1.4. Outsourced Services. iMerchant Direct also provides certain Services, such as for payroll, through third parties.
1.5. Hardware. Client may purchase or rent devices, equipment, hardware, or other materials (collectively, “Hardware”) provided by iMerchant Direct for use with certain Services, as described in the applicable Service Descriptions. If such Hardware is rented from iMerchant Direct, Client understands that iMerchant Direct will continue to be the owner of such Hardware, and that Client has the obligation to return the Hardware to iMerchant Direct within 15 days of the termination of this Contract. Client will not remove, alter, efface, cover, or otherwise modify any markings, stickers, or other indicia applied to any Hardware loaned or rented by iMerchant Direct. Client will use such Hardware exclusively in conjunction with the applicable Service(s) and for no other purpose. Client will use such Hardware in accordance with normal usage, and will not alter, or seek to alter, any such Hardware. Client will be responsible for the security of such Hardware and for maintaining such Hardware in good and operable condition, subject to ordinary wear and tear.
2. Merchant Application. In order to access iMerchant Direct’s Services, Client shall execute and return to iMerchant Direct a merchant processing application or other merchant application and agreement provided by iMerchant Direct (hereinafter, each, a “Merchant Application”), which lists the particular Services Client desires to use and certain payment terms. The Merchant Application also incorporates the Terms and Conditions of iMerchant Direct’s payment processor, which are available under the Payments tab at www.iMerchant Direct.com/privacy. The terms of the Merchant Application agreed to by Client are incorporated into these Standard Terms. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of a Merchant Application and these Standard Terms, these Standard Terms shall apply unless the Merchant Application specifically states that they are being amended or superseded.
3. Payments. Upon acceptance of the Merchant Application by iMerchant Direct and/or its bank, iMerchant Direct will be authorized to charge Client’s credit card or debit Client’s bank account for all “Fees” (as described in this Section 3) payable under this Contract. The Fees for each Service are described in the applicable Service Description, a Merchant Application, or as otherwise agreed to by the parties (collectively, the “Payment Terms”). The following terms apply to all Services, and are in addition to the terms included in the applicable Merchant Application.
3.1. Subscriptions.

3.2. Activity Fees. Activity Fees for any transactions (e.g., SMS text messaging or other processing fees) will be payable in arrears via the payment method authorized by Client.
3.3. Hardware Fees. If applicable, purchase or rental Fees for Hardware provided by iMerchant Direct will be payable as set forth in the applicable Service Descriptions, Merchant Application, or as otherwise agreed to by the parties.

In the event of an inconsistency between the replacement fee and the terms in the Merchant Application or those in other portions of the Service Descriptions, the terms of the Merchant Application will control. The replacement fee will be debited to Client according to the payment method authorized by Client. Upon receipt of such payment, title to such Hardware will vest in Client. Clients using iMerchant Direct Restaurant POS that terminate this Contract within one year of its Effective Date may be charged the difference between the list price for the Hardware purchased from SpoOn and the discounted price paid by the Client, and that price adjustment may be debited to Client according to the payment method authorized by Client.
3.4. Fee Changes. iMerchant Direct may change any Fees that it charges for any Services or Hardware provided by iMerchant Direct by giving Client notice of such change (the “Fee Change”) at least 30 days before the change becomes effective. If Client does not agree to any such Fee Change, Client may terminate this Contract (and Client’s use of the Services) by notifying iMerchant Direct of termination prior to the effective date of the Fee Change. This Contract and Client’s use of the Services shall thereupon be terminated as of the effective date of the Fee Change. Client’s failure to terminate this Contract prior to the effective date of the Fee Change shall constitute Client’s acceptance of the Fee Change.
3.5. Notices of Charges. The amount to be debited to Client’s account or charged to Client’s credit card for the Services shall be adjusted pursuant to any Fee Change accepted (or deemed accepted) by Client, starting on the effective date of the Fee Change. Client may view its amounts payable and past charges by iMerchant Direct on the Dashboard.
3.6. Obligation of Client for Fees. Client agrees not to terminate its authorization for debits to Client’s account or charges to Client’s credit card until all Fees and charges payable under this Contract have been paid in full.

3.7. Debit Authorization. By providing its credit card or checking account information to iMerchant Direct, Client agrees that iMerchant Direct is authorized to charge Client’s credit card or checking account for all Fees payable under this Contract.

In connection with the foregoing release, Client hereby waives California Civil Code Section 1542, and any similar provision in any other jurisdiction.

THE SERVICES, THIRD PARTY SERVICES, THIRD PARTY TECHNOLOGY, AND THIRD PARTY DEVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITH ALL FAULTS. THE FOREGOING DISCLAIMER INCLUDES (i) A DISCLAIMER OF ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR COVENANT THAT THE SERVICES, iMerchant Direct TECHNOLGY, THIRD PARTY SERVICES, THIRD PARTY TECHNOLOGY, AND/OR THIRD PARTY DEVICES, WHETHER MADE AVAILABLE OR RECOMMENDED BY iMerchant Direct WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, RELIABLE, SECURE OR ERROR FREE; (ii) A DISCLAIMER THAT THE SERVICES, iMerchant Direct TECHNOLOGY, ANY THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS, THIRD PARTY SERVICES, THIRD PARTY TECHNOLOGY, OR THIRD PARTY DEVICES ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR HARMFUL COMPONENTS; AND (iii) A DISCLAIMER THAT THE SERVICES, ANY iMerchant Direct TECHNOLOGY, ANY THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS, THIRD PARTY TECHNOLOGY, THIRD PARTY SERVICES, OR THIRD PARTY DEVICES WILL MEET CLIENT’S EXPECTATIONS. iMerchant Direct MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING WHETHER OR NOT THE SERVICES CONSTITUTE AN AUTOMATIC TELEPHONE DIALING SYSTEM, AS SUCH TERM IS USED IN THE TCPA. iMerchant Direct is not responsible for the provision and functioning of any connectivity, software, systems and/or other infrastructure necessary to work with the Services, the iMerchant Direct Technology, any iMerchant Direct Dashboard, any other technology and/or the Hardware provided by iMerchant Direct.
7.4. Limitation of Liability. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL iMerchant Direct OR ANY ASSOCIATED PERSON (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 7.1) BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH CLIENT’S USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SERVICES, THE iMerchant Direct TECHNOLOGY, THIRD PARTY SERVICES, THIRD PARTY TECHNOLOGY, OR THIRD PARTY DEVICES, FROM iMerchant Direct’S SUSPENSION OF OR TERMINATION OF THE SERVICES, OR FROM CLIENT’S PARTICIPATION IN THE SERVICES, INCLUDING ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, USE, DATA, OR OTHER INTANGIBLES), EVEN IF iMerchant Direct OR ANY ASSOCIATED PERSON HAS BEEN ADVISED OF OR IS AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of incidental, consequential or other types of damages, so some of the foregoing limitations may not apply to Client. Without limiting the terms of Section 7.3 and this Section 7.4 in any way, and except as otherwise specified in any applicable Service Descriptions, iMerchant Direct’s liability for damages shall be limited to the return of the monthly subscription fees paid by Client for the month(s) in which the events giving rise to such damages occurred.

Client hereby agrees to defend and indemnify iMerchant Direct and its Associated Persons, and to hold them harmless from and against, any and all losses, damages, costs, or expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of any claim resulting from (i) the operation of Client’s business (including goods and services sold or provided by Client), (ii) any violation of any applicable federal or state statute, rule or regulation governing the protection of consumers, including CAN-SPAM, the TCPA, and any rules or regulations promulgated under these or other applicable statutes, (iii) any website or mobile app owned or operated by Client, (iv) any communications from Client, including Notes, and (v) any actual or alleged breach of or failure to comply with any of Client’s obligations, representations, warranties, or covenants (a) set forth in this Contract, including those in Section 6, or (b) with respect to particular Services, set forth in the Service Descriptions applicable to such Services.
