I. General Terms of Service

1. About these Terms of Service

These Terms of Service constitute a legally binding agreement made between you, whether personally or on behalf of an entity (“you”, “Shop”, or “End User”) and Mechlynx, Inc., including its affiliates (“Mechlynx”, the “Company,” “we”, “us”, or “our”), concerning your access to and use of our websites (including mechlynx.com and our mobile websites), applications, software services and professional services, as well as any media, information, or content made available therein, therefrom or otherwise related to or connectioned therewith (collectively, the “Services”). You agree that by accessing the Services, you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by all of these Terms of Service (the “Agreement”). IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ALL OF THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, THEN YOU ARE EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED FROM USING THE SERVICES AND YOU MUST DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY.

Supplemental terms and conditions or documents that may be posted on the Site from time to time are hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference. We may make changes to this Agreement from time to time, and we will give you not less than thirty (30) days advance notice of any such changes and an opportunity to opt-out by sending an email to support@mechlynx.com. We will further alert you about any changes by updating the “Last updated” date of this Agreement. If you continue to use the Services following such thirty (30) days notice, you will have agreed to such changes and will be bound by them. If you opt-out of such changes, our legal agreement will continue to be bound by the last version of these Terms of Service that you accepted, subject to our mutual rights to discontinue our contractual relationship.

Additional terms and conditions with respect to new and add-on products and services may also be added to this Agreement at any time by appending them hereto. Such terms and conditions are “Product Specific Terms” as set forth below.

Except for certain kinds of disputes described in Section 20, you agree that disputes arising under this Agreement will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration, and BY ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND Mechlynx ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. YOU AGREE TO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights under this contract (except for matters that may be taken to small claims court), and your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury. (See Section 20).

The information provided on and through the Services is not intended for distribution to or use by any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation or which would subject us to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country. Accordingly, those persons who choose to access the Services from other locations do so on their own initiative and are solely responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable.

The Services and all Company websites are intended for users who are at least 16 years old. Persons under the age of 16 are not permitted to use or register for the Site.

2. Privacy Policy

Please refer to Mechlynx’s Privacy Policy (found here: https://www.mechlynx.com/privacy) which explains how we collect, use, and disclose information that pertains to your privacy. By using the Site, you agree to be bound by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into this Agreement. Please be advised the Services are hosted in the United States. If you access the Site from the European Union, Asia, or any other region of the world with laws or other requirements governing personal data collection, use, or disclosure that differ from applicable laws in the United States, then through your continued use of the Site, you are transferring your data to the United States, and you expressly consent to have your data transferred to and processed in the United States.

Further, we do not knowingly accept, request, or solicit information from children or knowingly market to children. Therefore, in accordance with the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (as amended), if we receive actual knowledge that anyone under the age of 13 has provided personal information to us without the requisite and verifiable parental consent, we will delete that information from the Site as quickly as is reasonably practical.

3. Registration; Rules For User Conduct And Use Of The Service

You must register for and maintain an account with us to access the Services. When registering, you must provide accurate and complete information and promptly update this information. If you provide any information that is inaccurate or incomplete, or we have reason to believe that the information is inaccurate or incomplete, we may suspend or terminate your account and your use of the Services. Only authorized users may use your account to use the Service and conduct other activities with us. You agree to keep your password confidential and will be responsible for all use of your account and password. You will not allow use of your credentials to access the Services through automated or non-human means, whether through a bot, script or otherwise. We reserve the right to remove, reclaim, or change a username you select if we determine, in our sole discretion, that such username is inappropriate, obscene, or otherwise objectionable. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your password and/or account. Mechlynx will not be responsible for any losses or damages arising out of or related to the unauthorized use of your member name, password and/or account.

By agreeing to this Agreement, you represent and warrant to us that: (a) you are at least the age of majority in the jurisdiction in which you live; (b) you have not previously been suspended or removed from the Services; and (c) your registration and your use of the Services is in compliance with any and all applicable laws and regulations.

If you are an entity, organization, or company (“Corporate Entity”), the individual accepting this Agreement on your behalf represents and warrants that they have authority to bind the Corporate Entity to this Agreement and the Corporate Entity agrees to be bound by this Agreement. You may allow End Users working for your affiliates to use the Services under your subscription to the Services, as long as the total number of users between you and all of your affiliates does not exceed the number of users that you are paying for under your subscription and as long as used in the operation of a single business. If you allow your End Users to use your account, you agree that: (a) you will at all times be liable and responsible for all acts and omissions of these End Users that use the Service as though those acts and omissions were committed by you; and (b) you agree that your affiliates and their End Users may have access to all data and information that you can access through your account and we are not responsible for enforcing any data access restrictions between you and your affiliates. Failure to do so will constitute a breach of your obligations pursuant to this Agreement. An “affiliate” means any entity that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, you control, by way of majority voting stock ownership or the ability to otherwise direct or cause the direction of the management and policies. If you registered for the Services under a name other than the legal name of a business, we may from time to time require you to verify that all licenses purchased by you are used only by you and your affiliates and in the operation of a single business. If you are using multiple End User accounts in connection with the operation of more than one business, you must disclose this fact to us at time of registration and renewal for the Services, as separate businesses require separate agreements with us. Failure to do so will constitute a breach of your obligations.

4. Software Subscription Service; Professional Services

You may access and use the subscription Services during a free trial (if applicable) and thereafter upon the successful processing of your payment until such subscription expires or is cancelled (the “Subscription Period”). Mechlynx offers the following Subscription Periods (which may be updated from time to time), but your term and agreement may vary:

Monthly Subscriptions.

If you elect to purchase a Monthly Subscription, the Subscription Period shall commence upon the successful processing of your payment and renew on the same day of each successive month thereafter, unless and until you provide Mechlynx with notice of your intent to cancel, or as otherwise may be terminated by Mechlynx in accordance with the terms set forth herein. No refunds will be given for partial months.

Annual Subscriptions.

If you elect to purchase an Annual Subscription, the Subscription Period shall commence upon the successful processing of your payment and automatically renew on the annual anniversary date such period began, unless and until you provide Mechlynx with 30 calendar day’s prior written notice of your intent to cancel the Annual Subscription, or as otherwise may be terminated by Mechlynx in accordance with the terms set forth herein. No refunds will be given on Annual Subscriptions.

Support.

If you are current with payment of Service fees, and subject to any other agreement that provides for support for the Service, Mechlynx will provide you with its standard technical support services relating to the Services, subject to any published support policies.

5. Payments.

‍(a) General Payment Terms.

Certain features of the Services may require you to pay fees, including all applicable taxes. Before you pay any fees, you will have an opportunity to review and accept the fees that you will be charged. Unless otherwise agreed, all fees are are non-refundable and payable in U.S. Dollars, Euros, Japanese Yen or Pound Sterling. Mechlynx reserves the right to change the required method of payment at any time, upon notice to you. You are responsible for updating your account information should the required payment method change. If you agreed to purchase a minimum number of End User subscriptions as part of registering for the Services (the “Minimum Subscription Level”), you must pay for at least that number of subscriptions during the applicable term. Additional subscriptions may be purchased at the same pricing during the term, with fees prorated for partial months, and you may make adjustments in the actual number of licenses from time to time, provided that you must always purchase a number of licenses equal to or greater than the Minimum Subscription Level. All fees paid hereunder are non-refundable and non-recoupable. You agree that your purchases under this Agreement are neither contingent on the delivery of any future functionality or features of the Services nor dependent on any oral or written public comments made by us regarding future functionality or features.

(b) Price.

Mechlynx reserves the right to determine pricing for the Services. Mechlynx will make reasonable efforts to keep pricing information published on the website up to date. We encourage you to check our website periodically for current pricing information. Mechlynx may change the fees for any feature of the Service, including additional fees or charges, if Mechlynx gives you advance notice of changes before they apply. Mechlynx, at its sole discretion, may make promotional offers with different features and different pricing to any of Mechlynx ’s customers. These promotional offers, unless made to you, will not apply to your offer or this Agreement.

(c) Subscription Service.

The Services include automatically recurring payments for periodic charges (“Subscription Service”). If you activate a Subscription Service, you authorize Mechlynx to periodically charge, on a going-forward basis and until cancellation of either the recurring payments or your account, all accrued sums on or before the payment due date for the accrued sums. The “Subscription Billing Date” is the date when you purchase your first subscription to the Service. Your account will be charged automatically on the Subscription Billing Date all applicable fees and taxes for the next subscription period. The subscription will continue unless and until you cancel your subscription or we terminate it. You must cancel your subscription before it renews in order to avoid charging the next periodic Subscription Fee to your account. You may cancel the Subscription Service at a termination point determined by your agreement and by contacting us at: support@mechlynx.com

(d) Delinquent Accounts.

Mechlynx may suspend or terminate access to the Services, including fee-based portions of the Services, for any account for which any amount is due but unpaid, including, but not limited to amounts due for subscription fees.

The only exception is that you may terminate with thirty (30) days’ written notice if Mechlynx materially breaches this Agreement and does not cure the breach within thirty (30) days’ of receiving your written notice.

20. Dispute Resolution

‍(a) General

In the interest of resolving disputes between you and Mechlynx in the most expedient and cost effective manner, and except as described in Sections 20(b), (c) and (g), you and Mechlynx agree that every dispute arising in connection with this Agreement will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of this Agreement, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of this Agreement. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND Mechlynx ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

(b) Exceptions.

Despite the provisions of Section 20(a), nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, provincial or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law.

(c) Opt-Out.

If you do not wish to resolve disputes by binding arbitration, you may opt out of the provisions of this Section 20 within 30 days after the date that you agree to this Agreement by sending a letter to Mechlynx, LLC, 8735 Dunwoody Place, STE R, Atlanta, GA, 30350, USA that specifies: your full legal name, the email address associated with your account on the Service, and a statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration (“Opt-Out Notice”). Once Mechlynx receives your Opt-Out Notice, this Section 20 will be void and any action arising out of this Agreement will be resolved as set forth in Section 21. The remaining provisions of this Agreement will not be affected by your Opt-Out Notice.

(d) Arbitrator.

Any arbitration between you and Mechlynx will be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act and administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, “AAA Rules”) as modified by this Agreement. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting Mechlynx. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement.

(e) Notice of Arbitration.

A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice of Arbitration”). Mechlynx’s address for Notice is: Mechlynx, LLC, 300 Colonial Center Parkway, Suite 100N, Roswell, GA, 30076. The Notice of Arbitration must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice of Arbitration is received, you or Mechlynx may commence an arbitration proceeding. All arbitration proceedings between the parties will be confidential unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Mechlynx must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If the arbitrator awards you an amount higher than the last written settlement amount offered by Mechlynx in settlement of the dispute prior to the award, Mechlynx will pay to you the higher of: (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator; or (ii) $10,000.

(f) Fees.

If you commence arbitration in accordance with this Agreement, Mechlynx will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than $10,000, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Fulton County, Georgia, but if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse Mechlynx for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.

(g) No Class Actions.

YOU AND MECHLYNX AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Mechlynx agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

(h) Modifications to this Arbitration Provision.

If Mechlynx makes any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to Mechlynx’s address for Notice of Arbitration, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Mechlynx’s address for Notice of Arbitration, in which case your account with Mechlynx will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.

(i) Enforceability.

If Section 20(g) or the entirety of this Section 20 is prohibited by applicable law or found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, or if Mechlynx receives an Opt-Out Notice from you, then the entirety of this Section 20 will be null and void and, in that case, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 21 will govern any action arising out of or related to this Agreement.

‍21. Governing Law

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Georgia without regard to conflict of law principles. Subject to Section 20, you and Mechlynx hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit and attorn to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts and federal courts located within Fulton County, Georgia for resolution of any lawsuit or court proceeding permitted under this Agreement. We operate the Service from our offices in Georgia, and offer the Service in the United States. We make no representation that the Service is appropriate or available for use in other locations.

22. Waiver

The waiver by either party of any breach of any provision of this Agreement does not waive any other breach. The failure of any party to insist on strict performance of any covenant or obligation in accordance with this Agreement will not be a waiver of such party’s right to demand strict compliance in the future, nor will the same be construed as a novation of this Agreement.

‍23. Severability

‍If any part of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable, or invalid, the remaining portions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. If any material limitation or restriction on the use of the Service under this Agreement is found to be illegal, unenforceable, or invalid, your right to use the Service will immediately terminate.

I. Definitions.

For the purposes of this section related to Mechlynx Payments, the following definitions shall apply:

“Charge” means a credit or debit instruction to capture funds from an account that an end customer maintains with a bank or other financial institution in connection with a Transaction.

“Dispute” means an instruction initiated by an end customer for the return of funds for an existing Charge (including a chargeback or dispute on a payment card network; and disputes on the Automated Clearinghouse (ACH) network) initiated pursuant to the Stripe Services Agreement or pursuant to your agreement with any Other Processor.

“Fine” means any fines, levies, or other charges imposed by us or Stripe or any Other Processor , caused by your violation of laws or this Agreement.

“Other Processor” means any payment processor or payment facilitator other than Stripe providing payment processing services to Mechlynx Payments customers with custom implementations.

“Refund” means an instruction initiated by you to return funds to an end customer for an existing Charge initiated pursuant to the Stripe Services Agreement or pursuant to your agreement with any Other Processor.

“Return” means an instruction initiated by you, an end customer, an issuing bank or an acquiring bank to return funds unrelated to an existing Charge initiated pursuant to the Stripe Services Agreement or pursuant to your agreement with any Other Processor.

“Reversal” means an instruction initiated by Stripe or an Other Processor pursuant to the Stripe Services Agreement or pursuant to your agreement with any Other Processor to return funds for an existing Charge. Reversals may result from (i) invalidation of a charge by the processor; (ii) funds settled to you in error or without authorization; and (iii) submission of a Charge in violation of the applicable terms of the Stripe Services Agreement or your agreement with any Other Processor, or where submission of the Charge or your use of Mechlynx Payments violates this Agreement, the Stripe Services Agreement or your agreement with an Other Processor.

II. Use of Payment Processors.

Except with respect to customers using Other Processors, payment processing services on the Site are facilitated by Stripe, Inc. (“Stripe”), and are subject to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which includes the Stripe Terms of Service (collectively, the “Stripe Services Agreement”). By agreeing to these Terms of Service or continuing to use the Services, you agree to be bound by the Stripe Services Agreement, as the same may be modified by Stripe from time to time. As a condition of us enabling Mechlynx Payments with Stripe, you agree to provide us accurate and complete information about you and your business, and you authorize us to share it and transaction information related to your use of Mechlynx Payments. If your implementation of Mechlynx Payments uses an Other Processor, you agree to be bound by your agreement with such party.

III. Payments and Fees.

All payments facilitated by us through the Services or otherwise shall be paid by providing valid credit/debit card information of an end customer to us for an authorized Charge for amounts due under the terms of a valid agreement for products and/or services by and between the you and your Shop and such end customer (“Shop Agreement”). The Shop and end customer each agree and acknowledge that Mechlynx is only providing billing and collection services for the Shop and is not a party to the Shop Agreement nor responsible for performance of or any obligations relating to the Shop or customer pursuant to the Shop Agreement.

IV. Payment Disputes Involving Mechlynx Payments

You may only submit Charges through Mechlynx Payments that are authorized by your end customers. To enable us to process transactions through Stripe or your Other Processor, as applicable, you authorize and direct us, our affiliates, to cause Stripe or your Other Processor to receive and settle any payment processing proceeds owed or owning through Mechlynx Payments. You may not grant or assign any interest in payment processing proceeds to any third party. You appoint us as your agent for the limited purpose of facilitating the direction, receipt, holding and settling of proceeds by Stripe or your Other Processor. You agree that Stripe’s or your Other Processor’s receipt of such proceeds satisfies the relevant end customer’s obligations to make payments to you.

Except where we have otherwise agreed, Shops maintain the direct relationship with end customers and are responsible for: (i) acquiring appropriate consent to submit Charges through Mechlynx Payments on an end customer’s behalf, as applicable; (ii) providing confirmation or receipts to end customers for each Charge; (iii) verifying end customers’ identities; and (iv) determining an end customer’s eligibility and authority to complete transactions.

Disputes may only be initiated through (i) Stripe and pursuant to the Stripe Services Agreement or (ii) pursuant to your agreement with your Other Processor. We are not responsible for or liable to you for authorized and completed Charges that are later the subject of a Dispute, Refund, or Reversal, are submitted without authorization or in error, or violate any laws. You are immediately responsible to us for all amounts paid to you through Mechlynx Payments that subsequently become subject to Disputes, Refunds, Reversals, Returns, or Fines regardless of the reason or timing and hereby agree to indemnify us for any such amounts and any charges, expenses, liabilities, losses or costs incurred by us in connection with the foregoing, including amounts claimed against Mechlynx by your end customers and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs we incur in order to collect such amounts. In accordance with your indemnification obligations pursuant to this Agreement, Mechlynx has the right to deduct from and offset from any payments which you may otherwise be entitled to receive any and all (i) fees owed to us in connection with or related to the Services or (ii) charges, expenses, losses, claims or damages incurred by Mechlynx from your use of Mechlynx Payments. We have the right to charge any of a Shop’s financial accounts on file with us the full amount of any such amounts, charges, and costs incurred in connection with any Dispute, Refund, Reversal, Return, or Fine, and you hereby consent to such charge. If, for whatever reason, you do not have a financial account on file with us, we reserve the right to collect any amounts due in connection with the foregoing through any other channels we deem appropriate or necessary.

In many but not all cases, you may have the ability to challenge a Dispute through Stripe or your Other Processor. We encourage you to review the Stripe Services Agreement or your agreement with your Other Processor to understand the process for doing so. Shops are liable for all losses they incur when lost or stolen payment credentials or accounts are used to purchase products or services from them. Mechlynx does not and will not insure any Shop against losses caused by fraud under any circumstances. For example, if someone pretends to be a legitimate buyer but is a fraudster, you will be responsible for any resulting costs, including Disputes, even if you do not recover the fraudulently purchased products or services.

V. Miscellaneous Terms Applicable to all Mechlynx Payments.

Taxes. Shops are responsible for charging and collecting applicable sales, use, property, and other taxes, fees, and other assessments and governmental charges, together with any penalties or interest thereon, levied on or associated with the Shop Agreement. You hereby indemnify Mechlynx from all liability on any such amounts.

Not an Agent. The Shop agrees and acknowledges that it is using the Mechlynx Payments and Site to facilitate the payments made under the Shop Agreement and, at Shop’s own risk, that Mechlynx is not an agent for either party.

‍Personal Guarantees. At any time or from time to time, Mechlynx may require that a Shop provide a personal guarantee from a suitable person in order to begin or continue using Mechlynx Payments. Mechlynx may at anytime and without notice suspect Shop’s use or access to Mechlynx Payments pending the delivery of such a guarantee and, if Shop refuses to provide or otherwise cannot provide such a guarantee within five (5) business days, Mechlynx shall be entitled to suspend or terminated Shop’s access to Mechlynx Payments as it deems fit without penalty or liability to Shop.

‍PCI DSS Compliance. In the course of using Mechlynx Payments, Shop will have access to and may collect, access, use, store, process, dispose of, or disclose credit, debit, or other payment cardholder information. Shop agrees and acknowledges that Shop shall at all times remain in compliance with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (“PCI DSS”) requirements, including remaining aware at all times of changes to the PCI DSS and promptly implementing all procedures and practices as may be necessary to remain in compliance with the PCI DSS, in each case, at Shop’s sole cost and expense.
