You agree that all Service Fees are payable without any right of set off and are non-refundable.

Authorization.

I hereby appoint and authorize Company’s Payment Partner to act as my representative to facilitate electronic Direct Deposit of Vendor Payments between Vendor and Customer.

I authorize Company’s Payment Partners, to act as my limited agent for the purpose of receiving and settling payments to me less the Service Fees. I agree that a Vendor Payment received by the Payment Partner, on my behalf, satisfies the payer’s obligations to make the applicable payment to me, regardless of whether the Payment Partner 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 the Payment Partner does not make any such payment to me as described in this Agreement, I will have recourse against the Payment Partner and not payer, as such payment is deemed made by payer to me upon receipt by the Payment Partner.

Taxes.

We shall not be responsible for the collection of any taxes or similar assessments that may be applicable to any Vendor Payments or the Direct Deposit thereof. You are solely and exclusively responsible for the collection of all taxes and similar assessments on any amounts you receive from Customer through the Services.

You are responsible for all sales, use, and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties and charges of any kind imposed by any federal, state, or local governmental or regulatory authority on any amounts payable by you hereunder, other than any taxes imposed on our income.

Attorneys’ Fees/ Collections.

If we use an attorney or a collection agency to collect any money you owe us, or to assert any other right that we may have against you, then you hereby agree to pay the reasonable costs of such collection or other action. These costs may include the costs of a collection agency, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and court costs. If you believe you have been assessed a Service Fee in error, you must contact our Customer Service immediately, and in no event more than thirty (30) days following such assessment. Failure to timely notify us of any dispute will constitute your acceptance of the Service Fee.

Customer/Vendor Disputes.

Dispute Resolution.

Summary.

Most of your concerns can be resolved quickly simply by reaching out to us atsupport@topssoft.com. In the event that we are unable to resolve your complaint, or we are unable to resolve our dispute with you, then we each agree to resolve all disputes through binding arbitration or small claims court instead of through the traditional court system. Arbitration is more informal than a traditional lawsuit brought in court, because it is before a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Any arbitration under this Agreement will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted.

Arbitration.

Subject the provisions of this Section, if you access or use any of our Services, then you and the Company hereby agree that any and all past, present and future disputes, claims, actions or other controversies arising out of, or relating in any way to, our Services or this Agreement, except any dispute relating to the enforcement of the Company’s intellectual property rights or your indemnification obligations under this Agreement, and without limiting our and your rights to resolve disputes using various informal dispute resolutions (each, a “Dispute”) will be determined exclusively on an individual (non-class) basis by binding arbitration before a single neutral arbitrator applying the American Arbitration Association’s rules for commercial arbitration, with the final hearing to occur exclusively in Pinellas County, Florida, or within the scope of its jurisdiction, in small claims court located in Pinellas County, Florida. YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR UNDERSTANDING AND AGREE THAT BY ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT AND THE ARBITRATION PROVISIONS HEREIN, THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT (FAA) WILL GOVERN THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS PROVISION, AND THAT YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND THE COMPANY ARE EACH HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN US. YOU AND THE COMPANY ALSO AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION CONDUCTED HEREUNDER WILL BE BROUGHT ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND WILL NOT BE BROUGHT OR PROCEED ON BEHALF OF A CLASS OR IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY. A “Dispute” includes those based in contract, any applicable current or future federal, state, local or international law, statute, rule, or government or quasi-government order or action or regulation, tort (including fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, negligence, willful misconduct or any other intentional tort) or any other legal or equitable theory. The meaning of “Dispute” is to be interpreted to have the broadest possible meaning permitted by law, and will only be modified to the extent necessary to be legal, binding and no longer in conflict with any law, including violation of our Privacy Policy or Terms of Use. The substantive law to be applied by the arbitrator during arbitration shall be Florida law without regard to any conflicts of law.

Procedure for Filing Claim.

If we are unable to resolve a Dispute, then the party asserting the Dispute shall provide the other party with written notice of its intent to proceed with arbitration, and provide sufficient detail of a party’s claim to put the other party on notice of the wrongs being asserted (“Demand for Arbitration”) that shall be sent to the Company at support@topssoft.com, if you are asserting a claim against the Company, or if Company is asserting a claim against to you then its shall send notice to the email address provided in Vendor Account. Upon receipt of the Demand for Arbitration, the parties shall work together to identify and select a single neutral arbitrator to govern the proceedings from the United States District Court Middle District of Florida’s list of certified mediators found at https://www.flmd.uscourts.gov/mediation-program. The arbitrator shall apply the American Arbitration Association’s Rules for Commercial Arbitration (found at www.adr.org) for each arbitration, but the arbitration shall not be conducted before the American Arbitrations Association. Subject only to the limited exceptions expressly set forth in this Section, the arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court, agency or other authority, will have the exclusive authority to resolve any and all Disputes, including issues relating to the scope, interpretation, applicability and enforceability of this arbitration agreement. The sole and exclusive locale for the arbitration shall be Pinellas County, Florida. If either party asserts a claim in small claims court, then neither party is required to provide a Demand for Arbitration.

Class Action Waiver.

NEITHER YOU NOR WE SHALL BE ENTITLED TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS BY OR AGAINST OTHER INDIVIDUALS OR ENTITIES, OR ARBITRATE ANY CLAIM AS A REPRESENTATIVE MEMBER OF A CLASS OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE (AS DEFINED ABOVE). Further, unless both you and the Company specifically agree otherwise in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that individual party’s individual claim.

The dispute resolution, binding arbitration and class action waiver agreements and provisions will survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
