9. TRANSACTION MONITORING

Tab Commerce currently uses Astrada and the Payment Card Networks (Visa and Mastercard) to monitor card transactions for your use of the Tab Commerce platform. Your agreement to the Tab Commerce Terms of Service authorizes Astrada and the Payment Card Networks to monitor the transactions made with your registered eligible payment cards via the Tab Commerce platform. The data collected from Astrada includes your registered card identifier, merchant, transaction date/time, amount and other transaction elements (currency, Payment Card Network etc).

Your company has obtained consent, as recognized under applicable law, from you as a cardholder of an Eligible Payment Card. This consent authorizes Payment Card Networks to access and share your transaction details with Tab Commerce and your company to facilitate your use of the Tab Commerce platform.

10. CARD AND TRANSACTION ELIGIBILITY

You acknowledge that Visa or Mastercard may be unable to monitor every transaction made with your enrolled Visa and Mastercard including some PIN-based purchases on debit cards (debit transactions should be authorized via signature and not PIN in order to be monitored), purchases you initiate through identification technology that substitutes for a PIN, payments of existing balances, balance transfers, or transactions that are not processed or submitted through the Visa or Mastercard payment systems, and that these transactions are not eligible. You may opt out of this monitoring at any time by accessing your Tab Commerce account and deleting your registered card(s) from the platform. If you register a debit card, your transaction must be processed as a ‘credit’ (i.e., signature) transaction to make sure the transaction can be monitored. Do not use a Personal Identification Number (PIN) when paying for your purchases with your enrolled card if you want the transaction to be available for view or action on the Tab Commerce platform.

Not all Visa and Mastercard cards are eligible for registration, including some PIN based purchases on debit cards (debit transactions should be authorized via signature and not PIN in order to be monitored), purchases you initiate through identification technology that substitutes for a PIN, payments made through other payment methods (such as a third party payment app, where you may choose your Visa and Mastercard card as a funding source but you do not present your card directly to the merchant). Visa and Mastercard non-reloadable prepaid cards, government-administered prepaid cards (including EBT cards), Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or insurance prepaid cards, Visa Buxx, and Visa and Mastercard-branded cards whose transactions are not processed through the Visa payment system and Mastercard payment system are not eligible to participate.

If full payment is not received via the automatic debit, you will have a seven (7) calendar day grace period to correct the payment. If full payment is not received by the end of this grace period, your account will be considered past due.

In the event of non-payment after the grace period, a late fee of 300 basis points (3%) per 30 days will be assessed on the unpaid balance, accrued daily at a rate of 0.10% per day, beginning on the day after the grace period ends and continuing until the outstanding balance is paid in full. All late fees are due to and collected directly by our capital partner, Oat Financial, Inc., which also manages the billing and collections process for past due accounts.

Tab Commerce reserves the right to suspend or restrict account privileges in the event of late payment. Oat Financial, Inc. may initiate collection efforts as permitted by law, and you agree to be responsible for all reasonable costs of collection, including legal fees, incurred by Oat Financial, Inc. in the event of default.

27. CARD REWARDS PROGRAM 

To be eligible for rewards, your Tab Commerce account must remain in good standing. Your account will be considered not in good standing if it becomes delinquent, or if Tab Commerce determines, in its sole discretion, that you are abusing or misusing the rewards program, or have violated our Terms of Service or any other applicable terms, agreements, or policies incorporated by reference. If your account is not in good standing for any reason, you may become ineligible to earn or redeem rewards and may forfeit any rewards previously earned. Tab Commerce reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to condition, restrict, limit, suspend, or revoke your rewards eligibility or any rewards awarded.

If your account is in good standing, you may earn cash back rewards on all purchases made using your Tab Commerce charge card at the rate specified at the time of sale and disclosed to you accordingly. Cash back rewards are calculated monthly and will be deposited into your Tab Commerce Rewards Account within ten (10) business days following the close of the previous calendar month. Only transactions that are settled and not disputed, refunded, or reversed will qualify for rewards. Any transactions pending at the close of the month, will be added to the following month’s cash back calculations once posted. 

Tab Commerce reserves the right to modify the cash back rate, eligible transaction types, or rewards payout schedule at any time, with or without notice, subject to applicable law.

29. ARBITRATION‍

Except as expressly stated below, you and Tab Commerce agree to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy arising from or relating to your use of the Platform or any Tab Commerce product or service—including those related to these Terms—through final and binding arbitration, not in court. This applies to all claims, whether based on statute, contract, tort, fraud, or any other legal theory.


Arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its applicable rules, including the Commercial Arbitration Rules and, if relevant, the Consumer-Related Disputes Supplement. The arbitration will occur in a mutually agreed location or, if not agreed, in your county of residence. The arbitrator’s decision may be entered as a judgment in any court with jurisdiction.


You and Tab Commerce agree to arbitrate disputes individually. Neither party may participate in or bring a class, collective, consolidated, or representative action, and the arbitrator may not combine claims of others.
Either party may bring individual claims in small claims court or seek injunctive or equitable relief in court to prevent actual or threatened misuse of intellectual property rights.

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to support@tabcommerce.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms (or any material change to this clause). Written notice may also be sent to: SquareMarket Technologies, Inc., Attn: Legal Dept. #1176 1401 Lava Street Austin, TX 78701 United States. Your notice must include your name, mailing address, and a clear statement of your intent to opt out. If you do not opt out in time, you are bound by this arbitration agreement.
