Revision Date:
26 January 2023

These terms and conditions (the “Terms”) set out the basis on which SM Wallet srl, a company incorporated in San Marino with its principal business office at the address at office at Via Consiglio dei Sessanta 99, Dogana, San Marino, (“we”, “us”, “our”) will provide you (“you” or “your”) with a BP Voucher you can use to purchase goods or services from a merchant accepting the BP Vouchers as a means of payment (the “BP Voucher”).

The BP Voucher you purchase and use under these Terms can only be used in relation to a specific merchant (the merchant through which you accessed our checkout process and whose name appears on the screen you accessed these terms) (the “Merchant”) and to a specific purchase you are making through the website of that Merchant (the “Merchant’s Website”).

Please read these Terms carefully as they will apply to your purchase and the subsequent use of the BP Voucher. By deciding to proceed with paying for the goods or services from the Merchant using the BP Voucher, you agree to these Terms. Please note that these Terms only apply to your current purchase of the BP Voucher – and will end once the BP Voucher has been redeemed. If you make subsequent purchases through the Merchant’s Website and decide to use our services to pay for them, you will need to agree to a new set of terms and conditions each time.

These Terms and any matters arising from them shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of San Marino and shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the San Marino.

Section 1 - Buying a BP Voucher

  1. When you select to pay for your specific purchase of goods or services from the Merchant’s Website (the “Transaction”) using our services, you are automatically redirected to our checkout process that will enable you to purchase the BP Voucher and then use that to pay for the Transaction (the “BP Portal”).
  2. Through using our services you agree to buy the BP Voucher from us for a value equal to the value of the Transaction. Following the completion of the purchase we will issue the BP Voucher to you, and it shall have a value equal to the value of your Transaction. The BP Voucher shall then be immediately redeemed with the Merchant in accordance with clause 2 to pay for the Transaction.
  3. You place the instruction to purchase the BP Voucher on the BP Portal by pressing the “Purchase” button at the end of the checkout process. The BP Portal will give you instructions on the information you need to provide, and what you need to do to finalise your purchase.
  4. The total price to be paid for the BP Voucher (including any costs and/or taxes you will pay via us) will be displayed on the BP Portal. Depending on the nature of your Transaction, there may be other costs and/or taxes that are not paid via us and/or imposed by us. These additional costs may not be displayed on the BP Portal, and we recommend you check the Merchant’s Website for details of such amounts.
  5. You may purchase the BP Voucher using any of the Approved Payment Methods, and by pressing the “Purchase” button at the end of the checkout process, you give authority for payment to be taken using your selected Approved Payment Method. Payment will be debited and cleared from your account as soon as possible under the relevant rules applicable to your selected Approved Payment Method.
  6. You must purchase the BP Voucher in the same currency as the Transaction. Please be aware that where you make a payment to purchase the BP Voucher using an Accepted Payment Method which is denominated in a different currency to that of the Transaction, the issuer/provider of the Accepted Payment Method will normally convert the currency at an exchange rate set by them and may apply various fees to this transaction. We have no responsibility for this conversion or the application of any fees.

Section 2 - Redeeming a BP Voucher

  1. The BP Voucher can only be used to pay for the Transaction with the Merchant. It cannot be used to pay for goods and services being offered by another seller, nor can it be used to purchase different goods and services from the Merchant as part of a separate purchase.
  2. Your purchase of the BP Voucher shall also be deemed to be an instruction to conclude the Transaction and to transfer the BP Voucher to us (acting in our role as the Merchant’s agent) immediately following our issuing of the BP Voucher to you.
  3. Your transfer of the BP Voucher to us will act as settlement of your obligation to the Merchant to pay for the Transaction, but it will not result in you completing any other obligations you may have to the Merchant as part of the Transaction. You remain fully responsible for complying with any other obligations associated with the Transaction and agree and acknowledge that we cannot be held liable for any losses you may suffer as a result of you not complying with these.
  4. The provision of the goods and services under the Transaction will remain the responsibility of the Merchant. We are the Merchant’s agent solely for concluding the Transaction with you and receiving your payment, we are not responsible for, and have no liability in relation to, the performance of the Merchant’s obligations under the Transaction.

Section 3 - Prohibiting your purchase/Use of a BP Voucher

  1. We must comply with various laws relating to the prevention of financial crime, as a result, we must obtain certain information from entities buying/using BP Vouchers in relation to their identity, the purpose of their purchase and the source of the funds they are using. We will capture any information about you that we require from the checkout process and from other sources we have access to and use this to determine if there is a risk of financial crime.
  2. We may suspend or withdraw, at any time, your ability to purchase and/or use the BP Voucher if:
    1. There is insufficient information about you/your activities to allow us to make a decision regarding financial crime;
    2. We have a concern that we may be being used for the purposes of financial crime;
    3. We have reasonable grounds to believe that the BP Voucher is being bought/used in an unauthorised or fraudulent manner;
    4. We have not received sufficient payment from you for the BP Voucher;
    5. We have reasonable grounds to believe that you are acting in breach of these Terms; and/or we have a concern that carrying out the sale and purchase of the BP Voucher may lead us to break the law or breach any contract we are a party to.
  3. If we do suspend or withdraw your ability to purchase and/or use the BP Voucher, you agree and acknowledge that we have the right to disclose this fact to the National Crime Agency and any other appropriate regulatory body.
  4. You may, access all information disclosed and relating to you, provided this right of access does not conflict with any applicable laws or contractual requirements which prohibit us from giving you this information.

Section 4 - No Right to Cancel

  1. As your pressing of the “Purchase” button acts as an instruction to:
    1. immediately purchase a BP Voucher which is specific to the Transaction you are intending to complete, and
    2. then to redeem the BP Voucher,
  2. you will be treated as expressly requesting that the performance of these Terms will be fully completed instantaneously. As a result, you will have no right of cancellation in respect of these Terms and the services we provide under them. This does not affect any cancellation right you may have in relation to the Transaction, therefore you may still have a right of cancellation with the Merchant in relation to the goods or services you purchase using the BP Voucher.

Section 5 - Service Availability

  1. We reserve the right to temporarily suspend access to the BP Portal for technical, security, or maintenance reasons without these operations entitling you to any compensation. We undertake to limit these types of interruptions to those which are strictly required.

    1. the privacy terms for such websites/resources,
