ACCOUNT HOLDERS (Payee/Recipients/Merchants)
About our Terms of Service
Welcome to JUSTPAYTO. We developed a money transfer service (the “JUSTPAYTO Payments”) to make it easy for you to accept credit and debit card payments, bank-to-bank fund transfer, over-the-counter cash deposits online from your family, friends, and customers so you can focus on your own product or service.
We have tried to draft these Recipient Terms of Service to be readable, but should you have any questions or concerns or would simply like to better understand how we do things at JUSTPAYTO, please do not hesitate to contact us at info JUSTPAYTO. Below is a quick description of the sections in this Agreement, but there are important details in the whole document, so you should read it.
The JUSTPAYTO Services
We provide you with software and service to process your online payments; we will respect and protect your privacy, data and personal information. You run your business, service customer, protect customer’ data, report & pay taxes, and observe all laws, rules, and regulations. JUSTPAYTO may offer other services to you that may be subject to additional or different terms.
Registering for JUSTPAYTO
To create a JUSTPAYTO Account, you need to provide us with a unique username and basic information. Your username will be your personalized “payment address”, your JUSTPAYTO URL. You provide us with basic information about you; we will seek to verify your information (we may work with banks or third parties to do so) and approve your account unless deemed risky (by us, the banks, or our payment processors). You give us permission to do all this, and to periodically update the information or we otherwise must decline to offer JUSTPAYTO Services to you. There are some prohibited activities for which you may not use the JUSTPAYTO Services.
Each JUSTPAYTO Account corresponds to a depository account and is non-transferrable. You can have multiple JUSTPAYTO Accounts for several depository accounts; however, usernames cannot be the same. Receiving your Funds from Transactions Funds from your transactions (minus our fees) are paid to you at a schedule communicated to you once your JUSTPAYTO Account is approved. Initial payouts for your transactions are typically sent to your nominated deposit account (ie. bank account) within 1-7 days. A certain amount of your funds may be subject to an additional hold period (e.g. Daily Deposit Limit, Escrow) with terms determined by your membership account and/or sender payment options. You are responsible for refunds, returns, and liable for customer disputes (chargebacks).
Chargebacks and Refunds
For valid chargebacks and refunds, we have authority to debit your depository account for the charges and corresponding fees.
Termination and Other Legal Terms
We can terminate this agreement at any time (especially if you do something bad). You can also terminate your account anytime. Termination is effective immediately. Termination does not alter your liability for processed payments or related chargebacks.
JUSTPAYTO Terms of Service
The Terms and Conditions described here constitute a legal agreement (“Agreement”) between an individual, the sole proprietor or business organization listed as the “Recipient” on the service registration page (sometimes referred to as “you,” “your”, “user”), JUSTPAYTO Philippines Corporation (“JUSTPAYTO”), and the Banks (“the banks”, collectively with JUSTPAYTO referred to as “we”, “our” or “us”).
Section A: JUSTPAYTO Services
1. Our Role
JUSTPAYTO Payments helps you accept and process credit card, debit card and other types of payments (collectively “Payments”) from your senders who want to pay you for products or services or transfer money. JUSTPAYTO’s card processing service supports PH-issued card and most non-PH issued Payments with a Visa, MasterCard logo (collectively “the Card Networks”) including credit, debit, and pre-paid. JUSTPAYTO is not a bank or a money services business (“MSB”) and JUSTPAYTO does not offer banking or MSB services as defined by the Banko Sentral ng Pilipinas. In addition, we do not assume any liability for the products or services purchased using JUSTPAYTO Payments. You will be required to register with JUSTPAYTO to use JUSTPAYTO Payments (see Registering for JUSTPAYTO).
2. JUSTPAYTO Payments
We provide a Personal Payment Page, an API and other software to enable you to use JUSTPAYTO Payments. We reserve the right to require you install or update any and all software updates to continue using JUSTPAYTO Payments. JUSTPAYTO Payments includes software that manages your recurring payments on our subscription service. JUSTPAYTO Payments also includes software to help you manage recurring and subscription billing charges for your products and services. It is your responsibility to obtain your senders’ consent to be billed on a recurring basis in compliance with applicable legal requirements and Card Network payment rules.
3. Authorization for Handling of Funds
By accepting this agreement, you authorize us to receive and disburse funds on your behalf when such funds from your transactions (credit card, debit card, fund transfer, over-the-counter) settle from the Card Networks, Banks, and Affiliates. You further authorize JUSTPAYTO to instruct related services on how your transaction settlement funds should be disbursed to you (deposit on your bank account, conversion to virtual currency, payment for bills, etc) and the timing of such disbursements. Settlement funds will be held in a deposit account at the banks pending disbursement of the funds to you in accordance with the terms of this contract. You agree that you are not entitled to any interest or other compensation associated with the settlement funds held by the banks pending settlement to your designated settlement account, that you have no right to direct that deposit account, and that you may not assign any interest in the deposit account at the banks. We may periodically make available to you information in the JUSTPAYTO dashboard regarding anticipated settlement amounts received on your behalf from the Partner Networks and are being held pending settlement. This settlement information does not constitute a deposit or other obligation of JUSTPAYTO or the banks to you. This settlement information reflected in the JUSTPAYTO dashboard is for reporting and informational purposes only, and you are not entitled to and have no ownership or other rights in settlement funds until such funds are credited to your designated settlement account. Your authorizations set forth herein will remain in full force and effect until your JUSTPAYTO Account is closed or terminated.
4. Payment Methods
You may only process payments when authorized to do so by your customer (sender). JUSTPAYTO will only process transactions that have been authorized by the applicable Partner Network, bank, or card issuer.
You are solely responsible for verifying the identity of your senders, ensuring that they have authorized the transaction, and determining their eligibility to purchase your products and services. JUSTPAYTO does not guarantee or assume any liability for transactions authorized and completed that are later reversed or charged back (see Chargebacks below). You are solely responsible for all reversed or charged back transactions, regardless of the reason for, or timing of, the reversal or chargeback. JUSTPAYTO may add or remove one or more payment types or networks at any time. If we do so we will use reasonable efforts to give you prior notice of the removal.
5. Customer Service
We will provide you with customer service to resolve issues relating to your JUSTPAYTO Account, use of the JUSTPAYTO Services, and the distribution of funds to your nominated settlement account. You and you alone are responsible for providing service to your senders for any and all issues related to your products and services, including but not limited to issues arising from the processing of your senders’ money transfer through JUSTPAYTO Payments.
6. Taxes
It is your responsibility to determine what, if any, taxes apply to the sale of your products and services and/or the payments you receive in connection with your use of JUSTPAYTO Services (“Taxes”). It is solely your responsibility to assess, collect, report, or remit the correct tax to the proper tax authority. We are not obligated to, nor will we determine whether Taxes apply, or calculate, collect, report, or remit any Taxes to any tax authority arising from any transaction.

Section C: Processing Card Transactions, Receiving Your Funds, and Fees
1. Processing Card Transactions
As used in this agreement, a “chargeback” is a request that your customer files directly with an issuing bank to reverse or invalidate a processed payment, and a “refund” means a reversal of a charge, in whole or in part, that you initiate. “claim” means a challenge to a payment that you or buyer customer files directly with JUSTPAYTO. “reversal” means JUSTPAYTO reverses the settlement of funds from a processed card transaction that you received because (a) the card transaction is invalidated by the card issuer for any reason, (b) the settlement funds were sent to you, in error for any reason, (c) the sender of the payment did not have the authorization to send the payment (for example, the purchaser used a card that did not belong to him or her), (d) you received the payment for activities that violated this agreement or any other agreement you have with JUSTPAYTO, or (e) we decided a claim against you.
You agree that you will honor all eligible transactions presented for payment by your senders for your products and services in accordance with the network rules, this agreement and any operating guides that we may provide you from time to time. You acknowledge that the existence of an affirmative authorization from us or the card networks does not mean that a particular card transaction won’t result in a chargeback, reversal or claim at some later date. While you may charge fees for your products or services, you may not impose any fee or surcharge for payment processing on a customer that seeks to use an eligible payment card or misrepresent fees charged for payment processing. You will provide a receipt to the customer at the conclusion of the purchase transaction that includes all information required undercard network rules and applicable law.
2. Payouts and Transaction History
We will pay out funds settling from the Card Networks to your designated bank or settlement account (“Depository account”) you provide when registering your JUSTPAYTO Account. Funds will be settled in the Depository account in the amounts actually received (less our Fees, as defined below) for transactions processed by JUSTPAYTO Payments. You are responsible for the accuracy and correctness of information regarding your Depository account, including inputting the correct information as part of registering or updating your Depository account. The actual the timing of the transfers to your Depository account of the settling funds will be subject to the Payout Schedule (as defined below).
After the transfer of funds is initiated to your Depository account, we will update information in your JUSTPAYTO Account to reflect settlement. Information regarding your transactions that are processed and settled using JUSTPAYTO Payments (“Transaction History”) will be available to you when you log in to your JUSTPAYTO Account. While will provide Transaction History in your JUSTPAYTO Account, you are solely responsible for compiling and retaining permanent records of all transactions and other data associated with your JUSTPAYTO Account as may be required for your business. JUSTPAYTO is not obliged for maintaining Transaction History or other records in a manner consistent with your record retention obligations and may change the duration of the Transaction History at any time, but will always maintain the previous 18 months’ transactions.
3. Payout Schedule
“Payout Schedule” refers to the time it takes for us to initiate a transfer to your designated deposit account of settlement funds arising from transactions processed through JUSTPAYTO payments. Once your nominated deposit account (ie. Bank Account) information has been reviewed, JUSTPAYTO will initiate transfer of settlement funds (net of fees, chargebacks, and other funds owed to us for any reason) in accordance with the payout schedule, the terms of which will be made available to you when you login to your JUSTPAYTO dashboard. The settlement funds should normally be credited to your nominated deposit account within 1-7days of us initiating the payout. The initial transfer to your nominated deposit account may be delayed review of your account. We are not responsible for any action taken by the financial institution holding your nominated deposit account that may result in some or all of the funds not being credited to your nominated deposit account or not being made available to you. You can contact us at any time to inquire about changing the timing of your payout schedule and will be informed of the process and requirements for JUSTPAYTO to review your payout schedule.
We reserve the right to change the Payout Schedule, suspend payouts to your nominated deposit Account, or initiate a Reversal should we determine it is necessary due to pending disputes, excessive or anticipated excessive Chargebacks or Refunds, or other suspicious activity associated with your use of JUSTPAYTO Payments, or if required by law or court order.
4. Reconciliations and Errors
Transaction history will be available to you when you log in to the JUSTPAYTO dashboard. You are responsible for reconciling your transaction history with your actual transactions and agree to notify us of any errors or discrepancies in your transaction history (each an “error”) arising from such reconciliation and verification. We will investigate reported errors and attempt to rectify any errors that you or we discover. In the event, you are owed money as a result of an error, please contact us immediately. While we may still work with you to reconcile errors, your failure to notify us such errors within 60 days of when it first appears on your transaction history will be deemed a waiver of any right to amounts that may be owed to you in connection with any such error, including any related charges.
5. Refunds and Returns
Full Refunds must be for the exact amount of the original transaction including tax, handling charges, and others. The Refund amount may not exceed the original sale amount except by an amount equal to any reimbursements to the customer for postage costs incurred for product returns. You will use best efforts to process all Refunds within 60 days after the original transaction date, and you acknowledge that Refunds processed after that time may not be capable of being processed.
JUSTPAYTO will deduct the refund amount (including any applicable fees) from settlement funds owed to you from the processing of other transactions. Where these funds are not sufficient, you authorize JUSTPAYTO to (through its participating banks) initiate a debit entry to your depository account (ie. Bank account) in the amount necessary to complete the refund transaction to the cardholder’s card. In the event JUSTPAYTO cannot debit your depository account, you agree to pay all funds owed to JUSTPAYTO immediately upon demand. You are solely responsible for accepting and processing returns of your products and services. We have no responsibility or the obligation for processing such returns, or for responding to your senders’ inquiries about such returns.
6. Chargebacks
A Chargeback is typically caused when a customer disputes a charge that appears on their bill. A Chargeback may result in the reversal of a transaction where you are immediately liable for the amount of the transaction. You can be assessed Chargebacks for (i) customer disputes; (ii) unauthorized or improperly authorized transactions; (iii) transactions that do not comply with Network Rules or the terms of this Agreement or are allegedly unlawful or suspicious; or (iv) any reversals for any reason by the Card Network, our processor, or the acquiring or issuing banks. When a Chargeback is issued, you are immediately liable to JUSTPAYTO for the full amount of the transaction related to the Chargeback plus any associated Fees, fines, expenses or penalties (including those assessed by the Card Networks or our payment processors).
You agree that JUSTPAYTO may recover these amounts by debiting your depository account (bank account, virtual wallet, etc.), or setting off any amounts owed to you by us. This is done automatically, through our partnership agreement with the financial institution (bank, non-bank) where your depository account resides.
If we are unable to recover funds related to a Chargeback for which you are liable, you will pay us the full amount of the Chargeback immediately upon demand. Where such amounts are not immediately paid to us, you agree to pay all costs and expenses, including without limitation attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses, incurred by or on behalf of us in connection with the collection of any unpaid Chargebacks unpaid by you.
If we reasonably believe that a Chargeback is likely with respect to any transaction, we may withhold the amount of the potential Chargeback from payments otherwise due to you under this Agreement until such time that: (a) a Chargeback is assessed due to a customer’s complaint, in which case we will retain the funds; (b) the period of time under applicable law or regulation by which the customer may dispute that the transaction has expired, or (c) we determine that a Chargeback on the transaction will not occur.
7. Contesting your Chargebacks
You or JUSTPAYTO may elect to contest Chargebacks assessed against you. JUSTPAYTO may provide you with assistance including notifications and support to help contest your Chargebacks, but we do not assume any liability for our role or assistance in contesting Chargebacks.
You agree to provide us with the necessary information, in a timely manner, and at your expense, to investigate or help resolve any Chargeback. You also grant us permission to share records or other information required with financial institutions and Card Networks to help resolve any disputes. You acknowledge that your failure to provide us with complete and accurate information in a timely manner may result in an irreversible Chargeback being assessed.
If the Chargeback is not resolved in your favor, we may recover the Chargeback amount and any associated fees from you. We reserve the right, upon notice to you, to charge a fee for mediating or investigating Chargeback disputes.
8. Excessive Chargebacks
At any point, JUSTPAYTO, The banks, the Card Networks, or our payment processors may determine that you are incurring excessive Chargebacks. Excessive Chargebacks may result in additional fees, penalties, or fines. Excessive Chargebacks may also result in (a) additional controls and restrictions put on your use of JUSTPAYTO Payments, including without limitation, (i) increases to your applicable Fees, or (ii) delays in your Payout Schedule; or (b) possible suspension or termination of your JUSTPAYTO Account and access to the JUSTPAYTO Services. The Card Networks may also place additional controls or restrictions as part of their own monitoring programs for Recipients with excessive Chargebacks.
9. JUSTPAYTO Fees
You agree to pay all fees assessed by us to you for providing the JUSTPAYTO Services described in this Agreement (“Fees”). Except as otherwise stated in writing by JUSTPAYTO, these fees will be calculated pursuant to the Fee Schedule linked to here and incorporated into this Agreement by reference.

10.Our Collection Rights
To the extent permitted by law, we may collect any obligations you owe us under this Agreement by deducting the corresponding amounts from your Depository account or from funds payable to you arising from the settlement of transactions, including funds from another one or your JUSTPAYTO Accounts. Fees will be assessed at the time a transaction is processed and will be first deducted from the funds received for such transactions. If the settlement amounts are not sufficient to meet your obligations to us, we may debit your Depository account registered in your JUSTPAYTO Accounts for any amounts owed to us. Your failure to fully pay amounts that you owe us on demand is a material breach of this Agreement and you will be liable for our costs associated with the collection in addition to the amount owed, including without limitation attorneys’ fees and expenses, costs of any arbitration or court proceeding, collection agency fees, and any applicable interest.
11.Depository Account
In certain circumstances, we may determine that your depository account (bank account, virtual wallet, etc.) is necessary to provide the JUSTPAYTO services to you.
