PayPal Website Payments Pro and Virtual Terminal Agreement
PayPal Website Payments Pro and Virtual Terminal Agreement
Last Update: May 19, 2018
This PayPal Website Payments Pro – Hosted Solution / Virtual Terminal Agreement ("Pro/VT Agreement") is a contract between you (also referred to as "Merchant") and PayPal Hong Kong Limited ("PayPal", "we", "us" or "our" as the context may require). You agree that any use by you of the PayPal Services will constitute your acceptance of this Pro/VT Agreement and we recommend that you store or print-off a copy of this Pro/VT Agreement.
This Pro/VT Agreement applies to your use of the Products. To proceed with obtaining one or more of the Products, you must read, agree with and accept all of the terms and conditions contained in this Pro/VT Agreement.
We may make changes to this Pro/VT Agreement by giving notice of such change by posting a revised version of this Pro/VT Agreement on the PayPal website(s). You will be deemed to have accepted the change after you have received notice of it. We will give you 30 days’ notice of any change with the change taking effect once the 30 day notice period has passed. The 30 day notice period will not apply where a change relates to the addition of a new service, extra functionality to the existing PayPal Services or any other change which we believe in our reasonable opinion to neither reduce your rights nor increase your responsibilities. In such instances, the change will be made without notice to you and will be effective immediately upon giving notice of it.
If you do not accept any change, you must close your PayPal Account following the account closure procedure set out in the User Agreement. If you do not object to a change by closing your PayPal Account within the 30 day notice period, you will be deemed to have accepted it. While you may close your PayPal Account at any time and without charge, please note that you may still be liable to us after you terminate this Pro/VT Agreement for any liabilities you may have incurred and are responsible for prior to terminating this Pro/VT Agreement and please further note our rights under the User Agreement.
Capitalised terms are defined below.
1. Setting up and activating your Product
- Getting started. To obtain and use your Product, you must first do all of the following:
- Complete the online application process for your Product, open a PayPal Business Account (if you do not already have one), and follow the instructions provided by PayPal to access and use your Product.
- Integrate your Product into the payment process of your website, if your Product is Website Payments Pro – Hosted Solution. You are not required to integrate your Product into the payment process of your website if you only access and use Virtual Terminal. PayPal is not responsible for any problems that could occur by integrating your Product into your 'live' website. You are solely responsible for choosing, setting, integrating and customising your Product and ensuring that it suits your needs.
- Parity among payment methods. In displaying payment options on your website, you must display the logos of PayPal and the Card Associations with size and prominence equal among themselves and among those of other payment methods. You must not display a preference for one payment method over another. In using PayPal’s logo and buttons, you also agree to comply with the logo usage standards located at: https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/logos-buttons.
- Credit report authorisation. You agree to allow PayPal to obtain from a third party your credit history and financial information about your ability to perform your obligations under this Pro/VT Agreement in the manner set out in the PayPal Privacy Policy. PayPal will review your credit and other risk factors of your PayPal Account (reversals and chargebacks, customer complaints, claims etc.) on an ongoing basis. PayPal will store, use and disclose the information obtained in conformity with PayPal’s Privacy Policy. If PayPal considers it relevant to assessing your application for commercial credit, you agree to PayPal obtaining from a credit reporting agency a credit report containing personal credit information about you in relation to commercial credit provided by PayPal.
- Cancellation. PayPal may decline your application for the Product due to your credit history, PayPal history, or for any other reason in PayPal’s discretion. You agree and acknowledge that we and/or our agents reserve the right in our sole discretion to reject your application and enrolment for the Product and PayPal may limit your access to or use of the Product without any further obligation to you.
2. Fees
In consideration of PayPal providing the PayPal Services to you, you agree to pay the fees in the amount as notified to you by PayPal separately.
3. Information security; Data Protection
- Compliance with Data Security Schedule. You agree to comply with Schedule 1 below, which forms part of this Pro/VT Agreement.
- PCI DSS compliance. You also agree to comply with the PCI Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) as they may apply to you in your specific circumstances. You must protect all Card Data that comes within your control according to PCI DSS, and you must design, maintain and operate your website and other systems in conformity with PCI DSS. PayPal is not responsible for any costs that you incur in complying with PCI DSS.
- Audit. If PayPal receives an indication of a security breach involving your website or of a possible compromise of Card Data, PayPal may require you to have an independent third party auditor, approved by PayPal, conduct a security audit of your systems and facilities and issue a report. You agree to comply with PayPal’s request under this clause at your own expense. You must provide a copy of the auditor’s report to PayPal, and PayPal may provide copies of it to the banks (including, without limitation, Acquiring Institutions) and Card Associations involved in processing card transactions for PayPal. If you do not initiate a security audit within 10 business days of PayPal’s request, PayPal may conduct or obtain such an audit at your expense. PayPal may advise Shared Customers, if PayPal has reason to believe that a fraud or other illegitimate activity may be occurring or may have occurred, and if PayPal reasonably believes that the fraud or other illegitimate activity may affect those Shared Customers’ PayPal Accounts.
- Security of Card Data. Unless you receive and record the express consent of the cardholder:
- You may not retain, track, monitor or store any Card Data, or use Card Data beyond the scope of the specific transaction for which Card Data was given, and
- You must completely remove all Card Data from your systems, and any other place where you store Card Data, within 24 hours after you receive an authorisation decision relevant to that Card Data.
If, with the cardholder’s consent, you retain Card Data, you may do so only to the extent that the Card Data are necessary for processing your payment transactions. You must never give or disclose the retained Card Data to anyone, not even as part of the sale of your business. Moreover, and regardless of anything to the contrary, you must never retain or disclose the CVV2 Data, not even with the cardholder’s consent.
- Price and currency. You may not submit payment transactions in which the amount is the result of dynamic currency conversion. This means that you may not list an item in one currency and then accept payment in a different currency. If you are accepting payments in more than one currency, you must separately list the price for each currency.
-
Compliance with Data Protection Schedule. You agree (as a “Merchant”) to comply with Schedule 2 below, which forms part of this Agreement. The terms of the Data Protection Schedule prevail over any conflicting terms in this Agreement relating to data protection and privacy.
4. User Agreement
- User Agreement applies. The terms of the User Agreement apply to you and are incorporated by reference into this Pro/VT Agreement. The definition of “PayPal Services” in the User Agreement will be amended to include your Product, and the definition of “Agreement” will include this Pro/VT Agreement. In case of any inconsistency between this Pro/VT Agreement and the User Agreement, this Pro/VT Agreement supersedes the User Agreement, but only to the extent of that inconsistency. The User Agreement includes important provisions which:
- Permit PayPal to take a Reserve to secure your obligation to pay chargebacks, reversals and fees;
- Obligate you to follow PayPal’s Acceptable Use Policy in your use of PayPal Services;
- Give legal effect to PayPal’s Privacy Policy, which governs our use and disclosure of your information and that of Shared Customers; and
- Permit PayPal to restrict a payment or your PayPal Account in circumstances listed in the User Agreement.
- Failed payments and Product tools. You are responsible for chargebacks, reversals and other invalidated payments as provided in the User Agreement, regardless of how you use and configure your Product, including its fraud filtering technology and similar preventive tools (if any). Those tools can be useful in detecting fraud and avoiding payment failures, but they do not affect your responsibility and liability pursuant to the User Agreement for chargebacks, reversals and payments which are otherwise invalidated.
5. Software Licence
- Licence. PayPal hereby grants to you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, non-sublicenseable, limited license to
- use your Product in accordance with the documentation provided on the PayPal Website; and to
- use the documentation provided by PayPal for your Product and reproduce it for internal use only within your business. Your Product as licensed is subject to change and will evolve along with the rest of the PayPal system; see clause 8(a). You must comply with the implementation and use requirements contained in all PayPal documentation and instructions accompanying the Product issued by PayPal from time to time (including, without limitation, any implementation and use requirements we impose on you to comply with applicable laws and card scheme rules and regulations).
- ID codes. PayPal will provide you with certain identifying codes specific to you. Use of those codes may be necessary for the PayPal system to process instructions from you (or your website). You agree to follow reasonable safeguards advised by PayPal from time to time in order to protect the security of those identifying codes; see also Schedule 1. If you fail to protect the security of the codes as advised, you must notify PayPal as soon as possible, so that PayPal can cancel and re-issue the codes. PayPal may also cancel and re-issue the codes if it has reason to believe that their security has been compromised, and after notifying you whenever notice can reasonably be given.
- No warranty. Your Product and all accompanying documentation are provided to you on an “as is” basis. PayPal does not give or offer any warranty, express or implied, by operation of law or otherwise, in relation to your Product, the licensed software or user documentation provided. Nothing provided by PayPal under this Pro/VT Agreement or otherwise for your Product has PayPal’s authorisation to include a warranty, and no obligation or liability will arise or grow out of PayPal’s rendering of technical, programming or other advice or service in connection with any Product, licensed software and user document provided (including, without limitation, services that may assist you with the customisation of your Product). PayPal recommends that you test the implementation of your Product thoroughly as PayPal is not responsible for any loss caused by a defect in it.
6. Banking terms for Card Transactions
PayPal utilises services from banking (including, without limitation, acquiring) partners in processing Card Transactions, including both direct payments to you from a card as well as Card Transactions that fund a PayPal payment to you. Schedule 3 below applies in relation to those services. In accepting this Pro/VT Agreement, you also accept the terms for Card Transactions in Schedule 3, the terms of which form part of this Pro/VT Agreement.
7. Termination and suspension
- By you. You may terminate this Pro/VT Agreement by doing either of the following:
- Cancelling your billing agreement in the Preferences section of your PayPal Account or giving 10 days notice to PayPal Customer Service of your intent to terminate this Pro/VT Agreement. PayPal Customer Service will confirm termination via email. This option lets you stop using your Product and paying for it, but your PayPal Account remains open and its User Agreement remains in effect.
- Closing the PayPal Account that you use with your Product (see the User Agreement for more information).
- By PayPal. PayPal may terminate this Pro/VT Agreement by doing any of the following:

If you nevertheless use a Product after termination of this Pro/VT Agreement, then this Pro/VT Agreement will continue to apply to your use of that Product until you give effect to the termination by stopping your use of that Product. The following clauses in this Pro/VT Agreement will survive termination of this Pro/VT Agreement and continue in full force and effect: Clauses 2, 4(a), 8(b), 8(d). Termination of this Pro/VT Agreement will not affect any rights, remedies or obligations of the parties that have accrued or become due prior to termination, and you will not be entitled to a refund of any Monthly Fee paid prior to termination.
- Breach and suspension. If you breach this Pro/VT Agreement, the User Agreement, or a security requirement imposed by PCI DSS, PayPal may immediately suspend your use of your Product. PayPal may require you to take specified corrective actions to cure the breach and have the suspension lifted, although nothing in this Pro/VT Agreement precludes PayPal from pursuing any other remedies it may have for breach. In addition, if PayPal reasonably suspects that you may be in breach of this Pro/VT Agreement or PCI DSS, PayPal may suspend your use of your Product pending further investigation.
