Exhibit 6.6

 

Shopify Capital Agreement

 

Brig Taylor Amount Received: $500,000
SlideBelts Inc. Total to Remit: $555,000
May 9, 2017 Remittance Rate: 14%

 

You sell goods and/or services to your customers using software and services provided by Shopify Capital Inc. (“we”, “us” or “Buyer”). We have agreed to provide you with working capital by purchasing a portion of your future revenue from you. This Shopify Capital Agreement (the “Agreement”) contains the terms and conditions for that purchase. In this Agreement you and we are sometimes referred to as a “Party” or the “Parties”.

 

The payments your customers make to you create a “revenue stream.” This Agreement will cover all of the money in your revenue stream, which we call “Receivables.” Receivables include, for example, all of the money you receive each day from customer payments, whether those payments are made with cash; bank checks; credit, debit, and other types of payment cards; electronic money transfers such as Automated Clearing House or “ACH” debits and PayPal® money transfers; or other forms of payment.

 

We agree to buy from you (and you agree to sell to us) the amount of future Receivables shown below (the “Total to Remit”) in exchange for the “Amount Received” shown below. In order to deliver to us the Total to Remit, you assign to us the percentage of your Receivables (“Remittance Rate”) shown below, every day from the date set out in Section 1 below until we have received the entire amount of the Total to Remit. On days when banks are not open the Remittance Rate will be delivered to us on the next banking day. For example, the Remittance Rate for Friday, Saturday and Sunday will be delivered on the following Monday.

 

Introduction

 

This deal is a sale of your Receivables to us, not a loan. An advantage to you of selling Receivables instead of borrowing money is that there are no minimum payments, payment schedules, or due dates. If your business is slow, you will not have to worry about having to make a loan payment on a due date, since this is not a loan. In fact, if you go out of business and you did not commit any “Bad Act” described in Section 8(a) which are violations of this Agreement, you will not have to pay off the balance of Receivables you sold to us, since the Receivables we bought were not created. The key commitment you make to us in this Agreement is that you will allow us to receive the Remittance Rate as Receivables are generated in the course of your business. If your business does not generate the Receivables we bought, we will have no right to demand payment from you.

 

We take some risks in this deal, like the risks of not getting the Receivables we bought as quickly as we thought we would, or not getting them at all if you go out of business. However, you are not allowed to engage in any Bad Act that unfairly prevents us from receiving what we paid for. For example, you are not allowed to stop taking payment cards as a form of payment, use a payment card processor other than Shopify Payments, enter into another similar agreement with another merchant cash advance provider, or close your business and start up another similar business right away. The details on this are below.

 

By clicking on “Accept terms”, you are making an offer to sell Receivables to us which we may accept by delivering the Amount Received to you. This Agreement will not take effect unless we accept it by delivering the Amount Received. The date on which we deliver the Amount Received to you is the “Effective Date.”

 

   

 

 

Detailed Terms and Conditions

 

1. Timing and Method of Delivery. We will purchase the Total to Remit by either (1) initiating a transfer of the Amount Received to your Shopify Merchant Bank Account (“SMBA”) or (2) directing a payment processor selected by us (the “Processor”) to transfer the Amount Received to your SMBA. Beginning 2 days after we have purchased the Total to Remit (the “Specified Date”), you will deliver to us (or cause to be delivered to us), on each banking day (meaning any day that banks are open in Richmond, Virginia,) the Remittance Rate of your daily Receivables, and this will continue until the total amount of Receivables remitted to us is equal to the Total to Remit. The Remittance Rate will be delivered to us only on banking days. The Remittance Rate of any Receivables received by you on a day that is not a banking day will be delivered to us on the next banking day. You will deliver the Remittance Rate to us each banking day by authorizing and directing the Processor to deduct the Remittance Rate from daily Receivables owed by the Processor to you. You authorize us to debit your SMBA, or any other account into which you receive Receivables, via ACH (as set forth in Section 12).

 

2. Processing Arrangement. You irrevocably authorize and direct the Processor, and any other processor, acquirer, service provider or financial institution taking custody of, holding, possessing or issuing payment instructions with respect to Receivables (collectively, the “Receivables Custodians”) to deliver the Remittance Rate of your Receivables on each day (the “Daily Amount”) to us until we have received the Total to Remit, or, in the event that we declare the entire undelivered balance of the Total to Remit to be deliverable, to deliver this amount. You agree that the Receivables purchased by us under this Agreement are our property. You agree that when a Receivables Custodian takes custody of, holds, possesses, or issues payment instructions with respect to Receivables, it does so in trust for us. If there has not been a default, a Receivables Custodian will not deliver any particular day's Daily Amount to us if that Daily Amount has already been delivered to us by another Receivables Custodian. You agree that you do not have the right to revoke or otherwise seek to override the authorization and direction set forth in this section and that this authorization may only be revoked by us. You agree that a Receivables Custodian may rely on any instructions issued by us with respect to the delivery of the Receivables, including an instruction to deliver all Receivables to us in the event we declare the entire undelivered balance of the Total to Remit to be deliverable. You waive and release any and all claims you may have against any Receivables Custodian that are in any way related to the Receivables Custodian delivering Receivables to us as described in this section. You authorize each Receivables Custodian to provide us with any and all information we request about the Receivables that the Receivables Custodian possesses or has access to, including information about daily volumes, number of transactions, distributions, offsets, withdrawals and totals. YOU, YOUR SUCCESSORS AND PERMITTED ASSIGNEES AND AFFILIATES, AGREE TO FOREVER PROTECT, INDEMNIFY AND “HOLD HARMLESS” US, EACH RECEIVABLES CUSTODIAN, AND THEIR AND OUR SUCCESSORS, ASSIGNS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, MANAGERS, MEMBERS, AGENTS AND AFFILIATES, AGAINST ALL DAMAGES, EXPENSES, CLAIMS, SUITS, DEMANDS, COSTS, ATTORNEYS' FEES OR LOSSES ARISING OUT OF OR ALLEGED TO HAVE ARISEN OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH DELIVERING RECEIVABLES TO US AS DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION. IN NO EVENT WILL WE OR THE RECEIVABLES CUSTODIANS BE LIABLE TO YOU OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY LOSS OF USE, REVENUE OR PROFIT OR LOSS OF DATA OR FOR ANY DIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGE WAS FORESEEABLE AND WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. The Parties agree that any amounts due to a Receivables Custodian under your agreement with such Receivables Custodian take priority over amounts to be delivered to us under this Agreement. The Parties agree that each Receivables Custodian is a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement and may rely on this Agreement even though it is not a party to this Agreement. You grant to us an irrevocable power of attorney, coupled with an interest, and appoint us and our designees as your attorney-in-fact, to take any and all actions necessary or appropriate to direct new or additional processors to make payment to us as contemplated by this Section 2.

 

   

 

 

3. Fees and Costs. It is your responsibility to deliver to us the Remittance Rate of future Receivables up to the total amount of the Total to Remit. We are entitled to receive from you, and you agree to pay, (a) all reasonable costs incurred by us associated with a Bad Act or Other Breach (as defined in Sections 8(a) and (b) below) and the enforcement of our rights, including court costs, arbitration costs allowed under this Agreement, and attorneys' fees, as permitted by applicable law, and (b) a fee of $25.00 (or, if less, the maximum amount permitted by applicable law) for each rejected or dishonored ACH attempt, check, or wire transfer withdrawal, as the case may be. If we debit from your SMBA an amount in excess of the amount then due to us, our sole liability to you will be to return the excess amount to your SMBA. You agree to notify us within sixty (60) days of any excess debits.

 

4. Security Interest: In order to secure all of your obligations to us under this Agreement, you hereby grant to us a security interest (the “Security Interest”) in all of the following property (collectively, the “Collateral”): (a) all of your personal property of any kind, including but not limited to your accounts, chattel paper, documents, equipment, general intangibles, instruments and inventory (as each of those terms is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code, as in effect from time to time under the laws of the state of Virginia (the “UCC”), and (b) all cash and non-cash proceeds (as defined in the UCC) of each of the items described in section (a). The Security Interest that you grant us in this section includes all Collateral that you currently own or may acquire in the future.

 

a. The Security Interest granted in this Section 4 will not become effective unless and until you commit a Bad Act. If you commit a Bad Act (as defined in Section 8(a) below), the Security Interest will become effective immediately, without any notice to you and without any further action required.

 

b. In the event that the Security Interest becomes effective, you agree not to create, grant, or permit any other lien, pledge or security interest to exist on any of the Collateral, except for the Security Interest granted to us under this Agreement. This is referred to as a “negative pledge,” and includes liens, pledges or security interests that you may create or grant directly or indirectly, or voluntarily or involuntarily. If any lien, pledge or security interest is created in the Collateral, other than our Security Interest under this Agreement, you agree to take any action necessary in order to remove that lien, pledge or security interest.

 

c. You understand that we have the right to take delivery of your Receivables as they are generated in the ordinary course of your business. The Security Interest granted in this section is being given solely for the purpose of ensuring that you do not take any action to deprive us of that right. This Security Interest does not mean that we have made a loan to you, does not create a debt, and does not make you a debtor or us a creditor.

 

d. You authorize us to file one or more UCC-1 financing statements to memorialize the sale of your Receivables to us.

 

You also authorize us to file one or more UCC-1 financing statements at any time in order to perfect the Security Interest granted to us under this Section. These financing statements may be separate from, and in addition to, any financing statements that we may file to provide notice of our purchase of your Receivables under this Agreement. Any financing statements may include notice that you have given a negative pledge of the Collateral.

8. Events of Default.

 

a. Bad Acts: If you commit any of the following acts (“Bad Acts”) without our prior written consent, you will be in default: (a) you sell, transfer or otherwise encumber or attempt to sell, transfer or otherwise encumber Receivables, whether or not such Receivables are part of the Total to Remit; (b) you encumber or allow any encumbrance to attach to our interest in the Total to Remit; © you sell all or substantially all of your assets used in the operation of your business to a third party; (d) you become a party to or the subject of any agreement pursuant to or as a result of which any person or group of persons acquires control, directly or indirectly, of your business; (e) you materially change the operation of your business (e.g., changes in industry, concept, size, etc.); (f) you stop accepting a particular method of payment while you remain open for business; (g) you change your legal name or jurisdiction of formation, or carry on business through a different business entity; (h) you generate Receivables but fail to deliver to us the Daily Amount for a period of five (5) consecutive business days; (i) you change processors; (j) you do not obtain a replacement processor acceptable to us within fifteen (15) days after your processor terminates its relationship with you or we notify you that your current processor is no longer acceptable to us; (k) you utilize a processor other than one that is acceptable to us; (l) you provide us with false or misleading information about your business or Receivables (in your application or otherwise) that is material to our decision to purchase Receivables from you; and (m) you take or fail to take an action that hinders our taking delivery of the Remittance Rate of Receivables from any Receivables Custodian. However, with one exception, we will not consider any of these acts to be Bad Acts if they occur because you go out of business in the ordinary course. The one exception is the following: If you go out of business or become the subject of a voluntary or involuntary filing for protection under the United States Bankruptcy Code within forty-five (45) days of our purchasing the Total to Remit, you agree that there will be a rebuttable presumption that you engaged in a Bad Act.

 

b. Other Breaches. If you commit an act that is not a Bad Act but that otherwise violates a term or covenant in this Agreement (an “Other Breach”), you will be in default.

 

9. Remedies: If you commit a Bad Act, you will be liable to us in an amount in cash equal to (a) the undelivered portion of the Total to Remit, plus (b) any other fees and other amounts due to us under this Agreement, plus © any additional amounts you would owe us for committing an Other Breach. If you commit an Other Breach, you will be liable to us for all damages resulting from the Other Breach (or Bad Act), including, but not limited to, our reasonable attorneys' fees, expenses and costs incurred in any proceeding pursued against you to recover the amounts due us under this Agreement. You agree to pay us the amounts due or we may withdraw such amounts from your SMBA, or any other account into which you receive Receivables, via ACH. If you commit a Bad Act, you expressly authorize us and/or any Receivables Custodian to do any of the following: (i) freeze or place a reserve on any account into which Receivables are deposited; (ii) transfer funds from any such account for any amounts you owe under this Agreement; and (iii) offset any amounts you owe under this Agreement against amounts to which you may be entitled under any agreement you have entered into with us or an affiliate, including, but not limited to agreements for payment processing services. All rights available to us are cumulative and not exclusive of any other remedies available to us in law or equity.

 

10. Credit Reports: You agree that a consumer report about your principals may be obtained in connection with this Agreement. Any such report may contain information, including public record information, information about credit worthiness, credit standing, credit capacity, character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living, such as criminal history, age verification information, citizenship status, or fraudulent activity. If adverse action is taken, based in whole or in part on the information contained in the consumer report, you will be provided with the name, address, and telephone number of the consumer reporting agency as well as a summary of your rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. You voluntarily and knowingly authorize and request any consumer reporting agency engaged by us to furnish the above mentioned information. You understand that the above-mentioned information may be obtained from a variety of sources, including, but not limited to, public records, credit bureaus and financial institutions. You further authorize us to obtain the above-mentioned reports at any time during which this Agreement is in effect.

Shopify Electronic Fund Transfer Authorization \n You irrevocably authorize us (which includes for the purposes of this authorization, our agents, service providers, successors and assigns) to take delivery of each day’s Daily Amount by initiating an electronic fund transfer via the Automated Clearing House network or similar network (an “ACH”) from the SMBA as it may be updated by you from time to time, any substitute account you later specify and/or any other account containing your Receivables (collectively, the “Account”) on or after the date the associated Receivables were created. You authorize us, at any time and in our sole discretion, to initiate to any Account an ACH debit or credit entry in an amount less than $1.00 or an ACH pre-notification entry for the purpose of verifying that ACHs may be successfully credited to or debited from such Account. You authorize us to initiate a single ACH for the combined amounts of different days’ Daily Amounts (e.g. initiate a single ACH on Monday for Daily Amounts that were created on Friday, Saturday and Sunday) or to initiate individual ACHs for such Daily Amounts. You further authorize us to initiate ACHs to the Account for any amounts that come due under the Agreement, including ACHs for the undelivered Total to Remit in the event you commit a Bad Act. You also authorize us to initiate ACH credits or debits to the Account to correct any errors we may make in processing a payment. In the event that an ACH is returned unpaid, you authorize us to re-initiate the ACH until it is paid and to initiate a separate ACH or to add to a reinitiated ACH the amount of any dishonored payment fee that we charge. You agree that you will not cancel this Authorization or instruct any depository holding Receivables we purchased to reject our ACHs. You promise that the Account and any substitute Account you provide us is used for business purposes and not for personal, family or household purposes and that you are an authorized signor on these Accounts. You agree to be bound by the rules and regulations of any applicable payment networks as may be required to effect any of the transactions authorized under this section.

 

13. Arbitration Provision. You and we each may elect to resolve any and all claims and disputes relating in any way to this Agreement or our dealings with one another (“Claims”), except for Claims concerning the validity, scope or enforceability of this Arbitration Provision, through BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION. This Arbitration Provision is made with respect to transactions involving interstate commerce and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16 (the “FAA”), and not by state law.

 

a. Individual Arbitration. If you or we elect to resolve a dispute by arbitration, this means that neither you nor we will be able to have the dispute settled by a court or jury trial or to participate in a class action or class arbitration. Other rights that you and we would have if you or we went to court will not be available or will be more limited in arbitration, including the right to appeal. You and we each understand and agree that by allowing each other to elect to resolve any dispute through individual arbitration, WE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A COURT OR JURY TRIAL. IF ANY PARTY ELECTS TO RESOLVE A DISPUTE BY ARBITRATION, THAT DISPUTE SHALL BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION, REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION OR ANY SIMILAR SUCH PROCEEDING. The arbitrator(s) may not consolidate more than one party's claims (except Claims by or against you with respect to a single Agreement or series of Agreements involving the same parties) and may not preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

 

   

 

 

b. Arbitration Rules. Arbitration of any dispute under this Arbitration Provision shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) pursuant to the applicable rules of AAA in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated. You may contact AAA to obtain information about arbitration, by calling 800-778-7879 or visiting www.adr.org. If AAA is unable or unwilling to administer the arbitration of a dispute, then a dispute may be referred to any other arbitration organization you and we agree upon or to an arbitration organization or arbitrator appointed pursuant to section 5 of the FAA. Arbitrations shall be conducted before a single arbitrator. The arbitration shall take place in the federal judicial district in which your physical address is located, unless otherwise agreed by you and us in writing. The arbitrator shall apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations and shall be authorized to award any relief that would have been available in court, provided that the arbitrator's authority to resolve claims and make awards is limited to you and us alone except as otherwise specifically stated herein. The decision by the arbitrator shall be final and binding. You and we agree that this Arbitration Provision extends to any other parties involved in any Claims, including but not limited to your and our employees, affiliated companies, and vendors. In the event of any conflict between this Arbitration Provision and the AAA arbitration rules or the rules of any other arbitration organization or arbitrator, this Arbitration Provision shall govern.

 

c. Arbitration Fees and Costs. We will be responsible for paying all of the arbitration fees.

 

d. Exceptions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, you or we may seek relief in a small claims court for Claims within the jurisdiction of that court. In addition, you and we agree that this Arbitration Provision does not stop you or us from exercising any lawful rights to seek provisional remedies or self-help. You and we agree that we each may seek provisional remedies in court or self-help remedies out of court without waiving the right to arbitrate. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the foregoing class action waiver and prohibition against class arbitration is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, then this entire Arbitration Provision shall be void. If any portion of this Arbitration Provision other than the class action waiver and prohibition against class arbitration is deemed invalid or unenforceable, it shall not invalidate the remaining portions of this Arbitration Provision.

 

e. Arbitration Provision Is Optional. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REJECT THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION, BUT YOU MUST EXERCISE THIS RIGHT PROMPTLY. If you do not wish to be bound by this agreement to arbitrate, you must notify us in writing within sixty (60) days after the Effective Date. You must send your request to: Shopify ATTN: General Counsel, 150 Elgin Street, 8th Floor, Ottawa, Ontario, K2P 1L4. The request must include your full name, address, account number, and the statement “I reject the Arbitration Provision contained in my Shopify Capital Agreement.” If you exercise your right to reject arbitration, the other terms of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect as if you had not rejected arbitration.
