These Terms may only be amended with the mutual written consent of both parties via a change order to this Agreement.

6) Merchant Liability.

‍a) You understand and agree that BlazePay is not responsible for the goods or services that you sell using the BlazePay Services. You are responsible for, among other things, verifying your customers’ identity with appropriate state-endorsed identification, and likewise, verifying that your customers meet the state-mandated age requirement. You are responsible for, among other things, verifying your customers’ identity with appropriate state-endorsed identification, and likewise, verifying that your customers meet the state-mandated age requirement. Each consumer to whom you sell to is responsible for paying for the goods and services that you provide and you, as the merchant, are responsible for providing all customer service related to those goods and services. You release and hold harmless BlazePay and our officers, directors, agents, employees, and suppliers from all claims, demands, and damages of any kind arising out of any dispute you have with a customer.

  1. b) Reversals (aka, Refunds) and Declined Payments. Subject to subsection c below, you are responsible for all fees, fines, penalties, and other liability incurred by BlazePay, our Financial Institution Partner, other BlazePay users, or third parties (the “Liabilities”) arising from your breach of these Terms or your use of the BlazePay Services except to the extent such Liabilities arise from the breach, gross negligence or gross misconduct of BlazePay or such other parties. You agree to reimburse BlazePay, our Financial Institution Partner, other BlazePay users, or third parties for any and all such liability.
  2. c) Declined Payments. A Declined Payment is an ACH payment by a customer to a merchant that is later declined by the processing financial institution in whole or in part because the customer’s bank account was closed, had insufficient funds, or was frozen/restricted due to a dispute. Under these circumstances, BlazePay will typically seek to recover the Declined Payment from the customer; however, there are circumstances, such as customer dissatisfaction, merchant negligence, repeated declinations (indicating lack of reasonable monitoring), phishing attacks and fraud for which BlazePay may seek to recover all or part of the Declined Payment from you, the merchant. Prior to making a decision, BlazePay will conduct an inquiry to determine the cause of the Declined Payment(s) and will communicate its decision to you about recovery of the involved funds. If BlazePay determines that it should seek to recover the Declined Payment(s) from the customer, BlazePay will do so via debt collection methods for sixty (60) days (the “Collection Period”). You agree, by signing this Agreement, that you will reasonably assist in resolving customer debts as requested by BlazePay. If BlazePay is unsuccessful in its collection efforts, you may be billed on your monthly invoice for all or part of the outstanding Declined Payment(s) based, in part, on your Exposure Cap (defined below).
  3. d) Exposure Acknowledgement. BlazePay reserves the right to charge you for Declined Payment exposure that exceeds your monthly transaction fee gross amount associated with each of your individual BlazePay Merchant IDs. Declined payment exposure is calculated by the outstanding declined payment amount for a given month the subsequent month that the Collection Period (60 days) ends. BlazePay will perform attempts to resolve Declined Payment(s) and further reduce your outstanding Declined Payment amount for the duration of the Collection Period. Using one ID as an example with $100 gross fee amount, $150 declined amount, $10 collected amount – where $140 remains outstanding at the end of the Collection Period, that merchant ID can be charged $40 ($140-$100).
  4. e) Rewards. Although BlazePay offers rewards programs whereby customers receive certain incentives to increase their adoption of BlazePay as a method of payment, BlazePay reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to refuse to honor rewards associated with Declined Payments, Reversals and any other conduct on your part or on the part of a customer that suggests that BlazePay’s reward program has been manipulated to provide rewards that have not actually been earned by the customer.

    f) Non guaranteed ACH – For Merchants who are approved for non guaranteed ACH payments, Merchant will reimburse BlazePay weekly for all returned payments through an auto debit initiated by BlazePay. Merchant agrees that they will not attempt to recover on any returned payments. BlazePay will attempt to recover any returned payments and will retain 25% of the payments recovered. The amount of payments recovered will be reconciled monthly.

7) Actions BlazePay May Take.

If BlazePay determines, in its sole discretion, that you may have breached these Terms, that you or your customer’s use of BlazePay’s platform presents risk or security concerns, or that you have acted negligently with respect to the use of BlazePay’s platform (e.g., failing to verify legal age), we may take action to protect BlazePay and our users, our Financial Institution Partner, or other third parties from liability.

8) Unauthorized Transactions and Error Resolution.

‍a) Notify BlazePay of Account Errors. Contact BlazePay immediately at support@blaze.me if you think that: (a) your Account has been accessed without your authorization, (b) a transaction that you did not authorize has occurred, (c) a transaction has been processed incorrectly to or from your Account, or (d) your Account statement contains an error regarding your transaction history (each, an “Error”). If you give someone access to your Account and that person conducts transactions without your authorization, these transactions are not considered Errors, unless you are the victim of a phishing attack or similar exploit which you could not have reasonably avoided with reasonable precautions. We must hear from you within sixty (60) calendar days after being provided the Account statement on which the suspected Error first appeared. b) How to notify BlazePay. When you notify us of the suspected Error, please provide: (i) Your name, Account number, and Transaction ID number, (ii) The nature of the suspected Error and why you believe it is an Error, and (iii) The dollar amount of the suspected Error.

In either case, we will endeavor to correct any Error promptly. If we make a determination that a credit is owed, we will communicate this to you in writing and credit your Account within twenty (20) business days for the amount of the suspected Error.

9) Termination.

‍a) By You. You may stop using the BlazePay Services at any time. You may also close your Account at any time, as long as you have no pending transactions or open Disputes, by contacting us at support@Blaze.me. b) By Us. We may close your Account or terminate your access to the BlazePay Services without liability, for any reason, upon notice to you. Reasons for termination may include, but are not limited to, your violation of these Terms or any other applicable terms or policies of BlazePay or our Financial Institution Partner, Account inactivity, or BlazePay’s assessment that you pose an unacceptable risk to the BlazePay network or business, based on our confidential risk and security criteria. BlazePay also reserves the right to modify or terminate the BlazePay Services at any time, for any reason.

10) Disputes with BlazePay.

  1. a) Binding Arbitration. You and BlazePay (the “Parties”) agree that upon the election of either of the Parties, any past, present, or future dispute relating in any way to your Account, or any other past, present, or future relationship or transaction between the Parties, will be resolved by binding arbitration as discussed below, and not through litigation in any court. Such disputes are called “Claims” for purposes of this Section 11. This binding agreement to arbitrate applies regardless of whether the dispute is between you and us jointly or separately. This arbitration agreement is entered into pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16. Any Claim, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this Agreement to arbitrate, shall be determined by arbitration in Chicago, Illinois, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, before one (1) arbitrator who shall be selected by the parties in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “Rules”). The arbitrator shall follow the Rules and any applicable federal law and/or Illinois state law in rendering an award. The arbitrator will have the authority to award to a Party any damages or relief provided for under applicable law. No class actions or similar process, and no joinder or consolidation of any Claim with a Claim of any other person or entity, shall be allowable in arbitration. The arbitrator shall have no authority to entertain any Claim on behalf of a class or a group; nor will the arbitrator have the authority to make any award for the benefit of, or against, any person, or entity who is not a named party to the arbitration. In the event that there is a dispute about whether limiting arbitration to non-class proceedings, or to the named parties, is enforceable under applicable law, then that question shall be resolved by a court rather than by an arbitrator; and to the extent it is determined that resolution of a Claim must proceed on a class basis, it shall so proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction rather than in arbitration. Each Party will be responsible for any other fees or costs, such as attorney fees that the Party may incur. If you consider that you are unable to afford any fees or costs that would be yours to pay, you may request that we pay or reimburse them, and we will consider your request in good faith. ARBITRATION WITH RESPECT TO A CLAIM IS FINAL AND BINDING TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW AND NEITHER PARTY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE THAT CLAIM THROUGH A COURT. IN ARBITRATION THE PARTIES WILL NOT HAVE THE SAME RIGHTS THAT APPLY IN COURT, SUCH AS THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JUDGE OR JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE OR BE REPRESENTED IN PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT BY OTHERS SUCH AS CLASS ACTIONS OR SIMILAR PROCEEDINGS. IN ADDITION, THE RIGHT TO DISCOVERY AND THE RIGHT TO APPEAL MAY ALSO BE LIMITED OR ELIMINATED IN ARBITRATION. ALL OF THESE JUDICIAL RIGHTS ARE WAIVED WITH RESPECT TO CLAIMS THAT THE PARTIES ELECT TO ARBITRATE.
