Selling on Zurno User Agreement.
This Agreement incorporates and you hereby accept and agree to the applicable policies, notices, procedures, specifications, FAQs, guides, and guidelines that are provided or made available to you, appear on the sites at payments.zurno.co.uk and payments.zurno.de (collectively, the “Sites,” and each a “Site,” as applicable) and the online portal and tools made available by ZSE to you, for your use in managing your orders and inventory on any of the websites on which the Selling on Zurno Service is made available to you and through which you can offer and sell your products (“Seller Central”) or are referenced in this Agreement and which we may modify from time to time (collectively, the “Policies”). In the event of any conflict between one or more of the Policies and the terms in this Agreement set forth below, the terms in this Agreement will prevail unless the Policy expressly states that it supersedes any term of this Agreement.
1. Your Selling On Zurno Payment Account 1.1 Eligibility.
To use the Service, (a) you must register for a “Selling On Zurno Payment Account” as described in more detail below (an “Account”) by providing complete and accurate registration information, and (b) if you are an individual, be at least 18 years old, and, if you are registering as a legal entity, your business, trade, or profession must be established and authorized to operate in one of the designated countries that we support, as disclosed on our Sites or Seller Central when you register for an Account. You must meet our eligibility requirements in order to register for and maintain an Account.
We treat all activities under an Account as those of the registered user. You may not use the Service or your Account on behalf of any other person or entity. You must update registration information promptly upon any change so that it is at all times complete and accurate, and updates to your registration information may be carried across to other accounts that you have with us.
We reserve the right to refuse to provide or discontinue the Service to any person or entity or close the Account of any person or entity, in each case at any time for any reason.
1.2 Accounts
You can access your Account through Seller Central. This Account is exclusively for selling products and/or services via the Selling on Zurno Service, as well as for holding and transferring funds to a bank account. If you are registering as a business, your Account must strictly be used for business, trade, or professional purposes and not for personal, household, or consumer-related transactions.
As part of your Account setup and continued use, we may require you to submit specific details, including but not limited to, your contact and billing information (such as name, address, phone number, fax, and email), a Value Added Tax (“VAT”) number, customer service contacts, business profile data (e.g., description and classification), projected transaction volumes, and any additional information that is either legally required or necessary for us or our financial partners to provide the Service. If you operate as a business, you acknowledge that the Payment Services Directive 2015/2366/EC provisions 62(1), 64(3), 76, and 77 will not apply to your use of the Service.
Your Account is directly connected to your Zurno Account. You can create a new Account in one of two ways: (a) by registering with your existing Zurno Account or (b) by completing a new user registration, providing all required details. If you choose to register with an existing Zurno Account, the information from that account will be automatically shared with Zurno Payments for registration purposes. Depending on your account type and the specific services you plan to use, we may request further details from you.
If you do not already have a Zurno Account when registering for this Service, a new one will be created simultaneously using the same email and password you provide. A “Zurno Account” refers to a customer account that allows access to or purchase of products or services on certain websites owned, operated, or controlled by Zurno.com, Inc., or its affiliated entities. These affiliated entities (“Affiliates”) include those that are under common ownership or control with Zurno.com, Inc., as well as those operating platforms on its behalf, such as the website www.zurno.com.
While we facilitate payment processing, we are not directly involved in transactions between buyers and sellers. By using our Service, you authorize us to manage, hold, and disburse funds based on your instructions, subject to this Agreement’s terms. Our role is strictly limited to payment processing, meaning we do not act as a buyer, seller, or contractual party in any sales transactions. We do not intervene in disputes between buyers and sellers, nor do we ensure or enforce the fulfillment of sales agreements. As the seller, you bear full responsibility for all sales conducted through the Service.
On a buyer’s payment card statement, our name (or that of one of our Affiliates) may appear as the transaction identifier. At our discretion, we may also display your business name alongside ours. A buyer’s financial obligation for an item purchased via the Selling on Zurno Service is deemed fulfilled once they complete payment through our Service. However, we do not act as a trustee or fiduciary on behalf of either party and do not accept deposits. We work with various third parties, including financial institutions, processors, and affiliated entities (collectively, “Processors”), to execute transactions and provide the Service. Some of these functions, including compliance with anti-money laundering laws, IT services, and internal audits, may be outsourced to Processors or their subcontractors. These entities may operate in various jurisdictions, including but not limited to, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, India, Costa Rica, China, Japan, the Philippines, and the United States. You acknowledge and consent to these Processors and their subcontractors having access to personal and business-related information necessary for the provision of our Service, which may include bank account details and beneficial ownership data.
For processing transactions, we or our Processors may initiate debits or credits from your Account balance, registered payment card, or linked bank account (“Bank Account”). However, as outlined in Section 3.1, we do not guarantee payments made by or on behalf of any buyer.
1.3 Verification
To use the Service, we may require you to submit additional information to confirm your identity and/or that of your business before granting you access to receive or transfer funds from your Account. This verification process is a necessary condition for using our Service. To validate the information you provide, we reserve the right to conduct inquiries—either directly or through third-party services—that may include, but are not limited to, reviewing commercial databases and credit reports. By using our Service, you expressly authorize us to obtain one or more of your credit reports at any time, whether to establish, update, or renew your Account or in connection with a dispute related to this Agreement and your Account activity.
Although we may implement measures to verify the identities of users, we do not guarantee the authenticity of any individual or business using the Service. Furthermore, we do not assume responsibility for verifying the identity of other users who engage with you through the Service.
1.4 Your Credentials
To access and use the Service, the Sites, and Seller Central, you will need to log in using your email address and a password of your choosing. These Credentials will also serve as the primary means for us to communicate with you, as outlined in Section 11.1. Additionally, you may be required to answer security questions or receive security keys or other access credentials to facilitate your use of the Service and authorize transactions. Collectively, these constitute your “Credentials.”
You bear full responsibility for safeguarding the secrecy and security of your Credentials. Sharing your Credentials with third parties is strictly discouraged, except when necessary for authorized third parties who are permitted to use your Account. Your Credentials will serve as the mechanism through which you initiate and approve transactions. Once you have given consent to a payment authorization or order, it becomes final, and you may not revoke or withdraw your consent. Payment authorizations or orders are considered received once you confirm the order within your Account or through Seller Central. However, if your payment authorization is submitted on a non-Business Day or outside the designated processing hours —before 8:00 AM CET or after 4:30 PM CET on a Business Day—it will be treated as received on the following Business Day. A “Business Day” refers to Monday through Friday, excluding public and bank holidays.
If you suspect that your Credentials have been compromised, you must immediately inform us via our Contact Us form so we can temporarily suspend your Account to prevent unauthorized activity. If you need to request the unblocking of your Account, you must also reach out through the Contact Us form. You will not be held financially liable for unauthorized use of your Account following your proper notification of compromised Credentials unless you have engaged in fraudulent activity.
1.5 Account Limits
Your ability to use the Service may be subject to various account limits, including, but not limited to, restrictions on transaction volumes or fund withdrawals. These limits are established based on multiple factors, such as our evaluation of potential risks associated with your Account, your location or that of your buyers, the accuracy and completeness of the registration information you provide, our ability to verify that information, and legal or regulatory requirements.
Regardless of any predefined account limits, we reserve the right to delay, suspend, or decline any transaction from a buyer, or to temporarily or permanently restrict access to an Account if we detect unauthorized activity, fraudulent behavior, suspicious transactions, or any other activity that deviates from typical transaction patterns. Our decision may also be influenced by our internal fraud prevention protocols designed to protect both you and the integrity of the Service.
1.6 Acceptable Use
You are required to comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and rules governing your use of the Service at all times. This includes, but is not limited to, adherence to our Acceptable Use Policy, which is available in Seller Central.
Furthermore, you are strictly prohibited from using the Service to operate as a payment service provider, intermediary, aggregator, or service bureau. You may not resell, facilitate, or process transactions on behalf of third parties, including but not limited to handling, transmitting, or processing funds for any entity other than yourself.
We reserve the right to review and inspect your Account for any reason, including but not limited to investigating potential violations of this Agreement or addressing complaints raised by third parties.
2. Receiving Payments
2.1 Acceptance of Funds
Your Account is intended solely for accepting payments from buyers who purchase products or services through the Selling on Zurno Service. You may not use your Account to send payments to any other person unless explicitly permitted by the Service.
Funds received in your Account represent payments from buyers for completed sales made through the Selling on Zurno Service. We will credit your Account with an amount equivalent to the total gross proceeds actually received from buyers' banks or card issuers, after deducting applicable fees, set-offs, or any outstanding amounts owed to us or our Affiliates under this Agreement (“Net Sale Proceeds”). This transfer will take place no later than the business day on which the gross proceeds are credited to our bank account.
Your Account does not accrue interest or generate any earnings on the funds held. Additionally, funds within your Account do not qualify as a deposit, meaning they are not covered by any deposit protection or guarantee schemes.
2.2 Accepted Payment Methods
Your Account can receive payments funded through payment methods that we accept, including credit cards, debit cards, and other payment instruments (“Cards”) that display the logo of supported payment networks, card associations, or financial institutions (collectively, the “Associations”). Additionally, we may accept invoice payments and direct debit transactions.
We reserve the right to add or remove accepted Cards or payment methods at any time without prior notice. Only Cards that receive authorization from the respective Association or card issuer will be processed. However, obtaining authorization does not guarantee that the transaction will be successfully collected, that the cardholder is actually authorized to use the Card, or that the transaction will not later be subject to a Chargeback (as described in Section 3).
2.3 Order Processing
In accordance with this Agreement, we will facilitate the processing of payments and refunds for transactions you submit through the Service. The timing of when payments and refunds are processed will be determined in compliance with applicable laws. As the seller of record, you bear full responsibility for all sales conducted through the Selling on Zurno Service. We reserve the right to withhold or decline processing any transaction if we suspect it to be fraudulent, unlawful, or otherwise in violation of this Agreement. Transactions that you properly initiate and authorize will generally be processed within one business day. However, we may refuse to execute a transaction if it fails to meet the conditions outlined in this Agreement or if legal restrictions prevent its completion.
If we decline to process a transaction, we will inform you—unless legally prohibited—within the legally allotted timeframe for processing. If applicable, we will also provide the reasons for our
refusal and any corrective measures you may take to address factual issues that led to the rejection. Any transaction that we refuse to process will be considered not received for the purposes of determining execution times and any associated liability for non-execution or errors in execution.
In cases where a transaction is not executed or is executed incorrectly, we will, upon request, make immediate efforts to trace it. We will notify you of the outcome of our investigation at no cost to you.
2.5 Refunds and Returns
2.5.1 Your Obligations
You are responsible for handling returns, issuing refunds, and making adjustments for your products or services in compliance with applicable laws, this Agreement, and the prevailing policies of Zurno Services Europe (ZSE), and your own policies at the time of the sale. You must also ensure that any applicable taxes associated with the refunded transaction are properly calculated and returned.
All refund and adjustment transactions must be processed through our system by accessing Seller Central using your Account. When a refund is initiated, we or our designated Affiliate will credit the appropriate buyer’s account, and you will be responsible for reimbursing us for the refunded amounts.
We are not obligated to accept returns of your products or services and assume no responsibility for managing returns on your behalf.
2.5.2 Card Refunds
When processing refunds for transactions made via Card, you must:
(a) Maintain a fair and transparent policy regarding returns, cancellations, and adjustments for Card sales.
(b) Clearly disclose your return or cancellation policy to buyers at the time of purchase. (c) Not issue cash refunds to buyers for purchases made using a Card.
(d) Not accept cash or any other form of compensation in exchange for processing a refund to a buyer for a Card transaction.
The refund or adjustment amount must not exceed the total amount indicated in the original sales data, except when refunding the exact amount required to reimburse the buyer for postage costs incurred in returning the merchandise. If you process an exchange where the value of the new merchandise differs from the returned item, you must first issue a refund for the full amount of the returned item and then process a new transaction for the replacement item.
If your refund policy prohibits returns or does not meet the buyer’s expectations, you may still be subject to a Chargeback for the sale.
2.6 Reserve
We may require you to maintain a minimum balance in your Account or establish a separate reserve account (the "Reserve") to ensure your fulfillment of payment obligations under this Agreement. The Reserve amount will be determined by us based on our assessment of risk related to providing the Service to you, which may include anticipated Chargebacks, credit risk,
or other financial exposure. Additionally, the Reserve may be set based on the requirements of our Processor.
The Reserve amount is subject to adjustment at any time, meaning we may increase, decrease, or remove it as we deem necessary. You agree that we may fund the Reserve by drawing from your Account balance, requesting direct funding from you, or withholding funds due to you under this Agreement.
Furthermore, you authorize us to withdraw or debit amounts from the Reserve at any time, without prior notice, to recover any sums you owe to us, our Affiliates, or other customers.
2.7 Disbursements
Subject to the restrictions outlined in this Agreement, we will automatically transfer the balance from your Account to your designated Bank Account thirty (30) days after the first business day following the completion of the corresponding transactions. Transfers will be conducted exclusively via direct deposit to your Bank Account.
In addition to these automatic disbursements, you may request a manual transfer of your available Account balance (excluding any amounts held in Reserve or otherwise restricted) once every 24 hours. However, except in cases where the transfer is made as part of closing or terminating your Account or this Agreement, disbursements to your Bank Account are subject to a minimum transfer amount of 1 EUR.
Beyond any standard account limits, we may impose further restrictions on transactions involving your Account or limit access to funds in such amounts and for such periods as we reasonably determine necessary to protect ourselves and other users under the following circumstances:
(a) If we face financial risk, including but not limited to pending Chargebacks. (b) If we suspect that you have violated any provision of this Agreement.
(c) If we are unable to verify your identity.
(d) If there is an active dispute concerning your Account or any transactions associated with it. (e) If we need to protect the integrity and security of our systems.
We may hold your Account balance for the duration of any ongoing investigation or dispute resolution process. Additionally, we may retain your funds as required by law, court order, or at the request of law enforcement or other governmental authorities.
2.8 Account History
We or our Affiliates will provide summaries of your Account activity through Seller Central. However, except as required by law, you are solely responsible for:
(a) Maintaining and storing permanent records of all transactions and other data related to your Account and use of the Service.
(b) Reconciling all payment activity, including incoming and outgoing transactions, to ensure accuracy.
If this Agreement is terminated for any reason, we and our Affiliates are under no obligation to store, retain, or provide you with any records, documentation, or access to information related to the Site, Seller Central, your Account, the Service, or any transactions you processed through the Service.
2.9 Unauthorized Transactions

To qualify for a refund, you must inform us without undue delay upon discovering any unauthorized or incorrectly processed transactions. In any case, notification must be provided no later than 13 months from the date of the transaction, unless we failed to make transaction-related information available to you in accordance with Section 2.8.

(c) The transaction was not authorized, or we have reason to believe it was unauthorized. (d) The transaction is alleged to be unlawful, suspicious, or in violation of this Agreement. We assume the risk of Card fraud—meaning fraudulent purchases resulting from the theft and unauthorized use of a third party’s Card information—when payments are made to you by
buyers through the Selling on Zurno Service. However, you bear all other risks of fraud or financial loss, except in cases where:
• The product is fulfilled using the Fulfillment by Zurno service.

◦ Your Account balance, including any Reserve.
◦ Any proceeds due to you.
◦ Your Bank Account or any other registered payment method.
Additionally, if we anticipate that a Chargeback may occur for any transaction submitted or authorized by you, we may temporarily withhold payments due to you until one of the following occurs:

In cases where:
(i) We choose not to recover a Chargeback from you.
(ii) A buyer fails to pay us for an invoiced amount within the agreed payment term. (iii) There is any other failed payment or reversal (a "Payment Failure").

3.3 Excessive Chargebacks
If we determine that your Chargeback rate is excessive, we may impose additional controls or conditions on your Account, including but not limited to:
