In return for the Payment Services performed, the Employer will pay Skipr the fees agreed upon with Skipr, and Skipr will be responsible for passing them on to Treezor in the amounts agreed between them. It is expressly agreed that the revocation of a Payment Order and the provision of information, in particular as provided for in Article 7 hereof, may result in the collection of specific fees.
The Employer expressly authorises Treezor to proceed to the payment of all the fees due by the Employer and payable under the Terms and Conditions by debiting its Payment Account.
The Parties agree that the reciprocal debts of Treezor and the Employer resulting from the performance of the Terms and Conditions will automatically be converted into simple credit and debit items within the limit of the available provision on the Payment Account. After offsetting, these debits and credits form a net credit or zero balance in the Payment Account. In the absence of sufficient funds in the Payment Account, the amount remaining due by the Employer after offsetting is entered on the statement of his Payment Account on a specific line corresponding to a payable debt.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employer and Treezor agree to offset any liquid, payable and reciprocal debt resulting from the performance of the Terms and Conditions or any other contract.
Treezor may also exercise a right of retention on all sums, bills and values deposited with it by the Employer, until payment of any balance and, more generally, of any other sums owed by the Employer to Treezor and Skipr.
Before being able to submit a request to open a Payment Account, the Employer confirms that it has legal capacity and is resident in a Member State of the European Union or in a State party to the European Economic Area.
Any request to open a Payment Account requires the Employer to enter the requested identification elements through the onboarding process put in place by Skipr or to transmit them by any other means. The Employer authorises Skipr to transmit to Treezor the information and Personal Data concerning the Employer and the users necessary to create this request, the list of which is given in Appendix. Treezor reserves the right to request any other document or additional information, in particular to enable it to carry out the checks required to comply with its legal obligations, including those relating to the fight against money laundering. The Employer agrees that Skipr may send all such information and documents to Treezor by computer transmission on Treezor's computer systems or by post.
Treezor carries out additional due diligence within the meaning of article R.561-20 of the Monetary and Financial Code when the conditions for application of this article are met. This will include document verification and certification measures.
Treezor may, at its own discretion and without having to justify its decision, refuse any request to open a Payment Account. This decision can in no case give rise to damages. It will be notified by email to Skipr and to the Employer.
If Treezor accepts the Employer's request, it will confirm to the Employer, by any means through Skipr, that it accepts the opening of the Payment Account.
To finalise the opening of its Payment Account, the Employer must create a Profile in order to be authenticated, using an Identifier, a confidential code and/or a single-use code when transmitting an Order, in accordance with these Terms and Conditions and the authentication procedures in force.
Treezor is responsible for maintaining the Payment Account and executing the associated Payment Transactions.
Payment Transactions are executed by:
The Payment Account is held in euros. Treezor and Skipr do not have any premises or counters and cannot offer the Employer the possibility of carrying out cash transactions, deposits or withdrawals at a counter in its network. No overdrafts may be authorised. Thus, in the event of a Payment Transaction executed in the absence of sufficient funds, Skipr will notify by any means the amount due by the Employer and its obligation to credit his Payment Account, as soon as possible, with an amount sufficient to settle said amount and any intervention costs that may be due.
The Employer must give its consent by identifying itself and following the Strong Authentication procedure so that Treezor can execute a Payment Transaction or a series of Payment Transactions. However, consent to the execution of a Payment Transaction may also be given by mandating a Payment Service Provider providing a Payment Initiation Service. In the absence of such consent, the Transaction or series of Transactions is considered to be unauthorised.
The Employer may:
- access the data of its Payment Account through a Payment Service Provider of its choice providing the account information service (online service consisting of providing consolidated information concerning one or more of the Employer's accounts opened with one or more financial institutions),
- initiate a Payment Transaction (transfer), through a Payment Service Provider providing a Payment Initiation Service.
The Employer must give its express consent to the Payment Account information provider for access to the data of the Payment Account and expressly agree to the execution of the Payment Transaction through the payment initiation provider.
These service providers must be licensed or registered in accordance with the regulations in force.
However, Treezor or Skipr may deny a Payment Service Provider providing an account information or Payment Initiation Service access to the Employer's Payment Account on the basis of objectively justified or documented reasons relating to unauthorised or fraudulent access to the account by that provider, including unauthorised or fraudulent initiation of a Payment Transaction.
In such cases, Skipr and/or Treezor inform(s) the Employer of the refusal of access to the Payment Account and the reasons for such refusal. This information is, if possible, given to the Employer before access is refused and at the latest immediately after such refusal, unless the provision of this information is not communicable for objectively justified security reasons or is prohibited under another provision of European Union law or relevant national law.
Skipr allows access to the Payment Account as soon as the reasons mentioned above no longer exist.
The Employer may give Payment Orders by transfer in euros from its Payment Account to a bank or payment account opened in the books of a SEPA Payment Service Provider. To this end, the Employer identifies and authenticates itself before transmitting its Payment Order, indicating in particular:
The Parties acknowledge that, unless expressly agreed by Treezor, the Employer and each Card holder may only issue SEPA transfers governed by a common set of rules and practices defined by the European Institutions and the EPC. It is denominated and executed in euros between two (2) banks or payment accounts opened by SEPA Payment Service Providers.
The procedures for transmitting Payment Orders set out above have the same value as an electronic signature of the Employer or Card holder allowing their identification and proving their consent.
The Employer acknowledges that such Payment Orders constitute irrevocable Payment Orders given to Treezor to transfer the funds to the Beneficiary's Payment Service Provider as from the date of their receipt by Treezor. The Employer's or concerned Card holder’s revocation of their Payment Order may be accepted if it is received before receipt of the Order by Treezor for immediate execution transfers and before 10 am on the Business Day before the execution date for forward transfers.
Where the Payment Order is given by a Payment Service Provider providing a Payment Initiation Service, the Employer or concerned Card holder may not revoke that Payment Order after having given their consent for the Payment Service Provider providing the Payment Initiation Service to initiate the Payment Transaction.
All transfer Payment Orders are time-stamped and kept for the legal retention period in force. It is expressly agreed that transfers will be executed at the latest at the end of the Business Day following receipt of the request for immediate transfer and on the agreed execution date for forward or standing transfers or the next Business Day if that date is not a Business Day. A Payment Order received on a Business Day after 10:00 am is deemed to be received on the next Business Day.
Treezor may be required to refuse to execute an incomplete or incorrect transfer Payment Order. The Employer or concerned Card holder will have to re-issue the Payment Order to bring it into compliance. In addition, Treezor may block a transfer Payment Order in the event, in particular, of serious suspicion of fraudulent use of the Payment Account, unauthorised use of the Payment Account, breach of the security of the Payment Account, in the event of a freezing of assets by an administrative authority or in the event of insufficient funds on the Payment Account.
The Employer expressly authorises Treezor to receive on its Account Payment Transactions by transfer from an account opened by a SEPA Zone Payment Service Provider in euros.
Treezor collects the funds in the name and on behalf of the Employer and credits the Employer's Payment Account as soon as possible after the funds have been credited to its own account, except in the event of a legal provision applicable to Treezor requiring its intervention. After the funds have been posted to the Employer's Payment Account, the Employer receives a payment summary containing the following information: amount, date and time, number of the Payment Transaction, name of the Payer, the account debited and the Beneficiary, the reason received by Treezor.
The funds transferred result from card Payment Orders given by the Card holder with their Card. Only "CB" or approved "CB", Visa or MasterCard cards that allow the transfer of funds by card from account to account by the holder of said accounts are accepted by Treezor under these conditions.
The Employer acknowledges that it will act as acceptor in receiving funds from the card networks. The Employer undertakes to comply with all applicable provisions defined by law, regulations, professional standards or the contractual provisions of the card networks that may be applicable. The Employer acknowledges that it may be subject to sanctions or fines in the event of non-compliance with these rules.
Treezor credits the Employer's Payment Account no later than the Business Day on which its own account was credited with the funds. The Employer receives a payment summary from Skipr containing the following information: amount, date and time, Payment Transaction number and reference number transmitted by the Employer.
In the event of the Employer's failure to comply with the obligations herein or with the laws in force, Treezor or Skipr may take safeguard and security measures. Treezor or Skipr may thus send a warning to the Employer, which serves as formal notice and specifies the measures to be taken to remedy the breach. Treezor or Skipr may also automatically decide, with immediate effect, to suspend the Payment Account in the event of failure to comply with the provisions hereof or in the event of violation of the legislation on the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing or any other legislation applicable to it.
It is specified that a Card Payment Order may be the subject of a request for reimbursement by the debtor to its Payment Service Provider within thirteen (13) months following the Payment Transaction, resulting in the automatic reversal of the debit entry on the Employer's Payment Account by Treezor at the request of Skipr. The Employer undertakes to accept such a reversal.
Treezor executes Payment Orders for the Card(s) associated with the Employer's Payment Account. The conditions of allocation and operation of the Card(s) are set out in the Card terms and conditions, available on the Website and on the Application.
Card Accounts are technical accounts in euros or in the Foreign Currency of the Payment Account used for the execution of Payment Transactions made with the Card. The funds credited to Card Accounts are dedicated to the execution of Card Payment Transactions. The Card Accounts must have sufficient funds in Foreign Currency or in euros before the Employer transmits the Card Payment Order.
With regard to Foreign Currencies, the foreign exchange transaction is carried out on condition that the Employer has sufficient funds in euros in its Payment Account. The conversion into Foreign Currency is carried out by Treezor on the day the Transaction is processed and at the exchange rate obtained by Treezor.
A statement of the Payment Transactions recorded in the Payment Account is sent or made accessible to the Employer on a monthly basis by Skipr in order to facilitate the monitoring of the Payment Account. This monthly statement will be deemed authentic between the Parties. The statement must detail the Payment Transactions charged to the Payment Account and include all transactions made by Cards in order to facilitate the monitoring of the Account. The Payment Transaction statement contains the following information: transaction amount, exchange rate applied, amount of Card Payment Transactions in Foreign Currency. The statement also shows the Card Account balance.
It is recommended that the Employer keep the Payment Account statements in case of dispute and systematically check the contents of the statement. A summary statement of fees will be made available monthly by Skipr.
As soon as the Employer becomes aware of a theft or loss of its data, it must request the blocking of its Payment Account as soon as possible. Declarations of fraudulent use of the Payment Account or loss or theft of the mobile phone must be made by email or telephone to Customer Service. They must be confirmed by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt sent to Customer Service. The Employer is informed that any false declaration in connection with these Terms and Conditions is liable to the penalties provided for by law.
A registration number of this opposition is communicated to the Employer and is kept for eighteen (18) months by the Employer.
The request for opposition is immediately taken into account by Skipr, who communicates it as soon as possible to Treezor in order to block the Payment Account. Treezor cannot be held responsible for the consequences of an opposition not issued by the Employer. The request for opposition is deemed to be made on the date of actual receipt of the request by Treezor or any person appointed by it for this purpose. In the event of theft or fraudulent use, Treezor is entitled to request a receipt or a copy of the complaint from the Employer, who undertakes to reply as soon as possible.
In addition, Treezor may block the use of the Payment Account at its own initiative for reasons relating to its security, in the event of presumed unauthorised or fraudulent use and in the event of a significantly increased risk of the Employer being unable to fulfil his payment obligation. This decision is reasoned and notified to the Employer by any means. If a Payment Account receives a significant number of refunds, cancellations of orders or disputes for unauthorised orders, Treezor may block the operation of the Payment Account.
Claims relating to commercial relations between the Employer, a Payer or a Beneficiary are not admissible with Treezor. Only those relating to the absence or improper execution of a Payment Order given by the Employer to Treezor are covered by this Article and by the Terms and Conditions.
If a Payment Transaction is executed by Treezor with errors due to the fault of the latter, the debit of the Payment Account is cancelled and the Payment Account is restored to the situation it was in before the receipt of the Payment Order concerned. Subsequently, the Payment Order is correctly represented.
The Employer who wishes to dispute a Payment Transaction not authorised by it must contact the Customer Complaints Service of Treezor as soon as possible and within a maximum period of thirteen (13) months from the date of debit of the disputed payment order to the account on which the card operates.
However, the maximum period during which the Employer may dispute a Payment Transaction is set at seventy (70) days from the date on which the disputed payment order is debited from the Payment Account, when the Beneficiary's Payment Service Provider is located outside the European Economic Area.
It is specified that any dispute that has not been formulated without delay will only be admissible in the event of a delay duly justified by the Employer.
After validation of the legitimacy of the request, Treezor will immediately after becoming aware of the Payment Transaction, and at the latest at the end of the first following Business Day, reimburse the Payment Transaction unless it has good reason to suspect fraudulent conduct on the part of the Employer.
Where the unauthorised Payment Transaction has been initiated through a Payment Service Provider providing a Payment Initiation Service, Treezor will immediately, and at the latest by the end of the first following Business Day, reimburse the Payment Transaction. Treezor will restore the Payment Account to the situation it was in if the disputed Payment Transaction had never been carried out.
Disputes concerning the price of goods or services purchased are not admissible with Treezor. Only those relating to a Payment Transaction are covered by this Article. Treezor remains unaffected by any dispute that may arise between the Employer and a third party. The existence of such a dispute can in no way justify the Employer's refusal to honour the settlement of a Payment Transaction.
In the event of a dispute by the Employer within thirteen (13) months of the debit of the Payment Account, it is up to Treezor to prove that the Payment Transaction was authorised under the conditions laid down in the Terms and Conditions. In the absence of proof by Treezor that the Payment Transaction has been authorised, Treezor will immediately, after becoming aware of the Payment Transaction and at the latest at the end of the first following Business Day, reimburse the Payment Transaction unless it has good reason to suspect fraudulent conduct on the part of the Employer.
Where the unauthorised Payment Transaction has been initiated through a Payment Service Provider providing a Payment Initiation Service, Treezor will immediately, and at the latest by the end of the first following Business Day, reimburse the Payment Transaction. Treezor will restore the Payment Account, in the form of a temporary credit, to the situation it was in if the disputed Payment Transaction had never been carried out.
The Employer may send Treezor a request for reimbursement of a Payment Transaction ordered through the Beneficiary and authorised by the Employer if the authorisation given did not indicate the exact amount of the Payment Transaction and if the amount of the transaction exceeded the amount that the Payer could reasonably expect. This request must be made within eight (8) weeks of the date on which the funds were debited from the Payment Account and cover the entire Transaction. No request for partial reimbursement can be processed by Treezor. The Employer must provide all the elements relating to the reimbursement claimed. Treezor assesses the legitimacy of the request on the basis of these elements, the Profile of the Employer's past expenditure, the conditions of the Agreement and the circumstances of the Transaction. Treezor has ten (10) Business Days from receipt of the request for reimbursement to perform the reimbursement or to justify its refusal to do so.
The Parties agree to take the utmost care in informing each other of the conditions of execution of a suspicious Payment Transaction. Where appropriate, and in particular in the event of fraud or suspected fraud committed by an identified or unidentified third party, Treezor may ask for a copy of the complaint filed.
Each holder of a Card must take all measures to keep their Card and preserve the confidentiality of their Personalised Security Data, in particular their confidential code. To this end, they must use their Personalised Security Data in accordance with the purposes specified in these Terms and Conditions. The Employer assumes the consequences of the use of the Card as long as it has not requested an opposition under the conditions set out in these Terms and Conditions.
Treezor is responsible for the proper execution of Payment Transactions with regard to the Employer. Where the payment order is given by the Employer, Treezor is responsible for the proper execution of the Payment Transaction with regard to the Payer until the amount of the Payment Transaction is received. Then, the Beneficiary's Payment Service Provider is responsible for the proper execution of the Payment Transaction with regard to the Beneficiary. Furthermore, neither Treezor nor Skipr can be held liable for any losses caused by unauthorised Payment Transactions in the event of fraudulent conduct on the part of the Employer, fault on the part of the Employer such as a wilful or grossly negligent breach of its obligations (such as, in particular, late submission of the opposition) or any Card holder that the Employer is responsible for.
1. Unauthorised transactions prior to the opposition request
In the event of unauthorised Payment Transactions resulting from the loss or theft of the Card or the Personalised Security Data associated with it, the Employer bears the losses related to the use of the Personalised Security Data associated with the Card prior to the opposition described in these Terms and Conditions, within the limit of fifty (50) euros.
However, the Employer is not liable for Payment Transactions carried out:
However, when the Beneficiary's Payment Service Provider is located in a State that is not a member of the European Union or a party to the agreement on the European Economic Area, Payment Transactions resulting from the loss or theft of the Card are borne by the Employer within the limit of fifty (50) euros in the case of Payment Transactions carried out without the use of Personalised Security Data.
2. Unauthorised operations carried out after the opposition request
Unauthorised Payment Transactions carried out after the opposition request are borne by Treezor, with the exception of those carried out by the Card holder.
As an exception, all unauthorised Payment Transactions are charged to the Card holder, with no limit on the amount, if:
A Payment Transaction is not considered to be unauthorised or improperly executed if the goods or services it covers are not delivered or executed under the conditions laid down by the Beneficiary of the Transaction. Therefore, these Payment Transactions may not be the subject of a request for reimbursement from Treezor or Skipr.
Treezor or Skipr will define the maximum ceilings applicable to the Employer for each of the Payment Transactions on his Payment Account. These ceilings will be communicated to the Employer on its Profile and may be modified at any time by Treezor subject to one (1) month's notice. Nevertheless, Treezor or Skipr may, at any time and without prior notice, reduce the amount of the authorised ceilings to zero in the event of a risk of fraud or non-payment. Treezor or Skipr will in no event be liable for any damage that may result for the Employer from the refusal to authorise a Payment Transaction under this Article.
The amount of the ceilings applied can be consulted by the Employer on its Profile. They will be defined by Transaction or by period (per day, per week, per month and per year).
The Employer is informed that Payment Transactions exceeding one of these ceilings will be automatically refused by Treezor. To request authorisation for such a Transaction, the Employer is invited to contact Skipr or Treezor.
These Terms and Conditions shall apply for an undetermined duration as from their acceptation by the Parties.
Treezor and Skipr reserve the right to amend the Terms and Conditions at any time.
Any proposed amendment following changes in the regulations applicable to the Terms and Conditions is notified to the Employer by Treezor, before the date of application proposed for its entry into force, following a notice period of fifteen (15) days from said notification to the Employer.
In the absence of a written objection by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt sent to Treezor by the Employer before the expiry of this fifteen (15) day period, the Employer is deemed to have accepted these changes. In the event that the proposed amendment is not accepted within the specified time limit, the Employer may terminate the use of the Payment Services upon written request, free of charge, prior to the proposed effective date of the amendment. This request does not affect all debits (fees, contributions, payment) for which the Employer remains liable.
In the event of an amendment of the Terms and Conditions which is not due to changes in the regulations applicable to the Terms and Conditions, the proposed amendment of the Terms and Conditions is notified to the Employer, prior to the date of application proposed for its entry into force, following a notice period of two (2) months from said notification to the Employer.
In the absence of a written objection by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt sent to Treezor by the Employer before the expiry of this fifteen (15) day period, the Employer is deemed to have accepted these changes. In the event that the proposed amendment is not accepted within the specified time limit, the Employer may terminate the use of Payment Services upon written request, free of charge, prior to the proposed effective date of the amendment.
This request does not affect all debits (fees, contributions, payment) for which the Employer remains liable.
The Employer may request the resolution of its agreement with Skipr and Treezor at any time. This request must be formalised by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt sent to Skipr.
The Employer must maintain a balance sufficient to ensure the proper completion of current Payment Transactions for the time necessary to settle them and the payment of the fees due under the Terms and Conditions.
In the event of serious breach by a Party, the agreement between the Parties may be terminated with immediate effect by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt. The resolution will take effect from the date of receipt of said letter by the other Parties.
Serious breaches by the Employer are understood to mean: providing false information, carrying out illegal or immoral activities, suspicion of money laundering or terrorist financing, threats against employees of Treezor, non-payment, failure to comply with one of his obligations hereunder, excessive debt, closure of his Profile.
Serious breaches by Treezor are understood to mean: communication of false information, failure to comply with an obligation under the Terms and Conditions, appointment of a receiver, appointment of a judicial administrator, opening of receivership or liquidation proceedings.
In the event of a change in the applicable regulations and the interpretation thereof by the regulatory authority concerned affecting the capacity of Treezor or its agents to provide Payment Services, the Terms and Conditions will be automatically terminated by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt. The resolution will take effect from the date of receipt of said letter by the other Parties.
The Payment Account will be closed on the effective date of termination provided that all amounts due under the Terms and Conditions have been paid by the Employer. This resolution entails the termination of the Terms and Conditions and does not call into question the services previously performed or in progress on the Effective Date.

Treezor may, at its own discretion and without having to justify its decision, refuse any request to open a Payment Account. This decision can in no case give rise to damages. It will be notified by email to Skipr and to the Employer.
If Treezor accepts the Employer's request, it will confirm to the Employer, by any means through Skipr, that it accepts the opening of the Payment Account.
To finalise the opening of its Payment Account, the Employer must create a Profile in order to be authenticated, using an Identifier, a confidential code and/or a single-use code when transmitting an Order, in accordance with these Terms and Conditions and the authentication procedures in force.
Treezor is responsible for maintaining the Payment Account and executing the associated Payment Transactions.
Payment Transactions are executed by:
The Payment Account is held in euros. Treezor and Skipr do not have any premises or counters and cannot offer the Employer the possibility of carrying out cash transactions, deposits or withdrawals at a counter in its network. No overdrafts may be authorised. Thus, in the event of a Payment Transaction executed in the absence of sufficient funds, Skipr will notify by any means the amount due by the Employer and its obligation to credit his Payment Account, as soon as possible, with an amount sufficient to settle said amount and any intervention costs that may be due.
The Employer must give its consent by identifying itself and following the Strong Authentication procedure so that Treezor can execute a Payment Transaction or a series of Payment Transactions. However, consent to the execution of a Payment Transaction may also be given by mandating a Payment Service Provider providing a Payment Initiation Service. In the absence of such consent, the Transaction or series of Transactions is considered to be unauthorised.
The Employer may:
- access the data of its Payment Account through a Payment Service Provider of its choice providing the account information service (online service consisting of providing consolidated information concerning one or more of the Employer's accounts opened with one or more financial institutions),
- initiate a Payment Transaction (transfer), through a Payment Service Provider providing a Payment Initiation Service.
The Employer must give its express consent to the Payment Account information provider for access to the data of the Payment Account and expressly agree to the execution of the Payment Transaction through the payment initiation provider.
These service providers must be licensed or registered in accordance with the regulations in force.
However, Treezor or Skipr may deny a Payment Service Provider providing an account information or Payment Initiation Service access to the Employer's Payment Account on the basis of objectively justified or documented reasons relating to unauthorised or fraudulent access to the account by that provider, including unauthorised or fraudulent initiation of a Payment Transaction.
In such cases, Skipr and/or Treezor inform(s) the Employer of the refusal of access to the Payment Account and the reasons for such refusal. This information is, if possible, given to the Employer before access is refused and at the latest immediately after such refusal, unless the provision of this information is not communicable for objectively justified security reasons or is prohibited under another provision of European Union law or relevant national law.
Skipr allows access to the Payment Account as soon as the reasons mentioned above no longer exist.
The Employer may give Payment Orders by transfer in euros from its Payment Account to a bank or payment account opened in the books of a SEPA Payment Service Provider. To this end, the Employer identifies and authenticates itself before transmitting its Payment Order, indicating in particular:
The Parties acknowledge that, unless expressly agreed by Treezor, the Employer and each Card holder may only issue SEPA transfers governed by a common set of rules and practices defined by the European Institutions and the EPC. It is denominated and executed in euros between two (2) banks or payment accounts opened by SEPA Payment Service Providers.
The procedures for transmitting Payment Orders set out above have the same value as an electronic signature of the Employer or Card holder allowing their identification and proving their consent.
The Employer acknowledges that such Payment Orders constitute irrevocable Payment Orders given to Treezor to transfer the funds to the Beneficiary's Payment Service Provider as from the date of their receipt by Treezor. The Employer's or concerned Card holder’s revocation of their Payment Order may be accepted if it is received before receipt of the Order by Treezor for immediate execution transfers and before 10 am on the Business Day before the execution date for forward transfers.
Where the Payment Order is given by a Payment Service Provider providing a Payment Initiation Service, the Employer or concerned Card holder may not revoke that Payment Order after having given their consent for the Payment Service Provider providing the Payment Initiation Service to initiate the Payment Transaction.
All transfer Payment Orders are time-stamped and kept for the legal retention period in force. It is expressly agreed that transfers will be executed at the latest at the end of the Business Day following receipt of the request for immediate transfer and on the agreed execution date for forward or standing transfers or the next Business Day if that date is not a Business Day. A Payment Order received on a Business Day after 10:00 am is deemed to be received on the next Business Day.
Treezor may be required to refuse to execute an incomplete or incorrect transfer Payment Order. The Employer or concerned Card holder will have to re-issue the Payment Order to bring it into compliance. In addition, Treezor may block a transfer Payment Order in the event, in particular, of serious suspicion of fraudulent use of the Payment Account, unauthorised use of the Payment Account, breach of the security of the Payment Account, in the event of a freezing of assets by an administrative authority or in the event of insufficient funds on the Payment Account.
The Employer expressly authorises Treezor to receive on its Account Payment Transactions by transfer from an account opened by a SEPA Zone Payment Service Provider in euros.
Treezor collects the funds in the name and on behalf of the Employer and credits the Employer's Payment Account as soon as possible after the funds have been credited to its own account, except in the event of a legal provision applicable to Treezor requiring its intervention. After the funds have been posted to the Employer's Payment Account, the Employer receives a payment summary containing the following information: amount, date and time, number of the Payment Transaction, name of the Payer, the account debited and the Beneficiary, the reason received by Treezor.
The funds transferred result from card Payment Orders given by the Card holder with their Card. Only "CB" or approved "CB", Visa or MasterCard cards that allow the transfer of funds by card from account to account by the holder of said accounts are accepted by Treezor under these conditions.
The Employer acknowledges that it will act as acceptor in receiving funds from the card networks. The Employer undertakes to comply with all applicable provisions defined by law, regulations, professional standards or the contractual provisions of the card networks that may be applicable. The Employer acknowledges that it may be subject to sanctions or fines in the event of non-compliance with these rules.
Treezor credits the Employer's Payment Account no later than the Business Day on which its own account was credited with the funds. The Employer receives a payment summary from Skipr containing the following information: amount, date and time, Payment Transaction number and reference number transmitted by the Employer.
In the event of the Employer's failure to comply with the obligations herein or with the laws in force, Treezor or Skipr may take safeguard and security measures. Treezor or Skipr may thus send a warning to the Employer, which serves as formal notice and specifies the measures to be taken to remedy the breach. Treezor or Skipr may also automatically decide, with immediate effect, to suspend the Payment Account in the event of failure to comply with the provisions hereof or in the event of violation of the legislation on the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing or any other legislation applicable to it.
It is specified that a Card Payment Order may be the subject of a request for reimbursement by the debtor to its Payment Service Provider within thirteen (13) months following the Payment Transaction, resulting in the automatic reversal of the debit entry on the Employer's Payment Account by Treezor at the request of Skipr. The Employer undertakes to accept such a reversal.
Treezor executes Payment Orders for the Card(s) associated with the Employer's Payment Account. The conditions of allocation and operation of the Card(s) are set out in the Card terms and conditions, available on the Website and on the Application.
Card Accounts are technical accounts in euros or in the Foreign Currency of the Payment Account used for the execution of Payment Transactions made with the Card. The funds credited to Card Accounts are dedicated to the execution of Card Payment Transactions. The Card Accounts must have sufficient funds in Foreign Currency or in euros before the Employer transmits the Card Payment Order.
With regard to Foreign Currencies, the foreign exchange transaction is carried out on condition that the Employer has sufficient funds in euros in its Payment Account. The conversion into Foreign Currency is carried out by Treezor on the day the Transaction is processed and at the exchange rate obtained by Treezor.
A statement of the Payment Transactions recorded in the Payment Account is sent or made accessible to the Employer on a monthly basis by Skipr in order to facilitate the monitoring of the Payment Account. This monthly statement will be deemed authentic between the Parties. The statement must detail the Payment Transactions charged to the Payment Account and include all transactions made by Cards in order to facilitate the monitoring of the Account. The Payment Transaction statement contains the following information: transaction amount, exchange rate applied, amount of Card Payment Transactions in Foreign Currency. The statement also shows the Card Account balance.
It is recommended that the Employer keep the Payment Account statements in case of dispute and systematically check the contents of the statement. A summary statement of fees will be made available monthly by Skipr.
As soon as the Employer becomes aware of a theft or loss of its data, it must request the blocking of its Payment Account as soon as possible. Declarations of fraudulent use of the Payment Account or loss or theft of the mobile phone must be made by email or telephone to Customer Service. They must be confirmed by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt sent to Customer Service. The Employer is informed that any false declaration in connection with these Terms and Conditions is liable to the penalties provided for by law.
A registration number of this opposition is communicated to the Employer and is kept for eighteen (18) months by the Employer.
The request for opposition is immediately taken into account by Skipr, who communicates it as soon as possible to Treezor in order to block the Payment Account. Treezor cannot be held responsible for the consequences of an opposition not issued by the Employer. The request for opposition is deemed to be made on the date of actual receipt of the request by Treezor or any person appointed by it for this purpose. In the event of theft or fraudulent use, Treezor is entitled to request a receipt or a copy of the complaint from the Employer, who undertakes to reply as soon as possible.
In addition, Treezor may block the use of the Payment Account at its own initiative for reasons relating to its security, in the event of presumed unauthorised or fraudulent use and in the event of a significantly increased risk of the Employer being unable to fulfil his payment obligation. This decision is reasoned and notified to the Employer by any means. If a Payment Account receives a significant number of refunds, cancellations of orders or disputes for unauthorised orders, Treezor may block the operation of the Payment Account.
Claims relating to commercial relations between the Employer, a Payer or a Beneficiary are not admissible with Treezor. Only those relating to the absence or improper execution of a Payment Order given by the Employer to Treezor are covered by this Article and by the Terms and Conditions.
If a Payment Transaction is executed by Treezor with errors due to the fault of the latter, the debit of the Payment Account is cancelled and the Payment Account is restored to the situation it was in before the receipt of the Payment Order concerned. Subsequently, the Payment Order is correctly represented.
The Employer who wishes to dispute a Payment Transaction not authorised by it must contact the Customer Complaints Service of Treezor as soon as possible and within a maximum period of thirteen (13) months from the date of debit of the disputed payment order to the account on which the card operates.
However, the maximum period during which the Employer may dispute a Payment Transaction is set at seventy (70) days from the date on which the disputed payment order is debited from the Payment Account, when the Beneficiary's Payment Service Provider is located outside the European Economic Area.
It is specified that any dispute that has not been formulated without delay will only be admissible in the event of a delay duly justified by the Employer.
After validation of the legitimacy of the request, Treezor will immediately after becoming aware of the Payment Transaction, and at the latest at the end of the first following Business Day, reimburse the Payment Transaction unless it has good reason to suspect fraudulent conduct on the part of the Employer.
Where the unauthorised Payment Transaction has been initiated through a Payment Service Provider providing a Payment Initiation Service, Treezor will immediately, and at the latest by the end of the first following Business Day, reimburse the Payment Transaction. Treezor will restore the Payment Account to the situation it was in if the disputed Payment Transaction had never been carried out.
Disputes concerning the price of goods or services purchased are not admissible with Treezor. Only those relating to a Payment Transaction are covered by this Article. Treezor remains unaffected by any dispute that may arise between the Employer and a third party. The existence of such a dispute can in no way justify the Employer's refusal to honour the settlement of a Payment Transaction.
In the event of a dispute by the Employer within thirteen (13) months of the debit of the Payment Account, it is up to Treezor to prove that the Payment Transaction was authorised under the conditions laid down in the Terms and Conditions. In the absence of proof by Treezor that the Payment Transaction has been authorised, Treezor will immediately, after becoming aware of the Payment Transaction and at the latest at the end of the first following Business Day, reimburse the Payment Transaction unless it has good reason to suspect fraudulent conduct on the part of the Employer.
Where the unauthorised Payment Transaction has been initiated through a Payment Service Provider providing a Payment Initiation Service, Treezor will immediately, and at the latest by the end of the first following Business Day, reimburse the Payment Transaction. Treezor will restore the Payment Account, in the form of a temporary credit, to the situation it was in if the disputed Payment Transaction had never been carried out.
The Employer may send Treezor a request for reimbursement of a Payment Transaction ordered through the Beneficiary and authorised by the Employer if the authorisation given did not indicate the exact amount of the Payment Transaction and if the amount of the transaction exceeded the amount that the Payer could reasonably expect. This request must be made within eight (8) weeks of the date on which the funds were debited from the Payment Account and cover the entire Transaction. No request for partial reimbursement can be processed by Treezor. The Employer must provide all the elements relating to the reimbursement claimed. Treezor assesses the legitimacy of the request on the basis of these elements, the Profile of the Employer's past expenditure, the conditions of the Agreement and the circumstances of the Transaction. Treezor has ten (10) Business Days from receipt of the request for reimbursement to perform the reimbursement or to justify its refusal to do so.
The Parties agree to take the utmost care in informing each other of the conditions of execution of a suspicious Payment Transaction. Where appropriate, and in particular in the event of fraud or suspected fraud committed by an identified or unidentified third party, Treezor may ask for a copy of the complaint filed.
Each holder of a Card must take all measures to keep their Card and preserve the confidentiality of their Personalised Security Data, in particular their confidential code. To this end, they must use their Personalised Security Data in accordance with the purposes specified in these Terms and Conditions. The Employer assumes the consequences of the use of the Card as long as it has not requested an opposition under the conditions set out in these Terms and Conditions.
Treezor is responsible for the proper execution of Payment Transactions with regard to the Employer. Where the payment order is given by the Employer, Treezor is responsible for the proper execution of the Payment Transaction with regard to the Payer until the amount of the Payment Transaction is received. Then, the Beneficiary's Payment Service Provider is responsible for the proper execution of the Payment Transaction with regard to the Beneficiary. Furthermore, neither Treezor nor Skipr can be held liable for any losses caused by unauthorised Payment Transactions in the event of fraudulent conduct on the part of the Employer, fault on the part of the Employer such as a wilful or grossly negligent breach of its obligations (such as, in particular, late submission of the opposition) or any Card holder that the Employer is responsible for.
1. Unauthorised transactions prior to the opposition request
In the event of unauthorised Payment Transactions resulting from the loss or theft of the Card or the Personalised Security Data associated with it, the Employer bears the losses related to the use of the Personalised Security Data associated with the Card prior to the opposition described in these Terms and Conditions, within the limit of fifty (50) euros.
However, the Employer is not liable for Payment Transactions carried out:
However, when the Beneficiary's Payment Service Provider is located in a State that is not a member of the European Union or a party to the agreement on the European Economic Area, Payment Transactions resulting from the loss or theft of the Card are borne by the Employer within the limit of fifty (50) euros in the case of Payment Transactions carried out without the use of Personalised Security Data.
2. Unauthorised operations carried out after the opposition request
Unauthorised Payment Transactions carried out after the opposition request are borne by Treezor, with the exception of those carried out by the Card holder.
As an exception, all unauthorised Payment Transactions are charged to the Card holder, with no limit on the amount, if:
A Payment Transaction is not considered to be unauthorised or improperly executed if the goods or services it covers are not delivered or executed under the conditions laid down by the Beneficiary of the Transaction. Therefore, these Payment Transactions may not be the subject of a request for reimbursement from Treezor or Skipr.
Treezor or Skipr will define the maximum ceilings applicable to the Employer for each of the Payment Transactions on his Payment Account. These ceilings will be communicated to the Employer on its Profile and may be modified at any time by Treezor subject to one (1) month's notice. Nevertheless, Treezor or Skipr may, at any time and without prior notice, reduce the amount of the authorised ceilings to zero in the event of a risk of fraud or non-payment. Treezor or Skipr will in no event be liable for any damage that may result for the Employer from the refusal to authorise a Payment Transaction under this Article.
The amount of the ceilings applied can be consulted by the Employer on its Profile. They will be defined by Transaction or by period (per day, per week, per month and per year).
The Employer is informed that Payment Transactions exceeding one of these ceilings will be automatically refused by Treezor. To request authorisation for such a Transaction, the Employer is invited to contact Skipr or Treezor.
These Terms and Conditions shall apply for an undetermined duration as from their acceptation by the Parties.
Treezor and Skipr reserve the right to amend the Terms and Conditions at any time.
Any proposed amendment following changes in the regulations applicable to the Terms and Conditions is notified to the Employer by Treezor, before the date of application proposed for its entry into force, following a notice period of fifteen (15) days from said notification to the Employer.
In the absence of a written objection by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt sent to Treezor by the Employer before the expiry of this fifteen (15) day period, the Employer is deemed to have accepted these changes. In the event that the proposed amendment is not accepted within the specified time limit, the Employer may terminate the use of the Payment Services upon written request, free of charge, prior to the proposed effective date of the amendment. This request does not affect all debits (fees, contributions, payment) for which the Employer remains liable.
In the event of an amendment of the Terms and Conditions which is not due to changes in the regulations applicable to the Terms and Conditions, the proposed amendment of the Terms and Conditions is notified to the Employer, prior to the date of application proposed for its entry into force, following a notice period of two (2) months from said notification to the Employer.
In the absence of a written objection by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt sent to Treezor by the Employer before the expiry of this fifteen (15) day period, the Employer is deemed to have accepted these changes. In the event that the proposed amendment is not accepted within the specified time limit, the Employer may terminate the use of Payment Services upon written request, free of charge, prior to the proposed effective date of the amendment.
This request does not affect all debits (fees, contributions, payment) for which the Employer remains liable.
The Employer may request the resolution of its agreement with Skipr and Treezor at any time. This request must be formalised by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt sent to Skipr.
The Employer must maintain a balance sufficient to ensure the proper completion of current Payment Transactions for the time necessary to settle them and the payment of the fees due under the Terms and Conditions.
In the event of serious breach by a Party, the agreement between the Parties may be terminated with immediate effect by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt. The resolution will take effect from the date of receipt of said letter by the other Parties.
Serious breaches by the Employer are understood to mean: providing false information, carrying out illegal or immoral activities, suspicion of money laundering or terrorist financing, threats against employees of Treezor, non-payment, failure to comply with one of his obligations hereunder, excessive debt, closure of his Profile.
Serious breaches by Treezor are understood to mean: communication of false information, failure to comply with an obligation under the Terms and Conditions, appointment of a receiver, appointment of a judicial administrator, opening of receivership or liquidation proceedings.
In the event of a change in the applicable regulations and the interpretation thereof by the regulatory authority concerned affecting the capacity of Treezor or its agents to provide Payment Services, the Terms and Conditions will be automatically terminated by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt. The resolution will take effect from the date of receipt of said letter by the other Parties.
The Payment Account will be closed on the effective date of termination provided that all amounts due under the Terms and Conditions have been paid by the Employer. This resolution entails the termination of the Terms and Conditions and does not call into question the services previously performed or in progress on the Effective Date. The Employer will no longer be able to transmit a Payment Order as of the effective date of termination. The Payment Account may be maintained for a period of fifteen (15) months in order to cover any subsequent disputes and claims. Payment Transactions initiated prior to the effective date of termination will not be affected by the termination request and must be executed under the terms of the Terms and Conditions.
Skipr will notify to the Employer the name of a successor appointed to Treezor to provide services equivalent to those provided for in the Terms and Conditions. The Employer will be invited to enter into a new contract with the designated successor. For this purpose, it must confirm in writing to Treezor the transfer of the funds belonging to them, the amount and date of which will be notified to the Employer.
When the Employer creates a Payment Account, it undertakes to comply with all the provisions of the Terms and Conditions.
The Employer warrants that the information in its Profile is accurate on the day of the request to open the Payment Account and undertakes to update it as soon as possible following any changes throughout the term of the Terms and Conditions. Where applicable, Treezor and Skipr will not be liable for any damage that may result from an inaccuracy or a change if it has not been notified by the Employer.
The Employer undertakes to keep the confidential code or any other code to access or use its Payment Account secret. In the event of unauthorised use of the Payment Account by a third party, the Employer will bear the losses resulting from fraudulent conduct on its part, intentional breach or gross negligence in the performance of its obligations under the Terms and Conditions.
The Employer undertakes to operate its Payment Account in compliance with monetary and tax legislation or legislation on financial relations with foreign countries, embargoes, the fight against corruption, money laundering and the financing of terrorism, in force in Belgium and in any European Union member country in which Treezor and/or Skipr is established for the conclusion of the Terms and Conditions. In addition, the Employer undertakes to carry out only activities that comply with the regulations applicable to it. It will pay any fine, sanction or damages borne by Treezor and/or Skipr and resulting from an activity of the Employer which is illegal, unlawful or immoral.

The Parties acknowledge that Payment Orders transmitted in accordance with these Terms and Conditions and recorded by Treezor are deemed to be authorised by the Employer and duly authenticated. Proof of this authentication may be provided by reproducing on a computer medium the use of the technical means assigned for this purpose to the Employer.

area within which the Employer may use pan-European payment means as defined by the European Payment Council and available on the website www.europeanpaymentscouncil.eu, including in particular the Member States of the European Economic Area to which is added for the purposes hereof Switzerland, Iceland, Norway, San Marino.
In return for the Payment Services performed, the Employer will pay Skipr the fees agreed upon with Skipr, and Skipr will be responsible for passing them on to Treezor in the amounts agreed between them. It is expressly agreed that the revocation of a Payment Order and the provision of information, in particular as provided for in Article 7 hereof, may result in the collection of specific fees.
The Employer expressly authorises Treezor to proceed to the payment of all the fees due by the Employer and payable under the Terms and Conditions by debiting its Payment Account.
The Parties agree that the reciprocal debts of Treezor and the Employer resulting from the performance of the Terms and Conditions will automatically be converted into simple credit and debit items within the limit of the available provision on the Payment Account. After offsetting, these debits and credits form a net credit or zero balance in the Payment Account. In the absence of sufficient funds in the Payment Account, the amount remaining due by the Employer after offsetting is entered on the statement of his Payment Account on a specific line corresponding to a payable debt.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employer and Treezor agree to offset any liquid, payable and reciprocal debt resulting from the performance of the Terms and Conditions or any other contract.
Treezor may also exercise a right of retention on all sums, bills and values deposited with it by the Employer, until payment of any balance and, more generally, of any other sums owed by the Employer to Treezor and Skipr.
Before being able to submit a request to open a Payment Account, the Employer confirms that it has legal capacity and is resident in a Member State of the European Union or in a State party to the European Economic Area.
Any request to open a Payment Account requires the Employer to enter the requested identification elements through the onboarding process put in place by Skipr or to transmit them by any other means. The Employer authorises Skipr to transmit to Treezor the information and Personal Data concerning the Employer and the users necessary to create this request, the list of which is given in Appendix. Treezor reserves the right to request any other document or additional information, in particular to enable it to carry out the checks required to comply with its legal obligations, including those relating to the fight against money laundering. The Employer agrees that Skipr may send all such information and documents to Treezor by computer transmission on Treezor's computer systems or by post.
Treezor carries out additional due diligence within the meaning of article R.561-20 of the Monetary and Financial Code when the conditions for application of this article are met. This will include document verification and certification measures.
Treezor may, at its own discretion and without having to justify its decision, refuse any request to open a Payment Account. This decision can in no case give rise to damages. It will be notified by email to Skipr and to the Employer.
If Treezor accepts the Employer's request, it will confirm to the Employer, by any means through Skipr, that it accepts the opening of the Payment Account.
To finalise the opening of its Payment Account, the Employer must create a Profile in order to be authenticated, using an Identifier, a confidential code and/or a single-use code when transmitting an Order, in accordance with these Terms and Conditions and the authentication procedures in force.
Treezor is responsible for maintaining the Payment Account and executing the associated Payment Transactions.
Payment Transactions are executed by:
The Payment Account is held in euros. Treezor and Skipr do not have any premises or counters and cannot offer the Employer the possibility of carrying out cash transactions, deposits or withdrawals at a counter in its network. No overdrafts may be authorised. Thus, in the event of a Payment Transaction executed in the absence of sufficient funds, Skipr will notify by any means the amount due by the Employer and its obligation to credit his Payment Account, as soon as possible, with an amount sufficient to settle said amount and any intervention costs that may be due.
The Employer must give its consent by identifying itself and following the Strong Authentication procedure so that Treezor can execute a Payment Transaction or a series of Payment Transactions. However, consent to the execution of a Payment Transaction may also be given by mandating a Payment Service Provider providing a Payment Initiation Service. In the absence of such consent, the Transaction or series of Transactions is considered to be unauthorised.
The Employer may:
- access the data of its Payment Account through a Payment Service Provider of its choice providing the account information service (online service consisting of providing consolidated information concerning one or more of the Employer's accounts opened with one or more financial institutions),
- initiate a Payment Transaction (transfer), through a Payment Service Provider providing a Payment Initiation Service.
The Employer must give its express consent to the Payment Account information provider for access to the data of the Payment Account and expressly agree to the execution of the Payment Transaction through the payment initiation provider.
These service providers must be licensed or registered in accordance with the regulations in force.
However, Treezor or Skipr may deny a Payment Service Provider providing an account information or Payment Initiation Service access to the Employer's Payment Account on the basis of objectively justified or documented reasons relating to unauthorised or fraudulent access to the account by that provider, including unauthorised or fraudulent initiation of a Payment Transaction.
In such cases, Skipr and/or Treezor inform(s) the Employer of the refusal of access to the Payment Account and the reasons for such refusal. This information is, if possible, given to the Employer before access is refused and at the latest immediately after such refusal, unless the provision of this information is not communicable for objectively justified security reasons or is prohibited under another provision of European Union law or relevant national law.
Skipr allows access to the Payment Account as soon as the reasons mentioned above no longer exist.
The Employer may give Payment Orders by transfer in euros from its Payment Account to a bank or payment account opened in the books of a SEPA Payment Service Provider. To this end, the Employer identifies and authenticates itself before transmitting its Payment Order, indicating in particular:
The Parties acknowledge that, unless expressly agreed by Treezor, the Employer and each Card holder may only issue SEPA transfers governed by a common set of rules and practices defined by the European Institutions and the EPC. It is denominated and executed in euros between two (2) banks or payment accounts opened by SEPA Payment Service Providers.
The procedures for transmitting Payment Orders set out above have the same value as an electronic signature of the Employer or Card holder allowing their identification and proving their consent.
The Employer acknowledges that such Payment Orders constitute irrevocable Payment Orders given to Treezor to transfer the funds to the Beneficiary's Payment Service Provider as from the date of their receipt by Treezor. The Employer's or concerned Card holder’s revocation of their Payment Order may be accepted if it is received before receipt of the Order by Treezor for immediate execution transfers and before 10 am on the Business Day before the execution date for forward transfers.
Where the Payment Order is given by a Payment Service Provider providing a Payment Initiation Service, the Employer or concerned Card holder may not revoke that Payment Order after having given their consent for the Payment Service Provider providing the Payment Initiation Service to initiate the Payment Transaction.
All transfer Payment Orders are time-stamped and kept for the legal retention period in force. It is expressly agreed that transfers will be executed at the latest at the end of the Business Day following receipt of the request for immediate transfer and on the agreed execution date for forward or standing transfers or the next Business Day if that date is not a Business Day. A Payment Order received on a Business Day after 10:00 am is deemed to be received on the next Business Day.
Treezor may be required to refuse to execute an incomplete or incorrect transfer Payment Order. The Employer or concerned Card holder will have to re-issue the Payment Order to bring it into compliance. In addition, Treezor may block a transfer Payment Order in the event, in particular, of serious suspicion of fraudulent use of the Payment Account, unauthorised use of the Payment Account, breach of the security of the Payment Account, in the event of a freezing of assets by an administrative authority or in the event of insufficient funds on the Payment Account.
The Employer expressly authorises Treezor to receive on its Account Payment Transactions by transfer from an account opened by a SEPA Zone Payment Service Provider in euros.
Treezor collects the funds in the name and on behalf of the Employer and credits the Employer's Payment Account as soon as possible after the funds have been credited to its own account, except in the event of a legal provision applicable to Treezor requiring its intervention. After the funds have been posted to the Employer's Payment Account, the Employer receives a payment summary containing the following information: amount, date and time, number of the Payment Transaction, name of the Payer, the account debited and the Beneficiary, the reason received by Treezor.
The funds transferred result from card Payment Orders given by the Card holder with their Card. Only "CB" or approved "CB", Visa or MasterCard cards that allow the transfer of funds by card from account to account by the holder of said accounts are accepted by Treezor under these conditions.
The Employer acknowledges that it will act as acceptor in receiving funds from the card networks. The Employer undertakes to comply with all applicable provisions defined by law, regulations, professional standards or the contractual provisions of the card networks that may be applicable. The Employer acknowledges that it may be subject to sanctions or fines in the event of non-compliance with these rules.
Treezor credits the Employer's Payment Account no later than the Business Day on which its own account was credited with the funds. The Employer receives a payment summary from Skipr containing the following information: amount, date and time, Payment Transaction number and reference number transmitted by the Employer.
In the event of the Employer's failure to comply with the obligations herein or with the laws in force, Treezor or Skipr may take safeguard and security measures. Treezor or Skipr may thus send a warning to the Employer, which serves as formal notice and specifies the measures to be taken to remedy the breach. Treezor or Skipr may also automatically decide, with immediate effect, to suspend the Payment Account in the event of failure to comply with the provisions hereof or in the event of violation of the legislation on the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing or any other legislation applicable to it.
It is specified that a Card Payment Order may be the subject of a request for reimbursement by the debtor to its Payment Service Provider within thirteen (13) months following the Payment Transaction, resulting in the automatic reversal of the debit entry on the Employer's Payment Account by Treezor at the request of Skipr. The Employer undertakes to accept such a reversal.
Treezor executes Payment Orders for the Card(s) associated with the Employer's Payment Account. The conditions of allocation and operation of the Card(s) are set out in the Card terms and conditions, available on the Website and on the Application.
Card Accounts are technical accounts in euros or in the Foreign Currency of the Payment Account used for the execution of Payment Transactions made with the Card. The funds credited to Card Accounts are dedicated to the execution of Card Payment Transactions. The Card Accounts must have sufficient funds in Foreign Currency or in euros before the Employer transmits the Card Payment Order.
With regard to Foreign Currencies, the foreign exchange transaction is carried out on condition that the Employer has sufficient funds in euros in its Payment Account. The conversion into Foreign Currency is carried out by Treezor on the day the Transaction is processed and at the exchange rate obtained by Treezor.
A statement of the Payment Transactions recorded in the Payment Account is sent or made accessible to the Employer on a monthly basis by Skipr in order to facilitate the monitoring of the Payment Account. This monthly statement will be deemed authentic between the Parties. The statement must detail the Payment Transactions charged to the Payment Account and include all transactions made by Cards in order to facilitate the monitoring of the Account. The Payment Transaction statement contains the following information: transaction amount, exchange rate applied, amount of Card Payment Transactions in Foreign Currency. The statement also shows the Card Account balance.
It is recommended that the Employer keep the Payment Account statements in case of dispute and systematically check the contents of the statement. A summary statement of fees will be made available monthly by Skipr.
As soon as the Employer becomes aware of a theft or loss of its data, it must request the blocking of its Payment Account as soon as possible. Declarations of fraudulent use of the Payment Account or loss or theft of the mobile phone must be made by email or telephone to Customer Service. They must be confirmed by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt sent to Customer Service. The Employer is informed that any false declaration in connection with these Terms and Conditions is liable to the penalties provided for by law.
A registration number of this opposition is communicated to the Employer and is kept for eighteen (18) months by the Employer.
The request for opposition is immediately taken into account by Skipr, who communicates it as soon as possible to Treezor in order to block the Payment Account. Treezor cannot be held responsible for the consequences of an opposition not issued by the Employer. The request for opposition is deemed to be made on the date of actual receipt of the request by Treezor or any person appointed by it for this purpose. In the event of theft or fraudulent use, Treezor is entitled to request a receipt or a copy of the complaint from the Employer, who undertakes to reply as soon as possible.
In addition, Treezor may block the use of the Payment Account at its own initiative for reasons relating to its security, in the event of presumed unauthorised or fraudulent use and in the event of a significantly increased risk of the Employer being unable to fulfil his payment obligation. This decision is reasoned and notified to the Employer by any means. If a Payment Account receives a significant number of refunds, cancellations of orders or disputes for unauthorised orders, Treezor may block the operation of the Payment Account.
Claims relating to commercial relations between the Employer, a Payer or a Beneficiary are not admissible with Treezor. Only those relating to the absence or improper execution of a Payment Order given by the Employer to Treezor are covered by this Article and by the Terms and Conditions.
If a Payment Transaction is executed by Treezor with errors due to the fault of the latter, the debit of the Payment Account is cancelled and the Payment Account is restored to the situation it was in before the receipt of the Payment Order concerned. Subsequently, the Payment Order is correctly represented.
The Employer who wishes to dispute a Payment Transaction not authorised by it must contact the Customer Complaints Service of Treezor as soon as possible and within a maximum period of thirteen (13) months from the date of debit of the disputed payment order to the account on which the card operates.
However, the maximum period during which the Employer may dispute a Payment Transaction is set at seventy (70) days from the date on which the disputed payment order is debited from the Payment Account, when the Beneficiary's Payment Service Provider is located outside the European Economic Area.
It is specified that any dispute that has not been formulated without delay will only be admissible in the event of a delay duly justified by the Employer.
After validation of the legitimacy of the request, Treezor will immediately after becoming aware of the Payment Transaction, and at the latest at the end of the first following Business Day, reimburse the Payment Transaction unless it has good reason to suspect fraudulent conduct on the part of the Employer.
Where the unauthorised Payment Transaction has been initiated through a Payment Service Provider providing a Payment Initiation Service, Treezor will immediately, and at the latest by the end of the first following Business Day, reimburse the Payment Transaction. Treezor will restore the Payment Account to the situation it was in if the disputed Payment Transaction had never been carried out.
Disputes concerning the price of goods or services purchased are not admissible with Treezor. Only those relating to a Payment Transaction are covered by this Article. Treezor remains unaffected by any dispute that may arise between the Employer and a third party. The existence of such a dispute can in no way justify the Employer's refusal to honour the settlement of a Payment Transaction.
In the event of a dispute by the Employer within thirteen (13) months of the debit of the Payment Account, it is up to Treezor to prove that the Payment Transaction was authorised under the conditions laid down in the Terms and Conditions. In the absence of proof by Treezor that the Payment Transaction has been authorised, Treezor will immediately, after becoming aware of the Payment Transaction and at the latest at the end of the first following Business Day, reimburse the Payment Transaction unless it has good reason to suspect fraudulent conduct on the part of the Employer.
Where the unauthorised Payment Transaction has been initiated through a Payment Service Provider providing a Payment Initiation Service, Treezor will immediately, and at the latest by the end of the first following Business Day, reimburse the Payment Transaction. Treezor will restore the Payment Account, in the form of a temporary credit, to the situation it was in if the disputed Payment Transaction had never been carried out.
The Employer may send Treezor a request for reimbursement of a Payment Transaction ordered through the Beneficiary and authorised by the Employer if the authorisation given did not indicate the exact amount of the Payment Transaction and if the amount of the transaction exceeded the amount that the Payer could reasonably expect. This request must be made within eight (8) weeks of the date on which the funds were debited from the Payment Account and cover the entire Transaction. No request for partial reimbursement can be processed by Treezor. The Employer must provide all the elements relating to the reimbursement claimed. Treezor assesses the legitimacy of the request on the basis of these elements, the Profile of the Employer's past expenditure, the conditions of the Agreement and the circumstances of the Transaction. Treezor has ten (10) Business Days from receipt of the request for reimbursement to perform the reimbursement or to justify its refusal to do so.
The Parties agree to take the utmost care in informing each other of the conditions of execution of a suspicious Payment Transaction. Where appropriate, and in particular in the event of fraud or suspected fraud committed by an identified or unidentified third party, Treezor may ask for a copy of the complaint filed.
Each holder of a Card must take all measures to keep their Card and preserve the confidentiality of their Personalised Security Data, in particular their confidential code. To this end, they must use their Personalised Security Data in accordance with the purposes specified in these Terms and Conditions. The Employer assumes the consequences of the use of the Card as long as it has not requested an opposition under the conditions set out in these Terms and Conditions.
Treezor is responsible for the proper execution of Payment Transactions with regard to the Employer. Where the payment order is given by the Employer, Treezor is responsible for the proper execution of the Payment Transaction with regard to the Payer until the amount of the Payment Transaction is received. Then, the Beneficiary's Payment Service Provider is responsible for the proper execution of the Payment Transaction with regard to the Beneficiary. Furthermore, neither Treezor nor Skipr can be held liable for any losses caused by unauthorised Payment Transactions in the event of fraudulent conduct on the part of the Employer, fault on the part of the Employer such as a wilful or grossly negligent breach of its obligations (such as, in particular, late submission of the opposition) or any Card holder that the Employer is responsible for.
1. Unauthorised transactions prior to the opposition request
In the event of unauthorised Payment Transactions resulting from the loss or theft of the Card or the Personalised Security Data associated with it, the Employer bears the losses related to the use of the Personalised Security Data associated with the Card prior to the opposition described in these Terms and Conditions, within the limit of fifty (50) euros.
However, the Employer is not liable for Payment Transactions carried out:
However, when the Beneficiary's Payment Service Provider is located in a State that is not a member of the European Union or a party to the agreement on the European Economic Area, Payment Transactions resulting from the loss or theft of the Card are borne by the Employer within the limit of fifty (50) euros in the case of Payment Transactions carried out without the use of Personalised Security Data.
2. Unauthorised operations carried out after the opposition request
Unauthorised Payment Transactions carried out after the opposition request are borne by Treezor, with the exception of those carried out by the Card holder.
As an exception, all unauthorised Payment Transactions are charged to the Card holder, with no limit on the amount, if:
A Payment Transaction is not considered to be unauthorised or improperly executed if the goods or services it covers are not delivered or executed under the conditions laid down by the Beneficiary of the Transaction. Therefore, these Payment Transactions may not be the subject of a request for reimbursement from Treezor or Skipr.
Treezor or Skipr will define the maximum ceilings applicable to the Employer for each of the Payment Transactions on his Payment Account. These ceilings will be communicated to the Employer on its Profile and may be modified at any time by Treezor subject to one (1) month's notice. Nevertheless, Treezor or Skipr may, at any time and without prior notice, reduce the amount of the authorised ceilings to zero in the event of a risk of fraud or non-payment. Treezor or Skipr will in no event be liable for any damage that may result for the Employer from the refusal to authorise a Payment Transaction under this Article.
The amount of the ceilings applied can be consulted by the Employer on its Profile. They will be defined by Transaction or by period (per day, per week, per month and per year).
The Employer is informed that Payment Transactions exceeding one of these ceilings will be automatically refused by Treezor. To request authorisation for such a Transaction, the Employer is invited to contact Skipr or Treezor.
These Terms and Conditions shall apply for an undetermined duration as from their acceptation by the Parties.
Treezor and Skipr reserve the right to amend the Terms and Conditions at any time.
Any proposed amendment following changes in the regulations applicable to the Terms and Conditions is notified to the Employer by Treezor, before the date of application proposed for its entry into force, following a notice period of fifteen (15) days from said notification to the Employer.
In the absence of a written objection by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt sent to Treezor by the Employer before the expiry of this fifteen (15) day period, the Employer is deemed to have accepted these changes. In the event that the proposed amendment is not accepted within the specified time limit, the Employer may terminate the use of the Payment Services upon written request, free of charge, prior to the proposed effective date of the amendment. This request does not affect all debits (fees, contributions, payment) for which the Employer remains liable.
In the event of an amendment of the Terms and Conditions which is not due to changes in the regulations applicable to the Terms and Conditions, the proposed amendment of the Terms and Conditions is notified to the Employer, prior to the date of application proposed for its entry into force, following a notice period of two (2) months from said notification to the Employer.
In the absence of a written objection by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt sent to Treezor by the Employer before the expiry of this fifteen (15) day period, the Employer is deemed to have accepted these changes. In the event that the proposed amendment is not accepted within the specified time limit, the Employer may terminate the use of Payment Services upon written request, free of charge, prior to the proposed effective date of the amendment.
This request does not affect all debits (fees, contributions, payment) for which the Employer remains liable.
The Employer may request the resolution of its agreement with Skipr and Treezor at any time. This request must be formalised by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt sent to Skipr.
The Employer must maintain a balance sufficient to ensure the proper completion of current Payment Transactions for the time necessary to settle them and the payment of the fees due under the Terms and Conditions.
In the event of serious breach by a Party, the agreement between the Parties may be terminated with immediate effect by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt. The resolution will take effect from the date of receipt of said letter by the other Parties.
Serious breaches by the Employer are understood to mean: providing false information, carrying out illegal or immoral activities, suspicion of money laundering or terrorist financing, threats against employees of Treezor, non-payment, failure to comply with one of his obligations hereunder, excessive debt, closure of his Profile.
Serious breaches by Treezor are understood to mean: communication of false information, failure to comply with an obligation under the Terms and Conditions, appointment of a receiver, appointment of a judicial administrator, opening of receivership or liquidation proceedings.
In the event of a change in the applicable regulations and the interpretation thereof by the regulatory authority concerned affecting the capacity of Treezor or its agents to provide Payment Services, the Terms and Conditions will be automatically terminated by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt. The resolution will take effect from the date of receipt of said letter by the other Parties.
The Payment Account will be closed on the effective date of termination provided that all amounts due under the Terms and Conditions have been paid by the Employer. This resolution entails the termination of the Terms and Conditions and does not call into question the services previously performed or in progress on the Effective Date. The Employer will no longer be able to transmit a Payment Order as of the effective date of termination. The Payment Account may be maintained for a period of fifteen (15) months in order to cover any subsequent disputes and claims. Payment Transactions initiated prior to the effective date of termination will not be affected by the termination request and must be executed under the terms of the Terms and Conditions.
Skipr will notify to the Employer the name of a successor appointed to Treezor to provide services equivalent to those provided for in the Terms and Conditions. The Employer will be invited to enter into a new contract with the designated successor. For this purpose, it must confirm in writing to Treezor the transfer of the funds belonging to them, the amount and date of which will be notified to the Employer.
When the Employer creates a Payment Account, it undertakes to comply with all the provisions of the Terms and Conditions.
The Employer warrants that the information in its Profile is accurate on the day of the request to open the Payment Account and undertakes to update it as soon as possible following any changes throughout the term of the Terms and Conditions. Where applicable, Treezor and Skipr will not be liable for any damage that may result from an inaccuracy or a change if it has not been notified by the Employer.
The Employer undertakes to keep the confidential code or any other code to access or use its Payment Account secret. In the event of unauthorised use of the Payment Account by a third party, the Employer will bear the losses resulting from fraudulent conduct on its part, intentional breach or gross negligence in the performance of its obligations under the Terms and Conditions.
The Employer undertakes to operate its Payment Account in compliance with monetary and tax legislation or legislation on financial relations with foreign countries, embargoes, the fight against corruption, money laundering and the financing of terrorism, in force in Belgium and in any European Union member country in which Treezor and/or Skipr is established for the conclusion of the Terms and Conditions. In addition, the Employer undertakes to carry out only activities that comply with the regulations applicable to it. It will pay any fine, sanction or damages borne by Treezor and/or Skipr and resulting from an activity of the Employer which is illegal, unlawful or immoral. In this respect, the Employer undertakes not to carry out or promote the exercise of activities that are criminally punishable such as the endangerment of minors, acts of paedophilia, acts of infringement of works protected by an intellectual property right, failure to respect the protection of Personal Data, breaches of automated data processing systems, acts of money laundering or terrorist financing, failure to comply with the provisions relating to gambling, horse racing, lotteries and the provisions relating to the conditions for exercising regulated professions.
The Parties acknowledge that Payment Orders transmitted in accordance with these Terms and Conditions and recorded by Treezor are deemed to be authorised by the Employer and duly authenticated. Proof of this authentication may be provided by reproducing on a computer medium the use of the technical means assigned for this purpose to the Employer.
In accordance with the legislation in place for the automatic exchange of information in relation to Payment Accounts for tax purposes, Treezor must identify the residence for tax purposes of the Employer and fulfil annual reporting obligations with regard to the French tax administration concerning the declarable accounts of persons not resident for tax purposes in France (including tax carry out diligence in identifying the residence for tax purposes of the Payment Account holder and fulfil annual reporting obligations with regard to the French tax authorities concerning the declarable accounts of persons not resident for tax purposes in France (including Specified U.S. Persons, within the meaning of the FATCA law).

The Employer undertakes to provide Treezor with all the documents and proof relating to their country(ies) of residence for tax purposes.
A Payment Account is deemed inactive in the following cases:

This information will be renewed, as the case may be, for two (2) or nine (9) years and one last time six (6) months before the Account closing date, under the conditions provided for by the regulations.
The assets recorded on the inactive Payment Account are deposited with the Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations after a period of three (3) years in the event of inactive Payment Account, and ten (10) years in other cases, from the date of the last Payment Transaction, excluding the recording of debits by Treezor taking into account all types of fees and commissions.

Pursuant to the provisions of articles L.561-2 et seq. of the Monetary and Financial Code relating to the participation of financial institutions in the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing, Treezor is required to obtain information from the Employer for any transaction or business relationship initiated under the conditions of articles L.561-2 et seq. of the Monetary and Financial Code, in particular, the origin, purpose and destination of the Payment Transaction or the opening of the Payment Account. It must also carry out all the necessary steps to identify the Employer and, where applicable, the beneficial owner.

The Employer recognises that Treezor may be required to set up monitoring systems aimed at combating money laundering and the financing of terrorist activities.
The Employer acknowledges that Treezor may terminate or postpone at any time the opening of the Payment Account or the execution of a Payment Transaction in the absence of sufficient information about its purpose or nature. The Employer is informed that a Payment Transaction carried out hereunder may be subject to the exercise of the right of disclosure of the national financial intelligence unit.
The Employer may, in accordance with regulations, access all information thus communicated, provided that this right of access does not jeopardise the purpose of combating money laundering and the terrorist financing when such Personal Data relates to the Employer and is held within the framework of articles L621-8, L621-9 and L621-10 of the Monetary and Financial Code.
No prosecution based on articles 226-13 and 226-14 of the Penal Code and no civil liability action may be brought or any professional sanction pronounced against Treezor, its managers or employees or against any other person referred to in article L.562-1 of the Monetary and Financial Code who have made in good faith the declarations mentioned in articles L.561-22 of the same Code.

It will keep the Employer informed of the progress of the processing of its complaint. In any event, the Employer will receive a final response no later than thirty-five (35) Business Days following receipt of its complaint by Treezor.
The Parties will not be held liable, or deemed to have failed hereunder, for any delay or non-performance, where the cause of the delay or non-performance is related to an event of force majeure.
The Employer is informed that the funds credited to the Account are protected in accordance with article L.522-17.I of the Monetary and Financial Code and are held in a segregated account opened under the conditions required by the regulations.
