Terms of use

These terms apply when you use Tamapay to pay a property developer in the Philippines. They explain what Tamapay does, what it does not do, and what we expect from you. Please read them before you make a payment.

Tamapay lets you pay amounts you owe a developer, such as a reservation fee, a down payment, a monthly amortization or association dues, from wherever you live. You pay online, and we pass the money to your developer in Philippine pesos with a record of who paid and for which unit.

Your developer may send you a payment link by email, or you may set up auto-debit so your monthly installment is charged to your card on schedule. The auto-debit terms explain how that works.

By opening a payment link, entering your payment details or confirming a payment, you agree to these terms and to our privacy notice. If you do not agree, do not use Tamapay.

You must be of legal age and able to agree to these terms. If you pay for someone else, such as a family member who owns the unit, you confirm that you are allowed to do so.

Your contract to buy or reserve a property is between you and your developer. Tamapay only processes the payment. We do not sell property, set prices, schedules or penalties, or decide whether a payment is due.

Questions about your unit, your contract, turnover, cancellations or the amount you owe should go to your developer. Your developer sees the same payment record we do.

You can pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or PayPal, and with e-wallets or a Philippine bank account where your developer offers them. Before you confirm, you will see the amount due, any fee, the total and the exchange rate. Check these carefully.

A payment is complete when you see “Payment complete” on screen, and we email you a receipt. We then credit the payment to your developer, who decides when it is posted to your account with them.

Your bank, card issuer or e-wallet provider may approve or decline a payment, and may have its own rules and limits. We cannot override their decision.

If a fee applies to your payment, it will be shown before you confirm. We will not add a fee you were not shown.

Amounts are set in Philippine pesos. A card is charged in its own currency, and the exchange rate is shown before you confirm. With auto-debit, cards issued outside the Philippines are charged in US dollars. Your card issuer may add its own fees, such as a foreign transaction fee; those are set by them, not by Tamapay.

Because your payment goes to your developer, refunds for property reasons are decided by your developer. If something went wrong with the payment itself, such as a double charge, we will look into it. Our refunds and disputes page explains how to ask.

• Give accurate details, including your name, email address and the unit or reference you are paying for.
• Only use cards and accounts that you are allowed to use.
• Keep payment links and any codes we send you private.
• Tell us quickly if you see a payment you did not make.

• Use Tamapay for anything illegal, including fraud or moving money that is the proceeds of crime.
• Pretend to be someone else or use another person's payment details without their permission.
• Try to break, overload or get around the security of our website or systems.
• Copy, scrape or resell our service or content.

We may decline, hold or reverse a payment, or block access to Tamapay, if we reasonably believe a payment is fraudulent or unauthorised, if the law or a regulator requires it, or if you break these terms. Where we are allowed to, we will tell you why.

We may also need to ask you for identification or information about where your money comes from before we process a payment.

We work to keep Tamapay available and accurate, but we cannot promise it will never be interrupted. We are not responsible for delays or failures caused by banks, card networks, internet outages or other events outside our reasonable control.

We are not responsible for the property, the developer's obligations to you, or any loss that comes from your contract with the developer.

Nothing in these terms takes away rights you have under Philippine consumer law.

We use your personal data to process your payments and keep them secure. Our privacy notice explains what we collect, why, and the rights you have.

The Tamapay name, logo, website and software belong to Tamapay. You may use them only to make and keep track of your payments.

We may update these terms as the service or the law changes. The new version will be posted on this page, and the date at the top shows when it last changed.

These terms are governed by the laws of the Philippines. If you have a complaint, please contact us first so we can try to resolve it. If we cannot, either of us may take the matter to the proper courts of the Philippines.

Use our contact page. Include the payment reference from your receipt so we can find your payment quickly.
