Account Profile and Billing Agreement

SECTION 4: STANDARD PAYMENT & ACH SETTLEMENT COVENANTS
The following terms constitute a binding payment covenant between Company and Kaeser. These terms govern any active master agreement and establish strict financial protocols:

4.1. Mandatory ACH Settlement: Company shall configure its payment parameters within any authorized electronic payment gateway or digital system to default exclusively to Automated Clearing House (ACH) or Check/e-check. Company warrants that all gateway transactions and associated invoices shall be paid and settled via the ACH network.

4.2. Card Processing & Surcharge Restrictions: Company shall not process, issue, or attempt to settle outstanding invoices through any digital payment gateway utilizing corporate credit cards, purchasing cards (P-Cards), or virtual credit cards (VCCs). If Company requires or desires payment via credit card or virtual card, Company shall exclusively use the secure payment link embedded in Kaeser’s standard digital invoice. Company acknowledges and agrees that all card payments processed via the “Pay Now” link are subject to regulatory-compliant credit card processing surcharges as permitted by card networks, merchant service rules, and applicable local jurisdiction laws.

SECTION 5 - THIRD-PARTY BILLING PORTAL AGREEMENT

This section applies only to Companies that marked “Yes” in Section 2.4 and require Kaeser to submit invoicing through an external third-party accounts payable platform. 

IMPORTANT OPERATIONAL NOTICE: Kaeser will not register for, configure, or submit invoices through any third-party customer billing portal until Company has fully executed and returned this Form to accountsreceivable.us@kaeser.com. 

5.1. Configuration Lock & Support: Company shall configure and maintain the third-party platform (“Billing Portal”) parameters to Kaeser’s sole satisfaction, granting uninterrupted invoice uploading capabilities. Company shall provide a designated technical point of contact to verify parameters and routing. Company shall not modify any approved configurations, revoke any settings, or adjust any approval within the Billing Portal without Kaeser’s prior written consent. 

5.2. PO & Price Modifications: To guarantee technical compatibility and database reconciliation, Company shall add at least four (4) blank lines/fields to each issued Purchase Order, granting Kaeser direct permission to input tracking details, operational data, and pricing. Company grants Kaeser absolute platform authority to manually adjust line-item pricing directly in the Billing Portal to match Kaeser’s standard invoices. 

5.3. Administrative Portal Fee: In consideration of the heavy administrative burden, manual input, and maintenance costs of using non-standard external platforms, Company shall pay Kaeser a non-refundable administrative fee of $25.00 USD per invoice submitted through the platform. Payment of portal invoices is restricted to ACH, check, and e-check. Credit or virtual card settlement within the portal is prohibited.

5.4. Non-Compliance and Suspension Remedies: If portal routing parameters, settings, or rules require updates, Company shall make such updates within three (3) business days of written notice from Kaeser. If Company fails to resolve Billing Portal deficiencies within three (3) business days, Kaeser reserves the right to immediately discontinue Billing Portal use. In such event, Kaeser shall transmit digital invoices to the Designated Alternative Billing Contact specified below. Company agrees that if the Billing Portal becomes non-functional or non-compliant under Kaeser’s standards, Kaeser will cease to provide goods and services to Company until any and all outstanding balances are paid in full.

SECTION 6: RECURRING ACH DEBIT AUTOPAY AUTHORIZATION

ACH Authorization Terms: By checking the opt-in box and executing this Form below, Company authorizes Kaeser to initiate electronic debits, charges, or transfers from Company’s designated bank account via the ACH network or credit card accounts provided (each, a “Payment Method”) for recurring balances, service invoices, and/or other agreed-upon transactions. This authorization continues in effect until Company provides written or phone notification of termination. Company agrees that: 

6.1. Billing & Rate Notices: If outstanding invoice amounts vary, Kaeser shall provide Company notice of the revised amount at least ten (10) days prior to initiating the electronic transfer. 

6.2. Dishonored Transactions & Fees: Any transaction rejected for Non-Sufficient Funds (“NSF”) is subject to a separate transaction charge up to the legal maximum determined by the state in which Company resides. Company authorizes Kaeser to debit the Payment Method for such NSF fees and late charges. Kaeser may, at its sole discretion, reinitiate any rejected or unsuccessful electronic payment up to two (2) times. 

6.3. Adjustment and Error Correction: In the event of a processing or data entry error, Company authorizes Kaeser to credit or debit the account as appropriate to correct the discrepancy. Company authorizes Kaeser to verify and correct banking parameters using corporate account updating services. 

6.4. Revocation of Consent: Company may withdraw authorization at any time by sending an email to accountsreceivable.us@kaeser.com, calling (540) 621-3369, or sending written mail to Kaeser’s credit address. Written notice of revocation or changes to payment parameters must be received by Kaeser at least ten (10) days prior to the next scheduled billing date. Revocation does not affect Company’s obligation to repay outstanding debt.

SECTION 7: PRECENDENCE, CONFLICT, AND NON-SUPERSESSION

Company agrees that the covenants, administrative fees, payment defaults, and card restrictions established herein operate as standard, non-negotiable financial protocols that govern all billing and invoicing logistics between Company and Kaeser. 

7.1. Order of Precedence & Supremacy Covenant: In the event of any conflict, inconsistency, or ambiguity between the terms of this Form and any other agreement, contract, master agreement, vendor agreement, purchasing agreement, or purchase order terms currently active (an “Existing Agreement”) or executed subsequent to this Form (a “Future Agreement”), the terms, administrative fees, payment restrictions, and default routing rules of this Form shall strictly govern, control, and take precedence over such Existing or Future Agreements with respect to the subject matter herein. No boilerplate terms, electronic click-wrap agreements, or subsequent contract modifications will supersede or amend any provision of this Form unless such subsequent agreement explicitly references this Form by number (F-030333-USA-REV2) and includes language indicating the parties’ intent to override the terms of this Form.
