2. Supply of Services
2.1. In consideration of the Fees and subject to the Client’s continued compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, Nuvei shall provide the Client with, and the Client accepts, the Services.
2.2. The provision of any Service and Payment Method to the Client is contingent upon the following conditions: (i) Nuvei maintains a valid contractual relationship with the respective Service Provider; (ii) the Service Provider continues to offer and support the Service or Payment Method, including to the Client; and (iii) mutual agreement between the Parties on the terms of the Service or Payment Method, as outlined in this Agreement, including the applicable Fees.
2.3. Subject to clause 14.2, Nuvei shall have the right, upon at least one (1) month’s notice (unless shorter notice is imposed by the Service Providers), to change the terms, conditions or specifications of any of the Services due to (i) the changes in the Services which are made at the Service Provider’s request; or (ii) the changes in (or in the interpretation of) the Applicable Law or Regulator guidelines which affect Nuvei’s ability to provide the Services or the Client’s ability to use or receive the Services. Changes in the Services which are made at Client’s request and the respective effect on Fees (if any) shall be addressed separately. The proposed change under this clause 2.3 shall come into effect on the date stated in Nuvei’s notice, such date to be at least one (1) month after the date of receipt of the notice unless the Client notifies Nuvei that it wishes the Agreement to end before the change takes effect.
2.4. Without derogating from any other right available to Nuvei under this Agreement, Applicable Law, Rules or otherwise, Nuvei has the right, in its sole discretion, to suspend certain or all the Services in any jurisdiction at any time and for any period of time on the basis of risk management considerations or where required in compliance with any Applicable Law or Rules. Nuvei shall use reasonable commercial efforts to provide prior written notice of such suspension to the Client.
2.5. The Client must ensure that its systems and the Transactions processed comply at all times with all technical, communications, implementation and integration requirements as provided by Nuvei from time to time. Nuvei’s ability to provide the Services depends on Client’s compliance with this clause 2.5 and the Client must not make any alterations to the Client’s systems which may affect integration with Nuvei without first consulting with Nuvei and properly testing the change.
2.6. Where a Merchant Agreement is required, the Client’s undertakings, obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement shall be expanded to include the Client’s compliance with the respective Merchant Agreement and any breach by Client of the Merchant Agreement shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement.
2.7. Certain components of the Services may be provided by or rely on third parties (including Service Providers, ISPs, banks, processing networks, money transfer systems, external data bases) and are subject to such third party’s solvency, acts or omissions, performance, availability, service levels, terms and conditions and, where applicable, the availability of processed funds held with such third parties should a third party becomes insolvent or otherwise unavailable (e.g. settlement banks), in which case there is a risk that the Client might not be able to recover some or all of its funds. Nuvei is not liable or responsible for such third parties’ acts or omissions nor to any loss suffered by Client and arising in relation to the aforementioned reliance or dependency on third parties.
2.8. Nuvei’s sole obligation in respect of the Client’s funds is to deposit the Client’s funds into client account(s) with licensed and reputable financial institutions and instruct such institutions to transfer, deploy or return the Client’s funds as required under this Agreement or under law. The aforementioned client account is a trust account that is distinguished and maintained separately from any other account in which Nuvei deposits its own money. Client’s funds in the client account will commingle with other Nuvei’s clients’ funds. While Nuvei’s systems have the ability to distinguish the funds for each client, the risks of such commingling include but are not limited to the Client’s interest in the Client’s funds not being identifiable or distinguished from other clients
2.9. Subject to Applicable Law, Nuvei’s commercial discretion and agreement with its clients, Nuvei’s Services and Platform are generally available to numerous clients in numerous geographies. It is the Client’s sole responsibility to request from Nuvei any and all specific or domestically mandated requirements for the Services and Platform provided under this Agreement (e.g. as per Applicable Law applicable to the Client’s operations or licensing). In such case the parties shall discuss in good faith the available coverage of the current Services and Platform and agree on the terms and conditions of the requested change or on the applicable statement of work for the performance of such alignments by Nuvei.
2.10. Documentation and Information
2.10.1. Provision of documentation and information. The Client shall be entitled to use the Services after and for as long as it has satisfied and continues to satisfy Nuvei’s verification, know-your-client and risk-based related requirements (“KYC Requirements”), as may apply from time to time. KYC Requirements may be updated or supplemented from time to time, and may vary between the Services.
2.10.2. Changes in Client’s circumstances. The Client shall promptly (and, where legally permissible, in advance) notify Nuvei in writing, and with any supporting evidence, of any changes to any documentation and information it has previously provided to Nuvei including with respect to its: (i) business (including goods and services, trade names, URLs, geographical targets, Payment Account details), (ii) the Client’s location (physical address) and fixed place of business through which it conducts its business as such address was disclosed to and approved by Nuvei; (iii) direct or indirect directors and shareholders; (iv) change of control (as such term is commonly used); and (v) financial standing and ability to meet its obligations set out in this Agreement. In certain cases, Nuvei may approach Client as to such changes if they come to Nuvei’s attention and the Client shall notify Nuvei accordingly. Said notice from Client shall be in writing and shall include all relevant details and updated documents and information.
Nuvei shall have the right to examine these changes and determine whether such changes affect Nuvei's decision to provide Services or the manner in which Services are provided to the Client and to notify the Client accordingly.
2.10.3. Full cooperation. The Client shall fully cooperate with Nuvei’s initial and ongoing requests for documentation and information and assist Nuvei in satisfying the KYC Requirements.
2.10.4. Essentiality of cooperation. The Client’s meeting of the KYC Requirements is essential to Nuvei’s ability to provide Services and understands that Client’s failure to comply with them in a timely manner entitles Nuvei to suspend the Client’s access to some or all of the Services with immediate effect. Nuvei may withhold the funds until such time as all the KYC Requirements have been met, and Nuvei shall have no liability for any termination, suspension or withholding carried out as a result of this provision.

The Client shall remain at all times fully and solely responsible for all taxes, fees and other costs incidental to and arising from any sale of goods or services by the Client.

3.6. Subject to clause 14.2, Nuvei shall have the right, upon at least one (1) month’s written notice, to change the Fees or add new charges or fees.

8.6. Authorization. Unless otherwise notified, all Transactions must be electronically authorized through the Platform (i.e., the Client’s floor limit is zero).

The Client shall not submit any Transaction where the Client knows or ought to know that the Transaction or the subject content, goods or services are: (i) fraudulent, not authorized by the Payment Method holder or in breach of the Rules; (ii) illegal under Applicable Law governing the Client, the End User or the Client’s goods or services; (iii) immoral; or (iv) which, at the Card Scheme’s sole discretion, could damage the goodwill of the Card Scheme or reflect negatively on the Card Scheme brands.

The Client further acknowledges that certain Rules mandate that deviation from the respective guidelines will mandate a refund of the full amounts paid.
8.15. Charges to End Users. The Client must not directly or indirectly require any End User to pay a surcharge (for this purpose: a surcharge is any fee charged in connection with a Transaction that is not charged if another Payment Method is used) or any part of any Client fee paid to Acquirer or any contemporaneous finance charge in connection with a Transaction, unless applicable laws expressly require that client be permitted to impose a surcharge. The Client may provide a discount to its End Users for cash payments. Any surcharge amount, if allowed, must be included in the transaction amount and not collected separately. The Client must clearly communicate surcharge amount to End User and End User must agree to the surcharge amount before the client initiates the Transaction. The Client is permitted to charge a fee (such as a bona fide commission, postage, expedited service or convenience fees, and the like) if the fee is imposed on all like Transactions regardless of the form of payment used, or as the respective Card Scheme or APMP expressly permitted in writing.
8.16. Without prejudice to the Client’s other obligations in this Agreement, the Client agrees not to use the Platform and not to do any of the following with respect to any Transaction: (1) obtain multiple Authorizations for amounts less than the total sale amount; (2) obtain Authorization for purposes of setting aside End User’s credit line for use in future sales; (3) require or indicate that it requires a minimum or maximum Transaction amount to accept a Card; (4) process Transactions relating to goods and services which are not under the Client’s trade names or do not fall within the Client’s ordinary course of business as identified by the Client to Nuvei and specifically approved by Nuvei in writing; (5) sales by third parties; (6) goods or services for which the Client has received or expects to receive payment in any other form; (7) Transactions which relate to the matters prohibited or restricted as per Nuvei’s then current list of prohibited and restricted transactions, business types, products and services as set forth in Schedule 4; (8) split a Transaction into two or more Transactions; and/or (9) accept any Transaction using any Card issued in Nuvei’s or Client’s name, or related to a bank account of a partner or a director or an officer of Nuvei and/or Client, or of the spouse or any member of the immediate family or household of any such person.
8.17. Upon request, the Client shall provide Nuvei with proof that each Transaction presented was processed as per the Rules and these guidelines, was based on a legal transaction with the End User that was permitted under this Agreement and in an amount that corresponds to the presented transaction.
8.18. Should the Client breach the guidelines set forth in this Agreement in relation to Transactions Nuvei shall be entitled, in addition to any other available remedy, to reject and not process any affected Transactions; suspend the Client’s access to the Services; and/or immediately terminate the Agreement.

Client may be required to provide samples of such usages.

If the Force Majeure Event in question continues for a continuous period in excess of three (3) months the Parties shall enter into bona fide discussions with a view to alleviating its effects or to agreeing upon such alternative arrangements as may be fair and reasonable. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Force Majeure Event will not alleviate any of the Parties from their payment obligations towards one another, in case of termination of the Agreement.
14.5.

14.6. Unless specifically indicated otherwise, this Agreement may only be varied in writing subject to signature by all the Parties.
14.7.

2.2 In certain pre-identified scenarios (e.g. with specific APMPs or Acquirers) some of activities described in this Schedule will be provided by the specific Acquirer or APM (e.g. aggregation of funds or settlement to the Client) and in such cases Nuvei’s rights and remedies herein shall apply accordingly and Nuvei may instruct such third parties to perform the activities described herein (e.g. settle, hold Reserve, withhold or deduct etc. Rules may include other/additional provisions.
3. Reserve
3.1 Nuvei shall maintain a non-interest bearing security reserve to guarantee payment by the Client of Deductions or any other actual or potential debt or liability (the “Reserve” or sometimes referred to as a ‘holdback’). Nuvei will fund the Reserve, replenish and maintain it at the designated level by deducting the required amounts from the Remittances and/or other funds due to the Client and if such Deductions are not possible require that the Client makes a payment to Nuvei for the amounts required to replenish the Reserve within two (2) days of Nuvei’s request and by such means as Nuvei may specify. When the Client is required to make a payment under this paragraph, the Client hereby waives any right of setoff it may have or to which it may be entitled under this Agreement from time to time. The Client not meeting these provisions may, inter alia, force Nuvei to suspend or terminate the Services.
3.2 Unless otherwise advised by Nuvei in the STC, the amount of the Reserve shall be ten percent (10%) of the total value of all approved and settled Transactions within a specific calendar month and the Reserve for each calendar month will be held and maintained for a minimum of six (6) months from the end of such calendar month, on a rolling basis. If after the six (6) month period there is still a risk of more Deductions or any other actual or potential debt or liability, then Nuvei will have the right to withhold such amount until such risk is eliminated. Upon expiry of this six (6) month period (or longer, as the case may be), any balance remaining as the Reserve for the relevant calendar month will be remitted to the Client. Nuvei will inform the Client of any charges debited to the Reserve during this period.
3.3 Nuvei may change the Client’s Reserve and/or the manner in which it is calculated upon notice to the Client depending on the Client’s Deductions, Refund Ratios, Fraud Ratios, Chargeback Ratios, and other risk considerations.

Nuvei may also instruct the respective Service Provider to withhold or deduct such amounts from the Client balances held with it and settle those amounts to Nuvei. The Client acknowledges that the Service Providers shall have the right to withhold settlement of any funds due to Nuvei or the Client in the event of breach of this Agreement and/or the Rules by the Client. The Client not meeting these provisions may, inter alia, force Nuvei to suspend or terminate the Services.
4.2 The Client agrees that not applying a Deduction or set-off for any period of time does not constitute a waiver of Nuvei’s right to apply such Deduction or set-off retroactively or for that period of time including but not limited where such retroactive or retrospective Deductions are applied by the respective Payment Methods or third-party processors.
4.3 THE CLIENT EXPRESSLY AGREES TO ANY DEDUCTION, CHARGE OR DEBIT MADE BY NUVEI TO THE CLIENT’S BALANCE OR RESERVE THAT ARE MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS AGREEMENT.
5. Payment of Remittances
5.1 Remittances shall be remitted to the Client in accordance with the provisions of this clause and the STC. Remittance is always subject to the availability of funds with the respective third parties (including the Service Providers, ISPs, banks, processing networks, money transfer systems, external data bases) and the receipt by the party remitting of the respective funds from the respective Payment Method provider (Service Provider or otherwise).
5.2 Intentionally omitted.
5.3 Remittance intervals may be changed or Remittance may be withheld or delayed upon notice and at Nuvei’s discretion depending on the Client’s level of Deductions (e.g. refund ratios, Fraud Ratios or Chargeback Ratios), any other actual or potential debt or liability and other risk considerations until such matters are resolved to Nuvei’s reasonable satisfaction. Remittance may also be withheld or delayed where Nuvei has financial crime or other risk concerns, the Client is in breach of the Agreement, when the amount due is higher than the aggregate of the amounts held in the Client’s Reserve and settlement account or in the event the Client is part of or the Client is entered into any of the Card Schemes’ Chargeback, fraud or audit programs (e.g. MasterCard’s Global Merchant Audit Program or Visa’s respective Merchant Fraud Programs).
5.4 Remittances may be affected, postponed or delayed due to weekends, public or banking holidays in the respective jurisdictions (including Nuvei’s, the Client’s, the respective Service Provider’s, bank’s or other Service Provider’s jurisdiction), or due to any technical delays or malfunctions of the relevant systems. Nuvei shall not be liable for any loss arising in relation to such delays.
5.5 Payments will be made only if the accumulated amount payable to the Client is at least 5000 of the applicable currency units. If this minimum amount is not reached in a particular week, Nuvei will be entitled to withhold payment and carry the amount due to the Client to the next payment(s) until the minimum amount is reached.
5.6 Currency. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in the STC, Remittances will be due and payable in GBP. When processing is in other currencies, the respective banks’, Service Providers’ and Nuvei's prevailing conversion rates and fees will apply to each movement.
5.7 Wiring and transfer charges in connection with any payment will be borne by the Client and deducted from such payment.
5.8 The amounts remitted to the Client shall constitute the full, final, and complete payment and consideration due to the Client.
5.9 The Client acknowledges, understands and accepts that (i) the Authorization of a Transaction only indicates that a Payment Method is not restricted, declared invalid and within limits at the time of Authorization; (ii) the Authorization is not a promise to pay, guarantee of acceptance, payment by the End User or protection against a Chargeback or Refund, and that (iii) an Authorization shall not relieve the Client of its contractual and legal obligations or otherwise validate a fraudulent or disputed Transaction whether or not the Client knew or should have known of the Transaction being so.
5.10 The Client further acknowledges, understands and accepts that no acquisition of any Transaction shall be final so long as the Transaction is subject to refunds, Chargeback, investigation of fraud or repayment, that Nuvei may evoke prior provisional settlements and that all settlements, remittance and credits by Nuvei are provisional and made conditionally and subject at all times to Rules, permissible Deductions or any other right to set off regardless of time of Deduction (for example purposes: if a Deduction is due after the remittance has been made).
6. Payouts.
Nuvei may enable the processing of payouts, VISA Direct or OCT - Original Credit Transactions (for VISA), PT - Payment Transactions (for MasterCard) or as otherwise titled or any similar launch by the respective Card Scheme or Payment Method (jointly: “Payout” or at times “OCT”). Nuvei may suspend or terminate this service at its sole discretion. The processing of Payouts is subject to the Rules, Applicable Law, permitted jurisdictions and Nuvei’s guidelines as provided from time to time, including the following:
• Payouts are made from the available amounts due to the Client as Remittance as per the provisions of this Agreement and may be subject (individually and in the aggregate) to periodic, percentage and amount limitations.
• Payouts are not a credit or a Refund against a previous Transaction.
• Payouts are non-reversible, by submitting a Payout to Nuvei the Client irrevocably authorizes the transfer of the said amount.
• The Client shall only initiate Payouts to End Users which are registered with the Client and which have undergone and passed the Client’s strict ‘know your customer’ due diligence as mandated by Applicable Law.
• The Client must get the End User’s explicit consent to Payout and to the specific Payment Method.
• Payout shall be considered a Transaction and additional fees and charges may apply as per the provisions of the Agreement, including the provisions of clause 5 of the Agreement.
7. Payment Facilitator (where applicable)
In certain pre-defined instances Nuvei may act as a payment facilitator or equivalent (as may be defined by the specific Card Scheme; Card Schemes may title it differently), in which case specific provisions may apply to the Client (sometimes defined as a ‘Sponsored Merchant’ or a ‘Sub merchant’ in payment facilitator structure) as per the requirements of the specific Acquirer.
8. Remittance by/via a Third Party. Nuvei may at any time and without notice use third parties for the purpose of payment of Remittances and any other Services and shall notify the Client of the identity of such third parties from time to time. All payments to the Client’s account by third parties shall be deemed as payment by Nuvei. Notwithstanding, where Remittances are made directly by such third parties such transfer of funds shall be subject to the third party’s practices and the third party may deduct a wire fee for each Remittance in accordance with its terms. Nuvei shall not have any liability to the Client with respect to such payments by the third party.
