Merchant Agreement
This Merchant Agreement (“Agreement”) is a legal agreement between you (“you,” “your”) and Greenleaf Merchant Services, if you are a resident of the United States or Canada, or (ii) Greenleaf, or if you are resident of any other country, and in conjunction with the Privacy Policy, governs your use of the Register application and websites, software, programs, documentation, tools, internet-based services, components, and any updates (including software maintenance, service information, help content, bug fixes or maintenance releases) thereto, and other related products and services (together, the “Services”). Please read this Agreement, the Privacy Policy, carefully. To use the Services, you must accept all of the terms of this Agreement and the Privacy Policy.
By accepting these terms, you acknowledge that they constitute a legally binding contract between you and us (and, if relevant, any organisation on whose behalf you are acting). If you are acting on behalf of any organisation, you confirm that you have the requisite authority, power and right to fully bind that organisation. If you (or, if relevant, your organisation) do not agree to all of these terms (or if you do not have the right to bind your organisation), you are not permitted to access or use the Services, and you should not click to accept these terms, and you should not proceed further.
Terms Governing Use of the Service
1. Greenleaf Account Registration
You must open an account with Greenleaf (a “Greenleaf Account”) to use the Services. Our registration process will ask you for information including your name and other personal information. You must provide accurate and complete information in response to our questions. You must complete this and other processes to access the Services. You must also keep the information that you provide up-to-date. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate the Greenleaf Account of anyone who provides inaccurate, untrue, or incomplete information, uses the Greenleaf Account fraudulently or who fails to comply with the account registration requirements.
2. Name
You must use your and your business’s (if any) true and accurate name when signing up for a Greenleaf Account.
3. Software
The software associated with mobile and website applications is part of the Services. Among other things, the software enables you to access and use the Services. You must install any and all software updates to continue to use the Services.
4. Verification and Inspection
If your request to open a Greenleaf Account is approved, Greenleaf may request additional information from you at any time.
5. Compatible Mobile Devices and Third Party Carriers
Your Greenleaf Account permits you to account for cash and/or payment card transactions on compatible mobile devices. Devices modified contrary to the manufacturer’s software or hardware guidelines, including but not limited to those with disabled hardware or software controls—sometimes referred to as “jail broken”—are not compatible mobile devices. You acknowledge that the use of a modified device to use the Services is expressly prohibited, constitutes a violation of the terms of this Agreement, and is grounds for termination of your Greenleaf Account. Greenleaf does not warrant that the Services will be compatible with your mobile device or third party carrier.
Your use of the Services will be subject to the Greenleaf Mobile Application Licence Agreement (including any additional terms from third party platform providers included within the Greenleaf Mobile Application Licence Agreement), the terms of your agreements with your mobile device manufacturer and your carrier.
6. Your Greenleaf Account
You must use the Services in compliance with all applicable laws. You may not export the Services directly or indirectly, and you acknowledge that the Services may be subject to export restrictions imposed by US law, including US Export Administration Regulations (15 C.F.R. Chapter VII).
By creating a Greenleaf Account, you also confirm that you will not accept payments in connection with any illegal activity or goods.
7. Our Role
Register facilitates the tracking of payments you receive from your Buyers. This means that we assist you in collecting, analysing and relaying information generated in connection with these payments.
8. Unauthorised or Illegal Use
If we reasonably suspect that your Greenleaf Account has been used for an unauthorised, illegal, or criminal purpose, you give us express authorisation to share information about you, your Greenleaf Account, and any of your transactions with law enforcement.
9. Greenleaf Account History
Summaries of your Greenleaf Account activity, including monthly statements, are available on our website for up to one year of account activity. Except as required by law, you are solely responsible for (a) compiling and retaining permanent records of all transactions and other data associated with your Greenleaf Account and your use of the Services, and (b) reconciling all transactional information that is associated with your Greenleaf Account. If you believe that there is an error or unauthorised transaction activity is associated with your Greenleaf Account, you agree to contact us immediately.
10. Receipts
You may give your Buyers the option to receive or decline a written receipt. As a convenience, but not in lieu of a written receipt, the Register receipt screen offers Buyers a choice to sign up to receive digital receipts delivered by Greenleaf through email. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to provide Buyers with receipts, proof of purchase or tax invoices, in each case as required by applicable law, and we accept no responsibility or liability for the form, content, accuracy or provision of such receipts, proof of purchase or tax invoices.
11. Taxes
You are responsible for determining any and all taxes assessed, incurred, or required to be collected, paid, or withheld for any reason in connection with your use of our software and services (“Taxes”). You also are solely responsible for collecting, withholding, reporting, and remitting correct Taxes to the appropriate tax authority. We are not obligated to, nor will we determine whether Taxes apply, or calculate, collect, report, or remit any Taxes to any tax authority arising from any transaction. Greenleaf specifically disclaims any liability for Taxes.
12. Customer Service
You are solely responsible for all customer service policies and issues relating to your goods or services, including pricing, order fulfillment, cancellations or no shows by you or a Buyer, returns, refunds and adjustments, rebates, functionality and warranty, technical support, and feedback concerning experiences with your personnel, policies or processes.

You are solely responsible for compliance with any privacy laws applicable to your use of the Services.
15. Your Content
In connection with your Greenleaf Account, any business listing, and your use of the Services, you may be able to upload or provide photos, logos, products, loyalty programs, promotions, advertisements and other materials or information (“Seller Content”).

Although Greenleaf has no obligation to screen, edit, or monitor any Seller Content, Greenleaf reserves the right, and has absolute discretion, to remove, screen, edit, or disable any Seller Content at any time and for any reason without notice. You understand that by using the Services, you may be exposed to Seller Content that is offensive, indecent, or objectionable. We take no responsibility and assume no liability for any Seller Content, including any loss or damage to any of your Seller Content.
16. Copyright and Trademark Infringement
Greenleaf respects the copyright and trademark rights of others and asks you to do the same. Greenleaf has adopted a Copyright & Trademark Policy regarding claims that third party material infringes the copyrights or trademarks of others. Greenleaf responds to all valid notices of such copyright and trademark infringement, and it is Greenleaf’s policy to suspend or terminate the access privileges of those who repeatedly infringe the copyrights and trademarks of others.
17. Security

27. Disputes
If a dispute of any kind arises, we want to understand and address your concerns quickly and to your satisfaction. Please contact Greenleaf Support with any dispute. If we cannot resolve your concerns, we agree to an informal and inexpensive dispute resolution process requiring individual arbitration.
28. Binding Individual Arbitration
You and Greenleaf agree to arbitrate all Disputes. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court and seeks to resolve disputes more quickly. Instead of a judge or a jury, the case will be decided by a neutral arbitrator who has the power to award the same damages and relief that a court can. ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE ONLY BE ON A INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTIONS, AND CONSOLIDATION WITH OTHER ARBITRATIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED, AND YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHTS TO HAVE YOUR CASE DECIDED BY A JURY AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AGAINST GREENLEAF. If any provision of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision shall be severed, and the remaining arbitration terms shall be enforced (but in no case shall there be a class arbitration). All Disputes shall be resolved finally and exclusively by binding individual arbitration with a single arbitrator administered by the American Arbitration Association (www.adr.org) or JAMS (www.jamsadr.com) according to this provision and the applicable arbitration rules for that forum. Consumer claimants (individuals whose transaction is intended for personal, family, or household use) may elect to pursue their claims in their local small-claims court rather than through arbitration. The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, fully applies. If you are a consumer bringing a claim relating to personal, household, or family use, any arbitration hearing will occur within the county or parish where you reside. Otherwise, any arbitration hearing will occur in San Francisco, California, or another mutually agreeable location. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. For any Dispute, Greenleaf will pay all the arbitration fees. If you prevail on any claim for which you are legally entitled to attorney’s fees, you may recover those fees from the arbitrator. For any claim where you are seeking relief, Greenleaf will not seek to have you pay its attorney’s fees, even if fees might otherwise be awarded, unless the arbitrator determines that your claim was frivolous. For purposes of this arbitration provision, references to you and Greenleaf also include respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors, successors and assigns as well as authorized users or beneficiaries of Greenleaf services. Subject to and without waiver of the arbitration provisions above, you agree that any judicial proceedings (other than small claims actions in consumer cases) will be brought in and you hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state courts in the City and County of San Francisco, California, or federal court for the Northern District of California.
29. Governing Law
This Agreement and any Dispute will be governed by California, U.S.A. law and/or applicable United States federal law (including the Federal Arbitration Act) as applied to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within California, U.S.A., without regard to its choice of law or conflicts of law principles that would require application of law of a different jurisdiction.
30. Limitation on Time to Initiate a Dispute
Unless otherwise required by law, an action or proceeding by you relating to any Dispute must commence within one year after the cause of action accrues.
31. Right to Amend
We have the right to change or add to the terms of this Agreement at any time, and to change, delete, discontinue, or impose conditions on any feature or aspect of the Services with notice that we in our sole discretion deem to be reasonable in the circumstances, including such notice on our website at squareup.com or any other website maintained or owned by us for the purposes of providing services in terms of this Agreement. Any use of the Services after our publication of any such changes shall constitute your acceptance of this Agreement as modified. However, any Dispute that arose before the modification shall be governed by the Agreement that was in place when the Dispute arose.
32. Assignment
This Agreement, and any rights and licences granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by Greenleaf without restriction.
33. Third Party Services and Links to Other Web Sites
You may be offered services, products and promotions provided by third parties and not by Greenleaf (“Third Party Services”). If you decide to use these Third Party Services you will be responsible for reviewing and understanding the terms and conditions associated with these services. You agree that Greenleaf is not responsible for the performance of these services. The Services may contain links to third party websites as a convenience to you. The inclusion of any website link does not imply an approval, endorsement, or recommendation by Greenleaf. You agree that you access any such website at your own risk, and that the website is not governed by the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement. Greenleaf expressly disclaims any liability for these websites. Please remember that when you use a link to go from the Services to a third party website, our Privacy Policy is no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on a third party website, including those that have a link in the Services is subject to that website’s own rules and policies.
34. Other Provisions
Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, these terms are a complete statement of the agreement between you and Greenleaf, and they describe the entire liability of Greenleaf and its vendors and suppliers (including processors) and your exclusive remedy with respect to your access and use of the Services. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and any other Greenleaf agreement or policy, this Agreement shall prevail on the subject matter of this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, then it shall be changed and interpreted to accomplish the objectives of such provision to the greatest extent possible under applicable law, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. Headings are included for convenience only, and shall not be considered in interpreting this Agreement. The Agreement does not limit any rights that Greenleaf may have under trade secret, copyright, patent, or other laws. Greenleaf’s failure to assert any right or provision under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. No waiver of any term of this Agreement shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term.
35. Survival
In addition to any provision that is reasonably necessary to accomplish or enforce the purpose of this Agreement, the following sections of this Agreement survive and remain in effect in accordance with their terms upon the termination of this Agreement: 9-12, 14-15 and 21-36.
