Data Security Requirements
When processing the personal data of cardholders whose transaction data the Merchant submits to PayPal, PayPal will, at all times, ensure that the security measures employed in respect of the storage, transmission or any other processing of such personal data:
Bank Agreements
PayPal uses services from third parties to process card transactions. The relevant agreement is located at https://www.paypal.com/sg/webapps/mpp/ua/ceagreement-full?locale.x=en_SG (Commercial Entity Agreement for PayPal Payment Card Funded Processing Services).
Terms of use of the Fraud Protection Tools
The waiver of Chargeback Costs does not apply to any fees charged by third parties involved in processing the transaction and managing Chargeback claims, including but not limited to financial institutions, banks, and Card Associations. These third parties may assess additional fees related to Chargebacks which cannot be waived by PayPal and will be passed through to you at the amounts established by those third parties.
It is your sole responsibility to provide any necessary notices and disclosures to, and obtain any required consents from, your customers on your website or mobile application relating to your use of the Chargeback Protection Tools. You acknowledge and agree that PayPal does not represent or warrant that its risk assessment as part of Chargeback Protection Tools will be error free or that it will identify or prevent all fraudulent transaction activity.
There are two types of Chargeback Protection Tools:
By enrolling, you acknowledge and agree that PayPal is waiving its right to recover certain chargeback-related amounts from you. The waiver does not constitute an insurance policy or contract under any applicable insurance laws; it is a complementary service provided by PayPal, subject to your payment of cost-sharing and administrative fees and your continued compliance with all eligibility requirements. PayPal reserves the right to suspend or terminate this service under the conditions listed in section 8, including material breach of this Agreement or misrepresentations made in your application.
Chargeback Protection cannot be used simultaneously with Fraud Protection or Fraud Protection Advanced on the same account. Upon enrolling in a Chargeback Protection Tool, your use and access to Fraud Protection or Fraud Protection Advanced may automatically be terminated.
“Eligible Transactions” do not include any of the following:
To the extent you submit an ineligible transaction for review through the Chargeback Protection Tool, PayPal may, at its option, perform the CBT Risk Assessment for that ineligible transaction and charge you the agreed upon fee for the Chargeback Protection Tool. However, such ineligible transactions will not receive the other benefits of the Chargeback Protection Tools.
In addition, where the item sold is a ticket(s) for a future event, to be an Eligible Chargeback:
The value entered in the "Days before the event date" field must include both the date of the event and the date of the transaction, and cannot be zero, blank, negative, or a fractional number. If the date of the transaction is the same as the event date, the "Days before the event date" is 1.
By way of illustration, if tickets are purchased on August 1 for an event occurring on August 10, the “Days before the event date” value sent at the time of the transaction must be 10, and a Chargeback must be received by PayPal on or after August 4 in order to be an Eligible Chargeback. If the event is rescheduled, a revised “Days before the event date” must be provided as above and a new Eligible Chargeback Window will begin.
If you choose to and are approved to change the Chargeback Protection Tool option you select, the change will take effect the next calendar day and will apply to Eligible Transactions that occur on that next calendar day after you change the Chargeback Protection Tool option.
If the Chargeback Receipt Date occurs in the same calendar month in which the chargeback-related transaction occurred, the Loss Cap Rate is calculated using the following formula:
Eligible Chargebacks received in the month of the transaction up to and including the Chargeback Receipt Date (divided by) Monthly Total Payment Volume received in that month up to and including the Chargeback Receipt Date.
If the Chargeback Receipt Date occurs after the calendar month in which the Chargeback-related transaction occurred, the Loss Cap Rate is calculated using the following formula:
Eligible Chargebacks received in the month of the transaction (divided by) Monthly Total Payment Volume of the month of the transaction;
For purposes of the Loss Cap Rate, “Monthly Total Payment Volume” means Merchant’s monthly, consolidated, successfully processed volume of Eligible Transactions for all accounts of or belonging to a single MID.
Any personal data provided to you by PayPal in connection with Fastlane will be used by you only to the extent it is necessary and relevant to Fastlane. It shall not be used for anything else (including marketing) unless you have obtained the prior consent of the customer. This excludes any personal data collected by you directly from the customer. You warrant that you will provide and/or obtain all necessary disclosures and consents in connection with any personal data provided to PayPal. You agree that you will only submit personal data coming from a genuine single customer transaction to PayPal through your use of Fastlane. Such transfer of data must be authorised by the customer.
You may not send any customer personal data provided to you by PayPal to a third party, unless such third party is your service provider (as defined by applicable law). You may not combine personal data provided to you by PayPal with any other data. You may not use any personal data provided to you by PayPal to send, or assist in sending, unsolicited emails to third parties.
The Data Portability part of the Card Agreement does not apply to the Fastlane services. Fastlane Card Information is not portable, including when you have been given consent by your customer to store data collected in connection with the Fastlane service.
Regardless of anything else in Schedule 6 or the Card Agreement, Card Information originating from Fastlane transactions (“Fastlane Card Information”) will not be included in the Data Portability services offered under the Card Agreement. Any termination or suspension of Fastlane will not automatically result in termination or suspension of the Card Agreement. Even if Fastlane is terminated or suspended, your use of Fastlane Card Information will be controlled by this Card Agreement.
