In addition to the fees described in this Merchant Application and Agreement, you must pay us all Card Organization Charges. "Card Organization Charges" means all fees, charges, liabilities, or obligations that a Card Organization imposes on us (1) in connection with your acceptance of its payment types, (2) in connection with the transactions processed under your MID, (3) as a result of your acts or omissions, or (4) as a result of the acts or omissions of others that act on your behalf or that provide services to you.

A Surcharge is an additional fee that you add to relevant transactions as permitted by the Card Organization Rules and applicable laws (together, Applicable Laws). By choosing to assess a Surcharge and participate in this "Merchant Surcharge Program" (MSP), you agree that you are solely responsible for: (1) complying with all Applicable Laws and the Your Payments Acceptance Guide (which is contained in your Program Guide); (2) properly and clearly disclosing the existence and amount of any Surcharge to Cardholders in accordance with Applicable Laws; and (3) ensuring any Surcharge you add to a transaction does not exceed the limit provided in the Card Organization Rules. MSP is provided to you only by Processor and not by Bank.

(5) you will be responsible to refund Cardholders any Surcharge you assess in the amount billed on such transaction; (6) you will not assess a Surcharge for card not present transactions on cardholders whose billing ZIP code corresponds to states or US territories where Surcharging is prohibited by Applicable Law (including but not limited to, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Puerto Rico), you will be responsible to pay us the Discount Fee for such transactions, and you will comply with Applicable Laws any time you apply the MSP; and (7) we may change or cancel this Merchant Surcharge Program upon notice to you. We disclaim all warranties regarding the MSP; it is provided to you on an "as-is, with all faults" basis. Your use of the MSP does not: (1) guarantee compliance with any laws, Card Organization Rules, or applicable standards (including the PCI DSS), (b) affect your obligation to comply with laws, Card Organization Rules, and applicable standards (including the PCI DSS), or (3) guarantee protection against a Data Incident.
