Funds for any given transaction will not be deposited until the transaction is deemed complete. Transactions will be deemed complete when we or the designated financial institutions have accepted the transaction or funds. You are responsible for monitoring your transactions and ensuring that our payments to you are correct. You must notify us of any errors in payments made to you within sixty (60) days of the error first appearing on your electronic transaction history. Failure to notify us of such an error will be deemed a waiver of any right to amounts owed to you.

We also may defer payout or restrict access to your funds as required by law or court order, or if otherwise requested by law enforcement or governmental entity.

To that end, you permit us to share information about a Chargeback with the payer, the payer’s financial institution, and your financial institution in order to investigate and/or mediate a Chargeback.

If you have pending Chargebacks, we may delay payouts to your bank account. Further, 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.
