7.3. The User can initiate payment at a Store that accepts payment from the Account:
- a) by selecting the "Lova payment" option on the Store's website or mobile application, and
- b) at a physical point of sale by informing the cashier that payment will be made via the Lova wallet.
7.4. In the case of 7.3. a), the User will select "Lova payment" on the Store's website or mobile application, after which a QR code will appear, which the user will scan via the Lova app or enter their Account ID. After scanning the QR code, a pre-filled payment order opens for the user, along with the option to choose which e-wallet they wish to pay with. The User then authorizes the order by clicking the "Pay" button, thereby giving consent for the execution of the payment transaction and digitally signing the order to prove the irrevocability of the payment. If the user chooses the second option and enters their Account ID, after clicking the "Pay" button on the Merchant's website, a payment request will appear in the Lova app for the User, which the User can accept or reject. Only after the User confirms the transaction, the transaction is digitally signed and executed. The Issuer will execute the payment immediately upon receipt of the payment order, meaning you can no longer revoke the order once it has been confirmed.
7.5. In the case of 7.3. b), the User will inform the cashier at the point of sale that payment will be made via the Lova app. The cashier can show the User a QR code from their smart POS terminal screen or their fixed QR code, which the user scans. Then, a pre-filled payment order opens for the user, and the user authorizes it in the same way as under 7.4. For a fixed QR code, the user must also enter the amount from the fiscal receipt before authorizing the order. Instead of a QR code, the cashier can ask the user for their Account ID number, after which a payment request will appear in the Lova app for the User, which the User can accept or reject. Only after the User confirms the transaction, the transaction is digitally signed and executed. The Issuer will execute the payment immediately upon receipt of the payment order, meaning you can no longer revoke the order once it has been confirmed.
7.6. The Issuer may introduce additional security measures to confirm payments, in order to protect the Account from unauthorized transactions. The User must comply with the security procedures as instructed by the Issuer.
7.7. Rejection of Payment Orders: The Issuer will reject payment in the following cases:
- the execution of the transaction would violate provisions of domestic or international law, or orders issued by competent administrative or judicial authorities, or there is reasonable suspicion that the execution of the transaction would constitute a misdemeanor or a criminal offense and/or the transaction is prohibited on other grounds;
- to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing;
- if access data and/or security parameters are not provided or the provided parameters are incomplete;
- if the account is blocked, or
- if there are insufficient funds in the account to execute the transaction.
7.8. In the event that a transaction is rejected, the User will immediately receive an appropriate notification via the Lova app and the email address with which the User opened the Account.
8. Failed or Irregular Payments
8.1. In the event that the Lova app delays the execution of a transaction for which the User has given us a valid instruction, the User may request that we contact the payment service provider of the payee and request that the payment be executed as if the payment was received on the correct day.
8.2. If, in accordance with the law, the Issuer is responsible for the execution of a payment transaction initiated by the User as the payer, it is obliged to immediately refund the User the amount of the unexecuted or improperly executed payment transaction, and if the User's Account has been debited, to restore the Account to the state it would have been in had the payment transaction not been executed, unless it is proven that the payment service provider of the payee received the amount of the intended payment.

8.5. The User is obliged to notify the Issuer without delay of any unexecuted, improperly executed, or delayed payment transaction as soon as they become aware of it.
9. Third-Party Service Providers
9.1. The User may:
- to be informed about the Account balance, instruct a third-party service provider to access information on their Account; or
- to execute payments from the Account, in case the Issuer provides Users with the ability to issue payment orders from the User's Account, instruct a third-party service provider to access information on their Account.
9.2. The Issuer considers an instruction from a third-party service provider to have been received from the User. The User must not provide their security credentials to a third party.
9.3. The Issuer may deny a third party access to the User's Account in case of suspicion or risk of unauthorized or fraudulent access by that third-party service provider. Before doing so, the Issuer will notify the User to explain the reasons, unless it is impractical, in which case the Issuer will notify the User immediately. In both cases, the Issuer will communicate this to the User in the manner it deems most appropriate under the circumstances. The Issuer will not disclose the reasons to the User if doing so could compromise reasonable security measures or otherwise be unlawful.
9.4. The Issuer may allow a third-party service provider a specific method of accessing the User's account. If it does so and the third-party service provider attempts to access the Account in a different way, the Issuer may disable that access.

Funds will be available for payment immediately upon receipt of the 6-digit code or QR code/barcode.
12.5. If the payout is made at the payout locations of contractual partners, then the 6-digit short-term numerical code/QR code/barcode is shown to the employee of the contractual partners at the payout location. In addition to the 6-digit short-term numerical code/QR code/barcode, the employee may also ask you for an identification document (ID card or passport). If you do not present an identification document upon the employee's request, the employee will refuse the payout.
12.6. A payment transaction initiated by the user using the obtained 6-digit code/QR code/barcode is considered authorized after it is presented at the payout location and a successful payout slip is received.
12.7. In the event that a distributor's payout location does not have sufficient funds for the requested payout amount, then the payout will not be possible. The Issuer is not responsible if the payout location does not have banknotes for the amount the User requested, whether due to an excessively large amount or an amount that cannot be paid out due to a lack of funds in the appropriate denomination, and is not responsible for the availability and proper functioning of payout locations.
13. Payout to Bank Account
13.1. The User may use electronic money stored in the Account for payouts to bank accounts that are registered and verified in the Lova application.
13.2. The Issuer sets initial limits and reserves the right to manage payouts to bank accounts, maintaining them in accordance with regulations governing payment transactions, prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing, as well as other relevant regulations. The Issuer is not obliged to explain limit management to the User. Related transactions are also monitored, and we reserve the right to conduct additional checks, inquiries, and to withhold the execution of payment transactions to bank accounts.
13.3. For payouts from the Lova wallet to a bank account, the Issuer charges a fee for using this service in the amount specified in the Price List, which is charged directly and in full from the Account on the day of transaction execution, i.e., transaction authorization, and the available balance on the Account is reduced by the amount of the fee.
13.4. Payout Process: Within the Lova application, the User must select a bank account that has been entered and verified in the Lova mobile application to which the payout will be made. The User then independently initiates the transaction electronically from the mobile application by defining the payment amount within the available limits and confirming the transaction's execution.
13.5. The order placed by the User is executed by the bank where the Issuer has an open bank account. Upon receiving a payment order from the User, the Issuer issues a payment order for the same amount to the bank where it holds an account. The method and deadlines for executing payment orders are determined by the Issuer's bank. Depending on the Issuer's bank, the execution of this order may take several minutes, hours, or even several days, and is entirely dependent on the Issuer's bank. The Issuer has no influence over the bank's payment procedure, method, or dynamics. The Issuer executes User orders on a daily basis, on working days.
14. Account Security Settings
14.1. The User is obliged to ensure that the data stored in connection with the Account is always accurate and up-to-date. The User is obliged to promptly inform the Issuer of any change in personal data or change in data in documents previously submitted to the Issuer. The User is responsible for any damage that may arise due to a breach of this provision of the General Terms and Conditions.
14.2. The Issuer is authorized at any time to verify the accuracy and timeliness of personal data stored in connection with the User, exclusively by requesting the User to submit valid proof.
14.3. To maintain the security level of the Account, the Issuer is authorized to contact the User by sending an email message to the email address stored in the user section or via SMS or otherwise to the stored mobile phone number.
14.4. The User is obliged to ensure the availability of the stored email address and mobile phone number and is obliged to immediately retrieve and read every message sent to them by the Issuer to prevent unauthorized use of the Account.
14.5. If the Issuer believes there is a risk of fraud or a threat to the security of the user account or the overall security of the Lova service, the Issuer will use the fastest and safest way to contact the User using the contact details provided by the User, in order to inform them about what they need to do to help resolve these risks.
14.6. The use of the Account is limited to the amount available in the Account at the time of transaction confirmation, reduced by the amount of applicable fees.
15. User's Obligation to Keep Data Confidential and Actions in Case of Loss, Theft, or Misuse
15.1. The User is obliged to protect their mobile phone with the Lova application and the access data for the application (PIN, pattern, biometric authentication) from unauthorized use by third parties. The User is responsible for damages that may arise due to negligence regarding the protection of the mobile phone and the Lova application, and for violating the provisions of this article and other provisions of the General Terms and Conditions.
15.2. The User's security obligations are at least the following:
- Exercise increased caution when protecting access to the mobile device on which the Lova mobile application is located and access to the Lova mobile application itself with a confidential password known only to the User;
- Be especially careful in protecting assigned or selected personalized security credentials to prevent their loss, theft, misuse, or unauthorized disclosure.
For example, voluntarily disclosing or making available assigned or selected personalized security credentials to a third party is considered an act contrary to the duty of due care, and in such a case, the User bears the risk and resulting damage, and is also responsible for damage that may be incurred by the Company.
- The User shall under no circumstances forward or otherwise make available personalized security credentials via email, websites, or any other means, nor shall they open, forward, or reply to emails or SMS messages that appear to come from Lova. The User confirms that they are aware that any email message originating from Lova will be sent exclusively from the official Lova email address ending with @lova.ba and that Lova employees will never ask the User to disclose or provide (verbally or in writing) any credentials, including PINs, activation codes, and the like;
- The User will not open email messages, attachments, and links that are not expected from the lova.ba domain;
- The User shall be careful about the websites visited from devices accessing the Lova application, as accessing some websites involves an increased risk of infecting computers, mobile, and other devices with malicious software;
- The User must not make unauthorized modifications to devices used as a means of identification/authorization and/or mobile devices (for example, root, jailbreak);
- If the User has activated biometric authentication on their Device used as a means of identification/authentication, the User must ensure that only the User's biometric data is stored on the same Device used as a means of identification/authentication at all times, as any registration via any biometric authentication method will be considered performed by the User, as well as all orders that may have been executed after such registration, and the User assumes full responsibility for all such resulting damage.
15.3. All User and security data for accessing the Lova application, i.e., the Account, are confidential to Users and, as such, must not be disclosed to third parties. Transaction data is automatically synchronized with the User's mobile applications, and the Issuer is not responsible in the event of unauthorized disclosure of such data to third parties or in cases of theft or loss of the User's mobile phone. In such a case, Users are obliged to immediately contact the Issuer's Customer Service, which will immediately block the user account, and in such a case, the Issuer may allow re-registration for the use of the Account service to those Users at their initiative.
15.4. In the event that access data or security parameters are lost, stolen, misused, or used in any unauthorized manner, the User is obliged to contact the Issuer by phone without delay from the moment they became aware or should have become aware (the customer service phone number is available on the website www.lova.ba). Any delay in notifying the Issuer may affect the security of the User's Account and result in the User's liability for all losses if the delay in notification is due to intent or gross negligence. If the User suspects that someone else has accessed their Account, or if they suspect other misuse, they should also immediately contact the police.
15.5. The Issuer does not guarantee the delivery or relevance of any goods or services paid for via the Account. The Issuer is not authorized and will not participate in negotiations, progress, and/or disputes in business relationships between merchants and Users. The Issuer facilitates electronic money payments, and its duty is to enable payments in accordance with obligations prescribed by law and other regulations. Users have the right to define the nature of their business relationship on the basis of which the transaction is prepared and paid. If a User suspects misuse or any other illegal circumstance, they are obliged to report it to the competent institutions and initiate appropriate procedures. The Issuer is available to all competent institutions.
16. Fees and Exchange Rates
16.1. The Issuer does not charge fees for opening, activating, and maintaining the Account, nor for checking the Account balance.
16.2. After electronic money has been issued by its issuer in an amount equal to the monetary value received, in the event of a subsequent change of holder of already issued electronic money at the request of its holder, the Issuer may charge a fee for changing the holder of the already issued electronic money.
16.3. The Issuer may charge a fee for payments from the Account to certain Merchants. These fees will be displayed to the User before payment confirmation. Merchants have the right to charge a fee for this form of payment, but this is a direct business relationship between the User and the Merchant and has no connection with fees charged by the Issuer.
16.4. For some services, the Issuer determines fees in accordance with the Price List. The Price List is available on the company's website www.lova.ba under the name "Commissions".
16.5. Should there be a change in the amount or application of individual fees related to the Account after these General Terms and Conditions come into effect, the Issuer will timely inform the User in an appropriate manner.
16.6. For currency conversions performed by the User within the Lova application, the Issuer's exchange rate, which is available directly in the Lova application during conversion, shall apply.
17. Account Blocking
17.1 The Issuer may block the User's Account or otherwise restrict its use for reasons related not only to the security of the account or any of its security features, but also if it reasonably suspects unauthorized or fraudulent use of the User's Account or that any security features of the Lova account or Lova service are generally compromised, as well as in the event of a breach of any of the provisions of these General Terms and Conditions and/or relevant regulations.
17.2 Where possible, the User will be informed of any blocking or restrictions on Account use. The Issuer is not obliged to explain the reasons for blocking or restricting Account use if it has reason to believe that doing so could affect the security interests of the Issuer or the User, or could impact the enforcement of measures and actions by competent authorities.
18. Issuer's Responsibility
18.1. The Issuer does not guarantee that Merchants will accept payment from the Account or that the Issuer will approve a specific transaction. This situation may arise due to circumstances within the Issuer's or a third party's system, something beyond the Issuer's reasonable control, or because the Issuer suspects misuse of the Account.
18.2. The Issuer is not responsible if a Merchant refuses to accept payment from the Account, nor if the Issuer refuses to approve a transaction, or cancels or suspends the use of the Account to the extent permitted by these General Terms and Conditions and the law.
18.3. Unless otherwise provided by law, the Issuer will not be liable for any direct or indirect loss or damage that the User might suffer as a result of full or partial use or inability to use the Account, or its use by a third party. The Issuer will also not be liable for any losses or costs incurred by the User that result from compliance with the Issuer's legal and regulatory requirements.
18.4. If the User does not use the Account in accordance with these General Terms and Conditions, or if the Issuer learns that the User is using the Account without authorization, the Issuer has the right to charge the User for all reasonable costs incurred by the Issuer due to taking actions to prevent the User from using the Account and to recover all funds due to the User's activities.
19. User's Responsibility
19.1. The User shall notify the Issuer without delay if they notice that an unauthorized or incomplete payment has been made via their Account and mobile application. Claims and complaints regarding unauthorized and incomplete payments will be rejected if the User fails to notify the Issuer within 24 (twenty-four) months from the date of the incorrect payment.
19.2. If the User has, or can reasonably be assumed to have, knowledge or suspicion that their Account, mobile phone, access data, or any other security parameter has been lost, stolen, misused, and/or compromised in any other way, the User is obligated to immediately notify the Issuer of the loss or theft of access data, misuse, or unauthorized use of access data and security parameters.
19.3. In the event of an unauthorized payment or a payment incorrectly executed due to our error, the Issuer will, as soon as possible, refund the paid amount including all fees. This does not apply to situations:
- if an unauthorized payment results from the User's failure to exercise due diligence and safeguard their mobile phone, and/or access data, or from other user misuse, the User remains responsible for the total transaction amount;
- if the User does not promptly notify the Issuer of any loss of a mobile phone, and/or access data, or other event that could reasonably be expected to compromise the security of the user account after the User became aware or could reasonably be assumed to have become aware of such an event, in which case the User remains responsible for all losses until they notify the Issuer;
- if the transaction was not authorized, but the User acted fraudulently or intentionally or negligently compromised the security of the Account, in which case the User is solely responsible for all losses; or
- if the User does not dispute the transaction and/or does not notify the Issuer of an unauthorized or incorrectly executed transaction within 13 (thirteen) months from the date of the transaction.
19.4. Except in the case of fraud by the User, the preceding paragraph does not apply to transactions executed after the User has notified the Issuer if the Issuer failed to provide the User with adequate means of notification, or if the Issuer should have used strong authentication methods but failed to do so, in which case the Issuer will be responsible and will refund the User all amounts related to the unauthorized transaction as soon as possible.
19.5. Without prejudice to the foregoing, the User undertakes to ensure data security, regularly and frequently review the transaction history on the account, and promptly contact the Issuer's Customer Service with any questions or concerns.
19.6. In the event of any erroneous or misdirected payments, the Issuer will, in accordance with the law, take reasonable measures to assist the User in tracing and recovering the amounts subject to such payments.
19.7. In accordance with the above, the Issuer is not responsible for any deficiency in the operation of its service and/or for a malfunction in the operation of intermediary services on which it relied to fulfill its obligations under these General Terms and Conditions, provided that such deficiency was caused by extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the Issuer or the relevant intermediary.
20. Personal Data Protection
20.1. To ensure the functionality of services within the Lova application, including the use of the Lova wallet, the Issuer may collect the User's personal data such as name and surname, phone number, and email address, as well as copies of personal and other documents ("Personal Data"). The Issuer collects and uses personal data to maintain service functionality, ensure the security of the Account and payments, and provide services to Users, while having an obligation of confidentiality towards these Users and their data. The Issuer protects the User's personal data from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Data on computer servers is stored in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. The User explicitly permits the Issuer to access, process, and retain all data provided by the user for the purpose of providing payment services to the User. This does not affect the respective rights of the Issuer and the User and legal obligations regarding data protection. The User may withdraw consent by closing the account. If the User withdraws consent in this manner, the Issuer will cease using the User's data for that purpose, but may continue to process data for other purposes for which the Issuer has other legal bases, such as when the Issuer is legally obliged to retain data and transaction records.
20.2. The User's personal data is processed in accordance with applicable regulations. The Issuer controls the User's personal data and uses it in accordance with the needs of service provision. Furthermore, the Issuer uses the User's personal data, along with other data collected or generated during the User's relationship with the Issuer, such as transaction details, transaction history, and similar information, to provide users with the requested services. Read and learn more about data protection from the Privacy Policy available on the website.
20.3. The Issuer will transfer the User's personal data to third parties only if necessary for the execution of transactions and only to those third parties with whom it has a contractual relationship regarding data protection, for the purpose of providing services that the Issuer offers to Users, or to facilitate future transactions or to supplement data with information from publicly available sources. This also helps the Issuer understand and improve the offering of its products and services. The Issuer may also transfer the User's personal data to third parties when reasonably necessary, for the purpose of preventing and detecting criminal offenses, or when required by law. The Issuer stores the User's data, marketing choices, and transaction history based on data retention schedules for no longer than necessary for the purposes for which the data was collected and in accordance with applicable regulations.
20.4. The User has the right to access their data and request a copy thereof, and may correct, delete, or block data that is incomplete, inaccurate, or outdated, unless otherwise stipulated by law. They may also object at any time to the manner in which their data is collected, processed, or used, particularly in cases where processing is not necessary for the provision of the service, or in cases where this right does not arise from law or other regulations.
20.5. The Issuer is responsible for the responsible and legally compliant storage of the User's personal data and for unauthorized or unlawful use of their personal data by the Issuer and all other persons to whom the Issuer has unauthorizedly transferred this data. The User gives explicit consent to the Issuer for the exchange of personal data with third parties or Merchants that is necessary for the realization of the service that the User obtains with the help of third parties or Merchants through the Issuer's services.
20.6. The Issuer will regularly inform users about the Account, data protection, and other important events. By accepting these General Terms and Conditions, the User agrees to receive such information via email, SMS message, or the Lova application.

In the communication regarding the changes, the Issuer will warn the User about the consequences of not objecting to the amendments and about the User's right to terminate the Agreement without charge and without a notice period.
22.4. Improvements to the functionality of the service covered by these General Terms and Conditions of Business, the introduction of a new service, or a change in payment methods and/or the Store, which is not materially significant to the User's rights and/or benefits the User, will not be considered a change to the General Terms and Conditions of Business.
