Terms of Service - Payxem
Last updated: 1 August 2026
1. Overview
Payxem is the Digitalancers Platform, a technology platform that gives freelancers, consultants, and small businesses three connected products: Payments (invoices, pay links, and a ledger wallet at app.payxem.com), a Digital Business Card (at mykard.link/@username), and a Portfolio page (at {username}.payxem.com).
Payxem is operated by LINC GLOBAL HUB INC., a Delaware, USA registered company, with support from affiliated partners across different regions.
Payxem is not a bank, financial institution, or licensed payment processor.
By accessing or using Payxem, you agree to these Terms of Service.
2. Nature of Service
Payxem provides tools for:
- Creating and sending invoices
- Generating payment links
- Tracking payment status and transaction records
- Viewing balances through a ledger-based system
- Submitting withdrawal or payout requests
- Publishing a Digital Business Card at mykard.link/@username
- Publishing a Portfolio page at {username}.payxem.com
Payxem operates as a technology platform.
All payments are processed by third-party providers such as PayPal, Stripe, or other supported channels. Payxem does not process payments directly.
Payxem does not operate as a bank, custodial wallet, escrow service, or money transmission provider.
3. User Responsibilities
By using Payxem, you agree to:
- Provide accurate and complete information
- Use the platform only for lawful purposes
- Comply with all applicable laws and regulations
- Maintain the security of your account credentials
You are solely responsible for:
- The services or products you offer
- Agreements and communication with your clients
- Delivery, quality, and fulfillment of your work
- Handling disputes, refunds, and claims
4. Payments and Fees
Payxem charges a platform service fee of up to 2.5% + $0.30 per successful payment.
Additional fees may apply from third-party providers such as PayPal or Stripe, based on their own policies.
Exchange rates, bank charges, or other external fees may also apply.
Users may choose to pass certain fees to clients where supported.
All fees are subject to change. Any updates will be reflected on the Payxem website and communicated where applicable.
5. Ledger and Balance Display
All balances shown in Payxem are calculated ledger records and do not represent funds held by Payxem.
The “wallet”, “available balance”, and “pending balance” shown in Payxem represent internal ledger records.
These balances:
- Reflect transaction tracking based on confirmed payments
- Are system-calculated estimates after fees and adjustments
- Do not represent funds held in a bank account
- Are not safeguarded or insured balances
Actual funds are processed and held by third-party providers until settlement.
6. Payouts and Withdrawals
Withdrawal requests submitted through Payxem are requests for settlement and distribution of funds.
All payout requests:
- Are subject to review and approval
- May require identity verification or additional information
- May be processed manually or through integrated channels
Our payment and payout partners may approve, delay, or reject withdrawal requests based on risk, compliance, or operational requirements. Payxem does not hold or control funds; funds are held and settled by these partners.
Payxem does not charge fees for withdrawals. However, external fees such as bank transfer or currency conversion charges may apply. A 1% fee, capped at $1 maximum, may be charged by the payout partner, not by Payxem.
Users are responsible for providing accurate payout details. Payxem is not liable for losses due to incorrect information.
Reward Points and Bonuses
Reward Points and bonuses are a discretionary loyalty programme and may be changed, reduced, or discontinued at any time.
- You earn 1 Reward Point for every $1 you get paid on an invoice, or deposit via crypto. 1,000 Points = $1, redeemable to your wallet after KYC verification.
- The $2 joining bonus (credited when you complete KYC) and the $2 referral bonus (credited when a user you refer joins and completes KYC) are paid as USD to your wallet.
- These bonuses become withdrawable, or payable, only after you have received at least $50 in payments within 60 days of joining. Deposits, bonus amounts, and Payxem-to-Payxem transfers do not count toward this $50.
- Accounts that stay inactive, with no payment received, and never reach $50 within 60 days of joining, may have the joining bonus reversed and returned to Payxem.
- Reward Points and bonuses carry no cash value until redeemed or unlocked, are not transferable, and do not constitute a claim or financial obligation on the part of Payxem.
For a plain-language explanation of the joining and referral bonuses, see How Payxem Refer and Earn works.
7. Holding Period and Risk Control
To maintain security and comply with third-party requirements:
- Payments are subject to a security clearance period, typically 7 to 14 business days, before becoming available for withdrawal, depending on the user’s risk profile, account history, country, region, and dispute record
- New accounts, or accounts based in higher-risk regions, may see this period extended, based on our payment processors’ own risk policies
- Accounts in good standing may qualify for a reduced hold period over time
- Accounts with an open dispute or chargeback may face additional holds or restrictions until it is resolved
- Business days exclude weekends and public holidays
- Funds remain in a pending state until cleared
In addition to the standard holding period, our payment and payout partners may apply a rolling risk reserve, withholding a portion of a user’s balance for a further period before release. Whether a reserve applies, and its size and duration, depends on the user’s account, region, country risk profile, transaction history, and other risk factors as assessed by our partners. Where applied, a reserve typically ranges from 5% to 25% of relevant balances and may be held for 2 to 20 weeks.
These holding and reserve practices are not unique to Payxem. They reflect terms our payment processors themselves publish and apply to any account moving funds through their systems, including ours:
- PayPal User Agreement, Section 10.7 (“Reserves”) and Section 10.4(e): https://www.paypal.com/us/legalhub/paypal/useragreement-full
- Stripe Services Agreement, Section 3.3 (“Reserve”): https://stripe.com/legal/ssa-services-terms
Users are welcome to review these agreements directly.
This process helps manage fraud risk, chargebacks, and operational compliance.
8. Disputes and Chargebacks
Payxem does not mediate disputes between users and their clients.
All disputes must be handled directly with the client or through the relevant payment processor.
Consistent with standard payment processor risk management practices, accounts with a dispute, chargeback, or refund ratio exceeding 5% of paid transactions may be suspended for review. Accounts exceeding a 10% dispute or refund ratio within a rolling 60-day period may be permanently restricted.
In case of disputes, chargebacks, or refunds:
- Payxem may adjust the user’s ledger balance
- Deduct amounts from available or future balances
- Temporarily restrict withdrawals
If funds have already been withdrawn, the user remains fully liable for the amount.
Payxem reserves the right to recover such amounts from future earnings or take further action where necessary, including escalation through appropriate recovery channels and, where applicable under the relevant agreements and payment processor requirements, sharing relevant identity and transaction information with competent authorities or financial institutions for recovery purposes.
9. Public Pages, User Content, and Usernames
Your Digital Business Card (mykard.link/@username), Portfolio ({username}.payxem.com), and pay link pages are public surfaces. You are solely responsible for the content you publish on them, including text, images, testimonials, service descriptions, FAQ, and any files uploaded (for example, hero or gallery images).
You grant Payxem a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, cache, display, and distribute the content you publish, only to the extent required to operate the platform and deliver the public pages to visitors. You retain ownership of your content.
Username and subdomain policy:
- Each user account has a single username that powers all three surfaces (mykard.link/@username, app.payxem.com/p/{username}, and {username}.payxem.com).
- Username changes are capped at two lifetime renames per user (measured from the first rename). This cap exists to prevent brand hijacking and link rot. The global cap and per-user override may be adjusted by Payxem.
- When a username is released, the old slug is reserved for 60 days to prevent squatting and confusion.
- Certain words are reserved and cannot be used as a username, including infrastructure terms, payment-platform names, regulated brands, government names, phishing-style terms, and words Payxem holds for internal or moderation use. The reserved list may be updated at any time.
- Payxem may force-rename any username that violates these Terms, infringes a trademark, impersonates another person or entity, or is used in bad faith. Forced renames do not count toward your two-rename cap.
You may not:
- Impersonate another person, brand, or organization on any Payxem-hosted page.
- Publish content that infringes trademarks, copyrights, or other intellectual property rights.
- Use your public pages to host adult content, illegal content, malware, or phishing material.
- Use a reserved, brand-protected, or high-risk slug without written authorization from Payxem.
- Abuse the quote-request or contact flows on Portfolio and Card pages to send spam, scams, or unsolicited marketing.
Payxem may remove content, unpublish pages, reassign slugs, or suspend accounts that violate this section. See also the Acceptable Use Policy.
10. Prohibited Activities
Users may not use Payxem for:
- Fraudulent or deceptive activities
- Illegal goods or services

Accounts may be restricted or terminated if such activities are detected.
11. Account Suspension and Termination
Payxem may suspend, restrict, or terminate accounts if:
- These Terms are violated

- Multiple accounts are created or operated by the same individual or entity to bypass KYC checks, verification requirements, or other account controls
By signing up, you agree to use only the email address, social media accounts, and bank account registered under your own name with Payxem. Any of the activities listed above is treated as a breach of these Terms.
Payxem and its payment partners reserve the right to suspend, restrict, or terminate an account, with or without prior notice, where any of the above applies or where required by risk, compliance, or regulatory obligations.
Users may stop using Payxem at any time.
