You agree that Transactions carried out pursuant to this Agreement may be subject to disclosure to competent authorities. You may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, access the information so disclosed where such information concerns you, provided such right to access does not undermine the purpose of the fight against money laundering or terrorist financing. You agree that you shall not bring any prosecutions, civil liability actions or any professional sanction against PingPong, its managers or employees who have reported their suspicions in good faith to the relevant authorities.

We shall in no event be held responsible for Funds being sent to the wrong bank account as a result of your provision of untrue, inaccurate or incomplete Beneficiary Account information. In the event that the payment is rejected due to untrue, inaccurate or incomplete Beneficiary Account information provided by you, you shall solely be responsible for relevant Fees and PingPong may directly deduct such Fees from your PingPong Balance. In case of any incorrect or misdirected payment, we shall take reasonable measures to assist you with tracing and, if reasonably feasible, recovering such payments, but we shall in no event be liable for any payments that cannot be recovered. All our additional costs in relation thereto shall be borne by you.
(b) You shall ensure that your Beneficiary Account is in good standing and able to receive Funds. If your Beneficiary Account bank rejects the Withdrawal Transaction from PingPong, Funds will be held with PingPong until a valid Beneficiary Account is provided. All costs associated thereto shall be borne by you.
(c) PingPong shall be entitled to reject any Beneficiary Accounts that do not comply with PingPong’s compliance requirements or if payments to such Beneficiary Account would violate Applicable Law. You shall provide other Beneficiary Account so that we can continue to provide the PingPong Services to you.
7.4 Once you submit a Withdrawal Instruction to PingPong to execute a Withdrawal Transaction and debit your Beneficiary Account with the amount of such Withdrawal Transaction, less all applicable Fees, the withdrawals to your Beneficiary Account shall be irrevocable and you will not be able to refund the Funds transferred into your Beneficiary Account.

7.6 PingPong reserves the right to offset from any PingPong Balance any amounts owed to PingPong by you, including, but not limited to, all Fees payable under this Agreement.

(c) the international bank account number or, where relevant, the payment account’s details of the relevant Payee; and
(d) any other information required by PingPong to proceed with the Outbound Payment Order, including the underlying transaction details and documents, which will include any information necessary for PingPong to comply with Applicable Law.
If you are an individual or entity in mainland China, Outbound Transactions are limited to transactions in respect of warehousing, logistics, taxation and other expenses allowed pursuant to Applicable Law incurred outside of China for the purpose of selling goods or providing services on the Platform. PingPong is entitled to review or further require you to supplement the supporting materials and may refuse to process your payment instruction based on internal compliance policies.

PingPong shall make reasonable detail regarding such refusal available to the Customer on such Customer’s PingPong Account as long as the relevant Outbound Payment Order is subject to such refusal.
8.3 The time of receipt of an Outbound Payment Order, the time of execution and the value date are determined as follows:
(a) Time of receipt. The time of receipt of an Outbound Payment Order is the time when the Outbound Payment Order is actually received by PingPong. If the Outbound Payment Order is received by PingPong after the cut-off time (set by PingPong’s contracting entity as described in Section 3 hereof) on a Business Day or on a day which is not a Business Day, the Outbound Payment Order shall be deemed to have been received on the immediate succeeding Business Day for such PingPong contracting entity. Once the Outbound Payment Order is received by PingPong, it shall be irrevocable.
(b) Time of execution. After receipt of an Outbound Payment Order, PingPong shall ensure that the amount of the Outbound Payment is credited to the payee's bank or payment service provider’s account at the latest by the end of the Business Day immediately succeeding receipt of the Outbound Payment Order.
(c) Value date. The debit value date for the Customer acting as payer shall be no earlier than the point in time at which the amount of the Outbound Payment Order is debited from the Payment Account.
(d) The time limits. The time limits prescribed above are usual time limits and apply subject to the Payment Account Balance being positive and showing sufficient Funds in order for PingPong to proceed with the requested Outbound Payment Order. For the sake of clarity, the foregoing time limits may be extended due to practical circumstances of which we shall inform you accordingly.

9. Fees

9.1 PingPong shall advise you of all Fees that may be charged by PingPong against you through the PingPong Account. Acting reasonably, and following notice to you, PingPong may from time to time adjust existing Fees or introduce new Fees. You shall pay all Fees as from time to time adjusted by us and your continued use of the PingPong Services indicates your continued acceptance of such Fees. When we adjust our Fees, we will publish the updated Fees in your PingPong Account portal and may send you an email notification (if required). If you have any questions or are unclear as to any Fees, you should contact PingPong Customer Support.
9.2 Fees payable by you will be deducted from your Payment Account, and will be charged when the Transaction is executed. You hereby authorize and instruct us to so deduct such Fees.
9.3 Your Transaction may be subject to currency conversions. If the Transaction involves a currency conversion, such conversion will be completed at the foreign exchange rate at the applicable transaction time as determined by PingPong at our sole and absolute discretion. To avoid the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates, foreign exchange rates of each Transaction will be determined when such Transaction is processed by PingPong. As a result, and subject only to Applicable Law, the foreign exchange rate provided by PingPong prior to the execution of such Transaction is for reference only and the actual foreign exchange rate during the Transaction shall prevail. You acknowledge and confirm that you shall be bound by the applicable exchange rates from time to time.

10.2 PingPong may suspend or terminate your access to all or any part of the PingPong Services at any time, with or without cause. Where possible, we may provide at least seven (7) days’ prior notice by email, unless there are exceptional circumstances, or regulatory circumstances (including but not limited to court or governmental orders) causing PingPong to take immediate action, such as where we discover that you have provided false, misleading, untrue, incomplete or inaccurate information or have otherwise acted dishonestly; (b) you commit a breach of this Agreement or any other agreement you enter into with PingPong; (c) your PingPong Account has been compromised or for other security reasons; (d) you engage in fraud, money laundering, terrorist financing or other illegal activities or we reasonably suspect the same; (e) you use PingPong Services illegally or fraudulently in violation of Applicable Law or we reasonably suspect the same; or (f) there are other grounds that PingPong considers it appropriate. Together with a termination/suspension notice, we may also provide instructions on how to withdraw remaining Funds, if it is not forbidden by Applicable Law.
10.3 When your PingPong Account is suspended or terminated, any further attempted use of the PingPong Services will result in your Funds being rejected and returned to the Platform, and may warrant notification to appropriate authorities.

(a) the Payment Account has no Transactions during a period of twelve (12) consecutive months; and

PingPong shall have no liability for any failure or delay due to matters beyond its reasonable control.
15.2 In respect of any Inbound Payment, you hereby release the Platform or the sender from liability for such payment as of when the Funds related thereto are actually received by PingPong and not as of that later time when the Funds are settled to you by PingPong.
15.3 Outbound Payment Orders can only be executed if they comply with regulatory standards. PingPong will not be held liable for any damages which could result from the non-execution or defective execution of an Outbound Payment Order where such non-execution or defective execution is due to the fact that the Customer provided information which was untrue, inaccurate, incomplete or incorrect. In the case of paying VAT in European Union, Outbound Payment Orders shall be executed according to the relevant Approved Payee’s international bank account number (IBAN) provided that such bank account is held with a bank in the European Union (the “Unique Identifier”). In the case of a discrepancy between the Unique Identifier provided by the Customer and any other information, PingPong may, without incurring any liability, rely solely on the Unique Identifier. In such case, the Funds under the relevant Outbound Payment Order transmitted by the Customer will be deemed to have been transferred to the intended beneficiary. If the Unique Identifier provided by the Customer is incorrect, PingPong will not be held liable for any damages which could result from the non-execution or defective execution of the Outbound Payment Order so long as PingPong has executed such Outbound Payment Order in accordance with the indicated Unique Identifier. The Customer will assume sole responsibility thereto and reimburse all costs of PingPong.
15.4 You acknowledge that PingPong may provide the PingPong Services using facilities provided by banks, payment service providers, clearing networks and other third-party payment processing services. No commercial agreement exists between the Service Providers and yourself and each of the Service Providers will accordingly have no direct liability to you.
15.5 We shall not be liable for any underlying sales transactions occurring on the Platform between either you or a Buyer. It is your responsibility to ensure that you only make payments to or receive payments from persons or entities related to commercial transactions in compliance with your applicable legal obligations. PingPong has no influence on the underlying process of buying or selling goods, and no legal relationship with the Platform or Buyers, and will not be made liable to or in respect of any Buyer or Platform or for the underlying products or services being sold or bought, nor for the correct completion of any sale or purchase of goods or services. You assume exclusive responsibility for your product and your obligations to Buyers and Platforms, and shall indemnify and hold PingPong harmless from any claim by any of them against PingPong. The sale of counterfeit goods or goods breaching intellectual property rights can also lead to legal action by rights holders and a potential loss of Funds. If you are in doubt as to the legality of a transaction you should not continue with your payment.
15.6 You shall be solely responsible for reporting to all applicable government tax authorities all Funds underlying your use of the PingPong Services and for the payment of any applicable taxes that apply to such payments as well as any other applicable reporting requirements including, but not limited to, any customs or foreign currency controls. PingPong may request you to provide proof of payment of taxes as and when it considers necessary and appropriate. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law and unless otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by PingPong, you shall be solely liable for, and you shall indemnify the Indemnified Persons against, any tax withholding required in connection with your use of the PingPong Services.
15.7 Neither party shall be held liable or considered to have failed under these rules in case of late or non-performance when their cause is related to a force majeure situation as defined by the governing law defined in Section 3.

“PingPong will determine the escheatment requirement of the fund in the inactive PingPong Account based on the applicable states law, at which time the fund in PingPong Account may be deemed “unclaimed property”. Where required, PingPong will send you a notice prior to escheating any funds in your inactive PingPong Account. PingPong will determine your state of residency based on the state listed in the address for your PingPong account. If your address is unknown or registered in a foreign country outside United States, the funds in your PingPong account, will be escheated to the State of New York. Where required, PayPal will send you a notice prior to escheating any funds in your PayPal account. If you fail to respond to this notice, the funds in your PingPong Account, will be escheated to the applicable state. If you would like to claim any escheated funds from the applicable state, please contact the applicable state’s unclaimed property administrator.”

Applicable to Customer located in India

PingPong acts as an Online Payment Gateway Service Provider (“OPGSP”) (as prescribed by the Reserve Bank of India) (“OPGSP”) in India for the purpose of facilitating certain payment services. The customer in India may be eligible to use PingPong Services to conduct Inbound Transactions and Withdrawal Transactions (but not to make Outbound Transactions) via PingPong as OPGSP, as described in the foregoing Terms and Conditions, subject to the terms set forth below.

If you are a registered user of PingPong, you may use the PingPong Services in India to receive payments in consideration of export by you of goods or services of value not exceeding the equivalent of US$10,000 per transaction, as may be amended from time to time (“Eligible Inbound”). You may use the PingPong Services for export of such goods and services as permitted under the laws of India, including but not limited to the prevalent Foreign Trade Policy of India, and in all cases only for lawful and valid transactions and not for any prohibited transaction as detailed in the Terms and Conditions.

When withdrawal, you must indicate the purpose of the transactions underlying the Eligible Inbound, as requested under India regulations to enable collection of data relating to the transactions as foreign exchange transactions. Failure to provide PingPong with accurate information shall be your sole responsibility. We will not be liable for withdrawn funds being sent to the wrong bank account as a result of you providing incorrect details. Providing inaccurate information regarding your bank account may result in rejection of funds or blocking your use of PingPong Services.

Eligible Inbound received by PingPong on your behalf as OPGSP will be maintained in a Nostro collection account of an Authorized Dealer Bank in India, until being transferred exclusively to your designated bank account subject to the applicable law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may use PingPong Outbound Services of VAT to pay your VAT bill to tax authority, and the amount equal to the underlying amount of your VAT payment will be redirected to the VAT authority, instead of being transferred to your bank account.
