As referenced in Section 4 above – When you open a 4PAY Digital Wallet account, you must provide 4PAY with Personal Information. When you use 4PAY Digital Wallet, some of this Personal Information, and additional Personal Information relating to your transactions, will be disclosed to and shared among 4PAY, Vendors, Card Issuers, Payment Processors, and third parties contracted by or otherwise affiliated with 4PAY that provide products or services that are necessary or desirable to assure the performance and functionality of 4PAY Digital Wallet (collectively “4PAY Contractors”).

- Informal Dispute Resolution
If you have a claim, demand, complaint, controversy, or dispute of any kind whatsoever that relates to or arises from this Agreement, 4PAY Digital Wallet, or the relationship between us (each, a “Dispute”), please contact our Customer Support Portal at 4PAY.CA or by telephone at 1-844-877-4PAY (4729), and we will do our best to resolve the Dispute with you. However, please recall that, as this Agreement states in several places, 4PAY is not responsible for the acts or failures to act of third parties or for products and services provided by third parties. If you have a complaint about a product, you must contact the Vendor and, perhaps, the distributor or manufacturer. If you have a dispute regarding a credit card bill, you must contact your Card Issuer and, perhaps, the Vendor. If you have a complaint or dispute regarding loyalty points or other rewards, you must contact the applicable Vendor or Card Issuer. 4PAY has no responsibility for such matters, and the term “Dispute” does not include third-party complaints or disputes with third parties.
If 4PAY has a claim, demand, complaint, controversy, or dispute of any kind whatsoever with you that relates to or arises from this Agreement, 4PAY Digital Wallet, or the relationship between us, 4PAY’s claim, demand, complaint, or dispute shall be deemed a “Dispute” and, before initiating arbitration on the terms and conditions set forth in Section 14 below, 4PAY first shall contact you and attempt to resolve the Dispute on an informal basis.
The term “Dispute” includes claims, demands, complaints, controversies, and disputes of every kind and nature whatsoever, including those based on contract, tort, statute, law, equity, or any other legal theory.
- Binding Arbitration of Disputes
Summary: In the unlikely event that, after contacting our Customer Support Department to resolve a Dispute with 4PAY on the informal basis contemplated by Section 13 above, the Dispute remains unresolved, you and 4PAY agree to resolve the Dispute through binding arbitration by the Canadian Arbitration Association (“CAA”). If 4PAY has a Dispute with you that it has not been able to resolve on the informal basis contemplated by Section 13, 4PAY also agrees to resolve the Dispute through binding arbitration by the CAA.
Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or a jury, generally permits less discovery than is available in a court proceeding, and the arbitrator’s decision or award is subject to very limited court review. The arbitrator can award the same damages and relief that a judge or other court official could award if a Dispute relating to or arising from this Agreement were the subject of a court proceeding. However, arbitration under this Agreement will be on an individual basis. That is, we agree that class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and other group or collective actions are not permitted under this Agreement.
If you initiate arbitration of a Dispute that is not frivolous, 4PAY will pay all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees, regardless of whether the arbitrator decides in favor of you or 4PAY. If, however, the arbitrator decides that either the substance of your Dispute or the relief you sought is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, then the payment of all such fees will be governed by the applicable rules of the CAA. The arbitrator may award attorneys’ fees and costs in accordance with applicable law, but 4PAY agrees that it shall not be entitled to attorneys’ fees, even if the arbitrator decides in favor of 4PAY, unless the arbitrator determines that either the substance of your Dispute or the relief you sought is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, in which case the payment of attorneys’ fees shall be governed by the applicable rules of the CAA.
Arbitration Agreement: The following provisions shall apply to arbitration under this User Agreement:
(a) To the maximum extent permitted by law, you and 4PAY agree to resolve any and all Disputes that have not been resolved through the informal process contemplated by Section 13 above by submitting the unresolved Dispute to binding arbitration by the Canadian Arbitration Association (www.canadianarbitrationassociation.ca) in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (collectively, the “Rules”). Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Rules (including the Optional Rules for Emergency Measures of Protection), and judgment on the arbitrator’s award may be entered in any appropriate court that has jurisdiction;
(b) You may access the Rules, which are subject to change by the CAA from time to time, at www.canadianarbitrationassociation.ca or at 1-800-856-5154. You or 4PAY may initiate arbitration of a Dispute in the manner provided for in the Rules, except that you or 4PAY, as applicable, must commence arbitration within one (1) year after the occurrence of the event or the act or the failure to act on which the Dispute is based;
(c) There shall be a single arbitrator, and you and 4PAY must agree upon the arbitrator within the time period and in the manner provided by the Rules. If you and 4PAY are unable to agree upon an arbitrator, the CAA shall select the arbitrator in accordance with the Rules. The arbitrator shall have at least ten (10) years of experience as an arbitrator and shall be knowledgeable of the specific subject matter of the Dispute. Unless you and 4PAY agree otherwise, the arbitration shall be conducted in the City of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, except that, if you are a consumer and the Dispute relates to your purchase of goods or services for personal, family, or household use, you may require that the arbitration be conducted in the county or parish in the Canada in which you reside. If you are a consumer and the Dispute relates to your purchase of goods or services for personal, family, or household use, you may pursue resolution of the Dispute in a small claims court that has jurisdiction.
(d) As provided in the Rules, you or 4PAY may seek interim measures (such as a temporary injunction) either pursuant to the Optional Rules for Emergency Measures of Protection, or in separate judicial proceeding limited to temporary, interim relief. The arbitrator shall have the discretion and authority to order such depositions as the arbitrator considers necessary for a full and fair exploration of the issues the Dispute presents, consistent with the nature of an arbitration proceeding conducted in accordance with the Rules;
(e) The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written explanation of the legal and factual basis of the arbitrator’s award that is sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding, and it may be entered as a judgment in any appropriate court that has jurisdiction. 4PAY shall pay all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees, regardless of whether the arbitrator decides in favor of you or 4PAY, unless the arbitrator determines that either the substance of your Dispute or the relief you sought is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, in which case the payment of all such fees will be governed by the Rules. The arbitrator may award attorneys’ fees and costs in accordance with applicable law, but 4PAY agrees that it shall not be entitled to attorneys’ fees, even if the arbitrator decides in favor of 4PAY, unless the arbitrator determines that either the substance of your Dispute or the relief you sought is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, in which case the payment of attorneys’ fees shall be governed by the Rules;
(f) YOU AND 4PAY AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF, CLASS MEMBER, OR REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR OTHER GROUP IN A CLASS ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE OR COLLECTIVE PROCEEDING. FURTHER, UNLESS YOU AND 4PAY AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS, OR COLLECTIVE PROCEEDING. IF THIS SPECIFIC PROVISION IS FOUND TO BE UNENFORCEABLE, THEN THE ENTIRETY OF THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT PROVIDED FOR IN THIS SECTION 14 SHALL BE NULL AND VOID. IF ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS SECTION 14 IS FOUND TO BE UNENFORCEABLE, IT SHALL BE SEVERED AND THE REMAINING ARBITRATION PROVISIONS SHALL BE ENFORCED (BUT IN NO CASE SHALL THERE BE A CLASS ARBITRATION OR SIMILAR PROCEEDING);
