such Order shall be deemed to have been duly executed if it has

provided that the funds are received by the latest time of
crediting specified in the General T&C (or other official
information published by Us).
- Where payment transactions are executed in euro in Lithuania or
in other Member States of the European Union, We undertake to
ensure that, upon receipt of an Order, the payment transaction

payee's Account are held at the Institution) or by the end of
the next Business Day at the latest (where the payee's Account
is held at another financial institution).

transaction.

payment transactions made on the Account and notify Us in
writing (by e-mail) of unauthorised or improperly made payment
transactions, of funds not belonging to You that have been
credited to the Account, and inform Us of any other errors,
inconsistencies or inaccuracies in the Account and in the
related payment transactions. Your notification must be given
promptly, but no later than 30 calendar days from the date on
which We have made the payment transaction that You specify as
unauthorised or improperly executed. If You do not submit the
notification within the specified time, it shall be deemed that
You have unconditionally accepted the payment transactions
performed on the Account.
- Upon receipt of Your notification of an unauthorised payment
transaction and upon being satisfied that there is no intent,
gross negligence or dishonesty on Your part in relation to such
transaction, We shall immediately refund the amount of the
unauthorised payment transaction to You and reinstate the
balance of the Account from which the amount was debited to that
which would have existed had the unauthorised payment
transaction not been made, except as provided for in the General
T&C and the Agreement, where the liability for the unauthorised
payment transaction is on You. Your notification must be
