3. Access to our Services
As we provide various Services, there may be different ways you can sign up for a Service. However, they all have one thing in common, and that thing is information which we require from you to be able to register you as a “Your Payments Group” customer and provide you a Service. This information will vary depending on the Service you are signing up for and it may include your business or trade name, physical address, email, phone number, business identification number, URL, the nature of your business or activities, and certain other information about you that we may require. Sometimes, we may also ask you for some personal information (including name, date of birth, and government-issued identification number) about your beneficial owners, principals, and your “Your Payments Group” Account administrator. As mentioned above, protecting your personal information is very important to us – you can find out more about this by reading our Privacy Policy.
a. Signing up to your “Your Payments Group” Account:
If you are registering for a “Your Payments Group” Account, either for you as an individual or on behalf of a legal entity, here are the basics, it’s super simple. We just need to grab some details from you or your Representative, which may differ depending on whether you are registering as an individual or as a legal entity and may include some or all of the information referred to above. We’ll let you know when your “Your Payments Group” Account is active once we have reviewed and approved all required information. In some instances, your “Your Payments Group” Account is automatically generated, subject to the information we gather from you during your application process for a Service. If that’s the case, your “Your Payments Group” Account is ready for use once the application process is completed.
b. Applying for a “Your Payments Group” Service:
Where you’re requesting access to a Service which is not accessible via your “Your Payments Group” Account, we will provide you with a medium where you’ll be able to submit your application to us, setting out which information we require for us to be able to register you for a Service.
c. Regulated Services:
Some the Services we provide are regulated, such as our Payment Services. Due to regulatory requirements, as well as for us to be able to assess your eligibility as a potential customer, we may request further information from you. This may include copies of financial statements, reporting validating documentation that allows us to calculate outstanding credit exposure/risk of loss or other records pertaining to your compliance with these “Your Payments Group” General Terms. We may also require you to provide a personal or company guarantee.
Under Applicable Laws, such as anti-money laundering legislation, we are required to verify your identity and the identities of the beneficial owners of any business using the Payment Services.
We may request and review identity verifying information about you, for example from external service providers, including credit reporting agencies and information bureaus. “Your Payments Group” may periodically obtain additional reports to determine whether you continue to meet the requirements for Payment Services.
“Your Payments Group” may request additional information from you at any time. Your failure to provide this information or material requested by “Your Payments Group” may result in suspension or termination of your “Your Payments Group” Account or your access to the Services.
d. Informing us of any changes:
You must keep the information in “Your Payments Group” Account up to date and inform us of any changes with respect to your business, such as nature of your business activities, your Representatives, beneficial owners, principals, or any other relevant information, by contacting “Your Payments Group” support. Your failure to keep your information up to date may result in us suspending or terminating your “Your Payments Group” Account or your access to our Services.
At “Your Payments Group”, we thrive to always improve your experience using the Services. This is why we have given you access to your “Your Payments Group” Account via a convenient and user-friendly portal, where you can manage the Services you have with “Your Payments Group”, including any updates to your information.
To ensure we improve and offer you the best solution to manage your “Your Payments Group” Account, we reserve the right to modify, alter or discontinue any of our existing platforms as well as introduce new ways for you to access your “Your Payments Group” Account and our Services. If this happens, we will notify you.

7. Your equipment & the support we provide
i. Your equipment:
In order to use the Services, you’ll need a stable internet connection, as well as relevant additional equipment. We do not offer such connection nor additional equipment, unless expressly agreed by us, and therefore you are responsible for making sure you have access to the above to the extent it is needed to use the Services. We do not warrant that the Services will be compatible with your equipment.
ii. Support:
Navigating through the digital realm can be a bit daunting and complicated at times and we understand that you might need assistance from time to time. Customer service is at the heart of our operations. We will therefore happily provide you with the support you need related to your use of the Services. Certain Services may offer separate support specific to the Service you use or additional customer service, subject to the applicable Additional Terms, so make sure you give them a read.
8. The Services
i. Service availability: The Services, including any material or products offered through them, may be unavailable from time to time, may be offered on a limited basis, or may vary depending on your location or device. You agree not to access or use the Services in case it is illegal or not licensed for use in your location from which you access or use the Services, or to conceal or misrepresent your location or identity in order to use the Services.
We will endeavour to keep the Services up and running, including the “Your Payments Group” Software, but, as is the case with online services, they may suffer periodic disruptions and outages. We are not liable for any disruption or loss you may suffer as a result. If an outage occurs, it is possible that you may not be able to access or retrieve the User Content.
ii. Service updates: We may need to update the Services from time to time, including in order to keep the Services functioning properly or to offer you new and exciting features. We may automatically inspect your version of the “Your Payments Group” Software and download updates and configuration changes. In some instances, it may be required to update the “Your Payments Group” Software in order to be able to continue using it.
It’s important to note that we are not obligated to make any updates available and we don’t guarantee that we will support your system, or the version of your system, on which you purchased or licensed the “Your Payments Group” Software. Our updates may not be compatible with External Services.
Sometimes we may need to remove or change features or functionality of the “Your Payments Group” Software or stop providing a “Your Payments Group” Software or access to External Services altogether. We have no obligation (except to the extent required by Applicable Law) to provide you with a download or replacement of any “Your Payments Group” Software previously purchased or licensed.
iii. Licence: In order for you and Authorised Users to have access to the Services, “Your Payments Group” gives you a licence to use the Services which means that you don’t own the relevant Service. All intellectual property rights in the Services are exclusively owned by “Your Payments Group”, but you do have a right to use the Services subject to these “Your Payments Group” General Terms, as well as any applicable Additional Terms.
You are therefore granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to electronically access and use the Services only in the manner described in these “Your Payments Group” General Terms, and the applicable Additional Terms for the relevant Service. We may make updates to the Services or new Services available to you automatically as electronically published by “Your Payments Group”, but we may require action on your part before you may use the Services or new services (including manual activation, or acceptance of new or Additional Terms). “Your Payments Group” may revoke or terminate this licence at any time as further set out in these “Your Payments Group” General Terms, or as applicable, any Additional Terms.
You may not: (i) claim or register ownership of Services on your behalf or on behalf of others; (ii) sublicense any rights in Services granted by us; (iii) import or export any Services to a person or country in violation of any country’s export control Laws; (iv) use Services in a manner that violates these “Your Payments Group” General Terms or Applicable Laws; or (v) attempt to do any of the foregoing.
iv. External Services: The Services may be linked to External Services, or offer you the opportunity to connect, enable or access External Services, via the Services, such as through your “Your Payments Group” Account. In such cases, your “Your Payments Group” Account serves as a method of facilitating the registration of or authentication into an account associated with an External Service, which may be a different account than your “Your Payments Group” Account. The information required to use an External Service following your registration with your “Your Payments Group” Account may vary based on External Service requirements. You agree that access and use of such External Services shall be governed solely by the terms and conditions of such External Services, and that “Your Payments Group” is not responsible or liable for, and makes no representations or warranties as to any aspect of such External Services, including, without limitation, their content or data practices, or any interaction between you and the provider of such External Services. Any use by you of External Services shall be solely between you and the applicable provider of such External Services. “Your Payments Group” is not liable for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with your enablement, access or use of any such External Services, or your reliance on the privacy practices, data security processes or other policies of such External Services.

Such purposes include but are not limited to, promotion, service improvements, or sharing with business partners and third parties(insofar as such use is permitted by Applicable Law).
11. Security
Data security is extremely important to us and we have put in place appropriate organisational and technical security measures to prevent your Personal Data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed.

Further, you are responsible for safeguarding your password and for restricting access to the Services from your compatible equipment. You will immediately notify us of any unauthorised use of your password or “Your Payments Group” Account or any other breach of security.
Part 3 – Fees, Billing & Taxes
12. Fees
As stated previously, “Your Payments Group” Companies offer various Services, governed in part by Additional Terms. The Fees payable by you will therefore vary depending on the Service you use and are as set out in the applicable Additional Terms.
