These terms are broken down into 6 very simple parts. The 7th part and beyond is legal jargon. There is an ADA notice near the end of the document.
No matter what brand is using Smartr software, whether it is SmartrMarketing (an app where you can purchase this software for your business), Smartrify, our website builder, a SmartrHoldings company, or a vendor (brand or company white-labeling Smartr software for their business), Smartr software allows companies to easily setup ecommerce programs for their customers. No matter what brand you purchase from, as the chosen merchant services provider, you will receive a receipt from SmartrCommerce. SmartrCommerce can be accessed through any Smartr program or SmartrWallet.
Vendors are Smartr customers who are white-labeling/using Smartr software for their business(es), and/or they are using SmartrCommerce merchant/management software. Vendors get paid when a Payout is requested after they have earned $100 dollars, and each product or service sold has passed the 14-day refund/return policy that is put in place for all Smartr brands and Smartr vendors. This means there can be a delay of at least 2 weeks before your first payment from SmartrCommerce. A processing fee is attached to each transaction, and the price of that fee can change based on which Smartr product is being used, as well as any possible penalties to any vendors who abuse the system. Please read the FAQ in your Smartr product to better understand how our transaction fees work. Vendors will be responsible for their own taxes and will provide information to verify they can legally get paid. Any processing fees are subject to change without notice.
Promoters are users or customers who decide to share referral codes with other users or customers. When those customers make purchases with any Smartr brand or Smartr vendor, the sharer may be able to receive a percentage of income from those transactions as a reward for referring new customers to the participating brand. The amount shared per transaction is subject to change without notice and can vary from brand to brand, and any amount earned in any brand is independent of all other brands or transactions. A promoter is paid when a Payout is requested after they have earned $100 dollars, so long as those earnings from a purchase have passed the 14-day refund/return policy that is put in place for all Smartr brands and Smartr vendor purchases. After an initial payout of $100, you can request a payout anytime you have accumulated $25 in available funds which have passed the 14-day refund period. All of this information is available to view in your Smartr software.
In order to receive earnings, you will have to authorize SmartrCommerce to send you a Payout. Please look in your Smartr software to fill any forms needed to receive a Payout. If you are using SmartrWallet to consolidate your promoter earnings, all payments will now come through SmartrWallet rather than those individual dashboards. Promoters will be responsible for their own taxes and will provide information to verify they can legally get paid.
Customers can become promoters by registering for affiliate-based Smartr software, and sharing their own referral code with others. Earnings are independent of discounts or purchases. Each independent brand using Smartr software assigns its users with a unique referral code and network of users. This means, your earnings made in one brand do not reflect earnings made in another brand, and terms of payment for those earnings can vary by brand. You will also have separate referral codes for each brand. Please read the FAQ with any brand for questions about earnings qualifiers. Each brand will have a FAQ from both Smartr and any Smartr vendor using Smartr software. Promoters earning from more than one brand can use SmartrWallet to consolidate their earnings into one application.
Any and all brands using Smartr software have a maximum 14-day refund/return policy. This is because Smartr brands and vendors using the software are totally awesome, and deliver great value to their customers, which minimizes the needs for any returns. We also have an affiliate commission program in place that needs to run efficiently, so this return policy makes sure all customers, vendors, and promoters are happy with each transaction, and get paid on time.
Promoter earnings may be subject to adjustments for chargebacks or refunds. If a customer purchases a product or service after having used your referral code, and then later returns an item, your earnings amount will be adjusted for the amount of earnings initially paid for that purchase. These changes will be reflected in your wallet or dashboard.
Smartrify, SmartrCommerce, SmartrMarketing, SmartrHoldings, and any Smartr brand accept no responsibility for any commerce or business being conducted between vendor and customer.
Customers are urged to work directly with a Smartr vendor when requesting a return. If your Smartr vendor is not fulfilling your goals or needs, or if you suspect fraud, please notify us at info@thesmartrapp.com
Smartrify is a website builder that allows people to become vendors for a low monthly price, allowing them access to their own store, as well as the use of SmartrCommerce as their merchant partner. All vendors and customers are subject to the same terms and conditions and privacy policy of all companies under SmartrHoldings.
SmartrProperty and SmartrMinistry are examples of Multi-Vendor Marketplaces which follow under the same conditions and policies.
Smartrify and Multi-Vendor Marketplace vendors are paid the same way, and must use SmartrCommerce as its merchant partner. Please read any associated FAQ with any questions about earnings qualifiers. Each brand will have a FAQ from both Smartr and any Smartr vendor using Smartr software.
Smartr reserves the right to set its own refund/return policy, or to choose to not allow refunds of Smartr monthly subscription fees.

IF BUYING A SERVICE: From the moment the submit button is pressed, the app user (known throughout the document as The Buyer) is formally requesting and AGREES to be provided with the Services (defined below) by the brand using Smartr software, be it a SmartrHoldings company, a customer of SmartrCommerce or any Smartr brand, or a vendor that is white-labeling Smartr software. The Service Provider agrees to provide the Services to the Buyer on the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
The Service Provider shall provide the following services ("Services") to the Buyer in accordance with the terms of any product or service being sold. The Service Provider may decide to make available additional services; or subsequently discontinue providing any services at any time. Prices of all services are subject to change without notice.
The Service Provider shall commence the provision of the Services from the moment a purchase is made in accordance to the terms set within the particular product or service being sold.
As consideration for the provision of the Services by the Service Provider, the price for the provision of the Services shall be listed in the Service or product description. If there is a fixed term or price set upon a recurring payment or offer, the price shall remain fixed for the length of the term.
The vendor also understands there is a processing fee attached to each transaction, and the price of that fee can change based on which Smartr product is being used, as well as any possible penalties to any vendors who abuse the system. Please read the FAQ in your Smartr product to better understand how our transaction fees work. Transaction fees may change without notice.
The Buyer agrees to pay the purchase price; or monthly recurring purchase price (if applicable) to the Service Provider for a period defined in the purchase description; Any purchases NOT subject to monthly recurring payments SHALL NOT be made to pay them. Any purchases NOT subject to automatic renewal shall not be automatically renewed.
You are authorizing SmartrCommerce to be your merchant services provider, whether customer, vendor, or promoter, when accepting the terms of this agreement. By providing Smartr with a payment method, you represent that you are authorized to use the payment method that you provided and that any payment information you provide is true and accurate; you also authorize Smartr to charge you for The Services (any service sold through SmartrCommerce); and authorize SmartrCommerce to charge you for any paid feature of the Services that you choose to sign up for or use while these Terms are in force. We may bill you (a) in advance; (b) at the time of purchase; (c) shortly after purchase; or (d) on a recurring basis for subscription based or monthly recurring Services. Also, we may charge you up to the amount you have approved, and we will notify you in advance of any change in the amount to be charged for recurring billing/Services. We may bill you at the same time for more than one of your prior billing periods for amounts that haven't previously been processed.
When you purchase any of the Services on a monthly recurring/subscription basis (e.g., monthly, every 3 months, every 6 months, or annually (as applicable), you acknowledge and agree that you are authorizing recurring payments, and payments shall be made to SmartrCommerce by the method you have chosen at the recurring intervals chosen by your time of purchase, until the subscription for that Service is terminated by you, Smartr, or any vendor using Smartr software.
By authorizing recurring payments, you are authorizing Smartr to process such payments as either electronic debits or fund transfers, or as electronic drafts from your designated account (in the case of Automated Clearing House or similar payments), or as charges to your designated account (in the case of credit/debit card or similar payments) (collectively, "Electronic Payments"). Any subsequent fees are generally billed or charged in advance of the applicable recurring/subscription period. If any payment is returned unpaid or if any credit card or similar transaction is rejected or denied, Smartr or its service providers reserve the right to collect any applicable return item, rejection, or insufficient funds fee and to process any such payment as an Electronic Payment.
Automatic Renewal: Provided that automatic renewals are allowed in your state, we will inform you by email before automatically renewing your Services, unless purchased on a subscription basis. Once we have informed you that the Services will be automatically renewed, Smartr may automatically renew your Services and charge you the then current price for the renewal term. We will also remind you that we will bill your chosen payment method for the Services renewal, whether it was on file on the renewal date or provided later. We will also provide you with instructions on how you may cancel the Services. You must cancel the Services before the renewal date to avoid being billed for the renewal.
Any charges payable under this Agreement are exclusive of any applicable taxes, tariff surcharges or other like amounts assessed by any governmental entity arising as a result of the provision of the Services by the Service Provider to the Buyer under this Agreement and such shall be payable by the Buyer to the Service Provider in addition to all other charges payable hereunder.
The Service Provider agrees to grant to the Buyer a non-exclusive, irrevocable, royalty free license to use and modify any elements of the Material not specifically created for the Buyer as part of the Services in order to build their business, but none shall be abused. In respect of the Material specifically created for the Buyer as part of the Services, the Service Provider assigns the full title guarantee to the Buyer and any all of the copyright, other intellectual property rights, and any other data or material used or subsisting in the Material whether finished or unfinished. In respect to the material of the vendor or party using our software, we agree to jointly share the property placed on our platform for as long as it is on that platform, and may use elements of that property for internal or marketing use (example, your logo in an ad).
If any third party intellectual property rights are used in the Material, the Service Provider shall ensure that it has secured all necessary consents and approvals to use such third party intellectual property rights for the Service Provider and the Buyer. For the purposes of this clause, "Material" shall mean the materials, in whatever form, used by the Service Provider to provide the Services and the products, systems, programs or processes, in whatever form, produced by the Service Provider pursuant to this Agreement. All materials used, unless otherwise specified, are property of SmartrHoldings and shall remain property of The Service Provider if this agreement is terminated by either party.
When it comes to any customer data received through a Smartr product, Smartr and the Vendor make the decision to share that contact data jointly and the Vendor shall agree not to sell this data to 3rd parties.
If you use Smartr property, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password and for restricting access to your computer and phone, and you agree to accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account or password. You may not assign or otherwise transfer your account to any other person or entity.

To the extent it is lawful to exclude the following heads of loss and subject to the Buyer’s obligation to pay the Price, in no event shall either party be liable for any loss of profits, goodwill, loss of business, loss of data or any other indirect or consequential loss or damage whatsoever.
Nothing in this clause will serve to limit or exclude either Party’s liability for death or personal injury arising from its own negligence.

[For European Buyers and Service Providers only] If the Buyer is a consumer and the Distance Selling Directive (97/7/EC) (the "Directive") applies to this Agreement, the Buyer may terminate this Agreement within the relevant timescales prescribed by the regulations or laws in the relevant Member State which implement the requirements of the Directive in respect of a right for the Buyer to withdraw from a contract. In the event of termination in accordance with this Clause 2.4, the liability of the Buyer to the Service Provider shall be as prescribed in the Directive or in any regulations or laws implementing its requirements in the relevant Member States.
Any termination of this Agreement (howsoever occasioned) shall not affect any accrued rights or liabilities of either Party nor shall it affect the coming into force or the continuance in force of any provision hereof which is expressly or by implication intended to come into or continue in force on or after such termination. A request of termination of this agreement on the part of The Buyer does not rid The Buyer of their financial obligations to Smartr or any Smartr vendor until such agreement is approved by them.
The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Services performed by the Service Provider, its employees, agents or sub-contractors shall be as an independent contractor and that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a partnership, employment, joint venture, agency relationship, or otherwise between the parties.

Smartr was created to distribute money to people willing to work for it… not to make profits. The billions upon billions of dollars it hopes to make will be shared with its users, indefinitely. Any company competing against us is only doing it to make money for themselves, not to give money back to you. We encourage people using Smartr software to generate as many streams of income for themselves as possible. Promote apps, hustle and your side gigs, and make as much money as possible. We also have licensing programs available for those that would otherwise compete with us… a partnership sounds much better.
Only SmartrCommerce can and will determine if you have met the requirements to receive payouts. Our service, currently, is only providing payments declared here.
