Important Information Regarding Your Merchant Account Terms & Conditions Condensed below are some key terms and conditions that govern our processing of card transactions for you. Please refer to your merchant agreement, the Merchant Operating Guide ( MOG ), and/or the Terms of Service ( TOS ) for a detailed disclosure of the terms governing transaction processing services. If there is a discrepancy between any provision in the merchant agreement, the MOG, or the TOS and these Terms & Conditions, these Terms & Conditions prevail. Your use of our processing services indicates your agreement with these Terms & Conditions, as well as your agreement with the merchant agreement, MOG, and/or TOS, as applicable. Merchant may not set minimum purchase amounts, surcharge card transactions, disburse cash (except on debit card transactions), or require cardholders to provide any personal information (e.g., phone number or address). Merchant may only process transactions for the location registered with us and may not process transactions for any other business or location. Merchant is responsible for identifying the cardholder, verifying the signature and expiration date on the card for card present transactions. Merchant must obtain a Code 10 voice authorization on any suspicious transaction and follow any instructions given by the operator. Merchant must obtain authorization via telephone or electronic device from the designated authorization center prior to completing each transaction. Such authorization, however, is NOT a guarantee of an accepted card transaction. Merchant may not accept mail/telephone order or Internet transactions; accept partial payments; or accept deposits for future services without our prior approval. For mail/telephone order and Internet transactions, Merchant warrants the identity of the cardholder. Payments to Merchant are provisional and subject to chargebacks and adjustments. Merchant is fully liable to us for all transactions returned to us for whatever reason, such returns being known as chargebacks. Merchant agrees to accept all chargebacks and will be liable to us in the amount of any sale that the cardholder or card issuer disputes. Merchant discount fees are calculated on gross volume.

We may change or add to these Terms & Conditions. We will inform Merchant of a change/addition in a periodic statement or other written notice. Merchant will be deemed to have agreed to the change/ addition if Merchant continues to present transactions to us after 30 days following the mailing of the notice. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, changes/additions to fees will be effective upon notice to Merchant, unless a later effective date is provided. We may pass through to Merchant any fee increases imposed by Visa, MasterCard, other payment networks, telecommunications vendors, or other third parties without giving Merchant the right to terminate. 2009 Elavon All rights reserved.
