(“SumUp”, “we”, “our” or “us”) which governs your use of our payment processing and other services, our mobile application (“App” or “Software”) and any version of our card acceptance devices (“Terminal”) (together, the “Services”).

SumUp Inc. is a corporation with limited liability incorporated in Delaware, with its registered office at 1209 Orange Street, Wilmington, Newcastle 19801, USA.

This agreement is separated into three parts: Part one describes all of the terms governing your use of the Services. Part two describes all of the terms particularly governing payment processing as part of the Services. Part three contains additional legal terms determining the legal relationship between you and SumUp.

In order to use our Services you must fully accept these Terms together with our privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) and upon acceptance of these Terms, you confirm that you have read, understood and accepted our Privacy Policy.

PART ONE - The Services

1. General

1.1. Our Services enable you to accept payment card transactions (“Transaction”) for your customers (“Cardholder”) with the use of your compatible mobile device, our App and a Terminal. We provide an updated list of all compatible mobile devices and the accepted payment cards on our website.

1.2. You can use the Services through a Terminal provided by us. When you accept Transactions using one of our Terminals, the Terminal will be used to process and authorize Transactions between the payment card and our servers. The services only allow for card present processing.

1.3 We may provide you with card-not-present payment services that enable you to accept e-commerce payments through a third party application (a “Partner Application”) i.e. through a mobile Application or a website, provided to you by a partner (the “Partner”) under a separate commercial relationship between you and the Partner. In case you only accept e-commerce Payments, the provisions of this Agreement relating to Card Readers and procedures relating to a card being presented by the payer do not apply to you.

We are only responsible for the payment services provided as part of the partner application. We are not responsible for the functionality of the Partner Application or any service provided to you or card holders by the Partner.

If agreed between you and the Partner, we may charge fees that not only cover our transaction fees but also include a charge on behalf of the Partner to collect funds that you owe to a Partner under the separate commercial agreement you have with the Partner (the “Partner Charge”).

1.4. We will cause any funds resulting from your Transactions to be credited to us and will pay out any amounts owed to you under these Terms to your bank account after we have received them ("Payout"). Before each Payout we will deduct the applicable fees (“Fees”). In case you select a pricing plan (“Plan”) you shall pay any applicable recurring fees based on the Plan you select. Our current Fees and Plans are listed on our website.

1.5. Our obligations under these Terms are limited to providing you with an Account and the Services. We will use all reasonable means to provide the Services to you twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week, all year. We may, however, suspend at our reasonable discretion the Services to be provided to you or limit the duration of the Services in order to perform maintenance services or if required by law or if you have failed to comply with material obligations under these Terms or if there is reasonable suspicion of money laundering or terrorist financing.

1.6. We provide you with a Transaction history and further analysis systems, if applicable.

1.7. We may at any time update or modify the Services with immediate effect without prior notification.

1.8. We reserve the right to appoint a third party in order to fulfill some or all of our obligations under these Terms.

We shall obtain such credit information and make such additional checks and you shall assist us in that regard to the extent necessary.

2.4. The decision whether your identity has been properly verified according to section 2.3 will be entirely at our discretion. Until you have been successfully identified and verified by us, these Terms constitute a preliminary agreement that binds you fully and we reserve the right to terminate or not to start to provide any Services under these Terms at any time during this period.

2.5. Your Account will be registered on one of our servers. We will hold an amount equal to any amounts owed to you by us separated from our own funds, but together with the amounts held on behalf of other Accounts, in a segregated bank.

2.6. Funds owed to you by us will be paid out to a valid bank account designated by you in your Account.
