The Fees for the Services and the Service bundles are provided in the Price List, which is published on the Wallester Website and in the Wallester System.

7.2. If the Parties agree that Wallester provides Services that are not in the Price List or performs other actions that benefit the Client, the Fee is agreed by the Parties separately. If no Fee is agreed beforehand, Wallester is entitled to request payment of Fee which is common for such services.

7.3. In case Wallester exchanges the Client’s funds to another currency in accordance with the Agreement and no Fee is provided for that transaction in the Price List, the exchange is performed by the bank where Wallester deposits the Clients’ funds and with then applicable exchange rate of the bank. Wallester does not apply additional Fee to such transactions. The Client sees the exchange rate in the account statement.

7.4. The Fees are deducted from the funds in the Client’s Account unless a different payment setup is provided in accordance with the Agreement. If a different payment setup has been provided but the Client has not fulfilled its obligations in due time, Wallester may deduct the unpaid fees from the funds in the Client’s Account.

7.5. If the Client has several currencies on the Accounts, the funds in the same currency are used first and if these are not sufficient, the Fee is deducted from the funds in other currencies, in which case Wallester has the right to convert the deducted funds to the same currency as the unpaid Fee. If there are not enough funds on the Client’s Account to pay the Fee, the unpaid part is deducted from the funds that the Client deposits to the Account later.

Regardless of this, if Wallester made the initial decision in good faith and with due care, Wallester has acted in compliance with the Agreement.

8.3.3. If Wallester has fully blocked the Service due to act or omission attributable to the Client, Wallester may request payment of special Account maintenance fee for the duration when the full blocking remains in force for the purpose of covering the expenses that occur to Wallester in connection with preserving the closed Account and the sums in the Account.
