8. Closure of Customer Account

8.1. You may request that JumiaPay closes your Customer Account at any time by contacting JumiaPay Customer Support. Contact details for the JumiaPay Customer Support are available on the Site. Closure of your Customer Account will not cancel any transactions which you have already undertaken which are pending payment from your electronic money in your Customer Account.

8.2. JumiaPay at its sole discretion may close a Customer Account at any time upon at least one (1) week notice to the Customer and will contact the Customer to arrange for the refund of any electronic money in your Customer Account. The Customer shall remain liable for all obligations related to his/her Customer Account even after closure of the account for up to 180 days. The Customer may not use closure of his account as a means of evading liabilities - if an investigation is pending at the time the Customer closes his account, JumiaPay may continue to hold his funds for up to 180 days in order to protect JumiaPay against any risk of reversals.

8.3. If you do not log in to your Customer Account for more than six (6) months, and there are no funds remaining in your Customer Account, JumiaPay will treat your account as dormant and may suspend your Customer Account. If your account is suspended, you should contact JumiaPay Customer Support to reactivate your Customer Account. JumiaPay will reactivate your Customer Account at its sole discretion and subject to JumiaPay’s policies and procedures.

8.4. JumiaPay may, at any time, at its sole discretion, discontinue your use of your Customer Account or the Customer Services or any part thereof. JumiaPay shall endeavor to provide notice of any such discontinuation of your Customer Account or the Customer Services. You agree that JumiaPay shall not be liable to you or any third party in relation to any inability for you to access to your Customer Account or the Customer Services or any part thereof.

8.5. JumiaPay will refund to you any electronic money which is in your Customer Account as soon as practicable after its closure by the most suitable payment method which JumiaPay, in its sole discretion, shall direct to the Customer, provided that the Customer provides JumiaPay with either:

a. valid bank account details where the name and address details of the bank account holder match the name and address details of the registered Customer on the Site; or

b. a copy of a valid form of ID acceptable in its sole discretion to JumiaPay (e.g. a passport or driving license). JumiaPay has the right not to return disputed funds or any funds which relate to a breach of this Customer Agreement until such time as the dispute in relation to such funds has been resolved or, in relation to a breach of this Customer Agreement, a court of competent jurisdiction has determined the matter.

8.6. JumiaPay reserve the right to carry out any necessary money laundering, terrorism financing, fraud or other illegal activity checks before authorizing any withdrawal of your funds, including in relation to returning any funds to you after you have closed your Customer Account.

This is without prejudice to any other rights or remedies of JumiaPay under this Customer Agreement or otherwise.
