The full extent of this Agreement shall be in effect unless or until either party terminates this Agreement by duly notifying the other party of such decision, in accordance with the Terms of Use.

1. PayCo offers two options for Merchant Accounts: the Merchant Gateway and the Simplified Merchant.

   1. The Merchant Gateway provides a complete setup that allows the Merchant to start accepting payments. It includes Callback Pages and requires two HTML pages, namely The Shopping Cart and The Process Page.

   2. The Simplified Merchant carries the same Merchant settings with the Merchant Gateway, excluding the Callback Pages. It is a widget placed on a website allowing for payments to be made.

2. Merchants acknowledge that the receipt of payment into the Merchant Account is not equivalent to the receipt of cleared funds. Merchants shall be liable to PayCo for the full amount of the payment and any deducted fees in the event that the payment is later reversed (referred to as the "reversal amount").

3. In case of payment reversal, PayCo will debit the Merchant Account with the reversal amount and the appropriate third party chargeback fee. If PayCo is unable to fully recover the reversal amount and any chargeback fee from the Merchant Account, Merchants shall be required to repay the reversal amount and/or any negative balance in the Merchant Account by replenishing the Merchant Account with sufficient funds. Failure of Merchants to repay the reversal amount and/or any negative balance is a breach of this Agreement. PayCo reserves the right to remind Merchants of the repayments he/she must settle. Nevertheless, it is already understood that the repayment of the reversal amount and/or any negative balance is due immediately. PayCo may seek debt collection measures such as, but not limited to, pursuing the claim in court.

   2. If a Transaction is deemed suspicious, unauthorised, or fraudulent in nature, especially in relation to money laundering, terrorism financing, or other illegal financial activities;

   3. If the Merchants are believed to be unable to provide Merchant Products/Services to the Customers due to an occurrence that PayCo deems will result into such; or

   4. If the level of chargeback fees or number of non-delivery claims on the Merchant Products/Services is considered by PayCo, at its sole discretion, as unreasonable.

2. If PayCo decides to include the establishment of a Reserve along with the Security, PayCo may set a limit to the sum that can be withdrawn by Merchants from the Merchant Account. Alternatively, PayCo may choose, at its sole discretion, for the Security to be a bank guarantee. In this case, Merchants must obtain a bank guarantee in favor of PayCo by a bank and in a form preferable to PayCo. In addition, the amount shall be determined by PayCo.
