    1.1.    MassPay Operations

    1.1.1. MassPay provides payment services and related functionality and technology using a global payout platform and network of financial partners to deliver a range of payout solutions to MassPay’s business customers (each a “Payor“) (the “Services“) who desire to make payments to their designated payees, like you (a “Payee“).

    1.1.2. MassPay operates and provides the Services in coordination with Payors, licensed money transmitters, state or federally chartered financial institutions, and other relevant entities.

    1.1.3 MassPay has created a technology portal which may be accessed through a website, 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 MassPay brand (the “Digital Account“). The Digital Account is the interface that may facilitate certain payments which you will receive from the Payor (the “Payouts” and each, a “Payout“). Payout capabilities may be available in multiple currencies and can be implemented using different methods. You may be able to receive a Payouts from and as directed by your Payor through one of several methods, each as determined by your Payor, such as (but not limited to) a transfer to your bank account, load to a prepaid card issued to you by a third-party issuer (“Payout Card“), load to your existing debit card, issuance of e-money account (where available), check, cash pickup at physical money transfer locations, and other payment methods (each “Payout Method” and collectively “Payout Methods“), all as supported and made available from time to time. Some Payout Methods may require access to the Digital Account. The Payouts may comprise money remittance and/or the issuance and distribution or sale of electronic money or stored value. The Payouts are delivered through the Affiliates, and a network of banks and financial service providers (“Network Partners“). The Payouts are subject to additional terms and conditions as set forth in the Payout Schedule alongside all regulatory bodies and operational partners.

    1.1.4 Among the Payout Methods, based on jurisdiction MassPay may currently or at a later date require that Payees utilize a specific option(s) to be set forth. These Payout Methods may include (i) provision of e-money as referred to under Section 8 of the Payout Schedule, or (ii) using the Payment Processing Services (as defined below) on the Payor’s marketplace platform. If you are using these Payout Methods to receive Payouts from your Payor, the relevant provisions under Section 8 of the Payout Schedule will directly apply to you.

    1.1.5 MassPay 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 MassPay 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 website).

    1.2.    Additional Context on these Terms and Conditions

    1.2.1. The terms “you”, “your” and “Payee” refer to users making use of the Digital Account to obtain Payouts.

    1.2.5. If there is any conflict between the Schedules and any other parts of the Terms and Conditions, the other parts of the Terms and Conditions will prevail with the exception of Section 8 of the Payout Schedule, which shall take precedence over all other parts of the Schedules and the Terms and Conditions in relation to Payees in the EEA who are (i) have an e-money account and (ii) using the Payment Processing Services on the Payor’s marketplace platform .

    3.4.    Currency

    All Fees (excluding Payout Card fees which are based on the Issuer) are based on the currency determined by your Payor; if you are billed in a currency other than that of your Payor or you request a Payout in a currency different from a currency in your Digital Account balance, a foreign exchange fee and/or rate may apply.

    5.4.1. The following Agreement to Arbitrate provisions apply to you if you are located in the United States and where the Payout Methods in question are governed under the laws of the United States as set forth on the Affiliates and Governing Law Schedule.

    5.4.2. 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 and Conditions for the first time.

    5.4.3. 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 a US state of MassPay’s choosing, although you may elect telephonic proceedings or waive any hearing.

    5.4.4. The AAA commercial arbitration rules and mediation procedures are available for review at the website of the American Arbitration Association. By agreeing to be bound by the Terms and Conditions, 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.

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

    5.4.6. 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.

    5.4.7. 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.

    5.4.8. Unless you opt out: (1) you will only be permitted to pursue claims against MassPay 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.

    5.4.9. If a dispute arises between you and MassPay, 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 MassPay regarding the Payout Methods and/or Payouts may be reported by contacting us and as further set forth in the dispute resolution provision above.

    5.4.10. You and MassPay each agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and MassPay, 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.

We reserve the right to change this schedule at any time by posting a revised version in the Digital Account. The revised version will be effective at the time we post it to the Digital Account. Any capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Terms and Conditions.

    8.2.        Description of the Payout Method

    Through the Digital Account, you may receive Payouts from your Payor through one or several Payout Methods, as determined by your Payor. Payout Methods expand or contract based upon MassPay business operations.

    Provided you are eligible to use the Payout Methods to receive the Payouts pursuant to the Terms and Conditions 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 MassPay’s receipt of funds and complete Payout Method 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 recurring Payouts. Payout Methods will either involve the remittance by MassPay from and on behalf of Payor to you via a Payout Method or, where expressly indicated, funds being held by MassPay on your behalf as stored-value or via the issuance of E-money as set forth below and subsequently redeemed through one or several Payout Methods made available to you.

    8.3.       General Payout Terms and Conditions

    8.3.1.    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. MassPay 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 MassPay 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 Digital Account. 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 MassPay 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 MassPay, such fee will be passed on to you and deducted from your Digital Account 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.

    8.3.2.    Payout Card

    You may be issued a Visa® or MasterCard® prepaid card in connection with the Payout Methods (“Payout Card”). The Payout Card may be branded with the name and logo of “MassPay” or the name and logo of your Payor. The Payout Card may be a physical card and/or virtual card. Your Payout Card is issued by a financial institution (“Issuer”) and your use of the Payout Card is subject to the terms and conditions, including fees, of applicable Issuer Cardholder Agreements. You can receive a copy of such Cardholder Agreement by contacting us.

    The Payout Card does not constitute a credit card or a checking, savings, deposit or other bank account in your name. It is only available to you in connection with your trade or business and your receipt of the proceeds of your commercial activities in such trade or business from your Payor in the form of the Payouts. It is not a consumer account and is not connected in any way to any other account you may have. Funds transferred to your Payout Card will no longer be held by MassPay and are instead held by the Issuer. Any balance on a Payout Card may be held by the Issuer in an applicable Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or equivalent government-insured account(s). MassPay may show you the amount of any balance on your Payout Card in the Digital Account for informational purposes only.

    If you or your Payor directs us to transfer funds to your Payout Card, you authorize us to, regularly and without further instruction or action by you, load funds to your Payout Card, subject to limits that may apply to your Payout Card. We reserve the right to delay or otherwise limit the amounts loaded to your Payout Card at any time at our sole discretion and/or require further documentation before loading any funds.

    Funds transferred to your Payout Card are generally available within one (1) Business Day (defined below) following the day the transaction request is received by us. The currency loaded on to the Payout Card is determined by the funds received from your Payor and the requirements of the Issuer and which may further be dictated by Visa or MasterCard (as the case may be).

    Payout Cards do not offer any credit or overdraft features on the Payout Cards. MassPay does not authorize prepaid card transactions where the card has insufficient or unavailable funds. In the event of a merchant forced transaction, settlement timing or errors create a negative card balance, MassPay may charge an overdraft fee to you. Where permitted, funds on your Payout Card may be transferred (unloaded) to your bank account identified in the Digital Account. You acknowledge and agree any such transfer is being requested by you in connection with and on behalf of your trade or business.

    8.3.3.    Personal Debit Card

    In certain cases, your Payor may support the ability for you to transfer your payments on an existing Visa® or MasterCard® debit card associated with your US bank account (“Debit Card”). Your Debit Card must be enabled by the bank that issued you the Debit Card. Use of your Debit Card, including balance, transaction history, fees, and other limitations and restrictions will be subject to the terms and conditions determined by your bank.

    By directing us and/or your Payor (as the case may be) to make a transfer to your Debit Card, you are affirming that you are the owner of the Debit Card and associated bank account linked to it, have confirmed the accuracy of the Debit Card information provided to us, and have authority to initiate transactions in respect of the Debit Card. MassPay will make electronic credits and debits via Visa®, MasterCard®, or other banking networks in the amount you specify unless there are insufficient funds available. You agree that your requests for a transfer to your Debit Card constitutes your authorization to MassPay to make the transfers to and from your designated Debit Card, including any adjustments necessary for any transactions which are credited or debited in error. Transfers to a debit card not owned by you or transfers to any credit card, whether or not owned by you, are not permitted.

    Once funds are transferred to your Debit Card, such funds are no longer held by MassPay and are instead held by the bank that issued you the Debit Card. If you or your Payor direct us to transfer funds to your Debit Card, you authorize us to, regularly and without further instruction or action by you, load funds to your Debit Card, subject to limits that may apply to your Debit Card. We reserve the right to limit the amounts loaded to your Debit Card at any time at our sole discretion and/or require further documentation before loading any funds.

    Funds transferred to your Debit Card are generally available within one (1) Business Day (defined below) following the day the transaction request is received by us. We cannot be responsible for any delays due to Visa® or MasterCard®, any network or third-party processor, or your bank’s processing or failure or delay in processing of a transaction and cannot guarantee that your bank will make funds available to you on the day it receives the transfer to your Debit Card. The currency loaded on to the Debit Card is determined by the funds received from your Payor and the requirements of the bank that issued you the Debit Card and which may further be dictated by Visa® or MasterCard® (as the case may be).

    You must provide us with the correct details for the Debit Card to which you would like to transfer funds. If you input incorrect Debit Card information, you agree that you will not hold MassPay liable for any claims or losses should a transaction not be properly executed, including but not limited to where funds are sent to another debit card in error or otherwise. Your bank 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 MassPay, such fee will be passed on to you and deducted from your Digital Account balance or amounts otherwise payable to you.

    We will not be liable where you do not have enough money available to transfer, your Debit Card and its associated bank account is closed, the transaction exceeds dollar or frequency limitations imposed by us, Visa® or MasterCard®, any network or third party processor, 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 Debit Card, including offsetting amounts owed to such bank from such transfer due to an overdrawn account, outstanding fees, or otherwise. 

    8.3.4.    Cash Pickup

    If you direct us to transfer funds for cash pick up by you at locations provided by third-party cash pickup providers supported by MassPay, you are authorizing us to transfer funding instructions to such third parties over whom MassPay has no control. Cash pick up services are subject to the terms and conditions of those entities, including applicable fees assessed by respective cash pickup providers

    Such Payout Method and availability of funds depends on certain factors including the service selected, the selection of delayed delivery options, amount sent, destination country, currency availability, regulatory issues, consumer protection issues, identification requirements, delivery restrictions, agent location hours, and differences in time zones.

    Transactions not picked up or canceled within the time required by the cash pickup provider following the send date may be assessed administrative and/or foreign exchange fees and/or losses which may be deducted from the amount sent.

    8.3.5.    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 Digital Account 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 Digital Account 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 from the currency in which your Digital Account 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 Digital Account when you initiate your transaction. You are responsible for all risks associated with receiving a Payout in any currency.

    8.3.6.    Additional Optional Services

    MassPay may offer you additional optional services from time to time. Such services may include the ability to purchase or incent the purchase of goods and services from your Payor from your Digital Account (“Spendback” and “Promo”), load your own funds to your Digital Account as “Product Dollars” to use for Spendback purchases through participating physical reload locations, transfer funds from a Payout Card to your bank account, the population and production of United States Federal tax forms for domestic and foreign Payees, and such other services and functionality as offered and supported by us from time to time. MassPay may offer, limit, restrict, or terminate any such services without notice to you.

    8.3.7.       Additional Restrictions

    Any or all of the Payouts, fees, rates, and the availability and timing of your receipt of any Payout 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. MassPay does not guarantee the availability of any Payout 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 Payouts to process transactions in the name of the registered Digital Account holder only. MassPay prohibits using the Payouts 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 Digital Account, 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. We may treat any attempt by you to send funds to an account or Payout Method or other payment instrument of which you are not the named holder as a fraudulent act.

    You are not permitted to add money, send / transfer any funds to anyone other than yourself via the Digital Account or through receipt of the Payouts. Use of the Digital Account, Payout Methods, or Payouts to conduct person-to-person transfers is strictly prohibited. You may not use the Digital Account, Payout Methods or Payouts to manage multiple currencies or for spot trading or creating forward contracts. We reserve the right to reject or limit Payout Methods 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 Digital Account or Payout Methods.

    8.3.8.       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 Payouts 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.

    8.3.9.       Cancellation of Transactions

    You may cancel a Spendback or Promo request for a refund, less applicable transaction fees, (a) within 30 minutes of authorizing your transfer request; or (b) at any time thereafter only if we have not already commenced processing the transaction in accordance with your order. 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.

    1.       Liability for Transfer Errors

    You must ensure that the Payout Method details you enter when transferring funds are correct and complete. Failure to provide MassPay 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 losses you sustain if a Payout is misallocated due to errors in the Payout Method details provided by you. It is your responsibility to make sure that all Digital Account 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.

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

    You agree that we are authorized at any time to set-off the funds in your Digital Account 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 and Conditions. You also agree that we may reverse or place a hold on your transactions or place a reserve on your funds in your Digital Account or otherwise owed to you from your Payor if you are in breach of or as otherwise as permitted by the Terms and Conditions. We may exercise any of the rights in this section without notice to you.

    1.       Dispute Resolution

    Information regarding Payouts received, transfers made from your Digital Account, Payout Card activity, and certain other Payouts are displayed in the “History” section of Digital Account.

    1.     Additional Terms for Canada and the United States

    12.1.  Remittance

    In the United States and Canada and except as otherwise explicitly agreed to by MassPay through this Payout Schedule, MassPay acts as an agent of the Payor in carrying out the Payout Method instructions and remittance of funds of such Payors to their designated payees. As an agent of the Payor, any balance of funds in the Digital Account does not represent stored value owned by you but belongs to and is the property of the Payor until actually received by you via your Payout Method notwithstanding any ability you may have to direct or instruct us to make any payments of funds reflected in the Digital Account to your Payout Method and/or to execute any Additional Optional Services such as but not limited to Spendback or Promos.

    12.2.  Security and Use of Regulated Third-Party Service Providers

    As stated in the Terms and Conditions, you must take all the steps you reasonably can to maintain adequate security and control of all IDs, usernames, passwords, personal identification numbers (PINs), or any other codes that you use to access the Digital Account, receiving the Payouts or in conjunction with use of the Payout Methods or in the event that you provide consent to an authorized third-party service provider to access your e-money account to make an online payment on your behalf or to access account information, so that no unauthorized person or entity can use your credentials to log on to your Digital Account/e-money account. You must tell us as soon as you can by contacting us if you think someone may be using your e-money account without your permission. Before using a third-party service provider you should check with the regulator whether it is authorized and review the provider’s terms and conditions. In the event that we have reasonably evidenced and justified concerns about a third-party service provider for reasons relating to authorization or fraud we may deny the third-party service provider access to your account. In such an event we will notify you and the FCA before or immediately after access denial, unless this would compromise our security concerns or it would be unlawful to do so.

    12.3.  Restrictions

    You agree that we may apply spending limits to your MassPay account and we’ll tell you if we do so.

    (iii)  we reasonably believe and discover that a Payout Method may be unauthorized or you may be acting illegally or that it would be against the law for us allow the Payout Method to be processed; and/or

    (iv)  the Payout Method would breach or otherwise violate the terms of the Terms and Conditions.

    12.3.3 Blocking your Payout instrument

    If we have reason to believe that you have engaged in a breach of these Terms and Conditions or any applicable laws and regulations, we may take various actions to protect MassPay,  your Payor, a third party, or you from fees, fines, penalties and any other liability. The actions we may take include but are not limited to the following:

    (i)     We may, at any time and without liability, suspend, block, limit, close or cancel your right to use your e-money account entirely or for any particular transaction, which may in turn suspend, block, limit, close or cancel access to your e-money account or the Payout Methods. We will normally give you advance notice of any suspension or cancellation but we may, if it is reasonable to do so (for example if you are in breach of these Terms and Conditions or we consider it advisable for security reasons), suspend or cancel your right to use your e-money account without prior notice to you; or

    (ii)   Refuse any particular Payout Method at any time for any reason and will only be required to make available the fact of the refusal and the reasons for the refusal and how you may resolve the problem, where possible, upon request and provided it is not prohibited by law.
