Service characteristics and possible risks
Electronic money is a monetary value, represented by a credit against the electronic money institution (EMI) Sureswipe PLC stored on a computerised software application (“Pagaty Wallet”) created and managed by the electronic money distributor (EMD) Oktopay limited on behalf of the service distributor Macao S.r.L. and an electronic device (consisting of a payment card reproduced on both plastic and virtual media), issued by the issuer Paynovate SA. In the name of the Customer through the Pagaty Wallet application upon receipt of funds equal to the chosen subscription plan.
Therefore, the funds made available by Sureswipe EMI PLC through Oktopay LTD in the Pagaty Wallet service for the issuance of e-money do not constitute Customer bank deposits, with the result that, the service distributor, e-money distributor and e-money institution do not pay interest on the funds made available for the issuance of e-money in the name of the Customer and are not covered by the Interbank Deposit Protection Fund. Instead, your money is safeguarded in accordance with the Electronic Money Regulations. Safeguarding means that, by law, all your money is kept in accounts that are completely separate from the Electronic Money Institution’s company operational funds. These funds are called ‘safeguarded funds’.
Each Customer may use electronic money issued in his or her name to make and/or receive payments from other clients as well as to instruct Oktopay Limited (EMD) to make payments on his or her behalf. The Customer may, also, obtain a refund of the unused portion of e-money. The use of e-money by each Customer is done through the use of the plastic medium and the special software application Pagaty Wallet (hereinafter simply “the Application” or “Pagaty Wallet”), owned by Oktopay Limited (hereinafter “the EMD” or “Oktopay”), which is accessed through special security codes that the Customer chooses during the product subscription.
Upon release, the Customer must provide an email address (or credentials) to access the application Pagaty Wallet. The Pagaty Wallet Application can be downloaded from major stores (e.g. Google Play, Apple Store).
With respect to the main risks to be taken into account, the utmost care must be observed in the proper use and safekeeping of security codes to prevent fraudulent use by third parties that allow the use of the electronic money issued in the Customer’s name.
Regarding the possible loss, theft or misappropriation for fraudulent use of the card, if any, or credentials for accessing the application, care should be taken to promptly notify customer service via email to support@oktopayments.com to enable the timely blocking of the Card and/or availability of funds in the account and the subsequent handling of the claim.
The service may be suspended or interrupted due to force majeure or technical reasons and, in any case, for causes beyond Oktopay’s control, such as, but not limited to, power outages.
Who can use the service
The application and associated card, if any, can be used by individuals who are eighteen years of age or older, possess regular valid identity documents, and have their domicile and residence in Italy.
