PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY.
THIS RATIO SELLER AGREEMENT IS MADE AND ENTERED INTO BY AND BETWEEN RATIO TECHNOLOGIES, INC., A DELAWARE CORPORATION AND THE SELLER. BY ACCESSING THE RATIO WEBSITE OR USING RATIO SERVICES, SELLER AGREES TO BE BOUND BY THIS RATIO SELLER AGREEMENT AND RATIO PRIVACY POLICY. IF SELLER DOES NOT AGREE WITH THESE TERMS, PLEASE DO NOT ACCESS THE RATIO WEBSITE OR USE THE RATIO SERVICE. IN CONSIDERATION OF THE MUTUAL PROMISES, COVENANTS, AND AGREEMENTS SET FORTH BELOW AND FOR OTHER GOOD AND VALUABLE CONSIDERATION, THE RECEIPT AND SUFFICIENCY OF WHICH ARE HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGED, THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
This Agreement describes the contractual relationship ("Agreement") between Seller and Ratio Technologies, Inc. (“Ratio”)regarding Seller's use of the Ratio service as described below and the Ratio website and/or Application (“Website”), and the Seller's access to Seller's Ratio account information and services through the Website (collectively, the "Ratio Services" or "Services") concerning services and/or products rendered by Seller to their customers ("Subscribers”).
This Agreement shall commence on the date accepted by Seller sign-up (“Effective Date”) and, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing, shall continue for one (1) year from the Effective Date (“Initial Term”). This Agreement shall renew automatically for additional one (1) year periods (each a “Renewal Term”) following the expiration of the Initial Term and any subsequent Renewal Term unless: i) either party has provided thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to the other party of its intent not to renew; or ii) as otherwise stated in a writing signed by the parties. The combination of the Initial Term and any Renewal Term shall be the “Term”.
Ratio is a payment processing platform that enables Sellers to sell their accounts receivable arising out of Subscriber subscriptions (“Accounts Receivable”) and obtain such annual recurring revenue, less certain fees, in an upfront payment from or through Ratio.
To start using Ratio as a Seller, Seller needs to open a Ratio Account. You agree that all Account information provided by you is accurate. The parties further agree as follows:
Seller hereby appoints Ratio as an independent contractor to service and administer the Accounts Receivable. In order to facilitate the collection of amounts payable under such Accounts Receivable, the parties agree that Ratio shall act as Seller’s agent for collection, and that Ratio shall invoice Subscribers and collect such amounts as may be due thereunder.
If, for any reason, a Subscriber fails to pay any amounts which are part of any Accounts Receivable, Seller is liable to pay such amounts as further described below.
During the term of the Agreement, Seller agrees to enable Ratio as a payment processor within Seller’s checkout interface. Seller can offer the Ratio Services to Subscribers by implementing the Ratio functionality on any of Seller's user interfaces. These interfaces include, but are not limited to, Seller's website(s), Seller's application(s) or Seller's point of sale device(s). Acceptance of the Ratio Services constitutes a binding agreement by Seller, to provide the product or services purchased in the transaction.
For each Subscriber who submits an order to purchase a product or service from a Seller, and who has been approved by Ratio, Ratio shall create an order form (“Ratio Order”). The Order shall be transmitted to Seller and shall specify the discount applicable to that Order (“Discount”).
Funds from Ratio-processed transactions typically settle into Seller's external bank account within seven (7) business days after Ratio receives an Ratio Order. The amount paid by Ratio to Seller shall be equivalent to the amount paid by user as shown in an Ratio Order, less the Discount. Seller is required to have current, proper and active bank account information on file with Ratio at all times (i) prior to utilizing the Ratio functionality on any of Seller’s user interfaces, (ii) during the Term, and (iii) for thirty (30) Days following cancellation, termination or expiration of this Agreement. The exact settlement time will depend on explicit agreements and approval decisions made by Ratio. In some cases, due to risk decisions Ratio may implement a settlement time longer than this initial range. Seller will be notified of any proposed settlement changes one (1) Business Day before these changes are implemented. Ratio retains the right to suspend all settlements for Seller’s benefit at any time Seller does not have current, proper and active bank account information on file with Ratio.
Seller authorizes Ratio to automatically process via auto-debit/ACH Sellers on-file bank account to cover returns and refunds and reconcile amounts owed to Ratio, including any amounts resulting from a user’s failure to pay any Account Receivable.
In the event Seller’s bank account is closed or otherwise unable to receive funds (whether such funds are resting in the MIP or otherwise) for at least sixty (60) days (“Unclaimed Funds”), Ratio will attempt to contact the Seller about the Unclaimed Funds, in writing, at Seller’s contact information on file with Ratio. If Seller fails to provide commercially reasonable means to receive the Unclaimed Funds within sixty (60) days from the date of the initial request for Seller’s updated bank account information, then Ratio reserves the right to segregate and distribute the Unclaimed Funds at its discretion by check to Seller’s last known address on file with Ratio, or otherwise in accordance with applicable Delaware Law. It is Seller’s sole responsibility to ensure that Ratio has current, proper and active bank account information on file with Ratio at all times and Seller acknowledges and agrees that Ratio shall not be liable for disposition of any Unclaimed Funds made in accordance with applicable law at any time Seller has failed to maintain such bank account information with Ratio.
Seller is solely responsible for resolving any disputes or refunds requested by Subscribers,.
Seller agrees that Ratio may provide Seller Communications about Seller's Account and the Ratio Services electronically. Any electronic communications will be considered to be received by Seller within 1 hour after the time Ratio or emails it to Seller .
In order to contact Seller more efficiently, Ratio may at times contact Seller using calls or text messages at the telephone number(s) Seller has provided us. Ratio may place such calls or texts to (i) provide notices regarding Seller's Account or Account activity, (ii) investigate or prevent fraud, or (iii) collect a debt owed to us. Seller agrees that Ratio and Ratio's service providers may contact Seller using autodialed or prerecorded message calls and text messages to carry out the purposes Ratio have identified above. Ratio may share Seller's phone number(s) with service providers with whom Ratio contracts to assist Ratio in pursuing these interests, but will not share Seller's phone number(s) with third parties for their own purposes without Seller's consent. Standard telephone minute and text charges may apply. Ratio and Ratio's service providers will not use autodialed or prerecorded message calls or texts to contact Seller for marketing purposes at the telephone number(s) Seller designate unless Ratio receives Seller's prior express written consent.
Seller understands and agrees that Ratio may, without further notice or warning and in Ratio's discretion, monitor or record telephone conversations Seller or anyone acting on Seller's behalf has with Ratio or its agents for quality control and training purposes or for its own protection. Seller acknowledges and understands that, while Seller's communications with Ratio may be overheard, monitored, or recorded without further notice or warning, not all telephone lines or calls may be recorded by Ratio, and Ratio does not guarantee that recordings of any particular telephone calls will be retained or retrievable.
By signing up with Ratio, Seller is agreeing to let Ratio use Seller's company name, brand mark, social and public assets in Ratio marketing materials and communications during the Term of the Agreement.
If Seller receives Information about a Subscriber through the Ratio Services, Seller shall collect, use, disclose, and discard such Information in accordance with Ratio’s Privacy Policy and all laws, rules, and regulations applicable to Seller and the Subscriber. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller must keep the Information confidential and only use such information in connection with Ratio Services. Seller may not disclose or distribute a Subscriber's Information to a third party or use the Information for marketing purposes except in accordance with Ratio’s Privacy Policy and unless Seller receives the Subscriber's express consent to do so. Seller may not send unsolicited emails to a Subscriber or use Ratio Services for sending, or assisting in sending, unsolicited emails to third parties. For greater clarity, each party agrees to comply with all applicable laws relating to the protection, sharing, handling and use of any personally identifiable information, sensitive information or other similar information (“Regulated Information”), including, without limitation, the storage of such Regulated Information for the maximum period of time as such laws, rules and regulations may permit or require and the destruction or disposal of such Information in Seller’s possession forthwith thereafter.
Seller is responsible for maintaining adequate security and control of any and all IDs, passwords, personal identification numbers (PINs), or any other codes that Seller uses to access the Ratio Services.
Each party agrees to protect the other party’s Confidential Information, using at least the same degree of care that it uses to protect its own confidential and proprietary information of similar importance, but no less than a reasonable degree of care. The receiving party may use and copy the Confidential Information only to the extent necessary for the performance of its obligations under the Agreement. The receiving party agrees not to disclose Confidential Information to any person except those Affiliates and representatives who need to know such information in connection with the performance of the Agreement. The receiving party shall be responsible for any violation of the terms of this Section by its representatives or Affiliates and shall promptly notify the disclosing party of any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information of which the receiving party becomes aware. The receiving party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent required by law, or with the prior written consent of the disclosing party. Ratio is entitled to disclose Confidential Information to its subcontractors, external advisors and Affiliates, provided that such parties are subject to confidentiality obligations at least as protective as those set forth in this section. In the event of legally required disclosure, the receiving party shall make reasonable efforts to give the disclosing party notice of such requirement prior to disclosure so that the disclosing party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy to prevent or limit the scope of disclosure.
Seller authorizes Ratio, directly or through third parties, to make any inquiries we consider necessary to validate Seller's identity. This may include asking Seller for further Information, requiring Seller to provide Seller's date of birth, a taxpayer identification number, current bank account information and other Information that will allow us to reasonably identify Seller, requiring Seller to take steps to confirm ownership of Seller's email address or financial instruments, ordering a credit report, or verifying Seller's Information against third party databases or through other sources. We may also ask to see Seller's driver’s license or other identifying documents at any time. Ratio reserves the right to close, suspend, or limit access to Seller's Account and/or Ratio Services in the event we are unable to obtain or verify this Information.
In connection with Seller's use of our Website, Seller's Account, the Ratio Services, or in the course of Seller's interactions with Ratio, other Subscribers, or third parties, Seller will not:
Seller is responsible for all reversals, fees, fines, penalties and other liability incurred by Ratio, a Subscriber, or a third party caused by or arising out of Seller's breach of this Agreement, and/or Seller's use of Ratio Services. Seller agrees to reimburse Ratio, a Subscriber, or a third party for any and all such liability.
In the event that Seller is liable for any amounts owed to Ratio, Seller authorizes Ratio to immediately remove such amounts from Seller's bank account on file. If Seller does not have sufficient funds in Seller's bank account, Seller acknowledges that Ratio may engage in collection efforts to recover such amounts from Seller.
If Ratio, in its sole discretion, believes that Seller may have engaged in any Restricted Activities, we may take various actions to protect Ratio, Subscribers, other third parties, or Seller from reversals, fees, fines, penalties and any other liability. The actions we may take include but are not limited to the following:
Each party will establish, maintain and implement an information security program, including appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards, designed to (i) ensure the security and confidentiality of Regulated Information, (ii) protect against any reasonably anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such Regulated Information, and (iii) protect against unauthorized access to or use of such Regulated Information that could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to the other party or a data subject/owner and/or violation of law. Each party complied, and is presently in compliance with its privacy policy and all third-party obligations and applicable laws regarding the collection, use, transfer, storage, protection, disposal and disclosure by it and its subsidiaries of Regulated Information.
In no event shall we, our parent and affiliates, and the officers, directors, agents, joint venturers, employees and suppliers of ratio, our parent or our affiliates be liable for lost profits or any special, incidental or consequential damages (including without limitation damages for loss of data or loss of business) arising out of or in connection with our website, application, the ratio services, or this agreement (however arising, including negligence), unless and to the extent prohibited by law. Our liability, and the liability of our parent and affiliates, and our and their respective officers, directors, agents, joint venturers, employees and suppliers, to seller in any circumstance is limited to the amount of fees paid in the twelve months preceding the event that gave rise to the claim. In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable law, ratio, our parent, and affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, agents, joint venturers, employees, and suppliers are not liable, and seller agrees not to hold these parties responsible, for any damages or losses (including, but not limited to, loss of money, goodwill, or reputation, profits, or other intangible losses or any special, indirect, or consequential damages) resulting directly or indirectly from: (1) seller’s use of or seller’s inability to use ratio’s websites, applications, and services; (2) delays or disruptions in ratio’s websites, applications, and services; (3) viruses or other malicious software obtained by accessing ratio’s websites, applications or services or any site or service linked to ratio’s websites, applications or services; (4) glitches, bugs, errors, or inaccuracies of any kind in ratio’s websites, applications or services or in the information and graphics obtained from them; (5) the content, actions, or inactions of third parties; (6) a suspension or other action taken with respect to seller’s account; (7) seller’s need to modify practices, content, or behavior, or seller’s loss of or inability to do business, as a result of changes to this seller agreement or ratio’s policies. ratio reserves the right to modify its policies and this seller agreement at any time consistent with the provisions outlined herein.
The Ratio services are provided "as is" and without any representation or warranty, whether express, implied or statutory. Ratio, our parent and affiliates, and the officers, directors, agents, joint venturers, employees and suppliers of Ratio, our parent or our affiliates, specifically disclaim any implied warranties of title, sellerability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.
Ratio does not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted or secure access to any part of the Ratio Services, and operation of our site may be interfered with by numerous factors outside of our control. Ratio will make reasonable efforts to ensure that requests for electronic debits and credits involving bank accounts, credit cards, and check issuances are processed in a timely manner but Ratio makes no representations or warranties regarding the amount of time needed to complete processing because the Ratio Services are dependent upon many factors outside of our control, such as delays in the banking system or the U.S. and Canadian or international mail service. Certain Ratio Services may not be available to Seller based on residency, geographic location or other eligibility criteria. Some states do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties, so the foregoing disclaimers may not apply to Seller. This paragraph gives Seller specific legal rights and Seller may also have other legal rights that vary from state to state, country to country.
Each party agrees to comply with all applicable laws and regulations including, but not limited to, regulations around anti-corruption, anti-bribery, consumer protection, export, data protection, data security, prohibition of modern slavery/human trafficking and equal opportunity. Failure to comply with this section shall be a material breach of this agreement.
Either Party may terminate for cause in the event of any one or more of the following events: (a) a Party fails to make a payment of any amount due and payable pursuant to this Agreement and such failure remains unremedied for a period of ten (10) business days after the non-defaulting Party gives written notice thereof; (b) such Party fails to perform, satisfy or comply with any material obligation, condition, covenant or other provision contained in this Agreement and such failure remains unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the other Party gives written notice thereof specifying the nature of such failure in reasonable detail or immediately where such a cure can not be effectuated in a timely manner or there is continued risk to Ratio; (c) any representation or warranty by such Party contained in this Agreement fails to be true and correct in any material respect as of the date when made or at any time during the Term; (d) a Bankruptcy, liquidation or insolvency event; and/or (e) there are excessive chargebacks or losses.
If a party is unable to perform or is delayed in performing, in whole or in part, its obligations under this Agreement, as a direct result of a Force Majeure Event affecting such Party, then that Party shall promptly notify the other Party of the Force Majeure Event with reasonably full particulars and timing of such event. Such Party also shall promptly notify the other Party when the Force Majeure Event terminates or no longer adversely affects its ability to perform under this Agreement. The obligations of the Party giving notice, so far as they are affected by the Force Majeure Event, shall be suspended during, but not longer than, the continuance of the Force Majeure Event, and any failure to perform or adhere to any obligation or covenant hereunder shall not constitute a Termination Event, Ratio Termination Event, or Seller Termination Event, as applicable.
If we are conducting an investigation on Seller’s account, we may hold Seller’s Balance for up to 180 Days to protect Ratio, its affiliates, or a third party against the risk of Reversals, fees, fines, penalties and other liability. Seller will remain liable for all obligations related to your Account even after the Account is closed. Seller agrees to an extended funds settlement period of 60 days at account closure to ensure funds are available for returns and refunds.
If a dispute arises between Seller and Ratio, our goal is to learn about and address Seller's concerns and, if we are unable to do so to Seller's satisfaction, to provide Seller with a neutral and cost-effective means of resolving the dispute quickly. Disputes between Seller and Ratio regarding the Ratio Services may be reported to support@ratiotech.com.
Seller agrees that, except to the extent inconsistent with or preempted by federal law and except as otherwise stated in this Seller Agreement, the laws of the State of California without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern this Seller Agreement and any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between Seller and Ratio.
Seller and Ratio each agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between Seller and Ratio, including without limitation federal and state statutory claims, common law claims, and those based in contract, tort, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that Seller may assert claims in small claims court, if Seller's claims qualify and so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis. This Agreement to Arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement to Arbitrate.
Seller and ratio agree that each of us may bring claims against the other only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action or proceeding. Unless both seller and ratio agree otherwise, the arbitrator(s) may not consolidate or join more than one person's or party's claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a consolidated, representative, or class proceeding. Also, the arbitrator(s) may award relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief necessitated by that party's individual claim(s). Any relief awarded cannot affect other ratio users.
Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator or arbitrators instead of a judge or jury, and court review of an arbitration award is very limited. However, the arbitrator(s) can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual. The arbitrator(s) also must follow the terms of this Seller Agreement as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator(s) to decide, except that issues relating to arbitrability, the scope or enforceability of this Agreement to Arbitrate, or the interpretation of subsection (13.3.1) of this Agreement to Arbitrate (“Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief”), shall be for a court of competent jurisdiction to decide.
The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its rules and procedures, including the AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules (as applicable), as modified by this Agreement to Arbitrate. The AAA's rules are available at www.adr.org. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a completed form Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to Ratio should be sent to Ratio, Inc., at claims@ratiotech.com. Ratio will send any Notice to Seller to the physical address we have on file associated with Seller's Ratio Account; it is Seller's responsibility to keep Seller's physical address up to date. All information called for in the Notice must be provided including a description of the nature and basis of the claims the party is asserting and the relief sought. If Seller and Ratio are unable to resolve the claims described in the Notice within 30 Days after the Notice is sent, Seller or Ratio may initiate arbitration proceedings. A form for initiating arbitration proceedings is available on the AAA's website at www.adr.org. The arbitration shall be held in San Francisco, CA. If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, Seller or Ratio may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding on Seller and Ratio subject to the discretion of the arbitrator(s) to require an in-person hearing, if the circumstances warrant. In cases where an in-person hearing is held, Seller and/or Ratio may attend by telephone, unless the arbitrator(s) require otherwise. Any settlement offer made by Seller or Ratio shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator(s).
The arbitrator(s) will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with applicable law, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The award of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules unless otherwise stated in this Agreement to Arbitrate. At Seller's request, Ratio will pay as much of the filing, administration, and arbitrator fees as the arbitrator(s) deem necessary to prevent the cost of accessing the arbitration from being prohibitive. In the event the arbitrator(s) determine the claim(s) Seller asserts in the arbitration to be frivolous, Seller agrees to reimburse Ratio for all fees associated with the arbitration paid by Ratio on Seller's behalf that Seller otherwise would be obligated to pay under the AAA's rules.
With the exception of any of the provisions in subsection (13.3.1) of this Agreement to Arbitrate ("Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief"), if a court decides that any part of this Agreement to Arbitrate is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this Agreement to Arbitrate shall still apply. If a court decides that any of the provisions in subsection (13.3.1) of this Agreement to Arbitrate ("Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief") is invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Agreement to Arbitrate shall be null and void. The remainder of this Seller Agreement will continue to apply.
Notwithstanding any provision in this Seller Agreement to the contrary, Seller and we agree that if we make any amendment to this Agreement to Arbitrate (other than an amendment to any notice address or website link provided herein) in the future, that amendment shall not apply to any claim that was filed in a legal proceeding against Ratio prior to the effective date of the amendment. The amendment shall apply to all other disputes or claims governed by the Agreement to Arbitrate that have arisen or may arise between Seller and Ratio. We will notify Seller of amendments to this Agreement to Arbitrate by posting the amended terms on www.ratiotech.com at least 30 days before the effective date of the amendments and by providing notice through email. If Seller does not agree to these amended terms, Seller may close Seller's account within the 30 day period, and Seller will not be bound by the amended terms.
If any proceeding by or against Seller is commenced under any provision of Seller's government's bankruptcy code or under any other bankruptcy or insolvency law, Ratio will be entitled to recover all reasonable costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement.
Our failure to act with respect to a breach by Seller or others does not waive our right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches.
Seller agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Ratio, our parent, Affiliates and the officers, directors, agents, joint venturers, employees and suppliers of Ratio, our parent, or our Affiliates, harmless from any claim or demand (including attorneys’ fees) made or incurred by any third party due to or arising out of Seller's breach of this Agreement (including, without limitation, breach of any representation made or warranty given by Seller herein), Seller's improper use of the Ratio Services, and/or Seller's violation of any law or the rights of a third party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Section 13.6 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
If Seller has a dispute with one or more Subscribers, Seller releases Ratio (and our parent, our Affiliates, and our and their respective officers, directors, agents, joint ventures, employees and suppliers) from any and all Claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. In entering into this release, Seller expressly waive any protections that would otherwise limit the coverage of this release to include only those claims which Seller may know or suspect to exist in Seller's favor at the time of agreeing to this release.
