7.4.1 CIRCL is a payment services provider and acts as such by creating, hosting, maintaining and providing our payment services to you via the Internet. Our services allow you to send payments to merchants who have an account on the CIRCL platform (“Merchants”). Our service availability varies by country. We offer services in compliance with local laws and regulations.
7.4.2 CIRCL is not a remittance business or a money transfer service and may not be used to remit funds to third parties. We do not have any control over, and are not responsible or liable for, the products or services that are paid for with our CIRCL Payment service. We cannot ensure that a Merchant you are dealing with on our platform will actually complete the transaction. CIRCL is not a common carrier or public utility.
7.4.3 You may choose to pay Merchants for their goods and services by cash and where available, by credit card and or debit card (“Card”). In the event that you choose to pay Merchants by Card, you will need to input and/or register a valid Card which belongs to you in accordance with the instructions within the Application. If the Card belongs to another person, such as your parents, you hereby warrant and agree that you have obtained their permission to use the Card for the payment of the transportation services. You agree that we may verify, authenticate, and/or authorize your Card details when you first register the Card with us as well as when you conduct a transaction with a Merchant. You agree that we may issue a reasonable authorization hold, which is not an actual charge against your Card, in order to obtain authorization of your payment method via your Card. The hold may appear in your statement as “pending”. The authorization hold is issued as a preventive measure against any unauthorized or fraudulent usage of your Card. In the event your payment by your Card is processed overseas, you will be liable for any additional charges in relation thereto. The Company reserves the right to suspend the processing of any transaction or disable or limit the use of the Card in the event of any error in transaction which results in decline or chargeback from the financial institution or where the Company reasonably believes that the Card has been used for a transaction that may be fraudulent, illegal or involves any criminal activity or where the Company reasonably believes you to be in breach of this Terms and Conditions. You agree that you will cooperate in relation to any financial crime screening that is required and to assist CIRCL in complying with any prevailing laws or regulations in place. You shall be responsible to resolve any disputes with your Card company on your own.
7.4.4 By entering a payment instrument to your CIRCL User Account and using an App to initiate a transaction at a participating CIRCL merchant, to initiate a mobile order for goods provided by a third-party, to add stored value to a CIRCL User Account, or to purchase merchant credit, you authorize CIRCL to charge your entered payment instrument as necessary to complete payment to CIRCL for the purchase or transaction, including for the total transaction amount less any credit redeemed in connection with your purchase. If such charge is rejected or fails, CIRCL may charge your payment instrument again at a later time without advance notice to you.
In the event you are entitled to a reversal, refund, chargeback, or other adjustment associated with a purchase you made using your CIRCL User Account, you also authorize a credit to your payment instrument by CIRCL to accomplish that transaction.
All purchases, orders, and charges authorized using an App and/or the CIRCL Services are also subject to the terms and conditions set forth by the entities that issue your payment instrument. You are responsible for complying with those terms and conditions, and you are responsible for payment of all charges and related fees imposed by such entities pursuant to those terms and conditions.
There is no limit on the frequency of transactions you may make using your CIRCL User Account. CIRCL may impose limits on the amount of transaction(s) you make at any merchant without notice.
7.4.5 When you send a payment to certain Merchants or to CIRCL on behalf of certain Merchants, you are providing an authorization to the Merchant and/or CIRCL to process your payment and complete the transaction. The payment will be held as pending until the Merchant and/or CIRCL processes your payment. CIRCL and/or certain Merchants may delay processing your payment. In such an instance, your Authorization will remain valid for up to 30 Days. If your payment requires a currency conversion, the exchange rate will be determined at the time CIRCL and/or the Merchant processes your payment and completes the transaction.
7.4.6 CIRCL will provide you with an electronic transaction receipt, through an interface within the CIRCL App and/or by email to the email address provided by you, following each CIRCL transaction initiated using a CIRCL App. The receipt will include the date, location, and amount of the transaction, as well as the identity of the CIRCL merchant at which the transaction occurred. Your transaction history may also be viewed within a CIRCL App. You may request CIRCL to discontinue the sending of a receipt to you for transactions conducted on the CIRCL platform by emailing emailoptout@circl.it from your registered email address with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject line.
