PECUNPAY, as the predisposing party, has expressly and previously informed the HOLDER, as the adhering party, of the existence of the General Conditions listed in this document.
The HOLDER expressly states that he/she knows the conditions, understands them and that, consequently, he/she accepts their incorporation into the Contract, by signing it.

During this period, the HOLDER may cancel his/her electronic money account and Card immediately and without any cancellation cost.
If the new conditions are beneficial for the HOLDER, PECUNPAY may foresee their automatic application after their publication on the corporate website.

The PECUNPAY card, in its different modalities, physical or virtual, (hereinafter, "Card") is a MASTERCARD/VISA debit card, which allows the HOLDER to initiate payment orders to obtain goods and professional services in those physical establishments that accept MASTERCARD/VISA cards and also have a Point of Sale Terminal (POS) device.
Likewise, this card allows the HOLDER to make purchases through the internet, provided that the website accessed accepts this payment method, in which case, it will be subject to the conditions established therein.
Similarly, the Card will allow the performance of any other operations that PECUNPAY makes available to the HOLDER, with the HOLDER's prior express knowledge and agreement.
The card balance will not, under any circumstances, accrue interest or any other type of remuneration in favor of the HOLDER.
Geographical scope
For both the opening of the electronic money account and the issuance of the Card by PECUNPAY, the HOLDER must hold the status of resident of a country belonging to the European Economic Area (hereinafter, "EEA"), and the HOLDER may generally use it in any country both inside and outside the EEA. However, PECUNPAY may extend this geographical scope to non-resident citizens of the EEA provided they comply with the legal and regulatory compliance requirements established by Spanish and European legislation.
Likewise, it is informed that PECUNPAY may restrict, limit or block the use of the Card and associated services in certain countries or regions, in compliance with applicable regulations on international sanctions, prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing and the rest of applicable regulations, and/or for security reasons.

The Card will have a limited validity until the expiration date that appears on the Card itself.

Once the Card is requested by the HOLDER and the internal security checks are passed, the Card will be issued and sent to the HOLDER within an estimated period of up to 10 business days.
The renewed Card will be issued with a new card number, which will maintain the same relationship with the original account and, therefore, will maintain its conditions of use and available balance.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, PECUNPAY reserves the right to cancel or modify the expiration date of the cards during their validity period, as well as the power not to proceed with their renewal once the expiration date is reached. In such a case, the HOLDER will lose all rights related to the use of the Card, and PECUNPAY will notify him/her through express communication via the usual channels.
2.5. CARD LIMITS
For the use of the card by the HOLDER, he/she may set a limit on the amount, beyond which no funds may be withdrawn without his/her express authorization. Likewise, upon request of the HOLDER to PECUNPAY, limits may be set on the card's withdrawal for specific periods (days).
These limits may not be higher than the limits established by PECUNPAY at any given time.
The total maximum amount of transactions that can be made at any time will be determined by the amount available in the account, unless there are other more restrictive limits established by PECUNPAY for certain transactions for operational, control or security reasons. Likewise, the cash withdrawal limits established at ATMs will apply, the limits for transactions in stores, and similarly, cash withdrawals and deposits through the private network will be limited.
PECUNPAY reserves the right to block the use of a payment instrument and account for objectively justified reasons related to the security of the payment instrument, the suspicion of unauthorized or fraudulent use of the same. PECUNPAY will inform the HOLDER of the blocking of the payment instrument at the email address provided by the HOLDER to receive notifications. This communication will occur prior to the blocking and, if not possible, immediately after it, unless the communication of such information is compromised for objectively justified security reasons or is contrary to any other regulatory provision.
PECUNPAY will unblock the payment instrument or replace it with a new one, once the reasons for blocking its use have ceased to exist.
2.6. PAYMENT OPERATIONS
The use of the Account and the Card will be made in accordance with the usage instructions established by PECUNPAY in this Contract and on its own website, without prejudice to the power that PECUNPAY holds to modify such usage instructions, in accordance with the stipulations in Clause 1.5.

The information regarding the terms and conditions applicable to payment services and operations will be free of charge for the HOLDER and will be accessible to him/her through the client area made available to him/her.
However, any type of additional or different information, requested by the HOLDER, will generate an expense that will be settled to him/her according to PECUNPAY's tariffs. Likewise, PECUNPAY may also pass on to the HOLDER the expenses caused by the termination of the Contract, by the revocation of payment orders and those derived from the recovery of funds for payment operations executed with an incorrect unique identifier that in each case are foreseen in PECUNPAY's tariffs.
The HOLDER expressly authorizes PECUNPAY to record in the payment account the transactions carried out by the HOLDER.
Regarding transactions made with the card, the validity of the withdrawal made will be presumed according to the invoice, POS receipt, electronic registration terminals and/or transaction authorization, reading of its magnetic stripe or electronic chip or any other means of identification established in the card's conditions of use, even when the presentation of his/her national identity document, Personal Identification Number or signature is not required. The same consequences will be applicable for the case of non-face-to-face sales (Internet).
The effective use of the card will be presumed by the mere registration of the transaction in PECUNPAY's computer files.
2.6.1. Consent and withdrawal of consent
Payment operations will be considered authorized when the HOLDER has given consent for their execution. It will be understood that the HOLDER has consented to the operation when it has been carried out through any of the channels provided by PECUNPAY, among which are; any use of his/her card, card number or PIN, without restrictive character.
All those that are duly authorized by the HOLDER of the account or are charged to him/her will be accepted as debits to the account.

The HOLDER's account will not be debited before the reception of the payment order.
If the HOLDER and PECUNPAY agree that the execution of the payment order begins on a specific date or at the end of a determined period, or on the day when the HOLDER has made funds available to PECUNPAY, the moment of reception will be considered the agreed day. If this day is not a business day for PECUNPAY, the payment order will be considered received on the following business day.
Regarding payment orders initiated through the card, PECUNPAY will receive the payment order on the same day they are made by its HOLDER, they will be executed immediately from the moment of their reception. However, in certain establishments (e.g., highways, parking meters, etc.), the executed payment orders may be debited in the account associated with the card after the date of their execution.
2.6.3. Transmission of the full amount of the operation
PECUNPAY will credit the HOLDER's account with the full amount of the operation received in his/her favor. However, PECUNPAY may deduct its expenses from the transferred amount before its credit in the Account.

For these purposes:
a) The HOLDER's Unique Identifier for the identification of his/her account will be the IBAN (International Bank Account Number);
b) The HOLDER's Unique Identifier for the identification of his/her card will be the card numbering (PAN).
When a payment order is executed according to the unique identifier, it will be considered correctly executed in relation to the beneficiary specified in said identifier.

The HOLDER will be responsible for the breach of said regulations, and no liability can be attributed to PECUNPAY.

2.13. STRONG CUSTOMER AUTHENTICATION (SCA)
2.13.1 Authentication requirements
In accordance with the provisions of Directive (EU) 2015/2366 on payment services (PSD2) and Delegated Regulation (EU) 2018/389, PECUNPAY implements Strong Customer Authentication mechanisms (hereinafter, "SCA") to guarantee security in accessing the electronic money account and in the execution of payment operations with the Card and/or electronic money account.
2.13.2. Definitions
For the purposes of this clause, the following is understood by:
- Strong Customer Authentication (SCA): authentication process that requires at least two elements from among the following factors:
- Knowledge: something only the HOLDER knows (e.g., password or PIN).
- Possession: something only the HOLDER possesses (e.g., a registered mobile device, security token, or one-time code –OTP–).
- Inherence: something that is inherent to the HOLDER (e.g., fingerprint or facial recognition).
The factors must be independent of each other and designed to protect the confidentiality of the process.
- Sensitive data: any information that, if compromised, could jeopardize the security of the account or payment means, including: CVV, PIN, access credentials, email, telephone number, card number, among others.
2.13.3. Authentication factors
The verification of the HOLDER's identity through the SCA system is based on the combination of at least two of the following factors, as indicated:
- Knowledge: something only the HOLDER knows (e.g. password or PIN).
- Possession: something only the HOLDER possesses (e.g. registered mobile device, security token, or OTP code).
- Inherence: something that is inherent to the HOLDER (e.g. fingerprint or facial recognition).
PECUNPAY will never request by email, telephone or other means any of the mentioned authentication factors. The HOLDER must ignore and report any suspicious communication requesting this type of information.
2.13.4 Protection of Sensitive Data
The following, among others, are considered sensitive data of the HOLDER:
- CVV.
- Expiration Date of the payment elements (cards and similar)
- PIN of the payment elements.
- Passwords and access credentials.
- Terminals and digital elements where the app or apk is installed
- OTP codes or one-time use passwords.
- Email.
- Mobile phone number.
PECUNPAY will store said data in encrypted form and only for the time strictly necessary for the provision of the service. The PECUNPAY application uses secure communication channels (SSL/TLS) that guarantee the integrity and confidentiality of the transmitted data.
2.14. PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (PIN)
With the issuance of the Card, PECUNPAY will provide a Personal Identification Number (PIN), which the HOLDER, where applicable, can modify and which will be required in any use of the card by the provider of the good or service, in order to prove that he/she is its legitimate HOLDER.
Said PIN will be requested by the HOLDER through the PECUNPAY website, in the "client area" section or through the Mobile Application, corresponding to each product.
In the event that operations can be performed without typing the PIN (for example, in contactless transactions), it will be with certain limits that PECUNPAY will determine at all times. In these operations, the approximation of the Card to ATMs, POS or other collection equipment will be understood as authorization and confirmation of the operation by the HOLDER. The registration of the operation in said equipment will serve as proof of the performance of the operation, unless technical failures or incidents have occurred. PECUNPAY is not responsible for incidents that may occur with merchants. Thus, PECUNPAY will not be responsible for charges made by third parties if you have breached your obligation to diligently safeguard the Card or any other physical element in which your Payment Card is housed. The numbers (PIN) are non-transferable personal identification systems that must be for your exclusive knowledge as the HOLDER and must be kept under your control. The HOLDER has the obligation to diligently safeguard the mobile phone for this purpose and to report, where applicable, the loss or theft of the mobile device to PECUNPAY.
PECUNPAY uses card security systems for its use as a means of payment through the Internet.
PECUNPAY reserves the right not to allow the use of cards through the Internet or equivalent channels that require analogous security measures when said cards have not been properly secured. As the Card HOLDER, you may have, with the same effects as the withdrawals made through the Card, Digital Wallets or Wallets that will be used as a means of payment. PECUNPAY will apply strong authentication through the use of at least two authentication factors, as established by the current payment services regulations.

2.17. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
PECUNPAY will be exempt from liability regarding those operations that, even being against the will of the payer, have been carried out as a result of an order received by PECUNPAY for whose authentication the established security requirements have been met.
The use of the PIN by a person other than the HOLDER presupposes gross negligence or, where applicable, fraud on his/her part.
PECUNPAY, without prejudice to adopting the measures it deems appropriate, is exempt from liability in case of lack of attention to its Card by any of the merchants, banks and savings banks committed to the sale of goods or provision of services, or due to technical or operational incidents in ATMs.
PECUNPAY will also remain unrelated to the incidents and responsibilities that may derive from the operation carried out between the establishment and the Card HOLDER.
PECUNPAY excludes, from its scope of application, the Visa Global Zero Liability Policy, submitting to the current European regulations on the matter.
In case of unauthorized payment operations, the HOLDER's liability regime, regulated in article 46 of Royal Decree-law 19/2018, of November 23, on payment services and other urgent financial measures, will apply.

In those cases where the HOLDER contracts the product or service through a Pecunpay Client, said Client may initiate automatic debits in its favor on the HOLDER's account, according to the contracted offer and as contractually agreed between Pecunpay and the corresponding Client.
These debits may be recurring, for a specific amount and executed automatically.
PECUNPAY will only execute said debits when there is express, valid and current consent from the HOLDER granted through the Client, in the terms authorized and verifiable by this Entity. Likewise, the Client will be responsible for ensuring that said consent has been correctly obtained and remains in force throughout the contractual relationship.
2.19. REFUND OF STORED FUNDS
PECUNPAY will refund, at any time, exclusively at the request of the HOLDER, the monetary value stored in his/her Account. In any case, the HOLDER must send PECUNPAY a refund request together with the original of the card through the channels enabled for this purpose.
The electronic money, by default, will be refunded by bank transfer to the account provided by the HOLDER for this purpose. Likewise, and at the HOLDER's choice, it may be refunded by issuing a new electronic money card, in accordance with the commission tariff approved by PECUNPAY, in the name of the HOLDER. In both cases, the HOLDER will assume the expenses generated as a consequence of the refund and the accrued commissions.
2.20. STATEMENT AND TRANSACTION INQUIRY
