    1. Biller is responsible for all activity occurring under Biller’s account(s) and shall abide by all applicable laws and regulations as well as card association rules, NACHA rules and Payment Processing Agreements, in connection with Biller’s and/or its customers’ use of the Service, including those related to data privacy, communications, export or import of data and the transmission of technical, personal or other data.

Biller shall not: (i) send or store material containing software viruses, worms, Trojan horses or other harmful computer code, files, scripts, agents or programs; (ii) interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service or the data contained therein; (iii) attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service or its related systems or networks; (iv) license, sublicense, sell, resell, transfer, assign, distribute or otherwise commercially exploit or make available to any third party the Service in any way; (v) modify or make derivative works based upon the Service; (vi) recreate, “frame” or “mirror” any portion of the Service on any other server or wireless or Internet-based device; (vii) reverse engineer or access the Service; or (viii) copy any features, functions or graphics of the Service.

You authorize Invoice Cloud to instruct its processors to initiate electronic credit entries, debit entries, and adjustments to a Biller Bank Account for amounts due to or from you in connection with this Agreement. Invoice Cloud will not be liable for any delays in receipt of funds or errors in Biller Bank Account entries caused by third parties, including but not limited to delays or errors by the Networks, payment processors, merchant acquirors or the bank.
    3. The dollar amount payable to Biller for Biller’s Transactions will be equal to the amount submitted by Biller in connection with your sale Transactions, minus the sum of amounts due from Biller or debited from a Biller Bank Account, including Chargebacks, Network Fees, Network Liabilities, other fees and charges referenced on the Biller Order Form and all applicable charges and adjustments. If, however, Invoice Cloud or the processor fails to withhold Chargebacks, Network Fees or other charges or amounts due from the proceeds payable to a Biller Bank Account (including where such proceeds are insufficient to cover such obligations), or if a Biller Bank Account does not have a sufficient balance to pay amounts due from Biller under these guidelines, Invoice Cloud may pursue one or more of the following options: (i) demand and receive immediate payment from Biller for such amounts; (ii) debit the Biller Bank Account for the amount of the negative balance; (iii) reduce future settlement payments by the amount owed, (iv) withhold settlement payments to the Biller Bank Account until all amounts are paid, (v) delay presentation of refunds until a payment is made to Invoice Cloud of a sufficient amount to cover the negative balance; and (vi) pursue any remedies we may have at law or in equity.
    4. To enable Invoice Cloud to process transactions for the Biller, Biller authorizes and directs Invoice Cloud, its affiliates, the Payment Method providers, and the payment processors: (1) that, with respect to any Payment Instrument Transactions processed by the payment processor, the payment processor will disburse funds to and collect funds from the Biller in accordance with instructions provided to the payment processor by Invoice Cloud, and as otherwise permitted pursuant to any applicable Payment Processing Agreement that Biller has entered into; (2) that outstanding sums due and owing to Invoice Cloud, including, but not limited to Chargebacks and Network Fees, will automatically be debited from the Biller Bank Account for such purpose on a daily or monthly basis at Invoice Cloud’s sole discretion. Biller shall maintain sufficient funds in the Biller Bank Accounts to pay all periodic fees, Chargebacks, Network Fees and other fees due hereunder; and non-sufficient funds for these debits, or blocking or otherwise rendering inaccessible any Biller Bank Account, are grounds for an increase in fees, suspension of the Service, and/or termination of this Agreement.
    5. Invoice Cloud is not responsible for any Biller postings in error due to delayed notification from credit card processor, ACH bank, and/or other related circumstances.

    6. Biller is required to ensure that it maintains a fair policy in compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and all Network rules with regard to the refund, return or cancellation of services and adjustment of Transactions.

Any change in a return or cancellation policy for the transactions underlying the Payment Instrument Transactions must be submitted to Invoice Cloud, in writing, not less than 21 days prior to the effective date of such change. If Biller allows or is required to provide a price adjustment, or cancellation of services in connection with a Transaction previously processed, Biller will prepare and deliver to Invoice Cloud, Transactions reflecting such refund/adjustment within 2 days of resolution of the request resulting in such refund/adjustment. The amount of the refund/adjustment with respect to Transactions under the Service cannot exceed the amount shown as the total on the original Transaction.

Individual users, when they initially log in, may be asked whether or not they wish to receive marketing and other non-critical Service-related communications from Invoice Cloud from time to time. They may opt out of receiving such communications at that time or at any subsequent time by changing their preference at http://www.invoicecloud.com/privacy.html. Note that because the Service is a hosted, online application, Invoice Cloud occasionally may need to notify all users of the Service (whether or not they have opted out as described above) of important announcements regarding the operation of the Service

      10.

The foregoing right includes, without limitation, the right to install and use the Products for purposes reasonably related to the subject matter of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, testing, and staging of the Products. All rights not specifically granted to Biller hereunder are reserved by Invoice Cloud and the kiosk manufacturer. Any and all intellectual property rights to the Products shall belong solely to Invoice Cloud and the manufacturer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, delivered Products shall not be (a) copied, distributed, modified, translated, adapted or altered, in part or in whole, in any way or (b) decompiled, disassembled or reverse engineered or unbundled from any product nor may Biller seek, in any manner, to discover, disclose or use any source code, proprietary algorithms, techniques or other Confidential Information contained therein.

Warranty service is detailed in Section 6(d) below. Should the Product fail to conform to manufacturer’s specifications, repair parts and replacement Products will be furnished on an exchange basis and will be either reconditioned or new as specified below.

Where Biller authorizes Invoice Cloud to create an account for Biller with Invoice Cloud’s third party service provider and register on Biller’s behalf, Biller thereby authorizes Invoice Cloud to act as its agent for the limited purpose of binding Biller to the Third Party Terms and Conditions. In the event that Biller is unwilling to be bound by any or all of the Third Party Terms and Conditions, Biller must immediately notify Invoice Cloud in writing and cease all use of the Outbound Payment Services and the products and services of Invoice Cloud’s third party service provider.

    4. Rights and Obligations. Biller shall be responsible for the settlement of all transactions in the amount communicated to Biller by Transcard.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Transcard shall not be obligated to advance or otherwise provide funds for Transcard’s services or settling transactions utilizing bank provider services.

If Biller fails to so maintain sufficient funds in the Custodial Account, in addition to any other remedies available to Transcard, Transcard may (x) cease performing its services until Biller has met its obligations under this section, (y) instruct the applicable bank to cease providing bank provider services without liability to Biller, and (z) instruct Invoice Cloud to invoice Biller for all deficient amounts. Biller shall pay the undisputed deficient amount no later than three (3) business days following the date of such invoice, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, such failure shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement that is not subject to the cure periods as provided in the termination provision of this Agreement.  Transcard shall have the limited right to enforce the terms and conditions of this Agreement as if it were a party hereto in the event of an actual or threatened Biller violation of this Agreement arising from or related to: (i) Biller’s failure to maintain sufficient funds in the Custodial Account; (ii) Biller’s breach of the terms of this Section 8(l); (iii) Biller’s violation of the Third Party Terms and Conditions; (iv) Biller’s violation of applicable law in its use of Transcard’s services; or (v) Biller’s acts or omissions that cause or are likely to cause actual, imminent or potential harm to Transcard.
    5. Indemnification. Biller shall indemnify, defend and hold Transcard and its directors, officers, agents, and employees harmless from and against all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, expenses, and reasonable attorney’s fees, arising out of a claim by a third party against Transcard resulting from Biller’s use of the Transcard services in violation of this Section 8(l), the Third Party Terms and Conditions, or applicable law.
    6. Taxes.

Biller shall be responsible for payment of all such Taxes, levies, or duties, excluding only United States (federal or state) taxes based solely on Transcard’s income. This provision does not apply to any taxes for which Biller is exempt, provided Biller has furnished Transcard with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.
    7. Use of Third Party Services. Biller acknowledges and agrees that all services provided to Biller by Transcard must be used only for Biller’s internal purposes. Biller further acknowledges and agrees that Transcard’s services may not be resold or syndicated to any third party.
    8. Control. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Section 8(l) and any other term or condition of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Section 8(l) shall control and prevail.
