14. Grafterr Payments Powered by Stripe

14.1. Grafterr has partnered with Stripe to provide a Payment Processing service called “Grafterr Pay”. It is important to note that Grafterr is not a payment service provider but merely integrates Stripe's payment processing tools. For the avoidance of confusion, Grafterr is not regulated by the FCA as a payment service provider. This Section applies only to Users who have signed up for this payment processing.

14.2. To accept payments using the App, the User is required to apply for a registration with Stripe. The User may be asked to provide certain documents, including, but not limited to, identity documents, business registration documents and address proof. If the User (irrespective of whether the User is a business or an individual) is rejected by Stripe to accept the payments, the User will not be able to use our App. Grafterr has no control over Stripe’s selection process.

14.3. Grafterr shall charge the User a Merchant Fee for each payment processed through the Platform based on a pre-agreed fixed percentage. The Merchant Fee percentages payable to Grafterr and the money settlement frequency shall be communicated to the User during the sales/registration process or the Quotation process.

14.4.Grafterr provides a “Payment Dashboard” for Users, showing basic transaction information for easy navigation and visibility of payments processed. For detailed reporting and further payment information, Users should log into their Stripe Merchant Account directly at https://stripe.com/gb .

14.5. Each transaction will be settled directly into the User’s Stripe Merchant Account after deducting any Merchant Fees and any Platform Fees. Grafterr does not have access to the funds in the User’s Stripe Merchant Account.

14.6. The User may choose to refund a transaction(s) after processing the payment. Regardless of whether a payment is refunded, the User is still required to pay the full Merchant Fees for the refunded transactions. Merchant fees are non-refundable in any circumstances.

14.7. The User may be required to pass Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks at any time and must comply with all AML laws and regulations. Non-compliance constitutes a breach of this Agreement and may lead to immediate termination of this Agreement as per Section 30.6.6.

14.8. Payment Processing can only be activated when Users enter their login credentials (merchant key) onto the POS terminal and/or Grafterr Admin control panel.

14.9. Payouts are processed via an automated Faster Payment System to the User’s default bank account.

• 14.9.1. Users are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the bank account details provided for payouts. If the User enters incorrect bank details and funds are sent to the wrong bank account, Grafterr will not be liable for the User’s error or for reimbursing the User for the lost funds. Grafterr shall endeavour to assist the User in requesting a recall of the transfer via Stripe. However, Grafterr cannot guarantee the success of the recall or the recovery of the funds.
• 14.9.2. Users must ensure their bank account accepts third-party transfers. Grafterr is not liable for any delays in receiving payouts if the User’s bank does not accept third-party transfers. Grafterr shall endeavour to assist the User with successful processing of the payout once the reversed or failed payout transfer funds are received by Stripe. Please note that this is entirely dependent on the banks’ processing times, with a minimum of seven (7) working days or up to three (3) calendar months.
• 14.9.3. Grafterr is not responsible for any issues with the payment gateway, including but not limited to, fraudulent transactions and bank chargebacks.

14.10. Users should familiarise themselves with Stripe’s processes and fees related to disputes and fraud, and best practices and guidance on identifying potential fraud. More information is available at https://stripe.com/docs/disputes#managing-and-preventing-disputes

14.10.1. A dispute (also known as a chargeback) occurs when a cardholder questions a payment with their card issuer. The card issuer creates a formal dispute which immediately reverses the payment. The payment amount, along with a separate £15.00 dispute fee, is then deducted from the Merchant’s account balance. The dispute fee amount is subject to change at Stripe’s discretion. Grafterr is not responsible for communicating any changes to the dispute fee amount to the User.

14.10.2. The User has full responsibility and liability for all payment disputes. To resolve disputes, Users should provide necessary evidence through their Payment Dashboard. Stripe conveys your evidence to their financial partners, who then pass your evidence to the card issuers if deemed sufficient. If the User does not submit evidence by the deadline, the cardholder wins the dispute and retains the funds.

14.10.3. All costs incurred during the dispute resolution process shall be borne by the User. The User shall indemnify the Company against any payment disputes and costs incurred during the dispute settlement process. The User acknowledges and agrees that using any form of Payment Processing is at the User’s own risk.

14.11. If Grafterr's partnership with Stripe is terminated, Users must switch to another integrated provider to continue using Grafterr Payments for online ordering, contactless table ordering, self-checkout ordering, etc. Grafterr will inform Users in advance and provide details of the new payment service provider. Users can review the new terms and conditions and decide whether to switch to the new payment service provider or cancel any Grafterr services. Grafterr will endeavour to ensure a smooth transition.

15. Grafterr Payments with Other Third-Party Payment Service Providers

15.1. The Company’s Software supports Payment Processing with certain third-party partners (payment service providers) approved by Grafterr, including WorldPay, EVO, PaymentSense, and Sumup.

15.2. Should the User wish to use online ordering, and/or contactless table ordering, and/or self-checkout ordering systems provided by Grafterr, the User must choose one payment service provider from the list of Grafterr approved partners. The User should take into consideration the cost, flexibility, and speed offered by each payment service provider before deciding which payment service provider will be best suited to the User’s business.

The User can request the Company to provide a list of all integrated payment service providers at any time.

15.3. Company payment processing partners may change from time to time or withdraw integration with or without prior notice. In such cases, the customer shall need to switch to another integrated provider to continue using Grafterr Payments for online ordering, and/or contactless table ordering, and/or self-checkout ordering, etc.

15.4. Payment Processing can only be activated when the User enters their login credentials (merchant key) onto the POS terminal.

The Customer Support Team, which includes the Technical Support Team, is operational on a 24/7 basis.

The Company shall endeavour to minimise the effect of any such disruption onto the Customer Support Team operations.

16.2. The Company uses an internal ticketing system across all support channels. Data collected via the ticketing system shall be used solely for ticket prioritisation and the production of internal management and improvement reports. Any data used for internal reports shall be anonymised. No data shall be distributed to any third party without the User’s prior consent.

16.3. The customer support channels available to the User shall be dependent upon the User’s subscription level.

16.4. The User shall receive technical support in case of any issues with the Company’s software and or hardware within 24 hours of sending a request through telephone or email at support@grafterr.com.

In the rare event that the Technical Support Team encounters a new issue not previously addressed, the Company will strive to keep the User informed about the expected timeframe for resolution and minimise any disruption to the functionality of the Services.

16.5. Telephone technical support (+44 131 564 1559) is available to the User in line with the User’s subscription specifications.

16.6. Remote training on the use of Cloud Services can be arranged upon the User's request, subject to reasonable timeframes and the availability of Company engineers. Repeat training sessions may incur an additional cost to the User. Any associated costs and the payment process will be communicated to the User in advance.

16.7.2. If troubleshooting requires additional time for resolution, the User will have the option to proceed with the troubleshooting at a more convenient time.

17. Third-Party Licensing, Tools, and Integrations

17.1. The Software is developed using a variety of programming languages and tools, including iOS, Android, PHP, Python, Flutter, Angular, HTML, MySQL, JavaScript, eJabber, CSS, and others. Currently, these tools are licence-free, and thus no software licence is required for Users. However, if any third-party software utilised within the Software transitions to a paid model, the User will be responsible for subscribing to it or paying additional fees to the Company to cover the necessary licence fees.

17.2. The Company has integrated the Google Maps API for address lookup functionality, allowing Users to find addresses using a postcode. This feature is useful for tasks such as taking orders, registering customers, and managing loyalty programs. The Company has no control over the accuracy of these address records and thus holds no responsibility or liability for any inaccuracies. The Company provides the User with one thousand (1,000) address lookups free of charge every month. Any additional address lookups will incur an extra charge, as specified in the User’s subscription level or Quotation, and will be added to the following month’s subscription charges.

17.3. To enhance the Software usage, the company has integrated third-party tools such as Deliveroo, Deliverect, MailChimp, Message Bird, SendGrid, Twilio, Xero, and many others. If the User wishes to use services from any integrated third-party tools, they must subscribe to these services directly from the respective providers.
