Each merchant is responsible for ensuring that payment transfers comply with applicable laws including the rules and guidelines laid down in payment card legislation, registration regulations, and consumer protection.

The merchant can make agreements with other acquirers (than pensopay endorsed acquirers) on the use of payment card systems, and accordingly pensopay is not responsible for the pricing and terms of these acquirers. As such the acquirer agreements between the merchant and this acquirer are exclusively agreements between these two parties.

The Merchant is obligated to comply with the rules and guidelines stipulated by pensopay and is obligated to give notification of any irregularities in operation, including any systems suspected to have been compromised by a third party.

pensopay will not be held liable for losses suffered by the user should other people gain access to the user’s password, login information, etc., or if any customers require refund of payments made over the internet, regardless of objections the card holder/user might make.
