We may suspend or terminate your access to the Weavr Platform at any time and for any reason, including but not limited to:
Your Rights
You have the right to:
Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a „data subject access request“). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we or our partners (if relevant) hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it. Where your personal data is held by any of our partners in relation to your use of the Weavr Services, the Payment Services or otherwise, we shall act as that partner’s agent in responding to your data subject access request.
Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it.
You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:
If you want us to establish the data’s accuracy.
Where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it.
Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
You have objected to our use of Your Data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
No fee usually required
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
What we may need from you
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
Time limit to respond
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

If we are unable to notify you beforehand, we will notify you immediately afterwards. We will not notify you if doing so would compromise our security measures or would be unlawful.
14.7. Your Card and/ or Account will be unblocked or re-activated (or replaced) as soon as possible after the reasons for blocking cease to exist.
Communicating with you about fraud or security threats
14.8. We may need to contact you urgently in the event of suspected or actual fraud or security threats to your Account, Card and/or security details. To do so, we may use an SMS, telephone, e-mail or another secure procedure. When we contact you, we may also give you information on how you can minimise any risk to your Account, Card or security details depending on the nature of the security threat. But will never ask you to give your full security details (such as PIN, password or passcode) or ask you to transfer money to a new account for security reasons.
15.1. You must notify Paynetics in writing of any unauthorised or incorrectly executed payments on your Card or Account without undue delay after becoming aware of such unauthorised or incorrectly executed payment and in any case no later than two months from the date the payment was debited to your Account/Card. You can notify us of such unauthorised or incorrectly executed payments by contacting the Customer Relations Centre (see clause 21 for details). You shall be considered to be informed of an unauthorised or incorrectly executed payment as from the moment of accessing the relevant statement on the App. Paynetics shall not be held liable for any unauthorised or incorrectly executed payment transactions under this clause 15 where Paynetics has not received a notice within two months from the date when your Account/Card was debited.
15.2. If you notify us of an unauthorised or incorrectly executed payment in accordance with clause 15.1, you may be entitled to receive a refund of the funds as detailed below. Paynetics will verify the authenticity of the payment, its proper recording and reporting, and whether the transaction has been affected by a technical malfunction or other defect.
15.3. In the event that Paynetics establishes an unauthorised transaction and where there are no reasonable grounds for suspecting that you/the Cardholder acted fraudulently, Paynetics shall refund to you the value of the unauthorised transaction within the statutory timelines. If necessary, Paynetics shall restore your Account/Card to the status it would be if the unauthorised transaction was not effected.
15.4. In you are entitled to a refund for an incorrectly executed or unauthorised payment, we will refund you as soon as possible upon receipt of your claim or any additional information we may request in order to investigate your right to a refund. However, if after we refund you, our investigation leads us to reasonably that you were not entitled to the refund, we will have the right deduct the amount of the refund from any funds on Accounts you hold with us and reserve the right to recover the value of the refunded payment by any other legal means.
15.5. The provision of clause 15.3 hereof shall not apply and you shall bear all losses, irrespective of their amount, relating to unauthorised transactions if you/the Cardholder have caused them by fraud or failure to perform one or more of the obligations under the Agreement.
15.6. You shall pay a fee in accordance with the Tariff in the cases where it appears that their notification under clause 15.1 hereof is unjustified.
Unauthorised payments from your Account or Card

15.7.1. the payment was authorised by you/the Cardholder;
15.7.2. you have acted fraudulently;
15.7.3. you have failed to comply with one or more of the obligations under this Agreement (for example, with regards to keeping your Account and Card safe or to notify us of any unauthorised payments).
Non-executed or Incorrectly executed payments from your Account or Card
15.8. If Paynetics fails to execute or incorrectly executes a payment from your Account or made using a Card, Paynetics will promptly reimburse the amount of the payment (including any fees to restore the Account to the position it would have been at if the defective payment was not made), unless Paynetics can show that the recipient’s payment service provider has received the payment (in which case they will be liable). In this case, on your request, Paynetics will make reasonable efforts to trace the payment and inform you about the outcome.
15.9. Paynetics will not be liable for any payment executed in accordance with the payment instructions given by you. If the payment instruction you have given us was incorrect or incomplete (for example, you have made a mistake in giving us the recipient’s account details), Paynetics will make reasonable efforts to recover the payment amount. Paynetics may charge you a fee for any such recovery as indicated in the Tariff. If Paynetics is not able to recover the payment amount, Paynetics will, on your written request, provide you with the relevant information about the payment.
Late or incorrectly executed payments to your Account
15.10. If a payment is received in your Account incorrectly (for example, by mistake), Paynetics may, where it considers reasonable to do so, hold the payment and return it to the sender. In any case, Paynetics is obliged to provide certain information to the sender’s payment service provider about you and the payment to enable them to recover the funds.
Payments initiated by payee
15.11. If you/the Cardholder authorise a payment initiated by or through the payee without knowing the final amount of the payment (for example, a Card payment initiated by the merchant when renting a car or booking a hotel room), you have the right to request Paynetics for a refund of such payment provided that all of the following conditions are met:
15.11.1. you have asked for a refund within 8 weeks from the date on which your Paynetics Account was debited;
15.11.2. at the time of authorisation to execute the payment, its exact amount was not specified; and
15.11.3. the amount of the payment exceeded the amount you could have reasonably expected taking into account your previous spending patterns, the terms of this Agreement and the case-specific circumstances. If the amount of the payment increased because of the currency exchange when the reference exchange rate agreed with
Paynetics has been applied, it will not be a valid reason. At the request of Paynetics, you must provide information to show the conditions above have been met.
15.12. Within 10 business days of receiving your request for a refund, or, where applicable, of receiving the further information Paynetics requested, Paynetics will refund the full amount of the payment or inform you of the refusal to refund it, together with the grounds for refusal and the authorities to which you can complain if you do not accept those grounds. The refund will include the entire amount of the payment which will be dated back to the date on which your Account was debited.
15.13. You will not be entitled to a refund of any payment initiated by or through payee when:
15.13.1. you have given your consent to perform the payment directly to Paynetics; and
15.13.2. where applicable, Paynetics or the payee has informed you about the upcoming payment at least 4 weeks before it was due to be made.

15.7. You shall pay a fee in accordance with the Tariff in the cases where it appears that their notification under Article 15.1 hereof is unjustified.
Unauthorised payments from your Account or Card
15.8. You will not be entitled to a refund and you will bear all losses, irrespective of their amount, relating to an unauthorised payment if:
15.8.1. the payment was authorised by you;
15.8.2. you have acted fraudulently;

Non-executed or Incorrectly executed payments from your Account or Card
15.9. If Paynetics fails to execute or incorrectly executes a payment from your Account or made using a Card, Paynetics will promptly reimburse the amount of the payment (including any fees to restore the Account or Card to the position it would have been as if the defective payment was not made), unless Paynetics can show that the recipient’s payment service provider has received the payment (in which case they will be liable). In this case, on your request, Paynetics will make reasonable efforts to trace the payment and inform you about the outcome.
15.10. Paynetics will not be liable for any payment executed in accordance with the payment instructions given by you. If the payment instruction you have given us was incorrect or incomplete (for example, you have made a mistake in giving us the recipient’s account details), Paynetics will make reasonable efforts to recover the payment amount. Paynetics may charge you a fee for any such recovery as indicated in the Tariff. If Paynetics is not able to recover the payment amount, Paynetics will, on your written request, provide you with the relevant information about the payment.
Late or incorrectly executed payments to your Account
15.11. If a payment is received in your Account incorrectly (for example, by mistake), Paynetics may, where it considers reasonable to do so, hold the payment and return it to the sender. In any case, Paynetics is obliged to provide certain information to the sender’s payment service provider about you and the payment to enable them to recover the funds.
Payments initiated by payee
15.12. If you authorise a payment initiated by or through the payee without knowing the final amount of the payment (for example, a Card payment initiated by the merchant when renting a car or booking a hotel room), you have the right to request Paynetics for a refund of such payment provided that all of the following conditions are met:
15.12.1. you have asked for a refund within 8 weeks from the date on which your Paynetics Account was debited;
15.12.2. at the time of authorisation to execute the payment, its exact amount was not specified; and
15.12.3. the amount of the payment exceeded the amount you could have reasonably expected taking into account your previous spending patterns, the terms of this Agreement and the case-specific circumstances. If the amount of the payment increased because of the currency exchange when the reference exchange rate agreed with Paynetics has been applied, it will not be a valid reason.
At the request of Paynetics, you must provide information to show the conditions above have been met.
15.13. Within 10 business days of receiving your request for a refund, or, where applicable, of receiving the further information Paynetics requested, Paynetics will refund the full amount of the payment or inform you of the refusal to refund it, together with the grounds for refusal and the authorities to which you can complain if you do not accept those grounds. The refund will include the entire amount of the payment which will be dated back to the date on which your Account was debited.
15.14. You will not be entitled to a refund of any payment initiated by or through payee when:
15.14.1. you have given your consent to perform the payment directly to Paynetics; and

We will notify you of the denial of access and the reasons for it beforehand if possible or otherwise immediately afterwards (unless doing so would compromise our security measures or would be unlawful).

In this case, on your request, Paynetics will make reasonable efforts to trace the payment and inform you about the outcome.
15.10. Paynetics will not be liable for any payment executed in accordance with the payment instructions given by you. If the payment instruction you have given us was incorrect or incomplete (for example, you have made a mistake in giving us the recipient’s account details), Paynetics will make reasonable efforts to recover the payment amount. Paynetics may charge you a fee for any such recovery as indicated in the Tariff. If Paynetics is not able to recover the payment amount, Paynetics will, on your written request, provide you with the relevant information about the payment.
Late or incorrectly executed payments to your Account

15.12.1. you have asked for a refund within 8 weeks from the date on which your Paynetics Account was debited;
15.12.2. at the time of authorisation to execute the payment, its exact amount was not specified; and

At the request of Paynetics, you must provide information to show the conditions above have been met.
15.13. Within 10 business days of receiving your request for a refund, or, where applicable, of receiving the further information Paynetics requested, Paynetics will refund the full amount of the payment or inform you of the refusal to refund it, together with the grounds for refusal and the authorities to which you can complain if you do not accept those grounds.

14.2.6.4. are identical to previously selected PIN/password.
14.2.7. use up-to-date virus, malware, and spyware software and a firewall on any devices used to access your Account or cards to reduce the risk of security breaches.
Your obligation to notify us
14.3. If your Card has been withheld by an ATM, you must immediately notify Paynetics. If Paynetics is not able to return the Card to you, Paynetics will issue a new Card to replace it.
14.4. You must immediately notify Paynetics Customer Relations Centre (using contact details at clause 21) if:
14.4.1. your Card is lost, stolen or misappropriated; or
14.4.2. you believe there has been unauthorised use of your Card or Account or anyone else may be able to use or access your Account, Card or security details to access them. Paynetics will make all reasonable efforts to stop the use of Account and/or Card by blocking the Account and/or Card payments after receiving a notification from you.
14.5. Paynetics may restrict, block or deactivate the Card or Account if:
14.5.1. Paynetics is concerned about the security of the Card or Account or the security details relating to them;
14.5.2. Paynetics becomes aware or suspects that the Account, Card or security details relating to them are being used in an unauthorised, unlawful or fraudulent manner;
14.5.3. Paynetics reasonably believes it needs to do so to comply with the law or court order in any applicable jurisdiction, the instructions provided by a Card Organisation or any other rule or duty applicable to Paynetics;
14.5.4. this Agreement is terminated for any reason;
14.5.5. you request us to do so;
14.5.6. you have breached any term of this Agreement in a material way.
14.6. We will, if possible, notify you before restricting, blocking or deactivating your Account or Card that we will do so and the reasons for it. If we are unable to notify you beforehand, we will notify you immediately afterwards. We will not notify you if doing so would compromise our security measures or would be unlawful.
14.7. Your Card and/ or Account will be unblocked or re-activated (or replaced) as soon as possible after the reasons for blocking cease to exist.
Communicating with you about fraud or security threats
14.8. We may need to contact you urgently in the event of suspected or actual fraud or security threats to your Account, Card and/or security details. To do so, we may use an SMS, telephone, e-mail or another secure procedure. When we contact you, we may also give you information on how you can minimise any risk to your Account, Card or security details depending on the nature of the security threat. But will never ask you to give your full security details (such as PIN, password or passcode) or ask you to transfer money to a new account for security reasons.
15.1. You must notify Paynetics in writing of any unauthorised or incorrectly executed payments on your Card or Account without undue delay after becoming aware of such unauthorised or incorrectly executed payment and in any case no later than two months from the date the payment was debited to your Account/Card. You can notify us of such unauthorised or incorrectly executed payments by contacting the Customer Relations Centre (see clause 21 for details). You shall be considered to be informed of an unauthorised or incorrectly executed payment as from the moment of accessing the relevant statement on the App. Paynetics shall not be held liable for any unauthorised or incorrectly executed payment transactions under this Article 15 where Paynetics has not received a notice within two months from the date when your Account/Card was debited.
15.2. If you notify us of an unauthorised or incorrectly executed payment in accordance with clause 15.1, you may be entitled to receive a refund of the funds as detailed below. Paynetics will verify the authenticity of the payment, its proper recording and reporting, and whether the transaction has been affected by a technical malfunction or other defect. Since you are not a user, you agree that Articles 78 and 80 of the Bulgarian Payment Services and Payment Systems Act (or the equivalent provisions of the UK law, if applicable) shall not apply to the relations with Paynetics under the Agreement.
15.3. In the event that Paynetics establishes an unauthorised transaction and where there are no reasonable grounds for suspecting that you/the Cardholder acted fraudulently, Paynetics shall refund to you the value of the unauthorised transaction within the statutory timelines. If necessary, Paynetics shall restore your Account/Card to the status it would be if the unauthorised transaction was not effected.
15.4. In you are entitled to a refund for an incorrectly executed or unauthorised payment, we will refund you as soon as possible upon receipt of your claim or any additional information we may request in order to investigate your right to a refund. However, if after we refund you, our investigation leads us to reasonably that you were not entitled to the refund, we will have the right deduct the amount of the refund from any funds on Accounts you hold with us and reserve the right to recover the value of the refunded payment by any other legal means.
15.5. In the event that Paynetics establishes an unauthorised transaction and where there are no reasonable grounds for suspecting that you/the Cardholder acted fraudulently, Paynetics shall refund to you the value of the unauthorised transaction within the statutory timelines. If necessary, Paynetics shall restore your Account/Card to the status it would be if the unauthorised transaction was not effected.
15.6. The provision of Article 15.3 hereof shall not apply and you shall bear all losses, irrespective of their amount, relating to unauthorised transactions if you/the Cardholder have caused them by fraud or failure to perform one or more of the obligations under the Agreement.
15.7. You shall pay a fee in accordance with the Tariff in the cases where it appears that their notification under Article 15.1 hereof is unjustified.
Unauthorised payments from your Account or Card
15.8. You will not be entitled to a refund and you will bear all losses, irrespective of their amount, relating to an unauthorised payment if:
15.8.1. the payment was authorised by you/the Cardholder;
15.8.2. you/the Cardholder have acted fraudulently;
15.8.3. you/the Cardholder have failed to comply with one or more of the obligations under this Agreement (for example, with regards to keeping your Account and Card safe or to notify us of any unauthorised payments).
Non-executed or Incorrectly executed payments from your Account or Card
15.9. If Paynetics fails to execute or incorrectly executes a payment from your Account or made using a Card, Paynetics will promptly reimburse the amount of the payment (including any fees to restore the Account or Card to the position it would have been as if the defective payment was not made), unless Paynetics can show that the recipient’s payment service provider has received the payment (in which case they will be liable). In this case, on your request, Paynetics will make reasonable efforts to trace the payment and inform you about the outcome.
15.10. Paynetics will not be liable for any payment executed in accordance with the payment instructions given by you. If the payment instruction you have given us was incorrect or incomplete (for example, you have made a mistake in giving us the recipient’s account details), Paynetics will make reasonable efforts to recover the payment amount. Paynetics may charge you a fee for any such recovery as indicated in the Tariff. If Paynetics is not able to recover the payment amount, Paynetics will, on your written request, provide you with the relevant information about the payment.
Late or incorrectly executed payments to your Account
15.11. If a payment is received in your Account incorrectly (for example, by mistake), Paynetics may, where it considers reasonable to do so, hold the payment and return it to the sender. In any case, Paynetics is obliged to provide certain information to the sender’s payment service provider about you and the payment to enable them to recover the funds.
Payments initiated by payee
15.12. If you/the Cardholder authorise a payment initiated by or through the payee without knowing the final amount of the payment (for example, a Card payment initiated by the merchant when renting a car or booking a hotel room), you have the right to request Paynetics for a refund of such payment provided that all of the following conditions are met:
15.12.1. you have asked for a refund within 8 weeks from the date on which your Paynetics Account was debited;
15.12.2. at the time of authorisation to execute the payment, its exact amount was not specified; and
15.12.3. the amount of the payment exceeded the amount you could have reasonably expected taking into account your previous spending patterns, the terms of this Agreement and the case-specific circumstances. If the amount of the payment increased because of the currency exchange when the reference exchange rate agreed with Paynetics has been applied, it will not be a valid reason. At the request of Paynetics, you must provide information to show the conditions above have been met.
15.13. Within 10 business days of receiving your request for a refund, or, where applicable, of receiving the further information Paynetics requested, Paynetics will refund the full amount of the payment or inform you of the refusal to refund it, together with the grounds for refusal and the authorities to which you can complain if you do not accept those grounds. The refund will include the entire amount of the payment which will be dated back to the date on which your Account was debited.
15.14. You will not be entitled to a refund of any payment initiated by or through payee when:
15.14.1. you/the Cardholder have given your consent to perform the payment directly to Paynetics; and
15.14.2. where applicable, Paynetics or the payee has informed you/the Cardholder about the upcoming payment at least 4 weeks before it was due to be made.
General liability
15.15. Paynetics will not be liable to you for any damages or losses arising from or relating to:
15.15.1. Your/the Cardholders’ failure to use the Card or Account in accordance with this Agreement;
15.15.2. any payments executed in accordance with the information or instructions provided by you/the Cardholder which were incorrect, inaccurate or incomplete;
15.15.3. any unusual or unforeseeable circumstances beyond the control of Paynetics, the consequences of which could not be avoided despite Paynetics’ best efforts;

15.15.11. the quality, safety, legality or any other aspect of goods and/or services purchased using the Card or Account or any possible disputes arising between you and the provider of such goods/services;
15.15.12. Paynetics refusing to accept or execute any payment or restricting, blocking or deactivating your Account and/or Card in accordance with this Agreement;
15.15.13. loss or damage beyond Paynetics’ responsibility by law.
