Payments terms

“Charge” means a credit or debit instruction to capture funds from an account that a Customer maintains with a bank or other financial institution in connection with a Transaction. “Refund” means an instruction initiated by you to return funds to a Customer for an existing Charge.

“Dispute” means an instruction initiated by a Customer with a Financial Services Provider or us to return funds for an existing Charge (including a chargeback on a payment card network; or a dispute on a debit network).

“Reversal” means an instruction initiated by a Financial Services Provider or us to return funds for an existing Charge. Reversals may result from (i) invalidation of a charge by a Financial Services Provider; (ii) funds settled to you in error or without authorisation; and (iii) submission of a Charge in violation of Network Rules, or where submission of the Charge or your use of Payment Services violates this Agreement.

“Return” means an instruction initiated by you, a Customer, or a Financial Services Provider to return funds unrelated to an existing Charge.

“Transfer” means an instruction to credit funds to or debit funds from an account you designate with a Financial Services Provider.

“Fine” means any fines, levies, or other charges imposed by us or a Financial Services Provider caused by your violation of Laws or this Agreement, or as permitted by Network Rules.

“Network Rules” means the guidelines, bylaws, rules, and regulations imposed by the Financial Services Providers that operate payment networks supported by Stripe (including the payment card network operating rules for Visa, MasterCard, or the American Express networks).

You may only submit Charges through the Payment Services that are authorised by your Customers. To enable us to process Transactions for you, you authorise and direct Financial Services Providers to receive and pay any funds owed to you through the Payment Services, and you will identify Gridpay as your agent for purposes of providing the Payment Services to you.

Except where Gridpay and a Customer have otherwise agreed, you maintain the direct relationship with your Customers and are responsible for: (i) acquiring appropriate consent to submit Charges through the Payment 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. However, even authorised Transactions may be subject to a Dispute. Gridpay is not responsible for or liable to you for authorised and completed Charges that are later the subject of a Dispute, Refund, or Reversal, are submitted without authorisation or in error, or violate any Laws.

You are immediately responsible to us for all Disputes, Refunds, Reversals, Returns, or Fines regardless of the reason or timing. In many but not all cases, you may have the ability to challenge a Dispute by submitting evidence to us. We may request additional information to provide to Financial Services Providers to assist you in contesting the Dispute, but we cannot guarantee that your challenge will be successful. Financial Services Providers may deny your challenge for any reason they deem appropriate. Where a challenge is entirely or partially successful, a Financial Services Provider may credit funds associated with the Charge that is the subject of the Dispute (or a portion thereof) to your Gridpay Account.

Please keep in mind that 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. Gridpay does not and will not insure you against losses caused by fraud under any circumstances. For example, if someone pretends to be a legitimate buyer but is a fraudster, you will be responsible for any resulting costs, including Disputes, even if you do not recover the fraudulently purchased product. Even if we work with you to assist you or law enforcement in recovering lost funds, Gridpay is not liable to you, or responsible for your financial losses or any other consequences of such fraud.

A Financial Services Provider or we may issue a Reversal for any Charge where a Charge is made without the account owner´s authorisation, in connection with a Restricted Business, that violates the Network Rules, or for many other reasons. If a Financial Services Provider or we issue a Reversal, we will provide you Notice and a description of the cause of the Reversal.

If a Dispute or Reversal is commenced against a Charge, you will be charged a £15 fee and we will attempt to recover the disputed amount from your Gridpay account. If you contest the disputed charge and win, we will reinstate all disputed funds including the £15 fee. If you lose the dispute you are liable for the entire disputed amount including the £15 fee.

You will be charged a monthly subscription of £9.99 for the use of our services and failure to pay this subscription charge on time may result in the suspension or cancelation of your Gridpay account. If you decide to cancel your monthly subscription, Your Gridpay account will remain active until the end of the month you have been charged for. There are no refunds with regards to your monthly subscription.

Each Transaction you process will carry a transaction fee of 2.2% plus 50 pence, which will be charged to you during the processing of each transaction. You can only accept payments from cards that are registered (addresses) within the UK and all EU member states.

If a refund is issued for any transaction you have processed through your Gridpay account, the amount will be refunded free of charge but the original transaction fees will not be returned.

Payouts will be made to your connected bank account daily from your available balance. During the Gridpay registration process, you are asked to provide us with your bank account and sort code details. You are solely responsible to ensure these details are correct. Incorrect account number/sort code may result in us paying out funds into the wrong account and these funds may not be able to be recovered. You are responsible for all losses incurred by you providing us with incorrect banking details. Payouts may take up to 7 business days to process.

We reserve the right to suspend payments and payouts from your Gridpay account for any reason we consider to be suspicious.

Gridpay will not be held responsible for any loss of business you suffer as a result of these payment terms stated above.
