- USE OF CREDIT LINE 6.1. The Client may use the Credit Line by way of utilising Credit (not exceeding the Credit Limit at any time) from the Lender to cover the amount of payment transactions initiated by the Client which cannot be covered from the Client’s own funds in W1TTY E-Money Account. Credit shall be deemed utilised at the moment of the Client’s authorisation of payment transaction from the Client’s W1TTY E-Money Account provided via W1TTY App, by using W1TTY Card or otherwise as permitted by W1TTY, if the Client does not have sufficient balance of Euros in W1TTY E-Money Account, but has sufficient available Credit Limit, for executing such payment transaction. In such case, the Client agrees that the authorised payment will be automatically executed as follows: (i) firstly, by using the Client’s own funds held in Euros on W1TTY E Money Account; and (ii) then, by using available Credit Limit (to the extent that the Client’s balance of funds held in W1TTY E-Money Account is not sufficient). The Lender will never allow larger Credit amount than needed to cover the rest of the payment transaction that cannot be covered by the Client’s own funds held in Euros on W1TTY E-Money Account and the available Credit Limit. 6.2. The Lender shall be responsible to the Client for proper provision of the Credit amount needed to cover the payment transaction, whereas W1TTY shall be responsible to the Client for proper execution of the payment transaction and transfer of funds to the respective payee. 6.3. The Lender will provide information about the amount of used Credit to the Client and the Client is able to check such information at any time and free of charge upon logging into his/her W1TTY E Money Account on W1TTY App. 6.4. The Credit Limit provided under the Credit Line Agreement is revolving, i.e. the repaid Credit amount can be used by the Client repeatedly until the Repayment Date but without exceeding the Credit Limit at any given time. The Lender reserves the right to unilaterally determine the conditions applicable for utilisation of Credit Limit (e.g. requirement for the Client to have an active W1TTY E-Money Account, etc.). In order to use the Credit Line, the Client must fulfil all such conditions. The Credit amount utilised by the Client is immediately deducted from the Credit Limit, and the outstanding Credit amount is increased by the amount utilised. The outstanding amount of Credit used by the Client will not exceed the Credit Limit at any given time. The Lender will reject the Client’s attempted payment transaction if the amount of payment transaction exceeds the available Credit Limit.
- SUSPENSION OF CREDIT LINE SERVICES 7.1. The Lender reserves the right to suspend the Client’s possibility to use the Credit Line (including to suspend further use of the Credit Limit): 7.1.1. if the Lender becomes aware that the Client provided the Lender with incorrect, inaccurate or misleading information about the Client’s identity, solvency or other material circumstances, including when such information was provided in the Credit Line Application and the Lender provided the Client with the Credit Line based on this information (i.e. provided information led to incorrect assessment of creditworthiness); 7.1.2. if the Lender has grounds to suspect or has been notified by the Client that the Client’s security credentials linked to W1TTY E-Money Account or W1TTY Card have been lost, stolen, misappropriated, used without authorisation or otherwise compromised, and (or) the Client’s W1TTY E Money Account or W1TTY Card is used by unauthorised persons, for fraudulent purposes, or because for other objectively justified reasons relating to the security of W1TTY E-Money Account or W1TTY Card; 7.1.3. until the Client completes, to the Lender’s satisfaction, due diligence and creditworthiness assessment procedures periodically carried out under the Credit Line Agreement; 7.1.4. during operational maintenance, update, upgrade or errors of W1TTY App, as well as in case of illegal intervention, viruses or other malware suffered by W1TTY App; 7.1.5. in case of abnormal and unforeseeable circumstances beyond the Lender’s control; 7.1.6. if the Client engages or the Lender has grounds to suspect that the Client may be involved in prohibited activities such as fraud, money laundering, terrorist financing or other criminal or illegal activity; 7.1.7. if the Client breaches or the Lender has grounds to suspect that the Client may be in breach of the provisions of the Credit Line Agreement; 7.1.8. if the Client no longer has an active W1TTY E-Money Account and (or) possibility to log into W1TTY App (e.g. security credentials are blocked), including where W1TTY lawfully suspends (limits) the Client’s access to the Client’s W1TTY E Money Account; 7.1.9. if the Lender is required to do so by law, including under the requirement of the competent authorities; 7.1.10. the Client has overdue and (or) defaulted payments to the Lender under the Credit Line Agreement; 7.1.11. the Lender is informed about the Client’s death and (or) intention to file for bankruptcy; 7.1.12. the Lender considers that the Client’s risk of defaulting on payments to the Lender payable under the Credit Line Agreement significantly increases and (or) will increase. This may include (but shall not be limited to) the following circumstances: 7.1.12.1. the Client’s financial situation deteriorates or, in the Lender’s reasonable opinion, will deteriorate, which may have a material adverse effect on the Client’s ability to meet financial obligations under the Credit Line Agreement, including if the Client becomes insolvent before the entry into force of the Credit Line Agreement, but the Lender becomes aware of this only afterwards; 7.1.12.2. the Client has filed for bankruptcy or informed the Lender or Third Parties about possible bankruptcy; 7.1.12.3. the data provided in the registers or systems of the Lender or Third Parties contain information negatively affecting the Client’s creditworthiness; 7.1.12.4. the Client no longer has a place of residence in the Republic of Lithuania, or the Client informs the Lender about permanent departure from the Republic of Lithuania; 7.1.12.5. the Client’s contact details become invalid, for example, correspondence addressed to the Client is returned the Lender as undelivered, and the Client did not notify the Lender of a change in the Client’s contact details. 7.2. The Lender will inform the Client of the suspension of Credit Line services and reasons for it by e-mail at the Client’s verified e-mail address and on W1TTY App, where possible, before the Credit Line is suspended and at the latest immediately thereafter, unless providing such information would compromise objectively justified security reasons or is prohibited by law.
- CREDIT REPAYMENT. INTEREST AND LATE FEES Credit Repayment 8.1. The Client undertakes to repay used Credit to the Lender no later than on the Repayment Date, which is the last day of the Repayment Term. 8.2. If the Client does not repay the used Credit by the end of the Repayment Date, it will be considered that the Client has breached the Credit Line Agreement and the Client shall continue to accumulate Interest for the further use of non-repaid Credit amount until it is repaid to the Lender as well as Late Fees will accumulate daily on the overdue Credit amount for up to 180 days. Interest 8.3. The Client undertakes to pay Interest to the Lender for the use of Credit under the Credit Line Agreement. Interest is accumulated for used Credit daily starting from the date the Credit was used until the date when the Client repays such used Credit to the Lender. 8.4. Interest is calculated according to the Interest Rate specified in the Special Terms and Conditions, taking into account the actual number of days in a respective month (i.e. daily). 8.5. The amount of Interest that is accumulated during a specific month is called “Monthly Interest Payment” which the Client undertakes to pay to the Lender within 1 (one) month following the end of a specific month during which that amount of Interest has accumulated. However, the due date of the last two Monthly Interest Payments for the Interest which accrues during the last two months of Repayment Term shall be the same date as the Repayment Date (so that all payable amounts would be settled no later than on the last day of Repayment Term). 8.6. If the Client does not pay the Monthly Interest Payment until its due date, it will be considered that the Client has breached the Credit Line Agreement and the Late Fees will accumulate daily on the overdue Monthly Interest Payment for up to 180 days. Late Fees 8.7. If the Client does not repay the used Credit until the end of Repayment Date and/or does not pay Monthly Interest Payment until its due date, it will be considered that the Client has breached the Credit Line Agreement and the Client shall pay to the Lender the Late Fees for each day of delay. Such Late Fees are considered as the Lender’s minimum losses. 8.8. The Late Fees are accumulated and charged on the overdue amount daily, starting from the next calendar day after the Client has breached the Credit Line Agreement under the Clause above, for every day of delay (but for not longer than 180 days). For the reasons of clarity, in case the Late Fees are applied due to the fact that the Client has not repaid the used Credit until the end of Repayment Date, the Late Fees will be calculated in addition to accruing of Interest on the outstanding Credit amount. 8.9. The Lender reserves a right to report Client’s overdue payments that arise under the Credit Line Agreement to Third Parties that maintain records of defaulting debtors, including credit bureaus. Method of Settlement 8.10. The Client agrees that his/her payments to the Lender that arise from the Credit Line Agreement will be made by the Client as follows: 8.10.1. by settling the outstanding payments from the Client’s own funds held in the Client’s W1TTY E-Money Account – the Client, by accepting the terms and conditions, agrees that W1TTY, acting for the benefit of the Lender, can perform unilateral settlements (set-offs) of any outstanding amounts of the Client that arise from the Credit Line Agreement from the Client’s W1TTY E-Money Account (i.e. outstanding Credit, accumulated Interest and Late Fees, regardless of their due date) as soon as the Client receives any funds on his/her W1TTY E Money Account (e.g. by way of top up or other incoming payment) until the Client’s payments to the Lender that arise under the Credit Line Agreement are fully settled; 8.10.2. by way of the Client himself/herself transferring funds from his/her payment account of choice to the Lender’s bank account – if the Client’s W1TTY E-Money Account is suspended or closed before the termination of the Credit Line Agreement and the Client still has outstanding payments to the Lender that arise from the Credit Line Agreement. 8.11. The Client’s payments to the Lender that arise from the Credit Line Agreement shall be made in Euros. On and/or after the Repayment Date, if the Client has available balance on his/her W1TTY E-Money Account in another currency, the Client agrees that the amount payable to the Lender under the Credit Line Agreement will be automatically converted to Euros by W1TTY at the Client’s expense (e.g. currency conversion fees may be applied) before it is deducted by W1TTY and transferred to the Lender. 8.12. The Client may be required to pay commission fees to W1TTY or other payment service providers servicing the Client, if any, for payment transactions intended for repayment of used Credit, payment of Interest or Late Fees under this Credit Line Agreement. The Lender shall not be responsible for covering such commission fees payable by the Client to W1TTY or other payment service providers servicing the Client. 8.13. The Client is able to check the outstanding Credit amount, accumulated Interest (Monthly Interest Payments) and Late Fees (including information on due dates) at any time and free of charge upon logging into the Client’s W1TTY E-Money Account on W1TTY App. If the Lender properly provides the respective information to the Client following the methods agreed upon in the Credit Line Agreement (e.g. makes it available to the Client on W1TTY App), the mere fact that the Client has not received and (or) has not opened the received information shall not release the Client from the obligation to repay the used Credit, pay Interest and (or) Late Fees in a timely manner. Order of Settlement 8.14. The Lender settles the funds received from the Client under the Credit Line Agreement in the following order: 8.14.1. firstly, the amount received is used to cover overdue payments to the Lender, if any (and if the received amount is not sufficient to cover all such payments – firstly, such amount is used for payment of Late Fees, then – for overdue Monthly Interest Payments (including any Interest that accrues after Repayment Date, if any), lastly – for overdue repayment of used Credit); 8.14.2. secondly, the amount paid is used to cover other outstanding payments to the Lender, if any (and if the received amount is not sufficient to cover all such payments – firstly, such amount is used for payment of Monthly Interest Payments that are not yet overdue, then – for repayment of used Credit); 8.14.3. lastly, the amount paid is used to cover any expenses incurred by the Lender for the judicial or non-judicial process of recovery of the Client’s debt, if any.
