The outstanding part of the Automatic Repayment shall remain as part of the Credit Limit Used and shall not be considered a breach of the payment obligation by the Client.
    15. If the Credit Limit of the Card has not been used or if the entire Credit Limit Used has been transferred back to the Limit Account before the Payment Date of the relevant month, the Bank shall not debit the Account with the Automatic Repayment.
    16. If the Credit Limit Used, from which the Operations (incl. the fees and costs related to the respective Operations) of the current month have been deducted, is before the Payment Date of the respective month, smaller than the amount of the Automatic Repayment chosen by the Client, the Bank shall debit from the Account, the amount of the Credit Limit Used from which the Operations (incl. the fees and costs related to the respective Operations) of the current month have been deducted.
    17. Any transfer of money to the Limit Account by the Client, the Card User or a third party shall not be deemed to be part of the Automatic Repayment.

    20. If the Bank is unable to debit the Account on the date specified in the Agreement due to unavailability of funds, the Client shall be considered as having failed to fulfil the payment obligation arising from the Agreement (except if there are insufficient funds on the Account for full or partial Automatic Repayment) and the Bank shall be entitled to block the use of the Card, notifying the Client thereof as soon as possible. The Bank shall unblock the Card within a reasonable period of time after the circumstances serving as the basis for the blocking have been eliminated or have ceased to exist.
    21. If there are insufficient available assets for debiting the amounts agreed in the Agreement at the deadlines agreed in the Agreement, the Client shall pay default interest to the Bank for the debt occurred in the amount allowed by law and the fee for sending the debt notification. The fine for delay and the fee for the debt notice have been established in the Price List. The calculation of the fine for delay shall cease on the day all the amounts due are paid in full.
    22. In the event that the available assets on the Account are insufficient for settling all amounts due under the Agreement on a specific deadline, the Bank shall first debit the Account with the fee for the costs incurred for collecting the debt (including the fee for sending the debt notification), secondly for the amount of the Credit Limit Used owed by the Client (in the event of termination of the Agreement), thirdly for the Interest, and then for other fees and costs.
    23. Upon failure to fulfil the payment obligation, the Client may incur additional costs for collection of the debt (the fees charged by the collection service provider and/or legal costs and/or bailiff's charges).
  6. EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION AND SUBMISSION OF CLAIMS REGARDING THE OPERATIONS PERFORMED

    1. The Bank shall make available for the Client the statement about the Operations performed by the Client and/or Card User, any costs related to the Operations, the amount of the Credit Limit Used and the Fixed Payment and any fees according to the Price List paid by the Client to the Bank in an electronic format via the internet bank (statement of the Account and/or the Limit Account and/or the respective Card).
    2. The Client shall immediately check the accuracy of the Operations performed. All claims related to unauthorised and/or incorrectly performed Operations shall be submitted to the Bank immediately in a format which can be reproduced in writing, but not later than by the term indicated in the applicable legislation (13 months since the Operation was conducted at the time of concluding the Agreement).
    3. Filing a claim (disputing an operation) does not exempt the Client from the obligation to repay the Credit Limit Used (incl. the disputed Operation). The Bank reduces the Credit Limit Used by the sum of the Operation to the extent that it is disputed by the Client and/or the Card User after the respective repayment has been made to the Bank.
    4. If the Client or the Card User has authorised an Operation without knowledge of the precise sum, the Bank is not held liable for the sum of the Operation conducted. In such case the Client and/or the Card User have the right to file a complaint or a refund claim for the respective operation directly to the recipient of the payment arising from the Operation instead of the Bank.
    5. Additional information on the disputing of Operations is available on the website of the Bank.
    6. All other claims and disputes between the Client, the Card User and the Bank shall be settled pursuant to the procedure provided in the General Conditions. If the Bank and the Client fail to reach an agreement in case of a dispute, the dispute shall be settled in court at the location of the Bank, unless the Bank and the Client have agreed otherwise or unless Imperative Provisions stipulate otherwise. Any claims and disputes arising from the use of the Card as the Kaubamaja customer card (the Partner card) shall be solved between the Customer, Card User and Kaubamaja.
    7. In order to settle the dispute out-of-court, the Borrower may also address the committee of consumer complaints of the Consumer Protection Board (address: Pronksi 12, Tallinn 10117, phone: +372 62 01 707, e-mail: info@tarbijakaitseamet.ee, website: www.tarbijakaitseamet.ee).
    8. The Client confirms that he or she agrees to the application of the law of the Republic of Estonia to the relations arising from the Agreement and to the settlement of any disputes in an Estonian court (including in the event that the Client is living in or moves to a foreign country upon entry into the Agreement).
