1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS AND OPERATOR STATUS

1.1. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between the independent software operator of payonqr.com (hereinafter referred to as the “Operator”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) and the independent legal entity or sole proprietor registering as a merchant (hereinafter referred to as the “Merchant” or “User”). 1.2. PAY on QR is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) infrastructure platform that enables Merchants to generate virtual Point of Sale (POS) interfaces and QR codes to accept payments from their end-customers. 1.3. ANONYMITY AND TESTING NOTICE: Reflecting the early-stage MVP/Beta status of the Platform, the Operator operates on an unlisted basis and does not publicly disclose personal identity or corporate registry indicators. By registering, the Merchant accepts this operational framework. 1.4. CRITICAL DISCLAIMER: The Operator is NOT a bank, financial institution, payment service provider, or money transmitter. The Operator does NOT hold, pool, manage, transfer, or clear merchant or customer funds.

The Merchant is responsible for completing all Know-Your-Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) verification procedures required by Stripe.

The standard software commission is denominated in Euro (€) and structured in dynamic cumulative lifetime tiers based on the total successful transaction count since account creation:

  • Tier 1 (0 to 10 lifetime successful payments): 1.5% of the gross transaction value.

  • Tier 2 (11 to 20 lifetime successful payments): 1.2% of the gross transaction value.

  • Tier 3 (21+ lifetime successful payments): 1.0% of the gross transaction value (this rate remains fixed permanently and does not reset monthly). 3.4. Refund Policy: In the event of a full or partial refund initiated by the Merchant or their staff to an end-customer, the Platform software commission (application_fee) is strictly non-refundable.
