You must maintain and make available to Retailers a fair and neutral refund and exchange policy, and clearly explain the process by which Retailers can receive a Refund.

Without limiting the previous sentence, you must make retailer service information readily available to your Retailers, including clear instructions on how your Retailers can contact you by email and telephone.
2.30 By using Retreeb Payments Services, you request Retreeb to blend Fees for payment card processing for all merchant services charges, regardless of the underlying differences in interchange fees between different payment card brands and categories. If you have a question about Fees or wish to receive unblended rates for payment card processing, please contact us. Currently, Retreeb does not offer credit cards.
2.31 To enable Retreeb to process Transactions for you, you authorise and direct Retreeb, its Affiliates, Payment Method Providers and Payment Method Acquirers to receive and settle, as applicable, settlement funds owed to you through your use of the Retreeb Payments Services. You may only submit Transactions that Retailers authorise, and only after the applicable goods have been shipped or services provided to the Retailer; except, you may submit a Transaction before goods have been shipped or services have been provided to the Retailer where the Retailer has authorised a Transaction for a partial or full prepayment for goods or services to be provided at a future time, or you have obtained the Retailer’s consent.
You must not proceed with a Transaction if:
(a) you know or should have known that the Transaction was fraudulent, not authorised by the Retailer, or illegal in your or your Retailer’s jurisdiction;
(b) you receive a response declining to authorise the Transaction; or
(c) the Retailer’s ability to use a Payment Method has expired or is no longer valid. You must not split payment for a single transaction into multiple Transactions except as the Payment Method Rules, Payment Method Terms and Acquirer Terms expressly permit. You must not submit any Transaction that duplicates a Transaction that is subject to a Dispute, or was previously disputed and subsequently resolved in your favour. Retreeb may refuse to process, or condition or suspend any Transaction that Retreeb believes:
(x) may violate this Agreement or other agreement you have with Retreeb (if any);
(y) is unauthorised, fraudulent or illegal; or
(z) exposes, or is likely to expose, Retreeb, you or others to unacceptable risk. When submitting an authorisation request for a Transaction that will be processed using Visa Secure, you must input the Cardholder Authentication Verification Value your issuing bank or Visa provides to you.
2.32 You appoint Retreeb as your agent for the limited purpose of directing, receiving, holding and settling funds under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the prior sentence, no agency is established for tax purposes. All settlement funds Retreeb receives for Transactions are combined with settlement funds held for other Retreeb users and safeguarded as Safeguarded Funds. Once Retreeb receives settlement funds, the relevant Retailer has no further obligation to make payments to you with respect to a Transaction. Retreeb will promptly update your Retreeb Account balance to reflect processed Transactions. If, in the capacity as your agent, Retreeb provides a receipt for a Transaction to the applicable Retailer, that receipt is binding on you. Prior to transferring settlement funds to the User Bank Account, Retreeb may invest Safeguarded Funds. You have no rights to any earnings generated by Safeguarded Funds and are not entitled to draw funds from any Pooled Account.
2.33 Retreeb will transfer settlement funds for Transactions, net of Fees, Disputes, Refunds, Reversals and other amounts owed to Retreeb, from the applicable Pooled Account to the applicable User Bank Account within the time period stated in the Payout Schedule, unless a Payout Delay occurs and affects the transfer initiation, or Retreeb exercises a right under this Agreement to withhold or delay the transfer. However, Retreeb may impose an additional holding period before making the initial settlement to a User Bank Account.
2.32 Sending Funds to Third-Party Recipients. Retreeb may offer you the ability to send to a third party funds owed to you as you instruct Retreeb (including by sending all or part of the positive balance in your Retreeb Account to that third-party recipient’s Retreeb account or bank account), instead of settling funds to a User Bank Account. If Retreeb sends funds to a third-party recipient (or sends all or part of the balance in a Retreeb Account to the third-party recipient’s Retreeb account or bank account), which may include the use of a payment intermediary operating on your behalf, as you instructed, this satisfies Retreeb’s obligations (and all applicable Payment Method Provider and Payment Method Acquirer obligations) to settle funds to you.
Retreeb is not responsible for any fees imposed by banks to which Retreeb transfers funds, including the banks that hold the User Bank Accounts and the third-party recipient accounts.
2.33 Subscriptions and Invoicing. If you use the Services to submit recurring or subscription Transactions, then before submitting the initial Transaction, you must:
(a) inform each Retailer that the relevant Transactions will occur on an ongoing basis; and
(b) explain the method for cancelling the Retailer’s recurring billing or subscription. If you use the Services to issue invoices to Retailers, you must ensure that the form and content of the invoices comply with Law and are sufficient to achieve the legal or tax effects that you are trying to achieve.
2.33 Usage of the app, Third Party Software. Retreeb and Intergiro use, for the good functioning of the app, third party software that is minimized and simplified in order for the application to work proper. You aknowledge and accept the usage of said app. In particular, you aknowledge that you accept the usage of iOS Light and Chrome.

10. Additional legal terms relating to usage in France
10.1 These General Terms and Conditions for Retailers and the “Fees” Schedule form the framework contract for payment services pursuant to Article 314-12 of the French Monetary and Financial Code. Other contractual documents also frame the additional and optional services available on the Retreeb Application and are presented for signature when the user accesses or subscribes to the specific service. Additional terms apply to Businesses receiving payment from Retreeb.
10.2 By accepting these Terms and Conditions, the Retailer agrees to use the Service in accordance with its purpose and under the conditions described in these Terms and Conditions. The Retailer undertakes not to deceive Retreeb by knowingly concealing its real internet connection address (IP address, Internet Protocol), nor by intentionally modifying the associated parameters, with the aim of deliberately circumventing the articles of the present Individual Terms and Conditions, of deceiving Retreeb on its real location or of intentionally circumventing the security devices that Retreeb has put in place to fight against fraud.
10.3 The Retailer joins Retreeb for an indefinite period. Unless otherwise provided for by law, the Service may be terminated at any time and without reason. The Retailer may terminate his membership to the Platform at any time and request the closure of his Retreeb Account. If necessary, he/she must pay all the amounts due. The Retailer may request the transfer of the balance of his Platform to a bank or payment account held within the European Union. To this end, the Retailer shall contact Retreeb Support by e-mail at support@retreeb.com. An e-mail is sent to the Retailer confirming the cancellation within five working days following the receipt of the cancellation request.
10.4 The Platform operates under the sole signature of its holder or that of any proxies appointed by proxy. The death of the Retailer terminates his membership to the Service and the possible power of attorney on the Platform becomes null and void, as soon as Retreeb is informed of the death through the Client Support. The operations carried out from the Platform of the deceased after the death are, unless the rightful claimants or the notary in charge of the estate agree, considered as not having been authorised. The Platform shall be kept open for the time necessary for the settlement of the estate and Retreeb shall ensure the transfer of the balance of the Platform with the express and written agreement of the successors or the notary in charge of the estate. If within three years after the death of the Retailer , the heirs have not made themselves known and/or have not asserted their rights, the balance of the Platform of the deceased Retailer is paid to the French Caisse des dépôts et consignations.
10.5 Retreeb may terminate the access of the Retailer to the Service, free of charge for the Retailer, by simple notification by e-mail, after expiry of a two- month notice period. In accordance with the law, Retreeb is not obliged to give reasons for the decision to terminate. During the notice period, the Retailer must take the necessary steps to settle the current transactions.
However, Retreeb is exempted from the two-month notice period and may immediately close the Platform for one of the following reasons
- In case of serious misconduct of the Retailer (in particular in case of physical or verbal violence, threats or insults against a Retreeb employee) or,
- In case of refusal or lack of response from the Retailer to provide additional information on the origin of the funds on his Platform and the economic justification of his payment transactions or,
- In the event of the provision of false, inaccurate, expired, forged or stolen documents or,
- In the event of abnormal operation of the Platform or
- In the event of failure to comply with any of the obligations imposed on the Retailer by these Individual User Terms and Conditions.
In addition, in case of detection of an anomaly, an inconsistency or a report likely to be a fraud, Retreeb has the possibility to register a person on a list of persons presenting a risk of fraud. The Individual Retailer, likely to be registered on this list, may be contacted by Retreeb according to the type of suspected fraud in order to provide additional information. At the end of the investigations, a written and individual information will be sent to the Retailer, specifying the measure taken by Retreeb; he will then be given the opportunity to present his observations, without prejudice to the applicable legal provisions.
10.6 The Retailer is prohibited from using the Service to sell goods or services relating to illegal activities, contrary to public order or morality, including but not limited to activities
- directly or indirectly threatening, abusive, defamatory, discriminatory, racist, xenophobic, homophobic or otherwise injurious to the honour or reputation of others;
- degrading or offensive to human dignity
- Inciting to commit an offence, a misdemeanour, a crime or an act of terrorism or glorifying war crimes or crimes against humanity;
- Offering or proposing online gambling services not authorised by the regulations (including, where applicable, instant win services) or gambling services prohibited by the regulations, which are based on the requirement of a financial sacrifice by the player and which could lead to the belief that there is an expectation of a win of any kind;
- Allowing third parties to obtain directly or indirectly illegal substances or products;
- Subject to a particular legal regime and exercised in violation of this regime (e.g. tourist agents, medical professions, legal professions, etc.)
- Related to the acquisition, use or transfer of crypto-currencies in an unreasonable, abusive or professional manner and/or as part of an overall fraudulent transactional scheme in the absence of specific security protocols and monitoring of financial flows.
10.7 Some Professionals in partnership with Retreeb, may offer discounts and rewards to Retreeb's Individual Retailers, who can get a prorated refund on their Retreeb Platform, after a purchase made through the app. The details are offered by the related third parties.
10.8 Retreeb and its Partners are also obliged to exercise constant vigilance over the business relationship, in accordance with the applicable texts, and to examine the payment operations and transactions carried out or received by the retailer, ensuring that they are consistent with the up-to-date knowledge of the Individual Retailer. In this respect, they may have to set up monitoring systems and, in the presence of operations which appear to them to be inconsistent or suspicious, unusual or exceptional, to ask the Retailer or, where applicable, his authorised representative, about the origin or destination of the funds, the purpose and nature of the transaction or the identity of the person who benefits from it. In the absence of such information, Retreeb and its Partners reserve the right not to execute the transaction or to cancel it or to terminate the contractual relationship.
10.9 As part of its obligations to combat money laundering and the financing of terrorism, Retreeb and its partners are required to apply additional vigilance measures with regard to politically exposed persons (hereinafter referred to as "PEPs"), subject to specific regulations due to the particular risks weighing on them and/or their close relations in terms of financial support for terrorism, attempted corruption or the circulation of capital of fraudulent origin for money laundering purposes. In view of this higher risk, Retreeb and its Partners are subject, in addition to the due diligence measures provided for any client, to a reinforced control and to additional due diligence measures at the beginning of the business relationship and during the execution of the Service. Retreeb reminds that a PEP is defined under Article L. 561-10 of the French Monetary and Financial Code as: "a person who is exposed to particular risks by virtue of the political, jurisdictional or administrative functions that he/she performs or has performed or those performed by direct members of his/her family or by persons known to be closely associated with him/her, or who becomes so in the course of a business relationship". Consequently, any Retailer corresponding to this definition undertakes to perform all necessary diligence to allow Retreeb and its Partners to carry out a reinforced examination of the operations carried out on his Platform, to inform them of any exceptional operation compared to the operations usually recorded on his Platform and to provide them with any document or information required in order to allow Retreeb and its Partners to justify compliance with this specific regulation to the competent authorities. On what occasions can a Retreeb Platform be blocked? The Platform of an Retailer may also be blocked by Retreeb if the amount of his transactions, individual or cumulated, exceeds certain limits in a given time (see Appendix Tariffs and Limits). Exceeding these thresholds temporarily prevents the execution of transactions.
