PAYPAL ONLINE CARD PAYMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT

(Previously the separate PayPal Website Payments Pro and Virtual Terminal agreement and the Advanced Credit and Debit Card Payments and Virtual Terminal agreement)

This PayPal Online Card Payments Services Agreement (“Agreement”) is a contract between you (“Merchant”, “you” and “your”) and PayPal Canada Co. (“PayPal”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) and governs your use of the Online Card Payment Services. You must read, agree with, and accept all of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and the PayPal User Agreement to use any of the Products or Services set forth herein. By continuing to use any such Products or Services, you also agree to remain in compliance with all of the terms and conditions in this Agreement and the PayPal User Agreement, so please read all of the terms and conditions carefully.

This Agreement, the PayPal User Agreement, and any other applicable agreement(s) you have entered into with PayPal (collectively “PayPal Agreements”) shall apply to your use of the Services through the Products. If any inconsistency exists between the terms of the PayPal User Agreement and this Agreement, then, except for Express Checkout, the terms of this Agreement shall control in connection with your use of the Services through any Product. The terms of the PayPal User Agreement shall control for any inconsistency for Express Checkout.

We may amend or otherwise revise this Agreement and any applicable policies from time to time. The revised version will be effective at the time we post it unless otherwise noted. If our changes reduce your rights or increase your responsibilities, we will provide you with at least thirty (30) days' prior notice of such change (and at least ninety (90) days’ prior notice of any fee increase or the introduction of a new fee related to credit or debit card transactions which applies to you), by posting notice on the Policy Updates page of our website. If you would like to receive notification by email of new Policy Updates, then you may do so by logging into your PayPal account and selecting this option by going to My Account > Profile > Account Information > Notifications. By continuing to use our Services after any changes to this Agreement, you agree to abide and be bound by those changes. If you do not agree with any changes to this Agreement, you may, as applicable, terminate your use of the Services before such changes become effective and/or close your account.

You understand and agree that you are providing PayPal with your consent and authorizing PayPal to obtain your personal and/or business credit report from a credit reporting agency for the purpose of processing your application for PayPal Services. You further understand and agree that you are authorizing PayPal to obtain your credit report on an ongoing basis for account review purposes, including whenever we reasonably believe there may be an increased level of risk associated with your business account. You have the right to review your credit report file and correct errors by contacting the consumer reporting agency.

a. PayPal Services Fees. Fees for the Services may be charged on a monthly basis or per transaction. The fees you pay for the applicable Services can be found on the Merchant Fees page. All fees are in Canadian Dollars unless otherwise stated.

b. General Payment Terms.

i. Monthly Fees. For PayPal Payments Advanced or PayPal Payments Pro, monthly fees are payable in arrears. All other applicable monthly fees for the Services will be charged in advance, unless otherwise set forth herein or on the Merchant Fees page. Monthly fees are paid on a calendar month basis.

ii. Transaction Fees. For fees charged per transaction, the fee amount will be deducted from the transaction amount at the time of the transaction. You are liable for all claims, expenses, fines, and liability PayPal incurs arising out of your use of the Products or Services.

iii. Non-Refundable. All fees are non-refundable.

c. Additional Terms for Interchange Plus Plus Fee Structure.

For certain Products (“Eligible Products”), you may choose to be charged under the Interchange Plus Plus Fee Structure (“Interchange Plus Plus” or “IC++”). If you elect to activate Interchange Plus Plus pricing for the Eligible Products in your PayPal account settings, then the following terms will apply to you:

i. Interchange Plus Plus Fee Structure. Interchange Pass-through Costs will be passed through to you in addition to the fees set forth on the Merchant Fees page which correspond to Interchange Plus Plus or IC++ pricing (collectively “Interchange Plus Plus” or “IC++”). Interchange Plus Plus fees will be charged monthly, and all other applicable fees will continue to be charged as outlined in this Agreement or on the Merchant Fees page.

ii. Gross Settlement. PayPal will invoice you on a monthly basis (“Fee Invoice”) for all fees, charges, or other amounts accrued in connection with your use of the Eligible Products (“Gross Settlement”).

iii. Currency Conversion. (a) PayPal may allow you to choose the currency in which the Fee Invoice will be billed (“Fee Invoice Currency”). If you have accepted transactions in currencies other than the Fee Invoice Currency, then PayPal will convert those currencies into the Fee Invoice Currency at the time of Fee Invoice generation. (b) PayPal may allow you to pay the Fee Invoice in the denominated currency of the linked bank account you nominate for debiting amounts owed to PayPal (“Linked Bank Account Currency”). If the Fee Invoice Currency is different from the Linked Bank Account Currency, PayPal will convert the amount of the Fee Invoice into the Linked Bank Account Currency at the time of debiting. If PayPal converts currency under this section, it will be completed at an exchange rate that we set for the relevant currency exchange. The exchange rate is based on rates within the wholesale currency markets on the conversion day or the prior business day; or, if required by law or regulation, at the relevant governmental reference rate(s).

iv. Pre-Authorized Debit (PAD) Authorization. By requesting Interchange Plus Plus services and providing your bank account information, you hereby authorize PayPal to request that your financial institution initiate PADs from your linked bank account (or any other bank account you may designate from time to time) (“Linked Bank Account”) for the purposes of paying fees owing by you to PayPal in connection with your use of the Eligible Products. You agree that we may issue authorization requests for PADs to your financial institution from such bank account, in each case, in the variable amount on or shortly after the payment due date set out on the Fee Invoice (the “Fee Invoice Date”) we issue to you from time-to-time in connection with your use of the Eligible Products, or, if such date is on a weekend or statutory holiday, on the next business day (“Gross Settlement Payments”). If necessary, you also authorize PayPal to credit your account to correct erroneous debits and for fees, charges, or other amounts arising from your use of the Eligible Products. You agree to provide PayPal with all necessary bank account information, including any updates to such information, and grant PayPal permission to debit, setoff, or credit amounts due in respect of all Gross Settlement Payments from or to your linked bank account on the Fee Invoice Date or a date otherwise notified by PayPal, or if this payment fails, on a further date(s) as notified by PayPal (“PAD Authorization”). You warrant and guarantee that the bank account information for the Linked Bank Account you provide to PayPal belongs to you and you are the person who can authorize the approval of withdrawals from such bank account. YOU WAIVE ANY REQUIREMENT THAT PAYPAL GIVE PRE-NOTIFICATION OF ANY PAYMENT AMOUNT OR CHANGE OF PAYMENT DATE, AND YOU AGREE THAT A COPY OF THIS AUTHORIZATION WILL BE PROVIDED TO YOU WITHIN 5 CALENDAR DAYS OF THE FIRST PAD.

v. If both debit attempts fail, PayPal may:

• deduct these amounts from your PayPal account balance;
• engage in collection efforts to recover the amount due from you; or
• take any or all actions as provided herein or in the PayPal User Agreement.

vi. Cancellation. This PAD authorization will remain in effect until all amounts owing by you to PayPal with respect to your use of the Eligible Products are paid in full or until notice of its termination is provided in accordance with this PAD authorization. You may deactivate IC++ at any time and revoke your PAD Authorization by providing 30 days’ notice to PayPal in your PayPal account settings ("IC++ Deactivation”). However, PayPal may continue to debit, credit or setoff from your Linked Bank Account amounts due for the period up to the date of IC++ Deactivation. You acknowledge that IC++ Deactivation and/or revocation of this PAD authorization does not terminate, cancel, reduce, or otherwise affect the obligations you owe to PayPal, under this Agreement, the User Agreement or any other agreements with PayPal. You may obtain more information on your right to cancel a PAD Agreement at your financial institution or by visiting www.payments.ca.

ix. Recourse Rights. You have certain recourse rights if any PAD does not comply with this PAD Authorization. For more information on your recourse rights, you may contact your financial institution or visit Payments Canada.

x. If you have any questions about the fees, charges, or amounts found in your invoices, please contact us.

d. Service-Specific Payment Terms.

i. VT Terms. If you use Virtual Terminal only, you authorize PayPal to charge your PayPal account for fees that become due under this Agreement. In the event that PayPal is unable to recover any fee amount that is due from your PayPal account, PayPal may terminate your use of the Services within thirty (30) days of the date that the fee was due and you will remain obligated to pay PayPal for any unpaid amounts. If you use Website Payments Pro and choose to have your fees under this Agreement charged to your PayPal account, the terms of this Section 2.d.i. apply.

ii. PayPal Payments Advanced and PayPal Payments Pro Terms. If you use PayPal Payments Advanced or PayPal Payments Pro, you authorize PayPal to charge the credit card that you provided when you registered for these Products for fees that become due under this Agreement. If you use Website Payments Pro and choose to have your fees under this Agreement charged to your credit card, the terms of this Section 2.d.ii. apply.

iii. Required Use of PayPal-Hosted Pages for PayPal Payments Advanced. PayPal Payments Advanced requires the exclusive use of PayPal-hosted templates on your checkout pages to process payments. If you use PayPal Payments Advanced to process payment sales or authorizations on non-PayPal hosted pages, you may be charged the higher monthly fee for using PayPal Payments Pro instead of the PayPal Payments Advanced monthly fee, but you may not receive full access to all features of PayPal Payments Pro. PayPal may implement this fee increase in its sole discretion at any time with thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to you. You agree to terminate your use of the Services if you do not agree to this fee.

e. Promotional Period. If you have signed up for the Services pursuant to a promotional period, you agree to pay any applicable monthly fee upon the expiration of a promotional period offered by PayPal.

f. Failure to Use Express Checkout. If you fail to comply with the requirement to use Express Checkout described in Section 8, you may be subject to up to a 1% fee increase to your then current Transaction Fee rate. This fee may be included in your initial rate when you first sign up for the Services, or may be added at any time by PayPal with at least ninety (90) days’ prior written notice of the fee increase. You agree to terminate your use of the Services if you do not agree to this fee.

g. Risk Factors Fee. If PayPal determines that your PayPal account receives, or is likely to receive, a disproportionately high number of customer complaints, Reversals, chargebacks, disputes, claims, fees, fines, penalties or other liability (collectively “Risk Factors”), you may be subject to up to a 5% fee increase above your then current Transaction Fee rate. This fee may be added to your initial rate when you first sign up for the Services, or may be added at any time by PayPal with at least ninety (90) days’ prior notice of the fee increase. You agree to terminate your use of the Services if you do not agree to this Fee.

h. Processing Requirements. You agree to submit only any transactions for processing which represent a bona fide, permissible transaction free of liens, claims, and encumbrances other than ordinary sales taxes; as outlined in this Agreement and in the Card Company Rules, or which accurately describes the product or services being sold or the charitable donations being made. You authorize PayPal to submit transactions to and receive settlement from American Express and to disclose transaction and merchant information to American Express to perform analytics and create reports, and for any other lawful business purposes, including commercial marketing communications purposes and important transactional or relationship communications. You also agree to ensure data quality and that any Data is processed promptly, accurately and completely, and complies with the Card Companies’ technical specifications. You agree not to process transactions or receive payments on behalf of any other party or redirect payments to any other party. You agree not to bill or collect from any cardholder for any purchase or payment on the card unless you have the right to do so under the Card Company Rules.

a. General. You are fully responsible for the security of data on your website or otherwise in your possession or control. You agree to comply with all applicable laws and rules in connection with your collection, security and dissemination of any personal, financial, Card, or transaction information (defined as “Data”) on your website. You must report any Data breach or incident to PayPal and the Card Companies immediately after discovery of the incident.

b. PCI DSS Compliance.

i. Merchant PCI Compliance. You agree that at all times you shall be compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS), the Payment Application Data Security Standards (PA DSS), and any Card Company data security requirements, as applicable. You agree to promptly provide us with documentation evidencing your compliance with PCI DSS, PA DSS, or other Card Company data security requirements, if requested by us. You also agree that you will use only PCI compliant service providers in connection with the storage, or transmission of Card Data. You must not store CVV2 Data at any time.

Your customers’ Card Data is handled by PayPal if: (a) your Service is PayPal Payments Advanced, or (b) your Service is PayPal Payments Pro and you choose to activate the “transparent redirect” feature and integrate the feature properly per PayPal’s instructions.

If you are accessing the Products through a platform service partner, you acknowledge that your platform service partner may offer solutions that help you comply with certain of these Merchant PCI compliance standards. While the platform service partner may help you comply or perform certain obligations on your behalf, you remain liable for compliance with these Merchant PCI Compliance standards.

ii. PayPal PCI Compliance. PayPal agrees that it shall comply with the applicable PCI DSS requirements, as such may be amended from time to time, with respect to all cardholder data received by it in connection with this Agreement. PayPal acknowledges that it is responsible for the security of cardholder data it possesses or otherwise stores, processes or transmits on behalf of the Merchant, or to the extent that they could impact the security of the Merchant’s cardholder data environment.

c. Data Usage. Unless you receive the express consent of your customer, you may not retain, track, monitor, store or otherwise use Data beyond the scope of the specific transaction. Further, unless you get the express written consent of PayPal and each Acquiring Bank and/or the Card Companies, as applicable, you agree that you will not use nor disclose the Card Data for any purpose other than to support payment for your goods and services. Card Data must be completely removed from your systems, and any other place where you store Card Data, within 24 hours after you receive an authorization decision unless you have received the express consent of your customer to retain the Card Data for the sole purpose of processing recurring payments. To the extent that Card Data resides on your systems and other storage locations, it should do so only for the express purpose of processing your transactions. All Data and other information provided to you by PayPal in relationship to the Services and all Card Data will remain the property of PayPal, its Acquiring Bank or the Card Companies, as appropriate.

If you are using Advanced Credit and Debit Card Payments and VT for payments received through a partner platform service provider, you may not be receiving Card Data, but may receive other confidential information about another PayPal customer in order to fulfill the transaction and you will continue to be bound by the terms of our PayPal User Agreement.

d. Password Security. You agree to restrict use and access to your password and log-on ID to your employees and agents as may be reasonably necessary and you will ensure that each such employee or agent complies with the terms of this Agreement. You will not give, transfer, assign, sell, resell or otherwise dispose of the information and materials provided to you to utilize the Services. You are solely responsible for maintaining adequate security and control of any and all IDs, passwords, or any other codes that are issued to you by PayPal, each Acquiring Bank or the Card Companies.

e. Audit. If PayPal believes that a security breach or compromise of Data has occurred, PayPal may require you to have a third-party auditor that is approved by PayPal conduct a security audit of your systems and facilities and issue a report to be provided to PayPal, the Acquiring Banks and the Card Companies. In the event that you fail to initiate an audit within ten (10) business days of PayPal’s request, PayPal may conduct or obtain such an audit at your expense. In addition, the Card Companies may conduct an audit at any time, for the purpose of determining compliance with the Card Company Rules.

f. Compliance with Data Protection Addendum. You, as a Merchant, and PayPal agree to comply with the PayPal Data Protection Addendum for Card Processing Products found here (the “Data Protection Addendum”), which forms part of this Agreement. The terms of the Data Protection Addendum prevail over any conflicting terms in this Agreement relating to data protection and privacy.

g. Data Portability. Upon any termination or expiration of this Agreement, PayPal agrees, upon your written request, to provide your new Acquiring Bank or payment service provider (“Data Recipient”) with any available credit card information including personal data relating to your Customers (“Card Information”). In order to do so, you must provide PayPal with all requested information including proof that the Data Recipient is in compliance with the Association PCI-DSS Requirements and is level 1 PCI compliant. PayPal agrees to transfer the Card Information to the Data Recipient so long as the following applies: (a) you provide PayPal with proof that the Data Recipient is in compliance with the Association PCI-DSS Requirements (Level 1 PCI compliant) by providing PayPal a certificate or report on compliance with the Association PCI-DSS Requirements from a qualified provider and any other information reasonably requested by PayPal; (b) the transfer of such Card Information is compliant with the latest version of the Association PCI-DSS Requirements; and (c) the transfer of such Card Information is allowed under the applicable Association Rules, and any applicable laws, rules or regulations (including data protection laws).

If you accept American Express cards pursuant to this Agreement, the following additional terms will apply to you:

a. You agree to accept American Express Cards and Japan Credit Bureau (JCB)-branded cards, in accordance with the American Express Program Merchant Guide, including the Data Security Requirements, as amended from time to time. American Express may use the information obtained in your application at the time of setup to screen and/or monitor you in connection with American Express Card marketing and administrative purposes.

b. You authorize PayPal to submit transactions to and receive settlement from American Express and to disclose transaction and merchant information to American Express in order for American Express to use such information to perform its responsibilities in connection with the American Express Card acceptance program, promote the American Express network, perform analytics and create reports, and for any other lawful business purpose, including important transactional, informational or relationship communications from American Express.

c. You may be converted from this Agreement to a direct card acceptance agreement with American Express if you reach certain monthly sales volumes with respect to your American Express transactions only. Upon conversion, (i) you will be bound by American Express’ then-current Card Acceptance Agreement; and (ii) American Express will set your pricing and other fees for American Express Card acceptance. In addition, then you also agree to the terms of the Payflow Gateway Services Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference, and which will apply to your American Express transactions only. In addition to the Payflow Gateway Services Agreement, your American Express transactions will be governed by the terms of your agreement with American Express. To the extent there is any inconsistency between the Payflow Gateway Services Agreement and your agreement with American Express, then the terms of your agreement with American Express will control but only with respect to your American Express Card transactions and only to the extent of the inconsistency.

d. American Express shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement for purposes of American Express Card acceptance. As a third-party beneficiary, American Express shall have the right to enforce directly against you the terms of this Agreement as related to American Express Card acceptance. You acknowledge and agree that American Express shall have no responsibility or liability with regard to PayPal’s obligations to you under this Agreement.

e. If our agreement with American Express is terminated, we may assign this Agreement with respect to the American Express provisions to American Express.

You may not perform dynamic currency conversion. This means that you may not list an item in one currency and then accept payment in a different currency. If you are accepting payments in more than one currency, you must separately list the price of each product or service in each currency.

By using the Services, PayPal permits you to directly accept Cards. With regard to your Card acceptance, you agree to the following:

a. Where you accept Cards on your website, you will display each Card’s logo with equal size and prominence, and you shall not display a preference for, nor discriminate against, one Card over another, including your refund policies for purchases. You will disclose your refund policy at the time of purchase and in compliance with applicable law.

b. You agree to comply with the logo usage standards located at: /business/resources/logos-and-banners.

c. You authorize PayPal to provide information regarding your business and individual Card transactions to third-parties for the purpose of facilitating the acceptance and settlement of your Card transactions and in connection with items, including chargebacks, refunds, disputes, adjustments, and other inquiries.

You acknowledge that PayPal routes and processes transactions, as appropriate, through the Products via the relevant Card Company network(s) as remote (card not present) payments. If you accept a Card that is physically presented to you at the point of sale you acknowledge that the scope of your protection from chargebacks will be limited to the protection that is available for remote payments.

a. If you use Advanced Credit and Debit Card Payments, PayPal Payments Advanced, PayPal Payments Pro, or Website Payments Pro you must use Express Checkout in the following manner:

i. You must include an Express Checkout button either: (1) before you request the shipping/billing address and other financial information from your customers or (2) on the same page that you collect such information if you only use one page for your checkout process.

ii. You must provide your customers with the option of not storing their personal information, including their email address, shipping/billing address, and financial information.

iii. You must offer PayPal as a payment option together with the other payment options you offer. The PayPal acceptance mark must be displayed with equal prominence to the logos for your other payment options. You shall not discriminate against PayPal, nor discourage its use, as a payment option over any other payment option offered by you.

b. If you use Advanced Credit and Debit Card Payments, you must offer PayPal Credit as a payment option, when it is available in Canada, on your hosted checkout page as automatically enabled by PayPal. Any offers associated with PayPal Credit that you present outside of the hosted checkout page must be displayed in the manner prescribed and instructed by PayPal and approved by PayPal prior to posting.

a. General. Subject to the terms set forth in this Agreement, PayPal’s Fraud Protection services may be made available to Merchants who use Advanced Credit and Debit Card Payments and PayPal Payments Pro as a fraudulent transaction management tool to help you screen potentially fraudulent transactions based on the settings you may adopt. In the case of PayPal Payments Pro, alternative Fraud Protection services may be made available instead of, or in addition to, the Fraud Protection services described in this Agreement. PayPal will notify Merchant in the event the Fraud Protection services are made available to Merchant.

The Fraud Protection services may help Merchant screen potentially fraudulent transactions based on the setting the Merchant selects to adopt. For example, with the Fraud Protection services, you may set filter rules, i.e., to instruct PayPal which transactions PayPal will decline on your behalf based on abstract criteria.

PayPal may provide suggestions or recommendations regarding which filters and settings to use that may be appropriate for your business. These suggestions may take into account your profile and past transaction history.

If you are provided access to the Fraud Protection services, then it is your responsibility to set the filter rules. Please note: If you set these filter rules too restrictively, you might lose sales volume. We advise you to monitor your filter rules and settings on an ongoing basis. If you use PayPal Payments Advanced or PayPal Payments Pro, you may have the option to use the Fraud Protection services. If you use the Fraud Protection services, you are responsible for setting preferences for the Fraud Protection services. It is your responsibility to determine which transactions the Fraud Protection services will accept or reject based on the authentication information provided by PayPal.

You acknowledge and agree that you have all rights and authorities to share personal data with PayPal.

b. No Warranty; Limitation of Liability. We do not represent or warrant that the Fraud Protection services are error-free or that they will identify all potentially fraudulent transaction activity. PayPal shall not be liable for your losses (such as loss of profits) or damages. The sections of the PayPal User Agreement on “Indemnification and Limitation of Liability” and “Disclaimer of Warranty and Release” apply to your use of the Fraud Protection services.

c. Data Protection. Merchant may only use the Fraud Protection services, including any Data provided by you or to you, for the purpose of managing its fraudulent transaction risk and for no other purpose. You acknowledge that the Fraud Protection services do not provide credit reports, and you will not use, or let any other person use, the Fraud Protection services for the determination of eligibility for personal, family or household credit, loan, employment, or other purpose. You may not share use of the Fraud Protection services with any other person, nor may you disclose to any person the categories provided in the Fraud Protection services or the results generated from your use of the Fraud Protection services.

d. Terms Supplemental. These terms supplement the PayPal User Agreement that governs your use of PayPal’s services in general. PayPal reserves the right to suspend, change or cancel PayPal’s Fraud Protection services at any time as it may determine in its sole discretion. PayPal reserves the right to add additional terms and conditions for continued use of the Fraud Protection services.

a. General. To be eligible for Chargeback Protection Services, you must have a PayPal business account in good standing, you must be approved by PayPal for such Chargeback Protection Services, and you must:

i. successfully integrate PayPal’s Advanced Credit and Debit Card Payments;

ii. successfully integrate the Risk Data Acquisition Service; and

iii. provide additional data as required by PayPal.

PayPal reserves the right to change integration requirements upon notice.

Your application for Chargeback Protection Services will be assessed by PayPal, and we may accept or reject applications at our sole discretion. You are not permitted to enable Chargeback Protection Services or Fraud Protection or Fraud Protection Advanced at the same time. Upon enrolling in Chargeback Protection Services, your use and access to Fraud Protection or Fraud Protection Advanced will be terminated. PayPal reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel or suspend your use of Chargeback Protection Services for any reason it deems appropriate at any time upon reasonable notice to you or immediately if reasonable notice is impracticable in order to maintain the security of PayPal’s systems and/or your account is no longer in good standing.

If you are approved and enroll in Chargeback Protection Services, we will waive our right to recover the amount of any unauthorized chargeback and item not received chargeback losses made on “Eligible Transactions” (as defined below) pursuant to the PayPal User Agreement (see the ‘Refunds Reversals and Chargebacks’ section), and we will not charge a chargeback fee pursuant to the PayPal User Agreement. This means, in the event of an Eligible Chargeback, you will keep the transaction amount, and you will not pay any chargeback fee for such transaction. However, you must respond to our requests for documentation and other information within the required timeframe when you enroll in Chargeback Protection Services, as described below (“Chargeback Protection Services Options” and “Establishing proof of delivery or proof of shipment”).

b. Eligible Chargebacks. Chargeback Protection Services only apply to chargeback claims involving: (i) transactions not authorized by the cardholder, as determined by PayPal; and (ii) transactions where the item was not received (“Item Not Received”) by the buyer (collectively “Eligible Chargebacks”).

c. Eligible Transactions. Chargeback Protection Services only apply to Eligible Chargebacks on card transactions processed by PayPal that meet the criteria set forth below (“Eligible Transactions”):

i. Card transactions processed via the Advanced Credit and Debit Card Payments checkout integration; and

ii. Card transactions for goods and services that are not (1) excluded under the terms of the PayPal User Agreement, including but not limited to the Acceptable Use Policy, or (2) “Ineligible Transactions” (as defined below).

d. Ineligible Transactions. Chargeback Protection Services do not apply to chargebacks involving transactions where the item received by the buyer is not what they ordered (“Significantly Not as Described”).

Chargeback Protection Services also do not apply to items or transactions that are ineligible for PayPal’s Seller Protection program (“Ineligible Transactions”). The list of the ineligible items or transactions for PayPal’s Seller Protection program are adopted and incorporated by reference, and can be found here.

e. Establishing proof of delivery or proof of shipment. You are required to provide proof of shipment or proof of delivery for physical goods or services for Eligible Chargebacks in order to retain the transaction amount and avoid paying any chargeback fee for such transaction. Proof of delivery or proof of shipment shall be provided to PayPal within two days of receipt of the chargeback claim (or such time period as otherwise specified by PayPal).

The proof of delivery and proof of shipment requirements of PayPal’s Seller Protection program apply to the Chargeback Protection Services and are adopted and incorporated by reference. The proof of delivery and proof of shipment requirements can be found here.

f. Chargeback Protection Services Fees. The fees for the Chargeback Protection Services can be found here.

g. Chargeback Recovery by PayPal. If you have provided us with incorrect information (for example, with respect to your business type) during the application process for Chargeback Protection Services or during sign up for a PayPal account, we are entitled to recover all our chargeback losses from you (including for past transactions prior to us discovering that the information provided was incorrect). We are also entitled to recover all our chargeback losses from you if you violate the PayPal User Agreement (for example, if you engage in a Restricted Activity), the Acceptable Use Policy or this Agreement.

If you use PayPal Payments Advanced, PayPal Payments Pro, VT (as a standalone Service), or Advanced Credit and Debit Card Payments, you may be able to enroll in our Account Updater Service.

a. Description. Subject to the terms of this Section, PayPal may make the Account Updater Service available to you, for which PayPal will send the applicable Card Data of eligible Canadian-issued Cards to one or more third party sources (including, but not limited to, the Card Companies), and use information available to PayPal, to check and update the applicable Card Data. Following these checks, the applicable updated Card Data relating to Merchant’s customers, if any, is processed and stored by PayPal at Merchant’s direction and on the Merchant’s behalf for (i) recurring transactions using Recurring Billing or Recurring Payments or (ii) other eligible transactions using the Products. If the Account Updater Service is made available to Merchants, PayPal will either provide Merchants with email notification that the Account Updater Service has been activated on such Merchants’ account(s) or allow Merchants to enable the Account Updater Service on their account(s) through their PayPal account settings. Merchants may elect to discontinue use of the Account Updater Service at any time by providing written notice to PayPal of such election or by such other means as may be determined by PayPal regarding the requirements for such Merchants to discontinue use of the Account Updater Service.

b. Permitted Use. Merchant acknowledges and agrees that the Account Updater Service is provided solely for the purpose of updating applicable Card Data to enable Merchant’s acceptance of transactions using the applicable Products. Merchant shall not use the Account Updater Service for any other purpose, including, without limitation, the use of any portion of the Account Updater Service data in connection with the development of any other service or product.

c. Merchant Obligations. Merchant shall fully comply with applicable law and the Card Company Rules in connection with its use of the Account Updater Service. Further, Merchant shall provide its customers, whose Card(s) is/are eligible for the Account Updater Service, with all disclosures required under applicable law to enable Merchant to use the Account Updater Service to update the customer’s Card(s). The foregoing shall include, but shall not be limited to, incorporating promptly into Merchant’s standard terms and conditions, privacy policy, and/or other customer facing documentation, any language required by applicable law or the Card Company Rules. Merchant shall also provide adequate disclosures to make clear to customers that if they do not want their applicable Card Data updated, they may request Merchant to remove their Card that is being stored by PayPal and/or terminate their recurring transaction agreement with Merchant.

d. Confidentiality. Merchant agrees that it shall keep all information and Card Data provided through the Account Updater Service, if any, strictly confidential. Merchant may not disclose any such information or Card Data to any third party and may not use such information or Card Data for any purpose other than as may be expressly permitted.

e. Indemnification. Merchant shall indemnify PayPal against any loss arising as a result of a breach by Merchant of its obligations under this Section for use of the Account Updater Service.

f. Accuracy of Information. Merchant acknowledges that the Account Updater Service may only be accurate to the extent a card issuing bank and a customer participate, and that many card issuing banks and customers may not participate. Merchant acknowledges and agrees that the Account Updater Service may rely upon information, Card Data, and services provided to PayPal by third parties.

g. Cessation and Availability of Account Updater Service. PayPal may immediately cease offering or providing the Account Updater Service to Merchants at any time upon email notice to Merchants. PayPal does not ensure that the Account Updater Service will be available for all Card Data.

If you are using the Recurring Billing, Recurring Payments, or the vaulting functionality (including the Vaulting Tool or available third-party vaulting functionality), you agree that it is your responsibility to comply with Card Company Rules and applicable law, including but not limited to obtaining your customer’s consent to store their Card on file for future or recurring transactions and making available a mechanism for your customer to delete their Card on file.

You acknowledge and agree that third-party vaulting functionality is provided and updated solely by the third-party vault provider.

If, in our sole discretion, we believe there may be a high level of risk associated with you, your PayPal account, your business model, or your transactions we may take certain actions in connection with your Account and/or your use of the Services.

If PayPal places a Reserve on funds in your PayPal account, they will be shown as “pending” in your PayPal Balance. If your PayPal account is subject to a Reserve, PayPal will provide you with notice specifying the terms of the reserve. The terms may require that a certain percentage of the amounts received into your PayPal account are held for a certain period of time, or that a certain amount of money is held in reserve. PayPal may change the terms of the Reserve at any time by providing you with notice of the new terms.

b. Additional Actions.

PayPal may contact your customers, on your behalf, in the event that PayPal is investigating potential fraud.

c. Information. In order to determine the risk associated with your PayPal account, PayPal may request at any time, and you agree to provide, any information about your business, operations or financial condition.
