About Us

  1. We hold a permit granted by the Czech National Bank to carry out the activity of an electronic money institution within the meaning of pertinent provisions of Czech Act No. 284/2009 Coll., which makes provision with respect to the payment system, and we are authorised to issue Electronic Money and provide payment services related to Electronic Money. We are subject to supervision by the Czech National Bank.
  2. We operate the GoPay Payment System.

Scope of the Account Terms of Use

  1. The Account Terms of Use lay down rules for opening, using and closing a GoPay Account.
  2. The Issue of Electronic Money follows legal regulations of the Czech Republic and the European Union as well as international treaties pertaining to Electronic Money. The Account Terms of Use shall therefore be interpreted and understood in accordance with the above legal regulations to which the Account Terms of Use are subordinated.

 Opening Your GoPay Account

  1. Your GoPay Account is opened by entering the requested data and by accepting the Account Terms of Use.
  2. A Contract between you and us is concluded at the moment when you confirm that you accept the Account Terms of Use.
  3. A Contract is always concluded upon your request and for an indefinite period of time.
  4. At the moment when you accept the Account Terms of Use you ask us at the same time to immediately commence the performance of the Contract.
  5. Please note that when you open your GoPay Account, we may require identification data from you in the scope that corresponds to the level of your GoPay Account verification; before the required identification data is verified, certain functions of your GoPay Account may be limited.
  6. The contractual relationship between you and us is governed not only by the Account Terms of Use but also by the List of Fees. Besides, privacy protection rules and AML rules that can be found on our website apply to you as well. The above rules are applied upon your consent. By accepting the Account Terms of Use you also accept the List of Fees.

Using Your GoPay Account

  1. The GoPay Payment System offers different GoPay Account levels; limits for Electronic Money disposal usually differ depending on the level of identification you have performed. Depending on this level, limits are set for a maximum permissible GoPay Account balance, maximum permissible amount of Electronic Money sent from a GoPay Account during one calendar year and a maximum permissible amount of Redemption of Electronic Money during one calendar year. Details are given on our website. Should the set limits be exceeded, we may ask for your identification or submission of further identification data or documents. Before you perform your identification in accordance with our request, we are entitled to proceed pursuant to the Account Terms of Use.
  2. You may open only one GoPay Account unless expressly agreed otherwise. If the Account Terms of Use speak about a GoPay Account in the singular and you have opened several GoPay Accounts based on a granted exemption, a GoPay Account always means all your GoPay Accounts.
  3. A GoPay Account may be kept simultaneously in multiple currencies depending on in what currency Electronic Money has been credited to the GoPay Account. Please note that Electronic Money can be credited to a GoPay Account only in certain currencies that we accept.
  4. You may increase your GoPay Account balance usually by transferring money or by having money transferred to one of our bank accounts in order to have it exchanged for Electronic Money.
  5. Money that has been entrusted to be transferred in order to increase your GoPay Account balance and that is to be received by us, passes to our disposal at the moment when it is entrusted and at this moment it is deemed to be received by us unless the money has been received already by entering a payment order to transfer money pursuant to the law.
  6. You may use the Electronic Money on your GoPay Account for payments to be credited to GoPay Accounts of other Clients and you may also make Redemption of Electronic Money recorded as disposable on your GoPay Account at any time.
  7. Please note that the effecting of an order to make Redemption of Electronic Money may take up to 5 working days from the day the respective order was entered.
  8. You have the disposable Electronic Money balance on your GoPay Account at your disposal at any time.
  9. No interest is paid on the Electronic Money balance on your GoPay Account.
  10. We credit transferred money to your GoPay Account immediately; however, we reserve the right to make it disposable to you at the moment when we actually receive the money from payment method providers. However, we may debit the money credited to your GoPay Account again if we fail to receive the transferred money in a standard period. Should this happen, we shall reduce your GoPay Account balance by the amount of money we have failed to receive. Should your GoPay Account balance not suffice for this purpose, we reserve the right to ask you to pay the money in the corresponding amount.
  11. If Electronic Money is transferred to your GoPay Account that has been closed, your GoPay Account shall be renewed and the transferred Electronic Money shall be credited to it. In this case we reserve the right to ask you to perform a repeated activation of your GoPay Account together with your identification or submission of further identification data or documents.

Security Measures

  1. We reserve the right to ask you to identify yourself at any time and even without giving any reason or ask you to submit further identification data or documents, in particular in cases stipulated by Czech Act No. 253/2008 Coll., which makes provision with respect to certain measures against legalisation of criminal proceeds and financing of terrorism, as amended. You shall oblige this request without delay.
  2. It is forbidden to use a GoPay Account in relation to the sale, resale or delivery of goods whose trading is prohibited by legal regulations or whose trading is deemed to be risky or generally dangerous. Likewise, it is strictly forbidden to use a GoPay Account in relation to providing services or pursuing activities that are prohibited by legal regulations or not permitted or that are deemed to be risky or generally dangerous. The above includes in particular trading with the following items, providing the following services and/or pursuing the following activities:
    1. Drugs and equipment for drug production or distribution;
    2. Natural raw materials;
    3. Pornographic materials;
    4. Materials inciting hatred, violence or racial intolerance;

    10. Products that require a special prescription and Products whose trading or market placement is subject to meeting a certain age limit;

  3. When in doubt whether an activity you operate belongs to one of the above categories, you are obliged to contact our Operations Department.
  4. We reserve the right to grant an exemption from prohibited or unpermitted activities in particularly justified cases provided pertinent national and international legal regulations are abided by at all times.
  5. If you make or attempt to make any transaction whereby you breach the prohibitions laid down in this Article, if you do not have the necessary consent for this transaction granted by us for it or if you allow this transaction to be made, we reserve the right:

    2. To block or cancel your GoPay Account; and/or
    3. To notify the police, other appropriate authority (e.g. the Ministry of Finance of the CR) or a respective contractual partner of the transaction.
  6. We reserve the right to set transaction and amount limits to individual payment transactions.
  7. The fact that a certain person or entity receives payments via the GoPay Payment System does not imply that this person or entity delivers goods or provides services in accordance with pertinent legal regulations and that the activities of this person are legal.
  8. In relation to your GoPay account you may use means of payment (e.g. bank accounts, payment cards) only if you are the rightful owner or holder of the above means of payment and if these means of payment are held in your name.
  9. By accepting the Account Terms of Use you represent and guarantee that you are not a politically exposed person within the meaning of S. 4(5) of Czech Act No. 253/2008 Coll., which makes provision with respect to certain measures against legalisation of criminal proceeds and financing of terrorism, as amended, nor any other person exempt from the possibility to hold Electronic Money and dispose thereof. Otherwise you are obliged to contact us so that we can verify together under what terms you may be entitled to use the GoPay Payment System.

Reserve

  1. We reserve the right to set a reserve on your GoPay Account.
  2. We may set the amount of a reserve at any time at our sole discretion, and it may be a specific amount, a percentage of the amount of Electronic Money credited to a GoPay Account over a certain preceding period or a combination of both of the above. We shall always notify you of a set reserve as well as any future change or cancellation thereof should we make this decision upon our exclusive authority.
  3. The reserve is used to secure any receivable amounts any third party or we may have from you. The reserve means that a certain part of Electronic Money on your GoPay Account cannot be used to make an Electronic Money Payment or be disposed of otherwise, including Redemption of Electronic Money. This shall not prejudice your right pursuant to S. 124a(1) of the Payment System Act. You accept the setting of the reserve pursuant to this Subsection by entering the first payment transaction in your GoPay Account after we use this entitlement.
  4. We reserve the right to ask you to increase the Electronic Money balance on your GoPay Account so as to meet our requirement for a reserve.
  5. If insolvency proceedings are launched against you, you are obliged to pay a risk fee to us in the amount of the reserve, which shall thus be used to cover this risk fee. You are obliged to inform us without delay about the fact that insolvency proceedings have been launched. If an insolvency motion is found to be unjustified or if you meet all your liabilities towards us and unless there is at the same time a reasonable risk that you will have a future liability towards us related to our contractual relationship, we are obliged to return to you the amount equalling the reserve. Unless there is a reasonable risk that you will have a future liability towards our company related to our contractual relationship we are obliged to return to you the amount equalling the reserve lowered by your unpaid liabilities towards us.

Limitation of Service Availability

  1. The scope and availability of payment methods on your GoPay Account are not guaranteed unless expressly agreed otherwise.
  2. You acknowledge that providers of individual payment services (in particular payment services provided by payment cards) may be entitled to ask at any time that this payment service be terminated in relation to your GoPay Account. In this case, we shall suspend service provision to you without delay; you hereby accept our entitlement to do so and grant your consent to it.
  3. We are entitled to terminate, suspend or restrict service provision to the necessary extent and with immediate effect or block your GoPay Account in justified cases. This shall be applied especially when you are suspected of unlawful conduct, in particular of using your GoPay Account contrary to the Account Terms of Use, of fraud related to making payment transactions, of money laundering or of an unauthorised use of your GoPay Account, and also pursuant to rules and terms pertaining to the use of a payment method by which a payment transaction is made. Unblocking of your GoPay Account or renewal of services may be subject to your identification.
  4. We are entitled to suspend the Issue of Electronic Money, making Electronic Money Payments and/or making Redemption of Electronic Money on your GoPay Account:
    1. If you breach the Account Terms of Use,
    2. If you breach other rules that govern the use of GoPay Accounts and operation of the GoPay Payment System;
    3. If you breach other contractual terms,
    4. If unpermitted or unlawful conduct is suspected; and
    5. If stipulated by legal regulations or by a public authority decision or measure.

      ​As soon as the reason for which we have applied some of these measures ceases to exist, usually after you perform your identification or submit the requested certificates or documents, the possibility to fully use your GoPay Account shall be renewed without delay.
  5. Unless agreed otherwise between the contracting parties in writing, we shall be authorised to interrupt or limit the provision of services for a necessary period of time when performing adjustments, maintenance or repairs of the GoPay Payment System, whose availability is a precondition for service provision. In this case, we shall inform you in advance about the reasons and duration of interruption or limitation of service provision. Interruption or limitation of service provision under this Subsection shall not be regarded as a breach of contractual obligations and shall not affect any other obligations of the contracting parties.
  6. Unless stated otherwise, we shall inform you about the introduction of a measure pursuant to this Article of the Account Terms of Use.
  7. You acknowledge and accept that the performance of any of our entitlements pursuant to this Article of the Account Terms of Use does not establish any claim for reimbursement or damages.

Closing Your GoPay Account

  1. We are entitled to withdraw from the Contract at any time; the contractual relationship shall be terminated upon the expiry of a 2-month notice period on the basis of a notice delivered to you unless we set a later day of terminating the contractual relationship in the notice. Your right to a settlement of the Electronic Money balance on your GoPay Account shall be guaranteed at all times.
  2. We reserve the right to withdraw from the Contract concluded with you with immediate effect if you breach the Account Terms of Use. We also reserve the right to withdraw from the Contract concluded with you with immediate effect without giving any reason within three months from concluding the Contract unless ruled out by law or other legal regulations.
  3. You are entitled to close your GoPay Account without giving a reason and thus withdraw from the Contract if all your liabilities towards us have been paid.

  5. If you are a consumer (i.e. an individual who does not pursue a trading or other business activity as part of independent job performance when the Contract is concluded and performed), you have a right to withdraw from the Contract without giving any reasons and without a contractual sanction within 14 days from the day the Contract was concluded provided the Contract has not been fulfilled.

  6. If we are ordered by an authorised person or authorised entity to transfer or remit your money upon whose receipt we have issued Electronic Money for the purpose of repaying a debt or fulfilling another legal obligation you have (in particular as part of collection procedures to seize a debtor’s property or as part of other similar procedures), the delivery of this order shall be deemed to be your request for making Redemption of Electronic Money to the extent determined in the above order, and your amount receivable from us shall become payable on that ground. You accept that in this case your money shall be transferred or remitted in accordance with the order made by an authorised person or authorised entity. By transferring or remitting the money in accordance with an order made by an authorised person or authorised entity, we shall exempt ourselves from our obligation towards you to the extent of the performance that has been paid as above.

Your Liabilities and Obligations

  1. In your own interest you shall act and use your GoPay Account so as not to put the security of your GoPay Account or GoPay Accounts of other Clients at risk; in particular, you shall always strive to maintain rules of safe behaviour on the Internet, and you shall not disclose your access data to your GoPay Account to anyone even if asked to do so.
  2. Should you establish that your password has been revealed or that there is an imminent threat of it being revealed to an unauthorised person, you shall notify us of this fact without delay and change your password alongside this.

  4. You shall be liable for damage suffered as a result of:
    1. A payment that you have entered erroneously and that has been made by us in accordance with this instruction;
    2. A payment entered by another person than you who was logged in your GoPay Account as you.
      You shall be exempt from this liability if you prove that access data to your GoPay Account has been made available to an unauthorised person through our fault.
  5. You shall also be liable for damage that has been incurred even though you may have prevented or avoided it by taking a timely measure to remedy a defective or endangering state, in particular for your failure to notify us accordingly pursuant to the Account Terms of Use.
  6. If your personal or identification data is changed, you shall update your personal or identification data in your GoPay Account. We shall not be liable for any damage that may be caused as a result of the fact that your personal or identification data has not been updated timely or regularly. You administer data kept by us about you in your GoPay Account.
  7. If your GoPay Account balance does not suffice to debit money that we are obliged to return as a result of a cancellation of a payment transaction or a failure to make a payment transaction or that is to be collected from your GoPay Account upon the Account Terms of Use or for another rightful reason, you are obliged to increase your GoPay Account balance accordingly. Should you fail to do the above in spite of our request to do so, it shall be regarded as a breach of the Account Terms of Use. We may ask you to fulfil this obligation and, if necessary, take any measures to enforce the fulfilment of this obligation including the authorisation of a collection agency or a legal representative to exercise the respective claim at court. At the same time, we are entitled to ask you to reimburse costs we have provably incurred in relation to your failure to meet the above obligation.

At the same time, you acknowledge that this damage may also take the form of contractual penalties or other sanctions that we are obliged to pay in relation to your unlawful conduct on the basis of a contract or a legal regulation (e.g. penalties imposed by card associations, the Czech National Bank or other administrative bodies). So as to dispel any doubt, a breach of the Account Terms of Use or any other terms you are obliged to follow shall also be regarded as unlawful conduct. Please note that damage pursuant to this Subsection of the Account Terms of Use may amount to hundreds of thousands of EUR.
