d Payment (Carrier) and d Payment (Wallet)
A Merchant cannot contract for both d Payment (Carrier) and d-Barai (Wallet) services. A Merchant can contract for only either d Payment  (Carrier) or d Payment (Wallet).  Note that the release of d Payment (Wallet) is scheduled for October 2022.

Unauthorized Usage Investigations and Chargebacks
As a result of a complaint from the end user due to defective items or use that he/she is not aware of, or doubts about unauthorized use by a third party, docomo may conduct unauthorized usage investigation or a chargeback (refusal of factoring) may be made. Upon receipt of notification from docomo, SBPS will promptly report it to the relevant Merchant. Then, the Merchant is encouraged to take action in accordance with the notification. Note that if the charge back is fixed, the relevant sales amount will be excluded from settlement and be borne by the Merchant. For details, see the statement of material importance submitted when applying for the service.

Cautions on Link Type purchase requests for recurring billing (fixed term/pay as you go)
When a Link Type purchase request for the recurring billing (fixed term/pay as you go) is made, the application processing and payment processing are carried out, but in some cases, the billing may fail after the application processing.  In such cases, the application processing is canceled and the purchase request itself is canceled.  Although an application email is sent to the end user, no money is billed. (The billing error screen is also displayed.)  To avoid such cases, make a Link Type recurring billing (fixed term/pay as you go) application request, and then make an API type recurring billing (fixed term/pay as you go) purchase request, rather than the Link Type purchase request.

Test payments in the test environment
All payments made in the test environment are treated as actual production payments. Therefore, after making test payments, be sure to cancel the payments and registrations.  If they are not canceled, they are handled as the targets of settlement and payment fees are charged.

Specifications
d Payment is provided by incorporating the service provided by DOCOMO into the Online Payment ASP Service.  Note that if docomo makes a change to the specification or economic requirement, the specifications of the d-Barai Service provided by SBPS may also change.

Service Suspension Due to Maintenance, etc.
Maintenance of the Online Payment ASP Service is performed on an irregular basis. Any service suspension due to maintenance will be notified in advance. As a rule, such a notification is made 1 week before the suspension. However, this may not be the case in the event of emergency maintenance.
If the service is suspended due to maintenance or the failure of docomo or its partner systems that are not SBPS systems, SBPS will promptly report it to Merchants as soon as we become aware of the situation and then find out the cause. Note that although SBPS will report to Merchants as soon as we find out the cause, it may take time to determine the cause if the problem is not attributable to us.
