2. Appointment as Reseller
2.1 You appoint Bags App as your non‑exclusive reseller of the Product across all territories supported by Bags App from time to time during the term of this Agreement. You acknowledge that Bags App acts as your Merchant of Record, meaning Bags App is the legal seller of the Product to Buyers. Simultaneously with the initiation of a transaction via the checkout interface, title to the Product automatically transfers from the Supplier to Bags App, and instantly thereafter from Bags App to the Buyer. Such transfer is conditional upon and effective at the exact timestamp of: (a) for traditional fiat card payments, successful authorization and processing of the transaction by the applicable payment card network or banking institution; or (b) for digital asset payments, successful execution, cryptographic validation, and network finality of the underlying transaction on the applicable Blockchain Network. 2.2 You acknowledge and agree that wherever Bags App is the seller of the Product to the Buyer, you shall not issue any invoice or make any demand for payment directly to any Buyer in connection with a Transaction. All customer‑facing invoices shall be issued in Bags App’s name. You shall not hold yourself out as the payment facilitator or merchant of record with respect to any Transaction. 2.3 Legal title to the Product passes from Supplier to Bags App immediately contingent upon successful cryptographic confirmation and block finality of the transaction on the underlying ledger. Supplier unconditionally acknowledges that Bags App acts as the principal vendor to the end Buyer. Supplier’s sole legal recourse is against Bags App for the Supplier Fee, and the end Buyer holds no contractual privity with the Supplier regarding the payment lifecycle. Supplier hereby appoints Bags App as its exclusive agent for the limited purpose of receiving payments on its behalf. Receipt of funds by Bags App from a Buyer shall satisfy the Buyer’s payment obligation to the Supplier immediately upon receipt, regardless of any subsequent settlement timeframe between Bags App and the Supplier. Bags App does not take physical or permanent possession of the Product and does not purchase Products in bulk at wholesale. 2.4 Nothing in this Agreement creates an obligation for Bags App to sell across all territories. Bags App reserves the right to decline to resell the Product in any jurisdiction for any reason, including regulatory, compliance, or risk‑related reasons.

Any billing dispute originating from an unverified or malfunctioning agent execution flow shall be settled solely between the Supplier and the end‑buyer; Bags App’s right to retain its transaction margin remains absolute, and settlement to the Supplier is strictly conditional upon verified on‑chain finality and full non‑custodial wallet clearance from the initiating wallet.
3.2 In providing the Services, Bags App may contract with third‑party service providers, including but not limited to Payment Service Providers, tax compliance platforms, identity verification providers, blockchain analytics providers, and cloud infrastructure providers. The Supplier agrees that the Services may be subject to terms and conditions prescribed by such third parties. 3.3 Bags App reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Services at any time, with reasonable notice to the Supplier where practicable.

- Clear Disclosure: All material terms of the subscription, including the recurring charge amount, billing frequency, and duration, must be clearly and conspicuously disclosed to the Buyer before the Buyer provides payment information.
- Express Informed Consent: The Buyer must provide express informed consent to the subscription terms before being charged. Pre‑checked boxes, buried terms, or implied consent do not constitute express informed consent.
- Simple Cancellation: You must provide Buyers with a simple mechanism to cancel their subscription and prevent future recurring charges. This mechanism must be at least as easy to use as the mechanism by which the Buyer originally subscribed.
- EU Consumer Rights: For Buyers located in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, you must comply with the 14‑day withdrawal right under the EU Consumer Rights Directive (Directive 2011/83/EU), including providing a model withdrawal form and honoring withdrawal requests within the applicable period.

Bags App covenants that the hosted checkout interface it provides to the Supplier will display all recurring billing terms and subscription disclosures clearly and conspicuously prior to payment, in compliance with the Restore Online Shoppers’ Confidence Act (ROSCA) and applicable state laws. The Supplier remains responsible for providing accurate pricing structures, frequency parameters, and honoring cancelation or withdrawal requests submitted by Buyers.
5. Due Diligence, KYB, and Onboarding
5.1 Bags App conducts Know Your Business (KYB) verification on all Suppliers as part of the onboarding process and on an ongoing basis during the term of this Agreement. This may include verification of business registration, beneficial ownership, identity of principals, sanctions and PEP screening, and financial health assessment. 5.2 Bags App uses third‑party identity verification providers, currently including Persona and Digit, to conduct KYB checks. You authorize Bags App to share your business information with these providers for verification purposes. 5.3 Bags App reserves the right to request additional information or documentation at any time during the term of this Agreement, including but not limited to financial statements, tax identification numbers, proof of address, bank account verification, and wallet ownership verification. 5.4 If you fail to provide requested information within the timeframe specified by Bags App, we reserve the right to suspend the provision of Services, withhold settlement payments, and/or terminate this Agreement. 5.5 Bags App reserves the right to decline onboarding, suspend, or terminate any Supplier that does not meet our risk, compliance, or due diligence standards, or that falls within a prohibited or restricted category under the Merchant Acceptance Policy. 5.6 Supplier explicitly represents and warrants that neither it, nor any controlling entity, affiliate, or principal associated with its business, is currently or has ever been: (a) suspended or terminated by a payment service provider, acquirer, card scheme, or financial institution due to fraud, high chargebacks, or deceptive practices; (b) placed on the Mastercard MATCH list, Visa terminated merchant file (TMF), or any equivalent industry blocklist; or (c) subject to enforcement action by any regulatory agency or body involving consumer fraud or deceptive trade practices within the prior ten (10) years.
6. Fees and Pricing
6.1 Bags App Discount. For each Transaction, Bags App shall deduct the Bags App Discount from the SRP before paying the Supplier Fee. The Bags App Discount is calculated as follows:
- Stablecoin Payments (USDC): 1.5% of the SRP per Transaction.
- Card Payments: 4% of the SRP plus USD $0.40 per Transaction.
6.2 Supplier Fee. For each Transaction, Bags App shall pay the Supplier the SRP after deducting: (a) any applicable Sales Tax; (b) the Bags App Discount; (c) any Reserve amounts as described in Clause 7; and (d) any other charges payable by the Supplier under this Agreement. The resulting amount is the Supplier Fee. 6.3 Sales Tax. Bags App, as the Merchant of Record, is responsible for collecting, reporting, and remitting all applicable Sales Tax on Transactions. The Supplier Fee shall equal the SRP minus: (i) any and all Sales Tax due, incurred, or assessed globally; (ii) the Bags App Discount; and (iii) any Reserve or other outstanding platform liabilities. Bags App reserves the right to retroactively deduct any uncollected tax assessments levied by any global tax authority from any subsequent Supplier settlement, provided that such assessment results directly from the Supplier’s breach of warranty under Clause 4.2 or the submission of false, inaccurate, or incomplete Product technical specifications. 6.4 Pricing Authority. As a Merchant of Record and reseller, Bags App reserves the right to set the final price at which the Product is offered for sale to Buyers, including the application of Sales Tax. The Supplier sets the SRP, which serves as the base price before tax. 6.5 Currency Conversion. If a Transaction requires currency conversion, Bags App will convert the amount at the prevailing mid‑market rate at the time the payment is received from the Buyer, less any applicable conversion fees. Conversion fees, if any, will be disclosed in the Supplier Dashboard. 6.6 Fee Changes. Bags App reserves the right to modify the Bags App Discount with thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Supplier. Continued use of the Services after the effective date of any fee change constitutes acceptance of the revised fees.
7. Settlement, Payouts, and Reserves
7.1 Settlement Cycle
Bags App will settle the Supplier Fee to the Supplier within fifteen (15) business days following the date of each Transaction, subject to successful completion of the Transaction, clearance of all applicable compliance checks, and, for card payments, final settlement from the Payment Service Provider (which may take up to fifteen (15) business days). For Stablecoin transactions, settlement is conditioned upon final confirmation of the payment on the applicable Blockchain Network and the settlement is done within fifteen (15) business days
7.2 Payment Currency
The Supplier may elect to receive settlement payouts in:
- Fiat currency: USD or other supported fiat currencies, settled via bank transfer to the bank account registered in the Supplier Account.
- Stablecoin (USDC): Settled to the wallet address registered in the Supplier Account, on a Blockchain Network selected by the Supplier.
The Payment Currency may be changed by the Supplier through the Supplier Dashboard. Changes take effect for Transactions occurring after the change is confirmed.
7.3 Settlement Invoice
At the end of each settlement cycle, Bags App will provide the Supplier with a consolidated settlement invoice showing gross revenue, Bags App Discount deductions, Sales Tax collected and remitted, Reserve withholdings, and the net Supplier Fee paid. Settlement invoices are denominated in the Payment Currency. For Stablecoin payouts, the invoice will show both the USDC amount and the fiat equivalent at the time of conversion.
7.4 Reserve
Bags App reserves the right to withhold a percentage of each settlement payout as a Reserve to cover potential refunds, chargebacks, fraud, disputes, and other liabilities arising from the Supplier’s Transactions. The Reserve percentage will be determined based on the Supplier’s risk profile, transaction volume, chargeback history, and product category, and will be communicated to the Supplier via the Supplier Dashboard or in writing. Bags App will review the Reserve percentage periodically and may adjust it based on changes to the Supplier’s risk profile. Funds held in Reserve will be released to the Supplier after the applicable holding period, provided no outstanding liabilities exist. In the event of termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason: (a) Settlement reserves and subsequent Supplier Fees related to traditional card Transactions shall be retained for a minimum of one hundred and eighty (180) days following the date of the last completed Transaction to cover potential chargebacks; and (b) Settlement reserves and subsequent Supplier Fees related to Stablecoin Transactions shall be released to the Supplier within fifteen (15) business days following the date of the last completed Transaction, subject to final network clearance and the absence of any active Buyer disputes.
7.5 Payout Fees
Payout fees may apply depending on the Supplier’s location and chosen payout method. For fiat payouts, standard bank transfer fees apply. For Stablecoin payouts, network‑specific transaction fees (gas fees) apply. Payout fees are disclosed in the Supplier Dashboard and are deducted from the Supplier Fee. 7.6 Set‑Off Without prejudice to any other rights or remedies, the Supplier authorizes Bags App to set off any amounts owed by the Supplier to Bags App under this Agreement against any funds due to the Supplier, including but not limited to liabilities for refunds, chargebacks, fines for non‑compliance with Payment Scheme Rules, fraudulent or illegal use of the Services, and any other liabilities under this Agreement. This right of set‑off survives termination of this Agreement.
7.7 Account Dormancy Charges. If a Supplier Account exhibits zero transaction volume for twelve (12) consecutive months, Bags App reserves the right to assess a reasonable monthly administrative maintenance charge of USD 15.00 against any accrued but unpaid Supplier Fees, provided that: (a) Bags App has delivered at least sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to the email address registered to the Supplier Account, and (b) such charges shall never exceed the positive balance of the account, nor result in a negative balance or debit obligation on the part of the Supplier to offset ongoing platform custody costs, subject to applicable state escheatment and unclaimed property laws.
8. Stablecoin Payment Terms
8.1 Supported Assets and Networks. Bags App accepts USDC as the sole supported Stablecoin. Supported Blockchain Networks are Ethereum (ERC‑20), Polygon, Solana, and Base. Bags App reserves the right to add or remove supported assets and networks at any time with reasonable notice. 8.2 KYT Screening. All Stablecoin payments are subject to KYT (Know Your Transaction) screening, including real‑time AML checks, sanctions list screening (OFAC, EU, UN, and other applicable authorities), and risk scoring. Bags App may reject, hold, or return any payment that fails such screening. 8.3 FATF Travel Rule Compliance. Bags App maintains a Travel Rule compliance program in accordance with FATF Recommendation 16 and applicable national implementations. For qualifying Stablecoin transfers where the aggregate value exceeds the applicable threshold (currently USD $1,000 or the equivalent in USDC), Bags App will collect, verify, and securely transmit originator and beneficiary information as required. Where the Buyer’s payment originates from a regulated Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP), Bags App will transmit and receive Travel Rule data using industry‑standard messaging protocols. The Supplier acknowledges and consents to this data collection and transmission, and agrees to provide any required information for originator records when it acts as the Buyer of Services. For all qualifying transactions exceeding the statutory threshold of USD 1,000 (or stablecoin equivalent), execution of the payment rail is programmatically hard‑blocked. Settlement shall not initiate until verified originator and beneficiary data fields are injected, validated via Bags App’s KYT protocol engines, and permanently bound to the transaction metadata. 8.4 Blockchain Immutability. The Supplier acknowledges that Stablecoin transactions are recorded on public, immutable blockchain ledgers. Transaction hashes, wallet addresses, and payment amounts are permanently visible on the applicable Blockchain Network and cannot be deleted or modified by Bags App. 8.5 Irreversibility. Stablecoin transactions on blockchain networks are inherently irreversible. Unlike card payments, there is no chargeback mechanism for Stablecoin payments. However, if a Buyer disputes a Stablecoin transaction (for example, claiming non‑delivery or unauthorized payment), Bags App will investigate and determine the appropriate resolution in accordance with its dispute resolution procedures. 8.6 Stablecoin Settlement. If the Supplier elects to receive payouts in USDC, funds will be transferred to the wallet address registered in the Supplier Account on the Blockchain Network selected by the Supplier. The Supplier is solely responsible for providing a correct and valid wallet address. Bags App is not liable for any loss of funds resulting from an incorrect wallet address provided by the Supplier. 8.7 Autonomous Agent Operational Liability. Supplier explicitly assumes all operational and financial risk regarding transaction streams initiated by autonomous software entities or via the x402 protocol. Bags App shall maintain zero liability for transaction volume generated by rogue algorithms, software recursion loops, or unauthorized agent behaviors, provided that Bags App has successfully implemented and kept active its platform‑level rate‑limiting and circuit‑breaking protocols. In the event of a documented software execution glitch where the Supplier has activated Bags App’s recommended circuit‑breaker features, Bags App and the Supplier agree to split the operational transaction fees (the Bags App Discount) 50/50 for all excess transaction volume.
9. Sales Tax and Tax Reporting
9.1 Bags App, as the Merchant of Record and reseller of the Product, is responsible for all Sales Tax collection, calculation, reporting, and remittance in supported jurisdictions. This includes VAT (EU, UK, and other regions), GST (Australia, New Zealand, India, Singapore, and others), US state and local sales tax, and other jurisdiction‑specific indirect taxes. 9.2 Bags App maintains tax registrations in supported jurisdictions and works with third‑party tax compliance providers to ensure accurate calculation and timely filing. Tax rates are calculated in real‑time based on the Buyer’s location, product type, and applicable local tax rules. 9.3 The Supplier is not required to register for Sales Tax in jurisdictions where Bags App acts as the Merchant of Record. The Supplier receives a consolidated settlement invoice from Bags App for accounting purposes. 9.4 If required by law, Bags App may withhold any applicable taxes, fees, or other amounts from the SRP or the Supplier Fee. 9.5 The Supplier shall provide Bags App with accurate tax identification information (including tax ID numbers, VAT registration numbers, and applicable W‑8 or W‑9 forms) and shall promptly notify Bags App of any changes to its tax status. 9.6 Bags App shall report payments made to Suppliers as required by applicable law, including IRS Form 1099‑K where applicable. The Supplier acknowledges that stablecoin payouts will be reported in USD equivalent at the time of settlement.
10. Customer Support, Refunds, and Disputes
10.1 First‑Tier Support Bags App provides first‑tier after‑sales support to Buyers, limited to invoicing inquiries, payment‑related questions, refund processing, chargeback management, and initial order‑delivery issues.
10.2 Supplier Support Obligations
The Supplier is responsible for providing all customer support beyond first‑tier support, including technical support, product‑related inquiries, service delivery issues, account access problems, and any other product‑specific assistance. The Supplier shall provide such support in accordance with applicable consumer protection laws in the jurisdictions where Buyers are located.
10.3 Refunds
Refunds may be issued by Bags App via the Supplier Dashboard or API. For card payments, refunds follow standard card network processing timelines (typically 5‑10 business days). For Stablecoin payments, refunds are returned to the Buyer’s original wallet address on the same Blockchain Network used for payment. The Supplier acknowledges that refund amounts will be deducted from future settlement payouts or the Reserve.
10.4 Chargebacks
Supplier shall remain fully liable to Bags App for the complete value of all Chargebacks, card network assessments, associated processing overhead, and an administrative fee of USD 25.00 per dispute or Pre‑Chargeback Alert notification, which shall be deducted directly from the Supplier Fee or the Reserve.
10.5 Dispute Resolution for Stablecoin Payments
Because blockchain transactions are irreversible, traditional chargeback mechanisms do not apply to Stablecoin payments. If a Buyer disputes a Stablecoin transaction, Bags App will investigate the dispute, request evidence from the Supplier, and determine the appropriate resolution, which may include a refund from Bags App reserves. The Supplier agrees to cooperate in good faith with any dispute investigation.
11. Intellectual Property and Licenses
11.1 The Supplier and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Product and all associated intellectual property rights. Bags App acquires no ownership rights in the Product except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. 11.2 The Supplier grants Bags App a non‑exclusive, non‑transferable, worldwide license during the term of this Agreement to: (a) resell and distribute the Product to Buyers; (b) use the Supplier’s trademarks, trade names, and logos solely for the purpose of providing the Services, including on the checkout page, invoices, and marketing materials; and (c) display Product descriptions, images, and pricing on the Website and Supplier Dashboard. 11.3 Bags App grants the Supplier a non‑exclusive, non‑transferable license during the term of this Agreement to access and use the Supplier Dashboard solely for the purpose of receiving the Services and performing the Supplier’s obligations under this Agreement. 11.4 Bags App shall not modify the Product, create derivative works thereof, reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Product.
12. Confidentiality
12.1 Each party acknowledges that it may receive Confidential Information from the other party in connection with this Agreement. The receiving party shall not use, disclose, or take advantage of such Confidential Information except as necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement. 12.2 The obligation of confidentiality does not apply to information that: (a) is or becomes publicly available through no fault of the receiving party; (b) was rightfully known to the receiving party prior to disclosure; (c) is independently developed by the receiving party without use of the Confidential Information; or (d) is required to be disclosed by law, regulation, or court order, provided that the receiving party gives prompt notice to the disclosing party where permitted. 12.3 The obligations of confidentiality survive termination of this Agreement for a period of three (3) years.
13. Data Protection and Privacy
13.1 Each party shall comply with all applicable Data Protection Legislation in connection with its performance under this Agreement. The parties explicitly acknowledge and agree that each party operates as an independent Data Controller (or its statutory equivalent under applicable law) with respect to the personal data processed under this Agreement. In the event of any actual or reasonably suspected unauthorized access, data leak, or security incident impacting data routing through the Services (a ’Security Incident’), the Supplier shall notify Bags App via email within seventy‑two (72) hours of discovery and fully cooperate with all downstream remediation efforts. 13.2 Bags App processes personal data of Buyers and Suppliers in accordance with its Privacy Policy, available at https://getbags.app/privacy. The Supplier acknowledges and agrees to the processing described therein. 13.3 Where the Supplier provides personal data to Bags App (including Buyer data necessary for order fulfillment), the Supplier represents and warrants that it has obtained all necessary consents and authorizations for such data sharing. 13.4 Bags App will maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, or destruction, including encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, and regular security assessments. 13.5 Where Bags App shares limited Buyer information with the Supplier for order fulfillment and customer support purposes, the Supplier shall process such information only for those purposes and in compliance with all applicable Data Protection Legislation. 13.6 International Data Transfers.
