6.1.3.6.1.7. Wallester may establish a Fee for the currency conversion in the Price List (incl. exchange rates and/or per Transaction Fee etc.). Even if Wallester has not established a currency conversion Fee in the Price List but the banks where Wallester’s accounts with the Client’s funds are located charge currency conversion or other transaction fees regarding the Transaction performed by the Client, the respective amounts are deducted from the sums transferred by the Client. Information regarding those fees can be requested from the Wallester’s customer support.

6.1.4.6.1.7. The payment is initiated by the Client in the Wallester System by using the phone number or other unique identification data of the recipient, as specified in the Wallester System

6.2.3.6.2.6. To use the Digital Wallet Service, the Client must enter into a contractual relationship with the provider of the specific Digital Wallet Service. Wallester is not a party of that contractual relationship and cannot resolve possible disputes between the Client and the provider of the Digital Wallet Service. The provider of the specific Digital Wallet Service may require payment of Fees to use the Digital Wallet Service.

6.2.4.6.2.6. Unless explicit exceptions are provided, this Agreement applies to the Operations performed with the Card regardless of whether an Operation is performed with the Card directly or via the Digital Wallet Service.

7. Fees and arrears

7.1.7.8. Unless it is explicitly stated by Wallester that a Service is provided for free, it is presumed that Services are provided to the Client for a Fee. The Fees for the Services and the Service bundles are provided in the Price List, which is published on the Wallester Website and in the Wallester System.

7.2.7.8. If the Parties agree that Wallester provides Services that are not in the Price List or performs other actions that benefit the Client, the Fee is agreed by the Parties separately. If no Fee is agreed beforehand, Wallester is entitled to request payment of Fee which is common for such services.

7.3.7.8. In case Wallester exchanges the Client’s funds to another currency in accordance with the Agreement and no Fee is provided for that transaction in the Price List, the exchange is performed by the bank where Wallester deposits the Clients’ funds and with then applicable exchange rate of the bank. Wallester does not apply additional Fee to such transactions. The Client sees the exchange rate in the account statement.

7.4.7.8. The Fees are deducted from the funds in the Client’s Account unless a different payment setup is provided in accordance with the Agreement. If a different payment setup has been provided but the Client has not fulfilled its obligations in due time, Wallester may deduct the unpaid fees from the funds in the Client’s Account.

7.5.7.8. If the Client has several currencies on the Accounts, the funds in the same currency are used first and if these are not sufficient, the Fee is deducted from the funds in other currencies, in which case Wallester has the right to convert the deducted funds to the same currency as the unpaid Fee. If there are not enough funds on the Client’s Account to pay the Fee, the unpaid part is deducted from the funds that the Client deposits to the Account later.

7.6.7.8. Wallester may decline to provide the Service if there are not enough funds on the Client’s account to pay the Fee for the requested Service.

8.3.2.8.3.3. Based on the circumstances of the specific event that causes the blocking and the information available to Wallester at the time, Wallester decides the extent and duration of the blocking. The Parties understand that the information available to Wallester at the time of making this decision may not be complete and based on additional information that becomes available later, Wallester may revise the decision. Regardless of this, if Wallester made the initial decision in good faith and with due care, Wallester has acted in compliance with the Agreement.

8.3.3.8.3.3. If Wallester has fully blocked the Service due to act or omission attributable to the Client, Wallester may request payment of special Account maintenance fee for the duration when the full blocking remains in force for the purpose of covering the expenses that occur to Wallester in connection with preserving the closed Account and the sums in the Account. This includes situations where Wallester has requested information and/or documents from the Client in accordance with the Agreement but the Client has not fulfilled the request by the set deadline.

8.48.6. Grounds for blocking

In case of a seizure, a third party (e.g., court, bailiff, or tax authority) in accordance with the law provides mandatory instructions to Wallester regarding how the blocking of the Client’s Account or Services shall be performed. In such a case, Wallester has no authority over the extent, duration, and other terms of the blocking.

8.5.2.8.5.2. When blocking due to seizure, Wallester verifies the extent of the blocking from the appropriate document presented to Wallester by the seizing authority (e.g., decision, order, injunction, enforceable court judgement). Wallester applies only the blocking measures which are mandatory in accordance with the presented document.

8.6.8.6. Follow-up actions

9.3.9.4. In the event of extraordinary circumstances, Wallester has the right to carry out unplanned maintenance work to prevent damage to the Client, Wallester or third parties. In such a situation it may not be possible to take the Service usage volume into account in connection with scheduling nor to provide prior notice to the Client.

10.3.10.4. If the Client does not provide the information, documents, or permissions that Wallester has requested in accordance with this Clause 10, Wallester may apply the same restrictive measures regarding the Client which are provided for the case that money laundering or terrorism financing activities have verified or if Sanctions apply to the Client.

10.4.10.4. The mandatory provisions in law have priority over the terms in this Agreement. Therefore, if Wallester follows the mandatory requirements of law which contradict the terms in this Agreement, it is deemed that Wallester has not breached the Agreement (e.g., the law may require that Wallester does not return the funds on the Account to the Client if the Agreement is terminated due to Sanctions applied to the Client).
