The revised terms now state that liability limitations for paid services will be set out in a separate Checkout.com Service Agreement rather than in the website terms. For password security issues, users should now contact support.checkout.com instead of legal@checkout.com.

Previous text
The updated terms modify how Checkout.com limits its liability for information published on its website and clarifies dispute resolution procedures. The revised language states that information on Checkout.com websites is provided for general information only and is not legal advice, and that users place reliance on such information at their own risk. The agreement now specifies that liability limitations for service-related claims will be set out in a separate Service Agreement rather than incorporated into the website terms. Password breach notifications should now be reported through support.checkout.com instead of legal@checkout.com.

Previous text
Checkout.com revised its website terms and anti-money laundering policy in an update detected on August 28, 2026. The website terms section now removes general disclaimers about information accuracy and adds explicit liability waivers, changes the password breach notification contact from legal@checkout.com to support.checkout.com, and clarifies that service-related liability limitations will be governed by a separate Service Agreement rather than a Merchant Services Agreement. The anti-money laundering policy was substantially rewritten to describe compliance obligations in global rather than UK-specific terms, emphasizing multi-jurisdiction regulatory supervision and adding language about identity verification protocols, transaction monitoring, and suspicious activity reporting.
