  10. Chargebacks

    10.1     Chargebacks. As provided in this Agreement, we may shift the financial liability for an Account transaction from us to you. Such shift and assessment of liability to you is a "Chargeback." The amount of the Chargeback includes the amount of the transaction related to the Chargeback (as shown on the Sales Slip or Credit Slip), plus all associated fees, including, but not limited to, finance charges, late fees, and fees for insufficient funds.

    10.2     Our Chargeback right. We may initiate a Chargeback to you for any Account transaction that we reasonably determine to be the result of:

    1. 10.2.1   any individual or Cardholder Dispute that followed the Dispute Procedure in Section 10.3 and we determine is valid;
    2. 10.2.2   Any reason set forth in Section 10.4;
    3. 10.2.3   Third-Party Fraud, to the extent specified in Section 10.5 of this Agreement;
    4. 10.2.4   failure to follow our Instructions;
    5. 10.2.5   practices or procedures by you that we determine, in our sole discretion, pose an unacceptable risk of loss or negative legal or regulatory action; or
    6. 10.2.6   any breach of your obligations, representations and warranties under this Agreement, including but not limited to the Card Transaction Representations and Warranties set forth in Section 8.

    10.3     Dispute Procedure for Chargebacks. When an individual or Cardholder notifies us that they are making a Dispute (or you notify us of a Cardholder’s Dispute pursuant to Section 9.4 if the Cardholder does not contact us directly) and we determine the Dispute may relate to your practices or procedures related to the Program, prior to initiating a Chargeback to you, we will make reasonable efforts to provide you a copy of the Dispute and any applicable documentation in our possession regarding the Dispute, to the extent you do not have such information in your possession. Upon our sending of the Dispute and supporting documentation to you, if you wish to contest the Dispute, you must respond to us with a statement and any evidence refuting the Dispute within ten (10) business days. Following our receipt of your timely response or the expiration of the ten (10) business days without a timely response from you, we will review and consider your response (or lack thereof), and determine in good faith whether the individual or Cardholder's Dispute is valid.

    10.4     Chargeback reasons. The following outlines common types of Chargeback reasons that give rise to our Chargeback rights set forth in Section 10.2, categorized into broad groups:

    1. 10.4.1   Card authorization issues, including no account number verification, full authorization not obtained, expired Card;
    2. 10.4.2   cancellation and return issues, including failure to properly disclose material limitations of your return and exchange policy;
    3. 10.4.3   fraud, including acts by your employees or agents;
    4. 10.4.4   processing errors, including late presentment of Applications, Sales Slips, or Credit Slips, incomplete or incorrect Applications, Sales Slips, or Credit Slips, prohibited transactions, fees or charges;
    5. 10.4.5   non-receipt or improper delivery of goods and services;
    6. 10.4.6   quality of goods and services, including defective goods or inadequate services;
    7. 10.4.7   non-receipt of information, including illegible documents; and
    8. 10.4.8   any other claim or defense is asserted against us with respect to a Card Transaction or the Account as a result of any act or omission by Dealer or any of its employees or agents.

    Additional example situations giving rise to our Chargeback rights are contained in Exhibit 10.4. These examples are not exclusive, and do not limit our rights as otherwise set forth in this Agreement.

    10.5     Third-Party Fraud Chargebacks. We may Chargeback to you all losses that we reasonably determine are attributable to Third-Party Fraud. "Third-Party Fraud" means acts of fraud that are attributable to persons other than your employees, contractors or agents and which occur despite your compliance with your procedures, this Agreement, and our Instructions.

    10.6     Settlement and Payment of Chargebacks. After the conclusion of any applicable investigation or process described in this Section 10, we may determine in our sole reasonable opinion that a transaction should be subject to Chargeback. Upon our classification of a transaction as subject to Chargeback, we may deduct from amounts owed to you under this Agreement the amount of the Chargeback less any amounts received by us on account of the transaction that is subject to the Chargeback.

  11. Settlement and Payment

    11.1     Settlement and payment initiation and processing. When you deliver a Sales Slip to us, the Sales Slip constitutes your request for us to accept the Sales Slip, to advance credit to the Cardholder, and to pay you. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, we will accept delivery of valid Sales Slips executed by Cardholders with Accounts in good standing, and upon such acceptance we will settle the transaction and, if applicable, pay you on the fourth (4th) business day from the date of delivery of the Sales Slip, excluding weekends and federal holidays. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may reject delivery of any Sales Slip in accordance with Section 5.7 of this Agreement. Similarly, when you deliver to us a Credit Slip, we will credit the appropriate Account in an amount equal to the Refund Amount and we may deduct the Refund Amount from other monies, if any, due to you.

    11.2     Ownership of Sales Slips and Credit Slips. You agree and understand that we own all rights, title and interest in every Sales Slip and Credit Slip executed by a Cardholder in connection with credit transactions on Accounts, including the payment obligation represented by such Sales Slips and Credit Slips and the security interest in the goods covered by such Sales Slips, unless and until we Chargeback the Sales Slip or Credit Slip to you. You authorize us to take every action necessary in our sole discretion to collect each Sales Slip and Credit Slip and to carry out the intent of this Agreement, including the right to endorse any check or draft, money order or other form of payment, payable to you in connection with any Sales Slip, Credit Slip or Account.

    11.3     Payments on Sales Slips, Credit Slips, and Accounts. Except with respect to Sales Slips and Credit Slips which we have charged back to you and Accounts you have purchased pursuant to your obligations under this Agreement, you agree that you are not authorized to receive payments, and that we have the sole right to receive payments, on all Accounts and related Sales Slips and Credit Slips. You agree that you will not make an attempt to make any collections, or receive any payments, on any Account, Sales Slip or Credit Slip submitted to us.

    11.4     Account payments made to you. You agree not to accept any payment in respect of any Sales Slip, Credit Slip or Account. If you accept such a payment in violation of this Agreement, such payment shall not be deemed acceptance by us or on our behalf, and the Cardholder will still owe such amount to us.

    11.5     Power of attorney. You authorize us to execute or endorse on your behalf any instruments, or other documents with respect to goods or services purchased from you with a Card as attorney-in-fact for you. This power of attorney is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. In particular, you irrevocably constitute and appoint us as its attorney-in-fact to endorse your name on any payments received by us on Accounts. We authorize you to execute on behalf of us any instruments or other documents with respect to goods purchased from you with a Card, if necessary to perfect our security interest in such goods. You agree to promptly provide us a copy of all such documents executed on our behalf.

    11.6     Settlement. In accordance with our settlement procedures and the pricing terms or rate sheet that we communicate to you from time to time pursuant to Section 1.1, we will pay you the total amount of the accepted Sales Slips less:

    1. 11.6.1   the total of any processing fees;
    2. 11.6.2   any Chargebacks;
    3. 11.6.3   any Credit Slips transmitted by you;
    4. 11.6.4   any merchant discount applicable to a transaction in accordance with the pricing terms or rate sheet we communicate to you from time to time; and
    5. 11.6.5   any other amounts owed by you, or any of your affiliates, to us or any of our affiliates.

    11.7     Integrated transactions. The parties acknowledge that settlement for Sales Slips, and as applicable, Chargebacks and Credit Slips each arise out of a single integrated transaction.

    11.8     Bank account credit/debit authorization. You authorize us to initiate ACH credits and debits to your designated bank account for any amounts due or owed under this Agreement. You will sign any documentation necessary to effectuate such authorization as reasonably requested by us. You agree to abide by the rules of the ACH network as the Receiver of any such ACH debits or credits.

    11.9     Erroneous payments. In the event you are paid by us in error under any circumstance, you must repay us within five (5) days of notice of such to you.

    11.10     Establishment of a Reserve Account. We may withhold settlement payments otherwise due to you to establish and maintain a non-interest bearing reserve account at TD Bank N.A. (the "Reserve Account") equal to a percentage of total Program sales under this Agreement, if deemed necessary in our reasonable judgment.

    11.11     Reserve Account — Regular Adjustments. We may adjust the Reserve Account if the Reserve Account is less than the amount we deem necessary in our reasonable judgment. To accomplish this, we may withhold settlement payments otherwise due to you to make up the shortfall unless you send the additional funds to us within ten (10) days after we inform you of the shortfall in the Reserve Account.

    11.12     Reserve Account — Additional Adjustments. We may increase the Reserve Account, by withholding additional settlement payments in an amount reasonably determined by us, if:

    1. 11.12.1   we determine that your financial condition has deteriorated;
    2. 11.12.2   you breach this Agreement;
    3. 11.12.3   we determine that the financing of Warranty Contracts has created an increased risk of losses; or
    4. 11.12.4   there is a significant increase in the volume of Inquiries, Disputes or Chargebacks.

    11.13     Ownership of the Reserve Account. We will be the sole owner of the Reserve Account and may debit the Reserve Account for any amount owed to us by you. We will, however, pay you any remaining amounts in the Reserve Account by the time that the aggregate outstanding Account balances are zero.

    11.14     Right to Offset and Reimbursement Obligations.

    1. 11.14.1   We may offset any amounts we owe to you under this Agreement or any other agreement against any amounts you owe to us or any parent, subsidiary or other affiliate of ours to the fullest extent allowed by Applicable Law. We may apply any monies due and owing to you, reasonably expected to become due and owing to you, or in our possession belonging to you, against monies which become due and owing to us by you under this Agreement;
    2. 11.14.2   You may not offset any amounts you owe to us against any amounts we or any parent, subsidiary or other affiliate of ours owes to you.
    3. 11.14.3   In the event that you owe us more than we owe you, you will pay us the difference immediately, provided that if we cannot obtain payment for Refund Amounts or Chargeback amounts by setting off amounts owed to you pursuant to this Agreement, you must reimburse us for such amounts owed to us within two (2) business days of your receipt of notice of such obligations.
  12. Confidential Information

    12.1     Acknowledgement. In the performance of this Agreement, the parties acknowledge and agree that each party may be provided with or gain access to Confidential Information of the other party.

    12.2     Recipients and Disclosers. For the purposes of this Section 12, each party will be deemed to be the "Recipient" with regards to the Confidential Information of the other party that it accesses and the "Discloser" with regard to such party’s own Confidential Information that is accessed by the other party.

    12.3     Confidential Information. "Confidential Information" of a party means all information, in any form, of that party that is:

    1. 12.3.1   information not generally known to the public;
    2. 12.3.2   information identified as being proprietary or confidential or that by the nature of the circumstances surrounding the disclosure or receipt, or by the nature of the information itself, would be treated as proprietary and confidential by a reasonable person; and
    3. 12.3.3   Nonpublic Personal Information and similar personally identifiable information of other individuals who apply for Accounts or are Cardholders.

    For sake of clarity, the terms of this Agreement, the operation of the Program pursuant to this Agreement, Nonpublic Personal Information, all other information collected or received from an applicant for a Card or from a Cardholder or authorized user of a Card, including in connection with a Card Transaction, and all of our technology in connection with the Program are included in our Confidential Information and must not be disclosed to third-parties without our prior written consent.

    12.4     Non-Confidential Information. Confidential Information does not include, and neither party shall have any obligation of confidentiality with respect to:

    1. 12.4.1   information that is in or comes into the public domain (except as result of a breach of this provision);
    2. 12.4.2   information that is received by Recipient from a third party not under an obligation of confidentiality with respect thereto;
    3. 12.4.3   information that is independently developed by the Recipient without use of or access to the Confidential Information of the Discloser; or
    4. 12.4.4   information that is approved in writing for disclosure by Discloser prior to any disclosure by the Recipient.

    12.5     Safeguarding Confidential Information. The Recipient must take appropriate steps to ensure Confidential Information of the Discloser is safeguarded:

    1. 12.5.1   in accordance with industry accepted best practices and standards used or observed by comparable companies;
    2. 12.5.2   to at least the same extent as the Recipient would safeguard its own similar Confidential Information (but in no event less than a reasonable standard of care);
    3. 12.5.3   by implementing and maintaining administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the security, confidentiality, and integrity of Confidential Information in accordance with Applicable Law; and
    4. 12.4.4   with respect to NPPI, in accordance with Section 12.11.

    12.6     Use of Confidential Information. Recipient may use Confidential Information of the Discloser only for the purposes of, and pursuant to the terms of, this Agreement. Recipient may only disclose Confidential Information to those employees, affiliates, agents, advisors, consultants and other representatives of Recipient (“Representatives”) who have a need to know for the purposes of Recipient performing its obligations under this Agreement and who have a legally binding or ethical obligation to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information of the Discloser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that we may share information about your participation in the Program with your distributor, manufacturer or professional association, including, without limiting the foregoing, Toro.

    12.7     Disclosure of Confidential Information required by law. Recipient is permitted to disclose Confidential Information if required by Applicable Law subject to the remainder of this Section 12.7. If not prohibited by Applicable Law, Recipient must promptly notify Discloser of any request to disclose Discloser’s Confidential Information. Recipient will reasonably cooperate with and assist Discloser, at Discloser’s request and expense, in so that Discloser may prevent or limit such disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you intend to disclose the terms of this Agreement to any government authority, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission, you must provide us an opinion from reputable counsel at least 15 calendar days prior to such disclosure opining that the disclosure is required by Applicable Law and you must redact all sensitive information, or seek confidential treatment of such sensitive information, prior to the disclosure of the terms of this Agreement.

    12.8     Special terms. Without limiting the foregoing, you agree that all capitalized terms used in this Section 12 or otherwise related to Nonpublic Personal Information and not otherwise defined in this Agreement will have the meanings set forth in the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s “Privacy of Consumer Financial Information” Regulation (12 C.F.R. Part 1016), as amended from time to time (the “Privacy Regulation”), and the “Interagency Guidelines Establishing Standards for Safeguarding Customer Information” (12 C.F.R. Part 30), as amended from time to time (the “Safeguarding Guidelines”), issued pursuant to Section 504 of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (15 U.S.C. 6801 et seq.).

    12.9     Nonpublic Personal Information. "Nonpublic Personal Information," or "NPPI," has the same meaning as defined in 12 C.F.R. 1016.3(p). For the sake of clarity but in no way limiting the definition contained in 12 C.F.R. 1016.3(p), Nonpublic Personal Information includes personally identifiable information regarding our "Consumers" and "Customers," as defined in 12 C.F.R. 1016.3, and any lists derived from such information that is not otherwise publicly available. For example, personally identifiable Application data for a Consumer who is not extended credit under the Program is contained within the definition of NPPI.

    12.10     Acknowledgement of NPPI and similar obligations. You acknowledge that the Privacy Regulation and Safeguarding Guidelines govern the parties use, disclosure, privacy and security of NPPI. The personally identifiable information of other individuals who apply for Accounts or who are Cardholders, such as companies or other entities, that do not meet the definition of a "Consumer" or "Customer" as provided in 12 C.F.R. 1016.3 must also be provided the same protections as this Agreement provides for NPPI.

    12.11     NPPI covenants, representations, and warranties. You hereby covenant, represent and warrant with respect to any NPPI, or similar personally identifiable information of other individuals who apply for Accounts or are Cardholders, obtained by you in connection with this Agreement, as follows:

      4. 12.11.2.4   ensure the proper disposal of Customer Information and Consumer Information and similar information of individuals.
    3. 12.11.3   Ensure that all use of NPPI and similar information of individuals is in compliance with this Agreement and any privacy disclosures made by us to any Consumer, Customer or similar individual;
    4. 12.11.4   Not disclose or use any NPPI or similar information of individuals except to perform your obligations under this Agreement, or as otherwise permitted by the Privacy Regulation and other Applicable Law; provided however, you shall not disclose any NPPI or similar information of individuals to any other individual or entity without exception.
    5. 12.11.5   Not make any changes to your security measures that would increase the risk of any unauthorized access; and
    6. 12.11.6   In using such NPPI or similar information of individuals, at all times comply with our privacy policy.

    12.12     Response to threats to NPPI. In the event you know or reasonably believe that there has been any unauthorized access (or attempted unauthorized access) to NPPI or similar information of individuals in your possession or control that compromises (or threatens to compromise) the security, confidentiality or integrity of NPPI or similar information of individuals, at no cost to us, you must:

    1. 12.12.1   notify us as soon as reasonably practicable, by telephone or e-mail confirmed by written notice, of such unauthorized access or attempted unauthorized access;
    2. 12.12.2   identify to us what specific NPPI or similar information of individuals may have been accessed, including (if applicable) the name and account number of each affected Consumer, Customer or similar individual;
    3. 12.12.3   take reasonable steps to remedy the circumstances that permitted any such unauthorized access to occur;
    4. 12.12.4   take reasonable steps to prohibit further disclosure of NPPI or similar information of individuals; and
    5. 12.12.5   reimburse us for our costs incurred in remediating such breach, including, without limitation:
      1. 12.12.5.1   the cost of producing or mailing any notice required by Applicable Law, or that we reasonably determine should be provided, that informs the Consumer, Customer or similar individual of a security breach;
      2. 12.12.5.2   the cost of any credit monitoring or other services to be provided to affected persons;
      3. 12.12.5.3   replacing Cards; and
      4. 12.12.5.4   our additional customer servicing costs.

    12.13     Duration of Confidential Information obligations. The Parties’ respective obligations hereunder shall survive for three (3) years subsequent to the term (or any renewal thereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing, your obligations hereunder with respect to NPPI shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement in perpetuity.

    12.14     Ownership of Confidential Information. All Confidential Information will remain the exclusive property of the Discloser, and the Recipient has no rights, by license or otherwise, to use the Confidential Information of the Discloser except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

    12.15     Return or destruction of Confidential Information. Upon the Discloser's written request, the Recipient will promptly return or destroy, and verify in writing its destruction of, all material, in any form, embodying Confidential Information of the Discloser. In carrying out any destruction, the Recipient will protect Confidential Information in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

    12.16     Retention of Confidential Information. Notwithstanding Section 12.15 and subject to the continued application of this Agreement's confidentiality obligations, a Recipient may retain:

    1. 12.16.1   any minutes of meetings, copies of notes, internal analyses, records and other materials that contain or reflect the Discloser’s Confidential Information;
    2. 12.16.2   Confidential Information of the Discloser stored on Recipient's computer systems, e-mails, or other forms of electronic information retention and archival; and
    3. 12.16.3   Confidential Information the Recipient is required to retain for regulatory, legal and compliance purposes but only for so long as such retention is so required.

    12.17     Equitable relief and other remedies. The parties acknowledge that unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information may result in immediate and irreparable injury to the Discloser for which monetary damages may not be adequate. In addition to any other rights or remedies a Discloser may have under this Agreement or in law, in the event that Recipient or any of Recipient's Representatives uses or discloses, or is likely to use or disclose, any of Discloser's Confidential Information in breach of Recipient’s obligations under this Agreement, Discloser shall be entitled to equitable relief. Such equitable relief includes temporary and permanent injunctive relief and specific performance.

    12.18     Liability for third-party breaches. You are liable for any breach of the provisions of this Section 12, and any other confidentiality obligations contained in this Agreement, by any third-party to whom you have disclosed any Confidential Information, including NPPI.

Upon termination of this Agreement, you will purchase from us, at cost, all Program Materials remaining in our stock which have been customized with your name. Additionally, upon termination of this Agreement, we may continue to use Dealer Marks on Program Materials to service Accounts. We may also use your name and Dealer Marks in discussions with other parties about programs similar to the Program and to advertise our financial services to others.
