Tap-Pay

Merchant Terms

These draft merchant-specific terms supplement the Tap-Pay Terms of Service and provider requirements.

Effective date: [CLIENT-APPROVED EFFECTIVE DATE]

1. Application and approval

A merchant must submit complete and accurate information, pass required verification, and remain approved by Tap-Pay and applicable payment providers. Approval may be reviewed, limited, suspended, or withdrawn.

2. Merchant responsibilities

Merchants must protect credentials, authorize only trained users, display correct transaction details, deliver promised goods or services, issue valid receipts, and comply with consumer, privacy, anti-fraud, and payment-network rules.

3. QR codes and payment links

Each QR code or payment link may be used only for the stated merchant, amount, purpose, and validity period. Merchants must verify the server-confirmed transaction status before treating a payment as final.

4. Settlement and reserves

Settlement timing, cutoffs, deductions, holds, and reserves follow [CLIENT-APPROVED SETTLEMENT SCHEDULE]. Provider checks, disputes, holidays, or compliance reviews may delay settlement.

5. Refunds, reversals, and disputes

Merchant obligations, response deadlines, required evidence, chargeback liability, and refund procedures are defined in [CLIENT-APPROVED MERCHANT DISPUTE POLICY].

6. Fees and taxes

Fees are set out in [CLIENT-APPROVED MERCHANT FEE SCHEDULE]. Merchants are responsible for applicable taxes, registrations, permits, and reporting obligations.

7. Devices, NFC, and SDK access

NFC or Tap-to-Pay functionality requires separately approved provider SDK access, compatible devices, certifications, and commercial terms. The dashboard label alone does not authorize live card acceptance.

8. Suspension and termination

Access may be suspended for security, fraud, prohibited activity, provider direction, non-payment, legal requirements, or material breach. Final notice, cure, and termination rules require client and legal approval.
