- Payment Methods
- PayEm Cards
- PayEm Cards will be issued by the Issuing Bank. The Card Program Agreement together with the Agreement govern the use of the PayEm Cards. The use of the PayEm Cards is also subject to authorization from the Administrators. Issuing Banks may update the Card Program Agreement by
- PayEm Cards
providing you with prior notice through the Platform. Continued use of the PayEm Cards constitutes acceptance of the updated Card Program Agreement.
- The use of the PayEm Cards is subject to the PayEm Card limit amount set forth in the Order Form, if applicable. If Customer pre-funded the Account, the use of the PayEm Cards is subject to the then outstanding amount held by PayEm for Customer on account of pre-paid Charges.
- PayEm Cards may be denied or canceled due to changes in the Issuing Bank(s) policies, as required by law, or for other reasons we determine at our reasonable discretion.
- Customer will promptly notify PayEm when a PayEm card is lost, stolen, breached, or needs to be replaced, and take appropriate measures to prevent unauthorized transactions. Replacement cards may have a new account number that will require you to update your PayEm Card on file for any scheduled or recurring payments. You are solely responsible for updating your PayEm Cards.
- PayEm Cards may only be used for bona fide business-related Charges and may not be used for personal, family, or household purposes. The responsibility of selecting the Administrators and Authorized Users is solely the Customer’s responsibility. PayEm Cards may not be issued to or used by any person or entity that is not an Authorized User. PayEm and/or any of the Third Party Providers may deny Charges for a reasonable reason. PayEm will make commercially reasonable efforts to notify Customer of such a denial. Customer understands and agrees that PayEm will not be responsible for any loss, damage, or harm caused by such denial.
- Charge disputes between Customer and a given merchant regarding a Charge on the Periodic Statement should first be attempted to be resolved between the two parties. If the dispute is not satisfactorily resolved, Customer may initiate a Chargeback through the Account. Chargebacks will be administered in accordance with the PayEm Card Transaction Dispute Policy, and if resolved in your favor, will be credited to the Account.
- If you make a purchase using your PayEm Card in a currency other than in U.S. dollars, the amount due for such purchase under your Periodic Statement will be converted into U.S. dollars in accordance with PayEm’s applicable exchange rate, which may vary from the rate that was in effect on the date you performed the transaction. When you pay in a non-U.S. dollar currency, the amount stated in the Periodic Statement will include any currency conversion fees and Cross Border Fees.
- With respect to any non-PIN transactions, any cashback offered by PayEm is provided solely with respect to eligible PayEm Card transactions for which PayEm actually receives interchange revenue. Transactions that do not generate interchange revenue shall not be eligible for cashback. PayEm may, in its reasonable discretion, withhold, reduce or cancel cashback amounts in cases of suspected misuse, abuse, artificial transaction patterns, or violation of the Agreement. In addition, PayEm may claw back any cashback amounts previously credited to the Account for up to 6 months prior to the date PayEm identifies such misuse or ineligibility.
- Check Payments. Check Payments are only available in the U.S. and are provided by Checkbook.io. To enable Check Payment, Customer hereby accepts Checkbook.io Terms and Conditions: https://www.checkbook.io/company/terms-business/.
- ACH/Wire Transfers. Vendor payments or employee reimbursement payments via wire/ACH are provided by a third party. To enable payments via wire/ACH, Customer will need to accept the terms and policies: https://www.airwallex.com/us/terms/payem-connected-account.
- Masav (ב”מס). The Masav feature is applicable only for ILS payments to vendors based in Israel and allows you to export vendor bills in Masav format (“Masav File”). Payment to vendors is then done through Customer’s Masav online account or other Masav associated services and not through the Platform. By exporting a Masav File Customer acknowledges that:
- PayEm is not responsible for any payment issued in accordance with Customer’s usage of the Masav File. Any Masav File is made available “as is”, at your own risk;
- No warranty or representation of any kind is made by PayEm as to the accuracy or completeness of a Masav File; and
- It is responsible for reviewing the Masav File prior to uploading it to Customer’s Masav account
or using it for any other purpose.
- Payment
- All Subscription Fees will be due by Customer to PayEm subject to the payment terms set forth in the Order Form.
- The total amount stated in the Periodic Statements will be due by the Customer to PayEm, in accordance with the payment terms set forth in the Order Form. All Charges and other amounts owed under the Periodic Statement not paid when due, will be subject to a late charge of 1.5% per month compounded annually. Any failure by Customer to pay any amounts owed to PayEm under the Periodic Statement when required is a material breach of the Agreement and will result in the nullity of Customer’s cashback benefits, if any. In addition, Customer acknowledges that cashback is provided solely with respect to PayEm Card non-PIN transactions. PayEm may withhold, reduce, cancel or claw back any cashback amounts, including amounts previously credited to the Account, in cases of suspected misuse, abuse, artificial transaction patterns, violation of the Agreement, or failure to pay any amounts owed to PayEm when due.
- If authorized by the Administrator through the Account, Customer authorizes PayEm or any related Third Party Provider to debit funds from the Linked Accounts at depository institutions (including banks and credit unions) using the Automated Clearinghouse (ACH) network governed by the rules established by the National Automated Clearinghouse Association (NACHA). These debits are bound by NACHA rules for business-related ACH debits.
- To unlink the Linked Account, you must provide us with a 30-day advanced written notice and pay all amounts owed under the Account immediately, including Charges and other amounts that may be included in future Periodic Statements. Withdrawal of a debit authorization does not terminate the Agreement or your obligation to pay all amounts owed under the Agreement or the Card Program Agreement.
- All Subscription Fees and all fees listed in the Fee Schedule are exclusive of all taxes, VAT, levies, or duties imposed by any tax authorities.
- Content; Intellectual Property Rights; Artificial Intelligence; Confidentiality

- Any services, technology, processes, methods, software and/or enhancements to the Platform used or developed for purposes of delivering the services under this Agreement (collectively, the “Developments”), whether developed solely by PayEm or jointly by PayEm and Customer or any other party, including any Developments requested, suggested, or paid for by Customer, and including any feedback provided by Customer hereunder, shall be the sole property of PayEm and shall not be considered “works made for hire”. Customer will not acquire any ownership right, intellectual property right, claim or interest in the Platform or in any Developments, or any modifications or updates thereto.

- PayEm may offer features that use third-party artificial intelligence tools such as OpenAI (“AI Tool”) to generate automatically produced descriptive notes or similar text for transactions (“AI Output”), and, in order to provide this feature, PayEm will transmit relevant transactional data and receipt data to the AI Tool for processing. AI Output is generated by machine and may be inaccurate, incomplete, non-unique, or include content similar to that generated for other customers; AI Output does not constitute professional (including legal, financial, accounting, or tax) advice, and Customer is solely responsible for reviewing and validating AI Output before relying on it. The AI Tool and AI Output are provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis without warranties of any kind to the maximum extent permitted by law, and Customer’s use of the AI Tool may be subject to OpenAI’s (or the terms of any other applicable third-party AI tool), which will govern to the extent they conflict with this Agreement with respect to the AI Tool.
- Customer hereby grants to PayEm a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, revocable license, during the term of this Agreement, to use, reproduce, and prepare derivative works of all Customer IPR provided to PayEm by Customer in connection with the Agreement to: (i) permit PayEm to offer the Platform and its related services to Customer as set forth in the Agreement, and (ii) to analyze anonymized data obtained through the Platform in order to provide Customer with analytics and reports and for other purposes, such as to test, develop, improve and enhance its products and services. PayEm may also collect and use information related to Customer’s use of the Platform for customer and technical support, to monitor compliance with the terms of the Agreement or any applicable rules and regulations, and to recommend additional products or services.
- If Customer chooses to associate a Linked Account with the Account, Customer acknowledges and agrees that PayEm may have access to certain information regarding such Linked Account, including data regarding transactions executed in such Linked Account other than through the Platform (“Linked Account Data”, for the avoidance of doubt, Linked Account Data shall be considered Customer Content). PayEm may use Linked Account Data to determine the risk associated with the Customer and determine payment terms offered to Customer for the access to and use of the Platform, and otherwise in connection with providing the Platform.
- Any party receiving Confidential Information (as defined below) hereunder from the other party hereto, agrees: (i) not to disclose the disclosing party’s Confidential Information to any third parties other than to its directors, employees, advisors, or consultants (collectively, its “Representatives”) on a “need to know” basis for the performance of the Agreement and provided that such Representatives are bound by confidentiality obligations not less restrictive than those contained herein; (ii) not to use or reproduce any of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information for any purposes except to carry out its rights and responsibilities under the Agreement; (iii) to keep the disclosing party’s Confidential Information confidential using at least the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information, which will in any event not be less than a reasonable degree of care. The receiving party shall remain liable at all times for any acts or omissions of its Representatives with respect to the disclosing party’s Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the receiving party is required by legal process or applicable law, rule, or regulation to disclose any of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information, then prior to such disclosure, if legally allowed, receiving party will give prompt notice to the disclosing party so that it may seek a protective order or other appropriate relief. The confidentiality obligations will expire 5 years from the date of termination or expiration of the Agreement (and with respect to trade secrets – in perpetuity) and will supersede any previous confidentiality undertakings between the parties.
- For the purposes hereof, “Confidential Information” means any proprietary or trade secret information disclosed by one party to the other, which can be reasonably understood under the circumstances to be confidential, but excluding any information that: (i) is now or subsequently becomes generally available in the public domain through no fault or breach on the part of receiving party; (ii) the receiving party can demonstrate in its records to have had rightfully in its possession prior to disclosure of the Confidential Information by the disclosing party; (iii) the receiving party rightfully obtains from a third party who has the right to transfer or disclose it, without default or breach of the Agreement; (iv) the receiving party can demonstrate in its records to have independently developed, without breach of the Agreement and/or any use of or reference to the Confidential Information.

- General
- The Agreement, including any addendums, schedules and exhibits attached, constitutes the entire agreement between PayEm and Customer and supersedes any previous agreements or representations, either oral or written, with respect to the subject matter of the Agreement.

Any continued use of the Account or any PayEm Cards, after any change to these ToS becomes effective, constitutes acceptance of the amended ToS.
- If any part of the Agreement is deemed unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed to be severable from the rest of the Agreement and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any of the remaining provisions of the Agreement. In such cases, the part deemed invalid or unenforceable will be construed in a manner consistent with applicable law to reflect, as closely as possible, the original intent of the parties.
- Nothing in the Agreement will be construed as creating any agency, partnership, trust arrangement, fiduciary relationship, or any other form of joint enterprise between you and PayEm.
- Customer may not assign rights or delegate obligations under the Agreement without PayEm’s prior written consent.
