Any fees not paid when due may incur late payment fee equal to the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum amount allowed by law.</p>

We will refund you all of the subscription charges if you cancel within this time period. You will not receive a refund for items not included in the baseline monthly subscription fee (including activation fees, postcards, chargebacks, etc.).

<p>Taxes – Sales &amp; Use</p>
<p>To protect our customers and comply with all local laws, we will collect and remit sales tax where required. Not all states enforce sales tax on products and services like Housecall Pro, so you may not be affected.</p>
<p><strong>PAYMENT PROCESSING TERMS OF SERVICE</strong></p>
<p>You have the option of taking advantage of our payment processing offering (“Housecall Pro Payments”) to process your customers’ payments via credit or debit card or ACH, subject to our approval of your eligibility for such offerings. Such offerings are subject to certain fees as disclosed to you at the time of sign up. By using Housecall Pro Payments, you acknowledge and agree that we may use third party payment processors or other service providers (“Third Party Payment Processors”) and that the terms and privacy policies of any such Third Party Payment Processors are applicable to you. We currently use Stripe as our payment processor. By registering for or using Housecall Pro Payments, you agree to be bound by the <a href="https://stripe.com/ssa" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stripe Services Agreement</a> and <a href="https://stripe.com/connect-account/legal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stripe Connected Account Agreement,</a> and any other terms contained therein. Housecall Pro is not liable for the acts or omissions of any third party, including any Third Party Payment Processor. See below for additional terms and conditions regarding your access to and use of Housecall Pro Payments.</p>
<p>Card Not Present</p>
<p>You acknowledge that all payment or financial card (“Card”) transactions (except those conducted using card readers provided by us) are processed as “card not present” transactions, even where the consumer is at the physical point of sale and a consumer has different Chargeback rights for “card not present” transactions than for transactions where the buyer physically presents the card to the seller.</p>
<p>Underwriting</p>
<p>We will review some or all of the information that you submit in connection with your request to sign up for Housecall Pro Payments. We may forward such information to Third Party Payment Processors. After you submit your application, we or our payment processor may conclude that you will not be permitted to use the Service.</p>
<p>Payment Processing Transaction and Account Reviews</p>
<p>From time to time, and in our sole discretion, we review account and transaction activity, including when bank transfers are initiated, to evaluate your eligibility, or continued eligibility, to access our processing and other financial related product offerings. This review checks for, among other things, suspicious or illegal activity, and whether your account activity and the activity of users with whom you’ve transacted comply with this Agreement. In connection with our review process, you may be required to provide us with additional information and/or documentation to verify your identity, business information, or financial standing. We also may obtain information from third parties, including but not limited to consumers and banks, and we may contact your customers to obtain relevant information. We may limit your account and your access to money in it or that is sent to you until verification is completed.</p>
<p>Reviews may result in:</p>
<p>– delayed, blocked or canceled transfers;</p>
<p>– money or payments being held by us;</p>
<p>– money or payments being applied to amounts you owe to us or used to offset loss incurred by us;</p>
<p>– account limitation, suspension or termination;</p>
<p>– money or payments being seized to comply with a court order, warrant or other legal process; and/or</p>
<p>– money or payments you previously received being reversed (i.e., sent back to the sender or to the card or bank account that was used to fund the payment).</p>
<p>Among other reasons, we may take the above actions if you knowingly or unknowingly were a participant in a payment that was made from a stolen card, compromised bank account, or compromised Housecall Pro account, or if you were a participant in a transaction for goods and services between two personal accounts.</p>
<p>Transaction Limits</p>
<p>We may impose various transaction limits and rules on Pros. If you believe that the transaction limits are interfering with your business, please contact our support to request higher limits. We may require more information about your business to evaluate your request and will decide at our sole discretion whether to honor such requests. We will consider a variety of factors in making our decision, including but not limited to a proprietary set of rules, Chargeback rates, transaction behavior, and other supplemental data about your business.</p>
<p>Restrictions on Certain Transactions</p>
<p>You may not use Card transactions for activities unrelated to the activities described in your Business Profile. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you may not use Card transactions for shipping products, for selling products not related to on-site work in the business described in your Business Profile, for making or receiving payments on loans, for cash advances, or for transactions involving motor vehicles.</p>
<p>Payment Processing Fees</p>
<p>You agree to pay payment processing or other transaction-related fees (“Fees”) in addition to our subscription fee. We reserve the right to change our Fees at any time in our sole discretion.</p>
<p>Access to Your Funds</p>
<p>We will deposit to your bank account (defined as the bank account as specified in your Housecall Pro account) the amounts actually received by us for transactions submitted through the Service (less any applicable Fees and any money that you owe Housecall Pro). We reserve the right to revise our payout schedule. Once your US bank account information is verified, we will automatically initiate a payout to your designated bank account at the end of every business day except as provided below. Payouts to your bank account will normally register within 2-3 business days subject to your bank’s policies. We may offer you the ability to direct funds to multiple accounts.</p>
<p>Funds for any given transaction will not be deposited until the transaction is deemed complete. Transactions will be deemed complete when we or the designated financial institutions have accepted the transaction or funds. We will attempt to rectify processing errors that we discover, and may withhold funds pending our investigation of any such errors. You are responsible for monitoring your transactions and ensuring that our payments to you are correct. You must notify us of any errors in payments made to you within sixty (60) days of the error first appearing on your electronic transaction history, and failure to do so will be deemed a waiver of any right to amounts owed to you. However, notification within such sixty (60) day period does not ensure that any such error will be able to be corrected.</p>
<p>Restrictions on Availability of Funds</p>
<p>Should we need to conduct an investigation or resolve any suspicious activity or pending dispute related to a Pro account, we may delay payout or restrict access to your funds for the entire time it takes for us to do so. We also may delay payout or restrict access to your funds as required by law or court order, or if otherwise requested by law enforcement or governmental entities.</p>
<p>Chargebacks</p>
<p>The amount of a transaction may be reversed or charged back to your bank account (a “Chargeback”) if the transaction (a) is disputed, (b) is reversed for any reason by the Card Associations (defined below), our processor, or a payer’s or our financial institution, (c) was not authorized or we have any reason to believe that the transaction was not authorized, or (d) is allegedly unlawful, suspicious, or in violation of the terms of this Agreement.</p>
<p>There is a non-refundable $25 fee for each Chargeback regardless of the outcome of the dispute.</p>
<p>Contesting Chargebacks; Our Collection Rights for Chargebacks. For any transaction that results in a Chargeback, we may withhold the Chargeback amount in a Reserve (defined below). In the event a consumer charges back a payment that we have processed and caused funds to be delivered to your account, our payment processor Stripe may withhold or take back such amounts while the charge is in dispute. In such event, if your account does not have sufficient funds, we may be required to advance such funds to Stripe on your behalf. If this occurs, you agree that we are entitled to be reimbursed by you immediately, and that your sole remedy lies with your customer and your customer’s bank. We may deduct the amount of any Chargeback and any associated fees, fines, or penalties assessed by the card-issuing bank or organization (“Card Association”) or our processor from your bank account (including without limitation any Reserve), from any proceeds due to you, your bank account, or from any other payment instruments registered with us. If you have pending Chargebacks, we may delay payouts to your bank account. Further, if we reasonably believe that a Chargeback is likely with respect to any transaction, we may withhold the amount of the potential Chargeback from payments otherwise due to you under this Agreement until such time that (a) a Chargeback is assessed due to a customer’s complaint, in which case we will retain the funds, (b) the period of time under applicable law or regulation by which the customer may dispute that the transaction has expired or (c) we determine that a Chargeback on the transaction will not occur. If we are unable to recover funds related to a Chargeback for which you are liable, you will pay us the full amount of the Chargeback immediately upon demand. You agree to pay all costs and expenses, including without limitation attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses, incurred by or on behalf of us in connection with the collection of all the Pros account deficit balances unpaid by you.</p>
<p>Any bank account or Card information may be held by Housecall Pro in order to satisfy any account balances, disputes, refunds, Chargebacks or other liabilities or obligations after leaving or terminating the Service.</p>
<p>Excessive Chargebacks</p>
<p>If we determine, in our sole discretion, that you are incurring an excessive amount of Chargebacks, we may establish controls or conditions governing your account, including without limitation, by (a) establishing new processing Fees, (b) creating a Reserve in an amount reasonably determined by us to cover anticipated Chargebacks and related fees, (c) delaying payouts and (d) terminating or suspending your access to the Service.</p>
<p>Reserve</p>
<p>If we have reasonable suspicion of misuse, we may temporarily suspend or delay payments to you and/or designate an amount of funds that we must maintain in a separate reserve account (a “Reserve”) to secure the performance of your payment obligations under this Agreement. We may require a Reserve for any reason, including if you have a high rate of Chargebacks or refunds, or other indications of performance problems related to your use of the Service. The Reserve will be in an amount as reasonably determined by us to cover anticipated Chargebacks, returns, unshipped merchandise and/or unfulfilled products or services or credit risk based on your processing history or such amount designated by our processor. The Reserve may be raised, reduced or removed at any time by us, in our sole discretion, based on your payment history, a credit review, the amount of any arbitration award or court judgment against you in our favor, or otherwise as we or our processor may determine or require. If you do not have sufficient funds in your Reserve, we may fund the Reserve from any funding source associated with your account, including but not limited to any funds (a) due to you under this Agreement or (b) available in your bank account, or other payment instrument registered with us. You grant us a security interest in and lien on any and all funds held in any Reserve, and also authorize us to make any withdrawals or debits from the Reserve, without prior notice to you, to collect amounts that you owe us under this Agreement, including without limitation for any reversals of deposits or transfers made to your bank account.</p>
<p>Taxes – Withholding</p>
<p>You are responsible for determining any and all taxes assessed, incurred, or required to be collected, paid, or withheld for any reason in connection with your use of our Service (“Taxes”). You also are solely responsible for collecting, withholding, reporting, and remitting correct Taxes to the appropriate tax authority. If in a given calendar year you receive more than $600 in gross amount of payments, we will report annually to the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), as required by law, your name, business name, address, Tax Identification Number the total dollar amount of the payments you receive in a calendar year, and the total dollar amount of the payments you receive for each month in a calendar year. It is your responsibility to ensure that your business name and Tax Identification Number as provided to Housecall Pro are accurate and up to date.</p>
<p>Refunds and Returns</p>
<p>You agree to process returns, and provide refunds and adjustments, for your goods or services through your Pro account in accordance with these terms and any applicable Card Association Rules. Card Association Rules may require that you will (a) maintain a fair return, cancellation or adjustment policy, (b) disclose your return or cancellation policy to customers at the time of purchase, (c) not give cash refunds to a customer in connection with a Card sale, unless required by law and (d) not accept cash or any other item of value for preparing a Card sale refund. You are responsible for knowing and adhering to the Card Association Rules applicable to you, and Housecall Pro will not be liable for any violation by you of the Card Association Rules. The amount of the refund/ adjustment must include any associated taxes required to be refunded and cannot exceed the amount shown as the total on the original sales data except by the exact amount required to reimburse the customer for postage that the customer paid to return merchandise. If you accept returns and are making an uneven exchange of merchandise (e.g., the sales price is not the same), you must issue a credit for the total amount of the merchandise being returned and complete a new sale for any new merchandise. Please be aware, if your refund policy prohibits returns or is unsatisfactory to the buyer, you may still receive a Chargeback relating to such sales. You can process a refund through your account up to sixty (60) days from the day you accepted the payment. If the balance in your account is insufficient to cover the refund, we will withdraw up to the requested refund amount from your bank account and credit it back to your customer’s Card. Transaction Fees are also refunded, so the full purchase amount is always returned to your customer. We have no obligation to accept any returns of any of your goods or services on your behalf.</p>
<p>Account History</p>
<p>We provide you an online transaction history of all of your authorized transactions. Except as required by law, you are solely responsible for (a) compiling and retaining permanent records of all transactions and other data associated with your account and your use of the Service and (b) reconciling all transactional information that is associated with your account.</p>

<p>Card Not Present</p>
<p>You acknowledge that all payment or financial card (“Card”) transactions (except those conducted using card readers provided by us) are processed as “card not present” transactions, even where the consumer is at the physical point of sale and a consumer has different Chargeback rights for “card not present” transactions than for transactions where the buyer physically presents the card to the seller.</p>
<p>Underwriting</p>
<p>We will review some or all of the information that you submit in connection with your request to sign up for Housecall Pro Payments. We may forward such information to Third Party Payment Processors. After you submit your application, we or our payment processor may conclude that you will not be permitted to use the Service.</p>
<p>Payment Processing Transaction and Account Reviews</p>
<p>From time to time, and in our sole discretion, we review account and transaction activity, including when bank transfers are initiated, to evaluate your eligibility, or continued eligibility, to access our processing and other financial related product offerings. This review checks for, among other things, suspicious or illegal activity, and whether your account activity and the activity of users with whom you’ve transacted comply with this Agreement. In connection with our review process, you may be required to provide us with additional information and/or documentation to verify your identity, business information, or financial standing. We also may obtain information from third parties, including but not limited to consumers and banks, and we may contact your customers to obtain relevant information. We may limit your account and your access to money in it or that is sent to you until verification is completed.</p>
<p>Reviews may result in:</p>
<p>– delayed, blocked or canceled transfers;</p>
<p>– money or payments being held by us;</p>
<p>– money or payments being applied to amounts you owe to us or used to offset loss incurred by us;</p>
<p>– account limitation, suspension or termination;</p>
<p>– money or payments being seized to comply with a court order, warrant or other legal process; and/or</p>
<p>– money or payments you previously received being reversed (i.e., sent back to the sender or to the card or bank account that was used to fund the payment).</p>
<p>Among other reasons, we may take the above actions if you knowingly or unknowingly were a participant in a payment that was made from a stolen card, compromised bank account, or compromised Housecall Pro account, or if you were a participant in a transaction for goods and services between two personal accounts.</p>
<p>Transaction Limits</p>
<p>We may impose various transaction limits and rules on Pros. If you believe that the transaction limits are interfering with your business, please contact our support to request higher limits. We may require more information about your business to evaluate your request and will decide at our sole discretion whether to honor such requests. We will consider a variety of factors in making our decision, including but not limited to a proprietary set of rules, Chargeback rates, transaction behavior, and other supplemental data about your business.</p>
<p>Restrictions on Certain Transactions</p>
<p>You may not use Card transactions for activities unrelated to the activities described in your Business Profile. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you may not use Card transactions for shipping products, for selling products not related to on-site work in the business described in your Business Profile, for making or receiving payments on loans, for cash advances, or for transactions involving motor vehicles.</p>
<p>Payment Processing Fees</p>
<p>You agree to pay payment processing or other transaction-related fees (“Fees”) in addition to our subscription fee. We reserve the right to change our Fees at any time in our sole discretion.</p>
<p>Access to Your Funds</p>
<p>We will deposit to your bank account (defined as the bank account as specified in your Housecall Pro account) the amounts actually received by us for transactions submitted through the Service (less any applicable Fees and any money that you owe Housecall Pro). We reserve the right to revise our payout schedule. Once your US bank account information is verified, we will automatically initiate a payout to your designated bank account at the end of every business day except as provided below. Payouts to your bank account will normally register within 2-3 business days subject to your bank’s policies. We may offer you the ability to direct funds to multiple accounts.</p>
<p>Funds for any given transaction will not be deposited until the transaction is deemed complete. Transactions will be deemed complete when we or the designated financial institutions have accepted the transaction or funds. We will attempt to rectify processing errors that we discover, and may withhold funds pending our investigation of any such errors. You are responsible for monitoring your transactions and ensuring that our payments to you are correct. You must notify us of any errors in payments made to you within sixty (60) days of the error first appearing on your electronic transaction history, and failure to do so will be deemed a waiver of any right to amounts owed to you. However, notification within such sixty (60) day period does not ensure that any such error will be able to be corrected.</p>
<p>Restrictions on Availability of Funds</p>
<p>Should we need to conduct an investigation or resolve any suspicious activity or pending dispute related to a Pro account, we may delay payout or restrict access to your funds for the entire time it takes for us to do so. We also may delay payout or restrict access to your funds as required by law or court order, or if otherwise requested by law enforcement or governmental entities.</p>
<p>Chargebacks</p>
<p>The amount of a transaction may be reversed or charged back to your bank account (a “Chargeback”) if the transaction (a) is disputed, (b) is reversed for any reason by the Card Associations (defined below), our processor, or a payer’s or our financial institution, (c) was not authorized or we have any reason to believe that the transaction was not authorized, or (d) is allegedly unlawful, suspicious, or in violation of the terms of this Agreement.</p>
<p>There is a non-refundable $25 fee for each Chargeback regardless of the outcome of the dispute.</p>
<p>Contesting Chargebacks; Our Collection Rights for Chargebacks. For any transaction that results in a Chargeback, we may withhold the Chargeback amount in a Reserve (defined below). In the event a consumer charges back a payment that we have processed and caused funds to be delivered to your account, our payment processor Stripe may withhold or take back such amounts while the charge is in dispute. In such event, if your account does not have sufficient funds, we may be required to advance such funds to Stripe on your behalf. If this occurs, you agree that we are entitled to be reimbursed by you immediately, and that your sole remedy lies with your customer and your customer’s bank. We may deduct the amount of any Chargeback and any associated fees, fines, or penalties assessed by the card-issuing bank or organization (“Card Association”) or our processor from your bank account (including without limitation any Reserve), from any proceeds due to you, your bank account, or from any other payment instruments registered with us. If you have pending Chargebacks, we may delay payouts to your bank account. Further, if we reasonably believe that a Chargeback is likely with respect to any transaction, we may withhold the amount of the potential Chargeback from payments otherwise due to you under this Agreement until such time that (a) a Chargeback is assessed due to a customer’s complaint, in which case we will retain the funds, (b) the period of time under applicable law or regulation by which the customer may dispute that the transaction has expired or (c) we determine that a Chargeback on the transaction will not occur. If we are unable to recover funds related to a Chargeback for which you are liable, you will pay us the full amount of the Chargeback immediately upon demand. You agree to pay all costs and expenses, including without limitation attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses, incurred by or on behalf of us in connection with the collection of all the Pros account deficit balances unpaid by you.</p>
<p>Any bank account or Card information may be held by Housecall Pro in order to satisfy any account balances, disputes, refunds, Chargebacks or other liabilities or obligations after leaving or terminating the Service.</p>
<p>Excessive Chargebacks</p>
<p>If we determine, in our sole discretion, that you are incurring an excessive amount of Chargebacks, we may establish controls or conditions governing your account, including without limitation, by (a) establishing new processing Fees, (b) creating a Reserve in an amount reasonably determined by us to cover anticipated Chargebacks and related fees, (c) delaying payouts and (d) terminating or suspending your access to the Service.</p>
<p>Reserve</p>
<p>If we have reasonable suspicion of misuse, we may temporarily suspend or delay payments to you and/or designate an amount of funds that we must maintain in a separate reserve account (a “Reserve”) to secure the performance of your payment obligations under this Agreement. We may require a Reserve for any reason, including if you have a high rate of Chargebacks or refunds, or other indications of performance problems related to your use of the Service. The Reserve will be in an amount as reasonably determined by us to cover anticipated Chargebacks, returns, unshipped merchandise and/or unfulfilled products or services or credit risk based on your processing history or such amount designated by our processor. The Reserve may be raised, reduced or removed at any time by us, in our sole discretion, based on your payment history, a credit review, the amount of any arbitration award or court judgment against you in our favor, or otherwise as we or our processor may determine or require. If you do not have sufficient funds in your Reserve, we may fund the Reserve from any funding source associated with your account, including but not limited to any funds (a) due to you under this Agreement or (b) available in your bank account, or other payment instrument registered with us. You grant us a security interest in and lien on any and all funds held in any Reserve, and also authorize us to make any withdrawals or debits from the Reserve, without prior notice to you, to collect amounts that you owe us under this Agreement, including without limitation for any reversals of deposits or transfers made to your bank account.</p>
<p>Taxes – Withholding</p>
<p>You are responsible for determining any and all taxes assessed, incurred, or required to be collected, paid, or withheld for any reason in connection with your use of our Service (“Taxes”). You also are solely responsible for collecting, withholding, reporting, and remitting correct Taxes to the appropriate tax authority. If in a given calendar year you receive more than $600 in gross amount of payments, we will report annually to the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), as required by law, your name, business name, address, Tax Identification Number the total dollar amount of the payments you receive in a calendar year, and the total dollar amount of the payments you receive for each month in a calendar year. It is your responsibility to ensure that your business name and Tax Identification Number as provided to Housecall Pro are accurate and up to date.</p>
<p>Refunds and Returns</p>
<p>You agree to process returns, and provide refunds and adjustments, for your goods or services through your Pro account in accordance with these terms and any applicable Card Association Rules. Card Association Rules may require that you will (a) maintain a fair return, cancellation or adjustment policy, (b) disclose your return or cancellation policy to customers at the time of purchase, (c) not give cash refunds to a customer in connection with a Card sale, unless required by law and (d) not accept cash or any other item of value for preparing a Card sale refund. You are responsible for knowing and adhering to the Card Association Rules applicable to you, and Housecall Pro will not be liable for any violation by you of the Card Association Rules. The amount of the refund/ adjustment must include any associated taxes required to be refunded and cannot exceed the amount shown as the total on the original sales data except by the exact amount required to reimburse the customer for postage that the customer paid to return merchandise. If you accept returns and are making an uneven exchange of merchandise (e.g., the sales price is not the same), you must issue a credit for the total amount of the merchandise being returned and complete a new sale for any new merchandise. Please be aware, if your refund policy prohibits returns or is unsatisfactory to the buyer, you may still receive a Chargeback relating to such sales. You can process a refund through your account up to sixty (60) days from the day you accepted the payment. If the balance in your account is insufficient to cover the refund, we will withdraw up to the requested refund amount from your bank account and credit it back to your customer’s Card. Transaction Fees are also refunded, so the full purchase amount is always returned to your customer. We have no obligation to accept any returns of any of your goods or services on your behalf.</p>
<p>Account History</p>
<p>We provide you an online transaction history of all of your authorized transactions. Except as required by law, you are solely responsible for (a) compiling and retaining permanent records of all transactions and other data associated with your account and your use of the Service and (b) reconciling all transactional information that is associated with your account.</p>
