We may require more information about your business to evaluate your request and will decide at our sole discretion whether to honor such requests.

Payment Processing Fees

You agree to pay payment processing or other transaction-related fees (“Fees”) in addition to our subscription fee. We reserve the right to change our Fees at any time in our sole discretion.

Access to Your Funds

We will transfer to your designated bank account (identified as the bank account specified in your Servgrow account) the net amounts we receive from transactions executed through the Service. This amount is calculated after deducting any relevant fees and any outstanding payments you owe Servgrow. We retain the right to modify our payment schedule.

Once we've verified your US bank account details, we'll automatically process a payout to your chosen bank account at the end of each business day, barring certain circumstances. Normally, payouts should appear in your bank account within 3-4 business days, depending on your bank's procedures. We may also give you the option to distribute funds to multiple accounts.

The funds from any specific transaction will not be deposited until the transaction is classified as complete. A transaction is considered complete when either we or the assigned financial institutions have approved the transaction or funds. If we find any processing errors, we'll strive to correct them and may retain funds during our investigation of these errors.

You're responsible for monitoring your transactions and ensuring our payments to you are accurate. If you find any discrepancies in the payments we've made to you, you must notify us within sixty (60) days of the error first appearing in your electronic transaction history. Failing to do so will be seen as a waiver of any rights to the amounts owed to you. However, even if you notify us within the sixty (60) day period, it does not guarantee that the error can be rectified.

Restrictions on Availability of Funds

Should we need to conduct an investigation or resolve any suspicious activity or pending dispute related your account, we may delay payout or restrict access to your funds for the entire time it takes for us to do so. We also may delay payout or restrict access to your funds as required by law or court order, or if otherwise requested by law enforcement or governmental entities.

Chargebacks

The amount of a transaction may be reversed or charged back to your bank account (a “Chargeback”) if the transaction (a) is disputed, (b) is reversed for any reason by the Card Associations (defined below), our processor, or a payer’s or our financial institution, (c) was not authorized or we have any reason to believe that the transaction was not authorized, or (d) is allegedly unlawful, suspicious, or in violation of the terms of this Agreement.

There is a non-refundable $25 fee for each Chargeback regardless of the outcome of the dispute.

Contesting Chargebacks; Our Collection Rights for Chargebacks. For any transaction that results in a Chargeback, we may withhold the Chargeback amount in a Reserve (defined below). In the event a consumer charges back a payment that we have processed and caused funds to be delivered to your account, our payment processor Stripe may withhold or take back such amounts while the charge is in dispute.  In such event, if your account does not have sufficient funds, we may be required to advance such funds to Stripe on your behalf. If this occurs, you agree that we are entitled to be reimbursed by you immediately, and that your sole remedy lies with your customer and your customer’s bank. We may deduct the amount of any Chargeback and any associated fees, fines, or penalties assessed by the card-issuing bank or organization (“Card Association”) or our processor from your bank account (including without limitation any Reserve), from any proceeds due to you, your bank account, or from any other payment instruments registered with us. If you have pending Chargebacks, we may delay payouts to your bank account. Further, if we reasonably believe that a Chargeback is likely with respect to any transaction, we may withhold the amount of the potential Chargeback from payments otherwise due to you under this Agreement until such time that (a) a Chargeback is assessed due to a customer’s complaint, in which case we will retain the funds, (b) the period of time under applicable law or regulation by which the customer may dispute that the transaction has expired or (c) we determine that a Chargeback on the transaction will not occur. If we are unable to recover funds related to a Chargeback for which you are liable, you will pay us the full amount of the Chargeback immediately upon demand. You agree to pay all costs and expenses, including without limitation attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses, incurred by or on behalf of us in connection with the collection of all the Users account deficit balances unpaid by you.

Any bank account or Card information may be held by Servgrow in order to satisfy any account balances, disputes, refunds, Chargebacks or other liabilities or obligations after leaving or terminating the Service.

Excessive Chargebacks

If we determine, in our sole discretion, that you are incurring an excessive amount of Chargebacks, we may establish controls or conditions governing your account, including without limitation, by (a) establishing new processing Fees, (b) creating a Reserve in an amount reasonably determined by us to cover anticipated Chargebacks and related fees, (c) delaying payouts and (d) terminating or suspending your access to the Service.

Reserve

If we have reasonable suspicion of misuse, we may temporarily suspend or delay payments to you and/or designate an amount of funds that we must maintain in a separate reserve account (a “Reserve”) to secure the performance of your payment obligations under this Agreement. We may require a Reserve for any reason, including if you have a high rate of Chargebacks or refunds, or other indications of performance problems related to your use of the Service. The Reserve will be in an amount as reasonably determined by us to cover anticipated Chargebacks, returns, unshipped merchandise and/or unfulfilled products or services or credit risk based on your processing history or such amount designated by our processor. The Reserve may be raised, reduced or removed at any time by us, in our sole discretion, based on your payment history, a credit review, the amount of any arbitration award or court judgment against you in our favor, or otherwise as we or our processor may determine or require. If you do not have sufficient funds in your Reserve, we may fund the Reserve from any funding source associated with your account, including but not limited to any funds (a) due to you under this Agreement or (b) available in your bank account, or other payment instrument registered with us. You grant us a security interest in and lien on any and all funds held in any Reserve, and also authorize us to make any withdrawals or debits from the Reserve, without prior notice to you, to collect amounts that you owe us under this Agreement, including without limitation for any reversals of deposits or transfers made to your bank account.

You also are solely responsible for collecting, withholding, reporting, and remitting correct Taxes to the appropriate tax authority.

It is your responsibility to ensure that your business name and Tax Identification Number as provided to Servgrow are accurate and up to date.  

Refunds and Returns

You agree to process returns, and provide refunds and adjustments, for your goods or services through your Pro account in accordance with these terms and any applicable Card Association Rules. Card Association Rules may require that you will (a) maintain a fair return, cancellation or adjustment policy, (b) disclose your return or cancellation policy to customers at the time of purchase, (c) not give cash refunds to a customer in connection with a Card sale, unless required by law and (d) not accept cash or any other item of value for preparing a Card sale refund.

The amount of the refund/ adjustment must include any associated taxes required to be refunded and cannot exceed the amount shown as the total on the original sales data except by the exact amount required to reimburse the customer for postage that the customer paid to return merchandise. If you accept returns and are making an uneven exchange of merchandise (e.g., the sales price is not the same), you must issue a credit for the total amount of the merchandise being returned and complete a new sale for any new merchandise. Please be aware, if your refund policy prohibits returns or is unsatisfactory to the buyer, you may still receive a Chargeback relating to such sales. You can process a refund through your account up to sixty (60) days from the day you accepted the payment. If the balance in your account is insufficient to cover the refund, we will withdraw up to the requested refund amount from your bank account and credit it back to your customer’s Card. Transaction Fees are also refunded, so the full purchase amount is always returned to your customer. We have no obligation to accept any returns of any of your goods or services on your behalf.

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 account and your use of the Service and (b) reconciling all transactional information that is associated with your account.

Negative Account Balances & Repayment Plans.

For any Servgrow account which has a negative balance (e.g., you provide more refunds than you receive payments and/or have a number of disputed transactions), that negative balance constitutes a debt owed to Servgrow. Accordingly, the following terms apply:

i) any payments received to that account (e.g., from future customer transactions) will be applied to automatically reduce the balance;  

ii) the functionality which enables the processing of refunds through the affected account may be disabled at any time by Servgrow without prior notice; and

In no event will Servgrow be considered a general contractor, construction manager, project manager, joint employer, joint venturer, or partner of Pros or any of its affiliates or their respective personnel.

Text Messaging, Text Broadcasts & Auto Texts

Servgrow text messaging services ("Text Services") include 2way SMS, Text Broadcasts, Auto Texting and any other Servgrow feature utilizing text messaging.

All communications sent using the Text Services must adhere to all state and federal laws, including the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and the CAN-SPAM Act. Text Services should be used in full compliance with the TCPA. The TCPA sets limits on telemarketing calls, the usage of automatic telephone dialing systems, and artificial or pre-recorded voice messages. To use the Tools, the TCPA mandates you to acquire prior express written consent from consumers, even if an established business relationship exists. You must cease sending texts to consumers who choose to opt-out or request removal, as per TCPA regulations. The TCPA also prohibits you from sending automated messages or voice mails to people listed on the national Do-Not-Call registry.

Text Services should only be used to send communications to your existing customers, not for soliciting new customers. You warrant that you have the recipient's permission to send any communications that you send using Text Services.

These Terms of Service may not be modified or amended other than by an agreement signed by both parties.

Miscellaneous
