Users located outside of the country of Canada agree and certify that, as of the date of accepting these Terms of Service, they are not residents of Canada for the purpose of the Excise Tax Act (Canada) and that they are not registered under the Excise Tax Act (Canada). If a user’s residence changes or they become registered under the Excise Tax Act (Canada), that user agrees, within fifteen (15) days, to notify NFC of this change. For the case of organizations, as of the date of accepting these Terms of Service, users registering on behalf of an organization agree that they are an authorized individual of the organization, under its representative law, and this authorized user certifies that the organization is neither a resident of Canada for the purpose of the Excise Tax Act (Canada), nor is registered under the Excise Tax Act (Canada).

13. Information for Contributors for Publicly Available Content

All users, contributing to publicly available content, are required to grant broad permission to the general public to re-distribute and re-use their contributions freely, as long as the use is attributed and the same freedom to re-use and re-distribute applies to any derivative works. As an author, you agree to be attributed in any of the following manners: (a) through a hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article or articles you contributed to; (b) through a hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy of the article which is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on this website; or (c) through a list of all authors. (Any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions.) If you import text under a compatible license which requires attribution, you must, in a reasonable manner, credit the author(s). Where such credit is commonly given through page histories (such as Wikimedia-internal copying), it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the text. Regardless of the license, the text you import may be rejected if the required attribution is deemed too intrusive.

The provisions of paragraph 13 shall apply to any action at law, in equity, or arbitration: (a) NFC’s total liability, if any, with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement (including but not limited to liability arising out of contact, tort, strict liability, breach of warranty, or otherwise), is limited to charges collected by NFC under this Agreement in the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding to the initial act, injury, or occurrence that gave rise to the liability; (b) NFC shall not be liable for any loss of profits or revenue, special, punitive, incidental, or consequential damages in any action arising out of the subject matter of this Agreement, specifically including but not limited to loss or corruption of customer data, whether or not foreseeable and even if NFC has been advised or had previous knowledge of the possibility of such damages; (c) NFC shall not be liable for failure to perform due to reasons of force majeure, including but not limited to, acts of God, the public enemy, any government or agency thereof, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, work stoppages, freight embargos, severe weather, differences with workmen, restrictions imposed by governmental agencies, war, hostilities, riot, rebellion, delay in or lack of transportation facilities, inability to secure materials, power failure or fluctuation, the inability of any entity to connect to the Internet, or any other reason beyond the control of NFC; (d) NFC is not liable in whole or in part for a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty of any third party that Keela may use for the purposes of, but not limited to, APIs, plug-ins, or integrations; (e) NFC is not liable for any fraud, penalties, or any misleading of donors, users, government agencies, or the general public about an organization’s charity, nonprofit, 501(c)(3) or other tax-exempt status. We merely provide a service to users and organizations, and take no responsibility in any funds that are processed through Keela or any NFC platform; (f) If your non-identifiable data are used for research purposes, then the limitation of liability and indemnity clauses contained within this Terms of Service Agreement are waived with respect to any harms suffered or liabilities incurred as a result of any research activities; (g) Any proceeding to resolve or litigate any dispute in any forum relating to this Agreement shall be conducted solely on an individual basis.

KeelaPay

These Product-Specific Terms for KeelaPay (the “KeelaPay Terms“) are additional terms subject to the Networks for Change Inc. (“NFC” or “Keela”) Terms of Service made available at https://www.keela.co/terms-of-service (the “Terms of Service”) and apply to NFC’s KeelaPay proprietary solution made available through the Site and/or any Keela mobile application (the “KeelaPay Service”).  Access to KeelaPay is provided solely in accordance with, and subject to these KeelaPay Terms, the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and any other additional terms of NFC. Capitalized terms used in these KeelaPay Terms and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings provided in the Terms of Service.

This is a legally enforceable contract. Everyone using KeelaPay, including but not limited to customers, prospects, trial customers, or any person, organization, company, non-profit, or other entity, registered or unregistered, submits to and agrees to be bound by these KeelaPay Terms, the Terms of Service, the Privacy Policy, and any other applicable additional terms.  If you do not agree to all such terms, please do not access or use KeelaPay.  

From time to time, Keela may modify these KeelaPay Terms in the same manner in which the Term of Service may be modified in accordance with the terms thereof. 

1. SUMMARY OF KEELAPAY SERVICE

1.1 Overview

KeelaPay allows you to accept payments via credit card, debit card, ACH, and a variety of other payment applications including, but not limited to, processing cards bearing the trademarks of Visa®, MasterCard®, Discover®, and American Express® and utilizing the payment applications from Apple Pay®, Google Pay® and other payment applications (collectively, the “Networks”). KeelaPay will collect, transmit, and store data for payment processing with third-party payment gateway services providers (“Payment Gateways”) and payment processors (“Payment Processors”). We will use your constituents’ and/or customers’ (“Constituents”) customer and online financial transaction data (“Transaction Data“) only in the provisioning of KeelaPay; provided, however, we may use the Transaction Data in an aggregate form combined with the data of other Keela clients for statistical analysis and reporting. Keela is not a depository institution and does not offer banking services or Money Service Business services as these terms are defined by the United States Department of Treasury, the Bank of Canada, or other similar governmental or regulator bodies.  You are not a third party beneficiary under, nor do you have any rights under, our contracts with third parties including Payment Gateways, Payment Processors, Networks, or banks.

1.2 Processing Agreement.  

Keela processes payments you receive from your donors, members, constituents, or other contacts via KeelaPay. In order to serve in this role, we must enter into agreements with Networks, Payment Processors, Payment Gateways, and banks. These third parties require customers of KeelaPay to enter into a Sub-Merchant Agreement with the Payment Processor(s) of record (each, a “Sub-Merchant Agreement”) and use of KeelaPay requires your acceptance of these relevant Sub-Merchant Agreements. As of the date of these KeelaPay Terms, Keela uses Payrix Solutions, as a Payment Processor and its Sub-Merchant Agreement is located at (https://portal.payrix.com/terms).  Keela also uses Apple Pay® Google Pay® as payment methods, and their terms and conditions can be found at https://payments.developers.google.com/terms/sellertos and https://developer.apple.com/apple-pay/terms/apple-pay-web/. By accepting these KeelaPay Terms and using KeelaPay, you acknowledge and agree that you have read and accepted, and agree to be bound by and comply with, such applicable Sub-Merchant Agreement and payment method terms, as may be amended from time to time without prior notice to you. We may change, replace, or terminate the services of any Payment Gateway and/or Payment Processor upon notice to you. In the event of replacement of a Payment Gateway and/or Payment Processor, or the addition of a payment method, you understand and agree that you may be required to execute additional terms and conditions associated with such a replacement. You acknowledge and agree that your continued use of KeelaPay constitutes your agreement to such additional terms and conditions and you will be subject to such revised terms. You further understand and agree that any breach by you of any Sub-Merchant Agreement or any agreement with any Payment Gateway, Payment Processor, payment method or the like shall be deemed to be a breach by you of these KeelaPay Terms.
