Introduction

  1. Our Role: The BlueX Pay services (“BlueX Pay Services”) consist of: (i) payment account boarding; (ii) payment data transmission services that help you integrate with payment processors (collectively, the “Processors”, and each, a “Processor”); and (iii) any of the individual BlueX Pay Services listed on Schedule 1 (each, a “Separate Service”). In order to allow BlueX Pay to perform the BlueX Pay Services, you hereby appoint us as your agent to deliver information and instructions on your behalf to any Processor and in some cases act as your OTI (Ocean Transport Intermediary) to deliver payments.

Neither BlueX Trade, Inc. nor any of its affiliates is a bank, payment institution, processor, or money services business. BlueX Trade, Inc. is a supplier of the BlueX Pay Services as provided under this Agreement. From time to time, in addition to this Agreement, you may be required to enter into separate contractual relationships with banks, Processors, and/or money services businesses in order to make use of some or all of the BlueX Pay Services, as further described herein.

  1. The Processors:   BlueX Pay may add or substitute Processors from time to time. Each Processor will offer services to you on its own or as an agent of one or more banks or other financial institutions in the regions BlueX Pay Services are offered (each such financial institution, a “Financial Services Provider”). Additionally, each Processor will have a contractual relationship with BlueX Pay. The processing and settlement of Transactions (as defined below) (“Payment Processing”) is carried out by one or more Processors and any of the Financial Services Providers under one or more separate processor account agreements (collectively, the “Processor Terms”). By entering into this Agreement and using the BlueX Pay Services, you also agree to enter into and be bound by the applicable Processor Terms, which will be the legal agreement between you and the Processor. BlueX Pay on behalf of the Processor, or the Processor itself, will provide you with one or more means by which you can review and agree to the Processor Terms. If you do not agree to the Processor Terms, you may not use the BlueX Pay Services, and you thereby authorize BlueX Pay to terminate this Agreement with you.

BlueX Pay will not be a party to the Processor Terms and is not liable to you in respect thereof. By entering into this Agreement and the Processor Terms, you will authorize the creation of an account with the Processor for Payment Processing (the “Processor Account”). We reserve the right to add additional Processors or to change any Processor, subject to the terms of our agreement with any such Processor. In the event we require you to enter into additional or amended Processor Terms with existing, additional or different Processors, you agree to do so in order to continue using the BlueX Pay Services. If you do not agree to do so, you may not continue to use the BlueX Pay Services, and you authorize BlueX Pay to terminate this Agreement with you. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and the Processor Terms, this Agreement shall prevail, except in the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and the Processor Terms concerning Payment Processing or the Processor Account, in which case the Processor Terms shall prevail.

Subject to the paragraph above, in order to use the payment functionality of a BlueX Pay Service, you must open an account provided by a Processor and you must accept such Processor’s terms of service and privacy policy.  Any funds held in or transferred through your Processor account are held or transferred by the Processor's financial institution partners. You must be at least 18 years old to create a Processor account. You authorize BlueX to collect and share with any Processor your personal information including full name, date of birth, social security number, physical address, email address, and financial information, and you are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of that data. You understand that you will access and manage your Processor account through the BlueX Pay Services, and any Processor account notification will be sent by BlueX, not the Processor. BlueX will provide customer support for your Processor Account activity.

The Processor shall initially be Airwallex US, LLC (NMLS #1928093) (“Airwallex”). Airwallex shall provide payment services to Customers in the U.S. states listed on Schedule 2, where it is licensed or authorized to do business as a money transmitter. For some U.S. Customers in jurisdictions not listed on Schedule 2, Airwallex partners with Evolve Bank & Trust (member FDIC) to provide payment services. Customers in each respective state can access information on filing complaints about Airwallex’s payment services, money transmission, or currency exchange products here, and customer support here.

You acknowledge and agree that if you allow, whether through action or inaction, any Person to gain access to Login Credentials, with or without permission, you are authorizing that Person to use the BlueX Pay Services, and you will be responsible for all transactions that result from such access, even if you did not want the transactions performed, and even if they are unauthorized or fraudulent.

To the extent allowed by law: You agree to be bound by all payment instructions or transactions initiated in compliance with BlueX Pay's security procedures and this Agreement, whether or not authorized. You agree that you will be liable for all losses or payments resulting from the theft, loss, compromise, or unauthorized use of your BlueX Pay account or Login Credentials, unless (1) you have notified BlueX Pay of possible theft, loss, compromise, or unauthorized use, and (2) we have had a reasonable opportunity to act on that notice.

  1. General Authorization. Customer hereby authorizes BlueX Pay to initiate credit and/or debit entries, as applicable, from Customer’s Settlement Account(s) designated on any Application. If any funds relating to a debit Transaction are returned for any reason, Customer (whether Biller or Payer) agrees that BlueX Pay may (in addition to rights and remedies provided elsewhere in this Agreement) initiate subsequent debits or credit card charges for such Transaction amount and any corresponding Fees. Customer agrees that its failure to ensure sufficient funds are available in Customer’s Settlement Account(s) for any debit transaction, or that sufficient credit is not available on their Wallet for such a Transaction, may result in additional charges from the Processor or Financial Services Provider, and/or BlueX Pay, which amounts will be subsequently deducted from Customer’s account(s) or collected as otherwise permitted herein.

  1. Customer will immediately provide BlueX Pay with notice of any changes to Customer’s Settlement Account(s), and Customer shall hold BlueX Pay harmless from liabilities resulting from Transactions processed using outdated or incorrect account information.

When the Customer is a Non-Asset Based Carrier, BlueX Pay shall have a lien on the accounts receivable from the customers of the Non-Asset Based Carrier. The subject lien may be asserted against any such goods without regard to whether the monies claimed as owed relate to the prior shipment of goods or goods currently being shipped. BlueX Pay reserves the right to foreclose and/or satisfy its lien rights by selling the goods at public auction or private sale (or collecting or selling accounts receivable of a Non-Asset Based Carrier) at the sole discretion of BlueX Pay upon proper and due notice to the Payer (or Non-Asset Based Carrier), and upon receipt of notice in accordance with these provisions, Payer will undertake to notify any other parties with a beneficial interest in the subject goods.

  1. Grant of Security Interest. As security for any existing and future indebtedness of Customer (whether in its capacity as a Payer or a Biller) to BlueX Pay, including claims for charges, expenses, or advances incurred by BlueX Pay in connection with any shipment or transaction of Customer, and whether or not presently contemplated by such Customer, any related Biller or Payer and/or BlueX Pay, such Customer hereby grants, assigns, transfers, conveys, pledges, and mortgages to BlueX Pay a first perfected priority security interest/lien in/upon all goods, documents of title and other property which such Customer provides for its customers and clients and which are the subject of Transactions for which Settlement services are provided hereunder (collectively, with proceeds of the foregoing, the “Collateral”).

Customer expressly agrees that it holds the Collateral as bailee for BlueX Pay’s benefit to secure Customer’s obligations under the terms of this Agreement and that BlueX Pay shall have a security interest and a general and continuing lien on any and all Collateral, wheresoever located, in the possession, custody, or control of Customer or its agents, for any amounts owed by Customer to BlueX Pay with regard to the shipment on which the lien is claimed, a prior shipment(s) or both, and without regard to the services performed by Customer for its customer. BlueX Pay is hereby granted power of attorney to execute and file appropriate financing statements or to otherwise effect any other means of perfection of security interests pursuant to applicable law on Customer’s behalf. This lien and security interest shall be in addition to any other rights BlueX Pay has or may acquire under other agreements, conventions, tariffs, and/or applicable laws, and shall survive delivery or releases of any Collateral. In the event of any failure to fund or in the event of a non-sufficient funds notification or failure to pay any amounts due hereunder, Customer (whether Biller or Payer) shall notify all parties having an interest in its shipment(s) of BlueX Pay 's rights and/or the exercise of such lien. Unless, within thirty days of receiving notice of BlueX Pay’s intent to exercise such lien, Customer posts cash or letter of credit at sight, or, if the amount due is in dispute, an acceptable bond equal to 110% of the value of the total amount due, in favor of BlueX Pay, guaranteeing payment of the monies owed, plus all charges accrued or to be accrued, BlueX Pay shall have the right to sell such shipment(s) at public or private sale or auction and any net proceeds remaining thereafter shall be refunded to Customer.

Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief.  ALL DISPUTES, CLAIMS AND REQUESTS FOR RELIEF WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE BASIS.  ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.  If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this subsection’s limitations as to a given dispute, claim, or request for relief, then such aspect must be severed from the arbitration and brought into the State or Federal Courts located in the State of California.  All other disputes, claims, or requests for relief shall be arbitrated.

  3. Severability.  If any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

  4. Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with BlueX Trade.

  1. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is determined to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable will be deemed void; and the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect. The Parties will substitute a valid provision approximating the intent and economic effect of any invalidated provision.
  2. Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement, including the section headed “Introduction”, constitutes the entire agreement between Customer and BlueX Pay, and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, related to the BlueX Pay Services. This Agreement incorporates each applicable Privacy Policy, Separate Service Conditions and includes any related attachments, schedules, or exhibits or links, as amended from time to time, as well as any Application completed by Customer online, which are incorporated herein by reference. BlueX Pay reserves the right to modify or change this Agreement, as well as its policies relating to the BlueX Pay Services, at any time, in our sole discretion. BlueX Pay will post revised terms and conditions or policies on our Sites, and will provide notice to you of material changes to this Agreement. You will be deemed to have accepted and agreed to any revisions or changes to this Agreement at the time of (i) your electronic acceptance of the revised, changed, or new Agreement, or (ii) your use of the BlueX Pay Services after the effective date of the revised, changed or new Agreement. If the revised, changed or new Agreement is not acceptable to you, your sole and exclusive remedy will be to stop using the BlueX Pay Services.
  3. Counterparts. Where applicable, this Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which is deemed an original, and all of which together constitute one and the same instrument. Facsimile, electronic, or other copies of the executed Agreement are deemed valid and effective.
  4. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly stated herein, there are no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement and it will not be construed to create such rights, benefits or remedies generally.
  5. Assignment. Subject to the Separate Service Conditions, this Agreement may not be assigned, voluntarily or by operation of law, by either Party without prior written consent from the other Party, which will not be unreasonably withheld. Consent, however, is not needed for BlueX Pay to assign this Agreement or any portion thereof to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of BlueX Pay’s of all or a portion of the stock of BlueX Pay or its parent. Any assignment in violation of this subsection will be deemed null and void. This Agreement will extend to and be binding upon any permitted successors and assigns.
  6. Subcontractors. BlueX Pay may subcontract all or any portion of the BlueX Pay Services to its affiliates or vendors both within and outside the United States; provided, BlueX Pay will remain responsible for the performance of the BlueX Pay Services provided through its vendors (if any).
  7. Notices. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, all notices or other communications under this Agreement will be deemed given when mailed by (i) first class registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested; or (ii) by nationally recognized courier service. All notices or other communications will be effective upon receipt. Any notice to (a) BlueX Pay shall be directed to the attention of BlueX Pay, 20955 Pathfinder Rd. Suite 230 Diamond Bar, CA 91765, USA, (b) notice to Customer shall be sent to the Person and address listed on the Registration Application, or such other address as a Party may designate in writing.

Notice to Customer could also be posted on the Site or sent via email to Customer by BlueX Pay.

  1. Survival of Obligations. All Sections of this Agreement which, by their nature, should survive termination of the Agreement will survive.
  2. Independent Contractors. BlueX Pay and Customer are independent contractors. Nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to create a joint venture, partnership, employment or similar relationship between the Parties. Except as specifically provided for herein, neither Party is an agent or representative of the other; and neither Party will represent otherwise.
  3. Waiver. No delay or single, partial, failure, abandonment, or discontinuance of either Party to exercise any right, power or privilege hereunder will affect such right, power or privilege. The Parties’ rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive. Any waiver, consent, or approval of any failure to comply, breach or default under this Agreement must be in writing, will be effective only to the extent set forth in such writing and will not continue to apply to additional failures to comply, breaches or defaults.
  4. Electronic Signatures. Each Party agrees that the electronic signatures, whether digital or encrypted, of the Parties included in this Agreement or agreements referred to in this Agreement are intended to authenticate this writing and to have the same force and effect as manual signatures.  Electronic signature means any electronic sound, symbol, or process attached to or logically associated with a record and executed and adopted by a Party with the intent to sign or otherwise execute such record, including facsimile or email electronic signatures.
