1. Introduction

The Spotlight POS services, websites and software including mobile applications (collectively, the "Service" or “Spotlight”) are provided to you, the merchant (“Merchant”, “you”, or “your”), by Spotlight POS (collectively "we", "us", "our", or "Spotlight").

Your use of the Service is subject to and governed by this Spotlight Terms and Conditions Merchant Agreement ("Merchant Agreement") and the terms of any Spotlight Subscription Order Form (“Order Form”) that you entered that specifically references into this Merchant Agreement (collectively, the “Agreement”). We reserve the right to update and change the terms of this Agreement from time to time in our sole discretion. We will provide you with notice by updating this page and indicating the date of the update, so please check this page frequently for updates and changes. We also may send you notice via e-mail to the address associated with your Account. You agree you will be bound by the terms fourteen (14) days after notice, and your continued use of the service fourteen (14) days after notice shall constitute acceptance of the new terms by you going forward. You expressly agree that this notice protocol is sufficient and adequate for purposes of providing you notice of the revisions to this Agreement. If you refuse to be bound by the new terms, we reserve the right to terminate your Account and access to the Services in accordance with the termination provisions in Section 5. Any updates or changes made to this Agreement will not apply to you to the extent that: (1) the changes concern matters which are the subject of an actual dispute between you and Spotlight as of the date the changes take effect; and (2) we have actual notice of the dispute as of the date the changes take effect. The changes will not impact transactions that precede the date of the update.

2. Account Creation, Activation and Security

You must create and activate a subscription account with Spotlight to receive the Service (“Account”). In order to create an Account, you must register and maintain a valid payment card or bank account to pay the monthly fee for the Service and provide information about your business, any authorized employees and other users, and any other data elements required by Spotlight. Once you have an established Account, you are solely responsible for your configuration and use of the Service.

You are responsible for maintaining control over access to your Account, including the confidentiality of your Account login and password, and are responsible for all activities that occur on or through your Account, whether authorized by you or not. If you create an Account as an individual acting as a representative of a corporation or other legal entity which wishes to use the Service, then you represent and agree that you have the authority to accept the Agreement on behalf of such corporation or other legal entity, and that all provisions of the Agreement will bind that corporation or other legal entity as if it were named in place of you.

You may establish subordinate accounts (“Sub-Accounts”) for the benefit of authorized personnel – such as employees or independent contractors. Sub-Accounts will be attached to and associated with your Account. You acknowledge and agree that Spotlight offers this feature purely as a convenience to you, and that you are exclusively responsible for ensuring that any person permitted to access a Sub-Account will do so only on your behalf (not, for example, for the person’s own purposes or the benefit of third parties) and that such person fully complies with this Agreement. You are fully responsible for managing access to, and security and confidentiality of such Sub-Accounts and agree to immediately notify Spotlight of any unauthorized use of such Sub-Accounts or any other breaches of your Account’s security.

The Service is billed in advance on a monthly basis and is non-refundable. There will be no refunds or credits for partial months of service, or refunds for months unused with an open account. In order to treat everyone equally, no exceptions will be made.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU ASSUME ALL LEGAL AND FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ACTIVITY THAT OCCURS UNDER OR THOUGH YOUR ACCOUNT, INCLUDING ANY SUB-ACCOUNTS. Spotlight shall not be liable to you or to any other party for any losses or damages of any kind that result from: (1) your establishment and/or use of Accounts or Sub-Accounts; (2) for any activity or inactivity that occurs under any such Sub-Accounts attached to your Account, OR (3) your Account management, mismanagement, or lack of management of any and all Sub-Accounts attached to your Account.

3. Offline Mode

You must maintain an Internet connection ("Connection") to operate your Service and generally complete electronic transactions through your Service. If you temporarily lose your Connection, the Service may contain a feature that allows you to temporarily operate certain elements of the Service and maintain data relating thereto, to process the orders cloud sync, once your Connection is restored ("Offline Mode"). However, Offline mode contains inherent limitations. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR AND ASSUME ALL LEGAL AND FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ACTIVITY THAT OCCURS DURING OFFLINE MODE, INCLUDING SERVICES, OPERATIONS, OR DATA IN CONNECTION WITH OFFLINE MODE THAT ARE INTERRUPTED, DAMAGED, OR LOST, REGARDLESS FOR THE REASON FOR, OR TIME OF, SUCH EVENT.

4.Third Party Equipment and Services

Spotlight’s core service functionality under this Agreement is to deliver the Service, which may require you to integrate third party services, software, and devices (“Third Party Services”) to more robustly capitalize on the Service’s functionality. Specifically, in order to use the Service, you must supply certain equipment. You must have at least: (1) at least one Apple iPad®, iPod® Touch and iPhone® running the iOS version specified by Spotlight, (2) a working broadband Internet connection, (3) a secure wireless network available in all places within the venue where a Service-related device (including terminals as well as peripheral devices, such as any printers) will be used, and (4) an active Account. Spotlight prohibits and disclaims the use of the Service on any device that is modified contrary to the manufacturer’s software or hardware guidelines and your use of any such modified device constitutes a violation of this Agreement and grounds for us to terminate your Account.

5. Monthly Service Fee; Termination

You agree to pay the applicable monthly fees listed in your Agreement. The Fees and any additional charges Spotlight levies under this Agreement may be deducted from any remittance you receive or are entitled to receive from Spotlight under the Agreement, charged to your credit card on file, deducted from your bank account on file, or otherwise paid or offset in connection with your Account. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, your first Fees will be charged to you no later than thirty (30) days after you enter into this Agreement. Subject to this Agreement, we reserve the right to change our Fees, the payment schedule, and collection method in our sole and absolute discretion. If we change our Fees, billing schedule, or collection methods, we will notify you through your Account thirty (30) days in advance of the change (“Fees Change Notice Period”). If you do not agree to the Fees change, you must promptly close your Account and discontinue use of the Service prior to the last day of the Fees Change Notice Period. By continuing to use the Service after the last day of the Fees Change Notice Period, you accept the new Fees structure in its entirety.

If you created an Account on a free-trial basis and did not convert to a paid Account, we will suspend your Account and notify you by sending an email to your registered email address. If you do not respond to our notice within fifteen (15) days, (1) we will automatically close your Account; and (2) we may, but are not required to, delete information associated with the Account;

This Agreement becomes effective and binding on you when you create an Account. You may voluntarily terminate your Account at any time through the Account website or by contacting customer service at support@spotlightpos.com. You acknowledge and agree that if you terminate your Account before the end of a 30-day subscription cycle, or such subscription cycle as may apply, you will still be charged for the entire cycle. You acknowledge and agree that Spotlight shall not be obligated to issue any refunds, whether full, prorated, or otherwise, if you voluntarily terminate your Account before the end of a subscription cycle, regardless of whether you notify Spotlight.

You acknowledge and agree that Spotlight may terminate your access to the Service and your Account (including all attached Sub-Accounts): (a) if you breach or violate of any provision of this Agreement; (b) upon a request by law enforcement or other government agency; (c) upon your request to terminate your Account; (d) upon our decision to discontinue or materially modify all or any part of the Service or Payments; (e) upon the occurrence of technical or security issues as identified in Spotlight’s sole discretion; (f) if your use of the Service, whether through your Account or any Sub-Account or otherwise, is fraudulent or illegal; (g) for your non-payment of your Fees; (h) upon your violation of any other agreements you have with Spotlight; (i) for convenience upon sixty (60) days written notice; and/or (j) if we believe, in our sole discretion, that your continued use of the Service interferes with, is harmful to, or otherwise inconsistent with our business. If we terminate your access to the Service and/or your Account, we may, without limitation: (w) delete your Account and terminate your access to the Service and all information and features associated with your Account, unless otherwise agreed to in writing; (x) delete your password and all related information, files, and content associated with or inside your Account (or any part thereof); and (y) prohibit you from accessing the Service in the future through an alternative Account or otherwise. EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO YOUR VOLUNTARY TERMINATION OF YOUR ACCOUNT, SPOTLIGHT SHALL MAKE ALL TERMINATION DECISIONS IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION AND SHALL IN NO EVENT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY TERMINATION OF YOUR ACCOUNT OR ACCESS TO THE SERVICE, INFORMATION IN OR ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR ACCOUNT OR ANY SUB-ACCOUNT, OR FOR ANY LOSSES OR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND RESULTING THEREFROM.
