Submission of an Offer Addendum does not obligate Agent to accept it or any of its contents nor to promote the Offer, and is not binding on Agent until Agent actually promotes the Offer as determined by Agent. At the point Agent begins to promote Principal's Offer to the public, the "Sales Period" begins and the Offer becomes an "Active Offer" during such Sales Period(s) unless Agent earlier terminates the Offer for any or no reason. Principal is responsible and liable for all Offer content and terms, and for Agent's or any purchaser's use or reliance on any of the foregoing. In creating an Offer, Principal may not: (a) offer to sell any goods or services on terms or in a manner that is prohibited by law from being offered or advertised; (b) include any content that violates or infringes in any way upon the rights of others; or (c) include any material that is unlawful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, invasive of privacy or publicity rights, vulgar, obscene, profane or otherwise objectionable, which encourages conduct that could constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability or otherwise violate any law.
  2. Promotion of Offers. If Agent accepts Principal's Offer Addendum, Agent may promote the Offer using any method and through any medium that Agent deems appropriate in its sole discretion, including through e-mail, mobile applications and any other type of electronic interface or distribution channel owned, affiliated, controlled or operated by or through Agent. Agent further reserves the right, but has no obligation, to promote the Offer through its affiliates and third-party business partners from time to time. Agent will promote each accepted Offer to Agent's customers and potential customers based on geographic or other geolocational data, but will determine the customers and potential customers to whom Principal's Offer is actually promoted and made available in its sole discretion. If Principal indicates specific limits or maximums with respect to the number or type of vouchers that may be offered through an Offer in the Offer Addendum, Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts to stop promoting Principal's Offer accordingly.
  3. Distribution of Vouchers. Once Agent has received payment from a User of the amount owed, Agent will authorize for use, and make a voucher available to, the User of Principal's Offer. The vouchers will include any restrictions or limitations on the use of the voucher Principal has specified in the Offer Addendum. Users, or their authorized transferees, may then redeem the Offer by presenting Vouchers to Principal as printed certificates, through mobile devices, or any other media that Agent has adopted for voucher redemption.
  4. Redemption Obligations. Principal shall comply with Principal's obligations specified in this Agreement, and the Offer Addendum. In addition, when redeeming vouchers, Principal shall: (a) honor the vouchers during the time period specified on and pursuant to the terms of Principal’s Offer, and as required under applicable law(s); (b) handle all customer service in connection with the redemption and use of the vouchers; (c) honor any voucher presented by an individual, even if that individual was not the purchaser, unless (i) otherwise specified in the Offer Terms (as defined below) or otherwise stated prominently on the face of the voucher or, (ii) Principal reasonably believes that individual obtained the voucher in an unauthorized or illegal manner, in which case Principal shall immediately contact Agent and explain the circumstances; and (d) comply with the terms and conditions stated on the voucher without modification and without imposing any restrictions or additional charges or penalties that are not expressly stated on the voucher. Principal shall specify all generally applicable policies (e.g., cancellation policies that apply to all customers), restrictions and contractual arrangements (e.g., liability waivers required for all customers) applicable to the Offer ("Offer Terms") in the Offer Addendum, and Agent shall have no liability for the nature of Principal’s Offer Terms, Principal’s failure to specify appropriate Offer Terms, or (z) any other claims or damages arising out of any voucher or any redemption or other use of any voucher.
  5. Payment Terms for Offers. Agent will remit to Principal the agreed upon cost for Offers based on the agreed upon price less any deductions as stated in the Offer Addendum. Agent will remit the funds to the Principal via ACH on a weekly basis for all Offers reported used in the period two weeks prior.
  6. Reporting. It is the Principal's sole responsibility to utilize Agent’s provider portal to record Offer usage. All used vouchers shall be reported no later than 10 days following the date the goods or services are provided.
  7. Insurance. Principal represents and warrants that it has, and shall maintain at its expense and at all times during the term of this Agreement, all types of liability insurance policies, with coverage in amounts that are customary for merchants and/or service providers in Principal's region, consistent with best industry practices, and sufficient to fully comply with applicable law and fulfill Principal's obligations under these terms (but in no event in amounts less than as specified in Section 2 above). Upon Agent's request, Principal shall provide proof of Principal's maintenance of such policies and provide assurances that indicate that Agent will be covered by such insurance policies in the event of a claim arising under or in relation to this Agreement.
C) GENERAL TERMS & CONDITIONS

  1. Term & Termination. Either party shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement upon 30 days' prior, written notice to the other party. Any outstanding scheduled Events or Offers will need to be honored based on the terms and/or addendums associated with those items. Either party may cancel this agreement immediately, including future scheduled events, if the other party breaches the terms of this agreement and fails to cure such breach within 15 days from the date of receipt of written notice of such breach.
  2. Payment Processing Fees. The following fees will be deducted from funds due to the Principal in connection with Fee Transactions (as defined below), such amounts to be detailed in the applicable Event reconciliation:
    1. 1.75% + $0.25 per User transaction for card swipe transactions on Agent’s or Customer’s POS systems
    2. 3.5% + $0.15 per User transaction for mobile ordering or key-in transactions on Agent’s POS system
    3. 1.95% + $0.25 per User transaction for all Delivery and Catering orders.
    For purposes of this Agreement, “Fee Transactions” shall mean: (1) Popup: all payments collected by Agent via its website, mobile app, vouchers, or on-site credit card payments via Agent’s or third-party point of sale system; (2) Delivery: all User transactions; (3) Catering: all User transactions; or (4) Offers: all User transactions. For any transactions that do not originate on Agent’s POS or order management system, Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts to use the data provided by the third party to estimate the Payment Processing Fees based on the above schedule. All disputed, invalid, or fraudulent credit card charges submitted by Principal via POS will be the responsibility of the Principal and will be deducted from any monies due to Principal.
  3. Site Management Fees. If an Event does not require the Principal to furnish plates, containers, napkins, condiments, and/or utensils for food consumption, then the following fee will be deducted from funds due to the Principal:
    1. 1.5% of an Event’s total sales less any taxes or government/municipal fees.
  4. Point of Sale System. Agent shall be entitled to require Principal to use a specific Point of Sale system at Popup events. Principal is required to use Agent’s mobile POS application for every transaction, whether paid by cash or credit or any other means, at every Popup event unless otherwise communicated in writing by Agent. Principal’s mobile or tablet device should always be connected to the internet, whenever possible, when processing transactions. When Principal’s device is connected to the internet, a customer’s credit card will be validated before completing the transaction. If the Principal’s device is not connected to the internet or the mobile application is unable to reach Agent’s server, customer transactions will be automatically approved but credit cards will not be validated. The Principal will be responsible for any orders approved, where payment cannot be collected, while not connected to the internet or Agent’s server. This feature is being offered as a convenience to the Principal but may only be used when necessary. Principal is responsible for reconnecting the device to the internet and Agent’s server as soon as possible during or after the Popup event, and completely uploading the data from the device. Principal will not be paid for any orders that are not synced to Agent’s server. The cost of any physical device or POS equipment will be paid for by the Principal.
  5. Fooda Rewards. Fooda Rewards is a Popup and Delivery loyalty program to thank loyal Users and encourage their continued spending. Principal is required to participate in Fooda Rewards to the extent it is available in Principal’s Events. For Popup, Principal’s staff will ask Users for their phone number to enter in the Agent’s POS during payment transactions to provide reward points to Users. Users will receive two (2) reward points for every dollar spent, excluding tax and discounts. Once Users accumulate 100 reward points, they can exchange for a $2 Reward in Agent’s mobile app. Principal is not required to pay a monthly fee for the loyalty program. Users can redeem the points at any Popup or Delivery Event, not limited to the restaurant where the points were earned. Principal is responsible for the cost of redeemed Rewards and will not be reimbursed by Agent. Agent reserves the right to change the program terms or cancel the program at any time at its sole discretion.
  6. Billing and Payment. Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts to reconcile each week’s Events by the middle of the following week. A reconciliation form will be created for each Event and emailed to Principal’s accounting contact email address. Agent will then pay or charge the Principal via ACH for the net amount due to or from the Principal the week following the creation of the reconciliation. From collected amounts Agent will deduct its Commissions, payment processing fees, scheduling fees, and any other charges set forth herein, Commissions addendum, or otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing. The funds remitted to the Principal may include estimated sales tax. These funds will be deposited (or withdrawn) from Principal's account within two (2) business days of the date on which Agent submits the ACH instructions to its bank. For payment terms related to Offers see Agent Offers Terms and Conditions above. Either party may notify the other party of errors or irregularities with Billing and Payment and both parties will make a good faith effort to review records related to the transactions. The parties agree to a lookback period of up to twelve (12) months back from when the request is made in writing by the requesting party. This lookback period limitation does not apply in the case of fraud or theft. Any required payment due to either party as a result of the reconciliation pursuant to this clause shall be made from the appropriate party to the other within thirty (30) days after the parties agree on such reconciliation.

Principal is also responsible and liable for: (a) the decision to make Principal's food, goods and services available through Agent; (b) fulfillment to all Users; (c) verifying the accuracy of menu and service prices and tax rates in Agent’s mobile, web, and offline marketing and sales systems; and (d) supplying all food, goods and/or services specified in the addenda.
  12. Marketing Materials. Principal shall provide Agent with access to its marketing materials, and hereby authorizes Agent to use such materials in its marketing activities, including products or services offered, food menus, graphics, logos, and brand name so Agent can market the Principal's products and services.
  13. Intellectual Property; Licensure; Compliance. Principal represents, warrants and covenants that: (a) its business and the food, goods or services offered through Agent do not and will not infringe, misappropriate, or otherwise violate any intellectual property right or right of privacy or publicity of any third party; (b) it holds all necessary licenses, registrations, regulatory documents and authorization documents, if any, required to make any Offer and provide the goods or services described therein; (c) it will comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations in performing hereunder; and (d) it will provide the food, goods and services made available through Agent in a professional manner consistent with industry best practices.

For purposes of clarity, using any such information to market to or contract with Customers or Users is strictly prohibited. Principal acknowledges that any breach of this provision shall entitle Agent to seek injunctive relief, among other remedies, as monetary damages alone may not be sufficient to compensate Agent in the event of Principal’s breach of this provision.
  16. PCI Compliance. In the event Principal is not using Agent’s point of sale (POS), the Principal will accept cashless payments (including credit and / or debit cards) and it will ensure that its staff adheres to the then current PCI (Payment Card Industry) Standards or any equivalent thereof or any substitute therefore. Any costs associated with an audit or to gain compliance or to remedy a violation of these standards, including User or Customer reimbursements, shall be borne by the Principal. Principal shall notify Agent if it suspects or has been notified by any third party of a possible security breach related to the cashless system (or related cashless data) used at any Fooda Services Event. In the event that Principal is using Agent’s POS, Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the POS is PCI compliant and other than in the event of the Principal’s negligence, Agent will be responsible for any costs associated with an audit or to gain compliance or to remedy a violation of these standards, including User or Customer reimbursements. Complementary Controls for Principal: Fooda Services and related controls were designed with the assumption that certain controls will be implemented by Principal. Such controls should be followed by Principal to complement Agent's controls. Principal should maintain controls to provide reasonable assurance that:
    1. Controls are implemented by Principal to only use the Agent's iOS mobile application distributed through the AppStore. Agent does not distribute mobile applications through any other channels.
    2. Controls are implemented by Principal to secure mobile devices from hackers, snoopers, and thieves with a minimum configuration that includes the following: (a) a strong device passcode (Apple iOS passcode); (b) automated iOS updates; (c) USB restricted mode.
    3. Controls are implemented by Principal to ensure physical controls to prevent unauthorized users from accessing the payment card reader and mobile device running the Agent's POS application during and after business hours. Authorized users should receive appropriate security and privacy awareness training, and be required to authenticate (POS passcode) to the mobile device prior to performing payment processing activities. Controls are implemented by Principal to avoid installing and using the Agent's POS app on a iOS device that has an outdated and jailbroken operating system.
    4. Controls are implemented by Principal to immediately notify Agent's representatives of any internal and external incidents (e.g. lost or stolen devices) that may impact payment processing activities.
    5. Controls are implemented by Principal to configure the Agent's POS app to process transactions while using a trusted cellular connection (preferred). Alternatively, the Agent's POS app may process such transactions through a trusted Wi-Fi network configured in accordance with industry standards. At least, the wireless network must use WPA2 encryption, and protect payment transactions against rogue access point attacks. Public Wi-Fi should not be used.
    6. Controls are implemented by Principal to change vendor-supplied default passwords of the systems that are part of the network used to facilitate payment processing activities.
    7. Controls are implemented by Principal to avoid collecting, exposing or backing-up payment information on paper and other electronic systems not explicitly approved by Agent.
    8. Controls are implemented by Principal to securely uninstall the Agent's POS application prior to retiring, selling or disposing of a mobile device that has been used for payment processing.
  17. Health and Safety. Principal represents and warrants that all goods, food or services provided in connection with any Event or Offer are safe and comply with all applicable laws regarding health and safety, licensing, fire, and hygiene standards (collectively, “Health Laws”). At Agent's request, Principal will promptly provide copies of any applicable facility operating license(s), or similar credentials or documents evidencing compliance with the Health Laws. As is evidenced by this agreement, Principal expressly allows all local, county, and/or state regulatory agencies to release information directly to Agent related to inspections, violations, licensing, or any other applicable information pertaining to a Principal’s ability to fulfill the terms of this agreement or ability to operate. Principal shall ensure that its facilities and operations remain in compliance with all applicable Health Laws during the term of this Agreement. Principal agrees to abide by list of banned items and foods, which may be updated at Agent’s discretion and is available at www.fooda.com/bannedfoods. Agent reserves the right to immediately terminate its relationship with Principal, and to refuse to promote Principal's food, goods or services, if Agent believes, in its sole discretion, that Principal's facilities or services do not fully comply with any or all applicable Health Laws. Any state or local violations, including lost sales, profits, fees, or legal expenses related to Health Laws in connection with any Offers or Events are the sole responsibility of the Principal. All persons who enter Customers’ property are prohibited from carrying a handgun or firearm of any kind onto the property regardless of whether or not the person is licensed to carry a handgun.
  18. Sites. Principal acknowledges that Agent does not own, operate or in any other manner exercise any control or influence over Customers hosting Events. Customers may have constraints related to location, hours, access, or other requirements affecting the service area.
