These Terms of Service govern the terms under which you may access and use Vitesse’s payment related services (the 'Payment Services'). Each Payment Service is a proprietary service made available by Vitesse and branded in this case as PayEd.
Herein after ‘you/your’ refers to you the client and ‘us/we/Vitesse’ to Vitesse PSP Limited. . We are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (Reference 615642) under the Payment Services Regulation 2009 for the provision of payment services. Registered Office: 34 Anyards Road, Cobham, KT11 2LA. Registered in England. Registered Number: 08461258.
Below is a brief outline of the main sections of the Terms, with links to the relevant sections of the full Terms. Please read the full Terms carefully and ensure you understand them before using our website or a Payment Service.
You must only use the Payment Services in accordance with the Terms in Section A. You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you supply to us and the security of your Account or payment details. Both of us shall use reasonable endeavours to prevent unauthorised or illegal use. We will not be liable if any applicable laws prohibit the processing, settlement, or transfer of any payments.
Details of how to request the Payment Service, the process, how payments can be made, and the options for such Payment Service are available in Section B. Exchange rates may change, but will be confirmed before we accept a request. You may cancel your request for a Payment Service at any time until we accept the request. Typically, we cannot accept a request for a Payment Service unless we have received and verified the necessary identification and anti-money laundering documentation. We may need to reject a request for a Payment Service; if this happens, we are not required to provide an explanation for the rejection. We do not guarantee the availability of our Payment Service at all times.
All sums must be paid in full before the Payment Service can be completed. You confirm that all payments will be made from your own accounts or (where applicable) payment cards, unless you have obtained prior authorisation from us. You must comply with all applicable laws. You must not use the Payment Service for investment purposes. We place limitations on our liability to you in certain circumstances; please ensure you read and understand the limitations on our liability to you. For example, where possible, we limit our liability to direct losses up to the amount paid by you in relation to the Payment Service.
If applicable, you are responsible for any bank fees (except those caused by our breach), interest on delayed payments, taxes and other charges associated with the Payment Service. We reserve the right to charge you interest rate of 2% per annum above the Bank of England base rate if you fail to make any payment.
You are responsible for ensuring all information and instructions are correct and must notify us of any errors as soon as possible. If you receive a payment using our Payment Service and, for any reason, the payment is then cancelled by another party (such as a bank), you will need to promptly return the payment. Either of us can terminate a Payment Service immediately if a Default Event occurs, this includes breach of these terms or the payment being restricted in some way. You may be liable for any costs we incur if we have to terminate a Payment Service due to your fault.
This section also contains general legal provisions including the duration of these Terms, intellectual property, data protection and jurisdiction and the complaint process. This section also places requirements on you to keep your payment and account information secure and details your liability if you fail to do so.
These agreed provisions detailed in the relevant Schedule will override the other Terms.
1.1 By ticking and agreeing to these Terms you agree to be bound by them and agree that they will be incorporated into, and apply to, each Payment Service you request from us.
1.2 You will be given a unique client number which may be required when communicating with us.
1.3 You are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the information you provide to us as part of a request for any Payment Service.

1.7 We shall incur no liability in the event that applicable laws prohibit the processing, settlement, or transfer of any payments.
2.1 Individual users (consumers) or business users may use the Vitesse Payments Portal to make payments to business users. Business users may use the Vitesse Payments Portal to make payments or receive money. In each case, the consumer or business user making the payment is referred to as the “End User”. For the purposes of these Terms, micro-enterprises and charities shall be considered consumers.
2.2 If you have signed up as a “Vitesse customer” the provisions of this clause 2 will apply to any Vitesse Payment Services we provide.
2.3 We will make available our payment interface developed and owned by us for the purpose of facilitating online payments of fees associated with the provision of educational services, the payment interface is referred to as the “Vitesse Payments Portal”. You will only be entitled to use the Vitesse Payments Portal in accordance with these Terms and applicable laws.
2.4 Before an End User submits any payment via the Vitesse Payments Portal, we will advise the End User of the total amount they will need to transfer to us to effect the Vitesse payment (“Settlement Amount”). This Settlement Amount will include all charges to be deducted by the credit or debit card provider, relevant transaction fees and the costs of any currency conversion services.
2.5 The End User will be required to provide us with the correct unique identifier or other valid details of the recipient or the End User, as we or the business user being paid may reasonably request when the End User completes the details of the transaction. The End User accepts that we will only transfer any payment according to the unique identifier or other valid details requested, and will not seek to confirm that the unique identifier or other valid details corresponds to the name of the business user the End User intends to pay. The End User, will be responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the information submitted. If the End User accepts the Settlement Amount, the End User will then enter their credit or debit card payment details. The End User will then select the ‘Process Payment by Card’ function, which submits the Settlement Amount for processing by either the card provider or direct to us. The selecting of the ‘Process Payment by Card’ function constitutes your express consent for us to process the Settlement Amount.
2.6 The End User will then receive a transaction authorisation code or a failure message. The End User will be responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the information set out in the transaction authorisation code or a failure message. We will only process the End User’s payment when we accept their payment request and we have satisfactorily received and verified identification and anti-money laundering documents. Once we have accepted the End User’s payment request they cannot withdraw it and payment cannot be terminated unless the termination provisions at clause 14 apply.
2.7 If the End User does not accept the Settlement Amount, select the “Cancel” option to stop the processing of the payment. 2.8 You can use the Vitesse Payments Portal to make payments by credit or debit card at any time. Subject to clause 2.9, upon selecting the ‘Process Payment by Card’ function we will immediately receive the order for payment.
2.9 If you make a payment by credit or debit card after the cut-off period set out in the terms applicable to the use of your card or, if you provide us with your payment order on a non-business day, you agree that your payment order will be received by us on the next applicable business day.
2.10 We execute all payments as soon as the payment schemes available to us allow (which can be within the next Business Day) following the date you gave us and we received your valid payment order.
3.1 If you have signed up for the provision of FX Services, the provisions of this clause 3 will apply to any FX Services we provide.
3.2 You can submit a request for FX Services by using the Vitesse Direct online platform. For clarification, we will not be bound to provide you with the FX Services until we have accepted your Order, and sent you confirmation that we have entered into a “Transaction”. We will only enter into a Transaction with you when we accept your Order and we have satisfactorily received and verified identification and anti-money laundering documents.
3.3 You are able to submit an Order by navigating to the institutions page on the Vitesse Direct online platform. When you select Confirm you will be deemed to have consented to and submitted your Order. Once we have accepted your Order you cannot withdraw it and the Transaction cannot be terminated unless the termination provisions at clause 14 apply.
3.4 Unless clause 3.5 applies, we will receive your Order immediately once it has been placed.

You are responsible for checking the accuracy of each confirmation and you must notify us of any errors promptly, and in any event prior to the relevant Settlement Date.

3.6 If you are a consumer, we may accept or refuse an Order at our absolute discretion without any liability to you. We will notify you of the refusal of an Order at the earliest opportunity and we will try to notify you by the end of the business day following receipt of the Order (or such longer time as may be permitted by the Payment Services Regulations 2009 as amended from time to time (“PSR”)). If possible, we will provide our reasons for the refusal and the procedure for rectifying any factual errors that led to the refusal. The maximum execution time for a Transaction will be five business days, however (dependent on the specific details of Transaction, such as destination currency etc.) we will use our reasonable endeavours to execute it prior to this time.. Prior to any Transaction you may request the details of the maximum execution time and any applicable charges for that transaction.
3.7 If you are a business, you agree that regulations 40 to 46 (Framework Contracts) of the PSR shall not apply.

You agree that we are not under any duty to make enquiries about any Order or other instructions which we reasonably believe are your genuine instructions.
3.9 Transactions will be made using a reference exchange rate, which will be the Vitesse foreign exchange rate. The Vitesse foreign exchange rate(s) applicable at any specific point in time can be viewed on the Vitesse customer website. The exchange rate applicable to your Transaction will be the Vitesse foreign exchange rate applicable at the point which we receive your Order. The current applicable exchange rate shall be displayed to you prior to you submitting an Order. You acknowledge and agree that if there is a delay between you submitting an Order and us receiving it (such as in the circumstances outlined in clause 3.5), the applicable exchange rate may change. The exact exchange rate at which your Transaction was executed will be available to you following the execution of each Transaction. The exchange rate applicable to your Transaction can be found by logging into your account with us, or in an email or electronic confirmation. Notwithstanding that an exchange rate is agreed at the time we accept your Order we cannot guarantee the same rate of exchange will apply to any other Transaction.
3.10 We shall be entitled to make certain charges in connection with a Transaction. If you are a consumer, a list of our applicable charges is set out in our Tariff.

Following such receipt, we will pay the Purchase Currency into your Account or in accordance with any other instructions you provide. All payments will be made as soon as is practical but if we do not receive your payment of the Sell Currency in sufficient time to make the payment of the Purchase Currency to you before the market cut-off time applicable to the Purchase Currency, we will pay the amount of the Purchase Currency to you or your beneficiary on the next following business day. No interest is payable on any balances in the Account.

We will not be obliged to make any further enquiries about you before providing any Payment Service and our reliance on such information shall not affect any other right we may have against you under these Terms or otherwise at law in relation to a Payment Service.
6.3 Save as provided in the PSR, we shall not be liable to you for any delay, failure or error in crediting the Purchase Currency to your Account or in transmitting funds to any bank account in accordance with your instructions pursuant, where such delay, failure or error is caused by: (a) failure or error of any machine, data processing system or transmission link (whether or not under our control); or (b) any period of essential maintenance, critical change, repairs, alteration to or failure of computer systems (whether or not under our control) or (c) the acts or omissions of any third party

This may (but will not necessarily) include bank charges, loss of interest or a fall in the value of the Sell Currency against the Purchase Currency between the business day following Settlement Date and the date of actual payment. However we will have no liability for, nor be required to compensate you against, any loss of profit or other consequential or indirect, special or economic loss or a loss of bargain howsoever arising including because you have been unable to enter into or to perform a contract with a third party, even if such losses were known to us or were reasonably foreseeable by us.

If you fail to make any payment due to us in accordance with these Terms (including Section C) and without affecting our right to terminate a Payment Service, we reserve the right to charge interest on any monies due to us from you at a rate of 2% per annum above the base rate from time to time of Bank of England between the due date for payment and either date of actual payment or the date of termination of the applicable Payment Services.

12.3 Where such payment error involves a conversion from one currency to another then the amount returned to the End User may differ from the original Settlement Amount as a result of the application of the Currency Conversion Rate to the attempted payment.

24.2 You acknowledge that: (a) we and our partners may also apply own sanctions screening checks; (b) we may apply additional checks in relation to high-risk payment instructions, including (i) those to or from individuals, entities or jurisdictions that are determined to be high-risk in our reasonable opinion; or (ii) in relation to any payment instructions that appear to be for an illegal or unauthorised purpose; (c) you are responsible for reviewing and dealing promptly with any concerns arising from any such checks; and (d) we may, as a regulated entity, be subject to audit and inspection by our regulators in relation to the provision of the Payment Services and therefore we may request that you provide, such records and other information as we may reasonably require.
24.3 In the event that you, we or any of our partners identify any activity or payment instruction as requiring further investigation, then you: (a) shall promptly provide us with any applicable information that you hold in relation to the payment or any End User (and we may forward any such information to any relevant party (including any bank, regulator or law enforcement agency)); (b) acknowledge that any such investigation may result in delay or rejection of individual payment instructions; (c) acknowledge that in the event that the necessary information is not provided, or there is an unreasonable delay in providing such information, then we will not process the payment and we may be obliged under applicable law to withhold payments and provide information to our regulators; (d) acknowledge that we are under no obligation to provide any Payment Service to you, and we may terminate any Payment Service for reasons other than proven criminality, based on our own or our partner’s assessment of the financial crime risk posed by you or any actual or proposed payment related to you, End Users or associated persons.
24.4 We employ automatic and manual processes to identify and investigate potentially fraudulent use of the Payment Services. If we detect fraudulent activity or suspect fraudulent activity, then we may take whatever action we reasonably believe is required under applicable laws or regulations.
24.5 In order that both parties can reasonably act to mitigate losses, in the event that either party becomes aware of any material event relating to Financial Crime Prevention that impacts upon your continued use or our continued provision of the Payment Services; then that party shall, within 5 business days, disclose details of that material event to the other party.
24.6 You agree to give all reasonable cooperation to us in relation to any periodic due diligence review.
24.7 You shall promptly notify us of any breach of your obligations under these Terms.
30.1 You and we both shall: (a) comply with all applicable laws relating to anti-bribery and anti-corruption, including but not limited to: (i) the UK Bribery Act 2010 (as amended); (ii) the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act 1977 (as amended); (b) not engage in any activity, practice or conduct anywhere in the world which would constitute an offence under sections 1, 2 or 6 of the Bribery Act 2010 if such activity, practice or conduct had been carried out in the UK; (c) promptly report to the other any request or demand for any undue financial or other advantage of any kind received by them in connection with the performance of any Payment Service; and (d) you and we shall each ensure that all persons who are receiving or providing Payment Services on your or our behalf in connection with an actual or proposed Payment Service shall comply with the requirements of this.
26.1 You and we may agree that: additional terms apply, or the Terms set out above are varied, in relation to the provision of a Payment Service, a Transaction or for all services we provide to you. Any additional terms or variations will be set out in the Schedule and, if agreed after we start providing any services under these Terms, the Schedule must be signed by the parties (or their authorised representatives).
26.2 If there is an inconsistency between any of the provisions in the main body of these Terms any variation of these Terms set out in the Schedules and agreed in accordance with this Section H, the terms of the Schedule shall take precedence over these Terms.
