3.0 TRANSACTION COMMITMENTS

3.1. Provider Status.

(a) Preferred POS Authorization and Capture Network. During the Term of this Agreement, TSYS’ will be the Preferred third party POS Authorization and Capture network for all COMPANY merchant business. For purposes of this Agreement, “Preferred third party POS Authorization and Capture network” shall mean that, subject to Sections 3.1(c) and 3.2 below, COMPANY will use commercially reasonable efforts to use TSYS unless TSYS’ POS Authorization and Capture Network does not provide the feature or functionality requested by a merchant.

(b) Clearing and Settlement. During the Term of this Agreement, TSYS will continue to be a provider of merchant accounting and clearing and settlement services to COMPANY.

(c) The provisions of (a) and (b) above exclude any In-House POS and Clearing and Settlement solutions utilized by COMPANY.

If COMPANY, through the acquisition of another company or assets, becomes party to a contract that would allow any one of the following three outcomes: (i) COMPANY would be obligated to meet a minimum boarding commitment; (ii) COMPANY would be allowed to access the same Services at lower pricing than offered by TSYS through this Agreement; or (iii) COMPANY would be provided with other compensation for business boarded on a new platform, COMPANY will give written notice to TSYS of such pricing, other compensation, or minimum commitments and TSYS will have thirty (30) days to match such pricing, other compensation, or buyout those minimums in writing.

If TSYS fails to achieve any Critical Service Level as defined in Exhibit “0” attached hereto for a given month, then COMPANY’s minimum Boarding Commitment for that month will be suspended without penalty. When determining whether COMPANY’s failure to meet the minimum Boarding Commitments is the first, second or third failure as set forth below, any month in which a Critical Service Level is not met will not count as a month in which a failure occurred. TSYS shall bill COMPANY for any shortfall if COMPANY fails to meet the monthly minimum Boarding Commitments as follows (“Penalty Amounts”):

6.3. Changes and Enhancements.

(a) Mandatory Changes. TSYS will provide modifications to the Services so that the Services permit COMPANY to comply with mandatory changes in the Services imposed by changes in laws, regulations, or Card Brand Rules (the “Mandatory Changes”). Such Mandatory Changes shall be provided in accordance with TSYS’ reasonable interpretation of such mandatory changes so as to best suit the needs of TSYS’ customers generally, which interpretation shall take into consideration comments provided by COMPANY and TSYS’ other customers affected by such Mandatory Changes. TSYS does not charge its customers for April and October mandatory compliance releases (the “Releases”) and will not increase charges to COMPANY in relation to such releases. TSYS may charge COMPANY a compliance development Fee for new Service resulting from Mandatory Changes other than the Releases, so long as TSYS charges the same usage Fee to all customers receiving affected service or services materially similar to the affected service. This Section will be subject to COMPANY’s audit rights under Section 12.3.

(b) Core Products and Services. TSYS may discontinue providing, to its customers generally, a Core Product (Dial/SSL/IP authorization and capture, clearing and settlement services, settlement files, MMS, MAS, and web-reporting) provided that (i) TSYS provides COMPANY at least [***] prior written notice; (ii) TSYS provides a replacement product or service that delivers the same level of functionality and performance; (iii) the price that COMPANY pays for the new product will be no greater than the price paid for the prior product; and (iv) there will not be a materially adverse effect on the business or operations of COMPANY.

6.5. System Changes.

(c) TSYS will utilize commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any System Change does not (i) adversely impact the Services then being received by COMPANY so as to cause an increase in COMPANY’S total costs of receiving the Services or requiring material changes to COMPANY’S facilities, systems, software or equipment; or (ii) degrade the Services then being received by COMPANY; or (ii) interfere with COMPANY’S ability to obtain the full benefit of the Services. In the event any of the impacts listed above are material in nature, they would be defined as a “Materially Adverse Impact”.

In order to be eligible for any remedy, COMPANY must notify TSYS within ninety (90) days of when the Materially Adverse Impact occurred so that TSYS will have the opportunity, for a period of ninety (90) days thereafter, to rescind or fully mitigate the Materially Adverse Impact. Should TSYS be unwilling or unable to do so, then each applicable remedy listed below would be available to COMPANY:

(i) To the extent any discontinuance of a product or service, or System Change impacts COMPANY’S ability to meet the minimum Boarding Commitments set forth in Section 3.2, COMPANY shall be relieved from incurring a penalty for the resulting minimum shortfall;

(ii) To the extent any discontinuance of a product or service, or System Change impacts COMPANY’S ability to meet a higher pricing volume tier (e.g., a higher volume of transactions resulting in a lower per transaction price) related to the fees for the Services, COMPANY shall thereafter be given credit for any favorable pricing treatment of remaining volumes not attained due to the lost transaction volumes;

(iii) In the event of a Materially Adverse Impact, COMPANY may, at its option, discontinue any Preferred Provider status conveyed to TSYS under this Agreement for any product impacted by the Materially Adverse Impact; and

(g) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, TSYS may make temporary System Changes required by an emergency without prior notice to COMPANY. TSYS shall document and report such emergency changes to COMPANY promptly after the change is made.

(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that TSYS is required to make a System Change due to a change in the Card Brand Rules or applicable Law and Regulations, then (i) TSYS shall provide COMPANY with as much advance notice as is reasonable under the circumstances; (ii) TSYS will, soliciting input from COMPANY, utilize commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any operational solution minimizes the adverse impact upon COMPANY resulting from the System Change; and (iii) if the System Change results in a material adverse financial impact due to TSYS’ unique operating environment, then COMPANY may terminate the Agreement as per Section 19.1(a).

6.6. Agent Requirements. In accordance with applicable Card Brand Rules related to the registration and use of agents and merchant servicers, TSYS shall:

(a) Identify to Visa, U.S.A. all agents communicating with TSYS and identify all BINs to which any such agent submitted transactions during the quarterly reporting period;

For the avoidance of doubt:

(a) Switching a transaction from one TSYS authorization and capture method to another TSYS authorization and capture method does not constitute a Deconversion;

(b) Unsolicited merchant or ISO attrition does not qualify as a Deconversion; and

(c) Switching a merchant or merchants from the Services due to a failure of TSYS to provide the Services in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement does not constitute a Deconversion.

(e) Monthly charges shall be computed based on a calendar month and will not be prorated for any partial month.

The Parties agree that the only circumstance in which disputes between them shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 18.1 is when a Party makes a good faith determination that a material breach or threatened breach of the terms of this Agreement by the other Party is such that injunctive or other equitable relief is the only appropriate and adequate remedy. Accordingly, in addition to other remedies available to it, the affected Party will be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief to remedy any threatened or actual breach of any portion of this Agreement. If a Party files a pleading with a court seeking immediate injunctive relief and this pleading is challenged by the other Party and the injunctive relief sought is not awarded in substantial part, then the Party filing the pleading seeking immediate injunctive relief shall pay all of the costs and attorneys’ fees of the Party successfully challenging the pleading.

Exhibit Y

ISO Revenue Share Program

 

 

This Exhibit is provided to determine and define the terms and conditions of the ISO Revenue Share Program (the “Program”) between TSYS and COMPANY. Program shall be conducted under the following terms and conditions:

 

1. Independent Sales Organization (“ISO”)

For purposes of this amendment, an “ISO” shall be i) any entity whose bankcard related business relationship with COMPANY involves the solicitation of merchants for bankcard sales and services, including transaction processing, and ii) who has been registered with the card brands by COMPANY via its Acquirer as a Third Party Service Provider. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Third Party Service Provider shall not be eligible for participation in the Program if such party submits transactions to TSYS or the card brands via a proprietary or in house gateway or network.

 

2. Program Revenue

The Program Revenue will be equal to [***] of the revenue received by COMPANY after payment of all applicable obligations to the ISO (the “Program Revenue”) within the Program. For the avoidance of doubt, Program Revenue includes all revenue billed to merchants (excluding charges for hardware) less Interchange, Dues and Assessments and applicable obligations paid to the ISO partner. Program Revenue does not include any recovery of fines, chargeback transactions or other merchant or ISO recoveries related to transactions. The cost of supporting the Program and any Merchant Services provided are borne by each party, and are excluded from the Program Revenues.

 

3. Risk Premium

In the event that Company assumes the risk of losses associated with an ISO participating in the Program, the Risk Premium (as defined herein) shall be deducted from the Program Revenue prior to splitting the revenue between the parties per Section 4 below. The Risk Premium shall be calculated by multiplying the percentage of losses contractually assumed by COMPANY (i.e. based on the contract between the ISO and COMPANY), by [***], which shall then be multiplied by the dollar sales volumes of such ISO for the applicable period (the “Risk Premium”). The Risk Premium calculation shall only be applicable in the event COMPANY assumes all or part of the risk of loss caused by items including, but not limited to, unpaid chargebacks generated by the ISO’s merchant customers.

6. Termination

COMPANY agrees that TSYS may terminate MERCHANT’S access to the designated Address if TSYS believes:

 

  6.1 That COMPANY or MERCHANT has violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of this TOU,

 

  6.2 That MERCHANT has violated the rights of TSYS or that MERCHANT’S continued use of the Address poses a material threat to the security, stability, or ongoing operation of TSYS systems or services.

COMPANY acknowledges and agrees that any termination of access to the Address under any provision of this Agreement may be effected without prior notice.

 

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

COMPANY expressly agrees that use of the Address is at MERCHANT’S sole risk.

 

  7.1 TSYS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

TSYS® Guardian Products Descriptions

 

1. TSYS Guardian Products Descriptions

 

  1.1 Point-to-Point Encryption

Point-to-Point encryption is a means of protecting debit and credit card data while it transmits from an enabled POS terminal to the TSYS processing platforms.

 

  1.1.1   Triple Data Encryption Standard (“TDES”)

TDES is a block cryptogram derived from the DES cipher repeated three times. TDES is also known as TDEA (Triple Data Encryption Algorithm – FIPS publication 140-2).

 

  1.1.2   Format-Preserving Encryption (“FPE”)

FPE is encryption performed in a way that the output (also known as the ciphertext) is in the same format as the input (the plaintext). The preserved format can be in length or in length and type (numeric). The algorithm used in FPE encryption is a symmetric-key algorithm, which means the same key is used for both encrypting and decrypting the data.

 

  1.2 PCI Compliance Solution

TSYS, through its preferred partner, offers a PCI Compliance solution to COMPANY and merchants. The PCI Compliance solution guides COMPANY and merchants through the PCI compliance process, the PCI Self-Assessment Questionnaire, and vulnerability scanning.

 

  1.3 Tokenization

Tokenization replaces transaction data with randomly generated codes or “tokens”. When an authorized requestor submits a request for a unique token, it is generated and returned to the authorized requestor for use in transaction processing and billing updates.

 

2. TSYS Guardian Pricing

  3.2 The transaction fees set forth above exclude the underlying authorization and capture fees which will be charged separately per the pricing, terms, and conditions set forth in the Agreement.

  3.5 Point-to-Point Encryption (TDES and FPE) and Tokenization software licenses (collectively, the “Licensed Software”) will terminate if and when COMPANY or the merchant ceases to use TSYS for authorization and capture services. All terminated Licenses shall revert to TSYS and may not be resold by COMPANY to any third parties, including other COMPANY merchants.

 

  3.6 The Licensed Software shall only be operated on merchant terminals and terminal software applications certified to TSYS and in conformance with the specifications required for interfacing with the TSYS System. At implementation, TSYS will provide support for the integration of the Licensed Software to the TSYS System.

  3.9.2 Title to and ownership of the Licensed Software remains with TSYS and its suppliers.

 

  3.9.3 Neither COMPANY nor the merchant may (a) alter or modify the Licensed Software, (b) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or in any way attempt to derive the Source Code for the Licensed Software, or (c) transfer the Licensed Software to any third party or make the Licensed Software available to any third party as part of any time-sharing or service bureau arrangement.

 

  3.9.4 Neither COMPANY nor the merchant will export or re-export the Licensed Software without the appropriate United States or foreign government licenses.

4. License; Distribution Rights / Limited Warranty

 

  4.1 Subject to the terms of this Exhibit, TSYS hereby grants to COMPANY a non-exclusive, non-assignable, non-sublicensable, limited right and license to distribute, and to permit access and distribution by designated employees, and agents, to the Licensed Software from TSYS’ servers for the sole and exclusive purpose of enabling TSYS to provide the Licensed Software to COMPANY’s merchants and for such merchants to process transactions.

 

  4.2 In addition, TSYS hereby grants to COMPANY a non-exclusive, non-assignable, non-sub-licensable right and license to use the Licensed Software user guides, technical specifications, white papers and marketing and sales collateral provided to COMPANY by TSYS (“Documentation”); such Documentation to be used solely for internal training and technical support purposes and/or solely in conjunction with COMPANY’s distribution of Licensed Software.

 

  4.3 Limited Warranty for Licensed Software

TSYS represents and warrants that, with respect to the Licensed Software furnished to COMPANY, for a period of ninety (90) days following installation of the original Licensed Software at the merchant location(s) (the “Warranty Period”); such software shall materially conform to applicable specifications. If COMPANY provides TSYS with written notice of any material defect (“Defect”) during the Warranty Period (identifying in reasonable detail the nature of the Defect), then TSYS will repair such Defect, at TSYS’ sole cost and expense. If TSYS is unable to repair the Defect during a ninety (90) day period following notice of the Defect within the Warranty Period, TSYS may, or COMPANY may, as TSYS’ sole liability and COMPANY’s sole remedy, terminate this Exhibit. Any Defect identified after the Warranty Period, and any other defects with respect to such software, will not be covered by the warranty. The above warranty will not apply to any Defect to the extent caused by (i) COMPANY’s misuse or modification of the software (other than as expressly directed or approved in writing by TSYS); or (ii) COMPANY’s failure to install corrections or enhancements to the software which have been made available by TSYS; or (iii) COMPANY’s use of the software in a manner that deviates from the applicable specifications.
