While ABC will maintain the security of its environment, Customer expressly acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining its own security measures to protect Customer’s hardware, systems, and applications that interact with the Software. While ABC and/or ABC Affiliates may offer many optional features to increase data security, ABC and/or ABC Affiliates are unable to support customer-specific privacy and security requirements, since the platform is not built or customized on a per-customer basis.

  1. Intellectual Property Rights.

6.1 ABC Intellectual Property. Customer acknowledges and agrees that ABC owns all rights to, title to, and interests in the Services, the Software, the Documentation, the ABC Marks and any associated Intellectual Property rights. Customer will not use ABC Marks without prior written consent from ABC. Further, Customer will not remove, delete, alter, or obscure any ABC Marks, specifications, warranties, or disclaimers, or any copyright, patent, or other Intellectual Property or proprietary rights notices or labelling from any Documentation, including any copy thereof, or other product made available under this Agreement to Customer.

6.2 Customer Data. ABC acknowledges and agrees that, as between ABC and Customer, Customer owns all rights in, title to, and interests in Customer Data. Customer hereby grants to ABC a non-exclusive, worldwide, and royalty-free license, during the Term, to use, reproduce, distribute, publicly perform and display, and make derivative works of the Customer Data solely to the extent necessary for ABC to deliver the Services to Customer. ABC may sublicense any of the foregoing rights to ABC Affiliates and/or other third parties solely to the extent necessary to facilitate delivery of the Services by ABC to Customer through such ABC Affiliates and/or other third parties.

6.3 Feedback. Customer hereby grants and ABC and the ABC Affiliates now accept a transferable worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty free, perpetual, and irrevocable license to use or incorporate into any Software or Service any Feedback (including any associated Intellectual Property rights) provided by Customer to ABC.

  1. Confidential Information.

7.1 Disclosure of Confidential Information. Neither Party will disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information except as authorized by the disclosing Party in writing, as otherwise authorized in this Agreement, or if disclosure is required by operation of law. The Parties agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, information is not confidential if the information:

(e) is publicly available or becomes publicly available through no action or fault of the recipient Party;

(f) was already in the recipient Party’s possession or known to the recipient Party prior to being disclosed or provided to the recipient Party by or on behalf of the other party, provided, that, the source of such information or material was not bound by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to the non-disclosing Party or any other party with respect thereto;

(g) was or is obtained by the recipient Party from a third-party, provided, that, such third-party was not bound by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to the non-disclosing Party or any other party with respect to such information or material; or

(h) is independently developed by the recipient Party without reference to the information.

7.2 Use of Confidential Information.  Each Party will: (i) hold the other Party’s Confidential Information in confidence and use reasonable care to protect the same; (ii) restrict disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information to those of its employees, agents, contractors, and affiliates with a need to know such information and who are under a duty of confidentiality respecting the protection of Confidential Information, which is substantially similar to the confidentiality obligations of this Agreement; (iii) use the Confidential Information solely for the purpose of enhancing services related to athletics facilities including enhancing the Software and/or the Services.

7.3 Misuse of Confidential Information. Each Party agrees that breach of this Section 6 (Confidential Information) may cause the other Party irreparable injury, for which monetary damages will not provide adequate compensation, and that in addition to any other remedies available at law and in equity, each Party will be entitled to seek injunctive relief against such breach or threatened breach, without proving actual damage or posting a bond or other security.

7.4 Confidentiality Term.  Except for the ABC Confidential Information and Customer Data, which the Parties will treat as confidential in accordance with this Section 6 (Confidential Information) for as long as such items constitute “Confidential Information,” the Parties will treat each other item of Confidential Information received hereunder in accordance with this Section 6 (Confidential Information) for a period of five (5) years from the date of first disclosure of each such other item of Confidential Information.

  1. Services – General.

8.1 Performance. ABC will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Services to Customer.

8.2 Delegation and Subcontracting. Customer acknowledges that ABC uses the services of ABC Affiliates and/or third-party subcontractors, including third-party data centers, to provide Customer with access to the Software and to otherwise provide the Services. Customer agrees that ABC may delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement and/or subcontract any of its tasks under this Agreement to ABC Affiliates and/or other third parties for the purpose of facilitating the provision of Services to Customer.

8.3 Authority and Interpleader. In the event Customer wishes to change its agent dealing with ABC or to change the method or manner of receiving Net Receipts from ABC (in the event that Customer receives ABC IGNITE Core Services from ABC), Customer will notify ABC of such change in a writing accompanied by evidence satisfactory to ABC of the corporate approval of such change and the authority of the new agent. In the event ABC cannot determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, the authority of a person purporting to be authorized to act on behalf of Customer, ABC may, in its sole and absolute discretion, commence an action for interpleader in a court of competent jurisdiction and ABC will be released from any liability for the amount so interplead and Customer will indemnify, defend and hold ABC harmless from and against any cost or expense incurred in connection with such action.

8.4 Third-Party Software. Customer may receive access to third-party programs through the Services, Software, or both or third-party programs may be bundled with the Services, the Software, or both. These third-party software programs are governed by their own service or license terms, which may include open source or free software licenses, and those terms will prevail over this Agreement as to Customer’s use of the third-party programs. Nothing in this Agreement limits Customer or Authorized Users’ rights under, or grants Customer and Authorized Users rights that supersede, the terms of any such third-party program. Specifically, with respect to the ABC IGNITE CORE Services, Customer understands that any sales or other tax services are currently offered through third-party software programs, and that ABC disclaims any responsibility for the same, and any such responsibility or liability shall solely be that of the provider of the third-party software program provider under their separate terms and conditions.  Should Customer who receive the ABC IGNITE CORE Services elect to not use any integrated third -party software programs for sales or other tax services, Customer expressly agrees that it is solely responsible for confirming, submitting, updating, and otherwise maintaining its chosen tax rate(s) in the ABC IGNITE CORE Services, and ABC shall not be liable or responsible for the same in any manner.

8.5 Integration with Non-ABC Applications. The Services may contain features designed to interoperate with Software or Services not provided by ABC or its Affiliates.  To use such features, Customer may be required to obtain access to such applications from their providers, and may be required to grant ABC access to your account(s) on such application.  ABC cannot guarantee the continued availability of such features, and may cease providing them without entitling Customer to any refund, credit, or other compensation, if for example and without limitation, the provider of the application ceases to make the application available for interoperation with the Software or Services in a manner acceptable to ABC.

  1. ABC IGNITE CORE Services. If Customer has opted to receive ABC IGNITE Core Services as specified in an Order Form, Customer agrees to the following additional terms and conditions that govern specific aspects of the ABC IGNITE Core Services as specified in this Section 9 (ABC IGNITE Core Services). This Section 9 does not apply to Customers that have not elected to receive ABC IGNITE Core Services.

9.1 Merchant and Bank Account Set-Up. Customer hereby appoints ABC to act as its attorney-in-fact as follows:

(a) to establish and maintain a bank account and credit card processing merchant accounts on Customer’s behalf with such banks and credit card processors as ABC may designate;

(b) to receive payment due from Members under Membership Agreements, at least as described in Section 9.2 (Billing Services) below;

(c) to receive sales data from Customer and tender it for processing; and

(d) in connection with such accounts and this Agreement, to execute any and all documents and take any and all other actions, on behalf of Customer, that ABC deems necessary or appropriate without further authorization or consent of Customer. Such accounts will be maintained for the purpose of receiving and accepting proceeds of payment transactions processed pursuant to this Agreement and other related activity, including adjustments, chargebacks, returns and payment of fees, all on Customer’s behalf. Customer hereby irrevocably directs such bank to transfer, on each banking day, the closing balance of such account to a separate ABC account, as designated by ABC, to facilitate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Power of Attorney created hereby is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

9.2 Billing Services. ABC will provide the ABC IGNITE Core Services to Customer, as selected by Customer in an Order Form, with respect to all acceptable Membership Agreements that have been delivered to ABC from time to time under this Agreement. The ABC IGNITE Core Services, as selected by Customer in an Order Form, will be provided in accordance with ABC’s customary practices as modified by ABC from time to time. Upon receipt of an acceptable Membership Agreement or account information, both as determined by ABC in its reasonable discretion, and such Membership Agreement or account information becomes an active account on ABC’s billing system, ABC will collect and maintain account information pursuant to its customary practices as modified by ABC from time to time during the time ABC is actively collecting the account on behalf of the Customer. Customer will maintain a physical or digital copy of the Membership Agreement. Customer specifically authorizes the originating depository financial institution (“ODFI”) utilized by ABC to process ACH payments to originate ACH entries on behalf of Customer and ABC pursuant to this Agreement.

9.3 Remittance to Customer. Billing cycles will occur twice per month. The 1st through the 15th shall represent one billing cycle, while the 16th through the end of the month shall represent the other billing cycle. Net Receipts for each billing cycle will be remitted to the Customer by the 5th business day following the cycle cutoff. ABC will not be responsible for delay in remittance due to weekends, holidays or other conditions beyond the reasonable control of ABC. ABC may at its option and upon Customer’s request allow an early deposit of Available Collected Funds any business day of the month. ABC will use commercially reasonable efforts to post Available Collected Funds to Customer’s account one business day after their actual receipt. Where a Member has remitted payment to ABC, Member’s payment obligation to Customer in relation to such payment will be extinguished, and Customer will not attempt to hold Member liable for ABC’s non-remittance to Customer.

9.4 Acceptable Accounts. Only current Membership Agreements under which the Member is not in default or past due for any amount will be acceptable Membership Agreements under this Agreement. If, in the sole discretion of ABC, a past due account becomes uncollectible, Customer will be responsible for further collection of said account and ABC shall be released from any further responsibility with respect to such Membership Agreement.

9.5 Cancellation of Member Accounts. Customer may cancel the Membership Agreement of any Member, and such Membership Agreement will be removed from the active list and Customer will be notified. Cancellations will not be accepted from individual Members, only from Customer itself, unless prior authorization is received from Customer. In the event that ABC receives a dispute from a Member regarding such Member’s obligations under the Membership Agreement and ABC determines in the exercise of its reasonable discretion that cancellation of the Membership Agreement is the most efficient resolution of the matter, ABC may cancel that Membership Agreement without the consent of Customer provided ABC pays Customer the balance of any amounts that would have become due on such canceled Membership Agreement during the then-current term.

9.6 Legal Compliance. Customer hereby agrees to comply with, and be bound by, all Operating Rules of the National Automated Clearing House Association and all related Guidelines, as they may be amended from time to time, (the “NACHA Rules”) and all state, federal or local laws, rules, regulations or ordinances with respect to the operation of Customer. Customer will not initiate any automated clearinghouse entry that violates the NACHA Rules or such laws, rules, regulations or ordinances. Customer agrees that ABC and/or its Origination Depository Financial Institution (“ODFI”), has the right, at all reasonable times, to audit Customer’s operations to determine compliance with this Agreement and the NACHA Rules. In addition to any other rights and remedies available hereunder or pursuant to applicable law, ABC or the ODFI also have the right, at their respective options, to immediately terminate or suspend this Agreement for a breach of the NACHA Rules. ABC will only process ACH SEC Codes TEL, WEB, PPD, and CCD. Customer agrees that ABC may pass on any fines, penalties, fees, or other amounts imposed by the ODFI, any credit card companies, or other governing bodies arising from Customer’s acts or omissions. From time to time, Customer may request, and ABC may provide, forms (such as Membership Agreement templates) for the Customer’s use in connection with the operation of its fitness facility. ABC makes no representation or warranty whatsoever with respect to such forms, including without limitation, the compliance of such forms with any federal, state or local laws, rules or regulations. Customer understands and acknowledges that these forms are provided as a convenience only and the Customer remains solely responsible for consulting its own legal advisors in connection with the compliance of such forms with applicable law. Customer acknowledges and agrees that it is the author and drafter of such Membership Agreements.

9.7 WorldPay Addendum. By entering this Agreement, Customer agree to be bound by the WorldPay Billing Services Addendum attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

9.8 Merchant Services Agreement. At the request of ABC, Customer shall execute the Merchant Services Agreement for Sub-Merchants, a form of which is attached hereto as “Exhibit A”.

9.9 Termination of ABC IGNITE CoreServices.  ABC IGNITE Core Services are terminable on thirty (30) days’ prior written notice unless otherwise specified in an Order Form.  If an Order Form provides for a term for ABC IGNITE Core Services other than month to month and if Customer elects to terminate the ABC IGNITE Core Services prior to the timeframe specified in an Order Form, then Customer will remit an early termination fee to ABC on the date on which Customer provides written notice of termination to ABC and which shall be calculated as100% of the fees that ABC would have received if this Agreement or the Order Form, as applicable, had remained in effect through the expiration of its then current Term (with the amount of each remaining month’s fee being equal to the average monthly fee charged during the immediately preceding six (6) month period) plus any other amounts stated on the Order Form as being part of the early termination fee. Further, if ABC has provided any hardware to Customer, and this Agreement is terminated prior to a date on which ABC has been fully remunerated by Customer for any such provided hardware, then, within twenty four (24) hours of the termination date of this Agreement (in whole or in part), Customer will pay ABC for any outstanding amounts owed to ABC for such provided hardware, which ABC may withhold or offset from amounts payable to Customer by ABC, or ABC may debit Customer’s account, which Customer hereby authorizes.

9.10 Payment for ABC IGNITE CORE Services. Customer agrees that, with respect to ABC IGNITE Core Services selected by Customer as specified in an Order Form:

(a) the Fees and other amounts collected by ABC on behalf of the Customer, such as pass-through costs and other amounts due to ABC or any ABC Affiliates from Customer pursuant to this or any other agreement will be deducted and retained by ABC from the amount collected on behalf of the Customer. The Fees apply to all payments on active Membership Agreements under service by ABC, whether payments are made to ABC or directly to the Customer. ABC reserves the right, from time to time, to change the Fees and charges provided for in an Order Form and/or elsewhere in this Agreement for various reasons, including upon a change in the Customer’s average monthly transaction volume, changes in Customer’s late and service fee policies, or changes in the cost of providing payment processing services to the Customer.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, to the extent Customer is a Canadian entity, Customer shall receive a minimum of ninety (90) days’ notice of any fee increase or the introduction of a new fee related to any credit or debit card transactions.  In the event of such fee increase, new fee, or a reduction in applicable interchange rates that is not passed on to Customer, Customer shall have the right to terminate the ABC IGNITE CORE Services for convenience, without penalty by providing ABC written notice prior to the end of such ninety (90) day period. Customer grants ABC the right(s) to retain all late and service fees.  Moreover, Customer’s late and service fees must be uniformly applied to all of Customer’s Members.

(b) to secure the prompt and faithful performance of its obligation hereunder, subject to any prior, perfected interests or the subsequent refinancing of same even for a greater amount, Customer hereby grants to ABC a first and prior security interest in, and lien on, all accounts (including accounts receivable and the Reserve Account (as defined below)), payment intangibles, Membership Agreements and cash and noncash proceeds which may accrue to Customer, or be derived from, the ownership and/or operation of Customer’s health clubs, including without limitation, all fees, dues, income, rents, issues, profits, earnings, receipts, royalties and revenues therefrom; and all amendments and supplements to and renewals and extensions of any and all of the foregoing, whether now existing or hereafter entered into and all replacements, substitutions, products and proceeds from any and all of the foregoing. Customer agrees to execute any and all documents that ABC deems necessary to perfect the foregoing security interest and to otherwise cooperate with ABC, at ABC’s expense, to perfect the foregoing security interest.

9.11 Membership Agreements.  Customer acknowledges that ABC may store Membership Agreements in the ABC Systems for the purpose of administering the Services.  Customer acknowledges and agrees that ABC is not responsible for any loss of any such Membership Agreements that may be stored in the ABC Systems, and Customer is solely responsible for maintaining copies of the Membership Agreements.

All claims must be submitted to ABC in writing within thirty (30) days from the date on which the Fees are charged for those Services. Customer waives the right to dispute any Fees or charges after such thirty (30) day period.

10.5 Taxes. All Fees are exclusive of taxes, and Customer must pay or reimburse ABC for all taxes arising out of transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(e) in addition to amounts that may be due under Sections 10.3(c) and/or 10.3(d), Customer will pay ABC any outstanding amounts owed to ABC for any terminated Services within thirty (30) day of the effective date of termination.

Upon receipt of Sub-merchant’s sales data for card transactions, Acquirer will process Sub-merchant’s sales data to facilitate the funds transfer between the various Associations and Sub-merchant. After Acquirer receives credit for such sales data, subject to the terms set forth herein, Acquirer will fund Sub-merchant, either directly to the Sub-merchant-Owned Designated Account or through Provider to an account designated by Provider (“Provider Designated Account”), at Acquirer’s discretion, for such card transactions. Sub-merchant agrees that the deposit of funds to the Provider Designated Account shall discharge Acquirer of its settlement obligation to Sub-merchant, and that any dispute regarding the receipt or amount of settlement shall be between Provider and Sub-merchant. Acquirer will debit the Provider Designated Account for funds owed to Acquirer as a result of the Services provided hereunder, provided that Acquirer may also debit Sub-merchant’s designated demand deposit account (“Sub-merchant-Owned Designated Account”) upon receipt of such account information from Sub-merchant or Provider, or if Acquirer deposits settlement funds into the Sub-merchant-Owned Designated Account. Further, if a cardholder disputes a transaction, if a transaction is charged back for any reason, or if Acquirer reasonably believes a transaction is unauthorized or otherwise unacceptable, the amount of such transaction may be charged back and debited from Sub-merchant or Provider.
  2. Term and Termination. Sub-Merchant agrees upon accessing the Services, this Agreement shall be binding upon Sub-merchant. The term of this Agreement shall begin, and the terms of the Agreement shall be deemed accepted and binding upon Acquirer, on the date Acquirer accepts this Agreement by issuing a merchant identification number, and shall be coterminous with Provider’s agreement with Sub-merchant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Acquirer may immediately cease providing Services and/or terminate this Agreement without notice if (i) Sub-merchant or Provider fails to pay any amount to Acquirer when due, (ii) in Acquirer’s opinion, provision of a service to Sub-merchant or Provider may be a violation of the Operating Regulations or any Laws, (iii) Acquirer believes that Sub-merchant has violated or is likely to violate the Operating Regulations or the Laws, (iv) Acquirer determines Sub-merchant poses a financial or regulatory risk to Acquirer, Member Bank, or an Association, (v) Acquirer’s agreement with Provider terminates, (vi) any Association de-registers Provider, (vii) Acquirer ceases to be a member of the Associations or fails to have the required licenses, or (viii) Acquirer is required to do so by Member Bank or any of the Associations.
  3. Limits of Liability. Sub-merchant agrees to provide Acquirer, via a communication with Provider, with written notice of any alleged breach by Acquirer of this Agreement, which notice will specifically detail such alleged breach, within thirty (30) days of the date on which the alleged breach first occurred. Failure to so provide notice shall be deemed an acceptance by Sub-merchant and a waiver of any and all rights to dispute such breach. EXCEPT FOR THOSE EXPRESS WARRANTIES MADE IN THIS AGREEMENT, ACQUIRER DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Sub-merchant’s sole and exclusive remedy for any and all claims against Acquirer arising out of or in any way related to the transactions contemplated herein shall be termination of this Agreement. In the event that Sub-merchant has any claim arising in connection with the Services, rights, or obligations defined in this Agreement, Sub-merchant shall proceed against Provider and not against Acquirer, unless otherwise specifically set forth in the Operating Regulations. In no event shall Acquirer have any liability to Submerchant with respect to this Agreement or the Services. Sub-merchant acknowledges Acquirer is only providing this Agreement to assist in Provider’s processing relationship with Sub-merchant, that Acquirer is not liable for any action or failure to act by Provider, and that Acquirer shall have no liability whatsoever in connection with any products or services provided to Sub-merchant by Provider. If Provider is unable to provide its services to Sub-merchant in connection with this Agreement and Acquirer elects to provide those services directly, Sub-merchant acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this Agreement will no longer apply and the terms of Acquirer’s then-current Bank Card Merchant Agreement, which would be provided to Sub-merchant upon request, will govern Acquirer’s relationship with Sub-merchant. If Provider subsequently provides its services to Sub-merchant in connection with this Agreement, Acquirer will cease to provide such services after receipt of notice from Provider and this Agreement will govern Acquirer’s relationship with Sub-merchant.
  4. Miscellaneous. This Agreement is entered into, governed by, and construed pursuant to the laws of the State of Ohio without regard to conflicts of law provisions. This Agreement may not be assigned by Sub-merchant without the prior written consent of Acquirer. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, transferees and assignees. This Agreement is for the benefit of, and may be enforced only by, Acquirer and Sub-merchant and is not for the benefit of, and may not be enforced by, any other party. Sub-merchant shall not disclose any Acquirer confidential information to any person or entity (other than to those employees or agents of Sub-merchant who participate directly in the performance of this Agreement and need access to such information, or, only to the extent strictly necessary, in response to a valid subpoena, court order, or Association requirement.) Acquirer may amend this Agreement upon notice to Sub-merchant in accordance with Acquirer’s standard operating procedure. An Association may audit or direct the audit of Sub-merchant at any time, and nothing herein shall limit an Association from limiting or terminating an agreement with Sub-merchant. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be illegal or invalid, such illegality or invalidity of that provision will not affect any of the remaining provisions and this Agreement will be construed as if such provision is not contained in the Agreement. “Member Bank” as used in this Agreement shall mean a member of VISA, Mastercard and/or Discover, as applicable, that provides sponsorship services in connection with this Agreement. As of the commencement of this Agreement, Member Bank shall be Fifth Third Bank, N. A., located in Cincinnati, OH, 45263. The Member Bank is a party to this Agreement. The Member Bank may be changed, and its rights and obligations assigned to another similarly situated bank by Acquirer at any time without notice to Sub-merchant.
