The Merchant's standard terms and conditions (if any) attached to, enclosed with or referred to in any purchase order or other Document shall not govern the Contract.

1.3 Quotations are given by SalePay on the basis that no Contract shall come into existence except in accordance with condition 2.2. Any quotation can be withdrawn or amended by SalePay at any time prior to a Contract being formed.

3.1 SalePay shall use reasonable endeavours to provide the Services to the Merchant, in accordance in all material respects with these conditions and any Special Conditions.

3.2 SalePay shall be entitled to suspend the Services (or any part thereof) at any time with immediate effect:

(a) for operational reasons, such as repair, maintenance, improvement provided that SalePay shall endeavour to give the Merchant as much as notice as is reasonably possible before doing so and shall restore the Service as soon as reasonably practicable following any such suspension;

(b) where SalePay reasonably believes that the continued provision of the Services represents a threat or potential threat to the operation, security or functionality of any or all of the following (or any part thereof):

(i) the integrity of the SalePay Equipment and computer server hardware;

(ii) the Merchant's Equipment;

(iii) the system or operation of any Third Party;

(iv) any aspect of services provided to a Third Party by SalePay; or

(v) where SalePay identifies or reasonably suspects any out of character traffic profile attributable or connected to the utilisation of the Services by the Merchant (e.g MPTV). SalePay will promptly contact the Merchant to advise if the MPTV is being exceeded, ahead of suspending the service. For the avoidance of doubt, the right to suspend is designed to protect the Service from risks such as DDoS and all reasonable steps will be taken to maintain the service.

3.4 SalePay shall have the right to vary at any time the Services supplied to the Merchant pursuant to the Contract in order to comply with any law, regulation, industry standard (including without limitation any PCI standard or best practice) in any relevant jurisdiction and SalePay shall endeavour to provide the Merchant with reasonable notice prior to doing so.

3.5 SalePay shall be entitled to change the technical specification of the Services for purely operational reasons provided that any change to technical specification will not materially reduce the performance of the Services.

3.6 SalePay shall endeavour to provide an uninterrupted Service with 99.5% availability (excluding scheduled service maintenance, of which SalePay shall use its reasonable endeavours to give the Merchant reasonable notice to ensure minimum disruption to the Merchant. It shall be the responsibility of the Merchant to act in accordance with SalePay's reasonable instructions in such circumstances.).

3.8 SalePay shall have the right, at any time, and for any reason whatsoever to decline to allow any prospective Third Party customer, e.g a customer of the Merchants who may wish to use the Merchant as a payments bureau, to utilise the Services or any part thereof.

3.9 The Services shall not include training of personnel utilised by the Merchant.

4. MERCHANT'S OBLIGATIONS

4.1 The Merchant shall:

(a) co-operate fully with SalePay in all matters relating to the Services;

(b) provide to SalePay, in a timely manner, such Merchant Information and other information as SalePay may reasonably require to ensure the safe and compliant provision of the service;

(c) if applicable, be responsible (at its own cost) for providing the telecommunications services and correctly configured Merchant Equipment that is needed to connect to the Services;

(d) provide details of a systems administrator who, on behalf of the Merchant, will be familiar with the Services and available to be contacted by SalePay to provide details of any change to the contact details of the system administrators;

(e) if applicable, be responsible for configuration and management of access to the Services including configuration of network, firewall, DNS, routers and any personal computers as well as any integration of the Service into a website or call centre application;

(f) allow SalePay to incorporate the Merchant Information into the SalePay databases solely for the purpose of providing SalePay Services, including PCI compliant fraud screening services;

(g) where material compliance issues in the Merchant's processes are identified, the Merchant shall implement the recommendations given by SalePay or their own appointed PCI QSA in relation to the Services;

Security

(h) be responsible for the security and proper use of all user identities ("User IDs") and passwords in connection with the Services (including changing passwords on a regular basis) and agrees to ensure that User IDs are kept confidential, secure, used properly and not disclosed to any unauthorised person and to inform SalePay immediately if there has been (or is likely to be) a breach of security or misuse of the Service;

(j) promptly inform SalePay if any of the information supplied on or in relation to the online registration changes;

(k) not store card details on their systems whether in plain text or encrypted form. Where a Merchant, with the agreement of its acquiring bank, needs to store card details on its systems whether in plain text or encrypted form, the Merchant agrees to notify SalePay in order to be assessed for their adherence to PCI:DSS. In such a case, the Merchant will be authorised by SalePay to maintain a store of card numbers only if those aspects of the Merchant's systems have a current PCI:DSS class 1 approval, in which case the annual certificate from the Merchant's QSA must be provided to SalePay without delay;

Use of the Service

(l) only access the Services as permitted by the Contract and shall not make any attempt to circumvent the system security of the Services or those of SalePay at any time;

Regulations

(m) comply with all legislation, instructions or guidelines issued by any regulatory authority, relevant licensees and any other codes of practice that apply to the Merchant and that relate to the provision of the Merchant Information or in any way in relation to the Services (including without limitation any PCI Standards of which SalePay inform the Merchant from time to time);

(n) immediately notify and appropriately indemnify SalePay if it becomes aware of any unauthorised use of all or any part of the Services.

5. CHARGES AND PAYMENT

5.1 In consideration of the provision of the Services by SalePay, the Merchant shall pay the Charges in accordance with the following conditions:

(a) SalePay will invoice the Merchant calendar monthly using the same date in the month as their internet signup date for the SalePay Service in respect of the monthly Fixed Charge and Throughput Charges.

(b) The Merchant agrees for all Charges payable pursuant to the Contract to be paid to SalePay by credit or debit card; or by direct bank transfer as determined by SalePay and the Merchant shall provide SalePay with a signed Mandate to affect such payment. The Charges shall be paid on receipt of the SalePay invoice and payment shall be made without any set-off, withholding or counterclaim. During account setup, the initial credit or debit card used will become subject to the automated recurring credit or debit card transaction process. This credit or debit card will be used to automatically pay for invoices raised by SalePay. By contacting SalePay, a credit or debit card can be updated at any time and the Merchant can opt out of recurring credit or debit card transactions if required.

(c) The Charges shall be invoiced and paid in pounds’ sterling. SalePay will (where applicable) add value added tax (or any other applicable tax or charge in any country where the Services are provided) to the SalePay invoices.

5.5 SalePay reserves the right at any time to require that the Merchant pay all or any part of the Charges in advance of provision of all or any part of the Services or a deposit in advance or to provide a guarantee as security for payment of future invoices in respect of the Services to be provided if the Merchant gives legitimate cause for concern by defaulting on or being late in paying due SalePay invoices.

5.6 The Charges do not include any call charges or service charges incurred by the Merchant in accessing the Services via the internet or via a Third-Party internet service provider. The Merchant agrees to pay these charges directly to the relevant service provider.

5.7 SalePay may, at the end of each calendar year dating from the Merchant's internet signup date for the SalePay Service, restructure the Contract and revise the Charges (or any part thereof) in line with inflationary increases or changes to compliance requirements from licensing or authorising bodies.

5.8 Without prejudice to any other right or remedy that it may have, if the Merchant fails to pay SalePay on the due date in accordance with the Contract, SalePay may:

(a) charge interest on such sum from the due date for payment at the annual rate of 4% above the base lending rate from time to time of Lloyds TSB Bank Limited, accruing on a daily basis and being compounded quarterly until payment is made, whether before or after any judgment and the Merchant shall pay the interest immediately on demand. SalePay may claim interest under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998; and

(b) suspend the provision of all or any Services until payment has been made in full in cleared funds.

5.9 Time for payment shall be of the essence of the Contract.

5.10 All sums payable to SalePay under the Contract shall become due immediately on its termination for any reason whatsoever, notwithstanding any other provision. This condition 5.10 is without prejudice to any right to claim for interest under the law, or any such right under the Contract.

5.11 SalePay may, without prejudice to any other rights it may have, set off any liability of the Merchant to SalePay against any liability of SalePay to the Merchant.

6. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

6.1 As between the Merchant and SalePay, all Intellectual Property Rights in SalePay shall be owned by SalePay. Subject to condition 6.2, SalePay licenses all such rights to the Merchant free of charge and on a non-exclusive, worldwide basis to such extent as is necessary for the sole purpose of enabling the Merchant to make reasonable use of the Services. If this Contract expires or terminates, this licence shall automatically terminate simultaneously at the time of such termination.

6.2 SalePay will indemnify the Merchant if any Third Party makes or threatens to make a claim against the Merchant based on allegations that the Merchant's use of the Services infringes that Third Party's intellectual property rights, provided that the Merchant:

(a) notifies SalePay promptly in writing of any allegation of infringement;

(b) makes no admission relating to the infringement;

(c) allows SalePay to conduct all negotiations and proceedings and gives SalePay all reasonable assistance in doing so (SalePay will pay the Merchant's reasonable expenses for such assistance); and

(d) allow SalePay to modify the Services or any item provided as part of the Services, so as to avoid the infringement, provided that such modification does not materially affect the performance of the Services; provided, however, that, in the event that the scope of the Services is materially impacted as a result of such modification, the Merchant shall be entitled to terminate for cause immediately upon notice to SalePay.

6.3 The indemnity in condition 6.2 does not apply to infringements caused by the use of the Services in conjunction with any other software or services that SalePay has not supplied or to infringements caused by designs or specifications made by the Merchant or by any other Third Party.

6.4 The Merchant understands and accepts that SalePay will have no direct control over the way that the Merchant may use the Services and consequently any misuse of the Services by the Merchant may have serious implications for SalePay in respect of its reputation and relationships with Third Party suppliers and business partners. The Merchant therefore agrees to indemnify SalePay fully, on demand, from and against any claims or legal proceedings that are brought or threatened against SalePay by a Third Party where:

(a) the act and/or omissions of the Merchant have resulted in the Services' not being used in accordance with this Contract; or

(b) use of the Services in conjunction with other software and special services not supplied by SalePay by the Merchant has caused a Third Party's IPR to be infringed.

7. NON-DISCLOSURE, CONFIDENTIALITY AND SALEPAY'S PROPERTY

7.1 The Merchant and SalePay both agree that all commercial arrangements including all Charges, Special Conditions and Services within this agreement will not be disclosed to any third party and remain strictly confidential.

7.2 Both the Merchant and SalePay shall keep in strict confidence all technical or commercial know-how, specifications, inventions, processes or initiatives that are of a confidential nature and have been disclosed to its employees, agents, consultants or subcontractors and any other confidential information concerning each Party's business or its products.

7.3 Either Party may disclose such information:

(a) to its employees, officers, representatives, advisers, agents or subcontractors who need to know such information for the purposes of carrying out its obligations under the Contract; and

(b) as may be required by law, court order or any governmental or regulatory authority.

7.4 Each Party shall ensure that its employees, officers, representatives, advisers, agents or subcontractors to whom it discloses such information comply with this condition 7.

7.5 Each Party shall not use any such information for any purpose other than for the purposes of the Contract.

7.6 All materials, equipment and tools, drawings, specifications and data supplied by either Party shall, at all times, be and remain the exclusive property of the originating Party (or any relevant Third Party), but shall be held by the other Party in safe custody at its own risk and maintained and kept in good condition by the receiving Party until returned to the disclosing Party and shall not be disposed of or used other than in accordance with written instructions or authorisation of the other Party.

7.7 The Merchant agrees that once the Contract has been entered into, SalePay may issue a press release (or any other form of public communication) relating to the entry into the Contract. The Customer will have the opportunity to approve such a release and such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

8.1 In the event that the Services are available for less than 99.5% of the time within a given calendar month (with the SalePay system log measurements being the conclusive record of this availability), then the Merchant's sole remedy in this respect shall be a credit by SalePay to the Merchant of an amount equal to the following calendar month's Fixed Charge provided that the Merchant shall notify SalePay in writing of any claim under this condition 8.1 within 60 (sixty) days of the incident of the Services' being unavailable for the period being claimed. This will be the sole remedy of the Merchant and any implied Service warranty or other remedy is hereby expressly excluded.

(a) any breach of the Contract;

(b) any use made by the Merchant of the Services, or any part of them; and

(c) any representation, statement or tortious act or omission (including negligence) arising under or in connection with the Contract.

8.5 The indemnities provided under this Agreement are subject to the following provisions:

(a) the Indemnified Party makes no statement prejudicial to the Indemnifier;

(b) such a claim is not caused by or contributed to by acts of the Indemnified Party;

9.5 Any obligation on SalePay or the Merchant under this condition 9 to do, or refrain from doing, any act or thing shall include an obligation on SalePay or the Merchant respectively to ensure that its employees, agents and sub-contractors (if any) also do, or refrain from doing, such act or thing.

SalePay recognise that a breach of the DPA would severely impact the reputation and shareholder value of the Merchant and therefore agrees that it will on demand fully and effectively indemnify the Merchant and keep the Merchant fully indemnified against any loss, liability and costs incurred as a result of any breach of the DPA by SalePay.

14. WAIVER

14.1 A waiver of any right under the Contract is only effective if it is in writing and it applies only to the circumstances for which it is given. No failure or delay by a Party in exercising any right or remedy under the Contract or by law shall constitute a waiver of that (or any other) right or remedy, nor preclude or restrict its further exercise.

15.2 If a provision of the Contract (or part of any provision) is found illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to amend such provision such that, as amended, it is legal, valid and enforceable and, to the greatest extent possible, achieves the Parties' original commercial intention.

16.1 The Contract constitutes the whole agreement between the Parties and supersedes all previous agreements between the Parties relating to its subject matter.

16.2 Subject to condition 16.3, each Party acknowledges that, in entering into the Contract, it has not relied on, and shall have no right or remedy in respect of, any statement, representation, assurance or warranty (whether made negligently or innocently) (other than for breach of contract), other than as expressly provided in the Contract.

16.3 Nothing in this condition 16 shall limit or exclude the liability of either Party for fraud.

18. NO PARTNERSHIP OR AGENCY

Nothing in the Contract is intended to, or shall be deemed to, constitute a partnership or joint venture of any kind between any of the Parties, nor constitute any Party the agent of another Party for any purpose. No Party shall have authority to act as agent for, or to bind, the other Party in any way.

19. RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES

A person who is not a Party to the Contract shall not have any rights under or in connection with it pursuant to the Contract (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 but nothing in the Contract shall affect any right or remedy of a Third Party that exists or is available otherwise than as a result of that Act.

SalePay Safety & Security

As soon as a Customer enters into the application process, all information transferred between the Customer and SalePay is encrypted using SSL encryption. Even if this data were to be intercepted over the Internet, it would be useless due to the encryption. When entering a secure area on the SalePay site, the Internet browser will show a picture of a small padlock, normally appearing at the bottom of the screen or just to the right of the address bar. To check whether the page is secure, simply right click on the page and select 'properties' or 'view frame info' from the list.

Also, a secure web page can be identified from the web site address. Where a standard page will begin with 'http://', a secure web page will begin with 'https://', denoting that the page is using a secure server for the transmission of data. All credit card details entered on the SalePay site are encrypted using SalePay's Software. When a secure connection is established, the downloaded web site sends a digital certificate to the Customer's web browser. When the certificate arrives, it will contain a public key, which functions as a one-way encryption device. The browser then uses this key to scramble any personal data (i.e. Credit Card Information) before sending it over the Internet. Information encrypted with the public key cannot be decrypted without the corresponding private key, held only by SalePay. Therefore, without this exclusively held private key, no personal information can be read.

SalePay Privacy Policy and Information Confidentiality

SalePay is committed to retaining Customer confidentiality and trust. Accordingly, SalePay maintains a strict privacy policy to protect all personal information provided online.

It is SalePay policy that all personal information including, but not limited to, names, postal address(es), e-mail address(es) and telephone number(s), is kept private and confidential. All personal information provided is stored in a secure location, accessible only by designated SalePay staff. It is used only for the purposes for which the information is provided (such as to reply to requests or to handle Customer queries). Also, if indicated on our site that the Customer would like to receive information about other products and services, such as publications or membership, their personal information will be added to the appropriate SalePay mailing lists. If, at any time, a Customer changes their mind and would like to add or remove their name from any of SalePay's mailing lists or correct their personal information, they need simply to send a secure message to SalePay via the Merchant Management System.

Personal information will not be released to third parties except to further the purpose for which the information is provided. This may include release where required by law or where pertinent to judicial or governmental investigations or proceedings. There are no other circumstances under which we will provide or sell personal information to third parties.

SalePay Disclaimer
