Terms and Conditions
These terms govern your use of ZAZZpay's platform. In plain terms: you sell your merchandise, we handle the payment technology. You remain the seller and keep responsibility for your products and taxes. We take our fee automatically at the point of sale. The detailed terms below set out the rights and obligations of both parties.
These are the terms and conditions of ZAZZpay B.V. i.o. (ZAZZpay). ZAZZpay is located in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. If you have any questions, you can contact us via mail at: hello@zazzpay.com. ZAZZpay reserves the right to change these terms and conditions. You agree that the most recent version of these terms and conditions apply. Parties may deviate from these Terms and Conditions in writing.
1. Services
ZAZZpay provides software, operational infrastructure and support services for cashless payment acceptance for merchandise sales at live events, including the facilitation of tap-to-pay transactions through third party payment service providers. ZAZZpay itself does not provide regulated payment services, hold client funds or act as a bank, payment institution or electronic money institution. Payment processing services are facilitated through third party payment service providers engaged by ZAZZpay, to whose terms, conditions and policies Client may be subject as a connected account. ZAZZpay facilitates payment acceptance and related operational workflows on behalf of Client through integrations with third party payment service providers.
2. Role of ZAZZpay and Agency Appointment
Client appoints ZAZZpay as its disclosed collection and settlement agent for the purpose of facilitating merchandise sales in connection with Client's events and activities. Client remains the legal seller of all merchandise and is solely responsible for the sale thereof. ZAZZpay is not the seller of merchandise and ownership of merchandise never transfers to ZAZZpay. The sale of merchandise is concluded directly between the consumer and Client at the point of transaction. ZAZZpay facilitates the payment for such sales solely in its capacity as agent and is not a party to the sale. ZAZZpay is authorised to collect payments on Client's behalf through third party payment service providers. Payment received by ZAZZpay in its capacity as agent constitutes valid payment to Client.
3. Applicability of these General Terms and Conditions
These terms and conditions apply to every offer, proposal and agreement between ZAZZpay and you (Client). On request, ZAZZpay shall send these terms and conditions to you, free of charge. They are also available on www.zazzpay.com.
4. Establishment of the Agreement and Client Representations
The agreement shall be deemed established when Client completes the digital onboarding process and accepts these terms and conditions through ZAZZpay's platform, or when Client and ZAZZpay execute a written Client Services Agreement, whichever occurs first. Acceptance through the platform shall be deemed equivalent to a written confirmation for all purposes under these terms and conditions.
4.1. Client represents and warrants that it is not, and is not owned or controlled by any person or entity that is: (a) subject to sanctions administered by the European Union, the United Nations, the United States Office of Foreign Assets Control, or any other applicable sanctions authority; or (b) located in, organised under the laws of, or ordinarily resident in a jurisdiction subject to comprehensive sanctions.
4.2. Client shall not use the Services in violation of applicable sanctions, export control laws or anti-money laundering regulations. Client shall promptly notify ZAZZpay if Client becomes subject to any sanctions or if any of the foregoing representations cease to be accurate.
4.3. ZAZZpay may immediately suspend or terminate the agreement without liability if ZAZZpay reasonably determines that continued provision of the Services would violate applicable sanctions or export control laws.
4.4. ZAZZpay reserves the right to refuse or reject any onboarding application or request for access to the Services at any time, including where ZAZZpay determines in its reasonable discretion that acceptance would conflict with applicable laws or regulations, the requirements of third party payment service providers, or ZAZZpay's risk or compliance policies. ZAZZpay is not required to provide reasons for any such refusal.
4.5. Client represents and warrants that it has the legal right to sell the merchandise offered through the Services and is entitled to receive and apply all proceeds arising from such sales.
5. Proposals and Offers
5.1. All offers and proposals from ZAZZpay are non-binding, unless agreed otherwise in writing. An offer or proposal only applies to the Services and pricing specified therein and does not constitute a commitment to provide Services on the same terms in the future.
5.2. If the Client provides ZAZZpay with certain information, ZAZZpay may assume that the provided information is correct and will base the proposal on that information.
6. Pricing
6.1. ZAZZpay reserves the right to adjust its pricing at any time, provided that ZAZZpay shall give Client reasonable prior written notice of any such adjustment. If Client does not agree with the proposed price adjustment, Client may terminate the agreement in accordance with the notice period set out in Article 9.
6.2. All pricing is exclusive of taxes and levies imposed by any authority, including but not limited to VAT.
6.3. Client is solely responsible for determining, collecting, reporting and remitting all VAT, sales taxes, duties and similar indirect taxes arising from the sale of merchandise through the Services. ZAZZpay does not provide tax advice and makes no representation regarding the tax treatment of any transaction. ZAZZpay's platform processes transaction amounts as entered by Client without product classification or VAT categorisation. Any VAT figures displayed are derived solely from rates and amounts entered by Client. ZAZZpay makes no representation as to the accuracy or completeness of such figures for tax reporting purposes, and Client remains solely responsible for applying the correct VAT rate to each transaction and for all related tax filings and remittances.
7. Statements and Payment Obligations
7.1. ZAZZpay shall provide Client with a monthly statement of transactions processed through the Services. In addition, Client may generate statements for any self-selected period through ZAZZpay's dashboard, subject to the service availability provisions of Article 12.2. All statements are provided for informational and administrative purposes only. ZAZZpay makes no representation as to the suitability of such statements for any specific regulatory, customs or tax purpose, and Client remains solely responsible for ensuring compliance with any applicable reporting or documentation requirements.
7.2. ZAZZpay's service fees are automatically deducted at the point of transaction. In the event that any additional amounts become payable by Client to ZAZZpay - including as a result of chargebacks, adjustments, or other liabilities as set out in these terms and conditions - ZAZZpay shall first offset such amounts against any pending settlements due to Client. Where pending settlements are insufficient to cover the outstanding amount, ZAZZpay shall invoice Client separately and Client must pay such amounts within fourteen days of the invoice date.
7.3. If Client fails to pay any amount due within the applicable payment term, Client shall be in default automatically and without any further notice being required. From the date of default, Client owes ZAZZpay interest at the statutory commercial rate plus 1% per annum, calculated from the date payment was due until the date of full payment.
7.4. If Client remains in default, Client shall also owe ZAZZpay all reasonable costs incurred in recovering the outstanding amount, calculated in accordance with the statutory scale for extrajudicial collection costs applicable under Dutch law.
7.5. Any amounts owed by Client to ZAZZpay become immediately due and payable in the following circumstances:
- Client fails to pay within the applicable payment term;
- Client becomes insolvent, is declared bankrupt, or applies for suspension of payments or any equivalent insolvency procedure;
- Client is dissolved or liquidated;
- ZAZZpay terminates the agreement pursuant to Article 16.1.
8. Settlement and Payment Flows
8.1. ZAZZpay shall remit to Client the proceeds of merchandise sales collected on Client's behalf, less ZAZZpay's fees and any amounts ZAZZpay is entitled to deduct or withhold under these terms and conditions or applicable law. Settlement timing is indicative only and subject to the processing timelines of third party payment service providers. ZAZZpay may delay or withhold settlement where required by applicable law, a third party payment service provider, or where ZAZZpay reasonably suspects fraudulent or unlawful activity, but shall not unreasonably or unnecessarily withhold or delay settlement due to Client. ZAZZpay may offset against settlement amounts any fees, chargebacks, refunds, reserves, fines or other liabilities attributable to Client's transactions.
8.2. Client further agrees to comply with all applicable requirements imposed by ZAZZpay's payment service providers and card schemes. Client acknowledges that ZAZZpay may take any action reasonably required to comply with such requirements, including imposing transaction limits, requesting additional documentation or suspending access to the Services.
9. Duration
9.1. Client and ZAZZpay enter into the agreement for an indefinite period of time, unless Parties agree otherwise. For an agreement of an indefinite term, the following notice periods apply:
- ZAZZpay can terminate the agreement per every first day of the month. The notice period is 1 month. ZAZZpay terminates the agreement by means of written notice, which may be delivered by email or through ZAZZpay's platform.
- The Client can terminate the agreement per every first day of the month. For the Client a notice period is 1 month. The Client terminates the agreement by means of written notice delivered by email or through ZAZZpay's platform.
- Parties can terminate an agreement at any given time by mutual consent.
10. Onboarding and Information Requirements
ZAZZpay's provision of the Services is conditional upon receipt of all information and documentation required for Client's onboarding. The Services shall not commence until ZAZZpay has received and processed all required information. Client shall promptly respond to any requests for additional information required to complete onboarding or to maintain compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
Client may grant access to the Services to authorised users, including employees, contractors and representatives acting on Client's behalf. Client remains fully responsible for all actions taken by authorised users under Client's account.

However, ZAZZpay does not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free, or continuous availability of its Services. ZAZZpay expressly excludes any warranty, whether express or implied, regarding the fitness of its Services for any particular purpose, including use at time-sensitive events. Scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, technical failures or circumstances beyond ZAZZpay's reasonable control may result in temporary unavailability of the Services. ZAZZpay shall not be liable for any damages arising from such unavailability.
12.3. The availability and performance of the Services may depend on third party systems and infrastructure, including payment service providers, telecommunications networks, internet connectivity, hardware providers and banking networks.

Client acknowledges that live event environments may involve elevated operational risks, including network congestion, connectivity interruptions and third party service instability.
