      Regulatory Considerations

      Please be aware that the regulations governing the passing of credit card processing fees to card holders differ across states and jurisdictions. It is the responsibility of the childcare provider to determine the legal requirements and regulations in their state regarding the passing of credit card processing fees to card holders. Kindertales does not provide legal advice and is not responsible for any legal consequences that may arise from a merchant’s decision to pass on credit card processing fees to their customers.

       

      By utilizing Kindertales’ payment processing services, the merchant agrees to indemnify and hold Kindertales harmless from any legal action or liability arising from the passing of credit card processing fees to their customers.
