Plain English. 7.1 This Agreement is intended to be written in plain English. When words or expressions of a general nature are employed herein, it is intended that they be comprehensive, unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.
Plain English. We know that terms & conditions can be lengthy and difficult to read, so adjacent to each section of legal terms (the numbered paragraphs, with no background), we’ve set out (in a light grey box) a brief, plain-English summary of the key points for that section of the legal terms. Note that the legal terms will always be the binding terms, and the explanation (in the light grey boxes) is there to help you understand the legal terms, but is non- binding. Any questions, please get in touch via our usual support contact options. About the GoCardless Integration Partner Platform The GoCardless Integration Partner Platform (and this Agreement) allows you to integrate your own system with our API, to enable your customers (referred to as ‘Merchants’) to create and manage payments via direct debit from within your system. You can also report back information to them about the status of their mandates and payments, and build tools to do awesome things like automatically reconcile GoCardless payments with invoices, or pull out analytics on payment performance. To enable this functionality, your customers give you certain permissions to control their GoCardless Accounts. GoCardless will still contract directly with your customers by entering into a separate agreement with them, which means you don't need to worry about holding funds or being regulated, as we'll pay funds directly to your customers, and collect fees from them too. We'll also manage the verification process – as an authorised payments institution, we are obliged to carry out 'know your customer' checks and anti- money laundering checks - but once the initial checks are performed and monitoring set up, your customers can effectively use the GoCardless service entirely from within your software, enabling you to connect their payments with existing systems and workflows. To create a Pre-built Integration, check out our 'Getting Started' guide here. As an Integration Partner, you may be able to earn revenue share of 10% in relation to payments that are initiated by your Pre-built Integration. Read on to find out more. It’s important to note that the relationship between us is also totally separate from the relationship you have with your cus tomers to provide goods or services – we’re not involved in the actual supply of any goods and services to your customers and any disputes about that should be resolved directly between you and that customer. We have no involvement in or liability for the contractual ...

Plain English. This Model Agreement seeks to use ordinary English prose, liberating the reader from the legalese that makes so many inter- creditor and other agreements incomprehensible. To do that, the author has tried to follow the principles he has expressed in several articles on legal writing,27 which can be boiled down as follows. Keep sentences short. Use the active voice and ordinary language. Eliminate section cross-references. Establish and consistently use an intuitive set of defined terms.
