PaymentKit and Merchant may be referred to individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.” For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree to these Terms of Service through their undersigned authorized representatives. The persons signing or accepting this Agreement on behalf of a Party each represents that they have the authority to bind such Party to this Agreement.

Subject to the terms described herein, Merchant is hereby granted a nonexclusive right during the Term (as defined below) to use PaymentKit’s online products and/or services, as well as any add-on services and professional services (together, the “Service” or “Services”), each as set forth on the attached Order Form and any other Order Form subsequently executed by the Parties.
PaymentKit will provide the Service in accordance with the Service Level Agreement available at https://PaymentKit.com/legal/sla/.
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, PaymentKit will perform the Professional Services as set forth on (a) the Order Form, or (b) a separate, mutually executed Statement of Work (“SOW”), as applicable.
PaymentKit may make changes to the Service in order to (i) update, maintain, or improve the delivery, performance, market competitiveness, or cost efficiency of the Service, or (ii) to comply with applicable law. PaymentKit shall provide Merchant with at least sixty (60) days advance written notice in the event of any material degradation of the Service. Merchant acknowledges that the operation of the Service may from time to time encounter technical or other problems and may not continue uninterrupted or without technical or other errors and, subject to the Service Level Agreement, PaymentKit will not be responsible to Merchant or others for any such interruptions, errors or problems or a discontinuance of the Service. PaymentKit has no obligation to continue producing or releasing new versions of the Service.

This Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and will continue through the initial term set forth in the Order Form or any order for Services between the Parties (“Initial Term”), unless earlier terminated as set forth herein. Thereafter, unless otherwise set forth on the applicable Order Form, this Agreement will automatically renew for successive one-year terms (each, a “Renewal Term,” and together with the Initial Term, the “Term”), unless either Party gives notice of non-renewal to the other Party at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the Initial Term or the then-current Renewal Term, as applicable. Either Party may terminate this Agreement on thirty (30) days’ notice if the other Party materially breaches this Agreement and does not cure such breach within such notice period. Either Party may terminate this Agreement without notice (i) upon the institution by or against the other Party of insolvency, receivership or bankruptcy proceedings (provided that if such proceedings are involuntary, they are not dismissed within one-hundred twenty (120) days); (ii) upon the other Party’s making an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (iii) upon the other Party’s dissolution or ceasing to do business without a successor.

Merchant agrees to use the Service only through Merchant’s website or software application that Merchant owns and controls (the "Site"), and to implement the Service on the Site in accordance with PaymentKit’s documentation. PaymentKit may rate limit the Service in accordance with PaymentKit’s documentation. Such suspension or limitation will remain in effect until Merchant corrects any issues specified by PaymentKit and a rate limitation will not relieve Merchant of Merchant’s payment obligations under the Agreement.
Merchant agrees to provide PaymentKit with current, complete and accurate registration information as prompted by the Service registration process and to maintain and properly update such information (“Registration Data”). If Merchant is using the Service to conduct ACH transfers, Merchant must set up an account relationship with PaymentKit’s approved ACH processor(s). In using the Service, the Merchant will set up and maintain an account that is capable of receiving funds through a merchant bank account (“Merchant Bank Account”). Merchant authorizes PaymentKit to confirm that the Merchant Bank Account is and remains in good standing with a financial institution.
Merchant further agrees that, in providing Registration Data, Merchant will not knowingly omit or misrepresent any material facts or information and that Merchant will promptly enter corrected or updated Registration Data via the Service, or otherwise advise PaymentKit promptly in writing of any such changes or updates. Merchant further consents and authorizes PaymentKit to verify Merchant’s Registration Data as required for Merchant’s use of and access to the Service. Once Merchant subscribes to the Service, Merchant will receive a unique user ID and password in connection with Merchant’s account (collectively referred to herein as “IDs”). Merchant agrees that it will not allow another person to use its IDs to access and use the Service under any circumstances. Merchant is solely and entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of Merchant’s IDs and for any charges, damages, liabilities or losses incurred or suffered as a result of Merchant’s failure to do so. PaymentKit are not liable for any harm caused by or related to the theft of Merchant’s IDs, Merchant’s disclosure of its IDs, or Merchant’s authorization to allow another person to access and use the Service using its IDs. Furthermore, Merchant is solely and entirely responsible for any and all activities that occur under Merchant’s account including any charges incurred relating to the Service. Merchant agrees to immediately notify PaymentKit of any unauthorized use of its account or any other breach of security known to Merchant. Merchant acknowledges that the complete privacy of its data and messages transmitted while using the Service cannot be guaranteed.
PaymentKit is not liable for any losses relating to chargebacks, fraudulent charges or other actions by Merchant or Merchant’s customers that are deceptive, fraudulent or otherwise invalid (“Fraudulent Actions”). By using the Service, Merchant hereby releases PaymentKit from any liability arising from Fraudulent Actions. Merchant will also promptly notify PaymentKit of any Fraudulent Actions which may affect the Service. PaymentKit reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate Merchant’s account if Merchant engages in, or permits any other user or customer to engage in, Fraudulent Actions.

Unless otherwise set forth on the Order Form, Merchant agrees to pay the fees as set forth on the applicable Order Form and all SOWs (the “Fees”) within thirty (30) days of the invoice date. Any past-due amounts payable by Merchant hereunder will bear interest at a rate of 1.5% per month (or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, whichever is less). Without limiting any remedy available to PaymentKit except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all payment obligations are non-cancelable and nonrefundable. If Merchant fails to pay any fees due hereunder, PaymentKit may suspend Merchant’s access to the Service. All Fees are exclusive of taxes and other fees which may be imposed on PaymentKit or Merchant for the provision or use of the Service. Merchant will be responsible for such taxes and other fees. Tax exempt status will be granted to Merchant upon presentation of a satisfactory certificate of exemption. Merchant is responsible for its own Merchant Bank Account fees in addition to the Fees set forth hereunder. PaymentKit may help Merchant apply for a Merchant Bank Account, or Merchant may bring an existing Merchant Bank Account, but any fees associated with such Merchant Bank Account are Merchant’s responsibility and are not included in PaymentKit’s fees. All fees associated with Merchant’s chosen payment gateway are also separate and not included in PaymentKit’s fees.

However, "Confidential Information" will not include any information which (a) is in the public domain through no fault of receiving Party; (b) was properly known to receiving Party, without restriction, prior to disclosure by the disclosing Party; (c) was properly disclosed to receiving Party, without restriction, by another person with the legal authority to do so; or (d) is independently developed by the receiving Party without use of or reference to the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.

However, either Party may disclose Confidential Information (a) to its employees, officers, directors, attorneys, auditors, financial advisors and other representatives who have a need to know and are legally bound to keep such information confidential by confidentiality obligations consistent with those of this Agreement; and (b) as required by law (in which case the receiving Party will provide the disclosing Party with prior written notification thereof, will provide the disclosing Party with the opportunity to contest such disclosure, and will use its reasonable efforts to minimize such disclosure to the extent permitted by applicable law. Neither Party will disclose the terms of this Agreement to any third party, except that either Party may confidentially disclose such terms to actual or potential lenders, investors or acquirers. Each Party agrees to exercise due care in protecting the Confidential Information from unauthorized use and disclosure. In the event of actual or threatened breach of the provisions of this Section or the License Restrictions, the non-breaching Party will be entitled to seek immediate injunctive and other equitable relief, without waiving any other rights or remedies available to it. Each Party will promptly notify the other in writing if it becomes aware of any violations of the confidentiality obligations set forth in this Agreement.

PaymentKit will indemnify, defend and hold Merchant (and Merchant’s officers, directors, consultants and employees) harmless from and against any and all costs, liabilities, damages or other amounts actually paid or payable to unaffiliated third parties (including but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees) in connection with any third party claim (collectively, “Losses”) relating to any claim that the Service, as provided by PaymentKit to Merchant under this Agreement and used within the scope of this Agreement, infringes or misappropriates any known U.S. patent or copyright of any third party (a “Claim”).

The Parties’ respective indemnification obligations hereunder with respect to a particular claim will be conditioned upon (x) the Party seeking indemnification’s (“Indemnitee”) giving the other Party (the “Indemnitor”) prompt written notice of such claim (provided that any delay in giving notice will not relieve the Indemnitor of its indemnity obligations except to the extent that it is materially prejudiced by such delay); (y) the Indemnitor’s having the right to assume sole control over the defense and settlement of such claim (at its cost and expense); and (z) the Indemnitee’s providing the Indemnitor with reasonable information and assistance in connection with such defense and settlement (at the Indemnitor’s expense).

This Agreement (including any applicable Order Form(s)) constitutes the entire agreement between Merchant and PaymentKit and supersedes any and all previous agreements, written or oral, between Merchant and PaymentKit, including previous versions of this Agreement. This Agreement may only be modified or amended in a writing signed by authorized representatives of both Parties. Any notice required or permitted in this Agreement will be sent via email (and will be deemed to have been duly given upon receipt) (i) if to PaymentKit, at legal@PaymentKit.com or (ii) if to Merchant, at the email address that Merchant provides when registering its account. Either Party may update its email address for notice purposes via a notice delivered in accordance with this paragraph. Neither Party may assign or transfer its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the other Party’s prior written consent; provided that either Party may assign or transfer all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement without such consent to a successor-in-interest to all or substantially all of such Party’s assets, business or equity interests relating to this Agreement (whether effected by merger, acquisition, sale of assets, change of control or otherwise). PaymentKit may subcontract its obligations hereunder (provided that PaymentKit will at all times remain fully responsible for the performance of any subcontractor). The provisions of this Agreement are intended for the benefit of and are enforceable solely by the Parties hereto and nothing in this Agreement will be construed as giving any other person any right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision hereof. The Parties will be independent contractors under this Agreement and nothing herein will constitute either Party as the employer, employee, agent or representative of the other Party, or both Parties as joint venturers or partners for any purpose. Any failure of PaymentKit to enforce or exercise a right provided in these terms is not a waiver of that right. Should any provision of these terms be found invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be limited or deleted to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.
