The Payment Facilitation Services allows your business to accept Payment Methods from your Customers to pay for your goods or services. In order to provide you with access to the Payment Methods and Payment Processing Services, we work with Payment Method Providers, Acquirers and other third parties. Below please find a list of defined terms used throughout this Agreement:
Our Payment Facilitation Services are available to support a purchase, sale, donation, order, or other transaction (each a “Transaction”) with your Customers for your business or operations registered within the territory of the Philippines (“Area of Use”). You may not use the Services to send money to others, to conduct any personal transactions, or for any other purposes prohibited by this Agreement. You represent and warrant to us that each Transaction that you process using the Services is solely in payment for your provision or sale of bona fide goods or services (including donations to duly registered charitable or non-governmental organizations) to your Customers. In the course of your use of the Services, we may require changes to your website that are necessary to ensure your compliance with Card Network and/or Acquirer rules.
You must use the Services in a lawful manner, and must obey all laws, rules, and regulations applicable to your use of the Services and to Transactions. You may not use the Services to enable any person (including you) to benefit from any activities identified by us, our Acquirers, or the Card Networks as a Prohibited or Restricted business or activity. Prohibited or Restricted Businesses include use of the Services in or for the benefit of a country, organization, entity, or person embargoed or blocked by any government, including those on sanctions lists identified by the United States Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC). Prohibited or Restricted Businesses shall also include, but not be limited to, any party participating in:
Please review the list of Prohibited and Restricted Businesses thoroughly before registering for and opening an Account. If you are uncertain whether a category of business or activity is restricted or have questions about how these restrictions apply to you, please contact us. We may add to or update the said list at any time.
Our Fraud and Risk Team regularly conducts monitoring activities of transactions that are facilitated using our Services. Should we find that you are covertly using the Service for any of these Prohibited or Restricted activities, your Account will be immediately suspended or terminated.
You can only submit Charges using the Payment Facilitation Services that are authorized by your Customers. To enable us to process Transactions for you, you authorize and direct us, our affiliates, the Payment Method Providers and Acquirers to receive and settle any amounts due to you from your Transactions through the Payment Facilitation Services. You may not grant or assign any interest in the amounts due to you from your Transactions to any third party until such time as such amounts are deposited into your Bank Account. You appoint us as your agent for the limited purpose of directing, receiving, holding and settling such amounts. You agree that our receipt of such amounts satisfies the relevant end-customer’s obligations to make payments to you. We will promptly update your Account balance to reflect any such amounts that we receive on your behalf.
You understand that even authorized Transactions may be subject to a Chargeback, Reversal, or Refund Request in accordance with the rules of the Issuing Bank and/or Card Network of your Customer. We are not responsible for or liable to you for authorized and completed Charges that are later the subject of a Chargeback, Refund, or Reversal, are submitted without authorization or in error, or violate any applicable laws or regulations.
You are immediately responsible to us for all Chargebacks, Refunds, Reversals, or Fines regardless of the reason or timing. We may decline to act upon a Refund instruction, or delay execution of the instruction, if: (i) it would cause your Account balance to become negative; (ii) you are the subject of bankruptcy proceedings; or (iii) where we otherwise believe that there is a risk that you will not meet your liabilities under this Agreement (including with respect to the Charge that is the subject of the Refund instruction).
Our platform is not a bank and we do not accept deposits, provide loans or extend credit. If you accept payment for products or services not immediately deliverable to the Customer, we may, in our sole discretion, initiate a Reversal. Reversals may also result from (i) invalidation of a charge by a Payment Method Provider or an Acquirer; (ii) funds settled to you in error or without authorization; and (iii) submission of a Charge in violation of this Agreement, Third-Party Rules, and/or applicable laws and regulations.
Please note that Payment Method Providers and/or Acquirers may also initiate Reversals.
Once you are notified by us that any of your Transactions are subject to a Chargeback Request filed by your Customer/s, you will be able to challenge the same by submitting evidence to us. We may request additional information to provide to Payment Method Providers and Acquirers to assist you in contesting the Chargeback, but we cannot guarantee that your challenge will be successful.
Payment Method Providers and Acquirers may deny your challenge for any reason they deem appropriate. Please note that Chargeback Requests are not decided by us, we merely assist you with submitting your documents, receipts, or invoices to challenge the same. You may not submit a new Charge which duplicates a Transaction that is subject to a Chargeback.
You are liable for all losses you incur when lost or stolen payment credentials or accounts are used to purchase products or services from you. We do not provide insurance against losses caused by fraud under any circumstances.
We will provide you with support in the event you have general issues relating to your Account or your use of the Payment Facilitation Services through our general support channels.
We will provide the Payment Facilitation Services to you at the rates and for the fees (the “Fees”) described on our website. These Fees are subject to change at any time, and we will provide you with no less than 30 days advance notice of any such change.
In addition to the Fees, you are also responsible for any penalties or fines imposed on you in relation to your Account by us or any Payment Method Provider or Payment Method Acquirer resulting from your use of Payment Facilitation Services in a manner not permitted by this Agreement or a Payment Method Provider’s Third-Party Rules.
Our fees are exclusive of any applicable Taxes, except as expressly stated to the contrary. You shall pay, indemnify, and hold us harmless from (i) any sales, use, excise, import or export, value-added, or similar tax or duty, and any other tax or duty not based on our income, and (ii) all government permit fees, customs fees and similar fees which we may incur with respect to this Agreement. Such taxes, fees and duties paid by you shall not be considered a part of, a deduction from, or an offset against, payments due to us.
Additionally, you understand that we may be required to provide documents to the Bureau of Internal Revenue in relation to certain Transactions processed using the Services.
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, we will remit to the bank or other financial institution account that you designate (your “Bank Account”), all amounts due to you from your Transactions, minus any Fees, Fines, Reversals, Chargebacks, Refunds, setoffs, recoupments or other amounts that you owe to us under this Agreement. You affirm that you are authorized to initiate settlements to your designated Bank Account, and that your Bank Account is owned by you. If you update your Bank Account, then you must ensure that you continue to comply with the requirements of this section. We may require you to provide us with documentary proof demonstrating your compliance with this section, and your failure to provide such proof will constitute a breach of this Agreement.
For corporate entities, we will require the issuance of a notarized Secretary’s Certificate as proof of authorization of the nominated bank account. For your protection, we will require the issuance of another Secretary’s Certificate to document any changes in your nominated bank account.
If the Payout is not sufficient to cover the amounts due, without limiting our other rights and remedies (all of which are cumulative), you agree that we may set-off the applicable amounts against future Payouts.
We may require a holding period before making an initial settlement to your nominated Bank Account.
Your Payout Schedule will be specified on your Dashboard. It is possible for our Payment Method Provider, an Acquirer, or the financial institution holding your Bank Account may delay settlement for any reason (and thus delay your Payout Schedule), and we are not responsible for any harm suffered by you stemming from such delay. We are not responsible for any action taken by the institution holding your Bank Account to not credit your Bank Account or to otherwise not make funds available to you at the exact time you expect.
We reserve the right to suspend your payouts. Examples of situations where we may do so are: (i) where there are pending, anticipated, or excessive Chargebacks, Refunds, or Reversals; (ii) in the event that we suspect or become aware of suspicious activity; or (iii) where we are required by applicable law or court order. We have the right to withhold settlement to your Bank 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 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 a timeline for releasing the funds.
PayRex, in its sole discretion, may place a Reserve on a portion of your Payouts in the event that we believe that there is a high level of risk associated with your business. If we place a reserve on your Payouts, we will provide you with notice specifying the terms of the Reserve. The terms may require that a certain percentage of your Payouts are held for a certain period of time, that a fixed amount of your Payouts are withheld from payout to you, or such other restrictions that we may determine. We may also change the terms of the Reserve at any time by providing you with notice of the new terms.
We may hold a Reserve as long as it deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to mitigate any risks related to your Transactions. You agree that you will remain liable for all obligations related to your Transactions even after the release of any Reserve. In addition, we may require you to keep your Bank Account available for any pending settlements, Chargebacks and other adjustments.
As security for the payment and performance of all of your now existing or hereinafter arising or incurred obligations under this Agreement or any other obligation to us, you agree grant to a lien on, and security interest in and to, all your now existing or hereafter right, title and/or interest in, to or under this Agreement, the Reserve, all funds held in Reserve, all Reserves at any time established in accordance with this Agreement, and all proceeds of any of the foregoing, in our favor. You agree to duly execute and deliver to us documents as may be required to perfect and otherwise give effect to the lien and security interest granted to us under this Agreement.
If you leave any funds dormant in your Account for a period of ten (10) years and you do not give us instructions where to send them, we may be required by applicable law to deem the funds to be abandoned by you, and to deliver them to the Philippine government. To the extent required by applicable law, we will attempt to provide you with notice if we hold funds payable to you in an account beyond the applicable dormancy period for abandoned property.
Should there be no activity in your Account for at least six (6) months, we will deactivate your Account. You may reach out to us in case you are interested to reactivate the Account, after which we will conduct another verification procedure. You will also be asked to update your Account for material information before you are allowed to use the Services again after a deactivation.
Should your Account be deactivated twice due to non-use, it cannot be revived again.
We may refuse, condition, or suspend any Transactions that we believe: (i) may violate this Agreement or other agreements you may have with us; (ii) are unauthorized, fraudulent or illegal; or (iii) expose you, us, or our Third Parties to risks determined to be unacceptable. If we suspect or know that you are using or have used the Services 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 Account, your Customers, and Transactions made through your use of the Payment Facilitation Services.
You may only use our Payment Facilitation Services to conduct legitimate Transactions with your legitimate Customers. You are responsible for your relationship with your Customers. We are not responsible for the products or services you publicize or sell, or that your Customers purchase using the Payment Facilitation Services; or if you accept donations, for your communication to your Customers of the intended use of such donations. You understand and affirm that you are solely responsible for the nature and quality of the products or services you provide, and for delivery, support, refunds, returns, and for any other ancillary services you provide to your Customers.
Although we provide you with our Payment Facilitation Services, we have no way of knowing if any Transaction is accurate or complete, or normal for your business in particular or your type of business. Only you are responsible for knowing whether a Transaction initiated by your Customer is erroneous (such as a Customer purchasing one item when they meant to order another) or suspicious (such as unusual or large purchases, or a request for delivery to a foreign country where this typically does not occur). If you are unsure if a Transaction is erroneous or suspicious, you agree to research the Transaction and, if necessary, contact your Customer 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 Services.
You maintain the direct relationship with your Customers and are responsible for: (i) acquiring appropriate consent to submit Charges through the Payment Facilitation Services on their behalf; (ii) providing confirmation or receipts to Customers for each Charge; (iii) verifying Customers’ identities; and (iv) determining a Customer’s eligibility and authority to complete Transactions.
Customers must understand the purpose, amount, and conditions of Charges you submit through the Payment Facilitation Services.

You also agree to maintain and make available to your Customers a fair and neutral return, refund, cancellation, or adjustment policy, and clearly explain the process by which Customers can receive a Refund.
You hereby agree to undertake, and you acknowledge and understand that it is your sole responsibility, to (1) obtain your Customers’ consent to these Terms and Conditions, including the Privacy Policy and (2) provide all notices and obtain all consent necessary for our use of Customer Data.

We may update the APIs and API documentation from time to time, and may add or remove functionality. To the extent possible, we will communicate to you any changes in functionality.
You will be provided with API keys, and you can manage these keys from the Dashboard. Public keys are meant to be used for transactions that are accessed through public channels (e.g. generating tokens for credit card numbers from your web application), and secret keys are for transactions that are done internally in your systems (e.g. creating an actual charge). You are responsible for securing your secret keys – do not publish or share them with any unauthorized persons. Failure to secure your secret keys will increase the likelihood of fraud on your Account and potential losses to you or your Customers. You should contact us immediately if you become aware of any unauthorized use of your secret key or any other breach of security regarding the Services. We will provide more details on proper use of public and secret API keys in the API documentation.

At any time, you may discontinue your use of the Service. Please visit our Privacy Policy to understand how we treat your information when you discontinue your use of the Service. As a BSP supervised entity, we are required to retain your information for five (5) years even if you discontinue using the Services, or if you have your Account deactivated or closed.
We reserve the right to take action to limit or prevent your access to our Service, if we, in our sole discretion, deem that such action is necessary based on: your use of the Service in a way that would potentially expose us to liability; disruption of the Service by you to others; your violation of these Terms or our Privacy Policy; your violation of any applicable laws, rules, regulations, and agreements that may apply to you; and your use of the Service in a way that could cause harm to any person.
Termination does not immediately relieve you of obligations incurred by you under this Agreement. Upon termination, you agree to (i) complete all pending Transactions, (ii) stop accepting new Transactions, and (iii) immediately remove all Trademarks from your website (unless permitted under a separate license with the payment network). Your continued or renewed use of the Services after all pending Transactions have been processed serves to renew your consent to the terms of this Agreement. If you terminate this Agreement, we will pay out any remaining funds owed to you subject to these Terms.
After termination by either party, you shall no longer have access to, and shall cease all use of the Services. Any termination of this Agreement does not relieve you of any obligations to pay any Fees or any other financial obligation incurred by you or through your use of the Services prior to or after termination. In addition, all licenses granted to you by PayRex under this Agreement will end.
Should your account with us be terminated for fraud, excessive chargebacks or other breaches of our Terms of Use, you understand and agree that we will submit the relevant details to our Acquirer for inclusion in their terminated merchant file.
You shall not violate or attempt to violate any security features of the Service, including, without limitation, (a) accessing content or data not intended for you, or logging onto a server that you are not authorized to access; (b) attempting to probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service, or any associated system or network, or to breach security or authentication measures without proper authorization; (c) interfering or attempting to interfere with service to any user, host, or network, including, without limitation, by means of submitting a virus to the Service, overloading, “flooding,” “spamming,” “mail bombing,” “crashing,” or undertaking similar activities; (d) resell the Services or permit third parties to use the Services without our prior written consent; (e) make unauthorized copies of any content in the Services; and (f) forging any TCP/IP packet header or any part of the header information in any e-mail or in any posting using the Service.
YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE IS ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.
YOU AGREE THAT IF YOU CHOOSE TO USE THE SERVICE, YOU ARE DOING SO VOLUNTARILY. YOU ASSUME ALL SUCH RISKS WITHOUT LIMITATION.
WE ARE MAKING THE SERVICE AVAILABLE “AS IS” AND TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE SERVICE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON INFRINGEMENT. YOU ASSUME THE RISK OF ANY AND ALL DAMAGE OR LOSS FROM USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SERVICE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT OPERATION OF THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS, OR LOST DATA, REGARDLESS OF THE FORESEEABILITY OF THOSE DAMAGES) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO ANY OF THE FOLLOWING: ANY CLAIM RELATED TO PERSONAL OR BODILY INJURY IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OF THE SERVICE; ANY HARM OR DAMAGE CAUSED BY, OR OTHERWISE RELATED TO, YOUR RELIANCE ON INFORMATION PROVIDED THROUGH THE SERVICE; ANY LOSS OR UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF DATA; ANY HARM OR DAMAGE CAUSED BY, OR OTHERWISE RELATED TO, YOUR USE OF OR INTERACTION WITH ANY SERVICES OFFERED THROUGH THE SERVICE; AND ANY VIOLATIONS OF APPLICABLE LAWS, RULES, REGULATIONS, AND OTHER AGREEMENTS. THIS LIMITATION SHALL APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY OR FORM OF ACTION.
THE LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN YOU AND US.
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF DAMAGES OR CAUSES OF ACTION, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
In the event that any third party brings a claim against us related to your actions, content, information, or any other use of the Service by you, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold us and our agents harmless from and against any and all third party claims, losses, liability, damages, and/or costs (including reasonable attorney fees and costs) relating to such claim. We will notify you promptly of any such claim and will provide you with reasonable assistance, at your expense, in defending any such claim, provided, however, that our failure to so notify you shall not relieve you of your indemnity obligations, but instead shall reduce those obligations by the amount of damages or increased costs and expenses attributable to our failure to give notice. We reserve the right to approve counsel retained by you, to take control of the defense (at our expense) of any claim for which indemnity is required, and to participate in the defense of any claim (at our expense) for which indemnity is required. You may not settle any claim without our prior consent.
You agree to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy with Payrex arising out of or relating to your use in any way of the Service in the following manner. First, we both agree to attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally. Second, if the dispute is not resolved through informal resolution, we both agree to attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute through mediation administered by the Philippine Dispute Resolution Center, which shall take place in Makati City, Philippines, and the costs of which shall be divided equally between you and PayRex.
Either you or we may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief without first engaging in the dispute resolution process described above.
We both agree that, in the event of arbitration, or in the event of a lawsuit as permitted by this Section or otherwise, the prevailing party shall be entitled to costs and fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees). Arbitration pursuant to this Section shall be confidential, and neither you, nor Payrex, nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement or appeal of the arbitration award. Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court having proper jurisdiction. There shall be no right or authority for any claims subject to this arbitration clause to be arbitrated on a class action or consolidated basis or on bases involving claims brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public (including, but not limited to, as a private attorney general). If any portion of this arbitration clause is determined by a court to be inapplicable or invalid, then the remainder shall still be given full force and effect. Nothing contained in this Section shall limit our ability to take action related to your access to the Service as provided in these Terms.
These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the Republic of the Philippines, without regard to conflict of law provisions. In the event a lawsuit is filed subsequent to a failure of dispute resolution as provided under the immediately preceding provisions, we both agree that any judicial proceeding shall be brought exclusively in the appropriate courts of the City of Pasay, Philippines.
In case of any inconsistencies regarding Card Network rules and these terms, the former shall take precedence.
If, for whatever reason, any term or condition in these Terms is found unenforceable, all other terms and conditions will remain unaffected and in full force and effect. The failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of our right to do so later, and no waiver shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party.
PayRex reserves the right to change these Terms from time to time, with or without notice to you. If you continue to use the Service, you consent to the new Terms. Any changes to these Terms will become effective on the “Effective Date” indicated above. If you continue to use the Service after the Effective Date, you consent to the new Terms. PayRex will always have the latest Terms posted on the Service.
