  1. SERVICES

 

2.1         Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Merchant hereby contracts PagSeguro International, and PagSeguro International agrees, to provide the Services.

 

2.2         Whenever Merchant receives a payment request from a Payee and agrees with Payee on making the requested payment, Payee shall send a Payout request to PagSeguro International accompanied by at least following information: (i) e-mail address of Payee and (ii) amount in BRL.

 

2.3         Within one (1) day from receipt of the transfer request and the information referred to in clause 2.2 hereof, and provided that there is sufficient prefunding in the PagSeguro International Account, PagSeguro International shall transfer funds to a Payment Account of Payee with PagSeguro according to the procedures detailed in clause 2.4 below. If no active Payment Account is available in the name of Payee, PagSeguro International shall return a denial message to Merchant through the application programming interface (“API”) used for communication between the Parties.

 

2.4         PagSeguro International shall (i) transfer to PagSeguro an amount in BRL (the “Payout in BRL”) that is equivalent to the amount informed by Merchant to PagSeguro International pursuant to clause 2.2 hereof, and (ii) instruct PagSeguro to transfer such BRL amount into the Payment Account of Payee.

 

2.5         On each Business Day PagSeguro International shall provide Merchant (a) a Payout report, identifying all Payouts made on the preceding day(s) since the previous report, and (b) a balance report, stating the existing balance of the previous prefunding paid by Merchant and the deductions in USD made on the preceding day(s) since the previous report. Deductions shall represent the sum of the values of (i) the equivalent in USD (converted at the PTAX Rate) of all Payouts executed by PagSeguro International; (ii) the Fees on the Payouts executed by PagSeguro International; and (iii) the IOF and other applicable taxes related to any of the foregoing. Existing balance shall be equal to the previous prefunding paid by Merchant less previous days deductions.

 

2.5.1     Both PagSeguro International and Merchant shall monitor the balance volume to evaluate the necessity and timing for a new prefunding. Merchant shall take timely action to ensure the balance amount in USD is sufficient for making Payouts.

 

2.5.2      The equivalent value in USD (the “Value in USD”) of each Payout in BRL (the “Value in BRL”) shall be calculated according to the following formula:

 

Value in USD = Value in BRL * [(1 / PTAX Rate) * (1 + Foreign Exchange Cost)]

 

2.5.2.1  The aggregate Value in USD shall be rounded to the nearest 1/100 of USD.

 

2.5.2.2  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 BRL = 100; PTAX Rate = 5.00; Foreign Exchange Cost = 2%; Fee = 2%; IOF = 0.38%, then:

 

Value in USD = 100 * [(1 / 5.00) * 1.02] = 20.40

Fee in USD = (2% * 100) * [(1 / 5.00) * 1.02] = 0.41

IOF in USD = (0.38% * 100) * [(1 / 5.00) * 1.02] = 0.08

 

2.5.3      In case of any increase of the tax burden between the date of the prefunding and the date of the Payout (including any increase in the IOF rate applicable to international facilitator service providers), the difference will be included by PagSeguro International in future debit notes.

 

2.6         PagSeguro International shall convert into BRL the amounts of the Payouts received from Merchant, if such amounts are specified in a currency other than BRL (including but not limited to USD), through an Exchange Bank selected by PagSeguro International, for credit in an account of PagSeguro International in Brazil. The periodicity and the commercial conditions of the conversion (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the conversion rate) shall be freely negotiated between PagSeguro International and the Exchange Bank. Merchant understands and agrees that the actual rate of conversion from USD to BRL agreed with the Exchange Bank may be different from that used for calculation of the Value in USD pursuant to clause 2.5 and its subclauses above.

 

2.7         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, PagSeguro International reserves the right not to accept or execute a Payout request:

 

  1. i) if Merchant has not fulfilled any of its obligations under this Agreement, including the obligation to maintain sufficient prefunding balance;

 

  1. ii) if PagSeguro International 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;

 

iii)          upon the insolvency, liquidation, winding up, bankruptcy, general composition with creditors, receivership or dissolution of the Merchant, or where PagSeguro International reasonably considers that there is a threat of the same in relation to the Merchant;

 

  1. iv) if required to do so under relevant and applicable laws or regulation;

 

  1. v) if the requested Payout would exceed the limit of single or aggregate Payouts previously approved by PagSeguro International and informed to Merchant for the relevant period; or

 

  1. vi) if Payee does not complete the procedures to activate its Payment Account with PagSeguro or is not entitled to hold a Payment Account pursuant to applicable Brazilian laws and regulations or PagSeguro’s regulations and policies (for example, if Payee is not 18 years old or older on the date of activation of the Payment Account).

 

2.8         Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, PagSeguro International reserves the right to suspend the Services if Merchant has violated the related policies that PagSeguro International may establish from time to time.

 

2.9         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 Services hereunder, Merchant shall give preference and priority to the Services rendered by PagSeguro International. This includes placing PagSeguro International in a more visible position in the Merchant’s apps and websites.

 

  1. TERM

 

3.1         This Agreement is valid and effective from the date it is executed by the Parties in electronic or paper form and will remain in full force and effect with no final term. Either Party may terminate this Agreement at any time and without any charges or penalties, by giving at least ninety (90) days prior notice to the other Party.

 

3.2         Either Party (the “Innocent Party”) shall have the right to terminate this Agreement without giving the prior notice provided for in clause 3.1 above in case of a breach of this Agreement or applicable laws and regulations by the other Party, observing the following:

3.3         Upon termination by either Party, each respective Party shall remain liable for any and all outstanding Fees and payments due.

 

3.4         Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the following survival terms shall apply: (i) clause “Confidential Information” shall survive for five (5) years after the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason; and (ii) any other provision of this Agreement, including its policies, that due to its nature must survive shall be in full force and effect in accordance with the respective prescriptive or preclusion terms of law regarding that matter.

4.3         Except as otherwise agreed in this Agreement, each Party shall be liable for the corresponding taxes as defined by law and in the event of the creation of new taxes or the increase of the financial burden of this Agreement due to any alteration in law or regulation, or in the application of law or regulation by tax authorities, Parties shall negotiate in good faith a change in the Fee. If the Parties fail to reach a consensus on the new Fee within thirty (30) Business Days, this Agreement might be automatically terminated, without any charges or penalties. For the avoidance of doubt, Merchant shall be liable for the IOF and other taxes in connection with the Services and such taxes are not included in the Fee.

 

4.4         Any payment due under this Agreement that is made after the due date shall be increased by (i) a fine of two percent (2%) and (ii) if greater than zero, default interest at a rate corresponding to the then prevailing 6-month LIBOR for deposits in USD (or any successor rate thereof), calculated pro rata temporis.
