  6. Fees

    Fees Overview

    The fees listed below pertain to the different account types that include online payment. Accounts not accepting online payment are not subject to these fees.

    In some cases, the fees on your account may differ, in all or in part, from those listed here. Refer to the specific fee schedule or your contract with League Lab, the third party Payment Processor, PayPal, or other applicable third party provider for your exact fees.

    Some fees are expressed as a percentage of the payment amount. All fees are in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise stated.

    League Lab Fees

    By entering into this Agreement, you agree to pay the stated fees for Access to the Service, as well as for any additional fees or rates for integrated Components or Services that you have opted to add to your account, or to use. League Lab will give you notice during the use of the Service if any additional functionality or aspect of the Service costs extra to use. League Lab reserves the right to change the fees for Access, or for additional Components and Services. However, League Lab will provide notice to you at least 30 days in advance of any changes to stated fees or rates that would affect you. League Lab will provide invoices to you detailing the amount you owe for Access and for the use of any additional Components or Services.

    TeamPayer Fees

    TeamPayer is an online payment tool that helps Captains and Players share the team fee in situations where “Captains Pay.” The TeamPayer functionality is optional for Captains and Players to use at their own discretion and convenience. TeamPayer allows a Captain to assign a fee share to the players they invite to their team. The players can then opt to pay their share online directly to the activities PROVIDER, which reduces the balance the Captain owes the PROVIDER.

    When a player chooses to pay a fee share online via TeamPayer, the player will pay an additional TeamPayer Convenience Fee that is added to the amount requested by the Captain. This fee is received by the PROVIDER through their payment processing method, and then a share of these funds is paid to League Lab as defined by the rates below. If a TeamPayer fee is collected, the League Lab share will be included on the next invoice for the Service.

    If your account includes online payment, you agree that the TeamPayer functionality will be enabled on your account. You agree that you will not discourage use of the TeamPayer functionality for any reason, or apply any surcharges to payments received through TeamPayer. You agree that payment of the TeamPayer fee shares to League Lab will occur on the normal billing schedule of your account.

    You agree to the following fee structure for all payments:

    TeamPayer Convenience Fee on all Player Share Payments: $2.00

    PROVIDER share of each TeamPayer Convenience Fee: $1.00

    League Lab share of each TeamPayer Convenience Fee: $1.00

    Note: Rates listed are BEFORE any merchant terminal, payment processing, or PayPal fees are applied or deducted from the PROVIDER’s share. As shown on invoices, League Lab’s share is not subject to variable merchant, PayPal, or electronic payment processing or recovery rates and fees. When these fees are applied, the PROVIDER’s share will be slightly less than a dollar, depending on the amount of the overall transaction.) For example, a PROVIDER would retain approximately $0.96 when standard merchant fees were deducted.

    Merchant Account Fees

    League Lab recommends certain third party Merchant Account and Online gateway providers for PROVIDERS wishing to add these services. While League Lab works with merchant service providers as a reseller to bundle fees, simplify the approval process, and get discounts for PROVIDERS using our Service, your rates and fee schedule are wholly determined by your contract with the third party Payment Processor who is providing these services, and you should refer to that contract to determine your costs. League Lab’s published Merchant Account rates are typical, but not guaranteed. Some PROVIDERS may not qualify for these rates: Monthly: $35 Each Transaction: 3.5% + $0.25
