We use those details as the unique identifier to determine the intended recipient of the payment which you instruct us to process. Other information you provide along with the recipient’s means of identification may be disregarded and we shall not be liable for any error you make when entering the recipient’s means of identification.
9.4. If the e-mail address of the intended recipient is registered with us, the funds will be instantly credited to the flykk® Account associated with that e-mail address. Once funds are credited to the recipient’s flykk® Account, the transaction becomes irreversible.

This list is not exhaustive, and we may in our sole discretion decide to discontinue or restrict our services in other countries at any time and without prior notice. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your flykk® Account at any time if we reasonably believe to be required to do so by law or in order to comply with recommendations issued by a relevant government authority or recognised body for the prevention of financial crime.
11.4. It is strictly forbidden to use your flykk® Account for any illegal purposes including but not limited to fraud and money laundering.

It is your and not our responsibility to ensure that you only send payments to or receive payments from persons or entities for the sale or supply of goods and services that you may provide or receive in compliance with any applicable laws and regulations. The mere fact that a person or entity accepts payments through us is not an indication of the legality of the supply or provision of their goods and services. If you are in doubt as to the legality of a supply or purchase, you should not continue with your payment.
12. Withdrawing funds by means of Electronic Money Redemption (where enabled) You can request a redemption of electronic money and withdrawal of all, or part of the funds held in your flykk® Account at any time. To do this you must log into your flykk® Account and select a withdrawal method and enter the amount to be withdrawn. Withdrawal methods are payment services provided, at least in part, by third party financial institutions (for example, the bank where you hold a bank or card account). We do not guarantee the availability of any particular withdrawal method and may make changes to or discontinue a particular withdrawal method at any time without following the procedure set out in section 17 as long as there is at least one withdrawal method available to you. Where the withdrawal payment is received by you through the involvement of a payment service provider (such as the bank where you hold a bank or card account), we shall not be responsible for the withdrawal payment once the withdrawn funds are received by your payment service provider.
12.1. Your flykk® Account is subject to redemption/withdrawal limits. These limits are adjusted dynamically depending on the type of identification documentation we hold on you. You can view your withdrawal limits at any time in your flykk® Account profile. Before uploading any funds into your flykk® Account, you must ensure that your current withdrawal and spending limits meet your withdrawal and spending requirements as we legally cannot allow you to exceed these limits.
12.2. If your redemption/ withdrawal request exceeds the current limit, we may decline your request and instead require you to send us documents verifying your identity and address prior to allowing a withdrawal of funds or to otherwise cooperate with us to verify your identity.
12.3. Redemption/withdrawals are subject to fees including currency conversion fees (if applicable). Please see section 13 for details and the applicable fees.
12.4. For the purposes of a redemption/withdrawal transaction, we are a payer and not a payment service provider.
12.5. You must not make a redemption/withdrawal to a bank account or other Payment Method if you are not the named holder. We take any violation of this requirement very seriously and will treat any attempt to use a Payment Method of which you are not the named holder as a fraudulent act. Without prejudice to claiming further damages, if we are required to investigate a withdrawal to a Payment Method that is not in your name, we may charge an administration fee of up to 10 EUR.
12.6. You must ensure that the payment details you enter when withdrawing funds are correct and complete. We will not be liable for withdrawn funds being sent to the wrong account where this is due to you providing incorrect payment details. When withdrawing to a bank account, you must ensure that the account number, sort code, IBAN and/or BIC/SWIFT are correct. If you have withdrawn funds to the wrong account, you may request that we assist you in reclaiming the funds. However, we will charge you an administration fee of up to €25 for doing so and we cannot guarantee that the reclaim efforts will be successful.
13. Fees (https://www.flykk.it/fees)
13.1. Fees depend on what features you are using of your flykk® Account. Transaction related fees can be viewed at any time in the "Fees" section of our Website. Additional fees apply to flykk® Accounts used for commercial purposes in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions referred to in section 4.7 above. You should print or download and keep a copy of the "Fees" section together with a copy of these Terms of Use. For clarity, the "Fees" section forms part of these Terms of Use. Fees are subject to change in accordance with section 17. Under certain circumstances we may charge additional fees as set out in sections 8.3, 8.9, 8.12, 11.6, 12.6 and 12.7. Your transactions may be subject to currency conversions. If you make a payment from your flykk® Account denominated in one currency to a flykk® Account denominated in another currency, you will be asked to either make the payment in the currency of your flykk® Account or in another currency. If you choose the currency of your flykk® Account, then the recipient will pay the fee for the conversion into the currency of his or her flykk® Account. If you choose the currency of the recipient’s flykk® Account, you will pay the fee for the conversion into the currency of the payment. If you choose a currency that is neither the currency of your flykk® Account nor the currency of the recipient’s flykk® Account then you will pay the fee for the conversion into the currency ofthe payment, and the recipient will pay the fee for the conversion of the payment currency into the currency of his or her flykk® Account.
13.2. For every currency conversion, we will apply the average daily interbank market rate published by a third-party foreign currency data provider (Reuters) to which we add as service fee of 30bps and a foreign exchange fee, which is displayed in the "Fees" section of the Website. The foreign exchange fee is payable in addition to the transaction fee. Where we charge fees to you in EUR, we won't apply a foreign exchange fee but will convert the amount in EUR to the currency of your flykk® Account at the applicable wholesale exchange rate
13.3. Our Fees are either expressed as a percentage of the transaction or as a fixed amount in EUR. Where fixed fee amounts are displayed in a currency other than EUR, this is for information purposes only. If fees are deducted from a balance or a transaction denominated in a different currency, the EUR fee amount will be converted into an equivalent fee in that other currency based on the flykk® wholesale exchange rates applicable at the time and (as displayed on the “ Fees" section of the Website under the "Currency Conversion Fees" and then deducted. We will not apply a foreign exchange fee on currency conversions of fees
13.4. Fees payable by you will be deducted from your flykk® Account balance and you hereby authorise us to do the same. Transaction fees will be charged when the transaction is executed. Fees will not be returned if the transaction failed due to incorrect recipient account details being entered by You. If your flykk® Account balance is insufficient to cover the fees, we may refuse to execute the payment. Reversal or chargeback fees will be deducted when incurred.
13.5. If the deduction of fees results in a negative flykk® Account balance, you will be required to repay such negative balance by uploading sufficient funds into your flykk® Account. Failure to do so is a breach of these Terms of Use. Repayment of the negative balance is due immediately without notice. However, we reserve the right at any time to send you reminders that you need to upload funds or to take other debt collection measures including but not limited to instructing a debt collection agency or solicitors or to pursue the claim in court. We reserve the right to charge you expenses we have reasonably incurred in connection with any debt collection or enforcement efforts.
