PLEASE READ THESE PAYMENT TERMS CAREFULLY. THE INDIVIDUAL ACCEPTING THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY OR OTHER LEGAL ENTITY COMPLETING THE APPLICATION TO USE THE PAYMENT SOFTWARE AND PAYMENT SERVICES, REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT THEY HAVE FULL AUTHORITY TO BIND SUCH ENTITY AS WELL AS ANY AFFILIATE WITH AN ACCOUNT USED WITH THE PAYMENT SERVICES (COLLECTIVELY, THE “CLIENT”) TO THIS AGREEMENT. THESE PAYMENT TERMS GOVERN CLIENT’S RIGHTS TO USE THE PAYMENT SERVICES. BY ASSENTING TO THESE PAYMENT TERMS (EITHER BY CLICKING ACCEPT, CHECKING A BOX, OR USING THE PAYMENT SOFTARE) CLIENT ACCEPTS THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, WHICH WILL BE DEEMED A BINDING CONTRACT BETWEEN CLIENT AND JSQ TS. IF CLIENT DOES NOT AGREE TO ALL THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OR IF THE INDIVIDUAL DOES NOT HAVE AUTHORITY TO BIND THE CLIENT, THEN DO NOT ACCPET THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND CLIENT WILL NOT BE AUTHORIZED TO ACCESS OR USE THE PAYMENT SOFTWARE AND PAYMENT SERVICES.
These terms and conditions, including any schedules attached hereto (collectively, the “Payment Terms”) are entered into by and between Client and JSQ Treasury Services, LLC (“JSQ TS”) as of the earliest of the date the Client accepts the Payment Terms or begins using the Payment Software (the “Effective Date”). Capitalized terms have the meanings set forth in Schedule A.
JSQ TS Payment Services Overview. JSQ TS provides services that allows Clients to distribute money to their investors (each investor, an “Investor;” the services, the “Payment Services”) by communicating payment instructions via the Payment Software. Client must complete an application to access and use the Payment Services. The application will require submission of information about Client, its beneficial owners, its Accounts, and other information reasonably required for JSQ TS and Bank to complete a customer due diligence review of Client. All information submitted as part of the application shall be treated as Client’s Confidential Information. Client will be not granted access to the Payment Software or be able to use the Payment Services until JSQ TS has reviewed and approved Client’s application. Approval of Client’s application is subject to JSQ TS’s discretion based on a risk review conducted on the information submitted as part of the application. If JSQ TS approves Client’s application, JSQ TS shall provide Client with access to the Payment Software to enable Client to send Payments and use the Payment Services as specified in these Payment Terms. The Payment Software is only accessible through the software-as-a-service platform of JSQ TS’s affiliate Juniper Square, Inc. (the “JSQ Software”). Client or its affiliate must have a separate subscription to the JSQ Software in order to access and use the Payment Software, it being understood that Client has no right to independently access the Payment Software if Client’s subscription to the JSQ Software has ended. Client understands that the Payment Software is separate from the JSQ Software. Juniper Square, Inc. shall be solely responsible for the JSQ Software under the terms of a separate agreement related to the JSQ Software and JSQ TS shall be solely responsible for the Payment Software. In no event will Juniper Square, Inc. be responsible for any liability of JSQ TS, or vice versa.
Fees. For access to and use of the Payment Services, Client must pay JSQ TS a fee (the “Fee”) for payments initiated in the Payment Software as set forth on the Rate Card for Add-On Services, as posted at https://www.junipersquare.com/terms-and-policies/rate-card (the “Rate Card”). JSQ TS may make updates to the Rate Card at any time, and any such changes shall be effective immediately upon posting to the Rate Card web page. Fees incurred by Client will be billed monthly in arrears based on Client’s usage of the Payment Services. Fees shall be past due if not paid within 30 days of the date of invoice. All amounts past due shall bear interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum, or the highest rate permitted by Applicable Law, whichever is less. Fees paid are non-refundable. Client is responsible for paying all taxes associated with the Payment Services, including sales, use, value added and excise taxes as applicable, but excluding taxes assessed on the income or gross receipts of JSQ TS. To the extent JSQ TS is obligated to pay or collect any taxes for which Client is responsible under these Payment Terms, Juniper Square will invoice Client for such taxes unless Client provides a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the applicable taxing authority or provides proof of use tax payment. If Juniper Square receives less than the full Fees due to tax withholding, the Fees shall automatically be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that Juniper Square receives a sum net of any withholding or deduction equal to the sum which it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made or required to be made.
Accepted Payment Methods. Client may fund transfers to Investors via an automated clearinghouse (“ACH”) transaction debiting Client’s bank account (its “Account”) or via wire transfer from Client’s Account. In each case, funds from Client’s Account will be received to a pooled custodial account at JSQ TS’s banking partner (“Bank”) identified to Client via the Software. Bank is currently Cross River Bank, a New Jersey state chartered bank, but may change at JSQ TS’s discretion. Investors may receive payments via domestic ACH transfer, domestic wire, , or other payment method supported by the Payment Software, per Client’s instructions.
Initiating Payments. Payments may be initiated by the Client by submitting a payment request via the Payment Software in the form and format specified by JSQ TS (“Instructions”). Additionally, if Client has purchased administration services offered by JSQ TS’s affiliate JSQ Administrative Services LLC (“JSQ AS”), Instructions may be submitted on the Client’s behalf by JSQ AS as part of the administration services the Client receives under a separate agreement between Client and JSQ AS. In each case, Client must approve each payment within the Payment Software using a Payments Administrator or Payments Manager account.
Each payment or associated transaction (each, a “Payment”) is subject to the prior approval of an Authorized Person in such form or format as JSQ TS may designate from time to time and execution by JSQ TS of the foregoing shall be deemed an authorized transaction of the Account. Client is responsible for all Instructions submitted to JSQ TS, and covenants that all submitted Instructions are true, correct and complete. JSQ TS shall have no obligation to execute any Instructions or effect a Payment or associated transaction if Client is in default of any of its obligations under these Payment Terms. JSQ TS makes no representations or warranties regarding its performance except as set forth in these Payment Terms.
Payment Purposes & Prohibited Recipients. Client agrees to use the Payment Services solely for making distributions or payments to Investors (or to correct a previously transmitted erroneous Payment). Client further represents, warrants, and covenants that it is not any of the prohibited business types or engaged in transactions of such types and that it will not use the Payment Services to engage in the activities or to send Payments to Investors or other persons that are engaged in such prohibited business types as listed as prohibited at https://www.junipersquare.com/terms-and-policies/restricted-industries (the “Restricted Industries List”). Client further acknowledges that if it is a business type listed as restricted it may be subject to additional due diligence questions as part of the application to use the Payment Software. The Restricted Industries list may be updated from time to time based on JSQ TS or Bank’s requirements. JSQ TS shall notify Client of any update to the Restricted Industries List, which may take place via notice in the Payment Software itself. Client’s continued use of the Payment Services after such notice shall be evidence of Client’s continued representation and warranty that it is not engaged in any of the prohibited business types or engaged in transactions of such types and that it will not use the Payment Services to engage in the activities or to send Payments to Investors or other persons that are engaged in such prohibited business type. If any update to the Restricted Industries list caused Client to be on the prohibited business types list or the restricted business types list, Client shall promptly notify JSQ TS.
Fund Ownership & Instructions. Payments to Investors do not pass into JSQ TS’s legal ownership at any time from payment initiation to successful delivery, including any subsequent refunds. Payments are performed using one or more accounts at Bank held in the Bank’s name and owned by the Bank (“Custodial Accounts”). The Custodial Account titles also show that these Custodial Accounts are for the benefit of Clients of JSQ TS. Client acknowledges that Bank does not maintain an “account” for Client or Client’s customers within the meaning of Regulation E (12 C.F.R. Part 205), and is not subject to the error resolution procedures required under Regulation E. On Client’s Instructions, JSQ TS will instruct Bank on the use of funds in the Custodial Accounts, including receiving funds from Client and sending funds to an Investor based on Client’s instructions. The Bank transfers all funds for the benefit of JSQ TS’s Clients upon JSQ TS’s instructions.

It is the sole responsibility of the Client to verify that the individual providing the authorization is, in fact, entitled to use of the specified account. Client’s obligation to pay the amount of the Entry to JSQ TS is not excused if the individual providing the authorization is not entitled to use of the specified account.
