Any exemption from this rule must be requested explicitly by the User and the Company must grant its express, specific authorisation.

Article 3. Conditions Applicable to Project Owners

3.1 Nature of the Services available to Project Owners

The Site enables Users who so wish to present their Project(s)in order to disseminate, promote and raise funds for a Project on the Site.

The conditions applicable to Project Owners only concern Projects managed by Project Owners, who create and manage a community of Users supporting their Projects on the Site. In this respect, the Company acts as a technical intermediary by providing Project Owners with an online platform enabling them to finance, disseminate and promote their Projects on a webpage or a series of pages dedicated to these Projects.

3.2 Presentation of Projects

Project Owners who wish to promote their Projects and obtain financing submit to the Company, for publication on the Site, a presentation detailing the nature, objectives, main characteristics and running of the Projects they wish to develop with support from Ululers.

To be accepted by the Company for possible promotion on the Site, Project Owners undertake to provide, with every Project submitted, a clear and accurate description of the Project, the minimum amount of Contributions required for the Project to be considered as financed, the Fundraising Period, and the Rewards they are offering.

The Project’s characteristics and parameters are submitted for the prior approval of the Company, which has no obligation to provide reasons for rejecting it, and in no way guarantees Ululers as to the Project’s success or the authenticity of information presented by the Project Owner. The selection of contents is primarily designed to verify the consistency and quality of the Project, not to control the viability or authenticity of the Project proposed.

For example, the Company will systematically refuse any whimsical or meaningless projects, and any that are patently unrealisable and doomed to failure.

Once posted online on the Site, Projects may no longer be modified except to make corrections solely deisgned to assist the achievement of the Project’s objectives.

It is the Project Owners' task to ensure that they have all the rights required to publish the Project on the Site, and that they comply with all legislation and regulations applicable to the design and realisation of the Project concerned. In particular, Project Owners must not submit projects that infringe current laws and regulations, could affront human dignity or a person's privacy, jeopardise the protection of third parties' personal data (see the Ulule Privacy policy ), contravene moral standards or incite or perform an illegal activity or any other activity infringing the Company's rights or those of its co-contractors, other Users and more generally any third person.

Project Owners are entirely responsible for the content of the Project presentation published on the Site and must ensure that this presentation does not mislead Users.

Project Owners acknowledge that the provision of misleading, incomplete or erroneous information could incur their liability towards the Company and Users, and assume entire responsibility for the consequences of any omission or negligence in this respect.

In the event of the death or incapacity of Project Owners or an accident or any other event making them unable to manage their Projects, the Company is authorised to suspend the fundraising process under way. More generally, the Company may, at its discretion, cancel a fundraising process and terminate to a Project if it is established that the Project Owner has infringed these Terms and Conditions.

In this event, all the Contributions registered will be immediately cancelled and the Ululers concerned reimbursed, and the Project Owner will have no right to claim the sums raised.

Project Owners acknowledge that they are firmly committed to implementing every possible means to carry their Projects through if they raise the necessary Contributions.

They are encouraged to regularly update their Projects and to share information concerning the latest news of their Projects and their implementation with the other Users.

They undertake to keep Ululers informed of major progress in their Projects, even after the Fundraising Period has ended.

3.3 Promotion on and outside the Site

In the context of the management of Projects and the Company’s marketing operations, the Company may decide to promote the Projects, Services, Site and/or the Company.

Project Owners agree through these Terms and Conditions that the contents and information they provide may be freely exploited by the Company to promote their Projects.

Project Owners therefore grant the Company the rights indicated below, exclusively and at no cost, for the entire world and for the entire period of these Terms and Conditions, so that the Company can provide the Service in the form of distribution on the Internet, on mobile telephony networks and/or any other current communication network available to the public.

In this respect, Project Owners grant the Company the right to:

-  Use their names and the name and characteristics of their Projects in its communication and promotion of the Site;

-  Reproduce and have reproduced the contents and information provided on the Site on any network, using any procedure, in any form known or unknown, whether or not in association with other works of any kind, when such use involves promoting the Project;

-  Represent the Project contents or have them represented in whole or in part;

-  Adapt the Project contents or have them adapted in whole or in part.

Project Owners also expressly authorise the Company to promote or advertise Projects and to distribute advertising, commercial and/or promotional messages concerning third parties’ products or services with the contents.

Project Owners also expressly accept that the contents and information provided may be used on the Site alongside the trademarks or logos of the Company's partners.

3.4 Realisation of Projects/Obligations of Project Owners

Project Owners undertake to fulfil all their obligations to Ululers, including completing the Project as initially defined, and to award them any Rewards described in the Project.

Project Owners should ensure their ability to provide the Rewards they propose to Ululers at the end of the fundraising processes started for financing their Projects. Rewards can be of any nature, not only financial (personal creations, works, partnership offers, invitations, etc.).

Project Owners undertake not to propose or provide any illicit Rewards, including those of a sexual, racist, discriminatory, libellous, harmful or xenophobic nature, that incite violence, harm the image of third parties, jeopardise public order or flout moral standards, infringe laws, professional secrecy or the ownership and rights of brands, patents or any other intellectual or industrial creation belonging to third parties, or that are dangerous or falsified.

If Project Owners are unable to award the promised Rewards to Ululers, they expressly undertake to reimburse the latter in full, and accept that the Company can under no circumstances assist them in this process.

Project Owners expressly acknowledge that they are solely responsible for managing the administrative, accounting, fiscal and social aspects of the Project, including sums received via the Company.

The Company is not responsible for the actions of Project Owners, who remain solely responsible for the terms linking them with Ululers in the context of raising Contributions via the Site. Project Owners are responsible for the Contributions they organise via the Site and any Rewards they propose in connection with Projects presented on the Site.

Consequently, the risks inherent to the development and management of a Project, such as the possible delay or cancellation of a Project, are entirely assumed by Project Owners.

Project Owners can organise reimbursements at their sole discretion. The Company is not responsible for the reimbursement or non-reimbursement of Contributions made.

Project Owners undertake not to propose their Projects or any other related Projects on any other online crowdfunding site or platform.

Article 4. Conditions applicable to fundraising and Contribution-monitoring services

4.1 Raising Contributions

Ululeurs have total freedom as regards the amount and allocation of their Contributions.

If appropriate, they may choose the level of Reward proposed by Project Owners, provided that the amount of the Contribution paid is equal to or higher than the value of the Reward chosen.

In accepting these Terms and Conditions, Ululers declare that the source of the funds they use on the Site is not illegal, and undertake not to use this source for an illegal or fraudulent activity, including money laundering.

Please note that the Company is only an intermediary between Project Owners and Ululers in the context of promoting a Project, mainly by making its Services and the Site available to Project Owners and Ululers.

Consequently, Ululers may not seek the Company's responsibility if Project Owners fail to meet their obligations.

4.2 Payment of Contributions by Ululers

The Company does not receive commissions from Ululers on Contributions raised. This is because the Company only takes a commission from Project Owners.

Contributions are paid using one of the payment methods proposed for the Project concerned, which may be a bank card, and/or PayPal, and/or payment by cheque, and/or any other means of payment already available on the Site or incorporated into the Service subsequently.

4.2.1 Payment online using a method other than Paypal

When you make a Contribution to a Project or publish a Project, you accept the terms and conditions of use of the payment systems used on the Site.

●  With fund payment and collection flows in euros: the Company has decided to use Mangopay SA’s Mangopay solution for all electronic payment services carried out in euros. By using the system available on the Site to make a payment in euros or collect funds in euros, you thus agree to Mangopay’s terms and conditions of use, which are appended to this document and form an integral part of the Ulule Site’s general terms and conditions of use.

●  With fund payment and collection flows in a currency other than the euro: the payment and collection of funds in a currency other than the euro are carried out using the Stripe Connect payment system. By using the payment system available on the Okpal Site to make a payment or collect funds in a currency otherthan the euro, you accept Stripe Connect’s terms and conditions of use. All Stripe Connect’s terms and conditions of use can be found here: https://stripe.com/connect/account-terms

4.2.3 Payment via PAYPAL

By contributing to a Project using the PayPal system, Ululers accepts PayPal’s terms and conditions of use, available on   www.paypal.fr . Contributions are only debited if Project Owners achieve their goal.

PayPal deducts its own commission from payments made. This commission applied by PayPal is received directly by PayPal.

The Company applies its own commission as payment for its intermediation service, as indicated in article 4.4.

It is stipulated that support for a Projet via the PayPal system is not eligible for Protection for PayPal purchases as defined in article 13 of the PayPal Service terms and conditions of use, which excludes such protection for payments made on crowdfunding or participative loan platforms (see article 13.3.iv).

4.2.3 Payment to Project Owners by cheque or bank transfer

The Company reserves the right to accept or refuse payment by cheque or bank transfer for each Project submitted by Project Owners.

If not, the Project Owners manage Contributions themselves, receiving Contributions directly.

Cheques or bank transfers should be sent to Project Owners by Ululers. Project Owners must then provide the Company with evidence that they have received cheques or bank transfers, in the form of a copy or photograph of the cheque, or proof of receipt of the transfer.

The Company will then manually validate the incorporation of these Contributions by cheque or transfer into the sums raised by the Project. Project Owners must provide the Company with proof of receipt of cheques or transfers before the end of the Fundraising Period.

Proof that the cheque was issued, or the cheque itself, must in any event be received by the Company by the end of the Fundraising Period. Cheques or bank transfers received after the end of the Fundraising Period, even if issued and/or sent prior to this date, may under no circumstances be incorporated into the Funds raised.

4.3 Management of Contributions

4.3.1 Payment by bank card via the Payment Service Provider Mangopay (payments in euros)

With payments made in euros, Ulule uses the Payment Service Provider Mangopay. With these transactions, Contributions are immediately debited from Ululers’s accounts.

Ululers may cancel their Contributions before the expiry of the Fundraising Period. In this case, the amount of their Contribution is automatically re-credited to their account.

If the Financing Goal has not been achieved by the end of the Fundraising Period, Ululers’ Contributions are recredited to their accounts.

If by the end of the Fundraising Period, the Financing Goal has been achieved or exceeded, Ululers’ Contributions are transferred to Project Owners’ bank accounts. At this point, Ululers who made Contributions using the system set up by the Company and its partner Mangopay can no longer be reimbursed.

In the event of a dispute, Ululers should take action against the Project Owner.

4.3.2 Payment by bank card via the Payment Service Provider Stripe (payments in a currency other than the euro)

With payments made in a currency other than the euro, Ulule uses the Payment Service Provider Stripe. With these transactions, Contributions are not immediately debited from Ululers’ accounts. A payment authorisation is registered, which will only be carried out if the Fundraising Goal has been achieved when the Fundraising Period ends.

Ululers may cancel their Contributions before the expiry of the Fundraising Period. In this event, their Contributions will never be debited.

If the Financing Goal has not been achieved by the end of the Fundraising Period, Ululers’ Contributions will not be debited.

If at the end of the Fundraising Period, the Financing Goal has been achieved or exceeded, Ululers’ Contributions are debited and transferred to Project Owners’ bank accounts. At this point, Ululers who made Contributions using the system set up by the Company and its partner Stripe can no longer be reimbursed.

In the event of a dispute, Ululers should take action against the Project Owner.

4.3.2 Payment by cheque or bank transfer

Project Owners undertake only to cash Contributions made by cheque once the Fundraising Period is over, and solely if the Financing Goal for their Project has been achieved.

Before the expiry date of the Fundraising Period, Ululers can cancel their Contributions at any time and ask Project Owners not to cash their cheques, but to destroy them.

With payments by bank transfer, Project Owners undertake to reimburse Ululers’ Contributions if the Project's Financing Goal has not been achieved by the end of the Fundraising Period.

With payments by bank transfer, Ululers can cancel their Contributions at any time before the expiry date of the Fundraising Period, and ask Project Owners to reimburse payments transferred in this way.

In the event of a dispute, Ululers should take action against the Project Owner.

4.3.3 Payment via PAYPAL

 Ululers can cancel their Contributions at any time before the expiry date of the Fundraising Period.

The payment of Contributions via PayPal will only be carried out by the Company if the Project’s Financing Goal has been achieved by the end of the Fundraising Period. The corresponding sums will then be paid from Ululers’ PayPal accounts to Project Owners' PayPal accounts. At that point, the Company can no longer cancel the corresponding Contributions or reimburse the Ululers who made them.

In addition, it is stipulated that the Financing of the Project via Paypal is not eligible for Protection for PayPal purchases as defined in article 13 of the PayPal Service terms and conditions of use, which excludes such protection for payments made on crowdfunding or participative loan platforms (see article 13.3.iv).

In the event of a dispute, Ululers should take action against the Project Owner.

4.4 Commission remunerating the intermediation Service and the transfer of sums raised.

Access to the Site is free.

The Company receives a commission on the funds raised by Projects of Project Owners that have achieved or exceeded their Financing Goal by the end of the Fundraising Period.

For Project Owners receiving Contributions, the cost of the Services provided by the Company are calculated as a percentage of the amount of Contributions raised via the Site.

The percentage applicable varies according to the payment method, the volume of funds raised and the currency in which the funds are raised.

For Project Owners raising funds in euros, the following pricing applies:

-  Bracket ranging from €0 to €100,000 of funds raised: commission of 6.67% excluding tax for funds raised via Bank Cards, and 4.17% excluding tax for funds raised via Paypal or in cheques or bank transfers;

-  Bracket ranging from €100,001 to €250,000 of funds raised: commission of 5.83% excluding tax for funds raised via Bank Cards, and 3.33% excluding tax for funds raised via Paypal or in cheques or bank transfers;

-  Bracket ranging from €250,001 to €500,000 of funds raised: commission of 5.00% excluding tax for funds raised via Bank Cards, and 2.50% excluding tax for funds raised via Paypal or in cheques or bank transfers;

-  Funds raised above €500,000: commission of 4.17% excluding tax for funds raised via Bank Cards, and 1.67% excluding tax for funds raised via Paypal or in cheques or bank transfers;

Example of calculation:

A project has raised €166,000 on Ulule, with €112,000 raised via bank cards, and €54,000 raised through Paypal.

The commission remunerating the intermediation Service is calculated as follows:

All the funds are first added up regardless of the payment method (€166,000), to apply the pricing for each Paypal/cheque/bank transfer bracket. After that, commission of 2.50% excluding tax is applied solely for the funds raised via bank cards, which constitutes the difference between the pricing for bank cards and the pricing for cheques/bank transfers/PayPal, whatever the level:

€100,000 * 4.17% + €66,000 * 3.33% + €112,000 * 2.50% = €9,167.80 in commission excluding tax.

With Project Owners raising funds in a currency other than the euro, the commission is 6.67% excluding tax for funds raised via bank cards, and 4.17% excluding tax for funds raised via Paypal or in cheques or bank transfers.

VAT is applicable at the current rate on the date when the funds raised are transferred, and depends on the Project Owner’s location. The services provided by Ulule SAS are considered by community legislation to be electronic services, and the VAT rate applicable when Project Owners are private individual thus depends on their location.

Since 1 January 2015, the provision of electronic services has been taxable in the place of consumption when these services are provided by parties subject to VAT, whether or not residing in the European Union territory (EU), to non-taxable persons (“consumers”) who have their domicile or usual residence in EU territory. Electronic service provisions are thus taxable at the current VAT rate in the member State where the consumer is domiciled (e.g. 20% for a private Project Owner based in France, which results in a commission rate of 8% including VAT for funds under €100,000 raised via bank cards).

If a Project has raised funds through bank card payments, the costs of the services corresponding to all the payment methods used are deducted by the Company from the amount of contributions raised via the Site when the sums are transferred to Project Owners.

This transfer is made within a maximum period of 12 working days after the end of the Fundraising Period, when Project Owners have indicated all the information required for transferring the sums (including their bank details) and provided all the identification data necessary for the payment of funds (bank account particulars, copy of identity papers, etc.).

If a Contribution by bank card is insufficient for the Company to deduct its commission, the Project Owner should pay the Company the amount of the commission due on receipt of an invoice.

4.5 Applicable taxes on funds raised and the issuing of tax receipts

All Users are responsible for paying any related tax or duty applicable, whether on the Contributions raised via the Ste as a Project Owner, or on the Contributions paid by Ululers to support a Project.

Under no circumstances may the Company replace them to this end, nor may it even advise them on the nature and details of their obligations.

Project Owners are responsible for drawing up any tax receipts certifying donations made via the Site and transmitting them directly to Ululers.

All Ululers are responsible for checking their eligibility for tax rebates on all or part of the Contributions they make via the Site, pursuant to current French legislation.

Any claims regarding the provision of these tax receipts and the information contained in them must be made directly by Ululers to Project Owners.

4.6 Information on Ululeurs transmitted to Project Owners

To enable Project Owners to send the promised Rewards and/or tax receipts to Ululers, the Company provides Project Owners with information on the identity of Ululers who have contributed to a Project together with their postal addresses, in line with the   Ulule Privacy Policy . For further information on the data communicated to Project Owners by the Company, please read the   Ulule Privacy Policy .

It acts as a hoster within the meaning of article 6 I 2° of the LCEN (Confidence in the Digital Economy Act) and as such practises a simple storage activity.

5.2. Site Users: keeping the Company informed

All Users must inform the Company of any illicit or manifestly illicit content by email, at this address: [email protected] .

This means that any information contained on the Site may be modified at any time, given the interactive nature of the Site, without this incurring the Company's responsibility.

8.3 Availability of the Site

The Company is bound by a best-endeavours obligation to provide the Services. It thus declines all responsibility for any unavailability, suspension or interruption of the Site or Services that arise during operations involving the maintenance, upgrading of hardware or software or emergency repairs to the Site, or due to circumstances beyond the Company's control (including but not limited to technical faults or failures in telecommunication connections or equipment).

The Company makes every reasonable effort to limit these disturbances insofar as they are attributable to it.

In addition, the Company may not be held responsible for indirect or unforeseeable damage within the meaning of articles 1150 and 1151 of the Civil Code.

Pursuant to article 1992 of the Civil Code, the Company's responsibility may only be incurred in the event of wilful misrepresentation or misconduct in its management.

8.4 Use of the Site

The Company wishes to draw the attention of Project Owners, Ululers and Users to the fact that by using the Site or the Services and/or publishing content and information on the Site, certain actions carried out on the Site and certain information published will be public and accessible to everybody. The company thus enjoins Project Owners, Ululers and Users to be careful as regards the possible consequences of such disclosure, particularly as regards their privacy (for example, in a Project description or when making a Contribution to a Project). For further information, please see the   Ulule Privacy Policy .

Once such information is published, the Company cannot be held responsible for the consequences of its disclosure.

The Company wishes to draw the attention of Project Owners, Ululers and Users to the fact that in publishing content and information on the Site, they may be led to disclose personal data concerning third parties to the Company and/or the public. The Cmpany thus enjoins Project Owners, Ululers and Users to be careful as regards the possible consequences of such disclosure, for which they are solely responsible. They should therefore ensure that they have the right to disclose such information. For further information, please see the   Ulule Privacy Policy .

Once these data have been communicated, the Company cannot be held responsible for the consequences of their disclosure.

The information provided by Users, Ululers and Project Owners must be true, accurate and not misleading. The consequences of its disclosure on their privacy and/or that of third parties are the sole responsibility of the Users, Ululers and Project Owners concerned.

We would remind you that Users take the initiative to disclose and disseminate information, data, texts, contents, photos and videos concerning them on the Site. Users thus assume entire responsibility for this, and may take no action against the Company, including on the grounds of prejudice to their image rights, honour, reputation or privacy resulting from the dissemination or disclosure of information concerning them, subject to the legal provisions of public law.

The Company does not guarantee that information presented is detailed, complete, verified or accurate. Documents, information, descriptions and in general any content present on the Site are provided “as is”, without any express or tacit guarantee of any kind.

Furthermore, the Company may not be held responsible for content disseminated by a User that could infringe the rights of other Users or third parties.

8.5 Creating contact between Project Owners and contributing Ululers

Because the Company's role is limited to intermediation, Project Owners and contributing Ululers expressly acknowledge and accept that the Company may under no circumstances or in any way be held responsible for Projects, including their presentation, management, delay or cancellation, or the delivery or non-delivery of Rewards.

The Company is not responsible for the actions or omissions of Project Owners, who remain solely responsible for all the terms and conditions for executing Projects with regard to Ululers.

Consequently, Ululers should only address questions or claims to Project Owners.

Project Owners guarantee and undertake to indemnify the Company for any damage suffered by the latter, and to hold it harmless against any action for damages instigated against it by a User, or more generally by a third party, as regards the infringement of any rights resulting from the publication and execution of a Project on the Site.

Likewise, the Company has no obligation to provide advice in the context of these Terms and Conditions.

The Company’s role with Project Owners is limited to assisting them in the presentation and promotion of their Projects.

8.6 Disputes between web users

The Company declines all responsibility if a dispute arises between Users and/or Visitors and/or Project Owners who have made contact with each other on the Site.

8.7 Hypertext links

The Site contains links to third party websites.

These linked sites are not under the Company's control, and it is not responsible for their content. The Company provides these links for convenience, but a link does not imply that the Company sponsors or recommends the linked site in question, or that the Company is affiliated with it.

Linked sites are owned and operated by independent retailers or service providers, and consequently, the Company cannot guarantee that Users will be satisfied with their products, services or commercial practices.

It is Users' responsibility to make all the verifications they consider necessary or appropriate before carrying out any transactions with one of these third parties.

The funds transfer request will be indicated on the Payment Page dedicated for this purpose. For all payments, the User may be requested to use a one-time code sent to their mobile telephone to the institution that issued the Card. If this is the case, it is the Service Provider’s right to refuse any payment following their free assessment without this decision giving rise to any indemnification. The funds transfer operation is carried out by the institution that issued the Card. Any dispute for such a transfer must be indicated to this institution. The Service Provider is not authorised to cancel such a transfer.

The Account Holder is informed that the Service Provider accepting a Payment Order by Card does not guarantee the receipt of these funds by the Account Holder in their Account. The funds arriving in the Payment Account of the Account Holder is based on the effective receipt by the Service Provider of the funds collected less the fees agreed to under the Price Conditions.

If the funds are not received for technical reasons, the Service Provider will make their best efforts to settle the operation. If the funds are not received for any other reason, the Service Provider will immediately inform the Account Holder of their inability to credit their Account in the expected amount, and to contact the User.

In the event that the transfer of funds to the Account of the Account Holder is cancelled by the institution issuing the Card following the User disputing it, the Account Holder accepts that the Service Provider may reverse any funds transfer operation by Card by debiting the Payment Account of the corresponding amount. The Account Holder recognises that such dispute may be brought to the attention of the institution issuing the Card up until a maximum time frame of thirteen (13) months following the date that the account was debited related to said Card. In the absence of sufficient provisions in the Account to carry out such a reversal, the Service Provider may suspend or cancel any Payment Operation initiated by the Account Holder or a representative, or as the case may be, subrogate the rights of the Account Holder by carrying out recovery procedures for the amount due by the User by any means.

5.2. Receipt of Transfer to the Payment Account

The funds are credited to the Payment Account by the Service Provider as quickly as possible following their effective receipt by the Service Provider. 

After the funds are credited to the Account Holder’s Payment Account, the Service Provider will make available a summary of the transfer operation received, including the following information: the reference number of the payment operation, a reference number allowing identification of the payer, the amount of the operation, the date of the credit value.

5.3. Execution of a Wire Transfer Operation Debited from the Payment Account

The Account Holder may transfer orders for SEPA or international wire transfers to a Beneficiary’s account held by a Third-Party PSP.

They will indicate on the Payment Page: the amount of the Payment Operation, the currency, the Payment Account to be debited, the date the Order is to be placed and any other required information. In the absence of a date indicated, the Transfer Order will be deemed to be placed immediately. The Account Holder must also follow the Authentication Procedure (or follow the Strong Authentication Procedure) indicated by the Service Provider.

The Account Holder may at any time issue a request to execute a Transfer Order to a Beneficiary designated by them that has a bank account or payment account from a Third-Party Payment Service Provider.

The Account Holder irrevocably consents to the Payment Order by clicking on the “validation” button (“Date of Receipt”). The receipt of the Payment Order is confirmed in the Account Holder’s Personal Online Area. No Order may be withdrawn by the Account Holder after the date upon which it is deemed to irrevocably have been received, which is from the Date of Receipt.

Before issuing a Transfer Order, the Account Holder (or the Platform acting on their behalf) must ensure that they have a sufficient amount of credit available in their Account to cover the amount of the Payment Operation and the related fees as established in the Price Conditions. If necessary, they must credit their Account before the Order is validly transferred to the Service Provider to carry it out.

It is expressly agreed that the Payment Orders are executed at the latest at the end of the Business Day following the Date of Receipt of the Order by the Service Provider (and on the agreed-to execution date for standing or timely transfers). Any Payment Order received after 4:00 p.m. by the Service Provider will be deemed to have been received the following Business Day. If the Date of Receipt is not a Business Day, the Payment Order will be deemed to have been received the following Business Day.

For each Transfer Operation, the Account Holder may request from the Service Provider to be provided with a Hard Copy of the information related to the maximum execution time frame of this specific operation, the fees that they owe and, if it be the case, the details regarding these fees.

The Service Provider may be required to refuse to execute a Transfer Order that is incomplete or erroneous. The Account Holder must reissue the Order so that it is in proper conformity. Furthermore, the Service Provider may block a Transfer Order in the event of serious doubt regarding fraudulent use of the Account, unauthorised use of the Account, breach of security of the Account, in the event of a freeze issued by an administrative authority or for any other reason.

In the event a Transfer Order is refused or blocked, the Service Provider will inform the Account Holder thereof by any means. If possible, the Service Provider will indicate to the Account Holder the reasons for this refusal or blockage, unless it is prohibited from doing so due to a pertinent provision of national law or European Union law.

The Service Provider is not involved under these conditions and may in no way be held responsible in the event of a dispute related to providing this service by the Third-Party PSP following said conditions.

The Account Holder may not revoke a payment order after giving their consent that the Third-Party PSP providing the service of initiating payment initiates the Payment Operation.

If an unauthorised, unexecuted or improperly executed Payment Operation is initiated by the Third-Party PSP providing the service of initiating payment, the Service Provider, at the latest at the end of the following Business Day, shall immediately reimburse the Account Holder in the amount of the unauthorised, unexecuted or improperly executed operation and, if it be the case, refund the Account debited so that it is in the state that it would be in if the unauthorised or improperly executed Payment Operation had not taken place. The date on which the Account Holder’s Payment Account is credited shall not be dated later than the date upon which it was debited.

6. Reporting

The Account Holder, in their Personal Online Area, has a statement of the Payment Operations carried out on the Payment Account available to them. They are asked to attentively acknowledge the list of these operations. Operations statements may also, upon express request, be made available to the professional Account Holder for other time frames.

It is specified that for each Transfer Operation carried out by the Service Provider, the Account Holder has the following information available to them: the reference number of the Operation, the identification of the Beneficiary, the amount of the Operation, the date the Order is received, and if it be the case, the fees related to executing this Operation.

They also undertake to educate the Authorised Persons regarding the confidentiality and security of their own Personalised Security Data. 

The Account Holder (and each Authorised Person) accepts to not communicate their Personalised Security Data to third parties. By way of exception, the Account Holder may communicate to authorised Third-Party PSP in a Member State of the European Union or in a State that is part of the European Economic Area agreement for information services regarding the accounts and initiation of Payment Operation (such as defined in Article 4 of European Directive 2015/2366, called “PSD2”). The Account Holder must ensure that this Third-Party PSP is authorised for the above-mentioned services and that it accesses the Personalised Security Data in a secured environment.

8. Objection Regarding Personalised Security Data

The Account Holder must inform the Platform of the loss or theft of their Personalised Security Data, of any misuse or unauthorised use of their Personal Online Area or data relating to them as soon as they become aware of this and request that it be blocked. This declaration must be carried out:

The Service Provider, through the Platform, shall immediately execute the request for objection. The event will be recorded and date/time stamped.

9. Blocking a Payment Account and Refusing Access to a Payment Account

The Service Provider reserves the right to block the Payment Account for objectively motivated reasons regarding the security of the Payment Account, the presumption of unauthorised or fraudulent use the Payment Account or a significantly increased risk that the Account Holder is incapable of fulfilling their obligation to pay the fees due under this Framework Contract.

The Account Holder is informed that the Service Provider may refuse access to the Payment Account by Third-Party PSP providing the service of initiating payment or information on the accounts, for objectively motivated or documented reasons related to unauthorised or fraudulent access to the Payment Account by this Service Provider, including initiating an unauthorised or fraudulent payment operation.

In this event, the Account Holder will be informed in their Personal Online Area of the block or refusal of access to the Payment Account and the reasons for this block or refusal. This information will be provided to them, if possible, before the Payment Account is blocked or access is refused and at the latest immediately after the block or refusal, unless providing this information is not communicable for reasons of objectively motivated security or is prohibited under another provision of pertinent European Union or national law.

The Service Provider will unblock the Account or re-establish access to it when the reasons for the block or refusal of access no longer exist. The Account Holder may request at any time that the Account be unblocked by indicating this to the Platform Customer Service, the contact information of which is included in the General Conditions of the Site. The Account Holder may be requested to create new Identification Data.

The Service Provider exercises no oversight over the conformity, security, legality, characteristics and the appropriate character of the products and services subject to a Payment Operation.

Every operation carried out by the Account Holder gives rise to a contract created directly between themselves and a User who is a stranger to the Service Provider. Consequently, the latter cannot be held responsible for the non-performance or improper performance of the obligations arising from it, or any potential damages caused to the Account Holder.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Contract, the Service Provider’s liability in terms of an Account Holder is limited to reparations for direct damages as established by regulation.
