epay3 Payment Terms & Conditions Last Updated: 02/19/2024. 

By using epay3, Inc. (“epay3,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) payment processing services (the “Services”), the  business organization listed as the “Sub-Merchant” on the Service sign up page (sometimes referred to as  “you,” “your”, “user”) agrees to be bound by these payment terms and conditions (“Payment Terms”), the  website terms of service (the “Website Terms”), the Online Privacy Policy (“Policy”), and all other terms,  policies, agreements, and guidelines applicable to your use of the Services (hereby incorporated by  reference (the “Additional Terms”)). If you are using the Services on behalf of a business, that business  accepts these terms, and you represent to us that you have authority to bind that business or entity to these  terms. The Services may only be used for business purposes in the fifty states of the United States of  America and the District of Columbia. Defined terms will have the same meaning as those found in the  Website Terms, unless otherwise re-defined herein. 

THE EPAY3 SERVICES 

  1. Our Role 

We developed our Services to make it easy for you to accept credit card, debit card, and ACH payments  online (“Online Payments”) from your customers so you can focus on growing your business. Our Services  help you accept and process credit card, debit card, and Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) payments  from your customers who want to pay you for insurance policies. epay3’s Services support ACH Networks  and cards including US-issued and some non-US issued cards with a Visa, MasterCard, Discover, JCB, or  American Express logo (collectively the “Card Networks”) including credit, debit, pre-paid, or gift cards.  epay3 is not a bank or a financial institution, and epay3 does not offer banking services as defined by the  United States Department of Treasury. In addition, we do not assume any liability for the insurance policies  sold using our Services nor do we make any representations or warranties regarding when such insurance  is or is not effective. You are not required to accept any card brand as a condition of receiving the Services. 

In order to provide the Services, we must enter into agreements with Card Networks, ACH Networks,  Payment processors, acquiring banks, and other third-party service providers (“TPSPs”). As such, in  addition to registering and creating a Sub-Merchant account with epay3 (an “epay3 Sub-Merchant Account”), certain TPSPs may require that any Sub-Merchant that signs up for an epay3 Sub-Merchant  Account to use the Services also enter into an agreement directly with, and agree to the terms and conditions  stipulated by, such TPSP (collectively, “TPSP Agreements”). By accepting or otherwise agreeing to these  Payment Terms and utilizing our Services and/or those of a TPSP, you likewise will be required to agree to  applicable TPSP Agreements. If you fail to agree to any such TPSP Agreements, we may suspend or  terminate your epay3 Sub-Merchant Account. (see Section B – Registering for epay3.) 

  1. Our Software 

We provide the epay3 application to enable you and your customers to use the Services. 

3. Authorization for Handling of Funds 

By accepting these Payment Terms, you authorize us to receive, disburse, and hold funds on your behalf  when such funds from your card and/or ACH transactions settle from the Card Networks, ACH Networks,  and/or our TPSPs. You further authorize epay3 to instruct TPSPs on how your card and ACH transaction  settlement funds should be disbursed to you (such as by ACH or a credit transaction) and the timing of such  disbursements. Settlement funds will be held in a deposit account with a TPSP pending disbursement of  the fundsto you in accordance with these Payment Terms. You agree that you are not entitled to any interest  or other compensation associated with the settlement funds held by a TPSP pending settlement to your  designated bank settlement account (“Bank Account”), that you have no right to direct the TPSP deposit  account holding the settlement funds, and that you may not assign any interest in the TPSP deposit account.  We may periodically make available to you information on the epay3 management dashboard regarding anticipated settlement amounts received on your behalf from the Card Networks, ACH Networks, and/or our  TPSPs that are being held pending settlement. This settlement information does not constitute a deposit or  other obligation of epay3 or a TPSP to you. This settlement information reflected on the epay3 management  dashboard is for reporting and informational purposes only, and you are not entitled to, and have no  ownership or other rights in settlement funds, until such funds are credited to your Bank Account. Your  authorizations set forth herein will remain in full force and effect until your epay3 Sub-Merchant Account  is closed or terminated. 

  1. Payment Methods 

epay3 will only process transactions that have been authorized by the applicable Card Network, card issuer,  ACH Network, or TPSP providing transaction services. epay3 does not guarantee or assume any liability  for transactions authorized and completed which may later be subject to Reversal or Chargeback, as those  terms are defined below, or which were later determined to be fraudulent, provided epay3 reasonably  complied with these Payment Terms. You are responsible for all Reversal or Chargeback transactions,  regardless of the reason for, or timing of, the Reversal or Chargeback. Epay3 may add or remove one or  more payment mediums and supported payment cards at any time. If we do so, we will use reasonable  efforts to give you prior notice of the removal. 

  1. Payout Schedule 

Payout schedule refers to the time it takes for us to initiate a transfer to your designated Bank Account of  settlement funds arising from transactions processed through the Services. Once your Bank Account  information has been reviewed, epay3 will initiate transfer of settlement funds (net of Fees, Chargebacks,  Reversals, and other funds owed to us for any reason) the terms of which will be made available to you  when you log into to your epay3 management dashboard. The settlement funds should normally be credited  to your Bank Account within 1-2 days of us initiating the payout. We are not responsible for any action  taken by the institution holding your Bank Account that may result in some or all of the funds not being  credited to your Bank Account or not being made available to you or any delays on the part of the institution  holding your Bank Account. You can contact epay3 to inquire about changing the timing of your payout  schedule. Upon submitting a request, you will be informed of the process and requirements for epay3 to  review your payout schedule. 

We reserve the right to change the payout schedule or suspend payouts to your Bank Account should we  determine it is necessary due to pending disputes, excessive or anticipated excessive Chargebacks,  Reversals, returns, or refunds, or other suspicious activity associated with your use of the Services, or if  required by law or court order. 

  1. epay3 Fees 

You agree to pay the fees (“Fees”) assessed by us to you for providing the Services described in these  Payment Terms. These Fees will be calculated pursuant to your Fee Schedule [available on epay3  dashboard] and incorporated into these Payment Terms by reference. We reserve the right to revise our  Fees at any time and will use reasonable efforts to provide you with a thirty (30) day notice period. 

You acknowledge that you are also responsible for any fees, costs, expenses, penalties, or fines imposed on  epay3 or directly to you by any of our TPSPs or financial institution as a result of your activities. 

  1. Customer Service 

Subject to the disclaimers set forth herein, we will provide you with customer service to resolve any issues  relating to your epay3 Sub-Merchant Account, your card and/or ACH payment processing, your use of our  software, and the distribution of funds to your Bank Account. However, you, and you alone, are responsible  for providing service to your customers for any and all issues, including but not limited to issues arising  from the processing of customers’ cards and/or ACH payments through the Services. 

  1. Taxes 

It is your responsibility to determine what, if any, taxes apply to the sale of your products and services and/or the payments you receive in connection with your use of the Services (“Taxes”). It is solely your  responsibility to assess, collect, report, or remit the correct tax to the proper tax authority. We are not  obligated to, nor will we determine whether Taxes apply, or calculate, collect, report, or remit any Taxes to  any tax authority arising from any transaction. You acknowledge that we may make certain reports to tax  authorities regarding transactions that we process and merchants to which we provide card and/or ACH  payment services. 

Pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code, merchant acquiring entities and third-party settlement organizations  are required to file an information return with the IRS for each calendar year, reporting all payment card  transactions and third-party network transactions with merchants occurring in that calendar year. You  acknowledge that we will report to the Internal Revenue Service the total amount of the payments you  receive each calendar year as required by law. 

  1. Your Data and Network Security Obligations 

You are fully responsible for the security of data on your site or otherwise in your possession. You agree  to comply with all applicable international, state and federal laws and rules in connection with your  collection, security and dissemination of any personal, financial, card, ACH, or transaction information  (defined as “Data”) on your site. You agree that at all times, you shall be compliant with the Payment Card  Industry Data Security Standards (“PCI-DSS”) and the Payment Application Data Security Standards (“PA 

DSS”), as applicable. The steps you will need to take to comply with PCI-DSS and PA-DSS when using  the Services will vary based on your implementation. If we believe it is necessary based on your  implementation of the Services, and if we request it of you, you will promptly provide us with  documentation evidencing your compliance with PCI-DSS and/or PA-DSS. You also agree that you will  use only PCI-compliant service providers in connection with the storage, or transmission of Data defined  as a card/account holder’s account number, expiration date, and CVV2. You must not store CVV2 Data at  any time. Information on the PCI-DSS can be found on the PCI Council’s website. It is your responsibility  to comply with these standards. 

  1. epay3 Data Security and Fraud Controls 

By providing you with the Services, epay3 is not a “data processor” or “processor” as such term is defined  by any international, state, or federal law. To the extent it may be determined that epay3 plays any role in  collecting, processing, storing, or disseminating personally identifiable information (“PII”), epay3 will use  commercially reasonable efforts to implement and maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and  physical procedures to protect Data and PII regarding you and your customers that may be stored in our  servers from unauthorized access and accidental loss or modification. However, we cannot guarantee that  unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat those measures or use such PII for improper purposes.  You acknowledge that, if applicable, you provide this PII regarding you and your customers at your own  risk. We recommend you review our Privacy Policy, which will help you understand how we collect, use  and safeguard the information you provide to us. 

Epay3 may provide or suggest security procedures and controls intended to reduce the risk to you of data  breach or fraud (“Security Controls”). These Security Controls may include processes or applications that  are developed by epay3 or by third parties. You agree to review all Security Controls and choose those that  are appropriate for your business to protect against unauthorized transactions and, if necessary, use other  procedures and controls not provided by us. Disabling or failing to properly use Security Controls increases your exposure to unauthorized transactions. Keep in mind that you are fully responsible for the use of lost  or stolen Data that is used to purchase products or services from your business. Epay3 will not be liable for  losses resulting from use of lost or stolen Data with the Services, even if epay3 provides you with suggested  Security Controls. 

You are also strictly responsible for establishing and maintaining commercially reasonable security measures to safeguard against unauthorized transmissions and network infections while interacting with or  using the Services. You agree and warrant that such procedures will include, but not be limited to, security  technology (e.g., secure webservers) that provides a minimum level of security equivalent to 128-bit RC4 encryption technology for the entry and transmission of card transactions and/or ACH Entries over the  Internet, and network security to safeguard account information and access from unauthorized parties. You  further agree and warrant that no individual will be allowed to initiate transactions and/or transfers of funds in  the absence of proper supervision and safeguards, and agrees to take reasonable steps to maintain the  confidentiality of the Security Controls and any passwords, codes, security devices, and related instructions  provided by epay3 or a TPSP in connection with the Security Controls provided to you. 

If you believe or suspect that any such information or instructions have become known or accessed by  unauthorized persons, you agree to notify epay3 immediately, followed by written confirmation. The  occurrence of unauthorized access will not affect the processing of any card transactions and/or ACH  transfers made in good faith by epay3 or any TPSP prior to receipt of such notification and within a  reasonable time period to prevent unauthorized transactions/transfers. If a card transaction and/or ACH  Entry (or request for cancellation or amendment thereof) received by epay3 purports to have been  transmitted or authorized by you, it will be deemed effective and you shall be obligated to pay epay3 the  amount of such card transaction and/or ACH Entry even though the card transaction and/or ACH Entry was  not authorized by you, provided that epay3 accepted the card transaction and/or ACH Entry in good faith  and acted in compliance with the security procedures with respect to such card transaction and/or ACH  Entry. In the event of any unauthorized instructions, you agree to cooperate and to provide such information  as we may reasonably request to investigate and recover any resulting loss. 

  1. Audit Right 

If we believe that a security breach or compromise of Data has occurred, we may require you to have a  third-party auditor that is approved by us conduct a security audit of your systems and facilities and issue a  report to be provided to us and the TPSP. 

  1. Confidentiality 

You and epay3 hereby represent and acknowledge to each other that in the course of the performance of  their respective obligations, each party may make available to the other party certain confidential  information pertaining to each party’s business and operations (“Confidential Information”). Confidential  Information includes, but is not limited to, credit, debit or other payment cardholder information, software,  pricing, methods, policies, applications, policy forms, underwriting criteria and manuals, policy issuance  and rating software, rates, loss experience, financial analyses, personal information, and customer data,  whether disclosed before or after the effective date of these terms. Confidential Information shall not include  information that: (i) at the time of disclosure is generally available to the public; (ii) has been provided to  the recipient of the other party’s Confidential Information (the “Receiving Party”) by another party not  bound by a confidentiality agreement; (iii) relates to a request of auditors or any regulatory authority responsible for the regulation of either party; or (iv) are disclosed pursuant to the subpoena power or order  of any court, tribunal, regulatory authority, or other body so empowered; provided that such disclosure is limited to the purpose for which it is intended and reasonable measures will be taken to ensure that the confidential nature of documents or information will be maintained. The parties hereby agree, as a condition  to being provided the Confidential Information, that neither party will use any Confidential Information  except in connection with the performance of duties hereunder and that the Receiving Party shall protect and safeguard the other party’s (“Disclosing Party”) Confidential Information with at least the same degree  of care used to protect its own Confidential Information, but in no event less than a commercially reasonable  degree of care. The parties agree not to disclose any Confidential Information to anyone other than  employees, officers and directors of such party, that have a need to know, and to cause all such persons to 

abide by these Payment Terms. Upon termination of these Payment Terms or the request of the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party shall promptly return all copies of all Confidential Information furnished by the Disclosing Party, and shall promptly destroy all other Confidential Information, including all copies of notes, analyses, compilations, studies, or other physical or electronic documents created by the Receiving Party,  

and certify in writing to the Disclosing Party that such copies have been destroyed. The provisions of this section shall survive termination of these Payment Terms. Breach of this section may be grounds for  immediate termination by the Disclosing Party.

You acknowledge that you have  received, read in full, and agree with the terms of our Privacy Policy, linked to and incorporated into these  Payment Terms by reference, which contains your consent to our collection, use, retention, and disclosure  of personal information as well as other matters. The Privacy Policy also explains how and for what  purposes we collect, use, retain, disclose, and safeguard the information you provide to us. You also  acknowledge that we or our payment processor is required to report your business name and the name of  your principals to the MATCH listing maintained by MasterCard and accessed and updated by Visa and  American Express or to the Consortium Merchant Negative File maintained by Discover, if applicable,  pursuant to the requirements of the Network Rules (as defined below, in Section A.16).

You represent to epay3 that you are and will continue to be in compliance with all applicable privacy laws.  You further represent that you have obtained all necessary rights and consents under applicable law to  disclose to epay3 – or allow epay3 to collect, use, retain, and disclose – any Data that you provide to us or  authorize us to collect, including information that we may collect directly from your end users via cookies  or other means. As between you and epay3, you are solely responsible for disclosing to your customers that  epay3 is processing Online Payments for you and obtaining Data from such customers. 

If you receive information about others, including cardholders, through the use of the Services, you must  keep such information confidential and may only use it in connection with the Services. You may not  disclose card or other information about others to any third party, other than in connection with processing  a card or ACH transaction requested by your customer under the Services and in a manner consistent with  PCI-DSS and applicable law. 

  1. Restricted Use 

You are required to obey all laws, rules, and regulations applicable to your use of the Services (for example,  those governing financial services, consumer protections, privacy, unfair competition, anti-discrimination,  or false advertising).

In certain circumstances we may determine that the establishment of a reserve  amount is necessary to provide the Services, including the full amount of the funds received for your  transaction, to be held for a period of time, or that additional amounts be held in reserve. The reserve amount  may include (i) any funds payouts made or due to you for transactions submitted to the Services, or (ii)  amounts available in your Bank Account by means of ACH debit to that Bank Account, or (iii) other sources  of funds associated with your epay3 Account.

epay3 may use your information to apply for card merchant acquiring accounts on your behalf with certain  Card Networks and/or TPSPs, and you hereby authorize us to do so. If we, a Card Network, or other TPSP  request that you do so, you will also be required to enter into a direct agreement with such Card Network  or other TPSP in addition to these Payment Terms. In that case, unless you expressly inform us in writing  otherwise, you hereby authorize epay3 to continue to manage your Card Network and/or other TPSP  account on your behalf and to cause funds settled from Card Network and/or other TPSP transactions to be  deposited to an omnibus bank account designated by epay3 for your benefit. 

After we have collected and verified all your information, epay3 will review your account and determine if  you are eligible to use the Services. epay3 may also share your information with our TPSPs, each of which  may also make a determination regarding your eligibility. epay3 reserves the right to not only request  additional information to assess your busines srisk, but also to deny your eligibility for an account in epay3’s  sole discretion for any reason. We will notify you once your account has been either approved or deemed  ineligible for use of the Services.

You acknowledge that such information  retrieved may include your address history, credit history, and other data about you. epay3 may periodically update this information to determine whether you continue to meet our eligibility requirements.

  1. Additional Authorizations 

Notwithstanding any other grant or authorization provided for in these Payment Terms, by registering with  epay3 and using the Services, you explicitly authorize and/or consent as follows: (a) for a period of two (2) years, or longer if required under the NACHA Rules, to grant to epay3 such consents and/or  authorizations as required under the NACHA Rules; (b) to authorize TPSPs to share with epay3 information  relating to you, including, without limitation, transaction details, and business or personal information; (c)  to authorize epay3 to add or modify via a TPSPs’ system, the Bank Account information associated with  your settlement account with the TPSP; (d) to authorize TPSPs and their agents to transfer and process any  Data relating to you or your customers (including personal Data), as required for the performance of their  obligations to you; (e) to authorize epay3 to serve as your authorized representative towards any use of  TPSP services, and as such to authorize epay3 to access and use the Data retained by such TPSPs with  respect to your use of TPSP services; (f) to grant to epay3 the right to instruct TPSPs to withhold Fees (as  defined in below) from your funds; and (g) to authorize us and our TPSP to publish your, and any customer  service information, in any media from time to time for the benefit of our customers and/or our TPSPs’  customers. 

C. PROCESSING CARD TRANSACTIONS AND RECEIVING YOUR FUNDS 

1. Processing Card Transactions 

As used herein, “Chargeback” means a request that a buyer customer files directly with his or her card  company or card issuing bank to invalidate a processed payment. “Claim” means a challenge to a payment  that you or a buyer customer files directly with epay3. “Reversal” means an event whereby epay3 reverses  the settlement of funds from a processed card transaction that you received because: (a) the card transaction  is invalidated by the card issuer; (b) the settlement funds were sent to you in error by (i) epay3 or our TPSPs, (ii) the processors, suppliers or licensors of epay3 or our TPSPs, or (iii) any of the respective affiliates,  agents, directors and employees of any of the entities listed in (i) or (ii) above; (c) the sender of the payment did not have authorization to send the payment (e.g. if the buyer/sender used a card that did not belong to  the buyer/sender); (d) you received a payment for activities that violated these Payment Terms, any TPSP  Agreement, or any other epay3 agreement or terms; or (e) epay3 decided a Claim against you. 

You agree that you will honor all eligible cards presented for payment by your customers for your products  and services in accordance with the Network Rules, these Payment Terms and any operating guides that we  may provide you from time to time. You agree that you will obtain an authorization from the Card Networks  for each card transaction, as required under the Network Rules, and will not submit a card transaction for  settlement where there is a negative authorization, or the card is otherwise expired. You acknowledge that  the existence of an affirmative authorization from us or the Card Networks does not mean that a particular  card transaction will not be subject to a Chargeback, Reversal, or Claim at a later date. 

epay3 will provide a receipt to the customer at the conclusion of the purchase transaction that includes all  information required under Network Rules and applicable law. We may offer you the ability to have funds  settled to your Bank Account in a currency different from the one in which you accepted payment from a  customer (“Multi-Currency Processing”). To use this service, you must provide us with a valid Bank Account for each currency for which you request settlement, based on our list of available settlement  currencies. We may add or remove currencies from our list of available settlement currencies at any time. 

If you use Multi-Currency Processing, we will identify at the time of charge, the conversion rate that will  apply to the charge. If you refund a charge, the conversion rate that will apply will be the rate in effect at  the time of the refund, not the charge. By submitting a charge or refund for processing you will be deemed to have accepted the rate. You may choose not to use the Multi- Currency Processing service at any time. 

You may also change the Bank Account information or other settings associated with your use of Multi Currency Processing, but any such changes will only affect subsequent charges. 

  1. Payouts and Transaction History 

We will pay out funds settling from the Card Networks to your designated Bank Account you provided  when establishing your epay3 Sub-Merchant Account in the amounts actually received (less our Fees, as  defined below) for card transactions submitted to our Services. Alternatively, we may deposit the full  amount in your Bank Account and then debit your Bank Account for an aggregate of transaction and service  fees on a periodic basis. The payouts and debits will be made to and from this Bank Account. This Bank  Account must be located at bank branch in the United States and held in the name of the business. You are  responsible for the accuracy and correctness of information regarding your Bank Account. Funds for any  given transaction will not be transferred to your Bank Account until the transaction is deemed complete.  Transactions will be deemed complete when we have received funds settling from the Card Networks and  when we or our TPSPs have accepted such funds. The actual timing of the transfers to your Bank Account  of the settling funds will be subject to the Payout Schedule (as defined below). 

After each payout of card settlement funds to your Bank Account, we will update information in your epay3  Sub-Merchant Account to reflect settlement. Information regarding your card transactions processed and  settled with the Services (“Transaction History”) will be available to you when you log into to our website  using your epay3 Sub-Merchant Account. We provide a minimum of one (1) year of Transaction History  on our website. Except as required by law, you are solely responsible for compiling and retaining permanent  records of all transactions and other Data associated with your epay3 Sub-Merchant Account, your  Transaction History, and your use of the Services. epay3 is not responsible for maintaining Transaction  History or other records in a manner consistent with your record retention obligations; provided, however,  you shall provide epay3 with access to such Transaction History, in a timely manner and at your expense,  as reasonably requested by epay3 in order to comply with epay3’s obligations under these Payment Terms  and any other terms and agreements between the parties. You also grant us permission to share records or  other information required with the cardholder, the cardholder’s financial institution, and your financial  institution to help resolve any disputes. 

  1. Suspension and Termination 

In addition to the term and termination rights set forth in Section E.4 and elsewhere in these Payment Terms, either party may terminate any or all Services in accordance with their rights under these Payment Terms,  including the card transaction processing and Multi-Currency Processing portions of the Services. epay3  may suspend or terminate your use of the card transaction processing and Multi-Currency Processing  portions of the Services for violation of these Payment Terms, any TPSP Agreement, any other epay3  agreement or terms, NACHA Rules, Network Rules, any other applicable law, rule, or regulation, or for  any other reason including, without limitation, acceptable limits for card transaction refunds, returns,  Reversals and/or Chargebacks. epay3 may also terminate or suspend the card transaction processing and  Multi-Currency Processing portions of the Services if a Card Network and/or any TPSP requires such  suspension or termination. 

  1. Reconciliations and Errors 

Your Transaction History will be available to you when you log into the epay3 management dashboard. Except as required by law, you are solely responsible for reconciling your Transaction History with your  actual card payment transactions. You agree to notify us of any discrepancies arising from such reconciliation  and verification. We will investigate any reported discrepancies and attempt to rectify any errors that you or  we discover. In the event epay3 determines that you are owed money as a result of the discrepancy, we will  transfer funds to your Bank Account in the next scheduled payout under the Payout Schedule. Your failure to notify us of an error or discrepancy in your Transaction History within sixty (60) days of when it first appears  on your Transaction History will be deemed a waiver of any right to amounts owed to you in connection with  any such error or discrepancy in processing your card payments. 

If you submit or cause us to process transactions erroneously, you agree to contact us immediately. We will  investigate any reported errors and attempt to rectify any errors that you or we discover by crediting or  debiting your Bank Account as appropriate, and you agree to provide us with all information in your  possession, in a timely manner and at your expense, regarding such errors in order for us to complete an  investigation. For any error or reconciliation resulting in funds owed to epay3, you are immediately liable  to epay3 for the full amount of the reconciliation or error plus any associated fees, costs, expenses, fines,  or penalties (including those assessed by our TPSPs). Epay3 will deduct the reconciliation or error amount (including any applicable any associated fees, costs, expenses, fines, or penalties (including those assessed  by our TPSPs)) from settlement funds owed to you from the processing of other transactions. If the  settlement amounts from such other transactions are not sufficient to satisfy the foregoing obligations to us,  you agree that epay3 may exercise such rights as are provided in Section C.9 to recover any such outstanding  obligations. 

You are solely responsible for accepting and processing reconciliations and errors related to your products  and services; epay3 has no responsibility or obligation for processing such reconciliations and errors. You  may also be responsible for any fees incurred by epay3 to resolve any errors. You also grant us permission  to share records or other information required with the cardholder, the cardholder’s financial institution, and your financial institution to help resolve any disputes. Your failure to notify us of a processing error within  thirty (30) days of when it first appears on your electronic Transaction History or your failure to provide us 

with requested information will be deemed a waiver of any right to amounts owed to you.

5. Refunds and Returns 

By accepting these Payment Terms, you agree to submit any and all refunds and adjustments for returns of  your products and services through the epay3 Services to the cardholder’s card in accordance with the terms  of these Payment Terms and Network Rules. Network Rules require that you will: (a) maintain a fair return,  cancellation, or adjustment policy; (b) disclose your return or cancellation policy to customers at the time  of purchase; (c) not give cash refunds to a customer in connection with a card sale, unless required by law;  and (d) not accept cash or any other item of value for preparing a card sale refund. 

Full refunds must be for the exact dollar amount of the original transaction including tax, handling charges,  and other. The refund amount may not exceed the original sale amount except by an amount equal to any  reimbursements to customer for postage costs incurred for product returns. You will use best efforts to  process all refunds within sixty (60) days after the original transaction date, and you acknowledge that refunds processed after that time may not be capable of being processed. 

For processed refunds, you are immediately liable to epay3 for the full amount of the refund plus any  associated Fees, costs, expenses, fines, or penalties (including those assessed by our TPSPs). Epay3 will  deduct the refund amount (including any applicable any associated Fees, costs, expenses, fines, or penalties  (including those assessed by our TPSPs)) from settlement funds owed to you from the processing of other  transactions. If the settlement amounts from such other transactions are not sufficient to satisfy the  foregoing obligations to us, you agree that epay3 may exercise such rights as are provided in Section C.9 to recover any such outstanding obligations. 

You are solely responsible for accepting and processing returns of your products and services; epay3 has  no responsibility or obligation for processing such returns. 

  1. Chargebacks 

A Chargeback is typically caused when a customer disputes a charge that appears on their bill. A  Chargeback may result in the Reversal of a transaction, with the amount charged back to you. You can be  assessed Chargebacks for: (a) customer disputes; (b) unauthorized or improperly authorized transactions; I transactions that do not comply with Network Rules, these Payment Terms, any TPSP Agreement, or any  other epay3 agreement or terms; (d) transactions that are allegedly unlawful (e.g. as a result of fraud,  phishing, or other illegal activity) or suspicious; I(e) any Reversals for any reason by our TPSPs or the  cardholder’s bank. 

When a Chargeback is issued, you are immediately liable to epay3 for the full amount of the Chargeback plus any associated Fees, costs, expenses, fines, or penalties(including those assessed by our TPSPs). epay3  will deduct the Chargeback amount (including any applicable any associated Fees, costs, expenses, fines, or  penalties (including those assessed by our TPSPs)) from settlement funds owed to you from the processing  of other transactions. If the settlement amounts from such other transactions are not sufficient to satisfy the  foregoing obligations to us, you agree that epay3 may exercise such rights as are provided in Section C.9 to  recover any such outstanding obligations. 

Further, if we reasonably believe that a Chargeback is likely with respect to any transaction, we may  withhold the amount of the potential Chargeback from payments otherwise due to you under these Payment  Terms until such time that: (i) a Chargeback is assessed due to a customer’s complaint, in which case we  will retain the funds; (ii) the period of time under applicable law or regulation by which the customer may  dispute that the transaction has expired; or (iii) we determine that a Chargeback on the transaction will not  occur. 

  1. Contesting your Chargebacks 

You or epay3 may elect to contest Chargebacks assessed to your epay3 Sub-Merchant Account. epay3 may  provide you with assistance including notifications and software to help contest your Chargebacks. We do  not assume any liability for our role or assistance in contesting Chargebacks. 

You agree to provide us with the necessary information, in a timely manner and at your expense, to  investigate or help resolve any Chargeback. You also grant us permission to share records or other  information required with the cardholder, the cardholder’s financial institution, and your financial  institution to help resolve any disputes. You acknowledge that your failure to provide us with complete and  accurate information in a timely manner may result in an irreversible Chargeback being assessed. 

If the cardholder’s issuing bank or our TPSPs do not resolve a dispute in your favor, we may recover the  Chargeback amount and any associated fees from you as described in these Payment Terms. 

We reserve the right, upon notice to you, to charge a Fee for mediating or investigating Chargeback disputes. 

8. Excessive Chargebacks 

At any point, epay3 or our TPSPs may determine that you are incurring excessive Chargebacks. Excessive  Chargebacks may result in additional fees, penalties, or fines. Excessive Chargebacks may also result in:

(a) additional controls and restrictions to your use of the epay3 Services, including without limitation, (i)  establishment, or increases in the required funding, of reserve amounts, (ii) increases to your applicable  Fees, or (iii) delays in your Payout Schedule; or (b) possible suspension or termination of your epay3 Sub Merchant Account and access to the Services. Our TPSPs may also place additional controls or restrictions  as part of their own monitoring programs for merchants with excessive Chargebacks. 

  1. Collection and Recovery Rights 

To the extent permitted by law, we may collect any obligations you or any of your affiliates, subsidiaries,  predecessors, successors, assigns, and/or owners who own 25% or more of your business, owe us under these  Payment Terms by deducting the corresponding amounts from funds payable to you arising from the  settlement of transactions. Fees, costs, expenses, fines, or penalties (including those assessed by our TPSPs) 

associated with a particular transaction may be assessed at the time such transaction is processed and will be first deducted from the funds received for such transactions. If the settlement amounts from any particular transaction are not sufficient to meet your current and past obligations to us, epay3 may seek to recover any  outstanding amounts that you owe us by: (a) deducting the such amounts from funds payable to you arising from the settlement of other transactions; (b) charging or debiting such amounts to the credit card or Bank  

Account card registered in your epay3 Sub-Merchant Account; (c) deducting such amounts from any reserve amounts established by us or aTPSP; and/or(d) otherwise setting offsuch amounts against any amounts owed  to you by us. If the amounts recovered following our exercise of any, or all, of the foregoing remedies are insufficient to satisfy your liability to epay3, you agree to pay epay3 any outstanding amount owed to us immediately upon demand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, epay3 shall be under no obligation to exercise any, or all, of the remedies described in Sections C.9(a)–(d) and may instead issue a demand for the full  

amount of your outstanding obligations. Your failure to fully pay such amounts upon demand will be a  breach of these Payment Terms, and nothing contained in this Section C.9 shall in any way limit, or be interpreted as a waiver of, any other right that epay3may have under Section E, at law, or in equity to recover  any obligation you owe to epay3. You will be liable to us for all costs associated with collection in addition to the amount owed, including, without limitation attorneys’ fees and expenses, costs of any arbitration or  court proceeding, collection agency fees, and any applicable interest. 

  1. Security Interest; Guarantee 

You, and any of your direct affiliates, subsidiaries, predecessors, successors, assigns and/or owners who own  25% or more of your business, grant us a lien and security interest in any reserve amounts, all card  transactions (including future card transactions), any rights to receive credits or payments under these  Payment Terms, and all deposits and other property of you possessed or maintained by us on your behalf.  You will execute, deliver, and pay the costs and expenses for any documents we request to create, perfect,  maintain, and enforce this security interest.

promulgated and programs administered by OFAC and FinCEN, that no such IAT Entry violates United  States law, including, but not limited to, rules promulgated and programs administered by OFAC and  FinCEN, that neither TPS nor you are acting on behalf of or transmitting funds to any party subject to  OFAC sanctions and that such IAT Entry complies with the laws and payment system rules of the  receiving country. You acknowledge that ODFI and other parties must comply with the Rules and  United States law for IAT Entries. The performance by each of these parties, including ODFI, of obligations with respect to IAT Entries may cause delays in processing, settlement, and/or availability  of IAT Entries. You waive and release ODFI from any liability or obligation, including, but not limited  to, funds availability obligations, caused by or arising out of any such delay associated with IAT Entries. 

You understand that ODFI has the right to: (i) review, monitor, and audit Company’s ACH transactions,  processes, and procedures for compliance with this Agreement and the Rules; (ii) restrict or limit the amount or type of ACH Entries processed for you; and (iii) suspend, discontinue, or terminate ACH  processing based on its assessment of the risk posed to the ODFI and/or the breach or termination of its agreement with TPS. 

You are responsible for the results of using a TPS, the services, and for the accuracy and adequacy of  the data you or TPS provides. You authorize ODFI to act on any instruction which has been or  reasonably appears to have been sent by TPS or you, including but not limited to funds transfer  instructions. ODFI is not obliged to take any further steps to confirm or authenticate such instructions  and will act on them without getting further confirmation. You understand that if it or the TPS provides  ODFI with incorrect information or if there is any error in the instruction it accepts full responsibility  for losses resulting from any of the errors, duplication, ambiguities, or fraud in the information that was  provided to ODFI. ODFI 

is not responsible to third parties (such as, but not limited to, third party service providers and the third  parties to whom wire or ACH debit or credits are transmitted hereunder) and you shall defend,  indemnify, and hold ODFI harmless from, the actions or omissions of TPS, or any claim made against  ODFI arising out of your use of the services, breach of this Agreement, or breach of any warranty under  the Rules. IN NO EVENT WILL ODFI BE LIABLE OR RESPONSIBLE FOR, AND TPS AND YOU BEAR ALL RISK ASSOCIATED WITH, FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONVERSION AND ANY  GAINS AND LOSSES RESULTING FROM THE CONVERSION OF CURRENCIES IN 

CONNECTION WITH ANY ENTRY. 

This Attachment shall survive the termination of the agreement between TPS and ODFI regarding those  Customer Entries made prior to termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in the  Agreement between TPS and you, ODFI shall be considered an intended beneficiary of this  Acknowledgment and is entitled to enforce its terms. This Acknowledgment is agreed to in  consideration of ODFI’s agreement to serve as ODFI. You waive notice of the ODFI’s acceptance of  this Acknowledgment.
