Client continues to meet the terms and conditions related to the Services. Alacriti reserves the right
to terminate, suspend, or limit access to the Services based upon Alacriti's review of such consumer
report(s), and/or in the event Alacriti is unable to obtain or verify any of Client's information. In the

Records, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain for Alacriti the right of access for
such Records which are not in Client's possession, as the case may be, as is reasonably necessary
for Alacriti to audit Client's compliance with Applicable Law and this Agreement. Except where
Alacriti or its designee discovered a deficiency or violation during an immediately preceding audit or
have a reasonable and good faith belief of a material change to Client's business or operations,

in a conclusion that Client is not in compliance with Applicable Law or this Agreement, or results in
the identification of any control deficiency or other error or deficiency that could reasonably be
expected to have an adverse impact on the Services then Client shall take immediate steps
consistent with reasonable commercial practices to correct the noncompliance, error or deficiency.

its operations, to avoid harm to others, or for any other bona-fide reason, Alacriti may, without notice
or liability: (i) change, suspend or discontinue the Services, and/or(ii)to impose limits on features or
restrict access to any of the Services. In addition, Alacriti may from time to time without prior notice

any such modification that would significantly adversely affect Client's use of the Services. (e) On
termination or expiration of this Agreement, all licenses granted under it end and each party shall
promptly return or destroy all of the other party's Confidential Information in its possession or control.
Termination does not affect either party's respective rights and obligations under this Agreement as
to Transaction Data submitted before termination or expiration. If Client submits Transaction Data to
Alacriti after the date of termination or expiration, Alacriti may, at its sole discretion and without
waiving any of its rights or remedies under this Agreement, process such Transaction Data in
accordance with and subject to all of the terms of this Agreement. Upon notice of termination of this
Agreement, Alacriti may estimate the aggregate dollar amount of Chargebacks and other
obligations, liabilities and expenses that Alacriti reasonably anticipates subsequent to termination,
and Client agrees to immediately deposit such amount in Client's Settlement Account or as
otherwise directed by Alacriti, or Alacriti may withhold such amount from Client's settlement funds in
order to establish a Reserve Account pursuant to and governed by the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. Sections 2(b), 2(c), 2(f), 2(g), 3, 6, 8(e), 10, 11, 12, 13 (for a period of three (3)years),

Last updated: March 11, 2021
The Alacriti Master Services Agreement is now the Orbipay Subscription Agreement.Alacriti expanded the suite
of subscription-based products and services that it offers under the Orbipay brand.To streamline the process via
which Alacriti licenses such products and services,Alacriti has replaced the Alacriti Master Services Agreement
with the Orbipay Subscription Agreement. Orders that were previously subject to the Alacriti Master Services
Agreement are now subject to the Orbipay Subscription Agreement.
This Orbipay Subscription Agreement (together with any Orders,the "Agreement"), is by and between Alacriti
Payments LLC ("Alacriti," "we," or"us") and the legal entity identified in the signature block of an Order or that
otherwise accepts an Order ("Client," or"you"), and is effective as of the date of acceptance of that Order(the
"Effective Date"). Alacriti and Client are each referred to individually as a "party" and collectively as the
"parties."
Alacriti provides certain subscription-based digital payment and money movement services, related data,
technology and analytics services, configuration and implementation services, and other business services,

other creditors to seize or withhold funds owed for Transactions processed through the Subscription Services,
and to debit or withdraw funds from any bank account associated with Client's Subscription Services account
(including the Settlement Account and Client-Funding Account). Upon Alacriti's request, Client will execute and

designee) reasonable access to Client's facilities and Records, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to
obtain for Alacriti the right of access for such Records which are not in Client's possession, as the case may be,
13
as is reasonably necessary for Alacriti to audit Client's compliance with Applicable Law and the Agreement.

or have a reasonable and good faith belief of a material change to Client's business or operations, Alacriti may
not perform an audit of Client more than once in any calendar year. If any audit results in a conclusion that
Client is not in compliance with Applicable Law or the Agreement, or results in the identification of any control
deficiency or other error or deficiency that could reasonably be expected to have an adverse impact on the
Subscription Services then Client shall take immediate steps consistent with reasonable commercial practices to
correct the noncompliance, error or deficiency.

11. California Residents
a. General.You have the right to request that Alacriti disclose the Personal Information that it collects, uses,
discloses, and "sells" (as explained further, below), about you.
b.The Right to Opt-out of the Sale of Your Personal Information.The California Consumer Privacy Act("CCPA")
aims to provide California residents with a variety of new rights, among them the ability to prevent companies
from "selling"their Personal Information.A common understanding of"selling" information is that it involves a
company taking information it has learned about you and exchanging that information with an unrelated third
party for money,who will then use that data for a new purpose that you did not intend. However,the CCPA has
a much broader definition of"sell" than this. For example,Alacriti providing your Personal Information to a
Clients as part of you sending or receiving payments from that Clients "may"fall under the definition of"selling"
data because the CCPA is new and these issues are not yet resolved.
23
Until additional clarification regarding the CCPA has been provided by the State of California, if you make a
request for Alacriti not to "sell" or"transfer"your Personal Information,then Alacriti would be prohibited from
providing the Platform to you because the purpose of the Platform is to facilitate you sending or receiving
payments from Clients (which necessarily involves your Personal Information).
To request that Alacriti not"sell" or"transfer"your Personal Information, please email Alacriti
at privacy@alacriti.com or Alacriti,Attention: Privacy Compliance, 1551 South Washington Avenue, Suite 130
Piscataway, NJ 08854. In response to such a request,Alacriti will delete your Platform account.
By submitting such a request,you are declaring that you are a California resident taking advantage of your rights
under CCPA. Once your data is deleted,Alacriti will be unable to transfer it.
c. Shine The Light Requests. California's "Shine the Light" law(Civil Code section 1798.83) permits California
residents once per calendar year to request and receive information about a business's disclosure of certain
categories of Personal Information to other companies for direct marketing purposes. If you are a California
resident and a Platform user, then you can request a copy of this information from Alacriti by sending an email
to privacy@alacriti.com. Please include your name and email address with your request.
d. Non-Discrimination. Alacriti will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights under the CCPA.
12. Changes
Alacriti may change this Policy over time as regulations, its business needs and the needs of its users change. If
Alacriti makes material changes to this Policy that increase its rights to use or share Personal Information that it
