Should Licensee become the subject of any Claim of infringement of a patent, trade secret, trademark, copyright, know-how, or other intellectual property right or if Licensee’s use of the Software Services or Documentation is enjoined or threatened to be enjoined based on such a Claim, Licensor shall, at its sole option and expense, do one of the following: (i) procure for Licensee the right to use the Software Services or Documentation or the affected part thereof; (ii) replace the Software Services or Documentation or affected part with other suitable non-infringing Software Services or Documentation or modify the Software Services or Documentation or affected part to make it non-infringing, provided that the same function is performed by the replacement or modified Software Services or Documentation as the Software Services or Documentation provided hereunder, or (iii) if options (i) and (ii) above are commercially impracticable, Licensor may terminate the right to use such Software Services or Documentation and refund to Licensee the Software Services license fees and training fees paid hereunder as well as a pro-rata portion of any prepaid support fees.

The term of this Agreement will begin on the EFFECTIVE DATE and will end three (3) year following such EFFECTIVE DATE, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the provisions hereof. After the agreement period, if neither party request to modify the agreement 30 days before the termination date this agreement will auto renew for a consecutive period with the same terms and conditions. This cycle will be in effect and will continue until either party terminates or cancels the agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof. Existing customer on a single term agreement will be automatically superseded by this auto renew period without the need of a new agreement.

Should Licensee cancel prior to the end of the one (1) year term, an early termination fee of $1,000.00 will be charged unless within 30 days of effective date. Licensor may also terminate this Agreement if Licensee does not comply with any material terms or conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation, failure to pay any fees on a timely basis as specified herein, and Licensee fails to cure such non-compliance after receiving written notice from Licensor specifying the non-compliance. Licensor reserves the right to deny Licensee access to the Software Services upon the termination of this Agreement (including without limitation if any fees remain unpaid beyond 90 days after their due date). Upon any termination, Licensee agrees to return all Documentation to Licensor at Licensee’s cost. In the event Licensee transfers or sells its business to a third party, Licensee will notify Licensor of the identity of the pending purchaser.

If you create an Account as an individual acting as a representative of a corporation or other legal entity which wishes to use the Service, then you represent and agree that you have the authority to accept the Agreement on behalf of such corporation or other legal entity, and that all provisions of the Agreement will bind that corporation or other legal entity as if it were named in place of you.
You may establish subordinate accounts (“Sub-Accounts”) for the benefit of authorized personnel – such as employees or independent contractors. Sub- Accounts will be attached to and associated with your Account. You acknowledge and agree that SoftPoint offers this feature purely as a convenience to you, and that you are exclusively responsible for ensuring that any person permitted to access a Sub-Account will do so only on your behalf (not, for example, for the person’s own purposes or the benefit of third parties) and that such person fully complies with this Agreement. You are fully responsible for managing access to, and security and confidentiality of such Sub-Accounts and agree to immediately notify SoftPoint of any unauthorized use of such Sub-Accounts or any other breaches of your Account’s security.

Offline Mode
You must maintain an Internet connection (“Connection”) to operate your Service, process credit and debit card transactions, and generally complete electronic transactions through your Service. If you temporarily lose your Connection, the Service may contain a feature that allows you to temporarily operate certain elements of the Service and maintain data relating thereto, such as accepting credit and debit cards and storing transaction and card information, to process transactions once your Connection is restored (“Offline Mode”). However, Offline mode contains inherent limitations. Offline Mode will not provide you with confirmation that a credit card transaction is authorized, approved, or declined until your Connection is restored. You must establish a Connection within forty-eight (48) hours of your Connection loss to (1) process card transactions collected during the loss, and (2) synchronize or execute any other Services that occurred during the loss that require a Connection. Offline Mode may not maintain Service, transaction or card information, or operate forty-eight (48) hours after the Connection loss. In addition, while in Offline Mode, you may not have access or use of certain Services that are normally available when you have a Connection. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR AND ASSUME ALL LEGAL AND FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ACTIVITY THAT OCCURS DURING OFFLINE MODE, INCLUDING TRANSACTIONS AND CARD PROCESSING.

Third Party Equipment and Services
SoftPoint’s core service functionality under this Agreement is to deliver the Service, which may require you to integrate third party services, software, and devices (“Third Party Services”) to more robustly capitalize on the Service’s functionality. Specifically, in order to use the Service, you must supply certain equipment and subscribe to various Third Party Services. You must have at least: (1) at least one Apple iPad® or iPhone® running the iOS version specified by SoftPoint, (2) a working broadband Internet connection, (3) a secure wireless network available in all places within the venue where a Service-related device (including terminals as well as peripheral devices, such as any printers) will be used, (4) a valid merchant account (if you accept payment by credit and/or debit card) to process and receive card payments through Payments (defined below), and (5) an active Account. You agree that the foregoing Third Party Services require additional peripheral devices, fees, ancillary contracts, setup, configuration, and maintenance with third party service providers. SoftPoint prohibits and disclaims the use of the Service on any device that is modified contrary to the manufacturer’s software or hardware guidelines and your use of any such modified device constitutes a violation of this Agreement and grounds for us to terminate your Account.
The Service is compatible with SoftPoint’s payment processing service and other third-party payments processing services (“Payments”). Although portions of the Service are functional without Payments, you must sign up for a Payments account to access the full functionality of the Service. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, the Service’s only role in payment processing is to transmit encrypted data between you and payment processors, such as the payment processing network, bank and their respective service providers. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE MAY BE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF YOUR AGREEMENTS WITH YOUR DEVICE MANUFACTURER(S), YOUR CARRIER, PAYMENTS, AND OTHER THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS, AND THAT SOFTPOINT SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF SERVICES, DAMAGES, INTERRUPTIONS, LOSS OF DATA INCLUDING TRANSACTION OR CARD INFORMATION, INCOMPATIBILITIES, OR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THIRD PARTY SERVICES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY ISSUES WITH YOUR DEVICES, YOUR CARRIER, OR PAYMENTS, UNLESS OTHERWISE AGREED TO IN WRITING BY SOFTPOINT.
Hot Swap Program; Extended Warranty
If any Covered Hardware Unit (defined below) is damaged and rendered unusable, SoftPoint will ensure that you receive a new or refurbished replacement Covered Hardware Unit (each such Covered Hardware Unit, a “Replacement Part”) the next business day, subject to SoftPoint receiving your replacement request by 3pm Pacific Daylight Time on the previous business day, and subject further to this Agreement (“Hot Swap Program”). The Hot Swap Program is only offered in connection with damage covered under the Covered Hardware Unit’s warranty and subject to any AirLift protection plan you purchase. The Hot Swap Program will not apply in incidents of accidental damage (absent an AirLift plan) and does not modify the terms of your warranty relating to the Covered Hardware Unit. “Covered Hardware Unit” means a single hardware unit that you purchase from our preferred third party reseller, 3MB, Inc. d/b/a Denali Advanced Integration (“Denali”), ordered on your behalf by SoftPoint for use with the Service in conjunction with your Account. The Hot Swap Program is only available to current Account holders. It is available for each Covered Hardware Unit for a term of one (1) year from the date you purchase that Covered Hardware Unit. Your participation in the Hot Swap Program does not relieve you from any of your obligations under this Agreement, including payment of your Fees. You may be prohibited from participating in the Hot Swap Program if you repeatedly abuse the program, as determined by SoftPoint at its sole discretion.
Under the Hot Swap Program, Merchant must return to Denali each Covered Hardware Unit for which a Replacement Part was received within thirty (30) calendar days from receiving the Replacement Part using the return label enclosed with the Replacement Part. If Denali receives the Covered Hardware Unit after the thirty (30) calendar day return period, or does not receive it at all, Merchant acknowledges and understands that SoftPoint incurs a charge equal to the retail price of the Replacement Part. As such, SoftPoint will charge Merchant the retail price of the Replacement Part to recoup SoftPoint’s cost.
If you purchased a Covered Hardware Unit that requires servicing under the manufacturer’s warranty and you are no longer a SoftPoint customer, you must contact the manufacturer for service. If you purchased an Extended Warranty on a Covered Hardware Unit but are no longer a SoftPoint customer, and the Covered Hardware Unit requires servicing under the Extended Warranty, you must contact Safeware, Inc., the provider and administrator of the Extended Warranty, at the address set forth below for service. SoftPoint provides the Hot Swap Program as a customer service offering to you. You acknowledge and agree that SoftPoint is not the provider or administrator of the manufacturer warranty or the Extended Warranty, and agree not to pursue any claims against SoftPoint in connection with the manufacturer warranty or the Extended Warranty.
You will have the option of purchasing a two (2) year extended warranty on select Covered Hardware Units (“Extended Warranty”). The Extended Warranty is provided to you by Safeware, Inc., 6500 Busch Blvd., Columbus, Ohio, 43229, and is subject to and governed by the terms of the Safeware Extended Warranty (“Extended Warranty Agreement”). If you purchase an Extended Warranty, a copy of the Extended Warranty Agreement will be provided to you when you receive the Covered Hardware Unit. If you return a Covered Hardware Unit under an Extended Warranty as a result of accidental damage, you may be responsible for, and SoftPoint may charge you for, a $50.00 deductible to cover charges incurred by SoftPoint in connection with such returns.
If Merchant has not purchased the Extended Warranty and, following receipt of a Covered Hardware Unit from you under the Hot Swap Program, Denali or the manufacturer determines that the Covered Hardware Unit is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, Merchant shall be solely responsible for the retail price of the Replacement Part, and SoftPoint may charge Merchant the retail price of such Replacement Part.
Monthly Service Fee; Termination
You agree to pay the applicable monthly fees listed in your Agreement plus tax (“Fees”) to SoftPoint or SoftPoint authorized vendor (“Vendor”). Contracts that are paid as “Annual in Advance” will be billed each year of the term on the anniversary of the contract. The Fees and any additional charges SoftPoint levies under this Agreement may be deducted from any remittance you receive or are entitled to receive from SoftPoint under the Agreement, charged to your credit card on file, deducted from your bank account on file, or otherwise paid or offset in connection with your Account. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, your first Fees will be charged to you no later than thirty (30) days after you enter into this Agreement. Subject to this Agreement, we reserve the right to change our Fees, the payment schedule, and collection method in our sole and absolute discretion. If we change our Fees, billing schedule, or collection methods, we will notify you through your Account thirty (30) days in advance of the change (“Fees Change Notice Period”). If you do not agree to the Fees change, you must promptly close your Account and discontinue use of the Service prior to the last day of the Fees Change Notice Period. By continuing to use the Service after the last day of the Fees Change Notice Period, you accept the new Fees structure in its entirety.
You are purchasing a 28-month license and are responsible for remitting payment to the SoftPoint authorized vendor in which you have executed your Equipment Financing Agreement (“EFA”) for the length of your term with that vendor. At the end of the specified term in your EFA you will be responsible for ongoing monthly service fees equal to the amount on your EFA.
If you created an Account on a free-trial basis and did not convert to a paid Account, we will suspend your Account and notify you by sending an email to your registered email address. If you do not respond to our notice within thirty (30) days, (1) we will automatically close your Account; (2) we may, but are not required to, delete information associated with the Account; and (3) if you are using any devices acquired from SoftPoint in connection with the free trial, and you have not returned these devices to SoftPoint within thirty (30) days of our notice, we may charge you a fee equal to the retail value of the devices.
This Agreement becomes effective and binding on you when you create an Account. You may voluntarily terminate your Account at any time through the Account website or by contacting customer service at support@SoftPoint.com. You acknowledge and agree that if you terminate your Account before the end of a 30-day subscription cycle, or such subscription cycle as may apply, you will still be charged for the entire cycle. You acknowledge and agree that SoftPoint shall not be obligated to issue any refunds, whether full, prorated, or otherwise, if you voluntarily terminate your Account before the end of a subscription cycle, regardless of whether you notify SoftPoint.
You have the option to purchase from our preferred third party reseller, Denali, a Meraki brand router and a yearly license for using the router with your Account and Service. The Meraki router offered by Denali will only work with a valid license. If you terminate your Account before the end of a 30-day subscription cycle, you acknowledge you will be charged the license fee up to and including the entire 30-day cycle. However, notwithstanding the above paragraph, you will receive a refund equal to a prorated amount of the license fee for the days remaining in the license beyond the 30-day cycle. Each Meraki router and yearly license you purchase from Denali for use with your Account and Service is subject to a separate charge and refund under these terms. You acknowledge you may keep the Meraki router upon termination, but the router will immediately cease to function and not work with your Account, the Service, or in any other capacity. To reinstate the router functionality and continue using it without access to your Account and Service, it is your responsibility to purchase a new router license from Meraki without the assistance of SoftPoint. You acknowledge SoftPoint makes no representations that such a router license will be available upon the termination of your account, and SoftPoint is not responsible for and makes no representations regarding your use, the functionality, or the performance of the Meraki router after you terminate your Account.
You acknowledge and agree that SoftPoint may terminate your access to the Service and your Account (including all attached Sub-Accounts): (a) if you breach or violate of any provision of this Agreement; (b) upon a request by law enforcement or other government agency; (c) upon your request to terminate your Account; (d) upon our decision to discontinue or materially modify all or any part of the Service or Payments; (e) upon the occurrence of technical or security issues as identified in SoftPoint’s sole discretion; (f) if your use of the Service, whether through your Account or any Sub-Account or otherwise, is fraudulent or illegal; (g) for your non-payment of your Fees; (h) upon your violation of any other agreements you have with SoftPoint; (i) for convenience upon sixty (60) days written notice; and/or (j) if we believe, in our sole discretion, that your continued use of the Service interferes with, is harmful to, or otherwise inconsistent with our business. If we terminate your access to the Service and/or your Account, we may, without limitation: (w) require you to return some or all of your devices and software acquired from SoftPoint and pay a fee pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement you have with SoftPoint; (x) delete your Account and terminate your access to the Service and all information and features associated with your Account, unless otherwise agreed to in writing; (y) delete your password and all related information, files, and content associated with or inside your Account (or any part thereof); and (z) prohibit you from accessing the Service in the future through an alternative Account or otherwise. EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO YOUR VOLUNTARY TERMINATION OF YOUR ACCOUNT, SOFTPOINT SHALL MAKE ALL TERMINATION DECISIONS IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION AND SHALL IN NO EVENT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY TERMINATION OF YOUR ACCOUNT OR ACCESS TO THE SERVICE, INFORMATION IN OR ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR ACCOUNT OR ANY SUB-ACCOUNT, OR FOR ANY LOSSES OR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND RESULTING THEREFROM.
eCommerce Refund Policy

General
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and SoftPoint relating to the Service and supersedes any and all other agreements, oral or in writing, with respect to the Service. Notwithstanding, in the event of a conflict between these terms and the terms of another agreement you enter into with SoftPoint or SoftPoint’s affiliates, the terms that shall control are, in order from first to last, the SoftPoint Payments Merchant User Agreement, the Order Form, and this Merchant Agreement. Our failure to insist upon strict compliance with any term of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver with regard to any subsequent failure to comply with such term or provision. You acknowledge and agree that SoftPoint may, without notice to or consent from you, assign, transfer or convey this Agreement, whether by direct assignment, change of control, operation of law or other transaction, to any third party, successor in interest, related party or affiliate of SoftPoint (“Transferee”), and that such Transferee may rely upon your representations and enforce your obligations under this Agreement. In contrast, this Agreement is personal to you, and you may not assign your rights or obligations to anyone.
In the event any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be unenforceable, the remaining terms and provisions shall be unimpaired and the unenforceable term or provision shall be replaced by such enforceable term or provision as comes closest to the intention underlying the unenforceable term or provision. Sections 2, 3, 4, 6 (to the extent Fees are due but unpaid), and 7 through 17 shall survive termination of this Agreement. This Agreement, your rights and obligations, and all actions contemplated by this Agreement are governed by the laws of the United States of America and the State of Arizona, as if the Agreement were a contract wholly entered into and wholly performed within the State of Arizona.
Except as specifically stated herein, any dispute or claim between you and SoftPoint arising out of, or relating in any way to, the Agreement or the Service (“Disputes”) shall be resolved exclusively by final, binding arbitration; except that you may bring a qualifying claim over a Dispute in a small claims court in Maricopa County, Arizona. By virtue of this Agreement, you and SoftPoint are each giving up the right to go to court and have a Dispute heard by a judge or jury (except as otherwise set forth in this Section 17). The provisions of this Section 17 shall constitute your and SoftPoint’s written agreement to arbitrate Disputes under the Federal Arbitration Act (“Agreement”). Any modification to this Agreement shall be in writing and signed by you and SoftPoint. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and conducted before a single arbitrator pursuant to its rules, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes, available at http://www.adr.org or by calling 800-778-7879. The arbitrator will apply and be bound by this Agreement, apply applicable law and the facts, and issue a reasoned award.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must comply with the limitations provision set forth in this Section 17 and submit the Dispute by utilizing the forms available at http://www.adr.org, and simultaneously sending a copy of the completed form to the following address: C T Corporation System, 208 S. LaSalle Street, Suite 814, Chicago, IL 60604. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules. SoftPoint will reimburse those fees for Disputes totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the Dispute is frivolous. Likewise, SoftPoint will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the Dispute is frivolous. The arbitration will be conducted based upon written submissions unless you request and/or the arbitrator determines that a telephone or in-person hearing is necessary. If the arbitrator grants the request or determines an in-person hearing is necessary, the hearing will proceed in Maricopa County, Arizona, unless the arbitrator determines or we agree that the matter should proceed in the county in which you reside. You and us each agree that we shall bring any Dispute against the other in our respective individual capacities and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, representative proceeding or as an association. In addition, you and us each agree that Disputes shall be arbitrated only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. The arbitrator does not have the power to vary these provisions.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, either party may bring suit in court seeking an injunction or other equitable relief arising out of or relating to the infringement of a party’s intellectual property.
If for any reason a Dispute proceeds in court, you agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of, and venue in, the state and federal courts located in Maricopa County in the State of Arizona with respect to any and all legal proceedings that may arise in connection with the Dispute, and waive any objection to such jurisdiction and venue. All parties irrevocably waive any and all rights they may have to a trial by jury in any judicial proceeding involving any claim relating to or arising under this agreement.
