Terms of Services-Merchants

Welcome to Centavizer.  Our Website is www.centavizer.com (“Centavizer Website”). In this document, when we use the term “Centavizer” or “we” or “us” or “our” it is a reference to Centavizer Corporation, a Delaware corporation. 

Our mobile application (“Centavizer App”) syncs with a user’s (”User’s”) Fitness Tracker or mobile device’s pedometer to award “centz”.  “Centz” are units of exchange that a User may generate through the Centavizer App by verified physical movement (currently limited to steps recorded by a User and others authorized by a User to sync their Fitness Tracker with a User’s Centavizer App).  Centz are used toward the purchase of meals, merchandise, services and other benefits uploaded to the Centavizer App by participating Merchants. 

The Centavizer App may be accessed and downloaded by you through our Website or at the Apple App Store or Google Play or with Windows Store.  To use the Centavizer App, you must create a Merchant account (a “Centavizer Account”).  Your Centavizer Account can be created and accessed through the Centavizer App or your Social Media Account (Facebook, google, twitter, etc.), and requires (a) demographic information, including business name and address, ownership, Employer Identification Number, banking information, and email address, (b) the creation of a Merchant Account with Wells Fargo Bank (the “Bank”) and Nuvei Technologies Inc. (the “Servicer”), which when approved by the Bank and the Servicer will set the applicable Discount Rate, Approved Average Ticket and Approved Monthly Credit Card Volume and result in the issuance of a Merchant ID Number, and (c) your downloading a Centavizer App/API (Application Programming Interface) (“Centavizer API”) to a POS (Point of Sale) device that integrates into the Centavizer system for order taking, payment and record keeping purposes. Once the Bank and Servicer approve your Merchant Account and issue you a Merchant ID Number, you can download into the Centavizer system coupons/special discounts for your meals, merchandise, services or benefits that can be accessed by a User’s Centavizer App and redeemed utilizing accumulated centz and the User’s secure tokenized credit/debit card as payment.  Information regarding the transaction, including the final sales price (after the inclusion of sales tax and the application of centz), less Centavizer’s service fee equal to 20% of the final sales price (the “Centavizer Service Fee”), out of which Centavizer pays all credit/debit card processing charges, automatically is forwarded by the Centavizer system to you, the Bank and Servicer, and you are paid on a daily basis for funds received by the Bank and Servicer from the applicable card issuing bank.
