You are responsible for providing accurate registration information and for keeping your registration information up to date, or notifying us in the event of changes. Changes to your primary residence address may require you to accept new Google Wallet terms of service for the country to which you have moved. In addition, as certain services are currently offered only in select countries, changes to your primary residence address may result in your becoming ineligible for certain services.
2.4 Relation to your Google Account
In order to use Google Wallet Services, you must have a Google Account which is in good standing with Google, in accordance with the Google Terms of Service. If you or Google closes your Google Account for any reason, your Google Wallet Account will also be closed and you will no longer be able to access the Google Wallet Services.

3.2 Online Card Processing Service
The Online Card Processing Service facilitates a credit or debit card purchase by a Buyer from a Seller that is registered with GPC to receive certain merchant payment processing services.

When Buyer chooses to pay for Products with the Processing Service, Buyer authorizes the Seller to submit charges (and, in the case of refunds, credits) to Buyer's registered Payment Instrument. GPC will assist as agent of the Seller in accessing the card networks and processing the Payment Transaction. Once Buyer's registered Payment Instrument is authorized, Buyer's payment obligation to Seller shall be deemed completed and discharged (except for Buyer's obligations in the event of a chargeback or other reversal). Purchases made through the Online Card Processing Service are also subject to the terms and conditions governing Buyer's Payment Instrument between Buyer and the issuer of the Payment Instrument. Buyer is responsible for any charges and related fees that may be imposed under the Payment Instrument terms and conditions as a result of Buyer's use of a Payment Instrument.
You acknowledge and agree that your purchases of Products are transactions between you and the Seller, and not with GPC, Google or any of their affiliates. Neither GPC nor Google are a party to your Payment Transaction for the purchase of Products, and GPC, Google, or other GPC affiliates are not a Buyer or a Seller in connection with any Payment Transaction, unless expressly designated as such in the listing of the Product on a Google Web Site.

The Purchase Amount will continue to be charged to your Payment Instrument, until you cancel your subscription, unless as otherwise stated in the terms and conditions. The billing rate is subject to change by the Seller during the subscription period.
Your Payment Instrument will be billed each period based on the date of the subscription purchase.
You may cancel a subscription at any time, but the cancellation will not become effective until the end of the current billing period. You will not receive a refund for the current billing period.

If you are a California resident, you hereby expressly waive California Civil Code §1542, which states: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if not known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."

6.1 Google Wallet Balance
(a) Creating Google Wallet Balance. You may maintain funds in your Google Wallet Account, and such funds will be known as your Google Wallet Balance. To create a Google Wallet Balance, you will first be asked to provide certain registration information, as described in Section 2 above.
Funds can be accumulated in your Google Wallet Balance by means of: (i) a transfer of funds from a Funding Account; (ii) funds received from a Sender; and / or, (iii) a credit issued to you in accordance with the terms of the Google Wallet Balance Customer Service and Error Resolution Policy, or as a courtesy by GPC or Google. We can institute limits on amounts you can add to your Wallet Balance using your Funding Accounts in our discretion and without notice. GPC will use commercially reasonable efforts to make funds available to you no later than three (3) business days after GPC receives final settlement of the funding transaction.
For any transfer from a Funding Account which is a credit card, if your credit card issuer deems your addition of funds to your Google Wallet Balance to be a cash advance transaction or a similar non-purchase transaction, you may incur cash advance or similar fees assessed by your credit card issuer. Please refer to your agreement with your Funding Account provider for information on whether cash advance fees may be incurred.
All Google Wallet Balances will be maintained in a deposit account at a Partner Bank. GPC is not a bank and does not accept deposits or maintain deposit obligations for you. Funds held by GPC or its service providers, including Google Wallet Balances and other funds relating to the P2P service, are not deposit obligations of users and are not insured for the benefit of users by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") or any other governmental agency.
(b) Withdrawal of Google Wallet Balances. You may register an ACH-enabled checking or savings account as the Funding Account for your Google Wallet Balance in order to withdraw funds from your Google Wallet Balance. If you are permitted by GPC to withdraw funds to a bank account, you must be the named account-holder of both the Google Wallet Balance and the bank account to which funds are withdrawn, or the withdrawal will not be processed. You can also withdraw funds in the form of cash at certain automatic teller machines, via over the counter transactions, and via point of sale transactions with the use of the Google Wallet Card. Withdrawals may be processed in part by third parties (such as your account-holding bank). We are not responsible for withdrawn funds once provided to the third party for delivery to you at your request or upon distribution of your Google Wallet Balance to you in cash. You are solely responsible for any fees that may be charged to you by a third party for processing a withdrawal. GPC will not be responsible for withdrawals provided to the wrong party or account, or where you provided incorrect withdrawal account details to GPC.
(c) Use of Google Wallet Balances. You may use your available Google Wallet Balance for P2P Payments, Payment Transactions on Google Play, in-store payments using the Google Mobile Wallet, to make point of sale transactions using a Google Wallet Card or the Google Wallet application if you have mobile device with an NFC chip, and withdrawals as described in Section 6.1(b) above.
(d) Limits. No transaction using your Google Wallet Balance, including with your Google Wallet Card or any P2P transfer, may exceed Ten-Thousand Dollars ($10,000) as an individual transaction or Fifty-Thousand Dollars ($50,000) in aggregate transactions over five (5) days. The Google Wallet Card has a maximum spending limit of $5,000 per 24 hour period, and a cash withdrawal limit at ATMs which you can see in your Google Wallet application. GPC or the Partner Bank may impose additional limitations on the dollar amount or frequency of any withdrawals permitted; these limitations are subject to change.
(e) No Interest On Google Wallet Balances. GPC and the Partner Bank do not pay interest to you on Google Wallet Balances or any other funds. You assign to GPC the right to earn interest on funds in the deposit account of the Partner Bank, in consideration of your use of the Service.
(f) Negative Google Wallet Balances. If for any reason, your Google Wallet Balance becomes negative, you authorize GPC to:
i. Initiate a debit or charge to your Funding Accounts in your Google Wallet Account to bring your Google Wallet Balance to $0 and / or

Your authorizations under this Section 6.1(f) remain in effect while you are a Customer and for a period of ninety (90) days following termination or cancellation of the Services.
(g) Liability for Failure to Make Transactions. We may restrict access to your Google Wallet Balance, including transactions using your Google Wallet Card, Google Wallet Virtual Card, or Google Wallet Online Cards, temporarily or permanently, if we notice suspicious activity in connection with your Google Wallet Balance account. We have no liability for restricting access to the Google Wallet Balance because of suspected suspicious activity. If we do not complete a transaction using your Google Wallet Balance on time or in the correct amount according to our Agreement with you (other than for restrictions because of suspicious activity), we will be liable for the correct amount of the transfer. However, there are some exceptions. We will not be liable, for instance:
- If through no fault of ours, a merchant refuses to honor a transaction using your Google Wallet Balance;
- If through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money available in your Google Wallet Balance to make a purchase;
- If the terminal or system was not working properly;
- If the transaction information supplied by you or a third party is incorrect or untimely;

In addition, we will also not be liable for Google Wallet Card transactions in the following circumstances:
- If the Google Wallet Card is expired, damaged or revoked; or

6.4 Using Gmail to Initiate P2P Payments
If you have a Gmail account as part of your Google Account, you may initiate a P2P Payment through the Gmail account interface. However, although you are using Gmail to access your Google Wallet Account, you may be asked to provide login information for Google Wallet in order to initiate such P2P Payment.
To access the Google Wallet P2P Payment feature from Gmail, you must click on the $ icon in the Gmail email message. You must follow the steps in the Google Wallet/Gmail interface to identify the email address of the Recipient, the P2P Payment amount, and the Google Wallet Balance or the Funding Account for the P2P Payment. You may enter only one Recipient email address as the Recipient of the P2P Payment. You will also have the option to enter a "memo" or note for the P2P Payment, which may be retained by GPC as part of the P2P Payment record.
Upon confirmation of the P2P Payment by you, the P2P Payment will be processed by Google Wallet, and the Recipient will receive the email message you sent via Gmail, providing information to him or her about the P2P Payment. P2P Payments initiated through Gmail are subject to the same terms of this agreement as all other P2P Payments, and the Recipient must take the same steps to access the funds as for any other P2P Payment.
In the event that you have created a Google+ profile that includes your photo(s), such photo(s) may be visible to Senders and Recipients and included in your email message. You may limit the sharing of your photos by changing the settings of your Google+ profile in your Google+ account.
The text of Gmail email messages for P2P Payments, any accompanying photo(s), and any other attachments, data, or information included in such messages (other than that discussed above), are not considered part of P2P Payments processed by GPC.

If you do make a purchase or other transaction that exceeds the balance available in your Google Wallet Balance, you agree that we can recover any negative balance incurred as indicated in Section 6.1(f).
If you have zero or negative Google Wallet Balance, any subsequent transaction authorizations using your Google Wallet Balance will be declined. Any transaction attempted for more than the amount available in your Google Wallet Balance may be declined if that merchant does not accept more than one form of payment. Certain merchants, such as restaurants and hotels, may factor in a tip of 20% or more on your purchase amount when authorizing a transaction. If your bill plus the factored tip is greater than your Google Wallet Balance, then your purchase will be declined. This factored tip will be held against your Google Wallet Balance until the actual purchase and tip amount posts to your Google Wallet Balance account. In addition, the transaction limits set forth in Section 6.1(d) also apply to your use of the Google Wallet Card. GPC may also set forth addition limits on your use of the Google Wallet Card from time to time. Further, there are limits to the amounts that you may withdraw at an ATM, a point of sale cash withdrawal, or over the counter. Please review the limits communicated to you in your Google Wallet application or in your account online.

The owner of the ATM may impose a fee in addition to any fee charged by us. The ATM owner must disclose any fee(s) they charge prior to your confirming the transaction.
