5. Protection of Your Account and Passphrase

Our personnel will never ask you to provide your password to us or to a third party. Any message you receive or website you visit that asks for your password, other than the KoenigPayments Website or an KoenigPayments payment gateway on a merchant website, should be reported to us. If you are in doubt whether a website is genuine, you should contact us. It is advisable to change your password regularly (at least every three (3) to six (6) months) in order to reduce the risk of a security breach in relation to your Account. We also advise you not to choose a password that is easily guessed from information someone might know or gather about you or a password that has a meaning. You must never allow anyone to access your Account or watch you accessing the My Account area.
5.2. If you have any indication or suspicion of your Account, login details, password or other security feature being lost, stolen, misappropriated, used without authorisation or otherwise compromised, you are advised to change your password. You must contact us without undue delay on becoming aware of any loss, theft, misappropriation or unauthorised use of your Account, login details, password or other security features. Any undue delay in notifying us may not only affect the security of your Account but may result in you being liable for any losses as a result. If you suspect that your Account was accessed by someone else, you should also contact the police and report the incident.
5.3. You must take all reasonable care to ensure that your e-mail account(s) are secure and only accessed by you, as your e-mail address may be used to reset passwords or to communicate with you about the security of your Account.

After the expiry of this period you will not be able to access your Account but you may withdraw any remaining funds by contacting Support Service and requesting that the funds are sent to you in a manner that is reasonably acceptable for us. You may do so for a period of three years from the date of closure of your Account but we suggest that you withdraw your remaining funds as soon as possible as they will not earn any interest while being held in your Account. Your obligations with regards to keeping your Account safe as set forth in section 5 shall continue to apply.
6.3. You may not close your Account to evade an investigation. If you attempt to close your Account while we are conducting an investigation, we may hold your funds for up to 180 Days or more, subject to section 15.9, to protect KoenigPayments or a third party against the risk of Reversals, Chargebacks, Claims, fees, fines, penalties and other liabilities of whatever nature. You will remain liable for all obligations related to your Account even after the Account is closed.

If you do not access your Account for a period of three years it may be closed. After closure, we may use the information you have provided us to try to send you any funds in redemption of the E-money in your Account. If that information is not correct and we are unable to complete the payment to you, the unclaimed balances shall be discharged in total. Please contact our Support Service if you have any questions about funds held in your Account if it has been closed pursuant to this section 6.4.
7. Uploading Funds
7.1. You can upload funds by visiting the Website, logging into the My Account area (Account Top-Up section) and following the relevant upload instructions. You may be presented with a number of different upload methods, depending on which payment instruments you have added to your Account and which payment methods are available in your country of residence. Upload methods are payment services provided by third party financial institutions (for example, the issuer of the payment card you use to upload funds or third party direct banking service providers) and are not part of our service. We do not guarantee the use of any particular upload method made available, and may make changes to or discontinue the acceptance of any particular upload method at any time without following the procedure set out in section 1.5. Notwithstanding section 7.9. below, we shall not be responsible for the upload payment until the uploaded funds are received by us.
7.2. You may be asked to answer security questions or to complete other activities that we may reasonably require to ensure proper authorisation of an upload transaction.
7.3. If you choose an upload method using a payment instrument that may be subject to chargeback rights such as (but not limited to) credit or debit card or direct debit, you declare that you will not exercise such chargeback right other than for unauthorised use of the payment instrument or for a breach by us of these Terms of Service which would result in you having a right to a refund of the uploaded amount. Otherwise, you may not charge back any upload transaction or allow a chargeback of any upload transaction for reasons for which we are not responsible including (but not limited to) disputes with merchants for non-delivery of goods or services or insufficient balance on the payment instrument account. We reserve the right to charge you fees and expenses we incur in connection with such chargeback and any action undertaken to challenge the same. We may also charge you a Chargebacks Fee as set out in Schedule 1 (Table of Fees).
7.4. You may allow a merchant that you wish to pay through us on a regular basis (e.g. for a subscription service) to debit your Account for each recurring payment. In this case you authorise us to debit the payment instrument (e.g. your credit card or bank account) which you used to make the original payment also for each subsequent payment. In order to cancel recurring payments for the future, you should (a) contact us and (b) notify the merchant from which you have purchased the goods or services that you have cancelled the recurring payment. You should not cancel or otherwise reverse such recurring transactions by simply contacting the issuer of the payment instrument (e.g. your credit card provider or bank) without following the cancellation steps mentioned in this section 7.4. Subject to section 7.5., we will not be liable for any recurring payment(s) that are made before you have notified us of the cancellation and if your Account balance goes into negative as a result of such payment(s), you will be liable to repay such amount to us.
7.5. We will refund any past recurring payment(s) initiated by or through the merchant provided that (a) the original authorisation given to us or the merchant did not specify the exact amount of the payment and (b) the amount of the payment exceeded the amount that you could reasonably have expected taking into account your previous spending pattern and the circumstances of the case. You must request such a refund within eight weeks from the date the funds were debited from your Account. You agree to provide us with such information as is reasonably necessary to ascertain whether the conditions for a refund described in this section 7.5 are satisfied. Within ten (10) Business Days of receiving a request for a refund or, where applicable, of receiving any further information we requested from you, we will either refund the full amount of the payment or provide you with justification for refusing to refund the payment indicating that you have a right to refer the matter to the Financial Ombudsman Service (details in section 17.2.) if you do not accept the justification provided.
7.6. If KoenigPayments pays out a claim, reversal or chargeback that you file against a recipient of your payment, you agree to transfer and allow KoenigPayments to have your rights, benefits and remedies against the recipient of your payment. This is known in legal terms for you to agree to "subrogate" or otherwise "assign" to KoenigPayments your rights against the recipient and third parties related to the payment, and agree that we may pursue those rights, benefits and remedies directly or on your behalf, in KoenigPayments's discretion.
7.7. You may not receive a recovery for a purchase if you additionally receive a recovery for that purchase directly from the payment recipient or another third party.
7.8. If a chargeback or reversal of an upload transaction results in a negative balance in your Account, you will be required to repay such negative balance by uploading sufficient funds into your Account. Failure to do so is a breach of these Terms of Service. Repayment of the negative balance is due immediately without notice. We reserve the right, at any time, to send you reminders or to take other debt collection measures including but not limited to mandating a debt collection agency or solicitors or to pursue the claim in court. We reserve the right to charge you the expenses we reasonably incur in connection with any debt collection or enforcement efforts.
7.9. Uploaded funds will be credited to your Account after the funds have been received by us. Some upload transactions, such as those by credit or debit card, direct debit or direct banking will be credited to your Account immediately, but are subject to reversal in case the actual funds do not reach us within a reasonable time in which case we will deduct such reversed transaction from the balance of your Account. If your Account balance is insufficient, we reserve the right to require repayment from you.
7.10. For the purposes of an upload transaction through a payment instrument, we are a payment recipient and not a payment service provider.
7.11. You must not make an upload through a payment instrument if you are not the named holder of that payment instrument. We take any violation of this requirement very seriously and will treat any attempt to use a payment instrument of which you are not the named holder as a fraudulent act. Without prejudice to claiming further damages, if we are required to return funds uploaded from a payment instrument that is not in your name, we may charge an administration fee as set out in Schedule 1 (Table of Fees) per upload return.
7.12. Uploads may be subject to upload limits due to security and legal requirements. These limits are set dynamically depending on your verification status and the upload method you want to use. You should be aware that depending on your verification status your upload limits may be higher than your withdrawal or spending limits. You can view these limits at any time in the My Account area.
7.13. Uploads are subject to upload fees and currency conversion fees depending on which upload method and payment instrument is chosen. Please see Schedule 1 (Table of Fees) for details.
8. Sending Payments
8.1. To send a payment you are required to authorise the payment with your login details and password. We may also ask you additional security questions relating to you or your Account. If your Account is protected by additional security measures such as password tokens, you need to follow the instructions provided to you with such additional security measures. If your Account is enabled to make API payments, the procedure to make such payments will be communicated to you in the relevant integration manual.
8.2. Every recipient of a payment you wish to send through us must have a valid means that we can use for their identification. For most of our services these means of identification will be a valid e-mail address, number of mobile phone or a Wallet number.
8.3. If you are asked to provide details of the recipient's means of identification (e-mail address, number of mobile phone or a Wallet number), where applicable, you must take great care to properly type the exact details of who you wish to send money to. We use those details as the unique identifier to determine the intended recipient of the payment which you instruct us to process. Other information you provide along with the recipient's means of identification may be disregarded and we shall not be liable for any error you make when entering the recipient's means of identification.
8.4. If the e-mail address of the intended recipient is registered with us, the funds will be instantly credited to the Account associated with that e-mail address. Once funds are credited to the recipient's Account, the transaction becomes irreversible.
8.5. If the recipient's e-mail address is not registered with us, we will send a notification e-mail to that e-mail address with instructions on how to claim and receive the payment. If the recipient does not claim the payment within 14 days, the transaction will be cancelled and the funds will be returned to you. You may also cancel the transaction at any time before the funds have been credited to the recipient's Account. To cancel a transaction you should log into the My Account area (Money Transfers section), locate the relevant transaction in your transactions history and select "Cancel".
8.6. You can make recurring payments by setting up a recurring payment order on your Account. You can cancel your recurring payment order for future payments at any point by logging into the My Account area and deleting it. You will not be able to cancel transactions that have already been credited to the recipient.
8.7. Payments are subject to payment limits due to security and legal requirements. These limits are set dynamically depending on your verification status. You can view these limits at any time in the My Account area. You should ensure that your limits are sufficient to cover the payment you intend to make as well as any applicable fees including service fees and currency conversion fees. You should be aware that the recipient of a payment may also be subject to spending and withdrawal limits and that this may affect the recipient's access to the funds you intend to send.
8.8. Sending payments is subject to fees and currency conversion fees depending on the type of payment you make and the type of Account you hold. Please see the Schedule 1 (Table of Fees) for details.
9. Receiving Funds
9.1. If you receive funds into your Account, we will send you a notification e-mail and display the payment as a "Receive Money" transaction in your transactions history. You should regularly reconcile incoming payments with your own records.
9.2. You should be aware that receipt of funds to your Account does not necessarily mean that these transactions cannot be reversed. We reserve the right to reverse a payment in case the payer or the payer's bank or payment service provider has charged back or otherwise reversed (or is reasonably likely to charge back or otherwise reverse) an upload or other payment which was used to fund the payment to you.
9.3. If a person received a payment notification from us indicating that someone has sent them funds to an e-mail address that is not registered, they will not be credited with the payment until it has been claimed in accordance with the instructions laid out in the notification e-mail. Until then, there will be no contractual or fiduciary relationship between us and the intended recipient. The funds remain those of the sender.
9.4. You can request a payment from someone by using the "Receive Money" service within the My Account area. You must only use this service for undisputed amounts that a person owes you and that are due for payment in full. You may not use this service more than once for the same payment you request. This service may not be used as a debt collection or enforcement tool. If the person that owes you the payment asks you not to use "Receive Money" service to request payment from them, you must comply with this request regardless of the merits of your claim. When using this service, you must ensure that you have the right to contact the person you are claiming from. You are strictly prohibited from requesting money by using the "Request Money" service within your Account from someone that does not owe you the amount requested; or has not given or has withdrawn his or her consent to receive a request for payment via the "Request Money" service and we shall have the right to claim any damages or losses arising out of your breach of this section.
9.5. The receipt of payments is subject to fees and currency fees, depending on the type of payment you receive and the type of Account you have. Please see the Schedule 1 (Table of Fees) for details.

We do not guarantee the availability of any particular withdrawal method and may make changes to or discontinue a particular withdrawal method at any time without following the procedure set out in section 1.5. as long as there is at least one withdrawal method available to you. Where the withdrawal payment is received by you through the involvement of a payment service provider (such as the bank where you hold a bank account), we shall not be responsible for the withdrawal payment once the withdrawn funds are received by your payment service provider.
11.2. Your Account is subject to withdrawal limits. These limits are adjusted dynamically depending on the type of identification documentation we hold on you. You can view your withdrawal limits at any time in your Account profile. Before uploading any funds into your Account, you must ensure that your current withdrawal and spending limits meet your withdrawal and spending requirements as we legally cannot allow you to exceed these limits.
11.3. If your withdrawal request exceeds the current limit, we may decline your request and instead require you to send us documents verifying your identity and address prior to allowing a withdrawal of funds or to otherwise cooperate with us to verify your identity.
11.4. Withdrawals are subject to withdrawal fees and currency conversion fees depending on which withdrawal method and payment instrument is chosen. Please see the Schedule 1 (Table of Fees) for details.
11.5. For the purposes of a withdrawal transaction, we are a payer and not a payment service provider.
11.6. You must not make a withdrawal to a bank account or other payment instrument if you are not the named holder. We take any violation of this requirement very seriously and will treat any attempt to use a payment instrument of which you are not the named holder as a fraudulent act. Without prejudice to claiming further damages, if we are required to investigate a withdrawal to a payment instrument that is not in your name, we may charge an administration fee as set out in Schedule 1 (Table of Fees).
11.7. You must ensure that the payment details you enter when withdrawing funds are correct and complete. We will not be liable for withdrawn funds being sent to the wrong payment instrument where this is due to you providing incorrect payment details. When withdrawing to a bank account, you must ensure that the account number, sort code, IBAN and/or BIC/SWIFT are correct. If you have withdrawn funds to the wrong payment instrument, you may request that we assist you in reclaiming the funds, however, we will charge you an administration fee as set out in Schedule 1 (Table of Fees) for doing so and we cannot guarantee that the reclaim efforts will be successful.
12. Fees and Currency Conversion
12.1. Fees depend on whether you are using your Account for personal or commercial purposes.
12.2. Transaction related fees can be viewed at any time in the "Fees" section of our Website. Additional fees apply to Accounts used for commercial purposes in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions referred to in section 3.6. above. You should print or download and keep a copy of the "Fees" section together with a copy of these Terms of Service. For clarity, the "Fees" section forms part of these Terms of Service. Fees are subject to change in accordance with section 1.5. Under certain circumstances we may charge additional fees as set out in sections 7.3, 7.11, 11.6 and 11.7.
12.3. Your transactions may be subject to currency conversions. If you make a payment from your Wallet in one currency to a Wallet in another currency, then the recipient may pay the fee for the conversion into the currency of his or her Account. If you choose a currency that is neither the currency of your Wallet nor the currency of the recipient's Wallet then you will pay the fee for the conversion into the currency of the payment, and the recipient will pay the fee for the conversion of the payment currency into the currency of his or her Account.
If you receive the payment in the currency which is not the currency of your Wallet you may choose to add the new currency to your Wallet or if you choose the funds to be credited in the Currency of your Account which is different from the currency of payment then you will pay the fee for the conversion into the currency of your Account.
12.4. For every currency conversion, we will apply our then current wholesale exchange rates which are available online in the Currency Conversion Fees section of the "Fees" page and which are updated on a regular basis throughout the day. Changes in these exchange rates may be applied immediately and without notice. In addition we will apply a foreign exchange fee, which is also displayed in the "Fees" section of the Website and which is expressed as a percentage applicable in addition to the transaction fee.
12.5. Our Fees are either expressed as a percentage of the transaction or as a fixed amount in EUR. Where fixed fee amounts are displayed in a currency other than EUR, this is for information purposes only. If fees are deducted from a balance or a transaction denominated in a different currency, the EUR fee amount will be converted into an equivalent fee in that other currency based on the KoenigPayments wholesale exchange rates applicable at the time and available under the "Currency Conversion Fees" section of the "Fees" section and then deducted. We will not apply a foreign exchange fee on currency conversions of fees.
12.6. Fees payable by you will be deducted from your Account balance and you hereby authorise us to do the same. Transaction fees will be charged when the transaction is executed. If your Account balance is insufficient to cover the fees, we may refuse to execute the payment. Reversal or chargeback fees will be deducted when incurred.
12.7. If the deduction of fees results in a negative Account balance, you will be required to repay such negative balance by uploading sufficient funds into your Account. Failure to do so is a breach of these Terms of Service. Repayment of the negative balance is due immediately without notice, however, we reserve the right at any time to send you reminders that you need to upload funds or to take other debt collection measures including but not limited to instructing a debt collection agency or solicitors or to pursue the claim in court. We reserve the right to charge you expenses we have reasonably incurred in connection with any debt collection or enforcement efforts.
13. Your Data
The processing of your data is governed by our Privacy Policy which can be found on our Website. You should print and keep a copy of the Privacy Policy together with these Terms of Service.
14. Errors and Unauthorised Transactions
14.1. You can inspect your transaction history at any time by logging in to the My Account area on the KoenigPayments website and clicking on the "Transaction History" menu. It is very important that you immediately notify KoenigPayments if you have reason to believe any of the following activities have occurred: (i) there has been an unauthorised transaction sent from your Account; (ii) there has been unauthorised access to your Account; (iii) your password or PIN has been compromised; (iv) any device you have used to access the Services has been lost, stolen or deactivated, or (v) someone has transferred or may have transferred money from your Account without your permission (this includes where you link your Account with a third party platform (including a site or app), to make payments directly from that platform, but a payment was made from your Account for a transaction via that platform that you did not make) (collectively called "Improper Account Access"). You must also immediately notify us if you have reason to believe that any other error has occurred on your Account. In order for you to notify KoenigPayments immediately of any of the above events, we strongly recommend that you monitor your Account closely on a regular basis. We will not seek to hold you liable for any unauthorised use of your Account by any person provided that we are satisfied that you have not acted deliberately so as to enable any third person to gain access to your KoenigPayments ID and/or password/PIN or to your device while you are logged into the Services. We will hold you liable for unauthorised use of your Account if we have evidence that suggests: you acted deliberately so as to enable any third person to gain access to your KoenigPayments ID and/or password/PIN; you acted fraudulently; or you have with intent or gross negligence failed to comply with your obligations to use your Payment Instrument in the manner set out in this Agreement.
14.2. You must notify us if you believe there has been or will be an error, unauthorised transaction, misappropriated or unauthorised use of your Payment Instrument or your Account, by contacting our Support Service or writing to KoenigPayments, Attn: Error Resolution Department at P.O. Box 54366, 3723, Limassol, Cyprus. You must give us all the information in your possession as to the circumstances of any errors, unauthorised transactions and/or misappropriated or unauthorised use of your Payment Instrument or Account and take all reasonable steps requested to assist KoenigPayments in its investigation. We may provide third parties with information we consider relevant in such circumstances in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
14.3. We will advise you of the results of our investigation within twenty (20) Business Days after we receive your notice. If we have made an error, we will correct it promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to sixty (60) Days to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide that we need more time, we will provisionally re-credit your Account for the amount you think is in error within ten (10) Business Days after we receive your notice; so that you will have use of the E-money during the time it takes us to complete our investigation.
At the end of our investigation, we will advise you of the results within three (3) Business Days. If we determine that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation and we may debit any provisional credit that we previously credited to you in relation to the alleged error. You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation (and this will not attract the Records Request Fee set out in Schedule 1).
14.4. If you report that there has been an Improper Account Access related to your Account, and there is no evidence to suggest fraud or deliberate or grossly negligent behaviour by you, we will reimburse you in full for all unauthorised transactions sent from your Account provided that you have informed us of the Improper Account Access without undue delay and in any event, no later than 13 months after the first Improper Account Access transaction was executed. Where we believe in our reasonable opinion that further investigation is required to ascertain more clearly the circumstances surrounding the reported Improper Account Access, we will follow the same process as set out in section 14.3 above for such investigation.
14.5. You are entitled to a refund of the full amount of any payment transaction authorised by you and initiated by or through a merchant or other third party, provided the conditions applicable to a refund according to Section 7.5 have been met.
14.6. If we discover a processing error, we will rectify the error. If the error resulted in your receiving less money than you were entitled to, KoenigPayments will credit your Account for the difference. If the error results in you receiving more money than you were entitled to, KoenigPayments may debit the extra funds from your Account. If the error resulted in our not completing a transaction on time or in the correct amount, we will be liable to refund any amount as a result of carrying out a defective or non-executed payment transaction and for your losses or damages directly and reasonably foreseeably caused by this failure, unless:
-
through no fault of ours, you did not have enough available funds to complete the transaction,
-
our system was not working properly and you knew about the breakdown when you started the transaction, or
-
circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood or loss of Internet connection) prevented the transaction, despite our reasonable precautions.
Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement, KoenigPayments will not be held liable for the non-execution or defective execution of a payment transaction (whether initiated by yourself or another KoenigPayments customer) if you have failed to notify KoenigPayments of such an incorrectly executed payment transaction without undue delay, or in any event no later than within 13 months after the debit date, on becoming aware of such incorrectly executed payment transaction.
15. Liability
15.1. You are responsible for all Reversals, Chargebacks, Fees, fines, penalties and other liability incurred by KoenigPayments, a KoenigPayments User, or a third party caused by your use of the Services and/or arising from your breach of the Terms of Service. You agree to reimburse KoenigPayments, a User, or a third party for any and all such liability.
15.2. If we have reason to believe that you have engaged in any Restricted Activities, we may take various actions to protect KoenigPayments, a User, a third party, or you from Reversals, Chargebacks, Claims, fees, fines, penalties and any other liability. The actions we may take include but are not limited to the following:
-
We may, at any time and without liability, suspend, block, limit, close or cancel your right to use your Payment Instrument or Account entirely or for any particular transaction, which may in turn suspend, block, limit, close or cancel access to your Account or the Services (such as limiting access to Top Up section of your Account, and your ability to send money, make withdrawals, or remove financial Information). We will normally give you advance notice of any suspension or cancellation but we may, if it is reasonable to do so (for example if you are in breach of this Agreement or we consider it advisable for security reasons), suspend or cancel your right to use your Payment Instrument or Account without prior notice to you;
-
Block your Account and/or hold any funds in the Hold Account (including, without limitation, for more than 180 days if so required by KoenigPayments, where KoenigPayments's rights under section 15.2 arise from your engagement in the Restricted Activity set out in Section 10.1 ag.);
-
Refuse any particular payment transaction at any time for any reason and will only be required to make available the fact of the refusal and the reasons for the refusal and how you may resolve the problem, where possible, upon request and provided it is not prohibited by law;
-
We may reverse a payment (including, if appropriate, to the sender's funding source), that violates section 10, or which we reasonably suspect of violating section 10;
-
We may contact third parties and disclose details of the Restricted Activities in the manner set out in our Privacy Policy;
-
We may request information from you or otherwise update inaccurate Information you provided us;
-
We may refuse to provide our Services to you in the future;
-
We may hold your funds to the extent and for so long as reasonably needed to protect against the risk of liability. You acknowledge that, as a non-exhaustive guide:
-
KoenigPayments's risk of liability in respect of card-funded payments that you receive can last until the risk of a Chargeback closing in favour of the payer/buyer (as determined by card scheme rules) has passed. This depends on certain factors, including, without limitation:
-
The type of goods or services for which you receive payment; or
-
The timeframe for delivery of the goods or performance of the services for which you receive payment (e.g. sales of event tickets months in advance of the event date can present a higher and more enduring risk of Chargebacks than sales of most other items or services);
-
-
KoenigPayments's risk of liability in respect of a Claim or Dispute arising from a payment that you receive can last for the time that it takes for the parties to close the Claim or Dispute and all appeals associated with that Claim or Dispute in accordance with section 17 of this Agreement;
-
KoenigPayments's risk of liability in respect of any event of insolvency that you suffer can last for as long as and to the extent that laws applicable to your insolvency restrict KoenigPayments from taking legal action against you; and
-
If you allow your Account to have a balance reflecting an amount owing to KoenigPayments, KoenigPayments's risk of liability can last for the time and to the extent that you owe that amount to KoenigPayments.
-
-
We may take legal action against you.
Unless otherwise directed by us, you must not use or attempt to use your Payment Instrument or Account while it is suspended or has been closed. You must ensure that all agreements with merchants or other third parties that involve third party initiated payments (including, Recurring Payments) set up from your Account are cancelled immediately upon the termination, suspension or closure of your Account. You remain liable under this Agreement in respect of all charges and other amounts incurred through the use of your Account at any time, irrespective of termination, suspension or closure.
15.3. Subject to the foregoing, we shall not be liable for any disruption or impairment of our service or for disruptions or impairments of intermediary services on which we rely for the performance of our obligations hereunder, provided that such disruption or impairment is due to abnormal and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our reasonable control or the control of the intermediary affected.
15.4. We shall not be liable for any indirect or consequential losses including but not limited to loss of profit, loss of business and loss of reputation. We shall not be liable for any losses arising from our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.
15.5. Nothing in these Terms of Service shall operate to exclude liability for death or personal injury due to negligence or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation or for any statutory liability that cannot be excluded or amended by agreement between the parties.
15.6. Our obligation under these Terms of Service is limited to providing you with an electronic money account and related payment services and does not make any statement in relation to or endorsement of the quality, safety or legality of any goods or services provided by a KoenigPayments customer or intermediary.
15.7. We shall not be liable for the assessment or payment of any taxes, duties or other charges that arise from the underlying commercial transaction between you and another KoenigPayments customer or intermediary. And it is your responsibility to collect, report and remit the correct tax to the appropriate tax authority.
15.8. Reserves. KoenigPayments, in its sole discretion, may place a Reserve on funds held in your Account when KoenigPayments reasonably believes (based on the information available to KoenigPayments at the time of taking the Reserve and what in its sole discretion it regards as an acceptable level of risk to KoenigPayments under all the circumstances) there may be a higher than acceptable level of risk associated with your Account. If KoenigPayments places a Reserve on funds in your Account, the funds will be held in your Reserve Account and those funds will be shown as "pending" in your KoenigPayments Balance. If your Account is subject to a Reserve, KoenigPayments will provide you with a notice specifying the terms of the Reserve. The terms may require that a certain percentage of the amounts received into your Account are held for a certain period of time, or that a certain amount of money is held in reserve, or anything else that KoenigPayments determines is necessary to protect against the risk associated with your Account. KoenigPayments may change the terms of the Reserve at any time by providing you with notice of the new terms. You may close your Account if you object to the Reserve. If your Account is closed for any reason, we have the right to hold the Reserve for up to 180 Days. When managing risk for Accounts, we may also limit the amount you can immediately withdraw or change the speed or the method of payment for withdrawals, set-off amounts from your Balance and/or require that you, or a person associated with you, enter into other forms of security arrangements with us (for example, by providing a guarantee or requiring you to fund your account with us with a certain amount as a security for your obligations to us or third parties). You also agree to undertake, at your own expense, any further action (including, without limitation, executing any necessary documents and registering any form of document reasonably required by us to allow us to perfect any form of security interest or otherwise) required to establish a Reserve or other form of security in a manner reasonably determined by us.
15.9. Payment Hold
-
KoenigPayments may in its sole discretion (acting reasonably) place a hold on that or any payment if there may be a higher than acceptable level of risk or exposure associated with your Account (based on the information available to KoenigPayments at the relevant time and what in its sole discretion it regards as an acceptable level of risk or exposure to KoenigPayments under all the circumstances). If KoenigPayments places a hold on funds in your Account, we will notify you about it (including, without limitation, how long the hold may last) - the funds will be held in your Reserve Account and those funds will be shown as "pending" in your KoenigPayments Balance. We may notify you about the hold through authorised third parties (such as partner platforms on which you transact).
-
KoenigPayments will release the hold made on your payment under this provision when KoenigPayments determines that the risk or exposure associated with your Account, no longer exists. Please note that, notwithstanding the above, if you receive a Dispute, Claim, Chargeback, or Reversal on the transaction payment subject to the hold, the funds (or an amount equal to the relevant payment) may be held in your Reserve Account until the matter is resolved pursuant to this Agreement.
-
You agree to provide to any information as KoenigPayments may reasonably request to allow KoenigPayments to determine whether the risk or exposure to your Account has passed. You may close your Account if you object to the hold under this provision. If your Account is closed for any reason, KoenigPayments has the right to hold a payment under this provision for a period of up to 180 days from the date the complete obligations under the contract for sale (to which the payment in question relates) have been discharge
15.10. Information about you. KoenigPayments reserves the right to request additional information from you, other than what is referred to in this Agreement, to allow it to comply with its anti-money laundering obligations. You agree to comply with any request for further information as we reasonably require to enable us to comply with our anti-money laundering obligations. This may include, without limitation, requiring you to fax, email or otherwise provide to us certain identification documents or conduct a meeting with us over the internet with a sound/video recording of the meeting, during which the certain identification documents may be provided to us. You also agree to provide us, upon our reasonable request and at your own expense, information about your finance and operations, including, without limitation, your most recent financial statements (certified or otherwise) and merchant processing statements (if applicable).
16. Termination and suspension
16.1. We may terminate your Account or any payment service associated with it by giving you five days' prior notice. You may terminate your Account with us at any time. Different termination provisions may apply if you use your Account for commercial purposes as set out in section 3.6. above.
16.2. Together with a termination notice or at any time thereafter we may give you reasonable instructions on how to withdraw remaining funds.
16.3. If your Account is subject to a Reserve, termination of your Account will not affect our right to hold the reserve and to make deductions therefrom for the time agreed.
16.4. We may at any time suspend or terminate your Account without notice in case:
-
you breach any condition of these Terms of Service or any other condition applicable to specific services covered by separate terms and conditions;
-
you violate or we have reason to believe that you are in violation of any law or regulation that is applicable to your use of our services; or
-
we have reason to believe that you are in any way involved in any fraudulent activity, money laundering, terrorism financing or other criminal activity.
16.5. We may suspend your Account at any time if:
-
we reasonably believe that your Account has been compromised or for other security reasons; or
-
we reasonably suspect your Account to have been used or is being used without your authorisation or fraudulently; and we shall notify you either prior to the suspension or, if prior notification is not possible under the circumstances, promptly after the suspension unless we are prohibited by law to notify you.
17. Disputes with KoenigPayments

Disputes between you and KoenigPayments regarding our Services may be reported to the Support Service at any time and by logging into the My Account area.

For complaints that cannot be resolved otherwise, you submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Cyprus courts arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the provision of our Services. In simple terms, " non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Cyprus courts" means that if you were able to bring a claim arising from this Agreement against us in Court, an acceptable court would be a court located in Cyprus, but you may also elect to bring a claim in the court of another country instead. Cyprus law will apply in all cases.
17.4. No Waiver. Our failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive our right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches.
17.5. Limitations of Liability. We shall only be liable to you for loss or damage caused directly and reasonably foreseeable by our breach of this Agreement and our liability in these circumstances is limited as set out in the remainder of this section.

-
any loss of profits, goodwill, business, contracts, revenue or anticipated savings even if we are advised of the possibility of such damages, loss of profits, goodwill, business, contracts, revenue or anticipated savings; or
-
any loss or corruption of data; or
-
any loss or damage whatsoever which does not stem directly from our breach of this Agreement; or.
-
any loss or damage whatsoever which is in excess of that which was caused as a direct result of our breach of this Agreement (whether or not you are able to prove such loss or damage).
-
Nothing in this Agreement shall limit our liability resulting from our fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, gross negligence, wilful misconduct, for death or personal injury resulting from either our or our subcontractor's negligence or to the extent such limitation or exclusion is not permitted by applicable law.
17.6. No Warranty. We provide the Services to you subject to your statutory rights but otherwise without any warranty or condition, express or implied, except as specifically stated in this Agreement. KoenigPayments does not have any control over the products or services that are paid for with our Service and KoenigPayments cannot ensure that a buyer or a seller you are dealing with will actually complete the transaction or is authorised to do so. KoenigPayments does not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted or secure access to any part of our Service. We shall not be liable for any delay in the failure in our provision of the Services under this Agreement.

We make every effort to ensure that the information contained in our correspondence, reports, on the website(s) and given verbally by our directors, officers and staff is accurate to the best of our belief at the time the information is provided. However, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of all such information in all circumstances and contexts, and no reliance should be placed on such information by you. You must check all correspondence between us carefully and tell us as soon as possible if it includes something which appears to you to be wrong or not made in accordance with your instructions.
You alone are responsible for understanding and complying with any and all laws, rules and regulations of your specific jurisdiction that may be applicable to you in connection with your use of the Services, including but not limited to, those related to export or import activity, taxes or foreign currency transactions.
17.7. Indemnification/re-imbursement. You agree to defend, reimburse or compensate us (known in legal terms to "indemnify ") and hold KoenigPayments, our other companies in our corporate group, the people who work for us or who are authorised to act on our behalf harmless from any claim or demand (including legal fees) made or incurred by any third party due to or arising out of your or your employees' or agents' breach of this Agreement, breach of any law and/or use of the Services.
17.8. Complete Agreement. This Agreement (including any Schedule) sets forth the entire understanding between you and KoenigPayments with respect to the Service.
