ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The liability limitation defines the maximum financial exposure Mercury bears for claims related to the service. This cap operates as a contractual allocation of risk between the parties and applies regardless of the legal theory underlying the claim.

The updated terms establish that when customers pay invoices you issue through Mercury Invoicing via ACH debit, Mercury will apply a hold period before crediting the funds to your account. The hold period is determined by Mercury in its sole discretion based on risk factors related to the transaction, payer, and payment history, and may range from 1 to 4 business days from the date the ACH debit is initiated. Mercury will display an estimated funds availability date for each incoming invoice payment in your Invoicing dashboard.
