1. Mpayy Relationship With You

1.1 Mpayy is only a Payment Service Provider. Mpayy helps you make payments to and accept payments from third parties. Mpayy is an independent contractor for all purposes, except that Mpayy acts as your agent only with respect to the custody of your funds. Mpayy does not have control of or liability for the products or services that are paid for with our Service. We do not guarantee the identity of any Member or ensure that a buyer or a seller will complete a transaction.

1.2 Your Privacy. Protecting your privacy is very important to Mpayy. Please review our Privacy Policy in order to better understand our commitment to maintaining your privacy, as well as our use and disclosure of your Information.

1.3 Privacy of Others. If you receive Information about another Mpayy Member through the Service, you must keep the Information confidential and only use it in connection with the Service. You may not disclose or distribute a Mpayy Member's Information to a third party or use the Information for marketing purposes unless you receive the Member's express consent to do so.

1.4 Intellectual Property. "Mpayy.com," "Mpayy," and all related logos, products and services described in our website are either trademarks or registered trademarks of Mpayy. You may not copy, imitate or use them without Mpayy's prior written consent.

2.2 Personal Standard, Personal Universal, Mobile Merchant Standard and Mobile Merchant Universal. We offer four different types of Accounts under this Agreement: Personal Standard, Personal Universal, Mobile Merchant Standard and Mobile Merchant Universal. By opening either Mobile Merchant Account and accepting the terms as outlined in this Agreement, you attest that you are not establishing the Account primarily for personal, family, or household purposes.

2.3 Identity Authentication. You authorize Mpayy, directly or through third parties, to make any inquiries we consider necessary to validate your identity. This may include asking you for further information, requiring you to take steps to confirm ownership of your email address, mobile or cell phone number or financial instruments, ordering a credit report and verifying your Information against third party databases or through other sources. In some circumstances during account opening, Mpayy may perform a USA PATRIOT Act compliant identity verification step, review information against the Office of Foreign Asset Control (“OFAC”) and conduct other reviews to best ensure the safety and security of our Members.

3. Sending Money

3.1 Sending Limits. We may, at our discretion, impose limits on the amount of money you can send through our Service by the type of account you hold. You can view your sending limit by reviewing product information on the website. We may, at our discretion, impose or expand limits on a specific account, regardless of account type. In that event, your spending limit may be viewed by clicking on your account "Dashboard".

3.2 Funding Sources. When you make a purchase, Mpayy will fund your transaction as follows:

1. Balances: If you have a Balance in your Account, Mpayy will always use your Balance to fund your payment.
2. Transfer: If you do not have sufficient Balances to fund the entire amount of the transaction, funds will be transferred to the Merchant and an ACH Debit initiated from your bank account
3. Credit Card (Optional): If you have chosen to provide a credit card, which is not required, you are providing your credit card as an alternative funding source.

If the above is not clear or you do not wish to follow the above-described funding process, do not choose to become a Mpayy Member.

3.3 Funding Source Limitations. In order to manage risk, Mpayy may limit the Funding Sources available for a transaction. If we limit the Funding Sources, this may result in Mpayy not being able to authorize the transaction or use all available Funding Sources.

3.4 Transfers. When a Transfer or ACH Debit is used as your Funding Source or when you move money from you Mpayy account to your bank account, you are requesting an ACH transfer. You agree that such requests constitute your authorization to Mpayy to make the transfers, and once you have provided your authorization for the transfer, you will not be able cancel the electronic transfer. You give Mpayy the right to resubmit any ACH debit you authorized that is returned for insufficient or uncollected funds or other reasons.

4. Receiving Money

4.1 Personal Account Receiving Limit. If you have a Personal Standard Account or Personal Universal Account, you may receive up to 100 transactions per month. Only Balances or Transfers can fund transactions going into Personal Accounts.

4.2 Mobile Merchant Account Receiving Limit. If you have a Mobile Merchant Standard Account or Mobile Merchant Universal Account you may receive an unlimited number transactions. Please note that all payments received by either Mobile Merchant Account will be subject to a Fee in accordance with this Agreement.

4.3 Transaction Review. Transaction Review is a process by which Mpayy reviews certain potentially high-risk transactions. If a payment is subject to Transaction Review, Mpayy will place a hold on the payment and provide notice to the merchant to delay shipping the item. Mpayy will conduct a review and either clear or reverse the payment. If the payment is cleared, Mpayy will provide notice to the merchant to ship the item. Otherwise, Mpayy will reverse the payment and the funds will be returned to the buyer. Mpayy will provide notices to you by email and/or in the Activity section of your Mpayy account.

4.4 Risk of Transaction Dispute. When you receive a payment, you are liable to Mpayy for the full amount of the payment plus any Fees if the payment is later invalidated for any reason. This means that you will be responsible for the amount of the payment, plus the applicable Fees listed in this Agreement if you lose a Dispute from another Member or third party. You agree to allow Mpayy to recover any amounts due to Mpayy by debiting your Balance. If there are insufficient funds in your Balance to cover your liability, you agree to reimburse Mpayy through other means or authorize Mpayy to charge your Buyer Protection Credit Card, if available.

4.5 Dispute Process. In the event of a Dispute, we will place a temporary hold or escrow on the disputed funds plus the Dispute Fee in your Balance until a decision is made. In the event there are insufficient Balances to cover the disputed amount and Dispute Fee, Mpayy will seek to gather sufficient funds by debiting any linked bank account.

A Dispute may also arise with the credit card company if your payment was processed by the Buyer’s credit card. In this event, Mpayy will again place a temporary hold on the disputed funds and Dispute Fee in your Balance until a decision is made. In the event there are insufficient Balances to cover the disputed amount and Dispute Fee, Mpayy will seek to gather sufficient funds by debiting any linked bank. The credit card company, not Mpayy, will determine resolution of the Credit Card Chargeback.

In the event any Dispute is resolved in a manner that results in a reversal of payment, Mpayy may charge a “Buyer Protection Credit Card” linked to the account any amount required but not available in Escrow.

4.6 No Surcharges. You agree that you will not impose a surcharge or any other fee for accepting Mpayy as a payment method. You may charge a handling fee in connection with the sale of goods or services, as long as the handling fee does not operate as a surcharge and is not higher than the handling fee you charge for non-Mpayy transactions.

4.7 Taxes. It is your responsibility to determine what, if any, taxes apply to the payments you make or receive, and it is your responsibility to collect, report and remit the correct tax to the appropriate tax authority. Mpayy is not responsible for determining whether taxes apply to your transaction, or for collecting, reporting or remitting any taxes arising from any transaction.

5. Account Balances

5.1 Balances. You do not need to maintain a Balance in your Account in order to make payments. If you do hold a Balance, Mpayy will hold your funds separate from its corporate funds, will not use your funds for its operating expenses or any other corporate purposes and will not voluntarily make your funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. While your funds are in our custody, Mpayy may combine your funds with the funds of other Members and place those into Pooled Accounts in one or more bank accounts in Mpayy's name.

5.2 Assignment of Interest to Mpayy. You agree that you will not receive interest or other earnings on the funds that Mpayy handles as your agent and places in Pooled Accounts. In consideration for your use of the Service, you irrevocably transfer and assign to Mpayy any ownership right that you may have in any interest that may accrue on funds held in Pooled Accounts. This assignment applies only to interest earned on your funds, and nothing in this Agreement grants Mpayy any ownership right to the principal of the funds you maintain with Mpayy. In addition to or instead of earning interest on Pooled Accounts, Mpayy may receive a reduction in fees or expenses charged for banking services by the banks that hold your funds. All Member funds/Balances are held at U.S. Bank (NYSE: USB).

5.3 Setoff of Balances. If you control more than one Account, then Mpayy may debit one of your Accounts to setoff a negative Balance in another Account, or to pay any amounts that are 180 days past due to a Mpayy affiliate or subsidiary.

5.4 Security Interest. To secure your performance of this Agreement, you grant to Mpayy a lien on and security interest in your Account.

6. Withdrawing Money

6.1 How to Withdraw Money. You may withdraw funds by electronically transferring them to your bank account, sending money to another Member or requesting a physical check through the mail, which is accomplished by sending the Balance amount to [email protected]. Generally, we will send checks only to the address associated with your account. We will not send checks to P.O. Boxes. We may also require additional address verification or perform additional risk reviews prior to mailing a check.

7. Closing Your Account

7.1 How to Close Your Account. You may close your Account at any time by logging into your Account. Upon Account closure, you will remain liable for any authorized transactions. You must withdraw your Balance prior to closing your Account by transferring it to your linked bank account, sending it to another Mpayy Member or requesting a paper check by sending it to [email protected].

7.2 Restrictions on Closing Your Account You may not close your Account to evade an investigation or liability. If you attempt to close your Account while we are conducting an investigation, we may hold your funds for up to 180 Days to protect Mpayy or a third party against the risk of Dispute, Credit Card Chargebacks, fees, fines, penalties and other liability. You will remain liable for all obligations related to your Account even after the Account is closed.

7.3 Escheatment of Dormant Accounts. If you do not log into your Account for two or more years, Mpayy may close your Account and send the Balance to your primary address. If Mpayy does not close your Account and the Account remains dormant, or if Mpayy does close your Account but your primary address is incorrect, Mpayy may be required to escheat your Balance to your state of residency. Mpayy will determine your residency based on the state listed in your primary address. If your address is unknown or registered as a foreign country, your funds will be escheated to the state of Delaware. Where applicable, Mpayy will send you a notice prior to escheating or closing your Account. If you fail to respond to this notice, your Balance will be escheated to the state. If you would like to claim your funds from the state, please contact your state's Unclaimed Property Administrator.

12. Errors and Unauthorized Transactions

12.1 Identifying Errors and/or Unauthorized Transactions. Your transaction history is available at any time by logging in to your Account on the Mpayy website. It is very important that you immediately Suspend your account, via the website, and notify Mpayy if you have reason to believe any of the following activities have occurred: (i) there has been an unauthorized transaction from your Account; (ii) there has been an unauthorized access to your Account; (iii) your Mpayy password has been compromised; or (iv) someone has transferred or may transfer money using your Account without your permission.

12.2 Notifying Mpayy of Errors and/or Unauthorized Transactions. To notify us if you believe there has been an error or unauthorized transaction on your Account, log into your account and click “Activity” then “Payment Detail” to dispute the transaction. This will suspend your Account. You can also suspend you account by telephoning Mpayy Customer Service at (312) 525-8164 between the hours of 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM Central Time, Monday through Friday, or write to Mpayy, Inc. Attn: Resolution Department, 101 North Wacker Drive, Suite 2006, Chicago, IL 60606. We may also require that you send an affidavit of your complaint or question after any telephone or Internet initiated contact.

12.3 Review of Reports of Errors and/or Unauthorized Transactions. We will advise you of the results of our investigation within 10 Business Days after we are contacted. If we have made an error, we will correct it promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 Days to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide that we need more time, we will provisionally re-credit your Account for the amount you think is in error within 10 Business Days after we receive your notice; so that you will have use of the money during the time it takes us to complete our investigation. If you initially provided information to us via the telephone and we do not receive your complaint or question in writing within 10 Business Days after your oral notice, we are not required to provisionally re-credit your Account.

At the end of our investigation, we will advise you of the results. If we determine that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation and we may debit any provisional credit that we previously credited to you in relation to the alleged error. You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation.

12.4 Liability for Unauthorized Transactions. If you report and we verify that there has been Unauthorized Transactions related to your Account, we will reimburse you in full for all unauthorized transactions sent from your Account that occur within 30 Days of the time that you knew or should have known about the Unauthorized Transactions. If you do not report the Unauthorized Transactions to Mpayy within 30 Days of the time that you knew or should have known about it, we will still reimburse you in full for all unauthorized transactions that took place within or before that 30-Day period, but you may be liable for all Unauthorized Transactions that occur on Day 31 and beyond (if we can demonstrate that we could have avoided any losses if you had notified us in a timely manner).

12.5 Errors. If we discover a processing error, we will rectify the error. If the error resulted in your receiving less money than you were entitled to, Mpayy will credit your Account for the difference. If the error results in you receiving more money than you were entitled to, Mpayy may debit the extra funds from your Mpayy Account. If the error resulted in our not completing a transaction on time or in the correct amount, we will be liable for your losses or damages directly and proximately caused by this failure, unless:

1. Through no fault of ours, you did not have enough available funds to complete the transaction
2. Our system was not working properly and you knew about the breakdown when you started the transaction, or
3. Circumstances beyond our control (such as natural disaster, loss of Internet connection, loss of mobile device or cell phone reception) prevented the transaction, despite our reasonable precautions.

13. Buyer Protection Programs

13.1 Buyer Protection. If your account is in Good Standing and you buy an item using Mpayy and you do not receive the item, the item is damaged or not as advertised or described (see below), first, you must attempt to contact the merchant in good faith to resolve the transaction with the merchant.

If you are unable to resolve the situation with the merchant, you may then dispute the transaction in “Payment Detail” subject to the following:

1. Account is in Good Standing
2. You have a receipt for the purchase and order description
3. Transaction was not identified as “All Sales Final”
4. You have not had more than three unsuccessful Disputes
5. Transaction is for a purchase of a non-physical item greater than $10.00
6. The transaction was for items or services that do not or did not violate Mpayy Acceptable Use
7. You agree to supply a signed affidavit in support of your dispute

If the transaction was not marked “Buyer Protected” or “All Sales Final” you may also file a Dispute and Mpayy will investigate the transaction and attempt to resolve it.

If you are unsatisfied with the Mpayy resolution and have a credit card linked to your universal account as an alternative funding source, you may then pursue chargeback options with your credit card issuer.

13.2 Assumption of Rights. If Mpayy pays out a Dispute or Credit Card Chargeback that you file against a recipient of your payment, you agree that Mpayy assumes your rights against the recipient and third parties related to the payment, and may pursue those rights directly or on your behalf, in Mpayy's discretion.

13.3 Filing Deadlines. We will not grant any Dispute unless you first initiate said Dispute via our online Payment Dispute capability within 45 Days of the date of the relevant payment. It is your responsibility to keep track of the deadlines under this section.

13.4 Online Dispute Process. Once you file a Dispute as a buyer, Mpayy will notify the merchant of the Dispute and begin collecting information regarding the disputed transaction. If you subsequently file a Credit Card Chargeback, after the Mpayy Dispute Process, Mpayy may use the content of any collected information to dispute the Chargeback.

13.5 Closing Online Disputes. You or we will close all Disputes in one of the following ways:

1. Dispute as "resolved". The buyer can close the Dispute as "resolved" at anytime by emailing [email protected] with the appropriate detail identifying the Dispute. Once a buyer closes a Dispute as "resolved," we will not allow it to be reopened.
2. Issuing a full refund. The merchant may choose to close the Dispute by issuing a full refund to the buyer.
3. Reaching other settlement. If the merchant and buyer agree to a settlement other than a full refund, both parties agree to notify Mpayy at [email protected] indicating a mutual resolution. Only after receiving confirmation from both parties will Mpayy close the Dispute.
4. Dispute auto-closure after 20 Days. We will automatically close Disputes 20 Days after initiation if the buyer has not responded to a Mpayy request regarding the Dispute. Once we close a Dispute in this way, we will not allow the buyer to re-open the Dispute.
5. Mpayy may close a Dispute if upon learning of a duplicate, concurrent dispute is initiated with a credit card company.

13.6 Not As Advertised or Described. We provide reimbursement for purchase items that are “Not as Advertised or Described” when Mpayy, through its investigation, determines that the merchant materially misrepresented the details of the item.

This does not include cases where the buyer regrets purchasing the item or misunderstood the merchant. Please discuss any purchase in detail with the merchant and review the merchant’s return policies prior to any purchase.

13.7 Relationship between Mpayy Buyer Protection Programs and Credit Card Chargeback Rights. The following information relates to reimbursement for losses from purchases where you used a credit card to fund a Mpayy purchase:

1. Credit Card Chargeback rights, if they apply, are in addition to the Mpayy Buyer Protection and can be filed more than 45 days after the transaction, and may cover transaction disputes not sufficiently satisfied by the Mpayy Buyer Protected Program
2. You can choose to file a Dispute through our “Payment Detail” screen or to exercise your chargeback rights provided to you by your credit card issuer, if applicable. However, you cannot pursue both at the same time or seek a double recovery. If you initiate a Dispute through Mpayy and you then, while the Dispute is being processed, file a chargeback with your credit card issuer, Mpayy will cancel your Dispute, and you will have to rely solely on your credit card chargeback rights.
