For the purposes of this provision, a PayMan account is considered closed when you can no longer use your electronic money to perform loading and/or payment transactions or use the service as a whole. Any redemption under this clause is subject to successful completion of applicable checks related to anti-money laundering, fraud, or other illegal activities, and you agree to provide the requested information for such checks. Nothing in this clause limits our right to terminate the contract according to other clauses in these General Terms and Conditions or the provisions of the law.
14.10. Regarding individuals: We will consider the contractual relationship between us to continue until we are notified in writing of your death, at which point we will close your PayMan account with immediate effect.
