In the event that You provide a purchase order or other ordering document to facilitate your purchase, such document is incorporated by reference only to the extent that it identifies the Services to be purchased, and all other terms and conditions included in such document are hereby rejected by Shift4Shop.

Your electronic acceptance and/or use of the Services signifies that You have read, understood and agreed to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement as well as any policies posted on this website and that by such acceptance and/or use of the Services You agree that any previous agreements between You and Shift4Shop will be terminated and superseded by this Agreement. You acknowledge and agree that Shift4Shop�s acceptance of this Agreement and the provision of Services are performed at Shift4Shop�s offices in Tamarac, Florida, USA. As part of your ability to accept/engage in financial transactions while using the Services, You will be required to establish a Payments Account. If you were boarded onto the Shift4Shop platform on, or after, January 24, 2021, Your Payments Account will be provided by Shift4 Payments, LLC (the �Processor�). You acknowledge that separate terms and conditions will govern your use of any services that may be provided by Processor, including your exclusive use of Processor to facilitate all transactions on/from your Shift4Shop site. You agree to comply with the Processor�s Merchant Processing Agreement Terms and Conditions, which may be amended from time to time, and are available at https://www.shift4.com/legal/ (the �Processor Terms").

Shift4Shop, in its sole discretion, may refuse to provide the Services to any one at any time and for any reason. If Shift4Shop exercises this right, Shift4Shop will not charge You for the Services and/or refund You for the amounts paid for the Services during the period that Shift4Shop invokes its right to deny Service.

Shift4Shop, in its sole and absolute discretion, may change or modify this Agreement, the corporate policies and/or Service Specific Terms (as defined below) which are incorporated herein, at any time, and such changes or modifications shall be effective immediately upon the earlier of: (i) our email notification to You advising You of such changes or modifications; (ii) your electronic acceptance of this Agreement after such changes or modifications have been made to this Agreement as indicated by the �Last Revised� date at the top of this Agreement; or (iii) your continued use of the Services after Shift4Shop posts the revised Agreement.

Shift4Shop, in its sole and absolute discretion, may alter or re-route transactions to be processed by a third party processor. Shift4Shop is only responsible for the obligations of this Agreement, and in no way bears any responsibility, or liability, for transactions processed and/or disputes between You and Your customers.

Shift4Shop may offer a mobile application that allows you to access your online store through your mobile device. If You access your online store via a mobile application, You agree that all the terms of this Agreement shall govern such access.

Eligibility, Representative, Account Ownership. The Services found at this Site are available only to Customers who can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. By using the Services found at this Site, You represent and warrant that You are (i) at least eighteen (18) years of age and/or (ii) otherwise recognized as being able to form legally binding contracts under applicable law. You further represent and warrant that You are not on the United States Department of Treasury, Office of Foreign Asset Controls list of Specially Designated National and Blocked Persons and are not otherwise a person to whom Shift4Shop is legally prohibited to provide the Services.

Customer shall designate a point of contact for Customer�s account (a "Representative"). Customer�s Representative shall have full authority to enter into agreements and make binding decisions on behalf of Customer. Customer agrees that Shift4Shop may rely on representations made by Customer�s Representative. Customer may change its Representative at any time by giving written notice to Shift4Shop in accordance with the notice provisions of this Agreement. Shift4Shop is under no obligation to accept instructions from anyone other than the Representative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Shift4Shop shall not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from Shift4Shop�s reliance on any instruction, notice, document or communication reasonably believed by Shift4Shop to be genuine and originating from an authorized representative of Customer�s corporate entity. If there is reasonable doubt about the authenticity of any such instruction, notice, document or communication, Shift4Shop reserves the right (but not the obligation) to require additional authentication from Customer. In order to permit Shift4Shop to protect the quality of its products and services, You hereby consent to Shift4Shop staff being able to access your account and records on a case-by-case basis to investigate complaints or other allegations or abuse.

Dispute of Site or Account Ownership. The entity or person creating the account and designated as the owner shall be deemed the account owner. For security reasons, only the account owner or Representative designated by the account owner shall be allowed to make changes, cancellations, or designate a new Representative. Disputes sometimes arise between or among multiple persons claiming ownership of or rights in a site, store or account. Shift4Shop is not obligated to and will not resolve any such disputes. If multiple persons are claiming ownership of or rights in a site, store or account, then Shift4Shop will, to the extent of its knowledge and ability, notify said persons of the dispute and demand that said persons promptly, conclusively and finally resolve the dispute in a manner which makes clear who the owner(s) and/or interest holder(s) is/are and in a manner which relieves Shift4Shop of all liability or obligations concerning the dispute. If the disputing persons fail to resolve the dispute within what Shift4Shop, in its sole judgment, deems to be a reasonable time, then Shift4Shop, at its sole option and without any obligation to do so, may suspend or terminate the account until such persons resolve said dispute and reach certainty regarding ownership of or rights in said site, store and/or account. The person or persons conclusively and finally determined by court order or settlement agreement to be the rightful owner(s) or interest holder(s) of said site, store and/or account shall be obligated to pay all amounts due and comply with any transfer policy, if required, to transfer ownership of the site, store and/or account to the rightful owner. Customer must contact Shift4Shop to transfer ownership of an account.

Failure of Payment. Failure of the Customer to timely pay in full all of said amounts shall be deemed a breach of these Terms and shall subject the account to immediate termination.

Recommendations. Shift4Shop personnel may from time to time recommend third-party software or other products and services for your consideration. Shift4Shop MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WHATSOEVER REGARDING PRODUCTS AND SERVICES THAT ARE NOT PURCHASED FROM Shift4Shop, INCLUDING THE COMPATIBILITY OF SUCH PRODUCTS AND SERVICES WITH Shift4Shop SOFTWARE. Your use of any such products and services is governed by the terms of your agreement with the provider of those products and services.

Software Updates. From time to time, Shift4Shop may update the software associated with a Service for many reasons, including but not limited to, (a) to maintain PCI compliance; (b) to fix bugs or problems in previous versions; and/or (c) to enhance functionality or features. Shift4Shop makes no warranty that such updates will not affect your use of the Services or introduce new but unknown bugs into the software. Further, Shift4Shop shall not be responsible for the effect an update has on any code not provided by Shift4Shop and any modifications to such code to restore functionality shall be Customer�s sole responsibility and cost.

Where support is provided by Shift4Shop, Shift4Shop will provide technical support for the most recent update or version of the Software associated with a Service. From time to time, Shift4Shop may provide support for an older version(s), however Shift4Shop reserves the right to suspend or terminate such support at any time, with or without notice.

Use of Customer�s Name and Trademarks. Customer hereby grants Shift4Shop a non-exclusive right and license to use Customer�s name and such of Customer�s trade names, trademarks, and service marks (collectively, "Customer�s Marks") as are listed on User Content (as defined below) or otherwise provided to Shift4Shop in connection with this Agreement: (a) on Shift4Shop�s own websites, (b) in printed and online advertising, publicity, directories, newsletters, and updates describing Shift4Shop�s Services, and (c) in applications reasonably necessary and ancillary to the foregoing. Customer may use Shift4Shop�s trade name, trademarks and service marks (collectively, "Shift4Shop�s Marks") in advertising and publicity in conjunction with the offering of User Content via Shift4Shop, provided that Customer shall submit copy to Shift4Shop for its prior written approval, and provided further that under no circumstances shall such use imply that Shift4Shop endorses, sponsors, certifies, approves or is responsible for User Content.

Use of User Content. Some of the features of this Site or the Services found on this Site may allow Customer to view, post, publish, share, store or manage (a) ideas, opinions, recommendations, or advice ("User Submissions"), or (b) literary, artistic, musical or other content, including but not limited to, photos and videos (together with User Submissions, "User Content"). By providing User Content to Shift4Shop via any method (e.g., site submission, email, survey responses, etc.), You represent and warrant to Shift4Shop that (i) You have all necessary rights to distribute User Content via this Site or via the Services, either because You are the author of the User Content and have the right to distribute the same, or because You have the appropriate distribution rights, licenses, consents and/or permissions to use, in writing, from the copyright or other owner of the User Content, and (ii) You do not violate the rights of any third-party.

The provisions in this Section apply specifically to Shift4Shop�s use of User Content posted to Shift4Shop�s corporate websites or submitted directly to Shift4Shop. The applicable provisions are not intended to and do not have the effect of transferring any ownership or licensed rights (including intellectual property rights) You may have in content posted to your hosted websites.

You shall be solely responsible for any and all of your User Content or User Content that is submitted through your Account, and the consequences of, and requirements for, distributing it.

You acknowledge and agree that:
1. Your User Submissions are entirely voluntary;
2. Your User Submissions do not establish a confidential relationship or obligate Shift4Shop to treat your User Submissions as confidential or secret;
3. Shift4Shop has no obligation, either express or implied, to develop or use your User Submissions, and no compensation is due to You or to anyone else for any intentional or unintentional use of your User Submissions; and
4. Shift4Shop may be working on the same or similar content, it may already know of such content from other sources, it may simply wish to develop this (or similar) content on its own, or it may have taken / will take some other action.
Customer hereby grants to Shift4Shop a fully-paid, nonexclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable license to use, display, distribute, reproduce, and/or create derivative works of any User Submissions or User Content in connection with the provision of the Services, or for any lawful purpose.

Sublicense. Customer may not sublicense or resell any of Shift4Shop�s Services to any third parties without the prior written permission of Shift4Shop. By way of example and not limitation, Customer may not provide Web Hosting services through its Shift4Shop Services to any third-party without Shift4Shop�s prior written permission. Any attempts to do so would be considered a material breach of this Agreement and grounds for termination of this Agreement.

Fees and Payment.
1. Fees. In consideration of the Services, Customer will pay to Shift4Shop all fees due according to the prices and terms listed on the website. To the extent permitted by applicable law, neither EU Directive 97/7/EC nor Regulation 13(1)(c) of the UK Consumer (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 will apply to Customer sales from Shift4Shop. Customer agrees that Shift4Shop may delay beginning performance of any Service for this Refund Period and that any performance begun prior to the expiration of the Refund Period will only be done with Customer�s agreement to waive such Refund Period.
  1. All charges must be paid in advance according to the then current prices applicable to the Services. All sales are final and Shift4Shop offers no partial or full refunds of any kind on any purchase unless otherwise expressly noted, even if your Services are suspended, terminated or transferred before the end of the Services.
  2. Shift4Shop expressly reserves the right to change or modify its prices and fees at any time, and such changes or modifications shall be posted online at this Site and effective immediately without need for further notice to You. Changes or modifications in prices and fees shall be effective when the Services in question come up for renewal.
  3. Shift4Shop may, at its sole option, extend payment terms to You. Should Shift4Shop extend payment terms, You agree that Your obligation to pay Shift4Shop for the Services ordered begins on the date of purchase and does not end until paid in full, even if the Services are abandoned, suspended, terminated or transferred prior to such time.
2. Payments. All recurring charges will be due on the applicable period anniversary date of your initial signup. It is Customer�s obligation to review all periodic charges for accuracy. Upon entering this Agreement, You choose to pay by direct charge to a credit or debit card and receive an electronic receipt for each transaction processed by Shift4Shop. If You choose to pay by credit or debit card, You thereby authorize Shift4Shop to charge your credit or debit card to pay for any charges that may be attributed to Your use of the Services. You agree that Shift4Shop may accumulate any supplemental charges, incurred by You in your use of the Services ("Supplemental Charges") until such charges exceed $10 and then charge your account. You must notify Shift4Shop of any changes to your card account (including, without limitation, applicable account number or cancellation or expiration of the account), your billing address, or any information that may prohibit Shift4Shop from charging your account.
3. Late Payments, Payment Defaults. If You fail to pay any fees and taxes within seven (7) days from applicable due date for credit card payments, the Customer account shall be put into a suspension period of an additional seven (7) days. During this time Customer access to the services may be restricted. If during this seven (7) day suspension period, Customer provides valid payment information and pays the balance due in-full, service will be reinstated upon the processing of the new payment information. In addition, your failure to fully pay any fees and taxes within fourteen (14) days after the applicable due date will be deemed a material breach of this Agreement, justifying Shift4Shop�s suspension of its performance of the Services and/or termination of this Agreement. You are responsible for any fees associated with reinstatement of Services. Any such suspension or termination would not relieve You from paying past due fees plus interest. Shift4Shop attempts to automatically charge the credit card on file for any past due invoice for current, suspended and cancelled accounts. Accounts suspended and reactivated must pay all past due and current amounts as well as a reactivation fee. Accounts past due over 30 days cannot be reactivated unless agreed to by Shift4Shop in its sole discretion. You must sign up for new service and pay the full setup fees associated with the plan You choose. If a payment is returned or rejected by Shift4Shop�s bank, or incurs additional costs for Shift4Shop (e.g., bank fees) for any reason, then Customer may be charged a service fee of $50.00 and be required reimburse all such fees and costs incurred by Shift4Shop, and Customer shall be immediately deemed to be in default of this Agreement. Accounts and all amounts in default are subject to a late payment charge of 1.5% per month, or the maximum amount permitted by law, whichever is greater, until fully paid.
4. Billing Policies and Cycles. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Shift4Shop, we offer billing via credit card or debit card charge only. All initial fees must be paid prior to service setup. These fees may include service setup fees and first period�s service charge. Shift4Shop provides customers several billing cycles from which to choose when signing up for service, including, but not limited to (a) monthly billing, (b) quarterly billing, and (c) annual billing. Shift4Shop will bill Customer, in advance, on a recurring basis according to the billing cycle selected by the Customer. The Customer may change the billing cycle using the online control panel at any time prior to the next billing period. The Customer understands that Shift4Shop has no obligation to refund any prepayment made by the Customer should the customer choose to change the billing cycle after a payment has been made. Our billing cycle begins on the day we setup your account. All Services will automatically renew for successive same duration terms unless You provide notice to Shift4Shop of your intent not to renew at least 30 days prior to the expiration of a term. All fees charged for additional Services purchased during the term of a plan and any additional fees and expenses incurred during such term shall be billed and paid in accordance with these Terms.
  
  Note: All billing correspondence (invoices, notifications, etc.) is communicated via email. It is crucial that You maintain a current email address with us.
5. Disputes. Failure to dispute a charge within three (3) months following such charge shall constitute Customer�s agreement that all charges are valid and Customer agrees to waive any claims it may have had regarding such charge.
6. Cancellation. Cancellation requests may be initiated by following the steps available at https://support.3dcart.com/Knowledgebase/Article/View/540/6/how-do-i-cancel-my-shift4shop-service.
7. If Customer defaults under this Agreement, Customer agrees to pay Shift4Shop its reasonable expenses, including attorneys� fees, in house legal expenses and collection agency fees, incurred in enforcing its rights.
8. Taxes. All fees charged by Shift4Shop for the Services are exclusive of all taxes, VAT and similar fees now in force or enacted in the future imposed on the transaction and/or the delivery of Services, all of which Customer will be responsible for and will pay in full, except for taxes based on Shift4Shop�s net income. If Shift4Shop is required to pay directly any such taxes, Customer will, upon receipt of Shift4Shop�s invoice, promptly reimburse Shift4Shop for any such taxes paid by Shift4Shop.

Acceptable Use Policy.
1. Acceptable Use Policy. Shift4Shop maintains a strict Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP"). In order to maintain our system integrity and resources, Shift4Shop expects our customers to act responsibly. When You use any Shift4Shop Services, in any form, You automatically agree agree to abide by the Acceptable Use Policy.
2. Shift4Shop reserves the right to place hyperlinks at the bottom/footer of your website.
3. End Users to Comply with AUP. Customer acknowledges that Shift4Shop may terminate an end user�s access to Customer�s website for noncompliance with Shift4Shop�s AUP. Shift4Shop may thus terminate such end user�s access to Customer�s Content even if the end user has not violated Customer�s own terms and conditions of use of its website. Shift4Shop acknowledges that Customer may terminate a User�s access to Customer�s Content for noncompliance with Customer�s terms and conditions.

PCI Guidelines. Shift4Shop provides a framework to its customers which is CISP certified under optimal security settings, and acknowledges responsability for the security of cardholder data transmitted on behalf of the customer. However, if You choose to utilize the software other than as intended, utilize third-party services or software, fail to install a SSL Certificate, or otherwise combine the software with software not approved by Shift4Shop (each a "Customer Fail Point"), You may fail to comply with the minimum PCI standards regardless of Shift4Shop�s certification.

Therefore, if You choose to engage in one or more Customer Fail Points, You assume all liability for your actions and the inherent risk associated with viewing, processing, storing or transmitting credit card information and You agree to indemnify Shift4Shop of any costs, claims or damages associated with such risk. Shift4Shop will not be responsible for any such risk or liability regardless of the security settings.

Further, if You choose to view credit card information, You are certifying that You understand and are following all PCI guidelines for viewing credit card information. These guidelines can be found at Visa�s website.

If You do not follow all of the PCI guidelines when viewing credit card information, You are in breach of your agreement with Shift4Shop and/or other third parties. You agree to indemnify and hold Shift4Shop harmless from any and all claims, costs or damages associated with your failure to follow PCI guidelines.

Regardless of any Customer Fail Point, You must comply with the PCI DSS and assume liability applicable to PCI DSS. In addition, per PCI guidelines, You must use a strong security protocol such as SSL to safeguard sensitive cardholder data over networks.

At its discretion, Shift4Shop reserves the right to change the security settings of any Customer at any time with or without warning. Shift4Shop further reserves the right, but not the obligation, to suspend or terminate any Customer that is suspected or proven to be in violation of minimum PCI guidelines.

You may terminate your right to access and use the Service only by logging in to the Site and following the applicable instructions. For security reasons, Shift4Shop requires that You authenticate any cancellation, including paying the stated termination fee where applicable (e.g., Merchant Services).

Shift4Shop may terminate this Agreement and/or your right to access and use the Service, in whole or in part, at any time and for any reason.

Customer agrees not to, directly or indirectly, utilize, or enable any third party to utilize, any information obtained or developed during the course of receiving the Services from Shift4Shop, to solicit any other customer of Shift4Shop or market Customer�s or any third-party products or services that are in any way competitive to the products or services offered by Shift4Shop or any of its affiliates.

Enforcement.
1. Investigation of Violations. Shift4Shop may investigate any reported or suspected violation of this Agreement or Shift4Shop policies, or any complaints and take any action that it deems appropriate and reasonable under the circumstances to protect its systems, facilities, employees, customers and/or third parties.

2. Actions. Shift4Shop reserves the right and has absolute discretion to restrict or remove from its servers any content that violates this Agreement, the AUP or related policies or guidelines, or is otherwise objectionable or potentially infringing on any third-party�s rights or potentially in violation of any laws. If Shift4Shop becomes aware of any possible violation by You of this Agreement, the AUP or any related policies or guidelines, third-party rights or laws, Shift4Shop may immediately take corrective action, including, but not limited to: (a) issuing warnings, (b) suspending or terminating the Service, (c) restricting or prohibiting any and all uses of content hosted on Shift4Shop�s systems, and/or (d) disabling or removing any hypertext links to third-party websites, any of your content distributed or made available for distribution via the Services, or other content not supplied by Shift4Shop which, in Shift4Shop�s sole discretion, may violate or infringe any law or third-party rights or which otherwise exposes or potentially exposes Shift4Shop to civil or criminal liability or public ridicule. It is Shift4Shop�s policy to terminate repeat infringers.

If Shift4Shop takes corrective action due to any such possible violation, Shift4Shop shall not be obligated to refund to You any fees paid prior to such corrective action, nor does such action eliminate Customer responsibility to pay for Services rendered but not yet paid, including, but not limited to, excess bandwidth charges, excess disk space usage, labor or other related services.
