Carefully review this Merchant Agreement, Platform License, and Terms of Use (the “Agreement”). By submitting an application for approval as a member, accessing the website at [insert web address] (the “Website”), or otherwise using the Services (defined below) provided through this Website, or any page thereof, through any direct or indirect means (collectively the “Website” and “Services” referred to as the “Platform”), you accept and agree to be bound by all of the terms and conditions in this Agreement. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT AN APPLICATION FOR MEMBER APPROVAL, ACCESS THE WEBSITE, OR OTHERWISE ATTEMPT TO USE THE SERVICES. YOU SHOULD PRINT A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT FOR YOUR RECORDS.
This Agreement describes a contractual relationship between you, the merchant accessing the Website and/or utilizing the Services (“you” or “your”), Finanswr, LLC, as Administrator, and, Administrator, on behalf of the third-party license provider (“Licensor”) as its authorized agent.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and in consideration thereof, you are submitting an application to be a member of a program pursuant to which Administrator will introduce you to financing programs that you and the providers thereof may market to your customers. In addition to the terms and conditions of the specific financing programs made available to you through the providers thereof, the terms and conditions if this Agreement shall govern the relationship between you and Administrator, and with respect to the provisions herein applicable to it, the Licensor.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you are granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable, fully revocable limited license to use the Platform (the “License”).
You acknowledge and agree that by accepting the License, you will not:
(a) engage in any activities related to the Platform that are contrary to this Agreement, any applicable law or regulation, or the terms of any agreements you may have with Licensor and/or Administrator;
(b) provide, furnish, or enter any false, inaccurate or misleading information;
(c) provide information belonging to any person other than yourself without express written consent of such person and such person’s agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement;
(d) use any device, software, routine, file or other tool or technology, including but not limited to any viruses, trojan horses, worms, time bombs or cancelbots, intended to damage or interfere with the Platform or to surreptitiously intercept or expropriate any system, data or personal information from the Platform;
(e) breach this Agreement or any other agreement or policy that you have agreed to with Licensor and/or Administrator;
(f) commit unauthorized use of the Platform including but not limited to unauthorized entry into the Website or systems, misuse of passwords, or misuse of any information posted to a site; and
(g) take any action that imposes an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on the Platform infrastructure, including but not limited to denial of service attacks, “spam” or any other such unsolicited overload technique.
Licensor may immediately and at any time terminate all of your rights under the License granted in this Agreement directly or through the Administrator and all such rights shall automatically revert to Licensor and you shall immediately discontinue the use of Platform and thereafter shall no longer use or have the right to use the Platform.
Licensor, by or through the Administrator, shall have the right, in its absolute discretion, to change or discontinue any aspect or feature of the Platform and may unilaterally decide to change or otherwise modify this Agreement, or any part hereof from time to time; provided, however, that such changes will not impose additional obligations on you with respect to actions you took before the change became effective unless you specifically agree to such changes (for example by clicking on the “Confirm Charge” button below the updated Agreement). If this Agreement is changed, Licensor, by or through the Administrator, will give notice to you by posting a new version of this Agreement on the Website 7 days before that version becomes effective. If Licensor makes any changes to this Agreement that it deems to be material, Licensor, by or through the Administrator, will make a reasonable effort to inform you of such changes, but it is your responsibility to review the Agreement posted to the Website from time to time to see if it has been changed. Any access or use of the Platform by you after such date shall be deemed to constitute your acceptance of such changes.
The Website is an online lending B2B exchange that connects sellers of products or services that are intended to reach consumers or businesses (“Merchants”) to finance companies and vice versa. Through the Platform, Merchants may complete an online application which includes, among other things, the type of financing desired by the Merchant and whether the Merchant wishes an exclusive, open or “second-look” relationship and the Platform forward a notification, along with a brief summary of the Merchant’s business, to finance companies, who are signed up with the Platform network (“FCs”). FC’s are able to notify Merchants through the Platform if they wish to proceed with the potential match, either exclusive or open, request additional information from the Merchant or reject the Merchant as a potential source of financing. If you, as a Merchant, submit a contract via the Platform, then you are agreeing to pay a $99 monthly membership fee (the “Membership Fee”) each month to have access to the Platform, including the online Order Tracker to process contracts. The Membership Fee shall be debited from your checking account, credit card or debit card that you have provided to the Administrator. You may cancel your License at any time prior to the time the next Membership Fee is due and such cancellation shall be effective at the end of the calendar month in which the Administrator receives your cancellation notice. There will be no refunds for partial months use. You may not submit any contracts after cancellation, but may use the Order Tracker until membership terminates. You shall also pay Administration, on behalf of Licensor, a servicing fee (the Servicing Fee) which is tied to a percentage of the amount financed for each contract funded by an FC. The Servicing Fee shall be debited to your checking account, credit card or debit card that you have provided to the Administrator. The specific Servicing Fee will be disclosed to you and agreed to by you in advance of completion of the match with a FC.
In consideration, in part, for providing you access to the Platform network of FCs, you agree that during the term of this Agreement and 24 months after termination, you will not submit contracts to FCs that are members of the Platform network outside of the terms of this Agreement or otherwise to (among other things) avoid payment of the Membership Fee and/or Servicing Fee. You agree not to circumvent the business relationships of Licensor and/or Administrator with its Platform network of FCs.
Neither Licensor nor Administrator makes loans or otherwise extends credit through the Platform. You acknowledge and agree that FC’s are solely responsible for reviewing contracts, making decisions on contracts, making loans and otherwise extending credit and you agree that neither Licensor nor Administrator shall be liable for any damages or costs of any type arising out of or in any way connected with your interactions with any FCs.
