Neither Kajabi nor Kajabi Financial is obligated to, nor will, determine whether Taxes apply, or calculate, collect, report, or remit any Taxes to any tax authority, arising from any Transaction. We retain the right, but not the obligation, at our sole discretion, to complete and file tax or related reports with tax authorities regarding Transactions in those jurisdictions where we deem such reporting necessary. You hereby indemnify and hold all Kajabi Entities harmless from and against all liability related to Taxes and filings made by any Kajabi Entity in respect thereof.

From time to time, Kajabi Financial may (at its sole discretion) invite you to use, on a trial basis, pre-release or beta features that are in development and not yet available to all Heroes (“Beta Services”). Beta Services may be subject to specific terms, which will be provided to you before your use of the Beta Services.

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 our Privacy Notice.

If you receive information about others, including cardholders and other customers, through the use of Kajabi Payments, you must keep such information confidential and only use it in connection with Kajabi Payments or as otherwise permitted by the subject of such information.

You may not disclose or distribute any such information to a third party or use any such information for marketing purposes unless you receive the express consent of the subject thereof to do so.

Further, we may deduct, or request that the Processor deduct, from any accounts associated with your Kajabi Payments Account any amounts that you owe to us under these Kajabi Payments Terms or any other agreement you have entered into with us or our affiliates.

Additionally, we may require a personal guarantee from a principal of a business for funds owed under these Kajabi Payments Terms. If we require a personal guarantee we will specifically inform you in advance.

In addition to the amount due, delinquent accounts may be charged with fees that are incidental to the collection of delinquent accounts and chargebacks, including, but not limited to, collection fees and convenience fees, and other third-party charges.

You hereby explicitly agree that all communication about delinquent accounts will be made by electronic mail or by phone, as provided to Kajabi Financial by you. Such communication may be made by Kajabi Financial or by anyone on its behalf, including, but not limited to, a third-party collection agent.

3.4. Reserves. Funds held in reserves are amounts of money set aside to cover chargebacks, refunds, or other payment obligations under these Kajabi Payments Terms (“Reserve”). We, at our sole discretion, will set the terms of your Reserve and notify you of such terms, which may require that a certain amount (including the full amount) of the funds received for a Transaction are held for a period of time, or that additional amounts are held in the Reserve. We, in our sole discretion, may elect to change the terms of the Reserve at any time, for any reason.

We may require you to fund the Reserve by means of: (i) any funds payouts made or due to you for Transactions submitted to Kajabi Payments; or, (ii) amounts available in your bank account by means of ACH debit to your Kajabi Payments Account; or, (iii) other sources of funds associated with your Kajabi Payments Account; or, (iv) requesting that you provide funds to us for deposit to the Reserve. In accordance with the Processor Terms you authorize us to debit your bank account without separate notice, and according to the applicable User Bank Account Debit Authorization (as defined in the Processor Terms), to collect amounts you owe under this Agreement.

You agree that: (i) you are not entitled to any interest or other compensation associated with the funds held in the Reserve; (ii) you have no right to the Reserve; (iii) you have no legal interest in those funds or the Reserve; and (iv) you may not assign any interest in those funds or the Reserve.

3.5. Contesting Chargebacks. You or Kajabi may elect to contest chargebacks assessed to your Kajabi Payments Account. Kajabi Financial may provide you with assistance, including notifications and software to help contest your chargebacks. We do not assume any liability for our role or assistance in contesting chargebacks. We reserve the right, upon notice to you, to charge a fee for mediating or investigating chargeback disputes.

You permit us to share records or other information required with the cardholder, the cardholder’s financial institution, and your financial institution to help resolve any chargeback. You acknowledge that your failure to provide us with complete and accurate information promptly may result in an irreversible chargeback being assessed.

If the cardholder’s issuing bank or the Payment Network does not resolve a dispute in your favor, we may recover the chargeback amount and any associated fees from you as described in these Kajabi Payments Terms.

4. Termination & Other General Legal Terms.

4.1 Term.  These Kajabi Payments Terms are effective upon the date you agree to them (by electronically indicating acceptance) and continue so long as you use Kajabi Payments or until terminated by you or Kajabi Financial. 

4.2. Termination.  You may terminate these Kajabi Payments Terms by closing your Kajabi Payments Account at any time through your Kajabi Admin. We may terminate these Kajabi Payments Terms and close your Kajabi Payments Account at any time, for any reason, in our sole discretion, upon notice to you per Section 1.16. 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, including if: (i) we determine that you may be ineligible for Kajabi Payments because of the risk associated with your Kajabi Payments Account, including, without limitation, significant credit or fraud risk, or for any other reason; (ii) you do not comply with any of the provisions of these Kajabi Payment terms or the Processor Terms; or, (iii) upon request of the Payment Network, the Processor, or a card issuer. Termination of the Processor Terms may, in our sole discretion, result in a termination of these Kajabi Payments Terms. Termination of these Kajabi Payments Terms shall entitle Kajabi 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.

4.3. Effects of Termination.  Upon termination and closing of your Kajabi Payments Account, we will immediately discontinue your access to Kajabi Payments. You agree to complete all pending Transactions, immediately remove all logos associated with the Payment Networks, and stop accepting new Transactions through Kajabi Payments. You will not be refunded the remainder of any Fees that you have paid for Kajabi Payments Payments if your access to or use of Kajabi Payments is terminated or suspended. 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 these Kajabi Payments Terms will not necessarily terminate your Kajabi Platform Terms, unless Kajabi determines otherwise.

Upon termination you agree: (i) to immediately cease your use of Kajabi Payments; (ii) to discontinue use of any Kajabi or Processor trademarks and to immediately remove any Kajabi or Processor references and logos from your website and/or physical location, if applicable; (iii) that the license granted under these Kajabi Payments Terms shall end; (iv) that we reserve the right (but have no obligation) to delete all of your information and account data stored on our servers; (v) that we will not be liable to you for compensation, reimbursement, or damages in connection with your use of Kajabi Payments, or any termination or suspension of Kajabi Payments, or deletion of your information or account data; and, (vi) that you will still be liable to us for any fees or fines, or other financial obligation incurred by you or through your use of Kajabi Payments prior to termination.

4.5 Your Liability and Indemnification Concerning Liabilities. Nothing in these Kajabi Payments Terms shall serve to diminish your liability under the Processor Terms or Kajabi Platform Terms. You are obliged to fulfill your obligations under these Kajabi Payments Terms and those under the Processor Terms and Kajabi Platform Terms.

Kajabi Financial has agreed to indemnify and hold the Processor harmless for some, and, in some cases, all of your liabilities occurring under the Processor Terms, including, but not limited to, disputes (including, but not limited to, chargebacks), refunds, reversals, returns and fines (as such terms are defined in the Processor Terms). Insofar as Kajabi Financial becomes liable to the Processor or any other third party for any penalties, fines, fees, or other liabilities under or in respect of the Processor Terms, Kajabi Payments, or the Payment Network Rules, you agree to indemnify and hold Kajabi harmless from and against any and all such liabilities.

You agree to indemnify and defend all Kajabi Entities against any claim, suit, demand, loss, liability, damage, action, or proceeding (each, a “Claim”) brought by a third party against any Kajabi Entity, and you agree to fully reimburse the Kajabi Entities for any Claims that result from: (i) your breach of any provision of these Kajabi Payments Terms; (ii) any fees, fines, penalties, disputes, reversals, returns, chargebacks (as such terms are defined in the Processor Terms), or any other liability we incur that results from your use of Kajabi Payments; (iii) negligent or willful misconduct of your owners, employees, contractors, or agents; (iv) contractual or other relationships between you and your customers; or, (v) third-party indemnity obligations we incur as a direct or indirect result of your acts or omissions, including, but not limited to, indemnification of the Processor or any Payment Network.

We will have the final decision-making authority with respect to Claims, including, without limitation, claims for refunds for purchased items that are filed with us by you or your customers. You will be required to reimburse us for your liability. Your liability will include the full purchase price of the item plus the original shipping cost (and in some cases you may not receive the item back). You will not receive a refund of any Fees paid to us.

If you are liable for any amounts owed to us, we may immediately remove such amounts from your Reserve and deduct the amounts owed to us from such Reserve funds. If you do not have sufficient funds in the Reserve to cover your liability, you will be required to immediately add additional funds to your Reserve to cover funds owed to us. If you do not do so, we may engage in collections efforts to recover such amounts from you at your cost and expense.

The Payments Services are controlled and operated from facilities in the United States. We make no representations that the Payments Services are appropriate or available for use in other locations. Those who access or use the Payments Services from other jurisdictions do so at their own volition and are entirely responsible for compliance with all applicable United States, foreign and local laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, export and import regulations. You may not use the Payments Services if you are a sanctioned individual or legal entity or a resident of a sanctioned country embargoed by Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, or the United States.

4.9 Disputes, Choice of Law, Jurisdiction, Venue & Miscellaneous. If you have a concern, we want the opportunity to address it without needing a formal legal case. Before filing a claim against Kajabi, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting legal@kajabi.com. We’ll try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting you via email.

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 doesn’t affect those requirements.

‍IF YOU’RE A U.S. RESIDENT, 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. This includes disputes arising from or relating to the interpretation or application of this “Mandatory Arbitration Provisions” section, including its enforceability, revocability, or validity.
  • ‍Opt-out of Agreement to Arbitrate.  You may decline these arbitration terms with respect to these Kajabi Payments Terms within thirty (30) days of first registering your Kajabi Payments Account by contacting us at legal@kajabi.com.
  • ‍Arbitration Procedures.  The American Arbitration Association (AAA) will administer the arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes. The arbitration will be held in the United States county where you live or work, Orange County, CA, or any other location we agree to. The AAA rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees. The AAA Rules and Forms are available online at www.adr.org, or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.

  • ‍Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate.  Either you or Kajabi Financial may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in Orange County, CA, or any United States county where you live or work. Either party may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Kajabi Payments or intellectual property infringement (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute-resolution process described above. If the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to you or your claim, you agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in Orange County, California to resolve your claim.
  • ‍NO CLASS ACTIONS.  You may only resolve disputes with us individually. You may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations aren’t allowed. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then this “Mandatory Arbitration Provisions” paragraph will be deemed void.

‍These Kajabi Payments Terms will be governed by California law except for its conflicts of laws principles.
