Terms of Service
Last Updated: January 8, 2025
1. Agreement to Terms
Welcome to Custom Fees. These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("you," "your," or "User") and Custom Fees ("we," "us," "our," or "Company") governing your access to and use of the Custom Fees application and all related services (collectively, the "Service").
By installing, accessing, or using our Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not install, access, or use the Service.
If you are using the Service on behalf of a business or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms, and "you" will refer to that entity.
2. Description of Service
Custom Fees is a Wix application that enables merchants to create and apply conditional fees to customer orders in their Wix stores. The Service allows you to:
- Create fee rules based on various conditions (cart contents, shipping destination, order value, etc.)
- Apply fees automatically to qualifying orders
- Track and analyze fee collection through a dashboard
The Service is provided through the Wix App Market and operates as an integrated component of the Wix e-commerce platform. Your use of the Service is also subject to Wix's Terms of Use and any other applicable Wix policies.
3. Account and Registration
To use our Service, you must have a valid Wix account and an active Wix store. You are responsible for maintaining the security and confidentiality of your Wix account credentials. You agree to:
- Provide accurate and complete information when setting up and using the Service
- Maintain and promptly update your information as needed
- Accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account
- Notify us immediately of any unauthorized access or use of your account
4. Fee Rules and Merchant Responsibility
You are solely responsible for the fee rules you create and the fees you charge to your customers. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Ensuring your fees comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and payment processor terms in your jurisdiction and the jurisdictions where you sell
- Verifying that your fee configurations are accurate and appropriate for your business
- Clearly disclosing fees to your customers as required by law
- Ensuring your fees do not violate consumer protection laws, credit card network rules, or platform policies
- Handling any customer disputes, chargebacks, or complaints related to fees you collect
We provide tools to help you create fee rules, but we do not provide legal, tax, or compliance advice. You should consult with appropriate professionals to ensure your fee practices are lawful and appropriate for your business.
5. Pricing and Payment
Our current pricing structure is based on a revenue-share model where you pay a percentage of the fees you collect through our Service. A portion of fees collected each month may be free, with tiered rates applying thereafter. Current pricing details, including any free tier thresholds and applicable rates for your currency, are available on our website and within the application.
We reserve the right to modify our pricing at any time. We will provide reasonable notice of any pricing changes through the Service or via email. Your continued use of the Service after such notice constitutes your acceptance of the new pricing.
You authorize us to charge your designated payment method for any amounts owed. If payment fails, we may suspend or terminate your access to the Service until payment is received.
6. Acceptable Use
You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree not to:
- Use the Service to collect fees that are illegal, deceptive, fraudulent, or misleading
- Use the Service in any way that violates applicable laws or regulations
- Attempt to interfere with, compromise, or disrupt the Service or its underlying systems
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Service

13.2 Arbitration Agreement
If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, you and Custom Fees agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in court for matters related to intellectual property or unauthorized access to the Service.

YOU AND CUSTOM FEES AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Unless both you and Custom Fees agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.
13.4 Arbitration Rules
The arbitration shall be administered by a mutually agreed-upon arbitration provider and conducted in accordance with its rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in English. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any other agreements expressly incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and Custom Fees regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.
15.2 Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable while preserving its original intent.
15.3 Waiver
Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Custom Fees.

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign or transfer these Terms without restriction.
