3. Lunu Widget, Pay-by-Link, POS Terminal
Lunu offers the following services to retailers:
POS Terminal. If a Customer wants to pay with cryptocurrencies at POS, the Retailer will have to enter the purchase price in local currency into the POS Terminal. Thereafter the final amount in crypto currency based on the best available exchange rate at that point in time will be displayed with a QR code. The Customer needs to scan the QR code with their mobile device and makes the payment.
Pay-by-Link. In the Lunu Console, the Retailer can generate payment requests, setting the amount to be paid, Customer's name, email and other payment details (order ID, currency, invoice attachment) and sharing a one-time link to the Widget with Customers by email to facilitate payments through the Lunu Service anywhere in the world ("Pay-by-Link"). Using the link from the received email, the Customer launches the Widget and makes the payment.
Lunu has agreed to provide the Retailer with access to its Pay-by-Link solution globally, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
Widget. In this Agreement, “Widget” means the software code supplied by Lunu to be integrated with the Retailer's platform in order to enable Customers to view prices displayed in, and pay for products on the Retailer's e-commerce platform in cryptocurrencies through the Lunu Services.
The Retailer shall download and integrate the Widget with its e-commerce platform and Lunu grants the Retailer a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to download, integrate and use the Widget for the purpose of displaying prices to and accepting payment from Customers in cryptocurrency through the Lunu Services, in accordance with and subject to the Terms and Conditions of this Agreement.
If the Customer chooses to pay with crypto currencies, the Widget is activated and displays the final amount in crypto currency based on the best available exchange rate as described in Section 4, along with the QR code generated. If the Customer agrees to the exchange rate offered he/she needs to scan the QR code with their mobile device and it will initiate the transaction.
4. Conversion, pay-out, refund
The Retailer appoints Lunu as its agent solely for the limited purpose of accepting cryptocurrency from the Customers on the Retailer's behalf in connection with the Retailer's sale of goods and services to Customers. Payment from a Customer to Lunu is considered the same as payment made directly to the Retailer by the Customer. Upon a Customer's payment of cryptocurrencies to Lunu, the Customer's paymentobligation to the Retailer for an amount equal to the cryptocurrency transferred to Lunu is terminated, and Lunu is instead responsible for transferring an amount of funds to the Retailer that is equal to the amount of cryptocurrency received from the Customer. The Retailer's recourse is only against Lunu if Lunu fails to transfer the corresponding amount of funds to the Retailer.
Lunu shall determine the exchange rate applicable to: (i) any fiat currency amounts entered by the Retailer into the Lunu Services for the purpose of displaying prices in cryptocurrency to Customers; (ii) any transfer of funds to the Retailer; and (iii) any refunds paid by the Retailer to the Customer, in each case by selecting from the rates made available by third party providers integrated with the Lunu Services at the time of the transaction. Lunu does not warrant that the exchange rate applied to such payments will be the best available on the market.
If the total balance is not less than respectively 200 (two hundred) EUR or 200 (two hundred) GBP or 500 (five hundred) USD, Lunu will transfer the funds to the Retailer's bank account daily, minus the Lunu Services fees (cf. Section 7).
All refunds shall be made in cryptocurrency minus network fee (which shall be borne by the Retailer, notwithstanding the customer refund). More details as further described in section 7 of Terms of Use.
5. Availability of Lunu Service
Lunu provides an average availability of 99.9% (based on the calendar year) of the Lunu Service.
The Lunu Service shall be deemed to be available if it is available via the Internet. This connection exists if the Lunu Services allow a diagnostic request from the widget or POS Terminal(s).
Maintenance times are not taken into account when determining availability:
To ensure the quality and further development of the platform, Lunu may announce maintenance windows, in which it may be that the Lunu Services are not provided. This time is not taken into account when calculating availability. As far as possible, Lunu will set the maintenance windows to times of low capacity utilization. Maintenance windows will be announced to the Retailer by Email provided by Retailers or in the Retailer's Console and with due advance notice.
The calculation of availability also does not take into account such times in which the Lunu Services are not available due to urgent adjustments or updates of the IT infrastructure used for the systems to eliminate security gaps, acutely unstable software/hardware or even in the event of imminent danger, such as ongoing attacks. In these cases, Lunu can also schedule unplanned and unannounced maintenance times. Lunu will, however, try to inform the Retailer immediately and to keep the Retailer informed of the status of processing.
The Retailer is solely responsible for: (i) procuring and maintaining its network connections and telecommunication links from its systems in order to access and use the Lunu Services; (ii) ensuring that its network and systems, including any internet browsers and operating systems, comply with any relevant specifications provided by Lunu in writing (including email) from time to time. Lunu shall not be responsible for down-times due to lack of internet connectivity or technical difficulties on part of the Retailer, or any failure by the Retailer to maintain its browsers, systems and network in accordance with any specifications provided by Lunu.
Lunu has the right to suspend the Lunu Services temporarily if this is necessary in view of the security or integrity of the servers or to carry out technical measures, and if this serves the proper or improved provision of the Lunu Service. Such suspension shall also not be taken into account with regard to availability.
6. Settlement Statements
Lunu shall make available to the Retailer, through the Retailer's Console, settlement statements setting out the amounts collected by Lunu on behalf of the Retailer.
The Retailer shall regularly retrieve and check the settlement statements. The Retailer must notify Lunu of any dispute in relation to the settlement statements within six (6) months of such statements being made available on the Lunu Services.
7. Service Fees and payment terms
The applicable service fees for the Lunu Services are 1% of each amount transferred to the Retailer by Lunu in connection with the provision of the Lunu Services (“Service Fees”). The Retailer shall pay the Service Fees as set out in Appendix 1 at the same time as the payment of the fiat currency transaction amount to the Retailer, and Lunu shall deduct the Service Fees from the amount of fiat that Lunu transfers to the Retailer's account.
All Service Fees are payable in the fiat currency transferred to the Retailer by Lunu and are inclusive of value added tax (or any equivalent tax in any jurisdiction).
8. Retailer's obligations
The Retailer shall inform the Customer prior to accepting the Customer's payment in cryptocurrencies that: (i) a payment with cryptocurrencies cannot be reversed and that the Customer cannot receive a refund in local currency but only in the currency that was used for purchase (ii) the Customer will receive the refund in cryptocurrency but equal to the amount of the local currency inputted by the Retailer at the time of the initial purchase; (iii) this amount will be converted at the time of the refund using the best available exchange rate determined in accordance with section 4 above, less any applicable network fees as set out in Appendix 1.
The Retailer:
The Retailer is obliged to keep the information provided in the Retailer Console up-to-date and accurate.
9. Special Provisions for the sale of POS Terminals (only applicable if the Retailer
chooses to buy a POS Terminal)
The Retailer may place orders for POS Terminal(s) through the Retailer Console (each, an “Order”) once the Retailer has received access to the Console.
The Retailer may log into the Retailer Console and select “Order Terminal” in the website menu. The Retailer then selects the device(s) and adds them to the shopping cart. On the following page the Retailer will receive an overview over the data submitted and can correct it if necessary, by clicking on the "back" button. By clicking on "buy now", the Retailer is placing a binding order for the POS Terminal(s) and related items in the shopping cart.
Each Order constitutes an offer by the Retailer to purchase the POS Terminal(s) specified in that Order in accordance with this Agreement. The Retailer is responsible for ensuring that any information submitted by it in connection with an Order is complete and accurate.
Once the Retailer has submitted the Order, Lunu will send an Email confirmation of the Order to the Retailer's Email as provided in the Retailer Console as well as an invoice.
Each Order shall only be deemed accepted when Lunu issues an email acceptance of the Order to the Retailer, at which point the contract for the sale and purchase of the POS Terminal(s) shall come into existence.
The price of any POS Terminal(s) (the “Purchase Price”) displayed on the Lunu Console includes any applicable value added tax (or equivalent tax in any jurisdiction) and includes the cost and charges of packing, insurance and transport of the POS Terminal(s) to the address specified in the Order.
By submitting an Order, the Retailer acknowledges that it will be under an obligation to pay for the POS Terminal(s) in that Order. Lunu shall provide the Retailer with an invoicein respect of the Purchase Price due upon acceptance of the Order, and the Retailer shall pay any such invoice promptly and in any event within 30 (thirty) days of the date of the invoice. The Order shall be paid, without any deduction, in EUR by wire transfer to the bank account of Lunu as indicated in the invoice. Shipment of the POS Terminal(s) will take place after the Order is submitted.
Lunu shall ship any POS Terminal(s) to the address set out in the Order (the “Delivery Location”). Any dates quoted for delivery are approximate only, and the time of delivery is not of the essence. Lunu shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of the POS Terminal(s). The risk and title in the POS Terminal(s) shall pass to the Retailer on delivery of the POS Terminal(s) in accordance with this section 9.
Lunu grants the Retailer a worldwide perpetual, non-exclusive right to use the software pre-installed on the POS Terminals (the “Firmware”) solely for the purpose of using the POS Terminal(s) to receive and process transactions through the Lunu Services. If the software is replaced by a new version during the 12 months’ warranty period, the terms of use for the new version shall apply and the rights of use for the replaced version shall lapse.
Any samples, drawings or advertising produced by Lunu and any descriptions or illustrations contained on the Lunu Services or Lunu’s website are produced for illustrative purposes only. The Retailer acknowledges that the POS Terminal(s) may vary in non-material respects from any images and descriptions provided by Lunu and, to the extent permitted under applicable law, Lunu excludes any warranties, representations or conditions that the POS Terminal(s) will match any descriptions or illustrations provided by Lunu.
The Retailer must immediately inspect the POS Terminals delivered by Lunu in accordance with Section 377 HGB (German Commercial Code) and report any defects without undue delay.
The Retailer's claim for supplementary performance is limited to a claim for delivery of an equivalent defect-free replacement POS Terminal. The Retailer's right to revoke the contract or to reduce the purchase price shall remain unaffected.
Defects in the software are treated as material defects. However, a defect only exists if the software of the POS Terminal deviates significantly from the functions described in the documentation of the POS Terminal and this leads to a significant functional restriction without any objective reason (e.g. upgrade in the meantime, changed legal requirements). Minor defects are not significant.
The defects liability period is one (1) year from delivery of the POS Terminal(s) purchased. This limitation period also applies to contractual and non-contractual claims for damages by the Retailer based on a defect in the POS Terminal(s), unless the application of the regular statutory limitation period (§§ 195, 199 BGB) would leadto a shorter limitation period in individual cases.
The limitation periods of the Product Liability Act remain unaffected by this.
For other damage claims of the Retailer, solely the statutory limitation periods apply.
