The Programa Terms of Service are incorporated herein by reference and by accepting this Agreement you are also accepting them.Programa is not a bank, payment institution, or money services business. We are instead, respectively, a supplier of the Programa Platform Services supplied under the Programa Terms of Service and of the Payments Services under this Agreement.
  2. The Processor The Processor under this Agreement is Stripe https://stripe.com/ which is a technical services provider and who may offer the services as an agent of one or more financial institutions in particular regions (each, a “Financial Services Provider”). The processing and settlement of Transactions (as defined below) (“Payment Processing”) is carried out by a Processor and any of its Financial Services Providers under the separate terms of service listed below. Programa, in its sole and absolute discretion, reserves the right to determine the Processor that shall perform Payment Processing services for each Transaction. Where Stripe is the Processor, Payment Processing is subject to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, including the United States Stripe Services Agreement and the applicable Financial Services Terms, and to the extent you use a payment method that is subject to additional terms, the Payment Method Terms (collectively, the “Stripe Terms”). By accepting this Agreement, you are also accepting and agreeing to be bound by all of the Processor Terms, which, in each case, is the legal agreement between you and the applicable Processor.Programa is not a party to any of the Processor Terms and is not liable to you in respect thereof. By accepting this Agreement and the Processor Terms you are agreeing to the creation of an account with each Processor for Payment Processing (each a “Processor Account”). We reserve the right to change the Processors, subject to the terms of our agreement with each Processor. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and any of the Processor Terms, this Agreement shall prevail, except in the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and the relevant Processor Terms concerning Payment Processing or the Processor Account, in which case the applicable Processor Terms shall prevail.The Processor’s role is to accept and process credit card, debit card and other types of payments (collectively “Cards”) with respect to sales of your products and services through internet-based Transactions (“Card Not Present Transactions" or “CNP Transactions”) -referred to collectively, as “Transactions”.

These penalties and fines will be passed on to you, or withdrawn as part of a collection payout to you.
  2. Security Interest As security for performance of your obligations under this Agreement, you grant us a first priority lien and security interest on all funds processed and deposited into all bank accounts or other financial accounts designated in your Programa Admin to receive funds from the settlement of Transactions, and any other bank accounts associated with your Programa Payments Account, and in any funds processed using the Payment Processing services. These security interests and liens will secure payment and performance of all of your obligations under this Agreement and any other agreements now existing or later entered into between us and you, including, without limitation, your obligation to pay any amounts due and owing to us. You will execute, deliver and pay the fees for any documents we request, and authorise Programa to take any other action necessary including registering notice of such security interest in a public registry, to create, perfect, maintain, and enforce this security interest.
  3. Our Collection Rights To the extent permitted by law, we may collect any obligations you owe us under this Agreement by requesting that a Processor deduct the corresponding amounts from a Reserve Account (as that term is defined below) or from funds payable to you arising from the settlement of Transactions. Fees will be assessed at the time a Transaction is processed and will be first deducted from the funds received for such Transaction. If these amounts are not sufficient to meet your obligations to us, we may charge the payment method associated with your Programa Payments Account for any amounts owed to us. Your failure to fully pay amounts that you owe us on demand will be a breach of this Agreement. You will be liable for our costs associated with collection in addition to the amount owed, including, without limitation, attorney fees and expenses, costs of any arbitration or court proceeding, collection agency fees, and any applicable interest.Further, we may deduct, or request that a Processor deduct, from any accounts associated with your Programa Payments Account, including the applicable Processor Account or Reserve Account, any amounts that you owe to us under this Agreement or any other agreement you have entered into with us or our affiliates. In accordance with the above and the Processor Terms you authorise us to debit your bank account, without separate notice, to collect amounts you owe under this Agreement, pursuant to the User Bank Account Debit Authorization (which shall form part of the “Processor Terms”).Additionally, we or the Processor may require a personal guarantee from a principal of a business for funds owed under this Agreement. If we or the Processor require a personal guarantee we or the Processor will specifically inform you in advance.In addition to the amount due, delinquent accounts may be charged with fees that are incidental to the collection of delinquent accounts and chargebacks, including, but not limited to, collection fees and convenience fees and other third-party charges.You hereby explicitly agree that all communication in relation to delinquent accounts will be made by electronic mail or by phone, as provided to Programa by you. Such communication may be made by Programa or by anyone on its behalf, including, but not limited to, a third-party collection agent.
  4. Reserves Funds held in reserves are amounts of money set aside to cover chargebacks, refunds, or other payment obligations under this Agreement (the "Reserve Account"). We (in our discretion) or the Processor (in their discretion) will set the terms of any Reserve Account and notify you of such terms, which may require that a certain amount (including the full amount) of the funds received for a Transaction are held for a period of time, or that additional amounts are held in the Reserve Account. We (in our discretion) or the Processor (in their discretion) may elect to change the terms of a Reserve Account at any time, for any reason, based on your payment processing history or as requested by our payment processors.We (in our discretion) or the Processor (in their discretion) may require you to fund the Reserve Account by means of: (i) any funds payouts made or due to you for Transactions submitted to the Payments Services; or, (ii) amounts available in your bank account by means of ACH debit to your Programa Payments Account; or, (iii) other sources of funds associated with your Programa Payments Account; or, (iv) requesting that you provide funds to us for deposit to the Reserve Account.You agree that: (i) you are not entitled to any interest or other compensation associated with the funds held in the Reserve Account; (ii) you have no right to direct that account; (iii) you have no legal interest in those funds or that account; and, (iv) you may not assign any interest in those funds or that account.
  5. Contesting ChargebacksYou or Programa may elect to contest chargebacks assessed to your account. Programa may provide you with assistance, including notifications and software to help contest your chargebacks. We do not assume any liability for our role or assistance in contesting chargebacks.You grant us permission to share records or other information required with the cardholder, the cardholder’s financial institution, and your financial institution to help resolve any chargeback. You acknowledge that your failure to provide us with complete and accurate information in a timely manner may result in an irreversible chargeback being assessed.If the cardholder’s issuing bank or the Payment Network does not resolve a dispute in your favour, we may recover the chargeback amount and any associated fees from you as described in this Agreement.We reserve the right, upon notice to you, to charge a fee for mediating or investigating chargeback disputes.
