1. Visa Checkout Lite
Visa Checkout Lite is operated by Visa Worldwide Pte. Ltd. (“Visa”). Contact information for Visa is included under Contact Us below.
As used in these Terms, the term "Visa Solution" shall mean all of the following: all Visa Checkout Lite features, functionality and services, now available or added in the future, whether available through an application or functionality offered by an issuing bank or payment institution, merchant, or other third party by whatever name called (collectively, "Services"); the logos, designs, text, images, videos, graphics, software and other content and materials of Visa or its licensors available through Visa Checkout Lite , and the selection and arrangement thereof (collectively, "Content"); and Visa's hardware, software and networks associated with making Visa Checkout Lite available to you (collectively, the "Visa Solution System").
The Visa Solution offers you (i) the ability to store payment account ("Card Details") for your Visa credit, debit and reloadable prepaid cards and other cards or payment methods that Visa has decided are eligible to be used with the Visa Solution ("Eligible Cards"); and (ii) the ability to use the Visa Solution as a method of payment at specified merchants, or other third parties.
When you use the Visa Solution as a payment method, we will transmit your payment and related information to the merchant, or other applicable third party, in order to allow them to process the transaction.
You agree that the merchant or other applicable third party can transmit information about the transaction to the applicable network for your Eligible Card and that your transaction will be paid for using the Eligible Card you have selected. While the Visa Solution helps facilitate the transaction, Visa is not a party to the transaction and the payment to or from a merchant in connection with your use of the Visa Solution, including the purchase or return of goods or services, is solely between you and the merchant.
If you require a refund or reversal of any transaction completed using the Visa Solution, you must contact the applicable merchant and/or the financial institution or other entity which issued the Eligible Card (each, an "Issuer") you used for the transaction. Please remember that Visa is not a party to the transaction, and thus Visa is not able to resolve any such issues that you may have with the transaction.
You acknowledge that the Card Details stored or provided through use of the Visa Solution are provided by you or, in certain jurisdictions, on your behalf by your Issuer or a merchant or third party, and contain personal financial information. You may only use Cards in connection with the Visa Solution if your Issuer regards you as the cardholder or authorized user. You acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the Card Details and other information you store with the Visa Solution or provide through use of the Visa Solution. Although Visa may perform certain validation checks for Card Details for Visa cards, Visa is not responsible for the accuracy of Card Details or the other information you provide, including whether Card Details are current and up-to-date. However, you understand that if your Issuer is entitled to provide updated information about your Eligible Cards (such as a new card number or expiry date) to third parties, your Issuer may also provide that information to us.
The Visa Solution is not a bank or payment account and does not offer any credit to you or a merchant. Any transaction that you make using the Visa Solution will be reflected in the account which relates to the Eligible Card you use for the transaction. Payment of that account is solely a matter between you and the Issuer of the Eligible Card.
2. Service Terms
The Visa Solution may not be available to all Eligible Cards. Furthermore, Visa may, in its sole discretion, remove Eligible Cards from the Visa Solution or prevent Eligible Cards from being registered, and Visa may also revise at any time the eligibility of specific or general credit, debit and reloadable prepaid cards and other cards or payment methods that constitute Eligible Cards.

This section contains an arbitration provision. Please read this provision carefully. It provides that any claim relating to the Visa Solution or these terms shall be resolved by binding arbitration. Pre-hearing discovery rights and post-hearing appeal rights will be limited, but the arbitrator can award damages and relief as permitted under these terms.
Any dispute, cause of action, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to the Visa Solution or these Terms, including the formation, interpretation, breach, performance, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity of these Terms, the validity and enforcement of this provision, and the determination of the scope or applicability of the agreement to arbitrate (referred to in this section as a "Dispute") that can be subject to arbitration, shall be resolved exclusively pursuant to the process and arbitration clause set out in this section. This arbitration clause only applies to Disputes with Visa regarding the Visa Solution. If you have a dispute with your eligible card issuer you must resolve that dispute with your Issuer.
Any arbitration between you and Visa shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to JAMS’ International Arbitration Rules to the extent that those rules do not conflict with this provision. You may obtain a copy of these rules by contacting JAMS at 1-800-352-5267, by writing to JAMS at 620 Eighth Avenue, 34th Floor, New York, NY 10018 or online at www.jamsadr.com or www.jamsinternational.com/.
Any claim shall be arbitrated on an individual basis. This means that both you and Visa are prohibited from joining or consolidating claims in arbitration by or against others unless both you and Visa agree otherwise in writing, and you and Visa are prohibited from arbitrating any claims as a representative or member of a class. By entering into these terms, you and Visa are each waiving the right to participate in a class action. The arbitration will take place before one arbitrator. The arbitration shall (i) be conducted by telephone, online and/or be solely based on written submissions, the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration; and (ii) not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties. If you and Visa cannot agree on an arbitrator, the arbitrator will be appointed according to JAMS procedures.
You may elect to hire an advocate, but are not required to do so. Each party will be responsible for its own legal fees and costs, unless awarded by the arbitrator under applicable law. The party that initiates the arbitration will pay the filing fee (unless otherwise dictated by JAMS due to a finding of hardship). Visa will advance all other administration, case management and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration, through payment directly to JAMS. At the end of the arbitration, the fees paid by Visa may be allocated between you and Visa at the direction of the arbitrator in compliance with JAMS procedures.
All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision. Any decision of the arbitrator shall be final. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. Visa’s liability is limited as described in Section 12 above, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
These Terms and the rights of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware exclusive of conflict or choice of law rules.
