Thank you for choosing to use your Mastercard card. Mastercard International Incorporated (including its subsidiaries and affiliates, “Mastercard”) uses global standards to support the creation and usage of Mastercard Click to Pay (“Mastercard Click to Pay”) profile and Payment Information (defined below) when you shop or make payments online on a mobile device or in other electronic commerce environments and when you choose to save your card with a favourite merchant or e-commerce site. Your Mastercard Click to Pay profile and Payment Information are collectively referred to as your “Click to Pay Profile”.
These Terms of Use (“TOU”) and the Mastercard Click to Pay Online Privacy Notice (“Privacy Notice”) and, together with these TOU, these “Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and Mastercard. BY CREATING AND USING A CLICK TO PAY PROFILE, YOU AGREE TO ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS IN THESE TERMS, AND ALL OTHER RULES, POLICIES AND PROCEDURES RELATING TO YOUR CLICK TO PAY PROFILE THAT MASTERCARD MAY PROVIDE YOU FROM TIME TO TIME (AS DESCRIBED IN THESE TERMS).
PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE TERMS DO NOT MODIFY, OR HAVE ANY OTHER IMPACT ON, THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS YOU HAVE WITH YOUR ISSUER(S) RELATING TO YOUR MASTERCARD CARD(S).
“You” (and all of its derivations) means you individually and any person acting as your agent, under your authority, or with your permission. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, YOU MUST NOT REGISTER FOR OR USE YOUR CLICK TO PAY PROFILE. YOUR CLICK TO PAY PROFILE IS INTENDED FOR USE IN THE AUTHORIZED COUNTRIES ONLY.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, these Terms provide that all disputes between you and Mastercard will be resolved by BINDING ARBITRATION. YOU AGREE TO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights under this contract, except for matters that may be taken to small claims court. Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury, and your claims cannot be brought as a class action (if class action claims can be filed in your jurisdiction). Please review Dispute Resolution and Arbitration for the details regarding your agreement to arbitrate any disputes with Mastercard.
Your Click to Pay Profile
If your country of residence changes, you must promptly delete your existing Click to Pay Profile and create a new one when Click to Pay is available in your new location. If you create a Click to Pay Profile, Mastercard may store the information provided by you (or through an entity you authorize) to Mastercard (or an entity acting on Mastercard’s behalf), including, but not limited to: payment information (including payment card or account number and expiration date); billing and shipping information; a valid email address; mobile phone number; and other information relating to making e-commerce payments with your Mastercard credit, debit, and prepaid cards or accounts (“Cards”).
To help protect your Cards, Mastercard may generate one or more numerical surrogates of your Card credentials (also called a token) to be used during transaction processing, and potentially provisioning of your card details (at your choice) with e-commerce merchants and other sites, subject to your Card’s eligibility for tokenization. Your Card number and tokens will both be stored and may be used for transactions.
Your Card issuer may also provide information about your Card account to Mastercard, without further action on your part, to help us provide a better service to you. For example, this information may include the availability of rewards points that may be available to use for your transaction, and other Card-related benefits that may be relevant to the transaction you are trying to make with your Click to Pay Profile. Mastercard presents this information as-is, as received from the issuer of your Card. If you have questions about your Card-related information that you see in connection with using your Click to Pay Profile, please contact your Card issuer.
We may take steps to update certain information about your Card (e.g., Card number and expiration date) using information and third-party sources available to us, without any action on your part. If you do not want us to update your Card information, you may remove that Card from your Click to Pay Profile. If we update your payment method, we will keep any preference setting attached to such payment method.
All of the information in your Click to Pay Profile are collectively referred to in these Terms as your “Payment Information.”
You must use only valid email addresses and phone numbers owned or controlled by you. When you store a Card in your Click to Pay Profile, you are representing and warranting that you are a valid holder or authorized user of that Card.
You are solely responsible for maintaining up-to-date and accurate information in your Click to Pay Profile, including all Payment Information. Mastercard has no responsibility for the authenticity, validity, accuracy, or completeness of the Payment Information that Mastercard transmits on your behalf.
Mastercard recognizes the importance of respecting your privacy. The Privacy Notice provides a description of how Mastercard collects, uses, shares, and protects your personal information in connection with your Click to Pay Profile, as well as the choices and access rights you have in regard to your personal information. Your addresses may be automatically filled when you register for Click to Pay. Click to Pay relies on a third-party web application from Google to provide this address auto-fill functionality, where available. The text you enter, the addresses you select and your IP address are processed by Google, in order for this auto-fill to work, in accordance with Google's terms of service and privacy policy.
You are responsible for maintaining adequate security and control of any and all emails, passwords, telephone numbers, personal identification numbers, or any other codes that you use to access your Click to Pay Profile. In addition, you are responsible for maintaining adequate security and control of all devices that you use to access your Click to Pay Profile through the use of passwords, PINs, biometrics or other appropriate authentication methods.
You are responsible for all activities that occur through or by usage of your Click to Pay Profile, including the activities of others (whether or not the activities are authorized). You must immediately notify Mastercard of unauthorized access to or use of your Click to Pay Profile. Neither Mastercard nor its agents will be liable for any loss or damages of any kind that may arise as a result of the unauthorized access to or use of your Click to Pay Profile or any Payment Information (with or without your knowledge), except to the extent the foregoing limitation is prohibited under applicable law.
Making Payments
Your Click to Pay Profile may be used to help you transact with merchants or make payments with your Card in different ways.
Transactions
You can access your Click to Pay Profile to check out with merchants who accept Mastercard through an industry standard e-commerce acceptance interface called Click to Pay. This includes, for example:
- Clicking or tapping where you see
. In instances where images are not displayable, the call to action “Click to Pay” will be displayed as text. - Manually entering a card number or email address wherever you see .
In these instances, when you click or tap on the “Confirm” (or similar) button within your Click to Pay Profile, Mastercard will transmit your selected Payment Information to the merchant.
Each transaction that you make using a Card in your Click to Pay Profile is a contractual relationship directly between you and the merchant, and the merchant’s terms and conditions will govern all aspects of that transaction and the merchant’s use of your Payment Information. Mastercard is not involved in processing your transaction and has no liability to you or the merchant with respect to the transaction.
Other Uses
Your agreement with a merchant or other third party may allow that party to store information provided by you from your Click to Pay Profile, or to connect with Mastercard to receive certain Payment Information (e.g., Card number or a token, and the expiration date), or to validate or receive other Payment Information in your Click to Pay Profile. This may take place either in connection with or independent of any Click to Pay payment transaction.
In these instances, the third parties’ access to and usage of such information is subject to your agreement with the third party, and the third party’s terms and conditions will govern its usage of your information. Mastercard has no liability to you or the third party with respect to the third party’s access to, or usage of, your information.
If you have questions or concerns regarding a third party’s access to any information pursuant to your agreement with that party, please contact that party for information.
Other Mastercard Roles
If you request registration of a non-Mastercard card with Mastercard’s Click to Pay system, Mastercard may transmit your personal information to the Click to Pay system of that card’s payment network (or an entity acting on its behalf). You hereby consent to said transmission and agree that you will not hold Mastercard liable for any harm or loss resulting directly or indirectly therefrom.
When you repeat a Click to Pay checkout with any merchant that accepts Mastercard Click to Pay (“Click to Pay Merchant”), you will be able to view your Cards and designate which should be used for the transaction. You may also be able to securely save your default Card and payment method directly with Mastercard Click to Pay Merchants that offer that feature. After the Mastercard Click to Pay Merchant (or the entity acting on its behalf) receives your Payment Information, it will then submit the transaction for processing.
Use of Your Payment Information
You are solely responsible for ensuring your use of Mastercard Click to Pay complies with the terms and conditions that govern your Cards that you store in and use through your Click to Pay Profile. You are also responsible for all charges or debits to your Cards that result from transactions made using your Payment Information, and any fees that the issuers of your Cards may charge in connection with the transactions. You are solely responsible for reporting and paying any applicable taxes arising from transactions originated using your Payment Information and you will comply with any and all applicable tax laws in connection with these transactions.
Mastercard is not a bank, payment institution, or a money services business as defined by the applicable regulatory body in the Authorized Country having authority to define such entities, and Mastercard does not offer those services. Mastercard does not issue Cards of any kind. Any and all questions or issues regarding any of your Cards should be directed to the bank or financial institution that issued your Card and not to Mastercard. MASTERCARD MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS THAT YOUR CARDS ARE VALID OR IN GOOD STANDING OR THAT THE PARTIES WHO ISSUED YOUR CARDS WILL APPROVE OR HONOR YOUR REQUESTED TRANSACTIONS.
Resolution of Transaction Issues
If you have any concerns with respect to any transaction made using your Click to Pay Profile, you must contact the merchant with which you entered into that transaction. You may also have certain rights and protections under your agreement with the bank or financial institution that issued your Card or under applicable law with respect to the charges for transactions made to your registered Cards. Consult your agreement with your Card issuer for details and applicable laws.

You have no right to use any Trademark in any manner without the advance written permission of the owner of that Trademark.
Using your Click to Pay Profile or other Mastercard systems and services does not give you ownership of any intellectual property rights in the Mastercard Property. Mastercard reserves all rights in the Mastercard Property and Trademarks not expressly granted to you in these Terms.
Products and Services Offered by Merchants
Each purchase using a Card stored in your Click to Pay Profile of a product or service offered by a merchant is subject to that merchant’s specific terms and conditions, which may be set forth in the full description of the product or service and is a contractual relationship directly between you and the merchant. The inclusion of a merchant’s products or services in any product, service, or technology that allows or requires you to checkout with your Click to Pay Profile does not constitute any approval, endorsement, or warranty by Mastercard of the products or services or of the merchant offering them.

Notifications
Unless provided otherwise by Mastercard, all notices required from you under these Terms must be sent to the addresses specified by Mastercard from time to time, in its sole discretion. You consent to receiving certain electronic communications from us as further described in the Privacy Notice. Please read our Privacy Notice to learn more about our electronic communications practices. You agree that any notices, agreements, disclosures, or other communications that we send to you electronically will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including that those communications be in writing.
These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Mastercard with regard to their subject matter.
These Terms do not create and must not be construed as creating a joint venture, co-ownership, partnership, or agency relationship between you and Mastercard.
Mastercard Third Party Beneficiaries
You acknowledge and agree that each affiliate and subsidiary of Mastercard is a third party beneficiary to these Terms and that Mastercard’s affiliates and subsidiaries are entitled to directly enforce, and rely upon, any provision of these Terms which confers a benefit on (or provides rights in favor of) them. No other person or company is a third party beneficiary to these Terms.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York. To the maximum extent permitted by law, you and Mastercard agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts and federal courts located within Westchester County, New York for the purpose of litigating any dispute.
Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
Generally. In the interest of resolving disputes between you and Mastercard in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you and Mastercard agree that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, every dispute arising in connection with these Terms will be resolved by binding arbitration (except as set forth in the following paragraph). Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND MASTERCARD ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR JUDGE OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
Exceptions. Nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable national provincial or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.
Arbitration. Any arbitration between you and Mastercard will be settled under the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act (if you are a resident of the US) or the applicable local arbitration statute, and governed by the Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting Mastercard.
Notice; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if such other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice”). Mastercard's address for Notice is: Mastercard International Incorporated, 2000 Purchase Street, Purchase, NY 10577. The Notice must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, you or Mastercard may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Mastercard must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If the dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, Mastercard will pay you the highest of the following: (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any; (ii) the last written settlement amount offered by Mastercard in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator’s award; or (iii) one thousand U.S. dollars (US $1,000).
Fees. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, Mastercard will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than ten thousand U.S. dollars (US $10,000), in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. If an oral in-person arbitration hearing is necessary, such hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Westchester County, New York (if you are a resident of the US) or in your country of residence, but if the claim is for ten thousand U.S. dollars (US $10,000) or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) in writing solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a non-appearance based telephone or video hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought in bad faith or (if you are a resident of the US) for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in U.S. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse Mastercard for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within fourteen (14) days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.
No Class Actions. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND MASTERCARD AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Mastercard agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
Modifications to this Arbitration Provision. If Mastercard makes any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to Mastercard's address for Notice, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within thirty (30) days of the change to Mastercard's address for Notice, in which case your account with Mastercard will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.
Enforceability. If the “No Class Actions” provision is found to be unenforceable, or if the entirety of this ”Dispute Resolution and Arbitration” section is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this section will be null and void and, in that case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described under ”Governing Law” will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.
Mastercard’s failure or delay to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms or any rights under applicable law will not constitute a waiver of any of those provisions or rights. If any provision of these Terms is found by an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties agree that the arbitrator or court will endeavour to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.
The section headings in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. For purposes of these Terms, (a) the words “include,” “includes” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (b) the words “such as”, “for example” “e.g.” and any derivatives of those words will mean by way of example and the items that follow these words will not be deemed an exhaustive list; (c) the word “or” is used in the inclusive sense of “and/or” and the terms “or,” “any,” and “either” are not exclusive; and (d) the singular includes the plural and the plural includes the singular. No ambiguity will be construed against any party based on a claim that the party drafted the language.
You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms. Any purported transfer or assignment in violation of the foregoing will be invalid.
