Xenia Cloud Terms
These Terms govern use of the Xenia platform and become binding only when incorporated by an executed Cover Page or Order Form.
1. The Agreement.
The Xenia by Yo-Do Software Corp. Cloud Service Terms govern Merchant's use of the Xenia cloud-based platform (the “Cloud Service”). Customer and Provider agree to these terms by executing a Cover Page that specifies Key Terms, Attachments, and any Additional Terms. Collectively, these terms, the Cover Page, and any Orders form the parties' agreement (“Agreement”). In case of conflicts, Section 20(e) (Order of Precedence) governs. Capitalized terms are defined in context or in Section 21 (Definitions).
2. Cloud Service.
Subject to this Agreement, Merchant may use the Cloud Service for its own business purposes during each Subscription Term (“Permitted Use”). The Cloud Service enables Merchant to be discovered by visitors and residents, accept reservations and payments, sell gift cards, and manage transactions through a single integrated platform. Provider reserves the right to update or enhance the Cloud Service from time to time, provided that no modification will materially decrease overall functionality during a Subscription Term without thirty (30) days prior written notice to Merchant.
3. Fees and Revenue Model.
a. Launch Partner Terms. Merchants designated as Launch Partners on the applicable Cover Page will not be charged any platform, subscription, or transaction fees during the term of this Agreement. This no-cost structure is a launch-specific benefit applicable to merchants identified as Launch Partners on the Cover Page.
b. Customer-Side Platform Fees. Customers using the Cloud Service will pay a 5% platform fee on Transactions. This fee is charged to and paid by the customer and is not deducted from amounts owed to Merchant.
c. Gift Card Program. When a customer purchases a gift card through the Cloud Service, the customer pays a fee of 5% plus $1.00. When a gift card is redeemed at Merchant's business, Merchant receives the full-face value with no processing fee deducted. Gift card redemptions are settled in the same manner as other Transactions under Section 5.
d. Future Features. Provider may develop additional platform features beyond those described in this Agreement, including but not limited to active waitlists, in-application advertising tools, and advanced AI-powered features (collectively, “Additional Features”). Additional Features will be offered to Merchant under a separate addendum to this Agreement, which will specify the applicable terms, pricing, and any modifications to the fee structure set forth herein. Merchant's use of any Additional Feature is conditioned on execution of the applicable addendum. Nothing in this Agreement obligates Provider to develop any Additional Feature or obligates Merchant to adopt one.
e. Standard and Future Fee Structures. Provider reserves the right to introduce or modify fee structures applicable to Merchants not operating under Launch Partner Terms, as set forth on the Cover Page or upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Merchant.
f. Payment. Where fees are payable by Merchant under this Agreement or any addendum hereto, Merchant authorizes Provider to bill and charge Merchant's payment method on file for immediate payment. Late payments are subject to a charge of 1.5% per month or the maximum amount allowed by Law, whichever is less. All fees are non-refundable except as expressly set out in this Agreement.
g. Taxes. Merchant is responsible for any sales, use, GST, value-added, withholding, or similar taxes or levies that apply to its Orders, whether domestic or foreign (“Taxes”), other than Provider's income tax. Fees are exclusive of Taxes.
h. Payment Disputes. If Merchant disputes an invoice in good faith, it will notify Provider within fifteen (15) business days, and the parties will seek to resolve the dispute over a fifteen (15)-day discussion period. Merchant is not required to pay disputed amounts during the discussion period but will timely pay all undisputed amounts. After the discussion period, either party may pursue available remedies.
4. Term and Renewal.
a. Initial Subscription Term. Each Subscription Term will last for an initial twelve (12)-month period unless the Cover Page states otherwise.
b. Renewal. Following the Initial Subscription Term, this Agreement will automatically renew on a month-to-month basis unless either party provides written notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-current term.
c. Term of Agreement. This Agreement starts on the Effective Date and continues until the end of all Subscription Terms, unless sooner terminated in accordance with its terms.
5. Transaction Settlement.
a. Payment Processing. Payment acceptance and settlement of Normal Transactions are provided through Stripe, Inc. (“Stripe”) using Stripe Connect. To receive settlement of Normal Transactions, Merchant must create or connect a Stripe account and enter into and remain in good standing under Stripe's Connected Account Agreement and other applicable Stripe terms (collectively, the “Stripe Terms”). Merchant's use of Stripe is governed by the Stripe Terms, which are between Merchant and Stripe and not part of this Agreement. Merchant is responsible for complying with the Stripe Terms, including Stripe's identity verification, prohibited-business, and risk requirements. Settlement timing, holds, reserves, and account actions for Normal Transactions are controlled by Stripe and are subject to the Stripe Terms; any such timing, hold, reserve, or action imposed by Stripe is outside Provider's control and does not constitute a breach of Provider's settlement obligations under this Agreement. Provider is not liable for the acts, omissions, availability, or account decisions of Stripe.
b. Normal Transactions. Provider will settle amounts owed to Merchant from normal Transactions (excluding gift card redemptions) through Stripe or another payment processor on a schedule consistent with standard industry practices (typically daily or next-business-day settlement, subject to the payment processor's terms and any applicable holds or reserves).
c. Gift Card Redemptions. Gift card redemptions will be settled separately with Merchant via ACH on the following schedule:
i. Every Tuesday: for Transactions occurring from 12:00 AM Friday through 11:59 PM Monday; and
ii. Every Friday: for Transactions occurring from 12:00 AM Tuesday through 11:59 PM Thursday.
d. Transaction Summary. Provider will provide Merchant with a weekly transaction summary itemizing all Transactions settled during the applicable period.
e. Settlement Disputes. Merchant must notify Provider in writing within fifteen (15) business days of receipt of a transaction summary if Merchant believes a settlement amount is incorrect. Provider will investigate and respond within five (5) business days of receiving a dispute notice. Settlement amounts not disputed within fifteen (15) business days shall be deemed accepted.
6. Chargebacks and Fraud.
a. Merchant Liability. Merchant bears full liability for all chargebacks, reversals, and customer disputes with respect to Transactions processed through the Cloud Service on Merchant's behalf. If a chargeback is assessed, Provider may deduct the chargeback amount plus any associated network processing fees from Merchant's next scheduled settlement.
b. Chargeback Notice. Provider will notify Merchant of any chargeback within three (3) business days of Provider's receipt of notice from the applicable payment processor. Merchant will cooperate fully with Provider in any chargeback dispute process, including providing documentation of the underlying Transaction.
c. Fraud Prevention. Merchant agrees to implement reasonable measures to prevent fraudulent Transactions. Provider reserves the right to suspend processing for Merchant's account if Provider reasonably determines that Merchant's account presents an elevated fraud or chargeback risk, pending investigation and resolution.
7. Support and SLA.
a. Support. Provider will provide support for the Cloud Service on a twenty-four (24) hour, seven (7) day per week basis. Provider will respond to critical support requests (platform unavailability or transaction processing failures) within two (2) hours, and to general support requests within one (1) business day.
b. SLA. Provider will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Cloud Service available 99% of the time in each calendar month, excluding scheduled maintenance and downtime caused by Force Majeure Events or circumstances outside Provider's reasonable control.
c. Scheduled Maintenance. Provider will provide at least forty-eight (48) hours advance notice of scheduled maintenance reasonably expected to result in Cloud Service unavailability and will use commercially reasonable efforts to schedule maintenance during off-peak hours.
8. Warranties.
a. Mutual Warranties. Each party represents and warrants that:
i. it has the legal power and authority to enter into this Agreement; and
ii. it will use industry-standard measures to avoid introducing Viruses into the Cloud Service.
b. Additional Provider Warranties. Provider warrants that:
i. the Cloud Service will perform materially as described in the Documentation and Provider will not materially decrease the overall functionality of the Cloud Service during a Subscription Term (the “Performance Warranty”); and
ii. any Professional Services will be provided in a professional and workmanlike manner (the “Professional Services Warranty”).
c. Warranty Remedy. Provider will use reasonable efforts to correct a verified breach of the Performance Warranty or Professional Services Warranty reported by Merchant. If Provider fails to do so within thirty (30) days after Merchant's warranty report (“Fix Period”), either party may terminate the affected Order, and Provider will refund any pre-paid, unused fees for the terminated portion of the Subscription Term. Merchant must report a breach within thirty (30) days of discovering the issue (“Claim Period”). These procedures are Merchant's exclusive remedies and Provider's sole liability for breach of either warranty.
d. Disclaimers. Except as expressly set out in this Agreement, each party disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory or otherwise, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and noninfringement. These disclaimers apply to the full extent permitted by Law.

b. Termination for Cause. Either party may terminate this Agreement (including all Subscription Terms) if the other party (i) fails to cure a material breach within thirty (30) days after written notice, (ii) ceases operation without a successor, or (iii) seeks protection under bankruptcy, receivership, or comparable proceeding, or such a proceeding is instituted against that party and not dismissed within sixty (60) days.
