EXHIBIT A-4(h)

 

Check Recovery Service

 

 

1.

Check Recovery Service.  CSG will provide to Customer, and Customer will purchase from CSG, the CSG Check Recovery Service.  The Check Recovery Service will facilitate the Check Recovery Vendor’s re-presentment and recovery of select Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) returns by sending select ACH returns to the Check Recovery Vendor for recovery processing.  The Check Recovery Service also receives files of unsuccessfully recovered ACH returns from Vendor and updates CCS accordingly.  CSG acknowledges and agrees that it will not initiate communication with Connected Subscribers to perform the service of Check Recovery Vendor’s re-presentment and recovery of ACH returns without Customer’s permission.  The foregoing shall not prevent CSG from having the Check Recovery Vendor perform the services provided herein.

2.

Requirements. CSG will provide integration to the Check Recovery Vendor’s platform enabling the Check Recovery Service.  Select ACH returns will be sent to Vendor for recovery processing.  The Check Recovery Service will also receive files from the Check Recovery Vendor of unsuccessfully collected ACH returns and will update CCS accordingly.  Customer shall have a separate agreement with the Check Recovery Vendor.  ********** ******** ********** ***** *** ** ****** ***** ************ **** ** ******** ** *** ***** ******** ****** ** *** **** ******** ** ********’* ********* ** **** ** *** ***** ******** ********  

3.

Implementation. CSG hereby agrees to implement the Check Recovery Service pursuant to a Statement of Work executed by both of the parties, such Statement of Work which forms an integral part of this Agreement.  In the event CSG and Customer do not enter into an implementation Statement of Work, CSG shall not be required to provide the Check Recovery Service to Customer.

4.

Use of Payment Processing Information.  Customer and CSG agree that all information and data accessed through the Check Recovery Service is “Confidential Information” and as such shall be kept strictly confidential in accordance with the Agreement.

5.

Intellectual Property.

(a) No License.  Customer will not acquire any patent rights, copyright interest, or other right, claim, or interest in the computer programs, forms, schedules, manuals, or other proprietary items utilized or provided by CSG in connection with the Check Recovery Service.

(b) Restrictions on Use.  Customer will not use or permit its respective employees, agents and subcontractors to use the trademarks, service marks, logos, names, or any other proprietary designations of CSG except in compliance with the Agreement.  For clarity, the parties acknowledge and agree the Check Recovery Vendor is not an employee or agent of Customer and this Section 5(b) shall in no way be interpreted as Customer assuming any obligation or liability for the actions of the Check Recovery Vendor.  The preceding shall not apply in the event Customer violates the terms of the Agreement and such violation results in damages caused by the Check Recovery Vendor.

6.

Limitation of Liability.  CSG SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES IN ANY ACTION, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR STRICT LIABILITY, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE CHECK RECOVERY VENDOR’S PROVISION OF THE CHECK RECOVERY SERVICES HEREUNDER, OR THE CHECK RECOVERY VENDOR’S PERFORMANCE OR FAILURE TO PERFORM ANY CHECK RECOVERY SERVICES HEREUNDER.  ALL OTHER TERMS, LIMITATIONS AND OBLIGATIONS RELATED TO THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES PROVIDED IN SECTION
