Version Name: 3.3C and Last Updated: 7/25/2025

BACKGROUND

REPAY and Centavo, Inc., d/b/a Payabli (“Payabli”) maintain an integrated partnership that integrates REPAY System Services into Payabli’s platform (the “Integration”).  Customer is a customer of Payabli’s partner and wishes to enter into an agreement with REPAY to use REPAY for payment services through the Integration.  REPAY provides services designed to streamline payment execution processes.  REPAY’s software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution is a payments outsourcing service that provides electronic payment processing, via ACH and virtual credit card payments, and printed & mailed check payments.  REPAY also provides vendor enablement and vendor data management services to facilitate the delivery of payments.  The Integration allows the Payabli platform to access the REPAY payment portal (the “System”, as defined below) via API, in order to facilitate vendor payments on behalf of Customer and Customer’s clients.

After initial set up and testing, Customer can transmit their vendor payment file concerning the payment of an outstanding invoice(s) for one or more of its vendors through the Integration.  The payment file submitted by Customer may contain virtual credit card, ACH and paper check payment requests into the REPAY System and must be in a form as required by the System.  REPAY will facilitate payments through an FBO “for the benefit of” account on behalf of Customer to facilitate all transactions (check, ACH, virtual card funding), and such FBO account will be established at REPAY’s partner bank as a Custodial Account subject to the terms provided in the Payment Services Agreement – Custodial Account Terms Addendum.  The Customer will initiate the funding of the Custodial Account through the Integration.  Customer’s payment files will be processed and payments will be submitted to applicable vendors via virtual credit card, ACH, and check, as applicable, through the System.

Accordingly, the Parties agree as follows:

The foregoing obligations are conditioned on REPAY notifying Customer promptly in writing of such claim, giving Customer sole control of the defense thereof and any related settlement negotiations, and cooperating, at Customer’s request and expense, in such defense; provided that Customer shall not settle any such claim in a manner that does not unconditionally release REPAY without REPAY’s written consent.

11. Each Party (“Receiving Party”) agrees that it will not make use of, disseminate, or in any way disclose the other Party’s (“Disclosing Party”) Confidential Information to any person, firm, or business, except as authorized by this Agreement and to the extent necessary for performance of this Agreement. The Receiving Party agrees that it will disclose Confidential Information only to those of its employees and contractors who need to know such information.  The Receiving Party agrees that it will treat all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party with the same degree of care as it accords its own Confidential Information; the Receiving Party represents that it exercises reasonable care to protect its own Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means any information of the Disclosing Party that the Receiving Party knows, or reasonably should know, is confidential or proprietary to the Disclosing Party.  The foregoing will not prevent either Party from disclosing information which belongs to such party or is (i) already known by the recipient party without an obligation of confidentiality; (ii) publicly known or becomes publicly known though no unauthorized act of the Receiving Party; (iii) rightfully received from a third party; (iv) independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of the confidential information of the other party; (v) disclosed without similar restrictions to a third party by the party owning the confidential information; (vi) approved by the other party for disclosure; or (vii) required to be disclosed pursuant to a requirement of a governmental agency or law so long as the Disclosing Party provides the other Party with notice (if possible) of such requirement prior to any such disclosure.  Customer acknowledges and agrees that REPAY may share and use Confidential Information provided under this Agreement with third party partners for the purposes of enhancing the System, providing the System Services, and facilitating payments under this Agreement.  Any such use of Confidential Information shall be governed by confidentiality provisions no less restrictive than those in this Agreement.  Upon termination of this Agreement, Receiving Party shall promptly cease using and destroy (with written certification of destruction) or return to the Disclosing Party, all Confidential Information of such other party unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing by the Parties.  The Parties agree that there is no adequate remedy at law for a breach of the confidentiality obligations set forth in this Section 12 and that a breach of such obligations would cause irreparable harm to the non-breaching party, and therefore the non-breaching party will be entitled to seek injunctive relief (without the need to post a bond or other security) against the breaching party in addition to any other rights or remedies available at law or in equity.

12. Customer agrees that REPAY may, in its sole discretion, use Customer’s name and may disclose that customer is a Customer of REPAY in advertising, press, promotion, marketing, and other similar public disclosures for the purpose of promoting REPAY business, and products and/or services of REPAY and its affiliates.
