2.  ZayZoon Services Generally

ZayZoon is a service provider for your Employer. We provide the ZayZoon Services on behalf of your Employer, and the ZayZoon Services allow you to access your earned but unpaid earnings (your “Unpaid Earnings”).  We make a portion of the amount that you have earned available for you to access upon request.  In order to request a Payout, you must have created an account with ZayZoon, and linked at least one Wallet to your ZayZoon Account. You may also link other destinations, such as ZayZoon Boost (described below). The ZayZoon Service may also provide you with financial education information and budgeting tools, which you can use for free.

Each time you ask us to access any Unpaid Earnings, you will be prompted to choose a destination (the “Wallet”) for where you would like us to send your Payout and to accept the transactions terms. ZayZoon has no ability to change or input your bank account or card information, and you are solely responsible for inputting the correct information.  ZayZoon will only send the Payouts to the bank account or card that you have entered into our system, so please ensure that it the information you enter is correct.  ZayZoon is not responsible for any information incorrectly entered by you.  We may suggest a default Wallet based on your prior usage of the ZayZoon Service. We will also disclose to you how much of your Unpaid Earnings we are able to provide. We will also present you with a choice of at least two delivery options. The fee ranges for each type of transfer are also disclosed below. Certain fees may be waived in connection with use of another ZayZoon product, or at ZayZoon’s sole discretion. All fees are described in Section 3 of these Terms.

When you accept the transaction terms, and upon distribution of your Payout, you, or ZayZoon on your behalf, will notify your Payroll Provider and Employer that you have requested and received the Payout. Such notice will represent your acknowledgment that you have received a portion of your Unpaid Earnings, and your authorization and direction for your Employer and the Payroll Provider to distribute to ZayZoon an amount (the “Repayment”) equal to the Payout plus the Processing Fee, if applicable, from your next Distribution.

Your right to access and use ZayZoon Services is personal to you and is not transferable by you to any other person or entity. You may only access and use the ZayZoon Services for lawful purposes.  ZayZoon has partnered with your Payroll Provider, employer, or both to provide you access to the ZayZoon Services.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NOT ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED OR CONVEYED YOUR WAGES FROM EMPLOYER OR ANY PART THEREOF. ZAYZOON HAS NO RIGHT TO ASSERT A CLAIM AGAINST YOU WITH RESPECT TO YOUR WAGES. However, if ZayZoon is unable to settle a Payout transaction, your access to the ZayZoon Services may be limited or suspended until such time as you voluntarily pay the outstanding Repayment amount.

ZayZoon uses a number of variables to determine your earned wages, which may include but is not limited to, earnings history, time and attendance data, and employer confirmation.  In rare instances, the determination of your Unpaid Earnings may be incorrectly calculated.  As a result, our system may distribute a Payout that is in excess of your Unpaid Earnings. In such an event, you authorize such amounts to be deducted from your next following Distribution.  You may withdraw this authorization at any time. For clarity, you will never incur additional fees as a result of this subsequent deduction.

In the event that you have received a Payout, it may constitute fraud for you to notify your Payroll Processor or Employer that you have not received a portion of your Unpaid Earnings through your use of the ZayZoon Services.

Your access and use of ZayZoon Services may be interrupted from time to time for any of several reasons, including the malfunction of equipment, periodic updating, maintenance or repair of the ZayZoon Service, or other actions that ZayZoon, in its sole discretion, may elect to take. In no event will ZayZoon be liable to any party for any loss, cost, or damage that results from any period of downtime of the Services.

ZayZoon Boost

ZayZoon Boost is a service offered through ZayZoon, but provided by Prizeout Corp. (“Prizeout”). Boost is another Wallet option that you can select to receive your Payout. With Boost, you select Boost/Prizeout as the location you would like ZayZoon to direct your Payout. If you select Boost as your Wallet, you will be redirected to the Prizeout website, where Prizeout will present you with available options. If you choose one of Prizeout’s presented options, you will be redirected back to the ZayZoon Services where you may confirm your decision to use Boost as your Wallet to receive Payouts. You will not be charged a Processing Fee for taking a Payout to your Boost Wallet, and there are no additional fees charged by ZayZoon for such service.  There is no change in the flow of funds from your use of the ZayZoon Services.

3. Fees

Processing Fee

Unless in a Fee-Free Transaction (defined below), you will be charged a flat fee (the “Processing Fee”) in the amount shown at the time you request your Payout from ZayZoon. The Processing Fee will be payable at the time the Repayment is sent to ZayZoon.  A "Fee-Free Transaction" will be one in which (i) you have requested the Payout using the Boost service; (ii) you are receiving a fee-free advance for a promotion or referral; or (iii) your employer has elected to pay for certain usage of the Services.  

The Processing Fee is the charge for participating in ZayZoon’s EWA Service, and it represents ZayZoon’s costs associated with processing your request and providing the Services.  ZayZoon connection with the EWA Service. The Processing Fee ranges for Payouts are as follows:

*Near Instant transfers can arrive immediately and will usually arrive in under 5 minutes.

You will incur no fee from ZayZoon unless you elect to use the Services.  You have no obligation to use the ZayZoon Services. You have the right to wait until your regular payment due date without using the ZayZoon Services. If you do choose to wait, you have the right to receive the full amount of your wages, without discount or fee charged by ZayZoon.

The Processing Fee is not dependent on the amount that you request from ZayZoon.  You incur the Processing Fee for each request that you make for a Near Instant Transfer of a Payout, except where such fee has been waived by ZayZoon or paid for by your Employer.  We want you to get the most from our service, and so we recommend that you keep this is in mind.  Two Near Instant Transfers for Payouts of $100, for example, will generally cost twice as much as one Near Instant Transfer of $200. 

We don’t enjoy charging you fees, and we want to minimize the amount you pay to get your Unpaid Earnings early.  Please use our service in the way that’s best for you today and tomorrow.
