PayByCash Member Agreement

GENERAL
Internet Payment Solutions, Inc. ("PayByCash") provides payment processing services for Internet Content Providers and Internet Retailers ("Merchants"). Access to Merchants’ services or purchase of goods from a Merchant by Consumers occurs when they remit payment to PayByCash. PayByCash subtracts any applicable fees and/or taxes and communicates the remainder to the Merchant. Access to Merchants’ service is subject to the Consumer’s compliance with certain terms and conditions spelled out in this Agreement as well as the Consumer’s compliance with the Conditions, Terms of Service ("ToS"), Rules of Conduct ("RoC"), and/or the End User License Agreement ("EULA") published by the Merchant whose goods or services the Consumer is ultimately buying. The terms and conditions governing PayByCash processing services appear below. PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE SENDING PAYMENT. BY TRAVERSING THE PAYBYCASH SITE OR REMITTING PAYMENT TO PAYBYCASH, YOU THE CONSUMER AGREE TO BE BOUND BY BOTH THIS MEMBER AGREEMENT AND THAT OF THE MERCHANT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOU MAY NOT USE THE PAYBYCASH SITE NOR REMIT PAYMENT TO PAYBYCASH.

When you come to PayByCash to pay for a Merchant’s goods or services, a PayByCash Account is created for you.

When you remit payment to PayByCash in response to a quote for service ("Amount Due") for a specific transaction, PayByCash will communicate receipt of your payment to the merchant. Merchants with whom PayByCash has an agreement are obligated to either accept or reject your payment. Upon acceptance, they are obligated to release the goods or services you’ve paid for. If the merchant rejects your payment or if PayByCash cannot get an acknowledgement of the payment, PayByCash will return your payment to you. PayByCash will make a reasonable effort to return your payment to you through the same payment system, method or channel you used to send the payment, in your native currency. Should that prove impractical or impossible, PayByCash may disburse your refund as a check drawn on a U.S. bank, payable in U.S. Dollars ("USD"). If you paid using another currency and your refund is paid in USD, then PayByCash reserves the right to calculate the necessary currency conversion using the XE.com mid-market rate, minus 4% as a currency exchange fee.

Once a payment has been accepted by a merchant, there are no refunds unless the Merchant authorizes that refund and communicates that authorization directly to PayByCash.

In the event you send an overpayment, that is, an amount that exceeds the quoted amount due for a transaction, PayByCash will consider the extra amount paid as a purchase of PayByCash Pixels™, which are a PayByCash unit of virtual, or pretend, currency that PayByCash uses for tracking stored value. PayByCash Pixels are NOT CONVERTIBLE back into real currency and are not refundable. PayByCash Pixels can ONLY be used for future purchases from the original Merchant whose goods were being bought or sold with that transaction’s payment. PayByCash retains sole right to set the storage and redemption value of PayByCash Pixels and may change their value at any time. By submitting an overpayment to PayByCash, you the Consumer are indicating that you want PayByCash to use your overpayment by buy PayByCash Pixels at the current market rate for Pixels, which is set by PayByCash and you understand that Pixels are only usable on the PayByCash site or other sites designated by PayByCash.

PRICING
PayByCash reserves the right to change its rates and prices at any time without warning.

If you opt to use a payment method offered by PayByCash where delivery of the payment constitutes a "promise to pay" (such as is the case with a payment by check or direct debit of your checking or savings account, or a payment made via a transaction service allowing payment reversal), and your promised payment does not clear or is uncollectible, is refused or not honored by your bank, or you reverse your payment, your access to Account(s) on Merchants’ services may be suspended immediately. All such actions shall result in a $25 reactivation fee and your Account will remain inaccessible until said fee and all associated bad debts are paid to PAYBYCASH. Reactivation fees are levied per instance of un-cleared, non-sufficient funds (NSF), stopped, charged-back, or reversed payments. You agree you will also pay this reactivation fee should you submit false or incorrect checking or savings account information resulting in PAYBYCASH being charged a bank fee for submitting a direct debit that is not honored by your bank. Any charge levied by a bank against your or another bank account as a result of your submitting incorrect, invalid, or fraudulent bank information is your responsibility to pay and PAYBYCASH shall not be held liable for such charges.

You will be liable for all attorney and collection fees arising from efforts to collect any unpaid balance on your account(s) resulting from your failure to honor your promise to pay. If your usage fees for the site or Service are billed to your credit card or your bank checking account and PAYBYCASH is informed by the issuing bank that your account information is invalid or no longer active, your account on a Provider's service may be deactivated immediately. In order to prevent any such deactivation or to reactivate your account, you must contact PAYBYCASH at customerservice@paybycash.com and provide valid information.

You can obtain current rates for PAYBYCASH pricing for handling payments for any Merchant that PayByCash processes alternate payment options for by selecting to pay via PayByCash from the Merchant’s Point of Sale page, or by clicking on other links on the Merchant site designated for use by Consumers seeking to use PayByCash. Clicking on these links redirects you to the PayByCash site, where the amount due for that particular transaction will be clearly displayed. If you are dissatisfied with any charges, you may discontinue the Service at any time by notifying PAYBYCASH at customerservice@paybycash.com. PAYBYCASH may discontinue the Service and access to Accounts at any time. This will NOT result in, or be considered grounds for, a refund of any previously paid amount.

If you have subscribed to have PayByCash recurringly charge you for payments due to a Merchant, such as for an ongoing subscription, you may discontinue the Service at any time by notifying PAYBYCASH at customerservice@paybycash.com.

In the event your access to an Account is terminated by the associated Merchant as a result of your actions, you immediately forfeit all time remaining on your access to that Account. You may request a refund of the pro-rated purchase price; however, neither PAYBYCASH nor the Merchant is under any obligation to refund the unused amount. If PAYBYCASH elects to refund the pro-rated amount, that refund may have early termination or other reasonable fees subtracted from it.

PayByCash reserves the right to charge additional finance fees for late payment at the highest interest rates permitted by law.

You understand that PAYBYCASH cannot be held liable for any content one might gain access to or be exposed to, or harm that might result while accessing an Account.

In the event that any portion of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable, the unenforceable portion shall be construed in accordance with applicable law as nearly as possible to reflect the original intentions of PAYBYCASH and the remainder of the provisions shall remain in full force and effect. PAYBYCASH’s failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. Neither the course of conduct between parties nor trade practices shall act to modify any provision of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Virginia, in the United States of America, without regard to its conflicts of law provisions.
