AFFINIPAY SERVICES AGREEMENT

Effective Date: 29th August, 2022

This AffiniPay Services Agreement (this “Agreement”) is a legal agreement 
between you (“Customer,” “you” or “your”) and AffiniPay, LLC (d/b/a LawPay,
CPACharge, ClientPay, ClientCredit, and MedPay) (“AffiniPay,” “we,” “our” or
“us”). As used in this Agreement, the “Service” and the “Services” refers to
AffiniPay’s payment processing services, as well as our website, any software,
programs, documentation, tools, hardware, internet-based services, components,
and any updates (including software maintenance, service information, help
content, bug fixes or maintenance releases) thereto provided to you by
AffiniPay, directly or indirectly. To use the Services, you must agree to all
the terms of this Agreement.

This Agreement incorporates by reference all policies, notices, and other
content that appear on our website at www.affinipay.com (collectively, the
“Website”). You should specifically review the User Guide posted on our Website
(the “User's Guide”), which is hereby incorporated by reference and is made a
part of this Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the
meanings set forth in Appendix A.

 1. Your Relationship with AffiniPay and with Others

The Services allow you to receive payments by card and bank transfer from
persons or entities (“Purchasers”) who wish to pay you for goods, services,
deposits or other transactions authorized by Network Rules. Neither AffiniPay,
nor any Bank, is a party to these transactions.

For payments by card, AffiniPay initiates the payment process by providing
information, directly or indirectly, to the Networks. The Bank is obligated to
pay you under both (a) the provisions of its agreement with AffiniPay, and (b)
Network Rules that make the Bank responsible for settling with you as a
merchant. For payments by bank transfer, AffiniPay initiates the Automated
Clearing House (“ACH”) payment process by providing information to the Bank
through the National Automated Clearing House Association (“NACHA”).

You acknowledge and agree that, from time to time, another person or entity may
submit or modify transactions on your behalf, including, without limitation,
owners, principals, employees, officers, accountants or other designated third
parties. Such a person or entity is referred to herein as an “Account
Administrator.” You agree that all actions of an Account Administrator will be
deemed to be your actions under this Agreement, and you accept full
responsibility and liability for any and all acts and/or omissions of an Account
Administrator.

 2. Limitations on AffiniPay’s and Others’ Responsibility

Use of our Services in no way represents any endorsement by AffiniPay or any
Network, of any user's existence, legitimacy, ability, policies, practices, or
beliefs. AffiniPay does not have control of, or liability for, goods or services
that are paid for via the Services.

 3. Our Fees

AffiniPay charges transaction processing fees to you for using the Services, as
well as certain other fees, as set forth on the Pricing Addendum attached hereto
as Appendix B, which is a part of this Agreement. These fees (the “Fees”) are
debited from your bank account(s) or netted against other funds due to you, but
you agree to pay the Fees regardless of whether there are funds due to you or
there is sufficient money in your bank account for us to debit. Subject to the
terms of this Agreement, Network Rules, and Law, we reserve the right to change
our Fees at any time upon notice to you. By continuing to use the Services, you
consent to the change in Fees. To withdraw your consent, you must close your
Account.

 4. E-Sign Disclosure and Consent
     1. Consent to Electronic Disclosures and Notices. By registering for an
        AffiniPay account, you agree and consent to receive electronically all
        communications, agreements, documents, notices and disclosures
        (collectively, “Communications”) that we provide in connection with your
        AffiniPay Account and your use of the Services. You also agree that your
        electronic consent will have the same legal effect as a physical
        signature.
     2. Methods of Delivery. You agree that AffiniPay can provide Communications
        regarding the Services to you through our Website, or by sending
        Communications to the email or physical addresses identified in your
        Account. Communications may include notifications about your Account,
        changes to the Services, or other information we are required to provide
        to you. You also agree that electronic delivery of a Communication has
        the same legal effect as if we provided you with a physical copy. We
        will consider a Communication to have been received by you within 24
        hours of the time a Communication is either posted to our Website or
        emailed to you.
     3. Requirements for Delivery. You will need a computer or mobile device,
        Internet connectivity, and an updated browser to access the Website and
        review the Communications provided to you. If you are having problems
        viewing or accessing any Communications, please contact us and we can
        find another means of delivery.
     4. Text Messages. You authorize us to provide Communications to you via
        text message to allow us to verify your or your representative’s
        authority to use the Services (such as through two-step verification),
        and to provide you with other time-sensitive notifications regarding the
        Services. Standard text or data charges may apply to such
        Communications. Where offered, you may disable text message
        notifications by following instructions provided in the message.
        However, by disabling text messaging, you may be disabling important
        security controls relating to the Services and may increase your risk of
        loss.

 5. Compliance with Law; Prohibited Businesses and Activities. You must comply
    with all Laws and Network Rules in your use of the Services. You may not use
    the Services to enable any person (including you) to operate or otherwise
    benefit any activities AffiniPay has identified as a prohibited business or
    activity (collectively, “Prohibited Businesses”), as posted on our Website
    from time to time. Prohibited Businesses include use of the Services for
    personal, family or household purposes or in or for the benefit of a
    country, organization, entity, or person embargoed or blocked by the United
    States government, including those on sanctions lists identified by the
    United States Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC). Please review the list
    of Prohibited Businesses thoroughly before registering for and opening an
    Account. If you are uncertain whether a category of business or activity is
    prohibited or have questions about how these restrictions apply to you,
    please contact us. We may add to or update the Prohibited Business List at
    any time. In addition, you may not allow, and may not allow others to: (a)
    access or attempt to access non-public AffiniPay systems or Sensitive Data;
    (b) copy, reproduce, republish, upload, post, transmit, resell, or
    distribute in any way, any Sensitive Data, content, or any part of the
    Services or our Website except as expressly permitted by this Agreement and
    Law; (c) act as master merchant, payment facilitator, service bureau or
    pass-through agent for the Services on behalf of any other person or entity;
    (d) transfer any rights granted to you under this Agreement; (e) work around
    any of the technical limitations of the Services or enable functionality
    that is disabled or prohibited; (f) reverse engineer or attempt to reverse
    engineer the Services except as expressly permitted by Law; (g) perform or
    attempt to perform any actions that would interfere with the normal
    operation of the Services or affect use of the Services by our other users;
    or (h) impose an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on the
    Services.
 6. Your License

AffiniPay grants you a limited, non-exclusive, revocable, non-transferable
license, without the right to sublicense, to electronically access and use the
Services and API solely to for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement.

You may not, nor may you permit any third party to, do any of the following: (a)
access or monitor any material or information on any AffiniPay system using any
manual process or robot, spider, scraper, or other automated means; (b) alter,
modify, create derivative works, publicly display, republish, upload, post,
transmit, resell or distribute in any way material or information from
AffiniPay; (c) permit any third party to use and benefit from the Services via a
rental, lease, timesharing, service bureau or other arrangement; or (d) perform
or attempt to perform any actions that would interfere with the proper working
of otherwise use the Services except as expressly allowed under this Agreement.

 7. Our Intellectual Property Rights

We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you in this Agreement. The
Services are protected by copyright, trade secret and other intellectual
property Laws. AffiniPay owns the title, copyright and other worldwide
intellectual property rights in the Services and all copies of the Services.
This Agreement does not grant you any rights to AffiniPay’s trademarks or
service marks, nor may you remove, obscure, or alter any of AffiniPay’s
trademarks or service marks included in the Services.

You may choose to, or we may invite you to, submit comments or ideas about the
Services, including about how to improve the Services or our products
(“Feedback”). By submitting Feedback, you agree that your disclosure is
gratuitous, unsolicited and without restriction and will not place AffiniPay
under any fiduciary or other obligation, and that we are free to use the
Feedback without any additional compensation to you, and/or to disclose the
Feedback on a non-confidential basis or otherwise to anyone. You further
acknowledge that, by acceptance of your submission, AffiniPay does not waive any
rights to use similar or related ideas previously known to AffiniPay, or
developed by its employees, or obtained from sources other than you.

 8. Privacy Policy

By accepting this Agreement, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and
accepted our Privacy Policy.

 9. Security
     1. AffiniPay Security. AffiniPay represents and warrants that it is a
        certified PCI Level 1 service provider and will comply with the
        applicable provisions of the PCI-DSS, and AffiniPay will provide you
        with its PCI-DSS Attestation of Compliance upon request. You acknowledge
        and agree that User Data and Sensitive Data is transmitted with the
        understanding that any security measures we provide may not be
        appropriate or adequate for your specific business, and you agree to
        implement security controls that meet your specific requirements. 
     2. Customer Security. You are solely responsible for the security of any
        Sensitive Data in your possession, or that you are otherwise authorized
        to access or handle. You will comply with applicable Security Standards
        when handling or maintaining Sensitive Data, and will provide evidence
        of your compliance to us upon our request. If you do not provide
        evidence of such compliance to our satisfaction, we may suspend your
        Account or terminate this Agreement. You will notify us within 24 hours
        if you have any reason to believe that there has been a security breach,
        leak, loss, or compromise of Sensitive Data on your systems or the
        systems of parties acting as your vendor (a “Data Incident”). In the
        event of any Data Incident (whether reported by you or otherwise), we
        may require you to permit a third-party auditor approved by us to
        conduct a security audit of your systems and facilities, and you must
        fully cooperate with any requests for information or assistance that the
        auditor makes to you as part of the security audit. The auditor will
        issue a report to us, which we may share with Networks and Banks. In our
        sole discretion, we may take any action, including suspension of your
        Account, to maintain the integrity and security of the Services, or to
        prevent harm to you, us, Banks, Networks, Purchasers, or other third
        parties. You waive any right to make a claim against us for losses you
        incur that may result from such actions we may take to prevent such
        harm.
     3. Confidentiality. AffiniPay will only use User Data to perform the
        Services or as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, by other
        agreements between you and us, or as otherwise directed or authorized by
        you. You will protect all Sensitive Data you receive through the
        Services, and you may not disclose or distribute any such Sensitive
        Data, and you will only use such Sensitive Data in conjunction with the
        Services and as permitted by this Agreement or by other agreements
        between you and us. 

 10. Registering for Use of Payment Processing Services

     You must register with AffiniPay to use the Services. To register, you
     provide information, including email address and a self-selected password,
     in order to create an AffiniPay account (“Account”). You are responsible
     for maintaining the secrecy and security of your Account access credentials
     and for any use of or action taken under them. We also offer an application
     programming interface (the “API”) that allows you to retrieve information
     from, or submit requests to, AffiniPay. When you register for an Account,
     you may be asked for financial information, or information we use to
     identify you, your representatives, principals, officers, directors,
     managers, owners, beneficial owners, and other persons or entities
     associated with your Account. We may share information about your AffiniPay
     Account with Networks, Banks, and other service providers, or use such
     information on our own behalf, in order to verify your eligibility to use
     the Services, establish any necessary accounts or credit with Networks and
     Banks, monitor Charges and other activity, and conduct risk management and
     compliance reviews. We will review and may conduct further intermittent
     reviews of your Account information to determine that you are eligible to
     use the Services. You authorize us and our Affiliates to obtain from third
     parties financial and credit information relating to you in connection with
     our determination whether to accept this Agreement and our continuing
     evaluation of your financial and credit status.

 11. Additional Terms

Your use of the Services may be subject to additional terms that apply between
you and one or more of AffiniPay, an AffiniPay affiliate, and a Bank (the
“Additional Terms”). The current Additional Terms are provided in Appendix C. By
using the Services, you agree to the applicable Additional Terms, including
those that separately bind you with processors, Networks and/or Banks.
Additionally, a Bank or Network may enforce the terms of this Agreement directly
against you. We may add or remove Banks and Networks at any time. The Additional
Terms may also be amended from time to time. Your continuing use of the Services
constitutes your consent and agreement to such additions, removals and
amendments, and your use of any new Services constitutes your consent to any
applicable Additional Terms relating to those Services.

 12. Security Interest
      1. Clearing Funds. All funds resulting from Charges are held in pooled
         clearing accounts (the “Clearing Accounts”) with our banking partners.
         We will settle funds to and from the Clearing Accounts in the manner
         described in this Agreement; however, you have no rights to the
         Clearing Accounts or to any funds held in the Clearing Accounts, you
         are not entitled to draw funds from the Clearing Accounts, and you will
         not receive interest from funds maintained in the Clearing Accounts.
      2. Reserves. We may withhold funds by temporarily suspending or delaying
         payouts to you and/or designate an amount of funds that you must
         maintain in bank accounts associated with your Account or in a separate
         reserve account with a Bank (a “Reserve”) to secure the performance of
         your obligations to us. We may require a Reserve for any reason related
         to your use of the Services. The Reserve will be in an amount as
         reasonably determined by us to cover potential losses relating to your
         Account. We may raise, reduce or remove the Reserve at any time, in our
         sole discretion, based on your payment history, a credit review, or
         otherwise as we, Banks, or our processing partners may determine or
         require. We may fund the Reserve from any funding source associated
         with your Account, including any funds due to you, or available in your
         bank account.
      3. Security Interests. You grant us a lien and security interest in all
         Reserves and funds for transactions that we process for you, including
         funds that we deposit into your Settlement Accounts, as well as funds
         held in any other bank accounts to which such transaction funds are
         deposited or transferred. This means that if you have not paid funds
         that you owe to us, your Purchasers, or to any of our affiliates, we
         have a right superior to the rights of any of your other creditors to
         seize or withhold funds owed to you for transactions that we process
         through the Services, and to debit or withdraw funds from any bank
         account associated with your Account (including your Settlement
         Accounts). Upon our request, you will execute and deliver any documents
         and pay any associated fees we consider necessary to create, perfect,
         and maintain a security interest in such funds (such as the filing of a
         form UCC-1). Notwithstanding the foregoing, AffiniPay does not, and
         will not, take any lien or security interest in any Trust Accounts in
         which you are prohibited by Law or ethical codes of conduct enforced by
         your state bar association (if applicable) from granting any security
         interest.
      4. Collection and Set-Off Rights. You agree to pay all amounts owed to us
         on demand. Your failure to pay amounts owed to us under this Agreement
         is a breach and you will be liable for any costs we incur during
         collection in addition to the amount you owe. Collection costs may
         include, attorneys’ fees and expenses, costs of any arbitration or
         court proceeding, collection agency fees, any applicable interest, and
         any other related costs. Where possible, we will first attempt to
         collect or set-off amounts owed to us from balances in your Accounts
         from your use of the Services or from funds that we hold in Reserve.
         However, we may collect any amounts you owe us under this Agreement by
         deducting or setting-off amounts that you owe from the AffiniPay
         account balance (or debiting the Settlement Account for such AffiniPay
         account) for any AffiniPay account that we determine, acting
         reasonably, is associated with your Account. Similarly, we may deduct
         or set-off amounts from your Account balance (or debit your Settlement
         Accounts) in order to collect amounts owed to us in relation to such
         associated AffiniPay accounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we will
         not, in any event, debit a Trust Account.
      5. Guarantees. We may require a personal or other guarantee (a
         “Guarantee”) from your principal, owner, or other guarantor, in the
         form attached hereto as Appendix D. A Guarantee consists of a legally
         binding promise by an individual or an entity to pay any amounts the
         user owes in the event that you are unable to pay. Unless we choose, in
         our sole discretion, to waive the Guarantee requirement, if you are
         unable to provide a Guarantee, then you will not be permitted to use
         the Services.

 13. Termination
      1. Termination by AffiniPay. We may terminate this Agreement and close
         your Account for any reason or no reason at any time upon notice to
         you. We may also suspend the Services and instruct the Bank to suspend
         access to your Account (including the funds in your Account) if you (i)
         have violated the terms of the AffiniPay’s policies or this Agreement,
         (ii) pose an unacceptable credit or fraud risk to us, or (iii) provide
         any false, incomplete, inaccurate, or misleading information or
         otherwise engage in fraudulent or illegal conduct.
      2. Termination by Customer. You may terminate this Agreement by closing
         your Account at any time upon thirty days’ notice to us. When you close
         your Account, any pending transactions will be cancelled. Any funds
         that the Bank holding in custody for you at the time of closure, less
         any applicable Fees, will be paid out to you according to your payout
         schedule, assuming all payout-related authentication requirements have
         been fulfilled. If an investigation is pending at the time you close
         your Account, the Bank may hold your funds as described herein. If you
         are later determined to be entitled to some or all of the funds in
         dispute, the Bank will release those funds to you.
      3. Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated or your Account
         is closed, you agree: (i) to continue to be bound by this Agreement
         (except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement); (ii) to
         immediately stop using the Services and to remove all card logos from
         your website and wherever else they are displayed; (iii) that the
         licenses provided under this Agreement are terminated; (iv) that we
         reserve the right (but have no obligation) to delete all of your
         information and Payment Data in our possession; and (v) that we will
         not be liable to you or any third party for termination of access to
         the Services, deletion of your information or Payment Data, or export
         of your information or Payment Data. We will not be liable to you for
         compensation, reimbursement, or damages in connection with any
         termination or suspension of the Services. Any termination of this
         Agreement does not relieve you of any obligations to pay any Fees or
         costs accrued prior to the termination and any other amounts owed by
         you to us as provided in this Agreement.

 14. Indemnity

You will indemnify, defend and hold us and our banks, processors and partners
harmless (and our and their respective employees, directors, agents, affiliates
and representatives) from and against any and all claims, costs, losses,
damages, judgments, tax assessments, penalties, interest, and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of any claim, action, audit,
investigation, inquiry, or other proceeding instituted by a third party person
or entity that arises out of or relates to: (a) any actual or alleged breach of
your representations, warranties, or obligations set forth in this Agreement,
including any violation of our policies or the Network Rules; (b) your wrongful
or improper use of the Services; (c) any Charge submitted by you through the
Services (including the accuracy of any product information that you provide or
any claim or dispute arising out of products or services offered or sold by
you); (d) any Fees, Fines, Disputes, Refunds, Reversals, or any other liability
we incur that results from your use of the Services; (e) your violation of any
third-party right, including any right of privacy, publicity rights or
intellectual property rights; (f) your violation of any Laws; (g) any other
party's access and/or use of the Services with your unique username, password or
other appropriate security code; or (h) all fraudulent transactions related to
any Data Incident and all costs incurred by any indemnified party as a result of
such Data Incident.

 15. Representations and Warranties

By accepting the terms of this Agreement, you represent, warrant and agree that:
(a) you are eligible to register and use the Services and have the authority to
execute, and perform the obligations required by, this Agreement; (b) any
information you provide us about your business, products, or services is
accurate and complete; (c) any Charges represent a transaction for permitted

describes the transaction; (d) you will fulfill all of your obligations to your

 18. Disputes; Arbitration

If a Dispute of any kind arises, we want to understand and address your concerns
quickly and to your satisfaction. Please contact AffiniPay support with any
Dispute. If we cannot resolve your concerns, we agree to an informal Dispute
resolution process requiring individual arbitration.

You and AffiniPay agree to arbitrate all Disputes. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, (a) AffiniPay may choose to pursue a claim in court, or may assign
your account for collection, and the we or a collection agency may pursue in any
court of competent jurisdiction any claim that is strictly limited to the
collection of past due amounts and any interest or cost of collection permitted
by Law or this Agreement, and (b) each party will have a right to seek
injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of law.

ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE ONLY BE ON A INDIVIDUAL BASIS;
CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTIONS, AND
CONSOLIDATION WITH OTHER ARBITRATIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED, AND YOU ARE WAIVING
YOUR RIGHTS TO HAVE YOUR CASE DECIDED BY A JURY AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS
ACTION AGAINST AFFINIPAY. If any provision of this arbitration agreement is
found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be severed, and the
remaining arbitration terms will be enforced (but in no case will there be a
class arbitration). All Disputes will be resolved finally and exclusively by
binding individual arbitration with a single arbitrator administered by the
American Arbitration Association (www.adr.org) (“AAA”) according to this
provision and the applicable arbitration rules. A form for initiating
arbitration proceedings is available on the AAA's website at www.adr.org. The
Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, fully applies. Any arbitration
hearing relating to this Agreement will occur in Austin, Texas. You or AffiniPay
may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or based solely on
written submissions, which election will be binding on you and AffiniPay subject
to the arbitrator's discretion to require an in-person hearing, if the
circumstances warrant. Attendance at an in-person hearing may be made by
telephone by you or by AffiniPay, unless the arbitrator requires otherwise. The
arbitrator's award will be binding on the parties and may be entered as a
judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. Payment of all filing,
administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules, but if
you are unable to pay any of them, AffiniPay will pay them for you. In addition,
AffiniPay will reimburse all such filing, administration, and arbitrator fees
and costs for claims totaling less than $75,000 unless the arbitrator determines
the claims are frivolous. Likewise, AffiniPay will not seek its attorneys' fees
or costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines your claims or defenses
are frivolous. In the event the arbitrator determines the claims you assert in
the arbitration are frivolous, you agree to reimburse AffiniPay for all fees
associated with the arbitration paid by AffiniPay on your behalf that you
otherwise would be obligated to pay under the AAA's rules. For purposes of this
arbitration provision, references to you and AffiniPay also include respective
subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors, successors and
assigns as well as authorized users of the Services. Subject to, and without
waiver of, the arbitration provisions above, you agree that any judicial
proceedings will be brought in and you hereby consent to the exclusive
jurisdiction and venue in the state courts in Travis County, Texas, or federal
court for the Western District of Texas located in Travis County, Texas. 

 19. Governing Law

This Agreement and any Dispute will be governed by Texas law and/or applicable
federal law (including the Federal Arbitration Act) as applied to agreements
entered into and to be performed entirely within Texas, without regard to its
choice of law or conflicts of law principles that would require application of
law of a different jurisdiction.

 20. Limitation on Time to Initiate a Dispute.

Unless otherwise required by Law, you must commence any action or proceeding
relating to any Dispute within one (1) year after the occurrence of the event
giving rise to such Dispute.

 21. Assignment

Agreement, or operation of your Account to others without our prior written
consent, which may be granted or withheld at our sole discretion. If you wish to

assignee must agree to assume all of your rights and obligations owed by you
related to the assignment, and must agree to comply with the terms of this
Agreement. AffiniPay may assign this Agreement without your consent or any other
restriction. 

 22. No Agency; Third Party Services

to establish a partnership, joint venture, or other agency relationship between
you and us, or with any Network. Each party to this Agreement, and each Network,
is an independent contractor. Neither you nor we have the ability to bind a
third party to any contract or obligation, and neither party will represent that
you or we have such an ability.

We may reference or provide access to third-party services, products, and
promotions that use, integrate, or provide ancillary services to the Services
(“Third-Party Services”). These Third-Party Services are provided for your
convenience only and do not constitute our approval, endorsement, or
recommendation of any such Third-Party Services for you. You access and use any
Third-Party Services based on your own evaluation and at your own risk. You
understand that your use of any Third-Party Services is not governed by this
Agreement. If you decide to use any Third-Party Services, you will be
responsible for reviewing, understanding and accepting the terms and conditions
associated with such use. We expressly disclaim all responsibility and liability
for your use of any Third-Party Services. Please also remember that when you use
a Third-Party Services, our Privacy Policy is no longer in effect. Your use of a

subject to that Third-Party Service’s own terms of use and privacy policies.

You may automatically be enrolled in the “AffiniPay Network,” a group of
merchants, billers, banks, insurance companies, accounts payable vendors,
financing providers, and other payors. The AffiniPay Network allows Purchasers
to automate and accelerate payments to you using the AffiniPay Services, rather
than relying on paper checks. In order to allow payments via the AffiniPay
Network, AffiniPay may share your payment address and other relevant business
information with other AffiniPay Network members. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
AffiniPay may prohibit, or otherwise limit, participation in, the AffiniPay
Network for any reason or no reason. If you wish to opt-out of participation in
the AffiniPay Network, please contact us. Payments from Purchasers to you
through the AffiniPay Network may be made via virtual card, e-check, or other
method, and will be processed using the AffiniPay Services in accordance with
the terms and conditions of this Agreement. You acknowledge and agree that
payments made through the AffiniPay Network will be subject to the same Fees
(including processing fees and transaction fees) as other payments of the same
type (card or e-check, for example), as set forth in Appendix B, and you agree
to pay such Fees in accordance with Section 3, even if such payments could have
been made via another method (paper check, for example).

 23. Amendment

This Agreement and the Privacy Policy may be amended by AffiniPay upon notice to
you. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the terms of this Agreement or
the Privacy Policy must be amended pursuant to a change required by the Network
Rules or to comply with Law, such amendment may be effective sooner. AffiniPay
may change, delete, discontinue, or impose conditions on use of the Services by
posting such changes on the Website, via mail or email, or through other means
pursuant to which we deliver you Communications. Your use of the Services or API
after we publish any such changes on our Website or otherwise communicate such
changes to you, constitutes your acceptance of the terms of the modified
Agreement. You can access a copy of the current terms of this Agreement on our
Website at any time.

 24. Other Provisions

This Agreement and all policies and procedures that are incorporated by
reference constitute the entire agreement between you and AffiniPay for
provision and use of the Services. Except where expressly stated otherwise in a
writing executed between you and AffiniPay, this Agreement will prevail over any
conflicting policy or agreement for the provision or use of the Services. This
Agreement sets forth your exclusive remedies with respect to the Services. If
any provision or portion of this Agreement is held to be invalid or
unenforceable under Law, then it will be reformed and interpreted to accomplish
the objectives of such provision to the greatest extent possible, and all
remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

The rights and remedies of the parties under this Agreement are cumulative. The
failure of either party to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not
constitute a waiver of that party’s rights to subsequently enforce the
provision.

The heading titles preceding the text of Sections and Subsections included in
this Agreement are for convenience only and will not be deemed part of this
Agreement.  The use of the terms “including” or “include” will in all cases mean
“including, without limitation” or “include, without limitation” respectively. 
The word “or” is not exclusive. Reference to any person or entity includes their
successors and assigns to the extent such successions and assignments are
effective in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  References to a Law
means such Law as amended from time to time and includes any successor Law
thereto.  Unless the context requires otherwise, the use of the terms
“hereunder,” “hereof,” “hereto” and words of similar import will refer to this
Agreement as a whole and not to any particular Section, Subsection, paragraph or
clause of this Agreement.

of this Agreement will survive and remain in effect in accordance with its terms
upon the termination of this Agreement.

 2. DESCRIPTION OF THE SERVICE
    
    
    1.  PAYMENT PROCESSING
        
        Customer will be using the Services via the AffiniPay Platform.
        AffiniPay is representing Customer towards Processor with respect to
        Customer’s use of the Services and Processor may assume that AffiniPay
        is authorized and mandated by Customer to use the Services, submit
        Transactions on behalf of Customer and in accordance with Customer’s
        permissions and instructions which AffiniPay will obtain from Customer.
        
        Customer is obliged to ensure all data that Processor requests to be
        provided for a Transaction, including those needed for fraud checks, are
        provided. If Customer fails to provide the requested data with each
        Transaction, Processor may be forced under the Network Rules to suspend
        Transaction processing and/or Transactions may be refused by the
        relevant Network Owners or Acquiring Institutions. Processor may revise
        the required data needed to process Transactions from time to time by
        informing Customer via AffiniPay as needed to be able to process such
        Transaction and conduct fraud checks under applicable Network Rules.
        AffiniPay is required to (i) access Transaction level data to provide
        support to Customer at the level of individual Transactions and (ii)
        technically manage user settings of Customer with respect to the
        Services on Customer’s behalf (e.g. 3D Secure or fraud control
        settings).
    
    
    2.  CUSTOMER REGISTRATION AND KYC CHECK
        
        In order to enable Processor to comply with anti-terrorism, financial
        services and other applicable laws and regulations and KYC (‘Know Your
        Customer’) requirements imposed by the Network Owners and Acquiring
        Institutions, Customer must when entering into the Customer Agreement
        and thereafter upon Processor’s request provide certain information
        about itself and its activities (the “Registration Information”).
        Customer warrants unconditionally that all Registration Information it
        provides is correct and up to date.
        
        Customer will provide Processor with at least five days’ prior written
        notice via AffiniPay of any change of the Registration Information.
        Customer will upon request from Processor provide such additional
        information and supporting documentation as Processor may reasonably
        determine to need to ensure compliance with applicable laws and
        regulations and Network Owner and Acquiring Institution KYC
        requirements. Customer agrees that Processor may run further checks on
        Customer’s identity, creditworthiness and background by contacting and
        consulting relevant registries, government authorities and Customer
        relations. Processor will process Customer’s Registration Information in
        accordance with its Privacy Statement (available on www.adyen.com).
        
        Processor’s acceptance of Customer as user of the Services and the
        relevant Payment Methods is strictly personal and limited to the use by
        Customer of the Services for payment of Customer’s own products and
        services. Customer may not use the Services to facilitate the payment
        for products or services sold by third parties and therefore may not
        resell the Services to third parties. Customer will only use the
        Services in the pursuit of its trade, business, craft or profession.
        
        Support for each Payment Method is subject to acceptance by the relevant
        Network Owner or Acquiring Institution used by the Network Owner, which
        such Acquiring Institution or Network Owner may withhold or withdraw in
        its discretion at any time. Customer hereby authorizes Processor to
        submit Registration Information received from Customer to the relevant
        Network Owners and Acquiring Institutions to obtain permission for
        providing access to their Payment Methods for Customer.
    
    
    3.  PAYMENT METHOD SUPPORT
        
        Supported Payment Methods as part of the Services may change from time
        to time. Processor will give at least 1 month notice (through AffiniPay)
        of any discontinued or changed support of any Payment Method, unless
        this is not reasonably possible given the cause for this decision.
        Processor will use its reasonable endeavors to offer an alternative for
        any discontinued Payment Method to Customer.
        
        Customer understands that Acquiring Institutions and/or Network Owners
        may cancel certain Payment Methods, change the characteristics thereof
        or change the acceptance criteria under which they make them available.
        As a consequence, Processor may be forced to block Customer from further
        use of a Payment Method or impose additional restrictions or conditions
        on its continued use as a consequence of such decisions of the relevant
        Acquiring Institution and/or Network Owner. Where possible Processor
        will use its reasonable efforts to give Customer prior notice (through
        the AffiniPay) of any such change or cancellation with respect to a
        Payment Method.
    
    
    4.  3D SECURE
        
        Processor will as part of the Services support 3D Secure authentication
        where supported by the relevant Network Owner and/or third party
        Acquiring Institution.
    
    
    5.  PAYMENT CURRENCY
        
        Processor will have the right to offer a Payer the option to use a
        different currency than the Order Currency, in which case Customer will
        still always receive Settlement of the Transaction amount in the Order
        Currency (except in case another currency is agreed or Customer does not
        make a bank account available for Settlement in the Order Currency).
    
    
    6.  FRAUD CONTROL
        
        All Transactions processed as part of the Services will be screened by
        Processor’s Fraud Control Tool, which performs a number of checks on a
        Transaction and attaches a resulting total score to the Transaction,
        which represents the likelihood of the Transaction being fraudulent. The
        Fraud Control Tool does not guarantee the prevention of fraudulent
        Transactions, nor against resulting Chargebacks or fines. Regardless of
        the resulting total score, Transactions may be fraudulent or
        non-fraudulent. AffiniPay will technically manage the settings of the
        Fraud Control Tool on behalf of Customer. In addition, Processor
        reserves the right to cancel Transactions that it has reasonable grounds
        to suspect to be fraudulent or involving other criminal activities, even
        if the Fraud Control Tool failed to block the Transaction.
    
    
    7.  SETTLEMENT
        
        Funds from a Payer charged for the validly processed Transactions of
        Customer are settled by the relevant Acquiring Institution or the
        Network Owner to the account(s) held by Processor. The funds Processor
        receives from payment service users or via another payment service
        provider and held in the payment processing account(s) by Processor are
        safeguarded in accordance with the safeguarding requirements of The
        Dutch Central Bank (De Nederlandsche Bank). Processor will subsequently
        settle received funds directly to Customer - withholding from the
        received funds the fees agreed between AffiniPay and Customer – who is
        the creditor of the received funds and holds sole power of disposition
        over such funds. The Settlement is based on the binding Customers’
        Settlement instructions which are submitted by AffiniPay on behalf of
        Customer via the AffiniPay Platform. AffiniPay is under no circumstances
        entitled to make any individual instructions (other than Settlement
        instructions described in the previous sentence) to Processor regarding
        the settlement of the funds.
        
        Processor is only obliged to provide Settlement of Transactions for
        which it has received funds from the Acquiring Institution or the
        Network Owner. It is Customer's responsibility to evaluate if the
        conditions imposed by the Payment Methods for Settlement (as
        communicated from time to time by through the AffiniPay) are acceptable
        to Customer. This is specifically relevant for certain Payment Methods
        that are not monitored and regulated by governmental financial services
        authorities, such as, but not limited to, non-Card Network related
        prepaid cards and short message service (SMS) and interactive voice
        response (IVR) payments. Customer understands and agrees that Processor
        will not compensate Customer for late or non-performance, insolvency or
        bankruptcy of the Acquiring Institution or Network Owner due to which
        Customer receives late Settlement or no Settlement at all for processed
        Transactions.
        
        Processor reserves the right to withhold Settlement of Transactions if
        they are suspected to be fraudulent, related to illegal activities or
        likely to become subject to a Chargeback by Processor and/or the
        relevant Acquiring Institution and/or Network Owner, until satisfactory
        completion of Processor's investigation, that of the relevant Acquiring
        Institution or Network Owner or that of a third party nominated by any
        of these parties. Customer will give its full co- operation to any such
        investigation.
        
        No interest will be due over amounts held by Processor prior to
        Settlement of such funds to Customer.
    
    
    8.  REQUIRED DATA
        
        Customer will from time to time upon request of Processor provide all
        required information regarding the then current actual or expected
        Delivery Dates for processed Transactions and estimates for the average
        time between Transaction Authorization and the related Delivery Date.
        Further, upon Processor’s request, Customer will provide Processor all
        requested information on Customer’s then -current ability to provide
        Customer Products and Services it sells by means of the Services, its
        financial status, solvency and liquidity.
    
    
    9.  CUSTOMER OBLIGATIONS AND RESTRICTIONS
        
        Customer may only use the Services for payment of those Customer
        Products and Services which Customer agreed with AffiniPay to be offered
        through the AffiniPay Platform. Customer will not use the Services for
        the payment of Customer Products and/or Customer Services (i) where it
        is illegal to offer or provide these to or from the relevant country
        and/or (ii) which are stated in Processor's Prohibited and Restricted
        Products and Services List which is set forth on www.adyen.com (provided
        that, notwithstanding the linked Prohibited and Restricted Products and
        Services List, the categories “bankruptcy lawyers”, “Charities”,
        “Private Medical Practices and eDoctors”, “PACs”, “other
        Political/Charitable Donations” are Customer Products and/or Customer
        Services for which a waiver was granted and which are therefore
        allowed). This list may be updated in Processor’s discretion where
        needed to ensure legal compliance, compliance to Network Rules, prevent
        high levels of Chargebacks and/or to reduce exposure to potentially
        fraudulent or illegal transactions. Customer will be informed of such
        updates by AffiniPay. Where a published change affects a significant
        portion of Customer’s Product or Services, Customer may terminate the
        Customer Agreement by giving written notice to Processor (via
        AffiniPay). Processors´ acceptance of Customer as customer should not be
        
        interpreted as an advice or opinion of Processor as to the legality of
        Customer’s Products and Services and/or of Customer’s intended use of
        the Services therefore.
        
        The Services of Processor should not be used (and Transactions may not
        be submitted for processing) for prepaying Customer Products and
        Services for which the Delivery Date is in part or in whole more than 12
        months after the date the Transaction is submitted for processing. This
        can make Transactions more likely to be subject to Chargebacks.
    
    
    10. WARNING – FINES FROM NETWORK OWNERS
        
        For violations of certain key requirements under the Network Rules by
        Customers, some Network Owners (and in particular the Card Networks) may
        levy significant fines. The Network Owners do this to protect Payers,
        Customers and providers of the Payment Methods collectively against
        misuse, fraud, illegal activities, breach of applicable laws,
        reputational damage and excessive costs. Key examples of Network Rules
        that are subject to such fines: (i) using the Payment Method for other
        Customer Products and Services than for which Customer received express
        authorization to use it from AffiniPay; (ii) using the Payment Method
        for Customer Products and Services which are violating applicable laws;
        (iii) using the Payment Method for selling Customer Products and
        Services for which the Network Owner explicitly prohibited its use (e.g.
        adult content, drugs, arms, gambling); (iv) using the Payment Method for
        the benefit of a third party / reselling the use of the Payment Method
        to a third party (the authorization for Customer to use a Payment Method
        is strictly personal); (v) percentage of Transactions of a Customer
        which is subject to a Chargeback is above the applicable acceptable
        level; (vi) breaches of security and confidentiality obligations with
        respect to Payment Details (see clauses 4.1 and 4.3 for more information
        on this); or (vii) fraudulent, misleading activities of which Payers are
        the victim.
        
        Customer is strongly advised to regularly review the then current
        Network Rules (made available via AffiniPay) and relevant changes to
        applicable laws as applicable to its Customer Products and Services and
        business practices to ensure compliance to applicable Network Rules.
        Where Customer finds the Network Rules (including Fine possibility) to
        be unacceptable, Customer is free at any point in time to stop using the
        relevant Payment Method (the Network Rules and these terms remain
        applicable to previously processed Transactions for Customer).
        
        Where Processor becomes aware of and/or receives any notice of a
        potential exposure to a Fine related to any Customer behavior, Customer
        will, upon Processor’s request, provide all reasonable co-operation to
        help investigate the relevant circumstances and remedy the relevant
        violation, notwithstanding all other rights and remedies of Processor in
        such situation as per these Terms and Conditions. Where possible
        Processor will share relevant feedback received by Customer with the
        Acquiring Institution/Network Owner handling the potential Fine so it
        can be taken into consideration by the Acquiring Institution / Network
        Owner.
    
    
    11. TAXES
        
        Customer agrees to defend, hold harmless and indemnify Processor from
        and against any VAT, turnover and other taxes or levies including
        penalties, interests, surcharges ("Taxes") due on any product or service
        of Customer or Affi niPay (including but not limited to any
        Transactions, Customer Products and Customer Services) and costs or
        damages related to such Taxes. Customer will (i) apply all reasonable
        efforts to ensure that Processor cannot be held liable for any Taxes and
        costs or damages related to such Taxes, (ii) will promptly inform
        Processor of any such liability and (iii) will provide Processor with
        all relevant information and documentation in that respect. Furthermore,
        Customer and AffiniPay shall be jointly and severally liable towards
        Processor for any such Taxes and costs or damages related to such Taxes.


 3. SET-OFF
    
    Without prejudice to any right to set-off which Processor may be entitled to
    as a matter of law, Processor may set-off any amounts due to Customer
    against any amounts owed or other liabilities of Customer, now or at any
    time hereafter due, owing or incurred by Customer to Processor under, in
    connection to, or pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and/or the Customer
    Agreement.


 4. INTEGRATION
    
    
    1. INTEGRATION VIA PARTNER
       
       Customer will integrate with the Payment Interface via the systems of
       AffiniPay and with the assistance of AffiniPay as agreed between Customer
       and AffiniPay. Processor is not responsible for such integration but will
       ensure the Payment Interface is available for use by AffiniPay for such
       purpose and will where needed provide second line support for such
       integration via AffiniPay.
    
    
    2. CHANGES TO SOFTWARE
       
       Processor reserves the right to change or amend the Software and the
       interface to it at any time, to provide Customer with a new version
       thereof, and/or to change the functionalities and characteristics of the
       Software. No changes will be implemented by Processor which materially
       reduce functionality of the Services which was explicitly committed to be
       provided under the Customer Agreement, except where this is made
       necessary by: (i) the need to follow generally accepted changes in
       industry standards, (ii) changes in applicable laws or Network Rules,
       (iii) need for increased security due to security risks identified by
       Processor or (iv) other reasonable grounds which warrant the reduction of
       functionality. 
    
    
    3. SECURITY OF PAYMENT DETAILS
       
       Customer guarantees not to copy, capture or intercept Payment Details
       such as credit card numbers, CVM Codes, ‘PIN’ codes that are provided by
       a Payer for payments to be processed via the Services. This rule is
       imposed by the Network Owners to protect Payers against misuse of their
       Payment Details (e.g. Card numbers) and is strictly enforced by the
       Network Owners, and a violation of this rule can lead to the application
       of significant fines by Network Owners. If Processor has reason to
       believe that Customer is copying, capturing or intercepting Payment
       Details, Processor has the right to suspend processing of Transactions
       and Settlement. Customer will fully indemnify and hold Processor harmless
       from any losses, claims (including applied fines by the Network Owners),
       costs or damage Processor incurs as a result of Customer’s breach of this
       obligation.


 5. CUSTOMER COMMUNICATIONS
    
    All first line communications with Customer regarding the use of the
    Services will run through AffiniPay. Processor will also inform Customers of
    relevant changes in applicable Network Rules, financial laws and regulations
    via AffiniPay.


 6. SECURITY AND COMPLIANCE
    
    Processor will take reasonable measures to provide a secure payment system
    and will keep its systems used to provide the Services certified in
    accordance with the PCI-DSS security standards.


 7. CHARGEBACKS AND REFUNDS
    
    
    1. CHARGEBACKS
       
       Customer will take all reasonable steps to ensure that Customer Products
       and Services are actually delivered in accordance with applicable Network
       Rules, laws and orders placed by a Payer, to avoid any Chargebacks. In
       case Processor has reasons to suspect that Customer is not delivering its
       Customer Services or Customer Product on or prior to the Delivery Dates
       used to calculate the Uncompleted Order Amount and/or if Processor has
       reason to suspect that Customer Products or Customer Services for which
       Processor processes Transactions are
       
       based on fraud, likely to cause high Chargeback volumes and/or illegal,
       Processor has the right to suspend Settlement of all related Transactions
       and/or block Authorizations until Processor has been given assurances to
       its satisfaction that the relevant Customer Products and Services are
       actually delivered in accordance with applicable laws and orders placed
       by a Payer.
    
    
    2. REFUNDS
       
       Refunds will be charged as a Transaction by Processor and a Refund fee
       can be applied by Processor after giving prior notice to Customer, if
       manual intervention is needed or additional costs are incurred by
       Processor to process such Refund. Processor will not execute a Refund
       (meaning the relevant sum will not be returned by Processor to the
       relevant Payer, directly or via the relevant Acquiring Institution /
       Network Owner) in case the funds for this cannot be subtracted from the
       next Settlement or are not funded otherwise. Refunds are not funded by
       Processor from its own means.


 8. PROPERTY RIGHTS
    
    The property rights in the Software and other materials and all other
    intellectual property rights related to the Services are owned by Processor
    and its licensors. The Customer Agreement does not transfer any intellectual
    property rights with respect thereto and only provides Customer a limited,
    non-exclusive and non-transferable license to use the Software and all other
    materials made available by Processor solely for the purpose of using the
    Services in accordance with these terms and the applicable usage
    instructions communicated to Customer via Processor website from time to
    time.


 9. CONFIDENTIALITY, PRIVACY AND COMPLIANCE
    
    
    1. CONFIDENTIALITY
       
       All information relating to Customer or to Processor and designated as
       being confidential, and all information not expressly designated as
       confidential but which should reasonably be deemed confidential by reason
       of its nature or content is considered “Confidential Information”. Each
       party remains the owner of all data made available to the other party.
       Each party undertakes to take all necessary steps to protect the
       confidential nature of all Confidential Information of the other party,
       agreeing, in particular:
       
       * to share Confidential Information solely with personnel and
         representatives of the parties (including AffiniPay) which have a need
         to have access to such information in order to exercise rights and
         obligations under the Customer Agreement; and
       * to refrain from making any Confidential Information available to any
         third party without the prior written consent of the other party except
         for Processor where necessary to perform the Services.
       
       The obligation to maintain confidentiality does not apply to information:
       
       * available to the general public;
       * disclosed to one of the parties by a third party without any obligation
         of confidentiality;
       * already in the possession of or known to one of the parties at the time
         of disclosure;
       * developed independently of the Confidential Information by the other
         party; or
       * if and to the extent to one of the parties and/or their employees are
         obliged under an act or by decision of a court or administrative
         authority to disclose such information.
       
       The obligation of confidentiality as described in this clause will remain
       in effect will remain in effect for a period of ten years following the
       termination or expiration of the Customer Agreement, regardless of the
       grounds for termination.
       
       The following data is to be considered confidential, without need for
       special mention:
       
       * all financial data;
       * any agreed Customer specific terms and conditions in the Customer
         Agreement, if applicable; and
       * all user manuals, guides and any Software relating to Processor’s
         products and services.
    
    
    2. PRIVACY
       
       Where Processor processes personal data while performing the Services it
       will act as data processor under the direction and responsibility of
       Customer and/or AffiniPay in accordance with EU General Data Protection
       Regulation 2016/679, including any successor thereof, and applicable
       Dutch privacy laws. Customer will comply with the personal data
       protection laws of Customer’s country of origin and of those countries in
       which Customer offers its goods and/or services from time to time, in
       particular when processing and sending personal data to Processor in the
       context of using the Services and submitting Transactions. Both Processor
       and Customer will implement appropriate measures to protect personal data
       against misuse. Processor will not use personal data processed by
       Processor for Customer under the Customer Agreement for any other purpose
       then providing the Services and complying with applicable laws and
       Network Rules.


 1. 1. USE OF SERVICES
       
       In accordance with Dutch laws on hacking and computer crime, Customer
       will only use the Services for the purposes as agreed herein and will
       specifically not perform or allow to be performed any actions detrimental
       to the security or performance of the Services without Processor’s prior
       written consent.


 2. DURATION AND CANCELLATION
    
    
    1. DURATION

       events or activities originating outside the systems of Processor (such
       as internet disturbances or malfunctions in third party systems), except
       in case such events were caused by the intent or gross negligence of
       Processor.
    
    
    2. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

    of the Customer Agreement, applicable laws and/or the Network Rules applying
    to the Payment Methods used by Customer.


 5. GENERAL PROVISIONS
    
    
    1. NULL PROVISIONS

       null and void or inapplicable, said provision will be deemed non-
       existent, and all other provisions of the Customer Agreement (including
       these Terms and Conditions) will remain applicable. The parties undertake
       to take all steps to eliminate the provision declared null and void
       and/or inapplicable and to replace the same with a provision approaching,

       null and/or inapplicable.

       force or effect unless expressly reduced to writing and repeated in the
       Customer Agreement, and all implied or prior representations, warranties
       and undertakings are, save to the extent expressly set out in the
       Customer Agreement, expressly excluded to the fullest extent permitted by

       Processor may revise these Terms and Conditions from time to time by
       giving at least 30 days written notice to Customer via AffiniPay. If the
       change has a material adverse impact on Customer and Customer does not
       agree to the change, Customer may terminate the Customer Agreement by
       giving at least one month written notice to Processor (such termination
       notice to be sent at the latest 60 days after Customer received notice of
       the change). Customer is not entitled to object to and will not have the
       rights set out in this clause for any change which Processor implements
       in order to comply with applicable law, regulations or requirements
       imposed by the relevant Acquiring Institutions and/or Network Owners or
       financial regulators. For such imposed changes shorter notice periods may
       be applied by Processor as is needed to comply with the relevant
       requirement.
    
    
    4. ONLINE CONTRACTING – WRITTEN CONFIRMATION
       
       If Customer has entered into the Customer Agreement with Processor via
       AffiniPay’s website or via any other online means, Processor may at any
       time request that Customer re-confirms its acceptance of the terms of the
       Customer Agreement (including these Terms and Conditions) by means of a
       written document signed by an authorized representative of Customer. If
       Customer does not comply with such request within five working days after
       receiving a request by Processor to do so (which request may be issued to
       Customer via the contact email address submitted by Customer when
       concluding the Customer Agreement), Processor reserves the right to
       suspend all or part of the Services until Customer has complied with such
       request.
