Google Pay is a payment solution application which facilitates Payment Transactions.

Google Pay also provides a simple, fast and secure payment experience for Merchants. The Google Pay for Business Program enables Merchants to: ( 1 ) Accept payments through Google Pay for products and services purchased/availed of by a Buyer, ( 2 ) communicate with their Buyers through Google Pay, ( 3 ) send offers to Buyers that they can act on (e.g., “redeem,” “save,” etc.), and ( 4 ) link Buyers to you or your business website or business application. You understand that Google reserves the right to offer certain services under the Google Pay for Business Program, selectively.

Payment Transactions or any communication/offer carried out through Google Pay for the sale of products and services are solely between you and the User. We are an intermediary creating a link between you and the Users in order to enable you to provide Google Pay as a payment option, to provide offers to Buyers, and to communicate with Buyers. You are solely responsible for your engagement with the User including, but not limited to any Payment Transactions, communication/offers made to Users, delivery of products and services and investigating and resolving disputes with your Buyers.

We do not provide settlement services to Merchants. You will require a Settlement bank account which is verified and registered with a Payment Participant in order to receive Settlement Amount through the services of such Payment Participants. Your contractual arrangement with the Payment Participant, the Payment Participant Rules and Applicable Laws will govern the manner of processing transactions, settlement process and dealing with disputes, chargeback and reversals.

Google is a facilitator of Transactions. Google is not a party to these Transactions. Google is not responsible to you, in any manner whatsoever, with respect to settlement of funds relating to the Transaction.
Google is not and will not be responsible for any aspect of the products or services you sell.
Google is not and will not be responsible for any communications or offers made by you to Buyer.
Google is not a party to and will not be responsible for any disputes, chargebacks or reversals.
Google is not responsible for the acts of Buyers, including if they do not complete a transaction.
The facilitation of a Transaction does not guarantee that a Buyer has sufficient funds available in the Funding Account he or she used, that the transaction will be authorized or processed, or that the Transaction will not later result in a chargeback or other reversal.

The relationship between Google and you is on principal-to-principal basis. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to create any association, partnership, joint venture or relationship of principal and agent, or master and servant, or employer and employee between us hereto or any affiliates or subsidiaries thereof.
