Refersion™ Terms of Service

Last updated: February 29, 2024

These Terms of Service (these “Terms”) are part of the  agreement (“Agreement”) between Refersion Inc., a New Jersey corporation (“Refersion”), and the business entity agreeing to them (“you” or “Customer”) and govern your use of the Services.  

The Agreement is effective as of the date you register for an online account with Refersion or the date you enter an Order Form with Refersion incorporating these Terms (the “Effective Date”).  If you are accepting the Agreement on Customer’s behalf, you represent and warrant that (i) you have full legal authority to bind Customer to the Agreement; (ii) you have read and understand the Agreement; and (iii) you agree, on Customer’s behalf, to the Agreement.  

The “Agreement” consists of these documents, in order of precedence: 

  1. for Merchants only, your “Merchant Terms,” meaning either:
    1. your Order Form (defined below); or
    2. the Refersion Plan pricing and limits viewable in your Account through the Services.
  2. these Terms;
  3. Pantastic’s Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”), Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”) (collectively, “URL Terms”); and 
  4. any other standard policies or community guidelines made available by the Services.

The terms of the Agreement vary depending on your role in using the Services, as Refersion’s Customers include both Merchants and Affiliates (each defined below).  You should carefully review all of the provisions of these Terms that apply to your role in using the Services.  

This Agreement is between Customer and Refersion.  It only applies to your relationship with Refersion, which is independent of your relationship with any other merchant, affiliate, or customer.  Any Merchant-Affiliate relationship, including any payment obligations arising therefrom, is governed separately by the contract between the Merchant and the Affiliate (written or otherwise).  

Refersion is not a party to any Merchant-Affiliate contract, and cannot compel a Merchant or Affiliate to perform its obligations under it.  Even if a Merchant and Affiliate are both enrolled in Refersion Pay, the Services’ role is solely to process payments authorized by the Merchant to the Affiliate using payment account information supplied by the respective parties.

Finally, Refersion is one of several affiliated companies offering e-commerce solutions under the corporate umbrella of RetailerX, Inc. (d/b/a Pantastic Networks (“Pantastic”).  Parts of the Agreement address how Refersion interacts with other Pantastic companies (collectively, “Pantastic Businesses”).

    2. Use of the Services.  During the Term and provided that the Agreement has not been terminated, and in consideration of the payment of the Fees, you may access the Services for the purpose of using Services pursuant and subject to the terms of the Agreement and any applicable Order Form.
    3. Documentation.  The Documentation may be reproduced solely as necessary to support use of the Services by you or your Authorized Users.
    4. Access Rights.  Refersion may suspend or terminate any Account if Refersion determines, in its sole discretion, that the goods or services offered via an outside store, or the materials uploaded or posted to an outside store, violate the AUP or these Terms.  Refersion will make reasonable efforts to promptly notify Authorized Users of the suspension.  Refersion may provide the Services to Customer’s competitors, and make no promise of exclusivity in any particular market segment.
    5. Affiliate Access.  From time to time, Refersion may communicate with Affiliates participating in Merchant programs regarding the Refersion Affiliate Marketplace and generally applicable affiliate marketing opportunities.  Such communication with the Affiliates participating in a particular Merchant program are subject to these Terms of Service, as accepted by such Affiliate and as modified from time to time as set forth herein, and the Privacy Policy.

Affiliate Sales Revenue.  Monthly Subscription Charges payable by Merchants are based on Affiliate Sales Revenue calculated from approved Transactions.  Merchant agrees to approve, deny or otherwise action all pending Transactions no later than the Action Deadline.  Any pending Transactions not actioned by Merchant prior to the Action Deadline will be automatically deemed approved by the Services, and are dated as of the Action Deadline for the purposes of calculating Affiliate Sales Revenue without further action by Merchant.  Merchants upgrading from a flat-fee plan to a variable subscription plan (which is based on Affiliate Sales Revenue) may need to action historical Transactions which, in turn, may result in additional payments owed to Affiliates and Refersion. 
    3. Currency.  For Fees purposes, any Affiliate Sales Revenue paid in a currency other than U.S.  Dollars is automatically converted to the applicable value in U.S. Dollars at the time Refersion invoices Customer for Fees.  The Services will continue to display Affiliate Sales Revenue in the transaction currency for all other purposes, such as calculating Affiliate commission amounts.
    4. Payment of Fees.  Merchant authorizes Refersion to charge an amount equal to the amount of the Fees on a monthly basis (or on such dates as the Order Form provides), and any additional amounts as permitted by the Agreement, to the payment card and/or bank account specified in the Order Form, for the duration of each Term.  Merchant hereby agrees to keep such valid payment card and/or bank account in effect with sufficient credit limit to enable Refersion to charge the Fees every month, quarter or other period of each Term, as applicable, and not to challenge such charges or to request reversal of such charges.  Refersion will not be required to refund any Fees, except in the event of Refersion’s fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct.
    5. Taxes.  All Fees are exclusive of, and Merchant is responsible for, applicable sales, use, excise, export or other applicable taxes, except for taxes on the net income of Refersion.  Refersion may add any such taxes to the applicable Fees.

  3. PUBLICITY.  Customer will permit Refersion to use Customer’s name and trademarks and service marks to identify Customer as Refersion’s customer on the Website and in sales and marketing materials and activities, unless Customer objects to such use to Refersion in writing.

      2. These Terms.  Refersion may change these Terms from time to time and will post any such changes to the URL where these Terms are available and updating the “Last Updated” date at the top of these Terms.  Any material changes will only take effect as of (i) Customer’s next term, as specified in the Order Form or (ii) the “Last Updated” date above, if no Order Form specifying a term is in effect.  Customer’s continued use of the Services after such changes take effect will constitute its acceptance of the changes. 
      3.

    5.

    6. Severability.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereby waive any provision of law that would render any clause of the Agreement invalid or otherwise unenforceable in any respect.  In the event that a provision of the Agreement is held to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable, such provision will be interpreted to fulfill its intended purpose to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and the remaining provisions of the Agreement will continue in full force and effect.
    7. No Waiver.  Neither party waives any rights under the Agreement except by an express written waiver from an authorized representative.  No waiver of a breach of the Agreement will constitute a waiver of any other breach of the Agreement.
    8.

    9. Conflicts.  In the event of a conflict between these Terms and any Refersion policy posted online (such as the Privacy Policy), these Terms control except to the extent any such policy specifically states that it controls over these Terms.  In the event of a conflict between the Merchant Terms and any other part of the Agreement, the Merchant Terms control.

Technology Export.  Customer will not: (a) permit any third party to access or use the Services in violation of any U.S. law or regulation; or (b) export any software provided by Refersion or otherwise remove it from the United States except in compliance with all applicable U.S.  laws and regulations.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Customer will not permit access, use or export the Services in or to a person or country subject to a United States embargo.
    12. Entire Agreement.  The Agreement sets forth the entire agreement of the parties and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous writings, negotiations, and discussions with respect to its subject matter.  Neither party has relied upon any such prior or contemporaneous communications.
