POS Payments Terms

These POS Payments Terms (“POS Terms”) supplement and form an integral part of the Payment Terms or the Master Service Agreement entered into by and between you and Airwallex, as applicable (the “Agreement”) and govern your access to and use of the POS Payment Services, including the purchase and use of Payment Terminals. 

In interpreting these POS Terms:

a. Capitalised words within these POS Terms shall have the same meaning as provided for within the Agreement; and

b. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of these POS Terms and the Payment Terms, these POS Terms shall prevail, but only to the extent necessary to resolve such conflict. 

1. POS Payments Services

1.1 Provision of Services. Subject to your compliance with the Agreement and these Terms, we may provide you with access to the Point-of-Sale (“POS”) Payment Services, as part of the Services. In connection with the POS Payment Services, we will make available Payment Terminals and the associated POS Software necessary to facilitate in‑person payment acceptance.

2. Payment Terminals

2.1 Ordering. Eligible merchants may order Payment Terminals via the Airwallex Webapp or relevant APIs. Airwallex may accept or reject any order at its sole discretion, and all orders are subject to availability. The Payment Terminals are manufactured by a third party and resold by Airwallex. 

2.2 Delivery. Payment Terminals will be delivered by a third-party carrier selected by us to the address specified by you. We will inform you of the shipping fees (if any) and estimated delivery times. Delivery times are estimates only and Airwallex is not liable for any delays caused by the carrier or other events outside of Airwallex's control. If a Payment Terminal is returned to Airwallex due to your failure to accept delivery (e.g., incorrect address, absence), you will be responsible for any additional costs incurred for redelivery.

2.3 Activation. You must complete the initial setup to activate the Payment Terminal for card payment acceptance. This involves launching the Airwallex POS application on the Payment Terminal, generating a Pairing Code, and subsequently entering the Pairing Code into the Airwallex Webapp to establish a connection with your Airwallex Account.

2.4 Storage and security. You are responsible for the physical security of the Payment Terminals and for preventing unauthorized access or use. You must store Payment Terminals securely, maintain them in good working condition, and use them in accordance with Airwallex’s instructions and guidelines. You must immediately report any tampering, loss, theft or misuse of a Payment Terminal to Airwallex via email at [email protected]. 

2.5 Supported Payment Methods. We will make reasonable efforts to support commonly used payment methods, but we do not guarantee the availability of any specific payment method. We may add or remove Supported Payment Methods at any time.

2.6 Warranty: Airwallex provides a six-month limited warranty on Payment Terminals, from the date of delivery. This warranty covers repair or replacement of the defective terminal, at Airwallex's discretion. Damage resulting from misuse, unauthorized modifications, or external factors is not covered. To initiate a warranty claim, contact Airwallex support at [email protected]. 

3. POS Software

3.1 Software. As part of the POS Payment Services, we will provide and maintain the relevant software and firmware for the operation of the Payment Terminal (the “POS Software”). The POS Software enables access to Airwallex’s payment processing and other related services. Airwallex may decide to end support of the POS Software by providing reasonable prior written notice.

3.2 Updates. Airwallex may, from time to time, implement updates or upgrades to the POS Software. These updates may be installed remotely by Airwallex and/or may require actions from you. You agree to promptly perform any actions necessary to ensure the most recent POS Software is installed on the Payment Terminal. Failure to install required updates may result in the POS Software becoming unusable, non-compliant with applicable standards, and may result in termination or suspension of your access to the POS Payment Services.

3.3 Intellectual Property. We retain ownership of all intellectual property rights in the POS Software. We hereby grant you a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence, to use and to permit your relevant Affiliates and subcontractors to use, the POS Software including all intellectual property rights contained in the same, solely on Payment Terminals provided by Airwallex and solely for the purpose of processing payments through the POS Payment Services. The provisions of Clause 14 (Intellectual Property Rights) of the Treasury Management Terms apply to the POS Software.

4. Pricing

4.1. Device Pricing. You agree to pay all applicable fees for the purchase of the Payment Terminals, as specified in the Fee Schedule or as otherwise communicated to you by Airwallex. Additional costs, such as shipping and taxes, may apply. 

4.2 Transaction Fees: You will be charged fees for transactions processed through the POS Payment Services, as set forth in the Fee Schedule or as otherwise communicated to you by Airwallex. 

5. Support

8. Termination

8.1 This termination clause supplements the termination clause of the Agreement. Termination of the Agreement automatically terminates these Terms and all rights to use the POS Payment Services, Payment Terminals, and POS Software.

8.2 In addition to its suspension and termination rights under the Agreement, Airwallex may, with immediate effect, suspend or terminate your access to the POS Payment Services, Payment Terminals, and POS Software if Airwallex ends support for the specific Payment Terminal model or POS Software version you are using. 

8.3 Upon termination of these Terms, you retain ownership of any purchased Payment Terminals.
