Security and Fraud Protection

The Client is responsible for safeguarding the Security Elements associated with electronic Payment instruments used for conducting transactions. To ensure their security and prevent fraud or unauthorized use, the Client must take all necessary precautions, to safeguard the security elements. Any consequences arising from the Client's improper use of communication and data transfer methods or electronic Payment Operations will be entirely the Client's responsibility and at their own risk.

COBBYPAY strongly advises Clients to take reasonable precautions in ensuring the security of their Payment instruments, tools, and devices used for making payments. This includes the following practices:
Creating robust and secure passwords.
Safeguarding passwords and credentials by using Password Managers or other secure storage methods.
Avoiding the sharing of login and authorization credentials with others.
Recommending the use of team member access and permissions to grant access and issuing individual credentials for any other authorized users of Payment instruments.
Clients should refrain from actions that could enable unauthorized access to payment tools, such as:
Writing down credentials in an easily noticeable manner.
Granting access to devices where credentials are stored or easily accessible.
Periodically, COBBYPAY will communicate with Clients to provide reminders and advice on how to enhance the security of their accounts. The Client is required to promptly inform COBBYPAY in the event they discover the loss, theft of their Security Elements, unauthorized use of their Payment instrument, or any other unauthorized transactions on their account. This notification should be made through the contact options provided by COBBYPAY. Until COBBYPAY receives this notification, the Client will be held fully responsible and will be responsible for any losses or damages incurred due to unauthorized Payment Operations resulting from any of the mentioned situations. Upon receiving notification from the Client and in situations where there are valid security concerns related to the Payment instrument or suspicion of unauthorized or fraudulent use, COBBYPAY will take the necessary action to block the Payment instrument. During this period, COBBYPAY will not be held responsible for any losses incurred by the Client due to inappropriate use of the instrument.

This responsibility lies with the Client until the notification is received by COBBYPAY or until COBBYPAY takes action to block the Payment instrument based on its decision.

The Client will be responsible for any losses stemming from unauthorized Payment Operations resulting from the use of a lost or stolen Payment instrument, as well as losses arising from unauthorized use of the Payment instrument in cases where the personalized Security Elements were not kept secure, up until the moment when the notification is made.

COBBYPAY will promptly inform the Client if there is suspicion of fraud, actual fraud, or if there are security threats related to a service and/or Payment Instrument, following its internal procedures. COBBYPAY will also inform the Client about the reasons for blocking a Payment Instrument unless disclosing such information would jeopardize legitimate security concerns or is prohibited by other applicable legal regulations. As per legal requirements, COBBYPAY may employ various communication methods to notify the Client in the event of any payment service becoming unavailable.

COBBYPAY employs the latest online security measures to ensure the protection of the Customer's personal information and privacy. These measures include, but are not limited to, the following:
1.    Identity Confirmation: COBBYPAY will request the Client to confirm their identity using current security procedures. This may involve providing specific information (e.g., answers to security questions), partial digits of certain passcodes, or codes generated through Two-Factor Authentication, known only to the Client.

2.    Secure Electronic Channels: COBBYPAY makes every effort to ensure the security of Electronic Channels. This includes keeping records of all online messages, instructions, or transactions conducted through these channels, along with timestamps.

3.    Encryption: All COBBYPAY websites are encrypted.

4.    Two-Factor Authentication: Depending on the type of Electronic Channels used, users have an option to activate authentication using Two-Factor Authentication. If you receive an authentication code without initiating an action, it's important to contact COBBYPAY promptly.

5.    Malware and Phishing Protection: COBBYPAY employs systems to detect potential malware or phishing attacks, safeguarding Client accounts. Fraud-detection systems are also in place to identify unusual transactions and prevent fraud, money laundering, and illicit activities.

6.    Compliance with Regulations: COBBYPAY is obliged to adhere to any restrictions imposed by the UK Government or the international community concerning the provision of payment and banking services to individuals or organizations listed under relevant sanctions or embargoes. This may entail COBBYPAY investigating or monitoring payments to and from the Client's account. COBBYPAY may also need to investigate the source of funds or the intended recipient, which could lead to delays in processing payment instructions or receiving cleared funds. Whenever possible and when not prohibited by the law, COBBYPAY will communicate the reasons for the delay and provide an estimated duration.
