- This document (the “Terms of Use” or “ToU”) contains the terms relevant to certain local payment methods (“Payment Methods”) that are sourced by MONEXT from suppliers of the Payment Methods.
- The Payment Method Terms of Use pertain to certain Payment Method specific requirements and obligations that are to be followed and/or implemented as applicable by entities (“Merchants”) that have entered into contracts (“Agreements”) with MONEXT in order to accept such Payment Methods.
- In interpreting these Terms of Use:
a. Capitalised words within these Terms of Use shall have the same meaning as provided for within the Agreement;
b. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the main body of these Terms of Use and the provisions of an Agreement, the main body of the Agreement will prevail;
c. References to any statute, statutory provision, subordinate legislation under the relevant statute, or European Union directive or regulation will include any statute, statutory provision, subordinate legislation, or European Union directive or regulation which amends or replaces it, or has amended or replaced it; and
d. Unless otherwise indicated, references to clauses and schedules within the ToU are references to the clauses and schedules of the Agreement. - Payment Methods are sourced by MONEXT from various Payment Scheme providers and therefore may be associated with diverse requirements. Not all Payment Methods have such additional requirements and these Terms of Use reflect the information communicated to MONEXT by the Payment Scheme providers.
- These ToU are subject to change and may be unilaterally modified or supplemented by MONEXT in its sole discretion at any time (a “Change”). Merchants will be notified of any such Changes per email and the Change will be effective and binding as of the date on which the email notice is distributed.
- Where such a Change can reasonably be considered to be of a material nature such that (i) the Change would have a detrimental impact on the quality of the services provided to the Merchant by MONEXT or (ii) the Merchant is likely to suffer significant economic loss as a result of the Change; the Merchant will have the right to terminate it’s access to and use of the specific Payment Method for which the Change is applicable without penalty.
- Should the Merchant elect to terminate its access and use of a Payment Method in accordance with section 6 above, it must provide written notice thereof to MONEXT within 30 days of the Change coming into effect. If MONEXT does not receive written notice of the Merchant’s intention to terminate its access and use of a particular Payment Method, MONEXT will be entitled to assume that the Merchant has accepted the Change.
- The addition of new Payment Methods to this ToU is explicitly excluded from being considered a Change and shall not infer or grant termination rights to the Merchant provided for under section 6.
- The following common provisions are applicable in relation to the Payment Methods listed in this document, in addition to any specific terms contained herein.
a. The Merchant is to follow MONEXT’s reasonable instructions when integrating a Payment Method in the manner prescribed, when designing the order process as well as its internet presence with regard to the Payment Methods. For this purpose MONEXT will provide the Merchant the Monext online application program interface (”API”) documentation. The system requirements applicable to the Monext online API and the technical specifications are described within the Monext online API documentation.
b. Offering Payment Methods to an end Customer by means of a link sent to such end Customer by email or similar is strictly not permitted.
c. For Payment Methods that involve the re-direction of the Customer to his online banking page (“Redirect Payment Methods”) the Customer must recognize this via the display of the bank’s URL in the address line of the browser and visibility of the relevant security certificate. In particular with regard to Redirect Payment Methods, the Merchant may not use any i-frames when integrating the Payment Method within the payment process. The parties understand the term “i-frame” to designate a technology by means of which a HTML document is embedded inside another HTML document on a website of the Merchant whereby an Customer may be led to believe the contents are those of a third party rather than the Merchant.
d. The Merchant acknowledges that the execution of a payment Transaction via individual Payment Methods and the possibility of a Customer to cancel or revoke a payment Transaction are subject to the terms and conditions of the respective bank with which the Customer holds an account over which MONEXT has no influence or control. The Merchant accepts that such general terms and conditions of corresponding banks are subject to change at any time and that such changes may impact the execution or fulfillment of Transactions.
e. It is not permitted for Redirect Payment Methods to be used for the purposes of verifying the identity or age of Customers without obtaining MONEXT’s express written permission beforehand. Failure to comply with the foregoing will incur a penalty of EUR 10.00 per Transaction and will be deducted from any settlement funds owing the Merchant. MONEXT reserves the right to claim damages associated with a violation of this requirement should any arise and will notify the Merchant thereof.
f. The Merchant is not permitted to provide the Monext online API to third parties for their use.
g. The Merchant undertakes that it will treat the respective Payment Methods equally to each other and to other payment modes in their online selections, in particular with respect to advertising, marketing or promoting such Payment Methods in a manner that could not reasonably be held to unfairly position or disadvantage one Payment Method from another based on the display of marks or other branding. The respective Payment Methods must be separately listed.
h. The Merchant undertakes that it will cooperate with requests by MONEXT for information in specific situations that require further investigation in relation to a Payment Method as may be notified by MONEXT to the Merchant from time to time.
