The Genie Club


The Genie Club is a virtual community and electronic exchange for buying, selling or trading goods and services anywhere: online, by phone or in a brick and mortar environment.

Whether you run a traditional business, or just want to occasionally trade, buy or sell your goods or services, you can enjoy giving and getting the discounts and the loyalty bonuses offered by business owners and professionals to members of The Genie Club.

The Genie Gateway


The Genie Gateway is a proprietary collection of several inventions combining a variety of distributed clients, a centralized cloud and Softswitch which together integrate three powerful technologies: Telecommunications, Internet and Electronic Financial Services into one seamless global service.

Genie Gateway is an interactive communications hub featuring a suite of solutions which fully integrate:

  • a website (with search engine optimizations)
  • computers
  • telephones (landline or cellular; traditional or “smart”)
  • text messaging
  • GenieVOX Voice SMS
  • audio services
  • video services
  • email
  • fax services / virtual fax machines

Telephone and Office Services

Multiple Lines: If You cannot take a call because you are already on an important call, with the Universal Office, Genie will answer the calls you cannot.

Integrated Voice Mail:I You can access your Universal Office voice-mail box from anywhere. Simply dial your number from any touch-tone phone, and then enter your password. Your messages are instantly available. Or if you prefer, you can check messages over the Internet.

Call Follow Me: Whether you are at home, the office, out on the town, or traveling across the country, your calls can follow you wherever you go. The people who need to reach you will not need to keep a list of numbers to try – they just call your Genie Number, and Genie will find you – because You have told her where to call. Genie will also screen your calls, so that You know who is on the line BEFORE You tell Genie whether you will take the call.

Message Notification: Any time Genie takes a message for you, she can let you know right away – or tell you later. The choice is up to You with the Message Notification feature. Whenever and wherever you choose, Genie can call you (or text you) to let you know that You have messages waiting. When You collect your messages, either over the phone or over the web, You will know who called and when. Genie can even ask for their call-back number.

Fax Line: Would you like to be able to receive faxes without installing a separate line? With the Universal Office, your fax number is the same as your telephone number. No more separate numbers. Faxes are immediately recognized and handled separately from voice calls. The fax can then be stored for later pickup, routed directly to Email for later viewing or routed to a fax machine at whatever location you choose. Control your faxes and lower your costs with the Universal Office.

Coverage: Genie has one of the largest telephone coverage footprints in North America, with local service in over 3000 communities, covering over 80% of the U.S. and Canadian population centers. But more than just “points of presence”, those local service areas are tied into a single, coherent network structure that gives you multiple entry points into a single phone system. Whether you need local number is New York, Los Angeles, Seattle or Tampa – or almost anywhere in between – those local numbers all tie in to the same Universal Office system. That gives you nationwide reach at local costs.

Conference Calling: The Universal Office has some of the most cost effective and easy-to- use conference features in the world. Set up conference calls that handle up to ten callers at a time. Or build special purpose conference rooms as large as you need.

International Calling: Genie offers some of the lowest rates available for International calling. But low rates are not enough, so the Universal Office has a unique “call back” feature that allows You to make calls from overseas at rates that reflect calls made from the U.S.

Internet and Office Solutions


Genie provides an interactive multimedia communications hub, featuring a digital buffet of unified solutions; combining the benefits of having a website fully accessible from any internet enabled device, with voice, text, video, document messaging, virtual fax, group communications, including an online store, a shopping cart with a virtual point of sale, and a CashBox with a virtual checking account, plus the most robust Virtual Office, as one unified solution.

Financial Management and Payment Services


Payroll, Commission and Residual Payments: Financial services that include payroll, commissions and residual payments in a manner intended to simplify and save costs on the payment of taxes and actual services.

Collection and Payment Processing: Genie provides an outsourced method of collections for the Genie Merchant business enterprises within the Genie Merchant Network.

In all such cases, You may choose to continue with the transaction with the understanding that You may waive Your rights for dispute resolution when using Genie Credits or GenieCheck should the transaction turn out to be in any way unsatisfactory.

Genie Credits payments are treated as a cash payment and You agree that such Payment requests constitute Your authorization for Genie to make the Payment(s) on Your behalf. Once You have provided Your authorization for the Payment, You will not be able to cancel the electronic transfer and any disputes between You and the receiving Member are to be treated as if You made a direct cash Payment to the receiving Member.

GenieCheck payments are to be treated as a payment made with a bank draft, issued by You, without giving up Your rights to stop payments as long as the subject GenieCheck has not been cashed or deposited. Once a GenieCheck has been cashed and or deposited any disputes between You and the receiving Member are to be treated as if You made a direct cash Payment to the receiving Member.

Any unclaimed, refunded or denied Payment will be returned to You in the original Payment Method. Genie will return any unclaimed payment to You within thirty (30) days of the date You initiated payment. If You stop (i.e. cancel) the payment within thirty (30) days after the payment was initiated, and before the payment is accepted, Genie will return the payment to you within ten (10) Business Days of the date You stopped payment.

Preapproved Payments

Concurrent with any Preapproved Payment from Your Account, Genie will send You a confirmation of the transaction by email. The following applies to any Preapproved Payments You make:

This notice is designed to protect You from having insufficient funds in Your account to cover Your Preapproved Payment.

Stopping a Preapproved Payment. You may stop a Preapproved Payment at any time up to 3 Business Days before the date of the next scheduled Payment. To stop a Preapproved Payment by notifying Genie with a telephone You must call to the 24 Hour Preapproved Payment Cancellation Line.

Risk of Reversals, Chargebacks and Claims

When You are sent a Payment, You are immediately liable to Genie for the full amount of the Payment sent to You plus any Fees if the Payment is later invalidated for any reason. This means that, in addition to any other liability, You will be responsible for the amount of the Payment sent by the sender, plus applicable Fees listed in this Agreement if you lose a Claim or a Chargeback, or if there is a Reversal of the Payment.

If there are insufficient funds in Your Balance to cover Your liability, You agree to reimburse Genie by increasing Your CashBox balance, or through other means.

RISKS OF USING THE GENIE SERVICES


PAYMENTS CREDITED TO YOUR CASHBOX ACCOUNT MAY BE REVERSED AT A LATER TIME, FOR EXAMPLE, IF A PAYMENT IS SUBJECT TO A CHARGEBACK, REVERSAL, AND/OR CLAIM OR IS OTHERWISE INVALIDATED. THIS MEANS THAT SOME PAYMENTS RECEIVED BY SOME SELLERS MAY HAVE THEIR PAYMENT RETURNED TO THE SENDER OR OTHERWISE DEBITED FROM THEIR CASHBOX AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN PAID AND/OR DELIVERED ANY GOODS OR SERVICES SOLD.

IF YOU ARE A SELLER, YOU CAN HELP PROTECT YOURSELF FROM THE RISK OF A PAYMENT BEING REVERSED FROM YOUR CASHBOX BY ASKING THAT THE BUYER USE GENIE CREDITS WITH A VALID CASHCODE TO COMPLETE THEIR PURCHASE. GENIE CREDIT PURCHASES ARE TREATED AS A REAL-TIME “CASH PURCHASE”, WITH BUYERS WAIVING ALL THEIR CHARGEBACK RIGHTS.

GENIE MAY CLOSE, SUSPEND, OR LIMIT YOUR ACCESS TO YOUR CASHBOX OR YOUR GENIE SERVICES, AND/OR LIMIT ACCESS TO YOUR FUNDS FOR UP TO 180 DAYS IF YOU VIOLATE THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT YOU ENTER INTO WITH GENIE OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES. GENIE MAY ALSO USE PROPRIETARY FRAUD AND RISK MANAGEMENT WHEN ASSESSING THE RISK ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR ACCOUNT.

If You are making a payment, the following applies: There is no risk of loss to You if You are making a payment if Genie fails to remit the payment to any payee; whether or not the payee receives the payment, the payee treats you as if, in effect, the payment was received.

If You are receiving a payment, the following applies: There is no risk of loss to the payor making a payment if Genie fails to remit the payment to You; whether or not You receive the payment, You agree to treat the payor as if, in effect, the payment was received. You acknowledge that, (i) Genie is not a an MSB or a bank and the Service is a payment processing service, and (ii) Genie is not acting as a trustee, fiduciary or escrow with respect to Your funds, but is acting only as an intermediary, agent and/or custodian.

Genie will help You make payments and accept payments, online or by phone. Payments are processed electronically using Genie Credits or GenieChecks drafting the Subscribing Buyers GenieCashBox account. Genie is an independent contractor for all purposes, except that Genie acts as Your agent with respect to the management and movement of Your funds (See also Section 1.6). Genie does not have control of, or liability for, the products or services that are paid for with the Genie Services. All product or service disputes involving refunds are subject to the terms and conditions of the seller’s or service provider’s refund policy.

No Surcharges

You agree that You will not impose a surcharge or any other fee for accepting Genie as a payment method. You may charge a handling fee in connection with the sale of goods or services, as long as the handling fee does not operate as a surcharge and is not higher than the handling fee You charge for non-Genie transactions.

Receiving Payments from Student Accounts

Genie may block Your ability to receive payments from Student Accounts if You sell goods or services that may be illegal for minors to purchase under any applicable laws or regulations. This includes, but is not limited to, alcohol, tobacco or adult-oriented materials.

Refund Policy; Privacy Policy

If You sell goods, You must have a published refund and return policy and a published privacy policy on Your website (if you have a website) and, at your point of sale, including your In-Store Checkout point of sale (if and as applicable).

Receiving Preapproved Payments

If You receive Preapproved Payments, You must comply with the following requirements:

Authorization. You must receive Your buyer’s prior Authorization for the amount, frequency, and duration of the Preapproved Payment. You must provide Your buyer with notice of the amount and date of each Preapproved Payment at least ten (10) days before the payment, unless the buyer has elected to receive notices only for varying amounts, as described in the following paragraph.

Notice Requirements for Varying Amounts. If the amount of the Preapproved Payment varies, You must provide Your buyer with notice of the amount and date of each Preapproved Payment at least ten (10) days before the Payment. You may also give the buyer the option to receive notice only when the amount of a Preapproved Payment falls outside a range that You and the buyer have agreed upon in advance. If the buyer has chosen to receive notices only for Preapproved Payments falling outside the agreed upon range, then You must send Your buyer notice of the amount and date of those Payments at least ten (10) days before the Payment.

Required Stop Payment Procedures for Preapproved Payments. You must provide buyers with the ability to stop a Preapproved Payment up to three (3) Business Days before the scheduled date of the Preapproved Payment. If a buyer has stopped or canceled a Preapproved Payment, you may not restart future payments without the written Authorization of the buyer. In addition, if Your buyer signed up for the Preapproved Payment through an online method, You must provide a simple and easily accessible online cancellation procedure.

ACCOUNT BALANCES


Balances

When making payments with GenieCheck You need to maintain a Balance in your CashBox in order to make Payments. You will not be able to create a GenieCheck for an amount greater than the balance in Your Genie CashBox. If You do maintain a Balance, Genie will hold Your funds separate from its corporate funds, and will not use Your funds for its operating expenses or for any other corporate purposes. Genie will not voluntarily make Your funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. While Your funds are in Genie’s custodial care, as an intermediary, Genie will use an acceptable practice to combine Your funds with the funds of other Genie Members and place those pooled funds into Pooled Accounts with one or more banks. These Pooled Accounts will be held in Genie's name for the benefit of its collective Genie Club Members at one or more banks. Balances in U.S. Dollars that are held in Pooled Accounts at one of the banks may be eligible for FDIC pass- through insurance.

Assignment of Interest to Genie

You agree that You will not receive interest or other earnings on the funds that Genie handles as Your agent and are placed in a Pooled Account. In consideration for Your use of the Genie Services, You irrevocably transfer and assign to Genie any ownership right that You may have in any interest that may accrue on funds held in a Pooled Account. This assignment applies only to interest earned on Your funds, and nothing in this Agreement grants Genie any ownership right to the principal of the funds You maintain as a Genie Club Member. In addition to or instead of earning interest in a Pooled Account, Genie may negotiate or receive a reduction in fees or expenses charged for banking services by the banks that hold your funds.

Negative Balances

If Your CashBox Account has a negative Balance, Genie may offset the negative Balance with any funds that You subsequently receive with or through your use of Genie Services.


Setoff of Past Due Amounts

If You have a past due amount owed to Genie or any of its affiliates, which amount is not the subject of a dispute, Genie may debit Your CashBox to pay any amounts that are more than thirty (30) days past due.

WITHDRAWING MONEY


How to Withdraw Money

You may withdraw funds from Your CashBox Account by requesting a GenieCheck electronically, requesting a physical check through the mail, or using Your Genie Debit Card (if applicable; applies to eligible Genie Members only). Genie will send checks only to a Confirmed Address, not a Post Office Box. If you would like us to send a check to an address that does not meet this criteria, You must contact Customer Service and provide the documentation that Genie will require to verify Your association with the alternative address.

CLOSING YOUR ACCOUNT


How to Close Your CashBox Account

You may close your CashBox at any time by following the instructions in Your Account Profile. Upon Account closure, Genie will cancel any pending transactions.

Limitations on Closing Your Account

You may not close Your Account to evade an investigation. If You attempt to close Your Account while Genie is conducting an investigation, Genie may hold Your funds for up to 180 days to protect Genie, its affiliates, or a third party against the risk of Reversals, Chargeback, Claims, fees, fines, penalties and other liability. You will remain liable for all obligations related to Your Account even after the Account is closed.

FEES


All fees are set forth in the Fee Schedule. All fees will be assessed in the currency of the Payment. Your account and all transactions are made and displayed in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise specified and may be subject to exchange rates.

Fees are based on whether You are making a Purchase Payment, a Personal Payment or a Business Payment. Some fees are expressed as a percentage of the payment amount. All Fees are in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise stated.

For Purchase Payments, the recipient of the Payment will always pay the Fees.

For Personal Payments, the following applies:

All Genie Members, including You, shall indemnify and hold Genie harmless from and against any claims, losses, damages, liabilities or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of claims or actions concerning mishandling of, errors in, delays or non- delivery of the products or services that are not attributable to the acts or omissions of Genie or any of its employees or agents.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, IN NO EVENT DURING THE TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT OR FOLLOWING ITS TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION SHALL EITHER PARTY OR THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR SUBCONTRACTORS, BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY UNDER ANY THEORY OF TORT (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER LEGAL THEORY (EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT DAMAGES ARE CAUSED BY A PARTY‘S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR INTENTIONAL WRONGDOING) FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUES, LOST BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, EACH OF WHICH IS HEREBY EXCLUDED BY AGREEMENT OF THE PARTIES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE OR WHETHER ANY PARTY OR ANY ENTITY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to You.

OUR LIABILITY, AND THE LIABILITY OF OUR PARENT, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AGENTS, JOINT VENTURERS, EMPLOYEES AND SUPPLIERS, TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTIES IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCE IS LIMITED TO THE ACTUAL AMOUNT OF DIRECT DAMAGES.

No Warranty


THE GENIE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY REPRESENTATION OF WARRANTY, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY. GENIE, OUR PARENT, THE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AGENTS, JOINT VENTURERS, EMPLOYEES AND SUPPLIERS OF GENIE OR OUR PARENT SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

Genie does not have any control over the products or services that are paid for with the Genie Services and Genie cannot ensure that a buyer or a seller You are dealing with will actually complete the transaction or is authorized to do so. Genie does not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted or secure access to any one of, or any part of, the Genie Services, and operation of Our site may be interfered with by numerous factors outside of Our control. Genie will make reasonable efforts to ensure that requests for electronic debits and credits involving bank accounts, credit cards, and check issuances are processed in a timely manner, but Genie makes no representations or warranties regarding the amount of time needed to complete processing because the Genie Services are dependent upon many factors outside of Genie’s control, such as delays in the banking system or the U.S. or international mail service. Some states do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties, so the foregoing disclaimers may not apply to You. This paragraph gives You specific legal rights and You may also have other legal rights that vary from state to state.

Compliance

The current financial services regulatory regime makes it difficult to anticipate future or changed interpretations by a federal or state regulatory agency. Although Genie takes the position that it is not an MSB and does not engage in money transmission or prepaid access, future changes in legislation, regulations, or their interpretation, may conflict with Genie’s position. Accordingly, out of an abundance of caution, and despite the lack of need to do so, Genie operates with all the policies, programs and internal controls one would expect to see in a MSB. All applicable anti-money laundering laws and regulations are complied with.

Among other things: Genie has a comprehensive anti-money laundering policy (i.e. with policies, procedures and internal controls) and engages proactive measures to assure that

its products and services are not used for illegal or nefarious purposes; Genie has a Customer Identification Program and requires Member information and identity verification for Registration and Activation; and, Genie also has an OFAC Policy and Program in place.

Genie reserves the right to change form and obtain registration and licensing, if and as appropriate, as a means of continuing to provide the Genie Club privileges, including the Genie Gateway, and Genie Services.

Severability

In the event that any term or provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or invalid in whole or in part for any reason, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

Complete Agreement

This Agreement, along with any applicable policies and agreements posted on the Genie website, sets forth the entire understanding between You and Genie with respect to the Genie Services and by their nature will survive the termination of this Agreement.

Taxes

It is Your responsibility to determine what, if any, taxes apply to the Payments You make or receive, and it is Your responsibility to collect, report and remit the correct tax payments to the appropriate tax authority. Genie is not responsible for determining whether taxes apply to your transaction, or for collecting, reporting or remitting any taxes arising from any transaction.
