If you choose to activate Interchange Plus Plus pricing, then the following terms will apply to you:

1. Interchange Pass-through Costs. Interchange Pass-through Costs will be passed through to you in addition to all current fees as set forth on the Fees page which correspond to Interchange Plus Plus or IC++ pricing (collectively “Interchange Plus Plus” or “IC++”). Fees for card processing and third-party digital wallets will be charged monthly, all other applicable fees will continue to be charged per transaction.
2. Gross Settlement. We will invoice you on the 7th of each calendar month (or a date otherwise notified by PayPal) (“Fee Invoice”) for all fees, charges, or other amounts accrued in connection with your use of PayPal’s card processing services. (“Gross Settlement”).
3. 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 pursuant to this provision, it will be completed at an exchange rate that we set in accordance with the PayPal User Agreement and that includes our Currency Conversion spread; or, if required by law or regulation, set at the relevant government reference rate(s).
4. Debit Authorization. You authorize PayPal to debit your linked bank account and setoff from such bank account amounts to PayPal. 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 PayPal’s card processing services. You agree to provide PayPal with all necessary bank account information and grant PayPal permission to debit, setoff, or credit amounts due from your bank account on the 10th of the month (or a date otherwise notified by PayPal) and again on the 20th of the month (or a date otherwise notified by PayPal) if the authorization fails (“Debit Authorization”). You certify that the bank account information you provide to PayPal belongs to you.
5. Revocation of Debit Authorization. You may revoke this Debit Authorization at any time by deactivating IC++ in your PayPal account settings. However, the Debit Authorization will continue until the end of the month and PayPal will continue to debit, credit, or setoff from your account amounts due for the last month.

You understand that revocation of the Debit Authorization does not terminate, cancel, reduce, or otherwise affect the obligations you owe to PayPal, and the Debit Authorization applies only to the method of payment and does not have any bearing on amounts due to PayPal under the Agreement.

6. In the Event of Debit Failure. 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 other actions as provided herein or in the user agreement.
7. Questions. If you have any questions about the fees, charges, or amounts found in your invoices, please contact us.

1. VT Terms. If you use Virtual Terminal (“VT”) only, you agree to allow 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 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.
2. Payments Advanced and Pro Payflow Terms. If you use Payments Advanced or Payments Pro Payflow, you agree to allow PayPal to charge the credit card or bank account that you provided when you registered for these Services for fees that become due under this Agreement. If you use Payments Pro and choose to have your fees under this Agreement charged to your credit card or bank account, the terms of this Section 2.d.ii. apply.
3. Required Use of PayPal-Hosted Pages for PayPal Payments Advanced. Payments Advanced requires the exclusive use of PayPal-hosted templates on your checkout pages to process payments. If you use Payments Advanced to process payment sales or authorizations on non-PayPal hosted pages, you may be charged the higher monthly fee for using Payments Pro Payflow instead of the Payments Advanced monthly fee, but you may not receive full access to all features of Payments Pro Payflow. 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 Online Payment Services if you do not agree to this fee.

If you fail to comply with the requirement to use PayPal Checkout described in Section 1.11, 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 Online Payment Services, or may be added at any time by PayPal with thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of the fee increase. You agree to terminate your use of the Online Payment Services if you do not agree to this 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 Online Payment Services, or may be added at any time by PayPal with thirty (30) days’ prior notice of the fee increase. You agree to terminate your use of the Online Payment Services if you do not agree to this Fee.

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.

1. 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 Payments Advanced, or (b) your Service is Payments Pro Payflow and you choose to activate the “transparent redirect” feature and integrate the feature properly per PayPal’s instructions. In order to verify your PCI DSS compliance in connection with these Services, you must complete PCI DSS compliance certification pursuant to the requirements that we notify to you via email.

If you are accessing the Online Payment Services 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.

2. 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.
3. Card Data Usage. 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.

4. 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/or 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.
5. 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).

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.
3. By accepting this Agreement, you agree to receive commercial marketing communications from American Express. You may opt out by contacting PayPal at (888) 221-1161.

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

1. 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.

1. 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 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 Payments Pro, alternative Fraud Protection services may be made available instead of, or in addition to, the Fraud Protection services described in this Agreement.

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 Payments Advanced or Payments Pro Payflow, you may have the option to use our Fraud Protection services. If you use our Fraud Protection services, you are responsible for setting preferences for the PayPal 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.

2. 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.
3. 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 Consumer Reports under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and you will not use it, or let any other person use it, for the determination of eligibility for personal, family or household credit, loan, employment, or other purpose that would make the results from Fraud Protection be deemed Consumer Reports under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 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 Fraud Protection services.
4. 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.
5. Payment. If you have successfully enabled Fraud Protection Advanced, PayPal will invoice you on a monthly basis for all fees in connection with Fraud Protection Advanced (“FPA Invoice”).

PayPal may allow you to choose the currency in which the FPA Invoice will be billed (“Fee Invoice Currency”). If you have accepted transactions in currencies other than the FPA Invoice Currency, then PayPal will convert those currencies into the FPA Currency at the time of Fee Invoice generation. PayPal may allow you to pay the FPA Invoice in the denominated currency of the linked bank account you nominate for debiting amounts owed to PayPal (“Linked Bank Account Currency”). If the FPA Invoice Currency is different to the Linked Bank Account Currency, PayPal will convert the amount of the FPA Invoice into the Linked Bank Account Currency at the time of debiting. If PayPal converts currency under this clause, it will be completed at an exchange rate that we set and 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, set at the relevant government reference rate(s).

You authorize PayPal to debit your linked bank account and setoff from such bank accounts amounts to PayPal subject to this Agreement. 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 Fraud Protection Advanced. You agree to provide PayPal with all necessary bank account information and grant PayPal permission to debit, setoff, or credit amounts due from your bank account on a date notified by PayPal or if this payment fails on a further date(s) as notified by PayPal. You certify that the bank account information you provide to PayPal belongs to you.

1. 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:
   1. successfully integrate PayPal’s Advanced Credit and Debit Card Payments;
   2. successfully integrate the Risk Data Acquisition Service; and
   3. 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”).

Chargeback Protection Services are provided with two options – “Effortless Chargeback Protection” and “Chargeback Protection” (both as defined below).

2. Chargeback Protection Services Options. Chargeback Protection Services are available as two different options:
   1. “Effortless Chargeback Protection”: for chargebacks involving transactions not authorized by the cardholder, as determined by PayPal, you are not required to provide proof of shipment or proof of delivery for physical goods or services in order to retain the transaction amount and avoid paying any chargeback fee for such transaction. However, if the chargeback involves transactions where the item was not received by the buyer, you are required to provide proof of shipment or proof of delivery for physical goods or services 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).
   2. “Chargeback Protection”: 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).

3. 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”).

4. 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”):

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

   2. 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).

5. 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.

6. Establishing proof of delivery or proof of shipment. 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.
7. Chargeback Protection Services Fees. The fees for the Chargeback Protection Services will vary depending on the Chargeback Protection Services option you select.

You may change your selected Chargeback Protection Services option at any time from the product page here. The change will take effect immediately but will only apply to Eligible Chargebacks received for transactions that occur on or after the date you change the Chargeback Protection Services option. For the purpose of illustration:

For example, if you change your selection from the “Effortless Chargeback Protection” option to the “Chargeback Protection” option on September 1, but an unauthorized chargeback or Item Not Received chargeback is filed in relation to a transaction that occurred on August 1, you must still pay the higher “Effortless Chargeback Protection” fee on such transaction, but you will not be required to provide proof of shipment or proof of delivery for unauthorized chargeback only transaction. For any unauthorized chargebacks or item not received chargebacks filed on transactions that occur or after September 1, you will pay the lower “Chargeback Protection” fee, but you will be required to provide proof of shipment or proof of delivery in accordance with the “Chargeback Protection” requirements.

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

1. Description. Subject to the terms of this section, the Account Updater Service allows PayPal to send the applicable Card Data of eligible 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 the Recurring Billing or Recurring Payments or (ii) other eligible transactions using the Services. 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.
2. 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 Services. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.

PayPal offers services that allow merchants to originate Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) credit and debit entries to a bank account (the “ACH Services”) and Merchant desires to use such services. Such entries are sent by PayPal, acting as a Third-Party Sender, to the Originating Depository Financial Institution (the "ODFI"), which it forwards through the ACH system to the Receiving Depository Financial Institution (the "RDFI"), who debits or credits the bank account of Merchant’s customer (the "Receiver"). Merchant agrees that its use of the ACH Services is subject to the terms herein and the applicable provisions of the Agreement. Merchant accepts and agrees to comply with all such terms. Capitalized words and phrases used and not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the same meaning as given to them in the operating rules and guidelines of the National Automated Clearing House Association (administrator of the ACH network - “Nacha”), as amended from time to time (the "Nacha Rules", is available on Nacha’s web site). Merchant shall not originate entries on behalf of any third-party. In case Merchant intends to act as a Nested Third-Party Sender, it must enter into a separate agreement with PayPal before it originates any entries.

Merchant will pay PayPal the fees and charges as agreed in writing, as well as other amounts owed, pursuant to this Agreement. Such other amounts shall include, without limitation, any amounts charged to PayPal and/or Merchant by Nacha in connection with Merchant’s use of the ACH Services. Any amounts owed to PayPal under these terms may be deducted from any payout to Merchant or debited from Merchant’s bank account.

Merchant agrees to (i) undertake the responsibilities of an Originator under the Nacha Rules and to comply with and be bound by such rules and other applicable laws and regulations related to use of the ACH network (as may be amended); and (iii) not originate entries that violate these ACH Service Terms, laws of the United States and/or the Nacha Rules.

Merchant authorizes PayPal and the ODFI to originate entries on Merchant’s behalf to Receivers’ accounts in accordance with the Nacha Rules.

Merchant shall operate and use the ACH Services in accordance with the transaction limits set by PayPal and/or the ODFI in accordance with the Nacha Rules. PayPal can modify the applicable transaction limits upon reasonable notice.

Merchant is solely responsible for obtaining any authorization required by the Nacha Rules, including authorization from each person shown as the Receiver on an entry for the crediting or debiting of the Receiver’s account (e.g. to debit its customers’ bank accounts for ACH payments), and agrees that it shall obtain such authorization in each instance (“ACH Authorization”). PayPal shall not be liable for any debit or other failure (or any related costs) arising from Merchant’s acts and omissions for failure to obtain any ACH Authorization. Merchant shall maintain data sufficient to reconstruct the transaction authorization and maintain such authorization in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations. Merchant agrees PayPal is permitted to document and store ACH Authorization, including timestamp, Merchant logo and applicable ACH credentials. Merchant shall provide PayPal with evidence of ACH Authorization upon request.

For debit Web Entries, Merchant must:

1. establish and implement a commercially reasonable (i) fraudulent transaction detection system to screen entries (which must, at a minimum, validate the account to be debited for the first use of such account number, and for any subsequent changes to the account number), and (ii) method of authentication to verify the identity of the Receiver of a debit entry and that the routing number is valid; and
2. conduct, or have conducted on its behalf, annual audits to ensure that the Data it obtains from Receivers is protected by security practices and procedures that include, at a minimum, adequate levels of: (i) physical security to protect against theft, tampering, or damage; (ii) personnel and access controls to protect against unauthorized access and use; and (iii) network security to ensure secure capture, storage, and distribution (“Merchant’s Annual Audit”).
   

PayPal may offer you the ability to validate your customers’ bank account information (including account number, routing number, and/or account holder name) in connection with the ACH Services (“PayPal’s Validation”). In that case, PayPal may share certain data from your customers with its third-party service providers (“Data Sources”) and such Data Sources may collect certain Data related to your customers from third-party information sources where such customers hold accounts and share it with PayPal.

2.8.1. To the extent that Merchant obtains access to Data in connection with PayPal’s Validation, Merchant shall comply with the obligations set forth in the ACH Services Addendum (in addition to the ones in Section 3.4 of this Agreement).

1. UCC 4A Notice. In relation to credit entries subject to Article 4A of the Uniform Commercial Code, Merchant acknowledges that: (i) the entry may be transmitted through the ACH; (ii) the rights and obligations of the Merchant concerning the entry are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California; (iii) any credit given by the RDFI to the Receiver for the entry is provisional until the RDFI has received final settlement (through a Federal Reserve Bank or otherwise has received payment as provided for in Section 4A-403(a) of Article 4A); and (iv) if the RDFI does not receive such payment for the provisional entry, the RDFI is entitled to a refund from the Receiver in the amount of the credit to the Receiver’s account, and the Merchant (acting as Originator) will not be considered to have paid the amount of the credit entry to the Receiver. Merchant agrees that it shall be responsible for all refunds, and PayPal shall have the right to be reimbursed by Merchant for any and all such refunds or other amounts that are charged to PayPal in connection with the ACH Services. PayPal can deduct such amounts from any payout to Merchant.
2. Payment to ODFI. Merchant agrees to pay the ODFI for any ACH credit entries or returned ACH debit entries if PayPal fails to pay the ODFI for such entries.
3. Cancellation or Amendment. Merchant shall not have the right to cancel or amend an ACH transaction entry after its receipt by PayPal, except as permitted or required by the Nacha Rules.

Merchant shall indemnify, defend and hold PayPal, the ODFI, any third-party and their employees, officers, directors and agents, harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, liabilities or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs) resulting directly or indirectly from or arising out of (a) Merchant’s breach of the Nacha Rules or of these ACH Service Terms; (b) Merchant's acts and/or omissions; and (c) compliance by PayPal, the ODFI and the RDFI with any request for a cancellation, stop payment, reversal, or recall of any entry originated by Merchant.

This section applies to your use of the Fastlane service.

1. Use of Fastlane. To use the Fastlane service, you must integrate Fastlane functionality into your website, online checkout, or sales platform. Your integration must comply with all integration requirements provided by PayPal, including integrating the profile creation and guest checkout acceleration components of the Fastlane service. The Fastlane service is solely a credential management service allowing Fastlane consumer participants to save and pre-populate payment card information, contact information, shipping data, or other data they save in their Fastlane profile. Transactions using Fastlane information must be specifically authorized by Fastlane consumer participants. Fastlane is not a payment processing service. PayPal is not providing any form of payment processing services pursuant to this section.
2. Fees for Fastlane. Additional charges for Fastlane may apply for Merchants on custom rates beginning January 1, 2025.
3. Your Use of Personal Data. To the extent that you process any personal data about a Fastlane customer pursuant to this agreement, you and PayPal will each be an independent data controller (and not joint controllers), meaning we will each separately determine the purposes and means of processing such personal data. We each agree to comply with the requirements of any applicable privacy and data protection laws, including any applicable regulations, directives, codes of practice, and regulatory requirements applicable to data controllers in connection with this agreement. We each also have and will follow our own independently determined privacy statements, notices, policies, and procedures for any such personal data that we process in connection with this agreement. In complying with the applicable data protection laws, we will each:

1. Keep such personal data confidential;
2. implement and maintain all appropriate security measures in relation to the processing of such personal data;
3. maintain a record of all processing activities carried out under this agreement; and
4. not knowingly or intentionally do anything, or knowingly or intentionally permit anything to be done, which might lead to a breach by the other party of the applicable data protection laws.

Any personal data provided to you by PayPal in connection with the Fastlane service, excluding personal data collected or obtained by you directly from the customer, will be used by you only to the limited extent that is necessary and relevant to the Fastlane service and no other purpose, including marketing purposes, unless you have obtained the prior express consent of the customer. You represent, covenant, and warrant that you will provide and/or obtain necessary disclosures and consents, as applicable, in connection any personal data provided by you to PayPal. You may not disclose or distribute any customer personal data provided to you by PayPal to a third party, unless such third party is your service provider (as defined by applicable law). You may not combine personal data provided to you by PayPal with any other data. You may not use any personal data provided to you by PayPal to send, or assist in sending, unsolicited emails to third parties. You agree that you will only submit personal data to PayPal through your Fastlane integration in connection with a bona fide single customer transaction or merchant store account creation and as authorized by the customer.

For purposes of clarification, the Data Portability provision (Section 3.g) of this Agreement, in its entirety, does not apply to the Fastlane services. Data collected in connection with the Fastlane service is not portable, including when you have been given consent by your customer to store data collected in connection with the Fastlane service in your or, if applicable, your platform provider's vault.

Termination of Fastlane service. In addition to any other termination rights in this Agreement, PayPal reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate or suspend use of Fastlane at any time upon reasonable notice or immediately (a) for any breach of this section; or (b) if we determine that your use of Fastlane could expose PayPal to financial loss or legal liability.

You may terminate your use of Fastlane acceleration and profile creation functionality by disabling Fastlane in your account settings. If you no longer wish to collect additional Fastlane-required customer information, you will need to remove your Fastlane integration when you disable Fastlane.

In the event that we terminate or suspend your use of Fastlane or you disable Fastlane in your account settings, customer information stored through Fastlane will remain available for future transactions through the Services so long as you received authorization from your customer to save that customer information. You may elect to disregard Fastlane customer information, or to delete Fastlane customer information from your stored customer information.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section or the Agreement, Fastlane customer information will not be included in the Data Portability services offered under the Agreement. Fastlane customer information is not portable, including when you have been given consent by your customer to store data collected in connection with the Fastlane service.

For the sake of clarity, any termination or suspension of your use of the Fastlane services will not automatically result in a termination of the agreement or suspension of the PayPal Services. Notwithstanding any termination or suspension of the Fastlane service, your use of Fastlane customer information will remain subject to this Section.
