1.3 The Rebill Services are those defined in Clause three (3) of this Agreement.
1.4 The Rebill Companies provide the Rebill Services in five (5) countries: Colombia, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Chile, and Uruguay, the latter for transnational or cross-border operations (hereinafter, the "Rebill Countries").

If, instead, the Merchant processes payments in more than one country, Rebill creates a separate legal relationship with each Rebill Company incorporated in each Rebill Country in which payments are processed, resulting in multiple counterparties (for example, if the Merchant processes payments in Colombia, its counterparty is Rebill SAS; if it processes payments in Colombia, Argentina, and Chile, its counterparties are Rebill SAS for processing in Colombia, Rebill SA for processing in Argentina, and Rebill SpA for processing in Chile).
1.7 The law applicable to the resolution of disputes arising between the Merchant and the Rebill Company or Companies shall be the law of the country of domicile of the Rebill Company acting as counterparty for the relevant dispute.
1.8 Regardless of its domicile, the Merchant shall receive payments in the Rebill Countries in which it holds a Rebill Account, through the local payment methods enabled by Rebill in those countries. In certain countries, Rebill will perform the processing through authorized partners and acquirers in those jurisdictions.
1.9 Rebill may, at its discretion, enable the Merchant to receive payments by credit cards issued by an issuing bank that has no presence in the Rebill Countries where the Merchant processes its payments.

2.2 Rebill shall give the Merchant a period of thirty (30) calendar days to accept or reject the amendment.

8.8 The Merchant confirms that it has obtained payers’ consent under which Rebill is authorized to process payers’ personal information for the following purposes: processing payments, validating transactions, identity verification to protect the security of the Rebill platform against fraud events, and to mitigate the risk of cardholder identity theft.

10.3 A Reversal is the refund made by the payment-processing network to a payer for the amount of a purchase, at the request of Rebill, generally upon instruction of the Merchant. Rebill shall make Reversals at the request of the Payer, at the request of a financial institution, or on its own account, when applicable regulations so require.
10.4 The channels for requesting a Reversal, the time it takes, the typification of events in which a Reversal applies, and other related details, are included in the Reversals and Chargebacks Policy, which forms part of this Agreement and is published in the legal section of the Rebill website.
10.5 A Chargeback is the debit made by the acquiring bank to Rebill, resulting from a cardholder’s disavowal of a purchase before the card-issuing entity. Rebill shall pass Chargebacks on to the Merchant by debiting the Chargeback amount from the balances credited to the Merchant’s Rebill Account. If the Merchant cannot, for any reason, fully and punctually comply with its obligations to the Buyer, it shall take all necessary measures to resolve the breach directly with the Buyer, including, if applicable, by canceling the purchase, releasing Rebill, in any event, from any liability.
10.6 When Rebill notifies the Merchant of the disavowal of a purchase, the Merchant shall provide Rebill, within the term indicated by Rebill, with the documentation Rebill requires in order to defend on its behalf and on its account the transaction subject to dispute regarding a potential Chargeback. The decision to make or not to make a Chargeback, however, is at the discretion of the corresponding bank.
10.7 The events, documentation required to defend a transaction, and other details related to Chargebacks, may be modified or expanded by Rebill.
10.8 Likewise, Rebill shall debit from the amounts credited to the Merchant’s Rebill Account any sum paid by Rebill in connection with or arising from: (i) fines or penalties imposed on Rebill by third parties (card brands, acquirers, administrative authorities, among others); (ii) damages or losses suffered by Rebill as a consequence of litigation, lawsuits, judgments, or administrative proceedings, including court costs, procedural expenses, and attorneys’ fees; and (iii) settlement agreements entered into by Rebill to avoid or terminate litigation (the "Refund").
10.9 Rebill shall debit a Refund within three (3) business days following Rebill’s notice to the Merchant of the Refund. If Rebill cannot make the debit due to lack of funds in the Merchant’s Rebill Account or due to regulatory restrictions, the Merchant shall reimburse the monies paid to Rebill.
10.10 In order to mitigate the occurrence of Chargebacks, Reversals, and Refunds, Rebill is entitled to withhold amounts it deems reasonable to cover the risks to which Rebill is exposed.
10.11 Rebill may increase the withheld amount where it has reasonable grounds, based on objective data, that the existing amount is insufficient to cover the specific risks identified, on written notice to the Merchant, and subject to the cap in Clause 4.18.
10.12 Rebill shall release the withheld amount within ninety (90) calendar days following the date of the transaction subject to the withheld amount.
10.13 If the funds credited to the Rebill Account are not sufficient to cover Chargebacks, Reversals, or Refunds, Rebill shall deduct them from the withheld amount. If the withheld amount is not sufficient for this purpose, Rebill shall deduct them from future sales or, if the Merchant has more than one Rebill Account, from the funds of any of them.
10.14 If Rebill cannot deduct from future sales, it shall send a communication to the Merchant in order to obtain reimbursement. If Rebill does not obtain reimbursement within three (3) business days following its notice, it may temporarily block the Merchant’s access to payment methods or to its Balances, and unilaterally terminate the Agreement. Likewise, it may enforce applicable guarantees, report the Merchant to financial-information operators, credit bureaus, and initiate the corresponding extrajudicial or judicial actions.
10.16 Rebill may, notice, set off any monetary obligation owed by the Merchant to Rebill under this Agreement against the funds the Merchant holds in its Rebill Account, or any credit held in the Merchant’s favor, regardless of the place where the Rebill Services are provided or the currency of any of the obligations. If the obligations are denominated in different currencies, Rebill may convert any of the obligations at a market exchange rate, as part of its ordinary course of business, for setoff purposes.
10.16 Rebill may, upon prior notice, set off any monetary obligation owed by the Merchant to Rebill under this Agreement against funds held by the Merchant in its Rebill Account, or any credit in favor of the Merchant, regardless of where the Rebill Services are provided or the currency of any of the obligations. If the obligations are denominated in different currencies, Rebill may convert any of the obligations at a market exchange rate, as part of its ordinary course of business, for the purposes of set-off.
11. Guarantee

12.5 Upon termination of the Agreement, Rebill has the right to retain the amounts credited to the Rebill Account for a period of up to one hundred eighty (180) calendar days, counted from the date of the last transaction.

14.1 Whenever the Merchant has an API integration, the Merchant shall have terms and conditions for its buyers on its website, which shall include the following content (the "Buyer T&Cs"):
14.1 Whenever a Merchant has an API integration, the Merchant must include terms and conditions for its buyers on its website, which must include the following content (the “Buyer Terms and Conditions”):

14.6 Rebill may, at any time, request the Merchant to comply with the level of PCI DSS compliance required of the Merchant under the applicable card-scheme rules for its transaction volume.

Accordingly, the Merchant shall act as Controller of the Personal Information and must request the corresponding authorizations from payers for the processing of their data and for sharing it with Rebill for the purposes of this Agreement, while Rebill shall have the capacity of Processor of the personal information. Both parties shall comply with the obligations corresponding to their capacity, in accordance with applicable personal-data-protection regulations, as well as the provisions contained in the "Personal Data" section of these GTC. In addition, the Merchant accepts the conditions established in the Privacy Policy, which is an integral part of these GTC.

16.1 Rebill’s contractual liability to the Merchant shall be limited to direct, quantifiable, verifiable, and foreseeable material damages attributable to the culpable acts or omissions of Rebill.

The carve-outs set out in Clause 16.4 apply equally to Rebill's liability under this Clause.
17.3 Any party seeking indemnification under this Clause 17 shall: (i) give the indemnifying party prompt written notice of the relevant claim; (ii) allow the indemnifying party to participate in, and at its election control, the defence of the claim with counsel of its choice; and (iii) not admit liability for, settle, or compromise the claim without the indemnifying party's prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Annex: Provisions Applicable in Each Authorized Country
Provisions Applicable to Argentina
(Applies only if the merchant processes payments in Argentina)
1. Consumer Liability
1.1 The Rebill Companies, Rebill SA (hereinafter, "Rebill Argentina" or "Rebill"), their employees, and/or shareholders are not liable for any payer claims regarding goods or services acquired from the Merchant through Rebill, and the Merchant shall hold the Rebill Companies and/or Rebill Argentina harmless and indemnify them for all damages, losses, costs, and expenses incurred in connection with their defense against any claim related to Consumer Protection Law No. 24,240.
2. Compliance with the Central Bank Regulations (BCRA)
2.1 Rebill Argentina S.A. is authorized by the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic (BCRA) to operate as a Payment Services Provider (PSP), and is registered with the Financial Information Unit (UIF) for compliance with anti-money-laundering and counter-terrorism-financing obligations. As a PSP, Rebill Argentina offers payment-processing services, including the collection and aggregation of payments, without operating as a regulated financial institution to take deposits. Funds collected in payment accounts do not constitute deposits in a financial institution, nor are they covered by any of the guarantees that such deposits may have in accordance with applicable regulations and laws regarding deposits in financial institutions.
2.2 Rebill Argentina, in accordance with local regulation, is authorized to collect payments in Argentina in Argentine pesos. Rebill Argentina does not collect payments in foreign currency, nor does it have access to the foreign-exchange market to collect international payments. The Merchant does not expect to use Rebill Argentina for the collection of payments derived from imports and exports, and shall notify Rebill Argentina if it wishes to do so.
2.3 Rebill Argentina is a PSP that complies with BCRA regulations, including its obligations as a registered PSP. Rebill Argentina offers payment-collection services on behalf of the Merchant (as a payment aggregator), but does not offer initiation, digital-wallet, payment-account services, or any other regulated service not authorized under its PSP license.
3. Foreign Exchange Issues
3.1 The Argentine foreign-exchange control regime, regulated and supervised by the BCRA, establishes a series of requirements for the remittance of funds outside Argentina, and imposes controls over capital entering the country. By indication of the BCRA, commercial banks are responsible for determining the viability of foreign-trade and/or exchange operations. The Merchant acknowledges that, in light of the foreign-exchange system in force in Argentina, the acquisition of foreign currency and/or transfers to bank accounts established abroad may be subject to certain restrictions, or be prohibited, suspended, or limited in whole or in part, or in some cases require prior authorization from the BCRA.
3.2 Neither Rebill Argentina nor the Rebill Companies shall be liable for any prohibition, restriction, limitation, or impediment to the acquisition of foreign currency and/or transfer of Balances from the Merchant’s Rebill Account to any Bank Account located outside the Argentine Republic. The Merchant shall refrain from filing claims against Rebill Argentina or the Rebill Companies for any loss arising from the prohibition, restriction, limitation, or impediment to the acquisition of foreign currency and/or transfer of Balances to a bank account located outside the Argentine Republic, including, without limitation, the depreciation of the currency in which the Balances are deposited.
3.3 The Merchant authorizes Rebill Argentina to share this Agreement with financial institutions, when this is required as support to transfer the Merchant’s funds to a bank account located outside the Argentine Republic.
4. Liability of the Rebill Companies
4.1 In light of the principle of relativity of contracts and the autonomy of private will, the Parties recognize that the contractual relationship between the Merchant and the payer is a principal, autonomous, and independent contractual relationship of the relationship arising from this Agreement entered into between the Rebill Companies and the Merchant. The Rebill Companies are not liable for any contractual or non-contractual breach by the payer toward the Merchant, and vice versa.
4.2 Under this Agreement, the Rebill Companies are principally obligated to collect the payment that the Payers make to the Merchant, without prejudice to other contractual obligations supplementary to collection or appointment to receive payment, such as using their System to process the collection of monies. Consequently, the payment-collection service ends at the moment in which the funds paid by the payer are credited to the Merchant’s Rebill Account.
4.3 Under this Agreement and as provided in Section 4.2 above, the Rebill Companies fulfill their main obligation, and are released under the Agreement, upon crediting the payers’ payment to the Merchant’s Rebill Account. The destination chosen by the Merchant for the Balances is the exclusive responsibility of the Merchant, and nothing in this Agreement may be interpreted as, or imply that there was, a proposal or advice by the Rebill Companies regarding the destination to be given to the Balances.
4.4 Neither Rebill Argentina S.A. nor the Rebill Companies shall be liable for the Merchant’s choice of mechanism for transferring the Balances, whether to its Bank Accounts, and whether such accounts are its own or those of a third party, local or international.
4.5 Until the Merchant indicates where and how the Balances should be transferred, the Rebill Companies shall keep the Balances of the Rebill Accounts deposited in a bank account of Rebill Argentina (the "Rebill Argentina Account") at the main banks of the Argentine financial system, including but not limited to Banco Galicia, Citibank Argentina, Banco HSBC, etc. (the "Bank" or "Banks"). The Rebill Argentina Account is a collection account or accounts in which funds are collected on behalf of different Merchants. Nothing in this Agreement shall be understood or interpreted as Rebill Argentina being under the obligation to provide payment accounts, Rebill accounts, or independent accounts for each Merchant. Neither the Rebill Companies nor Rebill Argentina shall be liable in any event for the insolvency of the Banks where the Balances are deposited, or for political and economic situations that may arise in the country and are beyond the control of Rebill Argentina and/or the Rebill Companies. In such cases, the Merchants may not assign any liability to Rebill Argentina and/or the Rebill Companies, their affiliates or subsidiaries, controlling or controlled companies, or demand reimbursement of the Balance or payment for loss of profits.
5. Arbitration Clause
5.1 This Agreement shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Argentine Republic. The Parties agree that any dispute or litigation arising from this Agreement shall be finally resolved by the Arbitration Tribunal of the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange, with waiver of any other forum and/or jurisdiction. The proceeding shall be conducted in Spanish.

6.1.2.2. Resident Merchants release Rebill from liability for any damages (including, but not limited to, updated amounts of unpaid taxes, interest, fines, expenses, court costs, and attorneys’ fees) arising from any discrepancy with the Argentine tax authorities regarding the application or exemption of withholdings and/or tax collections made by Rebill.

6.1.3. If any of the Resident Merchant’s tax attributes or condition (related to its tax obligations in Argentina) are modified, the Merchant shall immediately inform Rebill Argentina so that it may make the corresponding adjustments. Rebill Argentina may request the Merchant to deliver documents evidencing the change in the tax situation reported by the Merchant. If the change in the tax situation is not reported in a timely manner to Rebill Argentina and tax withholdings are not made on time, or debited from users, by Rebill Argentina and paid to the tax authority, the Resident Merchant shall be liable for the withholdings not made and the taxes that ceased to be paid to the authority, and Rebill Argentina may apply the provisions of Clause 4.18 of the general part of this Agreement, as well as transfer to Rebill Argentina any amount pending payment to the tax authority (including penalties and interest).
6.1.4. Guarantees.
6.1.4.1. If Rebill receives any notice from the Argentine tax authorities regarding withholdings and/or collections not made or made at a rate lower than the maximum legal rate, it shall withhold in part or in whole the existing or future funds credited to the Resident Merchant’s Rebill Account in order to remain indemnified from all damages and losses arising from the relevant contingency.

6.1.5. Chargebacks and Refunds.
6.1.5.1. Rebill shall not return the amount withheld and/or collected from the transfer of Balances, even when it considers it excessive in light of reversals or chargebacks of sales made in favor of Argentine users.

3. Services
3.1 Rebill is a payment orchestrator that provides the Merchant with the following services: (A) Online orchestration of payments resulting from the e-commerce sale of goods and services, through a technology platform (the “Rebill Platform”). (B) Enabling payment for the goods and services offered to its buyers through various payment methods. (C) Facilitating the validation of transactions paid by credit card in order to mitigate the risk of fraud through cardholder identity theft. (D) Facilitating, through technological infrastructure, the orchestration of collection of the payments resulting from the Merchant’s transactions. Rebill transmits electronic instructions from the Merchant to duly licensed acquirers, payment processors and financial institutions, which execute collection and settlement without Rebill acquiring, controlling or taking custody of funds at any time. Collection is executed by duly licensed acquirers, payment processors and/or financial institutions, on behalf of and for the account of the Merchant. (E) Facilitating, through the Rebill Platform, the instruction and technical execution of settlement or transfer processes for the amounts collected. A settlement request constitutes an instruction that Rebill transmits electronically to the relevant duly licensed acquirer, payment processor or financial institution, which independently executes the transfer of funds. Rebill has no access to or control over the execution of the movement of funds. Such processes are performed by duly licensed acquirers, payment processors or financial institutions, in accordance with the applicable operating model (the “Rebill Services”). Rebill may facilitate collection through authorized partners and acquirers.
3.2 Rebill does not hold, take custody of or acquire title to the amounts collected on behalf of the Merchant. Such funds are received, held and settled by duly licensed acquirers, payment processors and/or financial institutions. Rebill is limited to maintaining operational and technical records and to executing the electronic instructions issued by the Merchant through the Rebill Platform.
3.3 Rebill does not provide regulated financial, postal-money-order or securities services, nor does it endorse the use of its Platform by third parties lacking a license to do so.
3.4 The amounts collected on behalf of the Merchant shall be settled to the Merchant by the relevant duly licensed acquirers, payment processors or financial institutions, in accordance with their settlement processes. Rebill may technically execute the settlement instructions issued by the Merchant, without assuming custody, control or title over the funds.
3.5 Rebill does not recognize any interest or remuneration in connection with the amounts collected on behalf of the Merchant. Such funds are not guaranteed by any governmental entity, except to the extent they are held in accounts maintained by regulated financial institutions that provide coverage as set out in Clause 4.20, subject to the conditions stated therein.
3.6 The Rebill Services do not entail the granting of powers to comply with the Merchant’s tax or foreign-exchange obligations. The Merchant is solely responsible for knowing and complying with applicable legislation. Rebill is not a party to, and has no interest in, the contracts entered into between the Merchant and its Buyers.
3.7 Rebill has no control over the manufacture, import, export, distribution, or marketing of the goods and services offered by the Merchant. Therefore, it does not guarantee their quantity, quality, suitability, safety, or delivery.
3.8 Rebill does not warrant the authenticity or legality of the transactions processed through its Platform. The risk of fraud through payer identity theft, or the illegality of a transaction, is borne entirely by the Merchant.
3.9 Rebill may subcontract or delegate the performance of its obligations to third parties or its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Rebill shall remain responsible for the performance of such obligations. Rebill is not, and does not act as, an acquirer, banking entity, financial institution and/or payment remitter. Rebill provides and markets the Services directly or through, and on behalf and at the order of, payment processors, acquirers, banks, payment partners, etc., as Rebill determines at its sole discretion.
4. Rebill Account and Settlement of Balances
4.1 Upon acceptance of this Agreement, Rebill shall create a single user account for the Merchant in the Rebill Platform (the “Rebill Account”) and shall grant access to the Merchant Portal and/or Dashboard through a username and password. The Merchant is solely responsible for safeguarding such password. Any operation performed with the access credentials shall be valid and binding upon the Parties.
4.2 Rebill shall request certain information from the Merchant in order to enable its Rebill Account. Once the Rebill Account is active, Rebill may, at any time, request any information or documentation necessary to provide the Rebill Services, including financial statements, tax documentation, operational information, business model, changes to products or services, delivery-time changes, and any other information to analyze credit risk, comply with legal provisions and card-brand rules (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, etc.). If the Merchant fails to deliver the information within the stated period, Rebill may suspend, in whole or in part, the Rebill Services (including settlement or transfer processes under the applicable operating model). The Merchant shall promptly notify any material change in such information or documentation.
4.3 Rebill may obtain information through database operators. The Merchant authorizes Rebill to use such operators.
4.4 Once Rebill has obtained the information to its satisfaction, it shall enable the Merchant’s Rebill Account.
4.5 Rebill may refrain from enabling the Merchant’s Rebill Account at its sole discretion, and shall communicate such decision to the Merchant.
4.6 The Rebill Account shall be associated with internal operating sub-ledgers in which Rebill reflects, for informational purposes, the amounts resulting from the Merchant’s sales.
4.7 The Rebill Account constitutes solely an internal operating record within the Rebill Platform. Such account may reflect, depending on the operating model enabled for the Merchant: (i) balances associated with a connected account provided and administered by an authorized acquirer or payment processor; and/or (ii) balances associated with a bank account provided by a duly licensed financial institution, where such service is expressly enabled. In no case does the Rebill Account constitute a bank account, a regulated payment account or a fund-custody instrument held by Rebill.
4.8 The Merchant shall receive the proceeds of its sales, after deduction of Rebill’s Fees, reversals, chargebacks and withheld amounts, through the settlement mechanisms enabled under the applicable operating model, including connected accounts or bank accounts provided by duly licensed financial institutions, where applicable (the “Balances”).
4.9 By accessing the Merchant Portal and/or Dashboard, the Merchant may consult in real time the status of transactions and the amount of Balances available for settlement under the enabled operating model. Rebill shall not send account statements, as the Merchant may access all information in the Portal.
4.10 The Merchant may, through the Rebill Dashboard, request the settlement or transfer of available Balances, where the applicable operating model so permits, indicating the relevant amount. Such request constitutes an electronic instruction issued by the Merchant to Rebill, for Rebill to transmit electronically to the relevant acquirer, payment processor or licensed financial institution, which independently executes the transfer of funds. Rebill has no access to or control over the execution of the movement of funds; it technically executes the settlement or transfer order solely by sending the electronic instruction to the authorized processor, without assuming custody, control or title over the funds.
4.11 The Balances shall be settled to the Merchant by the relevant acquirer, payment processor or duly licensed financial institution, in accordance with their settlement processes and the enabled operating model. Under the agreed commercial conditions, settlement or transfer of Balances shall generally occur within forty-eight (48) business hours following receipt of the funds by the relevant acquiring bank, subject to additional validations for disputes, chargebacks or similar risks. Balances relating to operations under validation shall not be settled or transferred until completed, and such non-settlement shall not constitute a breach.
4.12 The Merchant authorizes Rebill to apply deductions resulting from exchange rates, bank charges, fluctuations, devaluations or the like, where applicable to cross-border transactions.
4.13 If the Merchant needs to change the Bank Account, it shall provide Rebill with the documentation required to verify ownership. Rebill shall modify the Bank Account within three (3) business days following satisfactory receipt.
4.14 The Merchant releases Rebill from liability for erroneous or unsuccessful transfers due to the improper provision of information.
4.16 If the Merchant breaches this Agreement, Rebill may disable payment methods or suspend the settlement or availability of Balances.
4.16 If the Merchant breaches this Agreement, Rebill may disable payment methods or suspend the settlement or availability of Balances.
4.17 Rebill may instruct the acquirer/processor to withhold/suspend, and terminate the Agreement, in cases of: (i) excessive levels of Chargebacks; (ii) signs of illiquidity or insolvency; (iii) systematic failure to deliver goods/services; (iv) a substantial increase in consumer complaints; (v) pending tax obligations. The Merchant authorizes such withholdings.
4.18 Where required by the acquirers or payment processors, a rolling reserve of seven percent (7%) of the processed amounts may be applied, retained for thirty (30) calendar days, to cover risks such as chargebacks, disputes or fraud. The rolling reserve shall be applied, retained and held exclusively by the relevant acquirer, payment processor or duly licensed financial institution. Rebill only reflects such reserve informationally in the Merchant’s Rebill Account. The reserve shall be released progressively as the retention periods elapse and shall not accrue interest in favor of the Merchant.
4.19 ACH Debit Authorization. Where the operating model enabled for the Merchant includes the use of a bank account, the Merchant expressly, previously and irrevocably authorizes Rebill, and/or the duly licensed acquirers, payment processors or financial institutions participating in the Rebill Services, to initiate electronic debits (ACH debit) from such account, exclusively for: (i) collection of the Fees due to Rebill; (ii) reversal of payments, Chargebacks and Refunds; (iii) operational adjustments, set-offs, rolling reserves or withheld amounts under this Agreement; and (iv) charges imposed by acquirers, card brands or financial institutions as a result of the Merchant’s activity. Such debits shall be executed through the ACH network and by duly licensed financial institutions acting as Originating Depository Financial Institutions (ODFI), in accordance with applicable rules. Rebill and/or its authorized processors operate under a duly registered ODFI framework and comply, where applicable, as Third-Party Senders registered with NACHA, in accordance with all applicable ACH Network regulations in their respective jurisdictions. Rebill does not acquire title to or custody of the Merchant’s funds, nor act as a money transmitter, and is limited to technically executing the authorized instructions. This authorization shall survive termination of the Agreement with respect to outstanding obligations.
4.20 Funds Held Through Sponsor Bank and FDIC Coverage. Where the operating model enabled for the Merchant includes a bank account provided by a duly licensed financial institution, the Merchant acknowledges and accepts that the funds shall be held and kept in custody exclusively by such financial institution, and not by Rebill. Such funds may be eligible for Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance coverage up to the maximum permitted by applicable rules, currently USD 250,000 per Merchant, subject to the relevant institution being an FDIC-insured entity and to the applicable conditions of such insurance. Rebill is not an FDIC-insured entity, does not provide any insurance coverage, and does not guarantee the eligibility or scope of such coverage. The reference to possible FDIC coverage is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an offer, promise or contractual warranty by Rebill.
5. Fees
5.1 Rebill shall charge the Merchant, for the Rebill Services, the Fees in effect at the time of acceptance of this Agreement (the “Fees”), plus applicable taxes under current regulation (including VAT or similar, not included in the base Fees).
