Draft. This text describes how this installation of FauxPay works, but it has not been reviewed by a lawyer yet. The operator of this installation is responsible for it.
1. What FauxPay is
FauxPay is a payment gateway simulator for software teams. It imitates the shape of a gateway (payment intents, a hosted checkout, payouts, signed webhooks, a ledger) so you can build and test an integration. It is not a licensed payment provider, it is not connected to any bank, card network or e-wallet, and no real money ever moves through it.
2. Acceptable use
You may use FauxPay to develop, test, demonstrate and automate tests of your own integration. You may not:
- Put a FauxPay checkout in front of real customers, or let anyone believe a FauxPay payment is a real one.
- Use a FauxPay checkout, receipt or screenshot as proof of payment, or to deceive a seller, a buyer or anyone else.
- Enter real card numbers, bank credentials or other real payment data. Use obviously fake values.
- Name your account after a bank, a wallet or a business you do not represent, or otherwise impersonate one.
- Send real people's personal data as customer fields. Use test data.
- Probe, overload or attack the service, or use it to reach systems you are not authorised to reach.
The operator may deactivate an account that breaks these rules, with or without notice.
3. Your account
You keep your API secret key safe. Anyone holding it can act as your account. Revoke a key from the dashboard as soon as you suspect it has leaked.
4. Plans and payment
FauxPay never collects money inside the application. If a paid plan is agreed, it is invoiced and paid outside FauxPay, and the operator updates your plan by hand.
5. No warranty
FauxPay is provided as is, without a service level. Sandbox data can be pruned (see the Privacy Policy) and may be reset. Do not rely on it to store anything you cannot recreate, and do not use its behaviour as a statement of how any real gateway behaves.
6. Changes
These terms can change. The date at the top of this page shows the current version.
