You must not request authorization or an update on accounts that have returned a response of “Closed Account” or submit inquiries for the EnsureBill Services on behalf of any other entity.

  1. Request an update for every participating account in your customer database at least once every 180 calendar days;

  4. Ensure that information received from the EnsureBill Services is properly incorporated into your customer database for utilization in future transactions;

Client shall not: (a) interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the ThreatMetrix Services, our proprietary payment system, or the data contained therein; or (b) attempt to gain unauthorized access to the ThreatMetrix Services, our proprietary payment system, or its related systems or networks. You will provide such attribute information to us as may be necessary for us to provide to you the ThreatMetrix Services.

c.               Limitations. The ThreatMetrix Services analyze the activities and other attributes of a device used in a transaction, and provide information and a rating score based on the data analyzed and the business policies you define. The ThreatMetrix Services provide information as to whether the device contains attributes which correlate to a device used in a fraudulent transaction, but do not determine the eligibility of your customer (or any other individual) for credit.

If any terms of this agreement conflict with the Rules, including PCI DSS, the Rules will govern.

3.3 THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS

You must make sure that such third parties comply with the Rules (including PCI DSS) and Laws. You must notify Partner Provider if you use third party service providers. If there is unauthorized access to Cardholder data in the possession of you or your agents, you must immediately notify Partner Provider and cooperate with us regarding reasonable requests for information regarding the compromise.

3.4 PROHIBITED PRACTICES
You will not present for processing or credit, directly or indirectly, any transaction not originated as a result of a Card transaction directly between you and a Cardholder or any transaction you know or should know to be fraudulent or not authorized by the Cardholder. We will refer perpetrators of fraudulent transactions, in our discretion, to the appropriate law enforcement agency. You must not honor any Card that is expired or listed on a current Electronic Warning Bulletin file, regardless of whether authorization has been obtained. You must not request an ACH transfer that violates the Rules or Laws. You agree not to initiate any ACH debits or credits to or from a savings account, or a foreign bank or the branch of a foreign bank in a U.S. territory. The term foreign bank does not include: (i) A U.S. agency or branch of a foreign bank; and (ii) An insured bank organized under the laws of a U.S. territory. You may not split transactions into multiple Card transactions except where: (a) partial payment is entered on the transaction record and the balance of the transaction amount is paid in cash or by check at the time of transaction; or, (b) the amount represents an advance deposit in a Card transaction completed in accordance with this agreement and the Rules.

Your right to use our marks and the Card Brand marks will cease upon termination of this agreement and you agree not to contest the ownership of the marks for any reason.

4.   ACCEPTING PAYMENT

4.1 CARD ACCEPTANCE
You will honor, without discrimination, any valid Card properly tendered by a person asserting to be the person in whose name the Card is issued (“Cardholder”). Terms specific to American Express cards are set forth in section 5. You may elect not to accept Visa and/or MasterCard branded debit cards, but you must provide Rev19 with prior written notice of such election. You will properly disclose to the Cardholder, at the time of the Card transaction, your name, return policy, and other limitations you may have on accepting returned merchandise. Your refund polices for purchases made with a Card must be at least as favorable as your refund policy for purchases made with any other form of payment. Our name will appear in conjunction with your name on Cardholders’ statements. You will not accept any payments from a Cardholder relating to previous charges for merchandise or services, and if you receive such payments, you will promptly remit them to us.

4.2 CARD AUTHORIZATION
No later than 72 hours from the time you initiate a transaction, but prior to completing it, you will request an authorization for the transaction using equipment meeting specifications determined by Rev19. This authorization request must include your name and account identifier, the Card expiration date, the ZIP code of the customer’s billing address, and the total amount of the transaction, including taxes.  Rev19 may also require additional information in your request, such as: (a) CVV2 code or the equivalent; (b) a brief description of the goods or services involved; (c) the transaction authorization number; and, (d) if applicable, adjacent to the signature line, a notation that all sales are final. When authorization is obtained, you will be deemed to warrant the identity of the customer as the Cardholder.  Authorizations are not a guarantee of acceptance or payment of a transaction and do not waive any provision of this agreement, or otherwise validate a fraudulent transaction or a transaction involving the use of an expired Card.  We may refuse to authorize any transaction.

4.3 SALES TRANSMITTALS
You will retain a copy of the sales transmittal for the completed transaction in accordance with the Rules for 25 months or such longer period as the Rules may require. Within three business days of our request, you will produce copies of sales transmittals and other transaction evidence, otherwise Rev19 will have chargeback rights with respect to such transactions.

4.4 RECURRING TRANSACTIONS
You must obtain the Cardholder’s prior written consent for recurring transactions, including a description of the product and the frequency and duration of the recurring charge, and notify the Cardholder that he or she may cancel recurring billing charges at any time. You must retain evidence of such written consent for 24 months from the date you submit the last recurring billing charge. You will honor any Cardholder cancellation, and if this agreement is terminated for any reason, you will, at your own cost, advise all Cardholders to whom you submit recurring billing charges that you no longer accept the Card for amounts owed.

4.5 ACH PROCESSING
To enable you to make and accept ACH payments, you authorize us to originate credit or debit records for the purpose of a funds transfer (“Entries”) into the ACH network. We will use reasonable efforts to originate Entries on your behalf in accordance with this agreement. You must only submit Entries for bona fide transactions with your customers made in the ordinary course of business in accordance with this agreement, the Rules, and Laws. You shall obtain and maintain appropriate authorizations in accordance with the Rules from each of your customers for each ACH transaction. All disputes between you and any of your customers relating to any ACH transaction must be resolved between you and that customer. If Rev19 receives any notice of an ACH dispute or NACHA inquiry, we will forward such notice directly to you. Rev19 bears no financial responsibility for any disputed transaction. You must maintain an unauthorized return rate, as described in the NACHA Regulations, below 0.5% of originating debits.

5.         AMERICAN EXPRESS
Important Note: The following sections apply only if you accept American Express Cards. If there is a conflict between any of the following sections and any other section of this agreement as it applies to American Express Cards, the following sections will govern.

5.1 CUSTOMER SERVICE INFORMATION
You must maintain customer service information that is readily available for review by American Express Cardholders transacting with you. The customer service information should provide clear instructions on how to contact you, including an active customer service email address and telephone number.

5.2 THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARY.
You understand and covenant that you are not a third-party beneficiary under our agreement with American Express, including all schedules and exhibits, or the American Express Rules. You acknowledge and agree that American Express is a third-party beneficiary under this agreement between you and Rev19. This means American Express has the right, but not the obligation, to enforce the terms of this agreement against you.

5.3 AUTHORIZATIONS
You authorize us to submit American Express Card transactions to, and receive payment from, American Express on your behalf. You authorize us to disclose Card transaction data and data about you to American Express, its affiliates, agents, subcontractors, and employees, and further authorize these entities to use such information to perform services, operate and promote the American Express network, perform analytics and create reports, and for any other lawful business purpose, including as described in the American Express Rules. You authorize American Express to use your name, address, and website address in any media.

5.4 AMERICAN EXPRESS ARBITRATION
Any dispute between you and American Express shall be resolved on an individual (not class) basis by binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association or JAMS. You will be responsible for paying your share of any arbitration fees (including filing, administrative, hearing or other fees), but only up to the amount of the filing fees you would have incurred if you had brought a claim in court. American Express will be responsible for any additional arbitration fees. American Express will not elect arbitration for any claim you properly file in a small claims court so long as such claim is pending only in that court.

6.         DISPUTES

6.1 YOUR DUTY TO MONITOR
Rev19 will not, and has no obligation to, confirm the validity of the recipient or the underlying transaction pursuant to which funds are transferred. We assume no liability for any unauthorized transfer request and the attendant transfer of funds, unless and until we receive appropriate and timely notice by you of the unauthorized transfer requests. You must promptly and consistently inspect your transaction history.  Immediately report any possible errors.

6.2 DISPUTES, INQUIRIES, AND CHARGEBACKS
All disputes between you and any of your customers relating to any ACH transaction must be resolved between you and that customer. If Rev19 receives any notice of an ACH dispute or NACHA inquiry, we will forward such notice directly to you. Working with Provider Partner, we will handle Card Brand inquiries about your card transactions, in addition to disputes between you and a customer involving card payment transactions. Based on customer disputes we may reverse Card transactions (“chargebacks”), and we will offset the value of such chargebacks from monies owed to you. You must not reenter or reprocess any Card transaction that has been charged back, but instead allow the chargeback process to proceed to its conclusion as described in each Card Brand’s Rules. If you disagree with a chargeback, you may request a chargeback reversal within the applicable Card Brand’s timeline in its Rules. “Excessive Activity” means: chargebacks in excess of .50% of the transaction ratio of your Card transactions; or, chargebacks in excess of .50% of the transaction ratio of the dollar amount of your Card transactions; or, returns in excess of 3% of the transaction ratio of your Card transactions; or, denied transactions in excess of 5% of the transaction ratio of your Card transactions. The existence of Excessive Activity will be a breach of this agreement and may result in action as we deem necessary, including, but not limited to, termination or suspension of processing privileges or creation or maintenance of a reserve. We may revoke or reverse any credit given to you where: (i) the Card transaction was not made in compliance with this agreement and the Laws, Rules, and Policies; (ii) the Cardholder disputes liability to us for any reason, including but not limited to those chargeback rights enumerated in the Rules; (iii) the Card transaction was not directly between you and the Cardholder; or (iv) a deposit to you was made erroneously.

6.3 REFUND CREDITS
You will not submit a credit relating to any Card transaction not originally submitted to us, nor will you submit a credit that exceeds the amount of the original Card transaction.

7. CONFIDENTIALITY & DATA SECURITY

7.1 CONFIDENTIALITY
You must retain in strictest confidence all information and data belonging to or relating to our business, and will safeguard such information and data by using the same degree of care, but no less than a reasonable amount of care, that you use to protect your own confidential information.

7.2 DATA SECURITY
You must keep secure all systems and media containing account, Cardholder, or transaction information (physical or electronic) and destroy in a manner that will render the data unreadable all such media that is no longer necessary or appropriate to store. If you store Cardholder account numbers, expiration dates, and other personal Cardholder data in a database, you must follow Card Brand guidelines on securing such data. You may not retain or store magnetic stripe or CVV2, CVC2, or CID data after authorization. You shall maintain industry “best practices” regarding continuity procedures and systems to ensure security of Cardholder account information in the event of a disruption, disaster, or failure of your respective data storage system and/or facility. You agree to display your consumer privacy policy on your website as well as your security method for transmission of Cardholder data.

8.         FEES, TAXES & IRS REPORTING

8.1 FEES
Fees for the Services are set out in a fee schedule provided to you by Provider Partner.

8.2 DEPOSIT OF FUNDS TO MERCHANT POOL ACCOUNT
Our sponsor banks will deposit to the non-interest bearing pooled account titled in the name of our sponsor bank for the benefit of all Rev19 merchants (“Merchant Pool Account”) all amounts of Card and ACH transactions complying with the terms of this agreement and the Rules. We will instruct our sponsor bank to move funds owed to you from the Merchant Pool Account to an account you designate with Provider Partner.

8.3 ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER AGREEMENT
You authorize Rev19 to initiate, process, transmit, and settle through our sponsor bank ACH debits or credits to the account you specify with Provider Partner (“Designated Account”). Your authorization will remain in effect after termination of this agreement and until Rev19 has received written notice terminating this authorization and all your obligations to Rev19 have been paid in full.  You irrevocably authorize us to immediately debit the Designated Account for the amounts of any chargebacks, ACH returns, fines, losses, and costs we may incur because of your use of the Services. You may change the Designated Account, but no more than once every 90 days, and must promptly notify Provider Partner of any changes.

8.4 RESERVE
Rev19 may, in its reasonable discretion, establish a reserve if it believes there is a risk of potential chargebacks, returns, or any other risk or liability associated with your use of the Services or to ensure current or future payment owed to Rev19.  We will provide you with notice of the reserve and the terms of the reserve. Rev19 may require that a certain portion of your transaction proceeds be held by us in reserve for a certain period of time, or that you make a lump sum payment for the reserve. Rev19 may change the terms of the reserve at any time by providing you with notice of the new terms. Rev19 has the right to use your funds in the Merchant Pool Account or funds otherwise owed to you to establish, increase, or maintain funds in reserve.  We may hold a reserve as long as we deem necessary to mitigate risks associated with your transactions. You understand and agree that if you are required to establish a reserve, you have an obligation under this agreement to maintain at all times the balance in the reserve set by Rev19.  Rev19 may, without notice, apply funds designated as reserves against any outstanding amounts owed to us under this agreement.  Rev19 may also debit the reserve to exercise its rights under this agreement to collect any amounts due to us including, without limitation, rights of set-off and recoupment. You agree that you are liable for all obligations associated with your use of the Services even after the release of any reserve. You will not be entitled to a return of any sums remaining in reserve for up to 270 days following termination of your use of the Services.

8.5 ADJUSTMENTS
All transactions and deposits are subject to our audit and final verification, and may be adjusted for inaccuracies.  All credits provided to you are provisional and subject to chargebacks and adjustments in accordance with the Rules, whether or not a transaction is charged back by the Card issuer.

8.6 TAXES & IRS REPORTING
To comply with IRS 1099-K reporting requirements, we may be required to file a form 1099-K with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS). We may collect federal backup withholding upon transaction settlement, on behalf of the IRS, from you if you do not supply your legal name, SSN or EIN, or if you fail to respond to a request from us to verify the same.
