When registering in the System, an Account is created for the Customer. The Account is personal and only its owner, i.e., the Customer, has the right to use it. Once the Customer has registered in the System and an Account has been created, a Montify Account is automatically opened for the Customer. The Montify Account functions under the procedure laid down in Articles 4 and 5 of the present Agreement.
The Customer shall possess one Account only.
The Agreement shall enter into force and become valid indefinitely once the Customer has registered in the System, became acquainted with the Terms of the present Agreement, and expressed their consent to comply with the Terms.

In order for Montify to start or continue the provision of Services, the Customer shall confirm the Account, the provision of a new Service or a part of a Service and perform the Customer identification procedure under circumstances and procedures set out in the Agreement or in the System. The customer identification procedure, confirmation of the Account, and provision of new Services is performed in order to ensure protection of the interests of the Customer and Montify.

In order to perform an identification procedure, Montify has the right to demand from the Customer to provide original documents and/or their copies and/or copies of documents certified by a notary or any other person authorised by the state.
In separate cases, when performing duties established by the legislation or if it is required due to the type of the document (e.g. the original of the document has to be provided), Montify has the right to demand from the Customer to perform the Customer identification procedure by a specific method indicated by Montify (e.g. at the Customer Service branch).
The Parties agree that the Customer can confirm (sign) documents (e.g., agreements, consents, etc.) by electronic means (including, but not limited to, signing with a stylus pen on the screen).

Prices of Montify Services and the Payment Procedure
The prices and terms for the provision of Montify Services are stated in the respective Article of the present Agreement, on the Pricing page, or in the Supplement dedicated to a specific Service.
If Montify reduces the general prices for the provision of the Services that are provided in the System, the new prices shall be applied immediately upon their publication without regard to whether the Customer has been informed, but only if the Prices have not been changed in the manner set forth in Article 11.
Montify Commission Fees are deducted:
at the time of the Payment Transaction.
If Commission Fees were not deducted when executing a Payment Transaction, Montify has the right to deduct them later, but not later than within 2 (two) years after the Payment Transaction was executed. The Customer is informed about the Commission Fees deducted under the procedure laid down in this item by the commission fees report for the period of time when the Commission Fee was deducted.
The Commission Fee for the transaction is indicated to the Customer before the Payment Transaction (unless otherwise stated in the rules of the particular Payment Instrument or Service).
The Customer confirms that they have carefully studied Prices and Terms of Payment Transfers and other Montify Services that are applied and relevant to the Customer.
Montify has the right to deduct the Commission Fee from the Account where the Payment Transaction has been performed or from other Accounts opened in Montify.
The Commission Fee shall be paid in the currency indicated in the Agreement, the Supplement to the Agreement, or on the websites referenced in the present Agreement or its Supplement.
The Customer undertakes to ensure a sufficient amount of money is in their account to pay or deduct the Commission Fee. If the amount of funds in the indicated currency is insufficient to cover the Commission Fee, Montify has the right, but not the obligation, to deduct the Commission Fee from funds held in the Account in another currency, converting the currency into the necessary one in accordance with the currency exchange rate applied by Montify to the Customer. If there is money in several different currencies in the Account, Montify may exchange it to the payable currency according to the alphabetical order of the international abbreviations of currencies.
Montify Account Opening. Electronic Money Issuance, and Redemption Terms
According to the present Agreement, the Montify Account is opened for the Customer in the System for an indefinite period of time.
The Montify Account allows the Customer to deposit, transfer, keep in the Account funds intended for transfers, carry out local and international money transfers, pay contribution, receive money to the Account, pay for goods and services, and perform other transactions related to money transfers.
Funds held in the Customer's Montify Account are considered Electronic Money, which Montify issues after the Customer transfers or deposits money to their Montify Account. Having received the money, Montify credits it to the Customer's Account, at the same time issuing Electronic Money at the nominal value. The Electronic Money is credited to and held in the Customer's Montify Account.
The nominal value of the Electronic Money to be issued coincides with the nominal value of funds deposited or transferred to the Montify Account.
Electronic money held in the Montify Account is not a deposit and Montify does not, in any circumstances, pay any interest for the Electronic Money held in the Montify Account and does not provide any other benefits associated with the time period the Electronic Money is stored.
The Customer can create and hold multiple Montify Accounts in the same Account and use them at their discretion.
At the request of the Customer, the Electronic Money held in their Montify Account shall be redeemed at their nominal value at any time, except for cases set forth in the Agreement, when limitations are applied to the Account.
The Customer submits the request for redemption of Electronic Money by generating a Payment Order to transfer the Electronic Money from their Montify Account to any other account specified by the Customer (banks and electronic payment systems to which Montify can transfer money are specified here) or withdraw the Electronic Money from their Montify Account using other methods supported by Montify and indicated in the System.
No specific conditions for the redemption of Electronic Money that would differ from the standard conditions for Payment Transfers and other Payment Transactions performed in the Montify Account shall be applied. The amount of redeemed or transferred Electronic Money is chosen by the Customer.
No extra charges shall be applied for the redemption of Electronic Money. In the event of redemption of Electronic Money redemption, the Customer pays the usual Commission Fee for the performed money Payment Transfer or withdrawal, which depends on the Payment Transaction carried out by the Customer. The standard Montify Commission Fees for a money transfer or withdrawal shall be applied.
Provided that the Customer terminates the Agreement and applies with the request to close their Montify Account and delete their Account from the System, or if Montify terminates the provision of the Montify Account services to the Customer and deletes the Account of the Customer from the System in cases provided for in the Agreement, the funds held in the Montify Account shall be transferred to the Customer's bank account or to an account in another electronic payment system indicated by the Customer. Montify has the right to deduct from the repaid money the amounts that belong to Montify (fees for services provided by Montify and expenses which have not been paid by the Customer, including, but not limited to, fines and damages incurred by Montify due to a breach of the Agreement committed by the Customer, which have been imposed by international payment card organisations, other financial institutions and/or state institutions). In the event of a dispute between Montify and the Customer, Montify has the right to retain funds under dispute until the dispute is resolved.
In case Montify fails to repay the money to the Customer due to reasons beyond the control of Montify, the Customer shall be notified thereof immediately. The Customer shall immediately indicate another account or provide additional information necessary to repay the money (execute a payment).
The Use of the Montify Account
The Customer can manage the Montify Account by logging in to the Account with their login name and Password and carrying out additional authentication (Strong Customer Authentication).
Payment Transactions from the Customer's Montify Account can be executed:
to another user's account in the System.
to EEA/ UK and foreign bank accounts (except for banks in foreign countries, Payment Transactions to which are forbidden: Montify informs the Customer about such countries in the System).
to accounts in other electronic payment systems specified in the System.
Currency exchange is based on the exchange rate of Montify valid at the moment of conversion and is constantly updated (currency exchange rates are applied immediately and without separate notice).
Montify Account opening and maintenance prices are provided on the Pricing page. If the Customer did not log in to the Account and perform transactions in the Account for more than a year, Montify shall deem the Account and the Account(s) are not in use (inactive). Montify has the right to terminate the Agreement and close the Account and the Account(s), informing the Customer about the inactive Accounts and Accounts 30 days prior to termination, provided the Accounts and Accounts are not in use and there are no funds in the Accounts. If at least one inactive Account has funds in it, Montify shall leave the Account open and close the inactive Account(s) only.
A bank or another electronic money transfer system may apply fees for transferring money from the Customer's Montify Account to the Customer's bank account, card, or payment account of another electronic payment system, as well as for transferring money from a bank account, card, or another electronic payment system to the Montify Account.
Fees for Montify Services are deducted from the Customer's Montify Account. In case the amount of funds in the Montify Account is less than the amount of the Payment Transfer and the price of the Montify Service, the Payment Transfer is not executed.
When a transfer other than a SEPA, TARGET2, or SEPA Instant is performed, and the Customer transfers money from their Montify Account to accounts in banks or other electronic payment institutions, Montify is indicated as the Payer. Together with the Payment Transfer, the Recipient is given the following information, which in dependence on technical options can be transferred in one or several of the ways below:
detailed information about the Payer-Customer is given in the field of the primary Payer, provided such a system is supported by the relevant e-banking or payment system.
detailed information about the Payer-Customer is given in the field of payment purpose.
In case the Payer indicates incorrect data of the Recipient (unique identifiers), and the Payment Order is executed according to the data provided by the Payer (for example, the Payer indicates a wrong account number), it shall be considered that Montify has fulfilled the obligations properly and shall not repay the transferred amount to the Payer. Montify commits to take all necessary actions to track the payment transaction and will seek to return the funds of the payment transaction, however, in the event of failure to do so, the Payer shall directly contact the person who has received the transfer, on the issue of returning the money.
The Customer is obliged to provide a Payment Order for the execution of the Payment Transaction in accordance with the instructions specified in the System and valid at the moment of the transfer. In case the Customer is the Recipient, they are obligated to provide detailed and precise information to the Payer, so that the Payment Order for the Payment Transaction in all cases complies with the instructions in the System and is valid at the moment of transfer. Before sending a Payment Order for the execution of a Payment Transaction or sending information to another Payer, the Customer is required to check and update the account top-up instructions. Such instructions and the data provided therein shall be deemed Unique Identifiers, required in order to carry out a Payment Transaction in a proper manner.
If the Payer submits an incorrect Payment Order or indicates incorrect data for the Payment Transfer, but the Payment Transfer has not been executed yet, the Payer may request to correct the Payment Order. In this case, a fee for the correction of the Payment Order is applied, as indicated in the System.
Provided Montify has received funds but is unable to credit the funds indicated in the Payment Order to the Recipient's account (e.g., the Recipient's account is closed, the indicated IBAN number does not exist, or else), Montify shall return the transaction amount to the sender not later than within two business days. In this case, charges for returning a Payment Order provided in the System may be applied. If Montify cannot credit the funds indicated in the Payment Order to the Recipient due to errors the Payer made in the Payment Order, but the Payer requests to return the funds indicated in the Payment Order, the Payment Order may be cancelled and funds may be returned to the Payer, but only under a written request of the Payer and if the Recipient agrees to return the funds to the Payer (if the Recipient can be identified). In such a case, the fees for the cancellation of the Payment Order indicated in the System are applied.
In all cases, when Montify receives a Payment Order but the funds cannot be credited due to errors in the Payment Order or insufficiency of information, and neither the Payer nor the Recipient have contacted Montify for specification of the Payment Order or return of the funds, Montify undertakes all possible measures to track the Payment Transaction in order to receive accurate information and execute the Payment Order. To track the Payment Transaction, the following measures may be used:
If Montify has the contact details of the Payer (email address or phone number), Montify contacts the Payer for the Payment Order specification.
If Montify does not have contact details of the Payer and neither the Payer nor the Recipient contact Montify regarding the funds indicated in the Payment Order, Montify contacts the provider of payment services of the Payer who has sent the funds indicated in the Payment Order with a request to contact the Payer for the information specification. This measure is applied if there are possibilities to contact the provider of payment services of the Payer by electronic means.
If the aforementioned measures do not help to track the Payment Transaction, Montify has the right to perform a transfer to the Payer in the amount of 0.01 EUR or another minimum amount, indicating in the payment purpose a request to contact Montify and specify the incorrect Payment Order via email. The present measure is applied in case Montify has the account number of the Payer, the cost of such Payment Transfer is reasonable, and the amount of the Payment Transfer is not less than 10.00 (ten) EUR.
In all cases specified in clause 5.14, the fee for specification of the Payment Order indicated in the System is applied by debiting it from the amount of the transfer before crediting the transfer to the Account of the Customer-Recipient.
In case it is impossible to apply any of the measures listed in clause 5.14 for tracking the Payment Transaction, and in other cases when it is still impossible to identify the Recipient according to the indicated or corrected data, the funds are stored in the Montify system until the Payer or the Recipient contact and additional data allowing to credit the funds to the Recipient is provided (after debiting the fee for specifying or correcting the Payment Order from the transferred amount before crediting it to the Account of the Customer-Recipient). Such funds may also be returned to the Payer at a written request of the Payer. In this case the fee for returning the funds, which is indicated in the System, will be debited from the transferred amount before returning it to the Payer.
The Customer, having noticed that money has been credited to or deducted from their Montify Account by mistake or in other ways that have no legal basis, is obliged to notify Montify about it. The Customer has no right to dispose of money that does not belong to them. In such cases Montify has the right, and the Customer gives an irrevocable consent to deduct the money from their Montify Account without the Customer's order. If the amount of money in the Montify Customer's Account is insufficient to debit the money credited to or deducted from their Montify Account to their other accounts by mistake, the Customer unconditionally. commits to repay Montify the money credited to or deducted from the Montify Account to their other accounts by mistake in 3 (three) business days from the receipt of such request from Montify.
The Customer can check the Account balance and history by logging in to the Account. There is also information about all Commission Fees applied for and other fees deducted from the Account of the Customer during a selected period of time.
The Customer confirms that:
the incoming funds in their Montify Account are not obtained as a result of criminal activity.
the Customer will not use the services provided by Montify for any illegal purposes, including actions and transactions in order to legalese funds derived from criminal or other illegal activities.
The Customer can manage the Montify Account and perform Payment Transactions from the Montify Account in the following ways:
via the Internet, by logging in to their Account.
via the Montify Application (Supplement "Managing the Montify Account via the Montify Application" is applied after the Customer has agreed to conditions of the Supplement).
by Payment Instruments linked to the Montify Account (Supplement "Payment Instruments" is applied after the Customer has agreed to conditions of the Supplement).
by other instruments indicated by Montify after the Customer has agreed to the conditions of using such instruments.
Execution of Payment Orders from the Montify Account via the Internet:
In order to execute a Payment Transaction via the Internet, the Customer must fill in a Payment Order in the System and submit it for execution, electronically confirming in the System their Consent to execute the Payment Order.
Submission of a Payment Order in the System is an agreement of the Customer to execute the Payment Transaction which cannot be cancelled (cancellation of the Payment Order is only possible until the execution of the Payment Order has been started - the status of the Payment Order and the possibility of cancellation are visible in the Account of the Customer).
In case the Payment Order has been filled in incorrectly, the Payment Transfer is not executed, unless Montify, at its own initiative, in exceptional cases corrects the Payment Order or has a sufficient amount of information to determine the correctness of information to execute the Payment Order under a regular procedure.
If the amount of money in the Account is insufficient in one currency, but there is a sufficient amount of money in another currency, the Payment Transfer shall not be executed until the Customer converts the other currency to the currency of the payment (except for cases when the Customer has ordered an automatic currency exchange function or the transfer is intended for paying for goods or services via the Montify system).
5.23. The terms of use of Montify Account management means, other than those indicated in clause 5.21 of the present Agreement (except for managing the Montify Account via the Internet), are set out in separate Supplements governing specific means of Montify Account management. Specific Supplements regulating other means of Montify Account management shall apply in case the Customer chooses to use the respective Montify Account management means. The Supplement shall apply to the Customer from the moment the Customer has electronically or in another way confirmed that they have learned the terms of the Supplement and express their will to use the Service indicated in the Supplement.
5.24. Information on executed and received transactions is provided by Montify in the Account Statement of the Customer. The Customer may log in to their Account and view this information free of charge or have it printed out at a selected frequency.
Payment Order Receipt, Requirements Applied to the Payment Order, and Refusal to Execute the Payment Order
When the Customer is a Payer, the Payment Order is considered received by Montify (calculation of the time period of execution of such Payment Order starts) on the day of its receipt, or, if the moment of receipt of the Payment Order is not a business day of Montify, the Payment Order is considered received on the nearest business day of Montify.
A Payment Order received by Montify on a business day of Montify, but not during business hours set by Montify, is considered received on the nearest business day of Montify.
Payment Orders for payments within the Montify System are executed immediately (up to a few minutes, unless the Payment Transaction is suspended due to cases set forth by legal acts and the present Agreement), regardless of the business hours of Montify.
Montify has the right to record and store any Payment Orders submitted by any of the means agreed on with Montify, and to record and store information about all Payment Transactions performed by the Customer or according to Payment Orders of the Customer. Records mentioned in the present clause may be submitted by Montify to the Customer and/or third persons who have the right to receive such data under the basis set forth in the legislation, as evidence confirming the submission of Payment Orders and/or executed Payment Transactions.
Payment Orders submitted by the Customer shall comply with the requirements for the submission of such Payment Orders and/or content of the Payment Order set by legal acts or Montify. Payment Orders submitted by the Customer shall be formulated clearly and unambiguously, shall be executable, and contain the clearly stated will of the Customer. Montify does not take responsibility for errors, discrepancies, repetitions and/or contradictions in Payment Orders submitted by the Customer, including but not limited to, correctness of the details of the Payment Order submitted by the Customer. If the Payment Order submitted by the Customer does not contain enough data or contains deficiencies, Montify, regardless of the nature of the deficiencies in the Payment Order, can refuse to execute such a Payment Order or can execute it in accordance with the data provided in the Payment Order.
Montify has the right to refuse to execute the Payment Order in case of a reasonable doubt that the Payment Order or the documents submitted by the Customer or an authorised representative of the Customer, are not in line with the requirements set forth by legislation and/or Montify, or Montify has reasonable doubt regarding the authenticity and veracity of said documents. If Montify has reasonable suspicion that the Payment Order has been submitted not by the Customer or the Customer's legal representative, or suspicion regarding the authenticity of the submitted documents, or other suspicion regarding the legitimacy or the content of the submitted Payment Order, Montify has the right to require the Customer to confirm the submitted Payment Order additionally and/or submit documents confirming the rights of the persons to manage the funds held in the Account or other documents indicated by Montify in a way acceptable to Montify at expense of the Customer. In the cases provided for in this clause, Montify acts with the aim to protect the legal interests of the Customer, Montify, and/or other persons, thus, Montify does not undertake the responsibility for losses which may arise due to refusal to execute a submitted Payment Order.
The Customer shall ensure a sufficient amount of money in the relevant currency in their Account for the Payment Order to be executed.
Before executing a Payment Order submitted by the Customer, Montify has the right to require the Customer to provide documents proving the lawfulness of the origin of funds related to the Payment Order. In case the Customer fails to submit such documents, Montify has the right to refuse to execute the Payment Order.
Montify has the right to involve third parties in executing a Payment Order of the Customer partially or in full if the Customer's interests and/or the essence of the Payment Order require so. In cases where the Payment Order of the Customer requires sending and executing the Payment Order further through another financial institution, but this institution suspends the Payment Order of the Customer, Montify is not responsible for such actions of the financial institution but makes attempts to find out the reasons for the suspension of the Payment Order. Montify has the right to suspend and/or terminate the execution of the Payment Order of the Customer, if required by law or if it is necessary for other reasons beyond control of Montify .
In case Montify refuses to execute a Payment Order submitted by the Customer, Montify shall immediately notify the Customer thereof, or create the necessary conditions for the Customer to get acquainted with such a notification, except when such notification is technically impossible or forbidden by legal acts.
Montify shall not accept or execute Payment Orders of the Customer to perform transactions in the Account of the Customer, if funds in the Account are arrested, the right of the Customer to manage the funds is otherwise legally restricted, or transactions of the Customer are suspended by applicable legal acts.
If money transferred by the Payment Order is returned due to reasons beyond the control of Montify (inaccurate data of the Payment Order, the account of the Recipient is closed, etc.), the returned amount is credited to the Account. Fees paid by the Payer for the Payment Order execution are not returned, and other fees, related to returning the money, and applied to Montify, can be deducted from the Account.
Provision and Cancellation of the Consent, Cancellation of the Payment Order

The Customer (Payer) may provide consent in the manner determined by Montify or agreed upon with the Customer. Consent submitted in writing must be signed by the Customer or his legal representative. Consent may also be confirmed by electronic signature, password, codes, and/or other identity verification means. Consent to execute a payment transaction or several payment transactions can also be granted through the Recipient or the payment initiation service provider. In all cases stipulated in this clause, the Consent shall be deemed duly approved by the Customer (Payer), having the same legal validity as the paper document (the Consent) signed by the Customer (their representative), and is permissible as a means of proof in resolving disputes between Montify and the Customer in courts and other institutions. The Customer shall not be entitled to contest the Payment Transaction executed by Montify, if the Payment Order has been approved by the Consent provided in the manner set out in this clause.
The Consent of the Customer (Payer) is submitted prior to execution of the Payment Transaction. Under an agreement between the Customer (Payer) and Montify, the Payment Transaction may be authorised, i.e., such Consent of the Customer may be given after execution of the Payment Transaction.

Payment Order cancellation procedure:
a Payment Order cannot be cancelled after Montify has received it, except for the cases provided in the Agreement.
if a Payment Transaction has been initiated by the Recipient or via the Recipient (e.g. a payment using a payment card) or by a payment initiation service provider, the Payer cannot cancel the Payment Order after the Payment Order has been submitted for execution, the Payer has granted the payment initiation service provider the Consent to initiate a Payment Transaction or the Payer has granted the Recipient the Consent to perform the Payment Transaction;
the Payment Orders may be cancelled until the end of a business day of Montify, one day before the agreed day.
upon expiry of the terms stipulated in clauses 8.4.1 to 8.4.3 of the Agreement, a Payment Order may be cancelled only if the Customer (Payer) and Montify agree on this. In the cases stipulated in clause 8.4.2 of the Agreement, the Consent of the Recipient is also necessary.
When a Payment Transaction is initiated by the Recipient or through the Recipient by performing the Payment Transaction using a payment card, and when the exact amount of the transaction is unknown at the time when the Payer gives his/ her Consent to execute the Payment Transaction, Montify may reserve the funds in the Payer's Account only provided the Payer gives their consent to reserve a specific amount. Upon receipt of information on the exact amount of the Payment Transaction, Montify shall immediately, and not later than immediately upon receipt of the Payment Order, remove the reservation from the Payer's Account.
Montify shall credit funds to an Account and debit funds from an Account according to the Unique identifier provided in the Payment Order - the Montify account number or IBAN Account number. Montify has the right, but not the obligation, to check whether the Unique identifier given in the Payment Order received by Montify corresponds to the name and surname (legal entity name) of the Account owner. In case the mentioned Unique identifier is given to Montify to debit money from or credit money to the Account, the Payment Order is deemed executed appropriately if it has been executed by the indicated Unique identifier. If Montify verifies the Payment Order and establishes an obvious discrepancy between the Unique identifier provided to Montify and the name and surname (legal entity name) of the Account owner, Montify has the right to refuse to execute such Payment Transaction.
Provided Montify receives a Payment Order to transfer money to the payment account of another provider of Payment services, such Payment Transaction is performed by Montify according to the Unique identifier provided in the received Payment Order- the account number of the Recipient in IBAN format, except when the provider of Payment services does not use the IBAN account format. Montify does not hold the responsibility if the Unique identifier is not provided in the Payment Order or it is incorrect, and/or the provider of payment services of the Recipient has set a different Unique identifier for appropriate execution of such Payment Transaction (crediting of money to the payment account of the Recipient).
If necessary and/or required by institutions of other states, Montify has the right to receive additional information (e.g., the name and surname or name of the legal entity of the Recipient, a payment code) required for the appropriate execution of the Payment Order.

if the Customer fails to complete the necessary identification procedures, or submit information required by Montify, or the Customer provides information that does not conform to the requirements stipulated by legislation or Montify, or doubts concerning the veracity and authenticity of submitted documents arise to Montify, also if Montify has reasonable suspicion that the Customer does not observe the requirements set forth in Article 9 of the Agreement;
if, due to further provision of services and activity of the Customer, justified interests of third parties may be harmed.
if, due to objectively justified reasons related to the safety of funds in the Account and/or the Payment Instrument, unauthorised or fraudulent use of funds in the Account and/or the Payment Instrument is suspected.

This measure is also applied in cases where Montify has a law enforcement order to return frozen funds to the primary payer.

In case of reasonable suspicion by Montify that the Account or the Account of the Customer has been hacked, Montify has the right to partially or completely suspend provision of services to the Customer without prior notice. In such case, Montify will inform the Customer about the suspension and provide further information on actions that have to be performed by the Customer in order to resume provision of services to the Customer.
Montify cancels blockage of the Account and/or Payment Instrument (or replaces it with a new Payment Instrument) when causes for blockage of the Account and/or Payment Instrument cease to exist.
The Account and/or the Payment Instrument may be blocked at the initiative of the Customer if the Customer submits an appropriate request to Montify and informs Montify that the Payment Instrument of the Customer has been stolen or lost, or funds on the Account and/or the Payment Instrument are used or may be used illegally.

In case of termination of the Agreement, Montify deducts from the Account of the Customer money amounts payable for Montify Services provided to the Customer, also fines, forfeits, losses, and other amounts paid to third parties or the state, which Montify has incurred due to the fault of the Customer. In case the amount of funds in the Montify Account(s) of the Customer is insufficient to cover all payable amounts specified in this clause, the Customer undertakes to transfer the provided amounts to the account of Montify within 3 (three) business days.
Termination of the General Agreement does not exempt the Customer from appropriate execution of all liabilities to Montify that were applicable towards the Customer before the termination.
After terminating the Agreement between Montify and the Customer, the Customer shall choose a means for redemption of electronic money from the Account of the Customer. In case the Identification level of the Customer does not comply with the level necessary to redeem all electronic money, the Customer shall choose another identification level and perform the required actions to change the Identification level.

In such cases, Montify shall inform the Customer about the refusal to grant access to the Account and indicate the reasons for such action. This information should be provided to the Customer prior to refusal to grant access to the Account, if possible, and not later than upon refusal to grant it, unless the provision of such information could weaken the safety measures or was prohibited under legislation.
