18.2. Billing authorization. Client authorizes WagePress and its payment processors, including Moov where applicable, to charge or debit Client's payment methods for all fees, taxes, reimbursements, returned items, negative balances, adjustments, and amounts due. Client shall keep billing information current and maintain sufficient funds.

18.4. Subscription terms. Subscriptions renew automatically for the applicable billing period unless cancelled as permitted in the platform or order form. Cancellation stops future renewals but does not relieve Client from fees already incurred, payroll liabilities, tax liabilities, filing fees, payment obligations, or amounts owed.

18.5. Refunds. Except as required by law or expressly stated in a signed order form, fees are non-refundable once incurred. Filing, transmission, mailing, correction, onboarding, implementation, and transaction fees are earned when the applicable process is initiated, even if a Tax Agency, bank, Moov, FI Partner, payment network, employee, contractor, recipient, or Client later rejects, returns, reverses, amends, or cancels the item. WagePress may issue credits or refunds in its discretion for billing errors or service failures attributable to WagePress.

18.6. Collections. Past-due amounts may result in suspension, termination, late fees, recovery of collection costs, chargeback fees, and attorney fees. WagePress may offset amounts owed against refunds, credits, or amounts otherwise payable to Client to the extent permitted by law.

effect 19. Compliance, Restrictions, and Prohibited Use

19.1. Legal compliance. Client shall comply with all applicable federal, state, local, territorial, employment, payroll, wage and hour, tax, privacy, data protection, money movement, sanctions, anti-money laundering, anti-bribery, recordkeeping, and electronic communications laws.

Client shall not use the Services for unlawful, fraudulent, deceptive, abusive, high-risk, restricted, or prohibited activity; to transmit malware; to scrape or overload systems; to circumvent limits; to misrepresent identity; to submit false tax or banking information; to process payments for third parties without authorization; or to violate Moov, FI Partner, ACH, card network, or Tax Agency rules.

19.3. Worker classification. Client is solely responsible for worker classification, including employee versus independent contractor, exempt versus non-exempt, statutory employee, household employee, officer compensation, owner compensation, partner payments, contractor payments, and multi-state allocation. WagePress does not make classification decisions.

19.4. High-risk businesses. WagePress, Moov, or FI Partners may restrict or prohibit certain business types, transaction types, industries, jurisdictions, or payment patterns. Client shall not use the Services if its business or Transactions are prohibited by WagePress, Moov, FI Partners, payment network rules, or law.

19.5. Audit cooperation. Client shall cooperate with WagePress, Moov, FI Partners, Tax Agencies, and regulators in reviewing Transactions, investigating errors or fraud, responding to agency notices, conducting risk reviews, verifying information, and resolving disputes.

effect 20. Service Availability, Support, Maintenance, and Changes

20.1. Availability. WagePress will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Services available, but does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free service.

20.2. Support. Support is provided through the channels and hours made available by WagePress. Support communications are operational assistance and do not constitute legal, tax, accounting, financial, payroll compliance, HR, or employment law advice.

20.3. Changes to Services. WagePress may add, modify, suspend, discontinue, or limit features, forms, jurisdictions, integrations, plans, pricing, APIs, reports, workflows, and support channels. WagePress may make changes immediately when required for security, compliance, Tax Agency rules, Moov or FI Partner requirements, legal changes, or operational integrity.

20.4. Beta features. Beta, pilot, early access, test, sandbox, or experimental features are provided as-is, may change without notice, and should not be used for mission-critical payroll, payment, or tax compliance decisions unless expressly approved by WagePress.

20.5. Force majeure. WagePress is not liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor disputes, power failures, internet failures, cyberattacks, supply chain failures, governmental actions, Tax Agency outages, bank outages, Moov or FI Partner outages, payment network failures, or changes in law.

effect 21. Intellectual Property, Feedback, and Client Data Rights

21.1. WagePress property. MMALI Financial Services LLC d/b/a WagePress and its licensors own all rights in the Services, software, code, APIs, workflows, designs, dashboards, reports, documentation, templates, AI models, algorithms, trademarks, service marks, logos, and platform technology.

Client may not copy, imitate, alter, register, use, or display any WagePress mark, logo, domain name, trade name, or confusingly similar mark without prior written authorization. Use of the TM designation identifies an unregistered trademark or service mark claim and does not mean that the mark is federally registered. The registered trademark symbol may be used only after registration where permitted by law.

effect 22. Disclaimers of Warranties and Professional Advice

22.1. As-is services. Except as expressly stated in this Agreement, the Services are provided "as is" and "as available." WagePress disclaims all warranties, express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, availability, uninterrupted operation, error-free operation, and results.

22.2. No professional advice. WagePress does not provide legal, tax, accounting, investment, financial, insurance, benefits, HR, employment law, or regulatory advice. Client should consult qualified professionals regarding payroll, tax, employment, HR, accounting, legal, and financial obligations.

22.3. No guarantee of compliance results. WagePress does not guarantee that Client will avoid penalties, interest, audits, agency inquiries, litigation, employee claims, tax assessments, rejections, returns, reversals, missed deadlines, or compliance issues. Compliance depends on Client Data, Client review, Client approvals, law, agency systems, bank systems, third-party systems, and circumstances outside WagePress control.

22.4. Third-party services. WagePress disclaims responsibility for Moov, FI Partners, Tax Agencies, banks, ACH operators, card networks, cloud providers, mailing vendors, QuickBooks, accounting platforms, app stores, API partners, and other third parties, except to the extent expressly required by applicable law or caused by WagePress gross negligence or willful misconduct.

23.3. Payment and tax exclusions. WagePress is not liable for employee wages, contractor payments, taxes, penalties, interest, agency assessments, chargebacks, bank fees, returned items, overdrafts, duplicate payments, insufficient funds, unauthorized account activity, or third-party fees arising from Client Data, Client instructions, Client approvals, Client funding failure, Client bank account issues, or third-party systems.

23.4. Basis of bargain. Client acknowledges that fees are based on this allocation of risk and that WagePress would not provide the Services without these limitations. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, in which case the limitations apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.

effect 24. Indemnification

24.1. Client indemnity. Client shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless WagePress and its affiliates, owners, directors, officers, employees, contractors, licensors, processors, providers, and agents from and against all claims, demands, investigations, penalties, interest, taxes, assessments, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, arising out of or relating to Client Data, Client instructions, Client business, Client employees, contractors, recipients, owners, banks, Transactions, payroll, taxes, filings, worker classification, wage and hour compliance, employment law compliance, privacy notices, consents, integrations, agency notices, insufficient funds, chargebacks, prohibited use, breach of this Agreement, or violation of law.

WagePress will provide reasonably prompt notice of an indemnified claim, allow Client to control the defense if legally appropriate and if Client acknowledges its indemnity obligation, and provide reasonable cooperation at Client expense. WagePress may participate with its own counsel. Client may not settle any claim in a manner that admits fault by WagePress, imposes obligations on WagePress, or affects WagePress rights without WagePress's written consent.

24.3. Payment processor and agency claims. Client indemnity includes claims and losses asserted by Moov, FI Partners, banks, ACH operators, card networks, payment networks, Tax Agencies, employees, contractors, recipients, accountants, administrators, or other third parties arising from Client's use of the Services or Client-approved Transactions.

effect 25. Suspension, Termination, Data Export, and Survival

25.1. Suspension. WagePress may suspend, restrict, delay, or terminate access, features, filings, Transactions, payroll, direct deposit, integrations, or API access if Client breaches this Agreement, fails verification, fails to pay, has insufficient funds, triggers risk alerts, submits suspicious data, violates law, creates security risk, receives agency or bank restrictions, or if required by Moov, FI Partners, Tax Agencies, payment networks, law, or regulators.

25.2. Termination by Client. Client may terminate its subscription or close its account as permitted in the platform or order form. Termination does not cancel payroll, tax, payment, filing, fee, collection, recordkeeping, indemnity, or legal obligations already incurred.

25.3. Effect of termination. Upon termination, WagePress may stop providing Services, revoke access, cancel pending unsupported items, disable integrations, and retain or delete data subject to legal, tax, audit, backup, security, and payment obligations. Client is responsible for exporting records before access ends and for transitioning payroll, tax, and payment obligations to another provider.

25.4. Survival. Sections concerning fees, payment obligations, taxes, Client responsibility, data accuracy, confidentiality, privacy, intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, dispute resolution, governing law, data retention, and any provision that by its nature should survive shall survive termination.

effect 26. Notices, Amendments, and Communications

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Services, payroll, filings, data, Transactions, payments, Moov-related functions, or Client's relationship with WagePress shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration administered by a reputable arbitration provider selected by WagePress, unless the parties agree otherwise. The seat of arbitration shall be Harris County, Texas, unless WagePress elects remote arbitration or another venue permitted by applicable rules.

27.4. Class action waiver.
