The following activities are restricted at all times:
The requests to provide services (operations) you give us must be unambiguous and executable. You must confirm all operations with your credentials or in any other way we may request (e.g. by signing a hard copy or making a payment order). Such confirmation shall be deemed as your consent to perform the requested operation.
To perform any of the payment services you must complete a payment order and authorise it using the one-time use code ("the OTP code") that is sent to a token generator or mobile phone by way of SMS.
The authorised payment order is deemed to be received immediately.
The submission of a payment order is considered your consent to perform a payment transaction and cannot be withdrawn.
You can find what information we require from you to perform an operation by selecting Payments in our online portal and selecting a relevant option. Required information is marked with a red asterisk.
You must ensure that your request is in accordance with the law, these terms and other relevant requirements or practices applicable to that request.
We will not debit your payment account before we receive your consent.
A payment transaction shall be understood to be authorised when you have provided consent as set out in this agreement. We may, however, in some circumstances agree with you that consent is given after the payment transaction has been executed.
Until we have received your consent, you may withdraw it at any time by sending us a signed message. Payment orders may not be revoked after we have received them. Our cut-off time for receipt of payment orders is between 8 am and 2 pm in London. If we received the order after that time, it will be deemed to have been received on the next business day.
Payment orders initiated by a payment initiation service provider, or by or through the payee, cannot be revoked by you once you have given the payment initiation service provider or your payee your consent to initiate the payment transaction.
If we agree that a payment order shall only be deemed to have been received on an agreed date, you may revoke it by the end of a business day before the agreed day.
Upon revocation of consent, PayAlly may charge the you for the costs incurred by the revocation in accordance with the provisions of the Fees.
When you make payment, we will endeavour that the payment transaction is credited to the payee’s payment service provided on the next business day for any payment transaction:
executed wholly via SEPA across the qualifying area and involving only one currency conversion between the euro and sterling, provided that:
Any other transaction will be credited by the end of the fourth business day.
If you are a payee, we will value date and credit the amount of the transaction on the date of receipt of the funds.
These execution times may vary depending on the cut-off times of our correspondent banking partners and subject to there being no queries from us or the correspondent banking partners about the transactions.
We are liable to you for the correct execution of the payment transaction you make unless we can prove to you or, if applicable, your payee’s payment institution that your payee’s payment institution has received the amount in accordance with the Payment Services Regulations 2017. If we are liable, we will refund to you the amount of the non-executed or defective payment transaction and, where applicable, restore the debited payment account to the state in which it would have been had the defective payment transaction not taken place.

This does not apply to the situations where:
You must take all reasonable steps to keep safe your security credentials. It is your responsibility to regularly monitor your payment account and inform us of any unauthorised transactions, inconsistencies, fraud or concerns.
You may request us and we will immediately and without charge make efforts to trace any non-executed or defectively executed payment transaction and notify you of the outcome.
Where a payment order is executed in accordance with the unique identifier, the payment order is deemed to have been correctly executed.
We are not liable for non-execution or defective execution of the payment transaction where the unique identifier provided by you is incorrect. We will, however:
If you have received funds from someone who had used an incorrect unique identifier, we will co-operate with the payer’s payment service provider in its efforts to recover the funds, in particular by providing to the payer’s payment service provider all relevant information for the collection of funds.
If you had sent the funds using an incorrect unique identifier and we are unable to recover the funds we will, if you request by way of a signed message via our online portal, provide to you all available relevant information in order for you to claim repayment of the funds.
You may request a refund within eight weeks from the date on which the funds were debited for the full amount of any authorised payment transaction initiated by you if:
The right to a refund does not apply if you have given us consent directly for the payment transaction to be executed or if information on the payment transaction was provided or made available to the you for at least four weeks before the due date by us or by the payee.
If you make a payment that is initiated by or through a payee, you may in certain circumstances request a refund. If you do, we may request further information from you. We will then provide you a refund or let you know why we cannot refund the funds to you within ten business days.
We will be unable to refund any funds, if any of your losses were incurred because you have acted fraudulently or if you failed, either deliberately or due to gross negligence, to use any payment instrument, in accordance with its conditions, or in the event of loss, theft or misappropriation, failed to notify us without undue delay as soon as you became aware of it.
