All Partner Merchants who request additional accounts or related goods and services shall be referred to Partner for providing said items; iv) in addition, it is understood that the Approved Scan Vendor (ASV) or Provider shall have the right to contact the Partner Merchants should such contact be required for completion of scans and/or based on other Payment Brand mandates; v) Partner also agrees to designate an individual as the authorized contact person on the "set up binder" to receive, review, prepare, and approve work applicable to the Services and data uploading of the MIDs on at least a monthly basis for monthly billed Partner Merchants and on an annual bases for annual billed Partner Merchants; vi) Partner also agrees and understands that full authority is granted to the Partner to assist the Merchants in completing their PCI requirements on the Portal. Therefore any assistance provided by Partner to the Merchant including but not limited to the entire completion of SAQ selection and/or completion is completed at Partners full risk and liability even if tools are available by Provider it is Partners responsibility to use such tools correctly. Also the loading, disabling, and/or errors or omissions of Merchant or Merchant data due to Partners action or inaction are Partner’s sole liability as Provider has no access to validate or invalidate such data on Partner’s behalf; vii) Partner shall also promptly provide up to date data, original logo art graphics, and other required electronic submissions as reasonably requested by Provider within a reasonable time frame as to complete the set-up of the Portal.
2.
OBLIGATIONS OF PROVIDER.
Provider will designate an individual or a team of individuals who has the authority to review and approve data for uploads, accept orders for Services to be provided by Provider to a Partner Merchant (collectively, “Orders”) and any other work as presented on a monthly basis. Provider will notify Partner on the acceptance of such Orders and until that time of acceptance Provider has no obligation to fill that Order. Provider shall also store Partner Merchant’s SAQ and certificates for scanning as per PCI DSS compliance requirements for a minimum of one (1) year or as required by the Payment Brand rules.
3.
FEES.
Services rendered under this T & C’s are subject to fees payable by Partner as set forth in the Agreement and its Exhibits. These Exhibits may be amended only as agreed by either parties via facsimile or mail from time to time, with no less than sixty (60) days prior written notice. Pricing is inclusive of basic support, training and general consulting, and loading for Partner Merchants. A written quote will be provided prior to any additional work being completed, should such additional design work be requested by Partner.
4.
BILLING
It is further agreed that any MID loaded to the Portal shall be billed for a minimum of one calendar year. Partner may disable the MID’s ability to view their account Portal prior to the completion of this one year period but the Service shall maintain that MID data for no less than one year even if in disabled status. No credit shall be given for any disabled, cancelled, or deleted MIDs on the Portal as all Services are considered to be annual licenses regardless of billing model chosen by Partner (whether monthly or annual). MIDs that are deactivated at Partner’s direction will not be credited but this action will disable Partner Merchant’s ability to login to the Portal. Terminated MIDs identified one month prior to the next billing period will remove that MID from the next cycle for billing, however, any partial period or unused portion of the Service shall not be credited. Any MID on the Portal during the calendar month for any period of time triggers billing for that MID for that calendar month. MIDs not removed prior to the next billing period shall be renewed for a new period and likewise will not be credited. Any MID which utilizes a self-payment module shall have access open until such a time that the Services are provided for the full term paid by the Merchant.
5.
ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION.
Provider and Partner agree that (i) electronic transmission and approval of Orders are deemed to satisfy any legal formalities, (ii) neither Party will contest the validity or enforceability of any such electronic transmission under any applicable statute of frauds, and (iii) computer maintained records when produced in hard copy form constitute business records and have the same validity as any other generally recognized business records.
6.
BILLING CORRECTION AND ACCEPTANCE OF ORDERS.
(i) A monthly invoice shall be provided for the prior month’s activity on approximately the tenth (10th) of each calendar month. The billing will be deemed applicable upon review by Partner. Billing shall be via delivery of electronic mail (email) sent to the Partner’s designated billing contact. (ii) Partner shall have until the sixteenth (16th) calendar day of that month to request adjustments prior to billing. The ACH collection shall be transmitted for the prior month’s activity on the twenty first (21st) of each month. Should the twenty first (21st) calendar day fall on a weekend or bank holiday, then, the due date (ACH billing date) shall be that next business day. Should Partner, upon review of the invoice provided by Provider note potential errors or discrepancies then that invoice shall be deemed disputed. (iii) It is agreed that any disputed amount over one thousand dollars ($1,000) on that billing period shall suspend collection of the billing for seven (7) additional business days or until approximately the twenty eighth (28th) of the calendar month. Only the undisputed portion shall be billed on the billing date. The disputed portion of the invoice shall not be billed until a resolution is made before the end of that calendar month. If it is determined by the Parties that resolution cannot be made on the invoice prior to the time frame defined herein, then the invoice shall remain unpaid until the next monthly billing period. Disputes fewer than one thousand dollars ($1,000) shall bill as invoiced and adjustments (if any) shall be made in the next billing period. If any Services contain errors or otherwise do not conform to specifications as set herein, or should such an error or nonconformance not be attributable to any act or omission of Partner, its customers, employees, or their agents, Provider will correct the deficiencies within a mutually agreed upon time period at no additional cost to Partner. This correction shall be provided only should Partner notify Provider of such error or deficiency within sixty (60) days of discovered error or omission.
7.
STATEMENTS AND LATE PAYMENTS.
Statements are to be paid in full as defined herein. Partner shall execute an ACH billing method to be used for payment of invoices upon execution of Agreement.

These costs (if any are calculated) shall be added to Partner’s invoice principle amount and be subject to the monthly service charge. Should undisputed amounts payable hereunder go beyond forty five (45) days past due, then access to Portals, logins, and compliance tools may be suspended, or Merchant’s will be set to “self-payment” where they will be instructed to use a credit card for Services, either as to be determined at Provider’s sole discretion. Should payment be beyond the forty five (45) days past due then at Providers sole discretion additional services such as but not limited to Full Support or Breach Protection shall be terminated. In the event that collection action is initiated, then Partner agrees to pay any and all of Provider’s reasonable expenses associated with such collection efforts.
