General terms and conditions for online transactions via the Payrexx payment platform

Clubs and other Rotary organizations (e.g. districts, foundations, fellowships, services, etc.) have the option of concluding a contract with the payment service provider Payrexx AG, 3600 Thun ("Payrexx") in order to process online payments. This makes it possible to pay online for events, products, donations, etc. using the usual means of payment (Visa, Mastercard, TWINT, PostFinance, PayPal, Klarna, etc.).

Payrexx, as a financial intermediary SRO (Imprint payrexx.com), assumes the account verification of the organizations within the framework of the due diligence obligations applicable to financial intermediaries in accordance with money laundering legislation and guarantees the proper processing of payment transactions for the benefit of the organizations connected to the payment platform in accordance with its own contractual and business conditions. These terms and conditions are available here and also form an integral part of the contract with Payrexx: Terms of use and guidelines (payrexx.com).

Payrexx is solely responsible for payment transactions via the Payrexx payment platform. Neither Rotary Communication Services (RCS) nor the Polaris platform are involved in payment transactions.

As a regulated company, Payrexx must comply with the requirements of financial supervisory authorities, card companies and payment processors. Accordingly, business models with prohibited or only limited permissible product offerings are excluded from payment transactions via the Payrexx payment platform. The organizations undertake to strictly comply with these requirements in accordance with the contract with Payrexx.

In order for an organization to conclude a contract with Payrexx, it must provide these details and information.
