VEEM TERMS OF USE FOR BLIND PAY USERS
Blind Pay, Inc. ("Blind Pay") has partnered with Veem to expand the services available to users. To enable this functionality you must accept these Terms of Use. These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the payment, Wallet, and related services (the "Services") provided by Veem Inc. and Veem Payments Inc. (collectively, "Veem," "we," "our," or "us"). Veem Inc. and Veem Payments Inc. are headquartered at 1160 Battery Street, Suite 100, San Francisco, CA 94111. Veem Payments Inc. is a licensed money transmitter in applicable U.S. jurisdictions.
By accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms, as well as Veem's Privacy Policy and any additional policies referenced herein, including the Acceptable Use Policy.
IMPORTANT: THESE TERMS CONTAIN AN ARBITRATION PROVISION. ALL DISPUTES WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION AND YOU WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. SEE SECTION 8.4.
1.1 Payment Services. Veem acts as an "agent of payee," providing accounts receivable services to collect and transfer funds on behalf of receivers, and accounts payable services on behalf of senders. Veem Payments Inc. is a licensed money transmitter in applicable U.S. states. Except for our limited role in processing payments you authorize or initiate, Veem is not involved in the underlying transaction. Veem is not a bank and does not provide traditional banking services.
1.2 Wallet Services. The Veem Wallet permits you to hold a balance of funds that may be used to send payments, transferred to your linked bank account or debit card, or used for other authorized transactions.
- Custody: Wallet funds are held in custodial accounts owned by Veem for the benefit of users, and may be commingled. You are the beneficial owner of your Wallet funds.
- FDIC Eligibility: Veem is not an FDIC-insured depository institution. Wallet funds are held with Citibank, N.A., and may be eligible for FDIC pass-through insurance subject to applicable rules and limits.
- No Interest: You will not receive interest on Wallet balances.
1.3 Virtual Bank Account (VBA) Services. Veem may issue you a U.S. bank account number ("Virtual Bank Account" or "VBA") that enables you to receive deposits and to use the balance for payments made through Veem.
- Purpose: VBAs allow you to receive payments from third parties and to use the deposited funds as a source of payment for transactions initiated through Veem. You may not use a VBA as a general checking account; all withdrawals, transfers, or bill payments must be executed through Veem's Services.
- Custody: Funds received into a VBA are credited to your Wallet under Section 1.2 and treated as wallet funds.
- Administration: Depending on the jurisdiction or banking partner, a VBA may be administered either (i) as a sub-account of Veem's custodial accounts or (ii) as a separately administered account in your name with a partner bank. In either case, your rights and obligations under these Terms are the same, and all funds received into a VBA are functionally treated as Wallet funds.
- Use Restrictions: VBAs may only be used for lawful business purposes. You may not use a VBA for transactions with unknown or untrusted counterparties.
- Monitoring: All deposits are subject to compliance review. Veem may reject, delay, or reverse deposits that fail AML, sanctions, or fraud checks.
- Currency Conversion: Deposits may be held in USD or converted into other supported currencies in your Wallet per your instructions, subject to FX fees.
- Termination: Veem may revoke or reassign VBAs at any time. Upon account closure, your VBA will be deactivated immediately.
- Eligibility: You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) and a legal resident of a country where Veem operates. Businesses must be duly organized and authorized to conduct business.
- Registration: You must provide accurate and verifiable information, including identity and business details. Federal law requires verification of certain information before your account is fully active.
- Identity Authentication: You authorize Veem, directly or through third parties, to verify your identity and business information. This may include requesting documentation, credit reports, or database checks.
- Continuing Validation: Veem may request updated information at any time, including details on beneficial owners, principals, or business activities. Failure to comply may result in suspension or termination.
- Business Representatives: If you register on behalf of a business, you represent that you have authority to bind the business. Veem may request documentation of such authority.
- Account Responsibility: You are responsible for all activity under your account, including by representatives or authorized users.
- Security: You must safeguard your login credentials. Notify us immediately of unauthorized access.
- Funding: You may fund transactions through bank transfers, debit/credit cards, wallet balance, or VBA deposits.
- ACH Authorization: You authorize Veem to initiate electronic debits and credits to and from your designated bank account(s) via the Automated Clearing House ("ACH") network in accordance with your instructions. This includes resubmission of ACH debits returned for insufficient or uncollected funds, and debits necessary to recover fees, reversals, or other amounts you owe. You agree to maintain sufficient funds to satisfy your obligations and to reimburse Veem for costs incurred as a result of returned debits. Your authorization remains in effect while you maintain a Veem account. You agree to be bound by the rules of the National Automated Clearing House Association (NACHA).
- Sending & Receiving: You may use the Services to pay for or receive payments related to goods and services, as well as for documented intercompany transfers between affiliated entities. All transfers must be properly documented, lawful, and compliant with these Terms, the Acceptable Use Policy, and applicable law.
- Payment Reviews: Veem may place a hold, delay, or cancel a payment pending review for fraud, money laundering, sanctions, or other compliance reasons.
- Refused & Refunded Transactions: A receiver is not required to accept a payment. Unclaimed or refused payments will be returned within a reasonable time.
- Errors & Unauthorized Transactions: You must review your account activity and notify Veem of errors or unauthorized transactions promptly. Veem will investigate and correct processing errors but is not responsible for unauthorized use of your credentials prior to your notice.
- Funds in Settlement Process: Veem may hold funds in settlement in custodial accounts for the benefit of users. These funds are not corporate assets and are not available to Veem's creditors.
- Refunds & Reversals: Payments may be reversed for insufficient funds, fraud, disputes, or errors. Refunds will be returned to the original source or Wallet.
- Instant Deposit: If available, settlement speed depends on your bank. Fees apply.
- Credit and Debit Card Payments: You may fund transactions using an eligible credit or debit card. Veem may charge a fee for card-funded payments, which will be disclosed at the time of transaction. By adding a card to your account, you represent that you are authorized to use it and authorize Veem to initiate charges in accordance with your instructions, including adjustments for errors. Veem may place temporary authorization holds to confirm card validity. By submitting a card-funded payment, you confirm that the underlying goods or services have been received to your satisfaction and waive any future disputes with Veem relating to the quality or timeliness of those goods or services. Card-funded payments are subject to limitations imposed by card networks and issuers. Certain industries or recipient categories may not be permitted. Your issuer may treat a payment as a cash advance, which could result in additional fees, changes to interest rates, or reduced rewards. You remain responsible for any reversals, chargebacks, or costs associated with your use of a card as a funding source. Veem is not responsible for the classification of transactions by your issuer, or for any related fees or impacts on your card program.
All fees, including transaction fees, wallet withdrawal fees, VBA deposit/FX fees, and other applicable charges, will be disclosed at the time of transaction or published on Blind Pay's pricing page. Fees improperly charged as a result of Veem's error shall be fully refundable.
