Payouts to you of at least $25.00 will occur
when you choose to (you need to initiate
them from your commission account) on
transactions aged 90 days or more. Please
note, all checks are issued in U.S. Dollars.

transfer at this time. Interest will not
accrue on amounts in any account with the
Merchant Processor.
Merchant Services Fees.
The fee for merchant services is 95 cents
($0.95) plus 3% of the transaction. Fees for
the domain name registration and other
services are negotiated separately.
Unless otherwise stated, all fees are quoted
in U.S. Dollars. We may change our service
fees and/or credit policies at any time. You
are responsible for paying all fees
associated with use of Merchant Services and
all applicable taxes.
If you are a seller in a credit card
transaction, you understand and agree that
you are responsible for payment to Merchant
Service Provider or its agents, suppliers,
and subcontractors of all amounts and costs
related to charge-back in full and the
amount of the charge-back itself. Your
responsibility for all charge-back-related
fees and amounts will continue even in
instances where the charge-back has been
initiated after you have received the funds
or terminated your Merchant Service Provider
account. You further agree that Merchant
Service Provider or its agents, suppliers,
and subcontractors can enforce this
agreement against you and recover such
charge-back-related fees and amounts from
you in accordance with this Agreement or

agents, suppliers, and subcontractors may
have. Merchant Service Provider shall not be
obligated to facilitate payment for any
transaction for which funds have not been
provided by the buyer's issuing bank.
Merchant Service Provider collects all fees
and other amounts by subtracting the amount
the seller owes Merchant Service Provider
("Merchant Services Fees") from the funds
that Merchant Service Provider has received
from the buyer for payment to the seller for
the transaction ("Seller Funds"). Should
Merchant Services Fees exceed Seller Funds,
as a seller you authorize Merchant Service
Provider to directly debit your credit card
or UVQ account (including a commission
account, if any) for any excess amounts.
If you have a reseller account with UVQ,
there may be fees associated with such
account, in addition to the Merchant
Services Fees described in this Agreement.
You and/or your customer authorize the
Merchant Service Provider to debit the
credit card provided to the Merchant Service
Provider for this purpose. You are hereby
informed that charges for services will
appear on credit card statements as follows:
"Domain Name Registration" and/or "UVQ." You
and/or your customers agree that, prior to
contacting a credit card company in relation
to such charges, that you and/or your
customers will first contact the Merchant
Service Provider to verify the charges and
the manner of billing. You and/or your
customers agree that any chargeback by a
credit card company, for whatever reason,
whether by you, by any Sub-Reseller or
customer below your Account i) is a material
breach of this RSA, ii) is an act for which
you agree to be jointly and severally liable
to make the Merchant Service Provider whole,
iii) is an act with respect to which the
Merchant Service Provider will charge $35.00
per incident, in addition to Merchant
Services fees and other payment provider
service charges which may be charged to the
Merchant Service Provider, and iv) that the
same shall be grounds for suspension and/or
termination of the Services as well as any
other agreement or any other serviced
provided by the Merchant Service Provider.
Under such circumstances, you agree and
acknowledge that the Merchant Service
Provider may suspend your access and the
access of any of your customers to any and
all of accounts which you or your customers
may have with the Merchant Service Provider
and and that all rights to and interest in
and use of any domain name registration(s)
services, website hosting, and/or email
services, including all data hosted on the
Merchant Service Provider's systems

Service Provider. Your rights to and control
over these accounts and services may be
reinstated solely at the discretion of the
Merchant Service Provider, and subject to
receipt of the unpaid fee(s) and
then-current reinstatement fee, currently
set at US $200. You and/or your customers
agree that the Merchant Service Provider may
sell, dispose of, or retain the Collateral
if the Merchant Service Provider determines
the same to be a means of obtaining some
monetary or other satisfaction or security.

assign its rights under this section, and
other sections of this Agreement, to its
