    Filevine offers an optional product which allows Subscriber to process payments and other payment-related services (“Payments by Filevine”). In addition to Filevine Services related to Payments by Filevine, the payment processing component of Payments by Filevine is provided by the third-party payment processing provider Stripe, Inc. or its affiliates (“Payment Processor”). This payment processing is a Third-Party Service and is subject to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement including agreements and other documents referred to in such agreement (collectively, the “Payment Processing Agreement”), as modified by the Payment Processor in accordance with the Payment Processing Agreement. By enrolling in and continuing to use Payments by Filevine, Subscriber agrees to be bound by these terms and the applicable terms of the Payment Processing Agreement.

    As a condition of Filevine enabling Payments by Filevine, and Subscriber enrolling in Payments by Filevine, Subscriber agrees to provide Filevine with accurate and complete information related to Subscriber’s use of Payments by Filevine and authorizes Filevine to share such information and transaction information with the Payment Processor pursuant to our Privacy Policy. Transaction information from payors will be collected for processing of transactions by the Payment Processor in accordance with the Payment Processor’s terms applicable to the payments. Filevine reserves the right to revoke access to Payments by Filevine if Subscriber abuses or shows a pattern of fraud, disputes, and/or irresponsible behavior. To the extent permitted by law, Filevine may collect any payment obligations Subscriber owes under this Agreement by deducting the corresponding amounts from funds payable to Subscriber arising from the settlement of card transactions through Payments by Filevine. Fees will be assessed at the time a transaction is processed and will be first deducted from the funds received for such transactions. If the settlement amounts are not sufficient to meet Subscriber’s obligations, Filevine may charge or debit the bank account or credit card registered in Subscriber’s account for any amounts owed (and Subscriber agrees to execute such additional directions in writing to permit Filevine to do so, if required). In the event a payment chargeback or similar dispute occurs, Subscriber may be charged a chargeback/dispute fee per occurrence by Filevine.

In addition to the amount due, delinquent accounts may be charged fees that are incidental to the collection of delinquent accounts and chargebacks including, but not limited to, collection fees, convenience fees, legal fees and expenses, costs of any arbitration or court proceeding, collection agency fees, any applicable interest and third-party charges. Subscriber hereby explicitly agrees that all communication in relation to delinquent accounts will be made by electronic mail or by phone, at addresses and numbers provided to Filevine. Such communication may be made by Filevine or by anyone on its behalf, including, but not limited to, a third-party collection agent. Subscriber will comply with the terms and conditions of any applicable merchant agreements and all applicable card network rules, policies, laws and regulations, at all times while using Payments by Filevine.

    To avoid charging higher rates across all transactions, any additional card network fees that are triggered are simply passed through directly, with no mark-up. This method allows Filevine to offer a more competitive program, reduce Subscriber's overall cost, and improve Subscriber's bottom line. Below are examples of some potential additional fees card brand networks (Visa, Mastercard and American Express) charge. Processing Fee and Card Not Present Fee. The fees listed below do not include all fees that the card brand networks charge or may charge in the future, and these fees do not apply to every transaction. This is simply a list of possible fees that some card brand networks charge. Filevine may, from time to time, elect not to charge you for certain existing, new or increased card network fees. If Filevine elects not to charge Subscriber, Filevine still reserves the right to begin charging Subscriber for those card brand network fees on a prospective, but not retrospective, basis.
