| B. | Whereas Company is engaged in payment acceptance; and |
| C. | The Service Documentation described below contains the terms under which MyECheck has agreed to provide Services to the Company. |
NOW THEREFORE, MYECHECK AND COMPANY AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. Service Documentation. The “Service Documentation” includes;
| (a) | This Agreement and all exhibits, addendums and attachments; |
| (b) | User guides which include software and software licenses if applicable, price schedules, specifications, instructions, and notices; |
| (c) | The application form(s) for each Service. |
The Service Documentation also applies to any Service that is provided by an affiliate of MyECheck and any Service that is used by an affiliate or a subsidiary of Company. “MyECheck” includes each such affiliate, and “Company” includes each such affiliate and subsidiary. All terms defined in this Agreement shall have the same meaning when used in the Service Documentation. If there is a conflict among the documents that make up the Service Documentation, the documents will govern in the order set forth above. Remaining Service Documents will be delivered, via e-mail, after receipts of this signed agreement.
2. Changes to Services. MyECheck may change (or add to) the terms and fees in the Service Documentation at any time upon 30 days prior written notification. If Company discontinues using the affected Service before the change becomes effective, it will not be bound by the change. If Company continues to use a Service after the change becomes effective, it will be bound by the change.
3. Term and Termination. Unless terminated sooner in accordance with the Service Documentation, this Agreement and all Services will continue in effect until terminated by either party upon 30 days prior written notice to the other party (unless a Service is terminated sooner in accordance with the Service Documentation). MyECheck may terminate any Service following notice to Company of a breach of any provision of the Service Documentation. MyECheck may also terminate any Service without notice to Company if Company is subject to a petition under applicable state or federal bankruptcy law, becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to make its debts when due, or if MyECheck otherwise determines, in its sole discretion, that a material adverse change has occurred in Company’s ability to perform its obligations under the Service Documentation. The termination of a Service will not affect Companys or MyECheck’s rights with respect to transactions which occurred before termination. MyECheck shall not be liable to Company for any losses or damages Company may incur as a result of any termination of any Service.
4. Service Fees. Company shall pay MyECheck the fees described in Exhibit A of this document. You hereby authorize MyECheck to create remotely created checks drawn from Company’s checking account(s), and use the checks to collect all fees and charges, or it may send an invoice to Company for such amounts, which Company shall promptly pay. MyECheck may assess finance charges at a rate of 1.5% per month (18% per annum) or the highest rate permitted by law, whichever is less, on any invoiced fees that are not paid within thirty (30) days of the due date and shall apply payments and other reductions of amounts owed first to unpaid interest and then to other fees and charges.
5. Confidential Information. Unless otherwise provided in the Service Documentation, all user guides and other written materials, source code, object code, trademarks and other intellectual property included in the Service Documentation provided pursuant to this Agreement constitute MyECheck’s or its vendors’ confidential information (“Confidential Information”). MyECheck or its vendors, as applicable, will remain the sole owner of all such Confidential Information, and Company will not acquire any interest in or rights to it as a result of Company’s use of any Service except as set forth in the Service Documentation. Company will maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information and will not use for any purpose (other than as specifically contemplated by this Agreement) or disclose (or permit its employees or agents to disclose), copy, transfer, sublicense or otherwise make any of it available to any person or entity, other than its employees who have a need to use the Confidential Information in connection with the applicable Service. Company shall notify MyECheck immediately if it knows or suspects that there has been any unauthorized disclosure, possession, use or knowledge (each, an “Unauthorized Use”) of any Confidential Information, and if it is responsible for the Unauthorized Use, it will, at its expense, promptly take all actions, including without limitation initiating court proceedings to recover possession or prevent further Unauthorized Use of the Confidential Information and obtain redress for any injury caused to MyECheck as a result of such Unauthorized Use. In addition, except as permitted by applicable law, Company may not decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, modify, or create derivative works of any software provided pursuant to this Agreement.
6. Third Party Networks; Use of Required Software. If MyECheck determines that any funds transfer or communications network, Internet service provider, or other system(s) it has selected to provide a Service is unavailable, inaccessible or otherwise unsuitable for use by MyECheck or Company, MyECheck may, upon notice to Company, suspend or discontinue the affected Service. Company shall use and maintain in good working order (and at its own expense) software, hardware and other equipment necessary for Company to use the Service(s) in accordance with the Service Documentation.

9. General.
(a) The Service Documentation will be governed by the laws of the state of California, without regard to conflicts of laws principles.
