GPay Network PH Inc. (the “Company” or “GRAB”). The provisions of the Terms of Use for GrabPay
Users in the Philippines (the “Terms of Use”, a copy of which may be accessed at the following link:
https://www.grab.com/ph) form part of and are hereby incorporated into this Addendum. Where such
terms conflict, the provisions of this Addendum shall take precedence.
You agree that you have read, understood, accepted, and agreed with the GrabPay Terms of Use as
well as the terms of this Addendum. If you do not agree to the Terms of Use or the terms of this
Addendum and wish to discontinue using the Service, please do not continue using or allowing Grabpay
as a payment method for your business.
1. MERCHANT agrees:-
a. to permit the Company and/or any of the Company’s affiliates to use its
name/logo/image/trademark(s) for purposes of their marketing efforts for GrabPay,
including promotions in the Grab App, marketing materials or in any other channel of
communication via the internet or other medium. MERCHANT also agrees that where
it has provided the Company and/or any of the Company’s affiliates with the
name/logo/image/trademark(s) belonging to any third party to be used for purposes of
advertising/marketing efforts, MERCHANT has the required permission from such third
party.
b. that the Company’s liability to MERCHANT in relation to the use of Merchant GrabPay
Wallet shall be limited to the value of the balance of MERCHANT GrabPay Wallet.
2. MERCHANT warrants to the Company that it is in compliance with all applicable laws, including
business registration, tax, and has all necessary licences in place for the operation of its
business.
3. Any information and data provided by the Company to MERCHANT and used by MERCHANT
directly or indirectly in the performance of this Addendum shall remain at all times the property
of the Company. It shall be identified, clearly marked and recorded as such by the Company
on all media and in all documentation. MERCHANT shall take all reasonable precautions to
preserve the integrity and confidentiality of such data and information and prevent its corruption,
damage, destruction, or loss or leakage. In the event of termination of this Addendum, when
directed to do so by the Company, MERCHANT shall (and shall instruct its affiliates, agents
and subcontractors to) erase all information and data provided by the Company and all copies
thereof from its data storage systems. MERCHANT agrees to comply and have adequate
measures in place to ensure that its staff comply at all times with the provisions and obligations
contained in the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and such other applicable consumer protection
legislation, as such legislations are amended from time to time. All personal data acquired by
MERCHANT from the Company shall only be used for the purposes of this Agreement and
shall not be further processed or disclosed without the consent of such end-user and the
19 | GRABFOOD
GrabFood Merchant Agreement (Integrated Model) v.Oct2020
Company. MERCHANT shall indemnify the Company for any costs, fines, claims or expenses
resulting from any breach of this clause.
Additional Terms:
4. MERCHANT agrees to offer GrabPay as a payment option, and acknowledges that, in order to
receive monies from GrabPay Users (the “Service”), MERCHANT may be required by GRAB
to download to MERCHANT’s mobile device and operate such Grab applications allowing the
use of a digital wallet and such accounts established with GRAB, from the Apple AppStore, or
the Google PlayStore as applicable.
5. Where MERCHANT accepts GrabPay Credits as payments from GrabPay Users, Grab may (i)
impose a reserve of a defined percentage of the balance payable and due to MERCHANT, in
consideration of chargebacks, reversals and fraudulent transactions (if and as applicable); or
(ii) delay or suspend payment subject to GRAB’s completion of satisfactory checks (including
anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism). Such reserve, delay or
suspension shall be notified to MERCHANT as soon as practicable.
6. The Company agrees that the Service shall be provided to MERCHANT on the basis of a
Merchant Discount Rate, being a percentage, variable at the Company’s discretion, of the total
value of transactions received into the Merchant GrabPay Wallet. Such Merchant Discount Rate
shall be what is indicated in the table below unless otherwise changed by mutual agreement of
both parties.
7. MERCHANT agrees:-
a. that in the event a Merchant Wallet is opened for MERCHANT, its balance held in the
GrabPay Wallet may not exceed the defined limit required by law as stipulated by
GRAB on its website. In the event that the balance of the Merchant’s GrabPay Wallet
approaches the defined limit, the Company will implement measures to expedite the
removal of funds from the Merchant GrabPay Wallet. The Company will notify
MERCHANT of any changes in the defined limit providing no less than ten (10)
business days’ notice thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the defined limit does not
apply to the Company’s accounts payable linked to the use of the Merchant App and/or
the Merchant GrabPay Wallet, whereby the settlement to MERCHANT’s designated
bank account is set on a daily basis or other settlement terms as may be determined
by the Company from time to time.
b. that the Company may, at its discretion, impose restrictions on withdrawals (such as a
minimum quantum for withdrawals) or charge fees for such withdrawal.
8. All amounts payable under this Agreement shall be considered as inclusive of all fees, taxes,
including value added tax (“VAT”), and all other liabilities to the government arising from or in
connection with this Agreement. In the event a Party is required to withhold tax and remit the
same to the Bureau of Internal Revenue, a Party shall deduct the tax from payments made to
the other Party. The withholding Party shall furnish the other Party with the certificate of
withholding tax within five (5) days from the end of each quarter.
