By installing Beam equipment, using and operating transactions through Beam, the Partner now has, free of charge, access to its exclusive business portal, which allows it to learn about the preferences and consumption behaviors of Beam users who, through platform, carried out transactions at your establishment and gives you the ability to launch and manage your own promotional campaigns, aimed at attracting and retaining customers.

When we receive a payment from the Partner’s customer funding source, we may need to store the money in a reserve account as we believe there is a risk of cancellation by the funding provider.

However, this will only happen if we do not have all the information necessary to make the payment funds available and only while that risk exists.

 

8. Balance

When the Partner’s customer uses our platform to make a payment, they must have funds to cover the price of the good or service and other costs that may be due, otherwise they will not be able to complete the transaction.

 

9. Coins

The Partner is responsible for defining, among the currencies allowed by Beam, the currency or currencies in which they accept to receive payment of the purchase price.

The cost of any exchanges necessary to complete the payment will be borne by the customer, in accordance with the rules and conditions of our bank.

We may not manage or convert currency for the purposes of speculative trading, conversion arbitrage, conversion options, or any other activity that we consider to be primarily intended to obtain or realize money based on currency conversion rates. We may withhold or cancel any transaction that we consider to be in violation of this policy.

 

10. How Beam handles currency conversion

Currency conversion will be processed by our bank, according to the rules and conditions set by it, and neither we nor Beam have any responsibility for the procedure.

The Partner accepts that any costs arising from the currency conversion procedure that are attributable to it cannot, under any circumstances, be the responsibility of Beam.

 

11. Account statements and request account records

The Partner will be able to consult and download their Beam account statement when logging in.

The Partner agrees to analyze their transactions through the Beam account history, eliminating the need to receive any periodic statements by email.

Beam may send, by email, to the Partner, information about payments made to its order and other documents related to the transactions.

Beam retains the right to charge a fee for providing additional information that the Partner requests.

By email, or in the transaction history that the Partner can access when logging into the Beam account, we will provide details of the amounts received and deducted, and you will not be able to make any deductions.

 

12. Telecommunications expenses

The Partner is responsible for telecommunications and other expenses that allow you to connect and use our services.

We provide the Beam service, and it is the Partner’s responsibility to ensure that they have the technological and communicational conditions to use it.

 

13. Regularization

After confirming the payment with the customer’s financing source, Beam will proceed with the regularization via bank transfer, to the account indicated by the Partner.

In order to continue to guarantee the best possible conditions, regularization with the Partner will occur within the deadlines and conditions set out in the specific section of these Membership Terms and Conditions.

The amount to be credited to the Partner will then be deducted from the amount corresponding to the cashback granted.

Beam may refuse to carry out regularization if:

a) The customer does not have a sufficient balance to cover the cost of acquiring the good or service transacted by the Partner and any other costs, or its financing source does not have sufficient funds to cover the money necessary to make the payment to the Partner;

b) The Partner has not provided all the requested information, which is mandatory to complete the regularization;

c) The amount to be regularized exceeds the limit set by Beam;

d) We have reason to believe that unusual, suspicious, fraudulent, irregular, or illicit activity has occurred in connection with the Partner’s or customer’s account, or which, in any way, violates these Membership Terms and Conditions.

 

14. Special financing sources

Some customer payments may be financed by special financing sources associated with the customer’s Beam account, such as their Beam balance, vouchers, promotional vouchers, or others.

The use of these special sources may be subject to specific Terms and Conditions of Adhesion between Beam, the customer and/or the Partner, which, in most situations, do not result in any difference for the Partner.

 

15. Receipt Limits

Beam may, at its discretion, impose limits on the amount and value of payments that the Partner may receive for sales it makes.

To remove the receiving limit, you will need to follow the steps we communicate to you or publish from time to time.

 

16. Collection of surcharges

Beam does not encourage charging surcharges, as it is an e-commerce practice that can penalize the customer and unnecessarily create confusion, friction and abandonment at the checkout stage.

The Partner must not apply surcharges or higher prices because payment is made through Beam.

 

17. Beam Presentation

The Partner must treat Beam as a payment method at least at the same level as any other payment methods available on their website and online store, including in the application for mobile devices.

This includes at least the same or substantially similar treatment in terms of:

a) Positioning of the logo;

b) Position on any website and online store;

c) Treatment in terms of payment flow, terms, conditions, restrictions or commissions, in each case in relation to other brands and payment methods in the Partner’s online stores.

The Partner may not, under any circumstances, diminish Beam’s capabilities as a system for making and accepting payments, nor express a preference for using other means and payment systems to the detriment of Beam.

 

18. Taxes and reporting information

It is the Partner’s responsibility to determine what taxes, if any, apply to the payments they receive and it is their sole responsibility to assess, collect, declare and remit the correct taxes to the appropriate authorities.

Beam is not responsible for determining whether any taxes apply to the transaction, nor for calculating, collecting, reporting or remitting any taxes arising from any transaction.

 

19. Payments in the online store

If the Partner accepts Beam payments in its online store, it must inform the customer of the total amount of the transaction before it is carried out.

The Partner may only charge its customer’s account for transactions that it has authorized.

The Partner must issue a receipt for each transaction carried out, which must contain an accurate and truthful description of the goods and services being purchased.

 

20. Marketplace sellers

If the Partner is a seller on a marketplace or through a third-party application that makes Beam available, they will have to comply with the rules applicable to the marketplace of which they are part.

We may allow the Partner to authorize certain marketplaces to use their account to collect amounts owed by the buyer. If the Partner grants such authorization and the marketplace notifies us of this request, the Partner must instruct us to process payments accordingly. At any time the Partner may contact us and cancel such instruction.

 

21. Responsibility to notify Beam

Once Partner has access to any account statements or other account activity information, Partner has seven days to notify Beam in writing of the existence of alleged errors or discrepancies for which Beam is responsible.

If the Partner does not notify Beam within this period, the Partner will accept these statements and information as accurate and valid, and Beam will not be required to make any corrections.

 

22. Refunds and payment cancellations

When you receive a payment, it may berefundedorcanceled.

We may allow you to send the payer areimbursementpayment.

We can proceed tocancellationpayment in certain circumstances.

It is the sole responsibility of the Partner:

a) Comply with the respective contractual and legal obligations towards the payer for any reimbursement made to them;

b) Any difference between the cost to the payer of the original payment and the value of the amount returned to the payer (for example, as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of the transaction).

Beam is not responsible for any loss resulting from the Partner’s decision to reimburse, or not to reimburse, the buyer of the amount spent by the latter on the transaction, except in the event that said reimbursement is motivated by the incorrect execution of a payment by Beam.

 

23. Cancellations and compensation

A cancellation occurs when we exercise our right to compensation for amounts from the Partner’s account, unduly received by the Partner.

Payment amounts received in the Partner’s account may be removed from it after delivering the goods or services sold.

A cancellation may occur when:

a) We reimburse the payer in relation to a claim made against the Partner;

b) We compensate the payer or the bank because we receive a complaint from one of them to return the payment under a cancellation process used by that bank. This includes any claims of unauthorized or incorrect payments made to your account.

The amount claimed may be higher than the original amount received due to exchange rate fluctuations between the time of payment and the time of claim.

We may have to compensate the buyer when they complain that there was a problem with their payment, namely that the payment was not authorized, or was incorrect.

We have the right to cancel for any other reason referred to in these Membership Terms and Conditions or applicable law, including if we suspect that the Partner is involved in restricted activities.

If your balance in a particular currency is insufficient to cover the amount you owe us in that currency, whether as part of a cancellation or compensation, we may carry out a currency conversion of any balance into another currency to cover the shortfall against our exchange rate.

 

24. Dispute Commissions

Beam may charge a dispute fee if it is required to personally intervene in the resolution of conflicts between the Partner and the customer, in which it is determined that the customer is right.

To be charged, the dispute commission will be in the currency in which the transaction that gave rise to the dispute was carried out.

The amount ofdispute committeewill be determined when the case in dispute is created, and may never exceed 5% of the transaction value.

Adispute committeewill be deducted from the Partner’s Beam account after determining responsibilities and deciding the claim.

 

25. Buyer Protection

If there is a complaint from the buyer against the Partner and it turns out that the latter was wrong, the Partner may lose the total value of the transaction, plus the shipping cost.

In some cases, the Partner may not receive the item back.

Partner will not receive a refund of the compensation it paid to Beam in connection with the sale.

 

26. Partner Protection

If you sold something to a buyer and you have already shipped the physical item or provided an asset and the transaction is later disputed or canceled under these Membership Terms and Conditions, you may be eligible for a refund.

When applicable, Partner protection may result in the Partner’s right to retain the full purchase amount.

 

27. Restricted Activities

In connection with the use of our websites, your Beam account, Beam services or in the course of your interactions with Beam, other Beam customers, or third parties, the Partner is not permitted to:

28. Consequences of practicing restricted activities

If we consider that the Partner is involved in any restricted activity, we may, on our own initiative and free will, take several measures to protect Beam and all users and third parties, namely:

a) Terminate, at any time and at our sole discretion, this membership agreement with the Partner;

b) Limit the Partner’s account or close or suspend it, without penalties for Beam;

c) Refuse to provide Beam services to the Partner in the future;

d) At any time and without liability for any damages caused, suspend, limit or terminate the Partner’s access to our websites, software, systems (including any networks and servers used to provide any of the Beam services), operated by us or on our behalf, to your Beam account or any of the Beam services, including limiting your ability to receive Beam payments, regardless of the associated funding source and preventing you from accessing the business portal;

e) Retain the Partner’s money to the extent and for the period reasonably necessary to protect Beam against the risk of liability, as further explained in the appropriate section of these Membership Terms and Conditions;

f) Block your Beam account and/or withhold funds in the reserve account;

g) Refuse any particular payment transaction, at any time, for any reason, it is only necessary to provide the basis and reasons for the refusal, as well as how the Partner can resolve the problem, if possible, upon request and provided that is not prohibited by law;

Beam is not responsible for this type of content published by the Partner, which is their sole responsibility;

Any information, particularly relating to your store, that the Partner has entered into the Beam application and which turns out to be false, will be deleted by Beam. The Partner will be notified of this fact, having a period of 7 days to contest it, in writing, and must justify the veracity of the information. Beam will make the final decision on the matter, and may decide to maintain the deletion or restore the information

 

29. Liability Risk

For the purposes of paragraph e) of the previous section, the Partner acknowledges, in particular, that:

a) The risk of Beam’s liability in relation to card payments that the Partner receives may last until the risk of termination of a chargeback in favor of the payer/buyer passes (as determined by the rules of the card system). This depends on certain factors, including, without limitation: 1) The type of goods or services for which the Partner receives payment; 2) The period for the delivery of the articles or the provision of the services for which the Partner receives payment;

b) Beam’s risk of liability in connection with a claim or dispute arising from a payment that Partner has received may last for as long as it takes the parties to settle the claim or dispute and all remedies associated therewith, in accordance with the protection from the buyer;

c) Beam’s risk of liability in connection with any insolvency event that Partner may suffer may last for as long as applicable insolvency law limits Beam’s ability to bring legal action against Partner;

d) If the Partner allows its Beam account to have a negative balance arising from debt owed to Beam, Beam’s liability risk may last as long as the Partner maintains that balance.

 

30. Responsibilities arising from suspension or termination

Unless otherwise stated, Partner may not use or attempt to use its Beam account while it is suspended or closed.

The Partner must ensure that all contracts with buyers or other third parties involving payments that have already started are canceled immediately upon termination, suspension or closure of their account.

The Partner remains responsible for all charges and other amounts incurred in connection with the use of its account at any time, regardless of its termination, suspension or closure.

 

31. Retentions, limitations and reservations

In order to guarantee the security and integrity of its services and users, Beam may adopt certain measures regarding the account or transaction.

Except in exceptional situations, namely for imperative security reasons, the Partner will be notified of the adoption of such measures.

You acknowledge and agree that funds held under these Membership Terms and Conditions may be placed in your reserve account and that you will provide us with such information as we reasonably request to enable us to determine that the risk no longer exists.

 

32. Withholdings

A hold is an action Beam may take in certain circumstances, both at the transaction and account level.

When Beam places a payment amount on hold, the balance is not available to the Partner.

Beam analyzes several factors before placing a payment on hold, including: the Partner’s identity, account ownership, transaction activity, company type, and previous customer disputes.

Some common situations in which Beam will withhold payments include cases where we have reason to believe that:

a) There is an unusual and sudden change in the Partner’s sales activity, including an increased number of complaints against you, or cancellations received in relation to that Beam account;

b) The Partner’s account is being used within the scope of restricted activities;

c) Relates to a transaction resulting from data theft and/or which was not duly authorized by the buyer;

d) The Partner is attempting to send or transfer funds it received fraudulently;

e) The Partner has not provided us with sufficient information to allow us to verify their identity or the identity of their business;

f) The payment sent to the Partner as seller is disputed as a payment that must be invalidated and canceled;

g) The buyer has submitted a cancellation request or claim under buyer protection in relation to a payment that the Partner has received;

h) There is a risk of cancellation of funds in the buyer’s account to the respective financing source.

i) There is a risk of liability, already explained in a specific section of these Terms and Conditions of Membership.

 

33. Payment Analysis

If we identify the possibility of a high-risk transaction, we will analyze it in more detail before allowing it to be processed.

This need may result from the fact that Beam suspects that one or both accounts of those involved are being used for restricted activities or for other reasons.

It may also be due to the existence of liability risk.

Whenever payment is subject to analysis and subsequent authorization, we will notify the Partner of this fact.

If there is no authorization, the transaction will be canceled and payment will be returned to the buyer.

All payments for which payment analysis is completed remain subject to cancellation under these Membership Terms and Conditions.

Beam will notify the Partner of the start of the analysis procedure.

When a payment is subject to analysis, it is a simple analysis of the payment that is implemented to reduce the risk of high-risk transactions being carried out.

The analysis cannot be interpreted as Beam’s distrust or disregard for those involved, namely the Partner.

 

34. Holds related to Partner instructions

Beam may, in certain cases, allow the Partner to request the retention of their funds in their reserve account.

If this happens, we will show you the status of the availability of said funds in the Partner’s balance.

In such situations, Beam will stop retaining the funds as soon as the Partner requests it, without prejudice to the other provisions established in these Membership Terms and Conditions.

 

35. Limitations

Limitations are implemented to help protect Beam, Partners and other users of the platform, applying when we determine the existence ofrestricted activities, an increased financial risk or any activity that appears unusual or suspicious.

Limitations also help us collect the information necessary to keep your Partner’s Beam account open and functional.

There are several reasons why the Partner’s Beam account may be limited, in particular when we have reason to believe that:

a) Someone may be using the Partner’s Beam account without the Partner’s knowledge and authorization. In these cases, we will limit the account for your protection and to review apparent fraudulent activity;

b) The Partner’s customer’s card or bank account was used without permission, causing an alert from the debit or credit card issuer, or the bank;

c) The Partner has violated these Membership Terms and Conditions;

d) The Partner’s performance as a seller indicates that its Beam account is high risk, that is, when, for example: it presents indicators of poor sales performance, as it has already received an unusually high number of complaints; offers a completely new or high-cost type of product for sale; your sales volume increases very quickly compared to normal;

e) There is a risk of liability, already explained in the previous section of these Terms and Conditions of Membership.

We may also limit Partner’s Beam account to comply with applicable law.

Before a limitation can be removed, Partner must resolve any issues with their account.

This is typically done after you have provided us with the information we request.

However, if we have reason to believe that there is still a risk after you have provided us with this information, we may take measures to protect Beam, the Partners, our users, third parties or the Partner itself against cancellations, commissions, fines, penalties, legal risks and or regulatory and other responsibilities.

 

36. Reservations

Subject to applicable laws and regulations, Beam may apply a reservation to the Partner’s account at any time.

This may happen if Beam considers that there is a high level of risk associated with the Partner, its account, its business model or its transactions.

When applying a reservation to the Partner’s Beam account, the funds are reserved, in whole or in part, and are no longer available for settlement, as protection against the risk of payments made in your favor being canceled or invalidated, or against any other risk related to your Beam account or use of Beam services.

Beam may make decisions regarding the application of a reservation based on a number of factors, including information made available to us by internal and third-party sources.

Beam considers a list of non-exclusive factors and whether and how these factors have changed over time, namely:

a) Date on which the Partner started activity;

b) If the Partner’s sector of activity has a higher probability of complaints and returns;

c) History of transactions and payments with Beam and third parties;

d) E-commerce or personal history;

e) Existence of an above-average number of returns, complaints or disputes.

If we apply a reserve to the funds in the Partner’s Beam account, they will be notified and the balance will be placed in their reserve account and shown as pending.

If we change the booking due to a change in our risk assessment, we will also notify you.

Partner agrees to undertake, at its own expense, any additional action that is necessary to establish a reserve or other form of security in a manner reasonably determined by Beam.

This may involve executing any necessary documents and recording any type of document reasonably required by Beam.

 

37. Problem detection and resolution

We recommend that the Partner regularly monitor their Beam account and not transfer access data to third parties.

If the Partner detects a problem, please contact us immediately, in writing, so that we can help you as soon as possible.

To this end, you must provide us with all requested information about the circumstances of the problem and take all reasonable steps we request.

We may provide third parties with information that we deem relevant in such circumstances, in accordance with the Privacy Policy available on our website.

Subject to the other provisions set out in the Membership Terms and Conditions, we intend to investigate the problem and collaborate with the Partner to resolve it as quickly as possible.

However, we will not be able to help, or in any way compensate the Partner, when:

a) The Partner does not provide us with all the information reasonably requested about the circumstances of the problem, including if it does not comply with our request to communicate the problem in writing, within the period granted to it for that purpose;

b) The Partner fails to take all reasonable steps we request to assist us in our investigation;

c) The Partner has acted fraudulently;

d) Beam demonstrates that the problem was caused by circumstances beyond our control (e.g. fire, flood or loss of internet connection), despite our reasonable precautions;

e) We have reasons to consider that there is no problem that gives the Partner the right to compensation;

f) The Partner takes more than two months from the date of the occurrence to communicate the problem to us;

g) It is demonstrated that the Partner did not keep their account secure, intentionally or through gross negligence (for example, they chose to share their Beam account ID and password; or

h) There was another security or fraud problem, which the Partner did not communicate to us;

It may be the case that Beam detects the problem before the Partner does. If there is a need to notify the Partner about the problem, we will contact you through the application or your email address.

 

38. Disputes between Beam and the Partner

What is contained in this section does not affect the provisions of the specific section of these Terms and Conditions of Membership.

In the event of a dispute between the Partner and Beam, our goal is to be informed of the situation and respond to the Partner’s concerns.

If we are unable to do so to the Partner’s satisfaction, we will seek to provide a neutral and cost-effective means of resolving the dispute quickly.

Beam will attempt to respond to the Partner’s complaint as quickly as possible and within the deadlines provided by law.

If there are any exceptional or unexpected circumstances that delay the response to the Partner’s complaint, we will send you an update and keep you informed as to when you can expect to hear from Beam.

Beam will not charge the Partner any fees for processing your complaints. If the dispute cannot be resolved amicably, Beam and the Partner may resort to other means of dispute resolution, including arbitration.

The parties agree that these Terms and Conditions of Membership and the agreement resulting from them will apply the law of the Republic of Ireland.

Beam and the Partner may resort to the arbitration mechanism, which will comply with the arbitration rules of the Republic of Ireland.

In this case, the number of arbitrators will be one, who, in the absence of agreement, will be chosen according to the rules in force.

The place of arbitration will be in the Republic of Ireland and the language used in the arbitration will be English.

The decision rendered in the arbitration will be final and binding.

 

39. Contacts

Except when otherwise stated in these Terms and Conditions of Membership, or by Beam as expressly stated, any communication that the Partner wishes to direct to Beam must take the form of an email message, sent to the address support@beamwallet.com .

 

40. Information and notices

The Partner agrees that we may make information and notices of interest available to you by publishing them on our website, or to your email, or to your postal address, or by SMS message to your phone.

Therefore, the Partner is obliged to keep us informed of their current contacts, and must have an internet connection to receive information and notices from Beam.

The information or notice is considered to have been received by the Partner on the day following its publication on the Beam website or its sending by SMS message, depending on the case.

If the information or notice was sent by postal mail, the Partner is deemed to have been notified thereof within three days of sending. Beam may terminate your account if you withdraw your consent for us to send you electronic communications.

 

41. Reservation of reasons and reasons

The Partner accepts that Beam’s decisions regarding retentions, limitations, reservations, blocks, suspensions, terminations, closures and any other measures provided for in these Membership Terms and Conditions, whether restricting or increasing the Partner’s access to our services, infrastructures, websites, software and systems, operated by us or on our behalf, may be based on confidential facts and criteria, essential to our risk management and protection of Beam, its Partners, users, suppliers, employees and third parties. We may use our own fraud and risk models to assess the risk associated with your Beam account.

The Partner understands that we may be prevented, by legal or administrative prescription, from disclosing certain information about our decisions to you.

We have no obligation to disclose to the Partner the details of our risk management or security procedures.

 

42. Right of Retention

If you fail to comply with your obligations arising from these Membership Terms and Conditions and find yourself in debt to Beam, the Partner hereby grants us the right to retain the funds in your Beam account, as a guarantee of payment of the amounts due.

 

43. Partner’s Responsibility

The Partner is responsible for all cancellations, chargebacks, complaints, commissions, fines, penalties and other liabilities that Beam directly or indirectly incurs, caused or arising from the violation of these Membership Terms and Conditions and or the use of Beam services, regardless of the termination, suspension or termination thereof.

The Partner agrees to reimburse Beam, the user or third parties for any and all liability arising from the aforementioned situations.

 

44. Refund

You agree that Beam may deduct the amount of any amount owed to you, or an affiliate of yours, directly from payments received into your Beam account.

If there are not enough funds in the Partner’s account balance to cover their liability, they agree to pay us by other means.

Naturally, we may also recover the amounts that the Partner owes us through legal means.

 

45. No waiver

The fact that we do not act in relation to a breach by the Partner of any of its obligations set out in these Membership Terms and Conditions does not imply the waiver of our right to act in relation to any subsequent breaches, whether identical or different from the one that occurred.

 

46. Partner Information

To facilitate the actions described in these Membership Terms and Conditions, reduce the risk of fraud and/or comply with our regulatory obligations, including anti-money laundering, we may request information and documents relating to you from the Partner.

At issue may be any official documents and information about the Partner’s activity and operations, namely proof of its identity, composition and corporate purpose, if applicable.

The Partner is obliged to respond to these requests in a timely manner.

 

47. Compensation

You may be required to compensate us as a result of acts or omissions in connection with your Beam account or use of Beam services.

The Partner agrees to exempt Beam, and if necessary indemnify Beam, from any liability in relation to any claim or demand, including legal costs, presented or incurred by third parties, arising, in particular:

a) Violation, by the Partner, of these Membership Terms and Conditions;

b) The improper use, by the Partner, of Beam services;

c) The violation, by the Partner, of any law or third party rights;

d) Actions, or omissions, of any person to whom the Partner grants permission to use their Beam account or allows access to our websites, software, applications, services, systems (including any networks and servers used to provide any of the services Beam) and others, operated by Beam or on our behalf, on behalf of the Partner.

 

48. Penal Clause

If you use your Beam account in violation of these Membership Terms and Conditions and damage results to us, the Partner, in addition to being subject to the application of the measures referred to in the previous sections, will be responsible for the losses caused.

The Partner acknowledges and accepts that the minimum amount of said losses amounts to €2,000.00 (two thousand euros), and we may deduct such amount directly from the existing balance in the Partner’s Beam account.

 

49. Beam Liability

Our liability is limited to the Beam services and the Beam account.

Under no circumstances will we be responsible for loss, direct or indirect, of the Partner’s profits, as well as the Partner’s activity, data and otherwise, arising from or related to our websites, software, applications, systems (including any networks and servers used to provide any of the Beam services), operated or provided by Beam.

Beam’s liability to the Partner, or third parties, is, in any circumstances, limited to the actual amount of direct losses (excluding direct loss of profits).
