You acknowledge and agree to provide public-facing contact information, a refund policy, and order fulfillment timelines on your Marketfuel storefront. You acknowledge and agree that Marketfuel's services are not a marketplace, and any contract of sale made through the services is directly between you and the customer. You are the seller of record for all items you sell through the services. You are responsible for the creation and operation of your Marketfuel storefront, your materials, the goods and services that you may sell through the services, and all aspects of the transactions between you and your customer(s). This includes, but is not limited to, authorizing the charge to the customer in respect of the customer’s purchase, handling refunds, returns, fulfilling any sales or customer service, managing fraudulent transactions, complying with required legal disclosures, ensuring regulatory compliance, addressing any alleged or actual violation of applicable laws (including but not limited to consumer protection laws in any jurisdiction where you offer products or services for sale), or your breach of these Terms of Service.

4. Payments, Fees, and Taxes
4.1 Payment Obligations
You will pay the fees applicable to your subscription to Marketfuel’s services (“Subscription Fees”) and any other applicable fees, including but not limited to fees relating to the use of all payment providers, additional services such as apps, themes, domain names, or third-party services (“Additional Fees”). Together, the Subscription Fees and the Additional Fees are referred to as the “Fees.”
4.2 Payment Methods and Billing
You must keep a valid payment method on file with us to pay for all incurred and recurring Fees. Marketfuel will charge applicable Fees to any valid payment method that you authorize (“Authorized Payment Method”), and will continue to charge the Authorized Payment Method for applicable Fees until the services are terminated, and any and all outstanding Fees have been paid in full. Subscription Fees are paid in advance and will be billed in 30-day intervals. Additional Fees will be charged as they are incurred. You will be charged on each Billing Date for all outstanding Fees not previously charged.
4.3 Invoices and Disputes
Fees will appear on an invoice, which will be sent via the primary email address provided. You will have approximately two weeks to bring up and settle any issues with the billing of Subscription Fees.
4.4 Failure to Pay
If payment of Fees cannot be processed through your Authorized Payment Method, we may attempt to process payment using any Authorized Payment Method on file. If payment of Fees is not successfully processed within 28 days from our first attempt, we may suspend and revoke access to your account and the services. Access will be reactivated upon your payment of any outstanding Fees, plus the Fees applicable to your next billing cycle.
4.5 Taxes
All Fees are exclusive of applicable federal, state, local, or other governmental sales, goods and services, harmonized or other taxes, fees, or charges now in force or enacted in the future (“Taxes”). You are responsible for all applicable Taxes that arise from or as a result of your subscription to or purchase of Marketfuel’s products and services. To the extent that Marketfuel charges these Taxes, they are calculated using the tax rates that apply based on the billing address you provide to us. If you are exempt from payment of such Taxes, you must provide us with an original certificate that satisfies applicable legal requirements attesting to tax-exempt status. You are responsible for determining if Taxes are payable, and if so, self-remitting Taxes to the appropriate tax authorities in your jurisdiction.
4.6 Responsibility for Tax Reporting and Remittance
You are solely responsible for determining, collecting, withholding, reporting, and remitting applicable taxes, duties, fees, surcharges, and additional charges that arise from or as a result of any transaction made through your use of the services.
