PART 1 – Access to and use of the payment service

1. Registration

To access and use the Payment Service, you must create a Zettle Account as described in section 1 of the General Terms and Conditions.

For the purposes of these Payment Terms and Conditions, "PayPal Account" shall mean the PayPal business account opened pursuant to the PayPal User Agreement.

As at the date of your acceptance of these Payment Terms and Conditions, you will fall under one of the categories of Merchants set out in subsections (a) to (c) below. These subsections set out the authorisation(s) you will need to grant us to transfer funds credited from your Zettle Account to your Bank Account or PayPal Account (as the case may be).

a) Fully Merged Merchant

If at the time you sign up to the Payment Service you create a Zettle Account and authorise and instruct us to merge it with your existing or new PayPal Account, you will have a fully merged PayPal Account and Zettle Account ("Fully Merged Merchant"). As a Fully Merged Merchant you authorise and instruct us to initiate payment of all funds credited to your Zettle Account to your PayPal Account. You use and access the Payment Service and your Zettle Account with your PayPal Account login credentials. When you log into your Zettle Account, you see the balance of your PayPal Account.

b) Connected Merchant

If you have a PayPal Account and you separately create a Zettle Account which you authorise and instruct us to connect to your PayPal Account, your PayPal Account and Zettle Account are connected ("Connected Merchant"). As a Connected Merchant, you accept that any payout of funds from your Zettle Account will be made to your PayPal Account. When you log into your Zettle Account, you see the balance of your Zettle Account.

c) Zettle-only Merchant

If you use only the Payment Service and do not have a PayPal Account, you have a standalone Zettle Account ("Zettle-only Merchant"). In order to receive funds from your Zettle Account, you must designate and, if we so request, verify a bank account held in your name in a bank in the United Kingdom ("Bank Account"). After designating a Bank Account, you authorise and instruct us to initiate payment of funds credited to your Zettle Account to your Bank Account. You authorise us to direct questions to and obtain information from the relevant bank, including for the purpose of verifying your designated Bank Account. You agree, upon our request, to take all reasonable measures to assist us in verifying your Bank Account. If your designated Bank Account details are incorrect or incomplete or if we for any reason cannot verify that the bank account is held in your name, we may de-connect the Bank Account from your Zettle Account, and you confirm and agree that we will not be under any obligation to pay any funds to you until such time you have provided correct and complete Bank Account information and we, as applicable, have been able to verify that you are the holder of the Bank Account.

2. Underwriting

By signing up for the Payment Service, you instruct and authorise us to perform credit checks, sanction controls and other verifications which may require that you supply such additional information and documentation as is reasonably required for us to verify your identity and fulfil all our anti-money laundering, counter terrorist financing and other regulatory obligations. We may perform additional credit checks and verifications from time to time to determine whether you continue to be eligible for access to and use of the Payment Service. We may also request your permission to do a physical inspection at your place of business and to examine your books and records that pertain to your compliance with these Payment Terms and Conditions. You agree to comply with any such requests without undue delay. You authorise our Acquirers and us to, from time to time, retrieve information about you from, and provide information about you to, third parties, including credit reporting agencies or bureaus and other information providers, and you authorise and instruct such third parties to compile and provide such information to us.

We reserve the right to suspend your access to and use of the Payment Service and to terminate and close your Zettle Account and your PayPal Account if we determine that you are no longer eligible for access to and use of the Payment Service or if you fail to promptly comply with any requests from us in accordance with the above.

3. Our role

The Payment Service will enable you to accept and process payments from your customers (i) by Card or their smartphone, tablet or other compatible mobile device enabling them to make contactless smartphone/device transactions through the use of the App installed a) on your smartphone, tablet or other compatible mobile device connected to your Zettle Reader, b) on a compatible mobile device enabling you to take contactless payments directly in the App (the "Tap on Phone Service"), or c) directly on a Zettle Reader enabling you to take contactless payments,

(ii) when your customers pay an invoice online using a Card or any other online payment method made available by us in your jurisdiction (the "Invoicing Service"), (iii) when your customers pay for your products and/or services through a payment link provided to your customer by email, text message or similar communication tool, and (iv) by redeeming gift cards issued by you using our gift card service (the "Zettle Gift Card Service").

If you have signed up for a service enabling you to sell products and/or services online, and such service has the requisite integrations with our Payment Service, you may also be able to accept and process payments from your customers who will be able to pay online using a Card or such online payment method made available by us in your jurisdiction.

These payment alternatives as well as the functionalities set out in section 12 may not be available in your country. For more information, please visit our Website.

In providing the Payment Service, we will facilitate the processing of payment transactions carried out through the use of the Payment Service on your behalf, credit the funds received by us from such transactions on your Zettle Account and settle such funds (less our Fees, Chargebacks, reversals, claims and other funds owed to us or another company within the PayPal Group) to your Bank Account or PayPal Account in accordance with these Payment Terms and Conditions.

You authorise and instruct us to receive, hold and disburse funds in accordance with these Payment Terms and Conditions on your behalf. This authorisation and instruction will remain in full force and effect until your Zettle Account is closed or terminated.

4. Card scheme rules and specific terms

The Payment Service is subject to the Card Scheme Rules and may also be subject to specific terms and conditions which apply to the use of certain payment methods ("Specific Terms") provided by us or a third party (a "Third Party Payment Provider"). The Card Scheme Rules applicable to merchants and the Specific Terms relating to the payment methods you have signed up for will form part of your agreement with us. Further information on the Card Scheme Rules and the Specific Terms can be found here.

You agree that you will comply with the Card Scheme Rules and the Specific Terms and that the Card Scheme Rules and the Specific Terms have precedence over these Payment Terms and Conditions with regards to the relevant payment method and that, in case of any conflict between a provision in these Payment Terms and Conditions and the Card Scheme Rules/the Specific Terms, the following order of priority will apply: (i) the Card Scheme Rules, (ii) the Specific Terms and (iii) the Payment Terms and Conditions.

We may add, delete and amend certain payment methods at any time and the Card Scheme Rules and the Specific Terms may also be amended from time to time in accordance with the relevant

terms and conditions. Such change can be made unilaterally by us, the Card Scheme Rules administrators, or the Third Party Payment Providers without notice but we will try to inform you in advance. Your continuing use of such payment method constitutes your consent and agreement to such additions, deletions or amendments. For the avoidance of doubt, if you use the payment method provided by Klarna, we have the right to acquire and re-transfer to Klarna any claims against your customer resulting from your sale of goods or services to said customer, as further described in the Specific Terms.

We reserve the right to amend these Payment Terms and Conditions in accordance with section 23 of the General Terms and Conditions, or a shorter time if so required by the Card Schemes or a Third Party Payment Provider, as necessary to comply with the Card Scheme Rules or otherwise address changes in the Payment Service.

5. Zettle reader

To use the Payment Service for sales from a physical sales location, you must download and install the App and, unless you are solely using the Tap on Phone Service, obtain one of our compatible card reader devices ("Zettle Reader").

Information about available Zettle Readers and how they can be purchased can be found on our Website. You may also purchase Zettle Readers from our Accessories Store or from other authorised retailers.

You are also responsible to contact us if you suspect that your Zettle Reader has been tampered with or stolen.

Our Acquirers and the Card Schemes may from time to time impose certain limits on Merchants' annual Card transaction volume through the use of the Payment Service. If your annual Card transaction volume exceeds the amount specified by the Card Schemes Rules, you will need to enter into additional agreements directly with our Acquirers ("Commercial Entity Agreements"). By accepting these Payment Terms, you accept that, upon reaching these thresholds, the Commercial Entity Agreement(s) will automatically apply between you, us and the relevant Acquirer, respectively. You can find the agreements here. In the absence of relevant Commercial Entity Agreement(s), we will not be able to accept transactions in excess of these thresholds.

You may not use the Payment Service to carry out Card transactions with your own Cards or any Cards that are issued in your name.

You may not in any way refer to us, our Acquirers or the Card Schemes as having endorsed your products and/or services.

The use of the Payment Service is subject to certain limits relating to daily Card transaction volume as further specified on our Website.

7. Errors and unauthorised or illegal use

We will assume that you are the sender of any transactions and other instructions to us when sent using your Account Credentials. You must notify us immediately through our Website or by contacting our customer success team at support.uk@zettle.com if you discover or have reason to believe that there has been an error or unauthorised or illegal use of your Zettle Account and, where possible, change your Account Credentials to prevent any further errors and/or unauthorised or illegal use. You must provide us all information and documentation in your possession as to the circumstances of any such error and/or unauthorised or illegal use of your Zettle Account and take all reasonable steps requested by us to assist in our investigation.

8. Accepted cards

The Payment Service can be used to accept card transactions with most credit, debit and other types of cards (each a "Card") bearing the trademarks of the Card Schemes as further specified on our Website. We may remove or add Cards that we accept at any time without prior notice to you. We will only process Card transactions that have been authorised by the applicable Card Scheme or Card issuer, as the case may be.

You agree that you are solely responsible for verifying the identity of your customers and the eligibility of each presented Card used to purchase your products and services and for all reversed or charged back transactions, regardless of the reason for, or timing of, the reversal or chargeback as further described in section 17.

You undertake to inform your customers of the possibility to pay by Card by displaying signage for all Card options provided by us as possible payment methods in your physical store or online.

9. Fees

For the use of the Payment Service you agree to pay the fees ("Fees") assessed and calculated by us in accordance with the fee schedule available either (i) on the Zettle.com Website if you are either a Connected Merchant or Zettle-only Merchant or (ii) on the PayPal.com Website if you are a Fully Merged Merchant.

By accepting these Payment Terms and Conditions, you request and agree that we charge you the Fees (as a blended merchant service charge) assessed and calculated by us in accordance with the Fee schedule.

10. Taxes

In addition to what is set out in section 10 of the General Terms and Conditions, you agree that we may from time to time be required to report to revenue or tax authorities, as required by law, your name, address and information regarding transactions processed by us on your behalf through your use of the Payment Service.

11. Processing of payment transactions

You must comply with any and all instructions provided by us to you regarding the acceptance and authorisation of payment transactions, including those available on our Website. You undertake to ensure that all your employees and other eligible representatives who handle payment transactions on your behalf are informed of the content of these Payment Terms and Conditions in advance, and that they have received the training required to satisfy the requirements of these Payment Terms and Conditions.

When a payment transaction is made, we will update the transaction information in your Zettle Account confirming that the transaction has taken place and setting out the details of the transaction as further described in section 15.

You must provide customers with a receipt if they request one. Customers may receive an electronic receipt via email or SMS, rather than a paper receipt. It is your responsibility to inform your customer that you will use the App to send them a receipt via email or SMS before doing so.

An authorised payment transaction may not be withdrawn by you or your customer after the end of the day on which your customer authorised the transaction.

You agree that you will not provide any false or misleading descriptions of any payment transaction that you submit through the Payment Service and that the descriptions given within itemised transactions will be an accurate and true description of the products and/or services being purchased.

We reserve the right not to authorise or process any payment transaction that you submit through the Payment Service that we believe may be in violation of the General Terms and Conditions, the Payment Terms and Conditions or any applicable laws, rules or regulations or that may expose you or us to harm, including but not limited to fraud or other criminal acts. You authorise us to share information with law enforcement about you, your transactions, or your use of the Payment Service if we reasonably suspect that your Zettle Account has been used for unauthorised, illegal, or criminal purposes.

12. Processing card transactions

You may use the Payment Service to process card-present transactions (i.e. transactions where both the Card and the customer are present at the time of the transaction) by inserting the Card into the Zettle Reader or swiping the Card and obtaining the customer's PIN or obtaining the customer's signature. The App will prompt you as to what verification is necessary, based on a customer's Card. If a customer's Card includes an electronic chip, you must always prioritise obtaining chip and PIN authorisation before obtaining a signature.

Subject to availability in your country, if you are a Full Merged Merchant, you may also use the Payment Service to process transactions where neither the customer nor the Card are present at the time of transaction and you manually key in the card number, expiration date, security code, and other required information via the App ("Manual Card Entry"). You are not permitted to process Manual Card Entry transactions when your customer's Card is present. To be eligible to process Manual Card Entry transactions, you must be a Fully Merged Merchant and have successfully completed a Card transaction through a Zettle Reader. To enable the use of Manual Card Entry, you must follow the instructions and comply with any requirements, in each case as determined by us, an Acquirer, or a Card Scheme. There are specific Fees associated with processing Manual Card Entry transactions, as set forth on the PayPal.com Website.

You may use the Payment Service to process contactless transactions (i.e. transactions made using the contactless induction technology in a Zettle Reader or a compatible mobile device supporting contactless transactions made by Card or smartphone/device transaction using near field communication technology or QR codes), however you may not process a contactless transaction with a value exceeding the prevailing amount limit for that transaction set by an Acquirer, a Card Scheme and/or us from time to time, as set out on our Website.

13. Refunds and returns

You must submit all requests for refunds and adjustments for returns of your products or services through the Payment Service in accordance with these Payment Terms and Conditions and the applicable Card Scheme Rules. All refunds and adjustments related to Card transactions must be made to the customer's Card. You undertake to: a) maintain a fair return, cancellation or adjustment policy, b) disclose your return or cancellation policy to customers at the time of purchase, c) not give cash refunds to a customer in connection with a Card transaction, unless required by law, and d) not accept cash or any other item of value for preparing a Card transaction refund.

Full refunds must be for the exact amount of the original transaction including tax and handling charges. 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. Refunds processed through the Payment Service must be submitted within thirty days of the original transaction. How the refund is processed through the Payment Service depends on which group of Merchants you belong to in accordance with section 1 above:

If you are a Zettle-only Merchant or a Connected Merchant, for approved refunds, we will deduct the refund amount (including any applicable fees) from funds owed to you from the processing of other transactions, or funds credited to your Zettle Account. If these funds are insufficient, you understand and agree that we are not obligated to process the refunds. If we do process such refunds and it results in a negative balance to your Zettle Account, you agree to pay all funds owed to us immediately on demand. Through the Zettle Account settings, you may select and instruct us to maintain funds on your Zettle Account specifically for funding refunds or to expedite execution of refunds.
If you are a Fully Merged Merchant, for approved refunds, we will deduct the refund amount (including any applicable fees) from funds owed to you from processing of other transactions, or funds on your PayPal Account. If these funds are not sufficient, you understand and agree that we are not obligated to process the refunds. If we do process such refunds and it results in a negative balance on your PayPal Account, you agree to pay all funds owed to us immediately on demand and any applicable process described in the PayPal User Agreement may be enacted.

You are solely responsible for accepting and processing returns of your products or services.

14. Payout of funds

You will receive funds either to your PayPal Account or Bank Account (your "Designated Account") depending on the group of Merchants you fall in as described in section 1 above:

If you are a Fully Merged Merchant, funds from a payment transaction credited to your Zettle Account will be paid out to your PayPal Account per transaction.
If you are a Connected Merchant, funds from a payment transaction will be credited to your Zettle Account and then paid out to your PayPal Account daily.
If you are a Zettle-only Merchant, funds from a payment transaction credited to your Zettle Account will be paid out to your Bank Account. Through the Zettle Account settings, you may select the frequency of the payout of funds to your Designated Account. We will then automatically pay out all your funds in accordance with the selected intervals.

Payout of funds to your Designated Account is subject to certain limits as we determine from time to time.

Funds from a payment transaction credited to your Zettle Account will not be paid out to your Designated Account until the transaction is deemed completed. A Card transaction will be deemed completed when we have received the funds from the relevant Card Scheme or Acquirer.

A payment transaction using another payment method will be deemed completed when we have received the funds on our client funds account (the "Client Account"). Once we have verified your Designated Account (if applicable), we will take commercially reasonable efforts to initiate payout of funds (less our Fees, Chargebacks, reserve, refunds, reversals, claims and other funds owed to us) to your Designated Account on the business day immediately following the business day on which we received the funds on the Client Account, unless otherwise set out in these Payment Terms and Conditions.

Payouts to your Bank Account are executed, at least in part, by third party financial institutions. We will not be responsible or liable for the ultimate credit of funds to your Bank Account once we have instructed payment to your Bank Account. Furthermore, we will not be responsible or liable for any funds that, due to incorrect or incomplete Bank Account information provided by you, have been paid to a bank account that is not held in your name.

We reserve the right to temporarily suspend and/or delay payouts to your Designated Account and/or restrict access to any funds credited to your Zettle Account where we need to conduct an investigation or resolve any pending dispute relating to your Zettle Account and/or as necessary to comply with the Card Scheme Rules, applicable law or court order or if otherwise requested by law enforcement or any governmental authority.

When PayPal holds funds from the Payment Service for you, we are required to hold and safeguard the Payout amounts in accordance with the UK Payment Services Regulations 2017. This means that we place the funds in a separate safeguarding bank account held with an authorised credit institution. The funds are held in this account together with the funds of other customers, separate from our own money, until we transfer them to you in accordance with these Payments Terms and Conditions. We cannot use those funds for anything other than transferring the funds to you.

Nothing in the above provision stops us from deducting fees that we are entitled to collect under these Payments Terms and Conditions and any fees do not form part of the protected asset pool.

If there has been no activity on your Zettle Account for at least two consecutive years and you have a balance on your Zettle Account, we will notify you on the email address registered by you and/or associated with the Zettle Account and give you the option to keep your Zettle Account active or to close your Zettle Account and request a withdrawal of any funds that we hold on your behalf. If you do not respond to our notice within thirty days, we will automatically close your Zettle Account and any funds that we hold on your behalf will be handled in accordance with applicable law.

15. Transaction information

You may access your transaction information by logging into your Zettle Account. You will also be able to access downloadable reports. The transaction information will also show all Fees incurred, any other amounts charged to your Zettle Account in the relevant period and information on payouts to your Designated Account.

We will provide you with information regarding payment transactions with a reference enabling you to identify the transaction, the amount of the transaction in the currency in which your Zettle Account is credited and the amount of the Fee for the transaction. By accepting these Payment Terms and Conditions, you request and agree that we may aggregate this information for all Card transactions by brand, application, payment instrument categories and rates of interchange fees applicable to the transaction, as applicable, and that we make this information available to you periodically, at least once per month, via your Zettle Account in a format making it possible for you to store and reproduce the information in unchanged form.

16. Reserve

This section 16 applies only if you are a Zettle-only Merchant or Connected Merchant as described in section 1 above.

We reserve the right to designate an amount of funds that you must maintain in your Zettle Account and/or accrue a reserve on your behalf (a "Reserve") to secure the performance of your payment obligations under these Payment Terms and Conditions or such other requirements that we may determine to be necessary to protect against the risk associated with our business relationship with you. We may require and/or hold a Reserve for any reason, including if you have a high rate of Chargebacks, refunds, or other indications of performance problems related to your use of the Payment Service.

The Reserve will serve as security to cover anticipated Chargebacks, refunds and/or unfulfilled products or services or credit risk based on your processing history, and we will have the right to collect and set o^ from the Reserve all amounts that you owe us under these Payment Terms and Conditions. You authorise and instruct us to make any withdrawals or debits from the Reserve, without prior notice to you, to collect and set o^ amounts that you owe us under these Payment Terms and Conditions.

17. Chargebacks

Any amount attributable to a payment transaction may be reversed or charged back to your Zettle Account (i.e. debited from your Zettle Account) (a "Chargeback") if the transaction: a) is disputed in any way, b) is reversed for any reason by the Card issuer, c) was not authorised or we have reason to believe that it was not authorised, and/or d) is alleged to be illegal, suspicious or in violation of these Payment Terms and Conditions.

For any payment transaction we determine may result in a Chargeback, we have the right to withhold the potential amount of the Chargeback in a reserve. We may recover the amount of any Chargeback and any associated fees, fines, and/or penalties assessed by the Card Schemes or our Acquirers from funds credited to your Zettle Account or paid out to your PayPal Account or any other funds due to you under these Payment Terms and Conditions. If we believe that a Chargeback is likely with respect to any payment transaction, we may withhold the amount of the potential Chargeback from payments due to you under these Payment Terms and Conditions 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 the transaction has expired, or c) we determine that a Chargeback on the transaction will not occur. 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 on demand. 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 all balances unpaid by you.

If we determine that you are incurring an excessive number of Chargebacks or that Chargebacks related to you are too frequent, we may establish controls or conditions governing your Zettle Account or PayPal Account, including without limitation: a) creating a reserve in an amount reasonably determined by us to cover anticipated Chargebacks and related fees, penalties or fines, b) suspending your access to and use of the Payment Service, and/or c) terminating and closing your Zettle Account or your PayPal Account.

You agree to assist us when requested, at your expense, to investigate any transaction processed through the Payment Service. You further agree that we may share information about a Chargeback with your customer, the customer's financial institution and the Acquirer, and our other service providers in order to investigate and/or mediate a Chargeback. You acknowledge that your failure to assist us in a timely manner when investigating a transaction, including providing necessary information and documentation within ten days of our request, may result in an irreversible Chargeback. We reserve the right, upon notice to you, to charge a fee for mediating and/or investigating Chargeback disputes.

18. Your privacy and security

In addition to what is set out in section 11 of the General Terms and Conditions, you acknowledge that we are required to report your business name and the name of your beneficial owners and/or principals to the MATCH listing maintained by MasterCard and accessed and updated by American Express, and the VMAS database upheld by Visa, if applicable, pursuant to the requirements of the Card Scheme Rules. You acknowledge that we must fulfil the obligations related to such listing and reporting, and you waive and agree to hold us harmless from all claims and liabilities you may have as a result of such listing and reporting.

We are responsible for protecting the security of Card information in our possession. We have implemented administrative, technical and organisational procedures to protect Card information that is stored in our servers from unauthorised access and accidental loss, modification or disclosure.

19. Your additional warranties

In addition to any other warranties set out in these Payment Terms and Conditions and in section 14 of the General Terms and Conditions, you warrant to us that: a) any payment transaction submitted by you through the Payment Service will represent a bona fide sale by you, b) any payment transaction submitted by you through the Payment Service will accurately describe the products or services sold and delivered to your customer, c) you will fulfil all of your obligations to each customer on behalf of whom you submit a payment transaction and will resolve any customer dispute or complaint directly with the customer, d) you will, and any payment transactions submitted by you through the Payment Service will, comply with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to your business and the Payment Service, e) except in the ordinary course of business, no payment transaction submitted by you through the Payment Service will represent a sale to any principal, partner, proprietor, or owner of your business, f) you will not use the Payment Service, directly or indirectly, for any fraudulent undertaking or in any manner so as to interfere with the use of the Payment Service.

20. Your additional liability and indemnification

In addition to what is set out in section 15 of the General Terms and Conditions, you are responsible for all Chargebacks, reversals, refunds, fees, fines, penalties and other liabilities incurred by a third party or us caused by your access to and use of the Payment Service and/or arising from any breach by you of any provision of these Payment Terms and Conditions. You agree to reimburse such third party or us for any and all such liability.

Notwithstanding the above or any other provision of these Payment Terms and Conditions and in addition to what is set out in section 15 of the General Terms and Conditions, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us, our Acquirers, the Card Schemes and each of our respective directors, agents, affiliates, service providers, and representatives harmless from and against any claim (including all third-party claims), cost, suit, demand, loss, liability, damage, action, proceeding judgment, penalty, interest and expense (including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: a) any actual or alleged breach by you of any provision of the Card Scheme Rules, b) any payment transaction submitted by you through the Payment Service, and c) third party indemnity obligations we incur as a direct or indirect result of your acts or omissions (including indemnification of any Acquirer, service provider, or Card Scheme).

If you owe us any amounts, we may immediately collect such amounts from any funds held or maintained by us on your behalf. If there are insufficient funds to cover your liability, you agree to reimburse us immediately on demand through other means.

21. Our liability

Subject to sections 16 and 17 of the General Terms and Conditions, we are liable to ensure that payment transactions initiated through the Payment Service are properly submitted to the end customer's payment service provider, through the applicable Card Scheme, Acquirer, or other intermediary service providers, and that payment transactions carried out through the Payment Service are executed properly, provided that: a) the transaction has been authorised by the end customer, b) the transaction complies with these Payment Terms and Conditions, and c) you have complied with your obligations under these Payment Terms and Conditions. Subject to sections 16 and 17 of the General Terms and Conditions, we are further liable to ensure that funds credited to your Zettle Account are paid out to your Designated Account in accordance with section 14, provided that we have received such funds from the relevant Card Scheme, Acquirer or third party financial institution, as the case may be, on the Client Account.

If an authorised payment transaction is not executed properly or not executed at all, we will, upon your request, use reasonable endeavours to trace the transaction and attempt to rectify any errors that you or we discover and notify you of the result. If the error results in your receipt of less than the amount to which you were entitled, we will credit your Zettle Account for the difference. If the error results in your receipt of more than the amount to which you were entitled, we will debit the extra funds from your Zettle Account or PayPal Account.

You are responsible for, and warrant, to collect, store and process Customer Information in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations and your privacy policy, which includes having the right, and having ensured to have an appropriate lawful basis in place, to be able to collect, store and process the Customer Information obtained through the use of the Invoicing Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we will handle any errors in accordance with what is set out in section 21.

7. Specific terms relating to the gift card service

The Zettle Gift Card Service provides you a platform where you can offer your customers gift cards to use in your physical store for your products and services and manage and administer the sale of gift cards. The Zettle Gift Card Service is integrated into your Zettle Account and enables you to sell, track and redeem gift cards in your physical store. The Zettle Gift Card Service does not include the supply of physical cards or other value certificates. Additional information about the Zettle Gift Card Service can be found on our Website.

You are solely responsible for issuance and management of gift cards. We assume no liability to verify or otherwise control gift cards issued by you to customers, and you are solely responsible for providing accurate descriptions, information and content relating to gift cards issued by you under the Zettle Gift Card Service.

Gift cards issued by you must only be redeemable at your store(s) for goods and/or services provided by you at your premise(s).

Your issuance of gift cards via the Zettle Gift Card Service is subject to VAT. You acknowledge and understand that the Gift Card Service only supports multi-purpose vouchers meaning that any VAT due is only payable when the voucher is redeemed for goods or services.

You may not issue gift cards through the Zettle Gift Card Service valid longer than thirty- six (36) months from the date of issuance.

You may not provide a cash refund on gift cards except to the extent required by law. You may not redeem a previously issued gift card with another gift card. Any liability for the use or misuse of your gift cards, and any third party claims arising from or relating to your gift cards, are your sole responsibility.

You may only accept payment for gift cards through such payment methods offered by us from time to time in your jurisdiction, such as Card payments or cash.

You are responsible for providing information to your customers about the terms in these Payment Terms and Conditions applying to issued gift cards, for example that you may not provide a cash refund, that amount thresholds apply and that there are only certain payment methods that are accepted. Further, you agree to inform your customers about the expiration date of the issued gift card as set out on the receipt you are liable to provide in accordance with section 11.

You are solely responsible for compliance with laws and regulations that apply to your gift cards. You are also responsible for providing customer services for buyers and holders of gift cards.

Your use of the Zettle Gift Card Service may mean that you are: a) issuing electronic money in the United Kingdom, which may require you to be authorised by, or registered with, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) as an electronic money institution (EMI) pursuant to the Electronic Money Regulations 2011 (EMRs); and/or b) providing payment services in the UK, which may require you to be authorised by, or registered with, the FCA as an EMI pursuant to the EMRs, with permission to carry out payment services; or as a payment institution (PI) pursuant to the Payment Services 2017 (PSRs).

Under the PSRs and EMRs, a person providing payment services or issuing electronic money without FCA authorisation or registration in reliance on the exclusion known as the "limited network exclusion" (LNE), must notify the FCA where the total value of the payment transactions executed through such services and/or made with the electronic money in any period of twelve months exceeds 1 000 000 euros (or its equivalent in foreign currency). You are solely liable to, and responsible for, reporting your activities to the FCA in accordance with the provisions of the PSRs or EMRs.

Subject to your compliance with these Payment Terms and Conditions, we consider that your use of the Zettle Gift Card Service falls within the LNE, i.e. that you are not deemed to be issuing electronic money under the EMRs or providing regulated payment services under the PSRs. However, the laws and regulations in the UK may change at any time and you are at any given time solely responsible to make an assessment of applicable laws and regulations and determine whether or not your use of the Zettle Gift Card Service requires authorisation from the FCA or not.
