TOTAL GLOBAL SPORTS

MERCHANT TERMS AND CONDITIONS

These Merchant Terms and Conditions (the “Terms and Conditions”) govern and are incorporated into the Total Global Sports Merchant Agreement between Total Global Sports, Inc. (“TGS”) and Merchant (collectively the “Agreement”).

1. Voucher Program.

(a)           TGS is authorized to promote and sell Vouchers on Merchant’s behalf subject to the terms of this Agreement. The Voucher will evidence the goods and/or services to be provided by the Merchant, stated on the Voucher as presented by TGS (“Merchant Offering”) and will be sent to the purchaser electronically once payment is received. The purchaser will then redeem the Voucher with the Merchant by presenting the Voucher in paper or electronic form. Merchant is the issuer of the Vouchers and seller of the Merchant Offering. If there is a conflict between this Agreement and any terms of sale, the Agreement controls.

(b)           TGS is authorized to promote and sell Vouchers on Merchant’s behalf through any platform or distribution channel owned, controlled, or operated by TGS, including TGS’ website, mobile website, or mobile applications. The Vouchers may be offered to all or part of TGS’ events.

(c)           For appointment based Merchant Offerings, TGS may require that Merchant provide TGS with a calendar of available appointment times and allow TGS purchasers to schedule appointments with the Merchant through TGS and any third party service TGS may use. TGS may audit Merchant response times using various methods, including but not limited to, auto-dialers, call forwarding and pre-recorded calls. If TGS, in its sole discretion, determines Merchant response times or the quality of service provided to purchasers is unsatisfactory, TGS may terminate the Agreement and return the Amount Paid to purchasers for unredeemed Vouchers.  Merchant agrees that so long as an appointment or reservation is made to redeem a Voucher, or purchaser has made an attempt to make an appointment, before the Voucher’s Promotional Value Expiration Date, the Voucher will be honored for the Full Offer Value without restriction, even though the services may be provided after the Promotional Value Expiration Date.  In the event a purchaser seeks to schedule use of a Voucher prior to the Promotional Value Expiration Date and is denied by Merchant, or is unable to use the Voucher for any other reason prior to the Promotional Value Expiration Date, TGS may, upon purchaser request, extend the Promotional Value Expiration Date by sixty (60) days.

(d)           TGS is authorized to promote and sell up to the Maximum Number of Vouchers in multiple markets and on dates in its discretion. If Merchant elects to offer recurring month-to-month features, then TGS will promote and sell up to the Maximum Number of Vouchers for the initial feature, then promote and sell up to the Monthly Maximum Number of Vouchers for subsequent features. Merchant shall specify the Maximum Number of Vouchers and, if applicable, specify the Monthly Maximum Number of Vouchers, and may increase either number in its discretion.

(e)           TGS reserves the continuing right to reject, revise, or discontinue any Merchant Offering, at any time and for any reason in TGS’s sole discretion, and to terminate the Merchant Offering and to remove all references to the Merchant Offering and Voucher from TGS’ websites; and redirect or delete any URL used in connection with the Merchant Offering.  Merchant shall honor the Vouchers for the Merchant Offering through the date stated on the Voucher when the full offer value less the amount paid expires (“Promotional Value Expiration Date”). After the Promotional Value Expiration Date, MERCHANT AGREES TO REDEEM THE VOUCHER FOR THE AMOUNT PAID INDEFINITELY.

(f)            After the Promotional Value Expiration Date, Merchant must always allow the purchaser to redeem the Voucher for the amount Paid toward the Merchant Offering. If the goods and services constituting the Merchant Offering and stated on the Voucher are no longer available, the Merchant must always allow the purchaser to redeem the Voucher toward any goods or services then offered by the Merchant equivalent to at least the amount Paid.  If applicable, and if a purchaser redeems a Voucher for less than the amount Paid, the Merchant is responsible for handling any unredeemed value as required by applicable law.

(g)           Merchant agrees that in providing the Merchant Offering, Merchant will not inflate prices or impose any additional fees, charges, conditions or restrictions that contradict or are inconsistent with the terms stated on the Voucher, including the Fine Print. Unless disclosed in the Fine Print, Merchant further agrees not to impose different terms or a different cancellation policy than what is imposed on its non-TGS customers.

(h)           Merchant is responsible for all purchaser service in connection with the Merchant Offering and for supplying all goods and services stated in the Merchant Offering. Merchant is also responsible for any purchaser loyalty programs associated with the Merchant Offering.

(i)            If applicable, Merchant will hold the Merchant Offering for pick-up by each purchaser at the Redemption Site. The “Redemption Site” is the complete and accurate address provided by Merchant to TGS where purchasers are able to redeem the Voucher to pick-up the Merchant Offering. Merchant also agrees to provide TGS with the hours and dates of operation, complete with any exceptions, and a valid phone number for the Redemption Site. If any of the information related to a Redemption Site changes, Merchant agrees to notify TGS immediately of such change.

2. Advertising Program.  Merchant may elect upon reasonable approval of TGS to authorize TGS to promote and advertise Merchant’s business on TGS’ websites, mobile applications, or other platforms owned, controlled, or operated by TGS for an event that TGS assists in operating.  In the event Merchant elects to authorize TGS to promote and advertise Merchant’s business for an event, Merchant agrees to pay TGS a reasonable percentage set by TGS in the TGS Merchant Agreement of all gross sales made to customers who are driven to Merchant from the Event.

3. Payment.

(a)           Amounts retained by TGS from the proceeds of the Merchant Offering are compensation to TGS for marketing, promoting, and advertising the Merchant Offering and distributing the Vouchers on behalf of Merchant. Merchant shall retain the amount TGS shall remit to Merchant for Each Voucher, subject to the payment terms (“Remittance Amount”) in trust for the benefit of purchasers holding unredeemed Vouchers until Merchant delivers the Merchant Offering, refunds the holder of any unredeemed Voucher or escheats the amount required to a taxing authority, if applicable. The funds held in trust shall be returned to TGS upon demand for refunds to purchasers. TGS is authorized to review Merchant’s credit history, which may include a soft credit check.

(b)           TGS is authorized to initiate ACH credit transaction entries to Merchant’s depository account at the depository financial institution named in this Agreement or as otherwise provided to TGS by Merchant in writing (“Merchant Bank Account”). Only in the event of an error, TGS is authorized to initiate debit entry adjustments to the Merchant Bank Account to correct any error. Merchant hereby acknowledges that TGS’s origination of all ACH transactions to Merchant Bank Account must comply with provisions of U.S. law. ACH payments take up to five (5) business days to become available in the Merchant Bank Account after processing.

(c)           Merchant will not attempt to bill or collect reimbursement from any third-party payor, including but not limited to any insurer, health insurance plan, Medicare, Medicaid, or any other federal, state, provincial, territorial or local governmental program or entity (“Third-Party Payor”), for any of Merchant’s services. Merchant will accept the amounts received from TGS as payment in full for all services provided by Merchant delivered pursuant to the Merchant Offering. Merchant is solely responsible for complying with any contractual requirements imposed by its contracts with Third-Party Payors, including but not limited to requirements related to offering discounted services.

(d)           In the event TGS receives written notice of a validly issued state or federal tax levy relating to past-due taxes owed by Merchant, TGS may, in accordance with applicable law, deduct any such amounts from payments due to Merchant.

(e)           It is Merchant’s responsibility to determine what, if any, taxes apply to the payments Merchant makes or receives, and it is Merchant’s responsibility to collect, report and remit the correct tax to the appropriate tax authority. TGS is not responsible for determining whether taxes apply to Merchant’s transaction with either purchasers or TGS, or for collecting, reporting or remitting any taxes arising from any transaction with or by Merchant and purchaser. Merchant may be asked to provide TGS with a valid Tax Identification Number for tax reporting purposes. An IRS Form 1099 may be issued in Merchant’s name for the value of payments made. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, Merchant shall be, and will remain, registered for sales, use and other similar tax collection purposes in all states and localities in which Merchant is required to be so registered in connection with the Merchant Offering and pursuant to the terms and redemption of the Voucher, and shall be responsible for paying any and all sales, use or any other taxes related to the Merchant Offering or the goods and services.  Merchant bears sole financial responsibility for any and all sales, use, excise, general, GST, or other similar taxes, including any interest penalties and additions related thereto, imposed on or arising from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement between TGS and Merchant (“Transaction Taxes”), if any. TGS shall apply the applicable Transaction Tax to the amounts it retains and/or other fees remitted to TGS pursuant this Agreement. Transaction Taxes are calculated using the Merchant’s billing address and will be included on invoices. Tax rates are subject to change. If applied, Transaction Taxes will be calculated at the time of each payment using the rates in effect under current law.  TGS may be required by tax authorities to withhold taxes on behalf of Merchant. TGS reserves the right to deduct any such taxes from amounts due to Merchant and to remit them to the appropriate tax authority. TGS may also be required to report the withholding tax payments to the tax authorities. TGS shall provide evidence of payment of withholding taxes to Merchant no later than 60 days after payment of the withholding taxes.

(f)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, TGS will have no obligation to advance amounts that have been paid to TGS by a purchaser until Merchant has complied with Merchant’s obligations under this Agreement. If TGS reasonably believes that Merchant has breached any provision of this Agreement, TGS may offset, delay, withhold, or suspend future payments to Merchant, in TGS’s sole discretion. In addition, if Merchant is unwilling to, or in TGS’s reasonable discretion appears unable to, perform its obligations under this Agreement, TGS is authorized to offset, delay, withhold, or suspend future payments to Merchant in addition to such other remedies as may be available under this Agreement or at law, to secure payment from Merchant for any refunds and/or other amounts payable by Merchant under this Agreement.

4. Customer Data Restrictions.

(a)           “Customer Data” means all identifiable information about purchasers generated or collected by TGS or Merchant, including, but not limited to, purchasers’ name, shipping addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, purchaser preferences and tendencies, and financial transaction data.

(b)           Merchant shall use Customer Data only to fulfill its redemption obligations in connection with the Merchant Offering as authorized by this Agreement. Merchant expressly agrees that any Customer Data shall be used only for this purpose (including, but not limited to, the redemption of Vouchers and provision of goods and services to purchasers), and not to enhance a file or list owned by Merchant, or any third party. Merchant represents, warrants and covenants that it will not resell, broker or otherwise disclose any Customer Data to any third party, in whole or in part, for any purpose, unless required by applicable law. If Merchant engages any third party to facilitate its redemption obligations hereunder, Merchant shall ensure that such third party implements and complies with reasonable security measures in handling any Customer Data. If any Customer Data is collected directly by Merchant or a third party engaged by Merchant to facilitate its redemption obligations hereunder, Merchant shall ensure that it or such third party adopts, posts and processes the Customer Data in conformity with its posted privacy policy and all applicable laws.

(c)           As long as Merchant uses Customer Data in compliance with applicable law and Merchant’s posted privacy policy, restrictions stated in this Agreement on Merchant’s use of Customer Data do not apply to: (i) data from any purchaser who is already a customer of Merchant before the Effective Date, if such data was provided to Merchant by such purchaser independent of this Agreement or any transaction hereunder; or (ii) data supplied by a purchaser directly to Merchant who becomes a purchaser of Merchant in connection with such purchaser explicitly opting in to receive communications from Merchant.

(d)           Merchant shall immediately notify TGS if Merchant becomes aware of or suspects any unauthorized access to or use of Customer Data or any confidential information of TGS, and shall cooperate with TGS in the investigation of such breach and the mitigation of any damages. Merchant will bear all associated expenses incurred by TGS to comply with applicable laws (including, but not limited to, any data breach laws) or arising from any unauthorized access or acquisition of Customer Data while such data is in Merchant’s reasonable possession or control. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, Merchant shall, as directed by TGS, destroy or return to TGS all the Customer Data in Merchant’s or any agent of Merchant’s possession.

5. Term and Termination.  This Agreement will continue in effect until terminated by either party in accordance with this Section (“Term”). TGS is authorized to terminate this Agreement, at any time for any reason, upon written notice to Merchant. Merchant is authorized to terminate this Agreement upon seven (7) business days prior written notice to TGS. Termination of this Agreement will not in any way affect Merchant’s obligation to redeem any Voucher according to the terms of this Agreement, including the obligation to honor the Voucher for the Amount Paid after the Promotional Value Expiration Date. Provisions in this Agreement that are intended to survive termination will continue in full force and effect after the Term.

6. Compliance with Gift Card, Gift Certificate, and Abandoned Property Laws.  Merchant agrees to ensure that the Vouchers comply with all laws that govern vouchers, gift cards, coupons, and gift certificates, including but not limited to the United States Credit CARD Act of 2009 (if applicable) and any laws governing the imposition of expiration dates, service charges or dormancy fees and all Fine Print related to the Merchant Offering stated on the Voucher. Merchant is solely responsible for compliance with any applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property laws. Upon written request from Merchant, but only when required, TGS will provide Merchant with information in TGS’s possession that the Merchant needs to comply with its obligations under this Agreement.

7. Marketing.  TGS and its business partners may communicate with Merchant with regard to products, promotions, and other services that may be of interest to Merchant. This may include email or other communications. TGS may also solicit Merchant’s opinion for market research purposes.
