In particular, Sionic, its subsidiaries and affiliates, and its licensors do not represent or warrant to Merchant that: (a) Merchant’s use of the Merchant Services will meet Merchant’s requirements; (b) Merchant’s use of the Merchant Services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or free from error; (c) any information obtained by Merchant as a result of Merchant’s use of the Merchant Services will be accurate or reliable; and (d) defects in the operation or functionality of Sionic’s mobile application provided to either Merchant or End Users as part of the Merchant Services will be corrected.

Sionic further expressly disclaims all warranties and conditions of any kind, whether express or implied, including, but not limited to the implied warranties and conditions of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, system integration, quiet enjoyment, and data accuracy. Certain jurisdictions may not allow exclusions of implied warranties, and you may have additional rights in certain jurisdictions, so the above disclaimers and exclusions do not apply solely to the extent prohibited by the laws of such jurisdictions.
13. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
    1. Merchant expressly understands and agrees that Sionic, its subsidiaries and affiliates, and its licensors shall not be liable to Merchant for:
       1. Any indirect, incidental, special consequential or exemplary damages that may be incurred by Merchant, however caused and under any theory of liability. This shall include, but not be limited to, any loss of profit (whether incurred directly or indirectly), any loss of goodwill or business reputation, any loss of data suffered, cost of procurement of substitute goods or services, or other intangible loss; or
       2. Any loss or damage which may be incurred by Merchant as a result of: (a) any reliance placed by Merchant on the completeness, accuracy or existence of any advertising, or as a result of any relationship or transaction between Merchant and any advertiser, sponsor or End User; (b) any changes which we may make to the Merchant Services, or for any permanent or temporary cessation in the provision of the Merchant Services (or any features within the Merchant Services); (c) the deletion of, corruption of, or failure to store, any content and other communications data maintained or transmitted by or through Merchant’s use of the Merchant Services; (d) Merchant’s failure to provide Sionic with accurate Merchant Account information; and (e) Merchant’s failure to keep Merchant’s password or Merchant Account details secure and confidential.
    2. Sionic’s maximum cumulative liability to Merchant with respect to the Merchant Services or these Terms, regardless of the form of action, is limited to the fees owed and paid to Sionic in the one (1) month period immediately before the date Merchant first made the claim against Sionic.
    3. The limitations on Sionic liability above shall apply whether or not Sionic was advised of or should have been aware of the possibility of any such losses arising and notwithstanding the failure of essential purpose of any limited remedy. The limitations in this Section 13 do not apply if and only to the extent that applicable law prevents the application of such limitations.
14. COPYRIGHT POLICIES.
    1. It is Sionic’s policy to respect the intellectual property of others. If Merchant believes that Content posted through the Merchant Services constitutes copyright infringement, please contact Sionic at the below contact information and provide the following: (a) an electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on the part of the rights holder; (b) a description of the work that Merchant claims has been infringed; (c) the location within the Merchant Services of the Content that is alleged to infringe; (d) Merchant’s name, address, telephone number and email address; (e) a statement containing Merchant’s good faith belief; and (f) a statement made under penalty of perjury that the information in Merchant’s notice is accurate and that Merchant is the owner or authorized to act upon the owner’s behalf.

    3. If Merchant’s Merchant Materials have been removed or disabled, Merchant may send Sionic a counter notice to the address listed above in accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3). Sionic may forward this counter-notice to the person claiming the infringement. Sionic will then take action accordingly.
15. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND BINDING ARBITRATION.
    1. Merchant agrees that Merchant and Sionic shall settle all disputes, claims and causes of action related to the Merchant Services or these Terms ("Claim") by binding arbitration in Atlanta, Georgia. The American Arbitration Association ("AAA") will conduct the arbitration in accordance with the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules (available at www.adr.org). Merchant agrees that the Federal Arbitration Act applies, and all disputes as to the enforceability of this provision will be decided in accordance with that Act. Each party is responsible for its own attorney’s fees and other costs with respect to any arbitration unless an arbitrator awards otherwise. The arbitrator’s award will be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
    2. Merchant agrees that Merchant may only bring a claim in your individual capacity and not as a class member or on behalf of any purported class, representative or private attorney general proceeding. Class actions, class arbitrations, private attorney general proceedings and consolidation with other arbitrations are not permitted, and Merchant hereby waives Merchant’s right to have any claim decided by any of those methods or to participate in any class action or class arbitration regarding a claim.
    3. If any provision of this Section 15 is found to be unenforceable, it will be severed and the other arbitration provisions will be enforced (but in no case will there be class action or class arbitration).
16. GOVERNING LAW.
    1. The Terms, Merchant’s relationship with Sionic under these Terms, and any related disputes are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. If, for whatever reason, any Claim is not resolved pursuant to Section 15, then Merchant and Sionic agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal or state courts located within Fulton County, Georgia.
17. MISCELLANEOUS.

    Merchant may not assign, novate, delegate, or otherwise transfer these Terms or Merchant’s rights or obligations without Sionic’s prior written consent. The Terms constitute the entire legal agreement between you and Sionic regarding the subject matter of these Terms and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, negotiations, representations and proposals with respect to the subject matter of these Terms. No failure or delay by Sionic to exercise any right, power, or remedy constitutes a waiver of that right, power, or remedy. Sionic’s waiver of the performance of any covenant or any breach is not to be construed as a waiver of any succeeding breach or of any other covenant. Merchant and Sionic are independent contractors, and nothing in these Terms constitutes a partnership between the parties or designates one party as the agent of the other. If any provision of these Terms is declared invalid, the provision will be ineffective only to the extent of the invalidity, so that the remainder of that provision and all remaining provisions of these Terms will continue in full force and effect. If any provision of these Terms requires interpretation, these Terms are not to be more strictly construed against one party than the other. Merchant’s signature or agreement via electronic process or method shall have the same force and effect as an original signature hereto.

Merchant Payment Processing Instructions and Guidelines

When Merchant’s End Users pay Merchant through Sionic’s Digital Commerce Services, Merchant may be the recipient of a Card funded payment or bank account funded payment. The organizations that operate these Card systems (such as Visa and MasterCard; collectively, the "Payment Brands") and bank-to-bank transfer systems (such a The Clearing House) require that Merchant (a) enter into a direct contractual relationship with an entity that is a member of the Payment Brand, and (b) agree to comply with all applicable Payment Brand Rules and Security Standards as they pertain to Transactions Merchant submits through payment processing service providers.

Sionic is not a payment processor. Sionic is a data submitter, on behalf of the Merchant, of the Transaction’s information inclusive of the End User’s payment information to the appropriate designated payment processor. Merchant is required to have a direct contractual relationship with a payment processor.

By agreeing to the Terms, which includes these Merchant Payment Processing Instructions and Guidelines, Merchant agrees to comply with all applicable Payment Brand Rules and Security Standards, as they pertain to Transactions Merchant submits for processing through Sionic.

1. Card Acceptance Policies and Prohibitions.
   1. Merchant shall:
      1. Accept all categories of Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover Cards, unless Merchant has (a) implemented acceptance restrictions that are permissible under Payment Brands’ rules and applicable Federal, State, and local law and (b) notified Sionic and Merchant’s payment processor of such acceptance restrictions that Merchant has implemented;
      2. Publicly display appropriate signage to indicate all Cards accepted by Merchant, including any acceptance restrictions;
      3. Have appropriate procedures in place to ensure that each Transaction is made only by the true owner of the Card used to make payment; and
      4. Provide the End User with a Transaction Receipt for each Transaction. All Transaction Receipts must conform to applicable law and Payment Brand Rules.
   2. Except to the extent permitted by law or the Payment Brand Rules, Merchant must not:
      1. Engage in any practice that unfavorably discriminates against or provides unequal treatment of any Payment Brand relative to any other Payment Brand;
      2. Set a dollar amount above or below which Merchant refuses to honor otherwise valid Cards;
      3. Issue a refund in cash or a cash equivalent (e.g., checks) for any Transaction originally conducted using a Card;
      4. Request or use a Card account number for any purpose other than to process a payment for goods or services sold; or
      5. Add any tax or surcharge to a Transaction; if any tax or surcharge amount is permitted, such amount shall be included in the Transaction amount and shall not be collected separately.
   3. Merchant shall not:
      1. Require an End User to complete a postcard or similar device that includes Card Information in plain view when mailed;
      2. Require the End User to pay the processing fees payable by Merchant to your payment processor;
      3. Split a single Transaction into two or more Transactions to avoid or circumvent authorization limits or monitoring programs;
      4. Submit any Transaction that Merchant knows or should know to be either fraudulent, illegal, damaging to the Payment Brand(s) or Sionic, not authorized by the End User, or otherwise in violation of any provision of these Terms, applicable law, or Payment Brand Rules; and
      5. Accept Cards for the purchase of scrip.
   4. Merchant represents, warrants, and covenants that, to the best of Merchant’s knowledge, each Transaction:
      1. Represents payment for or Refund of a bona fide sale or lease of the goods, services, or both, which Merchant has the legal right to sell and which is provided by Merchant in the ordinary course of your business;
      2. Is not submitted on behalf of a third party;
      3. Represents a current obligation of the End User to Merchant solely for the amount of the Transaction;
      4. Does not represent the collection of a dishonored check or the collection or refinancing of an existing debt;
      5. Represents goods that have been provided or shipped, or services that have actually been rendered, to the End User;
      6. Is free from any material alteration not authorized by the End User;
      7. Or the amount thereof, is not subject to any dispute, setoff, or counterclaim; and
      8. If such Transaction represents a credit to an End User’s Card, is a Refund for a Transaction previously submitted to Merchant’s payment processor.
2. Chargebacks.
   1. Merchant is liable for all Chargebacks.
   2. Some of the most common reasons for Chargebacks include:
      1. Merchant fails to issue a Refund to an End User after the End User returns or does not receive goods or services;
      2. Merchant does not obtain an authorization/approval code;
      3. The Transaction was prepared incorrectly or fraudulently;
      4. The End User disputes the Transaction or the authenticity of the signature on the Transaction Receipt, or claims that the Transaction is subject to a set-off, defense, or counterclaim;
      5. The End User refuses to make payment for a Transaction because, in the End User’s opinion, a claim or complaint has not been resolved or has been resolved in an unsatisfactory manner; and
      6. The End User disputes making the Transaction and the Card was not physically presented at the time of the Transaction. In this case Merchant acknowledges that if Merchant does not have an electronic record or physical imprint of the Card, the Payment Brand Rules may not allow Merchant to challenge the Chargeback.
3. Card Settlement and Funding.
   1. Sionic will submit Merchant’s Transactions to Merchant’s payment processor. Merchant’s payment processor settles the funds from the Payment Brands with Merchant; Sionic does not receive funds from the Payment Brands or Merchant’s payment processor.
   2. Sionic is not liable for any delays in receipt of funds or errors in settlement of funds by Merchant’s payment processor or Merchant’s bank.
4. Transactions; Card Information.
   1. By accepting Cards from Merchant’s End Users, Merchant acknowledges and understands the importance of protecting Transactions and Card Information and complying with the Payment Brand Rules, Security Standards, and applicable law. Merchant also acknowledges the heightened risk associated with access to Transactions and Card Information, and, to the extent Merchant does have access to Transactions and Card Information, Merchant must establish policies and procedures to protect such information in conformity with the Payment Brand Rules, Security Standards, and applicable law, including the storage and disclosure of such information. Merchant shall exercise reasonable care to prevent use or disclosure of Transactions, Card Information, other than to (a) Merchant’s agents and contractors for the purpose of assisting Merchant in completing a Transaction; (b) to the applicable Payment Brand; or (c) as specifically required by law. Merchant is permitted by the Payment Brand Rules to store only certain Transaction data and Card Information (currently limited to the Customer’s name, Card account number, and expiration date) and are prohibited from storing additional Transaction data and Card Information, including, without limitation, any security code data, such as CVV2, CVC2, and PIN data, and any magnetic stripe track data. Merchants shall store all media containing Transactions and Card Information in an unreadable format wherever it is stored and in an area limited to selected personnel on a "need to know" basis only. Prior to discarding any material containing Transactions or Card Information, Merchant must render all Card account numbers unreadable. If at any time Merchant determines or suspects that Transactions or Card Information have been compromised, Merchant must notify Sionic and Merchant’s payment processor immediately and assist in providing notification to such parties as may be required by law or Payment Brand Rules, or as Sionic or Merchant’s payment processor otherwise reasonably deems necessary. Merchant further agrees to provide Sionic, upon its request, with such tests, scans, and assessments of Merchant’s compliance with the Payment Brand Rules and Security Standards as may from time to time be required by the Payment Brands.
   2. Merchant acknowledges that Merchant’s failure to comply with the Payment Brand Rules, including the Security Standards, or the compromise of any Transaction or Card Information, may result in assessments, fines and/or penalties by the Payment Brands. In the event Sionic incurs any damage, liability, fee, fine, assessment or penalty ("Loss") as a result of Merchant’s breach or violation of the Payment Brand Rules or Security Standards, Merchant shall reimburse Sionic, as applicable, immediately for all such Losses. Furthermore, if any Payment Brand requires a forensic examination of Merchant or any of Merchant’s agents, business partners, contractors, or subcontractors due to a Data Compromise Event, Merchant agrees to cooperate with such forensic examination until it is completed, including, without limitation, the engagement of an examiner acceptable to the relevant Payment Brand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Payment Brands may directly, or demand that Sionic, engage an examiner on Merchant’s behalf in order to expedite the investigation of the Data Compromise Event.
