You further bind yourself with the merchant’s terms of sale, such as but not limited to, how you will receive the products and/or services that you purchased.

You shall be fully accountable for payment transactions especially in dealing with merchants that have limited refund policies.
Transactions you have with a seller who accepted payment through GCash shall be subject to such seller’s terms and conditions, including terms for purchase, return, and refund. You acknowledge that GCash is only used as a payment channel and is not involved in the actual sale of the sale transaction.
You may agree with a seller to use GCash as the payment channel for future purchases with that seller. This agreement is between you and the seller and allows the seller to take funds from your GCash account with your authorization on a one-time, regular, or sporadic basis. Examples of automatic payments that can be arranged by you either with a seller or with GCash include those that GCash calls a “billing agreement,” “subscription,” “recurring payment,” “reference transaction,” “preauthorized debit”, “preauthorized transfer” or “preapproved payment.”
You may cancel an automatic payment up to two (2) business days before the date of the next scheduled payment from your account settings or by contacting the merchant directly. Once an automatic payment is canceled, all future automatic payments under your agreement with that seller will be stopped. If you cancel an automatic payment, you may still owe the seller funds for the purchase or have additional obligations to the seller for any products or services that you received but have not paid for and you may be required to pay the seller through alternative means.
8. PAY BILLS
Payment of bills does not require a printed receipt from the biller. GCash shall be affiliating billers to accept payments via the “Pay Bills” menu. For this transaction, the User selects the biller to be paid, and inputs payment details and the amount to be paid. Once the details are inputted, the User shall be directed to a summary page with the payment details for User’s confirmation. An SMS/E-receipt will be sent to your GCash Account which confirms the payment transaction.
The use of your MPIN upon log-in to GCash Account shall be sufficient evidence that you have authorized the payment transactions. The transaction reference no. in the SMS/E-receipt shall be your proof of payment to the biller.
Erroneous transactions shall be deemed successful and shall follow a “No Refund” policy if the erroneous transaction, after investigation by GCash, is proven to be due to User’s mistake or error (e.g. input of wrong recipient details or wrong biller). The result of GCash’s investigation shall be final and conclusive.
9. AIRTIME LOAD AND MICROPAYMENTS
Loading of airtime credits and/or payment of products and services to GCash-accredited merchants using funds from a GCash Wallet shall be available via keyword-based commands or menu-based transactions.
For USSD, the SMS sent to the User shall be sufficient evidence that the User authorized the transaction and therefore, cannot be disputed by the User. The same rule shall apply for menu-based transactions, once the User keys in his MPIN. In both cases, the transaction reference number in the SMS/E-receipt confirmation shall be the User’s proof of payment.
10. TRANSACTION AND WALLET LIMIT
Transaction and GCash Wallet limits may be assigned or changed by GCash. GCash Wallet limits are applied not on a per-wallet basis but on a per User basis. If a User has multiple GCash Wallets under his name, limits shall be shared across all the wallets linked to the User’s profile.

The User agrees to surrender the GCash Card upon demand by GCash.

GCash Group shall be held free and harmless from any Claims should the Statement be received and read by any person other than the User. Neither may User thereafter raise the defense that he failed to receive the Statement. In all instances, the User may inquire about the Statement by contacting the Help Center or the Hotline. GCash may charge a fee for Statement requests.
15. DISPUTES AND ERRONEOUS TRANSACTIONS
The details in the SMS/E-receipt in the GCash App after every successful transaction and the entries in the Statement are presumed accurate unless the User notifies GCash in writing of any dispute it may have thereto within fifteen (15) days from the date of transaction. If no dispute is reported within the said period, all transactions and the entries in the Statement are considered conclusive and accurate. Disputed transactions shall only be credited back to the User’s GCash Wallet once the dispute has been properly processed, investigated, and proven to be in favor of the User. On the other hand, there shall be no reversals for transactions made through key-word based commands and erroneous transactions made by the User.
In case of errors or questions about your transactions, you shall inform GCash through the Help Center or the Hotline within fifteen (15) business days from the date of the transaction.
