1. SUMMARY OF NEON PAY SERVICE
1.1 Overview. Neon Pay allows you to accept payments via credit card, debit card, ACH, and a variety of other payment applications including 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”). Neon Pay 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 transactions data (“Transaction Data“) only in the provisioning of Neon Pay; provided, however, we may use the Transaction Data in an aggregate form combined with the data of other Neon One clients for statistical analysis and reporting. Neon One 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. 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. Neon One processes payments you receive from your Constituents via Neon Pay. 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 Neon Pay to enter into a Sub-Merchant Agreement with the Payment Processor(s) of record (each, a “Sub-Merchant Agreement”) and use of Neon Pay requires your acceptance of these relevant Sub-Merchant Agreements. As of the date of these Neon Pay Terms, Neon One uses Payrix Solutions, as a Payment Processor and its Sub-Merchant Agreement is located at (https://portal.payrix.com/terms). Neon One 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 Neon Pay Terms and using Neon Pay, 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 Neon Pay 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 Neon Pay Terms.
