It is your responsibility to keep your contact email address up to date so that 3PayMe can communicate with you electronically.
You understand and agree that if 3PayMe sends you an electronic communication but you do not receive it because your contact email address on file is incorrect, out of date or blocked by your service provider, or you are otherwise unable to receive electronic communications, 3PayMe will be deemed to have successfully provided the communication to you.
If you use a spam filter that blocks or re-routes emails from senders not listed in your email address book, you should add 3PayMe to your email address book so that you will be able to view the communications that we send to you.

Payments
By using a debit card, credit card or other applicable payment service as a payment method on the 3PayMe website, you are providing 3PayMe and its payment partner with authority to automatically charge that card or payment service account to obtain the relevant funds when the card or payment service is used as a payment method.
When you make a payment against a 3PayMe tag but do not make use of the Release Code that is provided to you and instead choose to reverse the payment that was made, then the payment will be returned to your bank or payment service account less the transaction fee incurred as a result of the bank processing fee applied to that payment.
Payments made to you as a Seller by 3PayMe once a Release Code has been submitted, will be processed through an automatic payment process and the funds may take up to 48 hours to reflect in your bank account, depending on inter-bank payment delays.
Payments made to you as a Seller by 3PayMe will have the processing fee deducted that was initially disclosed with the creation of the Sales Tag for which the payment applies.
Once a Release Code has been submitted against a specific tag then this cannot be reversed and payment will be made to the Seller.
The general terms and conditions of use provided by the card payment gateway provider or payment service provider apply in full to all payments made by users of the 3PayMe service.
