Terms of Service

These Terms of Service are effective as of November 30, 2017. See Section 1.2.3 for further information on how changes may be made.

1. Introduction

1.1. About Hyperwallet

1.1.1. Hyperwallet is a global payment services provider. We provide the payment services and related functionality and technology in support of those services as further described herein (collectively the “Services”) to Hyperwallet’s business customers (each a “Payor”) who desire to make payments to their designated business payees, like you (a “Payee”). The term Payor herein refers to Amazon.com, Inc. and/or its affiliates.

1.1.2. Hyperwallet operates and provides the Services through local affiliates (each an “Affiliate”) around the world. Together with their respective parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, these Affiliates are individually and collectively known as “Hyperwallet.” Hyperwallet Affiliates may be registered and licensed in various jurisdictions with relevant regulatory agencies as set forth in the “Licenses and Complaints” section of the Hyperwallet.com web site. As a general matter, you will receive the Services from the Affiliate based upon your country of location as described in the Affiliates and Governing Law Schedule. However, Hyperwallet may, at any time and in its sole discretion, delegate the performance of any of the Services, obligations and/or requirements hereunder to any of its Affiliates, agents, suppliers and contractors and Hyperwallet may disclose to any such persons any information required by them to perform the duties so delegated to them pursuant to the Privacy Policy (see the "Privacy" section of the web site).

1.2. Understanding These Terms

1.2.1. The terms “you”, “your” and “Payee” refer to users of the Services or any other eligible users of the Pay Portal. The terms “Hyperwallet,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and similar terms, refer to the party providing the Services as described herein. Other capitalized terms not otherwise defined within the body of the Terms of Service shall have the meanings set forth in the Definitions Schedule.

1.2.2. Your Payor has engaged Hyperwallet to provide the Services. By registering to use the Services, having access to or accessing the Pay Portal, or otherwise using or receiving the Services at any time, you accept all of the terms and conditions contained in these Terms of Service, the associated Schedules:

(i) Payment Services Schedule
(ii) Definitions Schedule
(iii) Affiliates and Governing Law Schedule

and the underlying Hyperwallet Policies:

(iv) Privacy Policy (see the "Privacy" section of the web site)

(v) Electronic Signature and Communications Delivery Policy (see the "Legal" section of the web site)

The Terms of Service govern your use and receipt of the Services. As your Payor determines which Services will be made available to you, not all terms and conditions will apply. Only those terms and conditions relating to Services made available to you will apply. Nonetheless, these are important documents which you should read and consider carefully. Please print or save a copy of these Terms of Service for your records.

1.2.3. We reserve the right to change the Terms of Service at any time by posting a revised version in the Pay Portal. The revised version will be effective at the time we post it to the Pay Portal. You are responsible for regularly reviewing the Terms of Service. Your continued access to the Pay Portal and use of the Services after the date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of any new or changed Terms of Service. If you do not wish to accept the new or changed Terms of Service, you must cease accessing the Pay Portal and discontinue use of the Services.

1.2.4. If there is any conflict between the Schedules and any other parts of the Terms of Service, the other parts of the Terms of Service will prevail.

2. Services

2.1. Access

The Services allow you to receive payments from and as directed by your Payor through a transfer to your bank account via local clearing networks or a wire transfer (each a “Payout Method”) as supported and made available by Hyperwallet from time to time. The Services are delivered through the Pay Portal, the Affiliates, and a network of banks and financial service providers (“Network Partners”).

2.1.1. The Services are subject to additional terms and conditions as set forth in the Payment Services Terms.

2.1.2. Your primary interface with the Services is through a Hyperwallet technology portal which may be accessed through a web site, application programming interface/API, embedded in or integrated with your Payor’s own platform or system, or other method, and may be branded with your Payor’s brand or co-branded with the Hyperwallet brand (the “Pay Portal”). The Pay Portal is part of the Services.

2.1.3. To be eligible to use the Services, you must be a designated payee of a Payor, at or above an age of majority in your country of location, and located in a country supported by Hyperwallet.

2.1.4.

Some registration and other identifying information may be provided to Hyperwallet directly from your Payor from time to time. Multiple registrations are prohibited. You may register only once, and each user must maintain a separate registration. If we detect multiple active registrations for a single user, we reserve the right to merge or terminate the registrations and refuse to permit you to use the Service without notification to you. If you register for the Services on behalf of a business or commercial entity, you must be legally authorized to agree to the Terms of Service on its behalf.

2.2.3. In delivering the Services to you, Hyperwallet acts as your receiving agent to accept payments from your Payor on your behalf and remit those payments to you. Notwithstanding any of the Services provided hereunder, Hyperwallet is not responsible for and does not have any liability with respect to any of the products, services, or activities for which you receive payment via the Pay Portal or any of the actions or inactions of any Payor or any third party, including but not limited to any dispute as to any amount of funds paid or payable to you by such Payor or otherwise. Additional restrictions as to the use of the Services are set forth in the Payment Services Terms.

Any third party to which your information is transmitted will be bound to maintain your confidentiality and may not use the information supplied for any unauthorized purpose other than to verify your identity, meet our legal, regulatory, risk requirements, provide the Services, or as otherwise described herein or in the Privacy Policy (see the "Privacy" section of the web site).

4.4. Arbitration

4.4.1. The following Agreement to Arbitrate provisions apply to you if you are located in the United States and where the services in question are governed under the laws of the United States as set forth on the affiliates and governing law terms.

4.4.2. This Agreement to Arbitrate contains provisions that govern the resolution of legal claims arising between you and us, which will require you to submit claims you have against us to binding and final arbitration, unless you opt out of the agreement to arbitrate within 30 days after the date you accept the terms of service for the first time.

4.4.3. You hereby consent to arbitration of all claims before a single arbitrator. The arbitrator will be selected and the arbitration conducted pursuant to the commercial arbitration rules and mediation procedures of the American arbitration association (“AAA”). No “class” or similar group arbitration shall be permitted. All arbitration hearings or similar proceedings shall be held in Austin, Texas, although you may elect telephonic proceedings or waive any hearing.

4.4.4. The AAA commercial arbitration rules and mediation procedures are available for review at: https://www.adr.org/aaa/faces/rules (click rules, then click commercial arbitration rules and mediation procedures). By agreeing to be bound by the terms of service, you either (a) acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand these rules or (b) waive your opportunity to read these rules and any claim that these rules are unfair or should not apply for any reason.

4.4.5. Any arbitral award shall be final and binding and may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction.

4.4.6. You understand that, in return for your agreement to this section, we are able to offer you the service at the terms designated, and that your assent to this section is an indispensable consideration to this agreement.

4.4.7. You also acknowledge and understand that, with respect to any claim:

(i) You are giving up your right to have a trial by jury and trial by judge;

(ii) You are giving up your right to have a court resolve any such dispute; and

(iii) You are giving up your right to serve as a representative, as a private attorney general, or in any other representative capacity, or to participate as a member of a class of claimants, in any arbitration or lawsuit involving any such dispute.

4.4.8. Unless you opt out: (1) you will only be permitted to pursue claims against Hyperwallet on an individual basis, not as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative action or proceeding, and (2) you will only be permitted to seek relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) on an individual basis.

4.4.9. If a dispute arises between you and Hyperwallet, our goal is to investigate and address your concerns and, if we are unable to do so to your satisfaction, to provide you with a neutral and cost effective means of resolving the dispute quickly. Disputes between you and Hyperwallet regarding the Services may be reported by contacting us and as further set forth in the dispute resolution provision above.

4.4.10. You and Hyperwallet each agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Hyperwallet, including without limitation federal and state statutory claims, common law claims, and those based in contract, tort, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify and so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis. This Agreement to Arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted.

4.4.11. You and Hyperwallet agree that each of us may bring claims against the other only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action or proceeding. Unless both you and Hyperwallet agree otherwise, the arbitrator(s) may not consolidate or join more than one person’s or party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a consolidated, representative or class proceeding. Also, the arbitrator(s) may award relief (including monetary, injunctive and declaratory relief) only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief necessitated by that party’s individual claim(s). Any relief awarded cannot affect other Hyperwallet customers.

4.4.12. You can choose to reject this Agreement to Arbitrate by mailing us a signed, written opt-out notice which includes your name, address, phone number, and the email address(es) used to log in to the Pay Portal to which the opt-out applies. The opt-out notice must be postmarked no later than 30 days after the date you accept the Terms of Service for the first time. You must mail the opt-out notice to HSI USA Inc., Attention: Legal Department, 7700 W. Parmer Lane, Building D, Floor 3, Austin TX 78729. This Section is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce and will be governed and enforced by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C.1-16.

5. Termination

5.1. Suspension or Termination of Services

Hyperwallet may at any time suspend or terminate all or any portion of the Services, including access to the Pay Portal, for any reason whatsoever as determined by Hyperwallet and/or at the instruction of your Payor, each in their sole discretion.

5.2. Closing your Pay Portal

5.2.1. You may close your Pay Portal at any time by contacting us. Upon your Pay Portal closure, we will cancel any pending transactions and you will have a limited period of time (as determined by Hyperwallet) to transfer any remaining funds during which time your Pay Portal will be accessible for the purpose of transferring any remaining funds or balance to your Payout Method.

5.2.2. You may not close your Pay Portal to evade an investigation. If you attempt to close your Pay Portal while we are conducting an investigation, we may hold any funds or balance for up to 180 Days to protect Hyperwallet, its Affiliates, any Network Partner, or a third party against the risk of reversals, chargebacks, claims, fees, fines, penalties and other liability. You agree to cooperate in any investigation of any suspected unlawful, fraudulent or improper activity and will remain liable for all obligations related to your Pay Portal even after the Pay Portal is closed.

5.3. Escheatment

If you do not access your Pay Portal and your Pay Portal is deemed unclaimed or abandoned under applicable law, Hyperwallet may close your Pay Portal and any remaining funds reflected in your Pay Portal will be sent to the owner of such funds as determined by the Payment Services Terms. If your Payor is the owner of the funds, the funds will be sent back to the Payor or, if required, escheated in accordance with applicable unclaimed property laws. If you are the owner, the funds will be sent to your primary address or, if required, escheated in accordance with applicable unclaimed property laws. Hyperwallet will determine your residency based on the information in your Profile on the Pay Portal. We will make reasonable efforts to contact you before transferring escheatable funds owned by you. If your funds have already been escheated and you would like to claim such escheated Pay Portal funds, please contact the applicable state’s or country’s unclaimed property administrator. We can tell you whether funds have been escheated by contacting us.

PAYMENT SERVICES SCHEDULE

1. Application

This Payment Services Terms document is a schedule to the Terms of Service and sets forth additional terms and conditions applicable to certain payment services and functionality which may be made available through the Services and Pay Portal and as provided by certain Hyperwallet Affiliates. We reserve the right to change this schedule at any time by posting a revised version in the Pay Portal. The revised version will be effective at the time we post it to the Pay Portal. Any capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Terms of Service.

2. Description of the Payment Services

The Services allow you to receive payments from your Payor through the Payout Methods made available to you, which is the ability to receive your payments via transfer to your bank account via local clearing networks or wire transfer.

Provided you are eligible to use the Services pursuant to the Terms of Service and once your registration of Payout Method details (e.g. bank account information) and preferences has been completed, whether by you or through your Payor, then upon and to the extent of Hyperwallet’s receipt of funds and complete payment instructions from your Payor, such funds may then be received by you through your designated Payout Method in accordance of those Payor instructions. You may have the ability to choose a Payout Method for each payout or set a default Payout Method to receive any or all of your payments. Payout Methods will involve the remittance by Hyperwallet of funds from and on behalf of Payor to your Payout Method.

3. General Payment Terms and Conditions

3.1. Bank Account

By directing us and/or your Payor (as the case may be) to make a transfer to your bank account, you are affirming that you are the owner of the bank account, have confirmed the accuracy of the bank account information provided to us, and have authority to initiate transactions in respect of the bank account. Hyperwallet will make electronic credits and debits via bank clearing networks and/or wire to your bank in the amount Payor specifies unless there are insufficient funds available. You agree that your requests for a transfer to your bank account constitutes your authorization to Hyperwallet to make the transfers to and from your designated checking or savings account, including any adjustments necessary for any transactions which are credited or debited in error. We may permit you or we may utilize other methods to process any particular transfer, such as a wire transfer. Once you have provided your authorization for the transfer, you will not be able to cancel that electronic transfer unless you do so in a manner that allows us and your bank a reasonable opportunity to act on such cancellation.

It may take two to five business days for the proceeds of the transfer to transmit to your bank account. In some situations, we may provide you with an estimate of the processing time your transaction will require via the Pay Portal. Although we may be able to specify a timeframe in which the funds will reach your designated bank, we cannot be responsible for any delays due to any bank clearing network or your bank’s processing of a transaction and cannot guarantee that your bank will make funds available to you on the day it receives the transfer.

You must provide us with the correct details for the bank account to which you would like to transfer funds. If you input incorrect bank account information, you agree that you will not hold Hyperwallet liable for any claims or losses should a transaction not be properly executed, including but not limited to where funds are sent to a bank account in error or otherwise. Your bank and/or a bank which is part of a bank clearing network may charge a return fee or other related fee in connection with the attempted transfer. In the event such a fee is incurred or otherwise imposed on Hyperwallet, such fee will be passed on to you and deducted from your Pay Portal balance or amounts otherwise payable to you.

We will not be liable where you do not have enough money available to transfer, your bank account is closed, the transaction exceeds dollar or frequency limitations imposed by us or your bank, your bank does not honor a transaction or participate in electronic funding, the transaction is not processed, or the transaction is returned by your bank or where we otherwise advise you that your request will not be processed. We shall have no responsibility for any action your bank may take with respect to such transfer to your bank account, including offsetting amounts owed to such bank from such transfer due to an overdrawn account, outstanding fees, or otherwise.

3.2. Currencies

In certain circumstances, Payor funds payable to you may be available in different currencies supported by us from time to time. The currencies made available are dependent upon the funding requirements of your Payor. You will not be permitted to convert funds in your Pay Portal in order to hold the funds in a different currency (except in connection with a payout to a Payout Method where such currency options are available) and you agree that you will not attempt to use multiple currencies for speculative trading. You may request to receive funds that are reflected in your Pay Portal in a different currency only at the time of and in connection with your requested payout via a Payout Method. If you request a payout in a currency different than the currency in which your Pay Portal was funded, the exchange rate, which will include a transaction fee, will be determined at the time your transaction is processed and deducted from the amount transferred. The fees and currency rate applicable to your transaction will be provided to you in the Pay Portal when you initiate your transaction. You are responsible for all risks associated with receiving a payout in any currency.

4. Additional Restrictions

Any or all of the Services, fees, rates, and the availability and timing of your receipt of any payment may be affected, limited, delayed or restricted due to a number of factors beyond our control, including but not limited to the funding by your Payor, Payout Method selected, Network Partner requirements, currency availability, regulatory and compliance requirements, country and delivery restrictions, time zone differences, and socio-economic and government factors. Hyperwallet does not guarantee the availability of any Payoutt Method and makes no representation, warranty or otherwise as to any specific service level, fees, rates, availability or timeframe and will not be liable to you for any negative affect, limitation, delay or restriction.

You hereby certify that you will use the Services to process transactions in the name of the registered Pay Portal holder only. Hyperwallet prohibits using the Services while impersonating any person or entity or falsely claiming an affiliation with any person or entity. If a Payor sends payments for loading to your Pay Portal, you may transfer those funds only to a bank account or other permitted Payout Method of which you are the named holder.

You may not transfer funds to third-party accounts, such as a business account (even if your name appears on the account). We may treat any attempt by you to send funds to an account or Payment Method or other payment instrument of which you are not the named holder as a fraudulent act.

You are not permitted to add money to your Pay Portal or to send / transfer any funds to anyone other than yourself via the Services. Use of the Services to conduct person-to-person transfers is strictly prohibited. You may not use the Services to manage multiple currencies or for spot trading or creating forward contracts. We reserve the right to reject or limit payments at any time in our sole discretion, including but not limited due to anti-money laundering or risk management concerns. We retain full discretion to refuse to accept any user or to complete any instruction from a Payor or from you to make payments using the Services.

5. Refused Transactions

We reserve the right in our sole discretion to refuse any transfer or other request. Reasons for refusal may include but are not limited to insufficient funds, incorrect or outdated information, or activity we deem suspicious. We generally will attempt to notify you of any refusal, using the contact information available to us or in your Profile, stating (where possible) the reasons for the refusal and whether the problem can be corrected. We will not notify you of a refusal where to do so would be unlawful or otherwise prohibited by law.

The Services may also be subject to transfer limits. These limits may be adjusted dynamically depending on the type of identification document(s) you provide to us as well as on any other criteria we require from time to time. We may require you to provide us with information verifying your identity, address or other information prior to allowing a withdrawal or transfer of funds. You agree to cooperate with us in any such requests.

6. Cancellation of Transactions

Due to the particular requirements and rules governing the processing of transfers to Payout Methods, such as wire transfers, transfers and redemptions to such Payout Methods may not be canceled. If you believe there to be an error in connection with a transfer you should notify us immediately by contacting us.

7. Liability for Transfer Errors

You must ensure that the payment details you enter when transferring funds are correct and complete. Failure to provide Hyperwallet with accurate information shall be your sole responsibility. We will not be responsible for actions taken by you in directing us to transfer funds and may rely on information you provide. We will not be liable for withdrawn funds being sent to the wrong or incorrect Payment Method as a result of you providing incorrect payment details. It is your responsibility to make sure that all pay portal details including but not limited to any bank account numbers, bank account provider details, card details, currency selected, etc. Are correct before sending. If any such details are incorrect, your funds may be debited or credited to the wrong account, card or other destination and may not be recovered. If you believe there to be an error in connection with a transfer you should notify us immediately by contacting us.

8. Right of Set-Off, Holds, Reversals, and Reserves

You agree that we are authorized at any time to set-off the funds in your Pay Portal or owed to you from your Payor against your debts or liabilities owed to us, including but not limited to those arising out of any breach of the Terms of Service. You also agree that we may reverse or place a hold on your transactions or place a reserve on your funds in your Pay Portal or otherwised owed to you from your Payor if you are in breach of or as otherwise as permitted by the Terms of Service. We may exercise any of the rights in this section without notice to you.
