Our team applies its wide ranging in experience to determining.
By opening and using a PayNow account, you agree to comply with all of the terms and conditions of this user agreement, including the Fee pages, and any upcoming changes described on the Policy Updates page at the time you accept this user agreement (which changes will apply to you on the indicated effective dates).
We offer two types of PayNow accounts: PayNow personal accounts (or “personal accounts”) and PayNow agent accounts (or “business accounts”), both covered by this user agreement.
You are responsible for maintaining adequate security and control of any and all IDs, passwords, personal identification numbers, or any other codes that you use to access your PayNow account and the PayNow services. You must keep your mailing address, email address and other contact information current in your PayNow account profile.
You can send money to a friend or family member using the send money feature in your PayNow account. You can send money to a friend or family member even if they don’t have an eligible PayNow account at the time you send them money, using their email address or mobile number in any currency that PayNow supports, and you can choose which payment method you want to use. If the person to whom you are sending money does not have an eligible PayNow account, they can claim it by opening an eligible PayNow account. If they don’t claim it, it will be refunded to you.
We may, at our discretion, impose limits on the amount of money you can send, including money you send for purchases.
When you send money to a friend or family member who has an eligible PayNow account, one of two things may happen: they may accept or decline the money. If they decline to accept the money, the money (including any fees you were charged) will be refunded to:
If the seller you are buying from sells goods or services and that seller does not already have a PayNow account, they can claim your payment by opening a PayNow account. If they don’t open a PayNow account within 30 days, your purchase will be refunded.
You can choose any of the payment methods in your PayNow account as your preferred payment method. You can select a preferred payment method in your account preferences on www.PayNow.com or in the PayNow app. There may be times when your preferred payment method cannot be used, for example, if you select a credit card that is expired.
You can set separate preferred payment methods for online transactions, in-store transactions, and each of your automatic payment agreements, as described below.
If you have chosen a preferred payment method, it will be shown as the primary method of payment.
If no preferred payment method, it’s still your choice.
The availability of certain payment methods may be limited based on that particular seller or the third-party website you are using to complete the transaction.
If you have not selected a preferred payment method, or your preferred payment method is unavailable, we will show you available payment methods, including the payment method you used most often or most recently, at the time of transaction. You can also click on the “Manage” link to see all of your available payment methods, or add a new one, and select a payment method during the transaction.
You may close your PayNow account and terminate your relationship with us at any time without cost, but you will remain liable for all obligations related to your PayNow account even after the PayNow account is closed. When you close your PayNow account, we will cancel any scheduled or incomplete transactions. If you have a Balance Account linked to a personal account, you must withdraw or transfer any funds held in your Balance Account before closing your personal account, and closing a personal account will result in PayNow automatically closing any linked Balance Account.
If you have an agent account, you must withdraw or transfer any balance from your agent account before closing it, and if you have not provided the required identifying information to us, or if we are unable to verify the required identifying information you provide, you must transfer any balance in your agent account to a linked bank account or debit card. You cannot withdraw or transfer digital gift certificates/cards that are purchased through PayNow Digital Gifts and linked to your personal or agent account as payment methods.
In connection with your use of our websites, your PayNow account, the PayNow services, or in the course of your interactions with PayNow, other PayNow customers, or third parties, you must not:
If we believe that you’ve engaged in any of these activities, we may take a number of actions to protect PayNow, its customers and others at any time in our sole discretion. The actions we may take include, but are not limited to, the following:
If we close your PayNow account or terminate your use of the PayNow services for any reason, we’ll provide you with notice of our actions and make any unrestricted funds held in the balance of your Balance Account linked to your personal account or in the balance of your business account, or any money waiting to be claimed through your personal account if you do not have a Balance Account linked to your personal account, available for withdrawal.
You are responsible for all reversals, chargebacks, claims, fees, fines, penalties and other liability incurred by PayNow, any PayNow customer, or a third party caused by or arising out of your breach of this agreement, and/or your use of the PayNow services.
The PayNow services are provided “as-is” and without any representation or warranty, whether express, implied or statutory. PayNow specifically disclaims any implied warranties of title, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.
PayNow does not have any control over the products or services provided by sellers who accept PayNow as a payment method, and PayNow cannot ensure that a buyer or a seller you are dealing with will actually complete the transaction or is authorized to do so. PayNow does not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted or secure access to any part of the PayNow services, and operation of our websites, software, or systems (including any networks and servers used to provide any of the PayNow services) operated by us or on our behalf may be interfered with by numerous factors outside of our control. PayNow will make reasonable efforts to ensure that requests for electronic debits and credits involving bank accounts, debit cards, credit cards, and check issuances are processed in a timely manner but PayNow makes no representations or warranties regarding the amount of time needed to complete processing because the PayNow services are dependent upon many factors outside of our control, such as delays in the banking system or international mail service.
If you have a dispute with any other PayNow account holder, you release PayNow from any and all claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. In entering into this release you expressly waive any protections that would otherwise limit the coverage of this release to include only those claims which you may know or suspect to exist in your favor at the time of agreeing to this release.
