If these amounts are not sufficient to meet your obligations to us, we may charge the payment method associated with your Kajabi Payments Account for any amounts owed to us. Your failure to fully pay the amounts that you owe us on demand will be a breach of these Kajabi Payments Terms. You will be liable for our costs associated with collection in addition to the amount owed, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses, costs of any arbitration or court proceeding, collection agency fees, and any applicable interest.

We may suspend your Kajabi Payments Account and your access to Kajabi Payments and any rights in respect of your Kajabi Payments Account, or terminate these Kajabi Payments Terms, at any time, for any reason. If your Processor Terms are terminated, Kajabi Financial may terminate these Kajabi Payments Terms at its sole discretion. Termination of these Kajabi Payments Terms shall entitle Kajabi Financial to cause the Processor to terminate the Processor Terms.
If the Processor terminates the Processor Terms or indicates its intention to do so, or if you elect to cease processing with such Processor, we have the right, but not the obligation, to offer you a substitute payment processor that is integrated with your Kajabi Payments Account. Upon your acceptance of the terms of service of any such substitute payment processor, they shall be deemed to have replaced the Processor contemplated herein, provided that your liabilities to the Processor herein shall not be diminished on account of accepting the terms of the substitute payment processor.

Any funds in the Financial Services Provider’s custody will be paid out to you subject to the terms of your Payout Schedule (as defined in the Processor Terms).
Termination does not relieve you of your obligations as defined in these Kajabi Payments Terms, and the Processor may elect to continue to hold any funds deemed necessary, pending resolution of any other terms or obligations defined in these Kajabi Payments Terms, including, but not limited to, chargebacks, fees, refunds, or other investigations or proceedings.
Termination of your Kajabi Payments Account will not necessarily terminate your Kajabi Platform Account unless Kajabi determines otherwise (at its sole discretion).

Appropriate fields are marked with labels such as ‘card number’ or by having a credit card icon precede them. Similarly, excluding payment forms, you must never collect or enter any “Sensitive Authentication Data”, as defined by the PCI Standards (including CVC or CVV2) into any fields in Kajabi Payments. You assume all responsibility for any Cardholder Data entered into Kajabi Payments in violation of these Kajabi Payments Terms.

You also acknowledge that the Processor is required to report your business name and the name of your principals to the Member Alert to Control High-Risk merchants list of MasterCard (“MATCH List”) maintained by MasterCard and accessed and updated by American Express, to the VMAS database upheld by Visa Europe, and/or to the Consortium Merchant Negative File maintained by Discover, if applicable, under the requirements of the Payment Network Rules. Additionally, you agree that Kajabi’s and Kajabi Financial’s collection, use, retention, and disclosure of personal information is subject to the Kajabi Data Protection Addendum (the “DPA”).
You acknowledge that we are relying on you for direction as to the extent to which we are entitled to use and process the Customer Data that you provide us with. Consequently, we will not be liable for any claim brought by a data subject arising from any action or omission by us, to the extent that such action or omission resulted from your instruction.
You consent to the exchange of your information between your Kajabi Platform Services account established under these Kajabi Platform Terms and your Kajabi Payments account established under these Kajabi Payments Terms.

Further, you represent that we will not be in breach of any such laws by collecting, receiving, using, and disclosing such information in connection with Kajabi Payments as described in Kajabi's Privacy Policy. As between the parties to these Kajabi Payments Terms, you are solely responsible for disclosing to your Customers that we will collect and process their Customer Data in our supply of Kajabi Payments to you, and that in so doing we may transmit or possess it outside of your or their jurisdiction, and that it may be subject to disclosure as required by applicable law.

You are hereby granting us authorization to share information with law enforcement about you, your Transactions, or your Kajabi Payments Account.

8.2. Judicial Forum for Disputes. You and Kajabi Financial agree that any judicial proceeding to resolve claims relating to these Kajabi Payments Terms or Kajabi Payments will be brought in the federal or state courts of Orange County, California, subject to the mandatory arbitration provisions below. Both you and Kajabi Financial consent to venue and personal jurisdiction in such courts. If you reside in a country (for example, a member state of the European Union) with laws that give consumers the right to bring disputes in their local courts, this paragraph does not affect those requirements.
8.3. MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISIONS. YOU ALSO AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISIONS:
We Both Agree to Arbitrate. You and Kajabi Financial agree to resolve any claims relating to these Kajabi Payments Terms or Kajabi Payments through final and binding arbitration by a single arbitrator, except as set forth under Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate below.

Opt-out of Agreement to Arbitrate. You may decline these arbitration terms concerning these Kajabi Payments Terms within thirty (30) days of first registering your Kajabi Payments account by contacting us at legal@kajabi.com.

The Processor or any applicable Financial Services Provider may deliver or hold any funds or any Data as required under such Legal Process, even if you are receiving funds or Data on behalf of other parties. Where permitted by law, we will make reasonable efforts to provide you notice of such Legal Process by sending a copy to the email address we have on file for you.
