to reject the refund request and not be liable for the refund, and you shall
bear full compensation responsibility for all losses caused to PingPong
thereby.
12.5 Upon PingPong's request, if a transaction involves a refund
application, has high fraud risk, or is suspected of fraudulent behavior, you
shall provide PingPong with the information required by PingPong in the manner

or remedy under this Agreement (except as explicitly waived in writing) shall
not constitute a waiver by such party of such right or remedy; and the exercise
by any party of any right or remedy, either singly or partially, shall not
preclude such party from exercising such right or remedy separately or further,
or exercising any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies under this
Agreement are cumulative and shall not exclude any rights or remedies provided
by law. Any explicit waiver by any party of any breach of the provisions of this
Agreement by the other party shall not constitute a waiver by such party of

The terms of this Agreement have been provided to you before they become

contractual relationship, you have the right to request to receive the terms of
this Agreement on a durable medium.
This Agreement shall become effective from the date you or your
designated authorized person registers a PingPong Checkout account on the
PingPong website and agrees to this Agreement, or the date you actually use
PingPong acquiring services (whichever occurs first).
PingPong has the right to reasonably presume that the natural person
registering a PingPong acquiring account is your designated authorized person,
and you may not refuse to perform this Agreement on the grounds that such
operator lacks authorization.
If you enter into an acquiring service agreement with PingPong by signing
an offline agreement, and the offline version conflicts with this Agreement,
the offline version agreement shall prevail; where the offline version
agreement does not mention but this Agreement mentions, this Agreement shall
continue to apply.
If a Merchant generates multiple Department IDs ("DID") with
PingPong, the Merchant's contracting entity shall remain unchanged, meaning
each DID is not a separate entity. If different DIDs sign different versions of
this Agreement upon admission, it shall be deemed that the subsequently signed
this Agreement replaces the originally signed version of the agreement.
14.8 Amendment of Agreement
We are constantly updating PingPong Services, which means we sometimes
must change the terms of this Agreement. PingPong may revise, modify, or update
this Agreement at its discretion. Such changes shall become effective
immediately upon publication. If we make any material changes, we will notify
you by email or other means. If you do not agree to our changes, you should
immediately cease using PingPong Services. Your continued use of PingPong
Services will be subject to the new terms. However, any transactions or
disputes that occurred before the change shall be governed by the agreement in
effect at the time such transaction or dispute occurred.

manner and decide independently based on actual circumstances to take response
measures such as suspending relevant accounts, stopping transactions,

15.2.2.2 PingPong shall promptly provide you with subsequent chargeback
alert status updates (if any), such as account, logistics information,
transaction refund, order cancellation status, and other order information.
15.2.2.3 PingPong hereby disclaims all express or implied warranties,
including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a
particular purpose, and non-infringement. PingPong makes no warranties that
services will be error-free, continuous, fit for particular purposes, have
particular service quality, be accurate, or uninterrupted.
