These Terms of Service (“Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you (“User,” “you,” or “your”) and SagaPay (“we,” “us,” or “our”) governing your access to and use of the SagaPay AI-Optimized B2B PayFi Trade Finance platform, including our website at sagapay.one, APIs, and related services (collectively, the “Platform”).
By creating an account, accessing, or using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Platform.
1. Service Description
SagaPay provides an AI-powered B2B invoice factoring and trade finance platform that enables businesses to:
- Invoice Factoring: Upload business invoices to receive advance payments (liquidity) before the invoice due date, at a discount
- AI-Powered Underwriting: Automated extraction of invoice data and AI-driven risk scoring using machine learning models
- RWA Tokenization: Tokenization of verified invoices as Real-World Asset (RWA) NFTs compliant with the ERC-3643 security token standard

- Compliance Tools: Integrated KYC/AML verification, audit trails, and regulatory reporting capabilities
The Platform is designed exclusively for business-to-business (B2B) transactions. SagaPay is not a bank, lending institution, or securities exchange. We act as a technology intermediary facilitating trade finance transactions.
2. Eligibility
To use the Platform, you represent and warrant that:
- You are a duly organized and validly existing business entity in your jurisdiction
- You have the legal authority to bind your organization to these Terms
- You are at least 18 years of age (or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction)
- Your business operates in a jurisdiction where invoice factoring and digital asset transactions are legally permitted
- You are not located in, organized under the laws of, or a resident of any country or territory subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions (including but not limited to: Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions of Ukraine)
- You will successfully complete our KYC/AML verification process through our partner Didit before accessing factoring services
- You are not on any government sanctions, debarment, or restricted party lists (OFAC SDN, EU Consolidated, UN Sanctions)
3. Account Registration
3.1 Account Creation
Accounts are created and managed through Clerk, our identity provider. You must provide accurate and complete information during registration, including a valid business email address. You may create an Organization within the Platform to manage team members and shared resources.
3.2 Account Security
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. You must immediately notify us of any unauthorized access to your account. We strongly recommend enabling multi-factor authentication (MFA). You are liable for all activities conducted through your account.
3.3 Organization Accounts
If you create an Organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms. Organization administrators are responsible for managing member access, permissions, and ensuring all members comply with these Terms.
4. Invoice Factoring Terms
4.1 Invoice Submission
You may submit invoices for factoring by uploading PDF documents through the Platform. You represent and warrant that each submitted invoice:
- Is genuine, accurate, and reflects a bona fide business transaction
- Has not been previously factored, pledged, or assigned to any third party
- Is not subject to any dispute, offset, or counterclaim with the buyer
- Represents goods or services that have been delivered or performed in full
4.2 Advance Rates & Disbursement
Upon approval of an invoice, SagaPay will advance a percentage of the invoice face value (the “Advance Rate”). Advance Rates are determined by our AI risk assessment engine and may vary based on:
- Invoice amount, currency, and payment terms
- Buyer creditworthiness and payment history
- Industry risk factors and economic conditions
- Your organization's historical performance on the Platform
Typical Advance Rates range from 80% to 95% of the invoice face value. The remaining balance (less fees) is released upon buyer payment of the original invoice.
4.3 Repayment & Recourse
Factoring through SagaPay is provided on a recourse basis. If the buyer fails to pay the invoice within the agreed payment terms plus a 30-day grace period, you are responsible for repaying the advanced amount plus accrued fees. We reserve the right to debit outstanding balances from future factoring disbursements.
5. AI Processing & Automation
5.1 Automated Invoice Extraction
Uploaded invoices are processed by our AI engine powered by OpenAI GPT-4o (text and vision models) to extract structured financial data. This automated extraction is designed to be accurate but may contain errors. You are responsible for reviewing and confirming the accuracy of extracted data before factoring approval.
5.2 AI Risk Scoring
Our platform uses machine learning algorithms to compute risk scores for each invoice. These scores are advisory and influence advance rates, fees, and approval decisions. Risk scores are generated based on financial parameters, historical data patterns, and market conditions.
5.3 Human-in-the-Loop Approval
ℹ Important Safeguard
All factoring decisions above defined risk thresholds require mandatory human review and approval. This human-in-the-loop process ensures that high-value or elevated-risk transactions are not processed solely by automated systems. This policy remains in effect until we serve at least 100 active clients with verified track records.
5.4 AI Limitations Disclaimer
AI-generated analyses, risk scores, and data extractions are provided “as-is” without warranty of accuracy or completeness. SagaPay does not guarantee that AI outputs are free from errors, biases, or hallucinations. Users should independently verify all AI-generated data before making financial decisions based upon it.
6. Blockchain Settlement
⚠ Current Status: Mock Mode
As of the effective date of these Terms, blockchain settlement functionality operates in mock/simulation mode. No actual on-chain transactions, token minting, or USDC disbursements occur in the current release. When live blockchain settlement is activated, these Terms will be updated and users will be notified of the transition.
6.1 Tokenization
When live, approved invoices will be tokenized as ERC-3643 compliant security token NFTs on the Neon EVM (Solana). Token transfers are restricted to KYC-verified wallets only, enforced by on-chain compliance modules.
6.2 Immutability
Blockchain transactions are irreversible and immutable. Once a transaction is recorded on-chain, it cannot be modified, cancelled, or reversed. You acknowledge this fundamental property of blockchain technology and accept the associated risks.
6.3 Wallet Responsibility
You are solely responsible for maintaining access to your blockchain wallet(s) and private keys. SagaPay is not a custodial service and cannot recover lost wallet credentials or reverse transactions sent to incorrect addresses. Transactions sent to wrong addresses may result in permanent loss of funds.
6.4 Network Risks
Blockchain networks may experience congestion, outages, forks, or protocol changes beyond our control. SagaPay is not liable for delays, failures, or losses resulting from blockchain network issues, smart contract vulnerabilities, or changes to underlying protocol economics.
7. Fees & Billing
The following fees apply to invoice factoring transactions on the Platform:
| Fee Type | Amount | Description |

All billing and subscription payments are processed through Stripe. You agree to Stripe's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Fees are non-refundable except where required by applicable law or as expressly stated in a separate factoring agreement.
We reserve the right to modify our fee structure with at least 30 days' prior written notice. Continued use of the Platform after fee changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the new fees.
