At any time during the term of this Agreement and your use of the Fetch Service, we may require additional information from you to verify beneficial ownership or control of your business, validate information you provided, verify your or your authorized representative’s ("Representative”) identity, and assess the risk associated with your business. This additional information may include business invoices, copies of government-issued identification, business licenses, or other information related to your business, its beneficial owners or principals.

You authorize us to retrieve information about you from our service providers and other third parties, including credit reporting agencies and information bureaus and you authorize and direct such third parties to compile and provide such information to us. You acknowledge that this may include your name, addresses, credit history, and other data about you or your Representative. You acknowledge that we may use your information to verify any other information you provide to us, and that any information we collect may affect our assessment of your overall risk to our business.

4. Your Relationship with Your Payers

You may only use the Fetch Service for legitimate transactions with your Payers.

We are not responsible for the goods or services you publicize or sell, or that your Payers purchase using the Fetch Service, or if you accept donations, for your communication to your Payers of the intended use of such donations. You are solely responsible for the nature and quality of the goods or services you provide, and for delivery, support, refunds, returns, and for any other ancillary goods or services you provide to your Payers.

Although we provide the Fetch Service to you, we have no way of knowing if any particular Transaction is accurate or complete, or typical for your business. You are responsible for knowing whether a Transaction initiated by your Payer is erroneous or suspicious. If you are unsure if a Transaction is erroneous or suspicious, you agree to research the Transaction and, if necessary, contact your Payer before fulfilling or completing the Transaction. You are solely responsible for any losses you incur due to erroneous or fraudulent Transactions in connection with your use of the Fetch Service.

It is very important to us that your Payers understand the purpose, amount, and conditions of Charges you submit to us. With that in mind, when using the Fetch Service you agree to: (a) accurately communicate, and not misrepresent, the nature of the Transaction, and the amount of the Charge; (b) provide Payers a meaningful way to contact you in the event that the goods or services are not provided as described; (c) not use Services to sell goods or services in a manner that is unfair or deceptive, exposes Payers to unreasonable risks, or does not disclose material terms of a purchase in advance.

You also agree to maintain and make available to your Payers a fair and neutral return, refund, cancellation, or adjustment policy, and clearly explain the process by which Payers can receive a Refund. If you engage in Transactions with Payers who are individuals (i.e. consumers), you specifically agree to provide all consumer disclosures required by Law.

You agree to indemnify us and our subsidiaries, agents, licensors, managers, and other affiliated companies, and our and their staff members, contractors, agents, officers and directors for any claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debt, and expenses (including the actual legal fees charged by our solicitors) we suffer or incur arising out of or related to your failure to properly describe or deliver goods or services, or comply with your legal or contractual obligations to your Payers.

5. Support

We will provide you with support to resolve general issues relating to your User Account and your use of the Fetch Service.

You are solely responsible for providing support to your Payers regarding any Transaction receipts other than those provided by the Fetch Service, goods or service delivery, support, returns, refunds, and any other issues related to your goods and services and business activities. Unless we have agreed otherwise in a separate agreement with you or your Payers, we are not responsible for providing support for the Fetch Service to your Payers.

6. Processing Transactions; Disputes, Refunds, Reversals

You may only submit Charges through the Fetch Service that are authorized by your Payers. To enable us to process Charges for you, you authorize and direct us, our affiliates, the Payment Method Providers and Payment Method Acquirers to receive and settle any payment processing proceeds owed to you through the Fetch Service. You may not, other than as required by the Payment Method Rules, grant or assign any interest in payment processing proceeds to any third party until such time as the payment processing proceeds are deposited into your Payout Account.

We are not responsible for or liable to you for authorized and completed Charges that are later the subject of a Dispute, Refund, or Reversal, are submitted without authorization or in error, or violate any Laws.

You are immediately responsible to us for all Disputes, Reversals, or Fines regardless of the reason or timing. We may delay execution of payouts or terminate your User Account should a Dispute, or Reversal against your account occur.

Should a Dispute or Reversal occur you agree to fully cooperate and provide all supporting evidence and documentation requested by us to submit against the case. You also agree that we may: (a) withhold execution of payouts equal to or greater than the Dispute or Reversal amount; (b) suspend or terminate your User Account and you agree to: (c) to reimburse us for the amount of the Dispute or Reversal as well as any associated fees until the Dispute or Reversal is ruled in your favour. This reimbursement must be done by bank transfer to the bank account instructed by us within 3 business days after our notification of Dispute or Reversal and request for reimbursement. If the Dispute or Reversal is ruled in your favour these funds will be returned to you within 3 business days. If the Dispute or Reversal is ruled in the Payer’s favour these funds will not be returned to you.

We do not and will not insure you against losses caused by fraud under any circumstances. Even if we work with you to assist you or law enforcement in recovering lost funds, we are not liable to you, or responsible for your financial losses or any other consequences of such fraud. Our Services provide security controls to mitigate the risk of fraud losses, but we do not guarantee no fraudulent transactions can occur.

You must not agree to or initiate any refund or cancellation through the Fetch Service. All refunds issued to your Payer must be handled outside of the Fetch Service. If your Payer requests a refund this must be handled directly between you and your Payer. We will not be responsible for issuing or resolving any requests for refunds.

7. Payment Method Rules

You must comply with all applicable Payment Method Rules.

The Payment Method Rules state that you may only accept payments using payment cards for bona fide legal commercial transactions between you and your Payers for goods or services that are free of liens, claims, and encumbrances. You may only use payment network trademarks or service marks consistent with the Payment Method Rules, and the Payment Method Rules also limit your ability to discriminate by card type or charge surcharges for acceptance of payment cards.

The Payment Method Providers may amend their Payment Method Rules at any time without notice to you, and we reserve the right to change the Fetch Service at any time to comply with the Payment Method Rules. We may share with the Payment Method Provider (and the Payment Method Acquirer) information you provide to us that we use to identify the nature of your goods or services, including the assignment of your business activities to a particular payment network merchant category code.

If you misuse the Fetch Service or engage in activity the Payment Method Provider identifies as damaging to their brand, or if we are required to do so by the Payment Method Rules, we may submit information about you, Representatives, your beneficial owners and principals, and other individuals associated with your User Account, to the terminated merchant listings maintained by the Payment Method Providers. Addition to one of these lists may result in your inability to accept payments from payment cards. You understand and consent to our sharing this information and to the listing itself, and you will fully reimburse us for any losses we incur from third-party claims, and you waive your rights to bring any direct claims against us that result from such reporting. Our reporting of information under this paragraph is separate from any other right that we may exercise under this Agreement, and we may separately terminate this Agreement or suspend your User Account due to the misuse or damaging activity that caused us to make the report.

8. Service Requirements, Limitations and Restrictions

You must comply with all Laws applicable to your use of the Fetch Service and to Transactions.  As applicable, this may include compliance with domestic and international Laws related to the use or provision of financial services, notification and consumer protection, unfair competition, privacy, and false advertising, and any other Laws relevant to Transactions.

You must not:

(a)  use the Fetch Service to enable any person (including you) to benefit from any Prohibited Business, to facilitate illegal Transactions, or for personal, family or household purposes; or

(b)  act, or allow others to act, as service bureau or pass-through agent for the Fetch Service with no added value to Payers.

9. Suspicion of Unauthorized or Illegal Use

We may refuse, condition, or suspend any Transactions that we believe:

(a)  may violate this Agreement;

(b)  are unauthorized, fraudulent or illegal; or

(c)  expose you, us, or others to risks that are unacceptable to us.

If we suspect or know that you are using or have used the Fetch Service for unauthorized, fraudulent, or illegal purposes, we may share any information related to such activity with the appropriate financial institution, regulatory authority, or law enforcement agency consistent with our legal obligations. This information may include information about you, your User Account, your Payers, and Charges made through your use of the Fetch Service.

10. Settlement and Payout Schedule

A.    Your Payout Account

We will settle funds to your designated bank Payout Account. You affirm that you are authorized to initiate settlements to the Payout Account, and that the Payout Account is owned by you, and administered and managed by a financial institution located in the country in which your business is registered.

To update your Payout Account, you must contact us at support@ipaymy.com. If you request to update your Payout Account, then you must ensure that you continue to comply with the requirements of this section. We may require you to provide us with documentation providing proof demonstrating your compliance with this section, and your failure to provide such proof will constitute a breach of this Agreement.

B.    Payout Schedule

The time it takes for us to initiate settlement to your Payout Account (“Payout Schedule”) is specified on our Site and all upcoming payouts will be indicated on your dashboard.

With your first transaction we may require a holding period before making initial settlement to the Payout Account. After the initial settlement of funds, we will settle funds to the Payout Account according to the Payout Schedule. However, please be aware that a Payment Method Provider, a Payment Method Acquirer, or the financial institution holding your Payout Account, may delay settlement for any reason. We are not responsible for any action taken by the institution holding your Payout Account to not credit the Payout Account or to otherwise not make funds available to you as you expect.

We reserve the right to change the Payout Schedule or to suspend settlement to you. Examples of situations where we may do so are: (a) where there are pending, anticipated, or excessive Disputes, Refunds, or Reversals; (b) in the event that we suspect or become aware of suspicious activity; or (c) where we are required by Law or court order.

We have the right to withhold settlement to your Payout Account upon termination of this Agreement if we reasonably determine that we may incur losses resulting from credit, fraud, or other legal risks associated with your User Account. If we exercise our right to withhold a Payout for any reason, we will communicate the general reason for withholding the Payout and give you an anticipated timeline for releasing the funds.

C.    Incorrect Settlement

The information required for settlement will depend on the financial institution holding the Payout Account. Please make sure that any information about the Payout Accounts that you provide to us is accurate and complete. If you provide us with incorrect information: (a) you understand that funds may be settled to the wrong account and that we may not be able to recover the funds from such incorrect transactions; and (b) you agree that you are solely responsible for any losses you or third parties incur due to erroneous settlement transactions, you will not make any claims against us related to such erroneous settlement transactions, and you will fully reimburse us for any losses we incur.

11. Fees and Fines

We may revise the Fees at any time. However, we will provide you with at least 30 days’ advance notice before revisions become applicable to you.

In addition to the Fees, you are also responsible for any penalties or fines imposed in relation to your User Account on you or us, by any Payment Method Provider, Payment Method Acquirer or us resulting from your use of Fetch Service in a manner not permitted by this Agreement or the applicable Payment Method Rules.

You are solely responsible for, and we disclaim all liability for, the provision of any goods or services sold to your Payers as part of your use of the Fetch Service, and any obligations you may owe to your Payers. You will, at all times, remain liable to us for Disputes (including chargebacks), Refunds, and any fines that arise from your use of the Fetch Service.

You are also obligated to pay all taxes, fees and other charges imposed by any governmental authority, including any applicable goods and services, value-added, sales or other similar tax on the Fetch Service.

12. Taxes and Other Expenses

The Fees are exclusive of any applicable taxes.

You have sole responsibility and liability for:

(a)  determining what, if any, taxes apply to the sale of your goods and services, acceptance of donations, or Payments you receive in connection with your use of the Fetch Service; and

(b)  assessing, collecting, reporting, and remitting taxes for your business to the appropriate tax and revenue authorities.

You acknowledge that we will report the total amount of Payments you receive each calendar year as required by the appropriate tax and revenue authorities.

13. Termination

In addition to our termination rights set out in clause 24 of the Terms, we may terminate this Agreement or close your User Account at any time for any reason including if:

(a)  we determine in our sole discretion that you are ineligible for the Fetch Service because of significant fraud or credit risk, or any other risks associated with your User Account;

(b)  you use the Fetch Service in a prohibited manner or otherwise do not comply with any of the provisions of this Agreement;

(c)  any Law, Payment Method Provider or Payment Method Acquirer requires us to do so; or

(d)  we are otherwise entitled to do so under this Agreement.

Termination does not immediately relieve you of obligations incurred by you under this Agreement. Upon termination, you agree to stop accepting new Transactions and initiating Charges through the Fetch Service. If you terminate this Agreement, we will pay out any remaining funds owed to you.

In addition, upon termination you understand and agree that you are still liable to us for any Fees or fines, or other financial obligation incurred by you or through your use of the Fetch Service prior to termination.
