- Repeat Infringers. It is our policy in appropriate circumstances to disable or terminate the Retailer Accounts of users who repeatedly infringe copyright laws.
- Paid Services and Fees. Lovingly charges a credit card fee for certain Services (the “Credit Card Fee”). If your Primary Service Agreement has authorized Lovingly to charge the Credit Card Fee for a particular Service, then the Credit Card Fee will be charged according to the following terms:
- Credit Card Fee. You hereby authorize Lovingly to charge the Credit Card Fee from the amount due to you for each Customer purchase made with a credit card through the Services (each, a “Transaction”). The Credit Card Fee is equal to the sum of (a) thirty cents ($0.30) and (b) two and nine-tenths of one percent (2.9%) of the total amount of the Transaction. If a full or partial refund of a Transaction is provided by you to a Customer, a pro rata portion of the corresponding Credit Card Fee shall be refunded.
- Refunds. We do not grant refunds at this time, and you will not be eligible for any prorated refunds for amounts already paid unless otherwise indicated in a Primary Service Agreement. If you believe that your credit card or account has been charged in error, please contact us at help@lovingly.com.
- Chargebacks.
- You agree that once you have made any payment to Lovingly pursuant to a Primary Service Agreement, you and your Agents will not seek to cancel, Chargeback (as defined below), or otherwise seek a refund on any basis that is fraudulent, misleading, or untrue. If you contact your bank or credit card company to decline, chargeback or otherwise reverse the charge of any payable fees to us (“Chargeback”), we may automatically terminate your Retailer Account or restrict your access to the Services. If you have questions about a payment made to us, we encourage you to contact our customer service department at help@lovingly.com before filing a Chargeback. We reserve our right to dispute any Chargeback.
- All chargebacks initiated by you or your Customers shall be subject to a Fifteen Dollar ($15.00) fee (the “Chargeback Fee”), regardless of the reason for such chargeback. The amount in dispute (the “Disputed Amount”) together with the Chargeback Fee shall be immediately withdrawn from your account. If a Customer initiates a chargeback, Lovingly will send a notification to the email address provided in your Registration Information. If you dispute the chargeback, you will have the opportunity to submit evidence in your favor. Lovingly will then forward the dispute and any evidence to the Payment Processor, which shall determine whether the chargeback is valid. Our Payment Processor’s determination shall be final. If the dispute is decided in the Customer’s favor, Lovingly shall refund to the Customer the Disputed Amount plus the associated Credit Card Fee, and retain the Chargeback Fee. If the dispute is decided in your favor, you shall be refunded the Chargeback Fee and the Disputed Amount, and Lovingly shall retain the associated Credit Card Fee.
- Additional Purchases. You may also purchase additional goods and services via the Services, including but not limited to Lovingly SuperTicket paper (“Additional Purchases”). Payment for any Additional Purchases shall be made upon ordering them. You understand that such Additional Purchases are subject to the applicable terms of this Section.
- Fee Changes. We may change our fees at any time. We will provide you with advance notice of these fee changes via the Services. New fees will not apply retroactively. If you do not agree with any fee changes, you have the right to reject the change by canceling the applicable Paid Service before your next payment date.
- Payment Processor. You understand and acknowledge that any credit card, debit card, bank, or other payment information supplied by you, your Agent, or a Customer to pay for any Transaction will be transmitted directly to a third party payment processor of our choice (our “Payment Processor”). We do not collect or store payment information. Our current Payment Processors are Stripe, which processes your payments in accordance with its terms of service http://stripe.com/us/legal and privacy policy https://stripe.com/us/privacy, or Adyen, which processes your payments in accordance with its terms of service https://www.adyen.com/legal/terms-and-conditions-adyen-for-platforms and privacy policy https://www.adyen.com/policies-and-disclaimer/privacy-policy, all of which you agree to be bound. You agree to pay us, through the assigned Payment Processor, all charges at the prices then in effect for any purchase in accordance with the applicable payment terms. You agree to make payment using the payment method you provided in your Registration Information. We reserve the right to correct, or to instruct our Payment Processor to correct, any errors or mistakes, even if payment has already been requested or received.
- Taxes. Fees are stated exclusive of any taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including, for example, value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any jurisdiction (collectively, “Taxes”). You are responsible for paying all Taxes and all other charges incidental to purchasing any of the Services, except for those taxes based on Lovingly’s net income. If any payments for any part of the Services are subject to withholding tax by any government, you agree to reimburse us for such withholding tax. Where Lovingly does not have a legal obligation to pay or collect indirect Taxes on a sale of any of the Services to you, you may be required to self-assess those Taxes under the applicable laws of the country where you are established, have a permanent address or usually reside.
- Payment Information. You agree to provide Lovingly with valid payment information in connection with your purchase of any Services. By providing Lovingly with your payment information, you agree that (i) Lovingly is authorized to immediately invoice your Retailer Account for all fees due and payable to Lovingly hereunder, (ii) Lovingly is authorized to share any payment information and instructions required to complete the payment transactions with its third-party payment service providers (e.g., credit card transaction processing, merchant settlement, and related services), and (iii) no additional notice or consent is required for the foregoing authorizations.
