1. PURPOSE AND INTENT
This Supplemental Provision (“Provision”) is incorporated into and made a part of the Terms of Service (“TOS”) governing the use of the website located at gromagic.com (“Website”) and all related services operated by GROmagic LLC, an Arizona limited liability company (“Company”). This Provision is intended to protect the Company from severe and irreparable economic harm caused by unauthorized test transactions, compliance purchases, or investigative orders placed by or on behalf of financial institutions, payment networks, payment processors, banks, governmental agencies, or any other third-party entities (“Prohibited Parties”) without the prior express written consent of the Company.
2. DEFINITIONS
For purposes of this Provision, the following definitions shall apply:
- “Unauthorized Transaction” means any purchase, order, attempted purchase, or attempted order placed on the Website by or on behalf of a Prohibited Party for any purpose other than the bona fide personal consumption or use of the purchased product(s), including but not limited to testing, auditing, investigating, monitoring, evaluating, surveilling, or assessing the Company, its products, its payment processing systems, or its compliance with any law, regulation, or third-party policy.
- “Prohibited Party” means any financial institution, payment network (including but not limited to Visa Inc., Mastercard Incorporated, American Express Company, Discover Financial Services, and their subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, contractors, or assigns), payment processor, acquiring bank, issuing bank, card brand, governmental agency (federal, state, or local), regulatory body, law enforcement agency, or any agent, contractor, representative, or affiliate acting on behalf of any of the foregoing.
- “Bona Fide Consumer” means an individual person purchasing product(s) from the Website solely for personal use or consumption, who is not acting on behalf of, employed by, contracted by, or otherwise affiliated with any Prohibited Party in connection with such purchase.
3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PURCHASER
By accessing the Website, placing an order, or attempting to place an order, the purchaser expressly represents, warrants, and covenants that:
- The purchaser is a Bona Fide Consumer purchasing exclusively for personal use;
- The purchaser is not acting on behalf of, employed by, contracted by, or otherwise affiliated with any Prohibited Party in connection with the transaction;
- The transaction is not being conducted, in whole or in part, for investigative, testing, compliance, surveillance, auditing, monitoring, or any purpose other than personal consumption;
- The purchaser understands and acknowledges that any Unauthorized Transaction may cause severe, immediate, and irreparable harm to the Company, including but not limited to the suspension or termination of the Company’s merchant processing account(s);
- The purchaser has read, understands, and voluntarily agrees to be bound by the liquidated damages provision set forth in Section 5 of this Provision.
4. PROHIBITION ON UNAUTHORIZED TRANSACTIONS
No Prohibited Party shall place, cause to be placed, or facilitate any Unauthorized Transaction on the Website without the prior express written consent of the Company. Any Unauthorized Transaction constitutes a material breach of these Terms of Service, an unauthorized use of the Website, and shall give rise to all remedies set forth herein and otherwise available at law or in equity. The Company reserves the right to void, cancel, reverse, or refuse any transaction that it reasonably suspects to be an Unauthorized Transaction.
5. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
5.1 Acknowledgment of Harm. The parties acknowledge and agree that an Unauthorized Transaction may directly and proximately result in one or more of the following consequences to the Company:
- Immediate suspension or permanent termination of the Company’s merchant processing account(s), resulting in a near-total cessation of the Company’s e-commerce operations and revenue;
- Loss of the ability to accept credit card, debit card, or electronic payments for an indeterminate period;
- Placement on the MATCH (Member Alert to Control High-Risk Merchants) list or similar industry blacklist, effectively preventing the Company from obtaining replacement merchant processing services;
- Substantial and ongoing loss of revenue, profits, and business goodwill;
- Costs associated with obtaining alternative payment processing arrangements, if obtainable at all;
- Reputational harm, loss of customer relationships, and loss of competitive position; and
- Additional consequential, incidental, and indirect damages that are inherently uncertain and difficult to calculate at the time of contracting.
5.2 Difficulty of Calculating Damages. The parties further acknowledge and agree that the actual damages resulting from an Unauthorized Transaction would be extremely difficult, impracticable, or impossible to calculate with reasonable certainty at the time of contracting due to the uncertain duration of merchant account suspension or termination, the unpredictable timeline for obtaining replacement processing services, the cascading impact on customer relationships and business operations, and the speculative nature of future lost revenue and profits.
5.3 Liquidated Damages Amount. In light of the foregoing, any Prohibited Party that conducts, causes, facilitates, or participates in an Unauthorized Transaction without the prior express written consent of the Company shall be liable to the Company for liquidated damages in the amount of Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000.00) per occurrence. The parties acknowledge and agree that this amount represents a fair, reasonable, and good-faith pre-estimate of the minimum damages the Company would sustain as a result of such Unauthorized Transaction, considering the potential loss of merchant processing capabilities, the resulting cessation of business operations, loss of revenue and profits, costs of remediation, and reputational harm. This amount is intended solely as compensation for anticipated damages and is expressly not intended as a penalty.
5.4 Non-Exclusive Remedy. The liquidated damages set forth in Section 5.3 shall not constitute the exclusive remedy of the Company. The Company expressly reserves the right to pursue all additional remedies available at law or in equity, including but not limited to actual damages in excess of the liquidated amount (if proven), consequential damages, punitive damages to the extent permitted by law, injunctive relief, and specific performance. The election to pursue liquidated damages shall not constitute a waiver of any other right or remedy.
6. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF
The parties acknowledge that any Unauthorized Transaction may cause irreparable injury to the Company for which monetary damages, including liquidated damages, would be an inadequate remedy. Accordingly, the Company shall be entitled to seek temporary, preliminary, and permanent injunctive relief, without the necessity of posting a bond or proving actual damages, in addition to any other remedies available hereunder or at law or in equity.
7. CONSENT AND ACCEPTANCE
By accessing the Website, browsing the Website, placing an order, attempting to place an order, or submitting payment information on the Website, the purchaser or accessing party expressly acknowledges that they have read, understand, and voluntarily agree to be bound by all terms and conditions set forth in this Provision, including the liquidated damages provision in Section 5. Continued use of the Website following the posting of this Provision constitutes acceptance of these terms. If the accessing party does not agree to these terms, they must immediately discontinue use of the Website and refrain from placing any orders.
8. ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS
In any action, proceeding, or arbitration arising out of or relating to the enforcement of this Provision, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party all reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert witness fees, court costs, arbitration fees, and all other expenses incurred in connection with such action, in addition to any other relief to which the prevailing party may be entitled.
9. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION
This Provision shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Provision shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Maricopa County, Arizona. The parties irrevocably consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts and waive any objection based on inconvenient forum or lack of jurisdiction.
10. SEVERABILITY
If any provision of this Provision is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, and this Provision shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. In the event the liquidated damages amount set forth in Section 5.3 is deemed unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the court shall reduce such amount to the maximum sum that it deems enforceable, and the remainder of this Provision shall remain in full force and effect.
11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS PROVISION.
12. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; MODIFICATION
This Provision, together with the Terms of Service, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. The Company reserves the right to modify this Provision at any time by posting a revised version on the Website. Continued use of the Website following any such modification constitutes acceptance of the modified terms.
13. RESERVATION OF RIGHTS
The Company reserves the right to cancel any order, refuse service, reverse any transaction, and pursue all available legal remedies against any party found to be in violation of this Provision. No failure or delay by the Company in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof.
