Merchant Account (or certain functionalities thereof such as uploading, receiving, sending
and/or withdrawing funds) at any time where it is required to do so under relevant and
applicable laws and regulations. B2BinPay will make reasonable efforts to inform the
Merchant of any such suspension unless B2BinPay is prohibited from doing so by law or
under an order from a competent court or authority.

details (“Security Features”) if Transactions are made which B2BinPay has reasonable

Products/Services shall only obligate the Merchant. B2BinPay shall not be a party to any
resulting dispute including but not limited to disputes over performance and liability issues
relating to the delivery, quality, quantity or use of the Merchant Products/Services. Without
applying the liability restrictions contained in clauses 13.1 and 13.2, the Merchant shall fully
indemnify B2BinPay against any loss or liability (including full 3 reimbursement of any legal
and professional costs) B2BinPay suffers or incurs as a result of, or in connection with, any

under applicable law.
5.8. The Merchant shall co-operate with B2BinPay to investigate any suspected illegal,
fraudulent or improper activity.
5.9. Upon commencement of the Agreement and at any time thereafter for purposes of
complying with Regulatory Requirements, the Merchant shall provide B2BinPay with such
information as B2BinPay may request, including information about the Merchant’s
business, corporate structure and constitution, shareholders, partners, members, directors,
key employees or, in the case of a trust, its beneficiaries. The Merchant shall provide, upon
request by B2BinPay, copies of financial information and other information on the business

with applicable law or any of its Regulatory Requirement, or the Merchant’s credit and/or
financial standing (“Material Change”) without undue delay prior to the change(s) coming
into effect and in any event prior to taking or making payments related to the Material
Change. Without applying the liability limits contained in clauses 13.1 13.2 and 13.3, the
Merchant shall indemnify B2BinPay against all losses arising out of the Merchant’s failure

to notify B2BinPay of any such changes that are relevant for compliance with Regulatory

anticipated claims, losses, cost, penalties and expenses.
6.2. If B2BinPay elects that the relevant Security shall include the establishment of a
Reserve, then: B2BinPay shall be entitled to prevent the Merchant from withdrawing a sum
determined by B2BinPay (in its sole discretion) from the Merchant Account. Alternatively, at

case the Merchant shall, upon request, procure a bank guarantee in favor of B2BinPay by
a bank and in a form acceptable to B2BinPay and in an amount determined by B2BinPay.
The Security shall remain in place regardless of any termination of this Agreement for as
long as there are residual or contingent liabilities of the Merchant to B2BinPay. The amount
of the Reserve (either expressed as an absolute amount or as a percentage of past
payments into the Merchant Account) shall be determined by B2BinPay from time to time in
its sole discretion. Where a Reserve has not been established at the commencement date
of this Agreement, B2BinPay shall notify the Merchant of the imposition of a Reserve, its
method of calculation, its amount as well as any increase or reduction of the Reserve
without undue delay in writing at any time during the term of this Agreement.

obligations under this Agreement.
6.4. The Merchant agrees to provide B2BinPay, upon reasonable request and at the
Merchant’s expense, with information about its financial and operational status, including
but not limited to the most recent financial statements and management accounts. The
Merchant shall also undertake, at its own expense, any further action (including executing
any necessary documents) necessary to establish such Security as is reasonably required
by B2BinPay.
6.5. B2BinPay shall have the right, at any time, without notice to offset any claims, costs,
charges, penalties and expenses from any Security, Reserve or current balance in the
Merchant Account. In addition, the Merchant shall pay such amounts as B2BinPay notifies
it into the Reserve to replenish any deducted amount. If required by B2BinPay, the
Merchant shall pay such amounts into its Merchant Account as reasonably determined by
B2BinPay to fund a Reserve or to react to any increased risk of payment reversals that are
not covered by the Merchant Account’s then current balance. - Representations and Warranties
