B. Payment Service Functions:

Housipaya supports payment of rent or rental-related fees to any landlord or service provider (collectively referred to as "Payees") via credit card or debit card to their bank accounts. Instruction requirements:

(a) Must provide accurate and complete payment information;

(b) Submit Housipaya payment instructions ("Payment Instructions") for immediate or future payments. We will request relevant information to understand and process your transactions. Required information may vary for different payments.

(c) Users represent and warrant that all information provided for each payment instruction is correct, accurate, sufficient, and valid, and irrevocably authorize us to process and execute transactions for you immediately.

Users agree that the platform is fully responsible for:

  • Collecting and/or canceling any payment instructions you have set that are outdated or inaccurate;
  • Updating payment methods that have or will expire; and
  • Maintaining accurate payee account information and payment amounts at all times.

If payment instructions are incorrect, we will not be responsible for any liability.

(d) If users have submitted incorrect information to us, users should notify us as soon as possible. We will arrange refunds at our discretion and charge you relevant handling fees. If we are unable to arrange a refund, users agree that we need not provide any compensation.

(e) After receiving users' payment instructions, we have the right to request supplementary information to review the payment instructions. During the review period, we have the right to temporarily hold your payment instructions and request documents related to your identity, lease, or proof of your contractual relationship with the payee or other types of documents. Users understand that our ability to effectively review your payment instructions depends on your level of cooperation and confirm that we have the right to withhold any related funds until you pass the review.

(f) If we are unable to contact users or you do not meet information requirements within 7 days, we have the right to refund your payment instructions and charge you relevant service fees and handling fees.

(g) When we receive confirmation that your payment card has been debited, complete any review, and funds successfully reach the payee, your payment instruction is considered complete. Funds will reach the payee's account within 5 working days, but transfers may fail or be affected for various reasons, such as incorrect account numbers/bank names, incorrect/incomplete documents, or acquiring banks or banks requiring more time to process.

(h) We do not recommend users use other cardholders' credit cards to pay fees through your Housipaya account. If you use any third-party credit cards to pay fees through Housipaya, it means you have obtained legal and appropriate authorization from the cardholder and confirm and declare to Housipaya that the transactions you are/will conduct are consistent with the cardholder's authorization. You also authorize and agree that Housipaya may provide and disclose any information and records related to such transactions to the cardholder. You also agree that if the cardholder disputes or questions the legality of the above authorization, resulting in chargebacks or complaints and causing any financial losses, reputational damage, and all direct or indirect costs to Housipaya, you will fully compensate.
