SUMMARY OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
What is a Flexepin Voucher?
Flexepin is a prepaid voucher that lets you make online payments or top-up existing online accounts held with Participating Merchants. It effectively enables a payment and/or top-up option for use online at websites. Because Flexepin Vouchers are prepaid, the risk of having your identity and banking information exposed online when using this method of payment is vastly reduced. This makes it safer than conventional online payment methods. Your Flexepin Voucher will display a numeric Personal Identification Number (PIN), which you need to enter on your chosen Merchant Website to redeem the voucher.
How do I purchase a Flexepin Voucher?
You can purchase Flexepin Vouchers through Approved Distributors at preselected Retail Outlets such as newsagents, convenience stores, petrol stations and travel kiosks, or through Approved Distributors online. The Flexepin Vouchers can be purchased in various pre-determined amounts. Only companies that have contracted with the Processor are authorised to distribute Flexepin Vouchers. (For a list of Approved Distributors, you can visit our Website and use our store locator (www.flexepin.com/sales_outlet_finder/).
Where can I spend my Flexepin Vouchers?
You can use your Flexepin Vouchers at any of our Participating Merchants’ Websites. Participating Merchants means any business or other organisation that has a contract with the Processor to integrate the Flexepin payment scheme into its payment processing system and operates under the Processor’s rules. Since our Participating Merchants List is growing daily, before spending your Flexepin Voucher, you should be sure that a Merchant Website is genuine. (For a list of Participating Merchants, you can visit (www.flexepin.com use the “Check Merchant feature”).
You may use your Flexepin Voucher as often as you like to load funds and purchase goods and/or services up to a total of the Value.
Who can spend the Flexepin Vouchers and how do you spend the Flexepin Vouchers?
Per these terms and conditions only you are permitted to spend your Flexepin Voucher online and you are responsible for the security and integrity of your Flexepin Voucher PIN, therefore, for your protection, you must not disclose, transfer or assign the Flexepin Voucher PIN to any third party. Any disclosure or part disclosure of the Flexepin Voucher PIN will severely compromise the security and integrity of your Flexepin Voucher PIN and you could lose the Value of funds associated with your Flexepin Voucher PIN
The Flexepin Voucher may require activation. It can be used at any time after purchase, subject to activation (if required) until 12 months from the date of purchase from an Approved Distributor
When you present a valid Voucher PIN for payment at a Participating Merchant Website or any other electronic channel, subject to any terms and conditions as may be required by such Merchant, the Processor will provide an online validation of the PIN which enables the confirmation of your payment. Once the Processor has advised a Participating Merchant that a submitted Flexepin Voucher PIN and amount is validated, the Processor has no means of subsequently withdrawing such validation and amount will be considered redeemed and cannot be used again.
There is a risk that you will lose the value of a Flexepin Voucher if the Voucher PIN is lost, stolen or made known to another person. The Processor will cancel lost or stolen Voucher PINs upon request as long as they remain unredeemed.
Each time the Flexepin Voucher is used to top-up an existing account or purchase goods and/or services from a Participating Merchant’s Website, the Balance will be immediately reduced by the Transaction Amount charged by the Participating Merchant.
A validated transaction cannot be revoked.
How long are the Flexepin Vouchers valid for?
All Flexepin Vouchers are valid for 12 months from the date of purchase from an Approved Distributor.
Each Flexepin Voucher has a Use By Date. Printed on your Flexepin Voucher is either the Use by Date or a message stating that your Flexepin Voucher will expire one year from the date of purchase. If you do not use your Flexepin Voucher within one year from the date of purchase, you will be unable to use that Voucher in a transaction with an Approved Merchant.
However, the unused Value of such a Flexepin Voucher may be transferred to a new Flexepin Voucher on or before the ‘Use by Date’ or you may apply for a refund up to six years from the end of this Agreement (Validity Period).
After the ‘Use By Date’, the Processor will charge a Maintenance Fee of €2.50 , or the equivalent amount in other currencies, which will be deducted from the Balance of your Flexepin Voucher.
Your refund may also be subject to a Redemption Fee of €18 or the equivalent amount in other currency (please refer to the relevant section below).
Further details are provided in the full Terms and Conditions set out after this summary.
Am I entitled to cancel my Flexepin Voucher and request a refund?
The Processor allows a ’14 Day Cooling-Off Period’, from the Issue Date, during which you can request a refund free of charge provided the Flexepin Voucher is unused.
After that, you may at any time request a refund of the remaining funds on your Flexepin Voucher. A Redemption Fee of€18 will be applied if the refund is requested on or before the Use by Date. The Redemption Fee also applies for refund requests made after the 12-month period following the Use by Date.
The Redemption Fee DOES NOT apply for refund requests made in the 12-month period starting after the Use by Date.
Further details are provided in the full Terms and Conditions set out after this summary.
Your Flexepin Voucher will constitute your proof of purchase, therefore, make sure you keep the original purchased Voucher or your PIN in electronic form as it was transmitted, if the Authorised Distributor is an electronic retailer. You may be asked to provide identification and further documentation to verify your identity to our reasonable satisfaction (KYC).
Are there any additional Fees?
If your Flexepin Voucher has not been used on or before the Use by Date, a Maintenance Fee of €2.50 per month will be deducted from your remaining Balance.
If you request a refund after the Use by Date and a Redemption Fee is payable, this Redemption Fee will apply in addition to the monthly Maintenance Fee.
Further details are provided in the full Terms and Conditions set out after this summary.

11.3 If you choose to terminate this Agreement, we will block your Flexepin Voucher within the next Business Day (Monday to Friday-standard Business Hours), so it cannot be used, and the refund process will have to be followed in order to get your money back. You will not be entitled to redemption of money that you have already spent on goods and/or services.
12.1. The Processor may change these Terms and Conditions if we reasonably consider it necessary to do so. If we do, we shall give 60 days’ notice before such change is made. All notices and changes will be posted on the Website. You should check the Website regularly for such notices and changes. It is agreed that you shall be deemed to have consented to the modification if you do not indicate your rejection in writing before the proposed date of entry into force of the modification. If you do not object to the modifications in writing within 60 days of the notification, the modifications shall be deemed to have been accepted and shall become an effective part of our contract. You are entitled to terminate our contract before the date of entry into force of the modification with immediate effect. Simply expanding the functionality or introducing new services shall not affect a contract amendment.

12.2.1. where we reasonably consider it will make the Terms and Conditions easier to understand or fairer to you or the change would not be to your disadvantage; or
12.2.2. to reflect any changes in the cost of providing our services to you (where the change made will reflect the change in costs to us); or
12.2.3. to take account of a regulatory requirement; or
12.2.4. because of changes to Applicable Law, codes of practice or the way in which we are regulated.
12.3. We may change our fees and charges or introduce a new fee or charge if there is a change in (or we reasonably expect that there will be a change in):
12.3.1. The costs we incur in carrying out the activity for which the fee or charge is or will be made; or
12.3.2. Regulatory requirements.
12.4. Any change or new fee or charge will be a fair proportion, as reasonably estimated by us, of the impact of the underlying change on the costs we incur in our business.
12.4.1. Any changes will be notified on our Website and will take effect 60 days after the date of posting on the Website (or shorter if required by law) and shall apply to your use of the Flexepin Voucher service after that 60-day period.
12.5. You are deemed to accept any changes made unless, before the proposed changes are due to come into effect, you tell us that you want to terminate your Agreement with us and not accept the change. In this case you will be able to terminate your Agreement free of charge.
12.6 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Processor reserves the right to make amendments without prior notice where such amendments are required immediately for purposes of maintaining or restoring security of the Flexepin Voucher or the Website, or in order to comply with the law or a direction from a relevant Government regulator. We may also, where required by the law or direction from a relevant Government regulator, cancel or suspend any features or services of the Flexepin Voucher without prior notice.
12.6.1. For the avoidance of doubt, these terms shall apply to vouchers issued on or after. 1st of July 2018

The Processor will use reasonable endeavours to minimise any periods during which the system is unavailable and where possible will post notice on its website www.Flexepin.com of such suspension.
14.1. The Processor makes no warranty or representation, either express or implied, as to the suitability or fitness for purpose of the Flexepin Voucher system in relation to any specific customer requirements, needs or particular circumstances.
14.2. The Flexepin Voucher system is a payment method of loading value and/or purchasing online goods and/or services.
Accordingly, unless we tell you otherwise:
14.2.1. the Processor gives no warranty, makes no representation and disclaims all liability to the fullest extent permitted by law with respect to the quality, availability, legality, delivery or any other aspect of your dealings with Participating Merchants; and
14.2.2. the process by which the Processor authorises merchants to accept payment through the Flexepin payment system does not involve any assumption of responsibility or investigation by the Processor as to those merchants’ dealings with any particular consumers and you therefore deal with Participating Merchants entirely at your own risk. Any grievance you may have with a Participating Merchant must be pursued with that merchant and not with the Processor.
15.1. You acknowledge that the Processor is solely providing a payment service and that some limitation of liability on the Processor’ part is reasonable and customary in an Agreement such as this.
15.2. Accordingly, you agree that the Processor shall not be liable for:
15.2.1. Any validation provided by the Processor not being acted upon by a Participating Merchant where the Participating Merchant’s failure to act does not result from our wrongful act or omission; or
15.2.2. Any delay or failure to carry out the Processor’s obligations under this Agreement arising from any abnormal and unforeseeable event outside our control where the consequences would have been unavoidable despite all our efforts to the contrary.
15.3 Some Merchant Websites may not authorise you to combine a payment of a Flexepin Voucher with another method of payment. We cannot accept any liability for such refusals.
15.4 The Processor shall only be liable to you for direct and actual damages which were caused by the Processor’ own willful misconduct or gross negligence or the willful misconduct of gross negligence of our agents, where applicable. Subject to any mandatory statutory requirement, in no event shall the amount of our liability exceed the Transaction Amount, nor shall the Processor be liable for any indirect (including, but not limited to, loss of profit and/or data), incidental, consequential, exemplary, punitive or special damages, regardless of how they arise. We shall not be liable in any manner for any goods or services paid for with a Flexepin Voucher.
15.4. The Deposit Guarantee Scheme is not applicable to Flexepin Vouchers. No other compensation schemes exist to cover losses claimed in connection with a Flexepin Voucher.
15.5 Any unredeemed funds on your Flexepin Vouchers are being treated in accordance with the Directive (EU) 2015/2366 (PSD2) and the Directive 2014/49/EU of the European Parliament and the European Council of 16 April 2014.
16.1. You shall be liable for any damage caused by any conduct of yours that is in violation of these Terms and Conditions. Therefore, you will be liable for any amount the Processor loses or has to pay arising from any third-party claim resulting from your misuse of the Flexepin Voucher system, or for harm suffered directly or indirectly by the Processor as a result of your breach or non-observance of your obligations under this Agreement.
17.1. The Processor adheres to the EU General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR). The Flexepin Privacy Policy and information about our use of cookies can be viewed on our website www.flexepin.com
17.2. As a regulated entity by the Central Bank of Cyprus , the Processor is required to hold Customer data for a minimum of 5 years, after which all such data will be destroyed. Any personal data will be held securely in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and the Flexepin Privacy Policy published at www.Flexepin.com and used for audit purposes only.
18.1. This Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Malta and Maltese courts will deal with any legal proceedings between us. Communications and notifications shall be made in English.
18.2. The Processor reserves the right to assign, subcontract, novate or transfer its obligations hereunder to any third party (a “third party transferee”) without your consent provided that we will only assign or transfer such obligations if, in our reasonable opinion:
18.2.1. The third-party transferee to whom we make the transfer is capable of performing this Agreement; and
18.2.2. The way in which you are treated under this Agreement will not be affected in an important way by, or following, that transfer.
18.3. Where we assign or transfer (including by declaration of trust) all or any part of our rights and/or obligations under this Agreement to a third-party transferee, references in this Agreement to “we”, “us” and “our” shall be references to that third-party transferee.
18.4. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to create any rights that are enforceable by any person who is not a party to this Agreement, unless otherwise stated.
18.5. If any clause or part of any clause of this Agreement shall be found to be illegal or unenforceable, then the validity and enforceability of the remainder of the Agreement shall not be adversely affected.
18.6. Any delay or failure by you or the Processor to enforce or pursue any remedy or right hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver of that remedy or right and, unless we tell you otherwise in the case of the Processor not exercising or enforcing a right or remedy, will not prevent that right or remedy from subsequently being exercised or enforced.
18.7. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between us relating to the provision of the Flexepin Voucher system and supersedes any previous agreements and understandings between us relating thereto.
