(“PROCESSING TECHNOLOGY”, “MOONA”) PROVIDES ITS SERVICES TO THE RETAILER (AS DEFINED IN THE SALES ORDER) ACCESSING AND INTEGRATING MOONA’S PROPRIETARY APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACES (THE “API”) AND/OR ITS MOONA MEMBERSHIP, OR OTHERWISE RECEIVING THE BENEFIT OF MOONA’S SERVICES. BY INDICATING ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT OR BY OTHERWISE USING THE SERVICE, RETAILER IS ENTERING INTO A LEGALLY BINDING AGREEMENT WITH MOONA.

IF RETAILER DOES NOT AGREE TO THIS AGREEMENT, RETAILER MUST NOT COMPLETE THE ORDER PROCESS AND MUST NOT USE THE SERVICE. TERMS NOT DEFINED HEREIN SHALL HAVE THE MEANINGS GIVEN TO THEM IN THE SALES ORDER.

1.Provision of the Service.

1.1 Provision Generally

During the Term as defined in (Section 5.1) Moona will provide Retailer with access to Moona’s proprietary (i) integrated payment infrastructure APIs, and (ii) Moona Membership, and in each case the related services provided for herein (collectively, the “Service”) in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In order to access and use the Service, Retailer is responsible at its own expense for obtaining its own Internet access, and any hardware and software required therefor. The use of any registration-related information you provide us and the information we collect about you in connection with your subscription to the Service is governed by our Privacy Policy, available at https://moona.com/privacy, which are incorporated herein by reference. Moona will provide implementation services to the Retailer to the extent set forth in the Sales Order.

1.2 Description of the Service

Moona operates 2 services :

  • “Moona Checkout Service”: This service is supplied by Moona to the Retailers and involves an integrated payment infrastructure allowing Retailers to accept card payment. Our technology is proprietary, using payment capacities provided by Stripe, a US processing company.
  • “Moona Membership”. This service is supplied by Moona to Members and is a program offered to all our Members who make payments for their purchases to those Retailers who use the Moona Checkout Service. The Moona Membership grants Members access to call upon the Promise (as set out in section 1.4).

1.3 Moona Membership offer to the Retailer’s Customers

By registering and installing our Moona Checkout Service on its website, the Retailer hereby authorizes Moona to offer access to Moona Membership to all customers making payments to that Retailer through the Moona Checkout Service.

If the Customer accepts to join our Moona Membership, they will become a Moona Member and the Retailer acknowledges and agrees that:

  • the Retailer is not part of the contractual relationship created between the Member and Moona.
  • the Retailer will remain solely and contractually responsible for the purchase made by the Customer through the Retailer website.
  • Moona is not involved and/or responsible for the selling and distribution of the product disclosed on the Retailer website and in relation to which Moona only operates as a third party in processing of the underlying payment.
  • the Retailer remains solely and exclusively responsible for the effective delivery, the quality and all liabilities of the products for which payment was made by utilising the Moona Checkout Service.

1.4 The Promise and the Payback

When purchasing goods or service from a Retailer, an individual customer will be offered at the point of “checkout” to pay using the Moona Checkout Service. At checkout, when clicking on the link representing the Moona Checkout Service to pay for their purchase, that individual customer will be offered the opportunity to become a Member.

A Member will pay a membership fee as consideration for the Company’s promise that on each occasion when the Member places an order with a Retailer, the Company will pay a sum of money for the benefit of the Member to be used by that Member exclusively towards that Member’s payment of the consideration for that Member’s order (the “Promise”). On each call by a Member on the Promise, the payment by the Company shall amount to a fixed amount of £5 for the benefit of the Member. We reserve the right to change the amount payable by the Company on each occasion a Member calls on the Promise and will give you 30 days advance notice before doing so. When called, the amount representing the Promise will be deducted from the total amount due from the Member to the Retailer at the point of checkout in respect of the purchase, reducing the total price to be paid by the Member to the Retailer. Pursuant to the terms agreed with each Member, each Member agrees and authorises the Company to pay, on behalf of the Member, the amount representing the Promise directly to the Retailer with whom the purchase order was processed. Once called upon by a Member, a Promise will be paid to the Retailer, only upon successful completion of the underlying purchase(s) Moona has been mandated to process. The Promise amount will be paid directly by Moona to the Retailer fund balance as authorised by the Member.

1.5 Grant of Rights
