Services. First Data (along with the Bank or Debit Sponsor Bank, as described in this Agreement) will provide the Company with services according to the terms of this Agreement, as well as additional services that the parties agree to in writing (together, Services). First Data may provide the Services itself or through its affiliates; and, except for the Bank’s or Debit Sponsor Bank’s specific responsibilities described in this Agreement, First Data is solely responsible for the Services.
|
2
|
Acquiring Services.
|
2.1
|
Bank’s Role. The Bank is a member of the Visa and Mastercard Networks, permitting it to acquire Visa and Mastercard payment transactions. The Bank sponsors First Data as a Member Service Provider under the Network Rules, allowing First Data to process payment authorizations, transmissions, and settlement activities for Visa and Mastercard transactions under the Bank’s direction. With respect to Visa and Mastercard transactions that are part of the Acquiring Services described below, references to First Data include the Bank; however, the Bank’s responsibilities are limited solely to the sponsorship and settlement of certain card transactions submitted in accordance with this Agreement and the Visa and Mastercard Network Rules, and Bank will not have any obligation or liability of any nature in connection with any services of any kind provided by First Data or its affiliates. Specifically, the Bank is: (1) the only entity approved to extend Visa and Mastercard product acceptance to merchants; (2) responsible for educating merchants on applicable Visa and Mastercard Network Rules (available, respectively, at: http://usa.visa.com/merchants/operations/op_regulations.html and http://www.mastercard.com/us/merchant/support/rules.html), which may be provided through First Data; and (3) responsible for all funds derived from settlement that are held in reserve. The Bank’s interests or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned or otherwise transferred to another financial institution that is a member of the Networks; further, Bank may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement to a subsidiary, affiliate, or entity that is acquiring all or any portion of its assets.
|
2.2
|
First Data will acquire the Company’s electronic transactions for payment organizations and networks (together, Networks) identified below (Acquiring Services). First Data will be the Company’s primary provider of the Services during the Term of this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) Company may continue to honor its contractual obligations to other providers of similar services; and (ii) at such time that Company can terminate such contractual obligations without penalty, Company will do so and begin processing such transaction volume through First Data. “Primary provider” will mean that Company will process at least [***] of its transaction volume through First Data, excluding (a) any periods during which Company suffers an outage of Services and (b) any transaction volume that First Data is unable or unwilling to process.
|
2.3
|
Networks. First Data will provide the Company with Acquiring Services for the following Networks:
|
(1)
|
Visa
|
(2)
|
Mastercard
|
(3)
|
American Express
|
(4)
|
Discover
|
2.4
|
Additional Card Acquiring Services.
|
2.4.1
|
Additional Cards. First Data, and not the Bank, will provide the Acquiring Services to the Company for its transactions that are initiated with Cards issued by Networks other than Visa and Mastercard, and that are identified in this Agreement. A Card is a card, code, device, or other means allowing access to a credit, debit, prepaid, stored value, or similar account. An Additional Card is a Card issued by a Network other than Visa or Mastercard
|
2.4.2
|
Additional Card Network Agreements. Payment transactions for Additional Cards are subject to separate agreements between the Company and the Additional Card issuing Networks (Additional Card Network Agreements). The Company will comply with the terms of its Additional Card Network Agreements and obtain any consents required by these Networks to submit Additional Card transactions to First Data for processing. The Company will promptly notify First Data if any of its Additional Card Network Agreements expire or terminate. First Data will not be obligated to process the Company’s Additional Card transactions if Company does not have an effective Additional Card Network Agreement with the applicable Network. First Data and the Bank have no responsibility to the Company for a Network’s performance obligations, responsibilities, or liabilities to the Company under their Additional Card Network Agreements.
|
2.4.3
|
Processing. First Data will only provide the Company with data capture and authorization processing services for transactions initiated with Additional Cards; First Data will not provide settlement services for the Additional Card Networks. First Data will submit settlement files for Additional Card transactions to the appropriate Networks on behalf of the Company. Additional Card transactions will be settled directly between the Company and the corresponding Network according to their Additional Card Network Agreements.
|
2.5
|
Debit Transactions. First Data will also provide the Company with Acquiring Services for its debit Card transactions (Debit Services). First Data will process the Company’s debit Card transactions based on: (1) availability of the debit Networks; (2) whether a debit Card is enabled for a particular debit Network; or (3) other factors. First Data will have discretion to choose any available debit Network when routing a particular debit Card transaction for the Company, subject to applicable Laws. First Data will provide the Debit Services using a financial institution (Debit Sponsor Bank) that is a member of a debit Network that is accessible to the Company and can sponsor acceptance of the Company’s debit Card transactions within the debit Network. First Data will choose the financial institution that acts as the Debit Sponsor Bank for the Company’s transactions. The Debit Sponsor Bank may assign its interests or obligations under this Agreement to another financial institution that is a member of the debit Networks. First Data may also substitute, or assign, the Debit Sponsor Bank’s interest or obligations under this Agreement to another financial institution that is a Member of the debit Networks. References to the term “Bank” in this Agreement include the Debit Sponsor Bank with respect to the Debit Services; however, the financial institution that is the Debit Sponsor Bank is only responsible for the performance obligations described as the Bank’s under this Agreement with respect to the Company’s debit Card transactions.
|
2.6
|
Network Rules. The Company and First Data will comply with all rules, requirements, and standards of each of the Networks (together, Network Rules). Company acknowledges receipt of First Data’s current payments acceptance guide (Payment Acceptance Guide), which will assist the Company with properly accepting and submitting its transactions for processing. Under Network Rules, the Company does not own the Card account, Cardholder, personal, or other payment transaction information generated when a payment transaction is processed using the Acquiring Services. The Company will not use, retain, disclose, sell, or disseminate any Card or Cardholder information: including, without limitation, a) names, b) addresses, and c) Card account numbers obtained in connection with payment transactions except for (1) authorizing, processing, and settling transactions; or (2) resolving chargebacks, retrieval requests, or similar issues related to its transaction. The Company will not reproduce electronically captured Cardholder signatures except as requested by First Data or

|
2.9.1
|

all payment transactions submitted for processing under its merchant identification numbers (MIDs), including, without limitation, all returns, refunds, or chargebacks, whether charged back by Cardholders or Card issuers;

|
2.10.2
|
the transaction is not materially different than the transactions the Company has described to First Data with regard to the products or services sold, the procedures for payments acceptance, or the fulfillment of obligations to the Cardholder;
|
2.10.3
|
the transaction complies with all requirements of the applicable Network Rules, the laws of all relevant jurisdictions, and all other requirements of this Agreement;
|

|
the transaction is in payment of goods or services provided simultaneously with the payment transaction (except for delayed delivery, advance deposit, or other partial transactions specifically allowed under the Network Rules and explicitly authorized by First Data in writing);
|
2.10.7
|
the transaction is not a refinancing of an existing obligation;
|
2.10.8
|
the transaction is valid, collectible, and is not subject to any dispute, setoff, or counterclaim; and

|
in the case of a refund, the transaction is submitted to reimburse the Cardholder for a sale transaction that was previously submitted.

Sales Drafts. The Company will provide First Data a copy of any sales draft(s) upon request.
|
2.12
|
Settlement.
|
2.12.1
|
The Company will identify a bank account held in the Company’s name (the Settlement Account) that First Data will use in connection with all Services. The Company authorizes First Data to initiate: (1) credits to the Settlement Account for proceeds of transactions submitted, and (2) debits to the Settlement Account for any amounts that may be owed or required to be paid under this Agreement as set forth in Section 5. First Data will process credits to the Settlement Account via Automated Clearing House (ACH) entry unless the parties agree to transfer funds by wire. Company hereby authorizes First Data to process debits to the Settlement Account via ACH entry amounts that may be owed or required to be paid under this Agreement as set forth in Section 5.
|
2.12.2
|
The Company may identify more than one bank account as the Settlement Account. If the Company designates more than one Settlement Account, credits to any of these Settlement Accounts will satisfy First Data’s obligations, and successful debits to any of the Settlement Accounts will satisfy the Company’s obligations under this Agreement.
|
2.12.3
|
First Data will initiate a transfer to the Settlement Account of the funds that the Networks deliver for the Company’s Card payment transactions on the same day or next banking day, less any amounts due from Company for fees, refunds, chargebacks, pass through expenses, and its other obligations under this Agreement as set forth in Section 5.
|
2.12.4
|
The Company does not have a property or ownership interest in any proceeds of transactions or funds received by First Data in connection with the Company’s Card transactions (including any funds held in a Reserve) until those funds are transferred to the Settlement Account. First Data’s obligations to fund the Company represent a general obligation and not a property interest in any specific funds.
|
2.12.5
|
All deposits into the Settlement Account are provisional. Cardholders, Card issuers, and the Networks have the right to require reimbursement of transactions, to impose obligations relating to violations of the Network Rules, to assess additional interchange or other assessments, and to impose fees, fines, or charges relating to the qualification of transactions.
|
2.12.6
|
The Company must promptly notify First Data if it fails to receive any settlement funding or if there are any changes to the Settlement Account. Transfer of settlement funds may be delayed or misdirected if the Company provides inaccurate information about, or fails to notify First Data of changes to, the Settlement Account. First Data is not responsible for settlement errors that arise if the Company provides inaccurate information about, or fails to notify First Data of changes to, the Settlement Account.
|
2.13
|
MATCH Reporting. Under some circumstances, First Data may be required to report the Company to the Member Alert to Control High Risk (MATCH) listing or similar listings maintained by the Networks.

The Company authorizes First Data to obtain information from third parties when performing credit risk, security, qualification, and other reviews. First Data, the Bank, or their designees may perform a reasonable audit of the Company’s records related to its performance under this Agreement with 30 days’ advance written notice to the Company, during the Company’s normal business hours, and at First Data’s or the Bank’s expense, provided that in no event may such audits be performed more frequently than once per twelve (12) month period unless (i) required by the Bank, a Network, or an applicable regulatory authority, or (ii) a previous audit discovered material non-compliance with this Agreement.

|
Reserve.
|
6.1
|
If Company experiences a Default Event, Company materially breaches the terms of this Agreement, or if either party provides notice of termination of this Agreement, First Data may require the Company to fund a cash reserve (Reserve) in an amount that reflects First Data’s assessment of risk, as it may determine in its discretion
|
6.2
|
The obligations due to the Company from the Reserve will not accrue interest unless required by applicable Laws.
|
6.3

First Data will notify the Company if a Reserve is established (including its amount) or if the amount of the Reserve is modified.
|
6.4
|
First Data may set off any amounts that may be owed or required to be paid under this Agreement as set forth in Section 5.
|
6.5
|
Although the Company acknowledges that the Reserve is a general obligation of First Data, and not a specifically identifiable fund, if any person claims that the Reserve is an asset of the Company that is held by First Data, the Company grants and acknowledges that First Data has a security interest in the Reserve and, at First Data’s request, will provide documentation to reflect this security interest.
|

The Company must review the Statements and inform First Data of any errors within 120 days following the date that the error was, or should have been, reported. The reporting of any errors will enable First Data to recover amounts or prevent the errors from continuing. First Data will have no obligation to provide refunds for errors that the Company reports more than 120 days after they were, or should have been, reported. The Company and First Data will work together to resolve issues or disputes that arise in connection with the Statements, or the funds credited or debited to the Settlement Account.
|
9
|
Term.
|
9.1
|
This Agreement commences on the later of the dates it is signed by First Data or Company (that date, the Effective Date). The six months following the Effective Date are referred to in this Agreement as the Implementation Period, and, following the Implementation Period, this Agreement will continue for an initial term of 5 years (Initial Term), unless terminated as allowed under the terms of this Agreement. This Agreement will renew for successive 1-year periods (each a Renewal Term), unless either party gives the other 90 days' advance written notice of non-renewal before the end of the Initial Term. Either party may terminate this Agreement for any reason (without cause) during a Renewal Term by giving the other party 90 day's advance written notice of termination. Together, the Initial Term and any Renewal Term(s) are the Term of this Agreement.
|
9.2
|
This Agreement’s “primary provider” requirements will not apply and Company will not be charged any Acquiring Fees during the Implementation Period until Company processes its first transaction through First Data.
|
9.3
