1. Basis for the provision of Services1. VouWallet - the brand under which Company offers its services.
Main activity of Company is the issuance of Electronic money and the provision of services directly related to the issuance of Electronic money.
Company gives you the opportunity to make payments to third parties, including Suppliers of goods (services), and accept payments from third parties, including Suppliers of goods (services).
Company also allows you to keep funds (balance) in the account, which cannot be considered either as deposits or investments and are not subject to protection in accordance with the deposit protection plan. No interest is accrued on the balance of User's funds, since VouWallet accounts are not deposit accounts.
Company does not control and is not responsible for the quality of the goods or services that you pay for using the Service, since in this case Company acts as an independent intermediary (Payment Service Provider). Lack of control means that the Company cannot guarantee that Suppliers of goods (services) fulfill their obligations to you and does not assume obligations and potential liability arising from transactions related to the purchase of goods (services) paid for by you using Company's Services.
In addition, Company cannot guarantee the authenticity of User's identification data, as well as guarantee that the transaction between the contracting parties will be successfully completed. Thus, there are natural risks associated with the inability to guarantee the authenticity of User identification data in cases where the User provides deliberately false information. This circumstance may lead to the fact that Services can be used by persons under the age of 18 (minors), despite the Company's requirement that access to the Service is prohibited for users under the age of 18.

In accordance with the terms of this Agreement, you agree that the Company will execute your payment order by debiting funds from your account and crediting funds to the account of the person to whom you transfer electronic money issued by the Company on the same day. Payment order can be executed through your account on the Company's website or on the website of a Supplier of goods (services) integrated with the Company's platform. If the recipient's account is with another payment service provider, payment will be executed as quickly as possible, taking into account the conditions provided to the Company by such a provider, which is usually one working day from the date we receive your payment order.
You cannot cancel or revoke a payment order that has already been received by us, just as you cannot revoke your consent to the execution of the transaction. User can cancel the payment order only in the case of a recurrent payment, or if the order to cancel the payment is submitted at least before the end of the workin day preceding the next recurrent payment. Under no circumstances is the Company obliged to execute a payment order if User does not have enough funds in the account. Company reserves the right not to make a payment until it receives a reparation for this payment from the payment service provider (this also means, without limitation, that Company is not obliged to make a refund until it receives a reparation).
2. Certain restrictions (limits) may apply to transactions on your Account due to the requirements of anti-money laundering laws and regulations, or at our reasonable discretion (for example, without limitation, in order to limit the risk of fraud or credit risk). In no case may such restrictions (limits) exceed the maximum permissible limits provided for by the legislation on the prevention of money laundering, or any other legislation or directive of the regulatory authority. Specified restrictions (limits) can be viewed in your account.
3. A number of transfer limits are imposed on all accounts. In order to increase your initial transfer limit, you need to follow the steps below to obtain a verified status.

4. Transactions will be executed only if there is an available balance in your VouWallet account. In order to ensure that there is an available balance, you need to check your account balance and, if necessary, replenish your account by transferring funds using any of the payment methods available to you. After receiving the funds, Company will issue electronic money and save it as a balance on your account or transfer electronic money to the recipient, in each case – according to your instructions and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
5. You can choose the payment method at your discretion when replenishing your account balance, when making a regular payment, or when granting a third party the right to debit future payments from your VouWallet account. Your balance will be continuously used as the source of your next payment transaction.
6. Company may limit the payment methods available to you when depositing funds to your account. The reason why Company may impose such a restriction is to manage the potential risk that may result from a payment transaction. Any such restriction will be notified to you before the payment transaction is completed, at which point you will be asked to specify an alternative payment method (for example, another electronic wallet instead of a credit/debit card). Although Company may allow you to continue using the payment method that originally posed a risk, such an action will be executed with your consent and may limit your right to challenge the transaction (you may not be able to challenge the transaction due to the limitations of the payment method).

Thus, any transfer initiated from the banking institutions of these countries will be blocked, and the funds will be returned to the banking institution that initiated the transfer.

Keep in mind that the banking organizations involved in the transaction may charge an additional fee for the execution of this transaction.

- Maximum amount of each transfer is limited by limits (daily or annual), set depending on the level/type of your VouWallet account. Thus, if the amount transferred exceeds the limit set for your e-wallet, you will be asked to go through the verification procedure. If you refuse to undergo the verification procedure, or if the amount of funds transferred exceeds the established limits, the bank transfer will not be accepted by the Company, and funds will be returned to your bank account at the servicing bank. Please keep in mind that your servicing bank may charge additional fees for such transactions.
