EverCommerce Solutions Inc. DBA PaySimple, Inc (“PaySimple”) requires You, including any entity on whose behalf You enter these Terms of Service (each, “You” or “Your”) to agree and adhere to the following terms and conditions of Service (“Terms of Service”) in connection with Your purchase and use of PaySimple’s services and user accounts (such services and user accounts referred to collectively as the “Service”). Certain sections of these Terms of Service apply specifically to certain features offered by PaySimple. Those sections do not apply to You unless You sign up for the specific Service to which they relate. By accessing or otherwise using the Service, You represent and warrant that You have the requisite capacity and authority to enter into these Terms of Service and indicate Your agreement, acknowledgment and acceptance of the Terms of Service and You agree and covenant to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations governing Your use of the Service.

1. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE

The Service may include online invoicing, payment, scheduling, and related software services to assist in the management of Your business. The Service allows You to electronically generate and transmit invoices via email to Your customers (“Invoice Service”). If You have subscribed to that portion of the Service that provides for the collection of payments (the “Payment Service”), Your customers will be allowed to make, and You will be able to receive, electronic payments via various system features enabled by PaySimple (click-to-pay from system generated invoices, web page payment forms, manual entry, etc…) using one of the electronic payment methods enabled by a third party payment processor (for example, without limitation, via credit card or automated clearing house (“ACH”) payments). The payment received by You will be credited to the bank account number that You provide (if You have subscribed to the Payment Service). PaySimple is a software services provider and not a payment processor. Any payment processing in connection with the Payment Service is provided by the applicable third party payment processor. From time to time, PaySimple may develop and incorporate other features into the Service, either in connection with existing features or on a stand-alone basis. Your use of such additional features, if any, is governed by these Terms of Service.

As part of the Service, PaySimple may make available to You additional features that allow You to integrate or use the Service with products and services provided by third-parties (“Add-On Features”). Add-On Features may be provided for a fee or at no charge. You agree that You will pay all applicable fees for the Add-On Features that You sign up for. PaySimple is not responsible for and does not endorse any third party products or services that You use in connection with the Service or an Add-On Feature. You understand that Add-On Features may impact Your use of the third products or services with which they integrate, and PaySimple is not responsible for, and shall have no liability in connection with such impact. All Add-On Features are provided “as-is” and are subject to those warranty disclaimers set forth in Section 12 of these Terms of Service and those limitations of liability set forth in Section 13 of these Terms of Service.
