License Agreement

October 2023

1. About Payton and InstaPay

1.1. We are Payton Tech Ltd (company number: 14762156) (‘Payton’).

1.2. Payton is the provider of the InstaPay application (‘InstaPay’). This license agreement (‘Agreement’) governs your use of InstaPay and is a binding agreement between you (‘you’) and Payton.

1.3. InstaPay enables users to access a portion of their earned wages in advance of payday. It is an ‘employer-provided financial service’ – this means that your employer (and not Payton) is responsible for your remuneration, your right to access your earned wages before payday, and all other employment considerations. You should contact your employer directly if you have any questions or issues regarding your remuneration or your ability to access your earned wages.

1.4. Earned wages which are accessed in advance of payday using InstaPay are provided to you by your employer (and not Payton). Payments made to you are deducted (together with the applicable fee) from the amounts that would have otherwise been paid to you on payday. These payments constitute an advance and not credit.

1.5. InstaPay can only be used to send earned wages to the bank account that your employer uses to pay you your wages.

2. This Agreement

By using InstaPay, you:

(a) acknowledge that you have read and understand this Agreement; and    
(b) accept this Agreement and agree that you are legally bound by its terms. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use InstaPay and delete InstaPay from your device.

3. Using InstaPay

3.1. InstaPay is licensed, not sold, to you. All material on InstaPay is the property of Payton and/or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademarks and other intellectual property rights. You do not acquire any ownership interest in InstaPay under this Agreement, or any other rights other than to use InstaPay in accordance with this Agreement.


3.2. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Payton grants you a limited, non-exclusive, and non-transferable license to download, install, and use InstaPay for your personal, non-commercial use on a single mobile or computer device owned or otherwise controlled by you (‘Mobile Device’).

4. Restrictions

(a) copy, modify, translate, adapt, or otherwise create derivative works or improvements of InstaPay;

(c) remove, delete, alter, or obscure any trademarks or any copyright, trademark, patent, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights notices from InstaPay, including any copy thereof;

(d) rent, lease, lend, sell, sublicense, assign, distribute, publish, transfer, or otherwise make available InstaPay, or any features or functionality of InstaPay, to any third party for any reason, including by making InstaPay available on a network where it is capable of being accessed by more than one device at any time;

(e) use any robot, spider, or other automatic device, process, or means to access InstaPay for any purpose, including monitoring or copying any of the material on InstaPay;

(f) use any manual process to monitor or copy any of the material on InstaPay, or for any other purpose not expressly authorised in this Agreement, without Payton’s prior written consent;

(g) frame, mirror, or otherwise incorporate InstaPay or any portion of InstaPay as part of any other web or mobile application, website, or service;

(h) use InstaPay in any manner that could disable, overburden, damage, or impair InstaPay or interfere with any other party’s use of InstaPay; or

(i) remove, disable, circumvent, or otherwise create or implement any workaround to any copy protection, rights management, or security features in or protecting the InstaPay.
