Terms of Service

This Terms of Service Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into by and between you, as a User (as defined below), and SHOP Corp, LLC., a Delaware corporation doing business as Shop, and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “Shop”). This Agreement contains the terms and conditions that govern the use of Shop’s all-in-one HR platform (the “Platform”). Shop directly, and through its website (https://shop.io) and the associated domains thereof (the “Site”), offers customers the products and services listed on the website (as such list may be updated, modified, or otherwise changed from time to time, collectively, the “Services”).
‍
This Agreement is applicable to all persons who use or access the Platform and/or the Services, in their company’s capacity or in an individual capacity, including authorized users representing the company, its employees, or other persons using or accessing the Services (collectively, “Users” and each, a “User”). If User is agreeing to these terms on behalf of a business or an individual other than User, User represents and warrants that User has authority to bind that business or other individual to this Agreement, and User’s agreement to these terms will be treated as the agreement of such business or individual. In that event, “User” also refers to that business or individual. By clicking the applicable button to indicate User’s acceptance of this Agreement, or by accessing or using the Platform, User agrees, effective as of the date of such action, to be bound by the Agreement.
‍
‍Please review Section 25 of this Agreement carefully, as it contains an arbitration provision and class action waiver which requires User to resolve disputes with Shop through final, binding arbitration on an individual basis. By entering into this Agreement, User is acknowledging that User has read and that User understands the terms of this Agreement and that User agrees to be bound by the arbitration provision and class action waiver.
‍
1. Additional Terms for Services
‍
Shop’s provision of any Service is subject to the terms of this Agreement and any supplemental terms referenced herein or which Shop may present User with for review and acceptance at the time User subscribes to such Service (each, “Service Terms”), and any Service Terms shall be incorporated into and form a part of this Agreement. If the terms hereof conflict with any Service Terms, the Service Terms will govern with respect to the matters contemplated thereby.In order to receive any Service, User must be enrolled in one of the following plans (each, a “Service Plan”), each of which is governed by the Service Terms listed next to such Service Plan and incorporated herein by reference, as applicable to User. User accepts the Service Terms listed next to the Service Plan which coincides with User’s Plan Selection (as defined below) or Service Plan access by (i) clicking the applicable button to indicate User’s Service Plan choice (the “Plan Selection”); (ii) clicking the applicable button to indicate User’s acceptance of this Agreement (in the event that User is already enrolled in a Service Plan); or (iii) accessing or using the Services. By taking any of the aforementioned actions, User agrees to be bound by the applicable Service Terms as of the time that such action occurs.
Shop’s provision of any Service is contingent upon User being actively enrolled in the Payroll Service (as defined in the Payroll Service Terms).
‍
2. Services Fees and Charges
‍
User agrees to pay the fees for the Services in accordance with the applicable fee schedules listed on the site and User authorizes Shop to debit User’s designated bank account, as specified by User through the Platform (the “Bank Account”), for all fees as they become payable. Unless otherwise stated in the applicable Service Terms, fees for the Services are typically based on the calendar months in which User is enrolled in any Services (so, for example, if User is enrolled in a Service Plan for a given calendar month, User would be charged for such month even if User does not run payroll in such month), and such fees are applied in full for a given calendar month, regardless of whether User is only enrolled in the Services for a portion of such month. Except for certain fees for particular add-on services that User has opted into, fees for the Services will be billed to User and debited from User’s Bank Account on a monthly calendar basis, in arrears. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Shop may invoice User for any applicable, outstanding fees, and User shall pay such invoice within fifteen (15) days of receipt thereof via money transfer, ACH, check, or any other payment method Shop may deem acceptable in its sole discretion. All fees are non-refundable. User agrees to reimburse Shop for any sales, use, and similar taxes arising from the provision of the Services that any federal, state, or local governments may impose. Shop may charge additional fees for exceptions processing, setup, and other special services (including optional add-on services).
‍
Shop reserves the right to change the fees for its Services from time to time. User will be notified of any change to existing fees at least thirty (30) days before the fee change goes into effect. If a fee increase or change to this Agreement is not acceptable to User, User may cancel the Services as provided herein prior to the time when such fee increase or change to this Agreement takes effect. User’s continued use of the Services beyond the cancellation window constitutes User’s agreement to those changes. If Shop is unable to collect fees due because of insufficient funds in User’s Bank Account or for any other reason, User must pay the amount due immediately upon demand, plus any applicable exceptions processing fees, bank fees, or charges for return items, plus interest at the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by law, plus attorneys’ fees and other costs of collection as permitted by law.
‍
3. Switching Service Plans 
‍
Shop currently offers several Service Plans with varying features and fee schedules, as well as multiple add-on services that User can choose to opt into for additional fees, unless otherwise stated. Before User may begin to use the Services, User will be asked to select a Service Plan from those detailed at https://shop.io. User may request to change User’s Service Plan via the Platform.If User chooses to upgrade from User’s current Service Plan (the “Current Plan”) to a more expensive Service Plan (the “New Upgrade Plan”), then such upgrade will promptly go into effect, and User will begin receiving access to the features and Services available under the New Upgrade Plan at the time of such upgrade. The fee schedule for the New Upgrade Plan will be applied to User’s Service Plan charge for the calendar month in which User upgraded and for each calendar month thereafter for so long as User is subscribed to the New Upgrade Plan.
‍
If User chooses to downgrade from User’s Current Plan to a less expensive Service Plan (the “New Downgrade Plan”), then the downgrade will not go into effect until the beginning of the calendar month following the calendar month in which User elected to downgrade (the “Downgrade Election Month”). User will still receive access to the features and Services available with User’s Current Plan until the end of the Downgrade Election Month. After the Downgrade Election Month, User will lose access to some of the features and Services available with User’s Current Plan and will only have access to the features and Services available under User’s New Downgrade Plan. The fee schedule for User’s Current Plan will be applied to User’s Service Plan charge for the Downgrade Election Month, and the fee schedule for the New Downgrade Plan will be applied to User’s Service Plan charge for the calendar month following the Downgrade Election Month and for each calendar month thereafter for so long as User is subscribed to the New Downgrade Plan.
