Cardholder Agreement

MeshPay Visa® Commercial Reloadable Prepaid Card Cardholder Agreement

This MeshPay Visa® Commercial Reloadable Prepaid Card Cardholder Agreement (this “Agreement”) constitutes a legal agreement between SoFi Bank, National Association (“Bank”) and the business accepting this Agreement (“Customer” or “User”) and governs the parties’ relationship in connection with the MeshPay Visa® Commercial Reloadable Prepaid Card Program (the “Program”). By applying for, opening, accepting, or using a Card Account (as defined in Section 1.b.) or any Card (as defined in Section 1.b.), Customer agrees to be bound by, and comply with, the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

1. Overview of Program

(a) Bank and Mesh Payments Inc. (“Program Manager”) have established and will maintain the Program and may make the Program available to Customer, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(b) The Program is a commercial prepaid card program that will enable Customer to (i) request and receive a commercial prepaid card account, which will be a subaccount maintained for the purpose of requesting and receiving commercial prepaid cards and recording the funds provided by Customer and held in an omnibus account maintained by Bank for the benefit of commercial customers participation in the Program (such subaccount, the “Card Account,” and the omnibus account, the “Omnibus Account”), (ii) request the issuance of and receive commercial prepaid cards issued to Customer by Bank that can be loaded and re-loaded with Customer funds in the Omnibus Account, as set forth in, and in accordance with, the terms and conditions of this Agreement (each, a “Card”), and (iii) make available Cards to Authorized Users (as defined in Section 4.c.) to be used for purchases of goods or services on behalf of Customer for the business purposes of Customer.

(c) Under the Program, Bank will serve as the issuer of the Cards issued to Customer through the Program, and Program Manager will administer the Program for Bank, including by: (i) interfacing with Customer and its authorized representatives (including Authorized Users) in connection with the Program; (ii) managing the relationship between Bank and Customer; (iii) enforcing the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any other relevant agreements between Bank and Customer (if any); and (iv) providing other services authorized by Bank. Bank will issue all Cards under a license from Visa Inc. and/or its affiliates or subsidiaries (collectively, “Visa”). Customer acknowledges and agrees that Bank may engage Program Manager to perform any of Bank’s rights or responsibilities in connection with this Agreement, even if this Agreement does not expressly indicate that Program Manager may be the party that performs a particular right or responsibility.

(d) Customer will send and receive instructions and information concerning the Omnibus Account, the Card Account, and any Cards by electronic means through the Platform (as defined in Section 2.a. below). Customer’s access to the Platform will be governed by a separate agreement between Customer and Program Manager, available at https://meshpayments.com/terms-of-use (together with related disclosures, the “Mesh Terms of Use”). Customer acknowledges that any fees applicable under the Mesh Terms of Use (“Mesh Fees”) are set out in, and subject to, those terms, and that Bank is not responsible for any Mesh Fees. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Bank is not a party to the Mesh Terms of Use and is not responsible or liable to Customer for any acts or omissions of Program Manager in connection with the Mesh Terms of Use. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and the Mesh Terms of Use with respect to any aspect of the Program, this Agreement will exclusively govern such conflict or inconsistency, as between Bank and Customer.

2. Applying for a Card Account

(a) Customer may apply for a Card Account through the platform provided or otherwise made available by Program Manager, available at https://meshpayments.com, or such other means as Bank may approve, and Program Manager may make available to Customer, from time to time (e.g., an application programming interface) (the “Platform”). By applying for a Card Account and making available Cards for use on Customer’s behalf, Customer represents, warrants, and covenants that Customer is a business and not an individual consumer and Customer will remain a legal entity that is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the U.S. state of its organization, and that it is and will remain authorized to do business in each U.S. state in which the nature of its activities make such authorization necessary.

(b) To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each business or person who opens an account. Accordingly, when Customer applies for a Card Account, Bank or Program Manager will ask Customer to provide certain information, and Customer agrees to provide all such information. Each time Customer provides any information to Bank or Program Manager in connection with the Program or this Agreement, Customer represents and warrants that such information is true, accurate, complete, and current, and that Customer has obtained and will maintain all consents that may be necessary to provide or make available the information to Bank and Program Manager. Customer agrees to keep current all of the information provided to Bank or Program Manager, and to notify Bank and Program Manager of any change to any such information. Customer will promptly provide Bank and Program Manager with any and all information Bank or Program Manager may request from time to time.

(c) Customer authorizes Bank to investigate Customer and Customer’s beneficial owners, affiliates, subsidiaries, principals, and representatives in connection with any application for, and the establishment and maintenance of, a Card Account, including by requesting and retrieving information from third parties, including Program Manager, other financial institutions, and credit reporting agencies. Customer may be subject to annual or more frequent reviews, as determined by Bank in its sole discretion, and Bank may investigate and evaluate Customer at any time and require Customer to provide any additional information as Bank deems necessary, appropriate, or advisable. Customer agrees that each of Bank and Program Manager may share any information provided to Bank or Program Manager in connection with the Program, including information about or relating to Customer’s beneficial owners, affiliates, subsidiaries, principals, and representatives, a Card Account, Card transactions, or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, with Program Manager or Bank, as the case may be, and with any relevant third parties.

3. Funding of Omnibus Account; Provision of Card Account and Issuance of Cards

(a) Issuance. When Bank makes available a Card Account or issues a Card through the Program, the Card Account will be provided, and the Card will be issued, to and in the name of Customer. Each time a Card is requested by or through the Card Account, Customer represents and warrants that Customer is requesting the Card in order for Authorized Users to make purchases of goods or services, on behalf of Customer, for the business purposes of Customer, as expressly permitted by this Agreement. Bank may refuse to issue any Card requested by or through Customer.

(b) Funding Omnibus Account. In order to load funds onto Cards, Customer must fund the Omnibus Account itself to an account designated for such purpose by the Program Manager or via instructions delivered to Program Manager through the Platform. Customer may fund the Omnibus Account using the methods supported by Bank, which will be detailed in, and subject to, the Mesh Terms of Use that govern the methods of, and requirements related to, funding of the Omnibus Account. Following Customer’s funding of the Omnibus Account, the amount of funds available for loading onto Cards will be associated with Customer’s Card Account. Subject to any limits or other restrictions established by Bank from time to time, the maximum aggregate value of Customer’s funds in the Omnibus Account at any time may not exceed $10,000,000. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Customer will not receive or otherwise earn any interest on any of Customer’s funds in the Omnibus Account or any Card Account or Card.

(c) Request and Loading of Cards. Subject to the availability of good funds associated with Customer’s Card Account, upon Customer’s request, through a representative of Customer (which may be an Authorized User), a Card will be generated or provided to Customer or the applicable Authorized User and funds associated with the Card Account will be loaded onto the Card. Customer, through its representative (which may be an Authorized User), may request a physical plastic Card (each, a “Physical Card”), a virtual representation of a Card (each, a “Virtual Card”), or both, in connection with the Card Account. Each Physical Card and Virtual Card issued to Customer will be associated with one Primary Access Number (each, a “PAN”). Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, Customer’s rights and obligations under this Agreement will apply to both Physical Cards and Virtual Cards. If a Virtual Card is disabled in accordance with this Agreement, then the associated Physical Card also may be disabled. Subject to Customer’s instructions and the consent of Program Manager, Customer may cause Bank to issue multiple Cards, all of which will be associated with Customer’s Card Account and each of which may be subject to their own individual limitations (e.g., amounts loaded to such Cards, spending limits on such Cards, merchant-type limitations on such Cards, etc.).

(i.) Physical Card. If Customer, through its authorized representative (which may be an Authorized User), requests a Physical Card, then Program Manager will mail the Physical Card to the address provided by Customer through the Platform or to such other address permitted by Bank or Program Manager. Upon an Authorized User’s receipt of any Physical Card, the Authorized User must call customer service at +1 (888) 488-0589 to activate the Physical Card and must select or receive a Personal Identification Number (each, a “PIN”) for the Physical Card before using the Physical Card. Customer must ensure that no Authorized User writes or keeps any PIN with the associated Card, and that Customer and each Authorized User otherwise secure and safeguard any PIN at all times. If Customer, any Authorized User, or any other representative of Customer believes or suspects that any person has gained unauthorized access to a PIN, then Customer must immediately call the number on the back of the Card, +1 (888) 488-0589 and send notice through https://meshpayments.com/contact/ or write to Program Manager at support@meshpayments.com.

(ii.) Virtual Card. If Customer through its authorized representative (which may be an Authorized User), requests a Virtual Card, then the Virtual Card will be issued, activated, displayed in the Platform, and ready for use following the first successful load of funds to the Card Account. No Virtual Card will work at an automated teller machine (each, an “ATM”).

(d) Customer and any authorized representative of Customer (including any Authorized User) may access funds in the Card Account only through the Card.

4. Management and Use of Card Account and Cards

(a) Generally. Customer acknowledges that the Cards enable Authorized Users to make purchases of good or services at one or more merchants. Customer will be responsible for ensuring that all Cards are only used to make purchases of goods or services, on behalf of Customer, for a business purpose of Customer.

(b) Limitations on Frequency and Dollar Amounts. Subject to any limits or other restrictions established by Bank from time to time, the maximum aggregate value of Customer’s funds associated with the Card Account at any time may not exceed $10,000,000; the maximum amount of purchases with a Card in a day may not exceed $10,000,000; and the maximum load amount for any Card may not exceed $10,000,000. Customer and the Card Account will be subject to other limitations and restrictions, including the following:

Transaction/load typeMaximum amount
Amounts associated with Card Account$10,000,000
Purchases with Cards$10,000,000 per day
Value loads to Cards$10,000,000 per day

(c) Authorized Users. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Customer may authorize an employee of Customer (each, an “Authorized User”) to request, access, receive, and use a Card on behalf of Customer. Customer will be responsible for ensuring that no person other than an Authorized User requests, accesses, receives, or uses a Card. Customer will be responsible for all aspects of monitoring all activities and transactions of all Authorized Users, including for ensuring that each Authorized User complies with all applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement as if the Authorized User is “Customer” under this Agreement. Customer agrees to be responsible for all acts and omissions of Authorized Users. Bank may suspend or terminate any Authorized User’s access to or use of a Card Account or Card in its sole and absolute discretion for any reason or for no reason and without prior notice to, or the consent of, Customer.

(d) Transactions; Spending Limits. Customer will be responsible for all transactions initiated with or through the Card Account or any Card. Each transaction initiated by Customer will reduce the amount of funds available on a Card. No transaction initiated with a Card may exceed the available funds on the Card. Bank may place spending limits on the Card Account or Cards at either the request of Program Manager or in Bank’s sole discretion. Bank may restrict the maximum amount of any particular transaction and the number of transactions allowed in connection with the Card Account or any Card, and Bank may establish limits on the types of merchants with which Authorized Users may initiate transactions.

(e) Compliance. Customer will be responsible for ensuring compliance with any limitations or other restrictions established from time to time by Bank, Program Manager, or any applicable card network that are applicable or relevant to Customer, Authorized Users, or the Card Account or Cards. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Customer will ensure that the Cards are not used for or in connection with (i) any purpose or transaction that violates applicable law or the rules, regulations, requirements, standards, or expectations of any applicable card network (collectively, the “Card Network Rules”), (ii) any fraudulent purpose, (iii) any personal, family, or household purpose, or (iv) any purpose, transaction, or activities identified by Bank, Program Manager, or any card network as a restricted purpose, business, or activity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Customer will not use the Card Account or any Card in connection with any gambling transaction or gambling activity.

(f) Receipts. Customer shall ensure that each Authorized User requests and obtains a receipt at the time the Authorized User makes a transaction using a Card. Customer agrees to review and retain all receipts to verify transactions made with Cards, including to ensure that the transaction complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(g) Refunds. If Customer is entitled to a refund for any reason for goods or services obtained using a Card, then Customer agrees to request the refund from the applicable merchant and to accept credits to the Card Account for such refunds. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Bank is not responsible or liable for any refund to which Customer may be entitled from a merchant. The amounts credited to the Card Account for refunds may not be available for a period of time following the date the applicable refund transaction occurs.

(h) Decline and Reversal. Bank reserves the right to decline any transaction, or to reverse a previously approved transaction, and Customer agrees that Bank will not be responsible or liable for any losses or other liabilities that Customer may incur that arise out of or relate to any declined or reversed transaction.

(i) Responsibility for Transactions. Subject to applicable law and the Card Network Rules, and except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, Customer is and will be responsible for all transactions, including for any losses or other liabilities that arise out of or relate to any such transactions, in connection with the Omnibus Account, the Card Account, and any Cards.

(j) Authorization Holds. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 4.k., Customer may not stop payment in connection with any purchase transaction originated with a Card. When an Authorized User uses a Card to pay for goods or services, certain merchants may request that Bank authorize the transaction in advance, and the applicable merchant may estimate the final value of the transaction at the time of the authorization request. When Bank authorizes a transaction, Bank becomes obligated to make the merchant’s requested funds available when the transaction finally settles. Accordingly, when Bank authorizes a transaction, Bank will place a temporary hold on funds associated with the Card for the amount indicated by the applicable merchant. If an Authorized User initiates a transaction, Bank authorizes the transaction, and the Authorized User then fails to purchase the applicable goods or services as planned, then Bank’s authorization of the transaction may result in a hold on the applicable amount of funds associated with the Card. For car rental merchants, hotel merchants, and other service-oriented merchants who request authorizations, those merchants may take into account and include additional amounts in the authorization request, and those additional amounts will be unavailable for use until such time as the transaction is finally settled.

(k) Recurring Transactions. If Customer intends to allow Authorized Users to use any Card to initiate subscription or other recurring transactions, then Customer will monitor the Card to ensure that the Card has adequate funds to cover such subscription or other recurring transactions. Bank will not be responsible if any subscription or other recurring transaction is declined, whether due Customer’s failure to maintain sufficient funds associated with a Card, due to the authorization of a transaction, clearing, or settlement of a transaction that causes a negative balance, or otherwise, and Customer will be responsible for promptly curing any negative balance and reimbursing Bank for any related transactions or Losses. If any merchant has been authorized to make a subscription or other recurring transaction with a Card, then Customer must contact the merchant to cancel such subscription or other recurring transaction. Except as otherwise prohibited by applicable law or Card Network Rules, Customer will be responsible for any subscription or other recurring transactions on Cards.

(l) Disputed Charges and Errors. Customer will promptly report to Bank any transaction that Customer believes or suspects is unauthorized or made in error (any such reported Charge, a “Disputed Transaction”), or if Customer believes any periodic statement provided or otherwise made available to Customer contains any error. In connection with Customer’s notice to Bank regarding any Disputed Transaction or suspected error, Customer will include Customer’s name, the applicable Authorized User, details about the underlying transaction or error, and an explanation of Customer’s belief that such Disputed Transaction or suspected error was unauthorized or made in error. Bank and Program Manager will review any notice for a Disputed Transaction or suspected error in a commercially reasonable manner and, subject to applicable law and the Card Network Rules, will have sole discretion to decide on any such Disputed Transaction or suspected error. Unless required by applicable law or Card Network Rules, Bank will not be responsible for any dispute Customer may have with any goods or services purchased with a Card, and Customer agrees to resolve any such dispute with the applicable merchant. Customer assigns and transfers to Bank any rights and claims that Customer may have against a merchant for any Disputed Transaction that has been fully or partially credited to a Card or the Card Account. Customer agrees to take all necessary, appropriate, or advisable actions, including executing all agreements, documents, and other instruments, to evidence the assignment and transfer of any such rights and claims to Bank.

(m) Safeguarding and Securing Card Account, Cards, and Information. Customer is responsible for implementing and adhering to, and causing Authorized Users and any other representatives of Customer to adhere to, commercially reasonable measures to safeguard and secure all Card Accounts, Cards, and related information. Customer will notify Bank and Program Manager immediately if Customer, any Authorized User, or any other representative of Customer believes or suspects that there has been any unauthorized access to or use of any Card Account, Card, or related information, that any Card has been lost or stolen, or that any Card is being used without Customer’s permission.

5. Suspension and Termination

Bank may, in its sole and absolute discretion, cancel, close, revoke, repossess, suspend, or restrict the Omnibus Account, the Card Account, any Card, or Customer’s or any Authorized User’s access to or use of the Card Account or any Card at any time, with or without cause and without prior notice to Customer, including for (a) any inaccurate or untrue representation or other misrepresentation by Customer or any employee or other representative (including any Authorized User), (b) any breach or violation of applicable law, the Card Network Rules, or any term or condition of this Agreement by Customer or any employee or other representative (including any Authorized User), (c) any failure by Customer to pay any amounts owed when due, or (d) any change in the financial condition of Customer. Additionally, Bank may cancel, close, revoke, repossess, suspend, or restrict the Omnibus Account, the Card Account, any Card, or Customer’s or any employee’s or other representative’s (including any Authorized User’s) access to or use of the Card Account or any Card at any time and without prior notice to Customer if Bank determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that Customer poses unacceptable legal, regulatory, or card network compliance risk, security risk, financial risk, or reputational risk to Bank. If Bank exercises any right to cancel, close, revoke, repossess, suspend, or restrict the Omnibus Account, the Card Account, any Card, or Customer’s or any employee’s or other representative’s (including any Authorized User’s) access to or use of the Omnibus Account, the Card Account, or any Card, then Customer agrees to fully cooperate with all reasonable requests of Bank to effect such action. Bank and Program Manager may require Customer to provide any information that Bank or Program Manager believes is necessary, appropriate, or advisable to comply with applicable law or the Card Network Rules, and Customer agrees to provide such information to Bank or Program Manager. Customer may request that Bank close the Card Account and all Cards by providing notice as follows: by email to support@meshpayments.com, or by written notice to MeshPay US, Inc., 1350 Broadway, 24th Floor, New York, NY 10018 US, Atten Legal Department.

6. Bank Fees, Payment, and Penalties

(a) Bank Fees. Except for any fees applicable to international use and foreign transactions as set forth in Section 6.b., the fees for the Program charged by Bank to Customer (the “Bank Fees”) are ZERO DOLLARS ($0.00). Bank may adjust the Bank Fees from time to time upon notice to Customer. In addition to the Bank Fees applicable to the Program, Customer will be responsible for any other amounts imposed in connection with the Omnibus Account, the Card Account, or any Card, which other amounts will be disclosed to Customer by Program Manager.

(b) International Use and Foreign Transactions. For Card transactions that Customer carries out outside of United States, a currency conversion rate will apply to the transaction.  If Customer conducts a transaction with a Card in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, then the charge will be converted into a U.S. Dollar amount. In each transaction where a currency conversion takes place, the currency conversion procedure may include the use of either a government-mandated exchange rate, or a wholesale exchange rate selected by the applicable card network. The exchange rate Visa uses will be a wholesale exchange rate in effect on the day the applicable transaction is processed, which rate may differ from the rate in effect on the date of purchase or the date the applicable transaction was settled

(c) Periodic Statements and Payment. All Bank Fees, penalties, and other amounts incurred in connection with the Card Account and Cards will be reflected in the applicable periodic statement and made available to Customer through the Platform. To the extent Customer owes any amounts under a periodic statement, Customer will pay all such amounts set forth in the periodic statement as directed in the periodic statement or as otherwise directed by Bank or Program Manager. Customer also may obtain a 24-month written history of account transactions through the Platform by emailing support@meshpayments.com, or by visiting https://meshpayments.com/contact. Customer will pay all reasonable costs and expenses, including any reasonable attorney fees, Bank or Program Manager may incur to collect any Bank Fees, penalties, or other amounts owed by Customer under this Agreement. If any Bank Fees, penalties, or other amounts owing to Bank under this Agreement exceed the funds held in the Card Account, if any, such Bank Fee, penalties, and other amounts will be due on demand.

(d) Security Interest and Right of Setoff. To secure any amounts owed to Bank in connection with this Agreement, Customer grants to Bank a security interest in and a right of setoff against all amounts and property of Customer now or hereafter in possession of Bank, subject to any limitations imposed by applicable law, in addition to any other remedies available to Bank. Bank may secure any security interest and right of setoff without demand upon notice to Customer. No security interest or right of setoff under this Agreement will be deemed to have been waived by any act or conduct on the part of Bank, or any failure or delay by Bank to enforce any such security interest or exercise such right of setoff. Any security interest and right of setoff of Bank set forth in this Section 6.d. will continue in full force and effect until such security interest or right of setoff is specifically waived or released by an instrument in writing executed by Bank.

7. Data Privacy and Use

The Bank privacy notice or policy, which was made available to Customer at the time of or prior to Customer entering into this Agreement, and as the same may be modified, supplemented, or amended from time to time (the “Privacy Policy”), explains how and for what purposes Bank collects, uses, retains, discloses, and safeguards data provided to Bank in connection with the Program. Without limiting any consents provided by Customer in this Agreement, Customer represents and warrants that Customer has reviewed the Privacy Policy and consents, on behalf of itself and any relevant employee or other representative (including any Authorized Users), to Bank’s collection, use, retention, and disclosure of data provided to Bank in connection with the Program as contemplated by the Privacy Policy and this Agreement. Customer also represents, warrants, and covenants that Customer has obtained, or will obtain prior to engaging in any activities in connection with this Agreement, all necessary rights and consents to provide to Bank, and to allow Bank to collect, use, retain, and disclose, any data in connection with the Program. Bank may modify, supplement, or amend the Privacy Policy at any time and from time to time.

8. Monitoring

From time to time, Bank or Program Manager may monitor and/or record telephone calls between Customer and Bank or Program Manager to assure the quality of customer service or as required by applicable law. Each of Bank and Program Manager may use automated telephone dialing and electronic mail to provide communications to Customer, Authorized Users, and other representatives of Customer and to contact Customer, Authorized Users, and other representatives about transactions and other important information regarding this Agreement or Customer. Telephone messages may be played by a machine automatically when the telephone is answered, whether answered by Customer, another person, or a voicemail or answering machine. Customer authorizes Bank and Program Manager to call any telephone number Customer has provided to Bank or Program Manager and to play prerecorded messages over the phone with information about any transactions, Customer, the Program, or this Agreement. Customer grants to Bank and Program Manager permission to communicate any information about any transactions, Customer, the Program, or this Agreement to Customer, any Authorized User, or any other representative of Customer by e-mail. Customer understands that, when a call or e-mail is received, Customer may incur a charge from the company that provides Customer with telecommunications and wireless and/or internet services. Customer agrees that Bank will not be responsible or liable to Customer for any fees, inconvenience, annoyance, or loss of privacy in connection with any calls or e-mails. Customer understands that anyone with access to Customer’s telephone, answering machine, or e-mail account may listen to or read messages, notwithstanding Bank’s or Program Manager’s efforts to communicate only with Customer or a particular Authorized User or other representative of Customer. This authorization is part of the Bank’s bargain regarding Customer’s participation in the Program and access to and use of the Card Account and Cards, and Bank does not intend such authorization to be revocable. However, to the extent Bank is required by applicable law to allow Customer to revoke the consent provided by Customer under this Section 8, Customer may do so by contacting Program Manager at +1 (888) 488-0589 or support@meshpayments.com.

Customer will keep current all contact information associated with the Card Account and any Card at all times.

Any waiver must be in a writing signed by Bank.

(h) Severability.

(i) Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with federal law and the law of the State of New York, except to the extent preempted or governed by federal law.

Terms of Use

Mesh Terms of Use

This agreement (“Agreement”) is between Mesh and the business (“User”) accepting this Agreement. This Agreement is effective when it is accepted by User (the “Effective Date”). “Mesh” is defined at the end of this Agreement. Please see the definitions section below for additional defined terms. An individual accepting this Agreement on behalf of a business entity represents that they have the authority to bind the entity to this Agreement.

1. Mesh Services

Mesh will provide secure data transmission and data processing for multiple business-to-business payment methods under this Agreement (the “Mesh Services”). Mesh Services are a data transfer and storage service. Payment Transactions initiated through the Mesh Services are supplied by Payment Providers (e.g. an Issuer) under separate Payment Provider Agreements (e.g. a Cardholder Agreement) between User and the Payment Provider. The Mesh Services also include reporting and analytics concerning Payment Transactions through the Account.  In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and a Payment Provider Agreement, the Payment Provider Agreement shall prevail.

2. User Account

(a) User Account. Mesh shall provide User with a unique digital Account and access codes for the Account to use the Mesh Services. User shall not disclose such codes or permit any third-party to use them, other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement. User has exclusive responsibility for use of its Account, access codes, and any Transactions within the Account.

(b) Individual Users. User may add or remove Individual Users at its discretion through the Account. User selects roles and rights of its Individual Users within the Account and shall cause each of them to comply with the terms of this Agreement. User will promptly update the Account with any changes to information supplied on setup, such as company name, address, email, User Deposit Account and Individual User information. Each Individual User is also a party to this Agreement as a ‘User’, but Individual Users are not liable for Mesh Fees or Payment Transaction settlements, nor are they party to any Payment Provider Agreements. User and each Individual User hereby agrees to the collection, processing and disclosure of Data concerning the User and Individual User and sharing such Data with User, Payment Providers and other Third-Party Servicers, all as per User instructions.

3. Payment Provider Agreements (e.g. a Cardholder Agreement)

Mesh Services allow User to accept Payment Provider Agreements (e.g. a Cardholder Agreement). When User accepts a Payment Provider Agreement, it becomes binding agreement between User and the Payment Provider. For example, if User wishes to use Cards from a Payment Provider that is an Issuer, then User’s use of the Card is subject to the corresponding Cardholder Agreement of the Payment Provider.  In all instances of User accessing a Balance that is associated with a Card, unless otherwise expressly provided for in the applicable Payment Provider Agreement, the Balance may be accessed only through the Card and by no other means.  Such restriction as to Balances associated with Cards applies to load, spend and other Payment Transactions in respect of the Balance.

4. Payment Transactions

User Data Transactions through the Mesh Services may result in Payment Provider carrying out various kinds of Payment Transactions for the User potentially including:

  • Load. User may add funds to their Card or other Balance by wire, ACH, or by instructing the Payment Provider to debit the User Deposit Account through ACH, or any other method made available by Mesh or Payment Provider, each subject to the Payment Provider Agreement. When associated with Cards, the Balance shall be applied to one Card, multiple Cards, all as per User Account preferences. Mesh reserves the right to instruct Payment Provider to place a hold on funds paid into the Balance by Card or other parameters in order to mitigate against potential fraud or other losses to User, Payment Provider, Mesh or a third-party.
  • Spend. User may use their Balance to spend funds pursuant to the Payment Provider Agreement and, where applicable, the Rules. If a Payment Transaction settles to the payee in a currency that is not U.S. dollars, or is located outside of the U.S., then the Payment Transaction amount may be reduced as a result of the applicable exchange rate.
  • Other Payment Transaction. If expressly provided for in the applicable Payment Provider Agreement, User may direct Payment Provider to transmit Balance funds to a payee by ACH, wire or such other means as Mesh may permit, all subject to the applicable Payment Provider Agreement.
  • Return of User Funds. Balance funds that have not been spent may be returned to User by ACH or wire, all subject to the Payment Provider Agreement and this Agreement.
  • Escheatment. If User Card, Balance or other Payment Service account is deemed “abandoned” or “unclaimed” under Applicable Law, Payment Provider may be required to “escheat” or transfer the assets in the account to the applicable state or other unclaimed property administrator.  It is User’s responsibility to ensure that Mesh always has the User’s correct address and email address for the Account and related Payment Services.  User shall keep User’s Account active by contacting Mesh Services or accessing User Account at least once a year.  None of Mesh nor any Payment Provider will be liable to User for good faith compliance with state or other escheatment laws.

Mesh does not take possession or control of Payment Transaction funds for User; such funds are in the possession and control of the applicable Payment Provider under a Payment Provider Agreement directly between User and the Payment Provider. Mesh is not a party to and not liable to User for Payment Transactions or otherwise under Payment Provider Agreements. User shall not attempt Payment Transactions that are greater than the available Balance or contrary to any Payment Provider Agreement. User agrees that each Payment Provider may set off from amounts owing to them or Mesh from amounts held by the Payment Provider.

5. Integrations

User appoints Mesh as its agent to deliver Data to, from and between User, Individual Users, Mesh, Payment Providers other Third-Party Servicers and other third parties. Such Data may be delivered by integrations that could be with Payment Providers, such as banks, Card Issuers, money transmitters, payment processors or with other Third-Party Servicers such as accounting platforms, mobile wallet providers or data gateways.  Mesh may add or remove integrations, at its discretion, as indicated on the Site or in the Account, from time to time.

6. Recurring Transactions

If instructed through the Account, Transactions may operate on a recurring basis (“Recurring Transactions”). Recurring Transactions will result in Mesh delivering multiple, periodic instructions for Payment Transactions in identical or varying amounts to the corresponding Payment Providers or other Third-Party Servicers, as the case may be. User shall immediately inform Mesh if it wishes to terminate or modify any such instructions and User acknowledges that Payment Providers may not be able to implement such instructions immediately.

7. User Data Transactions

User authorizes Mesh to collect, store, process and use Data supplied by User in order to perform the Mesh Services in accordance with the Mesh privacy policy posted here https://meshpayments.com/privacy-policy and incorporated into this Agreement. Mesh can retain User Data for the term of this Agreement and for six (6) years thereafter.

User agrees that Payment Providers can rely and act on User Data supplied to the Payment Provider by User through the Mesh Services. User may initiate Transactions through the Account. In each Transaction, Data may be sent to, from or between User, an Individual User, Mesh, a Customer, a Payment Provider, another Third-Party Servicer or another third-party. User is exclusively responsible for the accuracy and completeness of Data and instructions that it provides to Mesh for Transactions or otherwise. Mesh is authorized to rely on instructions supplied to the Mesh Services by User itself or any Individual User without independent verification.

8. Order Form

Mesh Services, and those services of Payment Providers, may be subject to an Order Form that, when accepted by the parties, will form part of this Agreement. Without limitation, the parties may add, remove or modify Mesh Services or terms applicable thereto through additional Order Forms, all of which form a part of this Agreement when accepted by the parties hereto. When the parties both accept an Order Form covering a commercial item that is the same as a previous Order Form, the latter Order Form prevails. Certain provisions of this Agreement apply only when they are selected in the Order Form. 

9. Subscriptions

If indicated in the Order Form, User may procure Mesh Services on a subscription basis (a “Subscription”) for single or recurring term (the “Subscription Term”). Following cancellation, User will not receive a refund of any Subscription Fees for the final billing period, but will continue to have access to the Subscription through the end of the Subscription Term. Termination of the Agreement or closure of User’s Account will also result in termination of the Subscription.

10. Cash-Back

Unless otherwise set out in an Order Form or other express written agreement between the parties, Mesh shall pay to User 1% of the face-value of all Card Payment Transactions that are settled from Cards to arm’s length third-party payees through Card Payment Networks in accordance with the Rules and which Payment Transactions are not subsequently reversed, charged back or returned (such amounts payable to User being, “Cash-Back”). Cash-Back shall be settled to User only to their Card Account and to no other account of the User or any third party. All Cash-Back payments are calculated by Mesh, at its sole discretion.  Mesh shall settle Cash-Back payable to User no earlier than ninety (90) days after the end of the calendar month during which the underlying Card Payment Transactions are settled.

User rights to Cash-Back are also subject to applicable conditions in an Order Form or other express written agreement between the parties. No Cash-Back is payable unless, during the calendar month during which it accrued, the calendar month during which it is payable and the intervening months, User Card Payment Transactions always exceed $50,000.00 per calendar month.  No Cash-Back is payable for: (i) Payment Transactions that are subject to a return, refund or chargeback; (ii) returned, refunded or charged back Payment Transaction amounts; (iii) amounts loaded to Card Account and returned to User or one of its Affiliates, either directly or indirectly; (iv) in or out-bound ACH, direct deposit, wire or other non-Card Payment Transactions; (v) for any calendar month during which returns, refunds, reimbursement of Payment Transactions exceeds 25% of the total Card Payment Transaction volume; or (vi) any Payment Transaction occurring at a time when User is in breach of this Agreement. No Cash-Back is payable more than once on any single Card Payment Transaction. Cash-Back amounts are not payable, even if they have accrued, if at the time they would normally be settled to the User, the User is no longer party to this Agreement or the User is no longer party to the Payment Provider Agreement applicable to the Card Account (e.g. cardholder agreement). For example, if this Agreement is terminated by either Party on a given date (the “Termination Date”), then User foregoes the right to any Cash-Back that would otherwise be payable after the Termination Date, whether or not the Cash-Back entitlement accrued before or after the Termination Date. Mesh may set off from any Cash-Back settlement, or any other amount owing to User, any amount owing to Mesh or a Payment Provider.

All Cash-Back settlements to the Card Account are provisional and subject to correction by Mesh for errors, overpayments or other applicable set-offs. Mesh may also, at its sole discretion, implement adjustments to Cash-Back amounts as a function of changes in User Payment Transaction or business activity, changes in interchange or other costs associated with Payment Transactions. At the discretion of Mesh, such Mesh adjustments to Cash-Back entitlements may have retroactive effect to the date of the underlying basis for the change. Such adjustments, however, shall not have the effect of changing Cash-Back amounts that have already been settled to the User.  Mesh also reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to amend any and all terms related to Cash-Back, including terminating them, by posting an updated version of this Agreement to the Site or by email notice to User, at any time. By continuing to use the Mesh Services after any such change takes effect, the User is deemed to have accepted the change.

11. Fees

  • Mesh Fees

Mesh Fees are in the Order Form. Mesh Fees shall be paid to Mesh by set-offs from Payment Transactions, debits from the Balance, ACH from User Deposit Account, wire or other means acceptable to Mesh, each as determined by Mesh. Mesh Fees are non-cancellable and non-refundable. Mesh Fees are supplemental to and do not supersede any transaction, currency conversion or other amounts owed, including those accessible through or in connection with the Mesh Services.  Mesh Fees are exclusive of applicable taxes; User is liable for all taxes applicable to Mesh Fees.

  • Payment Provider Fees

Fees charged by Payment Providers are in Payment Provider Agreements. Payment Provider fees may be set-off by the Payment Provider from User Balance, Transactions or any amounts owed to User by a Payment Provider or by such other means as are set out in the applicable Payment Provider Agreement. Payment Transactions settled to a payee in a currency that is not U.S. dollars may be increased or decreased on account of foreign exchange conversion costs.

  • Third Party Servicer Fees

Fees charged by other Third-Party Servicers are in Third Party Servicer Agreements. Third-Party Servicer fees and all amounts owing by User to them shall be paid by such means as are set out in the applicable Third Party Servicer Agreement. 

12. Payment of Fees

  • ACH / Direct Debit Consent

User desires to effect settlement of credits and debits from the User Deposit Account for payment of Mesh Fees or other amounts owing to Mesh, a Payments Provider or another Third Party Servicer by means of ACH and/or wire transfer in conjunction with the Mesh Services, therefore, User authorizes Mesh or its Affiliates and Payment Provider to initiate debit and credit entries to the User Deposit Account. User agrees to maintain sufficient funds in User Deposit Account to cover debit transactions. User states that it has authority to agree to such transactions and that the User Deposit Account indicated is a valid and legitimate account for the handling of these transactions. This authority is to remain in effect until Mesh receives written notice from User revoking it. This authorization is for the payment of Mesh Fees, or any other sums owed to Mesh or its Affiliates. User also certifies that the appropriate authorizations are in place to allow User to authorize this method of settlement. All changes to the identification of the User Deposit Account under this authorization must be made in writing in accordance with the Agreement. User understands that if the information supplied as to the ABA Routing Number and User Deposit Account Number of the User Deposit Account is incorrect, and funds are incorrectly deposited, Mesh will attempt to assist User in the recovery of such funds but has no liability as to restitution of the same. Mesh’s assistance in recovering the funds, where available, will be billed to User at Mesh’s current hourly rate for such work. User acknowledges that the origination of ACH transactions to the User Deposit Account must comply with the provisions of U.S. law or any other Applicable Laws.

  • Direct Debit Consent

Each User located outside of the U.S. (and therefore not contracting with Mesh US, as defined below, or a US Payment Provider), shall accept such additional direct debit consents as are necessary for Mesh to collect amounts owing from User to Mesh hereunder directly from the User Deposit Account or User Balance with a Payment Provider.

  • Direct Debit Consent

Without prior notice to or consent of User, Mesh may at its sole discretion, set-off from any Cash-Back amount or any other amount payable to User or withdraw from the Balance any amount owing to Mesh or any or its Affiliates or any Payment Provider.

13. User Representations

User represents and warrants to Mesh that:

  • Compliance with Applicable Laws. User will conduct its business affairs in compliance with Applicable Laws and Rules.
  • Data. Concerning Data supplied by User to Mesh, including but not limited to Data concerning Individual Users, User has obtained consents necessary from the subjects thereof for such Data to be entered into the Services, processes and disclosed by Mesh and Third-Party Servicers (e.g. Payment Providers) in accordance with this Agreement.
