When the said time expires, the Tips will be charged in the amount specified by the User (by default or specifically for this trip/service).
3.8. User's cashless payments shall be made with an authorized payment processor or electronic money processor involved and shall be governed by rules of international payment systems, banks (including the bank that issued the Linked card), and other parties to settlements.

If, following the inspection caused by such a request, the Company decides to refund the amount of cashless payment, in whole or in part, the said amount shall be refunded to the bank account of the bank card the cashless payment was made with. The refund shall be made with an authorized payment processor or electronic money processor involved and governed by rules of international payment systems, banks (including the bank that issued the Linked Card), and other parties to settlements.

3.12. The Company reserves the right to require at any time that the User confirm the details they specified in the Service, including the details of the Linked Card, and request supporting documents in this regard (in particular, identity documents); failure to provide these documents may qualify as the provision of unreliable information and have implications stipulated by cl. 2.5 hereof, if the Company thinks fit.
