- Credit Card Information. In connection with the handling of credit card information in the provision of our Services, we have undergone a rigorous independent data security assessment to earn a designation as a Level 1 “PCI-DSS” (“Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard”) Service Provider. To the extent that we handle credit card information for your Event, we agree to maintain Level 1 PCI-DSS compliance during the term of this Agreement and to retain an independent, qualified firm to validate compliance on at least an annual basis. To the extent applicable, RunSignup agrees to provide you with proof of compliance on written request no more frequently than annually. RunSignup acknowledges that, when credit card information is used for transactions on our Site, we will employ measures designed to protect cardholder data under the requirements listed in the PCI-DSS once it has been encrypted by our SSL certificate and transmitted to our servers. We do not store any user credit card information on our servers, but pass that directly to a third party payment gateway for processing. For those users who request to have their credit card data stored, we use a secure online credit card “vault” service. We will confirm that any third party payment gateways or third party vault services we use will have also been designated as PCI Level 1 compliant.

- Important Information About Procedures for Opening a New Payment Account:
Establishing a payment account with RunSignup for the collection of fees or donations (a “Payment Account”) requires us to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. When a payment account is opened, we will ask for certain Organizer Data (as defined in Section 5 above) and you agree to provide such information. We may ask you for additional information now or in the future if your payment processing increases or if we are unable to verify your identity or the identity or tax identification number for the entity that is receiving Event proceeds.- RunSignup uses WorldPay, Adyen, Payroc and we may use other payment processing services now and in the future (collectively “Processors”) for payment processing for payment accounts.
- In order for you to use a Payment Account you must be approved as a sub- merchant by RunSignup and Processors by submitting the required Organizer Data which may vary based on your processing volume. By accepting this Agreement and using an Advanced Payment Account you also agree to the Worldpay Merchant Services Agreement for Sub-Merchants – (https://runsignup.com/WorldpayContract) and the Adyen Terms and Conditions (https://www.adyen.com/legal/terms-and-conditions-adyen-for-platforms).
- We allow you to choose direct deposit or check payments from the credit card payment gateway to the Payment Account which we maintain for your Event on a Weekly, Monthly or Daily basis (Daily Payments must be approved by RunSignup and are only for direct deposit). Weekly is the default option. Weekly Check payments are only processed if proceeds of at least $1,000 are owed or if there is a transaction that is more than 90 days old, however we won’t pay less than certain minimum amounts. RunSignup charges a $10.00 fee to process a payment by check. The fee will be available to see on our site and will be deducted from registration proceeds prior to sending you a check. Direct Deposit weekly payments are no cost to you and are not subject to the $1,000 minimum. Payments will be made on this basis with the exception of funds held to establish a refund reserve when required. The refund reserve will be paid to you via your selected payment method after the conclusion of your Event and after we have been able to verify that there are no chargebacks for your Event. All registration fees, except for Processing Fees are your exclusive property.
- Refunds – You shall exclusively and directly be liable for and handle refunds. If RunSignup, for any reason has to handle refunds or chargebacks on your behalf You will be liable to RunSignup for the registration proceeds refunded to participants for Your Event as well as any applicable RunSignup processing fees for the original registration and refund and any fees from the credit card brands or Processors to process the chargebacks. RunSignup has a service that helps you process refunds, these refunds come out of your reserve funds and will not be processed if the reserve funds do not meet the refund requests. Additional funds can be added to the refund reserve as needed.
- RunSignup reserves the right to withhold payments from an Event or Organizer if there are complaints from registrants or repeated chargebacks or if an Event has been cancelled and there are not sufficient funds available for refunds. RunSignup may require a holdback reserve from Events as a reserve for refunds and chargebacks. Additionally, that holdback may be increased for some Events based on the newness of the Event or newness of the registration history with RunSignup or based on RunSignup’s internal underwriting review of the creditworthiness of the Organizer Data submitted for the Event Payment Account. RunSignup reserves the right to withhold and deduct payment from an Event or Organizer for chargebacks that are processed against the Event. RunSignup will release any Event holdbacks after an Event has been completed and it is determined that there are no additional refunds or chargebacks to be processed for that Event.
- We may now or in the future use other Processors for payment processing. You agree and provide consent that if we decide to use another payment processing company that we may move your Payment Account or set up another similar Payment Account with any other payment processing company providing similar services for the processing and payment of Registration fees or other Event proceeds as long as there are no other material changes in the Services provided under this Agreement.
- RunSignup uses WorldPay, Adyen, Payroc and we may use other payment processing services now and in the future (collectively “Processors”) for payment processing for payment accounts.
- Payment of Registration Fees. In connection with our collection of fees in the provision of our Services, you agree as follows: (i) we may send registration fees collected by us, minus our Processing Fees, directly to you via the methods identified in Payments above and you warrant that you are an authorized representative of the Organizer in this regard and (ii) you shall indemnify us for any claims, loss or expenses (including attorney’s fees) brought by the Organizer or any other individual, entity or organization that relates to or arises from our payment of funds to you (including a claim that we wrongfully paid such funds to you and should have paid a different individual, entity or organization).
