For the purposes of Article L. 133-6, where a specific payment instrument is used to give consent, the payer and the payment service provider may agree spending limits for payment transactions executed with that payment instrument.
If the deposit account agreement or the payment services framework contract so provides, the payment service provider may reserve the right to block the payment instrument for objectively justified reasons relating to the security of the payment instrument, the presumption of unauthorised or fraudulent use of the payment instrument or the significantly increased risk that the payer will be unable to fulfil his payment obligation.
In such cases, the payment service provider shall, in a manner agreed between the parties, inform the payer of the blocking of the payment instrument and the reasons for it, if possible before the payment instrument is blocked and at the latest immediately thereafter, unless giving such information is not acceptable for objectively justified security reasons or is prohibited under other relevant Community or national legislation.
The payment service provider shall unblock the instrument or replace it with a new payment instrument if the reasons for blocking no longer exist.
The payment service provider shall put in place appropriate means enabling the payment service user to request the unblocking of the payment instrument at any time.
