If a named affiliate of SPay, Inc. is specified in the Pricing Agreement (“Named Affiliate”), then this Agreement will be deemed to be made between Customer and such Named Affiliate, and not SPay, Inc.

1.2 Scope. Subject to Customer’s compliance with all terms and conditions of this Agreement and any additional terms set forth in the Pricing Agreement, (including the prompt payment by Customer of all fees and charges), Stack Sports hereby grants to Customer, for the Term, a limited, personal, non-exclusive, nontransferable license to access and use the Stack Sports System.

1.5. Permitted Stack Sports System Uses. Stack Sports supports the maintenance of the software product and -support services to clients primarily through registration fees and other service fees collected from the use of the Stack Sports System. Stack Sports does not provide web site only services, unless by special agreement with the Organization or its parent Organization, e.g. its association or governing body. Accordingly, subject to the terms hereof, Customer agrees to use registration services during the normal course of business when using the Stack Sports System as Customer’s primary method of processing registrations.

1.6 Organizational Decisions. Stack Sports is not responsible for an Organization’s administration (e.g., coaching decisions, team selections, Organization refund policies, Organization terms, etc.). An Organization’s use of the Services does not imply Stack Sports’ approval or endorsement of such Organization. All questions and issues with Organization administration and policies should be directed to the Organization. Customer is solely responsible for ensuring that Customer and its Users secure their User Identity and do not share their User Identity with others. Stack Sports will assume that any person using the Service under a given User Identity is the individual associated with such User Identity in Stack Sports’ records and will grant access to data, records and other information and capabilities accordingly. Using, or permitting the use of, the Service under a User Identity not actually assigned to a particular individual is prohibited. Customer agrees that the Service will be used solely for the purposes and functions contemplated in this Agreement and the Stack Sports Policies. Customer represents, warrants and covenants to Stack Sports that (A) if Customer is using the Services on behalf of an Organization that Customer is an authorized representative of such Organization, (B) all materials provided by Customer to Stack Sports or uploaded, stored, processed, contained included and/or integrated in the Service, including without limitation data and/or information forms, User Data (as defined below), and other data input by or on behalf of Customer to the Service: (i) is accurate, (ii) has been obtained with Customer’s consent; (iii) does not infringe on the intellectual property rights of any third party or any rights of publicity or privacy and Customer own or have the rights necessary for the use, processing, modification by Stack Sports as contemplated herein; (iv) is not offensive or obscene or in violation of any law, rule, statute, ordinance, or regulation; (v) does not violate any right of privacy or publicity; (vi) does not contain unlawful, discriminatory, libelous, harmful, obscene or otherwise objectionable material of any kind; (vii) does not encourage conduct that could constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability or otherwise violate any applicable law or regulation; and (viii) does not transmit or upload to the Service any virus, worm, defect, trojan horse, software bomb or other harmful or malicious code or feature that does or could interfere with, damage or degrade in any manner the performance or security of a Service or adversely affect another user of the Service, and (C) Customer are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country, nor are Customer listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. Customer’s use of the Services shall be subject to the “Restrictions on Use of the Websites” found in the Terms of Service.

1.7 Communications Costs of Customer. Customer is solely responsible for all of Customer’s internet, communication, device and other equipment, and any other costs associated with Customer’s use of the Service. Use of the Service may impact Customer’s cellular data usage or other data plan.

2. Payment Processing and Other Fees

2.1 License and Services Fees. In consideration for its license to access and use the Stack Sports System, Customer agrees to pay certain fees related to Customer’s use of or access to the Services, including but not limited to registration processing fees, charge amounts, annual fees, one-time fixed fees, ongoing and credit card processing fees, and/or other applicable fees at the rates in effect when such fees are incurred (collectively, “Fees”). The rates for these Fees are outlined in the Pricing Agreement. Customer is responsible for paying all applicable taxes for the Services. Customer further acknowledges and agrees that Customer may be required to pay Fees related to Customer’s use of or access to the Services subject to any Additional Terms applicable to such services, features or purchases. Customer acknowledge that Stack Sports owns all right and interest in any collected Fees regardless of the actual costs incurred by Stack Sports for providing the Services.
2.2 Payment Processing. It is the intent of both Stack Sports and Customer that a material element of this Agreement is to include/use the credit & debit card processing services (“Processing Services”) of Stack Sports as part of, or in combination with, the Stack Sports System. Therefore, Stack Sports and Customer specifically agree that all Processing Services associated with Customer, including but not limited to, all related processing from websites, mobile apps, related club, league, team payments (even if white labeled sites or apps through the Customer) and any P2P payments, will be handled by Stack Sports. Stack Sports is not a merchant bank. In assisting users in collecting payments, Stack Sports is acting solely as a payment processor.

2.3 Transactions Initiated by Individuals. If Customer makes a registration or other payment to an Organization via the Service, Customer agrees that such transaction is between Customer and that Organization, notwithstanding Stack Sports rights to impose Fees on such transactions; therefore, any refund requests, including without limitation unauthorized or incorrect charges, must be made directly to the Organization. Any Fees charged by Stack Sports for the Services are non-refundable. Customer agree to contact Stack Sports in the event of a dispute before initiating a chargeback or return with Customer’s bank. In the event Customer make any chargeback claim, Stack Sports may contact Customer and the Organization with regard to the claim.

2.4 Organization. All payments will be processed via the Services and will be held by Stack Sports (unless Customer has set up Customer’s own third-party merchant). Stack Sports will transfer registration fees collected by Stack Sports (net of charges due to Stack Sports, including all applicable Fees and taxes or other governmental charges) to the designated Organization account through Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) transfer. Stack Sports will automatically debit against Customer’s designated Organization account all applicable Fees, taxes or other governmental charges, and/or any applicable return or chargeback fees incurred by Stack Sports arising from the processing and/or resolution of any return or chargeback claim relating to Customer’s Organization. All Fees debited by Stack Sports are non-refundable. Remittances to Customer in accordance with the foregoing process shall be made not less frequently than weekly. Customer is responsible for presenting or re-presenting to the card issuer any challenge Customer may wish to bring to any return or chargeback claim. Customer agrees at Customer’s own expense to assist Stack Sports when Stack Sports is requested to investigate any transactions processed through the Service that are the subject of a return or chargeback claim; however, Stack Sports shall have no obligation to conduct any such investigation. In the event of a return or chargeback claim, Customer is responsible for collecting any unpaid fees or charges directly from the Individual User initiating the chargeback.

2.5 Invoiced Fees; Chargebacks. If Stack Sports presents you with an invoice for fees incurred for any service rendered by Stack Sports where Stack Sports has separately agreed to invoice you, such invoices shall be immediately due and payable upon receipt. On the date that is 30 days following the invoice date, such fees shall be subject to late fees and interest at a monthly rate of one percent (1%) or such lower amount as may be required by applicable law. Stack Sports may, but is not responsible to, assist in resolving disputes regarding refund requests or return or chargeback claims, or to assist in presenting or re-presenting any challenge to any return or chargeback claim. Customer is responsible for presenting or re-presenting to the card issuer any challenge Customer may wish to bring to any return or chargeback claim. In the event of a return or chargeback claim, Customer is responsible for collecting any unpaid fees or charges directly from the individual initiating the return or chargeback. At Customer’s sole discretion, Customer may elect to refund the Individuals User charge amounts, processing and other fees through the Service, which will be debited against a subsequent Customer ACH transfer. Stack Sports may charge an administrative fee with regard to any chargeback claim, regardless of the resolution outcome.

2.6 Subscription Services. From time to time, Stack Sports may offer the opportunity to access subscription-based Services. For such subscription-based services, you shall elect to pay recurring subscription Fees by means of automatic ACH deductions from your account on file or by means of recurring credit card transactions or such other means as Stack Sports may offer at inception of the subscription-based services. In addition, Fees may also be charged through third party payment systems, app-stores utilized by Stack Sports, or otherwise through the Services. All Fees paid for the Services are non-refundable, regardless of whether or not Customer actually uses the Services. Customer is responsible for paying all applicable taxes for the Services and any other costs incurred in connection with the use of or access to the Services. If Customer registers for a recurring subscription, Customer will continue to be charged for the Services until Customer cancels the Services. Customer may cancel a recurring subscription at any time by emailing support@stacksports.com. Include the name and email address associated with Customer’s account. Some cancellations may require Customer to contact the third-party app-store where Customer registered for the recurring subscription. Cancellation of Customer’s subscription will not release Customer from Customer’s responsibility to pay all charges incurred prior to cancellation. Stack Sports reserves the right to issue refunds or credits in its sole discretion. If Stack Sports issues a refund or credit, it is under no obligation to issue the same or similar refund in the future. All questions and requests related to the Services shall be submitted to info@stacksports.com

2.7 Processing Partners. Based on the stated processing needs of the Customer, the Stack Sports products chosen by the Customer and listed in the Pricing Agreement, the geographical location and currency the Customer accepts, Stack Sports will place the Customer with one of the approved processing partners of Stack Sports (“Processing Partners”). Once a Processing Partner is chosen, Customer hereby agrees to provide the necessary information required by that Processing Partner to set-up the merchant account.

2.8 Modifications; Custom Development. Stack Sports retains the right, in its sole discretion, to enhance, modify or alter the Service at any time (“Stack Sports’ Modifications”). It shall be in Stack Sports’ sole discretion to determine which Stack Sports’ Modifications Customer receives.

If Customer wants to add additional features beyond the features included in the Stack Sports System or have Stack Sports provide specific design, development or implementation services, Customer agrees to pay costs and fees for such features and services when charged by Stack Sports. Stack Sports will present Customer a separate statement of work confirming the details of the work, the estimated timeline to implement and the cost associated with the project (“SOW”). Stack Sports will proceed once both Stack Sports and Customer agree to and execute the SOW. Once the SOW is acknowledged, it will be deemed to be an amendment to this Agreement.

3. Data.

3.1. Ownership of Data. As between the parties, Customer shall own all data and content that is placed by Customer and Customer’s members and/or users on the Stack Sports System (including any website text, images or other content created by or for Customer through the Stack Sports System). This information (to the extent stored in the Stack Sports System by Customer) shall include participant and registration information, membership information, statistics regarding Customer’s site and usage as reported to Customer by Stack Sports, credit card information and other commerce-related information provided by Customer, its members and users (“Data”). Data collected in the Stack Sports System shall be subject to the Stack Sports’ Policies. In addition to any terms or policies that the Customer may have, Customer agrees that Stack Sports may, in its sole discretion, require any users of the Stack Sports System, including Customer’s members and/or users, to expressly agree to the Stack Sports Policies during the member/user signup process or any time thereafter as a condition of accessing the Stack Sports system and receiving the Services. Customer hereby authorizes Stack Sports to use the Data in any manner permitted in the Stack Sports Policies, subject to applicable law, and may contact or communicate with Customer’s members and users, including without limitation, regarding their individual user accounts, their login credentials, updates to the Stack Sports Policies or their access to and use of the Services or other features, services and products relevant to their use of the Stack Sports System.

3.2 Use of Data in Connection with Services. Stack Sports may use data collected or managed by Stack Sports through the Services (e.g., player registration and e-commerce data) (collectively, the “User Data”), to notify you of information relevant to the products and services of Stack Sports and its trusted partners, for other advertising and marketing purposes and for such other purposes as may be permitted by law and the Stack Sports Policies (collectively, the “Data Usage Rights”). If User Data collected or managed through the Services is provided on behalf of a third party, Customer represents, warrants and covenants that Customer has notified such third parties of this Agreement and obtained all required consents. In addition, Customer grants Stack Sports a limited, fully-paid, royalty free, worldwide, non-exclusive, irrevocable, right and license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, enhance, improve, create derivative works of, edit, translate, distribute, and otherwise display the User Data: (i) for Customer’s benefit; (ii) for the purpose of performing the Services; and (iii) as permitted hereunder. Stack Sports disclaims all warranties as to the availability of the User Data. Stack Sports shall have no liability or responsibility in the event that the User Data is deleted or removed from the Services. Customer represents and warrants that all User Data that is provided by Customer or on Customer’s behalf, or uploaded, stored, processed, contained included and/or integrated into the Services by Customer or on Customer’s behalf has been collected in accordance with applicable laws and with Customer’s full consent. Customer hereby consents to Stack Sports’ use of the User Data as provided herein. If any of the User Data uploaded, stored, processed, contained included and/or integrated in the Services relates to children under the age of 13 (“Child Users”), Customer represents and warrants that prior to Customer providing such User Data to Stack Sports, Customer, as the parent or guardian of such Child User, consent to: (i) send or store such Child User’s User Data in the Services, and (ii) to permit Stack Sports to exercise its rights hereunder and under the Agreements with respect to such Child User. If Customer is not the parent or guardian of such Child User, Customer represents and warrants that Customer has obtained verifiable consent of the parent or guardian of such Child User to use the Child User’s User Data as provided herein. Customer shall provide copies of such consents to Stack Sports upon request. In the event any such Child User (or the parent or guardian thereof) elects to withdraw such consent, Customer shall promptly notify Stack Sports and Stack Sports shall remove the Child User’s User Data from the Services. If such express consent is not provided Customer shall not send or store such Child Users’ User Data in the Services; and if Customer previously sent or stored Child Users’ User Data without such express consent, Customer shall immediately notify Stack Sports and immediately remove any applicable User Data from the Services until Customer obtains such required express consent.

4.2 Termination. For Services of Stack Sports where the monthly Term is established solely through Customer’s use of the Service, either party may terminate for its convenience at any time. For those products and services of Stack Sports where the term is expressly stated in the Pricing Agreement, either party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement prior to the end of the Term upon a material breach of this Agreement by the other party. The non-breaching party shall provide written notice to the breaching party setting forth the basis for such party’s claim of material breach, setting forth in reasonable detail the act(s) or omission(s) or circumstances giving rise to such claim, and stating the desire of the non-breaching party to terminate if the breaching party fails to cure such breach. The breaching party shall have thirty (30) days in which to cure the breach; or commence to cure and present the non-breaching party with an acceptable remediation and cure plan if the breach is curable but cannot be cured within such thirty (30) day time period, If the breach is not cured within thirty (30) days or if the remediation and cure plan presented by the breaching party is rejected by the non-breaching party, then this Agreement shall terminate. Notwithstanding the opportunity to cure provided in the previous sentences, if the material breach is of such a nature that it may not be cured, regardless of the action taken by the breaching party or the passage of time, then the non-breaching party may terminate this Agreement effective immediately upon notice. In addition, Stack may terminate this Agreement upon written notice for Customer’s violation of Section 1 (“Grant of License”) or failure to pay the Fees as set forth in the Pricing Agreement.

4.3 Effect of Termination.

Customer agrees to continue to pay any and all Fees associated with the Stack System that are in place immediately prior to the Transition Period.

4.5 Acceleration of Payments.

Furthermore, immediately upon any termination of this Agreement, Customer shall pay to Stack Sports any and all amounts that are or with the passage of time will become due and payable.

5. Confidential Information.

Customer may not settle any such third-party claim without the prior written consent of Stack Sports.
