MERCHANT TERMS AND CONDITIONS

YOU AGREE THAT THESE MERCHANT TERMS AND CONDITIONS WILL BE EFFECTIVE AS OF THE DATE OF LAST UPDATE

These Merchant Terms and Conditions (“Terms and Conditions”) are a legally binding Agreement (“Agreement”) between POSaBIT Inc. (“POSaBIT”), a Nevada corporation, and you (“You” or “Merchant”).  POSaBIT provides a payment software platform (“POSaBIT Services”) that enables Merchant’s Customers to conduct electronic transactions for goods and services.  This Agreement governs Merchant’s use of the POSaBIT Services.  POSaBIT and Merchant are referred to herein each as a “Party” and together as the “Parties.”  These Terms and Conditions are personal to Merchant and Merchant may not provide the POSaBIT Services to any third party.  

IN ORDER TO UTILIZE AND ACCESS THE POSABIT SERVICES, YOU MUST ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE  READ AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS BY CLICKING THE “AGREE” BUTTON AT THE END OF THIS AGREEMENT.  IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOU MUST CLICK THE “DECLINE” BUTTON AT THE END OF THIS AGREEMENT AND YOU MAY NOT USE THE POSABIT SERVICES.    

POSABIT SERVICES; OBLIGATIONS.

The POSaBIT Services are intended to enable Merchant’s Customers to conduct electronic payments for goods and services.  By using the POSaBIT Services to conduct a Transaction for goods or services with Merchant, Customer authorizes payment via an Automated Clearing House (“ACH") transfer from Customer’s Designated Bank Account to Merchant’s Designated Bank Account.  As a technology provider to Merchant’s Financial Institution (“FI”), POSaBIT creates a Data File(s) in connection with Transactions by a Customer using the POSaBIT Services.  Upon receipt of the Data File(s), FI processes it in accordance with applicable rules and regulations.  No payments are made to or through POSaBIT.  FI is the entity that controls funds sent to Merchant by Merchant’s Customers based upon instructions provided by Merchant and Merchant’s Customers through the POSaBIT Services.  In providing the POSaBIT Services, POSaBIT is a “Third-Party Sender” (as defined in the NACHA Rules).

Provided Merchant agrees to these Terms and Conditions and satisfies the eligibility  requirements in Section 2, Merchant will become authorized to access and use the POSaBIT Services.  POSaBIT will provide Merchant with electronic access to the POSaBIT Merchant Portal, including providing access to information related to Transactions and Transaction Fees for a rolling twenty-four (24) month period.  POSaBIT will also provide Merchant with an electronic keypad for Customers to enter their personal access code (“PAC”) at the point of sale, which serves as the Customer’s authorization for Merchant to initiate an ACH transfer. Merchant shall use such keypad in accordance with the user instructions and information transmitted by POSaBIT to Merchant from time to time. Merchant will not bypass or disable any security mechanisms in such keypad. Merchant will implement and install any updates to such keypad as provided by POSaBIT to Merchant. Merchant is responsible for the following: the maintenance of such keypad in good and clean operating condition; all costs incurred in connection with the shipment, use, operation, or possession of such keypad; all risk of loss associated with such keypad; any loss of or damage to such keypad; or any injury or damage caused by the usage of such keypad. Merchant shall not make any changes to the keypad without POSaBIT's prior written approval. POSaBIT makes no representations or warranties to Merchant about the keypad.  Upon termination of this Agreement, Merchant shall return the keypad to POSaBIT in fully operating condition within ten (10) days.

POSaBIT may, in its sole discretion, limit or deny Merchant access to the POSaBIT Services for reasons including, but not limited to, the belief that Transactions conducted by Merchant expose any Party to harm, or violate these Terms and Conditions, or Applicable Law.  If POSaBIT reasonably determines that the POSaBIT Merchant Portal has been used for any unauthorized, illegal, or criminal purpose (other than federal laws pertaining to the sale, use, or distribution of state-legal marijuana ), POSaBIT may notify FI of such activity.

Merchant understands and agrees to the following elements regarding its relationship with POSaBIT: (i) POSaBIT provides the POSaBIT Software and the POSaBIT Services; (ii) POSaBIT does not receive, hold, instruct, direct, or transmit funds; (iii) POSaBIT only maintains and manages information associated with funds generated by the sale of goods or services via the POSaBIT Services; (iv) FI provides all ACH entry and settlement services; and (v) POSaBIT is not a financial institution, credit reporting institution, money service business, or money transmitter.

Provided Merchant meets the eligibility requirements and agrees to these Terms and Conditions, Merchant will become authorized to access and use the POSaBIT Services.  Merchant must select a user ID and password in order to access the POSaBIT Merchant Portal, which will serve as its primary source of communication with POSaBIT. POSaBIT will report all Transactions and corresponding Transaction Fees to Merchant via the POSaBIT Merchant Portal.  Merchant is obligated to review any notices and statements from POSaBIT and to promptly report any apparent errors or unauthorized Transactions.  Failure to timely contact POSaBIT may result in financial loss to Merchant. Any dispute of accuracy must be made in writing to POSaBIT within thirty (30) days of the inaccuracy occurring, after which time all items will be deemed accurate and accepted by Merchant.  Merchant will keep all Account Information with the sponsoring financial institution current and accurate and will update its POSaBIT Merchant Portal password as required or recommended by POSaBIT from time to time. 

By registering with POSaBIT for the POSaBIT Services, Merchant represents and warrants that (i) Merchant is either a legal resident of the United States, a United States citizen, or a business entity authorized to conduct business in the state(s) in which it operates, (ii) the individual agreeing to the Terms and Conditions of this Agreement has the authority to do so on behalf of Merchant, (iii) this Agreement is an enforceable obligation of Merchant, (iv) Merchant has the full power and authority to perform all its obligations under this Agreement, (v) there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or threatened against Merchant which would materially adversely affect its ability to perform its  obligations under this Agreement, (vi) the performance of this Agreement by Merchant will not violate its organizational documents or any material contract or other instrument to which Merchant is a party or by which Merchant is bound that would adversely affect the ability of Merchant to perform its  obligations under this Agreement, (vii) the performance of this Agreement by Merchant does not require the approval of any other person or regulatory authority, and (viii) Merchant’s business and performance of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement are in compliance with and will not violate in any material respect any Applicable Law (including the rules of NACHA).
