6.2. The Parties agree that the Services Fees are immediately payable by you upon receipt of the relevant Service.

7.1. After we have value dated a Transaction, subject to clauses 7.4 to 7.10, Airwallex will instruct payment of the Net Settlement Amount to Merchant on the later of the following:

(a) without undue delay following receipt of cleared funds from the Payment Method Provider;

(b) at the expiry of the interval/period as reasonably determined by Airwallex or as otherwise agreed between the parties in writing; and

(c) the expiry of any period of deferment pursuant to clause 7.5 in respect of the relevant Transactions.

7.2. We shall, at our discretion, make the Settlement Payment to the Merchant by:

(a) initiating a bank transfer of the Net Settlement Amount to the Merchant Bank Account; or

(b) by crediting the Net Settlement Amount to a Global Account,

in the Settlement Currency. The Customer agrees that a nominated Global Account will be used as the default method in which a Settlement Payment will be made, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties.

7.3. We may deduct the Permissible Deductions from the Aggregate Payment Amount. The Parties agree that the ‘Net Settlement Amount’ shall therefore be an amount equal to the Aggregate Payment Amount after any Permissible Deductions.

(b) Refunds;

(c) Refund Fees;

(d) Chargebacks;

7.5. In addition to our rights under clauses 7.3 and 7.4, we may defer all or part of your Settlement Payment(s):

(a) if, following any deductions pursuant to clause 7.3, such amount is less than the minimum Settlement Payment threshold that we reasonably determine in our sole and absolute discretion (of which we will notify you from time to time), until the total Net Settlement Amount payable reaches that threshold;

(b) where we reasonably believe that a Transaction (including activity which would otherwise have constituted a Transaction) may be fraudulent or involves other criminal activity, until the satisfactory completion of our investigation and/or that of any Regulator, Network or Local Payment Provider or any other third party; or

(c) without limit in amount or time, if we become aware or reasonably believe that you are in breach of or likely to be in breach of your obligations under these Terms.

7.6. Airwallex shall make available for download each day by Merchant a list of all the recorded Transactions during the immediately preceding day for which Payments have been received (the ‘Transaction List’). The Transaction List shall set out our determination of the Aggregate Payment Amount and the Net Settlement Amount and, as a business record, shall be deemed to be correct unless proven otherwise.

7.7. We may suspend the processing of all or any Transactions, Refunds, Chargebacks or Claims where we have the ability or are obligated to do so and where we reasonably believe that a Transaction, Refund, Chargeback or Claim (including activity which would otherwise have constituted a Transaction, Refund, Chargeback or Claim) may be fraudulent or involves any criminal activity, until the satisfactory completion of our investigation and/or that of any Regulator, Network or Local Payment Provider, or any other third party.

7.8. In the event that we exercise our rights under this clause 7 we shall notify you of any such action and the reasons for it, unless we are prohibited from doing so under Applicable Law. Subject to reasonable security measures and Applicable Law, we will notify you before any suspension of processing under clause 7.7 if we are able to do so, or otherwise immediately after such suspension.

7.9. Settlement Payments shall be paid in the Settlement Currency unless agreed otherwise in writing by you and us from time to time. Where we apply a currency conversion, we shall use our prevailing exchange rate of the day determined by us or such other rate as we may agree in writing.

7.10. In addition to the foregoing, we may, acting reasonably, impose a reasonable Reserve on all or a portion of your Settlement Payment. If we impose a Reserve, we will provide you with a notice specifying the terms of the Reserve. The terms of this notice may require:

(a) that a certain percentage of your Settlement Payment is held for a certain period of time;

(b) that a fixed amount of your Settlement Payment is withheld and shall not be paid to you in accordance with clause 7.2; or

(c) such other restrictions that we determine are necessary to protect against the risk to us associated with our business relationship.

We may impose a Reserve immediately and provide you with the notice after we have imposed the Reserve. You acknowledge and agree that you will not be entitled to interest on the Reserve. Acting reasonably, we may change the terms of the Reserve at any time by providing you with notice of the new terms.

7.11. Settlement Payments subject to a Reserve are not immediately available for payment to your Merchant Bank Account or Global Account (as applicable) for making Refunds. Other restrictions described in clause 7.10(c) above may include:

(a) limiting Settlement Payments immediately available to you;

(b) changing the speed or method of making Settlement Payments to you;

(c) setting off any amounts owed by you against your Settlement Payments and/or requiring that you, or a person associated with you, enter into other forms of security arrangements with us (for example, by providing a guarantee or requiring you to deposit funds with us as security for your obligations to us or third parties).

7.12. We may hold a Reserve for 180 days or longer as reasonably required by us taking into account the risk to us and third parties of Refunds, Chargebacks, or any other risk, exposure and/or liability related to your use of the Services. You agree that you will remain liable for all obligations related to your Transactions even after the release of any Reserve. In addition, we may require you to keep your Merchant Bank Account or Global Account or other accounts with Airwallex available for any open settlements, Chargebacks and other adjustments.

11.1. You shall maintain and disclose to Buyers at the time of purchase a policy for the return of goods or cancellation of services. You shall not give a cash refund to a Buyer for a payment made using a Card or Local Payment Method, unless required by Applicable Law, nor accept cash or other compensation for making a refund to a Card or Local Payment Method.

11.2. The form and procedure for making Refunds shall depend on the relevant Payment Method. A Refund only arises in circumstances where there is an originating Transaction which is being reversed or partially reversed. We will not be able to process any Refund request if (i) the amount of the Refund exceeds the amount of the originating Transaction or (ii) you do not have a sufficient balance in your Aggregate Payment Amount or sufficient funds in your account with Airwallex. We shall be authorised to deduct the Refund from your Aggregate Payment Amount and the funds in your account with Airwallex.

11.3. A Refund request may be processed only if it is made within one (1) year from or such other period as determined by the Network or Payment Method Provider from the date of the originating Transaction.

11.4. We may refuse to execute a Refund if it does not meet the conditions in these Terms or is prohibited by Applicable Law or Sanctions Laws. If we do refuse to execute a Refund, within the time for processing the Refund we will notify you (i) (unless prohibited by Applicable Law or Sanction Laws) of the refusal, (ii) (if possible) the reasons for such refusal, and (iii) (where it is possible to provide reasons for the refusal and those reasons relate to factual matters) the procedure for correcting any factual mistakes that led to it. Any request for a Refund that we refuse will be deemed not to have been received for the purposes of execution times and liability for non-execution or defective execution under Applicable Law.

11.5. Where we execute a Transaction or Refund in accordance with details provided by you, the Transaction or Refund will be deemed to have been correctly executed by us and any other payment service provider involved. Where the details provided by you are incorrect, we are not liable for the non-execution or defective execution of the Transaction or Refund, but we will make reasonable efforts to recover the funds involved in such a Transaction or Refund and we may charge you for any such efforts.

11.6. We will apply a Refund Fee as set forth in the Fee Schedule to any Refunds that are requested even where the Refund is not actually processed. You acknowledge that Refunds may not be processed by us where you have insufficient funds in the relevant currency.

11.7. You agree that each Refund Fee represents a debt immediately due and payable by you to us.

11.8. We have the right to initiate Refund or modify and reverse transactions without your consent when (i) we suspect that a transaction is fraudulent or is in breach or contravention of these terms, our internal policies and procedures or Applicable Laws, (ii) we receive guidance, advice or instructions from the Network or governmental or regulatory authorities, or (iii) we suspend or terminate any of our services.

11.9. Without limiting any of the foregoing in this clause 11, in the event that we process a Refund, if such Refund relates to a Transaction that was subject to the FX Conversion Fee, you agree that the conversion of the relevant currency for the purposes of the Refund will be subject to the FX Conversion Fee and the prevailing relevant exchange rate as determined by Airwallex.

12. CHARGEBACKS

12.1. You agree that each Chargeback and each Assessment represents a debt immediately due and payable by you to us.

12.2. You acknowledge and agree that you are required to reimburse us for Chargebacks in circumstances where you have accepted payment in respect of the relevant Transaction, even if you are under no legal liability in respect of the supply of the goods or services concerned. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, we shall notify you as soon as reasonably practicable of any applicable Chargebacks and Chargeback Costs which have occurred or been incurred.

12.3. Any Chargebacks for which you are required to reimburse us shall correspond to the whole or part of the Transaction Value in the currency of the original Transaction. Unless you have an account with us in the currency in which the Chargeback is charged, the Chargeback amount may be converted to the Settlement Currency from the currency of Chargeback at the exchange rate quoted to us or as we otherwise determine.

12.4. Pre-chargeback Services.

(a) We may, acting resonably, require you to use pre-chargeback services (“Pre-chargeback Services”) based on the Chargeback ratio or other risk factors of your transactions. The Pre-chargeback Services allow you to automatically refund certain disputed transactions to the Buyer. If you are required to use Pre-chargeback Services, we will provide you with a notice and specify any thresholds applied to automatic refunds. Additionally you agree to pay the relevant service fees (“Pre-chargeback Service Fees”).

(b) You acknowledge the Pre-chargeback Services are ultimately provided by affiliates of Networks or other third parties (“Pre-chargeback Service Provider”).

(c) You acknowledge and agree that we may set up, configure, change or update thresholds or other parameters (“Pre-chargeback Parameters”) in relation to each Pre-chargeback Service. Any changes or updates to the Pre-chargeback Parameters made by us shall become effective immediately and notified to you thereafter.

(d) You authorise us to share any Customer Data with the Pre-chargeback Service Providers where they request such data in connection with their provision of the Pre-chargeback Services.

(e) if you indicate that you do not wish to use the Pre-chargeback Services, subject to clause 12.7, you may terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause 19. To avoid doubt, and in accordance with clause 12.7, you will be required to use the Pre-chargeback Services from the date that you elect to terminate the Agreement, until the date that this Agreement comes to an end.

12.5. In the event that you wish to dispute a Chargeback, it is your responsibility:

(a) to prove to our reasonable satisfaction (which shall, subject to clause 12.6 and without limitation, be conditional upon the relevant Network or Local Payment Provider, as the case may be, confirming it is satisfied) that the debit of the Buyer’s account was authorised by such Buyer; and

(b) (additionally) to provide us with such other evidence as we or any Network or Local Payment Provider may require you to provide in support of your claim. The evidence required to be provided will depend on, among other things, the nature of the Chargeback, and may vary accordingly.

12.6. Subject to the Network Rules, we shall not be obliged to investigate the validity of any Chargeback or Assessment. You acknowledge and agree that any decision or determination of the relevant Network or Local Payment Provider as to the validity and extent of any Chargeback and/or Assessment shall be final and binding.

12.7. As Chargebacks may arise a considerable period of time after the date of the relevant Transaction, you acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding any termination of these Terms for whatever reason, we shall remain, without prejudice to clause 7, entitled to (i) use Pre-chargeback Services on your behalf to process pre-chargeback requests in relation to Transactions effected during the term of these Terms and recover Pre-chargeback Service Fees or other relevant costs from you (and, where relevant, from any Person who has provided us with a guarantee or security relating to your obligations under these Terms); and (ii) recover Chargebacks and Chargeback Costs from you (and, where relevant, from any Person who has provided us with a guarantee or security relating to your obligations under these Terms) in respect of all Chargebacks that occur in relation to Transactions effected during the term of these Terms.

12.8. If you wish to dispute a Chargeback or Assessment, you will do so in accordance with the applicable procedure set out in the Network Rules. In the case of a disputed Chargeback or Assessment, you must provide us within any specified timeframe with the evidence required by us, the Network or the Local Payment Provider.

12.9. We will apply a Chargeback Fee as set forth in the Fee Schedule to any Chargeback.

12.10. We may suspend all or part of the Services if the ratio of Chargebacks to Transactions is excessive or we otherwise consider, in our sole and absolute discretion, that the total volume or value of Chargebacks is excessive.

12.11. Without limiting any of the foregoing in this clause 12, in the event of a Chargeback that relates to a Transaction that was subject to the FX Conversion Fee, you agree that the conversion of the relevant currency for the purposes of the Chargeback will be subject to the FX Conversion Fee and the prevailing relevant exchange rate as determined by Airwallex.

13. INFORMATION REQUEST & PERIODIC REVIEWS

13.1. If we request any transaction data or proof of a Transaction, you shall provide the original receipts and relevant Transaction records to us via e-mail within two (2) Business Days after the receipt of our request.

13.2. You shall assist us and any Payment Method Provider in handling properly all complaints from Buyers on the relevant Payment Method, and shall implement reasonable suggestions put forward by us or the Payment Method Provider, within a reasonable timeframe.

13.3. You shall, at your own expense, cooperate with us, Network, Payment Method Provider or Regulator regarding any investigation, enquiry or proceedings and provide any information or records as reasonably requested by the relevant party.

13.4. Airwallex may carry out a periodic review of your use of the Services once during each calendar year, or at any time if Airwallex determines that:

(a) the Transaction Mix figures differ from the Transaction Mix figures you previously provided to Airwallex; or

(b) the Transaction Mix figures that Airwallex used to calculate any Service Fee.

If the actual or projected Transaction Mix figures materially differ from previous Transaction Mix, then Airwallex may revise the Service Fees based on the then current or projected Transaction Mix (as reasonably determined by Airwallex) by giving you thirty (30) days’ written notice ("Fee Change Notice Period"). If you do not accept the revised Service Fees within the Fee Change Notice Period, you must terminate this Agreement by giving thirty (30) days’ written notice to Airwallex, otherwise those revised Service Fees will become binding on you under these Terms (unless you and Airwallex otherwise agree in writing) upon the expiration of the Fee Change Notice Period.

13.5. You must promptly provide us with any information reasonably requested by Airwallex in relation to any periodic review carried out under these Terms.

14. FOREIGN CURRENCY & CURRENCY CONVERSIONS

14.1. Settlement Currency. As and where supported by the relevant Payment Method Providers, Airwallex will process Transactions and pay Settlement Payments to you in the Settlement Currency. You acknowledge that Airwallex is not obliged to process any Transaction, or settle a Settlement Payment to you, in a currency that is not a Supported Currency.

14.2. Pricing structure for Card Transactions. You acknowledge that we may agree on a 'blended' pricing structure or an 'Interchange++' pricing structure with you in respect of Card Transactions. For the 'blended' pricing structure, you acknowledge that the underlying interchange fee component of the Service Fees for Card Transactions is calculated by Airwallex based on the Transaction Mix figures that you report to Airwallex from time to time, as required under these Terms. Under the ‘Interchange++' pricing structure, you acknowledge that Airwallex calculates the underlying interchange fee component of the Service Fees for Card Transactions based on the actual interchange fee that is attracted by the relevant Transaction, according to interchange pricing published (and varied) by the Card Networks from time to time.

14.3. Foreign Currency Settlement Fee. Subject to clause 14.5, if the Transaction currency is in any other currency other than Australian dollars, and we pay the Settlement Payment to you in that other currency, then Airwallex will charge you a Foreign Currency Settlement Fee on the Transaction Value. For example, if the Transaction currency is in USD and the Settlement Payment is made in USD, we will charge you a Foreign Currency Settlement Fee.

14.4. FX Conversion Fee. Subject to clause 14.5, if we pay the Settlement Payment to you in a Settlement Currency that is different from the Transaction currency, then Airwallex will charge you a FX Conversion Fee on the Transaction Value. For example, if the Transaction is in USD and we settle AUD to you, we will charge you a FX Conversion Fee.

14.5. Applicability of Foreign Currency Settlement Fee and FX Conversion Fee. The Parties acknowledge and agree that:

(a) the Foreign Currency Settlement Fee and the FX Conversion Fee will apply in respect of all Card Transactions unless an 'Interchange++' pricing structure has been agreed with you in writing in respect of Card Transactions, in which case only the FX Conversion Fee will be applicable to such transactions; and

(b) the Foreign Currency Settlement Fee is not applicable to LPM Transactions.

14.6. Currency conversions by Airwallex and Payment Method Providers. You acknowledge and agree that:

(a) a Payment Method Provider may convert the Transaction currency into another currency before it is received by Airwallex using the prevailing exchange rate(s) determined by the Payment Method Provider; and

(b) Airwallex may convert the Transaction currency or, if applicable, the currency received from a Payment Method Provider under clause 14.6(a), using the prevailing exchange rate determined by Airwallex into the Settlement Currency before making a Settlement Payment to you.

In relation to certain Transactions in currencies not directly supported by Airwallex, more than one currency conversion may be required under this clause 14.6 to convert a Transaction currency to the Settlement Currency. For example, if a Transaction is made via a Payment Method Provider in an exotic currency that Airwallex does not directly support, that Payment Method Provider may convert and settle the relevant Transaction currency in USD to Airwallex and, if your Settlement Currency is AUD, Airwallex may convert that USD amount to AUD and pay it to you as the Settlement Payment.

14.7. Supported Currency changes. Without limiting any of our rights under these Terms, Airwallex may add, restrict or remove any Supported Currency from time to time during the Term and, without limiting the foregoing, a Payment Method Provider may add, restrict or remove a currency they support from time to time.

14.8. Buyer warnings. You are solely responsible for giving any notices, warnings or disclaimers regarding prices and other amounts displayed to a Buyer when making a proposed Transaction (whether the Transaction is to be in Australian Dollars or any other currency) including, but not limited to, warning a Buyer that they may be charged foreign currency fees by their card issuer and providing any other warnings required by Applicable Law in relation to a Transaction involving a foreign currency.

14.9. You acknowledge and agree that, to the extent that the FX Conversion Fee applies to any reversal of the original Transaction by us under these Terms (including, but not limited to, a Refund or Chargeback) (a "Reversal"), you acknowledge and agree that the Merchant bears the risk of any movement in exchange rate between the time of processing the original Transaction and the time of processing the relevant Reversal.
