THIS SUB-MERCHANT SERVICES AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is entered into by and between 2Checkout.com, Inc., an Ohio Corporation with its principal office located at 855 Grandview Avenue, Suite 110, Columbus, Ohio, 43215 ("2CO", "we," "us," and "our"), and you ("Sub-Merchant", "you", or "your").

WHEREAS, Sub-Merchant and 2CO have entered into the Agreement which sets forth, among other things, terms and conditions under which 2CO will provide to Sub-Merchant services that facilitate Sub-Merchant's acceptance of credit and debit card payments for goods and services provided to Cardholders;

WHEREAS, 2CO is party to an agreement with an Acquirer and a Bank under which Acquirer and Bank provide payment processing and Card Organization sponsorship services to 2CO on behalf of Sub-Merchant and other sub-merchants of 2CO;

WHEREAS, as a condition of providing services to 2CO on behalf of Sub-Merchant, Acquirer, and Bank require that 2CO include certain terms and conditions in the Agreement relating to the payment processing services being provided to Sub-Merchant;

ACCORDINGLY, BY CLICKING "I AGREE" YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ALL DOCUMENTS, POLICIES, AND PROCEDURES INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE.

1. 1.1 Relationship

   This Agreement governs your relationship with us and becomes effective when you click "I Agree" ("Effective Date"). You may begin to sell your goods and services ("Products") after we and our sponsoring bank ("Member" or "Bank") have approved your account with us ("Account"). The information gathered by 2CO from you during the online registration process ("Application"), the list of goods and services for which we will not provide services ("Prohibited Products List"), and such other documents, policies, and procedures we require you to conform to, including the Banking Disclosure are all incorporated herein and become a part of this Agreement by reference.

   We provide processing services with respect to debit and credit card transactions including all types of VISA and MasterCard cards, and American Express, PayPal, JCB, Discover, Diners Club (the "Card Organizations") and PIN Debit card transactions, as well as anti-fraud services and customer service ("Services").

   Visa U.S.A., Inc. ("Visa") MasterCard Worldwide ("MasterCard") and DFS Services LLC ("Discover Network") are examples of payment card networks that electronically exchange Sales Drafts and Chargebacks for Card sales and Credits. After a Card purchase is made at the Sub-Merchant's point of sale (which is facilitated by the Payment Facilitator, in this case 2CO), Banks or payment acquirers ("Acquirer") acquire the associated Sales Drafts from Payment Facilitator and then electronically transfer the Sales Drafts through the appropriate Card Organization to the Issuers. These Issuers then bill their Cardholders for the transactions. In order to speed up the payment process, the Issuer transfers the funds back through the Card Organization to the Acquirer at approximately the same time that the Issuer receives the electronic Sales Drafts. Even though the payments under this system are made simultaneously, all payments made through the Card Organizations are conditional and subject to reversals and adjustments. The Acquirer then funds the Payment Facilitator, which in turns funds the Sub-Merchant pursuant to the terms set forth in the Agreement.

   Each Card Organization has developed Card Organization Rules that govern their acquirers and Issuers and the procedures, responsibilities, and allocation of risk for this process. The Card Organizations have also developed rules governing "Payment Facilitators" (MasterCard) and "Payment Service Providers" (Visa and Discover) and their relationships with sub-merchants. In addition, Sub-Merchant is bound by Card Organization Rules. The Card Organization Rules and Applicable Law give Cardholders and Issuers certain rights to dispute transactions long after payment has been made.

   2CO does not decide what transactions are charged back and does not control the ultimate resolution of the Chargeback. While 2CO and the Acquirer can attempt to reverse a Chargeback to the Issuer, they can only do so if the Issuer agrees to accept it or the Card Organization requires the Issuer to do so after a formal appeal process. Sometimes, the Cardholder may be able to successfully charge back a Card transaction even though Sub-Merchant has provided its goods or services and is otherwise legally entitled to payment.

   You acknowledge that all Services contemplated in this Agreement may not be available to you.

2. 1.2 Card Election

   We are intending for you to be able to accept Transactions for all of those credit, debit and charge cards listed above ("Card") and all the other Services designated in this Agreement or any attachment to this Agreement, unless you notify us that you do not elect to accept all the Card types and Services we offer and name those you do not elect to offer. You may change your election of Card types and Services from time to time upon at least sixty (60) days' advance notice to us; we will use reasonable efforts to accommodate your requests in less time but we will not be obligated to do so. Upon our approval of a new Card type or Service, the parties will enter into a supplement to this Agreement ("Supplement"), which Supplement will become an attachment to this Agreement. You will not seek authorization for or submit a Transaction of a new Card type until the parties have entered into a Supplement for it. Unless otherwise directed by us, you will not seek authorization for or submit a Card Transaction of a Card type you desire to discontinue accepting later than the effective date of your notice to us. With respect to inadvertent or intentional acceptance of a Transaction other than the type or service anticipated for your account (including, without limitation, a different Card type), you will also be subject to payment to us of our then-current Transaction fee(s) with respect to such Card, Transaction or service and be liable, obligated and responsible under this Agreement for any such Transaction or service to the same extent as you would be if it was of an anticipated Card type or service.

   You will honor a Card by accepting it for payment. You will not engage in any acceptance practice or procedure that discriminates against, or discourages the use of, any particular Card type elected by you and approved by us, in favor of any competing Card brand also elected and approved.

   For all Cards issued by U.S. Issuers, you will honor all Cards within the Card types elected and approved in accordance with this Agreement. For example, if you elect and are approved to accept Visa credit Cards, you will submit payments from Visa-branded credit Card Cardholders without regard to whether the credit Card is a Visa-branded rewards credit Card or Visa-branded business purpose credit Card.

   You will honor all Cards issued by non-U.S. Issuers. For example, even if you elect to limit your acceptance of MasterCard Cards to MasterCard credit Cards, you will accept for processing a MasterCard debit Card issued by a non-U.S. Card issuer.

   You acknowledge that no party will acquire any right, title, or interest in or to the Marks of any Card Organizations. You will not assign to any third party any of the rights to use the Marks of any Card Organizations.

3. 1.3 Application and Underwriting

   You authorize us and Member to obtain credit reports, including, without limitation, consumer reports and background checks from a credit reporting agency or background checking agency ("Credit Reports"), regarding Sub-Merchant and the owners of Sub-Merchant through any credit reporting agency chosen. Sub-Merchant and the owners of Sub-Merchant authorize us and Member to obtain and use such Credit Reports from time to time for the purpose of evaluating the creditworthiness of Sub-Merchant throughout the term of this Agreement.

   You authorize us to validate any payment method you have on file with 2CO, including the validation of credit cards by charging the card(s) you provide to us with a $1.00 fee that will immediately be voided in order to verify the validity of that credit card.

   2CO may establish an Account for you upon receipt of your Application and prior to the verification of your identity or determination of your creditworthiness; however, unless and until your identity is verified and creditworthiness determined, and you have been approved by Member, no Card Processing Services will be provided to you. You agree to comply with any and all requests for further information by us. Failure to provide additional information, as requested, or if we determine that insufficient information was provided, may result in our suspending or terminating your account.

   If we determine that there is insufficient information to verify your identity or physical address, or we determine that your creditworthiness is unsatisfactory, we may terminate this Agreement without notice. In the alternative, and in our sole discretion, we may request that you provide additional information or fulfill additional requirements to provide security to us and Member, including, without limitation, the execution of a personal guaranty.

4. 1.4 Our Right to Amend or Modify Agreement

   We may amend or modify this Agreement and any such amendment or modification will be effective when posted to our website and will become binding upon you when posted. Provided, however, that (except in the case of amendments or modifications we or Member or Card Organizations determine must be made effective earlier and without regard to your termination of this Agreement, in order to comply with Applicable Law or Card Organizations Operating Rules, or because of any adverse change in your financial condition) the amendment or modification will not be effective as to you if you terminate this Agreement within thirty (30) days of the posting of an amendment or modification to our website. You accept the responsibility of a continuing review of the content of our website to determine whether any amendments or modifications have occurred.

5. 1.5 Use of Subcontractors

   In our sole discretion, we may engage third parties to perform part or all of our obligations under this Agreement, at any time without your consent; provided, however, that such action shall not affect our obligations to you hereunder. You agree that we will utilize Member and a processor to provide the Card Processing Services; we may use other third party companies or banks to provide other kinds of processing services for you. You hereby grant Member and any other such entities access to any information about you that is necessary to enable them to perform credit underwriting, authorization of Transactions, and settlement of Transactions.

6. 1.6 Services

   On and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, we are: (i) acting in the capacity of a Payment Service Provider (under the Visa Rules) and a Payment Facilitator (under the MasterCard Rules) and will provide you card processing services as described herein; and (ii) will provide you with any additional services selected.

7. 1.7 Defined Terms

   All capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings given to them herein or in the Appendix A attached to this Agreement, or the Card Organizations Operating Rules, as applicable.

1. You shall perform those obligations and abide by the restrictions on your activities set forth below:

2. 1. 2.1 Card Organizations Operating Rules and Compliance

      Sub-Merchant acknowledges that Acquirer and Bank must maintain closer controls over high-volume sub-merchants of Payment Facilitator and, therefore, Sub-Merchant must immediately notify Payment Facilitator if it has, or in Sub-Merchant's reasonable opinion will, have greater than $100,000 in annual Card sales volume processed hereunder (based upon the date Sub-Merchant's account is boarded) for any one Card Organization. Further, Sub-Merchant must also immediately notify Payment Facilitator if it has, or in Sub-Merchant's reasonable opinion will, have greater than $1,000,000 in annual Card sales volume processed hereunder ("$1M Threshold"). If Sub-Merchant reaches or exceeds the $1M Threshold, Sub-Merchant acknowledges that Payment Facilitator may terminate this Agreement and Sub-Merchant shall be required to establish a direct contractual relationship with Acquirer, Bank and/or American Express, provided that Sub-Merchant meets Acquirer's or American Express's then-current merchant acceptance criteria, in order to continue submitting transactions for processing. Upon establishing a direct contractual relationship with Acquirer, Bank and/or American Express, Sub-Merchant will be bound by the Acquirer's, Bank's and/or American Express's then-current Card acceptance agreement, including the fees set forth therein.

      You shall comply with the Card Organizations Operating Rules and Applicable Law, however, with regard to Card Organizations Operating Rules; you need only comply with those applicable to Cards. You will review the Card Organizations Operating Rules and Applicable Law from time to time for changes. Card Organizations Operating Rules are available on websites, such as http://www.usa.visa.com/merchants, http://www.mastercardmerchant.com and http://www.americanexpress.com/merchantopguide, as those links may be changed from time to time.

      The Card Organizations have the right to enforce any provisions of the Card Organization Rules and to prohibit Sub-Merchant and/or 2CO from engaging in any conduct such Card Organizations deem could injure or create a risk of injury to the Card Organization, including injury to reputation, or that could adversely affect the integrity of the interchange system and/or the Card Organization's confidential information. Sub-Merchant agrees that it will not take any action that could interfere with or prevent the exercise of this right by the Card Organizations.

      In the event of any inconsistency between any provisions hereof and the Card Organizations Operating Rules, the Operating Rules will govern to the fullest extent possible under Applicable Law.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Sub-Merchant covenants and agrees that it is not a third party beneficiary under any agreement or contract between 2CO and a Card Organization.

      5. We may charge you reasonable fees and recover our expenses related to Customer inquiries, Returns, or Refunds.

   8. 2.8 Reversal of Customer Transactions

      1. Returns
         1. A return occurs when a Customer returns Products previously purchased from you ("Return"). You shall accept Returns in accordance with your published Return Policy and agree to provide Refunds, in accordance with your Refund Policy, through 2CO, and not the Acquirer, for Customers who initiate a Return. You shall also accept a Chargeback that we have approved that was initiated by the entity whose brand appears on the Card ("Card Organization"), the Card issuing bank, or the depository bank (in the case of electronic check payment).
         2. You shall have a policy with regard to the return or cancellation of Products ("Return Policy"). Your Return Policy shall be clear, complete, accurate, prominently posted on your billing screen, and available for review by a Customer prior to the Customer being obligated for a purchase of your Products.
         3. Unless otherwise agreed upon with us in advance, your Return Policy shall, at a minimum, indicate that you will not reduce the amount of a Refund by the assessment of a "restocking fee" or any other charge (including shipping charges) for any Return that occurs in accordance with your Return Policy, or for any Refund that we initiate.
         4. Generally, 2CO expects Customers to return goods purchased from Sub-Merchants directly to Sub-Merchants. In the event that 2CO does receive returned goods, we will notify you via email, using the most up to date email address listed on the Account.
         5. Any fees 2CO may pay on your behalf in order to ship to you returned goods sent by the Customer to 2CO are your responsibility. You grant us the right to deduct these fees from the purchase price of Products sold to Customers prior to making any payment to you, to withdraw the funds from your Settlement Account, or to charge the Card you have on file with 2CO if applicable.
         6. If 2CO does not receive a response after sending you notification of our receipt of your good(s), or if you choose not to have the good(s) shipped back to you at your expense, then 2CO will become the rightful owner of such good(s) ninety (90) days after the date 2CO received such good(s). And will have all ownership rights associated therewith.

      2. Refunds

         1. A refund is the actual reimbursement of the cost of Products to a Customer regardless of the basis for the reimbursement ("Refund"). We accomplish the Refund by reversing the amount previously charged to the Customer's Card or account at the Card issuing bank and the appropriate amount is credited to the appropriate Card or account at the Card issuing bank of Customer.
         2. You may only handle refunds and adjustments initiated on the same day as the initial Card Transaction if completed prior to end-of-day batching. In such event, if a Cardholder returns goods or cancels services purchased from you with a Card, or you allow any other price adjustment after a sale has been completed and a refund or adjustment is due to the Cardholder (other than any involuntary refund required by applicable airline or other tariff or by Applicable Law), you will not return cash to the Cardholder but will instead: (i) prepare a Credit Draft; (ii) process each such refund or adjustment as specified in the Card Organizations Operating Rules; and (iii) give the Cardholder a copy of the completed Credit Draft.
         3. If you establish a policy limiting refunds or acceptance of returned merchandise (e.g., no refund, exchange only, in-store credit only, or special conditions), you must follow the procedures set forth in the Card Organizations Operating Rules regarding refunds and returned merchandise.
         4. No refunds, credits, or adjustments relating to a Card Transaction shall be accepted or processed by you after the day following the day on which such Card Transaction was submitted to us for processing. Any such refund, credit, or adjustment requests shall be referred to us for handling directly with the Cardholder.
         5. We may issue a Refund without your prior knowledge or consent in any case we deem appropriate. We will notify you of any Refund and provide you with information regarding the basis for our determination to issue the Refund.
         6. We will debit your Settlement Account in an appropriate amount for all Refunds, regardless of the basis for the Refund.
         7. In the event of a Return or Refund, you agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from liability and further agree to immediately pay us an amount equal to all funds we have paid to Customer on your behalf.

      3. Chargebacks

         1. We are subject to obligations to various Card Organizations which entitle the Card issuing bank to assess a charge or fee for handling bank assisted disputes.
         2. A bank assisted dispute occurs when the Customer or the Card issuing bank disputes the validity of a purchase of Products from you, and the Card issuing bank initiates a reversal of the purchase, providing the Customer with a credit for the full amount of the Products purchased from you ("Chargeback").
         3. In the event multiple Products are purchased as part of a single Transaction, the Customer or the Card issuing bank may initiate a Chargeback for less than all of the Products purchased and the credit granted to the Customer will only be in the amount of the Products for which the Chargeback was initiated.
         4. We may incur charges from our Merchant Service Provider ("MSP" and also known as a "Merchant Account Processor") or the entity that acquires the Transaction for payment ("Acquirer") as a result of a Chargeback. The charges are commonly called Chargeback Fees and are purported to reflect the additional expenses incurred by the MSP or Acquirer as a result of refunding money to the Customer. We may, in turn, assess a fee to you to cover such additional expense. (See Section 4E, entitled "Dispute Charges" and the Fee Schedule attached as Appendix B to this Agreement.)

   9. 2.9 Compliance with Laws and Regulations

      1. You may not use the Service to process Transactions that are in and of themselves illegal or which involve illegal or prohibited products, including but not limited to, those products contained in the Prohibited Products List.

At our discretion, such suspension may continue indefinitely, or result in your permanent suspension, the termination of the Agreement, and the forfeiture of the right to a disbursement of all funds.
      5. You shall comply with all applicable Card Organizations rules, regulations, or guidelines ("Operating Rules").
      6. You shall comply with all applicable national, federal, state, and local laws, rules, regulations, requirements or other standards established by any governmental authority having jurisdiction to control such activities ("Applicable Law"), including, without limitation, those relating to anti-money laundering compliance, Office of Foreign Asset Control compliance, the Federal Trade Commission, bank regulatory authorities, and State and local consumer protection agencies.

       You must ensure that you and your Merchant Providers have, maintain, and use at all times proper controls as specified in the Card Organizations Operating Rules and Applicable Law for secure storage of, limited access to, and rendering unreadable prior to discarding, all records containing Cardholder data, Card imprints and Cardholder signatures. You must not retain or store magnetic stripe or PIN data after a Transaction has been authorized.

       5. Each Card Transaction amount is only for respective merchandise or services (including taxes, but without any surcharge) sold, leased, or rented to a Cardholder by you and, except for any delayed delivery or advance deposit Card Transactions expressly authorized by this Agreement, that merchandise or service was actually delivered to or performed for the Cardholder entering into that Card Transaction simultaneously upon your accepting and submitting that Card Transaction for processing;
       6. With respect to each Card Transaction, you have no knowledge or notice of any fact, circumstance, or defense which would indicate that such Card Transaction is fraudulent or not authorized by the related Cardholder or which would otherwise impair the validity or collectability of that Cardholder's obligation arising from that Card Transaction or relieve that Cardholder from liability with respect thereto;
       7. Each Card Transaction is made in accordance with this Agreement and Applicable Law;

1. Payment of Fees, Charges, and Expenses

   In consideration of the Services provided to you hereunder, you shall pay us, the fees, charges, and expenses for each of the Services, as listed in the Fee Schedule attached as Appendix B to this Agreement. You authorize us to deduct all fees, charges, fines, penalties, wire transfer charges, and other expenses that you are responsible for from the purchase price of Products sold to Customers prior to making any payment to you, to withdraw the money from your Settlement Account, and/or to charge any Card you have on file with 2CO. Your authorizations will remain in full force and effect while you have an open 2Checkout Account and for any Bank Account listed.

   You authorize us to validate any payment method you have on file with 2CO, including the validation of credit cards by charging the card(s) you provide to us with a $1.00 fee that will immediately be voided in order to verify the validity of that credit card.

2. Account Establishment

   The Fees to open an account are set forth in the Fee Schedule attached as Appendix B to this Agreement. Once sales occur on an account, the URL is locked to that account. If you wish to change the URL for your account, a fee will be charged in accordance with the Changes category in the Fee Schedule attached as Appendix B to this Agreement.

   All of the fees described above and throughout this Agreement are immediately due and payable upon demand by 2CO.

3. Transaction Fees

   All Transactions are processed using our SSL encryption network and any other processes made available through our MSP. Payment will be initiated via the secure payment processes.

   A "Transaction" occurs when a Customer purchases a Product of yours which has been authorized for sale; a Customer obtains a Refund of the purchase price for a Product previously purchased as a result of a Return or a Dispute; or a Customer exchanges a Product previously purchased.

   The Transaction Fees are as described under the Transaction Fees category in the Fee Schedule attached as Appendix B to this Agreement.

   We may, in our sole discretion, assess a higher Transaction Fee for certain Products you offer to Customers if we determine that the sale of Products create a potential or actual financial or reputational risk to us, such as those in the Restricted Products List.

   The Transaction Fees shall be deducted from the proceeds we receive for the sale of the Product prior to payment of any funds to you.

4. Cancellation Fees

   A "Cancellation" occurs when Customer, you, or 2CO voids an order for a withdrawal of funds from a Customer's Card account or bank account.

   For any Cancellation which is initiated within forty-eight (48) hours of the time a sale is completed, a full refund will be given to Customer, and we will not assess or collect any Transaction Fee from you.

   For any Cancellation request which is initiated more than forty-eight (48) hours after the time a sale is completed, a full refund will be given to the Customer, but we will assess and collect a Transaction Fee from you based upon the price of the original purchase and, if applicable, a Wire Transfer Fee.

5. Dispute Charges

   A "Dispute" occurs when a Cardholder or the Card issuing bank disputes the validity of a purchase of a Product and initiates a Chargeback.

   In the event a Refund is paid to a Cardholder by us for a purchase that is the subject of a Dispute, you will be obligated to reimburse us for the amount of the Refund immediately. In the event the funds for the purchase that is the subject of the Refund have not been paid to you, we may deduct the amount of the Refund from funds due to you or we may debit the Settlement Account by the amount necessary.

   You may dispute a Chargeback as provided in the Card Organizations Operating Rules, and must submit any dispute in time so that we may in turn submit such dispute in compliance with any requirements for timely submission. Our obligation to you respecting Chargeback disputes is limited to permissible presentment of your dispute to the appropriate Card Organizations or to Member for handling. We will not engage in direct collection efforts against Cardholders on your behalf. Under no circumstance shall you transfer or attempt to transfer your financial liability hereunder by asking or requiring a Cardholder to waive their dispute rights.

   In the event we, in our sole discretion, have any reasonable doubt as to whether you delivered the Product to the Customer, or any reasonable doubt that the Product delivered to the Customer was as you advertised, we may withhold the applicable Purchase Payment until we are satisfied that you have performed your obligations to the Customer.

   In addition to the obligation to fully refund the purchase price paid by 2CO if the dispute results in a Refund, you may be assessed a Dispute Charge in accordance with the Chargeback Fees category in the Fee Schedule attached as Appendix B to this Agreement.

   You shall pay all Dispute Charges upon demand by 2CO via a debit to your Settlement Account.

   Our determination as to whether or not Chargeback Fees are to be assessed to you will be based, in part, upon the "reason codes" selected by the Card issuing bank. The "reason codes" have been established by Card Organizations as the basis for a Customer to dispute the validity of a Transaction when a credit or debit card is used to purchase goods or services.

   Fraud prevention is an important service we provide to our Sub-Merchants. Fees or charges to us related to a Transaction will not be passed through to you if such charges result from fraudulent activity you did not participate in. In addition to active participation in fraudulent activity, you will be deemed to have participated in fraudulent activity if we classify a Transaction as fraudulent, or the Transaction is reinstated at your request and the Transaction subsequently becomes the subject of a Dispute by the Card issuing bank.

   Fees or charges to us related to a Transaction which result from service related issues (e.g., failure to accurately advertise the Products) may result in charges to you, as described in the Chargeback Fees category of the Fee Schedule attached as Appendix B to this Agreement.

6. Change in Fees

   We may change any or all of the fees and charges, or add new fees and charges, with reasonable advance notice of such changes to you via posting the changes on our website. If third party charges are included in, or the basis for, a charge to you and the third party changes those charges, we will provide notice to you if we receive notice from the third party in advance of the effective date of such third party increases. We may charge such increases to you upon the effective date of the third party increase, regardless of whether or not we provide notice to you.

7. Interchange and Assessments

   You are responsible for the payment of interchange on all of your Transactions and any assessments, fees or other charges related thereto which are levied by the applicable Card Organizations or acquiring financial institution, including any increases of such assessments, fees, and charges by the Card Organizations or acquiring financial institution. The interchange due the applicable Card Organization is included in the fees you are to pay to us. You may be billed separately for any other assessments, fees and charges, or any increase in any of them.

8. Chargebacks

   You agree to pay for Transactions successfully challenged by cardholders or card issuers in accordance with applicable Card Organizations Operating Rules relating to Chargebacks and to permit your Settlement Account to be debited for the amount of any Chargebacks.

9. Settlement Account

   You shall at all times maintain a depository account at a financial institution acceptable to us for the purposes of settling daily and monthly activity pursuant to this Agreement, for billing and payment of fees, charges, and expenses due hereunder, and for all other purposes described hereunder or determined to be appropriate by us, the merchant processor, or the acquiring bank (the "Settlement Account"). The name and entity type on the Settlement Account must match the name and entity type of the Sub-Merchant, as listed in the Application. In addition, the Settlement Account must be held at a financial institution in the country where International Seller's business is located, as listed in the Application. You own and control the Settlement Account, and no security interest or lien of any type in favor of a Person exists regarding the Settlement Account or any Card Transaction.

   You hereby authorize us and our merchant processor to make debit or credit entries and adjustments to the Settlement Account as necessary. You will, upon demand by us, execute any documentation required by your financial institution to enable us to make such debits and credits. You further authorize us to confirm with your financial institution that the Settlement Account is in good standing and to reconfirm such any time there is a change in your Account information.

   Nothing herein shall be interpreted to negate our right to invoice you for any amounts you owe us under this Agreement, which amounts shall be immediately due and payable.

10. Reserve

    The following provisions of this Section shall apply to the Reserve:

    We will withhold from you a reserve equal to the percentage of your gross sales ("Reserve") for each day you participate in our programs. The Reserve is in addition to the fees and charges that will be assessed against you and shall be held in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. In addition, we may increase the percentage of gross sales withheld for the Reserve if there are excessive Disputes, Refunds, and Returns, or if we, in our sole discretion, deem that either you or the Products you offer create a financial or reputational risk to us, or if we otherwise reasonably deem ourselves insecure. We may fund the Reserve by deductions from payments due to you, by charges against the Settlement Account, or by making a demand to you for the amount necessary to fully fund the Reserve, which demand you will comply with within one (1) business day. You shall not have the ability to debit the Reserve during the period it remains open and you will obtain and execute the documents required by the financial institution where the Reserve is established that enable us to make such debits and to restrict you from debiting the Reserve. The amount required to be maintained in the Reserve and the terms and conditions for maintaining the account shall be established by us, in our reasonable discretion. Upon termination of this Agreement, we may require an additional Reserve to cover possible indebtedness to us for Transactions initiated prior to termination. The Reserve will be maintained after the termination date of this Agreement until we determine that the release of the funds to you is prudent, in our best interest, commercially reasonable, and all of your contingent liabilities are fully resolved. Upon expiration of this period, any balance remaining in the Reserve will be paid to you. We will inform you of any charges debited to the Reserve during this period. You hereby grant us a security interest in the Reserve and all proceeds thereof to secure all fees, costs, and charges due in accordance with this Agreement. The Reserve will be separate from the Settlement Account. You shall have no right of withdrawal from the Reserve. If we request, we, you and the financial institution where the Reserve is held will enter into an authenticated agreement requiring the financial institution to abide by our directions with regard to the funds in the Reserve applicable to you. In addition to any regularly required Reserve, we may, at our sole discretion, direct funds to the Reserve and withhold payment to you at any time that we become concerned about any aspect of your business including, but not limited to concerns about the operation, management or financial performance of your business, or concerns about the Products you offer for sale.

    You will not at any time during the term of this Agreement, or until all amounts due under this Agreement have been paid in full, grant or pledge any security interest or pen in the Reserve, Settlement Account, or Transaction proceeds to any Person, without our prior written consent.

    Upon delivery of the statement described above, we may debit or credit the Settlement Account through the use of the Automated Clearing House ("ACH") for all amounts included in the statement.

In that instance, you agree we may assess you such fees and charges as are permitted by the laws of your state.

We reserve the right to modify the Payment Cycle or offer alternative Payment Cycle options to you at any time.

   We may delay Purchase Payments while we verify certain aspects of any Transaction, including, without limitation, proof of shipment of the Product ("Verification Processes"). We will establish Verification Processes and may, in our discretion, modify them to ensure the quality of products and services you provide.

   In the event we, in our discretion, determine that there is a need for an investigation and analysis regarding fraud, violation of Card Association Rules, violation of our Prohibited Products List, or violation of law relating to the Transactions performed on your behalf, we may withhold payment of Purchase Payments to you without penalty, to enable us to complete such investigation and analysis. If it is determined that there has been fraud, violation of Card Association Rules, violation of our Prohibited Products List, or violation of law relating to the Transactions performed on your behalf, we may withhold payment of the Purchase Payments to you indefinitely.
