3. Traitement des opérations de paiement
Le Service facilite le traitement des opérations de paiement à l'égard des achats entre un acheteur et un vendeur. Le Service emmagasine des renseignements à l'égard des acheteurs, par exemple leurs instruments de paiement et leurs renseignements d'expédition, et traite les opérations de paiement pour le compte des vendeurs au moyen du réseau de cartes de crédit ou de carte de débit approprié. GPC peut retarder le traitement du paiement à l'égard d'opérations suspectes ou qui peuvent s'accompagner de fraude, d'une faute ou violation des lois applicables, des présentes modalités de service à l'égard des acheteurs ou d'autres politiques de GPC ou politiques applicables du Service, comme l'estime GPC, à son entière discrétion. L'acheteur autorise la facturation ou le débit au moyen de l'instrument de paiement de l'acheteur pour réaliser le traitement d'une opération de paiement. L'acheteur autorise également le fait de porter des sommes au crédit de l'instrument de paiement de l'acheteur par voie d'écritures de contrepassation, de remboursements ou de redressements au moyen du Service.
Vous reconnaissez et convenez que vous achats de produits sont des opérations entre vous et le vendeur, et non avec GPC, Google ou l'un des membres du groupe de GPC. GPC n'est pas partie à vos achats de produits, et GPC, Google, ou d'autres membres du groupe de GPC ne sont ni acheteur ni vendeur dans le cadre de toute opération de paiement, à moins qu'ils ne soient expressément désignés comme tels dans la description relative au produit figurant sur un site Web de Google.
4. Opération de paiement autorisée
Vous ne pouvez utiliser le Service que pour traiter une opération de paiement à l'égard d'un produit acheté auprès d'un vendeur dans le cadre d'une vente légitime et effectuée de bonne foi du produit. Le Service ne peut être utilisé pour traiter une opération de paiement ou autrement transférer de l'argent entre un acheteur et un vendeur, sauf dans le cadre de l'achat d'un produit. Le Service ne peut être utilisé pour recevoir des avances en argent de vendeurs ou pour faciliter l'achat de quasi‑espèces (chèques de voyage, cartes prépayées, mandats, etc.). Vous ne pouvez l'utiliser pour traiter des opérations de paiement dans le cadre de la vente ou de l'échange de biens et de services illégaux ou de toute autre opération sous‑jacente illégale.
Vous convenez de ne pas utiliser le Service afin de traiter des opérations de paiement à l'égard de produits qui violent les présentes modalités de service, d'autres politiques ou règles applicables au Service ou les lois applicables. La politique actuelle qui établit les produits et autres opérations qui ne peuvent faire l'objet d'un paiement au moyen du Service est fournie ici. L'omission de se conformer à ces limites pourrait entraîner la suspension ou l'arrêt de votre utilisation du Service.
5. Limites à l'utilisation du Service
Nous pouvons établir des pratiques générales et des limites pour l'utilisation du Service, notamment des limites individuelles ou globales d'opérations relativement au montant en argent ou au nombre d'opérations de paiement pouvant être effectuées durant une ou plusieurs périodes de temps déterminées.

Nous pouvons limiter ou interrompre votre utilisation du Service à tout moment, à notre entière discrétion. Si nous interrompons votre utilisation du Service, nous chercherons à vous en informer par courrier électronique.

10. Litiges
GPC fournira divers outils pour aider les clients à communiquer entre eux dans le but de régler un litige éventuel entre acheteurs et vendeurs à l'égard de leur opération. Si les clients sont incapables de résoudre un litige, nous pouvons servir de médiateurs entre les acheteurs et les vendeurs, sur demande d'une des deux parties. Dans ce cas, nous examinerons le différend et proposerons une solution ne liant pas les parties, s'il y a lieu. Pour de plus amples renseignements, veuillez vous reporter à notre lien Foire aux questions.
GPC peut offrir un système de commentaires ou un autre système de pointage à l'égard du Service pour vous aider à évaluer d'autres clients du Service. Vous reconnaissez qu'un tel système de commentaires ou de pointage représente seulement l'avis d'autres clients du Service et qu'il ne constitue pas un avis, une déclaration ou une garantie de la part de GPC à l'égard d'autres clients du Service.
Vous acceptez de libérer GPC, Google et les autres membres du groupe de GPC ainsi que leurs mandataires, entrepreneurs, dirigeants et employés de l'ensemble des réclamations, demandes et dommages (réels ou accessoires) découlant d'un différend ou liés, de quelque façon que ce soit, à celui‑ci. Vous convenez que vous ne pouvez impliquer GPC dans un litige ou autre différend découlant d'une opération, d'une entente ou d'un arrangement avec un vendeur, un autre acheteur, un annonceur ou une tierce partie dans le cadre du Service ou lié à ceux‑ci. Si vous tentez de le faire i) vous paierez tous les frais juridiques de GPC, de Google et des autres membres du groupe de GPC et devrez fournir une indemnisation, comme il est décrit ci‑après et ii) la compétence à l'égard d'un tel litige ou différend sera limitée comme il est prévu ci‑après. Toutefois, aucune disposition des présentes modalités de service ne constituera une renonciation à un droit, à une réclamation ou à une défense que vous pourriez avoir à l'égard d'une opération de paiement aux termes d'une convention avec l'émetteur de carte ou des règles de l'association de cartes de l'acheteur.

12. GPC n'est pas une institution bancaire
GPC traite les opérations de paiement pour le compte des vendeurs. GPC n'est pas une banque ou une autre institution de dépôt à charte. Les fonds détenus par GPC ou ses fournisseurs de services (notamment les fournisseurs de services bancaires) dans le cadre du traitement des opérations de paiement ne sont pas des dépôts de l'acheteur et ne sont pas assurés en faveur de l'acheteur par quelque organisme gouvernemental que ce soit.
13. Résiliation du Service
Nous pouvons, à notre entière discrétion, et sans engager notre responsabilité envers vous ou une tierce partie, résilier votre utilisation du Service pour quelque raison que ce soit, notamment par suite d'inactivité ou de violation des présentes modalités de service ou d'autres politiques que nous pouvons établir à l'occasion.

16. Biens non réclamés
Si nous détenons des fonds qui vous sont dus à la suite d'une opération de paiement traitée au moyen du Service ou autrement et que nous sommes incapables de communiquer avec vous ni n'avons aucun relevé de votre utilisation du Service sur plusieurs années, les lois applicables pourraient exiger que nous déclarions ces fonds comme biens non réclamés. Dans un tel cas, nous essaierons de vous localiser à l'adresse figurant dans nos registres mais, si nous sommes incapables de vous localiser, nous pourrions être tenus de remettre ces fonds à l'État, à la province ou au territoire pertinent à titre de biens non réclamés. Nous nous réservons le droit de déduire des frais de garde ou autres frais administratif à l'égard de ces fonds non réclamés, conformément aux lois applicables.

1. Your relationship with Google
1.1 Your use of Google Checkout is subject to the terms of a legal agreement between you and Google. "Google" means Google Payment Limited, a company incorporated in England and Wales with registered number 05903713 and having its registered office at Belgrave House, 76 Buckingham Palace Road, London SW1W 9TQ, United Kingdom. Google is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority as an electronic money ("e-money") issuer and is entered into the FSA register with register number 462517. This document explains how the agreement is made up, and sets out some of the terms of that agreement.
1.2 The service provided by Google is an e-money payment processing service ("the Service"). By using the Service you will purchase e-money from Google which will then be used to make payments to merchants (each "a Seller") who choose to use the Service. E-money is not a deposit, it is electronic value issued by Google on receipt of funds from you. E-money resides in Google's computer system and represents a claim by you against Google for redemption.
1.3 Your agreement with Google includes these terms and conditions and shall also include the terms of any legal notices or programme policies applicable to the Service (collectively, the "Terms"). Where any such additional terms apply, these will be accessible for you to read either within, or through your use of, the Service.

2.3 You may not use the Service and may not accept the Terms if (a) you are not of legal age to form a binding contract with Google and operate the Payment Instrument you register for use with the Service, or (b) you are a person barred from receiving the Service under the laws of the United States or other countries including the country in which you are resident or from which you use the Service.

You may stop using the Service at any time. You do not need to specifically inform Google when you stop using the Service.
5.4 Google may establish general practices and limits concerning use of the Service, including without limitation individual or aggregate transaction limits on the monetary amount or number of Payment Transactions during any specified time period(s).

You should consult the terms and conditions governing your Payment Instrument for more information about any such fees.
13. Disputes
13.1 Google will provide various tools to assist you in communicating with Sellers to resolve a dispute that may arise with respect to a transaction.
