4. International Contractor Payments Service
Provided that Customer and International Contractor meet their obligations and comply with the terms of the International Contractor Payments Agreement, Gusto will provide Customers and International Contractors with the International Contractor Payments Service. The primary features of the International Contractor Payments Service will (i) allow Customers to submit basic information on behalf of and electronically send invitations to International Contractors to onboard to Gusto; (ii) collect personal information from International Contractors as necessary to perform identity screening, such screening as described in Section 9 of this Agreement; (iii) assist Customers with United States Internal Revenue Service recordkeeping requirements for International Contractor Payments through the mandatory intake of the W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E tax forms, as applicable; and (iv) provided that International Contractors successfully complete Sanctions Screening, allow Customers to process wire payments and bank transfers to International Contractors on the Gusto Platform. Gusto reserves the right to add, modify, or discontinue any features of the International Contractor Payments Service.
Customer is solely responsible for ensuring the timeliness of any payment. Gusto will undertake commercially reasonable efforts to initiate the processing of payments according to Customer’s request. Gusto’s standard processing time for payroll and contractor payments is approximately four (4) business days, but if Customer qualifies for one of Gusto’s expedited payroll processing programs (each, an “Expedited Payroll Program”), then subject to the provisions of the Payroll Service Terms, and subject to an Account Administrator approving and submitting payroll Information to Gusto, Gusto will attempt to process Customer’s International Contractor payments in less than four (4) business days. Customer acknowledges that its eligibility for expedited payroll processing programs may be reviewed, modified, or canceled at the sole discretion of Gusto, and Gusto has no obligation to provide expedited payroll processing services to Customer. Processing time is based on business day schedules of the United States and the payment host country and does not include weekends or holidays.
Customer acknowledges and agrees that payments may be delayed due to Sanctions Screening as described in Section 9, and that Gusto has the right to delay or reject the processing of payments pending the interim results or outcome of such Sanctions Screening. Without limiting the scope of Section 15 below, Gusto bears no responsibility for any delays, failures, errors, bouncebacks, or modifications to processing schedules due to eligibility checks or Sanctions Screenings, or for any act or omission by a third party including but not limited to: the recipient bank, Third-Party Services, regulatory agencies or authorities, tax authorities, any other financial institution, or any third-party technology provider.
5. Third-Party Services
Customer understands that Gusto will, from time to time, partner with certain Third-Party Services in order to provide the International Contractor Payments Service. These Third-Party Services may include the following services, each of which maintain their own terms of service and privacy policy:
| Third-Party Service | Terms and Conditions | Privacy Policy |
| Wise | Terms and Conditions | Privacy Policy |
| dLocal | Terms and Conditions | Privacy Policy |
| JPMorgan Chase | Terms and Conditions | Privacy Policy |
Gusto is not responsible for the acts or omissions of any Third-Party Service. By using the International Contractor Payments Service, Customer authorizes Gusto to share certain personal information with these Third-Party Services as is necessary to provide the International Contractor Payments Service. This information includes:
Identification Information, including name, address, and other identification information, including Mandatory Personal Information needed for Sanctions Screening as defined in Section 9 of these International Contractor Payments Service Terms;
Financial Information, including bank account and routing numbers, and other such bank information as may be needed in order to transmit a payment to an International Contractor; and

Customer and International Contractor acknowledge and agree that all disclaimers and terms in Section 10 of the Gusto Terms (“Third-Party Services, Websites, and Resources”) apply here in full effect. Third-party services handle your information in accordance with their own practices and privacy policies. Gusto is not responsible for their policies, practices, or handling of your information. For more information, please see Gusto’s Privacy Policy.
Gusto may add or modify this list of Third-Party Services from time to time. If Gusto does so, Gusto shall let Customer and International Contractor know either by posting the modified International Contractor Payments Service Agreement on the Platform or Site or through other communications. It is important that Customer and International Contractor review the International Contractor Payments Service Agreement whenever Gusto modifies it because if Customer and International Contractor continue to use the Platform or International Contractor Payments Service after Gusto has notified Customer and International Contractor of the modification and the modified International Contractor Payments Service Agreement has been posted on the Platform or Site, Customer or International Contractor is indicating to Gusto that Customer or International Contractor agrees to be bound by the modified International Contractor Payments Service Agreement. Use of the International Contractor Payments Service is the equivalent of consent to the current terms and conditions as determined by Gusto or any Third-Party Service Provider.
6. Restricted Activities
User acknowledges and agrees that User will not use the International Contractor Payments Service for any of the activities listed below (“Restricted Activities List”):
activities that violate any US or local law, statute, ordinance or regulation;

7. Bank Account Debiting and Crediting by Gusto and Third-Party Services
Without limiting the scope or applicability of Section 8 of the Payroll Terms (“Bank Account Debiting and Crediting”), Customer authorizes Gusto and any applicable Third-Party Services listed in Section 5 of these International Contractor Payments Terms, to initiate debit Entries to the Bank Account in such amounts as are necessary to fund Customer’s amounts to be paid to any International Contractors; pay any fees or charges associated with the International Contractor Payments Service, including, without limitation, (i) finance charges; and (ii) markups, Third-Party Service fees associated with a currency conversion or payment transaction. Gusto and its Third-Party Services are not responsible for determining whether the bank accounts of any payors or payees have deposit or withdrawal restrictions. In the event that such restrictions prevent the transmission of payment, Customer acknowledges and agrees that any fees or markups associated with that payment and paid to Gusto or its Third-Party Services are nonrefundable.
8. Currency Conversion
When processing an International Contractor Payment using expedited payroll processing programs, Customer may submit amounts to be paid to an International Contractor in either United States Dollars (“USD”) or a foreign currency (“Foreign Currency”). Payments processed using the standard schedule of approximately four (4) business days for International Contractors are only available in USD due to the uncertainty and potential fluctuations of foreign exchange rates over the longer period of processing time. Payments processed in a foreign currency for Customers enrolled in expedited payroll processing programs will be converted using a foreign exchange rate, and the exchange rate will be determined at or around the time that the Customer enters the payment information, and the exchange rate will be subsequently communicated to Customer via an email notification. Gusto’s exchange rate for the payment will be based on: market rates, volatility of the target currency, market conditions, Gusto’s desired rate of return, Third Party Service fees or markups, and other economic or business factors. Currency volatility may cause a delay in payment processing. Customer acknowledges that exchange rates fluctuate dramatically over time and that market conditions and currency volatility may also change dramatically over time. In the event that there is a delay in the transmission of the payment due to factors including but not limited to (i) Sanctions Screening or other eligibility screening processes; (ii) bouncebacks from the recipient International Contractor’s financial institution; or (iii) other factors that Gusto may communicate to Customer, Customer acknowledges that a different exchange rate may be applied to Customer’s payment.
Customer acknowledges that Gusto may implement minimum payment thresholds, which may vary by country and be updated from time to time. If Customer believes that the currency conversion of the International Contractor Payment presented is incorrect, Customer should not submit the International Contractor Payment. Once an International Contractor Payment is submitted, Gusto will (i) debit Customer’s designated bank account for the International Contractor Payment in USD; and (ii) initiate a wire payment to the International Contractor in either the Foreign Currency or USD, as selected by the Customer.
Customer acknowledges and agrees that Customer will be unable to modify or delete an International Contractor Payment after 4pm (Pacific Time) on the business day on which an International Contractor Payment is transmitted or scheduled to be transmitted. As such, Customer should carefully review all information and amounts before submitting the International Contractor Payment, including but not limited to: bank institution number, bank name, transit number, bank account number, and Swift code. Failure to do so may result in the forfeiture of an International Contractor Payment to the extent that an International Contractor Payment is routed to an incorrect bank account.
9. Eligibility and Sanctions Screening
In order to qualify as an International Contractor and be eligible to receive payments through the International Contractor Payments Service, the recipient of any payment must: (i) be classified as an independent contractor and not as an employee under applicable employment laws; (ii) be at least eighteen years of age; (iii) permanently reside and perform the work to be paid via the International Contractor Payments Service in an eligible foreign country; (iv) provide Mandatory Personal Information (as defined below), either directly or through Customer, for the purposes of identity verification, fraud protection, risk assessment, permissible payment review, provision of the International Contractor Payments Service, and compliance with Applicable Laws; and (v) successfully pass Gusto and its payment partner’s screenings related to identity verification, fraud protection, and risk assessment. If an International Contractor does not successfully pass sanctions or related screenings, then International Contractor cannot be paid via the International Contractor Payments Service. “Mandatory Personal Information” is defined as an International Contractor’s: full legal name, full business name and business ownership information including any direct/indirect beneficial ownership or controlling ownership information that may be solicited by Gusto (if applicable), date of birth, permanent residence, mailing address (if different from permanent residence address), foreign tax identifying number, and bank account information. Additional information may be requested and required to confirm eligibility and to complete the sanctions or related screenings.
Customer acknowledges and agrees that Gusto will not refund any processing fees or other markups associated with a payment submitted to an International Contractor if the International Contractor is determined to be ineligible based on the above criteria in Gusto’s or a Third-Party Service’s sole discretion.
10. Provision and Certification of Required United States Tax Forms
In addition to the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 9 of these International Contractor Payments Service Terms, International Contractor must fill out, sign and upload to the Gusto Platform an accurate, complete, and certified copy of either IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E for the purposes of Gusto and Customer’s recordkeeping. International Contractor should carefully read the instructions associated with the instructions for Form W-8BEN or instructions for Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable.
If completing IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, International Contractor must certify under penalties of perjury that: (i) International Contractor is not a U.S. person; (ii) International Contractor is a resident of an eligible foreign country within the meaning of the income tax treaty between the United States and said applicable foreign country; and (iii) the income to which payment is sought via the International Payments Service is: (a) not effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States; (b) effectively connected but is not subject to tax under an applicable income tax treaty; or (c) the partner’s share of a partnership’s effectively connected income.
Once submitted, International Contractor will be unable to modify IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E on the Gusto platform. If International Contractor changes their permanent address or otherwise needs to amend IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, International Contractor agrees to work directly with Customer to provide Customer and
Gusto with such amended Forms. Customer agrees to ensure accurate and updated information is included on any initial or subsequent IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E provided by Contractor.
11. Service Fees and Charges
As part of the International Contractor Payments Service, Gusto will invoice and debit Customer on a monthly basis.

Customer further authorizes Gusto to debit Customer’s designated bank account, as specified by Customer through the Gusto Platform, for all International Contractor Payments Services Fees as they become payable during the Term.
Customer acknowledges and agrees that markups and fees (including any Third-Party Service markups or fees) applied to a payment will be non-refundable in the event that a payment is not processed due to (i) the ineligibility of the recipient International Contractor as determined by Gusto or a Third Party Service pursuant to Section 9, or; (ii) circumstances beyond Gusto’s control including, but not limited to, bouncebacks or errors from the recipient financial institution; Customer’s or International Contractor’s failure to provide or correct information required by any Third-Party Service or other financial intermediary including banks; incorrect payment or banking information supplied by Customer or International Contractor; any act or omission by one of the Third-Party Services described in Section 5; or any other circumstance beyond Gusto’s control reflected in Section 15 or otherwise.
Customer and International Contractor agree that certain taxes may be withheld to comply with tax regulations that any relevant federal, state, or local governments may impose. Any such taxes will be identified on Customer’s monthly invoice and International Contractor’s receipt. Customer and International Contractor are responsible for ensuring timely filing, processing, and payment of any taxes is completed. Gusto will not be responsible for any cost, penalty, interest, etc. for failure to do so.
12. Compliance with Laws
Customers and International Contractors must comply with any and all laws, rules, or regulations applicable to the International Contractor Payments Service (collectively, the “Applicable Laws”). Customer agrees not to engage in any fraudulent, deceptive, or illegal financial practices or activities; or use the Services to: directly or indirectly support any such practices or activities; or carry on any unlawful activity knowing that the transaction is designed in whole or in part to conceal or disguise the nature, the location, the source, the ownership, or the control of the proceeds of specified unlawful activity; or conduct any activity to avoid a transaction reporting requirement under any applicable laws or regulations.
Customer and International Contractor acknowledge and agree that the International Contractor Payments Service does not include: (a) payments to International Contractors not residing and performing work in eligible foreign countries; (b) employment law guidance as it relates to contractor classification; or (c) tax guidance as it relates to U.S. or foreign tax withholding or reporting.

Gusto may also modify, amend, or restate the International Contractor Payments Agreement at any time, in Gusto’s sole discretion. If Gusto does so, Gusto shall let Customer know either by posting the modified International Contractor Payments Agreement on the Gusto Platform or through other electronic communications. It is important that Customer review and agree to the International Contractor Payments Agreement whenever Gusto modifies it because if Customer continues to use the International Contractor Payments Service after Gusto has notified Customer of the modified Customer Agreement, Customer agrees to be bound by the modified International Contractor Payments Agreement.
