CD Schedule B

 

Content Direct Services

The Content Direct System is packaged as a set of Content Direct Application Server Modules that provide their capabilities through a set of Content Direct Web Services to Content Direct User Applications.  The Content Direct System is more specifically defined in the Documentation, and the below general descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Documentation.  The specific Content Direct System configuration made available by CSG to Customer shall be as set forth in each CD Service Order executed by the Parties. Customer acknowledges that the Content Direct System shall not include the telecommunications connections to and from the Internet, the Compatible Interfaces (as defined below), the Customer Site and, if provisioned, a Performance Testing Environment.

 

CSG shall provide the Content Direct System and Content Direct Services to Customer in English (U.S.).  If Customer requests the Content Direct System or Content Direct Services to be provided in a language other than English (U.S.), such provision shall be subject to ********** ****** ****, and the Parties will specify the fees, terms and conditions of such implementation(s) in the applicable Order Document(s).

 

The Content Direct Application Server Modules deployed for a given Content Direct System deployment shall be described in the applicable CD Service Order.

 

The Content Direct Web Services made available for a given Content Direct System shall be described in the applicable CD Service Order.

 

The Content Direct Back-Office User Applications made available for a given Content Direct System shall be described in the applicable CD Service Order.

 

Embedded Third Party Software

 

Payment Processor Gateway Service.  The Content Direct Services are integrated with a payment processor gateway partner for effective and secure credit card payment processing.  The payment processor gateway encrypts Consumer Information to ensure that information passes securely between the Content Direct Services and Customer’s credit card processing partner to authorize credit cards and settle credit card transactions for deposit of funds with the Customer’s designated merchant bank (the “Payment Processor Gateway Service”).  CSG will provide the Payment Processor Gateway Service to Customer as part of the Content Direct Services; provided Customer must establish its own relationship with its merchant bank.  

Customer has two options to process authorization, reversal, refund and settlement transactions attempted and processed through the Payment Processor Gateway Service for bank/credit cards, debit cards and similar payments (each, a “Gateway Transaction”):  (i) Customer may use CSG’s payment processing relationship with *********** ***********, in which case each Gateway Transaction shall be referred to as a “CSG Gateway Transaction”, or (ii) Customer may establish and use its own payment processing relationship with *********** ***********, in which case each Gateway Transaction shall be referred to as a “Customer Gateway Transaction”.  Each CD Service Order shall specify whether Customer is processing CSG Gateway Transactions or Customer Gateway Transactions, and any change shall require the Parties to execute an amendment to such CD Service Order.

 


FOIA CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUEST BY

CSG SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL, INC.

 

Each CSG Gateway Transaction shall be subject to * *** ******* *********** *** ** ********** ** * ** ******* *****, and ** *** shall be charged for Customer’s processing of a Customer Gateway Transaction.

Payment Processor and bank interchange fees and other related card and bank processing fees are not included in the fees for CSG Gateway Transactions and are additional charges billed by third parties.  CSG Gateway Transactions will be invoiced to Customer on a ******** ***** basis. 

Customer acknowledges that if it processes Customer Gateway Transaction and the Payment Processor Gateway Service is unable to process a Customer Gateway Transaction caused by *********** *********** or any party other than CSG (a “Payment Processing Interruption”), then CSG shall have no responsibility or liability to Customer for such Payment Processing Interruption, and Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be with *********** ***********.

 

Taxing.  The Content Direct Services are integrated with taxing software from ********* ***. (“********”). Customer will not be charged for the use of the standard U.S. and International Sales and Use Module from ********.  If Customer needs taxing capabilities other than the standard U.S. and International Sales and Use Module, or Customer requests to utilize taxing software from a provider other than ********, the Parties will negotiate the fees, terms and conditions applicable to such additional taxing software and configuration.

 

Compatible Interfaces

The means by which Customer can access the Content Direct System and Content Direct Services as of the Effective Date, including the Content Direct Web Services, are set forth below (the “Compatible Interfaces”).  CSG may update the Compatible Interfaces from time to time in its reasonable discretion by providing Customer advance notice consistent with good industry practices, provided CSG shall not cease supporting any item identified below without providing at least *****-**** (**) **** prior written notice to Customer.

 

The Back Office Applications (as described on this CD Schedule B) of the Content Direct System can be accessed through the public Internet via a PC/Mac on all standard browsers (properly configured) that support the *********** ******* ****-**.  

 

Content Direct Web Services are accessed through a **** ** *** ******** running over **********.

 

It is assumed that all Customer-initiated connectivity to the Production Environment and Sandbox Environment will be coming through a TCP/IP enabled broadband connection.
