Terms of Use

Nium Checkout - User Statement of Service

This Nium Checkout User Statement of Service (“Statement”) stipulate the relationship between Nium Pte Ltd., its subsidiaries and affiliates (together, “Nium” “we” or “us”) and you, the user of the Nium Checkout service (as defined below) (“you”). By using the Nium Checkout service, you agree to be bound by this Statement.

The Nium Checkout service (“Nium Checkout”) is a technology solution that makes it easier for merchants (“Merchants”) to collect payments from individuals like you. Nium Checkout allows you to insert and store your payment credentials including but not limited to your card number, expiration date and CVV code (“Payment Credentials”) so that payments made through Nium Checkout will be executed easily and securely. Please note that by using Nium Checkout you also acknowledge our Privacy Policy which forms part of this Statement.

When you purchase goods/services on the website of a Merchant that has Nium Checkout enabled, we will collect and store certain personal data about you, in line with our Privacy Policy, including but not limited to your name, email address or your mobile phone number (“Nium Credentials”), along with your Payment Credentials.

Nium provides certain payment processing and electronic money services, and other related services for its Merchants, either itself, or through its authorised payment providers (“Partners”).

Where relevant, Nium Checkout allows you to make transactions by utilising services provided by our Partners. Please note that Nium Checkout is a stand-alone service and has no impact on your relationship with the Merchant (that you are paying), your bank or your credit card company.

You are and will always be responsible for the purchases you make and for the information you upload using Nium Checkout on the Merchant’s site. For the avoidance of any doubt, the engagement between you and the Merchant, as well as any use of your data by the Merchant, is subject to your direct relationship with the Merchant, and more specifically, your acceptance of the Merchant’s terms of use and privacy policy. Nium’s role is only to execute the transaction and to charge you in accordance with this Statement.

We may, at our discretion, impose limits on the frequency and/or quantum of payments you can make through Nium Checkout.

By adding details pertaining to a relevant payment method, including but not limited to a debit card, a credit card or a bank account, as your Payment Credentials, you are providing Nium with an authority to automatically charge you for the relevant amount of the transaction when using Nium Checkout.

Please note that in some cases, tokenization of your card (storing your data in a digital asset form) may be subject to a minimal charge of your card which will be refunded immediately thereafter. In such cases, this will appear in your bank account.

When utilising the Nium Checkout services, please note that you are purchasing good/services from the Merchant directly. As such, any refund requests will be strictly subject to the Merchant’s own refund policy and terms and conditions, not Nium’s. For the avoidance of doubt, the Merchant is responsible for any refund requests initiated by you.

The Merchant is solely responsible for any liability pertaining to chargebacks. To initiate any chargeback requests, you will be required to lodge the relevant chargeback request with your financial institution associated with the relevant payment method you utilised to make payment via Nium Checkout.

You agree to allow the Merchant to recover any amounts due to the Merchant by debiting your payment method, as necessary. If there are insufficient funds in the balance of your relevant payment method to cover your outstanding liability, you must reimburse the Merchant through other means. If you file a Chargeback request with your card issuer or financial institution, only the card issuer or financial institution will be able to determine the validity and approval of such request.

By using Nium Checkout you represent and warrant that you will not use Nium Checkout for any fraudulent, unlawful or abusive purpose.

Nium, including all content, software, functions, materials, and information made available on, provided in connection with or accessible through Nium Checkout, are provided “as is.” To the fullest extent permissible by law, Nium, its affiliates, and their agents, merchants or independent contractors (the “Disclaiming Entities”), make no representation or warranty of any kind whatsoever for the services or the content, materials, information and functions made accessible by Nium Checkout, or for any breach of privacy or security associated with the transmission of data through Nium Checkout. Each Disclaiming Entity disclaims without limitation, any warranty of any kind with respect to the services, noninfringement, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose. The Disclaiming Entities do not warrant that the functions contained in the services will be uninterrupted or error free. The Disclaiming Entities shall not be responsible for any service interruptions, including, but not limited to, system failures or other interruptions that may affect the receipt, processing, acceptance, completion or settlement of payment transactions. The Disclaiming Entities are not responsible for the accuracy of any payment instrument, offer, or reward program item information, including, without limitation, whether such information is accurate.

In no event shall any Disclaiming Entity be responsible or liable to you or any third party under any circumstances for any indirect, consequential, special, punitive or exemplary, damages or losses, including but not limited to damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses which may be incurred in connection with any Disclaiming Entity or the services, or any goods, services, or information purchased, received, sold, or paid for by way of the services, regardless of the type of claim or the nature of the cause of action, even if the Disclaiming Entity has been advised of the possibility of such damage or loss. In no event shall the Disclaiming Entities’ total cumulative liability arising from or relating to this Statement exceed $10 US dollars. Each party acknowledges that the other party has entered into this Statement relying on the limitations of liability stated herein and that those limitations are an essential basis of the agreement between the parties. In addition to and without limiting any of the foregoing, no Disclaiming Entity shall have any liability for any failure or delay resulting from any condition beyond the reasonable control of such party, including but not limited to governmental action or acts of terrorism, earthquake, fire, flood or other acts of God, labour conditions, power failures and Internet disturbances.

This Agreement is concluded in English.

We may provide you with notice via email, postings on our website, or through other reasonable means. If you are an existing Nium Checkout user, the changes will come into effect immediately after we post the changes to our website, and your use of Nium Checkout immediately after we publish any such changes on our website constitutes your acceptance of the modified Statement. In the event that you do not agree with any such modification, your sole and exclusive remedy is to stop using the Nium Checkout services.

You may not assign this Statement or any rights or obligations hereunder, by operation of law or otherwise, without Nium’s prior written approval and attempted assignment shall be null and void. We reserve the right to freely assign this Statement and the rights and obligations hereunder, to any third party without notice or consent.

Severability. If any provision of this Statement shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Statement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and remain enforceable between the parties.

Entire Agreement. This Statement, including Nium’s policies governing Nium Checkout referenced herein, constitutes the entire agreement between you and Nium with respect to the use of Nium Checkout.

Third Party Rights. This Statement is not intended and shall not be construed to create any rights or remedies in any parties other than you and Nium, and no other person will have the ability to assert any rights as a third party beneficiary under this Statement.

Chargeback is a mechanism for your payment card issuer or payment provider (at their discretion) to reclaim money from a retailer’s bank. This can allow your card issuer or payment provider to provide you with a refund in a number of circumstances, including:

• if you do not get the Product you paid for;
• if you are charged the wrong amount, or charged twice by mistake;
• if the payment was made fraudulently.

You agree to contact Nium prior to raising a request for a chargeback or any dispute with your bank or card issuer/payment provider in relation to any Transaction.

We recognise that chargebacks can happen for a variety of reasons. However, if you make a payment through Nium, and later dispute a legitimate charge by raising a chargeback without merit or legitimate reason (as determined at our sole discretion), whether fraudulently or otherwise, then we reserve the right to prohibit you from using our Services by providing compelling evidence to refute your invalid chargeback request.

If you are dissatisfied with any Product(s) purchased using the Services, or if you believe that you have been charged in error, please directly contact the following in order to resolve the issue:

(a) Nium - for issues relating to requests for refunds, payment, invoicing, and initial order related support;

(b) the Supplier - for all other issues, including issues relating to the product and/or its functionality.

If you are unable to resolve the issue with the Supplier directly, you may file a dispute or complaint against the Supplier with Nium. You must not make any false or misleading statements when filing, or during the subsequent investigation of, a dispute. Nium will investigate all disputes that are filed with it and will make reasonable efforts to resolve them. However, the ultimate resolution of such disputes shall be at Nium’s sole discretion.

For buyers in India, you can submit any payment-related questions to reseller.support@nium.com. In the event of an escalation, you may contact our Grievance Officer Sudhir Nair at sudhir.nair@nium.com.

It’s your responsibility to provide us with the correct payment details (your unique bank transfer reference number), and order information to avoid delays in your order fulfilment, as we may be unable to reconcile or refund such transactions.

If you’ve been charged sales tax on your purchase and are registered for sales tax in the country of purchase, you may be entitled to a refund of the sales tax amount if permitted by the laws applicable in such country. Sales taxes include VAT, GST, Consumption Tax and others as applicable from time to time. For wire transfers, please refer to the Wire Transfer section above for more information regarding eligibility of sales tax refunds.

You must contact Nium within 30 days after completing the purchase to be eligible for a sales tax refund. This refund will only be processed upon the provision of a valid sales tax code for your country.

All refund requests received after 60 days from the date of the Transaction will not be processed.

This Agreement and Nium’s rights and obligations under this Agreement will be transferred automatically to the Supplier upon receipt of a written notice from the Supplier requesting the transfer. In such circumstances:
• The Supplier agrees to be bound by this Agreement in every way as if it were the original party to it in place of Nium.

You may have the benefit of a manufacturer’s, licensor’s or Supplier’s warranty with the Products supplied and you should refer to the relevant documentation supplied with the Product in this regard (including the Supplier Agreement).

If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavour to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these terms remain in full force and effect. Nium's acquiescence in the breach of a provision of this Agreement or failure to act upon such breach does not waive Nium's right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. Likewise, the delay or failure of Nium to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

The parties agree that any Confidential Information provided under this Agreement shall be held and maintained in strict confidence. Each party agrees to protect the confidentiality of such information in a manner consistent with the way a reasonable person would protect similar Confidential Information.

Nium will maintain appropriate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for protection of the security, confidentiality and integrity of Buyer data, as described in Nium’s Privacy Policy.
