IT IS UNDERSTOOD THAT:
Schedule 1 (Definitions) to this Agreement includes certain defined terms used throughout this Agreement.
1.1.Scope. PayPal has developed a program for its partners to integrate the PayPal Services into the Partner Product, introduce the PayPal Services to its merchants, and refer merchants to PayPal (the “Program”). All Partner Users who are onboarded as PayPal Users through the Program shall enter into a payment processing agreement directly with PayPal, and the Parties acknowledge and agree that Partner is not engaged in, and will not engage in, the processing of payments pursuant to this Agreement or the Program.
1.2. Requirements for participation. PayPal may change the Program at any time upon thirty (30) days’ notice unless such changes are required sooner by a court, regulator, or legal requirement, in which case, PayPal shall notify Partner as soon as reasonably practicable. By continuing to participate in the Program after receiving such notice, Partner agrees to abide by and be bound by any such revisions or changes.
2.1. Partner Development. Partner shall integrate the PayPal Services into the Partner Product in accordance with the integration requirements provided by PayPal, as modified or updated by PayPal from time to time (the “Integration Requirements”).
2.2. Integration Approval. PayPal, in its sole discretion, may test and approve whether Partner has satisfied the Integration Requirements in order to determine whether to grant the Integration Approval. Partner shall be responsible for all costs associated with Integration Approval, including any modifications to the integration of the PayPal Services into the Partner Product necessary to meet the Integration Requirements. For the avoidance of doubt, PayPal is not responsible for any costs of integrating the PayPal Services for any Partner Users.
2.3. Partner Marketing. In marketing the PayPal Services, Partner will: (a) ensure that all Partner Products shall offer the PayPal Services as the primary payment platform for its customers (b) portray the PayPal Services accurately, and (c) strictly adhere to any PayPal branding or marketing requirements or guidelines as may be communicated to Partner from time to time. Further, Partner represents and warrants that all of Partner’s marketing activities relating in any way to the PayPal Services shall comply with Applicable Laws, regulations, industry self-regulatory standards (including applicable behavioral advertising standards), and best practices.
2.4. PayPal Policies and Procedures. Partner agrees to perform all duties and obligations under this Agreement and the Program in accordance with PayPal’s policies and procedures. Partner agrees to act in good faith and to not engage, and shall, to the extent applicable, ensure each subcontractor will not engage, in any unfair, deceptive or abusive acts and practices in the course of its provision of products or performance of services and duties under the Program and this Agreement.
2.5. Presentation of PayPal’s Services. Partner agrees that:
(a) as it pertains to the PayPal Branded Products, it shall ensure that such products are treated as a payment method with a level of prominence that is greater than any other payment method offered or supported: (a) in the Partner Product; (b) on the Partner’s website; (c) in all Partner advertising and promotional materials; and (d) in other Partner publications. For clarification, Partner shall place PayPal logos and selection buttons in a manner that ensures their prominence over all other alternate method(s) of payment.
(b) in representations to its merchants or in public communications, it will not mischaracterize any PayPal service as a payment method or exhibit a preference for other payment methods over any PayPal service. Partner agrees not to try to dissuade or inhibit its merchants from using PayPal or encourage the customer to use an alternate payment method instead of the PayPal services.
2.6. Customer Support. Partner will be responsible for all customer service relating to the Partner Product. Partner will refer inquiries relating to the PayPal Services to PayPal’s customer service.
2.7. No Incentives or Surcharges. Other than in the Netherlands or Australia, Partner shall ensure that there are no direct or indirect incentives including, but not limited to, surcharges that may have the effect of inhibiting the selection of PayPal Services or encouraging the use of any alternative payment method. With respect to Australia, the Partner agrees that it will not impose a surcharge or any other fee for enabling PayPal as a payment method, that exceeds the amount a merchant pays PayPal for that transaction or as otherwise required by law, including but not limited to, for Australia, any regulations published by the Reserve Bank of Australia from time to time.]
2.8. Disclosure about PayPal Services in Australia. When referring the PayPal Services to the merchants in Australia, the Partner must always: (a) inform them that only PayPal Australia Pty Ltd (“PayPal Australia”) is able to provide the PayPal Services in Australia; (b) provide them with relevant information about how they may contact PayPal; and (c) advise them that the Partner is not an agent, or representative of PayPal, or PayPal Australia. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Partner is not an employee, agent, representative or Authorized Representative of PayPal or PayPal Australia, and the Partner must not provide financial services of any kind on behalf of PayPal, or PayPal Australia that would require the Partner to hold an Australian Financial Services License, or be an Authorized Representative in respect of the PayPal Services. “Australian Financial Services Licence” has the meaning set out in the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) in Australia. “Authorized Representative” has the meaning given to that term in the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) in Australia.
3.1. Integration. PayPal shall provide the Integration Requirements, and access to PayPal technology and documentation, which may be revised by PayPal from time to time.
3.2. Partner Support. PayPal shall respond to Partner’s inquiries in the same manner in which PayPal responds to all similarly situated partners. PayPal will be responsible for all customer service relating to the PayPal Services. PayPal will refer inquiries relating to the Partner Product and Partner’s website to Partner’s customer service.

Any such use shall be in accordance with the other Party’s standard Mark guidelines and this Agreement. A Party shall be entitled to request removal of any use of its Marks if, in its reasonable discretion, the use by the other Party of the Marks tarnishes, blurs, or dilutes the Marks or misappropriates the associated goodwill and such problem is not cured within five (5) business days of the using Party’s receipt of notice of the problem.
4.2. Company Technology and APIs.

Additionally, Partner represents and warrants that Partner has acknowledged and agreed to the terms and conditions of the PayPal Developer Agreement which govern the use and implementation of PayPal APIs (the “API License”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, PayPal shall use reasonable efforts to notify Partner of suspension of the PayPal Services, except that such notice shall not be required where, in the reasonable opinion of PayPal, such notice would compromise the security of PayPal’s systems or performance of the PayPal Services.
(d)As between PayPal and Partner, PayPal retains all right, title and interest in and to the PayPal Services, Company Technology, and all intellectual property rights therein.
