WHEREAS, Betterfin is engaged in the business of providing a program (the “Purchase Program”) for products offered for sale by merchants utilizing a network provided by Apruve, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its affiliates, “Apruve”); and

WHEREAS, Accountholder requests Betterfin to accept and onboard Accountholder by reviewing its application and, upon approval, assigning a Purchase Program account number and allow Accountholder to participate in the Purchase Program.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants provided herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree to be legally bound as follows:

  1. Purchase Program Enrollment
    Upon review and approval by Betterfin of your application, Betterfin shall issue you with a Purchase Program account (the “Account”) identified by an Account specific identification number. Upon Approval, Accountholder may purchase goods and services from participating merchants up to Accountholder’s Purchase Limit.
  2. Evaluation/Security Deposit
    Accountholder hereby authorizes Betterfin and its employees, attorneys, agents, assigns, and successors to obtain from and share with Apruve or any merchant within the Purchase Program any information Accountholder submits to Apruve or Betterfin or such merchant through any means, and investigate the credit history in connection with Accountholder’s application, including, without limitation, through commercial reporting companies, direct inquiries to businesses where Accountholder has accounts, and review of personal credit histories (where appropriate) by obtaining consumer and business credit reports on the Accountholder and any of its owners. Betterfin represents that information contained on any consumer credit report obtained will only be used for deciding whether to accept the Accountholder into the Purchase Program and will not be used with respect to any decision to extend credit or for personal, family, or household purposes. If Betterfin determines that Accountholder cannot be accepted into the Purchase Program based on existing credit history or current credit events, then Betterfin, in its discretion, may approve an Account creation by requiring a security deposit, guaranty, or other collateral in order to open or to continue the account. Betterfin will utilize information provided by applicant in accordance with its Privacy Policy, which may be found on the Betterfin website.
  3. Program Usage
    Participation in the Purchase Program by the Accountholder is subject to Betterfin’s approval of Accountholder’s application and Accountholder’s acceptance of all terms and conditions contained herein, and Accountholder’s utilization of the Purchase Program provided hereunder shall be considered acceptance for the purposes hereof. This Agreement and the terms and conditions contained herein may be amended, modified, or otherwise supplemented from time to time by Betterfin upon no less than fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice, and if no effective date of the revised terms is provided in such notice, then such revised terms are effective fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice (for purposes hereof, email notification shall constitute written notice). After receipt of such notice, Accountholder’s continued possession or use of its Account under the Purchase Program shall be considered acceptance of such revised terms and conditions. If Accountholder does not accept the changes, then Accountholder may close its Account by notifying Betterfin at the following telephone number: 1-845-605-8069, any time before the changes come into effect, provided that outstanding and pending amounts payable under the Account are paid in full. Usage of the Account by the Accountholder includes the retention or use of the Account by (i) the Accountholder or (ii) any person or entity under Accountholder’s direction or control. As a condition of participating in the Purchase Program, Accountholder consents to receive information from both Betterfin and Apruve electronically through the Betterfin portal (“Program Website”), unless another method of communication is agreed to by Betterfin.

  10. Payment/Late Fees
    1. Accountholder shall make payments to Betterfin or Betterfin’s designee as frequently as may be necessary to keep the outstanding Account balance within the Purchase Limit and in compliance with the payment terms set forth herein. If Accountholder or its bank for any reason should fail to timely pay any amount due Betterfin, Accountholder understands and agrees that Betterfin may immediately suspend all Accounts held by Accountholder and draw against any letter of credit or other security pledged by Accountholder for the benefit of Betterfin. If Accountholder’s bank should fail to honor payment to Betterfin or Apruve or any outstanding amounts due in connection with Accountholder’s Account becomes delinquent, then Betterfin may require immediate and full payment of all outstanding amounts. In the event that a payment made to Betterfin, Apruve or their designee is returned by the Accountholder’s bank, then Betterfin or Apruve reserves the right to charge a returned payment fee to the Accountholder’s Account in the amount of fifty dollars ($50.00) per instance or the maximum amount permitted by law, if less. Accountholder may pay its billing statement by direct debit to its bank account via automated clearing house (ACH), or through Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), or such other means as approved by Betterfin and Apruve from time to time (to the extent payment is made by check, Accountholder shall send the payment to the address on the billing statement). Accountholder shall notify Betterfin of its election to pay any amounts due and payable hereunder through ACH, EFT or check via the Program Website or as otherwise instructed to Betterfin.
    2. Account statements will be issued by Apruve on either a monthly basis issued on the last day of the month (net 15) or on a daily basis (net 30 or net 60) depending on the Account’s billing settings in the Program Website . Statements that have a remaining balance after the due date are considered delinquent. Delinquent accounts may be assessed late fees at a monthly rate of the lesser of one and a half percent (1.5%) of the transaction value per month on all outstanding transactions or the maximum percentage interest rate assessable pursuant to applicable law. Late fees are assessed on each subsequent statement in which such late fees have accrued. Such late fees are only assessed on outstanding amounts and are not based on the entire amount billed in a billing period. Late fees may be waived or modified by Betterfin’s in its sole discretion with written notice to the Accountholder. The Accountholder is liable for all late fees assessed to the Account and must pay the fees to maintain the Account below the Purchase Limit and in good standing. Betterfin applies payments first to any accrued interest and then to billing statements on a first-in, first out basis.
    3. Betterfin may offset any amounts owed by Betterfin to Accountholder against any claims Betterfin has against the Accountholder. Accountholder is and shall be liable to Betterfin and Apruve for all costs and expenses incurred Betterfin in collection and enforcing its rights hereunder, including but not limited to, late fees, and reasonable attorneys’ fees, if any, incurred by Betterfin to collect all amounts due on Accountholder’s Account.

  11. Disputes
    Accountholders have thirty (30) days from the original invoice date to dispute charges. All disputes must be submitted to merchant or Apruve by the Accountholder within such thirty (30) day period. If an Account transaction is not disputed within thirty (30) days from the original invoice date in accordance with the terms hereof, then the Accountholder is liable for all charges related to the transaction.

    3. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Accountholder expressly and irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, a defense of immunity on the grounds of sovereign immunity or other similar grounds in any action or proceeding which may be commenced or asserted by Betterfin against Accountholder or Accountholder’s revenues and/or assets, whether in whole or in part or otherwise, which status would otherwise entitle Accountholder to assert such a defense in any claim against it from: (a) suit; (b) jurisdiction of any court; (c) relief by way of injunction, order for specific performance or for recovery of property; (d) attachment of Accountholder’s revenues and/or assets (whether before or after judgement); and (e) execution or enforcement of any judgement to which Accountholder or Accountholder’s revenues and/or assets might otherwise be subject in any proceedings in the courts of any jurisdiction.
