11. Indemnification

11.1. Toast Indemnification. Toast will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Merchant and its directors, officers, employees, affiliates and agents from and against any and all third-party claims brought against Merchant by a third party to the extent resulting from or arising out of any allegation that the use of the Services as contemplated hereunder infringes the copyright or misappropriates the trade secret rights of such third party, and Toast will pay all costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and damages finally awarded against Merchant by a court of competent jurisdiction as a result of any such claim or payable by Merchant pursuant to a settlement agreement to which Toast agrees in writing in settlement of such claim; provided, that Merchant (a) promptly gives written notice of the claim to Toast; (b) gives Toast sole control of the defense and settlement of the claim; and (c) provides to Toast, at Toast's cost, all reasonable assistance. If the Services become, or in Toast’s opinion are likely to become, the subject of an infringement or misappropriation claim, Toast may, at its option and expense, either (i) procure for Merchant the right to continue exercising the rights made available hereunder; (ii) replace or modify the Services so that they become non-infringing or non-misappropriating; or (iii) refund to Merchant the portion of subscription fees paid in advance by Merchant for any unused portion of the then-current term of the Services, if any, whereupon Toast may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Merchant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 11.1 shall not apply to any infringement or misappropriation claims arising from (i) designs, specifications, or modifications originated or requested by Merchant, (ii) the combination of the Hardware, Software, and/or Services with other equipment, software or products not supplied by Toast if such infringement or misappropriation would not have occurred but for such combination, (iii) Merchant’s failure to install an update provided by Toast at no additional charge, where same would have avoided or mitigated such claim, (iv) allegations of infringement made by a non-practicing entity, (v) the failure of Merchant to follow any instructions given by Toast to Merchant in relation to such claim, suit, action, or proceeding brought against Merchant, where the instruction would have avoided or mitigated the same, or (vi) any claims that are attributable to Merchant’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

12. Confidential Information

12.1. Each party (the "Receiving Party") understands that the other party (the "Disclosing Party") has disclosed or may disclose Confidential Information relating to the Disclosing Party's business under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Toast’s Confidential Information includes the Services, Hardware, and Customer Data, and any information relating thereto. The Receiving Party agrees: (a) to take reasonable precautions to protect such Confidential Information; and (b) not to use or divulge to any third person any such Confidential Information, in each case except as expressly permitted in Section 5, Section 7 or under the Privacy Statement. The Disclosing Party agrees that the foregoing obligations will not apply with respect to Confidential Information after five (5) years following the disclosure, or any Confidential Information that the Receiving Party can document (v) is or becomes generally available to the public by Disclosing Party or a third party not bound by a confidentiality obligation; (w) was in Receiving Party’s possession or known by it prior to receipt from the Disclosing Party; (x) was rightfully disclosed to Disclosing Party by a third party not bound by a confidentiality obligation; or (y) was independently developed without use of any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party as demonstrated by Receiving Party’s written records.

12.2. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, either party may disclose the other party’s Confidential Information, in whole or in part (i) to its Representatives who have a need to know and are legally bound to keep such Confidential Information confidential by confidentiality obligations or, in the case of professional advisors, are bound by ethical duties to keep such Confidential Information confidential, consistent with the terms of this Agreement; (ii) as required by law (in which case each party shall, if permitted by Applicable Law and Rules, provide the other with prior written notification thereof and the opportunity to contest such disclosure, and shall use its reasonable efforts to minimize such disclosure in each case to the extent permitted by applicable law); and (iii) in accordance with Toast’s Privacy Statement. The Receiving Party will remain primarily responsible for any breach of this Section 12 by any of its Representatives with whom it shares the other party’s Confidential Information as permitted by this Section 12.2.

13. Data Privacy & Security

13.1. Data Processing Terms. Both parties shall comply with their respective obligations under the Data Processing Terms set out in Annex A.

14. Arbitration

14.1. Agreement to Arbitrate. This Section is referred to as the “Arbitration Agreement.” Except where prohibited by Applicable Law and Rules, Merchant agrees that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between Merchant and Toast, whether arising out of or relating to this Agreement or in connection with Merchants use of the Services or our websites, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement. Merchant agrees that, by agreeing to this Agreement, Merchant and Toast are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Merchant’s rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. Notwithstanding the for egoing, this Arbitration Agreement shall not preclude either party from pursuing a court action for the sole purpose of obtaining a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction in circumstances in which such relief is appropriate; provided that any other relief shall be pursued through an arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement. In any event, any action or proceeding by Merchant against Toast relating to any dispute must commence within one year after the cause of action accrues.

14.2. Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief. Except where prohibited by Applicable Law and Rules, Merchant and Toast agree that each may bring claims against the other only on an individual basis and not as plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action or proceeding. Unless both Merchant and Toast agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate or join more than one person’s or party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a consolidated, representative, or class proceeding. Also, the arbitrator may award relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief necessitated by that party’s individual claim(s).

14.3. Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution. Toast is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most concerns can be resolved quickly and to the participant’s satisfaction by contacting Toast’s support team at Toast Central located at central.toasttab.com. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written notice of dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to Toast should be sent to Toast at 401 Park Drive, Suite 801, Boston, MA 02215, Attn: General Counsel. The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Toast and Merchant do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, Merchant or Toast may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Toast or Merchant shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which Merchant or Toast is entitled.

14.4. Arbitration Procedures. Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. The arbitrator can award issues relating to, without limitation, the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. The arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under this Agreement and Applicable Law and Rules. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons. Unless Toast and Merchant agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination shall be made by AAA. If Merchant’s claim is for €10,000 or less, Toast agrees that Merchant may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing or by an in- person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If Merchant’s claim exceeds €10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.

14.5. Costs of Arbitration. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the “Arbitration Fees”) will be governed by the AAA Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. Any payment of attorneys’ fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.

14.6. Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.

14.7. Severability. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement other than clause 14.2 above is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of clause 14.2 is invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void. The remainder of this Agreement will continue to apply.

15. Notices

Except as provided in the Arbitration Agreement, Toast may give notice applicable to Toast's general customer base by means of a general notice on the Services portal, and notices specific to Merchant by e-mail to Merchant's address on record in Merchant’s Toast Account. Notices to Toast must be sent via registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to Toast, Inc., 401 Park Drive, Suite 801, Boston, MA 02215, Attn: General Counsel.

16. Force Majeure

Neither party shall be in default of its obligations under this Agreement to the extent its performance is (a) delayed or prevented by any act of God, earthquake, flood, national disaster, strike, embargo, riots, sabotage, utility or transmission disruption or outage, equipment or widespread communications network or internet failure, governmental or regulatory changes, acts of declared or undeclared war, terrorism, fire, unforeseen vendor issues, pandemic or any other similar event beyond such party’s control, and (b) could not have been prevented by the non-performing party’s reasonable precautions or commercially accepted processes, or could not reasonably be circumvented by the non-performing party through the use of substitute services, alternate sources, work-around plans or other means by which the requirements of a buyer of services substantively similar to the Services hereunder would be satisfied. Events meeting both of the criteria set forth in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) are referred to individually and collectively as “Force Majeure Events.” Upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, the non-performing party shall be excused from any further performance or observance of the affected obligations for as long as such circumstances prevail, and provided that such party continues to attempt to recommence performance or observance to the greatest extent possible as soon as possible and without delay.

17. General Provisions

17.1. Governing Law and Jurisdiction. Any action, claim, or dispute related to this Agreement will be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, excluding its conflicts or choice of law provisions, and controlling U.S. federal law. Except as set forth in Section 14, the parties agree that the federal or state courts in the city of Boston shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine any dispute between them. The Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act, and the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods, shall not apply to this Agreement.

17.2. No Waiver. The failure of either party to enforce any right or provision in this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by such party in writing; and any waiver with respect to a specific circumstance will not constitute a waiver of the same provision or any other provision of this Agreement for any subsequent circumstance unless expressly provided by such written agreement. The Section headings are provided merely for convenience and will not be given any legal import in the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement. No joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between Toast and Merchant as a result of this Agreement or use of the Services.

17.3. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and all Order(s), together with all exhibits, attachments, and addenda incorporated by reference herein and therein, represent the parties' entire understanding relating to the Services and the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersede any prior or contemporaneous, conflicting, or additional communications, whether written or verbal, and will control over any different or additional terms of any non-Toast ordering document, and no terms included in any such purchase order or other non-Toast ordering document will apply to the Services or Hardware. The exchange of a fully-executed Order by fax or electronic signature will be sufficient to bind the parties to the Merchant Agreement and such Order. With the exception of Fee and rate changes described in Section 6.2, this Agreement may be amended only by written agreement signed by the parties, except that Toast may modify this Agreement to comply with, and as a result of, amendments to Applicable Laws and Rules. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, if the essential terms and conditions of this Agreement for each party remain valid, binding, and enforceable, then such provision(s) will be deemed to be restated and construed to reflect the original intentions of the parties in accordance with Applicable Law and Rules with respect to the invalid or unenforceable provision(s), and with all other provisions of this Agreement remaining in full force and effect.

17.4. Assignment. Neither party may assign this Agreement without the prior written approval of the other, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that such approval will not be required in connection with a merger or acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets or shares of the assigning company related to this Agreement. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 17.4 will be null and void and without force or effect.

17.5. Electronic Signature. Signatures transmitted and received electronically, such as through transmission of a scanned or faxed document, or via secure email or a service such as DocuSign, are true and valid signatures for all purposes hereunder and shall bind the parties to the same extent as that of an original signature.

17.6. Representatives. Each party shall be primarily responsible for each of its respective Representatives’ compliance with this Agreement.

ANNEX A

Data Processing Terms

1. Scope of these Data Processing Terms

1.2. Toast will collect, process and retain Personal Information pursuant to Toast’s Privacy Statement, which describes what Personal Information Toast collects and manages as part of providing our Services. Merchant and its Employees are encouraged to read the Privacy Statement carefully, as it forms a binding part of this Agreement and contains important information about individuals’ rights and how Toast manages Personal Information.

Merchant shall make the Privacy Statement available to its Employees and Customers in such manner as Toast may reasonably request from time to time (including by retaining a hard copy for inspection upon request).

1.3 Toast acts as a Processor on behalf of Merchant when processing Merchant Data containing Personal Information, in connection with the provision of Services that relate to the management and administration of Employees on behalf of the Merchant.

2.1 To the extent that Toast acts as a Processor on behalf of Merchant (as described at Section 1.3 of this Annex A), Toast shall: (a) process such Personal Information only on the documented instructions of the Merchant within the scope of the Services as set out in this Agreement and the Order Form, unless required to do otherwise by EU or EU Member State law to which Toast is subject (and Toast shall, if permitted to do so, notify Merchant of such requirement before processing); (b) ensure that persons authorized to process the Personal Information have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality; (c) take all measures required pursuant to Article 32 of the GDPR; (d) notify Merchant if, in its opinion, an instruction infringes applicable Data Privacy and Security Laws; (e) notify Merchant without undue delay, and in any event within 72 hours of becoming aware, upon the occurrence of any Security Incident occurring in relation to the relevant Personal Information; (f) upon Merchant’s request and at Merchant’s cost, provide Merchant with reasonable assistance and cooperation by using appropriate technical and organizational measures to respond to requests by data subjects to exercise their rights under Chapter III of the GDPR, or to ensure compliance with the Merchant’s obligations pursuant to Articles 32 to 36 of the GDPR; and (g) at the end of the processing activities, delete or return all Personal Information in accordance with Section 8.5 of this Agreement.

2.2 Toast may appoint a third party to act as a sub-processor on its behalf in connection with any purposes of processing where Toast acts as a processor on behalf of Merchant (each a “Sub-Processor”) and Merchant hereby grants Toast a general authorization to appoint such Sub-Processors. Toast shall notify Merchant of any intended changes concerning the addition or replacement of Sub-Processors, and Customer may reasonably object to the appointment of any Sub-Processor by written notice to Toast within seven days of such notification. If Toast does not address any such objection to Customer’s satisfaction and it is not feasible to prevent the appointment of the Sub-Processor or limit access as part of the Services, Customer’s sole remedy will be to terminate the Agreement by written notice to Toast.

2.3 If Toast utilizes any Sub-Processors, Toast shall ensure that such Sub-Processor is subject to a written agreement that contains at least the same level of privacy and security-related obligations imposed on Toast under this Agreement. In all cases, Toast shall remain responsible for any acts or omissions of such third parties to the same extent as if such acts or omissions were performed by Toast.

2.4 Merchant may, with not less than thirty days’ written notice to Toast, request that Toast make available all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with its obligations as a Processor under this Agreement, and allow for and contribute to an audit of its processing systems and the GDPR if it has a reasonable suspicion of a breach or potential breach of the terms of this Agreement, or is directed to do so by a Supervisory Authority. Such audits may be conducted no more frequently than once per calendar year, during business hours and subject to such reasonable restrictions as Toast may determine (including by limiting the scope of such audit and securing appropriate confidentiality obligations). Nothing in this Section 2.4 shall require Toast to take any action that would compromise the confidentiality or security of any other customer’s data which may be stored on the same systems or infrastructure as Merchant Data or Customer Data.

3. Merchant’s Obligations

3.1 This Section 3 of these Data Processing Terms sets out Merchant’s obligations in respect of all purposes of processing of Personal Information in connection with the Services, regardless of whether Toast acts as a Controller or Processor in respect of such processing.

3.2. Merchant agrees that it will collect, store and use Personal Information collected as part of this Agreement and the Services in a manner consistent with the applicable Data Privacy and Security Laws. Merchant is solely responsible for its compliance with the applicable Privacy and Data Security Laws and any compliance obligations associated with the collection, use or processing of that Personal Information.

3.3. Where requested by Toast, Merchant shall provide Toast with reasonable assistance and cooperation in relation to Toast’s compliance with the applicable Data Privacy and Security Laws, including but not limited to support with individual rights requests or notifications from any governmental, regulatory or law enforcement authority pertaining to Toast and our provision of the Services and use of Personal Information as described in this Agreement. In the event Merchant receives any such request or notification, unless otherwise required to do so by law, Merchant shall notify Toast and shall not respond to the party making the request.

3.4. Merchant is responsible for implementing and maintaining appropriate technical, organizational and administrative security controls to safeguard Personal Information as well as other data associated with the Services, the Hardware and Merchant’s obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, this includes access controls and ensuring that only those individuals that need access to Customer Data are provided with such access. In all cases, this obligation shall not limit Merchant’s obligations regarding the implementation of any security measures required under the Data Privacy and Security Laws.

3.5. If Merchant (whether directly or through a third party) discovers or becomes aware of a Security Incident, Merchant shall promptly notify Toast and take any additional steps that are reasonably necessary to remedy any non-compliance with this Agreement. This includes complying with all applicable requirements of the Agreement as well as cooperation with the investigation of the Security Incident. Merchant shall provide reasonable support with remedying a Security Incident when Customer Data is involved. To the extent any Security Incident is attributable to the acts or omissions of the Merchant, Merchant shall bear all costs associated with remedying the Security Incident and complying with its legal obligations under the applicable Data Privacy and Security Laws.

3.6. To the extent permitted under this Agreement, if Merchant utilizes any third parties outside of those engaged by Toast to perform processing or services related to the Services or Customer Data, Merchant shall ensure that the third-party relationship is subject to a written agreement that contains at least the same level of privacy and security-related obligations imposed on Merchant under this Agreement. In all cases, Merchant shall remain responsible for any acts or omissions of such third parties to the same extent as if such acts or omissions were performed by Merchant.

3.7. As part of this Agreement, Toast shall, with reasonable notice, have the right to perform an audit of Merchant’s facilities, systems and personnel to verify Merchant’s compliance with this Section if it has a reasonable suspicion of a breach or potential breach of the terms of this Agreement, or is directed to do so by a Supervisory Authority. Merchant will provide full cooperation to Toast and its representatives in connection with any such audit.

Annex B

Payment Provider Support Services

1. Payment Provider Relationship. Merchant acknowledges and agrees that:

a. Toast is not considered by the parties to be a payment processor, this Agreement does not contemplate the provision of payment processing by Toast, and Payment Provider shall be the sole provider of payment processing services to Merchant (as among Merchant, Toast and Payment Provider) as part of the Payment Provider Services under the Payment Provider Terms and Conditions. The parties intend that Marketplace will act as technological service provider supporting the provision by Payment Provider of the Payment Provider Services, without entering at any time into possession of the funds to be transferred, which would not require Toast to be regulated as a payment service provider under Directive 2015/2366 EU.

b. Toast is the “Marketplace” and the provider of the “Marketplace Services” as those terms are used in the Payment Provider Terms and Conditions.

c. Merchant designates Toast as an authorised representative of Merchant towards Payment Provider with respect to the use by Merchant of the Payment Provider Services and as such Toast is authorised by Merchant to access and use the data of Merchant processed on the Payment Provider Platform. Merchant agrees that any notices, requests, requirements, demands, instructions, directions and any other communication from Payment Provider transmitted by Payment Provider to Merchant through the Toast Platform shall be deemed received by Merchant. Merchant hereby authorizes Marketplace to access any such communication or Payment data to provide support to Merchant at the level of individual Payments and to technically manage user settings of the Merchant with respect to the Payment Provider Services on Merchant’s behalf.

d. All activities performed by Toast with respect to Merchant on the Payment Provider Platform will be deemed to be performed by Toast as authorised representative of Merchant including, for example, any settings of Merchant configured by Toast on the Payment Provider Platform. Toast may treat any instruction Merchant provides to Toast to do or refrain from doing any activity as authorization to instruct Payment Provider on Merchant’s behalf to do or refrain from doing such activity, and any instruction relating to Merchant transmitted by Toast to Payment Provider contemplated hereunder shall be deemed to be authorized by Merchant and transmitted on Merchant’s behalf. All instructions or other communications contemplated by this Agreement or the Payment Provider Terms and Conditions that may or are required to be provided by Merchant to Toast or Payment Provider shall be provided through the Toast Platform, except to the extent expressly agreed otherwise by Toast or Payment Provider, as applicable.

e. Merchant has taken notice of and accepts the terms and restrictions of each document referenced in the definition of Payment Provider Terms and Conditions and has reviewed each such document, including (i) the general terms and conditions for the Payment Provider Services, a copy of which is included herewith at Schedule 1 and is available at https://www.adyen.com/legal/terms-and-conditions-adyen-for-platforms and (ii) the Payment Provider Prohibited and Restricted Services and Products, a copy of which is included herewith at Appendix 2 to Schedule 1 and is available at https://www.adyen.com/legal/list-restricted-prohibited.

Merchant’s use of the Payment Provider Services is subject to approval by Payment Provider in its sole discretion and Merchant’s application to use the Payment Provider Services may be rejected as the result of the review of the application.

g. Merchant will not use the Payment Provider Services for the sale of any product or service that:

i. violates any Applicable Law and Rules.

ii. appears in the Payment Provider Prohibited and Restricted Services and Products (except if for products or services in the “restricted” category an express waiver is agreed by Payment Provider).

2. Exclusivity and Merchant Authorization. Merchant acknowledges that as a condition of this Agreement, Merchant agrees to utilize Toast in its capacity as the “Marketplace” under the Payment Provider Terms and Conditions as its exclusive provider of access to payment processing services. Merchant hereby authorizes Toast as its limited agent for the purpose of instructing Payment Provider on Merchant’s behalf to hold, receive and disburse funds on Merchant’s behalf and to access the Merchant Bank Account to effectuate payment to Toast of any applicable Fees, amounts based on agreed processing rates, other amounts pursuant to Annex B and any other amounts as agreed in any Order Form, and for Merchant to receive any Settlements. Merchant’s authorization permits Toast instruct Payment Provider on Merchant’s behalf to generate a tangible draft or an electronic funds transfer to process each payment transaction that Merchant authorizes. Merchant’s authorization herein will remain in full force and effect during the Term.

3. Settlement Timing. Merchant acknowledges and agrees that Payment Provider will settle available Settlements to the Merchant Bank Account on the basis of either (i) payment triggers instructed by Merchant based on such triggers as Toast may make available or (ii) a preferred fixed regime (daily, weekly, monthly) instructed by Merchant based on such regimes as Toast may make available. It is Merchant’s responsibility to initiate Settlement of its payments in a timely manner through the Payment Provider Services accessed through the Services. Merchant acknowledges and agrees that Payment Provider is responsible for Settlement. Merchant’s failure to initiate Settlement of its payments in a timely manner may result in higher processing rates charged by the Payment Networks and Toast reserves the right to recoup such charges from Merchant, including by offsetting such amounts against Settlements. Merchant authorizes Toast to instruct Payment Provider to submit transactions to and receive Settlements from one or more Payment Networks, on Merchant’s behalf. Merchant shall ensure any information it has provided, including information regarding its Merchant Bank Account, is up to date at all times, shall notify Toast immediately of any changes thereto and authorizes and instructs Toast to share any such changes with Payment Provider.

4. Aged Settlements. Merchant acknowledges and agrees that any Settlement funds to which Merchant is entitled must be paid out to the Merchant Bank Account within 30 days. If Merchant fails to instruct Toast to instruct Payment Provider to pay out such funds within 30 days and does not give proper justification satisfactory to Toast and Payment Provider for this (which could be justified because Merchant did not yet provide the goods or services sold to the Customer), Payment Provider is authorized to push, and you authorize Toast to instruct Payment Provider on your behalf to push, settlement of such aged funds to the Merchant Bank Account.

5. Use and Return of Payment Provider Terminals. Merchant agrees that Merchant shall be solely responsible for operating and using the Payment Provider Terminals in compliance with Section 6 of the Payment Provider Terminal Services. Upon termination of this Agreement or the applicable Order Form, and/or in case the Payment Terminals will permanently no longer be used by Merchant, Merchant shall, as soon as reasonably possible return all affected 

Payment Terminals in its possession to Payment Provider or, at Toast’s direction, Toast, for proper disposal.

6. Adjustments. If Merchant has not provided goods or services consistent with the Merchant Agreement and the Payment Provider Terms and Conditions with respect to a particular transaction(s), you authorize Toast to, or to instruct Payment Provider on your behalf to: (i) withhold Settlement and/or pay a Refund to any Customer from the Merchant Bank Account, (ii) adjust the Settlement due for any period to compensate Toast for any Chargebacks, calculation errors, Merchant employee fraudulent use, and any Refunds paid to Customers, whether or not related to the period on which such adjustment is made, or to offset against such Settlement any other claim Toast may have arising hereunder, as more fully set forth in Section 9 of this Annex B.

7. Investigations. Notwithstanding Section 9 of this Annex B, if Toast needs to conduct an investigation or resolve any pending dispute related to the Merchant Bank Account, you authorize Toast to instruct Payment Provider on Merchant’s behalf to defer payout or restrict access to Merchant’s funds for the entire time it takes for Toast to complete its investigation or resolve the dispute. You also authorize Toast to instruct Payment Provider on your behalf to defer payout or restrict access to Merchant funds as required by Applicable Law and Rules or court order, or if otherwise requested by law enforcement or government entity. Additionally, Merchant will assist Toast when requested, at Merchant’s expense, to investigate any of Merchant’s Payments processed through the Payment Provider Services. To that end, and in accordance with Section 10 below, Merchant permits Toast to share and authorizes Toast to instruct Payment Provider on Merchant’s behalf to share information about a Chargeback with Customer, Payment Provider, Customer’s financial institution and Merchant’s financial institution in order to investigate and/or mediate a Chargeback. Toast will request necessary information from Merchant to contest the Chargeback, and Merchant agrees to provide such information as promptly as possible and in accordance with any timing specified by Toast or as required under Applicable Law and Rules. If a Chargeback dispute is not resolved in Merchant’s favor by the Payment Network or issuing bank or Merchant chooses not to contest the Chargeback, Toast may instruct Payment Provider on Merchant’s behalf to recover the Chargeback amount and any associated fees as described in the Agreement. Merchant acknowledges that its failure to assist Toast in a timely manner when investigating a Payment, including providing necessary documentation within the time period specified in Toast’s request, may result in an irreversible Chargeback. Toast will charge a fee for mediating and/or investigating Chargeback disputes, in addition to any other Chargeback fee(s) set forth in an Order Form, if applicable. Additionally, you authorize Toast to instruct Payment Provider on your behalf not to authorize or settle any Payment that Merchant submits to Payment Provider if Toast reasonably believes that the Payment is in violation of any agreement between Toast or Payment Provider, on the one hand, and Merchant on the other, or exposes Merchant, other Toast users, Payment Provider or Toast to harm. Harm includes without limitation fraud, a violation of individual or proprietary rights and other criminal acts. If Toast reasonably suspects that Merchant’s Toast Account or Merchant Bank Account has been used for an unauthorized, illegal, or criminal purpose, Merchant gives Toast express authorization to share, or to instruct Payment Provider on Merchant’s behalf to share, information about Merchant, Merchant’s Toast Account and Merchant Bank Account, and any of Merchant’s transactions with law enforcement or regulatory authorities.

8. Merchant Bank Account Activity. Except as required by Applicable Law and Rules, Merchant is solely responsible for (a) compiling and retaining permanent records of all transactions and other data associated with the Merchant Bank Account and Merchant’s use of the Services or the Payment Services, and (b) reconciling all transactional information that is associated with Merchant Bank Account. If Merchant believes that there is an error or unauthorized transaction activity associated with the Merchant Bank Account, Merchant will contact Toast immediately.

9. Merchant Reserves. At any time and from time to time, you authorize Toast to, or to instruct Payment Provider on your behalf to: (i) temporarily suspend or delay payments to Merchant in accordance with the Merchant Agreement, (ii) designate an amount of Merchant funds that Toast or Payment Provider must maintain in order to protect against anticipated risks as described herein, and/or (iii) require that Merchant maintain a certain amount of funds in its Merchant Bank Account to secure the performance of its obligations under the Merchant Agreement. Toast, in its sole reasonable discretion, may require a Reserve for any reason, in order to protect Toast from potential losses or other risk associated with Chargebacks (or anticipated Chargebacks), excessive Refunds, liens, garnishments, credit risk based on Merchant’s processing history, or other indications of performance problems related to Merchant’s acts or omissions. The Reserve will be in an amount as reasonably determined by Toast and/or Payment Provider. The Reserve may be raised, reduced, or removed at any time by Toast, in its reasonable discretion, based on Merchant’s payment history, a credit review, the amount of any arbitration award or court judgment against Merchant in Toast's favor, or otherwise as Toast and/or Payment Provider may determine or require. If Merchant does not have sufficient funds in its Merchant Bank Account, you authorize Toast to fund, or to instruct Payment Provider on your behalf to fund, the Reserve from the Merchant Bank Account or any funding source associated with Merchant’s Toast Accounts, including any funds (a) transferred by Merchant, (b) due to Merchant, or (c) available in the Merchant Bank Account, or other payment instrument registered with Toast or Payment Provider. Merchant grants Toast a security interest in and lien on any and all funds held in any Reserve, and also authorizes Toast to, or to instruct Payment Provider on Merchant’s behalf to, make any withdrawals or debits from the Reserve, the Merchant Bank Account, or any bank account linked to any of Merchant’s Toast Accounts, without prior notice to Merchant, to collect amounts that Merchant owes Toast. Merchant will execute any additional documentation required for Toast to perfect its security interest in any funds in the Reserve. This security interest survives for as long as Toast holds funds in the Reserve. Any Reserve will be held by Toast for such period of time as is consistent with Toast’s liability for the potential risks described above, in accordance with Applicable Law and Rules. Toast and Payment Provider may (but are not required to) apply funds in the Reserve toward the satisfaction of any amounts which are or may become due from Merchant pursuant to this Merchant Agreement. Funds in the Reserve will not bear interest and may be commingled with other funds. Upon (i) satisfaction of all of Merchant’s obligations under this Merchant Agreement; and (ii) Merchant’s execution of documents reasonably requested by Toast and/or Payment Provider in connection with the return of any Reserve funds, Toast and/or Payment Provider will pay to Merchant any funds then remaining in the Reserve. Upon notice of termination of this Merchant Agreement, Toast and/or its Payment Provider may estimate the aggregate dollar amount of anticipated Chargebacks, Refunds, fines, fees, penalties, or other risks and the like that Toast and/or Payment Provider reasonably anticipates subsequent to termination, and Merchant agrees to immediately deposit such amount in its Merchant Bank Account, or Toast may withhold, or may instruct Payment Provider on Merchant’s behalf to withhold, such amount from Settlement funds in order to establish a Reserve pursuant to and governed by the terms and conditions of this Merchant Agreement.

10. Chargebacks. Merchant will not incur excessive Chargebacks. If Toast determines that Merchant is incurring excessive Chargebacks, Toast may, and you authorize Toast to, establish controls or conditions governing Merchant’s Toast Account, or to instruct Payment Provider on Merchant’s behalf to establish such controls or conditions governing Merchant’s Payment Provider Account, including without limitation, by (a) establishing new processing fees, (b) creating or instructing Payment Provider on Merchant’s behalf to create a Reserve in accordance with Section 9 of this Annex B, (c) instructing Payment Provider on Merchant’s behalf to delay Settlement payouts, and/or (d) terminating this Agreement and/or any associated Order Form(s) or Toast Master Agreement(s), as applicable. Notwithstanding Section 9 of this Annex B, for any Payment that results in a Chargeback, Toast may instruct Payment Provider on Merchant’s behalf to withhold the Chargeback amount and any associated fees. Toast may deduct, and you authorize Toast to instruct Payment Provider on Merchant’s behalf to deduct, the amount of any Chargeback and any associated Fees, fines, or penalties listed in each Order or assessed by a third party, from either Merchant’s Payment Provider Account or the Merchant Bank Account (including without limitation any Reserve), or any proceeds or amounts due to Merchant. If Merchant has pending Chargebacks, Merchant authorizes Toast to instruct Payment Provider on Merchant’s behalf to delay payouts to the Merchant Bank Account. Further, if Toast reasonably believes that a Chargeback is likely with respect to any disputed Payment, Merchant authorizes Toast to instruct Payment Provider on Merchant’s behalf to withhold the amount of the potential Chargeback from Settlements or other payments otherwise due to Merchant under the Agreement until such time that: (a) a Chargeback is assessed, in which case Toast may instruct Payment Provider on Merchant’s behalf to retain the funds; (b) the period of time under Applicable Law and Rules by which Customer may dispute the Payment has expired; or (c) Toast determines that a Chargeback on the transaction will not occur, in which case Toast will promptly instruct Payment Provider on Merchant’s behalf to release the withheld funds back to Merchant. If Toast is unable to recover funds related to a Chargeback for which Merchant is liable, Toast may instruct Payment Provider on Merchant’s behalf to deduct the full amount of the applicable Chargeback from the Merchant Bank Account in accordance with the Agreement or, if Toast is unable to do so, Merchant shall pay Toast promptly upon demand. Merchant will pay all costs and expenses, including without limitation attorneys' fees, other legal expenses, and handling fees incurred by or on behalf of Toast in connection with the collection of all Chargebacks and Toast Account or Merchant’s Payment Provider Account deficit balances that are unpaid by Merchant. The terms and conditions of this Section 10 will survive termination of this Agreement.

11. Compliance. The Payment Networks require that Merchant and Toast comply with all Applicable Law and Rules. Applicable Law and Rules may prohibit or impose additional conditions or restrictions on Merchant, including without limitation assessing a surcharge for the use of a Card in connection with any transaction.

12. Errors. Toast will employ commercially reasonable efforts to rectify, or to cooperate with Payment provider to rectify, payment processing errors that Merchant processes incorrectly if and when Merchant notifies Toast of such an error. Merchant’s failure to notify Toast of a payment processing error within thirty (30) days of when it first appears on Merchant’s electronic transaction history will be deemed a waiver of any right to amounts owed to Merchant for such error.
