2GO,® Discover Platinum). • A Discover Network Zip Indicator may appear on the back of a standard rectangular plastic Card indicating the Card can be used to conduct Contactless
Card Transactions.
NOTE: Valid Cards may not always be rectangular in shape (e.g., Discover 2GO® Cards) and certain valid Contactless Payment Devices approved by us for use in accessing Card Accounts (e.g., radio frequency (RF) enabled Cards, key fobs, and Mobile Commerce Devices) and to conduct Contactless Card Transactions may not display the features described above. Prepaid Gift Card Security Features The features described below are found on Prepaid Gift Cards; however, the placement of these features may vary:
• Depending on the issue date of the Card, the Discover Network Acceptance Mark or the Discover/NOVUS Acceptance Mark will appear on the front or back of the Card.
• The embossed, stylized “D” appears on the front of the Card. • A valid expiration date is embossed on the front of the Card.
Other Card Features for Cards with a Discover Acceptance Mark • The front of the Card may display “Temporary Card,” “Prepaid Card,” “Gift Card,” or “Electronic Use Only,” must be printed on the front or the back of the
Card. NOTE: Prepaid Gift Cards accepted at a limited, specific list of Merchants may, but are not required to display a Discover hologram and may, but are not required to, bear the Discover Acceptance Mark. Unembossed PrePaid Cards display a printed Card number. The “Valid Thru” date and the Cardholder name may or may not be printed on the Card. The embossed “D” security character is not present. “Electronic Use Only” is printed on the front or the back of an unembossed Card. Obtain an electronic Authorization Response using a POS device for unembossed Prepaid Cards. You are required to remain familiar with Discover Card designs and may reference the document “Discover Network Security Features.” You may download the document free of charge from Discover Network’s website at http://www.discovernetwork.com/fraudsecurity/ fraud.html. American Express Card. Some Cards contain a holographic image on the front or the back of the plastic to determine authenticity. Not all American Express Cards have a holographic image.
• All American Express Card Numbers start with “37” or “34.” The Card number appears embossed on the front of the Card. Embossing must be clear, and uniform in sizing and spacing. Some Cards also have the Card Number printed on the back of the Card in the signature panel. These numbers, plus the last four digits printed on the Sales Draft, must match.
• Pre-printed Card Identification (CID) Numbers must always appear above the Card Number on either the right or left edge of the Card. • Only the person whose name appears on an American Express Card is entitled to use it. Cards are not transferable. • The signature on the back of the Card must match the Card Member’s signature on the Sales Draft, and must be the same name that appears on the front
of the Card. The signature panel must not be taped over, mutilated, erased or painted over. • Some Cards also have a three digit Card Security Code (3CSC) number printed on the signature panel. • Do not accept a card outside the valid from and to dates.
1.2. Effective/Expiration Dates. At the point of sale, the Card should be carefully examined for the effective (valid from) (if present) and expiration (valid thru) dates, which are located on the face of the Card. The sale date must fall on or between these dates. Do not accept a Card prior to the effective date or after the expiration date. If the Card has expired, you cannot accept it for a Card sale unless you have verified through your Authorization Center that the Card is in good standing, otherwise, you are subject to a Chargeback and could be debited for the transaction. 1.3. Valid Signature. Check the back of the Card. Make sure that the signature panel has not been disfigured or tampered with in any fashion (an altered signature panel may appear discolored, glued or painted, or show erasure marks on the surface). The signature on the back of the Card must compare favorably with the signature on the Sales Draft. The Sales Draft must be signed by the Card presenter in the presence of your authorized representative (unless a Card Not Present Sale) and in the same format as the signature panel on the Card; e.g., Harry E. Jones should not be signed H.E. Jones. The signature panels of Visa, MasterCard and Discover Network Cards now have a 3-digit number (CVV2/CVC2/CID) printed on the panel known as the Card Validation Code. Visa, MasterCard and Discover Network: If the signature panel on the Card is blank, in addition to requesting an Authorization, you must do all the following:
• Review positive identification bearing the Cardholder’s signature (such as a passport or driver’s license that has not expired) to validate the Cardholder’s identity.
• Indicate the positive identification, including any serial number and expiration date, on the Credit Draft or Sales Draft; provided that you must effect PAN Truncation, and must not include the expiration date on the copy of the Sales Draft or Credit Draft that you provide to the Cardholder, or as required by applicable law, the Sales Draft or Credit Draft you retain.
• Require the Cardholder to sign the signature panel of the Card prior to completing the Transaction. 1.4. Users Other Than Cardholders. A Cardholder may not authorize another individual to use his/her Card for purchases. Be sure the signature on the Card matches with the one on the Sales Draft. Furthermore, any Card having two signatures on the back panel is invalid and any sale made with this Card can result in a Chargeback. For Cards bearing a photograph of the Cardholder, ensure that the Cardholder appears to be the person depicted in the picture which appears on the Card. If you have any questions, call the Voice Authorization Center and request to speak to a Code 10 operator. 1.5. Special Terms. If you limit refund/exchange terms or impose other specific conditions for Card sales, the words “No Exchange, No Refund,” etc. must be clearly printed (in 1/4" letters) on the Sales Draft near or above the Cardholder’s signature. The Cardholder’s copy, as well as your copy, must clearly show this information. During a liquidation and/or closure of any of your outlets, locations and/or businesses, you must post signs clearly visible to customers stating that “All Sales Are Final,” and stamp the Sales Draft with a notice that “All Sales Are Final.” Generally, do not give cash, check or in-store Credit refunds for Card sales. Visa allows for the following exclusions: A cash refund to the Cardholder for a small ticket transaction or a no signature required transaction, a cash refund, Credit, or other appropriate form of Credit to the recipient of a gift purchased as a Mail/Phone Order transaction, or a cash refund or in-store Credit for a Visa prepaid card transaction if the Cardholder states that the Visa pre-paid card has been discarded. NOTE: A disclosure does not eliminate your liability for a Chargeback. Consumer protection laws and Card Organization Rules frequently allow the Cardholder to dispute these items notwithstanding such disclosures. 1.6. Delayed Delivery or Deposit Balance. In a delayed delivery transaction where a Cardholder makes a deposit toward the full amount of the sale, you should execute two separate Sales Drafts (each completed fully as described in Section 3.1), the first for a deposit and the second for payment of the balance upon delivery of the merchandise or the performance of the services. Visa: For Visa transactions, you must obtain an authorization if the cumulative total of both Sales Drafts exceeds the floor limit. You must obtain an authorization for each Sales Draft on each transaction date. You must assign the separate authorization numbers to each Sales Draft, respectively. You must note on such Sales Drafts the words “delayed delivery,” “deposit” or “balance,” as appropriate, and the authorization dates and approval codes. MasterCard: For MasterCard transactions, you must obtain one authorization. You must note on both Sales Drafts the words “delayed delivery,” “deposit” or “balance,” as appropriate, and the authorization date and approval code. Discover Network: For Discover Network transactions, you must label one Sales Draft “deposit” and the other “balance,” as appropriate. You must obtain the “deposit” authorization before submitting the sales data for the “deposit” or the “balance” to us. If delivery of the merchandise or service purchased will occur more than thirty (30) calendar days after the “deposit” authorization, you must obtain a subsequent authorization for the “balance.” In addition, you must complete Address Verification at the time of the “balance” authorization, and you must obtain proof of delivery upon delivery of the services/merchandise purchased. You may not submit sales data relating to the “balance” to us for processing until the merchandise/service purchased has been completely delivered. American Express: For American Express Card transactions, you must clearly disclose your intent and obtain written consent from the Card Member to perform a delayed delivery transaction before you request an Authorization. You must obtain a separate Authorization Approval for each delayed delivery transaction on their
3 PPS1016
respective charge dates and clearly indicate on each record that the charge is either for the deposit or for the balance of the transaction. You must submit the delayed delivery transaction record for the balance of the purchase only after the items have been shipped, provided or services rendered. For deposits, submission must be on the date the Card Member agreed to pay for the deposit for the purchase. For balances, submission must be on the date the items are shipped, provided or services rendered. You must submit and authorize each delayed delivery transaction under the same Merchant Number and treat deposits on the Card no differently than you treat deposits on all other payment products. NOTE: For MasterCard and Visa transactions, if delivery is more than twenty-five (25) days after the original transaction date and the initial authorization request (as opposed to the thirty (30) days in Discover Network transactions), you should reauthorize the unprocessed portion of the transaction prior to delivery. If the transaction is declined, contact the Cardholder and request another form of payment. For example: On January 1, a Cardholder orders $2,200 worth of furniture and you receive an authorization for the full amount; however, only a $200 deposit is processed. The above procedures are followed, with a $2,000 balance remaining on the furniture; the $2,000 transaction balance should be reauthorized. 1.7. Recurring Transaction and Preauthorized Order Regulations. If you process recurring transactions and charge a Cardholder’s account periodically for recurring goods or services (e.g., monthly insurance premiums, yearly subscriptions, annual membership fees, etc.), the Cardholder shall complete and deliver to you a Cardholder approval for such goods or services to be charged to his account. The approval must at least specify the Card-holder’s name, address, account number and expiration date, the transaction amounts, the timing or frequency of recurring charges and the duration of time for which the Cardholder’s permission is granted. For Discover Network transactions, the approval must also include the total amount of recurring charges to be billed to the Cardholder’s account, including taxes and tips and your Merchant Number. If the recurring transaction is renewed, the Cardholder must complete and deliver to you a subsequent written request for the continuation of such goods or services to be charged to the Cardholder’s account. You may not complete a recurring transaction after receiving a cancellation notice from the Cardholder or Issuer or after a request for authorization has been denied. If we or you have terminated this Agreement, you may not submit authorization requests or sales data for recurring transactions that are due after the termination date of this Agreement. You must obtain an authorization for each transaction and write “Recurring Transaction” (or “P. O.” for MasterCard transactions) on the Sales Draft in lieu of the Cardholder’s signature. A positive authorization response for one recurring transaction Card Sale is not a guarantee that any future recurring transaction authorization request will be approved or paid. For all recurring transactions, you should submit the 3-digit Card Validation Code number with the first authorization request, but not subsequent authorization requests. Discover Network Card Organization Rules specifically require that you follow this Card Validation Code procedure for Discover Network recurring transactions. Also, for Discover Network recurring transactions, the Sales Draft must include a general description of the transaction, your merchant name and a toll-free customer service number that the Cardholder may call to obtain customer assistance from you or to cancel the written approval for the recurring transaction. For American Express recurring transactions, you should periodically verify with Card Members that their information (e.g., Card Number, expiration date, billing address) is still accurate. This will improve the likelihood of obtaining an approval to an Authorization request. All recurring transactions or preauthorized orders may not include partial payments for goods or services purchased in a single transaction. You may not impose a finance charge in connection with a Recurring Transaction or Pre-authorized Order. If you process recurring payment transactions, the Recurring Payment Indicator must be included in each authorization request, and as applicable, each Batch submission entry. Penalties can be assessed by the Card Organizations for failure to use the Recurring Payment Indicator. 1.8. Certain Rules and Requirements. The following rules are requirements strictly enforced by Visa, MasterCard and Discover Network:
• Your minimum Credit Card acceptance amount cannot exceed $10.00. Such minimum amount must be established to all Credit Cards regardless of Card Issuer or Card brands. Unless you are a federal government entity or institution of higher learning, you may not establish a maximum amount as a condition for accepting a Card, except that for Discover transactions, you may limit the maximum amount a Discover Network Cardholder may spend if, and only if, you have not received a positive authorization response from the Issuer. Setting a minimum transaction amount limit for Debit Cards (Pin Debit or Non-PIN Debit) is prohibited.
• You may impose a surcharge or fee for accepting a Card only in accordance with applicable law and Card Organization Rules. • You cannot establish any special conditions for accepting a Card. • You may provide a discount/incentive for a consumer to pay with cash, check, Credit Card, Debit Card, etc., however, you must clearly and conspicuously
disclose the discount to consumers. Also, you must offer the discount to all consumers and you cannot discriminate based upon Card brand or Card Issuer. However, you may choose not to accept either U.S. issued Debit Cards or U.S. issued Credit Cards under the terms described in Section 1.9.
• You cannot require the Cardholder to supply any personal information (e.g., home or business phone number; home or business address; or driver’s license number) unless instructed by the Authorization Center. The exception to this is for a mail/telephone/ Internet order or delivery-required transaction, and zip code for a card-present key-entered transaction in order to obtain an Address Verification. Any information that is supplied by the Cardholder must not be in plain view when mailed.
• Any tax required to be collected must be included in the total transaction amount and not collected in cash. • You cannot submit any transaction representing the refinance or transfer of an existing Cardholder obligation deemed uncollectible. • You cannot accept a Visa Consumer Credit Card or Commercial Visa Product, issued by a U.S. Issuer, to collect or refinance an existing debt. • You cannot submit a transaction or sale that has been previously charged back. • You must create a Sales Draft or Credit Draft for each Card transaction and deliver at least one copy of the Sales Draft or Credit Draft to the Cardholder. • You cannot submit a transaction or sale to cover a dishonored check. • If you accept Card checks, your Card check acceptance policy must treat the acceptance of checks from all payment card brands that you accept equally
(e.g., if you accept MasterCard, Visa and Discover Network, your check acceptance policy must treat checks for all three payment card brands equally). You should handle these Card checks like any other personal check drawn upon a bank in the United States.
• Failure to comply with any of the Card Organization Rules may result in fines or penalties. • You will inform the Cardholder that you are responsible for the Card transaction including your goods and services and for related customer service,
dispute resolution and performance of the terms and conditions of the transaction. 1.9. Card Acceptance. If you have indicated either in the Application or by registering with us at least thirty (30) days in advance that, as between Non-PIN Debit Card transactions and Credit Card transactions, you will limit your acceptance to either (i) only accept Non-PIN Debit transactions; or (ii) only accept Credit Card transactions, then the following terms in this Section 1.9 will apply: 1.9.1. You will be authorized to refuse to accept for payment either Non-PIN Debit Cards or Credit Cards that are issued within the United States. You will, however, continue to be obligated to accept all foreign issued Credit Card or Debit Cards issued by MasterCard, Visa or Discover Network so long as you accept any type of MasterCard, Visa or Discover Network branded Card. 1.9.2. While many Debit Cards include markings indicating debit (such as “Visa Checkcard, Visa Buxx, Gift Card, DEBIT, or Mastermoney), many Debit Cards may not include any such markings. It will be your responsibility to determine at the point of sale whether a Card is of a type that you have indicated that you will accept. You agree to institute appropriate systems and controls to limit your acceptance to the Card types indicated. You may purchase a table of ranges of numbers currently associated with Debit Card transactions upon execution of confidentiality/non-disclosure agreements required by the Card Organizations. You will be responsible for updating your systems to utilize such tables and to obtain updated tables. Merchant Use and Disclosure of BIN Information (Visa/MasterCard). Servicers may provide BIN information or other product-identifying data to the Merchant or its Merchant Servicer solely for purposes of identifying Visa or MasterCard Card product types at the point of sale. Servicers must provide this Visa BIN information to any Merchant requesting it for the permitted purpose. Servicers must provide a complete list of the BINs that apply to Debit MasterCard Cards to Merchants upon any form of reasonable request. A U.S. Merchant or its Merchant Servicer that receives BIN information or other product-identifying data from Servicers must not use such information for any reason other than to identify Visa or MasterCard Card product types at the point of sale and to implement acceptance practices permitted by the Visa or MasterCard Operating Rules (including, without limitation, “Discount Offer – U.S. Region 5.2.D.2” in the Visa International Operating Regulations; and Rule 5.11.1 “Discrimination” in the MasterCard Rules manual) based on such information, unless authorized by Visa or
4 PPS1016
MasterCard, as applicable. A U.S. Merchant or its Merchant Servicer must not disclose BIN information or other product-identifying data to any third party without prior written permission from Visa or MasterCard, as applicable.

Merchant Use and Disclosure of BIN Information (Visa/MasterCard) Servicers may provide BIN information or other product-identifying data to the Merchant or its Merchant Servicer solely for purposes of identifying Visa or MasterCard Card product types at the point of sale.

A U.S. Merchant or its Merchant Servicer that receives BIN information or other product-identifying data from Servicers must not use such information for any reason other than to identify Visa or MasterCard Card product types at the point of sale and to implement acceptance practices permitted by the Visa or MasterCard Operating Rules (including, without limitation, “Discount Offer – U.S. Region 5.2.D.2” in the Visa International Operating Regulations; and Rule 5.11.1 “Discrimination” in the MasterCard Rules manual) based on such information, unless authorized by Visa or MasterCard, as applicable. A U.S. Merchant or its Merchant Servicer must not disclose BIN information or other product-identifying data to any third party without prior written permission from Visa or MasterCard, as applicable. If Merchant provides BIN or other product data information to a Merchant Servicer, Merchant must:
Ensure that the Merchant Servicer complies with the substance of these “Merchant Use and Disclosure of BIN Information” requirements
Include the substance of these requirements in Merchant’s agreement or contract with its Merchant Servicer As used in the foregoing provisions, “Merchant Servicer” means any contractor, agent, hardware provider, software provider or service provider who is engaged directly or indirectly by Merchant or who otherwise acts for or on behalf of Merchant in connection with Merchant’s acceptance of Cards or the submission of Charges or Credit Vouchers to Servicers, or who otherwise assists Merchant in the performance of Merchant’s obligations under the Merchant Agreement, and includes without limitation any “Agent”, “Merchant Servicer’, “Third Party”, “Merchant processor”, “Data Storage Entity”, “Payment Service Provider’, “Internet Payment Service Provider’, or “Payment Facilitator” who acts for on behalf of Merchant within the meaning of the Operating Rules, and any other person or entity who will store transmit, process, or otherwise have access to, any Cardholder or card transaction data in connection with Merchant’s performance of Merchant’s obligations under the Merchant Agreement. 1.9.3. To the extent that you inadvertently or unintentionally accept a transaction that you are not registered to accept, such transaction will downgrade and you will be charged the Non-Qualified Rate or, if you are utilizing the Enhanced Recovery Reduced Discount option, you will be charged the Enhanced Recovery Reduced Rate on the volume of said transaction that Client was not registered to accept, in addition to the difference between the MasterCard / Visa/Discover Network Qualified Rate agreed to in Section 9 of the Service Fee Schedule and the actual interchange rate assessed to the downgraded transaction. 1.9.4. Based upon your choice to accept only the Card types indicated in the application, you must remove from your premises any existing signage indicating that you accept all Visa, MasterCard or Discover Network Cards and use approved specific signage reflecting your policy of accepting only Non-PIN Debit or Credit Cards. 1.9.5. EvenifyouelectnottoacceptNon-PINDebitCardtransactionsasprovidedabove, you may still accept PIN Debit Card transactions if you have signed up for PIN Debit Card Services. 1.10. Deposits of Principals. Owners, partners, officers and employees of your business establishment, and the guarantors who signed the Application, are prohibited from submitting Sales Drafts or Credit Drafts transacted on their own personal Cards, other than transactions arising from bona fide purchases of goods or services in the ordinary course of your business. Such use in violation of this Section 1.10 is deemed a cash advance, and cash advances are prohibited. 1.11. Merchants in the Lodging Industry. 1.11.1. Generally.

Approval Codes can be obtained through your POS Terminal or a Voice Response Unit (“VRU”). Any fees related to authorizations will be charged for a request for an Authorization Approval Code, whether or not the transaction is approved. Do not attempt to obtain an Authorization Approval Code provided by someone other than us except as described in Section 5.4. If a Cardholder or another service provider provides you with either an authorization number or with a telephone number for obtaining authorizations, the Authorization Approval Code you receive may not be valid. Even if the transaction is initially processed and funded, it may be charged back at a later date. Also, if you receive a purported Authorization Approval Code from someone other than us, we will not have the supporting records and will be unable to verify that you received the authorization if that is later questioned in a Chargeback. An Authorization Approval Code only indicates the availability of credit on an account at the time the authorization is requested. It does not warrant that the person presenting the Card is the rightful Cardholder, nor is it a promise or guarantee that you will not be subject to a Chargeback. If you obtain Address Verification, you must review the AVS response separately from the authorization response and make your own decision about whether to accept the transaction. A transaction can receive an Authorization Approval Code from the Issuer even if AVS is unavailable or reflects that the address provided to you does not match the billing address on file at the Issuer. If the authorized Cardholder disputes such a transaction, you will be responsible for the resulting Chargeback. If you receive a Referral response to an attempted authorization, you may not submit the transaction without calling for and receiving a voice authorization. After receiving a Referral response you may not attempt another authorization on the same Card through your POS Terminal. If you fail to obtain an Authorization Approval Code or if you submit a Card transaction after receiving a decline (even if a subsequent authorization attempt results in an Authorization Approval Code), your transaction may result in a Chargeback and may be assessed fines or fees by the Card Organizations for which you will be responsible. These currently range from $25 to $150 per transaction. To avoid these costs and related Chargebacks, always obtain an Authorization Approval Code directly from your terminal before submitting a transaction for settlement. For Cards other than MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Discover Network or for check acceptance, you must follow the procedures for authorization and acceptance for each. You may not attempt to obtain multiple authorizations for a single transaction. If a sale is declined, do not take alternative measures with the same Card to obtain an approval of the sale from other authorization sources. Instead, request another form of payment. If you accept and process a transaction that was declined, or attempt multi-transactions and/or multi-authorizations, you are subject to a Chargeback, Card Organization fines and/or cancellation of your Agreement. For MasterCard transactions, automated fuel dispensers must ensure that completion messages are submitted for MasterCard Cards within 60 minutes of the Authorization. 5.1. Card Not Present Transactions. You must obtain the 3-digit Card Validation Code (CVV2, CVC2, CID) and submit this Code with all authorization requests with respect to transactions where the Card is not present (e.g., telephone, mail or internet sales). However, for recurring transaction authorizations you should submit the Card Validation Code with the first authorization request only, and not with subsequent recurring transaction authorization requests. (See Section 1.7). NOTE: For each Card Not Present Discover Network transaction, you must also verify the name and billing address of the Discover Network Cardholder using the Address Verification System (AVS), and if you do not receive a positive match, do not process the Discover Network Card Not Present transaction. 5.2. Authorization via Telephone (Other Than Terminal / Electronic Device Users).
• Call your designated voice authorization toll free number and enter the authorization information into the VRU using a touch tone phone or hold for an authorization representative.
• If advised to pick up a Card, use reasonable and peaceful means to do so, and do not take any action that will alarm or embarrass the Card presenter. You will bear all responsibility for claims, liabilities, costs and expenses as a result of any action by you, your employees, vendors or agents, that attempt to retain a Card without the Issuer’s direct request or failure to use reasonable, lawful means in retaining or attempting to retain the Card. ForwardtheCardto:Attn:RewardsDepartment,P.O.Box5019,Hagerstown,MD21740. You may be paid a reward for the return of the Card.
• On occasion, the Authorization Center will ask you to obtain identification from the Cardholder before issuing an approval code. If you are instructed to do so, clearly write the appropriate identification source and numbers in the space provided on the Sales Draft unless otherwise prohibited by law.
• If the sale is declined, please remember that our operators are only relaying a message from the Issuer. The fact that a sale has been declined should not be interpreted as a reflection of the Cardholder’s creditworthiness. The Cardholder should be instructed to call the Issuer.
5.3. Authorization via Electronic Devices. • If you use an electronic terminal to obtain an Authorization Approval Code, all sales should be authorized through this equipment. Authorizations through
other methods will result in additional charges to you. • If your terminal malfunctions, refer to your Quick Reference Guide, if necessary, or call the POS Help Desk. The problem will either be corrected promptly
or may require terminal programming or replacement. During the period in which your terminal is not functioning, remember to check it periodically since most terminal problems are temporary in nature and are quickly corrected.
• If a terminal is moved or if wires are disconnected, causing malfunction, call the POS Help Desk immediately and follow their instructions. You may be responsible for any service charges incurred for reactivation of the terminal.
• Until the terminal becomes operable, you must call your designated voice authorization toll free number and enter authorization information into the VRU using a touchtone phone. During this time, each transaction must be imprinted using a manual Imprinter machine. Failure to obtain an Authorization Approval Code and to imprint these transactions could result in a Chargeback to your account.
5.4. Third Party Authorization System. If you have contracted with another authorization network to obtain Credit Card authorization, i.e., your terminal can Split Dial, liability resulting from discrepancies with that network must be resolved between you and that network. We will not research Chargebacks resulting from Authorization Approval Codes obtained from another authorization service organization. Such Chargebacks will be passed through to you for resolution. If an authorization provided by a third party authorization system is challenged in a Chargeback, you must obtain proof (e.g., third party authorization logs) from the authorization source and submit it to us within the time frame specified on the Chargeback documentation. IF YOU CONTRACTED TO USE ONE OF OUR AUTHORIZATION SERVICES, DO NOT USE ANOTHER THIRD PARTY SYSTEM WITHOUT NOTIFYING CUSTOMER SERVICE. OTHERWISE, WE WILL BE UNABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY RESEARCH AND DEFEND ANY AUTHORIZATION RELATED CHARGEBACKS ON YOUR BEHALF. THIS DELAY WILL SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASE YOUR TIME TO RESEARCH AND PROVIDE PROOF OF AUTHORIZATION, THUS REDUCING YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO REVERSE A CHARGEBACK. If you utilize another authorization network, you will be responsible for the downgrade of any transactions to a higher cost interchange that result from a mismatch of information to our systems and those of third party authorization networks (see Section 18). If you use a third party authorization network, you must also comply with Section 4.7.

• Avoid Chargebacks by adhering to the guidelines and procedures outlined in these Operating Procedures. • If you do receive a Chargeback, investigate, and if you dispute the Chargeback, submit the appropriate documentation within the required time frame. • Whenever possible, contact the Cardholder directly to resolve the dispute, unless the dispute relates to a Discover Network Cardholder, in which case
direct contact with the Discover Network Cardholder regarding the dispute is prohibited by Discover Network Card Organization Rules. • If you have any questions, call Customer Service.
10.1.4. Chargeback Reasons. The following section outlines the most common types of Chargebacks. This list is not exhaustive. For ease of understanding, we have combined like Chargebacks into six groupings. We have included recommendations on how to reduce the risk of Chargebacks within each group. These are recommendations only, and do not guarantee that you will be able to prevent Chargebacks. 1. Authorization Issues: Proper Authorization procedures were not followed and valid Authorization was not obtained. The following scenarios could cause an Authorization Related Chargeback to occur:
• Authorization not obtained. • Authorization was declined. • Transaction processed with an expired card and Authorization was not obtained. • Transaction was processed with an invalid account number and Authorization was not obtained. • Card Recovery Bulletin (CRB) or Exception File was not checked (transactions below floor limit).
To reduce your risk of receiving an Authorization Related Chargeback: • Obtain valid Authorization on the day of the transaction.
Card Present Transactions-Authorization must be obtained on the transaction date for the amount settled. Card Not Present Transactions-Authorization must be obtained on the transaction date for the amount settled. However, if
merchandise is being shipped, Authorization must be obtained within seven calendar days of the transaction ship date. • If a declined response is received, then request another form of payment from the Cardholder. • If a Referral response is received, then follow proper voice procedures to obtain a valid Authorization and obtain an imprint of the card. • “Pick-up” response indicates that the Issuer is requesting for the card to be retained and returned back to them. The Card should not be accepted for
payment. Additionally, you can choose to retain the Credit Card and return it to the Acquirer. • Merchants should not exceed any predetermined thresholds for specific terminal types as specified by each Card Organization.
2. Cancellations and Returns: Credit was not processed properly or the Cardholder has cancelled and/or returned items. The following scenarios could cause a Cancellation and Return Related Chargeback to occur:
• Cardholder received damaged or defective merchandise. • Cardholder continued to be billed for cancelled recurring transaction. • Credit transaction was not processed.
To reduce your risk of receiving a Cancellation and Return Related Chargeback: • Issue Credit to the Cardholder for the same account as the purchase in a timely manner.
– Do not issue Credit to the Cardholder in the form of cash, check or in-store/merchandise Credit as we may not be able to recoup your funds in the event the transaction is charged back.
• Ensure customers are fully aware of the conditions for recurring transactions. Cancel recurring billings as soon as notification is received from the Cardholder or as a Chargeback, and Issue the appropriate Credit as needed to the Cardholder in a timely manner.
• Pre-notify the Cardholder of billings within 10 days (Domestic) and 15 (International) prior to billing, allowing the Cardholder time to cancel the transaction. • Provide proper disclosure of your refund policy for returned/cancelled merchandise, or services to the Cardholder at the time of transaction.
– Card present, Cardholder signed the Sales Draft containing disclosure. • If applicable, the words “NO EXCHANGE, NO REFUND,” etc. must be clearly printed in 1/4-inch lettering on the Sales Draft near or above the Cardholder
signature. – Ecommerce, provide disclosure on website on same page as check out requiring Cardholder to click to accept prior to completion. – Card Not Present, provide cancellation policy at the time of the transaction. – Provide cancellation numbers to Cardholder’s when lodging services are cancelled. • Ensure delivery of the merchandise or services ordered
to the Cardholder. 3. Fraud: Transactions that the Cardholder claims are unauthorized; the account number is no longer in use or is fictitious, or the merchant was identified as “high risk.”
• The following scenarios could cause a Fraud Related Chargeback to occur: • Multiple transactions were completed with a single card without the Cardholder’s permission. • Counterfeit card was utilized and proper acceptance
procedures were not followed. • Authorization was obtained; however, full track data was not transmitted. • Cardholder states that they did not authorize or participate in the transaction.
NOTE: Visa Fraud Chargebacks: Chargeback representment rights do not exist if you failed to fulfill a retrieval request and/or provide a sales slip that contains all required data elements. To preserve Chargeback representment rights, respond to all retrieval requests with a clear legible copy of the transaction document that contains all required data elements within the required timeframe that is specified by the retrieval request. To reduce your risk of receiving a Fraud Related Chargeback: Card Present Transactions:
• Obtain an Authorization for all transactions. • If you are utilizing an electronic device to capture card information, swipe all Card transactions through your electronic authorization device to capture
Cardholder information and ensure the displayed Cardholder number matches the number on the Card. • If you are unable to swipe the Card or if a Referral response is received, imprint the Card using a valid imprinting device that will capture the embossed
Card and merchant information. Do not alter the imprint on the draft in any way. Manually entering the information into the terminal does not protect you from this type of Chargeback. All pertinent information relating to the transaction must be written on the manually imprinted draft (transaction date, dollar amount, authorization code and merchandise description) along with the Cardholder signature.
NOTE: Do not imprint on the back of a signed Sales Draft. The imprint must be on the transaction document that contains all transaction elements to prove the Card was present at the time of the transaction.
• Obtain the Cardholder signature for all transactions; ensure the signature on the Sales Draft matches the signature on the back of the Card. • Process all transaction one time and do not Batch out transactions multiple times. • Educate staff on procedures to eliminate point of sale (POS) fraud.
Card Not Present Transactions: • Participation in recommended Fraud Prevention Tools:
– Verified by Visa Program – MasterCard Secure Code – Address Verification Services – CVV2, CVC2 and CID Verification
NOTE: While transactions utilizing these tools may still be disputed, the service may assist you with your decision to accept the Card for the transaction. • Ensure you ship to the AVS confirmed address (bill to and ship to should match).
• Obtain Authorization for all transactions. • Ensure merchant descriptor matches the name of the business and is displayed correctly on the Cardholder statement. • Ensure descriptor includes correct business address and a valid customer service number.
14 PPS1016
• American Express offers fraud mitigation tools for both Card Present and Card Not Present transactions to help verify that a charge is valid. These tools help you mitigate the risk of fraud at the point of sale, but are not a guarantee that a charge is in fact valid or bona fide, or that you will not be subject to a Chargeback. For optimal use of the tools, please visit American Express’ Fraud Prevention Information at: www.americanexpress.com/fraudinfo.
4. Cardholder Disputes: Merchandise or services not received by the Cardholder, Merchandise defective or not as described. The following scenarios could cause a Cardholder Dispute Chargeback to occur:
• Services were not provided or merchandise was not received by the Cardholder. • The Cardholder was charged prior to merchandise being shipped or merchandise was not received by agreed upon delivery date or location. • Cardholder received merchandise that was defective, damaged, or unsuited for the purpose sold, or did not match the description on the transaction
documentation/verbal description presented at the time of purchase. • Cardholder paid with an alternate means and their Card was also billed for the same transaction. • Cardholder cancelled service or merchandise and their Card was billed. • Cardholder billed for a transaction that was not part of the original transaction document.
To reduce your risk of receiving a Cardholder Dispute Related Chargeback: • Provide Services or Merchandise as agreed upon and described to the Cardholder; clearly indicate the expected delivery date on the sales receipt or
invoice. • Contact the Cardholder in writing if the merchandise or service cannot be provided or is delayed, and offer the Cardholder the option to cancel if your
internal policies allow. • In the event that the Cardholder received defective merchandise or the merchandise received was not as described; resolve the issue with the Cardholder
at first contact. • If the merchandise is being picked up by the Cardholder, have them sign for the merchandise after inspection that it was received in good condition. • Do not charge the Cardholder until the merchandise has been shipped, ship according to the agreed upon terms and obtain signed Proof of Delivery from
the Cardholder. • If unable to provide services or merchandise, issue a Credit to Cardholder in a timely manner. • Accept only one form of payment per transaction and ensure the Cardholder is only billed once per transaction. • Do not bill Cardholder for loss, theft or damages unless authorized by the Cardholder.
5. Processing Errors: Error was made when transaction was processed or it was billed incorrectly. The following scenarios could cause a Processing Error Chargeback to occur:
• Transaction was not deposited within the Card Organization specified timeframe. • Cardholder was issue a Credit Draft; however, the transaction was processed as a sale. • Transaction was to be processed in a currency other than the currency used to settle the transaction. • The account number or transaction amount utilized in the transaction was incorrectly entered. • A single transaction was processed more than once to the Cardholder’s account. • Cardholder initially presented Card as payment for the transaction; however Cardholder decided to use an alternate form of payment. • Limited amount or self-service terminal transaction was processed for an amount which is over the pre-determined limit.
To reduce your risk of receiving a Processing Error Related Chargeback: • Process all transactions within the Card Organization specified timeframes. • Ensure all transactions are processed accurately and only one time.
NOTE: In the event that a transaction was processed more than once; immediately issue voids, transaction reversals or Credits. • Ensure that credit transaction receipts are processed as Credits and sale transaction receipts are processed as sales. • Ensure all transactions received a valid Authorization Approval Code prior to processing the transaction and obtain a legible magnetic swipe or imprinted
Sales Draft that is signed. • Do not alter transaction documentation or make any adjustments unless the Cardholder has been contacted and agrees to any modifications of the
transaction amount. • Ensure limited amount, self-service and automated fuel dispenser terminals are set properly to conform to the pre-determined limits.
6. Non Receipt of Information: Failure to Respond to a Retrieval Request or Cardholder Does Not Recognize The following scenarios could cause Non Receipt of Information Chargeback to occur:
• The transaction documentation was not provided to fulfill the retrieval request. • The retrieval request was fulfilled with an illegible Sales Draft or was an invalid fulfillment (incorrect sales draft or sales draft did not contain required
information which may include signature). • The Cardholder does not recognize or is unfamiliar with the transaction due to the merchant name and / or location not matching the name and / or
location where the transaction took place. To reduce your risk of receiving a Non Receipt of Information Related Chargeback:
• Provide a clear and legible copy of the Sales Draft that contains all required data elements within the required timeframe that is specified on the retrieval request.
• Ensure that the most recognizable merchant name, location and/or customer service phone number is provided on all transactions. • Retain copies of all transaction documentation for the required timeframe that is specified by each Card Organization. • Develop efficient methods to retrieve transaction documentation to maximize ability to fulfill requests.
10.2. Other Debits. We may also debit your Settlement Account or your settlement funds in the event we are required to pay Card Organization fees, charges, fines, penalties or other assessments as a consequence of your sales activities. Such debits shall not be subject to any limitations of time specified elsewhere in the Agreement, including, without limitation the following, which we may add to or delete from this list as changes occur in the Card Organization Rules or our Operating Procedures pursuant to Section 15:
• Card Organization fees, charges, fines, penalties, registration fees, or other assessments including any fees levied against us or any amount for which you are obligated to indemnify us.
• Currency conversion was incorrectly calculated. NOTE: For Discover Network transactions, you are not permitted to convert from your local Discover Network approved currency into another currency, nor may you quote the price of a transaction in U.S. Dollars if completed in another approved currency.
• Discount Rate not previously charged. • Reversal of deposit posted to your account in error. • Debit for Summary Adjustment not previously posted. • Reversal of Credit for deposit previously posted. • Debit for Chargeback never posted to your account. • Debit for EDC Batch error fee. • Card Organization Merchant Chargeback/fraud monitoring fees – excessive Chargeback handling fees. • Failure of transaction to meet Member Controller Authorization Service (“MCAS”) – Cardholder account number on exception file. • Original transaction currency (foreign) not provided. • Travel Voucher exceeds maximum value. • Debit and/or fee for investigation and/or Chargeback costs related to this Agreement, or for costs related to our collection activities in an amount no less

30.5. Required Licenses. If you provide FNS, SNAP and WIC Benefits under this Agreement, you represent and warrant to us that you are a FNS authorized merchant and are not currently disqualified or withdrawn from redeeming food stamp coupons or otherwise disqualified or withdrawn by FNS. You agree to secure and maintain at your own expense all necessary licenses, permits, franchises, or other authorities required to lawfully effect the issuance and distribution of EBT benefits under this Agreement, including without limitation, any applicable franchise tax certificate and non-governmental contractor’s certificate, and covenant that you will not accept EBT Cards or provide EBT benefits at any time during which you are not in compliance with the requirements of any EBT Rules. 30.6. Term and Termination. If you are disqualified or withdrawn from the Food Stamp Program, your authority to issue benefits will be terminated concurrently therewith. Such disqualification or withdrawal will be deemed a breach of this Agreement with respect to your authority to issue Cash Benefits and, in the event of such disqualification, we have the right to immediately terminate the provision of service under this Section 30 or the Agreement in its entirety. With respect to the issuance of Cash Benefits only, your authority to issue Cash Benefits may be suspended or terminated immediately at the sole discretion of us, the state or its EBT service provider, effective upon delivery of a notice of suspension or termination specifying the reasons for such suspension or termination if there will be (i) any suspension, injunction, cessation, or termination of the EBT service provider’s authority to provide EBT services to the state; (ii) failure by you, upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice, to cure any breach by you of these terms and conditions, including without limitation, your failure to support the issuance of EBT benefits during your normal business hours consistent with your normal business practices, your failure to comply with EBT benefit issuance procedures, your impermissible acceptance of an EBT Card, or your disqualification or withdrawal from the Food Stamp Program; or (iii) based on a state’s or its EBT service provider’s investigation of the relevant facts, evidence that you or any of your agents or employees are committing, participating in, or have knowledge of fraud or theft in connection with the dispensing of EBT benefits. If you fail to cure any breach as set forth above, you may appeal such suspension of termination to the applicable state for determination in its sole discretion. In the event that your authority to accept benefits is suspended or terminated by a state or its EBT service provider, and you successfully appeal such suspension or termination to the state or its EBT service provider, we shall be under no obligation to reinstate the services previously provided under this Section 30 or the Agreement, as applicable. The provision of services under this Section 30 shall terminate automatically if our agreement or our service provider’s agreement with any applicable state’s EBT service provider terminates for any reason. You will give prompt notice to us if you plan to stop accepting EBT Cards and providing EBT benefits or if you are unable to comply with the terms of this Section 30. 30.7. Confidentiality of EBT System Information. All information related to EBT customers and/or the issuance of EBT benefits shall be considered confidential information. Individually identifiable information relating to an EBT customer or applicant for EBT benefits will be held confidential and will not be disclosed by you or your directors, officers, employees or agents, without prior written approval of the applicable state. You will: (a) implement appropriate measures designed to: (1) ensure the security and confidentiality of all non-public personal information or materials regarding customers (“NPPI”); (2) protect against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of NPPI; (3) protect against unauthorized access to or use of NPPI that could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any customer and (4) ensure the proper disposal of NPPI; and (b) take appropriate actions to address incidents of unauthorized access to NPPI, including notification to us as soon as possible. The use of information obtained by you in the performance of your duties under this Section 30 will be limited to purposes directly connected with such duties. 30.8. EBT Service Marks. You will adequately display any applicable state’s service Marks or other licensed marks, including the Quest Marks, and other materials supplied by us (collectively the “Protected Marks”) in accordance with the standards set by the applicable state. You will use the Protected Marks only to indicate that EBT benefits are issued at your location(s) and will not indicate that we, any state or its EBT service provider endorse your goods or services. Your right to use such Protected Marks pursuant to this Agreement will continue only so long as this Section 30 remains in effect or until you are notified by us, any state or its EBT service provider to cease their use or display. You will not use the Marks of any EBT service provider without prior written approval from such EBT service provider. 30.9. Miscellaneous. 30.9.1. Errors. You will fully cooperate with us and any other participants in the EBT system in the resolution of errors and disputes regarding EBT transactions processed pursuant to this Section 30. You will promptly notify us of any such errors or disputes. 30.9.2. Issuance Records.
i. You agree to make available such informational materials as may be required by the state, its EBT service provider or any applicable regulations pertaining to the issuance of Benefits.
ii. You will retain all EBT-related records (including but not limited to manual sales drafts or vouchers) in the manner required by the EBT Rules or otherwise reasonably requested by us for three (3) years following the date of the applicable EBT transaction, or for such additional period as may be required by the EBT Rules. Records involving matters in litigation will be kept by you for a period of not less than three (3) years following the termination of the applicable litigation. Copies of any documents in media other than paper (e.g., microfilm, etc.) related to this Section 30 may be substituted for the originals to the extent permitted under applicable EBT Rules and provided that legible paper copies can be reproduced within a reasonable time after such records are requested.
iii. You will make all EBT-related records available for audit upon request to representatives of the state or its EBT service provider, or other authorized state or federal government agency during normal business hours.
iv. To assure compliance with this Agreement, including without limitation this Section 30, the state, its EBT service provider, or other authorized state or federal government agency, will at all times, upon advance notice except in the case of suspected fraud or other similar activity, have the right to enter, during normal business hours, your premises to inspect or evaluate any work performed under this Agreement, or to obtain any other information required to be provided by you or otherwise related to this Agreement.
30.9.3. Training. You will train and permit your employees to receive training regarding the issuance of EBT benefits. 30.9.4. Amendments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if any of these terms and conditions are found to conflict with the EBT Rules or federal or state policy, these terms and conditions are subject to reasonable amendment by us, a state or its EBT service provider to address such conflict upon twenty (20) days’ written notice to you provided that you may, upon written notice, terminate your obligation under this Section 30 upon receipt of notice of such amendment. 30.9.5. State Action. Nothing contained herein shall preclude a state from commencing appropriate administrative or legal action against you or for making any referral for such action to any appropriate federal, state, or local agency. 30.9.6. Reference to State. Any references to state herein will mean the state in which you accept EBT benefits pursuant to this Section 30. If you accept EBT benefit in more than one state pursuant this Section 30, then the reference will mean each such state severally, not jointly. 30.9.7. Third Party Beneficiaries. These terms and conditions, do not create, and will not be construed as creating, any rights enforceable by any person not having any rights directly under this Agreement, except that the state and its Issuer, as defined in the Quest Rules, will be deemed third party beneficiaries of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made by you under the Agreement, including without limitation this Section 30.

AND/OR EQUIPMENT COMPATIBLE IN THE EVENT THAT YOU ELECT TO USE ANOTHER SERVICE PROVIDER. UPON TERMINATION OF YOUR MERCHANT PROCESSING AGREEMENT, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO USE THE EQUIPMENT AND/OR SOFTWARE LEASED UNDER THIS LEASE AGREEMENT WITH SAID SERVICE PROVIDER.
1.3. Site Preparation. You will prepare the installation site(s) for the Equipment, including but not limited to the power supply circuits and phone lines, in conformance with the manufacturer’s and our specifications and will make the site(s) available to us by the confirmed shipping date. 1.4. Payment of Amounts Due. a) The monthly lease charge is due and payable monthly, in advance. You agree to pay all assessed costs for delivery and installation of Equipment. b) In addition to the monthly lease charge, you shall pay, or reimburse us for, amounts equal to any taxes, assessments on or arising out of this Lease Agreement or the Equipment, and related supplies or any services, use or activities hereunder, including without limitation, state and local sales, use, property, privilege and excise tax, tax preparation, compliance expenses, but exclusive of taxes based on our net income. Property taxes are calculated and charged based on the average of the estimated annual property taxes over the course of the term of the lease. You will also be charged an annual Tax Handling Fee, as set forth in the MPA and/or applicable Fee Schedule. c) Your lease payments will be due despite dissatisfaction with the Equipment for any reason. d) Whenever any payment is not made by you in full when due, you shall pay us as a late charge, an amount equal to ten percent of the amount due but no less than $5.00 for each month during which it remains unpaid (prorated for any partial month), but in no event more than the maximum amount permitted by law. You shall also pay to us an administrative charge of $10.00 for any debit we attempt to make against your Settlement Account that is rejected. e) In the event your account is placed into collections for past due lease amounts, you agree that we can recover a collection expense charge of $50.00 for each aggregate payment requiring a collection effort. 1.5. Use and Return of Equipment; Insurance.
a) You shall cause the Equipment to be operated by competent and qualified personnel in accordance with any operating instructions furnished by us or the manufacturer. You shall maintain the Equipment in good operating condition and protect it from deterioration, normal wear and tear excepted.
b) You shall not permit any physical alteration or modification of the Equipment, or change the installation site of the Equipment, without our prior written consent.
c) You shall not create, incur, assume or allow to exist any consensually or judicially imposed liens or encumbrances on, or part with possession of, or sublease the Equipment without our prior written consent.
d) You shall comply with all governmental laws, rules, and regulations relating to the use of the Equipment. You are also responsible for obtaining all permits required to operate the Equipment at your facility.
e) We or our representatives may, at any time, enter your premises for purposes of inspecting, examining or repairing the Equipment. f) The Equipment shall remain our personal property and shall not under any circumstances be considered to be a fixture affixed to your real estate. You
shall permit us to affix suitable labels or stencils to the Equipment evidencing our ownership. g) You shall keep the Equipment adequately insured against loss by fire, theft, and all other hazards. h) You shall provide proof of insurance as evidenced by a certificate naming First Data Merchant Services Corporation as a loss payee under your
insurance policy. The loss, destruction, theft, or damage of or to the Equipment shall not relieve you from your obligation to pay the full purchase price or total monthly leases charges hereunder.
i) If you do not provide such proof of insurance, you may be charged a fee, on which we may make a profit, as set forth on your fee schedule in connection with insuring the Equipment.
1.6. Title to Equipment. The Equipment is, and shall at all times be and remain, our sole and exclusive property, and you shall have no right, title or interest in or to the Equipment except as expressly set forth in this Lease Agreement or otherwise agreed in writing. Except as expressly provided in Section 1.8, no transference of intellectual property rights is intended by or conferred in this Lease Agreement. You agree to execute and deliver to us any statement or instrument that we may request to confirm or evidence our ownership of the Equipment, and you irrevocably appoint us as your attorney-in-fact to execute and file the same in your name and on your behalf. If a court determines that the leasing transaction contemplated by this Lease Agreement does not constitute a financing and is not a lease of the Equipment, then we shall be deemed to have a first lien security interest on the Equipment as of the date of this Lease Agreement, and you will execute such documentation as we may request to evidence such security interest. If this Lease Agreement is deemed a loan despite the intention of the parties, then in no contingency or event whatsoever shall interest deemed charged hereunder, however such interest may be characterized or computed, exceed the highest rate permissible under any law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. 1.7. Return or Purchase of Equipment at End of Lease Period. Upon the completion of your lease term or any extension thereof, you will have the option to (a) return the Equipment to us; (b) purchase the Equipment from us for its then fair market value, calculated as a percentage of the aggregate lease payments in accordance with the following: If the term of this Lease is forty-eight (48) months or more, the buyout option as a percentage of the aggregate lease payments shall be ten percent (10%). If the term of this lease is thirty-six (36) to forty-seven (47) months, the buyout option as a percentage of the aggregate lease payments shall be fifteen percent (15%). If the term of this lease is twenty-four (24) to thirty-five (35) months, the buyout option as a percentage of the aggregate lease payments shall be twenty percent (20%); or (c) after the final lease payment has been received by FDGL, the Agreement will revert to a month-by-month rental at the existing monthly lease payment. If Client does not want to continue to rent the Equipment, then Client will be obligated to provide FDGL with 30 day written notice to terminate and return the equipment to FDGL. If we terminate the lease pursuant to Section 1.12(b) due to a default by you, then you shall immediately return the Equipment to us no later than the tenth business day after termination, or remit to us the fair market value of the Equipment as determined in good faith by us. We may collect any amounts due to us under this Section 1.7 by debiting your bank account, and to the extent we are unable to obtain full satisfaction in this manner, you agree to pay the amounts owed to us promptly upon our request. 1.8. Software License. We retain all ownership and copyright interest in and to all computer software, related documentation, technology, know-how and processes embodied in or provided in connection with the Equipment other than those owned or licensed by the manufacturer of the Equipment (collectively “Software”), and you shall have only a non-exclusive license to use the Software in your operation of the Equipment. 1.9. Limitation on Liability. We are not liable for any loss, damage or expense of any kind or nature caused directly or indirectly by the Equipment, including any damage or injury to persons or property caused by the Equipment. We are not liable for the use or maintenance of the Equipment, its failure to operate, any repairs or service to it, or by any interruption of service or loss of use of the Equipment or resulting loss of business. Our liability arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease Agreement shall not exceed the aggregate lease amount paid to us for the particular Equipment involved. In no event shall we be liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages. The remedies available to you under this Lease Agreement are your sole and exclusive remedies. 1.10. Warranties.
a) All warranties, express or implied, made to you or any other person are hereby disclaimed, including without limitation, any warranties regarding quality, suitability, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, quiet enjoyment, or non-infringement.
b) You warrant that you will only use the Equipment for commercial purposes and will not use the Equipment for any household or personal purposes. 1.11. Indemnification. You shall indemnify and hold us harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages and expenses resulting from (a) the operation, use, condition, liens against, or return of the Equipment or (b) any breach by you of any of your obligations hereunder, except to the extent any losses, liabilities, damages or expenses result from our gross negligence or willful misconduct. 1.12. Default; Remedies.
