Provider Agreement

The company that completed the above Flexxbuy application (“Company”) desires to use the consumer lending program (“Program”) created and powered by SweetPay LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (“Provider”) in accordance with these terms and conditions (this “Agreement”).  By presenting this Agreement to the Company, Provider agrees to the terms and conditions in this Agreement.  This Agreement shall be dated as of the date in the application form above.

The Program allows merchants, practices, or contractors (like the Company) to provide to its customers that are interested in a loan to finance their purchase (“Financed Purchase”) access to Program lender partners (the “Lender Partners”) through Provider’s proprietary platform (the “Platform”).  The Program enables such customers (“Applicants”) to receive a loan from a Lender Partner (“Loan”) that allows the Applicants to use the Loan to make the Financed Purchase, with the funds for the Financed Purchase being paid directly to Company by the Lender Partner (a “Financing”).

This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of the Program under which Provider and Company will perform.    

  1.   Provider Obligations. Provider shall setup Company in Provider’s system and issue to Company Program links and associated graphical files (“Program Links”).  Provider will make the Program available to Company subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
  2.   Company Obligations.  For the term of this Agreement, Company shall actively promote and offer the financing provided under the Program to its customers.
  3.      Intentionally omitted
  4.   Payments
    1. Financing; Payment of Funded Amounts; Lender Fee.  In connection with a Financing, once the Lender Partner has cleared any open stips, and once the Applicant has e-signed the Loan, and provided Company uploaded an ID for the Customer, and upon the Company certifying to Provider at the Provider Platform that a Successful Transaction (as defined below) has occurred, Provider shall cause the applicable Lender Partner to initiate an ACH transfer of the Funded Amount (as defined below) to the Company’s depository account set forth in the Company’s enrollment form above.  The timing of the Funded Amount being transferred into the Company’s bank account is usually within two (2) business days from the above being completed.
    2. Promotional Products.  If there is a promotional product related to the Program, such ACH transfer shall be in the amount of the Funded Amount, less the Lender Fee (as defined below).   Certain Lender Partners may require that the Company enter into an agreement with the Lender Partner (the “Company/Lender Partner Agreement”) and the Lender Partner will make the ACH transfer pursuant to the Company/Lender Partner Agreement. Upon Company’s receipt of such Funded Amount less the Lender Fee (if applicable), Company shall apply the full Funded Amount (without accounting for the deducted Lender Fee) as payment for the Company’s goods and/or services provided or to be provided to the Applicant.
      1. A “Successful Transaction” shall have occurred when (A) the Company has received and uploaded to the Provider Platform (i) a valid U.S. picture identification for the Applicant and (ii) if a Financed Purchase is conducted remotely with the Applicant, a just-taken picture of the Applicant (such as, a “selfie”) and (B) the company has made the following certification to Provider at the Provider Platform:

“I hereby certify to Provider and the applicable Lender Partner that (i) I received and reviewed a valid U.S. picture identification for the Applicant (if the Financed Purchase was conducted remotely with the Applicant, a just-taken picture of the Applicant, such as, a “selfie”), and confirmed that the picture identification showed the same full name and likeness of the Applicant and was not expired; (ii) I properly delivered the Product to the Applicant; (iii) the Applicant is satisfied with the Product and (iv) the Financed Purchase has been completed.”

The “Funded Amount” shall be equal to the amount of the Loan.
