4Payment Terms
You will pay all fees due according to the prices and terms applicable to Your Services, including all optional or additional features that You select. All fees and charges for the Term, are due and payable in accordance with the rates and terms agreed by You for Your account. If You are past due in Your payments for any reason, the Service and other Services in the same order may be terminated without notice. Reactivation of the Service, if possible, after termination or cancellation for any reason will require the payment of additional fees. If You fail to pay fees when due, the Company may assign unpaid late balances to a collection agency for appropriate action. If legal action is necessary to collect on fees due, You agree to reimburse the Company for all expenses to recover fees due, including attorneys' fees and other legal expenses and all current charges for the Services as well as taxes and fees assessed against You or the Company on the charges and all late payments, interest, or other fees stated on Your bill.

The Company, in its discretion, may offer discounts or special offers from time to time.
The Company will calculate all fees. If You are an existing customer, log in to Your account to see Your fees and payment schedule. The Company may, upon notice required by applicable laws, at any time change the amount of, or basis for, determining any fee or charge or institute new fees or charges with respect to the Services. Upon renewal of the Term of the Services, the prices charged may be changed without notice to the then prevailing price for the Services.

Account Updater
As a convenience to its users, Company may subscribe to a third party service that can attempt to refresh expired credit card or debit card numbers with the numbers of replacement cards so that any of your Services do not lapse because the payment method initially on file with Company has expired ("Account Updater"). By registering for any Service, you consent to this third party service and to that service's use of applicable information from you solely in connection with the Account Updater. You also consent to Company's receipt and use of updated credit card or debit card account information from your financial institution in connection with the provision of any Service as provided in these Terms, the Privacy Policy, and any additional Company policy, as applicable.
5Term
Term. The initial term of Your Services starts on the first date that You register with the Company or use any Service, including by visiting any of our websites, and will remain in effect for the period of time corresponding to the plan You selected ("Initial Term"). At the end of the Initial Term, Your Service will automatically renew on a recurring basis for the same period of time as the Initial Term (a "Renewal Term") unless You cancel in accordance with Section 5(b). The "Term" means the Initial Term and all Renewal Terms, if any. If You do not cancel prior to the start of a Renewal Term, You agree to renew Your subscription for the Renewal Term, and Your Service will be renewed at the then-current rates and fees. Except as set forth in this Agreement, neither party will be liable to the other for any termination or expiration of any Service or this Agreement in accordance with its terms.
Cancellation/Termination by You
You may cancel Your Service and terminate this Agreement by providing notice to Your account manager or Turbify's customer support team at least ninety (90) days prior to the end of Your then-current term. After the Initial Term, Your Service will automatically renew at the then current renewal rate, plus any applicable taxes and fees, on an automatic-renewal basis until you cancel. An early termination fee may apply. In all cases, You remain responsible for all fees accrued on Your account until such time. Except as otherwise provided, no refund will be provided for any payments You have made for any Service. After cancellation is effective, You will no longer have access to Your Services and all information and Content contained therein may be deleted by the Company.
Termination by the Company
We may terminate this Agreement or any of the Services at any time, for any reason, upon notice to You. The Company may, but has no duty to, immediately suspend or terminate Your Service, terminate Your access and password, remove Your Service from the Company's servers, or remove any information or data within the Service, if the Company concludes, in its sole discretion, that You (a) have breached this Agreement, or any applicable law or regulation; (b) have provided false information as part of Your registration; (c) have failed to keep Your account information complete, true, and accurate; (d) are engaged in fraudulent or illegal activities or the sale of illegal or harmful goods or services; (e) are engaged in activities or sales that may damage the rights or reputation of the Company or others; (f) have caused a significant number of complaints for failing to be reasonably accessible to customers or timely fulfill customer orders; or (g) have become the subject of a government complaint or investigation (each "Termination for Cause"). Any Termination for Cause by the Company will take effect immediately, and You expressly agree that You will not have any opportunity to cure.
Termination: Legal Event
If a ruling, regulation, or order issued by a judicial, legislative, or regulatory body causes the Company to believe that this Agreement and/or any Service may be in conflict with such rules, regulations, and/or orders, the Company may suspend or terminate the Service or this Agreement without liability.
Effect of Termination of Services
Upon any cancellation or termination of a Service, including for past due payments, the Company reserves the right to permanently delete from its servers all information and Content contained in Your account or Service, including order processing information, mailing lists, files, email, and any websites generated by You or the Service. The Company accepts no liability for such deleted information or Content. Upon termination of the Service, You are solely responsible for all ongoing fees, and removing the Company as the billing and technical contact in connection with Your Store, unless the Company notifies You otherwise. You also acknowledge, that in the event of termination or cancellation, You shall be responsible for any post-termination chargebacks or refunds associated with Your account. Upon termination or cancellation, You shall maintain sufficient funds in reserve until post-termination chargebacks or refunds have been resolved. The Company may hold the final settlement for the allocated reserve period of ninety (90) days. Following the allocated reserve period, remaining funds shall be released to you. All sections of the Agreement which by their nature should survive termination will survive termination, including warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability.
Responsibility for Fees
If the Company suspends a portion of Your Services due to a violation by You of this Agreement or any law, regulation, or Policy, You will remain liable for all fees applicable to the Service as a whole. If the Company terminates Your Services, You are liable for the payment of all fees applicable to the Services up to the date of termination, in addition to any early termination fees.
Waiver. To the extent permitted by law, You expressly waive any statutory or other legal protection in conflict with the provisions of this Section 5.

20Merchant Pricing Terms & Conditions
1. Purpose
These Merchant Pricing Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern the pricing proposal provided by Turbify Payments (“Turbify”) and establish the information required to determine merchant processing fees. The objective of these Terms is to ensure that pricing accurately reflects the Merchant’s transaction profile and underlying payment processing costs.
2. Information Required for Pricing
To determine the most accurate pricing, the Merchant agrees to provide complete and accurate historical payment processing information.
The preferred documentation includes:
(a) A minimum of three (3) consecutive months of payment processing statements.
(b) A minimum of three (3) consecutive months of interchange and assessment (IC++) reports, where available.
(c) Monthly transaction counts.
(d) Monthly processing volume (GMV).
(e) Average Order Value (AOV).
(f) Domestic and international transaction mix.
(g) Refund and chargeback information.
(h) Any additional information reasonably requested by Turbify to assess the Merchant’s payment profile.
The Merchant represents that all information provided is accurate and complete to the best of its knowledge.
3. Near-Final Pricing
Where the Merchant provides all required documentation, including a minimum of three (3) months of interchange reports and processing statements, Turbify will perform a detailed transaction cost analysis.
Based on this analysis, Turbify will issue a pricing proposal that closely reflects the Merchant’s expected processing costs.
Pricing generated under these conditions is considered a Near-Final Pricing Proposal and is expected to closely align with the Merchant’s actual processing costs, subject to the accuracy and completeness of the information provided.
4. Competitive Blended Pricing
If the Merchant is unable to provide interchange reports, sufficient transaction-level data, or other required information, Turbify may, at its sole discretion, provide a Competitive Blended Pricing Proposal.
This proposal may be calculated using one or more of the following:
(a) Historical processing statements.
(b) Merchant Category Code (MCC).
(c) Business model.
(d) Geographic location.
(e) Average Order Value.
(f) Industry benchmarks.
(g) Estimated card mix.
(h) Estimated interchange and scheme fee assumptions.
(i) Other commercially reasonable pricing assumptions.
The Merchant acknowledges that Competitive Blended Pricing is an indicative commercial offer and does not represent the Merchant’s actual processing costs.
5. Pricing Assumptions
Where pricing is based on estimated information, Turbify may make commercially reasonable assumptions regarding:
(a) Credit and debit card mix.
(b) Card brand distribution.
(c) Consumer versus commercial cards.
(d) Regulated versus unregulated debit.
(e) Domestic versus international transactions.
(f) Premium and rewards card usage.
(g) Interchange qualification.
(h) Network assessment fees.
(i) Acquiring costs.
(j) Refund and chargeback ratios.
Actual processing costs may differ if these assumptions vary from the Merchant’s live transaction profile.
6. Post-Onboarding Pricing Review
Where a Merchant has been onboarded under a Competitive Blended Pricing Proposal, Turbify will conduct a pricing review after the Merchant has processed approximately three (3) months of live transaction data.
The review may include analysis of:
(a) Actual card mix.
(b) Interchange costs.
(c) Scheme and assessment fees.
(d) Domestic and international transaction mix.
(e) Authorization rates.
(f) Refund activity.
(g) Chargeback activity.
(h) Processing volumes.
(i) Average Order Value.
(j) Other payment processing characteristics that materially impact pricing.
7. Final Pricing
Following completion of the three-month transaction review, Turbify may issue the Merchant with a Final Pricing Proposal.
Where the actual transaction profile materially differs from the assumptions used in the initial pricing proposal, Turbify reserves the right to adjust pricing to accurately reflect the Merchant’s actual processing costs.
Any revised pricing will be communicated to the Merchant prior to becoming effective.
8. Material Variance
A pricing review may result in revised pricing where Turbify determines that there is a material difference between the estimated assumptions and the Merchant’s actual processing profile, including but not limited to:
(a) Significant changes in card mix.
(b) Higher than expected premium or commercial card usage.
(c) Increased international transaction volume.
(d) Material differences in interchange qualification.
(e) Significant refund or chargeback activity.
(f) Other factors that materially affect payment processing costs.
9. Merchant Acknowledgement
By accepting a pricing proposal, the Merchant acknowledges and agrees that:
(a) Pricing is based solely on the information provided by the Merchant.
(b) Failure to provide complete historical payment data may result in pricing being based on industry assumptions rather than actual processing costs.
(c) Competitive Blended Pricing is intended solely as an initial commercial offer.
(d) Turbify will review actual transaction data after approximately three (3) months of processing where pricing was based on estimated information.
(e) Turbify may revise pricing if the Merchant’s actual processing profile differs materially from the assumptions used in the initial pricing proposal.
(f) Any pricing adjustment will be supported by an analysis of the Merchant’s processing data and communicated prior to implementation.
10. Limitation of Pricing Proposal
A pricing proposal does not constitute a guarantee of future processing costs.
Actual processing fees may vary due to changes including, but not limited to:
(a) Card network interchange schedules.
(b) Card scheme assessments.
(c) Regulatory changes.
(d) Changes in the Merchant’s business model.
(e) Changes in transaction profile or processing behaviour.
(f) Payment network rule changes.
(g) Third-party processor or acquiring costs.
Turbify reserves the right to update pricing where such changes materially impact the cost of providing payment processing services.
11. Acceptance
By accepting the pricing proposal or executing the applicable Merchant Agreement, the Merchant confirms that it has read, understood, and agrees to these Merchant Pricing Terms & Conditions.
