TOPS Pay
Payment Processing Agreement

I, the undersigned, the Representative of the Client identified below (the “Client”), in consideration of the services described hereunder, hereby appoint and authorize TOPS Software, LLC (“TOPS Pay”) to act as my representative to provide payment services and facilitate payments from my residents or other payers (each a “Payer”) who initiate payment transactions through TOPS Pay under the terms and conditions set forth below.

  1. General Authorization. I hereby:
    1. authorize TOPS Pay to collect payments from all payers who register for the TOPS Pay service.
    2. authorize TOPS Pay to credit such payments to my Account(s) provided to TOPS Pay, less any transaction fees, on a monthly basis.
    3. acknowledge that TOPS Pay utilizes a partner, PayLease LLC (dba Zego), in the fulfillment of the TOPS Pay services, including receiving and settling payments to me.
    4. authorize PayLease LLC (DBA Zego), (“TOPS Pay Agent”) to act as my limited agent for the purpose of receiving, holding, facilitating, and settling payments made by Payers to me. TOPS Pay Agent will settle to me payments that are received by TOPS Pay Agent less any fees or other obligations owed to TOPS Pay Agent. I agree that a payment received by TOPS Pay Agent, on my behalf, satisfies the Payer’s obligations to make the applicable payment to me, regardless of whether TOPS Pay Agent actually settles such payment to me, and accordingly, such payment obligation is considered satisfied and extinguished upon receipt. Subject to applicable laws, government regulations and card association rules, in the event TOPS Pay Agent does not make any such payment to me as described in these Terms, I will have recourse against TOPS Pay Agent and not Payer, as such payment is deemed made by Payer to me upon receipt by TOPS Pay Agent.

All payments will be credited to the Client’s existing bank account (s) on file with TOPS Pay, less any transaction fees associated with such payment. Transactions processed via this Merchant ID will be exclusively on behalf of the Client.
    7. I will make the TOPS Pay Agent Terms of Use found at https://www.gozego.com/terms-of-use/ and the TOPS Pay Agent Privacy Policy found at https://www.gozego.com/corp/privacy-policy/ available to all Payers.
