Payment Transactions will be carried out from the Payment Account to such a bank account only.
After carefully reading the Framework Agreement, the Seller must accept it according to the procedures provided for by the Website and provide all information and supporting documents that are requested from him/her by the Service Provider through the Platform. By agreeing to the terms of the Framework Agreement, the Seller accepts that the Platform will transmit to the Service Provider his/her application for registration as a Seller and all supporting documents received by it.
Only the Service Provider can - within an inspection period of three (3) Business Days – accept the registration of a Seller as a customer of the Service Provider and open an Account in his/her name. The Service Provider may, without stating reasons and with no right to compensation for the Seller, refuse an application to register and to open an Account. After completion of the inspection, the Service Provider will inform the Platform about the result. The Platform will notify the Seller of the result by any means in accordance with the terms specified on the Website.
The Seller declares at the time of transmission of his/her registration request to the Platform and for the whole duration of the Framework Agreement:
- (a) that he/she is at least 18 (eighteen) years of age and of legal capacity or that his/her establishment is validly incorporated in the form of a company,
- (b) that he/she is acting on his/her own behalf;
- (c) that all information provided at the time of his/her registration is sincere, accurate and up-to-date.

Website account and password. The Seller is fully responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of his/her login details. He/she accepts not to use the name or login details of another person at any time, nor disclose his/her login details to a third party. The Seller accepts to immediately notify the Platform, in the event that he/she suspects unauthorised use of his/her login details He/she alone is responsible for any use of his/her login details.
4. Operation of the Payment Account
The sums transferred by Accepted Payment Methods by the Buyers are credited to the Payment Account opened on behalf of the designated Seller.
The sums debited from the Payment Account result from
- (i) the execution of Payment Transactions to a regular bank account opened in the Seller’s name at a bank supervised by an Authority of a European Union member state or a European Economic Area state or a third country that imposes the equivalent requirements regarding money laundering and the financing of terrorism,
- (ii) the collection by the Service Provider of the fees owed by the Seller under the Framework Contract or,
- (iii) the reversal of a transaction made by a Buyer by Accept Payment Methods.
4.1 Registration of sums transferred by Accepted Payment Methods by the Buyers and credited to the Account
Payment of the price of goods or services purchased on the Website by a Buyer may be made by Accepted Payment Methods, in one or more instalments. When the Buyer wishes to carry out such a transaction, the Buyer logs in to the Website and enters the transfer order for the funds on a payment page dedicated for this purpose. For any payment, the Buyer may be asked to enter a single-use code notified to his/her mobile phone for the attention of the institution having issued the Card. If and where appropriate, it is the responsibility of the Service Provider to refuse any payment at its discretion and without this decision giving rise to any compensation. The transfer of funds by Card is executed by the institution having issued the Card. Any dispute surrounding such a transfer must be notified to the aforementioned institution. The Service Provider is not authorised to cancel such a transfer.
The Seller is informed that acceptance of a transfer order for payment by Accepted Payment Methods by the Service Provider does not guarantee that the Seller will receive the corresponding funds in his/her Account. The registration of funds into the Seller’s Payment Account is conditioned upon actual receipt by the Service Provider of the funds collected minus the fees agreed in the Special Conditions.
In the absence of receipt of funds for technical reasons, the Service Provider will make every effort to complete the transaction. In the absence of receipt of funds for any other reason, the Service Provider will inform the Seller within 48 hours that it has been unable to credit the Seller’s Account with the expected amount, so that he/she can contact the Buyer.
In the event that the transfer of funds by Card registered in the Seller’s Account is cancelled by the issuer of the Card following a dispute with the Buyer, the Seller accepts that the Service Provider may reverse any transfer of funds by Card by debiting the corresponding amount from the Payment Account. The Seller acknowledges that such a dispute may be brought to the attention of the Card issuer until the expiry of a maximum period of 13 months following the debit date of the account with which said Card is associated. The Service Provider may, in the absence of sufficient funds in the Account and in order to carry out such a reversal, suspend or cancel any Payment Transaction, or, if necessary, have the Seller’s rights subrogated and proceed with the collection of sums owed by the Buyer by any means.
4.2 Repayment
The Seller may, at any time, instruct the Service Provider to cancel a transfer of funds by Accepted Payment Methods, in order to repay a designated Buyer the purchase price of goods or services under the sales conditions adopted by each Seller. The Seller identifies himself on the Website by indicating his/her user name and password. In his/her personal Website account, the Seller indicates the repayment, the Buyer to be recredited and any other information required.
In case of payment by Card, the repayment transaction is carried out by the Service Provider by crediting the Card used by the Buyer within the limits of the rules of each network and within five business days following receipt by the Service Provider of the request for repayment. In case of other Accepted Payment Methods, the Service Provider will repay the Buyer corresponding to the Accepted Payment Method used by the Buyer for his/her payment. Where the Service Provider requires the bank details of a Buyer in order to carry out the repayment, the Platform will contact the Buyer and provide the Service Provider with the respective bank details.
4.3 Execution of Payment Transactions
The sums credited to the Payment Account will be transferred automatically to the bank account of the Seller – less fees owed by the Seller under this Framework Agreement – as soon as the following conditions are met:
- The purchased good for which the sums have been payed has been delivered to the Buyer according to the delivery service; and
- The 14 days withdrawal period has expired without the Buyer executing his right of withdrawal.
As soon as these conditions are met, the Service Provider will transfer the respective amount from the Payment Account to the Seller’s bank account automatically and without the requirement of the Seller’s further activity.
5. Blocking of login details, Transaction dispute and Reporting
5.1 Blocking of login details
The Payment Account is accessible only via the Website with the same login details used for access to the personal Website account of each Seller. Therefore, the Seller must inform the Platform of the loss or theft of his/her login details, misappropriation or any unauthorised use of them or of his/her data without undue delay in order to request that the login details be blocked. The blocking request must be made in accordance with the General Terms and Conditions of the Website.
The Platform will execute the blocking request for the concerned login details to the Website in accordance with the General Terms and Conditions of the Website. As the Payment Account is accessible only via the Website, the Account will not be reachable after the login details are blocked. The Platform will inform the Service Provider without undue delay about the blocking of the login details for the Website. As the unauthorised use of login details normally can’t result in a misuse of the Payment Account, Payment Transactions will usually not be stopped due to a blocking of login details. Nonetheless, the Service Provider in coordination with the Platform can block the Payment Account in the event of special circumstances which justify blocking the Account and stopping Payment Transactions.
The Service Provider and the Platform shall not be held liable for any consequences arising from blocking by fax or e-mail which was not sent by the Seller.
5.2 Disputing a Transaction
For any complaint relating to the Payment Transactions executed by the Service Provider as part of this Framework Agreement, the Seller is advised to contact the Platform’s customer service or the address indicated for this purpose in the Website’s General Terms and Conditions.
If a Payment Transaction is executed by the Service Provider with errors due to its fault, the Payment Transaction will be cancelled and the Account will be restored to its situation prior to execution of the Payment Transaction. The Payment Transaction will then be executed again correctly.
The Seller who wishes to dispute a transaction unauthorised by him/her must contact the Platform’s customer service by telephone as soon as possible following his/her becoming aware of the anomaly and no later than eight (8) weeks following entry of the transaction in the Account. The Platform is responsible for transmitting the dispute to the Service Provider without undue delay. After validation of the legitimacy of the request transmitted by the Platform to the Service Provider, the Service Provider will cancel the transaction and apply a temporary credit to the Account in order to restore it to the state in which it would have been if the disputed transaction had not been carried out. After an investigation into the validity of the dispute, the Service Provider will consequently adjust the Account and is authorised to reverse any Account entry that has been unduly made
Fees indicated in the Special Conditions may be collected in case of an unjustified dispute of a Payment Transaction.
5.3 Reporting
The Seller may access, at any time, his/her personal page on the Website, showing the amount of money credited to his/her Account but which has not been transferred yet to his bank account as the conditions mentioned in Art. 4.3 are not fully met.
The Seller will be able to consult on his/her personal page on the Website a statement of Payment Transactions made from the Account. He/she is invited to carefully study the list of these Payment Transactions.
The Service Provider shall make available to the Seller, upon written request, a monthly Account statement covering the previous thirteen (13) months.
6. Amendment of the Framework Agreement
The Service Provider reserves the right, at any time, to amend the Framework Agreement. Such amendments are made accessible by the Platform to all Sellers prior to their coming into force.
Any Seller may refuse the amendments proposed and must notify the Platform’s customer service of the refusal by written notice prior to the amendments coming into force.
In case of a refusal of the amendments by the Seller, this refusal will result in the termination of the Framework Agreement, at no cost, and in the transfer of the money held in the Payment Account to the bank account of the Seller.
If the Seller does not refuse the amendments, the relationship between the Parties shall be governed by the new version of the Framework Agreement.
It is therefore important that the Seller reads his/her e-mails and regularly reads the Framework Agreement available on the Website at any time.

Notably, the Service Provider will make every effort to ensure the security and confidentiality of the Seller’s data, in accordance with current regulations in force.
The Service Provider reserves the right to temporarily suspend access to the Account for technical, security or maintenance reasons, without these operations entitling to any compensation. The Service Provider undertakes to limit this type of interruptions to those which are strictly required.
However, the Service Provider shall not be held liable by the Seller for any errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in operations carried out via the Website resulting from unauthorised access to the Website. The Service Provider shall also not be held liable for any theft, loss or unauthorised communication of data resulting from unauthorised access to the Website. Furthermore, the Service Provider remains uninvolved with the legal relationship existing between the Buyer and the Seller. The Service Provider shall not be held liable for any faults, shortcomings or negligence of the Buyer or the Seller towards each other.
The Platform is responsible for the security and confidentiality of data exchanged when using the Website in accordance with the Website’s General Terms and Conditions. The Service Provider is responsible for the security and confidentiality of data that it exchanges with the Seller as part of this Framework Agreement for the creation and management of his/her Account, as well as any Payment Transactions associated with the Account.
8. Limitation of liability of the Service Provider
The Service Provider shall in no way intervene in legal and business relations or in any disputes between the Seller and the Buyer or between the Seller and the Platform. The Service Provider shall exercise no control over the compliance, safety, legality, characteristics and appropriateness of the products subject to a Payment Transaction.
Any transaction carried out by a Seller gives rise to a contract directly formed between himself and the respective Buyer. Consequently, the Service Provider cannot be held liable for the failure to execute or the substandard execution of the resulting obligations or for any damage caused to the Seller.
Notwithstanding any provision otherwise provided for in the Framework Agreement, the liability of the Service Provider to a Seller is limited to the compensation for direct damages as provided for by the applicable regulations.
