- Except as related directly and exclusively to the Digital Payment System, any dispute regarding any Products shall be between the End User, as the sender of the funds to license or purchase the Products, and the Merchant, as the provider of such licenses to use or Products sold, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Laws. Except for those directly and exclusively related to the Digital Payment System, any Transaction related to the Products will only bind the Merchant. PagSeguro will not be a party to any resulting disputes. Without prejudice to the limitations of liability contained in Clause 11 of the Agreement, the Merchant shall fully indemnify PagSeguro for any loss or liability (including full reimbursement of reputational damage and/or any legal and professional costs) that PagSeguro suffers or incurs as a result of, or in connection with, any claim made or threatened by a third party in relation to the Products, as provided in Clause 9.3. below.
- Since PagSeguro collects the End User’s consent to its terms and applicable policies (such as, but not limited to, the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy) through the Digital Payment System, Merchant is aware and agrees not to make any changes to the Digital Payment System that could, in any way, prevent or bypass such collection and/or such consent.

- Any penalties imposed by any Card or Payment Scheme operator or relevant participant, including but not limited to, excessive Chargeback levels, shall be the sole responsibility of the Merchant.

- PagSeguro may charge additional Fees related to excessive levels of Chargebacks, as described in the Cover Page.
- PagSeguro is entitled to deduct any amount due by the Merchant, as a consequence of this Clause 4.3, from the funds to be settled to the Merchant. In the event that there are insufficient funds to pay such amount, PagSeguro will provide the Merchant with an invoice showing the amount due and payable by the Merchant for the reimbursement of the amounts mentioned in this Agreement, which must be paid within thirty (30) days after the issuance of the invoice.
- PagSeguro may retain a monthly reserve of the funds settled to the Merchant (“Reserve”), which will be retained by PagSeguro for the next four (4) months and released upon the settlement of the amounts due in the fifth month. The amounts of the Reserve are set forth in the Cover Page.

PagSeguro may collect and store the data related to the Transaction, including End-Users consent in accordance with the respective privacy notice (if required by the law of the Territory) for the purpose of processing the Transaction. Any claims by the End User relating to the amount or consent on the Payment Method, as well as any disputes regarding the Payment Scheme Rules and any legal requirements are the sole responsibility of the Merchant to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law. If in any way, PagSeguro is involved in any legal trial or administrative procedure that involves any claim from the End User regarding Merchant’s Products, PagSeguro will put Merchant on notice of this situation. As a result, Merchant will be obligated to substitute PagSeguro in said legal trial or administrative procedure. For avoidance of doubt, the option for recurring payments shall be activated on Merchant Account and the applicable charges and Fees will be applied to each individual Transaction.
4.5. PagSeguro’s Digital Payment System provides the Merchant with the ability to pre-authorize different Payment Types to allow certain End Users to make one-click payments. It is the sole responsibility of the Merchant to obtain the consent and authorization of the End User to process one-click payments and to pre-authorize any Payment Type in accordance with applicable legal requirements, local laws and policies, as well as to inform (or obtain the consent of the End User, if required by the law of the Territory) and transfer the necessary data to PagSeguro to process Transactions.

For the avoidance of doubt, applicable charges and Fees will apply to each individual Transaction.

- If required to do so under Payment Scheme Rules and/or relevant and applicable Regulatory Requirements.

Within one (1) day from receipt of the payment request and the information referred to in Clause 6.1 above, and provided that (i) there is sufficient balance in the Merchant Account resulting from the payment Transactions, or (ii) the Merchant has made previous deposits into the PagSeguro International Account in amounts sufficient to cover the Payout Request (“Prefunding”), PagSeguro will transfer funds to the Payout Account in accordance with the procedures detailed in Clause 6.3 below. In the event that there is no active and/or valid Payout Account available in the name of the Payee, or in the event that the information transmitted pursuant to Clause 6.1 above is inaccurate or incorrect, PagSeguro will return a denial message to the Merchant through the application programming interface (“API”) used for communication between the Parties. In this case, the balance of the Merchant Account will remain unchanged, and the operation will only be retried in the event Merchant provides a new specific Payout Request.
6.2.1. It is hereby agreed that PagSeguro shall have no liability to the Payees for the Payout transactions requested by the Merchant. PagSeguro's liabilities shall be limited to the relationship between PagSeguro and the Merchant as set forth in this Agreement. In no event shall PagSeguro be jointly liable with any Merchant for any payment or transfer of amounts requested by the Merchant.
6.3. In the event the Payout Account is both available and active, and the correct information has been transmitted in accordance with the provisions set forth in Clause 6.1 above, PagSeguro will transfer the applicable amount in the currency of the Territory where the Payout Account is held, subject to the Applicable Law and terms of this Clause 6.
6.4. On each Business Day, PagSeguro will provide the Merchant with (i) a Payout report, identifying all Payouts made on the previous day(s) from the previous report; (ii) a balance report, stating the existing balance of the previous Prefunding paid by the Merchant; (iii) a balance of net funds retained by PagSeguro as a result of the procedure set forth in Clause 6.8 below, as applicable; and (iv) deductions in EUR or USD made on the previous day(s) from the previous report (“Payout Reports”). The deductions shall represent the sum of the values of (a) the EUR or USD equivalent (converted at the Observed Exchange Rate) of all Payout executed by PagSeguro, as set forth herein; and (b) Payout Fees on Payout executed by PagSeguro; and (iii) the IOF and other applicable taxes related to any of the foregoing. The existing balance shall be equal to the previous Prefunding paid by the Merchant less previous days. If the Merchant has also opted for the Digital Payment System services, the reports mentioned herein shall also consider any Payouts executed by PagSeguro using funds relating to such services available in the PagSeguro International Account, as provided in Clause 6.8 hereof, as well as the balance amount converted into the Local Currency available for Payouts.
6.4.1. The Merchant shall monitor the Merchant Account balance to assess the need and timing for a new Prefunding. The Merchant shall take timely action to ensure the balance amount in the Merchant Account is sufficient to make the Payouts. Except as otherwise required by the applicable Regulatory Requirements of the respective Territory, as long as the Digital Payment Services are in force, Payouts will be executed using the funds available in the Local Currency as a priority and, when the balance amount is not sufficient, the existing Prefunding balance shall be applied.
6.4.2. The equivalent value in USD (the “Value in USD”) or value in EUR (the “Value in EUR”) of each Payout in the Local Currency (the “Applicable Value”) shall be calculated according to the following formula:
Value in USD/Value in EUR = Applicable Value * (1 / Observed Exchange Rate)
6.4.2.1. The aggregate Value in USD shall be rounded to the nearest 1/100 of USD and the Value in EUR shall be rounded to the nearest 1/100 of EUR.
6.4.2.2. For example, assuming (for the purpose of clarification of the formula only, and not implying that the figures in this Clause are real ones) that Payout in Applicable Value = 100; Observed Exchange Rate = 5.00; Fee = 2%; FX tax = 0.38%, then:
Value in USD/EUR = 100 * (1 / 5.00) = 20.00
Fee in USD/EUR = (2% * 100) * (1 / 5.00) = 0.40
FX tax in USD/EUR = (0.38% * 100) * (1 / 5.00) = 0.08
6.4.2.3. In case of any increase of the tax burden between the date of the Prefunding and the date of the Payout (including, but not limited to, any increase in the FX tax rate applicable to international facilitator service providers or to the Exchange Bank), the difference will be included by PagSeguro in future debit notes.
6.5. Under its sole discretion, PagSeguro may use any amounts received by the Merchant in Local Currency which have not been settled to the Merchant abroad yet to execute a Payout Request. In this case, the total amount of the Payout Request will be considered for purposes of the applicable FX transactions to be entered into pursuant to the Central Bank regulations, including for tax purposes.
6.5.1. The periodicity and the commercial conditions of the conversion in all cases (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the conversion rate) shall be freely negotiated between PagSeguro and the Exchange Bank. Merchant understands and agrees that the actual rate of conversion from USD or EUR to Local Currency agreed with the Exchange Bank may be different from that used for calculation of the Value in USD or Value in EUR pursuant to Clause 6.4 and its subclauses above.
6.6. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, PagSeguro reserves the right not to accept or execute a Payout Request:
- if Merchant has not fulfilled any of its obligations under this Agreement, including the obligation to maintain sufficient balance in the Merchant Account;
- if PagSeguro deems the Payout Request to be (a) made in breach of this Agreement; or (b) suspicious, unauthorized or fraudulent, including with relation to money laundering, terrorism financing, fraud or other illegal activities;
- upon the insolvency, liquidation, winding up, bankruptcy, general composition with creditors, receivership or dissolution of the Merchant, or where PagSeguro reasonably considers that there is a threat of the same in relation to the Merchant;
- if required to do so under relevant and Applicable Laws or regulation;
- if the requested Payout would exceed the limit of single or aggregate Payouts previously approved by PagSeguro and informed to Merchant for the relevant period; or
- if Payee does not complete the procedures to activate its Payout Account or is not entitled to hold a Payout Account pursuant to applicable Brazilian laws and regulations or PagBank’s regulations and policies, when applicable (for example, if Payee is not 18 years old or older on the date of activation of the Payout Account, or if the information sent by Merchant pursuing Clause 6.1 above is inaccurate or incorrect).
6.7. Until termination of this Agreement, in case Merchant contracts another services provider for the provision of services of the same or similar nature of the Facilitation Services hereunder, Merchant shall give preference and priority to the Facilitation Services rendered by PagSeguro. This includes placing PagSeguro in a more visible position in the Merchant’s apps and websites, as well as implementing any modifications that PagSeguro may reasonably request in writing to perform such preference and priority rights.
6.8. Provided that the Merchant has also opted for the Facilitation Services, in accordance with the provisions set out in the Cover Page, which relate to the provision of payment services to the Merchant's End Users in the Territory, and for as long as such services remain in force, the Parties agree that PagSeguro, in its sole discretion, may use up to 100% (one hundred percent) of the net funds (i.e., after all deductions provided for in this Agreement) arising therefrom and collected in the Territory by PagSeguro, for the purpose of fulfilling a Payout Request made by the Merchant under this Agreement, provided that there are sufficient funds in the applicable currency in the Merchant Account. Except as otherwise required by the applicable Regulatory Requirements of the respective Territory, as long as the Digital Payment Services are in force, Payouts will be executed using the funds available in the Local Currency as a priority and, when the balance amount is not sufficient, the existing prefunding balance shall be applied.
The Merchant hereby acknowledges that:
(i) only amounts in the applicable currency that are due and payable under this Agreement may be used to fulfill a Payout Request hereunder;
(ii) any amounts required to be withheld or deducted, or otherwise owed to PagSeguro under this Agreement, shall not be available for Payout Requests; and
(iii) PagSeguro shall inform the Merchant of the funds used in accordance with this Clause.
The net amounts described herein shall be considered for financial flow purposes only. For the purposes of foreign exchange transactions and related taxation, all amounts shall be considered in full (i.e., gross) as provided by the applicable regulations.
6.9. For the purposes of the Payout operation regarding Payees located in Chile, the Parties hereby acknowledge and declare that the rights and obligations related to these services will be governed by the rules of the commercial mandate, as regulated by the Chilean Commercial Code. Thus, PagSeguro’s Chilean Affiliate will act as a mandatary of the Merchant, following its instructions to complete payments to Payees domiciled in Chile. Accordingly, by means of this Agreement, Merchant grants the corresponding PagSeguro’s Chilean Affiliate a commercial mandate, governed by Chilean Law, to make payments to Merchant’s Payees on its behalf. For the purposes of the rules applicable to this mandate, it shall be irrevocable, remunerated, and shall have the same duration as this Agreement. PagSeguro’s Chilean Affiliate may receive funds from the Merchant to be held in deposit and applied to future payments. In such case, the former will be acting as a commercial depositary (depositario comercial).
7. FEES AND PAYMENTS RELATED TO FACILITATION SERVICES
7.1. As consideration for the Facilitation Services, Merchant shall pay PagSeguro the fee for each Payout successfully executed by PagSeguro (“Payout Fees”), as established in the Cover Page.
7.2. The Payout Fees shall be indicated in the daily reports issued by PagSeguro to the Merchant, shall be exclusive of taxes, and shall be deducted from the prefunding balance, as set forth herein.
8. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

The Merchant represents and warrants that it is the legitimate bearer and/or properly licensed agent of all necessary intellectual and industrial property rights from Products under the terms hereof and shall reasonably and promptly provide to PagSeguro proof of such rights upon PagSeguro’s request, including the related rights to license and distribute the software, rights on trademark and copyrights in anyway related to Products. The Merchant hereby exempts PagSeguro from all and any demand or claim arising from or somehow related to the representation herein, and the Merchant also agrees to indemnify and hold PagSeguro harmless in relation with any of such lawsuit or claim. Merchant shall, to the extent permitted by the law, take any action to hold PagSeguro harmless from any preliminary or permanent injunction for the alleged infringement of intellectual property rights of third parties.

PagSeguro retains the right to, without limitation, use, copy, modify, license, sublicense and distribute the Digital Payment System and/or the Facilitation Services. Merchant shall not apply for any patent, trademark registration, domain name, copyright registration or other intellectual property right in contravention of this paragraph or else it shall immediately and gratuitously assign or cancel, at PagSeguro's choice and Merchant's expense the respective application, domain name, patent or registration to prevent any undue filings.
8.4. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and prior written consent of the other Party, the Parties agree to provide a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferrable, terminable, worldwide cross license to use each other’s Marks strictly for purposes of promoting the authority of PagSeguro to provide Merchant with the ability to use the Services. Under no circumstances shall this license be construed as granting the Merchant the authority to use PagSeguro Marks for purposes of the promotion or the endorsement of the Products.
8.4.1. If the Merchant uses PagSeguro Marks for any purpose other than those provided for in this Agreement, the license granted herein and this Agreement shall be immediately terminated. In addition, the Merchant shall be liable to PagSeguro for any damages resulting from such unauthorized use, including without limitation, reputational damages, actual damages, enforcement costs, and reasonable attorneys' fees. The Merchant shall also promptly cease all use of the Marks upon receipt of notice from PagSeguro to do so.
8.5. Each Party, when using the Marks of the other Party, will comply with the applicable trademark guidelines of the other Party. Each Party may amend these trademark guidelines in its sole discretion at any time by providing written notice to other Party. Each Party shall have no other rights in the Marks except as expressly set forth in this Clause 8. Either Party shall not modify the other Parties’ Marks and shall indicate that the other Party Marks, and any trademarks, logos or service marks of third Parties, are owned by their respective owners. Each Party may monitor the usage of the Marks by the other.
8.6. Except as expressly set forth herein, nothing in this Agreement is intended to grant any right in or to either Party under any patent, copyright, trade secret or other intellectual property right, nor shall this Agreement grant either Party any right, title or license in or to the other Party’s Confidential Information.
8.7. The Merchant undertakes to comply with all obligations and restrictions applicable to the use of the trademarks of the Payment Scheme, in accordance with the respective Payment Scheme Rules.
8.8. The Merchant acknowledges that the Payment Scheme is the sole and exclusive owner of its respective trademarks, copyrights and all intellectual and industrial property rights. Accordingly, the Merchant undertakes to respect and preserve such rights, to refrain from any misuse, and not to assert any claims that may infringe upon the rights set forth in the applicable Payment Scheme Rules. The Merchant shall not apply for any patent, trademark, domain name, copyright, or any other intellectual property right in violation of this Agreement, its Exhibits, or the provisions of this paragraph.
8.9. The Payment Scheme operator or the relevant acquirers may, at any time and with immediate effect, prohibit the Merchant from using any of their respective trademarks in the event of: (i) a breach of the rules governing trademark use or any applicable legal or regulatory provision related to intellectual property; or (ii) any factual circumstance that, at the sole discretion of the Payment Scheme operators, may cause direct or indirect harm to their trademarks.
8.10. PagSeguro may require the Merchant to make changes to its website or take any other necessary or appropriate measures to ensure compliance with the Payment Scheme Rules governing the use of trademarks.

Economic responsibility for the misuse of cards or errors in Transaction validation shall be determined considering the authentication method used (e.g., chip, PIN, biometrics, etc.), with PagSeguro being responsible for errors attributable to failures in its system or in authorization processes under its control, and the Merchant for those arising from its actions or failure to comply with the required security measures.

Only upon receipt of a subsequent payment communication from PagSeguro, the Merchant shall reactivate that End User's credit. PagSeguro shall identify the necessary Transaction details and provide them to the Merchant for the Merchant to perform its obligations under this Clause 9.
9.10. PagSeguro shall, whenever possible, receive the same level of prominence, treatment, and logo placement as the most prominent payment options offered by the Merchant, both upon the launch of PagSeguro and throughout the period in which the Products remain commercially available and integrated with the Digital Payment System.

9.11. PagSeguro will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Digital Payment System is free from material defects and available to End Users and Merchants at all times, with a Monthly Uptime Percentage (as defined below) of at least ninety-nine point five percent (99.5%), except regarding scheduled maintenance or upgrades to the network, hardware or service (“Scheduled Maintenance”). PagSeguro will monitor the availability of the Digital Payment System 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. For these purposes:
9.11.1. “Monthly Uptime Percentage” means the total number of minutes in the applicable calendar month less the number of minutes of Downtime (as defined below), divided by the total number of minutes in that calendar month.
“Downtime” means the period in which the PagSeguro Digital Payment System is unavailable to all End Users for reasons other than Scheduled Maintenance, or due to connectivity failures outside of PagSeguro's network, as well as problems with third parties.
9.12. In addition to providing the Services subject to this Agreement, PagSeguro shall be responsible for providing End Users with the necessary support in relation to the Digital Payment System. For this purpose, Merchant shall reply all questions sent by PagSeguro by e-mail within five (5) calendar days.

PagSeguro may share the results of such investigations, audits and inspections with the relevant Payment Scheme operators and acquirers, as applicable.
9.20. The Merchant undertakes to promptly provide PagSeguro, the applicable Payment Scheme operators, the relevant acquirers and any third parties appointed by such entities, with any information that may be requested to verify compliance with the applicable Payment Scheme Rules, as well as with legal, regulatory and contractual obligations.

In the event of the creation of new taxes, or an increase in the financial burden of this Agreement due to any change in Applicable Laws, regulations or Payment Scheme related costs, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith a revision of the Fees set forth herein. If the Parties fail to reach an agreement on the revised Fees within thirty (30) Business Days, this Agreement may be automatically terminated without any charges or penalties. If the payment of PagSeguro’s Fees becomes subject to tax withholding under Applicable Law, PagSeguro shall be entitled to gross up the amount to be charged to the Merchant, so as to ensure that all amounts owed to PagSeguro under this Agreement are received in full and free of any deductions.
9.24. To the maximum extent permitted by the Applicable Law, PagSeguro reserves the right to suspend or limit the Digital Payment System or the Facilitation Services pending full payment of any outstanding claims, penalties, costs or charges by the Merchant. These actions by PagSeguro will not entitle the Merchant to claim damages or any restitution against PagSeguro.
9.25. PagSeguro shall not be liable, under any circumstances, for any misuse, fraudulent use, unauthorized use, or any other improper use of any Payment Method, including payment cards or other payment instruments, by End Users in connection with the acquisition of the Products. This includes, but is not limited to, situations where End Users use stolen, cloned, counterfeit or otherwise unauthorized cards or payment instruments. The Merchant acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for verifying the legitimacy of Transactions and the identity of End Users, and for implementing appropriate measures to prevent fraudulent or unauthorized Transactions.
