Terms of Use
Intro
We (the folks at Coinhop) run an automated billing platform for anyone who collects monthly payments, and we would love for you to use it. We don't charge any monthly fees, and we only collect a small percentage from you when we've earned it (i.e. when we save you time by processing transactions automatically on behalf of you and your clients). Below are our Terms of Use.
These Terms and Conditions constitute an agreement (“Agreement”) between you (“you”, “your”, “user”, “Customer”, “Merchant”, or "Service Provider") and Coinhop, Inc (“Coinhop”, “us”, “we” or “our”) for automated billing services and any related products or services (“Service” or “Services”). This Agreement governs both the Services and any assigned account (“Account”) used in connection with the Services.
Any of the following actions constitute your agreement, without limitation or qualification, to be bound by, and to comply with, the terms of this Agreement: (i) your initialization or registration of the Services, through the Coinhop website (coinhopapp.com) or through any of the Coinhop subdomains (the Coinhop website and subdomains are collectively referred to herein as, the “Site”); or (ii) through the use of your Account and password; or (iii) your use of the Site; or (iv) your use of the App.
Term
The term of this Agreement begins on the date we activate Services for your Account. This Agreement will continue from month to month until terminated by either party pursuant to the terms hereof.
Order Acceptance Policy
Your submission of your order on the Site or receipt of an email confirmation signifies acceptance by Coinhop of your order and the provision of your Account. Coinhop may verify orders to prevent fraud. Should Coinhop suspect the placement of a fraudulent order (even after you have received an email confirmation of acceptance of your order and the provision of your Account), Coinhop may contact you by email or telephone regarding such suspected fraudulent order and, in Coinhop’s sole discretion, we may interrupt, restrict, or terminate your Account without notice to you.
Use of Services & Account
You represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years of age or the applicable age of majority in your geographic area, and that you possess the legal right and ability to enter into this Agreement. You agree not to use the Materials, Content, Services, and your Account for any unlawful or abusive purpose or in any way which interferes with our ability to provide Services to our customers, or which damages our property.
Certain pages on the Site, or access to the Services and/or your Account, may be accessed only by use of a password and log-in. You are solely responsible for all uses of the Site and/or the Services and/or your Account with your password. You should change your password once each month. If your Services or Accounts are fraudulently used, you agree to immediately notify Coinhop of such unauthorized use. We have the right to interrupt, restrict, or terminate Services to your Account, without notice to you, if we suspect fraudulent or abusive activity. You agree to cooperate with us in any fraud investigation and to use any fraud prevention measures we prescribe.
Email Communications from Coinhop to you
YOU AGREE THAT COINHOP MAY SEND EMAIL MESSAGES TO YOU FROM TIME TO TIME REGARDING PLANNED SERVICE DOWNTIME, NEW FEATURES, AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS THAT WE BELIEVE OUR USERS WILL WANT TO KNOW ABOUT.
YOU MAY OPT OUT OF RECEIVING THESE EMAILS BY CANCELLING YOUR COINHOP SERVICE.
No Warranties
THE MATERIALS, CONTENT, SERVICES, AND ACCOUNTS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS”. WE MAKE NO WARRANTIES REGARDING THE MATERIALS, CONTENT, SERVICES, AND ACCOUNTS WHATSOEVER AND DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR WARRANTIES ARISING BY COURSE OF DEALING OR CUSTOM OR TRADE. WE DO NOT AUTHORIZE ANYONE TO MAKE A WARRANTY OF ANY KIND ON OUR BEHALF AND YOU SHOULD NOT RELY ON ANY SUCH STATEMENT. THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL SURVIVE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties. In such jurisdictions, the foregoing disclaimers may not apply to you insofar as they relate to implied warranties. If you rely on the representations or warranties of any third parties with respect to the Services (including, without limitation, by dealers or resellers of the Services) beyond those made by Coinhop, your sole remedy for such reliance is against the third party making such representation or warranty.
Service Availability
We will make every available effort to keep Coinhop Services operational 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There will be periods of downtime for maintenance and upgrades, and sometimes, for reasons that we did not plan. We will attempt to provide at least 24 hours of notice for scheduled maintenance or downtime, but some downtime may be unscheduled and beyond our control.
WE MAKE NO GUARANTEE AS TO UPTIME OR AVAILABILITY OF THE SERVICE.
Limitation of Liability
IN NO EVENT SHALL COINHOP, ITS PARENTS, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE MEMBERS, MANAGERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, STOCKHOLDERS, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DIRECT, COMPENSATORY, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF INFORMATION) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO (i) YOUR INABILITY TO USE THE MATERIALS, CONTENT, SERVICES OR ACCOUNTS; (ii) YOUR MISUSE OF THE MATERIALS, CONTENT, SERVICES OR ACCOUNTS; (iii) NONPERFORMANCE OR A FAILURE OF THE SERVICES CAUSED BY ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF ANOTHER SERVICE PROVIDER, (iv) EQUIPMENT OR SOFTWARE FAILURE OR MODIFICATION; (v) TELECOMMUNICATIONS OR COMPUTER EQUIPMENT FAILURES, OR (vi) ACTS OF GOD, OR OTHER CAUSES BEYOND OUR REASONABLE CONTROL. THE FOREGOING SHALL APPLY EVEN IF COINHOP HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

IN NO EVENT SHALL COINHOP, ITS PARENTS, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE MEMBERS, MANAGERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, STOCKHOLDERS, AGENTS AND ANY UNDERLYING CARRIER BE LIABLE FOR INJURIES TO PERSONS OR PROPERTY ARISING FROM USE OF THE SERVICES, OR ANY EQUIPMENT USED IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES.
IF, NOTWITHSTANDING THE OTHER TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, COINHOP SHOULD HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY LOSS, HARM OR DAMAGE, YOU AND COINHOP AGREE THAT IN NO EVENT SHALL LIABILITY OF COINHOP TO YOU FOR ANY REASON EXCEED OUR SERVICE CHARGES DURING THE AFFECTED PERIOD GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY.
YOU AND COINHOP AGREE THAT THIS SECTION OF THE AGREEMENT, “LIMITATION OF LIABILITY”, IS AN AGREED ALLOCATION OF RISK BETWEEN YOU AND COINHOP.

Coinhop Reliance on Third-Party Systems
All transactions are facilitated through Stripe, our third-party payment processing service. As such, by utilizing Coinhop Services to accept payments, you agree to the Stripe Connect Platform Agreement. We make no guarantees as to the availability of our third-party payment processing service and we are in no way responsible should our third-party payment processing service have an outage, downtime, or erroneous operation of their systems. Additionally, Coinhop may replace its third-party payment processing services without notice to you.
Coinhop is not a payment processor, merchant account provider, or payment gateway service. We are not responsible for any monies due to you related to transactions that have been processed through our third-party payment processing service, merchant account provider, or any payment processors that you utilize in connection with the Coinhop Services.
Coinhop does not store any credit card or bank account information from your customers. Instead, we pass credit card and bank account information to our third-party payment processing service, and they store it in their system. We are not responsible or liable for any problems that arise as a result of credit card or bank account information being misused after we have passed it to our third-party payment processing service for storage by them.
Additionally, Coinhop uses Google Maps API(s) to enable autocomplete functionality for all address input fields. Consequently, by utilizing Coinhop Services you are bound by Google's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

You agree that termination of this Agreement will not relieve you of any obligation to pay any accrued charges.
All sections which by their nature should survive the expiration or termination of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect subsequent to and notwithstanding the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
You shall be charged the full amount of the fee for the month in which the Services were terminated. There is no pro-rated refund or discount provided when an account is terminated.
