PayToo is providing merchant access to a web-based E-WALLET/CREDIT CARD/ECHECK/ACH Platform for the purpose of originating debit and credit transactions through the PayToo Payment as an Electronic Funds Transfers (“EFTâ€) or a Processing acquiring system. Merchant acknowledges that all transactions will be originated in accordance with these terms and conditions and the National Automated Clearing House Association (“NACHAâ€) Rules and Regulation (Rules), as periodically amended, and any other government regulations that may relate to ECHECK/ACH originations or Credit Card payment and E-Wallet payment.
- Term: The initial term of this Agreement is for a period of three (3) years and such term shall be automatically extended for successive Renewal terms; provided, however, that either party may terminate this Agreement at any time after the Initial Term without cause and without breach of this Agreement upon thirty (30) days prior written notice.
- Entry Submission: Upon acceptance of this Agreement and setup of Merchant’s PayToo Merchant Account, Merchant will be able to originate transactions entries into the PayToo Processing Platform. Entries with an effective date of the following business day in the Processing Platform by 4:00 PM EST each business day will be subject to transmission that day. Other factors, such as credit holds may delay the transmission of these entries.
- Fees and Charges: Merchant agrees to pay PayToo the fees and charges for the services rendered hereunder in accordance with the Fees and Charges Schedule as set forth in this agreement. Merchant will be notified via electronic mail when a debit entry, such as the monthly Fee Settlement, has been generated and a debit entry will be transmitted via ACH to the Merchant’s designated bank account. Merchant agrees that it shall, at all times, maintain a sufficient balance in its designated bank account to cover debit related entries, including Monthly Fee Settlements. If PayToo attempts a debit entry to Merchant’s bank account for any reason granted within the context of this agreement and receives a return notification for any reason, PayToo may charge Merchant a Returned Settlement fee. The fees and charges are subject to change upon thirty (30) days prior written notice (by electronic or U.S. Mail) to the Merchant. Upon receipt of any notice of fee increase, Merchant may, by written notice to PayToo at least ten (10) days prior to effective date of any such fee increase, terminate this agreement as set forth in paragraph 9. If Merchant does not terminate the Agreement, it shall be deemed to have accepted the fee increase.
- Authorizations and Agreements: Merchant shall obtain written authorization agreements executed by an authorized account signer in order for PayToo to debit funds pursuant to the Rules for electronic funds transfers. In the event of a WEB or TELEPHONIC entry, Merchant will obtain, and provide to PayToo upon request, the minimum requirements for WEB or TELEPHONIC entries as set forth in the Rules. Merchant agrees to periodically review its authentication techniques, to ensure that its security measures are adequate, and make all necessary changes to ensure that all authentication techniques are in accordance with all applicable laws, regulations, statutes, and the Rules.  Upon a valid request from a Receiving Financial Depository Institution (“RDFIâ€) for proof of authorization, PayToo will notify the Merchant, and Merchant will be required to provide such valid proof within four (4) days of such request. Failure to provide such proof, as required by the Rules, may result in suspension or termination of Merchant’s ACH Account. In addition, Merchant shall be liable for any and all liabilities, claims, costs, expense, reimbursement obligations, fines, and penalties, which arise due to such failure to timely produce original payee authorization agreements. The provisions of this paragraph will survive the termination of this agreement.
- Returned Transactions: PayToo will notify Merchant by electronic mail upon receipt of a returned transaction. Merchant authorizes PayToo to deduct returned debits from any settlement credit due to Merchant, or in the event no such settlement is due, originate a debit entry to the Merchant’s designated bank account for a returned debit. In the event the return is a credit that was previously offset by debiting the Merchant bank account, the returned funds will be credited back to the Merchant’s bank account within the standard settlement period. Refer to Fees and Charges for applicable fees.
-  Rejects and NOCs: PayToo confirms that all pending transactions have no prior returns associated with invalid account information or invalid/revoked authorization. If a pending transaction is found with a prior problem, PayToo has the right to void (reject) the transaction and Merchant will be notified of such reject via electronic mail. In the event an NOC was received correcting account data, PayToo will correct pending transaction in order to comply with the Rules. Refer to Fees and Charges for applicable fees.
- Settlement: In settlement for each credit entry submitted by Merchant, PayToo will transmit an Offset Settlement debit to the Merchant’s designated bank account on the effective date of such credit(s) and will then hold credits for a minimum of six days prior to transmitting through the ACH. In the event that the Offset Settlement is returned, held credits will be voided and the Merchant will be notified via electronic mail. If the Offset Debit is returned after the credit(s) have been transmitted through ACH, the debit will be resubmitted and a Returned Settlement Fee will be applied. Debit entries will be settled five (5) business days from the date the entry is submitted to the ECHECK/ACH Platform, unless both PayToo and Merchant agree upon a shorter term in writing. Returned debit entries received after the settlement is transmitted, will be subject to additional fees, and a debit will be initiated to reclaim funds. In the event that fraudulent activity is suspected, PayToo has the right to hold settlements while an investigation is made. Merchant will be notified via electronic mail of any such event.
- Rolling Reserve: Upon, or at any time after, execution of this Agreement, PayToo may establish a Rolling Reserve requirement of at least ten percent (10%) of Cleared Funds to be held by PayToo for a period no less than one hundred and eighty (180) days or as otherwise indicated on page 5 – Merchant Fee Schedule, Return Codes and Limits. PayToo may from time to time and at its absolute and sole discretion impose or amend the Rolling Reserve to cover future indebtedness of Merchant to PayToo that may arise out of or relate to the obligations of Merchant under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, Chargebacks, fees, fines and penalties. PayToo may fund the Rolling Reserve Account by deduction from payments due to Merchant or a charge against Merchant’s Operating Account as agreed upon by Merchant. The Rolling Reserve Account will be maintained for a minimum of three (3) months after the date on which this Agreement terminates or until such time as PayToo determines that the release of the funds to Merchant is prudent, in the best interest of PayToo and commercially reasonable, and that Merchant’s account with PayToo is fully resolved. Upon expiration of this three (3) month period or when PayToo determines that the release of the fund is prudent, in the best interest of PayToo and commercially reasonable, any balance remaining in the Rolling Reserve Account will be paid to Merchant and PayToo reserve the right to returns such funds in monthly increments over the same number of months that such funds were originally held. PayToo will inform Merchant in writing of any charges debited to the Rolling Reserve Account during this period. If during the terms of this Agreement PayToo agrees to a lower Rolling reserve rate, due to Merchant’s good practice or for other reasons, then PayToo may raise the rolling reserve rate to what was initially negotiated (page 3 – Merchant Fee Schedule) upon two (2) days’ warning, if PayToo considers in its absolute discretion that the precondition for the lower rate has changed.
- Hardware and Communication Services:  Merchant shall be solely responsible for establishing and maintaining its telecommunications lines and equipment necessary to transmit data between Merchant’s equipment and PayToo.
- Security: Merchant shall take commercially reasonable security precautions to prevent unauthorized or fraudulent use of the PayToo Processing Platform by Merchant, its employees, agents, and customers. PayToo will assign to Merchant one or more user identification numbers and temporary passwords for Merchant’s use in accessing PayToo Processing Platform. Upon accessing the Processing Platform with the temporary password, Merchant will be required to change the user password. PayToo will not have access to this password. In the event Merchant is unable to access the Processing Platform due to password problems, Merchant will have to telephone the PayToo Support Department and upon providing satisfactory identification, will be provided a new temporary password. The use and confidentiality of such numbers and passwords shall be the sole responsibility of Merchant and Merchant must institute appropriate safeguards to keep such access passwords secured. PayToo shall not assume any responsibility to discover any possible breach of Merchant’s security. Merchant shall immediately notify PayToo if it discovers any breach of security of the Processing Platform and/or Merchant access.

PayToo will not be responsible for any loss, liability or delay caused by fires, earthquakes, wars, civil disturbances, power surges or failures, acts of government, labor disputes, failures in communication, networks, legal constraints or other events beyond its control. Because of the difficulty of determining actual damages for any failure of PayToo to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the parties agree that the extent of any damages hereunder, if any, shall be limited in amount to the Transaction Processing Fees paid for one calendar year through the month prior to which the loss occurred. IN NO EVENT SHALL PAYTOO BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR INDIRECT LOSS OR DAMAGE WHICH THE MERCHANT MAY INCUR OR SUFFER IN CONNECTION WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE FROM SUBSEQUENT WRONGFUL DISHONOR RESULTING FROM PAYTOO'S ACTS OR OMISSIONS PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT.

- Termination of Service: PayToo shall have the right to immediate termination of this Agreement if the Merchant's representations and warranties contained in this Agreement are not true and correct both on the day made and at any time during the term of this Agreement.

Upon termination of this Agreement by Merchant as set forth in this Paragraph, the Merchant shall notify PayToo of the effective date of such termination, and any processing fees due to PayToo must immediately be paid upon notice of cancellation. Accounts are not closed until each account balance is paid in full. PayToo is hereby authorized to debit from Merchant's bank account the amount of all fees due upon cancellation. PayToo shall continue its obligation to notify Merchant of any returned transactions and Merchant will continue to authorize the settlement of such returned items to the Merchant’s bank account. Any termination by Merchant will not affect PayToo’s rights or obligations arising before the termination.
