Incorporated Terms – Fees and Billing


The terms below are incorporated into, and form an integral part of, the Agora Market Services LLC Terms and Conditions. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Terms and Conditions. Any breach of the terms below will be deemed a material breach of the Terms and Conditions.


1. Agency Wallet

Agora wallet is a digital wallet automatically provided to all Agency users in the Agora website, and is subject to the Agora Terms of Service. It is a digital wallet that is connected to your Agency account on the Agora website. This service is an Agora-internal account that can be credited by you with United States Dollars for the purpose of paying the Agora services Agencies use or subscribe to. It is also a payment data transmission service that helps you integrate with a payment processor (the “Processor”), as described more fully in this Agreement. Paid in amount as well as affiliate marketing amount received from Agora will be deposited directly to your Agora wallet. You may opt to withdraw any remaining balance on your Agora wallet subject to applicable fees and charges, if any. In the unlikely event of Agora’s bankruptcy the balance of your wallet is considered as insolvency assets of Agora and not your property. You hereby agree to assign all of your ownership rights to Agora.


2. Fees

Agora fees are due in the amount and at the billing date cycle identified on the Website or applicable Order. Unless otherwise specified, all fees are payable in United States Dollars. You agree to pay the fees for processing the payments into and out of your Agora wallet in your Agency account, which are incorporated herein by reference (the "Processing Fees"). Processing Fees shall be collected from you by the Processor on our behalf in accordance with the terms of the Stripe Connected Account Agreement. Bank processing fees, landing fees, or other intermediary fees may be deducted from the transferred amount to your Agora wallet by your bank or any other payment provider not directly associated with Agora.


3. Processor

Stripe, Inc. is the Processor which is a technical services provider offering services as an agent of one or more financial institutions (each, a “Financial Services Provider”). The processing and settlement of Transactions (“Payment Processing”) is carried out by the Processor and any of the Financial Services Providers under a separate Stripe Connected Account Agreement, including the United States Stripe Services Agreement and the applicable Financial Services Terms, and to the extent you use a payment method that is subject to additional terms, the Payment Terms (collectively, the “Processor Terms”). By accepting this Agreement, you are also accepting and agreeing to be bound by the Processor Terms, which is the legal agreement between you and the Processor.

Agora is not a party to the Processor Terms and is not liable to you in respect thereof. By accepting this Agreement and the Processor Terms you are agreeing to the creation of an account with the Processor for Payment Processing (the “Processor Account”). Agora reserves the right to change the Processor, subject to the terms of our agreement with the Processor. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and the Processor Terms, this Agreement shall prevail, except in the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and the Processor Terms concerning Payment Processing or the Processor Account, in which case the Processor Terms shall prevail. The Processor’s role is to accept and process credit card, debit card and other types of payments (collectively “Cards”) with respect to sales of your products and services through internet-based transactions (collectively referred herein, as “Transactions”).

Agora makes no representation or warranty of any kind whatsoever for the services or the content, materials, information and functions made accessible by the “Processor” or for any breach of security associated with the transmission of sensitive information through Stripe Checkout. Agora disclaims without limitation, any warranty of any kind with respect to the services, noninfringement, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose. Agora does not warrant that the functions contained in the services will be uninterrupted, speedy or error free. Agora shall not be responsible for any service interruptions, including, but not limited to, system failures or other interruptions that may affect the receipt, processing, acceptance, completion or settlement of payment transactions. The Agora is not responsible for the accuracy of any payment instrument, offer, or reward program item information, including, without limitation, whether such information is accurate.


4. Pricing

The pricing identified on the Website or any Order includes Services for a single Agency account only, unless otherwise specified. Fees for Agora website are available here: Price List. At our discretion, fees and account wallet credits will be collected on our behalf by the Processor pursuant to the Processor Terms or by such other means as we may prescribe from time to time. The pricing indicated in the website forms an integral part of the Agora's Terms and Conditions.


5. Non-Refundable

Fees are calculated on the basis of the Services purchased and are non-refundable regardless of actual usage. Agora does not issue refunds or credits for partial days, months, or years, and does not refund customers regardless of whether they have logged in or used the Services.


6. Taxes

All fees are exclusive of all applicable governmental fees, charges, or taxes, including, but not limited to, all sales, goods, services, value-added, withholding, harmonized, or other taxes (collectively “Taxes”). You will be responsible for the payment of all Taxes applicable to your use of the Services.


7. Late Payments

If Service fees are not paid or the account wallet’s credit is empty on the Billing Date Agora reserves the right to suspend your access to the Services during any period in which fees are past due. Suspending the Terms of Service does not terminate them or absolve you of any obligations or liabilities. You will reimburse Agora for any collection costs incurred.


8. Acceleration

If the Customer is materially delinquent in payments or expresses intent not to make further or timely payments, then upon Agora’s written notice, all fees remaining unpaid and due for the remainder of the then-current term will become accelerated and due and payable immediately.


9. Disputed Charges/Billing Inquiries

It is your obligation to verify all billing invoices for accuracy. You have 30 days from the date of a billing invoice to notify Agora, in writing, that you dispute the charges. Failure to do so within the specified time frame will constitute your agreement that (i) all charges are valid, and (ii) where permitted by applicable law, you waive any claims you may have had regarding such charges.


10. Fees and Billing


10.1. Billing Policies and Cycles

All billing invoices and payment notifications will be maintained through your Agora Agency control panel.
