2.2 When using the SmartPay App on devices for payments in the territory of the Republic of Austria, SmartPay App Users will collect so-called "coffee points" (hereinafter Coffee Points). "Payment by means of the SmartPay App" means, in particular, buying products from a vending machine using a credit balance account (a so-called "digital wallet") as the means of payment, which has to be topped up by the User accordingly. Usually a VISA or Mastercard credit card will be used as the means of payment for the "top-up transaction". However, cafe+co reserves the right to add other payment methods later on. The Coffee Points will be saved in the SmartPay App and may then be used by the User exclusively for offers (hereinafter referred to as an Offer
and jointly as the Offers) which were published via the SmartPay App in connection with the cafe+co bonus programme (hereinafter Bonus Programme), provided that the User has subscribed to the Bonus Programme. Such use of the Coffee Points under the Bonus Programme by means of the SmartPay App shall be subject to the applicable terms and conditions of the relevant provider (hereinafter Provider) of the relevant Offer. Any cash refund for collected Coffee Points shall be excluded.

2.3 Coffee Points shall become forfeited after two (2) years at the end of the relevant quarter year. This period of two (2) years shall be calculated from receipt of the relevant Coffee Points. Users will be notified of forfeiture of their relevant Coffee Points at least 30 days prior to the end of the relevant quarter year.

2.4 If a User has subscribed to the Bonus Programme, s/he shall in any case hold 50 Coffee Points despite forfeiture as defined in Clause 2.3.

2.5 For digital payment instruments and for conclusion of contracts with the relevant Providers separate contracts shall be concluded between the User and the relevant payment service provider and/or Providers which regulate the legal relationship between the User and the payment service provider and/or Provider.
