When you enroll to use our Services, you must create an account and provide an Account Profile. You agree to keep the information in your profile current. If we become aware of any changes to your personal information, we may update your profile.

This Agreement is in addition to and supplements any master services agreement or other agreement you have entered into, or may in the future enter into, with Letus.

You hereby authorize us, directly or through third parties, to make any inquiries we consider necessary to validate your identity, banking information and business entity information (if applicable).

If you are a Tenant who opts into the Credit Reporting services, you will be automatically deemed to:
If you are a Landlord whose Tenants use the Credit Reporting services, you will be automatically deemed to:
You acknowledge that Letus is solely an intermediary between you and the credit reporting agencies actually furnishing the credit profiles and scores at issue. Letus expressly disclaims any liability for the inaccuracy or incompleteness of any such credit profiles, credit scores, offers or other information, tools or analyses available through our Credit Reporting services, or any inaccuracies in data reporting or processing by any third parties. Letus retains the right to cancel the Credit Reporting services provided to you at any time in its sole discretion and without notice, whereupon Letus will not charge you further fees in respect of Credit Reporting services.
3.1 Letus's Role and Your Responsibilities
Letus provides hosting and data processing services for building owners, Landlords, property managers and certain other third parties. Letus is a Payment Service Provider ("PSP"), not a bank, money transmitter or money services business ("MSB"), and we do not offer banking or MSB services as defined by the United States Department of Treasury. As a PSP, Letus collects, analyzes and relays information generated in connection with payments between the Tenant and the Landlord. You authorize Letus to provide this information to the Underwriting Bank in order for the Underwriting Bank to facilitate payments.
As a result, the Underwriting Bank – and not Letus – actually conducts the settlement of card transactions. The Underwriting Bank is the party with sole responsibility for conducting the settlement of funds between the Tenant and the Landlord. In order to act as a PSP, Letus must enter into agreements with third parties. You are not a third party beneficiary of these agreements. Some of these third parties may require a direct agreement with you. If you are required to enter into such an agreement and decline to do so, we may suspend or terminate your Account Profile or use of the Services.
You agree to be bound by the Merchant Services Agreement. For further clarity, the Merchant Services Agreement is an agreement for Third Party Services. This Agreement expressly incorporates the terms and conditions of the Merchant Services Agreement, which constitutes a legal binding contract between you, on the one hand, and BLUESNAP ENTERPRISE CANADA, ULC and its designated Member Bank, or PAYSAFE GROUP, LTD., and its designated Member Bank, on the other hand. Furthermore, you must abide by the applicable Operating Regulations, the rules of the Associations and Laws as defined in the Merchant Services Agreement and are assuming the risk of compliance with all of those provisions.

5.1 Payment Processor
When you make a Payment using our Services, our Payment Processor relays the payment information and transaction details and responses between you, your credit card issuing bank (or one or more credit card agencies), the Underwriting Bank and any other third parties required to process the transaction. The transfer of the Payment Amount is effected between your credit card issuing bank and the Underwriting Bank (and not Letus). You accept and agree that Letus or any Third Party Services does not at any time receive, collect or hold any Payment.
5.2 Service Fee
Immediately after you make a Payment using the Services, Letus will charge you a non-refundable Service Fee. This Service Fee is payable in addition to (and in advance of) the Payment. Service Fees are never deducted from or adjusted against Payment Amounts. Service Fees are paid into a separate Merchant Account established by Letus and are subject to change at any time.
5.3 Taxes
It is your responsibility to determine what, if any, taxes apply to the Payments you make or receive, and it is your responsibility to collect, report and remit the correct tax to the appropriate tax authority. Letus is not responsible for determining whether taxes apply to your Payment transaction, or for collecting, reporting or remitting any taxes arising from any Payment transaction.
5.4 Credit Card, Debit Card, Bank Account, Pre-Authorized Debit or Cash Delays and Non-Completion
Since Credit Card Payment, Debit Card Payment, Bank Account Payment, Pre-Authorized Debit or Cash Payment processing times depend on administrative factors and institutional backlogs beyond our control, Credit Card Payments, Debit Card Payments, Bank Account Payments, Pre-Authorized Debit or Cash Payments may take up to five Business Days (and in rare cases, even longer) to complete. Furthermore, completion of a Credit Card Payment, Debit Card Payment, Bank Account Payment, Pre-Authorized Debit or a Cash Payment is contingent on both the authorization of the Credit Card Payment, Debit Card Payment, Bank Account Payment, Pre-Authorized Debit or a Cash Payment by the applicable credit card issuing bank and acceptance of the Credit Card Payment or Debit Card Payment by the Underwriting Bank. In the event that a Credit Card Payment, Debit Card Payment, Bank Account Payment, Pre-Authorized Debit or a Cash Payment initiated by you is unable to be completed, we will attempt to notify you at least once through our Website or using the contact information in your Account Profile. In the case of such delay or non-completion, your liability to the intended recipient of the Credit Card Payment, Debit Card Payment, Bank Account Payment, Pre-Authorized Debit or a Cash Payment may be subject to penalties, late fees and interest charges assessed by such recipient, all of which remain your responsibility (and not Letus's). If a Credit Card Payment, Debit Card Payment, Bank Account Payment, Pre-Authorized Debit or a Cash Payment is not completed, you are not entitled to a return of any Service Fees charged by us, irrespective of the reason for non-completion.
5.5 No Reversals and No Refunds
A chargeback is typically caused when a Tenant or cardholder disputes a charge that appears on their bill. A chargeback may result in the reversal of a transaction, with the amount charged back to the Tenant. Tenants may be assessed chargebacks for disputes, unauthorized or improperly authorized transactions, transactions that do not comply with the payment network rules or terms of this Agreement, transactions that are allegedly unlawful or suspicious, or any reversals by the payment network, our Payment Processor or acquiring bank, or the cardholder's card issuing financial institution.
Tenants
If your Payment is completed, you accept and agree that no refunds, cancellations or charge backs are permitted through the Website. If a Payment is refunded, cancelled or charged back by your credit card issuing bank, bank, financial institution, or another person, you are not entitled to the return of any associated Service Fees, irrespective of the reason for such refund, cancellation or charge back. You accept and agree not to request a refund, cancellation or chargeback of Service Fees from your credit card issuing bank, bank, financial institution or any other person. Your Landlord may authorize a refund for a Payment by submitting a written request to us. The refund is subject to the funds being made available by your landlord and the amount will only be refunded to the original payment method used for the payment. There are no refunds whatsoever twelve (12) months after the original payment transaction date. We reserve the right to recoup any costs associated with processing a refund, cancellation or chargeback from you. All chargebacks are subject to an additional non-refundable chargeback support fee of $25.00 (the "Chargeback Support Fee") charged by us to the Landlord.
At any point if it is determined that you are incurring excessive chargebacks, we may impose additional fees, penalties or fines. Excessive chargebacks may also result in additional controls and restrictions to your use of the Service, including without limitation, delays in your Payments, or suspension or termination of your account(s) and the Services.
Landlords
Once you receive a Payment, you accept and agree that there are no refunds, cancellations or chargebacks of Service Fees. Refunds for Payments to Tenants are permitted when the request is made in writing by you and the funds are available. The refund transaction will only be applied to the same payment method used for the payment. There are no refunds whatsoever twelve (12) months after the original transaction date. If a chargeback is initiated by a Tenant, you will be responsible for any associated fees.
When a chargeback is issued, you are immediately liable for the full amount of the chargeback plus any associated fees, Chargeback Support Fees, fines, expenses or penalties (including those assessed by the payment network or our Payment Processors). You agree that we may recover these amounts by means of EFT/ACH debit of your Merchant Account, bank account or setting off any amounts owed to you by us. If we are unable to recover funds related to a chargeback for which you are liable, you will pay us the full amount of the chargeback immediately upon demand.
You or Letus may elect to contest chargebacks assessed to your account(s). We will provide you with assistance including notification to help contest your chargebacks. We do not assume any responsibility for our role or assistance in contesting chargebacks. You agree to provide us with the necessary information, within two (2) business days of our request, but in any event no later than five (5) business days of our request, and at your expense, to investigate or help resolve any chargeback. If you fail to provide us with the necessary information within five (5) business days, you will forfeit the right of dispute. You also grant us permission to share records or other information required with the Tenant or cardholder, the cardholder's financial institution, and your financial institution to help resolve any disputes. You acknowledge that your failure to provide us with complete and accurate information in a timely manner may result in an irreversible chargeback being assessed. If the cardholder's issuing bank of the payment network does not resolve a dispute in your favour, we may recover the chargeback amount and any associated fees, including the Chargeback Support Fee, from you as described in this Agreement and all applicable agreements.
At any point if it is determined that you are incurring excessive chargebacks, we may impose additional fees, penalties or fines. Excessive chargebacks may also result in additional controls and restrictions to your use of the Service, including without limitation, delays in your Payments, or suspension or termination of your account(s) and the Services.
5.6 Pre-Authorized Debits and Recurring Payments
Tenants
If you use pre-authorized debit, you authorize Letus and/or the Landlord to debit the bank account you have identified as per your instructions on the regular recurring payments for payments arising under your account. You acknowledge that the amount you are debited, the date on which you are debited and the frequency by which you are debited will be based on the terms of your agreement and may vary from one billing period to the next, and you will be advised of it prior to the debit occurring. You may revoke this authority at any time upon 30 days’ written notice. To obtain a sample cancellation form, or for more information on your right to cancel a pre-authorized debit agreement, you may contact your financial institution or visit www.payments.ca. You waive your right to receive pre-notification of the amount of the pre-authorized debit and agree that you do not require advance notice of the amount of pre-authorized debits before the debit is processed. You have certain recourse rights if any debit does not comply with this agreement. For example, you have the right to receive reimbursement for any debit that is not consistent with your pre-authorized debit agreement. To obtain more information on your recourse rights, you may contact your financial institution or visit www.payments.ca. You authorize BlueSnap, Inc to process payments on behalf of Letus and/or the Landlord.
Subject to your right to terminate your pre-authorization, this authorization will remain in effect after termination of this Agreement and until all of your obligations to us have been paid in full. If you change your bank account, this authorization will apply to the new account and you shall provide us, in writing, such information regarding the new account as we deem necessary. Such new account shall thereafter be and become the new bank account for the purpose of this Agreement. It may take us up to ten (10) business days after receipt of a written notice from you to reflect in our system any change to your bank account. If you change your bank account, you agree that you are responsible for all costs incurred by us in connection with your decision to change the account. You may revoke any pre-authorization upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice to us. You will receive an email notification seven days before your scheduled recurring payment is processed. It is your responsibility to disable your pre-authorized debit or recurring payment a minimum of 2 full business days before the scheduled recurring payment date. If you are set up with pre-authorized recurring credit card payments and we cannot complete the transaction with your primary credit card account on file, we will attempt to complete the transaction with the secondary credit card account on file.
