2.2.1. ShopeePay E-Wallet Service
The ShopeePay E-Wallet is a re-loadable E-Money instrument. While the Facility itself is ShopeePay, the E-Money is issued by ShopeePay. The ShopeePay E-Wallet is not a deposit account and therefore, it is not covered by the Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation (“PDIC”) and it does not earn interest. However, it is subject to the rules and regulations of the BSP and the Anti-Money Laundering Act (“AMLA”), as amended.
The ShopeePay E-Wallet can be activated upon completion of the registration process. The registration will require you to enter a valid phone number, corresponding one-time password, and other information as may be required as part of ShopeePay’s know-your-customer process. A user may only have one ShopeePay E-Wallet account.
In the event of any unauthorized use of the ShopeePay E-Wallet, ShopeePay shall not be liable for any inconvenience or damage caused to you unless proven to be caused by the fault or negligence of ShopeePay. Moreover, ShopeePay shall not be liable for any failure by you to avail of Services due to your non-compliance with the application requirements.
Ang “ShopeePay E-Wallet” ay isang re-loadable E-money na instrumento. Bagama’t ang Facility ay tinatawag na ShopeePay, ang mismong E-money ay issued ng ShopeePay. Ang Shopee Pay E-Wallet ay hindi deposit account kung kaya’t hindi ito sakop ng Deposit Insurance Corporation (“PDIC”) at hindi ito kumikita ng interes. Gayunpaman, ito ay sakop ng mga patakaran at regulasyon ng Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (“BSP”) at ng Anti-Money Laundering Act (“AMLA”).
Maaring simulang gamitin ang ShopeePay E-wallet matapos makumpleto ang proseso ng pagrehistro. Kinakailangan mong gamitin ang isang lehitimong phone number, isang one-time password, at iba pang impormasyon na kinakailangan makuha ng ShopeePay alinsunod sa aming know-your-customer process. Maari ka lang magkaroon ng isang ShopeePay E-Wallet account.
Sa kaganapan ng isang hindi awtorisadong paggamit ng ShopeePay E-Wallet dahil sa iyong pagkakamali o kapabayaan, naiintindihan mo at sumasangayon na ang ShopeePay ay hindi mananagot sa anumang abala o pinsala na maiduduulot sa iyo. Hindi mananagot ang ShopeePay kung sakaling hindi mo ganap na magamit ang mga Serbisyo ng ShopeePay dahil sa iyong di-pagsunod sa mga proseso at requirements ng aplikasyon.

You agree that: (a) you may receive or access user information of third persons (including, but not limited to, other ShopeePay users) and that you have the obligations in these Terms of Service and under applicable laws in relation to such user information; (b) other persons (including, but not limited to, ShopeePay, partner financial institutions, and/or other counterparties and/or other ShopeePay users) may receive or access your customer information and you consent and agree to such collection, use, sharing, disclosure, processing and/or storage of you customer information; and (c) we shall in no way be responsible and/or liable for any losses, damages, expenses and/or claims resulting from or in relation to the use of the multi-proxy service, the funds transfer through any method and/or the foregoing receipt and/or access of your or another person’s user information (including, but not limited to, any fraudulent or unauthorizes use of the same) and you shall indemnify us and hold us free and harmless for such losses, damages, liabilities, expenses and/or claims that we may incur in relation to the foregoing.
You acknowledge and agree that no liability shall be incurred by us if we are unable to complete any top-ups / transfers initiated by you for any reason beyond our control such as:
i. If, through no fault of ours, your Account does not contain sufficient funds or if the transfer would exceed the transactional limit set for your Account;
ii. Our payment processing center is not working properly and you know or have been advised by us about the malfunction before you execute the transfer;
iii. You have not provided us with the correct Account information, or information that you provided becomes incorrect; and/or
iv. Circumstances beyond our control (such as, but not limited to, fire, flood, or interference from an outside force), even if foreseeable or foreseen, that prevent the proper execution of the transfer and we have taken reasonable precautions to avoid those circumstances.
Subject to Section 2.2.2, and provided none of the foregoing exceptions are applicable, if we cause an incorrect amount of funds to be removed from your Account or causes funds from your Account to be directed in a manner inconsistent with your instructions, you agree that your sole remedy shall be to have the wrongly deducted sum returned to your Account by us.
Maaari mong lagyan ng Philippine Peso ang iyong ShopeePay E-Wallet sa pamamagitan ng iba ibang top up channels na magagamit sa Facility, tulad ng ngunit hindi limitado sa mga sumusunod:

(d) Remittance Center Payments,
(e) Payment or transfer through e-wallets or digital channels,
(f) Automated Payment Machines (APMs), at
(g) Iba pang mga channels na maaaring isama sa susunod.
Upang magawa ito, kailangan mong idirekta, at pahintulutan ang iyong napiling top up channel upang payagan ang Facility na maglipat ng mga pondo mula o para sa iyong itinalagang third party account o payment channel. Ang proseso upang makalipat ng pera ay ibibigay sayo. Sa pamamagitan ng pag-activate at pagkonekta sa iyong (mga) third party account o payment channel, kinukumpirma mo na (a) binigyan mo kami ng iyong pahintulot na gamitin ang iyong personal na impormasyon para sa serbisyo sa paggamit ng mga Serbisyo at upang magbigay ng naturang impormasyon na maaaring hinihiling ng iyong napiliting top up channel para sa layunin ng pagkonekta sa iyong (mga) third party account o payment channel sa ShopeePay E-Wallet; (b) legal na awtorisadong ma-access ang (mga) account sa third party account o payment channel na na-link mo sa iyong ShopeePay E-Wallet; at (c) babayaran mo o papayagan mo kaming ibawas mula sa iyong Account ang halaga ng paggamit ng Serbisyo ng ShopeePay.
Ang paglilipat ng pondo (tulad ng ngunit hindi limitado, sa mga pagbabayad) ay maaring gawin gamit ang Shopee username, account numbers, QR codes (tulad ng ngunit hindi limitado, sa QR PH standard) at/o multi-proxy service na maaring pahintulutan ang pagpapadala o pagtanggap ng pondo gamit ang ibang identipikasyon maliban sa account number (tulad ng ngunit hindi limitado sa, mobile phone number, email address, pangalan, QR code at / o iba pang impormasyon sa identipikasyon). Tinatanggap mo at pumapayag ka na (a) maaari kang makatanggap o makakuha ng impormasyon ng ibang tao (tulad ng ngunit hindi limitado, sa iba pang taong gumagamit ng ShopeePay) at ikaw ay may obligasyon dito sa Tuntunin ng Serbisoyo at iba pang naangkop na batas sa mga nasabing impormasyon; (b) may ibang mga tao (tulad ng ngunit hindi limitado, sa ShopeePay, partner financial institutions, at / o iba pang counterparties at /o iba pang gumagamit ng ShopeePay ay maaring makatanggap or makakuha ng iyong impormasyon, at ikaw ay pumapayag sa pagkolekta, paggamit, pamamahagi, pag-proseso, at/o pag-imbak ng iyong impormasyon, at (c) kami ay walang anuman responsibiildad at / o pananagutan sa anumang pagkawala, pagkasira, liabilidad, gastusin at / o reklamo na nagmumula or may kinalaman sa paggamit ng multi-proxy service, sa paglipat ng pondo gamit ang kahit anong paraan at / o sa pagtanggap o pagkuha ng impormasyon mo o ng ibang tao (tulad ng ngunit hindi limitado, sa mga madaya o walang pahintulot na paggamit nito) at ikaw ay magbabayad pinsala sa amin, at panghahawakan mo kaming malaya at walang pananagutan sa pagkawala, pagkasira, liabilidad, gastusin at/o reklamo na maaari naming matanggap na may kinalaman sa mga naunang nabanggit.
Tinatanggap mo at sumasang-ayon ka na wala kaming pananagutan sa kawalan ng kakayahang maisagawa ang top-up /transfer na sinimulan mo, sa kadahilanang labas ng aming kontrol, tulad ng:
i. Kung, hindi dulot ng aming pagkakamali, ang iyong Account ay hindi naglalaman ng sapat na pondo o kung ang transfer man ay lalampas ng nakatakdang transactional limit para sa iyong Account;
ii. Hindi gumagana nang maayos ang aming payment processing centee, at alam mo, o hindi kaya’t ikaw ay napayuhan na namin tungkol sa malfunction o sira bago mo isagawa ang transfer;
iii. Hindi mo kami nabigyan ng tamang impormasyon tungkol sa iyong Account, o ang impormasyon na binigay mo sa amin ay naging mali; at/o
iv. Mga pangyayari o kalagayang nasa labas ng aming kontrol (tulad ng, pero hindi limitado sa, sunog, baha, o panghihimasok galing sa labas na pwersa), kahit na ito ay nakikinita o makini-kinita, na nakakahadlang ito sa wastong pagsasagawa ng transfer at isinagawa naming ang mainam na hakbang upang maiwasan ang ganoong pangyayari.
Sakop sa Section 2.2.2., at kung wala sa mga unang nasabing eksepsiyon ay naangkop, kung mangyaring mali ang aming nabawasang pondo mula sa iyong Account o kung hindi naaayon sa iyong pamamaraan ang pagdirekta ng pondo, sumasang-ayon ka na ang nalalabing solusyon ay ang pagbalik ng maling ibinawas na kabuuan sa iyong Account
2.2.3. Cash-out
The Philippine Peso value cashed-in to the ShopeePay Wallet may be cashed-out by verified users through transfer to an approved Bank Account (if applicable) subject to minimum and maximum cash-out amounts as may be imposed by ShopeePay.
ShopeePay may add other withdrawal channels, and the Users shall be informed of such cash-out channels as well as information on how to use such added withdrawal channels.
Ang halaga ng Peso na napasok sa ShopeePay Wallet ay maaaring i-cash-out sa pamamagitan ng paglipat sa isang naaprubahang Bank Account na napapailalim sa minimum at maximum na halaga ng cash out na maaaring ipataw ng ShopeePay.
Maaring magdagdag ang ShopeePay ng iba pang withdrawal channels, at ito ay ipapaalam sa mga Users kasama ng informasyon kung paano gamitin ang mga nadagdag na withdrawal channels.
2.2.4. Transaction and E-Wallet Load Limit
Transaction and E-Wallet balance limits may be assigned or changed by ShopeePay, at its option pursuant to applicable laws. Limits are applied not on a per wallet basis but on a per-user basis. A ShopeePay user may only have one ShopeePay wallet under his/her name. If a ShopeePay user has attempted to register or has registered multiple ShopeePay wallets, such application shall be blocked or the other accounts must be terminated. ShopeePay may prohibit any user from using its Facility for attempting to register/registering/failing to delete multiple accounts.
Ang mga patakaran hinggil sa Transaksyon at E-Wallet ay maaaring baguhin ng ShopeePay, alinsunod sa mga naaangkop na batas. Ang mga limitasyon ay hindi pinapataw sa bawat wallet ngunit sa bawat taong gumagamit ng E-Wallet. Ang isang ShopeePay user ay maari lang magkaroon ng isang wallet ng ShopeePay sa ilalim ng kanyang pangalan. Kung ang isang ShopeePay user ay sinubukan or nagkaroon ng maraming mga wallet, haharangan ni ShopeePay ang aplikasyon na ito o kaya papatanggal ni ShopeePay ang mga iba pang mga wallets. Maaring ipagbawal ni ShopeePay ang paggamit ng Facility dahil sa pagtatangka na magparehistro / pagrehistro / pagtanggi na tanggalin ang maraming mga account.
2.2.5. ShopeePay E-Wallet Security
You shall be solely responsible for the security of your ShopeePay E-Wallet. All transactions made using the ShopeePay E-Wallet are conclusively presumed to be made by you and you shall be liable therefor. In the case of loss of mobile phone or loss of access to your Account, you shall immediately (a) inform ShopeePay of such loss and (b) log in to your Shopee account via the web and change your password since your ShopeePay Account is tied to your Shopee account. Suspension of the ShopeePay E-Wallet shall be processed only upon proper authentication of your notification. All transactions made prior to the report of loss shall continue to be your liability.
Ikaw ang magiging tanging responsable para sa seguridad ng iyong ShopeePay E-Wallet. Ang lahat ng mga transaksyon na ginawa gamit ang ShopeePay E-Wallet ay itinuturing na ginawa mo at ikaw ang siyang mananagot doon. Kung sakaling mawala ang mobile phone o mawalan ng access sa iyong Account, dapat agad mong (a) ipaalam agad sa ShopeePay ng naturang pagkawala, at (b) mag-log in sa iyong Shopee account gamit ang Web at baguihin and iyong password dahil nakadugtong ang iyong ShopeePay Account sa iyong Shopee account. Ang suspensyon ng ShopeePay E-Wallet ay ipoproseso lamang sa tamang pagpapatunay ng iyong pagabiso. Ang lahat ng mga transaksyon na ginawa bago ang ulat ng pagkawala ay patuloy na magiging pananagutan mo.
2.2.6. Payment Processing Services
You may make payment to a 3rd party, such as 3P Merchants through our Facility. By using our Services, you agree that we may use all information, including personal and billing information, provided by you to us in the course of using the Services (“Payment Instructions”). You acknowledge and agree that it is your sole responsibility to ensure that all your Payment Instructions are correct, complete and accurate in all respect and you understand that time is required to process your Payment Instructions. The Payment Instructions provided by you will be treated as final and we will not be required to verify the Payment Instructions with you. Further, by providing us with your Payment Instructions, you agree to pay or allow us to deduct from your Account all fees and charges associated with your Payment Instructions.
We are solely a payment agent and we shall not be responsible for any purchases with our Facility used as payment method. All types of feedback and complaints about your purchases should be directed to the relevant 3P Merchant. Your Payment Instructions may be made out through: (i) your Account balance, or (ii) bank transfer.
You may direct your bank to allow the Facility to transfer funds from your designated bank account to make payments. To assist you in this aspect, a step-by-step instruction will be provided and the same may be located within the Facility under “Add Bank Account”. You will be required to verify some personal information to activate the Services. By activating the Services, you confirm that (a) you have provided us with your consent to use your personal information for the use of the Services and to provide such information as may be required by the relevant 3P Merchant; (b) you are legally authorised to access the bank account(s) you have linked to your ShopeePay E-Wallet; and (c) you will pay or allow us to deduct from your Account all fees and charges associated with the use of the Services.
2.2.7. Refunds
Your Account may be used to receive refunds from a cancelled Transaction. The terms of such refunds shall continue to be subject to the terms of service applicable to the Transaction between you and the 3P Merchants.
In the event that:
a. the refund amount exceeds your ShopeePay e-wallet limit, such refund will be transferred to the default bank account linked to your Shopee account (“Default Account”); and
b. a single refund does not exceed your ShopeePay e-wallet limit, but the total value when aggregated with your ShopeePay wallet balance exceeds your ShopeePay wallet limit, such refund will be withheld by ShopeePay until you withdraw enough funds from your ShopeePay wallet such that your ShopeePay wallet limit is not exceeded as a result of the refund.
2.2.8. Errors
If there is an error in the processing of any Transaction, you authorize us to initiate debit or credit entries to your Account balance to correct such error, provided that any such correction is made in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. If we are unable to debit your Account balance for any reason, you authorize us to resubmit the debit, plus any applicable fees, or to deduct the debit and applicable fees from your Account balance in the future.
If you erroneously send a payment to the wrong party or send a payment for the wrong amount (based on a typographical error, for example), you must inform the recipient’s bank, non-bank credit card issuer, finance company or approved holder that issued the payment account (“Recipient Financial Institution”) of the erroneous Transaction. We will not reimburse you or reverse a payment that you have made in error.
Where we are the Recipient Financial Institution and we receive money for the wrong recipient, we will endeavor to (i) within two business days of receiving all necessary information about the erroneous Transaction (a) inform the recipient of the erroneous Transaction and all necessary information that would allow the recipient to determine if the Transaction was indeed erroneous; (b) ask the recipient for instructions on whether to send the sum sent in error back to the sender; and (c) inform the recipient that the retention or use of sums erroneously transferred may be subject to legal action; and (ii) within five business days of receiving all necessary information about the erroneous Transaction (a) ask the recipient for instructions whether to send the sum sent in error back to the account holder; and (b) inform the sender (or the sender’s financial institution) about the recipient’s response, including nil responses. In cases that we deem to be complex, we may take longer to convey these messages.
