2.2.1       ShopeePay E-Wallet Service 

The ShopeePay E-Wallet is a re-loadable E-Money instrument. While the Platform 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. 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 Platform 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, 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.

2.2.2       Top Up 

You can top up Peso value funds into the ShopeePay E-Wallet through:

(a)   Online Banking

(b)   Over-the-counter (OTC) transfers

(c)    Bank Transfer

(d)   Remittance Center Payments

(e)   Payment or transfer through e-wallets or digital channels

(f)   Automated Payment Machines (APMs)

(g)  Debit cards

You may transfer Philippine Peso from your qualified bank account, e-money wallet account,  accredited payment center, or debit card into your ShopeePay E-Wallet. To activate this top-up option, you may be required to instruct, direct, and authorize your bank to allow the Platform to transfer funds to and/or from your designated account or payment channel. To assist you in this aspect, a step by step instruction will be provided on the app. By activating and connecting your account(s) or payment channel(s), you confirm that (a) you have provided us with your consent to use your personal information for the e-money service and to provide such information as may be required by the bank for the purpose of connecting your account to the ShopeePay E-Wallet; (b) you are legally authorised to access the account(s) or payment channel(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.

You acknowledge and agree that no liability shall be incurred by us if we are unable to complete any 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 centre 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 10, 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.

Maaari mong ilipat ang Philippine Peso mula sa iyong kuwalipikadong bank account, e-money wallet account,  akreditadong payment center o debit card sa iyong ShopeePay E-Wallet. Upang magawa ito, kailangan mong idirekta, at pahintulutan ang iyong bangko upang payagan ang Platform na maglipat ng mga pondo mula o para sa iyong itinalagang account sa bangko o payment channel. Ang proseso upang makalipat ng pera ay makikita sa app. Sa pamamagitan ng pag-activate at pagkonekta sa iyong (mga) account sa bangko 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 ShopeePay E-wallet at upang magbigay ng naturang impormasyon na maaaring hinihiling ng bangko para sa layunin ng pagkonekta sa iyong account sa ShopeePay E-Wallet; (b) legal na awtorisadong ma-access ang (mga)  account sa bangko o payment channe na na-link mo sa iyong ShopeePay E-Wallet; at (c) babayaran mo o papayagan mo kaming ibawas mula sa iyong wallet o Account ang halaga ng paggamit ng Serbisyo ng ShopeePay.

Tinatanggap mo at sumasang-ayon ka na wala kaming pananagutan sa kawalan ng kakayahang maisagawa ang 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 centre, 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 10, 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 Peso value cashed-in to the ShopeePay Wallet may be cashed-out through transfer to an approved Bank Account (if applicable) subject to minimum and maximum cash-out amounts as may be imposed by ShopeePay.

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.

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. An ShopeePay user may only have one ShopeePay wallet under his/her name. If an 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 Platform 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 Platform 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, you shall immediately inform ShopeePay of such loss within twenty-four (24) hours. 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, dapat mong ipaalam agad sa ShopeePay ng naturang pagkawala sa loob ng dalawampu't apat (24) na oras. 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 Platform.

ii       Our payment processing centre is not working properly and you know or have been advised by us about the malfunction before you execute the Payment Instructions;

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 Payment Instructions and we have taken reasonable precautions to avoid those circumstances.

Subject to Section 10, 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 that does not comply with your instructions, you agree that your sole remedy shall be to have the wrongly deducted sum returned to your Account.  You agree and acknowledge to release and indemnify us against any damages, losses and claims from the third party in relation with the foregoing.
