These Terms of Service (these “Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Services. Please read these terms carefully.

These Terms supplement your merchant processing agreement (the “Agreement”). The Services are provided by Provider (through one or more of its affiliates or other subcontractors) and not any sponsor bank. Your sponsor bank shall have no obligations or liability under these Terms, including insofar as it applies to Services, and your sponsor bank shall not be liable to you or Provider in any way with respect to Services.

As used in these Terms:

“Association Rules” means Association security rules and regulations as they now exist or as each may be amended or supplemented from time to time.
“Platform” means an information platform that allows merchants to review and manage a merchant processing account and may include, among other features, a mobile app, application programming interfaces, and account reporting;
“Customer” means your customer who would like to provide payment for your goods or services;
“Gateway” means a messenger service that facilitates the transmission of transaction information between a Customer, you, us, and the Customer's bank, and includes a virtual terminal;

THE DISCLAIMERS, EXCLUSIONS, MANDATORY AND BINDING ARBITRATION, LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY, INDEMNIFICATION, WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL, WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION AND WAIVER OF PUNITIVE DAMAGES UNDER THESE TERMS WILL NOT APPLY TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages or other rights, so those provisions of these Terms may not apply to you.

THESE TERMS ARE A LEGAL AGREEMENT. BY ACCESSING AND USING THE SERVICES, YOU ARE ACCEPTING AND AGREEING TO THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ANY OF THE PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS, YOU SHOULD CEASE ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICES.
OVERVIEW, ELIGIBILITY, CUSTOMER SERVICE, TERM AND TERMINATION

Overview and Relation to Other Agreements.

These Terms govern your use of the Services. Certain features of the Services may be subject to additional guidelines, terms, or rules, which will be posted by Provider at Provider’s website. All additional guidelines, terms, or rules are incorporated by reference into these Terms, and you are agreeing to accept and abide by them by accessing and using the Services.

Our Role.

We may use the services of one or more third parties to provide the Services.

Eligibility.
You may use the Services only if you accept these Terms. By accessing or using the Services, you agree that you are in compliance with these Terms and all applicable local, state/provincial, national and international laws, rules, and regulations (including, but not limited to, the rules and regulations promulgated by the Associations, PCI-DSS, and Nacha).

The Services are not available to any users previously prohibited from using the Services by Provider.

Term and Termination. These terms will remain in full force and effect so long as you continue to access or use the Services, or until terminated in accordance with these Terms. At any time, Provider may (i) suspend or terminate your right to access or use the Services, (ii) terminate these Terms with respect to you if Provider in good faith believes that that you have used the Services in violation of these Terms, including any incorporated guidelines, terms or rules.
Effect of Termination. Upon termination of these Terms, your right to access and use the Services will automatically terminate. Termination does not relieve you of obligations incurred by you under these Terms.

ACCOUNTS
When you access and use the Services, you may be required to establish a user account with Provider (a “Platform Account”).
You represent and warrant that: (i) all required information you submit is truthful and accurate; (ii) you will maintain the accuracy of such information; and (iii) your use of the Services will not violate any U.S. or other applicable law or regulation. You are entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Platform Account login information and for all activities that occur under your Platform Account, including but not limited to removing access to accounts for former employees or representatives who are not authorized to access the Platform. You agree to maintain your password securely to prevent others from gaining access without your permission. You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorized use, or suspected unauthorized use, of your Platform Account or any other breach of security. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the above requirements.
You may only use Services to facilitate transactions with your customers.
At any time during the term of these Terms and your use of the Services, we may require additional information from you to verify beneficial ownership or control of the business, validate information you provided, verify you or your representative’s identity, and assess the risk associated with your business. Your failure to provide this information or material may result in suspension or termination of your Platform Account. You authorize us to retrieve information about you from our service providers and other third parties, including credit reporting agencies and information bureaus and you authorize and direct such third parties to compile and provide such information to us. You acknowledge that this may include your name, addresses, credit history, and other data about you or your representatives. You acknowledge that we may use your information to verify any other information you provide to us, and that any information we collect may affect our assessment of your overall risk to our business. You acknowledge that in some cases, such information may lead to suspension or termination of your Platform Account. Provider may periodically update this information as part of our underwriting criteria and risk analysis procedures.
You agree to keep the information in your Platform Account current. You must promptly update your Platform Account with any changes affecting you, the nature of your business activities, your Representatives, beneficial owners, principals, or any other pertinent information. We may suspend your Platform Account or terminate these Terms if you fail to keep this information current.

YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR CUSTOMERS
Provider provides Services to you but we have no way of knowing if any particular purchase, sale, order, or other transaction between you and your customers (each a “Transaction”) is accurate or complete, or typical for your business. You are responsible for knowing whether a Transaction initiated by your customer is erroneous (such as a customer purchasing one item when they meant to order another) or suspicious (such as unusual or large purchases, or a request for delivery to a foreign country where this typically does not occur).
You may only use the Services for legitimate Transactions with your customers.
If you are unsure if a Transaction is erroneous or suspicious, you agree to research the Transaction and, if necessary, contact your customer before fulfilling or completing the Transaction. You are solely responsible for any losses you incur due to erroneous or fraudulent Transactions in connection with your use of the Services.
The terms of the Agreement apply to all Transactions submitted through the Services.

ACCESS TO SERVICES
Access and Use. Subject to these Terms, Provider will permit you to access and use the Services for the purpose of enabling:
the direction of payment transaction data to applicable payment processors; and
(ii) ancillary processes and activities directly related thereto (the “Permitted Purpose”) and for no other purposes.
Certain Restrictions. The rights granted to you in these Terms are subject to the following restrictions:
you agree not to license, sell, rent, lease, transfer, assign, distribute, host, or otherwise commercially exploit the Services;
you agree not to modify, make derivative works of, disassemble, reverse compile, or reverse engineer any part of the Services;
you agree not to access the Services in order to build a similar or competitive service or product;
except as expressly stated herein, no part of the Services may be copied, reproduced, distributed, republished, downloaded, displayed, posted, or transmitted in any form or by any means;

you agree not to interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to, the servers or networks connected to the Services or violate the regulations, policies, or procedures of such networks; and
you agree not to access (or attempt to access) any of the Services by means other than through application programming interface(s) provided by Provider; and
you agree that any future release, update, amendment, or other addition to functionality of the Services shall be subject to these Terms.
Security. Provider cares about the integrity and security of your personal information. However, Provider cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat our security measures or use your personal information for improper purposes.
Modification. Provider reserves the right, at any time, to modify the Services or any part thereof with or without notice. You agree that Provider will not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, of the Services or any part thereof.

AGREED USAGE AND LIMITATIONS OF PROVIDER SERVICES

PROCESSING TRANSACTIONS; DISPUTES, REFUNDS, REVERSALS; AUDIT RIGHTS
To enable us to process Transactions for you, you authorize and direct us, our affiliates, the Payment Method Providers and Payment Method Acquirers to receive and settle any payment processing proceeds owed to you through the Services. “Payment Method” means a type of payment method that Provider accepts as part of the Services, such as credit card, debit card, and ACH. “Payment Method Acquirer” means a financial institution that is authorized by a Payment Method Provider to enable the use of a Payment Method by accepting charges from Customers on behalf of the Payment Method Provider, and routing these charges to the Payment Method Provider. “Payment Method Provider” means the provider of a Payment Method, such as Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express.

However, even authorized Transactions may be subject to a dispute. Provider is not responsible for or liable to you for authorized and completed Charges that are later the subject of a dispute, refund, or reversal, are submitted without authorization or in error, or violate any laws.
Upon notice to you, we may audit your usage, records and security of the Services, your Customer’s payment processing information, and the services provided hereunder to ensure: (i) that you are using the Services in full compliance with the provisions of these Terms; (ii) that all applicable fees have been paid; (iii) that you are adhering to your privacy policy; and (iv) that you are in full compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and rules (including but not limited to Association Rules).

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AGREE TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND, RELEASE AND HOLD PROVIDER AND ITS LICENSORS AND SUPPLIERS (COLLECTIVELY THE “PROVIDER PARTIES”) HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST: (I) ALL CLAIMS, ACTIONS, LAWSUITS AND ANY OTHER LEGAL ACTION BROUGHT BY ANY THIRD PARTY AGAINST ANY OF THE PROVIDER PARTIES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO (A) YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICES, (B) YOUR VIOLATION OF THESE TERMS, AND (C) YOUR VIOLATION OF ANY LAW OR THE RIGHTS OF ANY THIRD-PARTY (COLLECTIVELY “THIRD PARTY ACTIONS”); AND (II) ANY AND ALL RELATED LOSSES, DAMAGES, SETTLEMENTS AND JUDGMENTS (INCLUDING PAYMENT OF THE PROVIDER PARTIES’ ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS) INCURRED BY ANY OF THE PROVIDER PARTIES, ASSESSED OR FOUND AGAINST ANY OF THE PROVIDER PARTIES, OR MADE BY ANY OF THE PROVIDER PARTIES, RELATING TO OR ARISING FROM ANY SUCH THIRD PARTY ACTION (“THIRD PARTY RELATED LOSSES”). YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOUR INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION TO THE PROVIDER PARTIES APPLIES EVEN IF SUCH THIRD- PARTY ACTION AND THIRD PARTY RELATED LOSSES ARISE FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF ANY KIND OR DEGREE, BREACH OF CONTRACT OR WARRANTY, STRICT LIABILITY, NON-COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW, OR OTHER FAULT OR WRONGDOING OF ANY OF THE PROVIDER PARTIES. Provider reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify Provider and you agree to cooperate with our defense of such claims. You agree not to settle any such claim without Provider’s prior written consent. Provider will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim, action or proceeding upon becoming aware of it.

WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS

IN EVERY EVENT, PROVIDER’S TOTAL MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES SHALL BE LIMITED TO ONE MONTH OF FEES PAID BY YOU FOR THE SERVICES. THE CONSIDERATION BEING PAID HEREUNDER DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY CONSIDERATION FOR PROVIDER TO ASSUME ANY RISKS BEYOND THOSE EXPRESSLY ASSUMED HEREIN AND IF ANY SUCH RISKS WERE TO BE ASSUMED BY PROVIDER, PROVIDER WOULD NOT HAVE ENTERED INTO THIS AGREEMENT WITHOUT CHARGING SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER FEES. SOME STATES AND JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW FOR THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

If you are acquiring the Software on behalf of any part of the United States government (the “Government”), then: (i) any use, duplication, or disclosure by the Government is subject to the restrictions set forth in subparagraphs (a) through (d) of the Commercial Computer Software- Restricted Rights clause at FAR 52.227-19 when applicable, or in subparagraph (c)(1)(ii) of the Rights in Technical Data and Computer Software clause at DFARS 252.227-7013, and in similar clauses in the NASA FAR Supplement; (ii) we are the contractor/manufacturer; and (iii) any use, modification, reproduction, release, performance, display or disclosure of the Software and/or the accompanying documentation by the Government or any of its agencies shall be governed solely by the terms of this Section 14(F) and shall be prohibited except to the extent expressly permitted by the terms of these Terms.

Your use of the Services after such notice will be deemed acceptance of such changes.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
Upon termination or expiration of these Terms or the Agreement, a party’s obligations shall cease except for those remaining or required to be performed following such termination. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that the provisions of these Terms that logically should survive termination or expiration of these Terms in order to accomplish the fundamental purposes of such provisions will so survive.
