The certifications immediately above are not sought, and are not provided, if and to the extent such request or certification would constitute a violation of any anti-boycott, non-discrimination, or blocking provisions foreseen in applicable local laws.
You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of the Services is in compliance with all laws applicable to you, including without limitation, the rules and guidelines of any system or network that facilitates payments and any security requirements, including under the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI-DSS), as may be applicable to you.

You must never publish, distribute, or share your Client ID or secret, and must encrypt this information in storage and during transit.
Your systems and application(s) must handle End User Data securely. With respect to End User Data, you should follow industry best practices and at a minimum must perform the following:

To the extent applicable, if you use End User Data in an anonymized form then your use of such anonymized data must be clearly and conspicuously disclosed to the End User including a description of how you use such anonymized End User Data.

Account Deactivation

Once you stop using the Services in accordance with any applicable agreement you may have with us, you may deactivate your Account by following the instructions on the Site.

After your Account deactivation, we will deprovision your access to all End User Data associated with your integration.
Even after your Account deactivation, and to the extent permitted under applicable law, we may still retain any information we collected about you for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in our privacy policy/statement, or for a longer retention period if required or permitted under applicable law.

  • access or use the Services or End User Data in a manner that violates any applicable law, statute, ordinance, or regulation.

Suspension and Termination

We reserve the right to withhold, refuse, or terminate access to the Services and/or End User Data in whole or in part where we believe the Services are being accessed or used in violation of this Policy or any other SafePay agreement, including SafePay’s agreements with any third party partners or data sources of SafePay (each, a “Partner”), or where use would pose a risk of harm, including reputational harm, to SafePay, its infrastructure, its data, the Services, an end user, or a Partner.
We will use reasonable efforts to notify you via email or other method when deciding to withhold, refuse, or terminate access to the Services and/or End User Data. We may immediately suspend or terminate access without notice if appropriate under the circumstances, such as when we become aware of activity that is a violation of any applicable law or when we determine, in our sole discretion, that harm is imminent.
SafePay will not be liable for any damages of any nature suffered by you or any third party resulting from SafePay’s exercise of its rights under this Policy or under applicable law.

Reporting Violations

If any person becomes aware of a violation of this Policy, we request that you immediately notify us via email to [email protected]. We may take any appropriate action — including reporting any activity or conduct that we suspect violates the law to appropriate law enforcement officials, regulators, or other appropriate third parties — in our sole discretion in respect to such violations. We may also disclose relevant information about your use of our Services as part of our Dispute Resolution process, if it has been determined by us, law enforcement officials, regulators, or competent legal representative that you may have violated this Policy; or to defend us from damages or suit caused by lack of agreement between you and an end user and your subsequent access to their End User Data from our Services, to the extent permitted by law.

Force Majure

SafePay will not be liable for the non-performance or failure to provide any part of the Forseti Platform occurring as a result of any events that are beyond the reasonable control of SafePay, for example, but not limited to, fire, telecommunications or internet failure, utility failure, power failure, equipment failure, employment strife, riot, war, terrorist attack, non-performance of third party suppliers, acts of God such as storm or lightning damage, or other causes over which SafePay has no reasonable control.

Dispute Resolution

We hope you will have a positive experience using our Platform, but should a dispute between us arise out of or relating to these Terms, in lieu of a Master Services Agreement defining a different process we agree to resolve the dispute by following these steps:
  1. Send us a notice, according to the Notices section below, describing the dispute and including all relevant facts so we know how to help you.
  2. Within 8 business days after our receipt of your notice, we will reach out to discuss your dispute with you.
  3. If we’re not able to resolve your dispute during our discussion, you will send us a written proposal for resolving your dispute.
  4. Within 15 business days after our receipt of your written proposal, we will let you know whether we agree to your proposal, or we will provide you with a counter-proposal.
After Step 4, it’s up to you to decide whether you’d like to continue to negotiate with us to resolve your dispute, or whether you’d like to pursue a resolution through some other means.

Throughout this process, both you and SafePay agree to negotiate in good faith and according to the terms of this section to resolve the dispute before resorting to litigation or some other form of dispute resolution procedure. All negotiations (including your notice, our discussions, and your and our proposals) pursuant to this section are confidential and treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for the purposes of federal and state rules of evidence and procedure.

Universal Data Access

Forseti promotes an Open Finance ecosystem in which end users own their data (e.g., financial data) and may grant access to such data to third parties. To the extent that you host any such end user data not already accessible by SafePay, upon SafePay’s reasonable request, the parties agree to cooperate in good faith to negotiate and initiate an arrangement for SafePay to access such end user data on behalf of end users.

Jurisdiction

Notwithstanding the place where this Agreement may be executed by any party, or as explicitly defined by a Master Service Agreement, this Agreement, the rights and obligations of the parties, and any claims and disputes relating hereto shall be subject to and governed by the laws of the State of Georgia and the laws of the United States of America as applied to agreements among Georgia residents to be entered into and performed entirely within the State of Georgia, and such laws shall govern all aspects of this Agreement, and the parties hereby waive all questions of personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts, including, without limitation, the claim or defense therein that such courts constitute an inconvenient forum. You agree that in the event of conflict between the laws of the State of Georgia and the laws of the United States of America and any other jurisdictional laws (including international law), the laws of the State of Georgia and the laws of the United States of America shall prevail.

Enforcement of this Agreement

The failure by you or SafePay to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein or in any other agreement you may have with us shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder.

If any provision of this Policy is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Policy shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.
