Agreement
*To agree to the Referral Agreement, please type your initials at the end of this document and click Continue.
1. Referrals. Referral Entity will refer prospective merchants to National Processing for possible participation in National Processing’s bankcard and ACH transaction processing program (the “Program”). Each such merchant referred to National Processing by Referral Entity will be referred to hereinafter as a “Referred Merchant.” Referral Entity may provide Referred Merchants with written materials (or online information) about National Processing or the Program which have either been provided or approved in advance by National Processing (all marketing materials developed for this program will be mutually approved by both parties). Upon National Processing’s request, Referral Entity will use its reasonable efforts to assist National Processing in making additional contact or solicitation of the Referred Merchants. At the minimum, Referral Entity will provide to National Processing the name, address, phone number and contact name of the Referred Merchant. National Processing is under no obligation to consider any Referred Merchant into the Program and any Referred Merchant is subject to National Processing’s approval or rejection as National Processing in its sole discretion deems appropriate. National Processing and approved Referred Merchants shall enter into agreements for transaction processing (each a “Merchant Agreement”).
2. Referral Fees. National Processing shall pay to Referral Entity referral fees (“Commissions”) during the term of this Agreement equal to the percentage of Net Revenue (as defined below) finally paid to and received by National Processing from Boarded Merchants (as defined below) based on the qualifying tier (silver, gold or platinum) applicable for Referral Entity. If (i) National Processing, its affiliates or one of their respective independent sales channels have an existing relationship under a valid Merchant Agreement with a Referred Merchant, or (ii) National Processing, its affiliates or one of their respective independent sales channels is then actively engaged in negotiations with a Referred Merchant, as evidenced by a proposal, merchant application, or other such formal offer(s) to do business, prior to the date such Referred Merchant is referred by Referral Entity to National Processing, then such merchant will not be considered a Boarded Merchant under this Agreement for which Commissions will be paid to Referral Entity. For purposes of this Agreement, (i) “Boarded Merchant” means a Referred Merchant who signs a Merchant Agreement and begins a processing account with National Processing within six months of its referral by Referral Entity, and (ii) “Net Revenue” means, for any period of time, any and all processing and other fees and charges received by National Processing with respect to Boarded Merchants less interchange, assessments, processing costs, and any and all costs, expenses and losses (including, without limitation, chargebacks, returns, negative deposits (unfunded customer credits), and losses relating to merchant fraud, unauthorized security breaches and payment brand fines and penalties) attributable to such Boarded Merchants by National Processing. Referral Entity is not entitled to any other compensation for referrals except as stated in this paragraph. Referral Entity’s monthly compensation amount must exceed $50.00 in order to be processed.
3. Payment of Commissions. Commissions will be paid to Referral Entity within thirty (30) days from the end of the month in which the processing occurred as calculated by National Processing. Referral Entity will receive Commissions for as long as National Processing receives revenues attributable to Boarded Merchants; provided, however, that Commissions will immediately cease if this Agreement is terminated by National Processing due to an Event of Default (as defined below), or, if after termination of this Agreement, Referral Entity breaches Sections 9 or 10. Referral Entity must promptly examine all statements and reports related to its compensation as sent by National Processing and notify National Processing in writing of any asserted error(s) within thirty (30) days following the date of such statements and reports. After such period, Referral Entity will be deemed to have accepted such statements and reports as delivered.
4. Processing. National Processing will work closely with Referral Entity to meet the needs of the Boarded Merchants, and will deal with all pricing and fee issues with flexibility and concern for the Referral Agreement Page 1 of 6 Confidential protection of their relationship with Referral Entity. Each Boarded Merchant will have its own Merchant Agreement that sets forth in detail the rates and fees for that merchant. In the event of conflict between this Agreement and any Merchant Agreement, the Merchant Agreement shall control with respect to such Boarded Merchant.
5. Representations and Warranties. Referral Entity represents and warrants to National Processing that that the referral by Referral Entity of a merchant to enter into a Merchant Agreement with National Processing is not prohibited by or in breach or violation of any agreement to which Referral Entity is a party and is not in breach of any obligation or duty owed to any other person or entity. In the event Referral Entity accesses National Processing’s systems by establishing or supporting any interface or connectively thereto, Referral Entity represents and warrants to National Processing that its products and services comply with all applicable (i) rules, regulations, operating procedures, guidelines, specifications, and requirements as may be promulgated or amended from time to time (the “Rules”) of the payment brands, including but not limited to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (“PCI DSS”) as promulgated by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council, and the specifications and best practices of EMVCo. (“EMV Specifications”), and (ii) all Laws. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that any of Referral Entity’s products or services are not in compliance with the Rules or the Laws, Referral Entity will bring such products or services into compliance as soon as commercially possible.
6. Compliance With Laws. Each party will comply with all Laws and Rules which are applicable to the performance of such party’s obligations under this Agreement.
7. Term and Termination. The initial term of this Agreement will be three (3) years (“Initial Term”) and will renew automatically thereafter for one (1) year terms (each, a “Renewal Term”) unless either party gives written notice of termination at least sixty (60) days prior thereto. Either party may terminate this Agreement as follows (each, an “Event of Default”): (i) any representation or warranty made by either party proves to have been false or misleading in any material respect as of the date made, or becomes false or misleading at any time, (ii) either party fails to observe any material obligation specified in this Agreement, and such failure is not cured within 30 days of receipt of written notice from the non-breaching party, or (iii) either party engages in fraud or any act or omission that may damage the reputation, business, or goodwill of the other party. National Processing may terminate this Agreement immediately upon notice (A) should any payment brand determine that the activities of Referral Entity are those of an Independent Sales Organization or Member Service Provider, or (B) if required by its member bank, a payment brand or by law to terminate this Agreement. Following any termination of this Agreement, all materials and other tangible objects containing or representing Confidential Information (as defined below) which have been disclosed by either party to the other party, and all copies thereof which are in the possession of the other party, shall be and remain the property of such party and shall be promptly returned to such party.

9. Non-Solicitation. Referral Entity acknowledges and agrees that during the term of this Agreement and for a period of five (5) years after termination of this Agreement (including any extensions or renewals hereof), Referral Entity will not directly or indirectly solicit any Boarded Merchant, for the purpose, directly or indirectly, of providing or receiving bankcard services or other services that are the same as or similar to those services provided by National Processing during the term of this Agreement, including but not limited to the processing of and facilitating the payment of charges for the purchase of goods or services, without the prior written consent of National Processing.
