Agreement for Our E-commerce Services



This agreement is submitted by the Applicant that signs up for our services (herein referred to as "you", "your" or "Applicant") to NorthStar Solutions, LLC (herein referred to as "NorthStar" or "NorthStar Solutions"). Upon explicit acceptance by NorthStar, this agreement will be a binding contract (the "Agreement") between NorthStar and the Applicant according to the terms and conditions set forth below.


SERVICES AND FEES

1.1 Basic Services. During the term of this Agreement you will receive the NorthStar services, pursuant to which NorthStar will resell your products and/or services, which may be paid for using credit cards, Paypal, cash, checks, and money orders via NorthStar's e-commerce platform.

1.2 Extended Services. During the term of this Agreement you may receive the extended NorthStar services, pursuant to which NorthStar will provide certain value-added services at no extra charge beyond our usual reseller fees. These may include, upon proper setup in the Control Panel for your goods, the following: on-demand CD-ROM fulfillment services, E-Goods Delivery (ESD), and automated delivery of software unlock codes. NorthStar may also provide high-level technical support to customers to assist them with software installation; to provide assistance in locating complimentary products such as upgrades to your software; or the resending of invoices, unlock codes, download instructions, or like information related to their purchase. NorthStar may escalate any technical support questions which are beyond its level of expertise to ensure customers are assisted to the best extent possible.

1.3 Observance of Policies. NorthStar shall charge reseller fees, herein referred to as the "Fee Schedule". You agree to abide by the Fee Schedule as it is in effect from time to time. If changes to the Fee Schedule occur and impact you, NorthStar will e-mail you using the last known e-mail address provided via NorthStar's online Control Panel. Changes to your Fee Schedule shall be effective on the first day of the month following publication or notice to you unless a different effective date is indicated.

1.4 Payment to Applicant. NorthStar shall send payment to you at least every thirty (30) days for the sum of orders taken for your products and/or services, minus all fees in the Fee Schedule and any other reasonable charges from NorthStar. Payments will be sent to your last known address, as provided via NorthStar's online Control Panel; or via Paypal or wired to a bank account as previously arranged with NorthStar. NorthStar reserves the right to wait until a minimum amount of one hundred (100) dollars is owed to you before payment is made. NorthStar may hold payment for 60 days for one or more payments that, at its sole discretion and in its professional judgement, it deems has a higher risk of resulting in a chargeback. NorthStar shall have the right to deduct or bill you: (i) fees as set forth in the then effective Fee Schedule described on NorthStar's web site at www.nstarsolutions.com and (ii) other usual administrative fees due NorthStar for services or charges beyond usual reseller fees.

1.5 Term. The term of this Agreement shall be indefinite. Either party, however, has the right to terminate the Agreement at any time for any reason by giving notice to the other party via the last known e-mail address for the other party. You agree, upon termination, to immediately cease using the name "NorthStar Solutions", NorthStar's address, NorthStar's telephone number, and all other words or symbols that would indicate to the public that NorthStar should be contacted for anything related to you, your business, or your products and/or services. You agree that NorthStar may delay final payments to you for 60 days to ensure that all administrative fees and potential chargebacks can be applied to your final account balance.
