RAPYD CHECKOUT USER TERMS OF SERVICE
These Rapyd Checkout User Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between Rapyd Financial Network (2016) Ltd, its subsidiaries and affiliates (together, “Rapyd” “we” or “us”) and you, the user of the Rapyd Checkout service (as defined below) (“you”). By using the Rapyd Checkout service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
1. General
The Rapyd Checkout service (“Rapyd Checkout”) is a technology that makes it easier for merchants (“Merchants”) to collect payments from individuals like you. Rapyd Checkout allows you to insert and store your payment credentials such as your card number, expiration date and CVV code (“Payment Credentials”) so that payments made through the Rapyd Checkout will be executed easily and securely. Please note that by using Rapyd Checkout you also acknowledge our Privacy Policy which forms part of these Terms.
2. Using Rapyd Checkout
When you check out on the website of a Merchant that has Rapyd Checkout enabled, we will collect and store certain personal data about you, such as your name, email address or your mobile phone number (“Rapyd Credentials”), along with your Payment Credentials. We also use cookies to link your web browser to your Rapyd Credentials and recognize when you return to the Rapyd Checkout. For information about data collected via cookies, please see our Cookie Policy.
3. Rapyd’s Role
Rapyd provides certain payment processing and electronic money services, and other related services for its Merchants through its licensed payment providers (“Partners”).
Rapyd Checkout allows you to make transactions by using our Partners. Please note that Rapyd Checkout is a stand-alone service and has no impact on your relationship with the Merchant you’re paying, your bank or credit card company. You are and will always be responsible for the purchases you make and for the information you upload using Rapyd Checkout on the Merchant’s site. The engagement between you and the Merchant, as well as any use of your data by the Merchant, is subject to the Merchant’s terms of use and privacy policy. Our role is only to execute the transaction and to charge you in accordance with these Terms.
4. Making Payments; Recurring Payments
We may, at our discretion, impose limits on the amount of payments you can make through Rapyd Checkout. By adding a debit card, a credit card or a bank account as your Payment Credentials, you are providing Rapyd with an authority to automatically charge you when using the Rapyd Checkout. This may include recurring payment when you subscribed for a certain subscription which requires subscription fees, including ‘free trials’ of any kind.
Please note that in some cases, tokenization of your card (storing your data in a digital asset form) may be subject to a minimal charge of your card which will be refunded immediately thereafter. In such cases, this will appear in your bank account.
Rapyd Checkout also provides a cash-in functionality for eligible customers at certain Point of Sale in certain countries (“Cash-In”). Users who are eligible for Cash-In may be subject to Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti Money Laundering checks and may be rejected depending on its results. If you use Cash-In, you can present codes to Point of Sale Partners and pay in cash. Partners will accept hard currency cash payments and Rapyd will cause such payments to be routed through Rapyd Checkout to pay the Merchants to which you are sending the funds as part of your purchase on the merchant’s site.
5. Refunds
When utilising the Rapyd Checkout product, you are purchasing items from the Merchant who has implemented it. Therefore, any refund will be subject to the Merchant’s refund policy and terms and conditions
- Chargebacks and Fees.
The Merchant is solely responsible for any chargebacks and fees. You will be required to lodge a chargeback request at your financial institution associated with your payment method.
7. Liability for invalidated payments
You agree to allow the Merchant to recover any amounts due to the Merchant by debiting your payment method. If there are insufficient funds in your balance to cover your liability, you must reimburse the Merchant through other means. If you file a request for Chargeback with your card issuer or financial institution, only the card issuer or financial institution will determine on such request.
8. Representations and Warranties
By using Rapyd Checkout you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years of age and that you will not use Rapyd Checkout for any fraudulent, unlawful or abusive purpose.
9. Disclaimers

In no event shall the Disclaiming Entities’ total cumulative liability arising from or relating to these Terms of Service exceed $10 US dollars. Each party acknowledges that the other party has entered into these Terms of Service relying on the limitations of liability stated herein and that those limitations are an essential basis of the agreement between the parties.
