If Merchant does not agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions, Merchant may not access or otherwise use or receive the Software, Hardware, and/or Services. By submitting an order form to Heartland, by downloading and using the licensed products Merchant expressly, and/or by pressing : (a) accepts these Terms and Conditions and agrees that it is legally bound by them; and (b) represent and warrant that you have the right, power and authority to agree to these Terms and Conditions on behalf of yourself and Merchant. Without limiting the foregoing, Merchant hereby acknowledges and agrees that it has read these Terms and Conditions and that it is bound to them.
Term and Termination. Heartland will provide the Software, Hardware, and/or Services selected by Merchant or an initial term beginning on the earlier of (i) the execution of the applicable Heartland order form, (ii) the date that Merchant receives delivery of Hardware from Heartland, and (iii) the date that Heartland delivers the applicable log-in credentials to Merchant, and shall continue for on a month to month basis (the “Term”) and shall be cancellable upon receipt of thirty (30) days’ prior written notice by either party hereto. Heartland’s provision of log-in credentials, delivery of Hardware, and or provision of services hereunder shall serve as Heartland’s explicit acceptance of the terms hereof. To the extent that Merchant subscribes to any software solutions including ancillary products and services provided by Heartland (“Ancillary Products”), as identified in the Heartland order form or any amendments thereto, such Ancillary Products shall be provided to Merchant on a month-to-month basis and shall be cancellable upon receipt of thirty (30) days’ prior written notice by either party hereto. For the avoidance of doubt, Merchant’s subscription to, and subsequent cancellation of, any Ancillary Products, shall not affect the Term with respect to the Software, Hardware, and/or Services.
Payment. Heartland will collect payment via Merchant’s established payment method for the monthly fee set forth on the Heartland order form (the “Fee”) each month for the Fees incurred by Merchant during the immediately-preceding month. A decline fee in the amount of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) may be assessed for any declined transaction. A late fee in the amount of forty-five dollars ($45.00) will be charged for any month the Fee is not received by Heartland within ten days (10) after the date due for that month. If the established method of payment fails for any reason to pay the fees in full, Heartland will use any other available account or charge card information on file to settle the payment, including by offsetting settlement funds due to Merchant under its Merchant Processing Agreement with Heartland. Any delinquent payments will be collected immediately. Merchant agrees that Heartland is not obligated to provide Services if Merchant’s account is delinquent. Heartland may terminate the Agreement immediately and deactivate access to the Software and/or Hardware, as applicable, if Merchant’s account is more than sixty (60) days delinquent.
Use of Software, Hardware, and/or Services. Merchant will use all applicable Software, Hardware, and Services only as intended and in the ordinary course of business operation at the location set forth on the Heartland order form. Merchant will maintain broadband internet service, at Merchant’s expense, throughout the Term of the Agreement. The Agreement does not provide or include the cost of broadband Internet service, which is the sole responsibility of Merchant. The Fees do not cover, and Heartland is not responsible for, replacement or repair of materials such as printer paper, ink, batteries or other consumables, any hardware or software not provided by Heartland with and as part of the Software, Hardware, or Services, or cosmetic damage of the Hardware.
Software. Merchant’s use of the Software is subject to that certain End User License Agreement (“EULA”) attached hereto. By utilizing the Software, Merchant expressly acknowledges that it has read the EULA and agrees to the terms thereof. If Merchant does not agree to the terms of the EULA, Customer should not use the Software. Heartland will provide Software maintenance, including new versions, updates and bug fixes to the Software as Heartland in its sole discretion deems reasonably necessary. Such new versions, updates and bug fixes shall be provided by Heartland at no additional charge on an when and if available basis. The Software is, and will at all times be and remain, the sole and exclusive property of Heartland. Merchant will have no right, title or interest in the Software except for use in the operation and ordinary course of business as set forth in the Agreement and the EULA during the Term.
Hardware.
Purchasing Hardware from Heartland: Merchant may choose to buy Hardware from or through Heartland as further specified on the applicable order form. Unless otherwise specifically stated in the documentation provided with the Hardware, Heartland provides a one year warranty beginning on the date of shipment on all Heartland supplied serialized Hardware that such Hardware shall be free from faulty workmanship and defects in materials (“Heartland Hardware Warranty”). Hardware covered by the Heartland Hardware Warranty will be replaced at no cost to the Merchant during the applicable warranty period. However, Hardware sold to Merchant by or through Heartland and sent back to Heartland, but not covered under the Heartland Hardware Warranty (including, but not limited to, Heartland supplied and sold Hardware damaged by fire, lightning, water damage) will be replaced and billed to Merchant as a new purchase at then current rates. After the warranty period, Heartland will replace such Hardware and repair damaged Hardware at Merchant’s sole cost and expense. If Hardware is damaged by the negligence or the willful acts or omissions of Merchant, its employees, agents or customers during the applicable warranty period, Merchant will be charged for Hardware repairs or replacements. If Hardware purchased from Heartland is returned within sixty (60) days of purchase in Original Condition, Heartland will refund the difference less a restocking fee of $30 for new or used repair/replacement Hardware. “Original Condition” means Hardware that has not been used to process transactions, other than to test the Hardware prior to deployment for general use. Heartland will not accept returned Hardware after sixty (60) days of purchase or Hardware not in Original Condition.
Renting Hardware from Heartland: Merchant may choose to rent Hardware from Heartland. Merchant is liable for all rental payments due hereunder. Rental privileges shall last as long as Merchant continues to remit timely rental payments and complies with its agreements with Heartland. Rented Hardware is the personal property of Heartland and will not be deemed for any purpose to be fixtures. Heartland shall have the right to affix or attach to all rented Hardware a tag or label indicating its ownership of, or interest in, said Hardware. Merchant will not remove, or permit the removal of, any such tag or label. Merchant will not sell, lease, encumber, or otherwise dispose of any interest in any rented Hardware and will keep it free of all liens, claims or encumbrances whatsoever. Rental Hardware will be replaced at no expense to Merchant if the Hardware becomes inoperable through no fault of Merchant, its employees, agents or customers. However, if the repair of rental Hardware is due to damage caused by the negligence or the willful acts or omissions of Merchants, its employees, agents or customers, Merchant will be charged for the repairs. Merchant will not be liable for ordinary wear and tear of Hardware. However, Merchant will be liable for the full cost of the Hardware in the event the Hardware is lost, destroyed or made inoperative. Merchant will indemnify Heartland against any loss or destruction of any Hardware for any cause whatsoever, excepting the negligence of Heartland. Merchant shall pay the monthly rental price indicated on the order form. All Heartland owned Hardware must be returned to Heartland at the expense of the Merchant and rental billing will continue until Hardware is received by Heartland. If rented Hardware malfunctions and Heartland issues a replacement for said Hardware, Merchant shall, within ten (10) days of receipt of the replacement Hardware, ship the malfunctioning Hardware to Heartland at Merchant’s expense. If Merchant fails to so return the malfunctioning Hardware to Heartland, Merchant shall be liable for the full replacement value of said Hardware and for any legal cost incurred by Heartland in connection with recovery of the malfunctioning Hardware. Merchant’s designated account will be debited for all amounts due Heartland for unreturned Hardware.
Risk of Loss. HEARTLAND DOES NOT GUARANTEE THE ABSENCE OF, AND THE AGREEMENT DOES NOT ENSURE OR COVER, ANY ERRORS, DEFECTS, OR DAMAGE TO ANY HARDWARE, SOFTWARE, OR DATA GENERATED BY THE SOFTWARE AND/OR HARDWARE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER INSTALLED, REPLACED, OR REPAIRED BY HEARTLAND, DEALER, OR OTHERWISE. MERCHANT WILL REVIEW ALL INFORMATION AND ENSURE THAT MERCHANT’S WAGE, TRANSACTION, TAX RATE AND OTHER DATA IS ENTERED CORRECTLY AND ACCURATELY AND THAT THE DATA AND RESULTS GENERATED BY THE SOFTWARE AND/OR HARDWARE IS ACCURATE. WHEN PROVIDING REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT SERVICE, HEARTLAND WILL USE REASONABLE EFFORTS TO REINSTALL THE HARDWARE’S PRIOR SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION BUT WILL NOT PROVIDE ANY RECOVERY OR TRANSFER OF SOFTWARE OR DATA NOT ORIGINALLY INCLUDED WITH AND AS PART OF THE HARDWARE AND/OR SOFTWARE. MERCHANT AGREES THAT HEARTLAND MAY INSTALL NEWER VERSIONS, UPDATES, OR FIXES OF THE SOFTWARE THAN WERE INSTALLED ON MERCHANT’S HARDWARE PRIOR TO ANY REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT.
Limitation of Liability. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, HEARTLAND DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND FOR THE SOFTWARE, HARDWARE, AND SERVICES PROVIDED UNDER THE AGREEMENT. ANY AND ALL SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE ARE PROVIDED AS-IS. HEARTLAND SPECIFICALLY DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT IT WILL BE ABLE TO (i) REPAIR OR REPLACE ANY HARDWARE WITHOUT RISK TO OR LOSS OF PROGRAMS OR DATA, OR (ii) MAINTAIN THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF ANY MERCHANT DATA. HEARTLAND’S LIABILITY UNDER THE AGREEMENT UNDER ANY THEORY OF LAW WHATSOEVER IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNTS PAID BY MERCHANT TO HEARTLAND IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS PRECEDING THE DATE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. IN NO EVENT SHALL HEARTLAND HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF USE OF EQUIPMENT OR FACILITIES, INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS OR THE DISCLOSURE OR FAILURE TO MAINTAIN THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF DATA OR ARISING IN ANY WAY FROM THIS PLAN UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER OR NOT HEARTLAND HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.
Default. Any Merchant default, including any failure to pay the Fees when due or declaration of bankruptcy, will not relieve Merchant from its obligation to pay all Fees as they come due or any other obligation under the Agreement. If Merchant fails to pay any Fees or other amount due within fifteen (15) days after the same is due and payable or to perform any other obligation under this Agreement, Heartland may: (i) terminate the Agreement immediately; (ii) take possession of the Hardware (if any), and/or (iii) deactivate and shut down operation of the Software and/or Hardware remotely. Heartland may exercise these rights without demand or notice, wherever located, and without court order or other process of law. Merchant grants Heartland any license, permission or other grant or right necessary to enter and be upon the premises where the Hardware and/or Software is located in order to effect its possession under this section. Merchant waives any and all damages occasioned by such taking of possession. These remedies are cumulative, and may be exercised concurrently or separately.
Credit Disclosure and Additional Documents. Heartland’s performance under the Agreement is conditioned upon Merchant’s creditworthiness in Heartland’s sole discretion. Merchant also agrees to provide additional representations and authorizations, including those necessary to Heartland UCC financing statements, as needed to perfect Heartland’s proof of ownership of the Hardware.
Merchant Responsibilities. Merchant is solely responsible for knowing all laws, rules and regulations applicable to its use of the Software, Hardware, and Services and will at all times strictly comply with such laws, rules and regulations. Merchant shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Heartland, its officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates from and against all claims, actions or demands, losses or liabilities, including without limitation any attorney’s fees and costs, made by any third party in connection with Merchant’s breach of applicable law, rule, or regulation.

Merchant may not assign or transfer the Agreement, either directly, indirectly or by operation of law, without Heartland’s prior written consent. The Agreement shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State of Georgia, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws principles thereof. Any suit, action or proceeding (collectively “action”) arising out of or relating to the Agreement shall be brought only in the Superior Court of the State of Georgia, County of Muscogee, or the United States District Court for the Middle District of Georgia. Merchant hereby agrees and consents to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of said courts over it as to all such actions and Merchant further waives any claim that such action is brought in an improper or inconvenient forum. In any such action, the parties waive trial by jury. In any judicial proceeding arising out of or relating to the Agreement, the prevailing party shall recover, in addition to all damages awarded, all court costs, fees and expense of experts and reasonable attorneys’ fees.

No modification of the Agreement will be binding unless in writing and signed by the parties.

At your option, you may instruct Heartland to share Licensee Data with an Integrator, and/or you may instruct an Integrator to share Licensee Data with Heartland.

Without limiting your other obligations under this EULA, to the extent you permit or authorize any third-party, including without limitation any Integrator, to access, interface with, or otherwise engage with the Licensed Products in any respect (“Third Party Access”), you assume complete responsibility for any liability arising out or in connection with such Third Party Access.

Data Collection & Use
You unconditionally accept and acknowledge that Licensor may collect, use, sell, transfer and disclose non-identifying customer data, and information about your and your customers’ use of the Licensed Products, Licensed Materials, and/or third party services, including Integrator services, when such services are installed and used by you in conjunction with the Licensed Products. As used herein, “non-identifying data” means data that does not identify an individual. As used in this paragraph, “transfer” includes transmission by Licensor or the SAAS solution to a third party, another software agent or hardware device. Licensor may aggregate and anonymize your customer data or traffic and usage data with similar data of other third parties (collectively, “Aggregated Data”) and use or disclose such Aggregated Data for a variety of purposes, including but not limited to monitoring and improving the performance, features and functionality of the Services for purposes of conducting industry trend analysis, describing Licensor’s services to prospective partners and other third parties, or for any other lawful purposes determined by Licensor. For the avoidance of doubt, Licensor owns all right, title, and interest in and to the Aggregated Data. Licensor may also disclose Licensee Data if required to do so by law, legal process, litigation and/or requests from governmental authorities.
Additionally, Licensor may collect, use, transfer and disclose identifying data and information about your employees who access, interface with or otherwise engage with the Licensed Products. As used in this EULA, “identifying data” means data that does identify an individual, and includes, but is not limited to your employees’ first and last names, schedules and transaction and other financial data. Additionally, Licensor may aggregate and anonymize such identifying data, in which event such data shall be considered “Aggregated Data” and may be used and disclosed by Licensor as set forth herein.
In addition, Licensor reserves the right to disclose, share and/or otherwise transfer Aggregated Data in connection with a corporate merger, acquisition, consolidation, the sale of a portion of Licensor’s business or the sale of substantially all of Licensor’s assets, or other fundamental corporate change, whatever form it may take.
For purposes of the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), Licensor will not retain, use, or disclose the “personal information” (as defined in the CCPA) contained in Licensee Data for any purpose other than for performing the services specified in this EULA or as otherwise permitted by the CCPA. Licensor shall not “sell” (as defined in the CCPA) the personal information contained in Licensee Data. Licensor certifies that it understands the requirements of the CCPA with regard to the personal information contained in the Licensee Data and will comply with them.
Security
Licensor implements security procedures to help protect Licensee Data from security attacks. However, you understand that use of the Licensed Products necessarily involves transmission of Licensee Data over networks or in connection with Integrators that are not owned, operated or controlled by us, and Licensor is not responsible for any of the Licensee Data lost, altered, intercepted or stored across such networks or Integrators. Licensor cannot guarantee that its security procedures will be error-free, that transmissions of Licensee Data will always be secure or that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat Licensor’s security measures or those of Licensor’s third party service providers.
Confidentiality.
“Confidential Information” means all information disclosed by a party (“Disclosing Party”) to the other party (“Receiving Party”), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information of Licensor includes the Licensed Product, the Licensed Materials and the terms and conditions of this EULA. Confidential Information does not include any information that the Receiving Party can demonstrate (i) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (ii) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (iii) is received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, or (iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of or reference to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. The Receiving Party will use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but not less than reasonable care) (i) not to use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of this EULA, and (ii) except as otherwise authorized by the Disclosing Party in writing, to limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its and its affiliates’ employees and contractors who need that access for purposes consistent with this EULA and who have signed confidentiality agreements with or are otherwise subject to enforceable obligations to the Receiving Party that contain protections no less stringent than those herein. Neither party will disclose the terms of this EULA or the Merchant Agreements to any third party other than its affiliates, legal counsel and accountants without the other party’s prior written consent, provided that a party that makes any such disclosure to its Affiliate, legal counsel or accountants will remain responsible for such Affiliate’s, legal counsel’s or accountant’s compliance with this “Confidentiality” section. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the extent compelled by law to do so, provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of the compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party's cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as part of a civil proceeding to which the Disclosing Party is a party, and the Disclosing Party is not contesting the disclosure, the Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing secure access to that Confidential Information. Each party understands and agrees that, notwithstanding any other provision of this EULA, breach of this Confidentiality provision may cause the other party irreparable damage for which recovery of money damages would be inadequate, and that each party shall therefore be entitled to seek, from a court of competent jurisdiction, timely injunctive relief to protect such party’s rights under this EULA in addition to any and all remedies available at law.
