According to the FinCEN legislation, the Beneficial Ownership Rule states “a bank must establish and maintain written procedures that are reasonably designed to identify and verify beneficial owner(s) of legal entity customers and to include such procedures in its anti-money laundering compliance program.” Translation: All covered financial institutions must collect and verify information from all significant owners of legal entities and their accounts. They must collect all of this information when the new account is opened.
The terminology used in the legislation is a bit ambiguous, so let’s start by breaking down the key players the new rule applies to.
Legal entity: A corporation, LLC, partnership, general partnership, other entity created by filing a public document with a Secretary of State or similar office, or any similar entity formed under the laws of a foreign jurisdiction that opens an account.
Beneficial Owner: Each individual with 25% or more equity interest in the legal entity, whether directly or indirectly.
A legal entity will have a minimum of one and a maximum of five beneficial owners. That is the according the lowest equity interest threshold that FinCEN has established. Banks can have a stricter equity threshold that defines a “beneficial owner,” but that is up to the discretion of individual institutions.
The Beneficial Ownership Rule goes further and describes the organizational structure of the beneficial owners of the legal entity – there is a control prong and subsequent ownership prongs. The control prong, of which there must be one, is the person with the most control and responsibility over the account, like a CEO, COO, or company president. Ownership prongs are any person who owns 25% or more of the equity interests in the account.
As with every government regulation, there are exclusions and exemptions. If you fall under one of these categories, you do not need to supply the same level of personal information that a beneficial owner would.
Sole Proprietorships
Unincorporated Associations
Trusts (other than statutory trusts created by a filing with a Secretary of State or similar office)
Authorized Users for credit cards
Non-Account Owners
Note: These excluded parties do not require the collection of evidence supporting their exclusion.

In 2008, the US Congress passed the Housing and Economic Recovery Act. This legislation contains a new federal regulation created to help the IRS identify under reported sales.
The law requires "merchant acquiring entities" to file a Form 1099-K with the IRS (an information return) that reports year-end gross amounts of their merchants' credit, debit, gift card, and e-commerce transactions.
In order to provide the IRS with the required information, all merchant acquiring entities must collect and verify the Tax Identification Number (TIN) and associated legal business name and address for each merchant on file.
We first try to electronically match your information with the IRS database. If the data doesn't match, we will ask for supporting documentation.
A screenshot of the top portion of your last Federal Tax Return.
The SS4 Letter sent by IRS when you registered for a TIN.
By law, we are required to withhold a minimum of 28% of your sales and remit this to the IRS. You are not able to get these funds back until you file your next tax return.
To help you prepare for the application process here is a list of details you will need to complete the application process.
Business Information includes:
Contact Information
FEIN (Federal Employer Identification Number)
Business Type (Corp, LLC, etc...)
Approximate monthly volume
Bank account details (name on account, routing, and checking account number)
Owner Information includes:
Contact Information
Ownership Percentage
Social Security Number

Required Owner Information
Can't recall what your business type is? Here are descriptions of each type to assist you with recalling your business type.
Limited Liability Company (LLC) is one of the most common business types, its owner(s), called Member(s), are not personally liable for the business's debts. The IRS issues an Employer Identification Number for this business type.
Private Corporations (INC) are a separate legal entity, so owners (known as shareholders, directors, or officers) aren't personally liable for business debts. The IRS issues this entity an Employer Identification Number.
Sole Proprietorship is the simplest business type to set up and owned by one person, and that individual is personally liable for the business debts and obligations.
Partnerships are owned by two or more people whom may share liability personally (like a sole proprietorship), or partners may have limited liability. This includes general partnerships, limited partnerships (LP), and limited liability partnerships (LLP).
Public-traded corporations may sell shares of their business on the Stock Exchange but are subject to regulations and public reporting.
Government entities are local, state, and federal agencies such as schools or municipalities.

Jupico supports a variety of card transaction types, allowing you to customize your payment processing flow based on your business requirements. This page provides an overview of the different card transaction types available and how they work within Jupico's platform.
An authorization is a process of reserving funds on a customer's card without charging them immediately. This enables you to confirm the transaction at a later time, ensuring the availability of funds before providing the goods or services. Authorizations are typically used in scenarios where the final transaction amount is uncertain or when a delay between the transaction and the delivery of goods or services is expected.
A capture is the process of confirming a previously authorized transaction, charging the customer for the reserved amount. Captures are used in conjunction with authorizations to complete a two-step payment process. This allows businesses to collect payment once the goods or services have been delivered or the final transaction amount is determined.
A sale transaction combines both authorization and capture in a single step, charging the customer immediately upon transaction approval. This transaction type is ideal for businesses that provide instant access to goods or services or when the final transaction amount is known at the time of purchase.
A Address Verification Service (AVS) Only transaction may be used by sub-merchants to determine whether to accept a transaction. This type of transaction only returns AVS information and does not request authorization. The format of the AVS information is exactly the same as the format used for Sale transactions.
A void transaction cancels a previously authorized or captured transaction before it is settled. This allows businesses to reverse a transaction in case of an error or a change in the customer's order. Void transactions can only be performed before the transaction has been settled.
A refund transaction returns funds to the customer's card for a previously settled transaction. Refunds are typically issued in cases of returns, cancellations, or customer disputes. It is important to note that refunds can only be processed after the original transaction has been settled.
The rollback (or Communications/System Reversal) is generated when there is a problem delivering the response back to the server side code. It is the transaction requestor’s responsibility to generate a rollback transaction for all transactions that do not receive responses.

Form 1099-K, Payment Card and Third Party Network Transactions, is an IRS information return used to report payment transactions received through payment card processors and third-party settlement organizations (TPSOs). This form assists in ensuring that income from goods and services is accurately reported for tax purposes.
For the 2025 tax year, you will receive a Form 1099-K if:
Payment Card Transactions: You received payments from credit, debit, or stored-value cards, regardless of the amount or number of transactions.
Third-Party Network Transactions: You received payments for goods or services through a TPSO (e.g., payment apps, online marketplaces) exceeding $2,500 in total gross payments during the calendar year.
Note: The threshold for TPSO reporting has been gradually reduced in recent years. For the 2024 tax year, the threshold was $5,000, and it is set to decrease to $600 for the 2026 tax year.
If you received a Form 1099-K, it indicates that a payment settlement entity processed reportable payment transactions on your behalf that met the reporting thresholds. This form reports the gross amount of all reportable payment transactions, which includes:
Total Payment Volume: The sum of all payments received for goods and services before any deductions, such as fees, refunds, or adjustments.
Receiving a Form 1099-K does not necessarily mean that the entire amount is taxable income. You should maintain accurate records to determine the taxable portion, accounting for deductions like business expenses, refunds, and other allowable adjustments.
Upon receiving your Form 1099-K:
Review the Form: Ensure all information is accurate, including your taxpayer information and the gross payment amounts.
Reconcile with Your Records: Compare the amounts reported with your own records to confirm consistency.
Report Income Accurately: Use the information from Form 1099-K, along with your records, to report your income on your tax return. Remember, all income is taxable unless specifically excluded by law, regardless of whether you receive a Form 1099-K.

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of security standards designed to ensure that ALL companies that accept, process, store or transmit credit card information maintain a secure environment.
The Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) was launched on September 7, 2006 to manage the ongoing evolution of the Payment Card Industry (PCI) security standards with a focus on improving payment account security throughout the transaction process. The PCI DSS is administered and managed by the PCI SSC (www.pcisecuritystandards.org), an independent body that was created by the major payment card brands (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and JCB.). It is important to note that the payment brands and acquirers are responsible for enforcing compliance, not the PCI council.
How-to's and FAQs for PCI Compliance.
As part of our commitment to maintaining a secure payments ecosystem, all businesses that process payments are required to validate compliance with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) annually. PCI compliance protects your business and customers from data breaches, fraud, and identity theft that could result in severe financial penalties. While Jupico manages most compliance requirements, we ask our merchants to attest that their organization meets PCI DSS standards.
If you received an email from support@pciapply.com, this was from Jupico and the self-assessment questionnaire will take less than 5 minutes to complete!
Upon getting started, you will find 8 out of 14 questions have been completed based on the integration methodology your Service Provider uses. This means you do not need to make any changes in the Merchant Information or Questionnaire Selection sections and just hit “Save & Continue” to get to the last section.
Section 3 is where you need to answer the remaining 6 questions by confirming these policies and programs are in place with the third-party service providers you are engaging with (your software Service Provider and Jupico).
After that, all you must do is review, sign, and YOU'RE DONE!
Please note, PCI DSS 4.0.1 takes effect on March 31, 2025, bringing key changes that may impact your compliance:
Any requirements previously marked as best practices will become mandatory.
Before starting the SAQ, a new acknowledgement window will appear, asking you to confirm any pre-requisites for the SAQ-A.
If you have any questions, please call our team of experts to guide you at (833) 209-7076.

Transfers of information permitted under this notice, either to third parties or within Jupi Co, may include the transfer of data from one jurisdiction to another, such as transfers to and from the United States of America.

If you believe that third-party material hosted by Jupi CO infringes your copyright or trademark rights, please file a notice of infringement by contacting us at: Support@jupico.com. Please read this entire document before submitting a notice.
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) requires hosting providers to remove or disable access to potentially infringing content upon receipt of a notice that meets certain requirements. For content hosted by Jupi CO, Jupi CO’s policy is to comply with notices alleging copyright infringement pursuant to the DMCA. Section 512 of the DMCA outlines the requirements for reporting a copyright violation for copyright owners, as well as requirements for submitting a counter-notification by an affected party. Jupi CO applies a similar framework to allegations of trademark infringement.
We send a copy of each notice we receive to the alleged infringer, if applicable.
To submit a notice alleging trademark or copyright infringement, you need to provide us with the following information:
1. An electronic or physical signature (typing a full name in the reporting form or an email will be sufficient) of the copyright or trademark owner or a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner;
2. A description of the material that you claim has been infringed:
For copyright, please identify and describe the copyrighted work, and provide a URL where we can see an example of the copyrighted work;
For trademark rights, include the basis for your claim, such as a national or community trademark registration and any applicable registration number, the country or jurisdiction, and the description of goods and/or services for which you claim rights;
3. Identification of the claimed infringing material, including the URL(s)of such material on Jupi CO’s applications, websites, or services;
4. Contact information, including the name of the owner of the copyright or trademark at issue and your name, title, address, telephone number, and email address;
5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the claimed infringing material is not authorized by the copyright or trademark owner, its agent, or the law; and
6. A statement made under penalty of perjury, that the information provided in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright or trademark owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the owner.
If you believe that third-party material hosted by, posted on, or accessible through Jupi CO’s applications, websites, and services infringes your copyright or trademark rights, please send a notice of infringement to Jupi CO’s designated agent by filing a report here.
By submitting the infringement notice, you acknowledge and agree that Jupi CO or its designated agent may forward the information you provide in your notice to the person responsible for the allegedly infringing material.
Copyright laws of the United States require you to consider copyright defenses, limitations, or exceptions, such as the fair use doctrine, before sending a notice. If you are not sure whether the material infringes your copyright or whether the fair use doctrine applies, we suggest you contact an attorney. Please be aware that under 17 U.S.C. (s) 512(f) of the DMCA, you may be liable for any damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by us or our merchants if you knowingly and materially misrepresent that an activity or material is infringing.
While the online form is the easiest and quickest way to submit your notice to us, if you prefer, you may also write to Jupi CO’s designated agent at the following address. If you write to us, please be sure to provide all the information listed above.

If your material has been removed or disabled as a result of an infringement notice and you believe that your material is not infringing, or that you have the authorization or right to post and use that material from the copyright or trademark owner, that owner’s agent, or pursuant to law, you may send a counter-notice to Jupi CO’s designated agent at the address above.
The counter-notice must include:
1. Your physical or electronic signature;
2. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled;
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification;
4. Your name, address, and telephone number; and
5. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the address is located, or if your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which Jupi CO may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of infringement or an agent of such person.
Jupi CO or its designated agent will forward your counter-notice to the party who submitted the infringement notice. If the copyright or trademark owner does not file an action seeking a court order to restrain you from engaging in infringing activity related to the removed or disabled material within ten business days of receiving the counter-notice from Jupi CO, then Jupi CO may reinstate the removed or disabled material.
If you believe that content hosted by, posted on, or accessible through Jupi CO’s applications, websites or services uses your name, voice, signature, image or likeness, or that of your minor child, without your permission and in violation of a legally recognized right of publicity, we encourage you first to contact the user directly about your concerns. If that does not resolve your concerns, you may file a notice here.
Jupi CO’s policy is to suspend or terminate the accounts of repeat infringers. The manner in which we apply that policy may depend on relevant aggravating or mitigating circumstances, if any, but generally we will terminate an account if it is the subject of three valid infringement notices.
We love all of the passion and enthusiasm for Jupi CO and our products and services, but we must be mindful of our brand identity, our reputation, and the goodwill developed under our trademarks, logos, product designs, trade dresses, user interfaces, and other assets. That means that we must ensure that these assets are used only with our permission. For example, only Jupi CO (and its affiliated companies) and its authorized licensees may use the Jupi CO Logo in advertising, promotional, and sales materials. Licensees may use Jupi CO assets only as specified in their agreement with Jupi CO and pursuant to applicable guidelines. Developers and businesses that use Jupi CO payment processing services on their websites may use specific Jupi CO trademark assets pursuant to Jupi CO API trademark terms.
If you have any questions, or if you see our trademarks being misused, please contact Jupi CO’s trademark department: support@Jupico.com

Any action or proceeding by you relating to any Dispute must commence within one year after the cause of action accrues.
23. Binding Arbitration
You and Jupi Co agree to arbitrate any and all Disputes by a neutral arbitrator who has the power to award the same individual damages and individual relief that a court can. ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL ONLY BE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS, REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS, AND CONSOLIDATION WITH OTHER ARBITRATIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED. YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO HAVE YOUR CASE DECIDED BY A JURY AND YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AGAINST JUPI CO. If any provision of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be severed, and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced (but in no case will there be a class or representative arbitration). All Disputes will be resolved finally and exclusively by binding individual arbitration with a single arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”) administered by the American Arbitration Association (https://www.adr.org) according to this Section and the applicable arbitration rules for that forum. The Arbitrator shall be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to the Agreement (or any aspect thereof) are enforceable, unconscionable or illusory and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel. Subject to applicable jurisdictional requirements, you may elect to pursue your claim in your local small-claims court rather than through arbitration so long as your matter remains in small claims court and proceeds only on an individual (non-class or non-representative) basis. The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, fully applies. If you are a consumer bringing a claim relating to a transaction intended for a personal, household, or family use, any arbitration hearing will occur within the county where you reside. Otherwise, any arbitration hearing will occur in Collin County, Texas, or another mutually agreeable location. The arbitrator’s award will be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. While an arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief, the Arbitrator may do so only with respect to the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual party’s claim. An Arbitrator’s decision and judgment thereon will not have a precedential or collateral estoppel effect. Jupi Co will reimburse the arbitration fees due to the American Arbitration Association for individual arbitrations brought in accordance with this section for all claims totaling less than $5,000 unless the Arbitrator determines that your claims were frivolous. If you prevail on any claim for which you are legally entitled to attorney’s fees, you may seek to recover those fees from the arbitrator. For any claim where you are seeking relief, we will not seek to have you pay our attorney’s fees, even if fees might otherwise be awarded, unless the Arbitrator determines that your claim was frivolous. For purposes of this arbitration provision, references to you and Jupi Co also include respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors, successors and assigns as well as authorized users or beneficiaries of the Services. Subject to and without waiver of the arbitration provisions above, you agree that any judicial proceedings (other than small claims actions in consumer cases as discussed above) will be brought in and you hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state courts in the County of Collin, Texas, or federal court for the Northern District of Texas.
24. Governing Law
This Agreement and any Dispute will be governed by Texas law and/or applicable federal law (including the Federal Arbitration Act), without regard to its choice of law or conflicts of law principles.
25. Assignment
This Agreement, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you and any attempted transfer or assignment will be null and void.
26. Third Party Services and Links to Other Websites
You may be offered Services, products and promotions provided by third parties and not by Jupi Co, including, but not limited to, third party developers who use Jupi Co’s Services (“Third Party Services”). If you decide to use Third Party Services, you will be responsible for reviewing and understanding the terms and conditions for these Services. We are not responsible or liable for the performance of any Third Party Services. Further, you agree to resolve any disagreement between you and a third party regarding the terms and conditions of any Third Party Services with that third party directly in accordance with the terms and conditions of that relationship, and not Jupi Co. The Services may contain links to third party websites. The inclusion of any website link does not imply an approval, endorsement, or recommendation by Jupi Co. Such third party websites are not governed by this Agreement. You access any such website at your own risk. We expressly disclaim any liability for these websites. When you use a link to go from the Services to a third party website, our Privacy Notice is no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on a third party website, including those that have a link in the Services is subject to that website’s own terms, rules, and policies.
27. Entire Agreement
This Agreement and any applicable Policies are a complete statement of the agreement between you and Jupi Co regarding the Services. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and any other Jupi Co agreement or Policy, this Agreement will prevail and control the subject matter of such conflict. If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, then it will be changed and interpreted to accomplish the objectives of such provision to the greatest extent possible under applicable law, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. This Agreement does not limit any rights that we may have under trade secret, copyright, patent, or other laws. No waiver of any term of this Agreement will be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term.
Jupi Co works with third party processing parties, Networks and Acquirer(s) to provide you with access to the Services you may use to accept payments from your Customers for Transactions, perform other financial transactions, manage subscriptions, and perform transaction reporting (“Payment Processing Services”).
For purpose of this Agreement, an “Acquirer” means a financial institution that is authorized by Networks to enable the use of a payment method by accepting Charges from Customers on behalf of the respective Network and routing these Charges to the appropriate Network. “Charge” means a credit or debit instruction to capture funds from an account that a Customer maintains with a bank or other financial institution in connection with a Transaction.
At Jupi Co’s sole discretion, you may be offered Payment Processing Services provided by Stripe, Inc (“Stripe”). Payment Processing Services provided by Stripe are subject to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which includes the Stripe Terms of Service (collectively, the “Stripe Services Agreement”) and subject to certain fees and surcharges communicated to you during the enrollment process and as may be updated by Jupi Co from time to time. By enrolling in the Payment Processing Services provided by Stripe, you agree to be bound by the Stripe Services Agreement, as the same may be modified by Stripe from time to time. Further, you agree to provide Jupi Co accurate and complete information about you and your business, and you authorize Jupi Co to share it and transaction information related to your use of the Payment Processing Services provided by Stripe pursuant to our Privacy Policy.
1. Our Role
Jupi Co is a payment facilitator that allows you to accept Cards from customers for the payment for goods and services. We are not a bank and do not offer banking services. Our Payment Processing Services allow you to accept payments from any US-issued and most non-US issued credit, debit, prepaid, or gift cards (“Cards”) bearing the trademarks of American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc. (“American Express”), DFS Services, LLC (“Discover”), MasterCard International Inc. (“MasterCard”) and Visa Inc. (“Visa”) (collectively, the “Networks”). You are not required to accept any card brand as a condition of receiving the Payment Processing Services. We may remove or add Cards that we accept at any time without prior notice.
In order to serve in this role, we must enter into agreements with Networks, processors and acquiring banks (each, a “Payment Method Provider”). A Payment Method Provider may terminate your ability to accept a Card at any time and for any reason, in which case you will no longer be able to accept that Card under this Agreement. Jupi Co may add, change or remove a Payment Method Provider at any time and for any reason without notice to you. Additionally, the Networks require that any person that signs up for a Jupi Co Account to use Payment Processing Services (a “Seller”) and processes more than Networks specified amounts of Cards sales enter into an agreement directly with Jupi Co’s acquiring banks. By accepting or using the Payment Processing Services to submit Charges, you agree to the terms and conditions of the applicable “Merchant Services Agreement, section C” effective as of the date you process such specified amounts or as otherwise required by Jupi Co’s acquiring banks. See Section C for more details. If you fail to agree to the Merchant Services Agreement, we may suspend or terminate your Jupi Co Account. Similarly, if the Networks considers you to be a high value customer, it may require that you maintain your agreement directly with American Express (and designate Jupi Co as your agent for American Express payments) or the Acquirer Bank. If that is the case, we will notify you of such requirements.
2. Your Authorization for Settlement of Proceeds and for Jupi Co to Recover Funds
In connection with the Payment Processing Services, you authorize us to act as your agent for the purposes of holding, receiving, and disbursing funds on your behalf. Your authorization permits us to generate a paper draft or an electronic funds transfer to settle the proceeds of each Card transaction that you authorize, less any applicable Fees (as defined in Section 4) (“Proceeds”). Your authorizations will remain in full force and effect until the later of closure or termination of your Jupi Co Account, or the disbursement of all funds held on your behalf. Our receipt of transaction funds satisfies your customer’s obligations to make payment to you. We will remit to you funds actually received by us on your behalf, less amounts owed to us, subject to any Chargeback provisions (as defined in Section 17-20) or Reserve (as defined in Section 14) withheld or applied.
In addition, by using the Payment Processing Services, you authorize us to recover funds from you in accordance with these Payment Terms, the Agreement and any other agreement you have with us (“Recovery Authorizations.”). Recovery Authorizations include your authorization of Jupi Co to debit, charge, setoff against and otherwise recover funds from any connected Jupi Co Account, any Balance (as defined in these Payment Terms) any Reserve (as defined in these Payment Terms), any payment instrument, linked bank, depository and other account registered in your Jupi Co Account.
Further, in the event that any attempt to recover funds from you should fail, Recovery Authorizations include your grant to Jupi Co of new, original authorizations to recover all or less than all of the amount you owe us and/or belong to us. Recovery Authorizations include all authorizations to take the above steps without prior notice to you and irrespective of (i) whether we have made demand under these Payment Terms, the Agreement or any other agreement you have with us; and (ii) whether the obligation is contingent, matured or unmatured. Recovery Authorizations include all authorizations to take the above steps in complete compliance with the Network Rules (as defined in these Payment Terms) and the National Automated Clearing House Association -The Electronic Payments Association Operating Rules and Guidelines (“NACHA Rules”). You agree that your grant of Recovery Authorizations to us has the same legal effect as if you had signed a paper containing the same terms.
3. Our Fees
You agree to pay the applicable fees listed as described in your Dashboard (“Fees”) for use of the Payment Processing Services. All Fees are charged at the time we process a transaction and are deducted first from the transferred or collected funds and thereafter from the Balance (as defined in Section 14) in your Jupi Co Account. You also grant us Recovery Authorizations; which we may utilize to recover fees you owe us. Subject to the General Terms and these Payment Terms, we reserve the right to change the Fees upon reasonable advance notice. All Balances and all Fees, charges, and payments collected or paid through the Payment Processing Services are denominated in US dollars.
4. Processing Errors
We will attempt to fix processing errors we discover. If an error results in your receipt of fewer funds than you are entitled, we will credit your Jupi Co Account for the difference. You grant us Recovery Authorizations concerning processing errors. If an error results in your receipt of more funds than you are entitled, Jupi Co may recover the extra funds from you. We will only correct transactions that you process incorrectly if you notify us of such an error. Your failure to notify us of a processing error within thirty (30) days of when it first appears on your electronic transaction history will be deemed a waiver of any right to amounts owed to you.
Payment Account Setup
5. Jupi Co Account Registration for Payment Processing Services
You must open a Jupi Co Account to access any Proceeds. You confirm that you are either a legal resident of the United States, a United States citizen, or a business entity authorized to conduct business by the state(s) in which you operate and that you are an authorized signatory for the business you represent. You must use your or your business’ true and accurate name when opening a Jupi Co Account. This name will appear on the credit or debit card statements of your customers for all payments you accept using the Payment Processing Services.
6. Underwriting and Identity Verification
Jupi Co will review the information you submit while signing up for the Payment Processing Services. You authorize Jupi Co to request identity verifying information about you, including a consumer report that contains your name and address. Jupi Co may periodically obtain additional reports to determine whether you continue to meet the requirements for a Jupi Co Account. You permit Jupi Co to share information about you and your application (including whether you are approved or declined), and your Jupi Co Account with your bank or other financial institution, or as otherwise specified in the User Privacy Notice. Jupi Co or its processor and/or acquiring bank may conclude that you will not be permitted to use the Payment Processing Services.
7. Requests for Additional Information and Inspection
Jupi Co may request additional information from you at any time. For example, Jupi Co may ask you to present invoices from your suppliers, a government issued identification such as a passport or driver’s license, a business license, or other information. Jupi Co may also ask for permission to inspect your business location. If you refuse any of these requests, your Jupi Co Account may be suspended or terminated.
Use of Your Jupi Co Account for Payment Processing Services
8. Access to Proceeds
We will settle Proceeds to your verified bank account or other account approved by Jupi Co, subject to the payout schedule described in Section 10. If Jupi Co is not able to debit or credit the bank account you link to your Jupi Co Account, that bank account will be de-linked from your Jupi Co Account. If you do not have an ACH-enabled bank account linked to your Jupi Co Account, you may request a physical check for Proceeds. Check requests may be subject to a processing fee and an identity verification process. You must request a check or link an ACH-enabled bank account to your Jupi Co Account in order to receive your Proceeds.
9. Payout Schedule
Jupi Co will automatically initiate a payout of Proceeds to your valid, linked US bank account at the end of the business day before 5 p.m. PT (8 p.m. ET), except on Friday (which such payout of Friday Proceeds is initiated the following Sunday before 5 p.m. PT (8 p.m. ET)). If you adjust your business’s close of day to a custom time, Jupi Co will group Proceeds for the 24-hour period preceding your custom time and initiate a payout at the end of that business day. Jupi Co will initiate a payout of Proceeds received on non-business days before the next business day.
10. Availability of Proceeds
We may defer payout or restrict access to your Proceeds if we need to conduct an investigation or resolve any pending dispute related to your use of the Services. We also may defer payout or restrict access to your Proceeds as necessary to comply with applicable law or court order, or if requested by any governmental entity.
11. Jupi Co Account History
When a payment is made to your Jupi Co Account, we will update your Jupi Co Account activity on the website and provide you a transaction confirmation. The confirmation will serve as your receipt. Summaries of your Jupi Co Account activity, including monthly statements, are available on our website for up to one year of account activity. Except as required by law, you are solely responsible for (a) compiling and retaining permanent records of all transactions and other data associated with your Jupi Co Account and your use of the Payment Processing Services, and (b) reconciling all transactional information that is associated with your Jupi Co Account. If you believe that there is an error or unauthorized transaction activity is associated with your Jupi Co Account, you must contact us immediately.
12. Reserve for Holding Funds
We may withhold funds by temporarily suspending or delaying payouts of Proceeds to you and/or designate an amount of funds that you must maintain in your Jupi Co Accounts or in a separate reserve account (a “Reserve”) to secure the performance of your obligations under any agreement between you and Jupi Co. We may require a Reserve for any reason related to your use of the Services. The Reserve will be in an amount as reasonably determined by us to cover potential losses to Jupi Co. The Reserve may be raised, reduced or removed at any time by Jupi Co, in its sole discretion, based on your payment history, a credit review, the amount of any arbitration award or court judgment against you in Jupi Co’s favor, or otherwise as Jupi Co or its processor may determine or require. If you do not have sufficient funds in your Reserve, we may fund the Reserve from any funding source associated with your Jupi Co Accounts, including any funds (a) deposited by you, (b) due to you, or (c) available in your bank account, or other payment instrument registered with us. You grant us a security interest in and lien on any and all funds held in any Reserve, and also authorize us to make any withdrawals or debits from the Reserve or any bank account linked to any of your Jupi Co Accounts, without prior notice to you, to collect amounts that you owe us. You will execute any additional documentation required for us to perfect our security interest in any funds in the Reserve. This security interest survives for as long as we hold funds in your Reserve.
13. Jupi Co Account Balances
While you have funds in your Jupi Co Account (your “Balance”), your Balance will be co-mingled and held with other participants’ funds in one or more pooled accounts at one or more banks by us on your behalf and for the benefit of you and others holding balances (each a “Pooled Account”). We have sole discretion over the establishment and maintenance of any pooled account. We will not voluntarily make funds available to our creditors in the event of bankruptcy or for any other purpose. You will not receive interest or any other earnings on any funds that we handle for you. As consideration for using the Payment Processing Services, you irrevocably assign to us all rights and legal interests to any interest and/or other earnings that may accrue or are attributable to our holding of your Balance in a Pooled Account or Reserve.
14. Our Set-off Rights; Security Interest
You grant us a security interest in, as well as a right of setoff against, and assign, convey, deliver, pledge and transfer to us, as security for repayment of any obligations due under these Payment Terms and any other agreement you have with us, all of your right, title, and interest in and to all of your accounts with us. You grant us Recovery Authorizations concerning funds you are obligated to repay us. You authorize us to administratively freeze or direct any third party bank holding the account to freeze all such accounts to allow us to protect our security interest, collection, charge and setoff rights as provided for in this section.
Your failure to fully pay amounts that you owe us on demand will be a breach of these terms. You are liable for any of our costs associated with collection in addition to any amounts owed, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, collection agency fees, and any applicable interest.
15. Dormant Jupi Co Accounts
If you do not process payments through your Jupi Co Account for an extended period of time or have not linked a valid bank account, you may have a Balance that is deemed “unclaimed” or “abandoned” under your state’s law. If this occurs, Jupi Co will provide you with notice as required by applicable law and instructions for how to deposit your Balance. If funds still remain in your Jupi Co Account, Jupi Co will escheat such funds as required by applicable law or, as permitted, to Jupi Co.
Chargebacks
16. Your Liability for Chargebacks
There may be times when your customer may not be the authorized user of the Card or your customer may otherwise contest the transaction. In these instances, the amount of a transaction may be reversed or charged back to your Jupi Co Accounts (a “Chargeback”) if the transaction (a) is disputed, (b) is reversed for any reason by the Network, our processor, or a customer or its financial institution, (c) was not authorized or we have any reason to believe that the transaction was not authorized, or (d) is allegedly unlawful, suspicious, or in violation of the General Terms or these Payment Terms. You agree to comply with the Chargeback process and to the liability associated with such Chargebacks.
17. Our Collection Rights for Chargebacks
For any transaction that results in a Chargeback, we may withhold the Chargeback amount in a Reserve. You grant us Recovery Authorizations concerning Chargebacks pursuant to which we may recover the amount of any Chargeback and any associated Fees, fines, or penalties listed in the Fee Schedule or assessed by a Network or our processor. If you have pending Chargebacks, we may delay payouts from your Jupi Co Account. Further, if we reasonably believe that a Chargeback is likely with respect to any transaction, we may withhold the amount of the potential Chargeback from payments otherwise due to you until such time that (a) a Chargeback is assessed due to a customer complaint, in which case we will retain the funds, (b) the period of time under applicable law or regulation by which your customer may dispute that the transaction has expired, or (c) we determine that a Chargeback on the transaction will not occur. If we are unable to recover funds related to a Chargeback for which you are liable, you agree to pay us the full amount of the Chargeback immediately upon demand. You agree to pay all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses, incurred by us for the collection of all amounts unpaid by you.
18. Excessive Chargebacks
If we believe you might incur, or you are incurring, an excessive amount of Chargebacks, we may establish additional conditions governing your Jupi Co Account, including (a) establishing new processing fees, (b) creating a Reserve in an amount reasonably determined by us to cover anticipated Chargebacks and related fees, (c) delaying payouts, or (d) terminating or suspending the Payment Processing Services.
19. Contesting Chargebacks
You will assist us when requested, at your expense, to investigate any of your transactions processed through the Payment Processing Services. To that end, you permit us to share information about a Chargeback with the customer, the customer’s financial institution, and your financial institution in order to investigate and/or mediate a Chargeback. We will request necessary information from you to contest the Chargeback. We may also use any Content you upload through the Services to respond to Chargebacks on your behalf. If the Chargeback is contested successfully, we will release corresponding reserved funds to your Jupi Co Account. If a Chargeback dispute is not resolved in your favor by the Network or issuing bank or you choose not to contest the Chargeback, we may recover the Chargeback amount and any associated fees as described in these terms. You acknowledge that your failure to assist us in a timely manner when investigating a transaction, including providing necessary documentation within fifteen (15) days of our request, may result in an irreversible Chargeback. We reserve the right, upon notice to you, to charge a fee for mediating and/or investigating Chargeback disputes.
Compliance with Network Rules and Laws

21. Unauthorized or Illegal Use
You will only accept Cards for transactions that are allowed by applicable law. We may decide not to authorize or settle any transaction that you submit to us if we believe that the transaction is in violation of these terms or any other agreement with Jupi Co, or that it exposes you, your customers, other Jupi Co Sellers, our processors or Jupi Co to harm. Harm includes fraud and other criminal acts. If we suspect that your Jupi Co Account has been used for an unauthorized, illegal, or criminal purpose, you give us express authorization to share information about you, your Jupi Co Account, and any of your transactions with law enforcement and, as deemed necessary by Jupi Co, our payment processing and financial institution partners.

With the exception of your participation in a merchant cash advance or other similar merchant financing programs, or as otherwise required by applicable law, you will not assign Card receivables or proceeds due to you under these terms to any third party.
23. Applicable Network Rules
By using the Payment Processing Services, you agree to comply with all applicable bylaws, rules, and regulations set forth by the Networks (“Network Rules”).

We are not obligated to, nor will we determine whether Taxes apply, or calculate, collect, report, or remit any Taxes to any tax authority arising from any transaction. Jupi Co specifically disclaims any liability for Taxes. If in a given calendar year you process (i) more than the applicable reporting threshold according to the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and/or state and local governments in gross amount of payments and/or (ii) more than the applicable number of payments threshold according to the IRS and/or state and local governments, Jupi Co will be required by law to report information about you and your use of the Payment Processing Services to the IRS. For purposes of determining whether you have met the IRS and/or state and local government reporting threshold, the gross amount does not include any adjustments for credits, cash equivalents, discount amounts, fees, refunded amounts or any other amounts. Whether you reach the applicable gross amount in payments or more than the applicable number of payments, this will be determined by looking at the taxpayer identification number (“TIN”) associated with your Jupi Co Account.
25. Network Logos and Marks
Your use of Network logos and marks (“Network Marks”) is governed by the Network Rules; you must familiarize yourself with and comply with these requirements. The Networks are the sole and exclusive owners of their respective Network Marks. You will not contest the ownership of the Network Marks, and any Network may prohibit you from using its Network Marks for any reason and at any time. Jupi Co may require you to make modifications to your Website or other advertising and signage in order to comply with Network Rules related to the Network Marks.
26. PCI Compliance
If you store, process or transmit cardholder data, you will comply with the applicable Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI-DSS), as well as any requirements under the Network Rules. We may request your most recent PCI compliance certificate or report of compliance at any time. You will cooperate in forensic investigations as required by Jupi Co or its partners.

Your Additional Obligations

If you operate a 501(c)(3) organization, you may offer Jupi Co electronic receipts to your donors as a convenience, by completing the required fields in the “Account” section of our website. You acknowledge that not all payments made to your organization may be eligible for classification as “tax deductible to the extent allowed by law,” and you assume full responsibility for the classification of your transactions. Jupi Co specifically disclaims any liability in this regard.
30. Customer Service
You are solely responsible for all customer service policies and issues relating to your goods or services, including pricing, order fulfillment, cancellations or no shows by you or a customer, returns, refunds and adjustments, rebates, functionality and warranty, technical support, and feedback concerning experiences with your personnel, policies or processes. In performing customer service, you will always present yourself as a separate entity from us. As between you and us, we are solely responsible for customer service issues relating to any Jupi Co Account, payment, Card processing, debiting or crediting.
31. Refunds and Returns
By accepting Card transactions through the Payment Processing Services, you agree to process returns of, and provide refunds and adjustments for, your goods or services through your Jupi Co Account in accordance with these Payment Processing Terms and Network Rules. Network Rules require that you disclose your return or cancellation policy to customers at the time of purchase. The amount of the refund/adjustment must include any associated taxes required to be refunded and cannot exceed the amount shown as the total on the original sales data except by the exact amount required to reimburse the customer for postage that the customer paid to return merchandise. If your refund policy prohibits returns or is unsatisfactory to the customer, you may still receive a Chargeback relating to such sales. You can process a refund through your Jupi Co Account up to one hundred and twenty (120) days from the day you accepted the payment. If you use Jupi Co Backoffice, you may not be able to process a partial refund. If your available Jupi Co Balance is insufficient to cover the refund, we may exercise any of our rights set forth in Section 2, including withdrawing up to the requested refund amount (the sale amount minus the initial transaction fee) from a payment instrument registered with your Jupi Co Account or any connected Jupi Co Account, including any Reserve, and crediting it back into your customer’s Card. The Fees are also refunded by Jupi Co, so the full purchase amount is always returned to your customer. Jupi Co has no obligation to accept any returns of any of your goods or services on your behalf.
32. Additional Indemnity
In addition to Section 15 of the General Terms, you will indemnify, defend, and hold us and our processors (and our respective employees, directors, agents, affiliates and representatives) harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, losses, damages, judgments, Tax assessments, penalties, interest, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of any claim, action, audit, investigation, inquiry, or other proceeding instituted by a person or entity that arises out of or relates to any transaction submitted by you through the Payment Processing Services (including the accuracy of any content or product, service, or transaction information that you provide or any claim or dispute arising out of products or services offered or sold by you).

Termination of Payment Processing Services
34. Termination of Payment Processing Services
Jupi Co may Terminate your use of the Payment Processing Services at any time for any reason.

However, Acquirer understands that Sub-merchant may have contracted with Provider to obtain certain processing services and that Provider may have agreed to be responsible to Sub-merchant for all or part of Sub-merchant’s obligations contained herein.
1. Certain Sub-merchant Responsibilities

Acquirer has no obligation other than those expressly provided under the Operating Regulations and applicable law as they may relate to limited acceptance. Sub-merchant, and not Acquirer, will be solely responsible for the implementation of its decision for limited acceptance, including but not limited to policing the card type(s) accepted at the point of sale.
Sub-merchant shall only complete sales transactions produced as the direct result of bona fide sales made by Sub-merchant to cardholders, and is expressly prohibited from presenting sales transactions which are produced as a result of sales made by any person or entity other than Sub-merchant, or for any purposes related to any illegal or prohibited activity, including but not limited to money-laundering or financing of terrorist activities.

Sub-merchant agrees that the deposit of funds to the Provider Designated Account shall discharge Acquirer of its settlement obligation to Sub-merchant, and that any dispute regarding the receipt or amount of settlement shall be between Provider and Sub-merchant. Acquirer will debit the Provider Designated Account for funds owed to Acquirer as a result of the Services provided hereunder, provided that Acquirer may also debit Sub-merchant’s designated demand deposit account (“Sub-merchant-Owned Designated Account”) upon receipt of such account information from Sub-merchant or Provider, or if Acquirer deposits settlement funds into the Sub-merchant-Owned Designated Account. Further, if a cardholder disputes a transaction, if a transaction is charged back for any reason, or if Acquirer reasonably believes a transaction is unauthorized or otherwise unacceptable, the amount of such transaction may be charged back and debited from Sub-merchant or Provider.
4. Term and Termination
This Merchant Services Agreement shall be binding upon Sub-merchant’s execution. The term of this Merchant Services Agreement shall begin, and the terms of the Merchant Services Agreement shall be deemed accepted and binding upon Acquirer, on the date Acquirer accepts this Merchant Services Agreement by issuing a merchant identification number, and shall be coterminous with Provider’s agreement with Sub-merchant.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Acquirer may immediately cease providing Services and/or terminate this Merchant Services Agreement without notice if (i) Sub-merchant or Provider fails to pay any amount to Acquirer when due, (ii) in Acquirer's opinion, provision of a service to Sub-merchant or Provider may be a violation of the Operating Regulations or any Laws, (iii) Acquirer believes that Sub-merchant has violated or is likely to violate the Operating Regulations or the Laws, (iv) Acquire determines Sub-merchant poses a financial or regulatory risk to Acquirer or an Association, (v) Acquirer’s agreement with Provider terminates, (vi) any Association deregisters Provider, (vii) Acquirer ceases to be a member of the Associations or fails to have the required licenses, or (viii) Acquirer is required to do so by any of the Associations.

EXCEPT FOR THOSE EXPRESS WARRANTIES MADE IN THIS MERCHANT SERVICES AGREEMENT, ACQUIRER DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Sub-merchant’s sole and exclusive remedy for any and all claims against Acquirer arising out of or in any way related to the transactions contemplated herein shall be termination of this Merchant Services Agreement. In the event that Sub-merchant has any claim arising in connection with the Services, rights, and/or obligations defined in this Merchant Services Agreement, Sub-merchant shall proceed against Provider and not against Acquirer, unless otherwise specifically set forth in the Operating Regulations. In no event shall Acquirer have any liability to Sub-merchant with respect to this Merchant Services Agreement or the Services. Sub-merchant acknowledges Acquirer is only providing this Merchant Services Agreement to assist in Provider’s processing relationship with Sub-merchant, that Acquirer is not liable for any action or failure to act by Provider, and that Acquirer shall have no liability whatsoever in connection with any products or services provided to Sub-merchant by Provider. If Provider is unable to provide its services to Sub-merchant in connection with this Merchant Services Agreement and Acquirer elects to provide those services directly, Sub-merchant acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of this Merchant Services Agreement will no longer apply and the terms of Acquirer’s then current Bank Card Merchant Agreement, which would be provided to Sub-merchant, will govern Acquirer’s relationship with Sub-merchant. If Provider subsequently provides its services to Sub-merchant in connection with this Merchant Services Agreement, Acquirer will cease to provide such services after receipt of notice from Provider and this Merchant Services Agreement will govern Acquirer’s relationship with Sub-merchant.
