1.3 “Marketing Strategy Hub” or “MSH” means that certain Product provided to Customer as a part of the Digital Marketing Services Product, whereby Customer is able to utilize certain integrations with third party web marketing platforms, as further described herein.
1.4 “PPC Campaign” means pay per click Internet advertising displays used to direct traffic to the Customer’s websites or displays that are shown on search engine results pages.
1.5 “PPC Services” means a package of recommended search engine marketing enhancements and Internet marketing purchases designed to manage a PPC Campaign.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
Entrata will enhance Customer’s Internet profile and search engine marketing for a number of websites, at the rates and subject to the fees stated in the SOW, Addendum or Amendment. The Software for the Digital Marketing Services shall reside on Entrata’s ASP Server. The purpose of the Product is to increase Customer’s web presence as follows: Internet users type a query or query string into a search engine; the users then land on a search engine results page with both organic listings and paid ads; organic listings are derived through algorithmic and mathematical formulas, which can be enhanced (and rank improved) through the SEO Services; pay per click ads are triggered by matching the query with keywords in PPC Campaign accounts, which are purchased from the search engines (according to a bidding process) via the PPC Services. The placement and position of the ads are determined by both the maximum cost per click bid and the search engine’s perceived relevance of showing the ad to the user (the “quality score”). When a user clicks on the ad, a charge is incurred, and the user is directed to the Customer’s landing page. Additionally, Customer will be alerted, via ReputationAdvisor, to Resident reviews posted to various websites, wherein Customer may respond and manage public perception of its Properties.

Customer further represents that while using the PPC Services, it shall not utilize another agency to provide the same or similar services, which might constitute “double serving.” Engaging in double serving could result in account suspension by the search engines and negatively affect the success of the SEO Services, for which Entrata will not be liable.

3. SERVICES
3.1 Entrata shall make the ResidentPay Product available to Customer and Payor that shall allow Customers and Payors to input electronic payment information and authorize the initiation of electronic fund transfers via ACH and debit and credit card Transactions during the Term. For ACH Transactions, Entrata or the Payment Processor is the Third-Party Sender of the payment instructions to the third-party bank with whom Entrata or the Payment Processor has a relationship, which will act as the ODFI for ACH Transactions. For credit or debit card Transactions, Entrata or the Payment Processor is a Payment Facilitator as such term is defined by the Card Associations. Entrata and the Payment Processor are responsible for complying with Applicable Law and the Rules when providing these Payment Services. Customer authorizes Entrata to join Payment Processor as party to the Agreement.
3.2 Customer hereby, and in accordance with the Agreement, appoints Entrata and Payment Processor as its authorized agent with full power and authority to act on behalf of Customer to (i) receive payment instructions from the Payor and process and submit Transactions to the ODFI and/or third party payment processor in accordance with its terms; and (ii) to the extent applicable, receive payments from Payor, and, in each case, Entrata and Payment Processor hereby accepts such appointment . Entrata and Payment Processor shall be responsible for processing Transaction requests and providing responses and for settlement activities for authorized Transactions. All credits and debits in connection with such Transactions will be directed into a designated account which shall be used to facilitate payment of amounts due. Once the funds clear, Entrata or Payment Processor shall promptly direct the settlement of such funds to Customer's designated account. Payment from Payor to Entrata or Payment Processor by use of the Payment Services shall be considered payment to Customer, extinguishing the Payor’s payment obligation to Customer (in the amount paid by the Payor) as if the Payor had paid Customer directly. Entrata or Payment Processor, and not the Payor, is solely liable to Customer for Payor funds if Entrata or Payment Processor fails to remit funds to Customer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this section is implied to discharge the payment obligations of a Payor in the event that a Transaction is returned or rejected for any reason. Entrata, Payment Processor, and Customer further acknowledge and agree that (i) Payors will receive a receipt upon payment that will indicate that payment has been made on the applicable date; and (ii) Entrata and Payment Processor shall be held out to the public as accepting payments on behalf of the Customer.
4. RESPONSIBILITIES OF CUSTOMER
4.1 Merchant Approval. Customer is responsible for successfully completing the merchant account application process. Customer will fill out a separate application that will be provided by Entrata. The application will require Customer to fill out detailed company information and provide certain documentation which may include but is not limited to a copy of the entity filing with a government agency, credit card processing statements, a business profile, and a management agreement. The owner or an officer of the applicant will be required to sign the application and provide a personal guarantee in order to be approved. If Customer is also required to sign an entity guarantee, entity tax information, financial statements and bank statements may be required. If Customer at any time is unwilling to cooperate or if merchant approval is denied due to bad credit, a history of bankruptcy, a history of fraudulent transactions, or for any other reason, set up Fees will not be refunded. The foregoing notwithstanding, upon mutual agreement between Customer and Entrata, Customer may request that individual fee-managed Properties be separately considered for merchant approval pursuant to the process described in this Section, or, at the sole discretion of Entrata, such Properties may be separately underwritten by, and such Properties' merchant accounts managed through, Entrata. In the event Entrata agrees to underwrite an individual Property, an owner or officer of such Property must execute a copy of this Agreement and agree to all the terms and conditions set forth herein as a "Customer" hereunder. In connection with such underwriting approval for a Property, Entrata may require each Property to complete the underwriting process as outlined above. If a Security reserve account is required, such account must be capitalized in the amount required by Entrata, and Entrata must be authorized to withdraw amounts required to cover any liabilities incurred by Entrata in connection with the underwriting of such Property.
4.2 Authorization for In-Person and Telephone Transactions. Customer shall obtain authorization from the Payor prior to initiating a debit or credit to the Payor's account when Payor requests that Customer take such action in person. Customer shall retain proof of the Payor's authorization for a period of two (2) years after receipt of the authorization, or for the appropriate period designated by the Rules and Applicable Law. In the event that a Payor initiates a Transaction that requires telephone authorization, Customer agrees to never initiate said payment unless the Payor gives the required authorization to Customer via telephone. Notification of conversion of checks to ACH must be posted and clearly visible in the leasing office and on the drop box. Customer will not manually enter check information to the Administrative System to create an ACH Transaction. All checks must be drawn on a U.S. bank.
4.3 Submitting Transactions. Customer shall submit debit and credit requests via the Administrative System for Payor-related charges only (i.e., rent and other charges incidental to such Payors' rental of real estate marketed by Customer).
4.4 Reports. Customer is solely responsible for communicating with the Administrative System to receive reports of Transactions. Entrata may also send reports of Transactions to Customer via email, if requested by Customer.
4.5 Representations for Customer Initiated Payments. In the event that Customer is entering the payment data into the Administrative System and initiating a payment on behalf of Payor, Customer warrants to the best of its knowledge with respect to all such Transactions processed by Entrata or Payment Processor on behalf of Customer that Customer has an agreement in place with Payor whereby:
-
the Payor authorized the debiting and/or crediting of its accounts by Customer,
-
each Transaction is for an amount agreed upon by the Payor in such agreement, and
-
each Transaction is in all other respects properly authorized. Customer shall provide proof of authorization for any Transaction to Entrata or Payment Processor upon request.
If and when Customer receives notice that any Payor's Transaction initiated by Customer has been rejected, Customer shall not initiate any further Transactions with respect to such Payor until the cause for rejection has been corrected. Customer shall cease initiating Transactions immediately upon receipt of any actual or constructive notice of any Payor's termination or revocation of authority.
4.6 Notice of Erroneous or Unauthorized Transfers. Customer shall regularly and promptly review all Transactions and other communications from Entrata and shall promptly notify Entrata upon discovery of all discrepancies between Customer's records and those provided by Entrata, the ODFI, or Customer's bank, or with respect to any transfer that Customer believes was made without proper authorization. Upon notification by Customer, Entrata will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Customer a method to reverse the Transaction of which it was notified.
4.7 Identifying Numbers. Customer acknowledges that Entrata or Payment Processor may rely solely on identifying numbers provided by Customer to determine the bank and account of the Payor even if the numbers identify a bank or account holder that differs from the one that Customer identified by name. In other words, if Customer provides an account number and the name of the account, Entrata or Payment Processor may rely solely upon the account number.
4.8 Convenience Fees. Customer authorizes Entrata and Payment Processor to collect convenience fees from Payors utilizing the Payment Services to pay amounts due to Customer. Such convenience fees are collected by Entrata or Payment Processor, as a Third-Party Sender or Payment Facilitator, for the convenience of providing the ability to pay amounts to Customer through an online gateway. Customer acknowledges that such convenience fees are consideration for its provision of the Payment Services, and Customer may decide to absorb these fees on behalf of its Payors. Under no circumstances is Customer permitted to charge fees to Payors in a face-to-face environment for the use of any payment method. The fees in this Section are non-refundable.
4.9 Retracting Funds (NSF’s). Customer must allow funds to be pulled from settlement bank accounts in cases of returned Payor payments. Customer will need to contact its bank to make sure this process is set up before any Transaction is processed. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in additional fees, which Customer agrees to pay or reimburse to Entrata or Payment Processor.
4.10 Waived Convenience Fees. Customer agrees to pay all transaction processing expenses incurred when convenience fees are waived on a given Transaction. If Customer chooses to allow Entrata or Payment Processor to charge a convenience fee to the Payor, and the Payor agrees to pay the fee and initiates the Transaction, and if Customer later chooses to reimburse the Payor for the total amount of the transaction, Customer agrees to reimburse the cost of the convenience fee to Entrata or Payment Processor.
4.11 Charge Back Fees. In accordance with the Rules and Applicable Law, a card holder may submit a charge back or other return payment request to the card holder's card association for many reasons, including but not limited to a claim that he or she did not authorize the payment or a claim that the payment was processed fraudulently. If a charge back or other return payment request occurs, Customer agrees that Entrata or Payment Processor will
-
debit any applicable amount from Customer's settlement bank account,
-
debit any applicable Fee from Customer's settlement bank account, and
email Customer notice of and information about the charge back or return payment request. Customer is liable to Entrata or Payment Processor for fees associated with returned payments during the Term of this Agreement and for one calendar year following the termination of this Agreement. During the term of this Agreement, if Customer desires that Entrata or Payment Processor dispute the charge back or returned payment on Customer's behalf, Customer will have five (5) days to submit a written request to Entrata, a copy of the respective Payor's lease agreement, and any other documentation requested by the credit card association. CUSTOMER UNDERSTANDS THAT ENTRATA AND PAYMENT PROCESSOR PROVIDES NO WARRANTEES AS TO THE SUCCESS OF A DISPUTE, AND THAT THE CREDIT CARD ASSOCIATION MAY NOT RESPOND TO SUCH DISPUTE FOR UP TO SIX (6) MONTHS. ENTRATA STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THAT, IN CONJUNCTION WITH ANY DISPUTE, CUSTOMER CONTACT THE PAYOR IMMEDIATELY TO ADDRESS ANY MATTERS OF PAYMENT.
4.12 Change of Settlement Bank Accounts. It is the responsibility of Customer to notify Entrata no less than one (1) week in advance of any changes in settlement bank account information. Bank changes can only be made by Customer completing a "Merchant Change Request" through the Administrative System. Failure to notify Entrata of any change or cancellation of settlement bank account information may result in additional fees.
4.13 Reversal Fees. Transaction reversal functionality will be made available to Customer through the Payment Services. CUSTOMER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LIABILITY ASSOCIATED WITH USE OF THE REVERSAL FUNCTIONALITY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO CIRCUMSTANCES WHEREIN A PAYOR'S ORIGINAL PAYMENT IS EVENTUALLY NOT ACCEPTED OR RETURNED BY A ODFI OR RDFI AFTER CUSTOMER HAS USED THE REVERSAL FUNCTIONALITY TO REFUND A PAYMENT TO A PAYOR. Customer agrees to reimburse Entrata, Payment Processor, or any third party if Transactions reversed by Customer are returned, charged back, or otherwise made unavailable after Customer has reversed the Transaction. Transaction reversals may require as many as ten (10) business days to complete and settle to Customer's bank account. Customer agrees to pay the payment reversal Fees set forth in the Statement of Work each time it initiates a reversal.
4.14 ACH and Fast Funds Refund Fees. Refund functionality will be made available to Customer and may be used at Customer's discretion. CUSTOMER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LIABILITY ASSOCIATED WITH USE OF THE RESIDENT PAYMENT REFUND FUNCTIONALITY.

Charity donations made through the ResidentPay Product are not refundable, and it is Payor's responsibility to print a record of the donation if the Payor wishes to have such a record. Entrata is not liable under any circumstances for any losses incurred by use of the donations function.
4.17 Paperless Program. Customer shall encourage all residents to submit payments via the ResidentPay system by communicating the availability of online payments via brochures, email or other marketing initiatives as agreed upon by the parties. In order to best communicate this information to its residents, Customer shall receive custom marketing materials and custom training from Entrata. Customer agrees that after such training and distribution of marketing materials, it shall seal any dropboxes, update its move-in process and documentation to reflect its encouragement of online payments, and adopt an on-site manual contact email, which may be provided by Entrata.

2. SCOPE OF USE
3.1 Transmission. Entrata will provide to Customer Services required to enable Customer to transmit Imaged Items to Entrata's designated processor to be cleared as an Image Exchange Item ("Transaction"). Customer hereby, and in accordance with the Agreement, appoints Entrata and Payment Processor as Customer's authorized agent with full power and authority to act on behalf of Customer to (i) transmit the Imaged Items to its third-party payment processor in accordance with its terms; and (ii) to the extent applicable, receive payments from Payor, and, in each case, Entrata and Payment Processor hereby accept such appointment. All credits and debits in connection with such Transactions will be directed into a designated account which shall be used to facilitate payment of amounts due. Once the funds clear, Entrata or Payment Processor shall promptly direct the settlement of such funds to Customer's designated account. Payment from Payor to Entrata or Payment Processor by use of the Services shall be considered payment to Customer, extinguishing the Payor’s payment obligation to Customer (in the amount paid by the Payor) as if the Payor had paid Customer directly. Entrata or Payment Processor, and not the Payor, is solely liable to Customer for Payor funds if Entrata or Payment Processor fails to remit funds to Customer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this section is implied to discharge the payment obligations of a Payor in the event that a Transaction is returned or rejected for any reason. Entrata, Payment Processor, and Customer further acknowledge and agree that (i) Payors will receive a receipt upon payment that will indicate that payment has been made on the applicable date; and (ii) Entrata and Payment Processor shall be held out to the public as accepting payments on behalf of the Customer. Customer authorizes Entrata to join Payment Processor as party to the Agreement.
3.2 Payment. Customer's Account will be provisionally credited upon Entrata's and Payment Processor’s acceptance of Imaged Items for deposit. Customer will create images of Checks at its location by use of scanning hardware and Software. Customer will enter all amounts and any other required information correctly. The Imaged Items will be transmitted by Customer, or Entrata's and Payment Processor’s authorized processor, over the Internet through an application interface. All Imaged Items received by Entrata or Payment Processor are accepted subject to Entrata's or Payment Processor’s verification and final inspection and may be rejected by Entrata or Payment Processor in its sole discretion.

Customer shall be responsible for training its Users in the use of the Product.
Customer will only submit Checks for processing to Entrata and Payment Processor that meet the definition of "Check" and will ensure that the Checks scanned comply with the Laws and Regulations, for Payor-related charges only (i.e., rent and other charges incidental to such Payors' rental of real estate marketed by Customer)

Entrata's or Payment Processor’s processing of any Imaged Items that do not meet the definition of Check ("Non-qualifying Items") shall not constitute a waiver by Entrata or Payment Processor or obligate them to process such Non-qualifying Items in the future. Customer will:
- Ensure that Checks are processed to permit only financial institutions to acquire rights of a holder in due course in the collection process of Imaged Items, and
- Handle, process, maintain and destroy Checks as set forth in Section 5.1 and in the Documentation.
Use the Services in accordance with the Documentation and for Payor-related charges only (i.e., rent and other charges incidental to such Payor's rental of real estate marketed by Customer). Customer will provide, at its own expense, an Internet connection, and all other computer hardware, software and other equipment and supplies required to use the Product.
Customer shall be responsible for verifying Entrata's or Payment Processor’s receipt of Customer's Transactions by verifying that deposits have been posted to the appropriate Account and will cooperate in any investigation and in resolving any unsuccessful or lost transmission with Entrata.
Customer shall be responsible for installing and implementing any changes and upgrades to the Product as required by Entrata within five (5) days to ensure compliance with regulatory changes or developments, or to protect the integrity and security of the Services. Customer will ensure that the equipment used in connection with the Product is operating properly and ensure that the Imaged Items are legible for all posting and clearing purposes.
Customer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve the confidentiality of any user identification, password, test key, or other code, authentication method or Access Credentials provided by Entrata or otherwise required for use of the Services and shall further prevent the use of the Services by unauthorized persons. Customer assumes full responsibility for the consequences of any missing or unauthorized use of or access to the Services or disclosure of any confidential information or instructions by Customer or its Users.
Customer will retain each Check in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Documentation. If not directed otherwise by Entrata, Customer will store Checks in a secure environment for such time as Customer deems necessary and advisable, but in no event less than seven (7) days or more than forty-five (45) days after such Imaged Item has been digitized and processed. Customer shall take appropriate security measures to ensure that:
-
only authorized personnel shall have access to Checks, and

Upon request, Customer will, within 48 hours, provide any retained Check (or a sufficient copy of the front and back of the Check) to Entrata. Customer will use a commercially reasonable method which is consistent with any requirements of the Laws and Regulations and approved by Entrata to destroy Checks after the retention period set forth in this Section has expired.
Customer understands and agrees that an Imaged Item that is not paid by a Payor Financial Institution, or is otherwise returned for any reason, will be returned to Customer and the Account charged for the amount of the Imaged Item plus any associated fee as set forth in the Statement of Work. Entrata's right to charge the Account will apply without regard to whether the Imaged Item is timely returned to Entrata or whether there is any other claim or defense that the Imaged Item has been improperly returned to Entrata.
Customer will not use the Product to engage in any activity directly or indirectly that is illegal or fraudulent.
4.2 Compliance with Law. Customer shall comply with all applicable Laws and Regulations.

Entrata may at its sole discretion conduct an on-site inspection, at any time and from time to time, of Customer's place of business to ensure compliance with the provisions hereof and the Laws and Regulations.

Transmissions processed after these hours are treated as occurring on the next Business Day. Imaged Items processed for deposit through the Services will be deemed to have been received by Entrata or Payment Processor for deposit at the time the Imaged Items are actually received and accepted at the location where Entrata, Payment Processor or their designated agents posts the credit to the Account.
