Processing Agreement

This Payment Processing Agreement ("Payments Agreement") is entered into between the entity or sole proprietor identified in the Application ("Customer") and Payload, LLC dba Payload ("Payload") and is subject to the most recent version of the Payload Terms of Use available on the Website, as amended from time to time ("Terms of Use"). This Payments Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions that govern the payment processing services ("Payment Services") to be provided by Payload to Customer directly or through its TPSPs when made available by Payload and used by Customer. Payment Services are also subject to the terms and conditions of each schedule to this Payments Agreement that is applicable to the payment channels Customer elects to receive (each, a "Schedule"). This Payments Agreement and each Schedule that governs Payment Services utilized by Customer are Additional Terms (as defined in the Terms of Use) and make up a part of the overall Agreement between Customer and Payload and the Payment Services are Services as defined in the Terms of Use.

Customer has registered with Payload to receive Services, in accordance with and subject to the Terms of Use. Customer has submitted an Application to receive certain Services, including Payment Services, as described herein, and by its acceptance of the Application and grant of access to the Services, Payload agrees to provide Customer such Payment Services in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Payload and Customer agree as follows:

1. Definitions

All capitalized terms used but not defined in this Payments Agreement shall have the meanings given to them in Appendix A attached to this Payments Agreement, and if not defined in Appendix A then the meaning given in the Terms of Use.

2. Customer

Customer engages in the type of business described in the Application. Customer agrees that, during the term of the Agreement, it will not materially change its business or the method in which it markets or sells its goods and/or services from what is described in the Application without the prior written consent of Payload. If any information provided to Payload in the Application changes or becomes inaccurate, Customer must immediately notify Payload.

3. Bank Account

Customer will establish (if not already established) and maintain a Bank Account to: (a) as applicable, debit or credit Payments; and (b) debit fees and any other amounts due to Payload pursuant to the Agreement. Customer agrees to keep its Bank Account information up-to-date with Payload at all times. Failure to do so may result in Payments being misdirected, withheld, or returned. Payload shall in no event be liable for any Losses directly or indirectly resulting from incorrect Bank Account information. Any fees, interest expenses or other expenses with respect to the Bank Account will be the sole responsibility of Customer and will be paid directly by Customer. During the term of this Payments Agreement, and for no less than one (1) year thereafter, Customer will maintain a positive balance in the Bank Account at all times sufficient to accommodate all funding required by this Payments Agreement. Payload reserves the right to require that Customer maintain a minimum balance in the Bank Account in an amount to be reasonably determined by Payload. If there is, at any time, a deficit in the Bank Account, Customer shall immediately deposit funds into the Bank Account to cover the deficit or immediately pay such amounts directly to Payload. Customer agrees to reimburse Payload, on demand, for any Losses incurred by Payload, Processor or Bank as a result of insufficient funds in the Bank Account. Alternatively, if Payload has required the establishment of a Reserve Account, Payload may offset such amount against the Reserve Account in accordance with Section 8 (Security Interest; Reserve Account; Right of Setoff) of this Payments Agreement. Customer and Payload will mutually agree upon the provision of reporting and exchange of data as may be required by Payload to monitor and manage the activity relative to the Bank Account including, any transfers to and from the Bank Account.

4. Settlement Account

Payload has requested Bank to establish and maintain a Settlement Account in Bank’s name and tax identification number, which Bank may use to temporarily hold funds as a non-fiduciary custodian for the benefit of Customer (and Payload’s other customers). Customer hereby appoints Payload as its agent for the purpose of acting on Customer’s behalf with respect to the Settlement Account. Customer acknowledges that funds in the Settlement Account may be pooled and comingled with funds of other Payload customers or other Bank customers. Customer represents, warrants, acknowledges and agrees that: (a) Bank is the sole legal owner of the Settlement Account and all Settlement Account Funds (defined below), and the Customer has a beneficial ownership interest in the Settlement Account and its share of Settlement Account Funds within the Settlement Account; (b) Customer is not a signatory on the Settlement Account and shall not and cannot access the Settlement Account or any Settlement Account Funds (notwithstanding the fact that Bank may distribute funds from the Settlement Account to Customer, Payload or other designated third party recipients based on payment information provided to Bank by Customer (through Payload, as its agent); (c) Payload is the duly appointed agent of Customer to fulfill the purposes of this Payments Agreement; (d) Payload is a service provider to Customer and not a partner or co-venturer; (e) Customer is not a third party beneficiary of Payload’s agreement with Bank; (f) Bank does not owe Customer any duties of oversight of Payload or duty to inquire of Customer with respect to payment information given to Bank regarding the Settlement Account or payments from the Settlement Account. Customer understands that it is liable to Payload for payment, by final irrevocable funds, for any payment order given to and accepted by the Bank at Customer’s request, for payment from the Settlement Account. “Settlement Account Funds” means the total of: the Settlement Account balance (whether derived from provisional credits of final funds), and all “deposits in transit,” which means any amount which is in the process of being collected by the Bank or any of its affiliates, or transmitted to the Bank, or any of its affiliates, and intended to be directly or indirectly credited to the Settlement Account for use to fund any prior, current or subsequent payment from the Settlement Account, without regard to whether the payment is provisional or final. Customer agrees to be liable and responsible for any reversals, returns or chargebacks (“Disputed Amounts”) associated with its requested Payments, and authorizes Payload to instruct Bank to setoff the amount of such Disputed Amount against funds held in the Settlement Account, and if the balance of funds held for the benefit Customer in the Settlement Account is insufficient to cover the Disputed Amount, Customer will immediately, upon request from Payload, transfer funds to the Settlement Account to be credited to Payload in the Disputed Amount.

5. Payload Obligations

Customer acknowledges that, in connection with the Settlement Account, Payload implements and maintains appropriate procedures to: (a) verify the identity of its customers; (b) prevent and detect money laundering and terrorist financing; (c) prevent violations of sanctions and controls laws administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) of the U.S. Department of Treasury or by the Bureau of Export Administration, and (d) prevent unfair or deceptive acts or practices (“UDAAP”) by customers. Customer agrees to cooperate with Payload in connection with each of the foregoing and to provide any information reasonably requested by Payload or Bank in support of its compliance with and review of the foregoing.

6. Installment Payments

If Customer elects to allow Clients to pay in more than four (4) installments for the goods or services purchased, Customer must first seek approval from Payload. If approved, Customer is solely responsible for its compliance with all present and future Applicable Laws and Operating Regulations relating to installment programs and any required consumer disclosures related thereto, including without limitation the Truth in Lending Act (Regulation Z), the Electronic Fund Transfer Act (Regulation E), the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-Sign Act), and other consumer protection laws, including without limitation as such laws and their associated regulations apply to consumer disclosures, consumer liability, transaction limits, error resolution and disputes. While Payload may, in its discretion, assist Customer with disclosures and practices relating to such installment programs, Customer’s provision or approval of any materials or practices shall not be deemed a confirmation that such materials or practices comply with Applicable Laws or Operating Regulations and shall not in any way relieve Customer from its responsibility to ensure that all program materials and practices comply with the Applicable Laws and Operating Regulations.  Customer will indemnify Payload Entities for Losses resulting from such conduct.

7. Fee Programs and Pricing Disclosures

If Customer elects to impose a fee on its customers with respect to payment transactions (including a surcharge for credit cards, a convenience fee, service fee, processing fee, or similar type of fee) or implement a discount based on the type of payment method used for a transaction (including cash, check, or ACH) (collectively, “Cardholder Fee Program”), Customer must first seek approval from Payload (and in the event such Cardholder Fee Program is a surcharge, approval must also be obtained from Processor by Payload). Customer must comply with, and is solely responsible for its compliance with, all Applicable Laws and Operating Regulations relating to any such Cardholder Fee Program, including with respect to fee shifting compliance and pricing disclosures related thereto. Although Payload may, in its discretion, assist Customer with disclosures and practices relating to such Cardholder Fee Programs, Payload’s provision or approval of any materials or practices shall not be deemed legal advice or a confirmation that such materials or practices comply with applicable law or rules, and shall not in any way relieve Customer from its responsibility to ensure that all its program materials and practices are in compliance with the Operating Regulations or Applicable Laws. Furthermore, Payload may modify the requirements, policies, and procedures of any Cardholder Fee Program at any time with notice to Customer. Customer must provide Payload with at least at thirty (30) days’ prior written notice before implementing (or announcing publicly that it intends to implement) any Cardholder Fee Program that would be considered a surcharge program under the Operating Regulations. Customer is liable for and will indemnify and hold harmless Payload and/or Processor for any Losses resulting from its implementation of a Cardholder Fee Program.

8. Security Interest; Reserve Account; Right of Setoff

(a) Security Interest and Lien. Customer hereby grants a security interest and lien upon funds payable to or in the Bank Account or any substitute account now and in the future and all proceeds thereof to Payload to secure all fees, costs, and charges due in accordance with the Agreement (the “Amounts Due”) and all Losses incurred by Payload Entities. In the exercise of its rights with regard to the security interest and lien, Payload may only debit the Bank Account to the extent of the then existing Amounts Due or Losses and shall only do so if Payload becomes reasonably concerned about whether the Customer will otherwise fulfill its financial obligations. The security interest and lien granted herein shall survive the termination of the Agreement until all Amounts Due and Losses are determined and paid in full. Customer hereby authorizes Payload to prepare all documents or to take other actions reasonably necessary to perfect its security interest or lien in the Bank Account or any substitute account therefor.

(b) Establishment of Reserve Account. Payload, Bank or Processor may require Customer to fund a separate reserve account (“Reserve Account”) for any reason related to Customer’s use of the Payment Services.  The Reserve Account will be in an amount as reasonably determined by Payload, Bank or Processor to cover anticipated Amounts Due and potential Losses.  If Customer does not have sufficient funds in its Reserve Account, Payload may fund the Reserve Account from any funding source associated with the Payment Services, including any funds: (i) deposited by Customer; (ii) due to Customer, or (iii) available in Customer’s Bank Account, or by other payment instruction registered with Payload.

(c) Set-Off Rights.  To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Payload may set off against Customer proceeds for any obligation Customer owes Payload under any agreement with Payload (e.g., disputes or refunds).  If Customer owes Payload an amount that exceeds Customer’s cumulative incoming proceeds, Payload may debit the Bank Account.  Customer's failure to fully pay amounts that it owes to Payload on demand will be a breach of the Agreement.

9. Audits

Payload may, from time to time, audit Customer’s compliance with the terms of the Agreement. Customer shall provide all information requested by Payload necessary to complete the audit. Upon Payload’ request, Customer shall provide all of its books and records, including financial statements for Customer and personal financial statements for all guarantors. Customer authorizes Payload to make on-site visits to any and all of the Customer’s locations with regard to all information necessary or pertinent to the Payment Services. In addition, at any reasonable time (during normal business hours) upon reasonable notice to Customer, Customer shall allow auditors, including the auditors of Payload, any Association or any third party designated by Payload, Processor, Bank or the applicable Association, to review the files held and the procedures followed by Customer at any or all of Customer’s offices or places of business. Any such audit shall be at Customer’s expense. Customer will assist such auditors as may be necessary for them to complete their audit and will cooperate fully. In the event that a third-party audit is requested by an Association, Bank or regulatory agency, and/or required by the Operating Regulations or Applicable Law, Payload may, at its option, and at Customer’s sole expense, either retain a third party to perform the audit, or require that Customer directly retain a specific third-party auditor. If Payload requires that Customer directly retain the auditor, Customer shall arrange immediately for such audit to be performed and will provide Payload and the Associations with a copy of any final audit report.

10. Credit Investigations

Customer authorizes Payload or its respective agents to: (a) investigate the background and personal and business credit history of any of the principals and employees associated with Customer’s business from time to time; and (b) obtain: (i) a business report on Customer’s business from any company providing credit reporting service; and (ii) a consumer credit report on any such principal or employee from consumer credit reporting agencies upon registration and thereafter from time to time as deemed necessary by Payload, for evaluating Customer’s creditworthiness for underwriting purposes in connection with Customer’s use of the Payments Services. Payload may terminate this Payments Agreement if the information received in any investigation is unsatisfactory in Payload’s sole discretion.

Customer hereby represents and warrants that: (a) the execution, delivery and performance of this Payments Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary appropriate authorizing actions of Customer; (b) the execution, delivery and performance of this Payments Agreement will not contravene any applicable by-law, corporate charter, partnership or joint venture agreement, Applicable Law, Operating Regulation, or judgment involving Customer; (c) the execution, delivery and performance of this Payments Agreement will not contravene any provision or constitute a default under any other agreement, license or contract which Customer is bound; (d) the Agreement is valid and enforceable in accordance with its terms against Customer; (e) Customer will be bound by any amendments and modifications to the Agreement provided by Payload in accordance with the Agreement; and (f) Customer has all necessary consents, rights and permissions to authorize Payload to perform the investigations permitted by Section 10 (Credit Investigations).

Payload may grant or deny to Clients the ability to use the Services for any reason in its sole discretion.

(c) Fee Changes.

(d) Third Party Assessments

In the event that Processor assesses Payload with the cost of funds associated with a circumstance where Processor, for whatever reason, advances settlement or any amounts and/or delays the assessment of any fees, Customer shall be fully responsible for any portion of such assessment that is attributable to the provision of the Payments Services to Customer. In the event that Processor assesses Payload with the cost of funds associated with a circumstance where Processor, for whatever reason, advances settlement or any amounts and/or delays the assessment of any fees, Customer shall be fully responsible for any portion of such assessment that is attributable to the provision of the Payments Services to Customer.

(e) Late Fees.

If Customer does not pay amounts owed to Payload when due, Payload may charge and Customer agrees to pay a late fee of 1.5% per month on the outstanding balance, or the highest amount allowed by Applicable Law, whichever is less.

Payload or Processor may have tax reporting responsibilities in connection with the Payments Services such as an IRS report on Form 1099-K. Customer acknowledges that Processor will report the total amounts received by Customer in connection with the Payments Services each calendar year as required by the taxing authorities. Customer agrees that neither Processor, Bank nor Payload will be liable for any penalty or other damages stemming from any Form 1099-K that is issued incorrectly if it comports with the information provided by Customer, and neither Processor, Bank nor Payload will have any obligation to verify the legal name or tax ID number for reporting purposes. If necessary, Payload or its designee will conduct backup withholding on the revenue generated by the reportable payment transactions of the Customer.

Statements, reports and invoices provided under this Payments Agreement may be in written or electronic form, as determined by Payload in its sole discretion. Customer acknowledges and agrees that failure to notify Payload in writing within three (3) business days from the date that settlement was to occur of any settlement related issues, including that it did not receive settlement funds, constitutes Customer’s acceptance of the settlement and waiver of any related claims. Customer must notify Payload in writing of any errors within any statement, report or invoice provided by Payload within thirty (30) days from the date the statement, report or invoice is made available to Customer. If no notice is provided to Payload within such thirty (30) day notice period, the statement, report or invoice will be deemed accepted by Customer and any disputes or claims regarding such statement, report or invoice, including any claims of in errors in fees, will be deemed waived.

If Payload agrees to provide Payment Card Acceptance Services to Customer, the terms of this Schedule 1 - Payment Card Acceptance Services (“Schedule 1”) will apply to Customer’s access to and use of the Payment Card Acceptance Services. This Schedule 1 (and any attachments hereto) is a schedule to the Payment Processing Agreement (“Payments Agreement”) with Payload and, together with the Payments Agreement, Terms of Use, and any schedules, exhibits, or other documents attached thereto or incorporated therein forms a part of the Agreement between Payload and Customer for Payment Card Acceptance Services. Unless separately terminated in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, this Schedule 1 will automatically terminate upon termination or expiration of the Payments Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Schedule 1 will have the meaning given to them in the Payments Agreement (including Appendix A), the Terms of Use or the Operating Regulations, as applicable. Any inconsistency, conflict, or ambiguity between this Schedule 1 and any other portion of the Agreement will be resolved by giving precedence and effect to this Schedule 1, but only to the extent of the inconsistency, conflict, or ambiguity. Other than as expressly amended by this Schedule 1, all other provisions of the Agreement will remain in full force and effect.

1. Definitions

In this Schedule 1: (a) Customer is referred to as "Business"; (b) the term Payor (which is defined in the Terms of Use) includes a Cardholder (as defined in Appendix A); and (c) Bank is a member of Visa, Mastercard and/or Discover, as applicable, that provides sponsorship services in connection with the Payments Agreement.

2. Disclosure

This Schedule 1 includes the Disclosure, which is incorporated into and made a part of this Schedule 1 by this reference. The Payment Card Acceptance Services are provided by Processor and Bank pursuant to a Third-Party Payment Processor Agreement that Payload has entered into with Processor (“Processor Agreement”). Under the Processor Agreement, Processor provides Acquiring Services to Payload and allows Payload to act as a Payment Facilitator in connection with such Acquiring Services, including helping Business with chargebacks, reporting, status changes and questions about Acquiring Services. Payload is a registered PSP and Payment Facilitator. Business understands and agrees that Payload does not process, receive, or hold funds from Clients at any time in connection with the Card Transactions and that Payload is not a bank, money transmitter, or other money services business (as such terms are defined by the Bank Secrecy Act or any state law).

3. Services

Pursuant to the Processor Agreement, Payload has arranged for Processor to acquire, process and settle payment for transactions initiated by Payors, by means of instruction based funding. Such acquiring, processing and settlement shall be made in accordance with the Operating Regulations. Subject to processing delays and risk holds, Payload has made arrangements as a Payment Facilitator to cause Card payments to be made to Business. Processor will periodically transfer Payments to Business's Bank Account based upon instructions provided by Payload on behalf of Business.

4. Authorizations and Representations Related to Card Transactions

Business hereby authorizes Payload, as its agent, to instruct Processor and Bank debit and credit the Bank Account, to effect the Card Transactions contemplated by this Schedule 1 and to debit from Business’s Bank Account any associated chargebacks, refunds, and reversals, and any fees or charges owed to Payload. With respect to each Card Transaction, Business represents and warrants to Payload that the person whose name is submitted as Cardholder either made or authorized another to make the purchase. Upon breach of this warranty, Payload may charge back the Card Transaction to Business. If Payload charges back the Card Transaction to Business, Business shall pay Payload the amount of the Card Transaction, a chargeback fee, plus any applicable Association fine or assessment. Payload may charge the Card Transaction to the Bank Account or Reserve Account without prior notice to Business. If Business accepts a Pre-Authorized Recurring Order Transaction, the Cardholder shall execute and deliver to Business a written request for this pre-authorization. This written request shall be maintained by Business and made available upon request to Payload. All annual billings must be reaffirmed at least once a year. Business shall not deliver goods or perform services covered by a Pre-Authorized Recurring Order Transaction after receiving notification from the Cardholder that the pre-authorization is cancelled or from Payload that the Card covering the Pre-Authorized Recurring Order Transaction is not to be honored. A “Pre-Authorized Recurring Order Transaction” means any recurring Card Transaction which has been pre-authorized by the Cardholder for which the products or services are to be periodically delivered or performed by Business without having to obtain approval from the Cardholder in each instance.

5. Payload Obligations

Payload shall deliver payment to Business by a credit to the Bank Account equal to the reconciled summary of Business's total summary Card Transactions since the previous credit. This credit will be net of the following charges: (a) the sum of all Cardholder charges denied, refused or charged back; (b) all refunds processed on account of Cardholders during said time period; (c) all taxes, penalties, charges and other items incurred by Payload that are reimbursable pursuant to the Agreement; and (d) all fees, including to an amount equal to a specified percentage of the total cash price of each draft ("Merchant Discount Rate"), a specified amount per Card Transaction ("Transaction Fee") any processing fees collected from Cardholder (convenience fee and or payment plan setup fees) and additional fees such as a monthly statement fee, installation fees, and other fees identified on the Fee Schedule. In any case, including those defined in (a) to (d) above, Payload shall not be obligated to accept a Card Transaction for credit to the Bank Account. If Payload has credited the Bank Account or Reserve Account for such Card Transaction, Payload may return the Card Transaction to the Business, and Payload shall recover the amount of the Card Transaction from the applicable account. Business agrees that Payload, without prior notice to Business, may: (i) charge the amount of the Card Transaction to the Bank Account or Reserve Account; (b) recoup a fee of $25.00 for every chargeback incurred; (c) recoup the amount of the Card Transaction by adjustment of the credits due to Business; or (d) set-off the amount of the Card Transaction against any account or property Payload holds for or on behalf of Business.

6. Provisional Credit

Any credits to the Bank Account are provisional only and subject to revocation by Payload until such time that the Card Transaction is final and no longer subject to chargeback by the Issuer, Cardholder, or Associations.

7. Chargebacks

If a Cardholder disputes charges for goods or services before receiving them, a chargeback may result. Business is solely responsible to pay the amount of any chargeback resulting from Card Transactions that Business submits under this Schedule 1. Business must not exceed the Association threshold for chargebacks. If Payload determines that Business is incurring an excessive number of chargebacks, returns or reversals (as determined by Payload in its discretion), Processor, Payload or Bank may establish controls or conditions governing Business's Bank Account, including without limitation by: (a) assessing additional fees, (b) creating a Reserve in an amount reasonably determined by Payload; (c) delaying payment, and (d) terminating this Schedule 1, the Agreement, or suspending the Payment Card Acceptance Services.

16. Parties to the Agreement; Entire Agreement

The Payments Agreement, including this Schedule 1, constitutes the agreement Payload is required to enter into under the Processing Agreement with its businesss.

By agreeing to this Schedule 1, Business agrees to be automatically bound to the terms and conditions of the Commercial Entity Agreement in Exhibit A with Processor and Bank effective as of the date Business's transaction volume exceeds the applicable threshold amount or meets the triggering criteria provided in the Operating Regulations. Processor and Bank may independently enforce the Commercial Entity Agreement. The Agreement, including this Schedule 1, shall not be superseded or replaced by the Commercial Entity Agreement. When the Commercial Entity Agreement applies, in the event of a conflict between the terms of the Agreement and the Commercial Entity Agreement, the terms of the Commercial Entity Agreement shall control.

Payload will further have the right to immediately terminate Business for cause or fraudulent or other activity, or upon American Express' request.

(g) Business's refund policies for purchases on American Express Cards must be at least as favorable as its refund policy for purchases on any other Card Networks' Cards, and the refund policy must be disclosed to Cardholders at the time of purchase and in compliance with Applicable Law. Business may not bill or attempt to collect from any Cardholder for any American Express purchase or payment on the Card unless a Chargeback has been exercised, Business has fully paid for such charge, and it otherwise has the right to do so.

(h) Business must: (i) comply with all Applicable Laws relating to the conduct of Business's business; (ii) comply with the Data Security Requirements (DSR) and PCI DSS, each as described in Chapter 15 of the American Express OptBlue Program Operating Regulations, "Data Security"; (iii) report all instances of a Data Incident immediately to Payload after discovery of the incident; (iv) cease all use of, and remove American Express licensed marks from Business's website and wherever else they are displayed upon termination of this Schedule 1 or Business's participation in OptBlue.

BUSINESS HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THERE ARE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ACCEPTANCE OF CARDS AND BUSINESS HEREBY ASSUMES ALL SUCH RISKS EXCEPT AS MAY BE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN. Payload or Processor may refuse to process any or all of Business's transactions in Payload's discretion.

A website operated by the Business that accepts Card Transactions must contain all of the following information: (a) complete description of the services offered; (b) return merchandise and refund policy, which includes the communication of the return policy during the order process and the requirement that the Cardholder must be allowed to select a "click to accept" option or other affirmative button to acknowledge the policy; (c) terms and conditions; (d) customer service contact including e-mail address or telephone number; (e) transaction currency; (f) export or legal restrictions; (g) delivery policy; (h) consumer data privacy policy; (i) the security method offered for transmission of payment data such as Secure Sockets Layer or 3-D Secure; and (j) address of the Business outlet's permanent establishment, including the Business outlet country.

For the avoidance of doubt, Business understands and agrees that nothing contained in the Agreement will lessen or otherwise interfere with the rights of Processor, Bank, or the Associations to terminate Business's ability to process Cards at any time.

Neither party will be liable for delays in processing or other nonperformance caused by such events as fires, telecommunications failures, utility failures, power failures, equipment failures, labor strife, riots, war, terrorist attack, nonperformance of Paymentech’s vendors or suppliers, acts of God, or other causes over which the respective party has no reasonable control, except that nothing in this Section 10.10 will affect or excuse Merchant’s liabilities and obligations for chargebacks, refunds, or unfulfilled goods and services.

10.11  Amendment. This Agreement may only be amended by Merchant upon mutual written agreement. Paymentech may amend this Agreement at any time via TP3 posting a revised version on the TP3 Website.

Customer further agrees that any such Entries shall comply with the Nacha Rules and Payload's and the Bank's security procedures and formatting requirements, which are subject to change upon notice to Customer.

Customer is responsible for payment for an Entry even if the Entry is erroneous or is a duplicate Entry and regardless of whether Customer was the source of the error or duplicate Entry. Customer agrees to make payment for any credit Entries originated and for any debit Entries returned by the RDFI.

3. Authorization; Retention

(a) Capture. As mutually agreed upon the Parties, Customer or Payload (on Customer's behalf) will capture the Receiver's authorization to initiate an Entry (or standing Entries) ("ACH Authorization") in connection with the ACH Transaction Services which will be initiated by Customer as the Originator. Such ACH Authorization will abide by NACHA rules and regulations. If the Parties agree that Payload will capture the ACH Authorization for an Entry on Customer's behalf, any Customer request for Payload to modify the authorization details or authorization consent capture process must be: (i) in accordance with the Nacha Rules and Applicable Laws; (ii) presented to Payload in a writing; and (iii) delivered in accordance with the notice requirements of the Agreement. If applicable, copies of ACH Authorizations captured by Payload will be delivered to Customer by Payload in a manner mutually agreed to by the Parties. Nothing in this Section 3 shall relieve Customer of its obligations under the Nacha Rules or the Agreement with respect to obtaining and retaining ACH Authorizations from Receivers (including the continued monitorior additional requirements related to ACH Authorizations).

(b) Consumer Authorizations. All debits to Consumer Accounts must be authorized by the consumer in writing and must be signed or similarly authenticated by the consumer, as permitted by the Nacha Rules, with the exception of Entries for RCK, which are addressed below. For permitted debit Entries, other than RCK Entries, Customer must be able to provide the consumer with a hard copy of the consumer's authorization. Except with respect to Single-Entry WEB entries, the authorization must (i) specify that the Receiver may revoke the authorization; and (ii) contain information regarding the manner in which the authorization can be revoked.

(c) RCK Entries. If Customer is permitted to make RCK Entries, authorization consists of: (i) notice from Customer to the Receiver, before Customer's receipt of Receiver's source document or the item, that Customer's receipt of the item constitutes authorization of the Entry in accordance with the terms of the item; and (ii) Customer's receipt of the item.

(d) Retention. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3, Customer acknowledges and agrees that Payload is not obligated to retain copies of the ACH Authorization once a copy of such ACH Authorization has been provided to Customer. Customer, as the Originator, is required to retain the original or a copy of each written ACH Authorization, or a readily and accurately reproducible record evidencing any other permissible form of ACH Authorization, for two (2) years from the termination or revocation of the ACH Authorization. An ACH Authorization retained as an electronic record shall accurately reflect the information in the record, and shall be capable of being accurately reproduced for later reference, whether by transmission, printing, or otherwise. Upon request, Customer must provide the original, copy, or other accurate record of the ACH Authorization, to Payload in such time and manner as to enable Payload and Bank to deliver the authorization to a requesting RDFI within ten (10) Business Days of the RDFI's request.ng of the Nacha Rules and Applicable Laws for any changes

4. Returns; Reinitiated Entries

(a) Reinitiated Entries Defined. The Parties acknowledge and agree that following the Return of a debit Entry, and provided that the underlying debit authorization has not been revoked by the Receiver, an Entry initiated to the same Receiver's account in the same amount in payment or fulfillment of the same underlying obligation ("Reinitiated Entry") may be initiated if the original debit was (i) returned for insufficient or uncollected funds; (ii) returned for a stopped payment (Return Reason Code R08) where the reinitiation is then subsequently authorized by the Receiver; (iii) Customer or Bank have taken corrective action to remedy the reason for the return; or (iv) if the underlying Entry was an RCK (converted check), the item to which the RCK Entry relates has been presented no more than one time through the check collection system (as a check, substitute check, or image) and no more than one time as an RCK Entry. An attempted Reinitiated Entry may be attempted a maximum of two (2) times following the return of the original debit, and may only occur within one hundred eighty (180) days after the Settlement Date of the original debit Entry. For the avoidance of doubt, any attempt to debit the Recipient for the same underlying obligation more than two (2) times following the return or more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the Settlement Date of the original Entry will require new authorization from the Receiver.

(b) Improperly Reinitiated Entries. The following will be considered improper Reinitiated Entry attempts and a violation by Customer of Section 4(a) of this Schedule 2 and the Agreement: (i) following the Return of an Entry, initiating an Entry to the same Recipient in an amount greater than the amount of the previously Returned Entry in payment or fulfillment of the same underlying obligation plus an additional fee or charge; (ii) following the Return of an Entry, initiating one or more Entries to the same Recipient in an amount(s) less than the original Entry in payment or fulfillment of a portion of the same underlying obligation; (iii) reinitiating any Entry that was Returned as unauthorized; or (iv) initiating any other Entry that Nacha reasonably believes represents an attempted evasion of the limitations on Reinitiation.

(c) New Debit Entries. Notwithstanding anything else described in this Section 4, a subsequent debit will not be considered a Reinitiated Entry and will instead be considered a new Entry if: (i) Customer obtains a new authorization from the Recipient for the debit Entry after it receives the original Return Entry; (ii) the debit Entry is one in a series of preauthorized, recurring debit Entries and is not contingent upon whether an earlier debit Entry in the recurring series has been returned; (iii) the debit Entry is initiated to the Recipient's correct account following the return of a previous Entry using either Return Reason Code R03 (No Account/Unable to Locate Account) or R04 (Invalid Account Number Structure); or (iv) the debit Entry is initiated to the Recipient's account following the return of a previous Entry when returned using Return Reason Code R11 (Customer Advises Entry Not in Accordance with the Terms of the Authorization) and the error or defect in the previous Entry has been corrected to conform to the terms of the original ACH Authorization, in accordance with the requirements of the Nacha Rules regarding the correction of Entries Returned as R11 (Customer Advises Entry Not in Accordance with the Terms of the Authorization).

5. Notification of Change

From time to time, Bank may receive a non-monetary Entry transmitted by a Receiver's financial institution for the purposes of (a) identifying incorrect information contained in an Entry; and (b) providing correct data to be used in future Entries (each a "Notification of Change" or "NOC"). In connection with each NOC, Payload may, in its sole discretion, elect to investigate the purported errors and to make the corresponding changes on behalf of Customer ("NOC Services"). In such instances, Payload will provide notice to Customer of any changes it makes pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Customer must make the corresponding updates to any such account information maintained by Customer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 5 shall relieve Customer of its obligations under the Nacha Rules or the Agreement with respect to NOCs. In addition to Customer's indemnification obligations under the Agreement, Customer specifically agrees to indemnify and hold Payload harmless from any Losses resulting from the provision of NOC Services on Customer's behalf.

7. Exposure Limits; Origination Restrictions

Payload or Bank may from time to time establish one or more credit limits or ACH origination limits applicable to Entries involving Customer ("Exposure Limits"). Such Exposure Limits shall be established by written notice from Payload or Bank, as applicable, and will be effective immediately unless such notice states otherwise. In the event that an Entry or Entries exceed such Exposure Limits, Payload or Bank will promptly provide oral or written notice to Customer. Payload and Bank may either approve the Entry as an exception to the credit limit, request that it be held over to the next day, or reject such Entry.

8. Consent for Electronic Records and Notices

To the extent that the Parties agree that Payload will capture the ACH Authorization from the Receiver on Customer's behalf, Payload will also obtain, on Customer's behalf, the Receivers' affirmative consent to the electronic receipt of records and notices. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing, Payload will provide an electronic copy of the Receivers' ACH Authorization to each Receiver at the email address provided by each respective Receiver. In the event any Receiver opts not to receive electronic disclosures or notices, Customer shall provide a physical copy of the authorization to such Receiver. Nothing in this Section 8 shall relieve Customer of its obligation to ensure that it has satisfied its obligation under the Nacha Rules and Applicable Laws with respect to its obligation to provide a copy of the ACH Authorizations to its Receivers (including Company's continuing obligation to monitor the Nacha Rules and Applicable Laws for any changes or additional requirements related to the provision of electronic copies of such authorizations to Receivers).

9. ACH Compliance Generally

Customer agrees to be bound by the Nacha Rules, as may be modified by Nacha from time to time. This includes, but is not limited to, specific obligations relating to the origination of WEB debits and the implementation of commercially reasonable fraud monitoring policies and procedures as required by the Nacha Rules. Furthermore, Customer represents and warrants that the origination of ACH transactions and all such actions of Customer contemplated in this Schedule 2, including the preparation and transmittal of Entries and payment orders, shall comply with the Nacha Rules and Applicable Laws, and Customer agrees not to originate Entries that violate such Nacha Rules or Applicable Laws.

10. Fines and Suspension

Customer acknowledges Payload will charge Customer any fines or penalties imposed by Nacha, any regulatory authority, or any other third party which are incurred as a result of non-compliance with the Nacha Rules or Applicable Laws by Customer or Receiver, and Customer agrees to fully reimburse and indemnify Payload and Bank for such charges or fines. Payload and its Bank reserve the right to audit the Customer for compliance with this Agreement and with the Nacha Rules, Applicable Laws, and the Agreement (including this Schedule 2) and to terminate or suspend Customer's use of the ACH Transaction Services immediately due to Customer's noncompliance with the same.

11. No Guarantees

Payload does not guarantee timely delivery of any Entry. Neither Payload nor Bank shall have any liability to Customer as a result of any late delivery, except to the extent such late delivery is: (a) more than 24 hours late; and (b) caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Payload or Bank.

12. Limitation

Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary, Payload's liability to Customer for claims arising out of the ACH Transaction Services performed by Payload pursuant to this Schedule 2 shall be limited to the extent of errors and omissions which are caused by Payload's gross negligence or willful misconduct and which cannot be remedied through the processing of appropriate corrected Entry(ies).

Any inconsistency, conflict, or ambiguity between this Schedule 3 and any other portion of the Agreement will be resolved by giving precedence and effect to this Schedule 3, but only to the extent of the inconsistency, conflict, or ambiguity. Other than as expressly amended by this Schedule 3, all other provisions of the Agreement will remain in full force and effect.

1. Service Description

Check21 Services allow Customer to scan images of paper checks payable in U.S. Dollars (each, a "Check") for electronic deposit to the Settlement Account and transfer to Customer's designated Bank Account.

2. Instruction and Authorization

By using the Check21 Services, Customer hereby instructs Payload to: (a) convert the scanned Check images to X9 or image cash letter files ("ICL"); (b) submit such ICL files to Bank for deposit to the Settlement Account on Customer's behalf; and (c) transfer an amount equal to the face value of the Check, subject to any adjustments authorized or necessary under the terms of the Agreement, to the designated Bank Account via ACH.

(e) Customer will conduct its activity in compliance with all Applicable Laws. Customer will ensure that, with respect to Customer's use of the Check21 Services, Clients know and understand that Check payments will be imaged and Substitute Checks (as defined by federal law) will be created and processed in accordance with the Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act ("Check 21 Act"). In particular, Customer will provide each of its Clients with a notice that describes Substitute Checks and the rights associated with such Checks. Customer will comply with the then-current rules, regulations, requirements, and procedural guidelines published by Nacha, and/or all regional payment alliances associated with Nacha.

(f) If instructed by any governmental authority, or if deemed appropriate by Payload in connection with any audit, investigation, inquiry, or suspicious activity, Payload or its TPSPs may without notice to Customer limit access by Customer to any funds or proceeds.

5. Hardware

To the extent Customer is authorized to receive and capture Checks for processing using the Check21 Services, Customer is solely responsible for the selection, use, and operation of the hardware used to capture the electronic image of the paper Checks, including the quality of the scanned check image results generated. Such hardware must be certified for use with the Check21 Services in order to be deemed compatible with the Check21 Services or otherwise included on Payload's hardware lists.

6. Equipment

To use the Check21 Services, Customer must use software and telecommunication services that are acceptable to or specified by Payload from time to time. Failure to use acceptable or specified software and/or telecommunication services may impact Customer's ability to use, or affect the quality of, the Check21 Services.

Payload and its TPSPs may perform ongoing monitoring of Customer's use of the Check21 Services, business methods, and operations. Customer will provide any information regarding the foregoing to Payload within five (5) business days of Payload's request.

9. Restrictions

Customer agrees that Checks submitted using the Check21 Services are not subject to the funds availability requirements of Federal Reserve Board Regulation CC.

If the Check is not received by Payload until after the Check21 Cutoff Time, funds from the deposit made via the Check21 Service will be available for transfer to the Bank Account on the next business day that Bank is open and will be available to Customer for withdrawal from the Bank Account based upon the funds availability policy of the bank where the Bank Account is held. Settlement of funds is subject to Bank's receipt of funds from the paying bank (the Client's bank) and will remain subject to reversal if such Check becomes subject to a stop payment. Bank may place limitations on the availability of funds settled to the Settlement Account and Payload will have no liability or obligation with respect to such limitations. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Payload does not receive, take possession of, or transmit any funds to Customer for settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Payload is deemed to receive, take possession of, or transmit Customer's settlement funds, Customer acknowledges and agrees that such conduct is performed on behalf of Customer as Customer's non-fiduciary, limited-purpose agent and that such funds will be deemed received by Customer upon Payload's receipt. In such event, if Payload fails to remit those funds to Customer, Customer's sole recourse is against Payload, not Client.

11. Check Quality and Processing

The Check images transmitted to Payload using the Check21 Services must be legible. If the electronic files and/or images transmitted to Payload with respect to any Check do not comply with Payload's requirements for content and/or format, Payload may, in its sole discretion: (i) further transmit the Check and data in the form received from Customer; (ii) repair or attempt to repair the Check or data and then further transmit it; (iii) process the Check as photocopies in lieu of originals; or (iv) return the data and Check to Customer unprocessed (and charge back Customer's Bank Account, when applicable).

Payload will have no obligation for Customer's inability to receive Push to Card Services or a Recipient's inability to receive a payment that result from Customer's failure to change or update its systems in response to such a change, and Payload will have no liability resulting from inaccuracies in the Card account information or instructions provided to Payload by Customer.

Customer acknowledges and agrees that Push to Card Services may only be used for transactions made to Card accounts within the United States. In addition, Payload may refuse to act on any instruction from Customer regarding the Push to Card Services if Payload learns or determines that facilitating one or more transactions in accordance with Customer's instructions is not permitted for whatever reason (e.g., the designated Recipient is a person or entity not supported by the Push to Card Services program requirements, the disbursement or transaction amount exceeds the amount permitted under the Push to Card Services program requirements, the disbursement or transaction is or may be illegal or could result in regulatory or other scrutiny, or the disbursement or transaction is or may be impermissible for any other reason), or if Customer is in default of any provision of the Agreement or otherwise has an unsatisfied monetary obligation with Payload.

Customer shall comply with and conduct its Card activities in accordance with all applicable Operating Regulations and Applicable Laws, including those pertaining to marks, acceptance, risk management, transaction processing, products, programs, and services in which Customer is required to, or chooses to, participate.

For purposes of this permitted use of third party processors, Customer must (a) advise Bank that it will use a third party processor; (b) agree that Bank is only liable to reimburse Customer for the transactions effectively delivered by that third party processor to the applicable Association; and (c) assume responsibility for any failure by its third party processor to comply with the Operating Regulations.
