The MANGOPAY Services enable you to receive payments from a Payer in connection with a Transaction made on the Platform. We collect these Transactions and put them in your MANGOPAY Account. In order to complete a Transaction, Payers may choose the Payment Methods available on the Partner's Platform, in accordance with the terms that we have agreed with the Partner. The Payment Methods available may vary from time to time: these are notified by the Partner to Payers and may include, for example, card payments, receiving payments (SEPA or international) and receiving direct debits. The Transactions we receive on your behalf are stored in your MANGOPAY Account, provided that we have received the funds from the Payer's PSP. If the funds of a Transaction are not received for technical reasons, we shall do whatever necessary to ensure the funds reach your MANGOPAY Account.
Disputing Transactions we receive on your behalf - Depending on the Payment Method used by a Payer, the Payer may be entitled to dispute a Transaction in accordance with the rules of said Payment Method, including where fraud is not suspected. This is especially the case for card and direct debit Payment Methods. In the event that a Transaction is disputed by the Payer and we are required to return the funds to the Payer via the Transaction Payment Method, we shall be entitled to deduct the corresponding amount from your MANGOPAY Account, including by means of offsetting. In this case, we may fully or partially reverse the disputed Transaction. Where applicable, we may also recover from you, by any means, the cost of the return of funds for each Transaction in the event that there is a shortfall, without prejudice to our legal capacity to have your rights subrogated to us in order to recover the amounts owed by the Payer by any means.
MANGOPAY Services that include receiving payments in other currencies - When receiving a payment from a Payer in connection with a Transaction completed on the Platform, and unless otherwise instructed by you, we are entitled to allow a Payer to make a payment in a current different to the currency of your MANGOPAY Account.

If the Payer chooses to use the currency conversion service when performing the Transaction, it shall be notified of the costs for the service (exchange rate and commission). MANGOPAY shall apply a currency conversion fee. The Transactions that we receive on your behalf in a different currency following the use of the currency conversion service by the Payer shall be saved in your MANGOPAY Account at no additional cost to you.
3.6 Refunding a Transaction
If you wish to refund a Payer in connection with a Transaction, you can request to fully or partially cancel a Transaction that we have received on your behalf in accordance with point 3.5. It shall only be possible to cancel a Transaction if the funds corresponding to the amount to be reimbursed are available in your MANGOPAY Account. You acknowledge that the payment order, corresponding to the refund, shall be completed after deduction of the fees mentioned in Article 3.8.
Full or partial cancellation of the Transaction shall be via the Payment Method initially used by the Payer for the Transaction in question, within the limits of the rules for each Payment Method (such as card networks and SEPA rules), no later than ten (10) working days following receipt of the refund request.
It may not be possible to cancel the Transaction due to other reasons (for example, if the refund takes place more than 11 months after the Transaction date if the payment was made by card).
You agree that the information that we require to issue a refund may be sent to us directly by the Partner.

(iii) Fund payment currency
The funds in your MANGOPAY Account shall be paid into your External Account in principle in the currency in which the Transactions were made into your MANGOPAY Account and in which you are expecting a payment.

3.8 Fees
In return for providing the Services, MANGOPAY shall collect the administration fees set out below. These fees may be modified at any time as per the terms of Article 4.1, subject to providing two months' notice.

We hold all intellectual property titles and rights in connection with the MANGOPAY Services which we provide. None of these rights are transferred to you under these General Terms and Conditions.
You undertake not to infringe the titles and rights held by MANGOPAY, such as the 'MANGOPAY' brand and logo. You also undertake not to delete or modify any statement of the 'MANGOPAY' brand or any other intellectual property right or property that appears on any element provided or made available by MANGOPAY.
8.2 Force majeure
We shall not be held liable or be deemed to have defaulted under these General Terms and Conditions, in the event of the non-performance of the MANGOPAY Services when the cause is associated with force majeure as defined by applicable law.
8.3 Independence of contract provisions
If one of the provisions of these General Terms and Conditions is held invalid or inapplicable, it shall be deemed not to have been written and shall not entail the invalidity of the other provisions. If one or more of the provisions herein become null and void or are declared as such in accordance with a law or a regulation or following a final decision issued by a court with jurisdiction, the other provisions shall retain their binding force and scope.
8.4 Assignment
You may not transfer or assign your rights and obligations under these General Terms and Conditions to third parties.
8.5 Evidence
You acknowledge that all information regarding your use of the MANGOPAY Services held in our IT system in an unalterable, reliable and secure manner is prima facie evidence.
8.6 Non-waiver
The fact that you do not avail yourself or we do not avail ourselves, at a given time, of a provision in these General Terms and Conditions, does not constitute a waiver of a right and does not subsequently prevent the exercising of this right or of another right.
8.7 Complaints and mediation
For any questions about the use of the MANGOPAY Services, please contact the Platform's Customer Service Department. If you have a complaint regarding the MANGOPAY Services or your MANGOPAY Account, you can contact our Claims Department at the following email address: complaint@mangopay.com
A response shall be sent to you as soon as possible, and no later than fifteen (15) working days following receipt of the complaint by MANGOPAY. However, for reasons beyond its control, MANGOPAY may not be able to respond within fifteen (15) days.
In this case, we shall send you a response outlining the reasons for the additional delay and the date on which a definitive response shall be sent. In any case, you shall receive a definitive response no later than thirty-five (35) working days following receipt of the complaint.
It must be noted that the CSSF [Luxembourg's financial sector regulator] has the jurisdiction to settle any disputes relating to the execution of these General Terms and Conditions on an extrajudicial dispute resolution basis. For more information about the CSSF and the terms of such redress, you can visit CSSF's website (https://www.cssf.lu/en/customer-complaints). However, please note that the matter may not be referred to the CSSF if the request is manifestly unfounded or unreasonable, if the dispute has been previously examined or is being examined by another Ombudsman or by a court, if the request to the Ombudsman is made more than one year after your written complaint to us, or if the dispute does not fall within the Ombudsman's jurisdiction. If you are a consumer, you can also submit your dispute on the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform, which can be accessed at the following address: https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/odr/. Recourse to mediation is an alternative mechanism that does not constitute a pre-condition for making a civil claim.
8.8 Language
Except for public policy regulations (which shall only apply within the strict limits of their purpose), these General Terms and Conditions are made in French only and you agree to communicate with us in French. Any translation of these General Terms and Conditions is provided for your convenience and does not seek to modify the terms of these General Terms and Conditions.
8.9 Applicable law and jurisdiction
These General Terms and Conditions are subject to Luxembourg law, except where public policy laws (such as local consumer law) are intended to be applied to the relationship that binds us.
In the event of a dispute between us, you agree that the courts of Luxembourg shall have exclusive jurisdiction. However, if you are a consumer, you can either bring proceedings in the court of the place where you are domiciled or in the court of the place where MANGOPAY has its registered office, in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 1215/2012 of 12 December 2012.
