THESE TERMS CONTAIN IMPORTANT PROVISIONS INCLUDING AN ARBITRATION PROVISION THAT REQUIRES ALL DISPUTES TO BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION, WHICH MEANS THAT YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO HAVE THOSE DISPUTES DECIDED BY A JUDGE OR JURY, AND A WAIVER OF RIGHTS TO PARTICIPATE IN CLASS ACTIONS, CLASS ARBITRATIONS, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS. PLEASE SEE SECTIONS 23 (DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION) AND SECTION 24 (WAIVER OF CLASS ARBITRATION OR ACTIONS) BELOW. If there is a conflict between the terms, the Data Processing Agreement (DPA) shall govern, followed by the terms of the Acceptable Use Policy, any Order Form, the Terms of Service (including any other hyperlinked terms incorporated by reference herein), and finally the terms of the Privacy Policy.
- Recharge Service. Recharge’s services include products, features, and related services for commerce optimization including solutions for enabling and managing orders, subscriptions, payments, recurring billing, and loyalty (the “Service”). Any new products or features that are added to the current Services will also be subject to these terms.
- Terms with Your Customers. You are solely responsible for all of the terms and conditions and policies of the transactions conducted with your customers, including, without limitation, terms regarding payment, subscriptions, returns, warranties, shipping, handling, transportation, storage, insurance, fees, applicable taxes, text messaging (if applicable), title and licenses, and data, all of which must be in accordance with applicable law.
- API Agreement. If you choose to access or use Recharge’s API, including any modification or personalization of the API, the Recharge API Agreement shall govern Your access to and use of the API (as defined therein). The Recharge API Agreement is incorporated, by this reference, into and made a part of these Terms.
- Eligibility. By agreeing to these terms, you represent and warrant to us that if you are an individual: (a) you are at least 18 years old; (b) you are not currently and have not previously been suspended or otherwise removed from the Service; and (c) your registration and your use of the Service is and will remain in compliance with any and all applicable laws and regulations at all times. If you are an entity, organization, or company, the individual accepting these terms on your behalf represents and warrants that they have the authority to agree and bind you to these terms.
- Accounts and Registration. To access the Service, you must register for an account. When you register for an account, you will be required to provide us with information about yourself, such as your name, email address, store URL, or other contact information. You agree that the information you provide to us is accurate, current, and complete and that you will keep it accurate, current, and complete at all times. When you register, you will be asked to provide a password. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account, and you accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account. If you believe that your account is no longer secure, then you must immediately contact us.
- Payment Terms. Certain features of the Service may require you to pay fees. Except as otherwise expressly stated in an active Order Form, all payment obligations are non-cancellable and all fees are in U.S. Dollars and are non-transferable and non-refundable.
- Price. Recharge reserves the right to determine pricing for the Service. Unless otherwise expressly set forth in an active Order Form, Recharge, at its sole discretion, may change the fees for the Service on a going-forward basis. Recharge, at its sole discretion, may make promotional offers. These promotional offers, unless made to you, will not apply to the Service we provide to you or these terms as between Recharge and you. If the pricing for the Service (as defined above) increases, we will notify you and provide you with an opportunity to change your subscription to the Service before applying those changes to your account and charging your payment details in connection with an automatic renewal.
- Order Form. If you enter into an Order Form with Recharge, you agree to pay for the Service on the pricing and automatic renewal terms, as applicable, set forth in the Order Form.
- Authorization. You authorize Recharge to charge all sums for the orders that you make and any Service you select as described in these terms, including all applicable taxes, to the payment method specified in your account. If you pay any such sums with a credit card, (a) you must keep a valid credit card on file with Recharge (“Authorized Card”); (b) Recharge may seek pre-authorization of your credit card account prior to your purchase to verify that the credit card is valid and has the necessary funds or credit available to cover your purchase(s); (c) if the Authorized Card expires, you hereby give Recharge permission to submit the credit card charge with a later expiration date. If Recharge is not able to process payment of Fees using an Authorized Payment Method, Recharge may make subsequent attempts to process payment using any Authorized Payment Method.
- Your Service. If you activate any aspect of the Service (as defined above), you authorize Recharge to periodically charge, on a going-forward basis and until you cancel, all accrued sums, which may involve automatically recurring billing and payments. The “Billing Date” is the date of your first Service purchase, unless otherwise stated in your active Order Form. For your “Service Fee”, please see https://stage.getrecharge.com/pricing/ or your active Order Form, as applicable. Unless otherwise stated in your active Order Form, your account will be charged the Service Fee plus all applicable fees and taxes automatically on or after the Billing Date. The Service will continue unless and until you cancel or we terminate your Service. We, or the relevant ecommerce platform hosting your store(s), will charge the periodic Service Fee plus all applicable fees and taxes to the payment method specified in your account. If you believe that Recharge has charged you incorrectly, you must contact Recharge no later than thirty (30) days after the applicable billing date in order to be eligible for an adjustment or credit. Failure to do so within the aforementioned period will constitute your agreement that the amounts charged are accurate and valid. You may cancel your subscription to the Service by initiating the cancellation process in your account or contacting us.
- Unpaid Fees. If Recharge is unable to successfully process payment of fees using an Authorized Card within thirty (30) days of the initial attempt or otherwise collect fees within thirty (30) days of the applicable billing date or invoice date, if later, Recharge may suspend and revoke your access to the Service. Access will be reactivated upon payment of any outstanding fees. During any period of suspension, you will not be able to access the Service, and your customers may not be able to access the customer portal. Recharge shall not be liable to you or any third party arising out of or related to the inability to access the Service due to a suspension pursuant to this Section. If the outstanding undisputed fees remain unpaid for thirty (30) days following the date of suspension, Recharge reserves the right to terminate these Terms in accordance with the Term and Termination Section below. A late fee of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less, may be applied to all amounts past due. You shall pay all reasonable expenses (including attorney’s fees and court costs) incurred by Recharge in collecting unpaid fees, excluding amounts disputed by you in reasonable and good faith in writing in accordance with the notice provisions of these Terms.

- Term and Termination
- Term. These terms are effective beginning on the earlier of when you accept the terms, or first download, install, access, or use of the Service, and shall end when terminated as described in this section. If you violate any provision of these terms, your authorization to access the Service and these terms shall automatically terminate. In addition, unless an active Order Form specifies a Service term length, Recharge may, at its sole discretion, terminate these terms or your account on the Service, or suspend or terminate your access to the Service, at any time for any reason or no reason, with or without notice. Unless you have agreed otherwise in an active Order Form, you may terminate your account and these terms at any time by initiating the cancellation process in your account or contacting us.
- Termination for Cause. Either party may terminate these terms (including all related active Order Forms) upon written notice if the other party: (a) fails to cure any material breach of these terms within thirty (30) days after written notice; (b) ceases operation without a successor; (c) becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, or liquidation for the benefit of creditors; or (d) assigns or attempts to assign these terms to a third party in violation of these terms. Except where an exclusive remedy is specified, the exercise of either party of any remedy under these terms, including termination, will be without prejudice to any other remedies it may have under these terms, by law or otherwise.
- Early Termination. If you terminate use of the Service pursuant to an Order Form for any reason other than for Termination for Cause as described above, prior to the end of the term specified in such Order Form, then as a genuine pre-estimate of Recharge’s damages, and not as a penalty, Recharge will have the right to charge you the store fee, account management fee and any monthly fee, all multiplied by the number of months remaining during the term specified in such order form, as well as any one-time, non-recurring fees specified in such order form, as applicable. The parties expressly agree that the damages that Recharge might reasonably anticipate to be sustained by Recharge upon any such termination are difficult to ascertain and measure because of their indefiniteness or uncertainty and that the amount set forth above is a reasonable estimate of the damages that would likely be caused and shall be due regardless of proof of actual damages.
- Effect of Termination. Upon any termination of these terms: (a) your license rights under these terms will terminate and you must immediately cease all use of the Service; (b) you will no longer be authorized to access your account or the Service; (c) you will no longer have access to any Content that you uploaded or otherwise published or provided to or via the Service; and (d) you must pay Recharge any unpaid amount that was due prior to termination. Additionally, upon any termination of these terms, you must promptly: (i) stop using or distributing any Materials or Scripts that may be installed on any of your property and (ii) delete (or, at our request, return) any and all copies of the Materials and Scripts, any Recharge documentation, and any other Recharge Confidential Information (as defined below) in your possession, custody, or control.
- Modification of the Service. 1.Recharge reserves the right to modify or discontinue the Service (including by limiting or discontinuing certain features of the Service), temporarily or permanently, so long as such change does not materially degrade the overall functionality of the Service during your use of the Service or the term of the applicable Order Form (“Material Modifications”). Recharge shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, price change, suspension, or discontinuance of the Services. For any Material Modifications, your sole remedy will be termination in accordance with Section 15.2 and a potential refund.
- Indemnity. 1.To the fullest extent permitted by law, you are responsible for your use of the Service, and you will indemnify and hold harmless Recharge and its officers, directors, employees, consultants, affiliates, subsidiaries, and agents (together, the “Recharge Entities”) from and against any and all liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Recharge Entities related to any claim, suit, action or proceeding brought by a third party arising out of or connected with: (a) your unauthorized use of, or misuse of, the Service; (b) your violation of any portion of these terms, any representation, warranty, or agreement referenced in these terms, or any applicable law or regulation; (c) your violation of any third-party right, including any intellectual property right or publicity, confidentiality, other property, or privacy right; or (d) any dispute or issue between you and any third party in connection with these terms. We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you (without limiting your indemnification obligations with respect to that matter), and in that case, you agree to cooperate with our defense of those claims.
- Disclaimers; No Warranties. 1.THE SERVICE AND ALL MATERIALS AND CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICE ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND ON AN “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. RECHARGE DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, RELATING TO THE SERVICE AND ALL MATERIALS AND CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICE, INCLUDING: (A) ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT; AND (B) ANY WARRANTY ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE, OR TRADE. RECHARGE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE OR ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICE, OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT OFFERED THROUGH THE SERVICE, WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR FREE OF ERRORS, VIRUSES, OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS, AND RECHARGE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT ANY OF THOSE ISSUES WILL BE CORRECTED. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY YOU FROM THE SERVICE OR ANY OF THE RECHARGE ENTITIES OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICE WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY REGARDING ANY OF THE RECHARGE ENTITIES OR THE SERVICE THAT IS NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT MAY RESULT FROM THE SERVICE AND YOUR DEALING WITH ANY OTHER PROVIDER OR SERVICE USER. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU USE ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICE AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK, AND THAT WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR PROPERTY (INCLUDING YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM OR MOBILE DEVICE USED IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICE) OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, INCLUDING YOUR CONTENT. THE LIMITATIONS, EXCLUSIONS, AND DISCLAIMERS IN THIS SECTION APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. RECHARGE DOES NOT DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTY OR OTHER RIGHT THAT RECHARGE IS PROHIBITED FROM DISCLAIMING UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
- Limitation of Liability
- TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE RECHARGE ENTITIES BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, OR ANY OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSS) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF, OR YOUR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE, THE SERVICE OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT ON THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT ANY RECHARGE ENTITY HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGE.
- TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE RECHARGE ENTITIES TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE USE OF OR ANY INABILITY TO USE ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICE OR OTHERWISE UNDER THESE TERMS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF: (A) THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID TO RECHARGE FOR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICE IN THE 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE EVENT OR CIRCUMSTANCE GIVING RISE TO THE APPLICABLE CLAIM; OR (B) $100.
- EACH PROVISION OF THESE TERMS THAT PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS INTENDED TO AND DOES ALLOCATE THE RISKS BETWEEN THE PARTIES UNDER THESE TERMS. THIS ALLOCATION IS REFLECTED IN THE PRICING OFFERED BY RECHARGE TO YOU AND IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION WILL APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
- BECAUSE SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS (SUCH AS THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY) MAY NOT ALLOW EXCLUSIONS OR DISCLAIMERS OF REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR GUARANTEES REGARDING THE MATTERS SET FORTH IN THESE TERMS, THOSE LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS AFFECTS STATUTORY RIGHTS THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED OR LIMITED BY CONTRACT.
- Dispute Resolution and Arbitration. 1.These terms shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. In the event of any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to these terms, or any breach thereof, such controversy or claim shall be determined and finally settled by confidential, binding arbitration, conducted in English, held in Los Angeles County, California, administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) before a sole arbitrator in accordance with the then-current AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules. The award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties thereto, and judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Any claimants must file an individual request for arbitration, specifying such claimant’s identity, such claimant’s counsel, and a detailed description of the claims being asserted and the requested relief, including a good faith calculation of the specific amount in dispute. Nothing in this Section shall prevent either party from applying to a court of competent jurisdiction for equitable or injunctive relief.
- Waiver of Class Arbitration or Actions. 1.Any claims that you or Recharge assert under these terms will be brought on an individual basis only and not on a class, consolidated, representative, or collective basis. Only individual relief is available for controversies and claims arising out of or relating to these terms, or any breach thereof, and you and Recharge agree that class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted under any circumstances. You understand that, by agreeing to these terms, you and Recharge are waiving the right to participate in any form of class arbitration and/or class action.
- Confidentiality
- Confidential Information. For the purposes of these terms, each party (“Disclosing Party”) may provide the other party (“Receiving Party”) with certain information (“Confidential Information”) in whatever form (written, oral, or visual) that is designated by Disclosing Party as proprietary or confidential, or that should be reasonably understood to be proprietary or confidential due to its nature and the circumstances of its disclosure. For the avoidance of doubt, the Service, all Recharge developer or administrator documentation guides for and provided with the Service, as may be updated by Recharge from time to time, and all enhancements and improvements thereto, will be considered Confidential Information of Recharge.
- Protection of Confidential Information. Receiving Party agrees that it will not use or disclose to any third party any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, except for exercising its rights and performing its obligations under these terms. Receiving Party will limit access to the Confidential Information to those of its employees, representatives, and contractors who: (i) have a need to know such Confidential Information in furtherance of the provision or receipt of the Service, as applicable, and (ii) who are subject to confidentiality obligations no less restrictive than those set forth herein. In addition, Receiving Party will protect Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure in the same manner that it protects its own proprietary information of a similar nature, but in no event with less than a commercially reasonable degree of care. At Disclosing Party’s request or upon termination of these terms, Receiving Party will return to Disclosing Party or destroy (or permanently erase in the case of electronic files) all copies of the Confidential Information that Receiving Party does not have a continuing right to use under these terms, and, upon request, Receiving Party shall provide to Disclosing Party written notice certifying compliance with this sentence, unless prohibited by applicable law.
- Exceptions. The confidentiality obligations set forth in this Section will not apply to any information that: (a) is or becomes generally available to the public through no fault of Receiving Party; (b) is lawfully provided to Receiving Party by a third party free of any confidentiality duties or obligations; (c) was already known to Receiving Party without restriction at the time of disclosure; or (d) was independently developed by Receiving Party without use or reference to the Confidential Information. Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information if compelled or required to do so by law or by the order of a court or similar judicial or administrative body, provided that Receiving Party promptly (to the extent legally permitted) notifies Disclosing Party in writing of such required disclosure so that Disclosing Party may, at its own cost and expense, seek an appropriate protective order.
- Remedies. Any breach or threatened or attempted breach of this Section may result in immediate, irreparable harm for which monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds that Receiving Party has breached (or attempted or threatened to breach) any of the obligations set forth in this Section, Receiving Party agrees that, without any additional findings of irreparable injury or other conditions to injunctive relief, it will not oppose the entry of an appropriate order compelling its performance and restraining it from any further breaches (or attempted or threatened breaches).
