Additionally, AAkonsult may suspend your access to Payments2us until such access is granted.##(b) You agree that if Your access to the Software is reinstated after a suspension for non-payment in accordance with clause 5(a), You will pay a reasonable reinstatement fee.

PAYMENT GATEWAYS####(a) Sign-Up Agreement: When a customer clicks the Sign-Up button and the payment gateway used is Windcave, the customer agrees to Windcave's Payment Gateway Terms and Conditions.####(b) Compliance with Windcave Terms: By using the Windcave Payment Gateway, you acknowledge and agree to comply with Windcave's Terms and Conditions, which are available at Windcave Terms and Conditions.####(c) Billing and Agency Disclaimer: The following outlines the billing processes for transactions facilitated by AAkonsult through different payment gateways:####(i)For transactions processed through Windcave, AAkonsult being an agent for Windcave is billed directly by Windcave for the number of transactions performed by You. AAkonsult then invoices on the basis of the number of transactions reported by Windcave and charges the “Merchant fee per credit card & automatic Direct Debit transaction” fees as noted in https://www.payments2us.com/pricing . Take note on (e) below regarding card charge attempts.####(ii) For transactions processed through payment gateways other than Windcave, you have a direct billing relationship with the payment gateways in addition to one with AAkonsult. AAkonsult facilitates these transactions and relies on its own software for a report on the number of transactions performed as noted in Clause 3. AAkonsult then invoices on the basis of the number of transactions and charges the “Merchant fee per credit card & automatic Direct Debit transaction” fees as noted in https://www.payments2us.com/pricing####(d) Fraud Prevention with MaxMind MinFraud: Payments2Us employs the MaxMind MinFraud risk scoring system to prevent fraudulent card testing activity on your Payment/Donation Form. We recommend setting the MinFraud value to the default specified in our Knowledgebase here. Increasing this value increases the risk of fraudulent card testing activity by hackers.####(e) Charges for Card Charge Attempts: Please be aware that Windcave charges for all card charge attempts, not just successful transactions. During fraudulent card charge events, Windcave will charge for each attempt, and we will pass these charges on to you. By signing this agreement, you acknowledge and accept the potential risks and charges associated with increasing MinFraud above our recommended settings and by using Windcave.####(f)Liability Disclaimer: AAkonsult shall not be liable for any charges or fees incurred due to fraudulent card charge attempts processed through Windcave or any other payment gateway. The client acknowledges and agrees that:##(i) The client remains fully liable for all charges billed by Windcave irrespective of the legitimacy of the transactions.####(ii) AAkonsult will invoice the client based on the number of transactions reported by Windcave. The client is obligated to pay these invoices in full, even if some transactions are later identified as fraudulent.####(iii) The client is responsible for resolving any disputes or issues related to fraudulent transactions directly with the payment gateway provider. Payments2Us and AAkonsult will not be held accountable for reimbursing any fraudulent charges or fees.####(iv) The client should notify AAkonsult immediately upon discovering any fraudulent card charge attempts. While AAkonsult will assist in providing necessary transaction details for dispute resolution, it does not bear any financial liability for the fraudulent charges.####9.
