Terms and Conditions

I. Equipment Options:

Equipment means the terminals, printers, readers, and accessories hardware necessary to operate Merchant’s chosen Jupiter Payments solution. Merchant may choose to provide its own Equipment, to purchase equipment from or through JUPITER PAYMENTS, to rent equipment or any combination of these options. This agreement provides the rules for any of these options, with the terms of Section II applying to all options. This Equipment Agreement is part of and shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the Agreement and is incorporated therein by reference.

a. Providing Your Own Equipment: Merchant may choose to purchase or lease Equipment from parties other than JUPITER PAYMENTS. In such case, JUPITER PAYMENTS makes no promise that Equipment acquired through third parties (“Third Party Equipment”) will work correctly with and for JUPITER PAYMENTS Software, Services and Equipment. Except as specifically stated in this Equipment Agreement, JUPITER PAYMENTS will not be responsible for any failure, speed, or adequacy of Third-Party Equipment, for performance of JUPITER PAYMENTS Software or Services on Third Party Equipment or for repair or replacement of any Third-Party Equipment except as specifically stated in this Equipment Agreement. JUPITER PAYMENTS may elect to support certain Third-Party Equipment in its sole discretion, and if it so elects JUPITER PAYMENTS will replace and repair Merchant’s Third-Party Equipment should the equipment become inoperative, in which event Merchant will receive replacement equipment and the repaired Third-Party Equipment will be placed in JUPITER PAYMENTS inventory. Merchant will be billed for all replacements and repairs of Merchant’s Third-Party Equipment. Returned Merchant Third Party Equipment that cannot be repaired will be replaced and billed as a new purchase. JUPITER PAYMENTS does not provide repair or replacement service for Third Party Equipment provided by third party Point of Sale (POS) System providers.

b. Purchasing Equipment from JUPITER PAYMENTS: Merchant may choose to buy some or all the necessary Equipment from or through JUPITER PAYMENTS. Such purchases must be properly noted on the Purchase Order (PO). Unless otherwise specifically described in the documentation provided with the Equipment, JUPITER PAYMENTS provides a one-year warranty beginning on the date of shipment on all JUPITER PAYMENTS manufactured Equipment (including its internal software) that such Equipment shall be free from faulty workmanship and defects in materials (“JUPITER PAYMENTS Hardware Warranty”). Equipment covered by the JUPITER PAYMENTS Hardware Warranty will be replaced at no cost to the Merchant during the applicable warranty period. However, Equipment sold to Merchant by or through JUPITER PAYMENTS and sent back to JUPITER PAYMENTS, but not covered under the JUPITER PAYMENTS Hardware Warranty (including, but not limited to, JUPITER PAYMENTS manufactured and sold equipment damaged by fire, lightning, water damage) will be replaced and billed to Merchant as a new purchase. After the warranty period, JUPITER PAYMENTS will replace such Equipment and repair damaged Equipment at Merchant’s expense. If Equipment is damaged by the negligence or the willful acts or omissions of Merchant, its employees, agents or customers during the applicable warranty period, Merchant will be charged for Equipment repairs or replacements. If Equipment purchased from JUPITER PAYMENTS is returned within sixty (60) days of purchase in Original Condition, JUPITER PAYMENTS will pro-rate the purchase price of the Equipment and refund the difference less a restocking fee of $100 for new Equipment and $50 for used repair/replacements. “Original Condition” means Equipment that has not been used to process transactions, other than to test the Equipment prior to deployment for general use. JUPITER PAYMENTS will not accept returned Equipment after 60 days of purchase or Equipment not in Original Condition. For both warrant and non-warranty replacements, JUPITER PAYMENTS, at their expense, will provide a shipping label to merchant to return the defective equipment. If defective equipment is not returned within ten (10) days, JUPITER PAYMENTS reserves the right to charge the full replacement value of said equipment.

c. Renting Equipment from JUPITER PAYMENTS (Freedom Cash Discount Program™): Merchant may choose to rent Equipment from JUPITER PAYMENTS or have equipment rented as part of the Freedom Cash Discount Program™. Merchant is liable for all rental payments due hereunder. Rental privileges shall last as long as Merchant continues to remit timely rental payments and complies with its agreements with JUPITER PAYMENTS. Rented Equipment is the personal property of JUPITER PAYMENTS and will not be deemed for any purpose to be fixtures. JUPITER PAYMENTS shall have the right to affix or attach to all rented Equipment a tag or label indicating its ownership of, or interest in, said Equipment. Merchant will not remove, or permit the removal of, any such tag or label. Merchant will not sell, lease, encumber, or otherwise dispose of any interest in, any rented Equipment and will keep it free of all liens, claims or encumbrances whatsoever. Rental Equipment is the sole property of JUPITER PAYMENTS and will be replaced at no expense to Merchant if the Equipment becomes inoperable through no fault of Merchant, its employees, agents, or customers. However, if damage of rental Equipment is due to the negligence or the willful acts or omissions of merchants, its employees, agents or customers, merchant will be charged for the replacement costs per the Equipment Price List. Merchant will indemnify JUPITER PAYMENTS against any loss or destruction of any Equipment for any cause whatsoever, excepting the negligence of JUPITER PAYMENTS. Merchant shall pay the monthly rental price indicated on the Purchase Order (PO). Rental fees will be collected monthly via an automatic ACH debit to Merchant’s Account and will be billed monthly including the last month in which merchant processes transactions or maintains possession of equipment, whichever is greater. If ACH rejects or cancels merchant will be charged an additional $20 NSF fee which will be added to the original monthly fee and the ACH will be presented one (1) more time by JUPITER PAYMENTS. If rejected twice (2), JUPITER PAYMENTS will reach out to agent and give them the option to absorb said monthly fees incurred (including NSF fees) or program can be terminated, and merchant can be sent to collections for any unpaid monthly fees agreed upon herein. All JUPITER PAYMENTS owned Equipment must be returned to JUPITER PAYMENTS at the expense of JUPITER PAYMENTS (call tag will be emailed to merchant and agent) and rental billing will continue until Equipment is received by JUPITER PAYMENTS. If rented Equipment malfunctions and JUPITER PAYMENTS issue a replacement for said Equipment, Merchant shall, within ten (10) days of receipt of the replacement equipment, ship the malfunctioning Equipment to JUPITER PAYMENTS at JUPITER PAYMENTS expense. If Merchant fails to so return the malfunctioning Equipment to JUPITER PAYMENTS, Merchant shall be liable for the full replacement value of said Equipment and for any legal cost incurred by JUPITER PAYMENTS in connection with recovery of the malfunctioning Equipment. Merchant’s DDA Account will be debited for all amounts due JUPITER PAYMENTS for unreturned Equipment. If merchant’s DDA account rejects the ACH, JUPITER PAYMENTS reserves the right to send the merchant to collections.
