As an E-Money Institution DiPocket can receive and hold customer funds and process payments upon a User’s request. In case of DiPocket UAB, it holds customer funds in segregated accounts held with banks operating in the EEA and with the Bank of Lithuania. In case of DiPocket Limited, it holds customer funds in segregated accounts held with banks operating in the UK. It means that customer funds are segregated from DiPocket’s own funds. However, funds entrusted to us are not covered by the Lithuanian deposit insurance scheme www.iidraudimas.lt/en/ in case of DiPocket UAB, or the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) www.fscs.org.uk in the case of DiPocket Limited.
Notwithstanding the above, please note that under this Agreement DiPocket does not issue electronic money to you, does not open you an E-Money account, nor does it store your funds or engages in any similar activity. Under this Agreement, DiPocket only issues the Card and provides the Services to you as a beneficiary (“Beneficiary”). The Card only has spending limits pursuant to the arrangements you have in place with the Partner, but no funds or E-Money are being stored on the Card or your Account opened with DiPocket.
DiPocket is a Principal Member of Mastercard® Inc.
The language of communication with reference to the Agreement and the Services is English or Lithuanian, the choice of which will be yours.
If the Agreement is concluded with DiPocket UAB, it is governed by Lithuanian law; if the Agreement is concluded with DiPocket Limited, it is governed by English law (and the same law will apply to establishing our relationship). Any legal terms implied by law will also apply to the Agreement. Rights and duties related to the provision of Services that are not discussed under this Agreement shall be regulated by the Law on Payments of the Republic of Lithuania for DiPocket UAB`s Beneficiaries, and by the respective laws of England and Wales for DiPocket Limited`s Beneficiaries. Any dispute arising out of the Agreement between you and DiPocket (the “Parties”), which we are unable to resolve to the Parties’ joint satisfaction through our complaint procedure, shall be settled by the Courts of the Republic of Lithuania or England and Wales respectively.
Scope of DiPocket services
The scope of Services provided to you by DiPocket is limited to Card issuing and its role is ancillary to the provisions of Services by the Partner, the usage of which is governed by separate terms and conditions which you must agree with. If you are reading this Agreement, this means that you have decided to use the Services provided by the Partner.
Registering as a user you do not become a customer of DiPocket (a “Customer”) but a Beneficiary and your Card and the Funds available on it remain the property of EXCELON. To register as a User and open the account with EXCELON (the “Account”) you must be aged at least 18 and be an EEA or UK citizen or resident.
If you are under 18 (the exact age from which you are able to register and open an account shall be determined in accordance with the law of your country of residence), registering under the responsibility of a legal Supervisor – such as a parent or a legal guardian – may also enable you to register as a User, when this option is available to you during the registration process.
The Supervisor must explicitly confirm their acceptance of the Supervisor role and agree to monitor the Account to ensure that the supervised user (the “Supervised User”) is complying with its obligations under the Agreement. The Supervisor must agree to the terms and conditions applicable to supervision and must guarantee the Supervised User’s obligations under the Agreement as part of the role confirmation process. By accepting the terms and conditions applicable to supervision, the Supervisor expressly confirms and agrees to be liable for the actions of the Supervised User to the extent permitted by law and agrees that we may rely on the direct liability of the Supervisor for the use of the Card and associated Accounts by the Supervised User even if the use was in contravention of the Supervisor’s instructions. If the Supervised User orders a Card, the Card will be deemed to have been ordered on request of the Supervisor. In addition, the Supervisor expressly confirms its consent for us to collect, process, and store the Supervised User’s Information. If the Supervisor does not accept such terms and/or guarantee they will not be confirmed as a Supervisor and the Supervised User’s Account will not be activated. There can only be one Supervisor per User aged under 18 at any point in time, but a Supervisor can supervise several Supervised Users. We may accept as Supervisors users who are not EEA residents. We take no responsibility for the use or misuse of the Card by Supervised Users and it is the responsibility of the Supervisor to monitor and prevent inappropriate or illegal use.
We offer Full Registration – provided we receive suitable and verifiable evidence of your identity, you will be able to use the full functionality and limit of the Card and Account.
If you received or requested the Card from a third party provider to whom you have provided the information required to register as a User, and the consent to share such information with us, you may be already registered upon receiving the Card. By setting up the Personalised Security Features (defined below) and using the Card, you confirm your intent to register as a User and your agreement with the terms of the Agreement.
By law, we must check your identity prior to registering you as a User and we do this based on the information you provide to us during the registration process.
If we are unable to confirm your identity and/or any relevant registration information based on the information provided, we are entitled to ask for any further evidence of your identity and to ask you to hold a short live phone interaction with our operators and/or carry out such further checks as it deems necessary to establish your identity. If we are unable to do this, we may refuse to serve you or enable the extra functionality reserved to registered Users and/or inform the appropriate authorities without your knowledge or consent. We will register you only if the results of the KYC process allow us to on-board you as a User.

Your mobile number is also used by other Users within DiPocket’s systems to transfer or request funds to/from you.
When we include links to other websites, please bear in mind they will have their own privacy and cookies policies that will govern the use of any information you submit. We recommend you read their policies before accessing their sites.
The Services may include some of all the below payment services:
· Cash withdrawals;
· Card payments and money transfers;
· Issuing of payment cards (Mastercard);
· Payment initiation services;
· Account information services.
The User shall be free to decide which of the available Services to use (all or only part of them). Terms and conditions specifying the provision of payment initiation and account information services will be made available to you before each transaction. Account information and payment initiation services will be provided to you only under your explicit consent.
If you register as a User, subject to eligibility for the Card type you hold we offer several options to top-up the Account and Card, which may include transfers from cards issued to you by other banks (we may request proof of ownership), bank transfers in selected currencies and cash deposits in selected locations. We will also offer you payment initiation services as an option to initiate bank transfers for top-up purposes. For details please consult the applicable Limits Table available on the Website or provided to you with the Card.
In all cases funds will be credited to the Account (and will be accessible through the Card) in the amount equal to the amount transferred/deposited, net of applicable fees as specified in the Card Terms and Conditions.
Before crediting funds to the Account, if we suspect fraudulent activity, we may ask you to provide evidence of the reason for the payment. Should you be unable or unwilling to provide satisfactory answers, we reserve the right to return the funds to the sender.
We endeavour to load the Account as soon as we are aware that money has been transferred to it. We will credit transfers from another card executed via our systems instantaneously, and incoming bank transfers and cash deposits as soon as we can and not later than on end of the day we receive it on your behalf, if it is a business day, or in the morning of the next day if we receive the money during a business day, i.e., Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday (the “Business Day”).
To receive bank transfers, if this functionality is available to you within our systems, you will be assigned one or more (depending on the currencies you use) IBANs or other unique account numbers, which you will need to provide for an interbank payment order to be properly initiated or executed and be credited to the Account with us.
Depending on the type of Account you are using, you may be able to receive payments from other Users. These payments will be credited immediately if you have previously accepted a payment from the same sender, otherwise will be available to you immediately after your acceptance. If you do not accept a payment within 7 days from receiving it, the money will be sent back to the sender.
If you do not hold a Sub-account in the currency of the payment, we will wait for your instructions to convert the funds to a currency you hold a Sub-account in or to open a Sub-account for you in that currency (if we offer such currency and functionality for the Account).
Cash deposits may be available in certain countries and currencies. You should inquire about the availability of cash deposits with our Customer Service team if you are interested in using such service. For the avoidance of doubt, you will not be able to pay cheques to the Account.
Sometimes a payment may be recalled by the bank that made it (for example, because it was fraudulent), and sometimes a payment goes into the Account by mistake. This happens rarely, but please tell us straight away if money appears unexpectedly on the Account.
To make things right, we can take the payment back out of the Account – even if we have allowed you to make a payment or to take cash out against it.
Should you initiate any card scheme mechanism to recover money used to fund the Account with cards issued to you by other banks, we reserve the right to investigate the matter and, where appropriate, challenge any recovery attempt. We are entitled to share such information with the card scheme about you, the Account and any payment transactions as we consider appropriate for challenging the claim.
The Card is a Mastercard® debit card. It is valid until its expiry date, which is visible on the front of the Card – or on the Card image accessible online for virtual cards and payment bands.
To activate plastic cards please follow the instructions provided with the Card. Also, you must:
· not allow anyone else to use the Card;
· not reveal your PIN or the Code;
· not write down your PIN, unless you do this in a way that would make it impossible for anyone else to recognize it;
· delete the PIN from your mobile phone when you receive it;
· only release the Card, card number, PIN or the Code to make (or try to make) a transaction with a merchant or ATM displaying the Mastercard® Acceptance Mark.
You can use it at all locations that display the Mastercard Acceptance Mark: for purchases in physical stores – including contactless, and at automated teller machines (“ATM”) for cash withdrawals as well as for online and telephone purchases. You can also enrol it in Apple Pay and Google Pay. It allows you to receive cash-back when making purchases in physical stores, however it cannot be used for other cash transactions such as withdrawing cash from a bank and purchasing traveller’s cheques or foreign exchange from a bureau de change. Limits and fees apply.
The Card is automatically registered for Mastercard Identity Check, to enhance security. When using the Card for online purchases, you may be required to enter on the merchant site a code (the “Code”) that will be sent to your mobile phone number or to authorise a transaction via the App.
In so far as this is not a result of our negligence, we will not be responsible nor liable for a retailer’s failure to or delay in accepting the Card nor for an ATM failing to issue cash. In these circumstances, we will not be liable for the way in which you are told about any refusal or delay.
All transactions require authorisation. Authorisation is also your instruction for us to carry out a transaction. We will not normally authorise a transaction if the balance on the Card is insufficient to cover the transaction and any related transaction fee. If, for any reason whatsoever, you are able to make a transaction when there are insufficient funds on the Card (the “Shortfall”), we will seek reimbursement of the Shortfall from you immediately. You may ask us to provide you with information about transactions for up to 5 years from the date of the transaction.
For a contactless transaction:
(a) below the limit applicable in the country where you are using the Card (“Contactless Limit”), which is outside the control of DiPocket, a transaction is deemed authorized upon transmission of the details of the Card that are required to execute the transaction, by placing the Card in the proximity of the device that allows for reading the data saved in the Card contactless module; and
(b) In excess of the Contactless Limit, the transaction is deemed authorized by entry of the PIN number on the acceptance terminal. Please note that in certain countries contactless transactions with PIN are not available.
In so far as this is not a result of our negligence, we are not obligated to authorise a transaction where a system problem occurs or events outside our reasonable control arise. In addition to that we are not obligated to authorise a transaction where we are concerned about misuse of the Card. We shall not be liable to you when a transaction is not authorised in these circumstances and/or if we cancel or suspend use of the Card.
If the Card is lost or stolen, or someone else finds out the PIN, or if you think the Card, card number, or PIN may be misused, you must:
· block the Card immediately calling us on +370 5 2084858 or +44 203 807 2000 (we have a 24-hour service) so that we can block the Card;
· stop using the Card, card number or PIN immediately.
We will block or restrict the Card or PIN on justified grounds relating to:
· the security of the Card, card number or PIN. For example: when the wrong PIN is entered several times in a row;
· the suspected unauthorised or fraudulent use of the Card or PIN. For example: where we detect that another person uses the Card, we consider activity suspicious or abnormal, etc. We will, if possible, inform you before blocking, or restricting the Card or PIN that we intend to do so and the reasons for doing this. If we are unable to do so, then we will inform you immediately afterwards. The requirement to inform you does not apply where it would compromise reasonable security measures, or it would be unlawful to do so;
· AML transfer verification checks. In line with the mandatory requirements for the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing, we have implemented an automatic account blocking system where algorithms check all transactions and block transfers (accounts) which our system considers suspicious (automatically). Upon receiving a system report of suspicious activity, our compliance team performs a manual check, during which our specialists thoroughly evaluate the automatically detected suspicious activity. At this stage, you may be asked to provide additional documents or explanations. The account is unblocked when the validity of the transfer is verified. In case the collected information does not dispel doubts about the validity of the transfer, we may close the account;
· situations where it is not possible for the supplier to obtain online authorisation to confirm that you have sufficient balance for the transaction. For example: transactions on certain trains, ships, and some in-flight purchases, and
· purchases at service stations when the merchant verifies your PIN with us without providing the final amount of your purchase.
A Card transaction will be regarded as authorised by you when you authorise the transaction by following the instructions provided by the merchant, retailer or ATM, which may include:
· entering your PIN or providing the Code;
· providing the Card details and/or any other details as requested;
· waving or swiping the Card over a card reader for the purpose of making a payment.
When we suspect there may be an attempt to use the Card fraudulently, we may ask you to confirm a transaction prior to or after authorising it.
Authorisation for a transaction may not be withdrawn or revoked by you.
(a) the amount of the transaction was not determined precisely when it was being authorized; and
(b) the amount of the transaction is higher than the amount you could expect, taking account of the type and value of previous transactions, provisions of the Agreement and any significant circumstances of the case.
You may request such refund within 8 weeks from the date of the transaction.
If you make a payment with the Card in a currency different from the currency of the Card, the amounts will be converted by Mastercard on the date they process the transaction, using the exchange rate they use for all such currency conversions. This means the rate of exchange may differ from the rate on the date you made the card payment, if the payment is processed by the card scheme after that date. The foreign exchange rate used by Mastercard can be found on www.mastercard.co.uk/en-gb/consumers/get-support/convert-currency.html. We also charge a fee based on the payment amount, as shown in the Tariff Table.
Card terminals may offer you the option of seeing the payment amount or withdrawal in the currency of the Card or in a currency other than the cash withdrawal or purchase currency and allow you to choose to pay that amount in that currency. The exchange rate used for this will generally be provided by the operator of the terminal or ATM, so it won’t be under our control and won’t be covered by our Tariff Table. Please check the exchange rate at the ATM, the terminal or with the respective operator before authorizing the transaction.
As soon as practical after you make a Card transaction in foreign currency we will display as part of the transaction information we provide in the App or the Website, details of the amount of the conversion to the currency of the Card and how the exchange rate applied by us compares to reference rates published by the European Central Bank.
You may only use the DiPocket account to make purchases of goods and services, and to receive and send funds in accordance with applicable legislation and this Agreement.
If we have reasonable cause to believe that you have violated the requirements of this Agreement or applicable legislation, DiPocket may take measures to protect itself, its customers and Users or third parties. In this case, DiPocket may, amongst other things, do the following:
· restrict, suspend or close access to the DiPocket Account or to any of its services;
· notify users who have mutual settlements with you, their bank, their issuer or law enforcement authorities;
· require you to update any incorrect or incomplete information that you have provided;
· cancel the Services (in which case we will give you notice in accordance with these terms).
You must keep safe at all time the Card details – including PAN (the 16 digits number displayed on the front of the Card), expiry date, CVV (the 3 digits number, displayed on the back of the Card), PIN (Personal Identification Number), and any passwords and devices you use to access security details of the Card and/or Account by any method (together the “Personalised Security Features”). This also includes any Card details in e-wallets, on retailer’s websites, or on devices such as mobile phones. If you have registered a Card on a device or within an e-wallet this will include passwords and security processes used to access your device or e-wallet (device ID, passcodes, or passwords) and any fingerprints or other biometric or identification methods stored in your device. Please note that not all Personalized Security Features may be applicable to the Card.
We will never contact you to request any of your Personalised Security Features and we will not ask anyone else to do so on our behalf. If you receive such a request, it is likely to be fraudulent and you must not supply any of your Personalised Security Features in any circumstances. You should report any such activity to us immediately. Treat emails received from senders claiming to be us with caution and be wary of emails asking you for any Personalised Security Features.
When you call us we may need to identify you, depending on the nature of your query. We may do this by asking for certain information (such as answers to questions) known only to you and requesting random digits of certain passcodes or passwords, but we would never ask you for a full PIN or passcode. You must not give these to anyone who asks for them, even if that person appears to be an official.
You are responsible for the quality, safety, legality or any other aspect of any goods or services that you buy with the Card. Any disputes about purchases or payments made with the Card must be settled with the goods or service provider concerned.
If you become aware of the loss, theft or misappropriation of the Card or of its unauthorized use, call us straight away on +370 5 2084858 or +44 203 807 2000.
To view the available balance and transaction history please visit the EXCELON Website or use the EXCELON App, if available. By accepting the General Terms and Conditions you specifically agree not to receive paper statements.
Upon your request DiPocket will provide additional statements and/or transaction records, on paper or otherwise. You may ask us to provide you with information about transactions for up to 5 years from the date of the transaction, even after termination of the Agreement, and we will provide it to you free of charge in electronic form, as well as paper form if you so wish. Fees may apply in case you ask us for information more often than twice a month, however, only to the extent of our incurred costs.
You must pay all relevant fees for the Services. The applicable fees are established in the Tariff Table which is available on the Website.
Fees and other amounts payable by you shall be debited to the Account, unless otherwise specified in the Tariff Table.
If there are no funds on the Account or if the funds are insufficient to cover the fees, other claims and the debts arising from the Agreement, we are entitled to suspend provision of the Services to you until such fees and indebtedness are covered. Notwithstanding the above, we will only charge applicable monthly fees until there is a positive balance on the Account and we will not charge uncollected monthly fees retroactively.
We shall notify you of changes of the fees in the Tariff Table with 60 days’ prior notice, following the same procedure as provided in section “Changes to the Agreement” below.
We may recover from you taxes imposed upon us by any competent Authority in relation to the provision of the Services to you – in particular taxes on payment transactions and/or account balances, if and when applicable.
Upon receipt of funds to the Account, we shall issue electronic money at nominal value. You may ask us to transfer back the sums belonging to you and held on the Account (the “Funds”) at any time during the validity term of this Agreement and up to 6 years after closing the Account. The Funds will be transferred to the bank account indicated by you on the same Business Day. For the first 12 months after closing the account, there is no cost to you for transferring the Funds back if your bank account is in the Account currency and is held in the country where such currency is legal tender, within the SEPA region. After 12 months from closing the Account, or in case an international bank transfer is required, fees may apply, as indicated in the Tariff Table. The aforementioned rule on transferring back the Funds applies to the redemption of electronic money at their nominal value issued to you by DiPocket.
If you suffer loss because of an unauthorised transaction occurring as a result of:
· the use of a lost or stolen Card; or
· where you have failed to keep safe the Personalised Security Features and,
· you failed to tell us about the loss of the Card or compromising of your Security Details,
the most you will have to pay is EUR 50 or GBP 35 respectively, for each instance of loss, theft or misappropriation, converted to Card or Account currency using the average Bank of Lithuania for UAB`s Beneficiaries or Bank of England for Limited`s Beneficiaries exchange rate on the day of the conversion if the Card is not issued in EUR or GBP respectively.
Where you have either deliberately or with gross negligence:
· failed to keep your Security Details safe, or
· failed to tell us as soon as possible that you have lost the Card (especially if you think someone else might have been able to find it),
the above limitation of liability to EUR 50 or GBP 35 respectively, will not apply to any loss incurred prior to notifying us of the issue.
If we can show that you have acted fraudulently in incurring a loss as a result of an unauthorised transaction, you may not benefit from any of the liability limitations set out above.
You have 13 months to notify us of an unauthorised, non-executed or incorrectly executed transaction. Provided you notify us within this timeframe and the payment was unauthorised, non-executed or incorrectly executed, we will immediately, as appropriate and in accordance with our regulatory obligations, refund the amount of the transaction to the Account. In case of errors or disputes about transactions, contact us via dipocket.org/en/contact or call us straight away on +370 5 208 4858 or +44 203 807 2000.
If the Card is used without your permission, or is lost, stolen or if you think the Account may have been misused, we may ask you to write us within seven days to confirm the loss, theft or possible misuse at the Address. We may disclose to law enforcement agencies any information which we reasonably believe may be relevant.
If you believe you have been tricked into transferring money to the account of someone you don’t know or have transferred money in good faith from the Account but have not received the goods or services contracted for (the “Authorised Push Payment scams”), you can contact us and we will investigate for you and try to recover the money, however, we will bear no liability save that which may be imposed upon us by applicable laws and regulations at the time of the Authorised Push Payment scam.
Within the limits permitted under the applicable laws, and subject to the limitations defined in this Agreement, we are liable for due performance of our obligations set out in this Agreement.
You cannot claim a loss or damage from us if:
· you are claiming for loss of business, loss of goodwill, loss of opportunity or loss of profit – we will not be liable for these in any circumstances;
· you have acted fraudulently or with gross negligence;
· you are in breach of the Agreement, or provided DiPocket with any incorrect information if there is a clear causal link with the damage;
· our failure was due to abnormal and unforeseeable circumstances outside our control, which meant we couldn’t follow our obligations under the Agreement despite our best efforts to do so, for example, a hardware breakdown, strike, or a major problem with a payment system;
· you are claiming for consequential loss which is not reasonably foreseeable as a result of our breach of the Agreement.
None of these exceptions will apply, and nothing else in the Agreement will stop us being liable, if:
· we act fraudulently;
· we act with gross negligence; or
· we are at fault and the law does not allow us to exclude or limit liability.
We can change the Agreement in the circumstances listed below.
Provided we give you 60 days’ notice, we can change any part of the Agreement, only to the extent necessary, if at least one of the below material circumstances occurs:
· a change of our commitment to the creation of reserves or the enactment of allowances not provided for in the legislation at the date of conclusion of the Agreement;
· fees or taxes or other costs are imposed, that were not provided for in the legislation at the date of conclusion of the Agreement;
· a change in the legal provisions governing the financial sector or a change of recommendations or good practices by supervising institutions or of provisions connected with the financial sector, which impact the mutual rights and obligations of the parties to the Agreement that were not in force at the date of conclusion of the Agreement;
· the introduction of new services or removal or change of features of the existing Services as well as introduction or change of the trade name of such Services (in the case of a change of the scope or manner of providing the Services consisting in changing the features of the existing Services or the introduction of new products, the user will not be obliged to use such services and incur the associated costs unless the user submits a separate declaration of will in this respect);
save that the amendment of the Agreement will be effected solely within the scope and direction arising from the reason that has occurred and no later than within 1 month from the occurrence of a prerequisite for such change.
If you are not happy with the change, you can either:
· take the steps set out below to cancel the Card and end the Agreement with an immediate effect and without any charges, or
· let us know that you are not happy with the change and would like to cancel the Card and end the Agreement without any charges, so that the Agreement will cease on the day before the date on which the changes take effect.
If you do not end the Agreement by taking the steps above, you will be deemed to have accepted the changes after the end of the 60 days’ notice.
DiPocket may assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement to an associated company at any time, provided we give you not less than one month’s notice and without requiring your specific consent. If you object to the assignment, you can cancel the Card and end the Agreement without any charges, so that the Agreement will cease on the day before the date of assignment. You may not assign your rights or obligations under this Agreement.
The Agreement expires on the Card expiry date unless, prior to expiry, we issue a replacement Card in accordance with our Card reissue policy as specified in the Card Terms and Conditions, provided however that we may send you a replacement card prior to the Card expiry date free of charge and with no obligation for you to continue to use the Services.
Whilst a Card remains unexpired or for Accounts without Cards, the Agreement will be of indefinite duration and will continue unless terminated at any time by you, or by us in accordance with the processes set out below.
Unless the Card Terms and Conditions specify otherwise, if we do not send you a replacement card prior to the Card expiry date the Card expiry will result in termination of the Agreement, after which access to the Account may be limited and the remaining funds will only be available for redemption.
If you wish to, you can cancel the Services at any time.
In addition, as a consumer, you have a period of 14 days from the date you have concluded the Agreement to tell us that you would like to withdraw from it, without giving any reason, and without incurring any charges or fees other than for the Services commenced upon your request or Services already provided. If you withdraw from the Agreement, the Agreement is considered not concluded, and all the Funds will be returned to you within 10 days from such withdrawal.
You must nominate a bank account to which any Funds should be transferred. There is no cost to you for cancelling the Services nor for redeeming the Funds in the Account currency. If you ask us to transfer funds in a currency other than the Account currency, a fee may be applicable (for currency exchange and bank transfer), but we will always show you applicable fees prior to confirming the transfer, and in any case, we will not charge more than EUR 20 or GBP 15 respectively, as bank transfer fee.
If we receive funds on the Account after you have cancelled the Services, we’ll try to send it back if we have the information we need to do so.
We may end the Agreement immediately (and cancel the Card) if we have reasonable grounds for thinking that you have done any of the following things, which you must not do:
· you put us in a position where we might break a law, regulation, or other duty that applies to us if we maintain the Card and Account;
· you refuse to cooperate with DiPocket’s legitimate requests, e.g., by not providing information to confirm your identity or on the source of funds;
· you give us any false information or attempt to mislead us at any time;
· you commit (or attempt) fraud against us or someone else;
· you use (or allow someone else to use) the Card or Account illegally or for criminal activity (including receiving proceeds of crime on the Card);
· you inappropriately let someone else use the Card or Account.
In case of termination under the above clause, you agree that we are not required to disclose the exact reason of termination.
We can also end the Agreement immediately and cancel the Services if:
· we reasonably believe that maintaining the Services might expose us (or another DiPocket Group company) to action or censure from any government, regulator or law enforcement agency;
· we find out that you are no longer eligible for it (for example, through residence status). We will try to tell you in advance if this happens, but if by continuing to offer you the Services we would break any rules or laws, we will have to cancel it or block it immediately;
· if there are no transactions (other than fee charges) on the Account for a continuous period of 12 months.
In case you hold Funds with us at the time of termination, we will seek to return the Funds to an account indicated by you in accordance with the rules described in the section ‘Redemption of funds’ above. Should we be unable to return the Funds, for instance because we are unable to reach you using the contact details you provided to us, we will continue to safeguard the Funds within the legally prescribed timeframe, during which your rights of E-Money redemption will remain unaffected.
