Part C GENOAPAY MERCHANT TERMS AND CONDITIONS

This document sets out the terms on which Latitude Innovation Holdings Limited, trading as Genoapay (NZBN 9429047155084) (Genoapay) offers an online service to selected merchants (Merchants), who wish to offer to their customers (Customers) the ability to pay for goods or services purchased from the Merchant by way of weekly instalments, through an interest free loan provided to the Customer by Genoapay. The Service enables the Merchant to obtain a confirmation it will receive payment for the goods or services (less Genoapay’s fees) in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

By registering as a Merchant, you acknowledge and agree to be bound by the Agreement.

Introduction

These terms set out the basis on which you will be able to offer to Customers the ability to use a loan provided by Genoapay to pay (or part-pay) for Transactions.
In summary, the Service operates as follows:
1. a Customer registers with Genoapay to use the Service;
2. the Customer identifies a Merchant that is offering the option to pay for goods and services using a Genoapay loan; and
3. if the Merchant confirms that the Customer can use the Service to pay for goods and services from that Merchant, then the Customer will apply for a loan to pay the Merchant;
4. if the Customer’s loan application is approved by Genoapay, then the Customer and the Merchant will each receive a confirmation from Genoapay, following which the transaction between the Customer and the Merchant will be completed.
The above steps are carried out online on the Genoapay Website (except for the transaction between the Customer and the Merchant). The terms on which Genoapay provides the Service to Customers are set out on the Website.
If there is any inconsistency between these terms and any other terms set out on the Website, these terms will prevail (except as expressly contemplated by these terms). This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and Genoapay in relation to the provision of the Service by Genoapay. For the avoidance of doubt, neither party will act as or represent themselves to be the agent of the other party. Neither party has the authority to make any agreement, representation or warranty or to agree to any condition on behalf of the other. You will refer the Customer to Genoapay to satisfy the Customer’s enquiries (if any) in respect of his or her obligations relating to the Service.

Registration as a Merchant

In order to access and use the Service, you must register as a Merchant by completing the Merchant Application. The Merchant Application will collect personal information from you, which will be used by and disclosed by Genoapay, on the terms set out in the Credit Reporting and Privacy Policy specified on the Website, which you agree will be binding on you. You also agree to Genoapay using the information collected (including personal information) to complete a Commercial Credit Check in order to assess your eligibility for a facility. Genoapay reserves the right not to register any person as a Merchant if that person has not completed the registration process to Genoapay’s satisfaction.
Once you are registered as a Merchant, you can promote the Service to Customers. Genoapay grants you a non-exclusive license to use Genoapay’s name, brand and marketing materials to promote the use of the Service to potential customers of Genoapay, provided however, that anytime the Genoapay name, brand or logo is intended to be used, you must obtain Genoapay’s prior written consent and comply with Genoapay’s branding guidelines on the Website. Genoapay’s consent shall not be taken as warranty that such material complies with applicable laws. This license will terminate on termination of your registration for any reason.
You will support and promote the Service in your Stores in accordance with this Agreement.
Genoapay may terminate or suspend your registration as a Merchant at any time by notice to you (including to address any security issues, concerns regarding your financial condition or any adverse finding following a Genoapay review. Genoapay may terminate the Agreement or suspend your registration at any time by notice to you (1) if Genoapay reasonably believes that you are not complying with the Agreement or any other contractual agreement which you have with Genoapay or its Related Entities, (2) if you have engaged in conduct which is unlawful or which in Genoapay’s opinion is unsatisfactory because (a) it is adverse to the interests, business or reputation of Genoapay or (b) is in substantial non compliance with requests made of you by Genoapay in connection with your obligations under the Agreement; (3) if you cease to carry on business or you (or any of your directors) become bankrupt or otherwise insolvent or appear likely to do so; (5) if the Service is not used by your customers for any Transaction for a period of at least 90 days; (6) if the law allows or requires us to do so; or (7) in accordance with the Merchant Pricing Offer. You may terminate the Agreement on written notice: (1) if Genoapay has committed a material breach of its obligations under this Agreement and has failed to remedy that breach within 30 days of being notified in writing that you require Genoapay to remedy such breach or (2) in accordance with the Merchant Pricing Offer.
This Agreement will apply to you for so long as you are registered as a Merchant. If your registration is terminated or suspended, these terms will continue to apply in respect of any Transaction which you have completed with a Customer. On termination or suspension, you must comply with the relevant requirements set out in the Merchant Operating Guide. Clauses 19-23 (inclusive), 26 to 31 (inclusive), 34 to 37 (inclusive), 41, 42, 44, 45 and 46 survive the termination of this Agreement.

To make the Service available to a Customer, you must either:
1. access the Website at your site or other physical store; or
2. make the Service available to the Customer via your own website or other online portal,

and provide the price and other details relating to the Transaction to the Customer via the Website. By doing so, you are making an irrevocable offer to the Customer to enter into the Transaction on the basis of the payment details you provide, subject only to the Customer’s application for a Loan being approved. The Customer will not be able to accept your offer (thereby making the Transaction binding as between you and the Customer) unless the Loan is approved. Once the Loan application is approved, the Customer will be able to accept your offer by providing the Customer’s payment details to Genoapay, following which both you and the Customer will simultaneously be notified when the Transaction has been completed. You acknowledge and agree that if you receive this confirmation, you will complete the transaction with the Customer and will deliver or provide the relevant goods and/or services to that Customer.

If you are notified that the Transaction has been completed, then Genoapay, will pay to you an amount equal to the Transaction Value less the Fees (plus GST) and any Third Party Costs which will be deducted at the time that Genoapay settles the Transaction with you. The Fees % will be set out in the Merchant Pricing Offer and calculated as a % of the total Transaction Value.
By making the offer to the Customer as described in clause 11, you agree to accept the amount payable by Genoapay under clause 12, and the timing of that payment, as full and final payment by that Customer of the Customer’s payment obligations (or part-payment obligations, if relevant) in respect of the Transaction.
If you receive notification from Genoapay that a Customer’s application for a Loan has not been approved, you are free to agree any other payment terms with that Customer in respect of the relevant Transaction.

You acknowledge and agree that:
1. you cannot charge a Customer any additional fees or other amounts (including, for example, higher prices for goods/services) for using the Service to pay for a Transaction; and
