2. Support.
Datacap may provide Merchant with support services related to Datacap Software. Datacap may also, in its discretion, issue updates, corrections, and new releases (a “Change”) to Datacap Software. Datacap is not responsible for any damages suffered as a result of such support services or Changes. If Datacap chooses to issue a Change, then the Datacap Software Terms of Use shall apply to such Change, and such Change shall be treated as incorporated into Datacap Software for purposes of the Datacap Software Terms of Use. Changes may require that Merchant agree to additional or revised terms and conditions as a condition of continued use of Datacap Software. For avoidance of doubt, Datacap has no obligation to provide Changes, maintenance or support to Merchant or any person having access to Datacap Software.
3. Access/Transmissions.
(a) Datacap will use reasonable efforts to ensure that Datacap Hosted Software is accessible on a 24/7 basis. However, there will be occasions when Datacap Hosted Software will be interrupted (i) for maintenance, repairs and Changes, or (ii) because of the failure of telecommunications or of Merchant’s devices or systems, each of which is beyond Datacap’s control. Datacap will not be liable to Merchant for any suspension or interruption of Datacap Hosted Software.
(b) Datacap Software offers a “store and forward” feature that permits Merchant to store transactions and defer authorization or processing in the event of internet outages, to avoid delays in servicing customers, or for another reason Merchant decides to use this feature. Merchant acknowledges that transactions that Merchant elects to “store and forward” are authorized and reported ONLY when those stored transactions are forwarded to and processed by the Merchant’s acquiring bank. Merchant is solely responsible for resuming the processing of transactions that Merchant elects to “store and forward”. Merchant further acknowledges that because of the delay in stored transactions being presented to the issuing bank, it is possible that Merchant may incur losses due to issuing bank denials of stored transactions. DATACAP ASSUMES NO LIABILITY FOR SUCH LOSSES OR FOR ANY OTHER LOSSES ARISING FROM DELAYS IN PROCESSING STORED TRANSACTIONS OR FOR ANY STORED TRANSACTIONS THAT MAY BE LOST.
(c) Datacap offers 3rd Party Products and Services from time to time, which may include products and services originated by various 3rd parties that are provided or supported by Datacap for the convenience and benefit of Merchants. 3rd Party Products and Services also includes products and services provided to Merchants separately and independently of Datacap that are dependent on the use of Datacap Software. Merchant assumes full responsibility and risk for the use of all 3rd Party Products and Services and is solely responsible for evaluating the accuracy, completeness, and usefulness of all services, products, and other information and the quality and merchantability provided through such services. Merchant understands and agrees that if Datacap Software is deactivated for any reason, Merchant’s use of and access to any associated 3rd Party Products and Services may be interrupted or deactivated. DATACAP ASSUMES NO LIABILITY FOR INTERRUPTION IN OR TERMINATION OF THE ACCESS OR USE OF 3RD PARTY PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, WHETHER PROVIDED TO MERCHANT BY DATACAP OR BY SOME OTHER 3RD PARTY.
(d) Due to the open nature of Internet communications, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be secure, and thus Datacap cannot guarantee that communications between a Merchant, on the one hand, and Datacap or payment processing providers, on the other, will be free from unauthorized access by third parties. Merchant assumes full responsibility and risk for the use of Datacap Software and the internet and is solely responsible for evaluating the accuracy, completeness, and usefulness of all services, products, and other information and the quality and merchantability provided through such services or the internet. Merchant is solely responsible for any security breaches caused by Merchant or its employees or independent contractors.
(e) In order for Merchant to use Datacap Software to process credit and debit card transactions and/or gift and/or loyalty transactions, it must first obtain a merchant account with a payment processing provider to which Datacap Software is certified. Datacap may assist Merchant in obtaining such a merchant account through one of its approved payment processing providers, but it does not guaranty that such merchant account will be approved. In order to obtain a merchant account, Merchant will be required to provide accurate and complete information about it, some of which will include personal information, and also will be required to enter into a merchant agreement with the payment processing provider. Datacap may not be a party to such merchant agreement and, in such event, it assumes no responsibility, obligation or liability in connection with such merchant agreement, including but not limited to any actions or omissions by the payment processing provider in connection with the administration or enforcement of it. The merchant agreement contains terms and provisions that establish a number of responsibilities and obligations in the acceptance and submission of credit and debit card transactions, including without limitation a host of rules promulgated by applicable card associations and network organizations. The failure of Merchant to meet these responsibilities and obligations may result in, among other things, the termination of Merchant’s ability to accept and submit credit and debit card transactions, which in turn will result in termination of Merchant’s ability to utilize Datacap Software for credit and debit card transactions.
4. Data.
(a) Merchant agrees that Datacap may maintain a profile of, and track, Merchant’s use of Datacap Hosted Software (the “Merchant Profile”), and may analyze the Merchant’s use of Datacap Hosted Software, in each case not in violation of these Datacap Software Terms of Use or Datacap’s privacy policy. Merchant maintains the right to request at any time that Datacap discontinue the use of such Merchant Profile by emailing or calling Merchant’s Provisioning Agent, provided that Datacap may continue to use the data from such Merchant Profile obtained prior to Datacap’s receipt of Merchant’s request for discontinuance.
(b) Datacap will in no event be liable to Merchant for the accuracy or correctness of the data or information passed between and among Merchant, Datacap and payment processing providers through the use of Datacap Hosted Software.
(c) Merchant is solely responsible for compiling and retaining for records of all data and information passed between and among Merchant, Datacap and payment processing providers through the use of Datacap Hosted Software.

5. Privacy.
(a) Datacap may collect, retain, use, process, transfer and disclose data and information collected from Merchant and its customers (including without limitation data and information associated with credit and debit card transactions and/or gift and loyalty transactions) in accordance with these Datacap Software Terms of Use and Datacap’s then current privacy policy, available at https://datacapsystems.com/privacy-policy or such other location as specified by Datacap. Merchant hereby consents, as a condition of its enrollment in and use of Datacap Hosted Software, to the collection, retention, use, processing, transfer and disclosure of personal data as described in these Datacap Software Terms of Use and Datacap’s privacy policies.
(b) Merchant is solely responsible for lawfully collecting and using data and information that it collects using Datacap Hosted Software, for providing any notices and collecting any necessary consents from customers to use such data and information, whether in connection with the services or products sold by Merchant or independent of such services or products (such as sharing identifiable information with third parties or using the information for marketing purposes). Merchant may be required by federal and state privacy laws, among other things, to maintain a privacy policy and to comply with that policy relating to Merchant’s use of customer data and information. Merchant is strongly encouraged to speak with a qualified adviser regarding Merchant’s practices and applicable privacy laws. Merchant must also comply with the privacy policy of Datacap in the use of Datacap Hosted Software.
6. Fees.
Datacap may charge a fee for use of the Datacap Software to Merchant’s Provisioning Agent or other third party partner, or to Merchant in the case that Datacap Software is provided directly to Merchant by Datacap, rather than thru the Merchant’s Provisioning Agent or other third party partner. If such a fee is charged directly to the Merchant, it will be explained in the merchant application or by separate notice to Merchant.
7. Termination.
(a) Without limiting any of Datacap’s rights under the Datacap Software Terms of Use, Datacap may terminate Merchant’s right to access and use Datacap Software if Merchant fails to comply with the Datacap Software Terms of Use, in the event of a breach of the Provisioning Agreement, or if the Provisioning Agreement is terminated, cancelled or expires for any reason.

For the avoidance of doubt, Merchant agrees that it is solely responsible for paying all sales and use taxes imposed on the license and use of Datacap Software, and Merchant shall indemnify, defend, and hold Datacap harmless from and against any and all claims for such taxes as more fully set forth in Section 10. The foregoing excludes any tax based upon Datacap’s net income.

If fees are charged to Merchant by Datacap under these Datacap Software Terms of Use, instead of through Merchant’s Provisioning Agent or other third party partner, then to access Datacap Software, the Merchant may be required to select a unique user name and password.

MERCHANT HEREBY AUTHORIZES DATACAP TO SEND, AND MERCHANT CONSENTS TO THE RECEIPT OF, “SMS” (I.E., “TEXT”) OR VOICE ALERTS, FOR THE FOLLOWING DESIGNATED PURPOSES: (I) TO NOTIFY MERCHANT OF NEW PRODUCTS OR FEATURES OFFERED BY DATACAP; (II) TO NOTIFY MERCHANT THAT DATACAP IS TRYING TO REACH IT; (III) TO NOTIFY MERCHANT OF CUSTOMER SERVICE ISSUES; (IV) TO NOTIFY MERCHANT OF SERVICE OUTAGES; (V) TO PROVIDE MERCHANT WITH INFORMATION REGARDING ACCOUNT BALANCES, TRANSACTIONS, AND SIMILAR MATTERS; AND (VI) TO NOTIFY MERCHANT OF ANY MATTERS RELATING TO HIS, HER OR ITS ACCOUNT. MERCHANT UNDERSTANDS THAT HE, SHE OR IT WILL RECEIVE FUTURE SMS OR VOICE ALERTS FOR THE AFOREMENTIONED PURPOSES BY OR ON BEHALF OF DATACAP TO THE WIRELESS PHONE NUMBER PROVIDED BY MERCHANT AND, HAVING RECEIVED AND REVIEWED THESE DISCLOSURES, MERCHANT UNAMBIGUOUSLY AUTHORIZES DATACAP TO DELIVER OR CAUSE TO BE DELIVERED, AND AGREES TO RECEIVE, SMS AND VOICE ALERTS USING AN AUTOMATIC TELEPHONE DIALING SYSTEM OR AN ARTIFICIAL OR PRERECORDED VOICE. MERCHANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE WIRELESS PHONE NUMBER PROVIDED IS IN THE NAME OF AND CONTROLLED BY MERCHANT, AS APPLICABLE, THAT MERCHANT’S CONSENT IS VOLUNTARY AND NOT REQUIRED (DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY) AS A CONDITION TO THE RECEIPT OF PRODUCTS OR SERVICES FROM DATACAP OR ITS AFFILIATED COMPANIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DATACAP SOFTWARE TERMS OF USE, AND THAT MERCHANT HAS THE RIGHT TO WITHDRAW THIS CONSENT AT ANY TIME BY PROVIDING DATACAP WITH WRITTEN NOTICE OF SUCH WITHDRAWAL IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DATACAP SOFTWARE TERMS OF USE.
20. Assignment.
Merchant shall not assign or transfer its rights or obligations under these Datacap Software Terms of Use without the prior written consent of Datacap. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a merger or consolidation involving Datacap or the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of Merchant’s assets or equity interests, these Datacap Software Terms of Use shall be binding upon the surviving entity, in the case of a merger or consolidation, or the purchaser, in the case of a sale of Merchant’s assets. In addition, either party may assign these Datacap Software Terms of Use, in whole or in part, to an Affiliate. For purposes hereof, “Affiliate” means an entity under common control with, controlling or controlled by a party. Subject to the foregoing, these Datacap Software Terms of Use shall apply to, inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon the parties hereto and upon their permitted successors and assigns. The parties agree to disclose the existence of these Datacap Software Terms of Use and the foregoing provision to any prospective merger or acquisition party.
21. Relationship of the Parties.
Merchants and Datacap are independent contractors and nothing in the Datacap Software Terms of Use shall make them joint venturers, partners, employees, agents or other representatives of the other party.
22. Confidential Information.
For purposes of the Datacap Software Terms of Use, “Confidential Information” means Datacap’s confidential and proprietary information (whether Merchant knew or should have known of its confidential nature, and irrespective of whether Datacap marked it as confidential), including, but not limited to, Datacap’s: consultant relationships; data; designs; formulas; information; intellectual property; plans; pricing; procedures; processes; revenues; sales information; schedules; specifications; usage information; and vendor relationships. Merchant will not copy, disclose, modify, reproduce, or otherwise use Confidential Information (except as may be expressly authorized by the Datacap Software Terms of Use) without Datacap’s prior written consent, which consent may be conditioned, limited, or restricted in the sole discretion of Datacap.
The restrictions on disclosure in this section will not apply to Confidential Information: (i) for which there is reliable documentary evidence that: (A) Merchant knew it before it was disclosed; (B) Merchant developed it without use of the Confidential Information; (C) it is publicly known; or, (D) it was obtained from a third-party, who disclosed it without breaching its confidentiality obligations to Datacap; (ii) for which disclosure is required by law (provided that if a disclosure is required by law, Merchant will give Datacap prompt written notice of such requirement, permitting Datacap to seek a protective order or take such action it deems necessary, and provided further that in such case Merchant will only disclose the limited Confidential Information expressly required to be disclosed).
For the avoidance of doubt, at all times, all Confidential Information is the sole property of Datacap, even if its disclosure is authorized under this section, and all other restrictions in these Datacap Software Terms of Use will continue to apply to such Confidential Information.
23. Non-Disparagement.
Merchant agrees not to disparage Datacap or its vendors, and promises to refrain from engaging, directly or indirectly, in any action, communication or conduct negligently, recklessly or intentionally undertaken to damage the name or reputation of Datacap or its vendors.
24. Survival.
All sections of the Datacap Software Terms of Use that by their nature should survive termination of Merchant’s use of Datacap Software will survive, including, without limitation, accrued rights to payment, indemnification obligations, warranty disclaimers, and limitations of liability.
25. Export Law Assurances.
Merchant may not use or otherwise export or re-export the Datacap Software except as authorized by United States law and the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Datacap Software was obtained. In particular, but without limitation, the Datacap Software may not be exported or re-exported (i) into (or to a national or resident of) any U.S. embargoed country or (ii) to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Table of Denial Orders. By using the Datacap Software, you represent and warrant that you are not located in, under control of, or a national or resident of any such country or on any such list.
26. Miscellaneous Provisions.
If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any part of these Datacap Software Terms of Use to be unenforceable, the remainder of these Datacap Software Terms of Use shall continue in full force and effect.
These Datacap Software Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement between Datacap and Merchant with respect to the license and use of Datacap Software and supersede and replace any and all other agreements regarding the subject matter hereof.
Any waiver by Datacap of any of its rights and remedies hereunder must be in writing to be effective and shall not be a waiver of any subsequent breach or additional breach. Datacap’s failure, neglect or delay to exercise any of its rights or remedies shall not be construed or deemed to be a waiver of those rights or remedies. Except as expressly set forth herein, Datacap’s exercise of any of its remedies will not be deemed an election of remedies and will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Datacap Software Terms of Use or available at law or in equity or otherwise.
27. Electronic Signature.
Merchant may become a party to, and become bound by, the Datacap Software Terms of Use by accepting it electronically over the Internet. This is done by clicking or entering “I Agree”, by providing an electronic form of signature or otherwise by affirmatively indicating acceptance or consent where requested on an electronic version of the Datacap document (any such method constituting an “Electronic Consent”). By providing such Electronic Consent, Merchant acknowledges that it has received and reviewed all applicable pages, terms and conditions of the Datacap Software Terms of Use, and it represents, warrants, consents and agrees as follows:
(a) The electronic application process allows Merchant to sign and agree to legally binding agreements online by providing its Electronic Consent;
(b) Merchant intends to use the electronic document process to provide its Electronic Consent;
(c) Merchant’s Electronic Consent is legally binding, and is governed by the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act of 2000, and/or the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act governances (or an amended version thereof) in its state of residence, and Merchant agrees to be bound by these governances;
(d) The individual providing Electronic Consent on behalf of Merchant is authorized by Merchant to do so; and
(e) The Electronic Consent will be binding upon Merchant, and will not be construed by a court of law to have any less effect than a standard ink or paper signature.
