Payment Service Providers and Payment Method Providers

Your use of the Paymentship Services is subject to additional terms that apply between You and one or more of Paymentship, a Paymentship affiliate, or a Brick Services Provider (“Brick Services Terms”). By using the Paymentship Services, You agree to the Brick Services Terms and applicable Payment Terms as set out.
We may add or remove Payment Services Providers or payment methods at any time. The Payment Service Terms and Payment Terms may also be amended from time to time. Your continuing use of the Paymentship Services constitutes Your consent and agreement to such additions, removals and amendments.
You authorise Payment Services Providers to hold, receive, and disburse funds on Your behalf; and to instruct such Payment Services Providers as to how and when funds are transferred to You. You also authorise us to designate which Payment Services Providers may hold settlement funds, on deposit and in trust, pending transfer of funds to You in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. A clearing account through which funds are settled will be maintained by a Payment Services Provider, and transfers to You from this account will be a full and final payment by the Payment Services Provider to You.

Terms of Payment

Paymentship shall pay You the Total Net Revenue (as defined in Section 3.(C.)(e.) below) generated by the sale of goods, virtual goods, intangible services, subscriptions, and virtual currency as a result of Your use of the Paymentship Service.
You shall be responsible for the costs Paymentship incurs to remit the Total Net Revenue to You under this Agreement, including but not limited to wire transfer fees and any third party processing fees (“Remittance Costs”) as defined in the fee schedule.
If for any reason Paymentship is required or resolves to issue a refund to any end user for a transaction, including where the original third party payment option used does not allow refunds, You shall be responsible for total amount of the refund, including the costs of issuing a refund and any third party payment processor fees (collectively, “Refund Costs”), as defined in the fee schedule, if Paymentship issues a refund via a different payment method.
Within the Paymentship Admin Area, Paymentship will provide You with access to a reporting tool that will display the suggested value added tax (“VAT”) that You may be required to remit to various tax authorities for end user transactions in select territories. For each relevant transaction, the report shall display the VAT rate that is independently provided by Avalara AvaTax, a third party tax service, through the report. Paymentship provides this report functionality at a cost per relevant end user transaction within the territory of 0.05 EUR, if You are incorporated in the European Union, or $0.05 USD, if You are incorporated in any other jurisdiction (“Tax Calculation Cost”). The reporting tool is provided for Your convenience and Paymentship is not responsible for and shall not be involved in any tax preparation or remittance on behalf of You.
"Total Net Revenue" means gross revenues paid by end-users to You via the Paymentship Service less Paymentship’s Revenue Share (as detailed in the Merchant Area via Your Paymentship Admin account), third party payment processor fees, Remittance Costs, Refund Costs, Tax Calculation Costs, deductions for fraud, chargebacks, chargeback fees, currency exchange rate fluctuation differences, currency exchange fees, and uncollected amounts.
You shall be solely responsible for determining which taxes, if any, apply to the payments received, and to report and remit the correct tax to the appropriate tax authority. Paymentship is not obligated to determine whether taxes apply, and is not responsible to collect, report, or remit any taxes arising from any transaction. You shall be solely responsible for the timely payment of all applicable federal, state or local taxes, including any VAT, sales, use, excise or transfer taxes, and other taxes associated with payments to You under this Agreement, except for taxes assessed on Paymentship’s net income and local taxes that are already paid by Paymentship or by third party processors. You shall indemnify Paymentship against any losses, costs, liabilities, expenses, including attorneys’ fees arising out of Your failure to fully comply with this section.

Payment Logistics and Timeframes

The Total Net Revenue collected by Paymentship will be sent by Paymentship to You once a month, within five (5) business days from the 1st of the month, provided that amounts of less than one hundred dollars ($100.00) will be held until amounts due equal or exceed one hundred dollars ($100.00).
Depending on the location of the payment and the payment method selected, most third party payment providers remit the funds to Paymentship on Net 30 payment terms from the end of the month in which the end user transaction occurs. For select markets or payment options, the collection timeframe can be Net 45, Net 60, Net 90, or longer. The expected Total Net Revenue payout timeframes and amounts will be displayed to You in the Paymentship Admin Area and accessible with a username and password.
The Payout Report provided in the Paymentship Admin Area shall display the tentative amount of Total Net Revenue that will be paid out to You. The actual payout may fluctuate based on Rolling Reserve (as detailed in Section 3.(H.) below) currency exchange rates, uncollected amounts, risk adjustments, chargebacks, reversals and other third party fees.
You shall notify Paymentship within six (6) weeks after the receipt of a payment if You wish to dispute the amount of any payout for the applicable transactions (“Dispute Period”). After the expiration of the Dispute Period, the payout and Paymentship’s reporting regarding those transactions shall be deemed approved by You.

Payment Service Providers and Payment Methods Providers

Your use of the Paymentship Services is subject to additional terms that apply between You and one or more of Paymentship, a Paymentship affiliate, or a Paymentship Services Provider (“Paymentship Services Terms”). In addition, unique terms and conditions may also apply to specific payment methods or networks (“Payment Terms”). By using the Paymentship Services, You agree to the Paymentship Services Terms and applicable Payment Terms.
We may add or remove Paymentship Services Providers or payment methods at any time. The Payment Service Terms and Payment Terms may also be amended from time to time. Your continuing use of the Paymentship Services constitutes Your consent and agreement to such additions, removals and amendments.
You authorise Paymentship Services Providers to hold, receive, and disburse funds on Your behalf; and to instruct such Paymentship Services Providers as to how and when funds are transferred to You. You also authorise us to designate which Paymentship Services Providers may hold settlement funds, on deposit and in trust, pending transfer of funds to You in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. A clearing account through which funds are settled will be maintained by a Paymentship Services Provider, and transfers to You from this account will be a full and final payment by the Paymentship Services Provider to You.

Credit Card Acceptance

When accepting payment card payments, You must comply with all Network Rules applicable to merchants, including the Network Rules provided by Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. These Network Rules state that You may only accept payment using payment cards for bona fide legal commercial transactions, may only use payment network trademarks or service marks consistent with the Network Rules, and may not discriminate by card type or charge surcharges for acceptance of payment cards. The payment card networks may amend the Network Rules at any time without notice to You, and Paymentship reserves the right to change the Paymentship Services for payment card processing at any time to comply with the Network Rules. We may share the information You provide to us that we use to identify the nature of the products or services with Services Providers, including assigning Your business activities to a particular payment network merchant category code (MCC). Customers typically raise payment card network Disputes (i.e. chargebacks) when a merchant fails to provide the product or service to the Customer, or where the payment card account holder did not authorise the Charge. High chargeback rates (typically those exceeding 1%) may result in Your inability to use the Paymentship Services.
When You accept payment card Transactions, Network Rules specifically prohibit You from (I) providing cash refunds for a Charge on a credit card, unless required by Laws, (II) accepting cash, its equivalent, or any other item of value for a Refund, (III) acting as a payment intermediary or aggregator, or otherwise reselling Paymentship Services on behalf of others, (IV) submitting what You believe or know to be a fraudulent Charge, or (V) using Paymentship Services in a manner that is an abuse of Services Providers’ networks or a violation of Network Rules. If You misuse the Paymentship Services for payment card transactions or engage in activity the payment card networks identify as damaging to their brand, or if we are required to do so by Network Rules, we may submit information about You, Representatives, Principals, beneficial owners and other individuals associated with Your Paymentship Account to the MATCH terminated merchant listing maintained by MasterCard and accessed and updated by Visa and American Express, or to the Consortium Merchant Negative File maintained by Discover. Addition to one of these lists may result in Your inability to accept payments from payment cards. You understand and consent to our sharing this information and to the listing itself, and You will fully reimburse us for any losses we incur from third-party claims, and You waive Your rights to bring any direct claims against us that result from such reporting.

Refunds

Paymentship may issue refunds on Your behalf in its sole discretion in response to end-user inquiries or if Paymentship determines that the payment is fraudulent, was submitted by a non-verified user, or if it is an otherwise illegal transaction. If Paymentship fails to receive the appropriate confirmation from You or if an end user inquires about any transaction, Paymentship will contact You for more information and/or to confirm whether the goods or services were actually delivered to the end user. All notifications will be sent to the email address that You provide to Paymentship. If You do not adequately respond to Paymentship within three (3) days of Paymentship’s request, Paymentship may issue a refund to the end user without further notice. For all refunds processed, You shall be responsible to reimburse Paymentship for all Refund Costs as detailed in Section 3.(C.)(c.) of this Agreement.

Rolling Reserve and other Risk Measures

Paymentship may implement a “Rolling Reserve” to mitigate the risk of fraud, chargebacks or any other applicable risks. The Rolling Reserve rate shall initially be set to 5% of the gross transaction amount. Paymentship may change the amount of the Rolling Reserve depending on the transaction history and risks associated with Your account. You irrevocably authorize Paymentship to deduct from the Rolling Reserve or any payout owed to You the amount necessary to cover Refund Costs, chargebacks, amounts for fraud, or other amounts due to: Paymentship; any payment provider; MasterCard, VISA, other card networks, and related corporations (collectively, the “Corporations”); or penalties based on Your violation of any of the respective party’s terms of service. Paymentship will pay out the remainder of the Rolling Reserve to You on a monthly basis beginning six (6) months after the month in which the revenues were processed.
If Paymentship, in its sole discretion, determines that the measures in Section 3.(H.)(a. are insufficient to address the high level of risk with Your account, Paymentship may take further reasonable actions it deems are necessary regarding Your account, including requesting additional collateral from You such as a letter of credit or personal guaranty.

Fraud and Chargebacks

Paymentship will not be obligated to pay for any fraudulent actions generated by any person, bot, automated program, or similar device on Brick, PayAlto, Mobiamo, SpiderPipe Basic, SpiderPipe Advanced, MINT, Offerwall or any other Paymentship product, where it is not expressly stated that the fraud is covered, in connection with any payment collected by Paymentship, as reasonably determined by Paymentship. You are solely liable to Paymentship for the full amount of all chargebacks plus associated fees, fines, expenses or penalties (including those assessed by the Corporations or any payment provider). Paymentship may recover these amounts by debiting Your Rolling Reserve account or setting off any amount owed to You. If Paymentship determines in its reasonable discretion that a chargeback is likely for any transaction, Paymentship may withhold the amount of a transaction until the expiration of the period during which the end user may dispute the transaction, the chargeback is processed, or Paymentship determines that a chargeback will not occur. Additional restrictions, fees, penalties, or fines may apply if Paymentship, the Corporations, or any payment provider determines that You are incurring excessive chargebacks. Excessive chargebacks may result in changes to the Rolling Reserve terms, Revenue Share, holds on payouts to You, suspension of the Paymentship Services, or termination of this Agreement.
You authorize Paymentship to contest any chargebacks (or any subsequent appeals thereof) against third parties on behalf of You, if Paymentship chooses to do so in its sole discretion. This provision applies so long as Paymentship has an interest in the chargeback even if any of the following events occurs to You including but not limited to: the filing of or commencement of bankruptcy proceeding or insolvency whether voluntary or involuntary, the dissolution of its entity, or the liquidation of Your assets. You agree to cooperate and provide all information that Paymentship requests from You for the purposes of investigating and/or contesting a chargeback. Paymentship will send such requests to the email address that You provide to Paymentship and You must provide a full response to the request within fourteen (14) days, unless another timeframe is specified in the request. If You do not meet these requirements, You shall nonetheless be responsible for all costs or losses that Paymentship incurs as a result of Your failure to comply with this section, in addition to the chargeback amounts plus associated fees, fines, expenses or penalties (including those assessed by the Corporations or any payment provider). Paymentship assumes no liability for the resolution of any chargeback case.
You acknowledge and agree that notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement for any reason, Paymentship shall remain entitled to contest and recover chargebacks from You (and, where if relevant, from any party who has provided Paymentship with a guarantee or security relating to Your obligations under this Agreement) that occur in relation to transactions effected during the term of this Agreement.

SECTION 4: DATA PROTECTION, SECURITY COMPLIANCE & PRIVACY
