  1. SERVICES

PayByFace services represent a technology platform which helps you, the User, make payments to third parties, the Merchants, through face recognition on top of other multi-factor authentication methods.

TAKE KNOWLEDGE THAT:

PayByFace is only a technology provider and while operating on the PayByFace platform, PayByFace shall by no means enter into the possession of the funds due to Merchants or Users and there is no actual transfer of funds from Users to PayByFace or from PayByFace to Merchants during a merchant transaction; the sole amount paid to PayByFace is a card processing convenience fee of one 1,00 RON every time the User adds a new bank card into the PayByFace platform so we can verify your access to funds. This card processing convenience fee will be refunded within 2-3 business days for all new users adding a new card as of 10 August, 2020 which get tokenised with Euplatesc.ro in Romania. The payments and transactions at Merchant locations are performed by using PayByFace on-demand distributed biometric payment technology and take place directly between the Users, Merchants, 3rd Party Payment Providers and Banks or, as the case may be in Romania, between Users and Merchants by our 3rd party payment provider euplatesc.ro.

PayByFace is an independent contractor and is not your agent or trustee.

Your PayByFace account is not a bank account. PayByFace is not an issuing bank, seller, processor or depository institution. You are conducting transactions with third parties using PayByFace are between you and that third party’s card processing service provider, and not with PayByFace or any affiliates. PayByFace is the owner of PayByFace platform and is not a party to your transactions at participating Merchant locations.

Unregistered users are not permitted to use the services and any attempts to do so can trigger legal proceedings against such persons.

We only provide our site for domestic and private use. Our services, including creating and using a PayByFace User account are made available free of charge for Users.

  1. YOUR USE OF SERVICES

To use most aspects of the services, you must register and maintain an active personal user account of the Services (the “User Account”). In order to register your User Account, you will need to submit certain personal data (herein inclusive biometric data too) to PayByFace. Detailed information related to what personal data you need to share with us and how we manage your personal data you can find at https://paybyface.io/privacy.

You are responsible for all activities carried out through your User Account and you may open only one PayByFace account.

Payments which are carried out through PayByFace platform should be in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

  1. HOW IT WORKS

The User uses the PayByFace technology to authorise payment at the merchant’s point of sale (mPOS) terminal using the PayByFace Merchant Kiosk Retail System and app using a face recognition engine.

Registered PayByFace Users can shop and pay for goods and services using their face/biometric identification only at Merchants enrolled in PayByFace who have a PayByFace Merchant Kiosk Retail System installed and integrated in their stores.

Face detection and face recognition is processed locally on the PayByFace Merchant Kiosk Retail System device and your “selfie” photo file is not uploaded or downloaded or saved on any server for our face recognition process to function. Your biometric face template is a unique unidentifiable and encrypted data that we use to match your real-time video capture image with your PayByFace account at the point of purchase directly on the PayByFace Merchant Kiosk Retail System. Account security settings are also checked against PayByFace API for any user or transaction restrictions or fraud alerts on your account or if the face matching service has an issue with accuracy/duplicates. If necessary, the User will need to type in their PIN-ON-GLASS 4-digit secret code into the PayByFace Merchant Kiosk Retail System during checkout for manual confirmation and authorization to process the transaction.

User gets to visually verify the total purchase price and confirms they want to proceed with the transaction after passing the secret code and face recognition steps from above.

PayByFace sends the transaction details to the 3rd Party Payment Gateway for processing (in Romania this service is provided by euplatesc.ro). For more details on euplatesc.ro system please view their F.A.Q. webpage located at https://www.euplatesc.ro/faqs.php.

New User’s can register a new PayByFace account through our PayByFace Consumer App available for free download on iOS or Android smartphone device from both Google Play Store and Apple App Store.

For new users, after they download the app and register, the user receives a welcome e-mail with login details, then users login to manage their account available on both iOS and Android mobile smartphones.

Existing User’s can manage their digital wallet via the PayByFace mobile smartphone app and add/remove debit or credit cards.

Users can add one active card at any time in their PayByFace app, view their profile and add/update/delete their account profile from the app, view transaction history, initiate disputes on transactions with Merchants directly via email, report a fraud alert, update their basic account information and update their biometric face template data.
