KazePay does not guarantee the continued availability, continuity, duration, renewal, or uninterrupted operation of any Card program, issuer relationship, BIN sponsorship, Card product, payment feature, digital wallet integration, blockchain integration, Supported Asset, top-up method, settlement channel, or supported Service.
Any Card program, BIN, issuer arrangement, payment feature, blockchain network, Supported Asset, or Service may be modified, suspended, restricted, migrated, replaced, discontinued, or terminated at any time due to issuer decisions, card network rules, regulatory requirements, compliance obligations, banking restrictions, operational needs, technical limitations, commercial decisions, or risk-control reasons.

Transactions may still be declined due to merchant restrictions, issuer risk controls, insufficient balance, compliance monitoring, card network rules, or technical reasons.
13. Merchant Acceptance
KazePay does not guarantee that any Card will be accepted by all merchants, platforms, countries, terminals, websites, online stores, subscription platforms, digital wallets, payment gateways, or merchant categories.

A successful transaction with one merchant, country, platform, payment method, or transaction type does not guarantee that future transactions with the same or similar merchant, country, platform, payment method, or transaction type will be approved.
KazePay shall not be liable for any failed purchase, cancelled order, merchant penalty, travel disruption, lost opportunity, price change, loss of access, business interruption, or inconvenience arising from declined, blocked, delayed, reversed, or unsuccessful transactions.
14. Transaction Authorization
When you use your Card, you authorize the transaction amount, applicable fees, foreign exchange charges, network charges, merchant charges, issuer charges, and any other applicable costs to be deducted from your Available Balance or Account.
A transaction may be authorized immediately, partially authorized, declined, reversed, settled later, adjusted, or completed after a delay.
Some merchants may place authorization holds, pre-authorizations, deposits, or temporary holds for an amount greater than the final transaction amount.
This may occur with merchants including but not limited to:
- hotels;
- car rentals;
- fuel stations;
- transport operators;
- restaurants;
- online platforms;
- subscription services;
- travel merchants;
- e-commerce platforms.
A pre-authorization or hold may reduce your Available Balance until released by the merchant, acquirer, issuer, or card network.
KazePay does not control the timing of merchant hold releases.
15. Failed Transactions, Declines and Authorization Requests
Failed, declined, reversed, retried, incomplete, or unsuccessful transactions may still generate authorization requests, processor costs, issuer charges, network fees, risk-control triggers, or other applicable charges.
Transactions may fail or be declined for reasons including but not limited to:
- insufficient balance;
- wrong card details;
- wrong PIN;
- expired card;

- card program restriction.
You are responsible for ensuring sufficient balance before initiating transactions.
You are also responsible for avoiding repeated failed attempts, excessive retries, or abnormal transaction behavior.
KazePay may impose decline-related fees, authorization fees, risk-control charges, restrictions, card suspension, card closure, or Account limitations where excessive failed transactions, insufficient balance attempts, repeated subscription retries, suspected abuse, or high decline rates are detected.
16. Decline Rate and Risk-Control Charges
KazePay, the issuer, card network, processor, or relevant provider may monitor failed transactions and decline rates.
Where your transaction behavior results in excessive failed transactions, high declined amounts, repeated authorization failures, insufficient balance attempts, or abnormal retry patterns, KazePay may take action including but not limited to:
- issuing warnings;
- charging applicable decline fees;
- charging authorization fees;
- reducing limits;
- restricting certain merchants;
- suspending Card usage;
- freezing the Card;
- closing the Card;
- restricting the Account;
- requiring additional verification;
- terminating access to the Services.
Decline-related fees and risk-control charges may apply even if the transaction is not successfully completed.
You acknowledge that such fees may arise from issuer, processor, network, or program-level costs and are not necessarily dependent on whether the merchant successfully completes the sale.
17. Recurring Payments and Subscriptions
If you bind your Card to a merchant, subscription service, membership platform, app store, online marketplace, digital wallet, or recurring payment arrangement, you are responsible for managing, cancelling, updating, or removing that Card from the relevant merchant or platform.
Freezing, suspending, closing, replacing, or deleting a Card within KazePay may not automatically cancel recurring payments or merchant authorization attempts.
Merchants may continue to retry payment authorization after a Card is frozen, suspended, replaced, closed, expired, or has insufficient balance.
Such authorization attempts may result in failed transaction fees, authorization fees, decline fees, negative balance, risk-control action, or other applicable charges.
KazePay is not responsible for subscription fees, merchant retries, service renewals, penalties, or failed cancellation requests where you fail to cancel or remove the Card directly with the merchant.
18. Offline Transactions, Delayed Clearing and Negative Balances
Certain merchants may submit transactions after authorization, with delayed settlement, or without real-time balance confirmation. This may include but is not limited to:
- hotels;
- transport operators;
- toll operators;
- airlines;
- car rental companies;
- offline terminals;
- subscription merchants;
- merchants using delayed clearing;
- merchants submitting force-post transactions.
Such transactions may be settled after the Card has been frozen, suspended, closed, replaced, expired, or has insufficient balance.
You remain responsible for all valid transactions, fees, and negative balances arising from your Card use.
If your Account, Wallet, or Card balance becomes negative, KazePay may recover the negative amount by:
- deducting from your wallet balance;
- deducting from future top-ups;
- deducting from refunds;
- deducting from incoming transfers;
- deducting from any amount owed to you;
- restricting your Account;
- suspending or closing your Card;
- requiring immediate repayment.
KazePay may refuse further Services until the negative balance is fully settled.
19. Refunds and Merchant Reversals
Refunds are initiated by merchants and are subject to merchant policy, merchant acquirer processing, issuer processing, card network rules, and settlement timelines.
KazePay does not control whether a merchant approves a refund.
KazePay also does not guarantee the timing of any refund after it has been initiated by the merchant.
Refunds may take several business days or longer to appear in your Account or Card balance. In some cases, refunds may take approximately 7 to 30 business days or longer, depending on the merchant, acquirer, issuer, card network, processing partner, or compliance review.
If a refund is delayed, you may be required to provide supporting documents, including:
- merchant refund confirmation;
- receipt;
- transaction reference;
- email confirmation;
- cancellation proof;
- screenshots;
- merchant communication records;
- card statement or transaction record.
KazePay is not liable for merchant refusal, merchant delay, acquirer delay, issuer delay, incorrect merchant processing, or card network processing timelines.
20. Chargebacks and Transaction Disputes
If you have a dispute with a merchant, including non-delivery of goods or services, incorrect amount, duplicate charge, cancelled order, refund delay, unauthorized merchant charge, or dissatisfaction with goods or services, you should first attempt to resolve the issue directly with the merchant.
KazePay may assist in submitting a chargeback or transaction dispute where available under the relevant card program.
However, chargebacks are subject to:
- card network rules;
- issuer rules;
- merchant acquirer rules;
- evidence requirements;
- dispute timelines;
- merchant response;
- final determination by the relevant dispute authority.
KazePay does not guarantee that any chargeback, refund, reversal, or transaction dispute will be successful.
You may be required to provide supporting evidence including but not limited to:

- delivery proof;
- merchant communication;
- cancellation confirmation;
- refund confirmation;
- screenshots;
- proof of unauthorized transaction;
- police report where applicable;
- identity verification documents;
- any other documents requested by KazePay, the issuer, processor, or card network.
A chargeback processing fee of USD 35 per dispute shall be borne by the User.
This chargeback fee may apply for submitting, processing, reviewing, investigating, or handling the dispute, regardless of whether the dispute is successful, rejected, withdrawn, reversed, or unresolved, unless otherwise required by applicable law or expressly waived by KazePay.
KazePay may deduct the chargeback fee from your Account balance, Card balance, Wallet balance, future top-up, refund, incoming transfer, or any amount owed to you.
KazePay may refuse to submit or continue a dispute where:
- the claim is unsupported;
- documents are incomplete;
- the dispute is submitted after the applicable deadline;
- the transaction appears valid;
- the Card was used by you or with your authorization;
- the issue should be resolved directly with the merchant;
- the claim involves buyer’s remorse;
- the goods or services were delivered;
- the subscription was not cancelled by you;
- the dispute appears abusive, fraudulent, duplicated, misleading, or made in bad faith.
False, abusive, or fraudulent chargeback claims may result in Account suspension, Card closure, loss of access to Services, reporting to relevant parties, or other legal or compliance action.
21. Unauthorized Transactions
You must notify KazePay immediately if you believe a transaction was unauthorized.
KazePay may investigate unauthorized transaction claims, but approval of any refund, reversal, chargeback, or compensation is not guaranteed.
KazePay may reject unauthorized transaction claims where:
- you shared your Card, OTP, PIN, login credentials, device, or Account access;
- your device or email was compromised due to negligence;
- you failed to notify KazePay promptly;
- the transaction was authenticated;
- the transaction was performed using your credentials, device, digital wallet, or security verification;
- evidence suggests the transaction was authorized by you or someone you allowed to use your Account or Card;
- the claim is inconsistent, unsupported, false, or misleading.
You are responsible for losses arising from your failure to secure your Account, device, credentials, Card, PIN, OTP, or authentication method.
22. Digital Wallets

The availability of Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, or any other digital wallet feature for one Card does not imply that the same feature will be available for any other Card.
KazePay may add, remove, suspend, restrict, or modify digital wallet support at any time.
23. Top-Ups and Supported Assets
KazePay may allow users to top up their Account, Wallet, or Card using Supported Assets.
