The payment service user shall report an unauthorised or incorrectly executed payment transaction to his payment service provider without delay and at the latest within thirteen months of the debit date, failing which the payment service user shall be barred unless the payment service provider has not provided him with or made available to him the information relating to that payment transaction in accordance with Chapter IV of Title 1 of Book III.

Except in cases where the payment service user is a natural person acting for non-business purposes, the parties may agree on a time limit different from that provided for in this article.
