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

5.3. Unless stated otherwise, all Service Fees, charges and other payments to be made by you under these Terms are exclusive of VAT and any other Applicable Taxes under any Applicable Law or governmental decree, for which you shall also be liable. Any Tax payable in respect of the Services provided or payments made under these Terms (other than Tax payable on our net income, profits or gains) will be payable by you.

5.4. We will normally settle funds after netting and deducting any amounts owed by you to us. However, if there are still any amounts owed by you to us after such netting and deduction, while all sums are due immediately, they will be payable in accordance with the terms of any invoice issued by us to you.

5.5. We may from time to time vary the Service Fees and/or introduce new charges in addition to the Service Fees, in accordance with Clause 21. In addition, If you are not a Micro-enterprise or Charity, you agree that where the Payment Method Providers, Acquirers or the Networks respectively increase their fees or charges (including any interchange fees and/or network fees), these fees or charges will be automatically added to the Services Fees payable by you to us without prior notice.

6. SETTLEMENT

6.1. After we have value dated a Transaction, subject to Clauses 6.4 to 6.10, Airwallex will instruct payment of the Net Settlement Amount to Merchant on the later of the following:

(a) typically within one or two business days following receipt of cleared funds from the Acquirer or Payment Method Provider. The Acquirer or Payment Method Provider normally settles to us within one business day (or any longer period the Acquirer or Payment Method Provider may take) following receipt of cleared funds from the Network or Local Payment Network. If there is a non-settlement date in any particular settlement currency, associated with the designated settlement currency, no settlement will take place on the non-settlement date in that particular currency);

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

(c) the expiry of any period of deferment pursuant to Clause 6.5 in respect of the relevant Transactions.

6.2. We shall make the Settlement Payment to the Merchant by:

(a) crediting the Net Settlement Amount to a Global Account; or

(b) where agreed in writing with you, initiating a bank transfer of the Net Settlement Amount to the Merchant Bank Account,

in the Settlement Currency. You agree 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.

6.3. 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.

6.4. The Permissible Deductions referred to in Clause 6.3 are:

(a) Service Fees;

(b) Refunds;

(c) Refund Fees;

(d) Chargebacks;

(e) Chargeback Fees;

(f) Chargeback Costs;

(g) Assessments;

(h) Additional Reserve amounts;

(i) Claims;

(j) Local Payment Method Claims;

(k) VAT incurred; and

(l) any other charges or amounts due and payable from you to us or Affiliates under these Terms or otherwise.

6.5. In addition to our rights under Clauses 6.3 and 6.4, we may defer all or part of your Settlement Payment(s):

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

(b) 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.

6.6. 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 in the absence of manifest error or valid dispute by the Merchant shall be final and binding on Merchant in relation to such amounts.

6.7. 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, Local Payment Network, Acquirer or Payment Method Provider, or any other third party.

6.8. In the event that we exercise our rights under this Clause 6, 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 6.7, if we are able to do so, or otherwise immediately after such suspension.

6.9. 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.

6.10. In addition to the foregoing, we may, in our sole discretion, impose a 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 6.2 of these Terms; 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 in circumstances where we reasonably determine such as to mitigate our financial exposure. We may change the terms of the Reserve at any time by providing you with notice of the new terms.

6.11. 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 6.10(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).

6.12. We may hold a Reserve as long as we deem necessary, in our sole and absolute discretion, to mitigate any risks related to your Transactions. 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.

6.13. To secure your performance of these Terms and to comply with Network Rules, you grant to Airwallex a security interest (in the form of a charge) to any Settlement Payments held in Reserve which may be increased as necessary to adapted risk exposure. Airwallex has information rights regarding your financial situation in relation hereto.

10.2. 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 sufficient balance in your Aggregate Payment Amount or sufficient funds in your account with Airwallex. We shall be authorized to deduct the Refund from your Aggregate Payment Amount and the funds in your account with Airwallex.

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

10.4. 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, or rejected by the Acquirer. 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.

10.5. 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.

10.6. Subject to the provisions of Clause 10.5 and where you are a Micro-enterprise or Charity we are liable for:

(a) the correct execution of Refunds unless we can prove to the Buyer and, where relevant, the Buyer’s payment service provider that the Buyer’s payment service provider received the amount of the Refund in accordance with Clause 10.4. Where applicable, on your request, we will make immediate efforts to trace a non-executed or defective Refund and notify you of the outcome and without undue delay refund to you the amount of the non-executed or defective Refund; and

(b) any: (i) charges for which you are responsible; and (ii) interest you must pay,

in each case, as a consequence of the non-execution or defective execution.

10.7. 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.

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

10.9. Without limiting any of the foregoing in this clause 10, 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.

10.10. You must retain all documentation relating to a Refund for a period of at least 24 months, or such longer time as indicated from time to time by us, a Network or Applicable Law.

11. CHARGEBACKS

11.1. We have rights in relation to Chargebacks for charges: (i) which are disputed, in accordance with the procedure described herein; (ii) in respect of which a Buyer has rights under law to withhold payment; (iii) in respect of which there has been actual or alleged fraud, (iv) in respect of which you have not complied with the terms of these Terms (including omitting any transmission data from charge submissions), even if we had notice when we paid you for a charge that you did not comply with and even if you obtained authorization for the charge in question; (v) for which you did not obtain the Buyer’s approval of the full exact amount of the charge prior to submission; and (vi) as provided elsewhere in these Terms.

11.2. You agree that each Chargeback and each Assessment represents a debt immediately due and payable by you to us. We may reverse a Transaction by deducting, withholding, recouping from, or offsetting against our payments to you (or debit your Account) or we may notify you of your obligation to pay us, which you must do promptly and fully. Our failure to demand payment does not waive our rights hereunder.

11.3. 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.

11.4. 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.

11.5. Pre-chargeback Services.

(a) We may, in our sole discretion, 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.

11.6. 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 11.5 and without limitation, be conditional upon the relevant Network, Local Payment Network, Acquirer or Payment Method 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, Local Payment Network, Acquirer or Payment Method 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.

11.7. 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, Local Payment Network, Acquirer or Payment Method Provider as to the validity and extent of any Chargeback and/or Assessment shall be final and binding.

11.8. 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 6, entitled to (i) use Pre-chargeback Services 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 (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.

11.9. 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, Network, Local Payment Network, Acquirer or Payment Method Provider. If (i) you engage or participate in fraudulent, deceptive, or unfair business practices, illegal activities, or permit (or fail to take reasonable steps to prevent) prohibited uses of the Card; or (ii) you experience a disproportionately high number or amount of disputed charges or fraud relative to your prior history or industry standards and a Network places you in a Fraud Full Recourse Programme as a result you acknowledge that (a) we or the Network may exercise Chargeback rights without contacting you where a Buyer disputes a charge for actual or alleged fraud; and (b) you will have no right to request a reversal of our decision to exercise our Chargeback rights.

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

11.11. 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.

11.12. Without limiting any of the foregoing in this clause 11, 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.

12. INFORMATION REQUEST & PERIODIC REVIEWS

12.1. 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 of our request.

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

12.3. You shall, at your own expense, cooperate with us, a Network, a Local Payment Network, Acquirer, Payment Method Provider or Regulator regarding any investigation, enquiry or proceedings in connection with matters arising out of this Agreement or your relationship with us and provide any information or records as reasonably requested by the relevant party.

12.4. 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.

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

13. FOREIGN CURRENCY & CURRENCY CONVERSIONS

13.1. 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.

13.2. 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 and scheme fees 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 and scheme fees 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. In the event of economic (including but not limited to inflation or currency devaluation), tax or political conditions or other conditions beyond our control in a particular country which alter the financial value or risk of financial exposure to Airwallex or a Network because of the discount rate or the speed of payment, we may, upon seven (7) days written notice to you in that particular country, increase the discount rate and/or change the speed of payment and/or mode of pay (e.g., cease electronic pay) applicable to Transactions made in such region or country.

13.3. Foreign Currency Settlement Fee. Subject to clause 13.5, if the Transaction currency is in any other currency other than Euro, 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.

13.4. FX Conversion Fee. Subject to clause 13.5 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 EUR to you, we will charge you a FX Conversion Fee.

13.5. 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.

13.6. 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 13.6(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 13.6 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 EUR, Airwallex may convert that USD amount to EUR and pay it to you as the Settlement Payment.

13.7. 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.

13.8. 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 Euro 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.

13.9. 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.

SCHEDULE 2 - COMMERCIAL ENTITY AGREEMENT FOR CARD PROCESSING SERVICES

This Commercial Entity Agreement for Airwallex Payment Card Funded Processing Services (‘Commercial Entity Agreement’ or ‘CEA’) is agreed with all Merchants that are Commercial Entities (as defined by Visa Europe, Visa Inc, Visa International, MasterCard Worldwide, UK Maestro, Solo and/or International Maestro, American Express Payment Services Limited and/or American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc. (together the ‘Networks’)). Each such Merchant may be referred to herein as ‘you’ and/or ‘your’. This CEA constitutes your separate legally binding contract for credit and debit card processing for Airwallex transactions between you and the Acquirer (as defined below).

For the purposes of this CEA, ‘Acquirer’ will mean_____________. In this CEA ‘we’, ‘us’ and ‘our’ refer to the Acquirer.

In accordance with the provisions of this CEA, the Acquirer may terminate its provision of credit and debit card processing services and require Airwallex to enforce any of the provisions of the Merchant’s agreement(s) with Airwallex (‘Airwallex Agreement’), agreed by and between the Merchant and Airwallex.

Merchant agrees to the terms and conditions of this CEA. The Merchant further agrees that this CEA forms a legally binding contract between the Merchant and Acquirer; Airwallex is not a party to this contract and acts only as Acquirer’s agent in connection with it. If we propose to change this CEA in a substantial manner, Airwallex will provide you on our behalf with at least 30 days' (or such minimum period as is required by law) prior notice of such a change. After the notice period elapses, you will be deemed to have agreed to all such amendments to the CEA. To amend this CEA but not in a substantial manner, Airwallex will post on our behalf a revised version of the CEA on the Airwallex website(s), and the revised version will be effective at the time Airwallex posts it. If you disagree with any proposed amendments, you may close your Airwallex account before the expiry of the notice period provided in the notice and otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Airwallex Agreement, and this CEA will terminate on the closure of your account. A change to this CEA will be considered to be made in a “substantial manner” if the change involves a reduction to your rights or increases your responsibilities.

Overview of this CEA

When your customers pay you through Airwallex, they have the option of paying you through a funding source supported by Airwallex including a card. In most instances, you will not know the funding source that your customer selected. Since you may be the recipient of a card funded payment, the Networks require that you enter into a direct contractual relationship with an Acquirer who is a member of the Networks. By entering into this CEA, you are fulfilling such Network requirement and you are agreeing to comply with Network rules as they pertain to payments you receive through the Airwallex service.

Acquirer obligations

The Acquirer’s obligations under this CEA are limited exclusively to the processing of the Merchant's card transactions in the territory in which the Merchant is based and the receipt and disbursement of related funds to Airwallex for the account of the Merchant (the ‘Acquiring Services’). All other obligations relating to the provision of the services under the Airwallex Agreement are the responsibility of Airwallex and any issue, dissatisfaction, dispute and/or service dispute of the Merchant relating to any services provided to the Merchant should be notified to and brought against Airwallex in the first instance.

Subject to the terms of this CEA and the Airwallex Agreement, the Acquirer will initiate a payment to the designated account (as made known to the Acquirer by Airwallex) of an amount equal to the value of card transactions processed by the Acquirer for the Merchant under this CEA (less deductions for refunds, fines, assessments, chargebacks, chargeback costs, fees or other Merchant liabilities (whether actual or anticipated) under this CEA or the Airwallex Agreement). Any obligation of the Acquirer to remit funds under this CEA is subject to any rights of the Acquirer under its agreement with Airwallex.

The Merchant agrees that any payment made to Airwallex by the Acquirer under this CEA will be deemed good receipt by the Merchant of the sums due from the Acquirer to the Merchant in relation to the Acquirer’s liability to the Merchant under this CEA. The Merchant will indemnify the Acquirer and keep the Acquirer indemnified against all losses, costs, claims, demands, expenses (including legal expenses) and liabilities of any nature (including any re-settlement obligations under the Network rules) arising from or relating to the payment of funds by the Acquirer into an account in the name of Airwallex in accordance with the terms of this CEA.

Throughout the term of this CEA and after its termination for any reason, the Acquirer will be entitled to defer (for such period as it shall in its reasonable discretion consider appropriate) the date upon which the payment of funds in respect of card transactions would (but for this clause) be due in order to protect its position with respect to actual or anticipated chargebacks, fines, assessments, refunds, chargeback costs, fees, fraud, illegal activity or any other liability of the Merchant or relating to any card transactions or under this CEA or the Airwallex Agreement, whether actual or anticipated. Amounts so deferred may be set-off against any actual chargebacks, fines, assessments, refunds, chargeback costs, fees or any other liability of the Merchant. The Merchant understands and acknowledges that during the term of this CEA and after its termination for any reason whatsoever, the Merchant shall continue to bear total responsibility for all chargebacks, chargeback costs, refunds, fines, assessments, fees, fraud and illegal activity resulting in any way from card transactions processed pursuant to this CEA and all other amounts then due or which thereafter may become due under this CEA or the Airwallex Agreement.

Deposit Transactions. Merchant agrees that it shall only accept payments through Airwallex processing services for bona fide transactions between the Merchant and its customer for the sale of goods or services. Merchant shall not submit a transaction for the refinance or transfer of an existing obligation that was uncollectible. Merchant acknowledges that for Visa and MasterCard payments, Airwallex shall obtain an authorization for transaction amounts prior to completing the transaction.

Split Transactions. Merchant agrees not to split the sale into two (or more) separate amounts in order to avoid obtaining authorisation for the full amount. Except, however in an instance where the Merchant and cardholder agree on a partial shipment of product, or where the transaction qualifies for delayed delivery or special order deposits (such as partial shipments based on inventory on hand), a sale may be split into multiple transactions.

Minimum or Maximum/Surcharges. Merchant agrees that it shall not set minimum or maximum transaction amounts or impose surcharges as a condition of honoring Visa, MasterCard or AMEX cards, unless otherwise permitted in the particular jurisdiction of a transaction.

Visa, MasterCard and AMEX Marks. Merchant is authorized to and must use the Visa, MasterCard and AMEX logos or marks on Merchant’s promotional materials and website to indicate that Visa, MasterCard and AMEX cards are accepted as funding sources for Airwallex transactions.

Discrimination. Merchant agrees that it shall not engage in any acceptance practice that discriminates against or discourages the use of Visa, MasterCard and AMEX in favour of any other card brand unless otherwise permitted in the particular jurisdiction of a transaction.

Access to Cardholder Data. Merchant acknowledges that where it has access to Cardholder Data (defined as the cardholder’s card number, expiration date, and CVV2) it will abide by any data security standards of the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (or any replacement body), Visa, Mastercard or AMEX, including the Payment Card Industry SSC Standards. In addition, Merchant agrees to comply with the data security standards required by Airwallex under the Airwallex Agreement, as may be amended from time to time. In the event that Merchant receives Cardholder Data in connection with the Airwallex Processing Services, Merchant agrees that it will not use the Cardholder Data for any purpose that it knows or should know to be fraudulent or in violation of any Network rules. Merchant also agrees that it will not sell, purchase, provide or exchange in any manner or disclose Cardholder Data to anyone other than its acquirer, Visa or MasterCard (as applicable) or in response to a government request.

Merchant Identification. Merchant agrees to prominently and unequivocally inform the cardholder of the identity of the Merchant at all points of interaction including the location (physical address) of the Merchant to enable the cardholder to easily determine whether the transaction will be a domestic transaction or a cross-border transaction.

Chargebacks. Merchant shall use all reasonable methods to resolve disputes with the cardholder. Should a chargeback dispute occur, Merchant shall promptly comply with all requests for information from Airwallex. Merchant shall not attempt to recharge a cardholder for an item that has been charged back to the cardholder, unless the cardholder has authorized such actions.

​

Merchant’s Refund Policy must be on Merchant’s Website. If Merchant limits refund/exchange terms or other specific conditions for Card sales, Merchant’s policy must be clearly provided to the cardholder prior to the sale and Merchant must conform with all applicable laws and the Network rules.

Audit. Upon Acquirer’s request, the Merchant must promptly disclose to Acquirer such information as Acquirer reasonably requires in order to enable Acquirer to perform its obligations, and/or assess its financial and insurance risks in connection with the services provided, and/or to assess the Merchant’s compliance with the terms of the CEA and/or the Network Rules.

Term and Termination. This CEA is effective upon the date the Airwallex Agreement between the Merchant and Airwallex comes into force and continues so long as the Airwallex Agreement remains in force between Merchant and Airwallex but shall automatically terminate without notice on termination of such Airwallex Agreement for any reason, provided that those terms which by their nature are intended to survive termination (including without limitation, indemnification obligations and limitations of liability) shall survive.

This CEA may be terminated by the Acquirer at any time in the event of a breach of any of the Merchant’s obligations under this CEA or the Airwallex Agreement, or by the Merchant in the event of a breach of any of the Acquirer’s obligations under this CEA, or by the Acquirer in the event of the termination of the acquiring services agreement entered into between Airwallex (or its applicable affiliates) and the Acquirer as notified to the Merchant.

Indemnification. The Merchant agrees to indemnify and hold the Acquirer harmless from and against all losses, liabilities, damages and expense: (a) resulting from any breach of any warranty, covenant or agreement or any misrepresentation by the Merchant under this CEA; (b) arising out of the Merchant’s or its employees’ negligence or wilful misconduct, (c) arising in connection with Card transactions or otherwise arising from the Merchant’s provision of goods and services to cardholders or customers; (d) arising out of Merchant’s use of the Airwallex Service; or (e) resulting from any fines or arising out of any third party indemnifications Acquirer is obligated to make as a result of Merchant’s actions (including indemnification of any Network or card issuing bank).

Assignment/Amendments. This CEA may not be assigned by the Merchant without the prior written consent of the Acquirer. The Acquirer may assign its rights under this CEA without the Merchant’s consent.

Warranty Disclaimer. This CEA is a service agreement. The Acquirer disclaims all representations or warranties, express or implied, made to the Merchant or any other person, including without limitation, any warranties regarding quality, suitability, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or otherwise of any services or any goods provided incidental to the services provided under this CEA to the extent permitted by law.

Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything in this CEA to the contrary, in no event will the Acquirer, or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or subcontractors, be liable under any theory of tort, contract, strict liability or other legal theory for lost profits, lost revenues, lost business opportunities, exemplary, punitive, special, incidental, indirect or consequential damages, each of which is hereby excluded by agreement of the parties, regardless of whether such damages were foreseeable or whether the Acquirer has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Notwithstanding anything in this CEA to the contrary, in no event shall the Acquirer be liable or responsible for any delays or errors in its performance of the services caused by our service providers or other parties or events outside of the Acquirer's reasonable control, including Airwallex. Notwithstanding anything in this CEA to the contrary, the Acquirer's cumulative liability for all losses, claims, suits, controversies, breaches or damages for any cause whatsoever arising out of or related to this CEA and regardless of the form of action or legal theory and whether or not arising in contract or tort (including negligence) shall not exceed the total volume of all transactions, expressed as a Euro dollar amount processed by the Merchant under this CEA via Airwallex. Nothing in this CEA shall exclude or limit any liability of any party for death or personal injury caused by negligence or fraud, deceit or fraudulent misrepresentation, howsoever caused.

Waiver. The failure of a party to assert any of its rights under this CEA, including, but not limited to, the right to terminate this CEA in the event of breach or default by the other party, will not be deemed to constitute a waiver by that party of its right to enforce each and every provision of this CEA in accordance with its terms.

Relationship between the parties. No agency, partnership, joint venture or employment relationship is created between Merchant and Acquirer by way of this CEA. In the performance of their respective obligations hereunder, the parties are, and will be, independent contractors. Nothing in this CEA will be construed to constitute either party as the agent for the other for any purpose whatsoever. Neither party will bind, or attempt to bind, the other party to any contract or the performance of any obligation, and neither party will represent to any third party that it has any right to enter into any binding obligation on the other party's behalf.

No Illegal Use of Services. The Merchant will not access and/or utilize the Acquiring Services for illegal purposes and will not interfere or disrupt networks connected with the Acquiring Services.

Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this CEA will be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision hereof will be prohibited by or determined to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision will be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this CEA.

Governing Law. This CEA (and the relationships referred to or contemplated by it) shall be governed and construed in accordance with the law of England and Wales and the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales with respect to any dispute hereunder.
