5.13. In all cases, when Paybanco receives a Payment Order but the funds cannot be credited due to errors in the Payment Order or insufficiency of information, and neither the Payer nor the Recipient has contacted Paybanco for the specification of the Payment Order or return of the funds, Paybanco undertakes all possible measures to track the Payment Transaction in order to receive accurate information and execute the Payment Order.

This measure is applied if there are possibilities to contact the provider of payment services of the Payer by electronic means.

5.15. In case it is impossible to apply any of the measures listed in clause 5.13 for tracking the Payment Transaction, and in other cases, if it is impossible to identify the Recipient according to the indicated or corrected data, the funds are stored in the Paybanco system until the Payer or the Recipient makes contact and provide additional data allowing for the credit of the funds to the Recipient (after debiting the fee for specifying or correcting the Payment Order from the transferred amount before crediting it to the Account of the Client-Recipient). Such funds may also be returned to the Payer if a written request is provided. In this case, the fee for returning the funds will be debited from the transferred amount before returning it to the Payer.
5.16. If the Client notices that funds have been credited to or deducted from their Paybanco Account by mistake or in other ways that have no legal basis, the Client is obliged to notify Paybanco about it.

5.22.3. When submitting a Payment Order online from the Client’s Account to the Paybanco Account of another person, the Client can choose to perform a password-protected Payment Transfer. In such case, the Client sets a password for the transfer when forming a Payment Order. The Payment Transfer will only be complete after the Recipient has entered the password set by the Client-Payer. If the Recipient does not enter the password set by the Payer, the funds are automatically returned to the Paybanco Account of the Payer after 30 (thirty) days. The moment of authorisation of such Payment Transfer is considered the moment when the Recipient enters the password of the transfer. Such Payment Transfer cannot be cancelled after the Recipient has entered the password of the transfer. The Client is fully responsible for the appropriate and safe transfer of the payment password to the Recipient and assures that the password will only be disclosed to the Recipient.
5.22.4. When filling in the Payment Order, the Client can enter a future payment date which can be not later than 2 (two) years from the day the Payment Order was filled in.

A transfer to another Paybanco Account shall be executed at the beginning of the specified day (00:00 hours in accordance with the time zone of the server EET). A transfer to a bank account is executed within the terms specified online.
5.22.5.

5.22.6. If the amount of money in the Paybanco Account of the Client is insufficient to execute the Payment Transfer, the Payment Transfer is not executed, however, the system will attempt executing the Payment Order for 5 (five) more days after the Payment Order receipt. If during this period of time the amount of money in the Paybanco Account is still insufficient to execute the Payment Order, the Payment Order shall be cancelled and no longer attempted to execute. If the amount of money in the Account is insufficient in one (1) currency, but there is a sufficient amount of money in another currency, the Payment Transfer shall not be executed until the Client converts the other currency to the currency of the payment (except for cases when the Client has ordered an automatic currency exchange or the transfer is intended for paying for goods or services via Paybanco).

Paybanco does not undertake responsibility for errors, discrepancies, repetitions and/or contradictions in Payment Orders submitted by the Client, including but not limited to, the correctness of the details of the Payment Order submitted by the Client. If the Payment Order submitted by the Client does not contain enough data or contains deficiencies, Paybanco, regardless of the nature of the deficiencies in the Payment Order, can refuse to execute such Payment Order, or can execute it in accordance with the data provided in the Payment Order.
7.6. Paybanco has the right to refuse to execute a Payment Order in case of a reasonable doubt that the Payment Order has been submitted by the Client’s Representative, or that submitted documents are not in line with the requirements set forth by legislation and/or Paybanco, or Paybanco has reasonable doubt regarding the authenticity and veracity of said documents. If Paybanco has reasonable suspicion that the Payment Order has been submitted not by the Client or the Client’s legal representative, or suspicion regarding the authenticity of the submitted documents, or other suspicion regarding the legitimacy or the content of the submitted Payment Order, Paybanco has the right to demand from the Client to additionally confirm the submitted Payment Order and/or submit documents confirming the rights of persons to manage the funds held on the Account or other documents indicated by Paybanco in a way acceptable to Paybanco at the expense of the Client. In cases mentioned in this clause, Paybanco acts with the aim to protect the legal interests of the Client, Paybanco, and/or other persons, thus, Paybanco does not undertake the responsibility for losses which may arise due to refusal to execute the submitted Payment Order.
7.7. The Client shall ensure a sufficient amount of money in a relevant currency on their Account to execute the Payment Order.
7.8. Before executing a Payment Order submitted by the Client, Paybanco has the right to require the Client to provide documents proving the lawfulness of the origin of funds related to the Payment Order. In case the Client fails to submit such documents, Paybanco has the right to refuse to execute the Payment Order.
7.9. Paybanco has the right to involve third parties to partially or fully execute the Payment Order of the Client if the Client’s interests and/or the essence of the Payment Order require so. In cases where the Payment Order of the Client requires sending and executing the Payment Order further through another financial institution, but this institution suspends the Payment Order of the Client, Paybanco is not responsible for such actions of the financial institution, but makes attempts to find out the reasons for the suspension of the Payment Order. Paybanco has the right to suspend and/or terminate the execution of the Payment Order of the Client, if required by law or in case it is necessary for other reasons beyond the control of Paybanco.
7.10. In case Paybanco refuses to execute a Payment Order submitted by the Client, Paybanco shall immediately notify the Client thereof, or create the necessary conditions for the Client to be informed of such a notification, except when such notification is technically impossible or forbidden by legal acts.
7.11. Paybanco shall not accept and execute Payment Orders of the Client to perform operations on the Account if funds on the Account are arrested, the right of the Client to manage the funds is otherwise legally limited, or in case operations are suspended by applicable legal acts.
7.12. If money transferred by the Payment Order is returned due to reasons beyond the control of Paybanco (inaccurate data of the Payment Order, the account of the Recipient is closed, etc.), the returned amount is credited to the Account. Fees paid by the Payer for the Payment Order execution are not returned, and other fees related to the returning of money and, applied by Paybanco, can be deducted from the Account.
7.13. Payment Transfers initiated by Paybanco may be Standard (non-urgent) or Urgent (if technically possible). The method of the Payment Transfer is selected by the Client (if technically possible). If the Client does not select a prefered Payment Transfer method, it is considered that the Client has initiated a Standard Payment Transfer that will be executed by automatically selecting the most favourable conditions for the Client.
8. Provision and Cancellation of the Consent, Cancellation of the Payment Order
8.1. The Payment Transaction is considered authorised only if the Payer provides Consent. Consent given to a Paybanco Agent is considered to be given to Paybanco. The Client (Payer) may provide Consent in the manner determined by Paybanco or agreed upon with the Client. Consent submitted in writing must be signed by the Client or his legal representative. Consent may also be confirmed by:
Electronic signature Password Codes and/or other identity verification means
Consent to execute a Payment Transaction or several Payment Transactions can also be granted through the Recipient or the payment initiation service provider. In all cases stipulated in this clause, the Consent shall be deemed duly approved by the Client (Payer), having the same legal validity as the paper document (the Consent) signed by the Client (their representative), and is permissible as a means of proof in resolving disputes between Paybanco and the Client in courts and other institutions. The Client shall not be entitled to contest the Payment Transaction executed by Paybanco if the Payment Order has been approved by the Consent provided in the manner set out in this clause.
8.2. The Consent of the Client (Payer) is submitted prior to the execution of the Payment Transaction. Under the Agreement between the Client (Payer) and Paybanco, the Payment Transaction may be authorised, i.e. such Consent may be given by the Client after the execution of the Payment Transaction.
8.3. The Client agrees that, in executing Payment Orders, Paybanco will transmit information specified in the Payment Order (including Personal Data of the Client), to persons directly related to the execution of the Payment Transaction, such as international payment card organisations, companies processing information about payments by payment cards, the provider of payment services of the Recipient, the operator of the payment system for execution of the Payment Transaction, agents of the provider of payment services, the payment initiation service provider of the Recipient, and the Recipient.
8.4. The procedure of cancellation of a Payment Order:
8.4.1. the Payment Order cannot be cancelled after Paybanco has received it, except for in the cases as described in the Agreement;
8.4.2. if a Payment Transaction has been initiated by the Recipient or via the Recipient (e.g. payment using a payment card), or by a payment initiation service provider, the Payer cannot cancel the Payment Order after the Payment Order has been submitted for execution, the Payer has granted the payment initiation service provider the Consent to initiate a Payment Transaction, or the Payer has granted Consent to the Recipient to perform the Payment Transaction;
8.4.3. upon expiry of the terms stipulated in clauses 8.4.1 to 8.4.2 of the Agreement, a Payment Order may be cancelled only if the Client (Payer) and Paybanco agree. In the cases stipulated in clause 8.4.2 of the Agreement, the Consent of the Recipient is also necessary.
8.4.4. when a Payment Transaction is initiated by the Recipient or through the Recipient by performing the Payment Transaction using a payment card, and when the exact amount of the transaction is unknown at the time when the Payer gives their Consent to execute the Payment Transaction, Paybanco may reserve the funds in the Payer’s Account, only if the Payer gives their consent to reserve a specific amount. Upon receipt of the information on the exact amount of the Payment Transaction, Paybanco shall immediately, and not later than immediately upon receipt of the Payment Order, remove the reservation from the Payer’s Account.
8.4. Paybanco shall credit funds to an Account and debit funds from an Account according to the Unique Identifier provided in the Payment Order, being the Paybanco account number or IBAN. Paybanco has the right, but not the obligation, to check whether the Unique Identifier given in the Payment Order received by Paybanco corresponds with the name and surname (name of the legal entity) of the Account Owner. In case the mentioned Unique Identifier is given to Paybanco to debit money from or credit money to the Account, the Payment Order is deemed Executed Appropriately if it has been executed according to the indicated Unique Identifier. If Paybanco verifies the Payment Order and establishes an obvious discrepancy between the Unique Identifier provided to Paybanco and the name and surname (name of the legal entity) of the Account owner, Paybanco has the right to refuse to execute the Payment Transaction.
8.5. Provided Paybanco receives a Payment Order to transfer money to the payment account of another provider of Payment services, such Payment Transaction is performed by Paybanco according to the Unique Identifier provided in the received Payment Order – the account number of the Recipient in IBAN format, except when the provider of Payment services does not use the IBAN format. Paybanco is not responsible if the Unique Identifier is not provided in the Payment Order or if it is incorrect, and/or the provider of payment services of the Recipient has set a different Unique Identifier for the appropriate execution of such a Payment Transaction (crediting funds to the payment account of the Recipient).
8.6. If necessary and/or required by institutions of other states, Paybanco has the right to receive additional information (e.g. the name and surname or name of the legal entity of the Recipient, a payment code) required for the appropriate execution of the Payment Order.

The Client is completely responsible for the safety of their e-mail passwords and all the other instruments used by them, as well as their login Passwords. The Passwords are secret information, and the Client is responsible for its disclosure and for all operations performed after the Password used by the Client for a relevant Profile or another Payment Instrument is input.
