Other limits may also apply; you will be advised of these on the Platform where applicable.

3.5. Receiving payments (Transactions) and making refunds
3.5.1. Transactions made via a Mangopay Method of Payment
The following provisions shall apply in the event that the Partner has integrated one or more Mangopay Methods of Payment on its Platform. The Methods of Payment provided by Mangopay are identified as such on the Platform. Mangopay Services allow you to receive payments from a Payer as part of a Transaction carried out on the Platform. We collect these Transactions and record them in your Mangopay Account. To carry out a Transaction, Payers can choose the Mangopay Methods of Payment available on the Partner's Platform, under the terms we have agreed with the Partner. The Mangopay Methods of Payment available may vary from time to time. the Partner indicates the Mangopay Methods of Payment available to the Payers. It may include, but not limited to, card payments, receipt of transfers (SEPA or international), and receipt of debits. Transactions we receive on your behalf are recorded in your Mangopay Account, provided that we have received the funds from the Payer’s PSP. If the funds from a Transaction are not received for technical reasons, we will endeavour to do whatever is necessary to complete the operation in your Mangopay Account.
Disputing Transactions we have received for you - Depending on the Mangopay Method of Payment used by a Payer, the Payer may be entitled to dispute a Transaction in accordance with the rules of said Mangopay Method of Payment, including in the absence of fraudulent grounds. This is particularly the case for card and direct debit Methods of Payment. In the event that the Payer disputes a Transaction and we are required to return the funds to the Payer via the Mangopay Method of Payment used for the Transaction, we reserve the right to deduct the corresponding amount from your Mangopay Account, including by offset. In this case, we may proceed with the total or partial reversal of the disputed Transaction. Where applicable, we may also recover, by any means, the amount corresponding to the return of the funds for each Transaction in the event that you have insufficient funds, without prejudice to our legal capacity to subrogate to your rights in order to recover the sums due by the Payer by any means.
Mangopay Services including receipt of payment in other currencies - Upon receipt of a payment from a Payer in connection with a Transaction carried out on the Platform and unless otherwise instructed by you, we reserve the right to allow a Payer to make a payment in a currency other than the currency of your Mangopay Account. In such a case, the Payer will be offered a currency conversion service so they can pay in the currency of their country of residence and/or their Method of Payment. If the Payer elects to use the currency conversion service for the Transaction, they will be advised of the fees for this service (exchange rates and fees). Mangopay will not charge you a currency conversion fee when this service is offered to the Payer. Transactions we receive on your behalf in a different currency following the Payer's use of the currency conversion service will be recorded in your Mangopay Account at no additional charge to you.
Refunding a Transaction - If you wish to refund a Payer in connection with a Transaction, you may request the total or partial cancellation of a Transaction we have received for you in accordance with this article. Cancellation of the Transaction will only be possible if the funds corresponding to the amount to be repaid are available in your Mangopay Account.
The total or partial cancellation of the Transaction will be carried out using the Mangopay Method of Payment initially used by the Payer for the said Transaction, within the limit of the rules of each Mangopay Method of Payment (specifically card schemes and SEPA rules), no later than ten (10) business days following receipt of the refund request.
The cancellation of a Transaction may not always be possible for various reasons (such as when the refund takes place more than 11 months after the date of the Transaction to be reimbursed for Mangopay Methods of Payment such as card). In this case, the Transaction will be refunded to the Payer using another Method of Payment.
You agree that any information we may need to make a refund will be sent to us directly by the Partner.
3.5.2. Transactions carried out via an External Method of Payment
The following provisions shall apply in the event that the Partner has integrated one or more External Methods of Payment on its Platform. The External Methods of Payment are made available to the Payers by the Third-Party PSP selected by the Partner, in accordance with the terms agreed between the Partner and the Third-Party PSP. Transactions are processed by the Third-Party PSP and delivered to Mangopay by the Partner or by the Third-Party PSP. Transactions we receive on your behalf are recorded in your Mangopay Account, provided that we have received the funds from the Payers. If the funds are not received for technical reasons, we will endeavour to do whatever is necessary to complete the operation.
Dispute by the Payer - We inform you that the Payer is entitled to dispute any Transaction with their PSP, up to thirteen (13) months following the date on which the account linked to the External Method of Payment they used to carry out the Transaction was debited. These disputes are managed exclusively by the Partner. We invite you to contact them directly for any request related to disputes.
Refunding a Transaction - If you wish to refund a Payer, you can request the cancellation of a Transaction. If your refund request is initiated more than one day after the date of the Transaction, it may only be executed if the funds we hold on your behalf are sufficient to cover your request.
3.6. Paying funds into your External Account
(i) Registering an External Account
Funds recorded in your Mangopay Account will be paid to you exclusively in an External Account opened in your name with a Third-Party PSP. In this regard, you must register an External Account. You must provide the following information via the Platform’s Interface: IBAN number, BIC (optional), your surname, first names and exact postal address in your capacity as an External Account holder. You may add or change your External Account at any time via the Platform’s Interface provided you follow the procedure for the definition of the External Account which the Partner has provided on the Platform. You are not authorised to register as an External Account, an account that you do not hold.
(ii) Remittance of funds to your External Account
We will make payments to your External Account automatically and periodically (except where Article 3.7 below applies). In this regard, you agree that the information relating to the frequency of payments into your External Account will be communicated directly to us by the Partner. In some cases, you may change the payment frequency on the Platform’s Interface on a one-off or permanent basis.
We may block a payment if we suspect fraudulent or unlawful use of the Mangopay Account, breach of the Mangopay Account’s security or for AML/CFT reasons, including in the event of an asset freezing measure made against you by an administrative authority or any other reason as set out in Article 7.
If you notice that a payment is made with errors, you can notify the Platform's customer service department of this error. If the error is attributable to us, we will rectify the situation as soon as possible.
The payment of funds into your External Account is strictly subject to compliance with the obligations to provide documents to verify your identity, as set out in Article 3.3.
(iii) Currency of payments remitted to your External Account
Funds recorded in your Mangopay account will in principle be paid into your External Account in the currency in which the Transactions were recorded in your Mangopay Account and in which you expect a payment. We recommend that you check whether any additional fees applied by the PSP holding the External Account may apply in the event that the currency of funds payment indicated in your Mangopay Account is not the currency of your External Account.
Unless otherwise expressly instructed by you, where we note that (i) the currency of your Mangopay Account is not the official currency of the country in which you reside and/or (ii) the indicated currency of your External Account, we may convert the amount of the funds to be paid in the currency of your Mangopay Account into the currency of your country to the External Account. You will thus receive the funds directly in the currency of your country of residence and/or indicated for your External Account.
3.7. Other services
In the event that you have the option on the Platform to use the balance available in your Mangopay Account to transfer funds to another Platform user, the specific terms relating to the reuse of funds also apply, which you can consult here: Specific Terms
3.8. Fees payable to the Partner
You authorise Mangopay to deduct from your Mangopay Account any fees agreed between you and the Partner in the Platform Agreement in connection with the services provided by the Partner. In this regard, you agree that the amounts to be deducted will be communicated to us by the Partner. In the event of a dispute relating to the amount of the fees agreed between you and the Partner and which we have deducted, we invite you to contact the Platform’s customer service department.
3.9. Protection of funds
The funds we hold on your behalf are protected in accordance with the terms of Article 24-10 (5) and Article 14 of the Law of 10 November 2009 published in Memorial A No. 215 of 11 November 2009 of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
3.10. Blocking your Mangopay Account and Mangopay Services
We may block your Mangopay Account and suspend Mangopay Services for reasons relating to the security of the Mangopay Account, on the presumption of unauthorised, unlawful or fraudulent use of the Mangopay Account and/or Mangopay Services, in the event of serious breaches under these Terms and Conditions, proven suspicions of money laundering or terrorist financing, asset freezing measures made against you, or at the justified request of our banking partners or card schemes where the latter consider that your use of the Mangopay Services is in breach with their rules. For any questions relating to the blocking of your Mangopay Account or the suspension of Mangopay Services, we invite you to first contact the Platform’s customer service. We inform you that in some cases, we are prohibited by law from providing you with reasons for blocking the Mangopay Account or suspending the Mangopay Services.
In addition to complying with the restrictive measures and sanctions provided for by European Union law, Mangopay is obliged, as a subsidiary of a company based in the United States of America, to comply with the economic sanctions and other restrictive measures implemented in particular by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the US Treasury Department. This means that we will be obliged to immediately restrict a Transaction, suspend and/or stop providing you with all or part of the Mangopay Services and/or terminate these Terms and Conditions immediately if we detect that you are a person designated in the OFAC measures/sanctions and/or that Transactions in your Mangopay Account more generally involve (i) persons, (ii) countries or (iii) specific products/services originating from certain countries/geographic areas covered by the OFAC, in addition to trade restrictions imposed by related laws and regulations.
We will unblock your Mangopay Account and Mangopay Services when the reasons justifying the blocking no longer exist.
3.11. Security
We make every effort to ensure the confidentiality and security of your Mangopay Account. We may temporarily suspend use of the Mangopay Account and/or Mangopay Services for technical, security or maintenance reasons, without these operations giving rise to any form of compensation. We will limit these types of interruptions to what is strictly necessary.
You must take all reasonable steps to control and ensure the security of the devices you use to access the Platform and Mangopay Services. If you are a legal entity, you must also ensure that only persons authorised by you use the Mangopay Services. You are fully responsible for the use made of the Mangopay Services and access to the Mangopay Account by anyone authorised by you in this regard. Our liability shall not be sought in this respect, except in the event of proven negligence on our part.
3.12. Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism
We are subject to the applicable regulations concerning anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT). In order to provide you with the Payment Services, the regulations
require us to identify you and verify your identity, as well as that of your beneficial owner in the event that you are a legal entity. In some cases, we may also need to obtain information concerning a Transaction (such as its purpose, origin or destination) or the use of your Mangopay Account. As such, if we consider that the information available to us is not sufficient, or if this information reveals any concerns regarding money laundering or terrorist financing, we may at any time suspend the use of your Mangopay Account and the provision of Mangopay Services, without prejudice to our entitlement to request the termination of the Terms and Conditions binding us, if we believe that by continuing to provide you with the Mangopay Services we will be unable to comply with our AML/CFT obligations.
We inform you that the Mangopay Services we provide to you may be subject to the exercise of the right of communication by the competent authorities, such as the national financial intelligence unit. No civil liability suit or action may be brought or any professional sanction imposed against Mangopay, its directors or its agents who have reported the suspicious activity to their national authority in good faith.
Section 4. Amendment, Duration and End of the Contract
4.1. Amendment of the Terms and Conditions

In the event that we are unable to pay you the funds, we will continue to administer your assets diligently, in return for which we reserve the right to deduct an administrative management fee of thirty (30) euros per year.
These administrative management fees will be limited to the positive balance available in the Mangopay Account. Once the balance of your Mangopay Account becomes zero, the Account will be automatically closed and these Terms and Conditions will be permanently terminated. Until you present yourself to recover the sums recorded in your Mangopay Account, it will be blocked and maintained for the sole purpose of transferring the sums due to the External Account you have specified, without prejudice to the administrative management fees charged by Mangopay.

If applicable, if the balance of your Mangopay Account is zero, it will be automatically closed at the end of the notice period and the Terms and Conditions will be deemed terminated.
If the balance of your Mangopay Account is positive, you will need to recover the funds in an External Account held by you so that your Mangopay Account can be closed. If you do not recover your funds, we will continue to administer your assets diligently in accordance with the provisions below.
If the Partner no longer uses the Mangopay Services, your Mangopay Account will be considered inactive if no transaction has been recorded in your Mangopay Account for one (1) year (excluding administrative management fees).

Section 6. Limitation of liability
Our liability is limited to the provision of Mangopay Services.

We do not exercise any control over the compliance or characteristics of the products and services for which we process a payment. We are extraneous to the contract between you and a Payer or between you and the Partner. As a result, we cannot be held liable for the non-performance or improper performance of the obligations resulting therefrom, nor for the fault, misconduct or negligence of any Payer or Partner committed towards you.

Our service providers are generally located within the European Union, particularly in Luxembourg, Poland, France, Ireland, and Germany. Some of these entities are also located outside the European Union and the European Economic Area ("EEA"), among others in the United States, England, and Canada. In order to ensure the proper performance of Mangopay Services, you consent to your data being shared with entities within the Group to which Mangopay belongs, when such entities are involved in Mangopay Services provision.
