Subscription fee
We have various levels of service that are billed on a subscription basis. When you sign up for a subscription-billing based account, you agree to allow us to bill your credit card (or other payment method) for all due charges. Billing occurs on the first billing cycle of the month. We will re-bill for any failed billing or past-due amounts. You will be pro-rated for the initial month in which you start the Service to only include billing for the days remaining in the month from the day of sign-up. For all subsequent months, we will bill you for a full month of subscription fees regardless of whether you cancel within that month.
Money-back guarantee
We offer a money-back guarantee for the first thirty (30) days of your subscription. We will refund all of your monthly subscription charges if you cancel within this time period. You will not receive a refund for items that are not included in the baseline monthly subscription fee (including setup fees, postcards, etc.). To cancel your service and request a refund, please email us at cancel@gotasker.com.
PAYMENT PROCESSING TERMS FOR SERVICE PROVIDERS
Card Not Present
You acknowledge that all payment card transactions are processed as “card not present” transactions, even where the Consumer is at the physical point of sale and a Consumer has different Chargeback rights for “card not present” transactions than for transactions where the buyer physically presents the card to the seller.
Underwriting
We will review some or all of the information that you submit in connection with your request to sign up for the Service. We may forward such information on to our payments processor. After you submit your application, we or our processor may conclude that you will not be permitted to use the Service.
Transaction Limits
We may impose various transaction limits and rules on Service Providers. If you believe that the transaction limits are interfering with your business, please contact our support to request higher limits. We may require more information about your business to evaluate your request and will decide at its sole discretion whether to honor such requests. We will consider a variety of factors in making this decision, including but not limited to a proprietary set of rules, Chargeback rates, transaction behavior, and other supplemental data about your business.
Payment Processing Fees
You agree to pay an activation fee in addition to our subscription fee. By enrolling, you authorize Fracxion Software. LLC to charge you for your initial subscription period and a recurring annual or monthly membership at the then current rate, which may change from time to time. Your subscription will automatically renew and prior to the start of the next subscription period, you will be charged the applicable fee(s) to your provided payment method on a recurring basis until canceled as set forth herein
Access to Your Funds
We will deposit to your bank account the amounts actually received by us for transactions submitted through the Service (less any applicable fees). We reserve the right to revise our payout schedule at any time and in our sole discretion. Once your bank account information has been verified, we will automatically initiate a payout to your designated bank account at the end of every business day except as provided below. Payouts to your bank account will normally register within 2-3 business days subject to your bank’s policies.
Funds for any given transaction will not be deposited until the transaction is deemed complete. Transactions will be deemed complete when we or the designated financial institutions have accepted the transaction or funds. You are responsible for monitoring your transactions and ensuring that our payments to you are correct. You must notify us of any errors in payments made to you within sixty (60) days of the error first appearing on your electronic transaction history. Failure to notify us of such an error will be deemed a waiver of any right to amounts owed to you.
Restrictions on Availability of Funds
Should we need to conduct an investigation or resolve any suspicious activity or a pending dispute related to your account, we may defer payout or restrict access to your funds for the entire time it takes for us to do so. We also may defer payout or restrict access to your funds as required by law or court order, or if otherwise requested by law enforcement or governmental entity.
Reversals
The amount of a transaction may be reversed or charged back to your bank account (a “Chargeback” or “Reversal”) if the transaction (a) is disputed, (b) is reversed for any reason by the applicable card association (“Card Association”), our processor or a payer’s or our financial institution, (c) was not authorized or we have reason to believe that the transaction was not authorized or (d) is allegedly unlawful, suspicious, or in violation of the terms of this Agreement.
There is a non-refundable $25 fee for each Reversal regardless of the outcome of the dispute.
Contesting Reversals
You agree to assist us when requested, at your expense, to investigate any of your transactions processed through the Service. To that end, you permit us to share information about a Reversal with the payer, the payer’s financial institution, and your financial institution in order to investigate and/or mediate a Reversal. We will request necessary information from you to contest the Reversal. If the Reversal is contested successfully, we will release the reserved funds to the Service Provider account. If a Reversal dispute is not resolved in your favor by the Card Association or issuing bank or you choose not to contest the Reversal, we may recover the Reversal amount and any associated fees as described in this Agreement. You acknowledge that your failure to assist us in a timely manner when investigating a transaction, including providing necessary documentation within fifteen (15) days of our request, may result in an irreversible Reversal. We reserve the right, upon notice to you, to charge a fee for mediating and/or investigating Chargeback disputes.
Our Collection Rights for Reversals
For any transaction that results in a Reversal, we may withhold the Reversal amount in a Reserve (defined below). We may deduct the amount of any Reversal and any associated fees, fines, or penalties assessed by the Card Association or our processor from your bank account (including without limitation any Reserve), any proceeds due to you, your bank account, or other payment instrument registered with us. If you have a pending Reversal, we may delay payouts to your bank account. Further, if we reasonably believe that a Reversal is likely with respect to any transaction, we may withhold the amount of the potential Reversal from payments otherwise due to you under this Agreement until such time that (a) a Reversal is assessed due to a Consumer’s complaint, in which case we will retain the funds, (b) the period of time under applicable law or regulation by which the Consumer may dispute that the transaction has expired or (c) we determine that a Reversal on the transaction will not occur. If we are unable to recover funds related to a Reversal for which you are liable, you will pay us the full amount of the Reversal immediately upon demand. You agree to pay all costs and expenses, including without limitation attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses, incurred by or on behalf of us in connection with the collection of all the account deficit balances unpaid by you.
Excessive Reversal
If we determine that you are incurring an excessive amount of Reversal, we may establish controls or conditions governing your account, including without limitation, by (a) establishing new processing fees, (b) creating a Reserve in an amount reasonably determined by us to cover anticipated Reversal and related fees, (c) delaying payouts and (d) terminating or suspending your access to the Service.
Reserve
If we have reasonable suspicion of misuse, we may temporarily suspend or delay payments to you and/or designate an amount of funds that we must maintain in a separate reserve account (a “Reserve”) to secure the performance of your payment obligations under this Agreement. We may require a Reserve for any reason, including if you have a high rate of Chargebacks or refunds, or other indications of performance problems related to your use of the Service. The Reserve will be in an amount as reasonably determined by us to cover anticipated Chargebacks, returns, unshipped merchandise and/or unfulfilled products or services or credit risk based on your processing history or such amount designated by our processor. The Reserve may be raised, reduced or removed at any time by us, in our sole discretion, based on your payment history, a credit review, the amount of any arbitration award or court judgment against you in our favor, or otherwise as we or our processor may determine or require. If you do not have sufficient funds in your Reserve, we may fund the Reserve from any funding source associated with your account, including but not limited to any funds (a) due to you under this Agreement or (b) available in your bank account or other payment instrument registered with us. You grant us a security interest in and lien on any and all funds held in any Reserve, and also authorize us to make any withdrawals or debits from the Reserve, without prior notice to you, to collect amounts that you owe us under this Agreement, including without limitation for any reversals of deposits or transfers made to your bank account.
Taxes
You are responsible for determining any and all taxes assessed, incurred, or required to be collected, paid, or withheld for any reason in connection with your use of our Service (“Taxes”). You also are solely responsible for collecting, withholding, reporting, and remitting correct Taxes to the appropriate tax authority. In addition to complying with any other reporting obligations that we may have, if in a given calendar year you receive (i) more than $20,000 in gross amount of payments and (ii) more than 200 payments, we will report annually to the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), as required by law, your name, business name, address, Tax Identification Number the total dollar amount of the payments you receive in a calendar year, and the total dollar amount of the payments you receive for each month in a calendar year.
Customer Service
You are solely responsible for all customer service issues relating to your services, including pricing, fulfillment, cancellation by you or a Consumer, returns, refunds and adjustments, rebates, functionality and warranty, technical support, and feedback, reviews, or ratings concerning experiences with your personnel, policies or processes. In performing customer service, you must always present yourself as a separate entity from us.
Refunds and Returns
You agree to process returns, and provide refunds and adjustments for, your goods or services through your Pro account in accordance with these terms and Card Association rules. Card Association rules require that you will (a) maintain a fair return, cancellation or adjustment policy, (b) disclose your return or cancellation policy to Consumers at the time of purchase, (c) not give cash refunds to a Consumer in connection with a Card sale, unless required by law and (d) not accept cash or any other item of value for preparing a card sale refund. The amount of the refund/adjustment must include any associated taxes required to be refunded and cannot exceed the amount shown as the total on the original sales data except by the exact amount required to reimburse the Consumer for postage that the Consumer paid to return merchandise. If you accept returns and are making an uneven exchange of merchandise (e.g., the sales price is not the same), you must issue a credit for the total amount of the merchandise being returned and complete a new sale for any new merchandise. Please be aware, if your refund policy prohibits returns or is unsatisfactory to the buyer, you may still receive a Chargeback relating to such sales. You can process a refund through your account up to sixty (60) days from the day you accepted the payment. If the balance in your account is insufficient to cover the refund, we will withdraw up to the requested refund amount from your bank account and credit it back to your Consumer’s card. Transaction fees are also refunded, so the full purchase amount is always returned to your Consumer. We have no obligation to accept any returns of any of your goods or Service on your behalf.
Account History
We provide you an online transaction history of all of your authorized transactions. Except as required by law, you are solely responsible for (a) compiling and retaining permanent records of all transactions and other data associated with your account and your use of the Service and (b) reconciling all transactional information that is associated with your account.
Processing Errors
We will attempt to rectify processing errors that we discover. If the error resulted in your receipt of less than the correct amount to which you were entitled, we will credit your bank account for the difference. If the error results in your receipt of more than the correct amount to which you were entitled, we will debit the extra funds from your bank account. We will only correct transactions that you process incorrectly if and when you notify us of such an error. Your failure to notify us of a processing error within thirty (30) days of when it first appears on your electronic transaction history will be deemed a waiver of any right to amounts owed to you.
SMS NOTIFICATION, CHAT, AND PHONE NUMBER
Default phone number
We will provide a default notification phone number for your business. This phone number will send job related notifications to your Consumers when notifications are turned on. Consumers will not be able to respond to messages sent from this default number.
