Terms of Service

This User Agreement ("Agreement") is effective as of June 16th, 2022, and was most recently updated on June 16th 2022. It describes the terms by which you will be bound when you use the services accessible at wwwPAYzz.com ("Service"). Do not use the Service if you do not agree to be bound by these terms. By using the Service, you are agreeing to the terms of this Agreement.
 

As used throughout this Agreement, the terms "PAYzz""we""us", and "our" refer to PAYzz, Inc., a Delaware U.S.A. corporation, together with its employees, directors, successors, and assignees. The terms "you" and "“your" refer to users of the Service, whether as Senders or Recipients.

In order to use the payment functionality of PAYzz application, you must open a "Dwolla Platform" account provided by Dwolla, Inc. and you must accept the Dwolla Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.  Any funds held in the Dwolla account are held by Dwolla's financial institution partners as set out in the Dwolla Terms of Service.  You authorize PAYzz to share your identity and account data with Dwolla for the purposes of opening and supporting your Dwolla account, and you are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of that data.  You understand that you will access and manage your Dwolla account through our application, and Dwolla account notifications will be sent by us, not Dwolla.  We will provide customer support for your Dwolla account activity, and can be reached at PAYzz.com.

 

1. THE SERVICE
 

We recommend you use the Service to send money to friends and family and, therefore, you should not use the Service to send money to strangers.
 

The Service allows users to send international money transfers from the United States to other countries served by PAYzz. A "Sender" uses the Service to send money and a "Recipient" receives money through the Service. A "Transaction" refers to an order to send money through the Service. The "Transaction Amount" is the amount in US dollars that the Sender provides to PAYzz for transmittal to the Recipient. The "Payout Amount" is the amount paid out to the Recipient.
 

2. ELIGIBILITY FOR THE SERVICE
 

  1. Age and Capacity. You must be at least eighteen (18) years old to create an account, access, or use the Service as a Sender. You must be able to form legally binding contracts under applicable law. Other restrictions may apply.
  2. Others. You may not submit or receive a Transaction on behalf of any other person.
  3. Residence within the United States. The Service is available to residents of the United States only.
  4. Offer and Acceptance. If you submit a Transaction, you are requesting that we process your Transaction, an offer that we may accept or reject at our sole discretion.
  5. Registered in the U.S.A. Only PAYzz, Inc. is not licensed to provide the Service outside of the United States of America. As a result, the Service may not be available for use in countries other than the United States.
  6. Multiple Accounts. Senders may only have one active account. If we determine that a Sender is using multiple accounts, we reserve the right to merge or terminate one or more of the accounts, limit the Sender's use of the Service, or refuse their continued use of the Service.
     

3. PAYING FOR THE SERVICE
 

  1. Charges. With each Transaction, you submit you are agreeing to pay us a service fee ("Service Fee"), in addition to the Transaction Amount. Payment in US dollars is due at the time the transaction is submitted for processing. If you submit a transaction that results in us being charged NSF fees, chargeback fees, or other similar costs, you agree to reimburse PAYzz for all such fees.
     
  2. Payment. In order for us to process your transaction, you authorize us to charge any of the payment instruments included in your payment profile ("Payment Instrument" includes any credit card, debit card, or bank account). If your payment fails you authorize us to re-try one or more times using the same Payment Instrument. You warrant that you are an authorized and lawful user of the Payment Instrument(s).
     
  3. Other Charges. We are not responsible for fees that may be imposed by financial institutions associated with your Payment Instruments. For example, some credit card issuers may treat the use of your credit card to use the Service as a "cash advance" and may impose additional fees and interest costs for the transaction. PAYzz is not responsible for any NSF fees, chargeback fees, or other, similar charges that might be imposed on you by your bank, credit card issuer, or another provider.
     

4. RECEIVING A REMITTANCE
 

  1. Service Providers. We work with local banks and other third-party outlets (each, a "Service Provider") to make funds available to Recipients. As a Sender, you are appointing your Recipient as your agent for the purpose of receiving funds transmitted through the Service. We try to provide current information on our website about the location, availability, and hours of our Service Providers. However, we are not responsible for any inaccurate or incomplete information that may be posted on the website.
     
  2. Verification. Recipients will be required to prove their identities before receiving funds by presenting valid identification. Also, Recipients may be required to provide a reference number or another similar identifier associated with their Transactions.
     

5. IMPORTANT SERVICE RESTRICTIONS
 

  1. General. We may refuse any Transaction or limit the amount to be transferred, either on a per-transaction or aggregated basis. These limits may be imposed on individual accounts or linked accounts. We reserve the right at any time to modify or discontinue all or any part of the Service.
     
  2. Delays. Your Transaction may be delayed by our effort to verify your identity and validate your Payment Instruments and otherwise comply with laws or manage our financial risk. You may be entitled to a refund in certain circumstances and you may cancel your transaction at any time while it is pending.
     
  3. Commercial Transactions. You should not use the Service to send money except to people that you know.

We may refuse Transactions from certain Senders and to certain Recipients that are included on the Specially Designated Nationals list, Non-cooperative Countries and Territories list, and other lists as issued by different government agencies.

7. ERROR RESOLUTION, CANCELLATIONS, AND REFUNDS
 

  1. Error Resolution. Let us know at any time if you have any problems with the Service.

You can contact us using the contact information at the bottom of this Agreement.
 

  1. Refunds. You can cancel your transaction at any time prior to its completion. Completion means that your recipient claimed the money you sent either through cash pick-up, or bank account deposit. Upon receipt of a cancellation request, we may confirm with our Service Providers to determine whether the transaction has been completed prior to initiating a refund.

 

The Transaction Amount will not be refunded after completion. If, however, you are not satisfied with our service for any reason we will always refund the fee amount. All refunds will be credited to the same Payment Instrument used to pay for the Transaction. Refunds are only made in U.S. dollars and will not be adjusted to account for changes in the value of the U.S. dollar or foreign currency from the time your Transaction was submitted. Please note that residents of certain jurisdictions may have certain refund rights and complaint procedures, as described here:

  • The monies have been transmitted and delivered to the recipient prior to receipt of the written request for a refund;
  • Instructions have been given committing an equivalent amount of money to the person designated by the customer prior to receipt of a written request for a refund;
  • PAYzz or its authorized delegate has reason to believe that a crime has occurred, is occurring, or may potentially occur as a result of transmitting the money as requested by the customer or refunding the money as requested by the customer; or

9. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
 

We make reasonable efforts to ensure that Transactions are processed in a timely manner, but we make no representations or warranties regarding the time needed to complete processing because the Service is dependent on many factors outside our control.

10. INDEMNITY

Disputes between you and PAYzz regarding the Service may be reported online to Customer Service; by telephone at +1 (617) 877-4464 or by mail at PAYzz, Inc.

 

  1. Arbitration. You and PAYzz agree that any Claim will be settled by binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right to bring an individual action in small claims court. If a party elects’ arbitration, that party will initiate such arbitration through an established alternative dispute resolution (ADR) provider mutually agreed upon by the parties. The ADR provider and the parties must comply with the following rules: (a) the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or be solely based on written submissions, the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration; (b) the arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties; (c) the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding, and (d) any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. You acknowledge and agree that you and PAYzz are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding.
     
  2. Costs and Fees. If your claim does not seek an award of more than $75,000, PAYzz will pay the fees associated with the arbitration unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your Claim or the relief sought to be frivolous or brought for an improper purpose. If you prevail in arbitration you may be entitled to an award of attorneys' fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law. PAYzz will not seek, and hereby waives all rights it may have under applicable law to recover, attorneys' fees and expenses if it prevails in arbitration unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your Claim or the relief sought to be frivolous or brought for an improper purpose.
     
  3. Forum for Disputes. Except as otherwise agreed by the parties or as described in section 12(c) above, you agree that any claim or dispute you may have against PAYzz must be resolved by a court.
     
  4. Improperly Filed Litigation. All claims you bring against PAYzz must be resolved in accordance with section 12 of this Agreement. All claims filed or brought contrary to section 12 shall be considered improperly filed, and a breach of this Agreement.
