Depending on the Services you use, you may be asked to provide information such as your name, contact information, Payment Instrument information (including your bank name, routing number and account number for the account, if applicable), date of birth, and/or your social security number. We may verify your registration information with a third party verification vendor. In some cases, we may ask you to send us additional information, such as a copy of your driver's license or passport, or to answer additional questions to help us verify your identity. Finally, if you register a Carrier Billing Account, we will ask you to provide your mobile telephone number and the name and billing address associated with that number.
The information you provide will be used by us to determine if you are eligible to begin and/or continue to use the Services. Provision and use of such data is subject to the Google Payments Privacy Notice, as described more fully in Section 7 below.
2.2 USA Patriot Act Notice
To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each individual or business that opens an account or requests credit.
2.3 Accuracy of Registration Information
You are responsible for providing accurate registration information and for keeping your registration information up to date, or notifying us in the event of changes. Changes to your primary residence address may require you to accept new Google Payments terms of service for the country to which you have moved. In addition, as certain services are currently offered only in select countries, changes to your primary residence address may result in your becoming ineligible for certain services.
2.4 Relation to your Google Account
In order to use the Services, you must have a Google Account which is in good standing with Google, in accordance with the Google Terms of Service. If you or Google closes your Google Account for any reason, your Google Payments Account will also be closed and you will no longer be able to access the Services.
3.1 Getting Started with the Processing Service
In order to use the Processing Service, you must complete all information elements required on pages where you register a Payment Instrument in your Google Payments Account. You must register a valid Payment Instrument to make Payment Transactions.
You authorize GPC to confirm that your Payment Instrument is in good standing with the issuing financial institution and/or Carrier (as applicable), including, but not limited to, by submitting a request for a payment authorization and/or a low dollar credit and/or debit to the Payment Instrument, in accordance with the relevant card association or Carrier rules as applicable. GPC, in its sole and absolute discretion, may refuse to approve or may terminate existing registrations for the Processing Service with or without cause or notice, other than any notice required by any Applicable Law, and not waived herein.
3.2 Online Card Processing Service
The Online Card Processing Service facilitates a credit or debit card purchase by a Buyer from a Seller that is registered with GPC to receive certain merchant payment processing services. The Online Card Processing Service stores information from Buyers, such as their Payment Instruments and shipping information. GPC processes Payment Transactions on behalf of Sellers, as the agent of the Seller, through a payment network or through a participating Carrier, as applicable. When Buyer chooses to pay for Products with the Processing Service, Buyer authorizes the Seller to submit charges (and, in the case of refunds, credits) to Buyer's registered Payment Instrument. GPC will assist as agent of the Seller in accessing a payment network and processing the Payment Transaction. Once Buyer's registered Payment Instrument is authorized, Buyer's payment obligation to Seller shall be deemed completed and discharged (except for Buyer's obligations in the event of a chargeback or other reversal). Purchases made through the Online Card Processing Service are also subject to the terms and conditions governing Buyer's Payment Instrument between Buyer and the issuer of the Payment Instrument. Buyer is responsible for any charges and related fees that may be imposed under the Payment Instrument terms and conditions as a result of Buyer's use of a Payment Instrument.
You acknowledge and agree that your purchases of Products are transactions between you and the Seller, and not with GPC, Google or any of their affiliates. Neither GPC nor Google are a party to your Payment Transaction for the purchase of Products, and GPC, Google, or other GPC affiliates are not a Buyer or a Seller in connection with any Payment Transaction, unless expressly designated as such in the listing of the Product on a Google Web Site.
You also agree that Google may update your Payment Instrument information, including expiration date and card number, due to information received under certain account updater programs created by payment networks. Under these programs, enrolled card issuers and merchants can provide and/or receive up to date payment card-related information from payment networks regarding your Payments Instruments stored by GPC. GPC may reflect these changes to your stored Payment Instrument to prevent payment failure or service termination.
You also agree that a Seller and GPC, acting on behalf of the Seller, may resubmit a Payment Transaction for a Product purchase to the payment network for processing one or more times in the event that a prior Payment Transaction is declined or returned by the payment network.
3.3 Waze Carpool Processing Service
The Waze Carpool Processing Service facilitates a credit or debit card purchase by a rider (a Buyer) from a driver (a Seller) that is registered with GPC to receive certain merchant payment processing services. The Waze Carpool Processing Service stores information from Buyers, such as their Payment Instruments and other information. GPC receives and processes Payment Transactions for the Waze Carpool Processing Service on behalf of the Seller drivers, as the agent of the Seller drivers, through the appropriate payment network. When a Buyer chooses to pay a Seller driver for a ride with the Waze Carpool Processing Service, Buyer authorizes the Seller driver to submit charges (and, in the case of refunds, credits) to Buyer's registered Payment Instrument. Payment received by GPC (including authorization of the payment) from the issuer of your registered Payment Instrument shall constitute payment to the Seller driver, and your payment obligation to the Seller driver shall be deemed completed and discharged at that time. Purchases made through the Waze Carpool Processing Service are also subject to the terms and conditions governing the Buyer's Payment Instrument between Buyer and the issuer of the Payment Instrument. Buyer is responsible for any charges and related fees that may be imposed under the Payment Instrument terms and conditions as a result of Rider's use of a Payment Instrument.
You acknowledge and agree that your purchases of Products processed through the Waze Carpool Processing Service are transactions between you and the Seller driver, and not with GPC, Google or any of their affiliates. Neither GPC nor Google are a party to your Payment Transaction for the purchase of Products, and GPC, Google and other GPC affiliates are not a Buyer or Seller driver in connection with any Payment Transaction, unless expressly designated as such in the listing of the Product on a Google Web Site.
3.4 Carrier Billing Service
Certain Sellers that use the Processing Service may permit you to have your purchase billed to your Carrier Billing Account. These additional terms apply when you use Carrier Billing through the Processing Service:
3.5 Passing Payment Instrument Details to Third Parties
Where requested by You, GPC may pass details of your Payment Instrument and related information to a third party for that third party to charge the Payment Instrument for goods or services it will supply to You. In such cases, after passing the Payment Instrument details to that third party, GPC will have no further involvement in Your transaction with that third party (and You acknowledge and agree that your purchases made are transactions between you and the third party and not with GPC, Google or any of GPC's affiliates). This is not a Payment Transaction. You should contact the third party or Your Payment Instrument provider (e.g., credit or debit card provider) directly regarding any issues with such third-party transactions, including refunds and disputes.
3.6 Subscriptions/Recurring Transactions Purchases
In the event that the Processing Service offers you the ability to pay for subscriptions, your subscription will start when you click "Accept & buy" on a subscription purchase. This is a recurring billing transaction. Unless otherwise stated, your subscription and the relevant billing authorization will continue indefinitely until cancelled by you.
By clicking "Accept & buy"(or equivalent phrase), you authorize the applicable Seller to bill your chosen Payment Instrument each designated billing period for the subscription at the Purchase Amount. You further authorize the applicable Seller to charge the Purchase Amount to the alternate Payment Instrument, if you have selected one in your Google Payments Account, in the event that the Seller is unable to charge to your designated Payment Instrument for any reason.
The Purchase Amount will continue to be charged to your Payment Instrument or alternate Payment Instrument (if applicable) each billing period, until you cancel your subscription, unless as otherwise stated in the terms and conditions. The billing rate is subject to change by the Seller during the subscription period.
Your Payment Instrument will be billed each period based on the date of the subscription purchase.
You may cancel a subscription at any time by following the process described here, but the cancellation will not become effective until the end of the current billing period. You will not receive a refund for the current billing period. You will continue to be able to access the relevant subscription for the remainder of the current billing period.
We reserve the right to issue refunds or credits at our sole discretion. If we issue a refund or credit, we are under no obligation to issue the same or similar refund in the future.
3.7 Permissible Payment Transactions
You may only use the Processing Service to process a Payment Transaction for a Product that is purchased from a Seller through a legitimate, bona fide sale of the Product.

You may not use the Processing Service to purchase any illegal goods or services or for any other underlying illegal transaction.
You agree that you will not use the Processing Service to purchase any Products that violate these Terms of Service, other policies or rules applicable to the Processing Service, or Applicable Law.

You should consult the terms and conditions governing your Payment Instrument for more information about any such fees.

If this occurs, GPC will review the dispute and propose a non-binding solution, if appropriate. For more detailed information, please see our Frequently Asked Questions. For the Google Pay Balance Customer Service and Error Resolution Policy applicable to the Google Pay Balance and certain P2P Payments, please see Section 5.
GPC may offer a feedback or other ranking system on the Processing Service to assist you in evaluating other Customers of the Service. You acknowledge that any such feedback or ranking system represents solely the opinion of other Customers of the Processing Service, and is not an opinion, representation, or warranty by GPC with respect to other Customers of the Processing Service.
You agree to release GPC, Google, and other GPC affiliates, and their agents, contractors, officers and employees, from all claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) arising out of or in any way connected with a dispute. You agree that you will not involve GPC in any litigation or other dispute arising out of or related to any transaction, agreement, or arrangement with any Seller, other Buyer, advertiser or other third party in connection with the Service. If you attempt to do so, (i) you shall pay all costs and attorneys' fees of GPC, Google, and other GPC affiliates and shall provide indemnification as set forth below, and (ii) the jurisdiction for any such litigation or dispute shall be limited as set forth below. However, nothing in these Terms of Service shall constitute a waiver of any rights, claims or defenses that you may have with respect to a Payment Transaction under the Buyer's card issuer agreement or Carrier Billing Account terms and conditions, the card association rules or applicable state and federal laws, such as the federal Truth in Lending Act or the Electronic Fund Transfer Act.
If you are a California resident, you hereby expressly waive California Civil Code 1542, which states: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if not known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."

Except as set forth in these Terms of Service, all Payment Transactions processed through the Processing Service are non-refundable to Buyer by GPC and are non-reversible by Buyer through the Processing Service. You may have additional refund or charge-back rights under your Payment Instrument issuer agreement or applicable state and federal laws. You should review your periodic statement received from the issuer of your Payment Instrument which will reflect all purchase transactions through the Processing Service.

GPC is not responsible if the intended Recipient does not have or create accounts necessary to receive a P2P Payment.
(f) A requested P2P Payment is complete when funds are (i) credited to the Recipient's Google Pay Balance and available for use or withdrawal by the Recipient or (ii) directed by the Recipient to the Recipient's bank account (via the Recipient's debit card or the ACH Network). The Sender may request that GPC cancel the P2P Payment prior to such completion of the P2P Payment, as described in our Customer Service & Error Resolution Policy. The Sender may request cancellation of the P2P Payment by calling GPC at 1-888-986-7944. GPC will use commercially reasonable efforts to cancel the P2P Payment upon request by the Sender. In the event that GPC is able to cancel the P2P Payment, the funds will be credited to the Sender's Funding Account, or Google Pay Balance, that was used to fund the P2P Payment. GPC may deduct applicable fees from the returned funds, to the extent permitted by applicable law. P2P Payments that have been completed as set forth in this subsection are ineligible for cancellation.
(g) GPC reserves the right (but is not obligated) to make funds available to a Recipient before GPC receives final settlement of the Sender's funding transaction. GPC also reserves the right in its sole discretion to delay transfer of funds to Recipient or place a hold on funds in the Recipient's Google Pay Balance.
(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, GPC will use commercially reasonable efforts to make funds available to a Recipient no later than three (3) business days after GPC receives final settlement of the Sender's funding transaction. Except as set forth in the Customer Service & Error Resolution Policy, GPC has no liability to you or any other person for any delay in making funds available to the Recipient.
(i) If a requested P2P Payment cannot be completed for any reason, including because the Recipient is not a U.S. resident, or the Recipient does not or is ineligible to create a Google Payments Account and / or Google Pay Balance in order to receive the funds within ten (10) days of the Sender initiating the P2P Payment, the P2P Payment will be canceled and, to the extent possible, funds will be returned to the Sender's Funding Account or Google Pay Balance.
(j) Use of Gmail and Google+. You may be able to initiate a P2P transaction using Gmail. The text of Gmail email messages for P2P Payments, any accompanying photo(s), and any other attachments, data, or information included in such messages, are not considered part of P2P Payments processed by GPC. In the event that you have created a Google+ profile that includes your photo(s), such photo(s) may be visible to Senders and Recipients and included with your P2P transaction. You may limit the sharing of your photos by changing the settings of your Google+ profile in your Google+ account. Your use of Gmail and Google+ are subject to the terms of service and policies of those individual products. P2P Payments initiated through Gmail are offered as part of Google Pay by GPC under the terms of this agreement. Gmail and Google+ are offered under the terms of your agreement for those services with Google LLC.
5.4 Transaction Records, Customer Service and Error Resolution Policy
Records of your P2P Payments through the P2P Service and your other Google Pay Balance transactions (together, your "Google Pay Balance Transactions") will be reflected in your transaction history in your Google Payments Account. In addition, you will be provided with a monthly statement of your Google Pay Balance Transactions, which can be accessed by logging into your account at pay.google.com or in the Google Pay mobile application. You are responsible for reviewing your statement and transaction activity to determine if there are any errors or unauthorized transactions, and for alerting GPC of such events, in accordance with the Google Pay Balance Customer Service and Error Resolution Policy, available in your Google Payments Account. You should review the Google Pay Balance Customer Service and Error Resolution Policy to understand certain rights you may have as to your Google Pay Balance Transactions.
It is your obligation to save or print a copy of your Google Pay Balance statement. If your access to the Service is canceled or terminated by you or by us for any reason, you will not be permitted to access statements stored by GPC. You may request paper copies of certain electronic records about your account and stored by GPC, subject to the limitations of the Electronic Communications policy, as stated in Section 9 below. GPC reserves the right to charge you fees for such paper copies.
5.5 Fees
GPC may charge fees in accordance with the then-current fee schedule, as stated herein. Google Pay does not assess a fee for any P2P Payment or Google Pay Balance transaction (see Exhibit A, Short Form Disclosure, which provides a summary fee disclosure and Exhibit B, Long Form Disclosure, which provides a list of all fees).
Please review the account terms provided by the issuer of your Funding Account for any fees they may assess on your use of your Funding Account.
5.6 Transaction Limits
P2P Payments may not exceed Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) in aggregate transactions over seven (7) days. Transactions using Google Pay Balance, excluding P2P Payments, may not exceed Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) as an individual transaction or Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) in aggregate transactions over five (5) days. Florida residents also may not initiate, receive, or otherwise engage in P2P Payments or Google Pay Balance transactions exceeding Three Thousand Dollars ($3,000) in any given 24-hour period. GPC or the Partner Bank may impose additional limitations on the dollar amount or frequency of any withdrawals permitted; these limitations are subject to change.

6.1 Limitations
Notwithstanding any limitations described elsewhere in these Terms of Service, we may establish general practices and limits concerning use of the Services, including without limitation individual or aggregate transaction limits on the dollar amount or number of transactions during any specified time period(s). We reserve the right to change, suspend or discontinue any aspect of the Services at any time, including hours of operation or availability of the Services or any Service feature, without notice and without liability. We also reserve the right to impose limits on certain Service features or restrict access to some or all of the Services without notice and without liability. We may decline to process any transaction without prior notice to you.
GPC may delay, hold, cancel or reverse processing of any transaction if:

(b) GPC, in its sole discretion, believes that the transaction is invalid, suspicious, involves misconduct or fraud, or otherwise violates Applicable Law, these Terms of Service, or any applicable GPC, GAZ, or Google policies.
Buyer authorizes the charge or debit to Buyer's Payment Instrument, by GPC as agent of the Seller, as necessary to complete processing of a Payment Transaction. Buyer also authorizes the crediting or debiting, as applicable, to Buyer's Payment Instrument, by GPC as agent of the Seller, in connection with chargebacks, reversals, refunds, or adjustments through the Service by a Seller.
We may limit or suspend your use of one or more Services at any time, in our sole and absolute discretion. If we suspend your use of a Service, we will attempt to notify you by electronic mail. Suspension of your use of a Service will not affect your rights and obligations pursuant to these Terms of Service arising before or after such suspension or with respect to any non-terminated Services.
Certain Google Pay features, such as Google Pay with Virtual Account Numbers, are intended for use on mobile devices, Android operating systems, or other devices or operating systems approved by Google, as provided to you directly by Google or your mobile carrier. You are strictly prohibited from using such features on a mobile device or Android operating system, or other device or operating system approved by Google, that has been modified or customized in any way. You bear sole responsibility for such unauthorized use of such features on a modified mobile device, Android operating system, or other device or operating system approved by Google.
6.2 Fraud
If you believe your Google Payments Account has been opened or used in an unauthorized manner, please see our fraud protection process. Also, please see our Help Center for more information on how GPC protects you from fraud. Please note that fraudulent P2P transactions may result in the loss of your money with no recourse.
6.3 Unclaimed Property
If GPC is holding funds due to you arising from a Payment Transaction processed using any service described herein, and GPC is unable to contact you and has no record of your use of the service for several years, Applicable Law may require GPC to report these funds as unclaimed property. If this occurs, GPC will try to locate you at the address shown in our records, but if GPC is unable to locate you, it may be required to deliver any such funds to the applicable state as unclaimed property. GPC reserves the right to deduct a dormancy fee or other administrative charges from such unclaimed funds, as permitted by Applicable Law. GPC does not currently deduct a dormancy fee or other administrative charges from such unclaimed funds (see Exhibit A, Short Form Disclosure and Exhibit B, Long Form Disclosure).
6.4 GPC Not a Banking Institution, Issuer, or Processor
GPC is not a bank or other chartered depository institution. GPC is not an issuer of any Funding Account, Payment Instrument or other item stored as a Valuable, unless expressly stated otherwise. GPC is not an issuer of Play Gift Cards. With respect to transactions involving Google Pay with Virtual Account Numbers, Linked Third-Party Accounts, or Third-Party Online Payments, all payment processing is handled solely by the merchant, and GPC is not involved in the merchant's processing of the payment.
With respect to the Processing Service, GPC processes Payment Transactions through the Processing Service as an agent of and on behalf of Sellers. Funds held by GPC or its service providers (including any bank service providers) in connection with the processing of Payment Transactions are not deposit obligations of Buyer and are not insured for the benefit of Buyer by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency.
These Terms of Service do not amend or otherwise modify your agreement with the issuer of your Funding Account or Payment Instrument or redeemable Save to Google Pay Item, and you are responsible for ensuring your use of the Services complies with such agreements. You also are responsible for all charges and/or debits to your Funding Account or Payment Instrument resulting from purchases of Products or redemptions of items stored as Save to Google Pay Items, in accordance with such agreements. In the event of any inconsistency between these Terms of Service and your agreement with the issuer of your Funding Account, Payment Instrument or redeemable Save to Google Pay Item, these Terms of Service govern the relationship between you and GPC solely with respect to the Services, and your agreement with the issuer of your Funding Account, Payment Instrument or Save to Google Pay Item governs the relationship between you and the issuer of such item. You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for the Funding Account Payment Instrument or for Save to Google Pay Items, and any other information you enter or otherwise store in Google Pay. GPC is not responsible for the accuracy or availability of any information you enter or otherwise store with the Services, including, without limitation, whether such information is current and up-to-date.
6.5 Communication with Issuers
By electing to use Google Pay, you authorize GPC, directly or through such Service, to communicate with the issuer of your Funding Account, Payment Instrument, or Save to Google Pay Item, to provide or obtain any information required by that issuer.
