Payment Processing Agreement

Last updated on December 1, 2021

In connection with the Subscription Agreement, the terms and conditions below together with the SE Payments online form (collectively the “SE Payments Agreement”) shall govern the organization’s use and access to the payment processing services (“SE Payments”).

The Organization will be required to accept this SE Payments Agreement online before accessing the Services. Unless the contrary intention appears, the defined terms in the Subscription Agreement are hereby incorporated into these terms.

1. SPORTSENGINE PAYMENTS

1.1 The SE Payments solution is a payment processing service that helps the Organization integrate with a payment processor (the “Payment Processor”), allowing the Organization to amongst other uses accept payments from its members, including athletes, parents/legal guardians of athletes, the Organization’s workforce (which includes volunteers, coaches, and Administrators) or other associated persons of the Organization that benefit as end-users of the Software and/or Services (the “Members”), online via platforms provided by SportsEngine (“Services”). For clarity, these Services are not part of the “Services” provided by SportsEngine under the Terms of Use. The term "Services" as used in this SE Payments Agreement, refers solely to the Services provided by SportsEngine under this SE Payments Agreement.

1.2 In consideration of your Organization’s receipt of credit or debit card funded payments, and participation in programs affiliated with MasterCard International Inc. ("MasterCard"), VISA U.S.A. Inc., Visa Europe Ltd., Visa Canada Inc., Visa International (collectively "Visa"), Discover ("Discover"), American Express and other applicable card networks’ (such networks being, collectively, the “Card Networks”), your Organization is required to (i) enter into a direct relationship with an entity that is a member of the Card Networks and (ii) agree to comply with Card Network rules as they pertain to applicable credit and debit card payments. By entering into this SE Payments Agreement, your Organization is fulfilling the Card Networks’ rule of entering into a direct relationship with a member of the Card Networks; however, the Payment Processor and its designated Member Bank(s) understand that your Organization has contracted with SportsEngine to obtain certain processing services.

1.3 Depending on where your Organization is based the Services are provided by:

USA & Rest of World
SportsEngine, Inc. of 807 Broadway, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55413.

United Kingdom & Europe
SportsEngine (UK) Limited (NI643006) trading as SportsEngine, of City Quays 1, 7 Clarendon Road, Belfast, Northern Ireland, BT1 3BG.

Unless the context requires otherwise, hereafter collectively referred to as ‘SportsEngine’, ‘Us’, ‘We’.

1.4 SportsEngine supplies the Services in accordance with this SE Payments Agreement, and for the sake of completeness is not a bank, payment institution or money services business. By accepting this SE Payments Agreement, the Organization acknowledges and agrees that SportsEngine is the provider of the Services and that SportsEngine will be designated as an authorized representative of the Organization with the appointed Payment Processor, regarding the Organization’s use and access of the Services.

2. THE PAYMENT PROCESSOR

2.1 SportsEngine appoints a number of Payment Processors and your specific Payment Processor will depend on where your Organization is based:

USA & Rest of World
Stripe Inc., a Delaware corporation.

UK & Europe
Stripe Payments Europe Ltd, a private limited company incorporated under the laws of Ireland, with registration number 513174, and Stripe Payments UK Ltd, a private limited company registered in England, with registration number 8480771.

Other Payment Processors
In addition to the two Payment Processors listed above, SportsEngine may utilize other Payment Processors, including Worldpay, LLC, WePay Inc., and PayPal. The Organization may be required to enter into additional terms and conditions including specific payment processor terms for the aforementioned Payment Processors. The referenced Payment Processor Terms below are specific to the two Payment Processors listed above.

2.2 The Payment Processor’s role is to accept and process payments online via the platforms provided by SportsEngine, to enable the Organization to receive and accept online payments from its Members, customers, donors, and any other person or entity that needs to pay the Organization, to complement the Organization’s business activities (including membership fee payments, competition entry fees, governing body registration fees, equipment and apparel fees, travel fees, camp/clinic fees, donations from people outside the membership and other similar payments), including Refunds and Disputes (as defined below) (collectively “Transactions”).

2.3 The processing and settlement of the Organization’s Transactions (“Payment Processing”) are carried out by the Payment Processor under separate Payment Processor Terms (the "Payment Processor Terms"). By accepting this SE Payments Agreement, the Organization is also accepting and agreeing to be bound by the Payment Processor Terms.

2.4 In addition, by accepting this SE Payments Agreement and the applicable Payment Processor Terms the Organization agrees to the creation of an account with the Payment Processor for payment processing (the “Payment Processor Account”), where necessary SportsEngine will assist the Organization with this. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this SE Payments Agreement and the applicable Payment Processor Terms concerning payment processing or the Payment Processor Account, the applicable Payment Processor Terms shall prevail.

3. THE SERVICES

FEES

11.1 The fees for the Services will be presented to the Organization at the online order form (“Payments Service Fees”). Unless agreed otherwise, the Payment Service Fees is a charge on a per transaction basis. The rate of the charge may differ depending on the type of agreement or product/service the Organization has with SportsEngine. For example, if your Organization has a Premium account, the Payment Service Fees may be lower on a per transaction basis than if you were using a Freemium account.

11.2 If the Organization fails to make payments under the Subscription Agreement, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate the Services and the Payment Service Fees may automatically revert to the default higher paying fees.

FEES INDEMNITY

11.7 SportsEngine has agreed to indemnify and hold the Payment Processor harmless for some, and in some cases, all of the Organization’s unpaid Payment Processor Fees and other liabilities occurring under Payment Processor Terms. In so far as SportsEngine becomes liable to the Payment Processor or any other third party for any Fees or other liabilities under or in respect of the Payment Processor Terms or this SE Payments Agreement, the Organization shall be liable to pay SportsEngine (on written demand) and indemnify SportsEngine against any and all such liabilities.

11.8 Without prejudice to Condition 12, acting reasonably we will hold funds in reserves in any amount and for any period of time at our discretion, which can be used to set aside any fees relating to Disputes (as defined below), refunds or any other payment obligations that the Organization owes (“Reserve Account”). The Organization agrees that it is:

(b) has no right to direct that account;

(c) has no legal interest in those funds or that account; and,

The Organization is responsible for administering the Disputes and ensuring compliance with any time limits to challenge a Dispute as set by a bank and/or Card Network Issuer from time to time. SportsEngine may provide you with assistance, including notifications and where applicable software to help contest your Disputes, but we do not assume any liability and shall not be liable for any loss incurred to the Organization as a result of such assistance. Where Disputes are raised that cannot be contested as may be mandated by the bank and/or Card Network issuer, including where a Member cardholder revokes their pre-authorized debit, direct debit, ACH payment or similar, then the Organization acknowledges they are still liable for any Transaction Fees incurred and any applicable Dispute Fee (see Condition 11.11), but also that SportsEngine will not be liable for any loss incurred by any such Disputes.

11.10 You grant us permission to share records or other information required with the Member cardholder who has raised a Dispute, the Member cardholder’s financial institution, and your financial institution to help resolve any Dispute. You acknowledge that your failure to provide us with complete and accurate information in a timely manner may result in an irreversible Dispute being assessed.

11.11 If the Member cardholder’s issuing bank or the Card Network issuer does not resolve the Dispute in the Organization’s favor or if the Dispute is not responded to, the Organization is liable to pay back the amount paid by the Member cardholder and applicable Payment Processor Fees, plus a Dispute Fee (the Dispute Fee depends on where the Organization is based and is subject to change at the discretion of SportsEngine without notice, the current rates are: $25 (North America), £/€25 (UK and European Countries) and the equivalent in any other territory worldwide where the Services are available.

11.12 If the Organization believes that SportsEngine has failed to remit any payments owed to the Organization, the Organization must notify SportsEngine in writing within ninety (90) days of the date of such remittance or from the date when the Organization purports such remittance would have been due, specifying in reasonable detail the amounts the Organization believes are owed. The Organization’s failure to so notify SportsEngine shall result in the Organization’s waiver of any claim relating to such disputed remittance. Amounts owed to the Organization shall be calculated solely based on records maintained by SportsEngine, which shall be presumed correct absent manifest error. The Organization shall have no audit rights hereunder.

REFUNDS

11.13 A refund is defined as a payment that has been agreed by the Organization to be refunded or reversed back to the Member cardholder (for whatever reason) (“Refund”).
