FEES AND PAYMENT

Paythen reserves the right to require payment of fees for certain or all Services. You shall pay all applicable fees, as described on the Website in connection with such Services selected by you. Paythen reserves the right to change its price list and to institute new charges at any time, upon notice to you, which may be sent by email or posted on the Website. Your use of the Services following such notification constitutes your acceptance of any new or increased charges. Any fees paid hereunder are non-refundable. Although if you ask nicely, we often will refund them ✌️

Paythen fees are typically charged automatically as each payment is processed – so no manual payments are needed. However in some countries, because of Stripe and legal restrictions, these automated charges are not possible. In those instances, Paythen will manually invoice you depending on your payment volume, either monthly, quarterly, or annually (or longer if payment volume is lower). This invoice is due within 7 days of issuance. There are no additional charges for this. By creating a Paythen account, you understand and agree to this payment arrangement, should it apply to you. At the moment, this applies to various countries, including but not limited to Malaysia, Brazil, India and others.

TAXES

“Taxes” means all taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fines or similar governmental assessments imposed by any jurisdiction, country or any subdivision or authority thereof including, but not limited to federal, state or local sales, VAT, GST, use, property, excise, service, transaction, privilege, occupation, gross receipts or similar taxes, in any way connected with this Agreement or agreement required hereunder, and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect thereto, except such taxes imposed on or measured by a party’s net income. All prices, fees and other charges payable under this Agreement or agreement ancillary to or referenced by this Agreement, shall not include any Taxes. You agree to bear and be responsible for all such Taxes. You shall make all payments required without deduction of any Taxes, except as required by law, in which case the amount payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making any required deductions and withholdings, Paythen receives and retains (free from any liability for payment of Taxes) an amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made.

You shall comply with all applicable tax laws and regulations, and you shall provide Paythen all necessary assistance to facilitate the recovery or refund of any VAT paid by Paythen in relation to the Services to the respective government or authority. You hereby agree to indemnify Paythen for any Taxes and related costs paid or payable by Paythen attributable to Taxes that would have been your responsibility under this section if invoiced to you. You shall promptly pay or reimburse Paythen for all costs and damages related to any liability incurred by Paythen as a result of your non-compliance or delay with its responsibilities herein. Your obligation under this section shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

If you are based in Australia, any fees you pay to Paythen include a 10% GST amount, essentially giving you a 10% discount 🙌 🇦🇺. No GST or VAT is applicable in other countries as payments are received and processed in Australia using Stripe.
