5.3- Payment Terms

The accepted means of payment are credit card, automatic debit, and SEPA transfer.

The client can terminate the continuous authority on a card by deleting it as a payment method on their Client Area, a secure personal space. During payment and when entering the client's credit card, Stipe's secure servers use the HTTPS protocol (meaning that the connection between your computer or mobile and the payment server is encrypted using SSL protocol). No information related to the client's credit card passes through the company's website. The company never records data related to the client's credit card. With the encryption system, the bank details (payment card number and expiration date) provided by the client cannot be intercepted by a third party.

- Direct Debits: By providing their bank details (IBAN, BIC) to Ween.ai:

  • The Client agrees in advance and unconditionally to the SEPA direct debit mandate and that Ween.ai may use these payment methods to collect the amounts owed.
