Last update: March 21, 2017

These Terms of Service are a legal agreement (this “Agreement”) between you (“User,” “you” or “your”) and EverButton, LLC. ("EverButton," "we," "our" or "us"). As used in this Agreement, “Service” refers to EverButton's embeddable button services, as well as our website, any software, programs, documentation, tools, internet-based services, components, and any updates (including software maintenance, service information, help content, bug fixes or maintenance releases) thereto provided to you by EverButton. To use the Service, you must agree to all the terms of this Agreement.

This Agreement incorporates by reference all policies, notices, and other content that appear on our website at www.everbutton.com (the “Website”).

1. Merchant Relationship with EverButton

EverButton provides embeddable payment buttons ("Buttons") to Users (“Merchants”) so that they can accept payments on their own site. Merchant's are responsible for their buttons regardless of where they are hosted.

Merchants must register with EverButton. To register, a User provides information, including email address and a self-selected password, in order to create an account (“Account”). You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy and security of your Account access credentials and for any use of or action taken under them.

EverButton allows individuals, businesses, and non-profit organizations to register for EverButton. You must be either a United States citizen, a legal permanent resident of the United States, or a United States business or nonprofit organization having a physical presence in the United States and authorized to conduct business by the state in which it operates. You must be eighteen (18) years of age or older. You may open an Account for a business or nonprofit organization only if it is legitimate and you have the authority to enter into this Agreement on its behalf. Your acceptance of this Agreement constitutes acceptance by the business.

2. Purchaser Relationship with EverButton

Purchasers (anyone making a payment via a button) may register with EverButton. Whether or not Purchasers register, however, their use of the Service is governed by the terms of this Agreement.

3. Limitations on EverButton’s Responsibility

EverButton makes no representations or guarantees regarding Merchants or Purchasers utilizing our Service. Use of our Service in no way represents any endorsement by EverButton of a User's existence, legitimacy, ability, policies, practices, or beliefs. EverButton does not have control of, or liability for, goods or services that are paid for with the Service.

A charitable organization may use EverButton to accept payments as a Merchant. Not all charitable organizations are tax-exempt, and not all contributions to charitable organizations are tax-deductible. Charitable organizations are responsible for correctly classifying themselves and their transactions, issuing any required reports and receipts, and making any required tax or other filings. Contributors are responsible for verifying the status of organizations to which they donate and reporting their donations correctly for tax and other purposes. EverButton specifically disclaims any liability in this regard.

4. Our Fees

EverButton charges fees for the use of the service. All payments have a 4% + $0.30 fee that will either be charged to the merchant or the purchaser depending on the button's settings. All fee handling is done by our payment processor, Stripe.

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, we reserve the right to change our Fees. By continuing to use the Service, you consent to the change in Fees. To withdraw your consent, you must close your Account.

5. Use of Stripe

EverButton uses Stripe for payment processing. Merchant's are required to open a Stripe account in order to receive payments. Both merchants and purchasers are required to comply with Stripe's Terms of Service: https://stripe.com/us/legal

All payments, withdrawals, and other transactions are handled solely by Stripe. At no point does EverButton ever have direct access to the funds or sensitive financial information of the merchant or purchaser.

6. Taxes

You are responsible for determining any and all taxes assessed, incurred, or required to be collected, paid, or withheld, in connection with your use of the Service. You are solely responsible for collecting, withholding, reporting and remitting correct any taxes to the appropriate tax authority. EverButton is not obligated to, and will not, determine whether taxes apply, or calculate, collect, report or remit any taxes to any tax authority arising from your use of the Service.




Stripe may have tax reporting responsibilities in connection with the Service. For example, Stripe will report to the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") on Form 1099-K as required by law, your name, address, Tax Identification Number (such as Employment Identification Number or Social Security Number), the total dollar amount of the payments you receive in a calendar year, and the total dollar amount of the payments you receive for each month in a calendar year.

9. Infringement by User Content

EverButton respects the intellectual property rights of others, and asks you to do the same. If you believe that User Content posted on the Service infringes copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights owned by you (or a person on whose behalf you are authorized to act), send EverButton an Infringement Notice containing the following:

By submitting an Infringement Notice, you acknowledge and agree that (1) EverButton or its agent may forward the information you provide to the person who uploaded the allegedly infringing User Content, (2) EverButton may restrict or close the EverButton Account associated with the allegedly infringing User Content, which can have serious consequences, and (3) you agree to indemnify EverButton from and against all claims, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, which EverButton may incur in connection with the restriction of the Account or removal of the allegedly infringing User Content.

Please send your Notice of Infringement to: 

EverButton, LLC.
Attn: Legal Department
823 Congress Ave, Suite 1111
Austin, TX 78701

If you believe that your removed or disabled User Content is not infringing, or that you have the authorization or right to post and use that User Content from the owner of the intellectual property rights (or the owner’s agent) or pursuant to law, you may send a counter-notice containing the information required by Section 512(g)(3) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 USC § 512(g)(3)). EverButton will forward your counter-notification to the party who submitted the original Notice of Infringement. If the original claimant does not file an action seeking a court order to restrain you from engaging in infringing activity related to the removed or disabled User Content within 10 business days of receiving the counter-notice from EverButton, then EverButton may, in its sole discretion, reinstate the removed or disabled User Content.

You agree to defend or settle any proceeding brought against EverButton to the extent that is based on a claim that any User Content you have uploaded to the Service infringes another party’s intellectual property rights.
