This Circulus Services Agreement (the "Agreement") is between Circulus, LLC, a Texas
corporation ("Circulus", "we", "us" or "our"), and you and any person or organization
for which you act that has a Circulus account (the "Customer", "you", or "your").
You represent and warrant that you have the right and authority to enter into this
Agreement on your own behalf and on behalf of the Customer, if applicable. By clicking
"I Accept" below, you agree that you and the Customer, if applicable, will be bound
by the terms of this Agreement. This Agreement incorporates by this reference terms
and conditions displayed on the "Web Site," defined below.
1. SERVICES
Circulus provides services (the "Service(s)") through the Circulus web site at the
URL www.circulus.io (the "Web Site"). Each Customer may access one or more of the
Services through the Customer’s Circulus account.
A Customer may invite you to create a free account. These free accounts enable you
to receive bill payment from the Customer who invited you, but you will not be able
to use the other features.
A Circulus account may have multiple users with different roles, such as administrator,
approver, accountant, clerk, payer, staff, or a user-defined custom role. The functions
of your role are as set forth in your Customer’s account on the Web Site and in
applicable provisions of this Agreement. Each Circulus account must have at least
one administrator ("Administrator") who may add additional users and designate their
roles.
Accounts Payable. The accounts payable component of the Services may include one
or more of the following services:
- Bill indexing and document management
- Workflow and approvals
- Synchronization of data with accounting software
- Data Entry Service
- Bill Payment Services
2. Circulus ACCOUNTS PAYABLE SERVICE
These terms and conditions govern use of the Accounts Payable component of the Services.
2.1. BILL INDEXING AND DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT.
A Customer may authorize one or more users to upload invoices, bills and other statements
of account from vendors ("Statements") to the inbox ("Inbox") of the Customer’s
Circulus account directly through the Web Site or by email or fax, using the email
or fax numbers assigned by Circulus. A Customer may also authorize vendors to send
electronic Statements to the Customer’s Circulus account using the email or fax numbers
assigned by Circulus. Circulus is not responsible for Statements that are misdirected
or not received by Circulus. Each Customer should regularly review its Inbox to assure
that expected Bills are there. A Customer may also authorize one or more users to
upload in the same way documents that are not Bills that the Customer wishes to
store electronically ("Additional Documents"). Without prior notice, Circulus reserves
the right to cancel and reassign fax numbers for accounts that have been inactive
or for which the " Fees" (as defined below) are delinquent for thirty (30) days
or more.
An Customer must designate each item in its Inbox as a new or existing Statement,
vendor credit, vendor document or company document and input identifying details
(such as vendor name, invoice number, invoice date, due date and amount ("Statement
Details")). If a Customer elects the Data Entry Service, Circulus will provide the
additional assistance described below.
2.2. WORKFLOW.
An Administrator of a Circulus account may invite persons, such as the Customer’s
employees or accountant, to establish login access to the Circulus account. The Administrator
must define each user’s role, which may include managing vendors, Statements and
Additional Documents; approving Statements; managing payments and bank accounts;
managing the account and users; accounting; or receivables. In this way, the Administrator
can manage how Statements are recorded, approved, and paid by the Customer.
2.3. SYNCHRONIZATION.
A Customer may choose to install Circulus software that enables the Customer to update
the Customer’s accounting software program file with the latest payables transactions
in Circulus, and synchronizes the list of accounts, classes, and vendors between
the Customer’s Circulus account and the Customer’s accounting software program. A
Customer can sync with certain online accounting software programs without installing
Circulus software.
2.4. DATA ENTRY SERVICE.
A Customer that is not associated with a Console may elect the data entry service
to help process documents in the "Inbox" of the AP Customer’s Circulus account (“Data
Entry Services”). Alternatively, a Console Customer may elect the Data Entry Service
for any Circulus account associated with the Console. Circulus (or its service provider)
will enter Bill Details for legible Bills and return Documents to the AP Customer’s
"Inbox" for processing by the AP Customer. The Customer can then review, edit, approve
and pay Bills, apply credits, and organize Documents according to the Customer’s
internal processes. The Customer agrees to establish internal controls that can
detect, correct and compensate for errors and failures of Data Entry Service. If
a Customer elects the Data Entry Service, the Customer expressly agrees that it
releases Circulus from any and all claims, harms, damages, and/or losses related
to Data Entry Services. The Customer retains responsibility for timely and correct
payment of its Bills.
2.5. BILL PAYMENT.
To use the Bill Payment Service, each Customer and its vendor (“Vendor”) must enter
on the Web Site the bank routing number and bank account number for one or more
bank accounts (each a "Payment Account"). When you enter Payment Account information,
(1) you represent that you have authority to disclose the Payment Account information
and to bind the Payment Account holder, (2) the Payment Account holder authorizes
the initiation of debit or credit entries to the Payment Account in accordance with
instructions input on the Web Site and, if necessary, the initiation of adjustments
for any transactions debited in error, (3) you and the Payment Account holder acknowledge
that transactions initiated to the Payment Account must comply with the provisions
of U.S. law, and (4) this authorization will remain in effect until the Payment
Account holder notifies Circulus Customer Support on the Web Site or in writing to
cancel it in such time as to afford Circulus the opportunity to act on it, and (5)
neither you nor the Payment Account holder will use the Service for personal, family,
or household purposes except in connection with an accounting, bookkeeping, or other
advisory business.
2.5.1. VERIFICATION.
Neither you nor any Customer, or Vendor may participate in the Bill Payment Service
if Circulus cannot verify your, the Customer’s, or the Vendor’s (as applicable) identity,
financial condition, creditworthiness or other necessary information. You authorize
Circulus, directly or through third parties, to make any inquiries they consider
necessary to validate your, the Customer’s, and the Vendor’s respective identities,
financial condition and creditworthiness. This may include asking for further information,
requiring steps to confirm ownership of email addresses and Payment Accounts, ordering
a credit report and verifying information against third party databases or through
other sources. In addition, you, the Customer, and the Vendor each agree that Circulus
has the right to obtain financial information regarding the Payment Account from
a financial institution or from anyone you pay or are paid by through the Service
(for example, to resolve payment posting problems or for verification). Notwithstanding
any steps taken to verify information hereunder, you hereby represent and warrant
that you have the right, power and authority to conduct and authorize transactions
you make pertaining to any Payment Account and that all information you provided
on the Web Site is complete, accurate and up to date.
2.5.2. PAYMENT PROCESSING.
You agree that electronic payment transactions will be governed by the Automated
Clearinghouse ("ACH") rules as in effect from time-to-time, under which you or the
Customer is an "Originator", and the Vendor is a "Receiver", Circulus is a "Third
Party Service Provider," and the bank that holds Circulus’ master bank account is
the "Originating Depository Financial Institution."
Circulus reserves the right to debit a Receiver’s account if the ACH debit from an
Originator’s Payment Account is returned because of insufficient funds or any other
reason. The Originator shall be solely responsible for all penalties, interest charges,
late payment fees and service fees resulting from such a debit to the Receiver.
In some cases, a Customer may reverse a transaction for up to 180 days after it
settled, or a transaction may be invalidated for fraud or some other reason, in
which case the funds will be removed from the Receiver’s Payment Account long after
initial deposit. You agree at all times to maintain sufficient funds in your Payment
Account to satisfy all obligations including returns, reversals, and associated
fees, and to add funds immediately if Circulus notifies you that your funds are insufficient.
Circulus may, in its discretion, contact a Customer’s Vendors regarding any payments
to be made, or payments made, by the Customer for any reason.
Circulus reserves the right to suspend or cancel any payments if the Customer’s Circulus
account is not in good standing. Circulus will credit back to the Payment Account
any debits made to fund canceled payments; provided, however, the Originator hereby
authorizes Circulus, in its sole discretion, to withhold and collect from such amounts
any service fees or other amounts owed to Circulus under this Agreement.
Circulus reserves the right to make use of third parties to provide the Bill Payment
Service. Circulus may, in its discretion, impose limits on the amount of money sent
through the Bill Payment Service and may change those limits from time to time without
notice to you. These limits may apply per transaction; per Customer or Vendor; or
on a cumulative basis to any of the foregoing.
In recognition that banks do not make funds available immediately upon check deposit,
and credit card processors do not make funds available immediately to merchants
on the transaction date, each Customer agrees that as between it and its respective
Vendors, that payments via the ACH will be deemed to have been received on the payment
date selected by the Vendor for the purposes of determining whether the Vendor has
made timely payment of an Invoice.
2.5.3. PROHIBITED PAYMENTS.
Circulus may refuse to issue a payment to any Vendor in its reasonable discretion.
The Bill Payment Service is not intended for payment of alimony, child support,
taxes or other court-directed or government payments, fines or penalties, payments
to settle securities transactions or payment in connection with gambling, fraudulent
or illegal activities. Circulus will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide
notice promptly if it refuses to issue a payment. This notification is not required
if an attempt is made to make a payment that is prohibited by law or the Agreement.
2.5.4. PAYMENT REVIEW.
Circulus reviews all payments for risk and for compliance with law, including without
limitation anti-money laundering laws and regulations issued by the Office of Foreign
Asset Control ("Payment Review"). In its discretion, Circulus may place a hold on
a payment for as long as reasonably required to conduct an appropriate inquiry regarding
the Customer, Vendor, Statements, Additional Documents, invoices, payment history,
and other relevant circumstances and factors. Depending on the results of this review,
Circulus may clear the payment, reverse the payment, or hold the payment pending
instructions from a government agency. At any time, a payment processed through
your Payment Account may be reversed.
2.5.5. TAXES.
It is the Customer’s responsibility to determine what, if any, taxes apply to all
payments made through the Web Site, and to collect, report and remit the correct
tax to the appropriate tax authority. Circulus is not responsible for determining
whether taxes apply to these payments, or for collecting, reporting or remitting
any taxes arising from any payments.

the Fees from time to time, in its sole discretion. Circulus will post the revised

of such changes ("Fee Modification Date"). If the change in Fees is not acceptable,

after written demand. Interest shall accrue on past due amounts at the rate of one
and one half percent (1.5%) per month, but in no event greater than the highest

matter and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements or understandings,
written or oral, concerning such subject matter. The headings in the Agreement are
for convenience of reference only and have no legal effect. You may not assign or
transfer the Agreement, in whole or in part, without Circulus’ written consent. Any
attempted assignment or transfer in violation of this Section 3.14 will be null
and void. Circulus may assign its rights or delegate its obligations hereunder without
