8. US Bank Account Payment Method
ACH processing for a business works as follows:
ACH (Automated Clearing House) payment processing facilitates electronic transfers between bank accounts, involving a “push” (credit) or “pull” (debit) of funds, typically processed in batches over 3-4 business days (excluding weekends and holidays).
- Initiation: The customer authorizes an ACH debit of their account.
- Batching: The ACH processor collects multiple ACH requests and groups them into batches. These batches are then sent to an ACH operator, which can be either the Federal Reserve or The Clearing House.
- Processing: The ACH operator processes the batches and routes them to the bank holding the recipient’s account, called the Receiving Depository Financial Institution (RDFI).
- The RDFI then debits or credits the recipient’s account depending on the type of ACH transaction initiated.
9. Taxes and Other Charges
Blacksite Biotech shall not be responsible for the payment of any use tax, sales tax, excise tax, duty, custom, inspection or testing fee, or any other tax, fee or charge of any nature whatsoever imposed by any governmental authority, on or measured by the transaction between, with the sole exception of any sales taxes invoiced and collected from you by Blacksite Biotech. All other such charges (if any) must be paid by you separately and in addition to the prices quoted or invoiced.
