1.1. These Terms of Use govern the opening, use and closure of your Getpay Account and other related payment services as referred to herein. Together with any other terms and conditions referred to in these Terms of Use, they constitute the agreement between you and us. For the use of additional services you may have to accept additional terms and conditions as notified to you when you are ordering or using such services. You are advised to print or download and keep a copy of these Terms of Use for future reference. You can always view the current Terms of Use on our Website.

1.2. Depending on the type of Getpay Account you have, additional terms and conditions may apply as communicated to you at the appropriate time. In the event of any conflict between the additional terms and conditions and these Terms of Use, the former shall come first.


2. Your Getpay Account

2.1. Your Getpay Account is an electronic money account which enables you to send and receive electronic payments.

2.2. Your Getpay Account is denominated in a currency of your choice, as selected by you from the currencies Getpay makes available from time to time. This will remain the currency of your Getpay Account for the duration of your agreement with us.

2.4. You have the right to withdraw funds from your Getpay Account at any time. However, you may be required to confirm your identity beforehand. The funds on your Getpay Account must be sufficient to cover the minimum withdrawal amount and any applicable withdrawal fee.

2.5. Electronic money accounts are not bank accounts. By accepting these Terms of Use you acknowledge that the UK’s Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) does not apply to your Getpay Account. In the unlikely event that we become insolvent, you may lose the electronic money held in your Getpay Account. However, the European Electronic Money Directive 2009/110/EC and UK national legislation apply to us and these are designed to ensure the safety and liquidity of funds deposited in electronic money accounts.

No person other than the Getpay Account holder has any rights in relation to the funds held in a Getpay Account, except in cases of succession. You may not assign or transfer your Getpay Account to a third party or otherwise grant any third party a legal or equitable interest over it.

2.7. Your Getpay Account may be subject to upload, payment and withdrawal limits, depending on your country of residence, the verification status of your Getpay Account and other factors used by us to determine such limits from time to time at our sole discretion.

Any message you receive or website you visit that asks for your password or other security features, other than the Getpay Website, should be reported to us. If you are in doubt whether a website is genuine, you should contact Customer Service. It is advisable to change your password regularly (at least every three (3) to six (6) months) in order to reduce the risk of a security breach in relation to your Getpay Account.

Any undue delay in notifying us may not only affect the security of your Getpay Account but may result in you being liable for any losses as a result where your failure to notify us is intentional or grossly negligent. If you suspect that your Getpay Account was accessed by someone else, you should also contact the police and report the incident.

If you want to access your transaction history after the closure of your Getpay Account, you will need to contact Customer Service and request the information, You may do so for a period of two years from the date of closure of your Getpay Account but we suggest that you withdraw your remaining funds as soon as possible as they will not earn any interest while in your Getpay Account.

7. Uploading Funds

7.1. You can upload funds by visiting the Website, logging into your Getpay Account and following the relevant upload instructions. You may be presented with a number of different upload methods, depending on which Payment Methods you have added to your Getpay Account and which Payment Methods are available in your country of residence. Upload methods are payment services provided by third party financial institutions (for example, the issuer of the payment card you use to upload funds or third party direct banking service providers) and are not part of our service. We do not guarantee the use of any particular upload method made available, and may make changes to or discontinue the acceptance of any particular upload method at any time without following the procedure set out in section 16. Notwithstanding section 7.7 below, we shall not be responsible for the upload payment until the uploaded funds are received by us.

Otherwise, you may not Chargeback any upload transaction or allow Chargeback of any upload transaction for reasons for which we are not responsible including (but not limited to) disputes with merchants for non-delivery of goods or services or insufficient balance on the Payment Method account. We reserve the right to charge you fees and expenses we incur in connection with such Chargeback and any action undertaken to challenge the same. We may also charge you a Chargeback fee as displayed in the "Fees" section of the Website.

7.4. You may allow a merchant that you wish to pay through us on a regular basis (e.g. for a subscription service) to debit your Getpay Account for each recurring payment. In this case you authorise us to debit the Payment Method (e.g. your credit card or bank account) which you used to make the original payment also for each subsequent payment. In order to cancel recurring payments for the future, you should (a) contact us and (b) notify the merchant from which you have purchased the goods or services that you have cancelled the recurring payment. You should not cancel or otherwise reverse such recurring transactions by simply contacting the issuer / account provider of the Payment Method (e.g. your credit card provider or bank) without following the cancellation steps mentioned in this section 7.4. Subject to section 7.5, we will not be liable for any recurring payment(s) that are made before you have notified us of the cancellation and if your Getpay Account balance goes into negative balance as a result of such payment(s), you will be liable to repay such amount to us.

7.5. We will refund any past recurring payment(s) initiated by or through the merchant provided that (a) the original authorisation given to us or the merchant did not specify the exact amount of the payment and (b) the amount of the payment exceeded the amount that you could reasonably have expected taking into account your previous spending pattern and the circumstances of the case. You must request such a refund within eight (4) weeks from the date the funds were debited from your Getpay Account. You agree to provide us with such information as is reasonably necessary to ascertain whether the conditions for a refund described in this section 7.5 are satisfied. Within ten (10) Business Days of receiving a request for a refund or, where applicable, of receiving any further information we requested from you, we will either refund the full amount of the payment or provide you with justification for refusing to refund the payment indicating that you have a right to refer the matter to the Financial Services and Pensions Ombudsman (details in section 20) if you do not accept the justification provided.

7.6. If a chargeback or reversal of an upload transaction results in a negative balance in your Getpay Account, you will be required to repay such negative balance by uploading sufficient funds into your Getpay Account. Failure to do so is a breach of these Terms of Use. Repayment of the negative balance is due immediately without notice. We reserve the right, at any time, to send you reminders or to take other debt collection measures including but not limited to mandating a debt collection agency or solicitors or to pursue the claim in court. We reserve the right to charge you the expenses we reasonably incur in connection with any debt collection or enforcement efforts.

7.7. Uploaded funds will be credited to your Getpay Account after the funds have been received by us. Some upload transactions, such as those by credit or debit card, direct debit or direct banking will be credited to your Getpay Account immediately, but are subject to reversal if the actual funds do not reach us within a reasonable time in which case we will deduct such reversed transaction from the balance of your Getpay Account. If your Getpay Account balance is insufficient, we reserve the right to require repayment from you.

If your Getpay Account is enabled to make mass payments, the procedure to make such payments will be communicated to you in the relevant integration manual.

8.2. Every recipient of a payment you wish to send through us must have a valid means that we can use for their identification. For most of our services that means of identification will be a valid e-mail address but other means of identification may be required for our other services.

8.3. If you are asked to provide details of the recipient’s e-mail address or other means of identification, where applicable, you must take great care to properly type the exact details of who you wish to send money to. We use those details as the unique identifier to determine the intended recipient of the payment which you instruct us to process. Other information you provide along with the recipient’s means of identification may be disregarded and we shall not be liable for any error you make when entering the recipient’s means of identification.

8.4. If the e-mail address of the intended recipient is registered with us, the funds will be instantly credited to the Getpay Account associated with that e-mail address. Once funds are credited to the recipient’s Getpay Account, the transaction becomes irreversible.

If the recipient does not claim the payment within 14 days, the transaction will be cancelled and the funds will be returned to you. You may also cancel the transaction at any time before the funds have been credited to the recipient’s Getpay Account. To cancel a transaction you should log into your Getpay Account, locate the relevant transaction in your transactions history and select “Cancel”.

8.8. Payments are subject to payment limits due to security and legal requirements. These limits are set dynamically depending on your verification status. You can view these limits at any time in your Getpay Account profile. You should ensure that your limits are sufficient to cover the payment you intend to make as well as any applicable fees including service fees and currency conversion fees. You should be aware that the recipient of a payment may also be subject to spending and withdrawal limits and that this may affect the recipient’s access to the funds you intend to send.

You can check whether the provider is authorised in the information they give to you about the services they will provide.

8.A.2. We will treat any instruction from a Third Party Provider as if it were from you and the terms of this Agreement will still apply. If you consent to a Third Party Provider having access to information concerning your account, we will assume that you consent to access being granted as frequently as the Third Party Provider requests it.

8.A.3. If you give your security details to someone who is not a Third Party Provider, we will have to assume it is you that is authorising us to give access to your account, we will treat payments instructed by that third party as authorised by you and will not be responsible for any losses you suffer as a result of misuse or disclosure of information about your account by that third party.

8.A.4. We may refuse to allow a Third Party Provider to access your Getpay Account if we are concerned about unauthorised or fraudulent access by that Third Party Provider. Before we do this we will tell you and explain our reasons for doing so, unless it is not reasonably practicable, in which case we will tell you immediately afterwards. In either case, we will tell you using any of the contact details we hold for you. We won’t tell you our reasons where doing so will undermine our reasonable security measures or otherwise be unlawful. If you want to cancel the consent you have given to a Third Party Provider to access your account you should contact them directly.

8.A.5. If you think a payment may have been made incorrectly or is unauthorized, you must tell us as soon as possible even where you use a Third Party Provider.

Once a Third Party Provider has initiated a payment, you cannot normally cancel it.

9.3. If a person received a payment notification from us indicating that someone has sent them funds to an email address that is not registered, they will not be credited with the payment until it has been claimed in accordance with the instructions laid out in the notification email.

Where the withdrawal payment is received by you through the involvement of a payment service provider (such as the bank where you hold a bank account), we shall not be responsible for the withdrawal payment once the withdrawn funds are received by your payment service provider. We also reserve the right to request an alternative bank account or other withdrawal method to be used in case we are unable to process the withdrawal to your preferred withdrawal method.

Fees are subject to change in accordance with section 16. Under certain circumstances we may charge additional fees as set out in sections 7.3, 7.9, 7.12, 10.6, 11.6 and 11.7.

12.3. Your transactions may be subject to currency conversions. If you make a payment from your Getpay Account denominated in one currency to a Getpay Account denominated in another currency, you will be asked to either make the payment in the currency of your Getpay Account or in another currency. If you choose the currency of your Getpay Account, then the recipient will pay the fee for the conversion into the currency of his or her Getpay Account. If you choose the currency of the recipient’s Getpay Account, you will pay the fee for the conversion into the currency of the payment. If you choose a currency that is neither the currency of your Getpay Account nor the currency of the recipient’s Getpay Account then you will pay the fee for the conversion into the currency of the payment, and the recipient will pay the fee for the conversion of the payment currency into the currency of his or her Getpay Account.

12.4. For every currency conversion, we will apply the interbank market rate published by a third-party foreign currency data provider (Reuters) to which, we add a foreign exchange fee, which is displayed in the "Fees" section of the Website. The foreign exchange fee is payable in addition to the transaction fee. Where we charge fees to you in EUR, we won't apply a foreign exchange fee but will convert the amount in EUR to the currency of your Getpay Account at the applicable wholesale exchange rate.

12.5. Our Fees are either expressed as a percentage of the transaction or as a fixed amount in EUR. Where fixed fee amounts are displayed in a currency other than EUR, this is for information purposes only. If fees are deducted from a balance or a transaction denominated in a different currency, the EUR fee amount will be converted into an equivalent fee in that other currency based on the Getpay wholesale exchange rates applicable at the time and (as displayed on the “Fees" section of the Website under the "Currency Conversion Fees") and then deducted. We will not apply a foreign exchange fee on currency conversions of fees.

12.6. Fees payable by you will be deducted from your Account balance and you hereby authorise us to do the same. Transaction fees will be charged when the transaction is executed. If your Account balance is insufficient to cover the fees, we may refuse to execute the payment. Reversal or chargeback fees will be deducted when incurred.

12.7 If the deduction of fees results in a negative Getpay Account balance, you will be required to repay such negative balance by uploading sufficient funds into your Getpay Account. Failure to do so is a breach of these Terms of Use. Repayment of the negative balance is due immediately without notice. However, we reserve the right at any time to send you reminders that you need to upload funds or to take other debt collection measures including but not limited to instructing a debt collection agency or solicitors or to pursue the claim in court. We reserve the right to charge you expenses we have reasonably incurred in connection with any debt collection or enforcement efforts.

If you withdraw consent in this way, we will cease using your data for this purpose, but may continue to process your data for other purposes where we have other lawful grounds to do so, such as where we are legally required to keep records of transactions.
