D. Payment Initiation Services

This section applies if you are using the service to request payments to be made from your account with a bank or other payment provider. It explains how to request your payment provider to make a payment, any limits that apply- and what we or your provider will do if we think a payment request might be dodgy.

  1. When you use our Payment Initiation Service, we enable you to initiate each payment order by passing you directly to the systems of your payment account service provider (“PSP”) to follow your PSP’s instructions. You agree to provide us or your PSP (as they case may be) with the necessary payment order information, including support documents requested, such as invoice(s) and/or related contract with the person or entity you intend to pay (“Payee”).

  2. A payment order is provided to and receive by your PSP in accordance with its agreement with you, including any specified cut-off times. Once your payment order has been received, you may not revoke it or otherwise withdraw your consent to the execution of the relevant payment transaction.

  3. We and/ or your PSP may from time to time notify you of certain limits in the way the Service or any part of it can be used (“Customer Limit”). You shall not use the Service in breach of any Customer Limit without our prior written approval (to be given in our sole and absolute discretion). For the purpose of this Clause D.3 we may give such written approval via an electronic authorisation that you may not be able to store. Such Customer Limit(s) shall continue to apply unless and to the extent that we otherwise notify you in writing. We have the right to ask you for additional confirmation from the memory any Customer Limit is breached but shall not be obliged to do so.

  4. We will be entitled to assume that a payment order and the payment transaction related to that payment order (“Payment Transaction”) has been authorised by you where a payment order is initiated in the manner specified under Clause D.1.

  5. We or your PSP may suspend the processing of any payment order where we or your PSP reasonably believe that the payment order or Payment Transaction may be fraudulent or involves any criminal activity, until the satisfactory completion of any investigation.

E. All Services

This section covers all our services. It explains what we’ll do if we or a payment provider suspect any strange activity, and that we record calls and other messages.

  1. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, to use the Services you must log-in to your User Account with your Access Codes and follow the relevant instructions.

  2. We may restrict or suspend your use of the Service without notice if: we or you PSP identity or suspect that suspicious, fraudulent or illegal activity are being carried out in relation to your use of the Service; if we or your PSP believe you have not complied with this Agreement; or in the event of exceptional circumstances which prohibit the normal operation of the Service.

  3. Unless it would be unlawful for us to do so or it is impracticable, where we stop or suspend the use of the Service in accordance with Clause E.2, we will notify you of this and our reasons for doing so, by sending an email to the email address you have provided to us. Where it is not possible to notify you before we stop or suspend the Service, or if we believe your actions can cause any sort of damage to the Service before notifying you, we will notify you as soon as possible afterwards. We will reinstate your access to the Service or initiate any suspended payment order as soon as practicable after the reasons pursuant to Clause E.2 no longer apply or exist.

  4. We have the right to record the telephone calls with each Customer, as well as any use or attempted use of the Service and any digital communications with you, and if necessary, to use the recordings as evidence of such calls, sessions or communications.

F. Paid for Services

  1. We offer paid-for services which include additional functionality for a subscription fee (“Paid for Services”). If you choose to upgrade to a Paid for Service, you will be charged for use of the Service in accordance with the payment page, your subscription choice and method of payment (“Payment Method”). All subscription fees are payable in advance. Subscription fees will be billed automatically to the Payment Method at the start of the monthly, annual period or other period, as applicable, and, unless stated as being a one-off fee, will auto-renew until your membership is terminated.

  2. The renewal subscription fees will be the same as the initial charges unless you are otherwise notified in advance. You authorize Lumio to charge your Payment Method for the appropriate subscription charges and fees and for any other purchases you elect to make via the Service We reserve the right to increase membership fees or to institute new fees at any time upon reasonable notice posted in advance on the Service. Members changing from monthly to annual memberships will have the annual rates take effect at the beginning of the next billing date. If you upgrade your membership or add new categories of service to your account, such changes may result in a new billing date effective upon the date you elect such upgrade or addition. All purchases are final and no refund will be given for unused portions of your initial or any renewal membership period.

  3. Whichever subscription option you choose, you may give notice to terminate your subscription at any time but you will not be refunded for any unused element of the relevant Paid for Service. For example, if you opt for a monthly subscription, you may give notice to terminate your subscription at any time but your subscription will terminate at the end of the month in which you give notice and you will not be refunded the charge for that month. If you opt for an annual subscription, you may give notice to terminate at any time but your subscription will terminate at the end of the year and you will not be refunded your annual subscription charge.

  4. Your access to Paid for Services is subject to your payment of the relevant subscription fee. In the event that we are unable to debit payment from you, we may suspend your access to the Paid for Service until payment is made.

  5. From time to time, we, or third parties on our behalf, may offer trials of Paid for Services for a specified period (Trial Period) without payment or with payment at a reduced rate. We may determine your eligibility for a trial, and withdraw or modify a trial at any time without prior notice and with no liability, to the extent permitted under applicable law.

  6. We may require you to provide your payment details to start the trial. By providing such details you agree that we may automatically begin charging you for the Paid for Services on the first day following the end of the Trial Period on a recurring monthly basis or another interval that we disclose to you in advance.

  7. If you do not wish to continue receiving the Paid for Service(s) you must cancel these via the app store for your mobile operating system before the Trial Period lapses. Lumio bears no responsibility for providing you with advanced notice of the expiry of a Trial Period and you bear sole responsibility for giving notice that you do not wish to continue to receive the Paid for Services prior to the expiry of the Trial Period. Once the Trial Period has lapsed, you must cancel your account.

G. Unauthorised or Defective Payment Transactions

This section applies if you use the service to request payments to be made from your bank or payment provider. It explains what to do if you see a payment that’s wrong or you don’t remember requesting, and how we work out whose problem that is.

  1. If you believe you did not authorise a particular Payment Transaction or that it was incorrectly initiated, you must contact the PSP who operates the payment account from which payment was taken PSP without undue delay, as soon as you notice the problem. If you contact our Customer Services team, we will only refer you to your PSP. Depending on the circumstances, our Customer Services team may require you to provide certain additional information.

  2. In order to reclaim an unauthorised or incorrectly executed Payment Transaction, you must notify you PSP without undue delay after becoming aware of the unauthorised or incorrect transaction and in any event no later than thirteen (13) months after the debit date of the Payment Transaction. It is you PSP’s responsibility to provide a refund, if appropriate, and subject to its agreement with you. If your PSP believes we should be liable, the PSPs can then seek compensation from us.

  3. Neither we or your PSP will be liable to refund any unauthorised or incorrectly executed Payment Transaction immediately where we have reason to believe that the incident may have been caused:

    1. by a breach of contract;

    2. through gross negligence; or

    3. where we have reasonable ground to suspect fraud.

  4. We shall not be held liable for a Payment Transaction that has been incorrectly executed if you have failed to notify us of a problem in accordance with the applicable provisions of Clauses D.1 and D.2.

  5. In certain circumstances, we or your PSP may refuse to initiate a payment order that you have authorised (for example where there is a breach of this Agreement or there is concern regarding fraud or security). Unless it would be unlawful for us to do so, where we refuse to initiate a payment order for you, we will notify you as soon as reasonably practicable that is has been refused and the reasons why it has been refused, together where relevant, with the procedure for correcting any factual errors that led to the refusal. We may charge you for each such notification depending on the circumstances in each case.

  6. Any dispute arising under this Section F. will be dealt with as a complaint under Section S.

H. Information, not financial or professional advice

This section explains that information on the service is just information, not any kind of advice or personal recommendation. If you are using the service to get information to, say, your accountant or financial advisor their services are separate from ours and we aren’t responsible for how they use the information or advice they give you.

  1. Contributions, articles, commentary, charts, data visualisations and other materials posted within our Service (“Content”) are provided for general information only. Content within the Service is not, and should not be construed as, financial or other professional advice. You should not rely on the content within our Service as the basis for making a financial decision. If in doubt, you should seek professional advice. Subject to the provisions of Clause P, we therefore disclaim all liability and responsibility arising from any reliance placed on such materials by any user of our Service, or by anyone who may be informed of any of its contents.

  2. The Service is the Lumio functionality and the content in the Service made available by Lumio. If a third party is using the Service to perform functions or provide you with advice (for example, your Financial Adviser (FA) is providing you with financial advice), then that advice is a separate service provided by the FA and is not a part of the Service. Lumio has no responsibility for and is not liable for any advice or service provided by your FA or other third party.

The website from which you are linking must comply in all respects with any content standards set out in this Agreement. The Service must not be framed on any other site and you must not display the Content or allow any Content to be displayed surrounded or framed or otherwise surrounded by material not originating from us without our prior written consent.

M. Information about you and your use of the Service

This section explains our privacy policy, which covers your personal data. Important for you to read that.

Our Privacy Policy (which is incorporated by reference into this Agreement under Clause A.4 provides you with the information required by the Data Protection Act 2018 and related Acts and regulations governing the use and processing of personal data by persons established in the UK (“Data Protection Laws”), including details of the personal data that we collect, as well as the purposes and legal bases for processing such personal data.

We process information about you in accordance with our Privacy Policy. By using the Service, you consent to such processing and you warrant that all data provided by you is accurate and up to date.

N. Connected Accounts

This section explains how you allow the service to connect your accounts with other service providers, and that the information on those accounts is not our responsibility.

  1. In some areas of the Service, you have the ability to connect to your bank accounts and other accounts you hold with third party institutions (“Third Party Accounts”). This enables us to access and retrieve data from your bank and other accounts to populate areas of the Service with details from those Third Party Accounts.

  2. By using the Service to connect to Third Party Accounts, you authorise us and Data Service Providers (on an ongoing basis unless and until you deactivate the connection) to access the relevant third party source, on your behalf and as your agent, to retrieve information requested by you or otherwise available from the Third Party Account. You agree that the bank, PSP or other institution providing the Third Party Account(s) shall be entitled to rely on the foregoing authorisation and that the Service may not be endorsed or sponsored by any Third Party Account providers.

  3. Lumio cannot be responsible for the accuracy of data it receives from the Third Party Accounts and you must ensure that it is (and continues to be) accurate. If at any time you choose not to link to a Third Party Account you will stop receiving information from that Third Party Account (for example up-to-date valuations) which may affect elements of the Service (for example, financial projections). Lumio cannot be responsible for any inaccuracies caused by you no longer having access to data or by data not being up-to-date.

O. Disclaimer of Warranties

  4. We shall not be liable where the unauthorised Payment Transaction arises from:

    1. The Service is subject to any constraints or limitations stipulated by any regulatory authority or applicable law and our continued regulation by the competent regulatory authorities; and

Q. Indemnification

This section says you are liable if others make claims against us because you have done something you shouldn't. The reason it does not require us to do the same thing is because Clause P explains what we’ll do to put things right in the various situations that might come up.

You agree to indemnify us against any and all claims, losses, damages, expenses and costs (including legal fees and expenses) arising out of or in connection with your use of the Service or conduct in relation to it in breach of this Agreement, your User Content, or infringement of third party rights, except to the extent that we have breached this Agreement or been negligent.
