Through your Stripe Account, you will be able to process payments from your own customers through an integration between the Platform and the Stripe Account. If you do not wish to keep your account with Stripe active, it is your responsibility to deactivate it. Additionally, some features that are embedded into Checkfront Payments through integrations (“Checkfront Payments Integrations”) will have additional terms applicable to your use of those features.

    4. Processor Account as a Third Party Service. Your Processor Account is a Third-Party Service as defined in this Agreement, which means all disclaimers of warranties and liability regarding your Processor Account under these Master Terms of Service and Applicable Laws apply to your use of the Processor Account. By using your Processor Account, you are agreeing to be bound by the Checkfront Payments Processor Terms & Conditions or the applicable terms and conditions of the Third-Party Payments Processor (as the context requires, the “Processor Terms”), as applicable, as they are made available to you by Checkfront Payments or your selected Third-Party Payments Processor, as they may be amended from time to time. Your continued use of your Processor Account after the amended terms become effective constitutes your agreement to, and acceptance of, the amended Processor Terms. 
    5. Acknowledgment Regarding Merchant of Account. You acknowledge and agree that we are not the merchant of record for any payment processing activities you do through the Software Service and your Processor Account.

By authorizing recurring payments, you are authorizing us to process such payments as either electronic debits or fund transfers, or as electronic drafts from your designated account, or as charges to your designated account (for credit card or similar payments) (collectively, “Electronic Payments“). Subscription Fees are charged in advance of the applicable subscription period. If any payment is returned unpaid or if any credit card or similar transaction is rejected or denied, we or our service providers reserve the right to collect any applicable return item, rejection, or insufficient funds fee, and process any such payment as an Electronic Payment.
    3. Ordering Additional Services. You may request Additional Users or additional Services, the specifics of which will be stated in an applicable Order agreed to by both Parties for the Additional Users or additional Services. Your agreement to that Order will be a binding commitment to purchase the Additional Users or additional Services described in the Order. 
    4. Payment. Payment of Fees due to us may be made by the means provided on our website, within the Platform, or as otherwise provided by us and may include electronic funds transfer, wire, credit card payment, or any other payment method agreed to by us. Payment by electronic funds transfer, credit card, or wire is considered made when released from your account. Payment by other means, if that payment method is approved by us, will be considered accepted when received by us. You agree to pay interest on any amounts which are not paid by the applicable due date at a rate of one and a half percent (1.5%) compounded monthly (19.56% annually), or the maximum rate allowed by Applicable Law (if less), plus all expenses of collection, until fully paid.
    5. Taxes. The Company and the Customer are each solely responsible for Taxes which each is liable to pay under Applicable Laws. The Fees and any other amounts paid or payable to the Company under this Agreement do not include and will not be offset by any Taxes paid or payable by the Customer in respect of this Agreement. The Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes associated with (i) the Customer’s purchase of the Services under this Agreement and (ii) its Authorized Users’ use of the Platform. If the Company has an obligation under Applicable Laws or this Agreement to pay or collect Taxes for which the Customer is legally liable or responsible under this subsection, then the Company will invoice the Customer for such Taxes, and the Customer will pay that invoiced amount of Taxes to the Company unless the Customer provides the Company with a tax exemption certificate that is valid under Applicable Laws and is authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. Should the Customer remit withholding tax to any governmental authority in respect of Fees or other amounts paid or payable to the Company under this Agreement, then the Customer agrees to timely provide the Company with appropriate documentation evidencing such remittance.

Subject to your indemnity obligations stated in this Agreement, we agree to defend, indemnify, and hold you and your Affiliates and your respective officers, directors, employees, agents, and sub-contractors harmless from and against any and all third-party Claims and resulting Damages where the Claim (i) subject to subsection (d) below, alleges that the Platform infringes or misappropriates third-party Intellectual Property Rights; or (ii) arising from our gross negligence, fraud, or wilful misconduct (each, a “Customer Claim”). 
    3. Indemnification Procedure. The Party seeking indemnification under this section (the “Indemnitee”) will provide the other Party (the “Indemnitor”) with prompt written notice of any third-party Claim for which indemnity is sought. If the Indemnitor is so notified, the Indemnitor will promptly hire experienced and competent counsel, and will have sole control of the defense and all negotiations for the compromise or settlement of such Claim, and will pay any Damages in respect of such Claim and reimburse the Indemnitee for its reasonable costs and expenses incurred in cooperation with and providing assistance to the Indemnitor; provided, however, that the Indemnitor may not settle any such Claim without the Indemnitee’s consent if the proposed settlement would be in the Indemnitee’s name or impose pecuniary or other liability or an admission of fault or guilt on the Indemnitee or would require the Indemnitee to be bound by an injunction of any kind. 
    4. Company Rights. In the defense or settlement of any Customer Claim that alleges that the Platform infringes or misappropriates third-party Intellectual Property Rights, we may procure the right for you to continue using the Platform, replace or modify the Platform (so long as such modified Platform is substantially equivalent in functionality and performance) so that it becomes non-infringing or, if such remedies are not reasonably available, terminate this Agreement on two (2) business days’ notice to you and refund you (without an additional liability or obligation to the Customer) a prorated amount equal to the prepaid but unused Platform Fees for the Software Service for the unexpired portion of the Term. This section states your sole and exclusive rights and remedies, and our (including our Affiliates and their officers’, directors’ employees’, agents’, and sub-contractors’) entire obligations and liability for infringement of any Intellectual Property Right.
    5. Exclusions. In no event will we or our Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, or sub-contractors be liable to you under this section to the extent that the alleged infringement is based on:
      1. a modification of the Platform by you or anyone on your behalf (including a modification made by us at your direction) to the extent such claim would not have occurred absent such modification;
      2. use of the Platform in a manner contrary to the instructions given by us or in contravention of the terms of this Agreement;
      3. use of the Platform in combination with other products, software, or data not supplied by us; or
      4. use of the Platform after notice of the alleged or actual infringement from us or any appropriate authority or third party.
    6. General. Indemnification by either Party under this Agreement may be reduced to the extent of loss actually proven as directly attributable to the breach of the Agreement, gross negligence, or willful misconduct of the other Party.
