An Administrator Account will be created for your primary PassportPay contact (the “Administrator”), and such Administrator will have the ability to create additional Users accounts, determine their access level, and manage permissions.

We reserve the right to place a hold on any payment requested through the Services for any reason, including, but not limited to, credit and fraud risk or compliance with applicable laws, such as anti-money laundering regulations, combating terrorist financing laws and OFAC sanctions.

3. PASSPORTPAY
3.1. Services
The Services are designed to allow Users to send funds and make payments to third parties outside of the United States (each, a “Recipient”) with a Card or your Wallet (each, a “Payment Method”).
3.2. Payment Methods
You may add one or more Cards to your Account at any time and authorize us, for the purpose of processing your payment, to debit or charge the Cared for the amount you specify, plus any Service Fees (as defined below). When you add a Card to your Account, you represent and warrant that you own the Card and have the authority to disclose the Card information. You can withdraw your authorization for us to charge your Card by removing it from your Account. If your Card payment fails, you authorize us to retry one or more times using the same Card, subject to limitations under applicable law. You acknowledge that no payment will be made to the Recipient is your Card payment fails.
You acknowledge that the use of Cards is subject to the terms and conditions imposed by the banks that issue your Cards (each, an “Issuing Bank”).
Certain Cards can be limited to industries or categories by Issuing Banks. In selecting a recipient category, you represent and warrant that the information you provide is accurate and in compliance with your Issuing Bank’s terms. You acknowledge and agree that the Issuing Bank determines the classification of payment requests. Priority IR is not liable for any consequences, including any additional fees, resulting from the Issuing Bank’s treatment of card authorizations.
3.3. Payment Submission
If you submit a payment request, you are requesting that we charge your Card for the amount you request. You can use the Services to make immediate payments or Scheduled Payments (as defined herein). You are responsible for verifying the accuracy of payment details you provide to us. We will have no liability to you or your Recipient if the information you provide to us is inaccurate or if your Recipient fails to accept the payment.
Certain Card Networks do not support certain types of transactions. Your Card may not support the type of transaction you wish to make.
You may submit payments with a future processing date (“Scheduled Payments”). Scheduled Payments must be processed on the date or dates you specify (the “Processing Date”). The details of a Scheduled Payment are locked in at the time of submission, except as otherwise noted. Prior to the Processing Date, you may cancel a Scheduled Payment. If you revise a Scheduled Payment, the original Scheduled Payment will be deleted and a new Scheduled Payment will be created. As a result, the new Scheduled Payment may show changes not specifically requested, including, but not limited to, qualification for promotions and reiteration of any applicable Payment Review.
3.4. Payment Processing
Payments submitted for immediate processing will require successful payment authorization at the time of submission, while Scheduled Payments will require payment authorization on the Processing Date indicated for the payment. If a Card payment is not authorized, we will be unable to process your payment and will notify you via PassportPay.
The failure of any portion of the payment process, which may include but are not limited to, third-party service calls and fraud analyses, may result in a full rollback of any completed portions of the submission. You agree to absolve Priority IR of liability for any of the consequences which may arise from execution of a payment rollback, including pending authorizations which may temporarily reduce your available credit line.
4. ACCOUNT ACTIVITIES
4.1. Payment Review
We review all payments made using the Services before we submit the payments to the applicable Recipient (“Payment Review”). At times, we may request detailed information regarding the Account, you, the Recipient, and other facts or circumstances in connection with such Payment Review. If you do not provide the necessary information, the payment may be delayed or canceled. Depending on the result of such Payment Review, Priority IR may take any action it deems appropriate with regard to such payment, including declining the payment, refunding the payment, or continuing to hold the payment pending instructions from a government agency with competent jurisdiction over the matter. You release Priority IR from any and all liabilities arising from any actions taken pursuant to this paragraph.

Priority IR may request information from you relating to your use of the Services to confirm whether or not you are using the Services in connection with any illegal activity or Restricted Activity. You agree to cooperate with us in any investigation and to provide any information as we may reasonably request.
If we have reason to believe that you have engaged in any illegal activity or Restricted Activity, we reserve the right to, in our sole discretion and at any time, take any or all of the following actions:
-
-
- Close, suspend, or limit your access to your Account or the Services;
- Hold, return, or reclaim funds;
- Update inaccurate information you provided to PassportPay;
- Refuse to provide Services to you in the future;
- Contact your bank or notify other Users, law enforcement, or impacted third parties of your actions as permitted by applicable laws;
- Take legal action against you.

4.3. Fees
In consideration for the Services, you agree to pay us a fee for each payment you submit, in addition to the payment amount (the “Service Fee”). Service Fees, including any taxes or charges, will be disclosed upfront before confirming the payment. Service Fees may vary based on Recipient country and other factors and are subject to change.
The exchange rate applicable to your payment submission will be provided at the time of initiating the payment. We may make money when you pay for a payment submission in one currency and the payment is paid out in another currency because of the difference between the exchange rate at which we buy foreign currency and the exchange rate provided to you at the time of your submission. Exchange rates may fluctuate based on Recipient’s country and other factors and are subject to market conditions.
We are not responsible for fees that may be imposed by financial institutions associated with your Card payment. For example, some Issuing Banks may treat the use of your Card in connection with the Services as a “cash advance” and may impose additional fees and interests for the payment. We are not responsible for chargeback fees, or other, similar charges that might be imposed on you by your Issuing Bank, or other provider. If you submit a payment that results in Priority IR being charged a fee or another amount because your Card is not used in an authorized manner, or with insufficient credit, we will notify you of the amount we were charged, and you agree to promptly pay us such amount.
When you use our Services, other third parties may level fees, costs, or other liabilities against you. These third-parties may include your Issuing Bank, phone provider, or internet service provider. For example, your phone and/or internet service provider may charge you fees relating to data or messaging services. You (and not Priority IR) are responsible for any fees, charges, costs, and/or expenses charged by such third parties in connection with your use of our Services. Please check your agreements with these third-party providers for details on any of these additional costs.
4.4. Refunds; Error Resolution; Cancellations
Following a payment submission, you may request a refund. You may contact Priority IR at support@mypassportpay.com. Refunds for canceled payment submissions will be returned to the Wallet or original Payment Method used for the payment submission within ten (10) business days, though the availability and process of refunds could exceed ten (10) business days depending on your Issuing Bank. Priority IR is unable to issue partial refunds. For PassportPay, we are not able to issue refunds if the Recipient has received the payment, in which case you should contact your Recipient directly to request a refund.
You can attempt to cancel your payment submission at any time prior to the funds being disbursed to the Recipient. Once the funds have been disbursed, the payment submission cannot be reversed. Upon receipt of a cancellation request, we will confirm whether the payment submission has been completed prior to initiating a refund. Priority IR’s ability to stop or cancel a payment submission depends on the payment method you select to disburse the funds to your Recipient and the time when you submit your cancellation request. If we can cancel the payment submission, we will refund the payment amount and taxes that we charged you as part of the payment submission. The payment amount will not be refunded after the completion of the payment submission.
You have a right to dispute errors in your payment submission. If you believe that an error has occurred with your payment submission, you must contact us within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date that you submitted your payment at support@mypassportpay.com.
4.5. Returns; Abandoned Property
If any payment we sent to your Recipient is returned, we will notify you. If we have information about why the payment is returned, we will include such information in the notification. Once a payment is returned, it is considered completed, and we will promptly refund the payment we received to the Wallet or original Payment Method, less any applicable Fees, if any, by crediting such amount to the Card used for the payment.
Georgia has unclaimed property laws that govern when accounts are considered abandoned. Your Account is usually considered abandoned if your Account has a balance, and we are unable to either pay that amount to the Recipient or return it to you for five years. We are required by the unclaimed property laws to turn over accounts considered abandoned to the applicable state. Before we turn over an abandoned account, we may send a notice to you by email or to the address we have for the Account. Unless prohibited by law, we may charge to your Account our costs and expenses of any notice, payment and turnover of the balance of your Account to the applicable state. Georgia laws will apply to unclaimed or abandoned property related to the Account.
4.6. Issues and Inquiries
If you have any payment-related questions, please contact support@mypassportpay.com and provide any relevant transaction IDs in your messages. Transaction IDs are presented on your payment confirmation page and email notifications. When you contact us, we may require you to provide information to verify your identity before providing any information to you or making any changes you request.
If a payment issue can be traced to some deficiency or defect in the Services, Priority IR will use commercially reasonable efforts to correct the issue and fulfill its responsibilities under this Agreement. You agree that Priority IR is not liable for any costs you may incur or any difficulty you may encounter arising from actions we take in the process of investigating or rectifying a payment issue.
You are responsible for confirming the correctness and completeness of your payment information at the time of submission, even if such information was pre-filled by Priority IR or a third party. You are solely responsible for any consequences resulting from any incorrect or incomplete information.
Once a payment is processed, it must be completed. Priority IR cannot resend electronic payments. If your Recipient has misplaced, disposed of, or not received your payment, we can cancel it and provide a refund as provided herein. You may re-submit the payment using the Services.
4.7. Satisfactory Goods and Services; Other Payment Disputes
By submitting a payment using the Services, you represent and warrant to Priority IR that you are making the payment voluntarily, the amount is accurate, and you will not charge back or dispute it. If the payment is for goods or services provided by the Recipient to a third party on whose behalf the payment is being made, such third party is satisfied with the goods or services received. You also agree not to use the Services to dispute or reverse payments for goods or services solely based on dissatisfaction.
If you nonetheless desire to contest a payment made using the Services, you should work directly with the Recipient to resolve the dispute. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide relevant information with regard to the payment at issue. You acknowledge and agree that we are not a party to any dispute between you and your Recipient have no responsibility to you or any third party with regard to such dispute. You agree to make us whole regardless of the outcome of any such dispute. If any payment is reversed, you agree to pay to us all amounts owed to us, including, without limitation, any amount we delivered to your Recipient, as applicable, any related fees, and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by us for the collection of all amounts owed.

IN ADDITION, EXCEPT WITH REGARD TO PRIORITY IR’S OBLIGATIONS TO DISBURSE PAYMENTS HEREUNDER AND LIABILITIES ARISING FROM PRIORITY IR’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, PRIROITY IR’S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE TOTAL FEES RECEIVED BY PRIORITY IR IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS PRECEDING THE DATE THE FIRST CLAIM AROSE, REGARDLESS OF THE NUMBER OF CLAIMS OR THE FORM OF ACTION OR DAMAGES.
You acknowledge and agree that you are not obligated to use the Services and that except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, Priority IR assumes no liability whatsoever in connection with your use of the Services.

You shall not settle any such Claim without the Indemnified Party’s priority consent, which consent shall not be unreasonable withheld or delayed, unless such settlement totally exonerates the Indemnified Party with regard to such Claim.

5.13. Intellectual Property Infringement
(a) If the use of the Website or the Services (collectively, the “PassportPay Properties”) is held to, or if Priority IR reasonably believes the use of any PassportPay Property is likely to be held to, constitute an infringement or misappropriation of any intellectual property rights of a third party, Priority IR may, at its option and expense, (i) procure for User the right to continue using the applicable PassportPay Property; (ii) replace the applicable PassportPay Property with a non-infringing, non-misappropriating and functionally equivalent service or technology; (iii) modify the applicable PassportPay Property so that it is not infringing or misappropriating; or (iv) if options (i)-(iii) are not commercially reasonable as determined in Priority IR’s reasonable discretion, terminate this Agreement.

5.17. Arbitration
YOU HAVE READ THIS PROVISION CAREFULLY AND UNDERSTAND THAT IT LIMITS YOUR RIGHTS IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND US. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REJECT THIS PROVISION AS PROVIDED IN THE SECTIONS BELOW.
Election to Arbitrate. You and Priority IR agree that all Claims relating to this Agreement and the Services will be resolved solely and finally by binding arbitration pursuant to this section (the “Arbitration Provision”), unless you opt out as provided below. As used in this Arbitration Provision, “Claim” shall include any past, present, or future claim, dispute, or controversy involving you (or persons claiming through or connected with you), on the one hand, and us on the other hand, relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Services, including (except to the extent provided otherwise in the section below) the validity or enforceability of this Arbitration Provision, any part thereof, or the entire Agreement. Claims are subject to arbitration regardless whether they arise from contract, tort (intentional or otherwise), statute, common law, principles of equity, or otherwise, except that both you and Priority IR retain the right: (a) to bring an individual action in small claims court (a “Small Claims Action”); (b) to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened breach of confidentiality obligations, infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights (an “IP Protection Action”); and (c) to bring an action seeking only injunctive relief, in a court of competent jurisdiction. Claims include matters arising as initial claims, counter‐claims, cross-claims, third-party claims, or otherwise. The scope of this Arbitration Provision is to be given the broadest possible interpretation that is enforceable.
Applicability of the Federal Arbitration Act; Arbitrator’s Powers. This Arbitration Provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce and shall be governed by and enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act (the “FAA”). The arbitrator will apply substantive law consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations. The arbitrator may award damages or other types of relief permitted by applicable substantive law, subject to the limitations set forth in this Arbitration Provision. The arbitrator will not be bound by judicial rules of procedure and evidence that would apply in a court. The arbitrator shall take steps to reasonably protect confidential information.
Opt-out. You may opt out of this Arbitration Provision for all purposes by sending an arbitration opt out notice to legaldepartment@prth.com, within thirty (30) days of the date of your electronic acceptance of the terms of this Agreement (such notice, an “Arbitration Opt-Out Notice”). The opt out notice must clearly state that you are rejecting arbitration; identify the Agreement to which it applies by date; provide your name, address, and be signed by you. If you don’t provide Priority IR with an Arbitration Opt-Out Notice within the thirty (30) day period, you will be deemed to have knowingly and intentionally waived your right to litigate any Dispute except with regard to a Small Claims Action, IP Protection Action, or to bring an action seeking only injunctive relief, as expressly set forth above.
Informal Dispute Resolution. If a Claim arises, our goal is to learn about and address your concerns and, if we are unable to do so to your satisfaction, to provide you with a neutral and cost-effective means of resolving the dispute quickly. You agree that before filing any claim in arbitration, you may submit Claims by sending an email to legaldepartment@prth.com at any time.
Unless consented to in writing by all parties to the arbitration, an award in arbitration shall determine the rights and obligations of the named parties only, and only with respect to the claims in arbitration, and shall not (a) determine the rights, obligations, or interests of anyone other than a named party, or resolve any Claim of anyone other than a named party; nor (b) make an award for the benefit of, or against, anyone other than a named party. No administrator or arbitrator shall have the power or authority to waive, modify, or fail to enforce this section, and any attempt to do so, whether by rule, policy, arbitration decision or otherwise, shall be invalid and unenforceable. Any challenge to the validity of this section shall be determined exclusively by a court and not by the administrator or any arbitrator.
Procedures. The party initiating arbitration shall do so with Judicial Alternatives and Mediation Services (“JAMS”). Claims involving claims and counterclaims with an amount in controversy under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’ most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules; all other Claims shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. The arbitration shall be conducted according to, and the location of the arbitration shall be determined in accordance with, the rules and policies of the administrator selected, except to the extent the rules conflict with this Arbitration Provision or any countervailing law. If you have any questions concerning JAMS or would like to obtain a copy of the JAMS arbitration rules, you may call 1(800) 352-5267 or visit their web site at: www.jamsadr.com. In the case of a conflict between the rules and policies of the administrator and this Arbitration Provision, this Arbitration Provision shall control, subject to countervailing law, unless all parties to the arbitration consent to have the rules and policies of the administrator apply.
Fees; costs. Each party to the arbitration shall bear the expense of its own attorneys’ fees, except as otherwise provided by law. If either party prevails in the arbitration of any Claim against the other, the non-prevailing party will reimburse the prevailing party for any fees it paid to JAMS in connection with the arbitration, as well as for any reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the prevailing party in connection with such arbitration or collection. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are a consumer using the Services for personal purposes, we will pay all filing, administrative, hearing and arbitrator fees if you act in good faith, cannot get a waiver of such fees and ask us to pay; and if you win an arbitration you initiate (meaning you recover more than we offered before the arbitration), we will pay your reasonable fees and costs for attorneys, experts and witnesses. If you are a consumer, we will always pay these amounts if required under applicable law or the administrator’s rules or if payment is required to enforce this Arbitration Provision.
Decision. The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the administrator rules. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Any decision rendered in such arbitration proceedings will be final and binding on the parties, and judgment may be entered in a court of competent jurisdiction.
If there is a final judicial determination that applicable law precludes enforcement of this Arbitration Provision’s limitations as to a particular claim for relief or particular term, then that claim (and only that claim) or that term (and only that term) must be severed from the Arbitration Provision and may be brought in court. If an arbitration is brought on a class, representative, or collective basis, and the limitations on such proceedings are finally adjudicated to be unenforceable, then no arbitration shall be had. In no event shall any invalidation be deemed to authorize an arbitrator to determine Claims or make awards beyond those authorized in this Arbitration Provision.
5.18. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
In the United States, this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with all applicable federal laws and all applicable substantive laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to conflicts of laws principles. In addition, we are subject to certain federal and state regulations and local clearing house rules governing the subject matter of the Agreement. You understand that we must comply with these laws, regulations and rules. You agree that if there is any inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and any applicable law, regulation or rule, the terms of this Agreement will prevail to the extent any such law, regulation or rule may be modified by agreement.
5.19. Waiver of Jury Trial and Class Action
THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING ANY CLAIM RELATING TO OR ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ALL DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE RESOLVED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS WITHOUT RESORT TO ANY FORM OF CLASS ACTION AND SHALL NOT BE CONSOLIDATED WITH THE CLAIMS OF ANY OTHER PERSON. EACH PARTY FURTHER AGREES TO WAIVE, AND HEREBY WAIVES, THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR TO LITIGATE OR ARBITRATE ON A CLASS-WIDE BASIS AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY.
5.20. Assignment
You may not transfer or assign any rights or obligations you have under this Agreement without Priority IR’s prior written consent. Priority IR reserves the right to transfer or assign this Agreement or any right or obligation under this Agreement at any time.
5.21. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies
No waiver of any provisions of this Agreement by Priority IR will be valid unless such waiver is in writing and signed by an authorized officer of Priority IR. A waiver of one provision does not operate as a future waiver of that or any other provision of this Agreement.
The remedies for Priority IR set forth in this Agreement are cumulative and in addition to any other remedies available to Priority IR at law or in equity. The exercise of any remedy hereunder does not preclude the exercise of any other remedies.
5.22. Language
If you decide to use our Services, you expressly agree that the Agreement between you and us and any associated documents will be in the English language only.
