This User Agreement (the "Agreement") is a legal agreement between you and YO UGANDA LIMITED (“Yo!”) and its Affiliates (collectively referred to as “Yo!”, “us”, “we”, “our” or “Yo! Payments”) and applies to your use of our payment processing service and any related products and services (collectively the "Service"). Our Service enables you to transmit to and receive payment from anyone with a Yo! Payments Account using Internet or mobile based services (such as “mobile money”) and applications (an "Application"). The Agreement applies whether you access the Service through an Application of a third party (such as a website) or one owned or controlled by us or any entity controlled by, in control of, or under common control with us (an "Affiliate"), including without limitation our website located at http://payments.yo.co.ug/ (the “Site”)

This Agreement applies to your use of the Service whether you send or receive payments or you initiate payments on behalf of other users through an Application. It explains our and your respective legal rights and obligations concerning all aspects of our relationship, including without limitation our maintenance of account balances, transaction limits and other account restrictions, your consent to receive electronic notices, and for the resolution of disputes.

We will post the amended Agreement or Policy to our Site and send a notice of Material Changes to the electronic address under your profile (e.g., e-mail or SMS message sent using your mobile device). Any such change in terms will be effective upon posting to our Site or when otherwise communicated to you (whichever is earlier). Any "Material Change" to this Agreement will be effective thirty (30) days from the date of posting.

We reserve the right to refuse to provide or discontinue the Service to any person or entity at any time for any reason.

1.2 Creating Accounts. To create a new Payment Account, you must complete the registration process for new users by entering all of the required information. If you register using your existing YBS Account, the information in your YBS Account will be used to complete the registration information for your Payment Account. You may be required to provide additional information based on your account type or service that you want to use with your account. If you do not have an existing YBS Account at the time you register with the Service, a new YBS Account will be automatically and concurrently established in your name with the same e-mail address and password you provide to us. For purposes of this Agreement, a "YBS Account" is any customer account that you have established with Yo!, or any of our Affiliates.

1.3 Verification. We may require you to provide additional registration information to verify your identity as a condition of providing the Service to you or before we permit you to send, receive, or withdraw funds from your Payment Account. Such information may include your social security number or employer identification number (EIN), a valid mobile money account with a participating mobile money provider, a verified bank account, or other financial, business or personal information. We may make, directly or through third parties, any inquiries we consider necessary to validate information that you provide to us, including without limitation checking commercial databases. You authorize us to obtain one or more of your consumer credit reports, from time to time, to establish, update, or renew your Payment Account with us or in the event of a dispute relating to this Agreement and activity under your Payment Account. While we may take steps to verify the identity of our users, we cannot and do not guarantee any user's identity. You are solely responsible for taking appropriate steps to verify the identity of other users of the Service with whom you transact business.

Section 2: YOUR PAYMENT ACCOUNT

2.1 Account Types. Two types of Payments Accounts are available through the Service: Personal Accounts and Business Accounts.

2.1.1 Personal Accounts. Personal Accounts are eligible to (a) hold balances, (b) make or send payments to mobile money account holders; and (c) receive payments from other users. Personal Accounts may not receive inbound mobile money payments, and may not access the Yo! Payments Application Programming Interface (API). You may use other features of the Service by completing your registration on the Site. Some features may be limited based on where you are located and what we know about you. Personal Accounts are intended for use by individuals.

2.1.2 Business Accounts. Business Accounts are only for commercial and business use. A Business Account has the same features of a Personal Account but also is eligible to receive inbound mobile money payments, and access the Yo! Payments API.

2.2 Managing Your Account. Personal and Business Accounts may be accessed through the Site.

2.3 Account Balances. You may hold monetary balances that you load or receive from other users in your Payment Account (your "Balance"). You are not required to maintain a Balance to use our Service. When you carry a Balance, your funds will be co-mingled and held with other participants' funds in one or more pooled mobile money accounts at one or more mobile money providers by us on your behalf and for the benefit of you and other users holding balances (each a "Pooled Account"). Balances held in the Pooled Account may be eligible for insurance depending on the terms of the mobile money provider where the Pooled Account is located. We have sole discretion over the establishment and maintenance of any Pooled Account. We will hold the funds associated with your Payment Account separate from our corporate funds, will not use your funds for our corporate purposes (including without limitation the granting of any security or similar interest), will not voluntarily make funds available to our creditors in the event of bankruptcy or for any other purpose, and will not knowingly permit our creditors to attach the funds. You will not receive interest or any other earnings on any funds that we handle for you. As consideration for using the Service, you irrevocably assign to us all rights and legal interests to any interest and/or other earnings that may accrue or are attributable to our holding of your Balance in a Pooled Account or Reserve (described below)

2.4 Reserve. We may require that you either maintain a minimum balance in your Payment Account or establish a separate reserve account (a "Reserve") to secure the performance of your payment obligations under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, we may require a Reserve if you have a high rate of Chargebacks (described in Section 7), refunds, or other indicia of performance problems related to your use of the Service. The Reserve will be in an amount as reasonably determined by Yo! to cover anticipated Chargebacks or credit risk based on your processing history or such amount designated by our Processor. For the first six months with new Business Accounts, the Reserve will be equal to the combination of a trailing 14 days of sales activity and any pending transaction disputes (i.e., Chargeback, refund request or claims). The Reserve may be raised or removed for new accounts if they have established a reliable payments history (including without limitation six months of service with over 100 transactions), pass a credit review, or are approved as an exception. If you do not have sufficient funds in your Balance, we may fund the Reserve from funds deposited by you upon our request or funds due to you under this Agreement. You grant us a security interest in and lien on any and all funds held in any Reserve, and also authorize us to make any withdrawals or debits from the Reserve, without prior notice to you, to collect amounts that you owe us or other users under this Agreement, including without limitation for any reversals of deposits or transfers made to your Payment Account. You will execute any additional documentation required for us to perfect our security interest in any funds in the Reserve. This security interest survives for as long as we hold funds in your Reserve.

2.5 Account History. When a deposit, payment, or withdrawal is authorized to or from your Payment Account, we will update your account activity on the Site and provide you a transaction confirmation. The confirmation will serve as your receipt. You may receive a separate receipt from a seller if the transaction involves the sale of goods or services. For standing payment authorizations used with Personal or Business Accounts (described in Section 4.3), you will receive an e-mail confirmation when a transaction authorized by this payments type is completed. For transactions below $1.00 or its equivalent in the applicable currency, you may receive a daily receipt for all such transactions initiated that day. You should print or otherwise store a copy of these for your records. For Personal and Business Accounts, summaries of your account activity, including monthly statements, are available in the "View Statement" area of our Site. Except as required by law, you are solely responsible for (a) compiling and retaining permanent records of all transactions and other data associated with your Payment Account and your use of the Service, and (b) reconciling all payment activity to and from your Payment Account and all other transactional information that is associated with your Payment Account. Upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason, we will have no obligation to you to store, retain, report, or otherwise provide any copies of, or access to, any records, documentation or other information in connection with any transactions submitted by you through the Service.

2.6 Unauthorized Account Activity. If you believe that there is an error or unauthorized transaction or activity associated with your Payment Account, you should contact us immediately. Our liability and your rights for erroneous or unauthorized transactions or activity associated with your Balance in your Personal Account are governed by our Unauthorized Transactions Policy.

2.7 Dormant Accounts. If there is no activity in your Payment Account (including without limitation access or payment transactions) for at least three (3) years, consecutively, and you are currently holding a Balance, we will notify you by sending an e-mail to your registered e-mail address and give you the option of keeping your Payment Account open and maintaining the Balance, or withdrawing the Balance. If you do not respond to our notice within thirty (30) days, we will automatically close your Payment Account and your Balance shall be transferred to a mobile money account you provide upon your request.

Section 3: YOUR PAYMENT TRANSACTIONS

3.1 Our Role. You may make payments to and accept payments from account holders using our Service. Payments may be made using Applications that we provide, such as our mobile services. Except for our limited role in processing payments that you authorize or initiate, we are not involved in any underlying transaction between you, any other user, or any Provider. We are not a bank and do not offer banking services. We do not guaranty payment on behalf of any user.

3.2 Your Authorization. You authorize us to hold, receive, and disburse funds on your behalf in accordance with your payment instructions (subject to the terms of this Agreement and our Policies), whether provided to us directly or through a Provider's Application. Your authorization permits us to debit or credit any mobile money account or your Balance. We may use the services of one or more third party, processors and/or financial institutions or mobile money providers to provide the Service and process your transactions (each a "Processor"). Your authorizations will remain in full force and effect while you maintain your Payment Account with us.

3.3 Account Limits. Personal and Business Accounts are limited to certain sending, receiving, and withdrawing limits, which shall be availed to you upon your request to us. If you exceed the "per month" limits, you must wait for the next calendar month for the limits to reset. Your account limits and ability to send, receive, or withdraw funds may be affected by several factors, including without limitation our assessment of the risk associated with your Payment Account, where you live, the personal information you provide, our ability to verify your account information, and requirements of applicable law. Account limits may be raised once you have completed additional identity or credit verification processes with us, including without limitation registering and verifying your Bank Account or mobile money account. Notwithstanding any account limits, we may delay, suspend or reject a transaction for any Payment Account if we suspect the transaction is unauthorized, fraudulent, suspicious or otherwise unusual based on prior transaction activity and application of our internal fraud controls.

3.4 Acceptable Use. You will at all times adhere to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations applicable to your use of the Service, including without limitation our Acceptable Use Policy.

If an intended recipient does not have a Personal or Business Account, he or she will be notified that a payment request has been initiated and prompted to create an account by visiting our Site. When you send a payment, you remain the owner of those funds until that payment is accepted by the recipient. We hold those funds on your behalf, but you will not be able to disburse or send those funds to any other user unless the initial transaction is cancelled or rejected. If a payment is denied or unclaimed by the recipient, the funds will be returned to the sender (less applicable fees). We are not liable to any person for any damages associated with any unaccepted payment. Any time you send funds you are doing so at your own risk.

"Transaction Information" means the following information that we collect or process through the Service related to a sales transaction between you and another user of the Service: Product Information, transaction amount, and the identity of the purchaser. Notwithstanding the terms of any agreement to the contrary between you or us (including any of our Affiliates), we and our Affiliates may use, disclose and transfer information that we collect or process as part of the Service, during and after the term of this Agreement: (a) to provide the Service; and (b) as required by applicable law; (c) to or at the request of the person to whom the information pertains, persons authorized by them or the person from whom such information is obtained; (d) in connection with an assignment of this Agreement; and (e) to operate, improve or modify the Service, any Yo! Network Sites, and associated features and services (including without limitation, personalization, fraud and risk management, authentication and protection against abusive or unlawful uses).

11.2 Limits on Your Use of Information. In connection with the Service, you agree not to ask for or require any user to provide any credit card, debit card, bank account, or other information related to a payment method. To facilitate the transactions between our users, you may have access to certain personal information, including names of customers or recipients, e-mail addresses, mobile phone numbers, shipping addresses and other personally identifiable information of users (collectively, "Personal Information"). You will not, and will cause your affiliates not to, directly or indirectly: (a) use any Personal Information in any way inconsistent with your privacy policy or applicable law; (b) contact a person that has ordered your goods or services that has not yet been delivered with the intent to collect any amounts in connection therewith or to influence such person to make an alternative purchase; (c) disparage us, our Affiliates, or any of their or our respective products or services; or (d) target communications of any kind on the basis of the intended recipient being a user of our Service or customer of ours or our Affiliates. Subject to the foregoing, you may disclose and use Personal Information as necessary to complete the transaction and related customer service and for marketing purposes, provided that you post and maintain a privacy policy outlining your handling and use of Personal Information, and you provide customers the opportunity to opt-out of receiving any marketing communications (whether by you or any third party). You may disclose Personal Information to a third party if you will ensure that every recipient uses the information only for the purposes for which it was disclosed and complies with the restrictions applicable to you related to that information (including under this Agreement and your privacy policy). Further, the terms of this Section 11.2 do not prevent you from using information that you collect independent from the Service or information that you acquire without reference to Personal Information for any purpose, even if such information is identical to Personal Information; provided that, you may not target communications on the basis of the intended recipient being a user of our Service or customer of ours or our Affiliates.

You agree that we may provide all communications and transactions related to the Service and your Payment Account, including without limitation agreements related to the Service, amendments or changes to such agreements, disclosures, notices, transaction information, statements, policies (including without limitation notices about our Privacy Notice), responses to claims, and other customer communications that we may be required to provide to you by law in electronic format (collectively, "Communications"). All Communications by us will be sent either (a) via e-mail or SMS messaging associated with your mobile phone, (b) by providing access to a Website that we designate in an e-mail or SMS notice to you, or (c) posting to our Site. All Communications will be deemed to be in "writing" and received by you when sent to you. You are responsible for creating and maintaining your own records of such Communications. You must send notices to us at the designated e-mail address(es) on the Site or through the submission forms on the Site. We reserve the right to discontinue or modify how we provide Communications. We will give you prior notice of any change. Your continued Consent is required to use your Payment Account. To withdraw your Consent, you will need to close your Payment Account.

16.1.1 Requirements. To access, view, and retain Communications, you must have a computer with a JavaScript enabled Internet browser that supports 128-bit encryption (such as Microsoft Internet Explorer v5 or later) and access to a personal, active e-mail account. For our mobile payments, you also need to have a mobile phone and service capable of receiving SMS messages. You are responsible for any costs or fees associated with these requirements, including without limitation charges for telecommunications services. We will give you prior notice if we make a change to the requirements for receiving Communications.

16.1.2 Updating Your Information. As with all information that you provide to us for your Payment Account, it is your responsibility to ensure that your phone number and e-mail address is accurate and remains current. To ensure that we are able to provide you with important Communications, you must update us with any change in your e-mail address. The scope of this Consent applies to the SMS and e-mail address that we currently have on file for you.

16.1.3 Requesting Paper Copies. Communications will not be distributed in paper unless you contact us and request a paper version of a particular document. We reserve the right to charge you a handling fee for any notices that we physically mail to you at your request or because your SMS or e-mail addresses fail.

Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will be binding on each party's successors and permitted assigns. Any assignment or transfer in violation of this section will be deemed null and void.

16.4 No Waiver. We will not be considered to have waived any of our rights or remedies, or portion of them, unless the waiver is in writing and signed by us. Our failure to enforce the strict performance of any provision of this Agreement (including any Policy) will not constitute a waiver of our right to subsequently enforce such provision or any other provisions of this Agreement (including any Policy).

If such construction is not possible, the provision will be severed from this Agreement and the rest of the Agreement remains in full force and effect.

16.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including without limitation the Policies and the general terms and conditions of the Site, constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersede and cancel all prior and contemporaneous agreements, claims, representations, and understandings of the parties in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement.
