5 Capital

5.1 Capital Service

You represent, covenant, and warrant that you will only use the Capital Services for their intended purpose, in accordance with Applicable Law, in accordance with these Terms, and in connection with lawful business purposes relating to your activity on the Platform. You will not use the Capital Services (i) to roll-over and/or partly service existing debt, loans, or other financial obligations or (ii) for personal purposes, household purposes, or in any consumer capacity.

5.2 Eligibility and Capital Proposal

You must meet and continue to meet minimum qualifications to participate in the Capital Services. These qualifications are based on multiple factors as determined by Adyen from time to time, including but not limited to, your submission of complete and acceptable KYC information, your payment processing volume, and the location of your registered location or principal place of business. It is in our discretion to determine if you meet minimum qualifications. We may perform monitoring and/or conduct re-reviews of your compliance with minimum qualifications from time to time.

If you meet and continue to meet the minimum qualifications, you are considered an Eligible User. Eligible Users may be enabled by Platform to request Capital from us via a user interface managed and provided by Platform (“Capital User Interface”). Platform shall be your main point of contact in relation to the Capital Services.

5.3 Capital Proposal

If you are an Eligible User, Platform will provide you with the Capital amount(s) that you may request from us as well as the associated terms that would accompany such Capital amounts, such as the expected term, the relevant Adyen fees and or costs, and the repayment conditions (“Capital Proposal”). A Capital Proposal may consist of a single Capital amount, multiple Capital amounts, or a range of Capital amounts. The terms in the Capital Proposal will become binding obligations if you request Capital in response to the Capital Proposal and if we accept your request.

We are under no obligation to extend or continue to extend the Capital Services or Capital Proposals to you. A Capital Proposal is not an offer or a binding obligation. We can amend a Capital Proposal at any time including by withdrawing a Capital Proposal entirely.

5.4 Capital Request

While the Capital Proposal is available to you via the Capital User Interface, and provided you accept these Terms, you may make a request for Capital based on such Capital Proposal through the Capital User Interface. Your request must align with the terms in the Capital Proposal. The Capital Request is considered the formal request by you to receive Capital from us. By completing a request for Capital you are, subject to our acceptance, instructing us to advance Capital to you pursuant to the terms included in the request (the “Capital Request”) and will be responsible for paying the Capital amount and the associated fees (“Capital Fee”) to us (the “Capital Repayment Amount”) as further described in Clause 5.7.

Each time you submit a Capital Request you reaffirm your acceptance of these Terms and the representations, covenants, and warranties herein. If a Capital Proposal includes multiple amounts and/or other specifics, when making a Capital Request you must select the specific Capital amount and other specifics you wish to request. If the terms in a Capital Proposal or Capital Request are not clear to you, do not complete your request and reach out to Platform for clarification.

5.5 Capital Acceptance and Capital Disbursement

We may accept or reject each Capital Request in our sole discretion. If you have accepted these Terms and we accept your Capital Request, the cash advance is created along with the associated binding obligations on us and you (“Capital Acceptance”). Platform will communicate this acceptance to you. Each Capital Request we accept forms an integral part of these Terms, and should be read as a part of these Terms.

After Capital Acceptance, we will make the relevant Capital funds available via a virtual account on Adyen for Platforms (“Capital Disbursement”) and (i) will simultaneously initiate payout of the funds to the supported bank account or other supported payment instrument identified in the Capital Request, or (ii) will await further payout instruction from Platform, acting on your behalf. Capital funds made available via virtual accounts on Adyen for Platforms are generally available on the platform within one (1) business day after Capital Acceptance. Please note, as you access the Adyen for Platforms service through Platform’s integration, you do not have direct access to funds made available via virtual accounts on Adyen for Platforms. Accordingly, any Capital funds made available via virtual accounts on Adyen for Platforms that are not subsequently paid out to a bank account or other payment instrument will require further Platform instruction (which includes instruction via default pay out configurations) before they are paid out. For transfers to supported bank accounts, amounts extended through Capital are generally available to you within one (1) business day after Capital Disbursement.

You acknowledge and agree that the value available to you in connection with a Capital Disbursement is limited to the funds identified in the accepted Capital Request. You are not authorized to use any funds that are paid out to you in error. Adjustments may be made to the virtual account, your bank account, or your payment instrument, to reverse an error, reflect an adjustment, or resolve a dispute regarding funds disbursed to you or otherwise made available to you in connection with our services.

5.6 Information Requests

You must provide any information and documentation about yourself and your activities (or updates thereof) that we reasonably determine necessary, in accordance with our requirements and/or Applicable Law, to provide or continue providing the Capital Services. We may request this information directly from you or from you via Platform at any time. Such information may include financial information. You will provide such information without undue delay. You authorize Platform to share any data about you we may request from time to time.

To the extent allowed under Applicable Law, we may use this information, and any other data available to us, to assess Capital Proposals, your ability to repay Capital Repayment Amounts, or for any other lawful purpose. You authorize us to share your information with third party sources as necessary for the provision of the Capital Services and agree that we may request information about you from third party sources in relation to our provision of the Capital Services.

5.7 Repayment and ongoing monitoring

5.7.1 Cash Advances

Adyen’s Capital offering in your Territory and subject to these Terms constitutes a cash advance. If you submit a Capital Request and we accept, you are selling, assigning, and transferring to us your right, title, and interest in your future User Funds in an amount equal to the Capital Repayment Amount until we receive the full Capital Repayment Amount. If and when we accept your Capital Request, you acknowledge and agree that you no longer control or own the corresponding Capital Repayment Amount of your incoming User Funds.

We have additional risk when offering cash advances and take that risk on in exchange for your agreement to the covenants, representations, warranties, and other promises herein. Repayment for cash advances, as further described below, is conditioned upon incoming User Funds unless you breach a covenant, representation, warranty, or other provision of these Terms. Cash advances are not loans. Under a cash advance, you are selling future User Funds to us, not borrowing funds from us. If you request a cash advance, you agree to waive the right to claim that such cash advance is a loan.

5.7.2 Repayment

By completing a Capital Request, subject to our Capital Acceptance, you are committing to repay us in accordance with the provisions herein, and directing us to collect repayment via the means described herein. Each Capital Proposal and Capital Request will include a withholding percentage (the “Withholding Percentage”) and a recurring, over thirty-day periods beginning on the Capital Disbursement date (“30 Day Interval”), repayment amount (“Threshold Repayment Amount”). Subject to the provisions herein, we will collect repayment by withholding the Withholding Percentage from your User Funds from the date of each Capital Disbursement and on a continuing (as standard, daily) basis thereafter until the Capital Repayment Amount is fully collected. The Threshold Repayment Amount is due at the end of each 30 Day Interval. If amounts withheld in accordance with the Withholding Percentage over any 30 Day Interval do not amount to the Threshold Repayment Amount we will collect repayment in accordance with the below provisions.

In any case, unless otherwise agreed, you may voluntarily repay the Capital Repayment Amount in advance of the end of the Term without incurring additional cost.

5.7.2.1 Shortfall

If amounts withheld in accordance with the Withholding Percentage over the course of any 30 Day Interval, do not amount to the Threshold Repayment Amount (i.e. “Shortfall”), we will automatically extend the Term of the cash advance at daily intervals until total repayment equals the Capital Repayment Amount. Simultaneously, and to the fullest extent permitted under Applicable Law, we may increase the Withholding Percentage to satisfy all or part of the Shortfall. If your revenues decline after the Capital Disbursement or you experience other financial hardship and you wish to seek an adjustment of repayment amounts to reflect such decline, you must contact us in writing, via Platform, to request a review of your most recent financial reports and an adjustment plan. There is no interest rate associated with a Shortfall or otherwise associated with a cash advance and there is no fixed time period in which the full Capital Repayment Amount must be collected by us.

The Term included in the Capital Proposal and Capital Request for a cash advance is a target repayment date and automatically extends to the extent necessary to repay the Capital Repayment Amount.

5.7.3 Communications

Platform shall facilitate communications between you and Adyen. You shall comply with requests relating to the Capital Services from us directly or from us through Platform.

5.7.4 Additional Capital Proposals

Subsequent to full repayment of the Capital Repayment Amount, and provided the Capital Services are still in effect (i.e. the Capital Services are not terminated), you may receive additional Capital Proposals. For the avoidance of doubt, you may receive multiple Capital Disbursements during the term of the Capital Services but shall only receive one disbursement of Capital at a time, unless otherwise approved by Adyen.

5.8 Authorization

You authorize us to credit and or debit your supported accounts and payment instruments in connection with the Capital Services and these Terms and agree to be bound by the relevant rules in relation to such authorization, including but not limited to the NACHA and or SEPA Direct Debit rules. Insofar as authorization requires a formal mandate to be provided by you to us, you agree that you will provide us such mandate(s) in accordance with our requirements. If you fail to provide us with the required mandate(s), we may suspend the Capital Services or a part thereof until you fulfill the requirements.

8 Set-off

To the extent allowable under these Terms and under Applicable Law, and subject to any limitations in the repayment and/or Shortfall terms set out herein, we reserve the right to set-off any amounts owed to us now or in the future against any funds held by or otherwise available to us, directly or through Platform, regardless of whether such amounts are in a different currency or if any Insolvency proceedings have been initiated by or against you.

9 Termination and Survival

We may terminate the Capital Services at any time. If the Capital Services are terminated, you may no longer submit Capital Requests or receive Capital under these Terms.

All terms and provisions in these Terms, including any and all exhibits, addenda, and amendments hereto, which by their nature are intended to survive any termination or expiration of these Terms will so survive. Any of your obligations in relation to these Terms or the AfP Terms, specifically including repayment and other post-termination obligations, shall survive any termination and/or discontinuance of the Capital Services, and/or any revocation by you of these Terms, and will remain applicable until they are fully satisfied.

If Platform ceases its operations or otherwise no longer supports your business, we will work in good faith to ensure the Capital Services are maintained during a wind down period. In any event, you will comply with any information requests and complete any necessary transfers and/or documentation requested by us in connection with any termination of the services or Platform’s support of the services.

10 Effect of Default and/or Termination

You will be notified of any change in the manner provided by Applicable Law prior to the effective date of the change. However, if the change is made for legal, regulatory or security purposes, we can implement such change without prior notice. If any term or provision in these Terms shall be held to be illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part, under any Applicable Law, such term or provision or part shall to that extent be deemed not to form part of the terms, but the validity and enforceability of the remainder of the terms shall not be affected. The parties will undertake to replace any void provision or part with a provision approaching, as far as possible, the economic objective of the provision declared null and or inapplicable. These Terms, and each revision thereof, will apply to each Capital Proposal and Capital Request.
