Hyperwallet Terms and Conditions



These Terms and Conditions are effective as of January 1, 2021. See Section 1.2.4 for further information on how changes may be made. By registering your Pay Portal, you agree to abide by these Terms and Conditions.


1. Introduction


1. Hyperwallet and You


1.1.1 Hyperwallet is a PayPal service. We provide 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 Hyperwallet’s business customers (each a “Payor”) (the “Services”) who desire to make payments to their designated payees, like you (a “Payee”).


1.1.2 Hyperwallet operates and provides the Services through local affiliates, including members of the PayPal group of companies (each an “Affiliate”) around the world. Together with their respective parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, these Affiliates are individually and collectively referred to in these Terms and Conditions as “Hyperwallet”. Affiliates may be registered and licensed in various jurisdictions with relevant regulatory agencies as set forth in the “Licenses and Complaints” section of the website. The Affiliates set out in the Affiliates and Governing Law Schedule also provide Services to Payors.


1.1.3 Hyperwallet 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 Hyperwallet brand (the “Pay Portal”). The Pay Portal is the interface that may facilitate certain payments which you will receive from the Payor (the “Payouts” and each, a “Payout”). Payout capabilities are available in multiple currencies and can be implemented using a variety of different methods. You may be able to receive 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 (“Hyperwallet Card”), load to a closed loop electronic gift card, load to your existing debit card, cheque, cash pickup at collection locations provided by third-party money transfer providers (e.g. Western Union), and other payment methods (each a “Payout Method” and collectively “Payout Methods”)), all as supported and made available from time to time. Some Payout Methods may require access to the Pay Portal. The Payouts may comprise money remittance and/or the issuance of 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.


1.1.4 Among the Payout Methods, Payees in the EEA or the UK must contract with us directly to use the Payment Processing Services (as defined below) on the Payor’s marketplace platform. Terms applicable to these Payment Processing Services appear in Section 11 of the Payout Schedule.


1.1.5 Fees for Services


1.1.5.1 YOUR USE OF THE PAY PORTAL MAY BE SUBJECT TO FEES, AS DETERMINED BY YOUR PAYOR. THESE FEES MAY INCLUDE RECURRING MONTHLY FEES, YEARLY FEE AND/OR FEES FOR INACTIVITY. To view the schedule of fees applicable to your use of the Pay Portal, please click on “Fees” appearing under “Resources” section of the header menu on the Pay Portal Home Screen. Or, you may click on “Fees” at the bottom of the Home Screen (the “Fee Schedule”). Fees will be charged only where permitted by applicable law.


1.1.5.2 BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOU AGREE PAY THE FEES APPEARING IN THE FEE SCHEDULE. You further agree that Hyperwallet may collect the fees automatically from available funds reflected in your Pay Portal, or from the amounts transferred by you through the Payout Methods, as applicable. In addition, you agree third parties facilitating the Payout Methods may impose additional fees on transactions, which may be deducted from available funds reflected in your Pay Portal balance, depending on the type of transaction you conduct. These fees will be displayed to you before completing the transaction. Please review Section 3 for additional terms related to the Fees for Services.


1.1.6 In addition to the Payouts and Pay Portal, Hyperwallet may also originate debit entries directly from your bank account and deliver them to your Payor (“Direct Debits”). Hyperwallet originates Direct Debit entries when instructed by your Payor subject to a written authorization you have granted to your Payor to debit funds from the bank account associated with your Pay Portal. Such authorization must be signed by you, and in a form drafted to meet the requirements imposed under applicable law, including applicable rules of any clearing network through which the Direct Debit entries may be settled. Hyperwallet is reliant on your Payor alone for instructions regarding the amount and frequency of Direct Debit entries. Hyperwallet is not responsible for any losses, fees, or penalties you may incur as a result of processing the Direct Debits from your bank account under a valid and current authorization. Unless applicable law provides for automatic expiry of an authorization, you must communicate your intent to cancel an authorization by sending a written cancellation request to your Payor. In the event that your bank rejects a Direct Debit entry for non-sufficient funds, or in relation to a dispute, Hyperwallet may present the Direct Debit entry again two additional times. Three Direct Debit entries returned for non-sufficient funds by your bank within a 60-day period will void your authorization automatically. To dispute a Direct Debit entry, you must notify the financial institution holding your bank account that you intend to dispute the entry within the 60-day period following the date that your account was debited. Following notification of the dispute with your bank, you should contact Payor to notify them of the dispute.


1.1. 7 Hyperwallet 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 Hyperwallet 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. Why these Terms and Conditions are important to You


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

Other capitalized terms not otherwise defined within the body of the Terms and Conditions shall have the meanings set forth in the Definitions Schedule.


1.2.2. Your Payor has engaged Hyperwallet to provide the Services to it, for its subsequent provision of certain Payouts to you.

If you do not wish to accept the new or changed Terms and Conditions, you must cease accessing the Pay Portal and discontinue receiving the 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 11 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 or the UK who are using the Payment Processing Services on the Payor’s marketplace platform.

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


5.4.11. You and Hyperwallet agree that each of us may bring claims against the other only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action or proceeding.

Also, the arbitrator(s) may award relief (including monetary, injunctive and declaratory relief) only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief necessitated by that party’s individual claim(s). Any relief awarded cannot affect other Hyperwallet customers.


5.4.12. You can choose to reject this Agreement to Arbitrate by mailing us a signed, written opt-out notice which includes your name, address, phone number, and the email address(es) used to log in to the Pay Portal to which the opt-out applies. The opt-out notice must be postmarked no later than 30 days after the date you accept the Terms and Conditions for the first time. You must mail the opt-out notice to PayPal, Inc., Attention: Hyperwallet Legal Department, 2211 North First Street, San Jose, CA 95131.

If your address is unknown, or registered in a foreign country or territory, the funds in your Pay Portal will be escheated to the State of Delaware. Where required, Hyperwallet will send you a notice prior to escheating any funds in your Pay Portal. If you fail to respond to this notice, the funds in your Pay Portal may be escheated to the applicable state. If you would like to claim any escheated funds from the applicable state, please contact the applicable state’s unclaimed property administrator.


6.3.4. Notwithstanding the above, escheatment of funds on Hyperwallet Cards, if any, will be managed in the manner described in the applicable Cardholder Agreement.

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 Pay Portal. 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 Hyperwallet 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 Hyperwallet, such fee will be passed on to you and deducted from your Pay Portal 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.

It is not a consumer account and is not connected in any way to any other account you may have. Funds transferred to your Hyperwallet Card will no longer be held by Hyperwallet and are instead held by the Issuer. Any balance on a Hyperwallet Card may be held by the Issuer in applicable Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or equivalent government-insured account(s). Hyperwallet may show you the amount of any balance on your Hyperwallet Card in the Pay Portal for informational purposes only.

Where permitted by the card issuer, Hyperwallet may transfer funds from your Hyperwallet Card to your bank account identified in the Pay Portal. You acknowledge and agree that any request of Hyperwallet by you to conduct such transfers (unloads) is fulfilled at Hyperwallet’s discretion strictly in its capacity as a service provider and program manager for the bank that issued the Hyperwallet Card to you. You further agree that any such transfer requested by you is made in connection with and on behalf of your trade or business.

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.

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.

In these situations, Hyperwallet will identify your Pay Portal balance as stored value and owned by you in the Pay Portal. Any such stored value is not a gift card or gift certificate. Where Hyperwallet has identified the balance in your Pay Portal as stored value, you do not need to maintain a balance in your Pay Portal in order to receive the Services although Hyperwallet reserves the right to close your Pay Portal in its sole discretion. You acknowledge that the Services and the Pay Portal are not bank accounts and that Hyperwallet is not a financial institution. Funds reflected in or transmitted in connection with the Pay Portal do not earn any interest payable to you.


Hyperwallet will combine your balance with the balances of other users and will safeguard those funds in accordance with applicable US state money transmitter laws. We will hold pooled balances separate from our corporate funds and will not use balances for our operating expenses or for other corporate purposes. We will not voluntarily make balances available to creditors in the event of insolvency.


11. Additional Payment Terms for the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and United Kingdom Only


11.1. Introduction


The Additional Payment Terms as described under this Section 11 are between (i) you, as an EEA-based or a UK-based Payee; and (ii) PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A. (R.C.S. Luxembourg B 118 349), a duly licensed Luxembourg credit institution in the sense of Article 2 of the law of 5 April 1993 on the financial sector, as amended, and under the prudential supervision of the Luxembourg supervisory authority, the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier. From 1 January 2021, PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A. is deemed authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. The nature and extent of consumer protections may differ from those for firms based in the UK. Details of the Temporary Permissions Regime, which allows EEA-based firms to operate in the UK for a limited period while seeking full authorisation, are available on the Financial Conduct Authority’s website.


PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A. provides Services to you in accordance with this Section 11. If you are receiving Payment Processing Services, PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A. provides these to you pursuant to Section 11.5.


11.2. 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 Pay Portal, receiving the Payouts or in conjunction with use of the Payout Methods, so that no unauthorised person or entity can use your credentials to log on to your Pay Portal. You must tell us as soon as you can by contacting us if you think someone may be using the Pay Portal 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 authorisation or fraud we may deny the third-party service provider access to your account. In such 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.


11.3. Restrictions


11.3.1 Provision of Spendback


If Hyperwallet makes Spendback available to you for the purchase of goods or services provided by your Payor, and except as otherwise agreed, Hyperwallet acts as an agent of the Payor in carrying out the Payout Method instructions, which instructions may be amended to reflect amounts netted off to execute Spendback purchases via the Pay Portal which is provided for the purposes of this section as a regulated money remittance service. Any amounts available for Spendback in the Pay Portal do not represent e-money owned by you but belong to and are 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 Pay Portal to your Payout Method and/or to execute any Additional Optional Services such as but not limited to Spendback. For the avoidance of doubt, the Pay Portal is not a payment account within the meaning of PSD2. Hyperwallet may offer, limit, restrict, or terminate any such services without notice to you.


11.3.2. Spending limits


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


11.3.3. Stopping a Payout Method


We may stop a Payout Method if:


(i) you do not have enough money in your account to complete the Payout;


(ii) the Payout Method would put you over any spending limit we introduce;


(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

11.3.4 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 Hyperwallet, 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 account entirely or for any particular transaction, which may in turn suspend, block, limit, close or cancel access to 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 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


11.4. PSD2 Provisions


Depending upon the Payouts to be made available to you by your Payor, certain Payout Methods described above constitute a regulated money remittance service in EEA or UK and do not involve you having e-money with us or any Affiliate. In the event that Payout Methods constitute money remittance, then your payment service provider will be a third party such as your bank or card issuer and you should refer to such party’s terms and conditions for the provision of regulated payment services to you.


In the event that you are in receipt of the Payment Processing Services pursuant to Section 11.5, then we are your payment service provider and our provision of regulated payment services to you is governed by all the terms herein and subject to the disapplication of certain provisions of EU’s Payment Services Directive (Directive 2015/2366/EU) (“PSD2”). You agree that, if and to the extent that the provision of any Payouts at any time is subject to any legislation in any jurisdiction implemented for purposes of transposing PSD2, the following provisions of PSD2 shall not apply to this Agreement or to the provision of such Payouts:


(i) Articles 40 (Charges for information), 41 (Burden of proof on information requirements), 42 (Derogation from information requirements for low-value payment instruments and electronic money), 44 (Prior general information), 45 (Information and conditions), 46 (Information for the payer and payee after the initiation of a payment order), 47 (Information for payer's account servicing payment service provider in the event of a payment initiation service), 48 (Information for the payer after receipt of the payment order), 49 (Information for the payee after execution), 51 (Prior general information), 52 (Information and conditions), 53 (Accessibility of information and conditions of the framework contract), 54 (Changes in conditions of the framework contract), 55 (Termination), 56 (Information before execution of individual payment transactions), 57 (Information for the payer on individual payment transactions), 58 (Information for the payee on individual payment transactions), 59 (Currency and currency conversion), 60 (Information on additional charges or reductions), 62(1) (Charges applicable), 64(3) (Consent and withdrawal of consent), 72 (Evidence on authentication and execution of payment transactions), 74 (Payer's liability for unauthorised payment transactions), 76 (Refunds for payment transactions initiated by or through a payee), 77 (Requests for refunds for payment transactions initiated by or through a payee), 80 (Irrevocability of a payment order), and 89 (Payment service providers' liability for non-execution, defective or late execution of payment transactions); and


(ii) where transactions are neither euro nor pound sterling transactions, the requirements regarding execution and time-value dating set out in any PSD2 transposition relating to Articles 83 to 85 of PSD2 will not apply to this Agreement or to the provision of such Payouts, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Platform Payee Account is not a payment account within the meaning of PSD2.

Any dispute you might have with the Payor Platform concerning services that the Payor Platform provides is between you and the Payor Platform and PayPal is not a party to such dispute; PayPal will not be responsible or liable for the Payor Platform’s failure to provide the Platform Services as agreed. PayPal is not an e-commerce platform or marketplace, and only provides the PayPal Payment Processing Services.

(i) PayPal Payment Processing Services Fees. The fees for your use of the PayPal Payment Processing Services through the Payor Platform are accessible on the Payor Platform or otherwise as disclosed to you by the Payor Platform or PayPal. You undertake to pay such fees and your payment of such fees constitutes valid consideration for purposes of these Platform Terms and Conditions between you and PayPal. Upon instructions by your Payor, PayPal will have the right to deduct from your Platform Payee Account funds PayPal’s fees for the PayPal Payment Processing Services. You are responsible for the fees for the PayPal Payment Processing Services even if there are insufficient funds to cover such fees associated with your Platform Payee Account. If your Platform Payee Account funds are not sufficient to cover the fees, you authorise PayPal to debit immediately the amount owed from your Payouts. In the event that PayPal is unable to recover any fee amount that is due from your Platform Payee Account, PayPal may terminate your use of the PayPal Payment Processing Services within 30 days of the date that the fee was due, and you will remain obligated to pay PayPal for any unpaid amounts.


(ii) Payor Platform Services Fees. You hereby agree that the Payor Platform can deduct from your Platform Payee Account balance any Platform Services fees or other amounts payable to Payor Platform communicated to us by the Payor Platform. You are responsible for such payments to the Payor Platform even if there are insufficient funds to cover such fees associated with your Platform Payee Account. If your Platform Payee Account funds are not sufficient to cover the fees, you authorise PayPal to debit immediately the amount owed from your Payout Methods. In the event that PayPal is unable to recover any fee amount that is due from your Platform Payee Account, PayPal may terminate your use of the PayPal Payment Processing Services within 30 days of the date that the fee was due, and you will remain obligated to pay PayPal for any unpaid amounts. If you want to cancel the authorisation for the future, you can close your account with the Payor Platform.

It is your responsibility to determine what, if any, taxes apply to the payments you make or receive, and it is your responsibility to collect, report and remit the correct tax to the appropriate tax authority. PayPal is not responsible for determining whether taxes apply to your Payout Methods or Payouts, or for collecting, reporting or remitting any taxes arising from any transaction.


11.5.4 Payouts


(i) General. You will receive a Payout of your Platform Payee Account funds from PayPal in accordance with Section 2 of the Payout Schedule of the Terms and Conditions. Any funds associated with your Platform Payee Account, net of any deductions, set-off or debit amounts owed to the Payor Platform or PayPal, will constitute a Payout. If any amounts owed to PayPal exceed the amount of funds associated with your Platform Payee Account, PayPal may initiate a debit from your Payout Methods (if applicable). You agree that PayPal may debit your account for the applicable amounts, and/or setoff the applicable amounts against future Payouts. Upon PayPal’s request, you agree to provide PayPal with all necessary bank account, routing and related information and grant PayPal any required permission to debit the applicable amounts from your Payout Method. Any Payouts, including the timing thereof, will be in accordance with the terms and conditions established by, and communicated to you by, the Payor Platform. Any Payout may be reduced by the amount of fees, fines and amounts owed to PayPal or the Payor Platform for any reason.


(ii) Suspension of Payouts. PayPal reserves the right to suspend the Payouts to you, even after you have stopped accepting payments to your Platform Payee Account through the Payor Platform. Examples of situations where PayPal may do so are: (i) when PayPal is instructed to do so by the Payor Platform; (ii) where there are pending, anticipated, or excessive chargebacks, refunds, reversals, disputes or invalidated payments; (iii) in the event that PayPal suspects or becomes aware of suspicious activity; (iv) where PayPal is required by applicable law or court order. If PayPal exercises its right to withhold a Payout for any reason, PayPal will work with the Payor Platform to communicate the general reason for withholding the Payout and give you a timeline for releasing the funds and any necessary steps you’re required to take.


(iii) Incorrect Payouts. The information required for receiving your Payouts will depend on the financial institution where you hold your Payout Method. Please make sure that any information about your Payout Method that you provide to PayPal is accurate and complete. If your Payout Method information changes or you decide that you want to switch to a different Payout Method, you must notify PayPal by following the procedures established by the Payor Platform. The Payor Platform might require you to provide notice of a change a certain number of days in advance of the change taking effect. You understand that this requirement exists to ensure the Payor Platform has sufficient time to notify us of the change and to give us time to reflect the change in our systems. PayPal will not be responsible for any problems with a Payout that results from PayPal using incorrect Payout Method information because of your delay in providing notice to the Payor Platform.

For Terms and Conditions:


(i) Sections 1.2.4 and 3.3: We will notify you of any changes to the Terms and Conditions on two (2) months notice except where the changes are more favourable for you in which case the changes will be immediate. In the event that you do not accept the changes you have a right of termination at any time without charge within the two (2) month notice period or such later date when the change is due to come into effect.


(ii) Section 3.1.1: The Pay Portal contains all relevant information relating to the Payouts, fees and exchange rates. It also provides all relevant information relating to the Payout transactions including (a) a reference enabling you to identify the Payout transaction and, where appropriate, the payer and any information transferred with the Payout transaction; (b) the amount of the Payout transaction in the currency in which the funds are at your disposal; (c) the amount of any charges for the Payout transaction payable by you and, where applicable, a breakdown of the amount of such charges; d) where applicable, the exchange rate used in the Payout transaction, and the amount of the Payout transaction before that currency conversion; and (e) the credit value date.


(iii) Section 3.1: You agree that we may deduct all applicable fees listed in the Pay Portal from your account or the sums we send to you.


(iv) Section 6.1: These Terms and Conditions apply from the moment you successfully register to use the Pay Portal and/or receive the Payouts, and end when your Pay Portal is closed and the Payouts are ceased for whatever reason, except that these Terms and Conditions will survive termination to the extent and for so long as we require to deal with the closure of your Pay Portal and to comply with applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, Sections 5, 6 and 7 shall survive the termination of this agreement.

For Payout Schedule:


(i) Section 3.1: We will execute your Payout transactions by the end of the business day following the time of receipt of the relevant Payouts.


(ii) Section 5: We will notify you of any refusal of a Payout at the earliest opportunity and such notice will include the procedure for rectification of the reason for refusal if possible


(iii) Sections 6 & 7: Hyperwallet will ensure that the details of each transaction will be made available for you to view online for at least 13 months from when it is first made available. You must notify us without undue delay on becoming aware of any unauthorized, incorrectly executed Payout transaction or in the event that you think someone is using your security credentials without your permission without undue delay on becoming aware of the same and in any event no later than thirteen (13) months after the debit date. You are liable up to a maximum of £35 for any losses incurred in respect of an unauthorised Payout transaction except (1) where the loss, theft or misappropriation of a Payout instrument was not detectable by you prior to the Payout, except where the payer acted fraudulently; or (2) the loss was caused by acts or omissions of an employee, agent or branch of a payment service provider or of an entity which carried out activities on behalf of the payment service provider. You are liable for all losses incurred in respect of an unauthorised Payout transaction where you (1) acted fraudulently; or (2) failing with intent or gross negligence to comply with the terms of this agreement in relation to Payout instruments and personalised security credentials.

If the error results in you receiving more money than you were entitled to, Hyperwallet may debit the extra funds from your account. If a Payout was made to your account by way of mistake, Hyperwallet may correct the mistake by debiting or crediting (as the case may be) your appropriate Funding Source(s). If the error resulted in our not completing a transaction on time or in the correct amount, we will be liable to refund any amount as a result of carrying out a defective, late or non-executed Payout transaction and for your losses or damages directly and reasonably foreseeably caused by this failure, unless:


  1. through no fault of ours, you did not have enough available funds to complete the transaction,
  2. our system was not working properly and you knew about the breakdown when you started the transaction, or
  3. circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood or loss of Internet connection) prevented the transaction, despite our reasonable precautions.

Notwithstanding any other term of these Terms and Conditions, Hyperwallet will not be held liable for the non-execution or defective or late execution of a Payout transaction if you have failed to notify PayPal about the issue without undue delay after becoming aware of the issue or in any event within 13 months after the debit date of the Payout transaction.

For the purpose of the data protection regulations applicable in the EEA, UK and Brazil, the data controller is PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A, a duly licensed Luxembourg credit institution under Article 2 of the law of 5 April 1993 on the financial sector, as amended, and under the prudential supervision of the Luxembourg supervisory authority, the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier.


This Privacy Policy is designed to help You obtain information about our privacy practices and to help You understand Your privacy choices when You use our Sites and Services. Please note that our Service offerings may vary by region.


In this Privacy Policy, we sometimes refer to “You” or “Your.” “You” mostly refers to a Payee; however, “You” may also refer to a visitor to our Sites, a Payor, a third-party service provider, or an employee — all of whom are subject to this Privacy Policy.


The Sites and Services are operated by Hyperwallet for Payors or on behalf of Payors, respectively.


We have defined some terms that we use throughout the Privacy Policy. You can find the meaning of a capitalized term in the Definitions section.


Please contact us if You have questions about our privacy practices that are not addressed in this Privacy Policy.


II. What Personal Data Do We Collect?


The Hyperwallet Sites are where You can learn more about the Services.


We collect Personal Data about our business customers (each a “Payor”) and their designated payees (each a “Payee”) when they use the Sites or the Services.

VI. International Transfers


Our operations are supported by a network of computers, cloud-based servers, and other infrastructure and information technology, including, but not limited to, third-party service providers.


The third parties mentioned above may be established in jurisdictions other than your own. These countries do not always afford an equivalent level of privacy protection. We have taken specific steps, in accordance with data protection laws, to protect your Personal Data. In particular, for transfers of your EEA Personal Data within PayPal related companies, we rely on Binding Corporate Rules approved by competent Supervisory Authorities (available here). Other data transfers may be based on contractual protections. Please contact us for more information about this.


Please note that Hyperwallet may be required to disclose Personal Data if it is the subject of a lawful request by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.


VII. How do we use Cookies and Tracking Technologies?


When You use the Site or interact with the Services, we may use cookies and other tracking technologies (collectively, “Cookies”) to collect non-personal data. Cookies are small text files (typically made up of letters and numbers) placed in the memory of Your browser or device when You visit a website or view a message. Cookies allow a website to recognize a particular device or browser.


Our Cookies and similar technologies have different functions. We may use cookies or other technologies that are necessary to the operation of our Sites, Services, applications, and tools. This includes technologies that allow You access to our Sites, Services, applications, and tools; that are required to identify irregular site behavior, prevent fraudulent activity, facilitate transactions and improve security; or that allow You to make use of our functions. Certain aspects and features of our Services and Sites are only available through the use of Cookies, so if You choose to disable or decline Cookies through Your device or browser settings, Your use of the Sites and Services may be limited or not possible.


Where appropriate, security measures are set in place to prevent unauthorized access to our Cookies and similar technologies. A unique identifier ensures that only we and/or our authorized service providers have access to Cookie data.


Service providers are companies that help us with various aspects of our business, such as Site operations, Services, applications, advertisements and tools. We may use some authorized service providers to help us to serve You relevant ads on our Services and other places on the internet. These service providers may also place Cookies on Your device via our Services (third-party Cookies). They may also collect information that helps them identify Your device, such as IP-address or other unique device identifiers.


VIII. What Privacy Choices Are Available To You?


Choices Relating to the Personal Data We Collect


You have the right to access the personal data we maintain about You. You are entitled to one copy of information free of charge; however, we may charge a reasonable fee if Your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, particularly if it is repetitive.


In addition, You have the right to access and correct the data in certain instances, by logging into the Pay Portal or sending a detailed request to privacyofficer@hyperwallet.com; however, for security reasons, the best way to make a request is to do so while logged into the Pay Portal (Go to “Support,” select “Email” and complete the form for “Privacy Concerns”). Some of the Personal Data in Your profile may only be updated in Your Payor’s system. In such case, Your Payor may provide the information to us so that we may update Your profile in our systems. We reserve the right to charge a reasonable administrative fee where permitted by law.


Please note that if we do not collect or receive certain Personal Data from You, You may not be able to utilize the Services offered on the Sites or Service, including receipt of funds from the Payor.


Choices Relating to Cookies


You may have options available to manage Your cookies preferences. For example, Your browser or internet device may allow You to delete, disable, or block certain cookies and other tracking technologies. You can learn more by visiting AboutCookies.org. You may choose to enable these options but doing so may prevent You from using many of the core features and functions available on a Service or Site.

IX. How Do We Protect Your Personal Data?

The security measures include firewalls, data encryption, physical access controls to our data centers, and information access authorization controls. You should keep in mind that no Internet transmission is ever completely secure or error-free. In particular, e-mail sent between You and us may not be secure.

Banking Regulations Notice for Payors in the EEA and UK


This section applies to Payors who have relationships with PayPal Europe. In general, the Luxembourg laws to which PayPal’s handling of user data is subject (data protection and bank secrecy) require a higher degree of transparency than most other EU laws. This is why, unlike the vast majority of providers of internet-based services or financial services in the EU, PayPal has listed in this Privacy Policy the third-party service providers and business partners to whom we may disclose Your data, together with the purpose of disclosure and type of information disclosed. You will find a link to those third parties here. By acknowledging this Privacy Policy and maintaining an account with PayPal, You expressly consent to the transfer of Your data to those third parties for the purposes listed.


PayPal may update the list of third parties referred to above every quarter (January 1st, April 1st, July 1st and October 1st). PayPal will only start transferring any data to any of the new entities or for the new purposes or data types indicated in each update after 30 days from the date when that list is made public through this Privacy Policy. You should review the list each quarter on the PayPal website on the dates stated above. If You do not object to the new data disclosure, within 30 days after the publication of the updated list of third parties, You are deemed to have accepted the changes to the list and to this Privacy Policy. If You do not agree with the changes, You may close Your account and stop using our services.


In order to provide the PayPal Services, certain of the information we collect (as set out in this Privacy Policy) may be required to be transferred to other PayPal related companies or other entities, including those referred to in this section in their capacity as payment providers, payment processors or account holders (or similar capacities). You acknowledge that according to their local legislation, such entities may be subject to laws, regulations, inquiries, investigations, or orders which may require the disclosure of information to the relevant authorities of the relevant country. Your use of the PayPal Services constitutes Your consent to our transfer of such information to provide You the PayPal Services.


Specifically, You consent to and direct PayPal to do any and all of the following with Your information:


a) Disclose necessary information to: the police and other law enforcement agencies; security forces; competent governmental, intergovernmental or supranational bodies; competent agencies, departments, regulatory authorities, selfregulatory authorities or organizations (including, without limitation, the Agencies referenced in the “Agencies” section of the Third Party Provider List here) and other third parties, including PayPal Group companies, that (i) we are legally compelled and permitted to comply with, including but without limitation the Luxembourg laws of 24 July 2015 on the US Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA Law”) and 18 December 2015 on the OECD common reporting standard (“CRS Law”); (ii) we have reason to believe it is appropriate for us to cooperate with in investigations of fraud or other illegal activity or potential illegal activity, or (iii) to conduct investigations of violations of our User Agreement (including without limitation, Your funding source or credit or debit card provider).


If You are covered by the FATCA or CRS Law, we are required to give You notice of the information about You that we may transfer to various authorities. Please read more about PayPal’s obligations under the FATCA and CRS Law and how they could affect You as well as take note of the information we may disclose as result.


We and other organizations, including parties that accept PayPal, may also share, access and use (including from other countries) necessary information (including, without limitation the information recorded by fraud prevention agencies) to help us and them assess and to manage risk (including, without limitation, to prevent fraud, money laundering and terrorist financing). Please contact us if You want to receive further details of the relevant fraud prevention agencies. For more information on these Agencies, fraud prevention agencies and other third parties, click here.


b) Disclose Account Information to intellectual property right owners if under the applicable national law of an EU member state they have a claim against PayPal for an out-of-court information disclosure due to an infringement of their intellectual property rights for which PayPal Services have been used (for example, but without limitation, Sec. 19, para 2, sub-section 3 of the German Trademark Act or Sec. 101, para 2, sub-section 3 of the German Copyright Act).


c) Disclose necessary information in response to the requirements of the credit card associations or a civil or criminal legal process.


d) If You as a merchant use a third party to access or integrate PayPal, we may disclose to any such partner necessary information for the purpose of facilitating and maintaining such an arrangement (including, without limitation, the status of Your PayPal integration, whether You have an active PayPal account and whether You may already be working with a different PayPal integration partner).


e) Disclose necessary information to the payment processors, auditors, customer services providers, credit reference and fraud agencies, financial products providers, commercial partners, marketing and public relations companies, operational services providers, group companies, agencies, marketplaces and other third parties listed here. The purpose of this disclosure is to allow us to provide PayPal Services to You. We also set out in the list of third parties, under each ” Category”, non-exclusive examples of the actual third parties (which may include their assigns and successors) to whom we currently disclose Your Account Information or to whom we may consider disclosing Your Account Information, together with the purpose of doing so, and the actual information we disclose (except as explicitly stated, these third parties are limited by law or by contract from using the information for secondary purposes beyond the purposes for which the information was shared).


f) Disclose necessary information to Your agent or legal representative (such as the holder of a power of attorney that You grant, or a guardian appointed for You).


g) Disclose aggregated statistical data with our business partners or for public relations. For example, we may disclose that a specific percentage of our users live in Manchester. However, this aggregated information is not tied to personal information.


h) Share necessary Account Information with unaffiliated third parties (listed here) for their use for the following purposes:


  1. Fraud Prevention and Risk Management: to help prevent fraud or assess and manage risk. For example, if You use the PayPal Services to buy or sell goods using eBay Inc, or its affiliates (“eBay”), we may share Account Information with eBay in order to help protect Your accounts from fraudulent activity, alert You if we detect such fraudulent activity on Your accounts, or evaluate credit risk.
  2. As part of our fraud prevention and risk management efforts, we also may share necessary Account Information with eBay in cases where PayPal has placed a hold or other restriction on Your account based on disputes, claims, chargebacks or other scenarios regarding the sale or purchase of goods. Also, as part of our fraud prevention and risk management efforts, we may share Account Information with eBay to enable them to operate their programmes for evaluating buyers or sellers.
  3. Customer Service: for customer service purposes, including to help service Your accounts or resolve disputes (e.g., billing or transactional).
  4. Shipping: in connection with shipping and related services for purchases made using PayPal
  5. Legal Compliance: to help them comply with anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing verification requirements.
  6. Service Providers: to enable service providers under contract with us to support our business operations, such as fraud prevention, bill collection, marketing, customer service and technology services. Our contracts dictate that these service providers only use Your information in connection with the services they perform for us and not for their own benefit.
