employees or agents or the Equipment under their control.

Schedule 2
MERCHANT DEBIT CARD ADJUSTMENT PROCESSING PROCEDURES
The Merchant debit Card adjustment processing procedures set forth in this Schedule 2, as may be amended or supplemented by FDMS from time to time (“Adjustment Procedures”), are intended to clarify the obligations of FDMS and Concord in processing, and of Customer and Customer’s Merchants in submitting and processing, adjustments (including Customer or Merchant initiated chargebacks, representments and other comparable error resolution processes) arising from Buypass Transactions processed by Concord under this Section IV, through Networks (“Adjustments”). The Adjustment Procedures contain deadlines for completion of Adjustment processing tasks. Failure to timely process Adjustments may affect the fees and charges incurred by Customer or a Merchant for Adjustments and may result in the loss of substantive Adjustment rights. Customer acknowledges and agrees to the following terms and conditions under which Adjustments will be processed.
FEES FOR ADJUSTMENTS
For each debit Adjustment initiated by Customer or its Merchants, Customer will pay the Debit Adjustment Fee set forth in Schedule 2 to this Section IV and all related Network fees.
TIMING OF ADJUSTMENTS; CONSEQUENCES OF DELAY
Each Network has a deadline after which (a) higher Adjustment fees may be incurred or (b) Adjustments will no longer be accepted for processing. Adjustments must be provided to Concord by Customer (or its Merchants) at least seven (7) Business Days before the applicable Network deadline (“Concord Deadline”) on the correct Concord adjustment form with all fields on this form completed correctly. If Customer (or its Merchants) completes any field on a Concord adjustment form incorrectly, the form will be returned to Customer and Customer (or its Merchant) must correctly complete and resubmit the form to Concord before the Concord Deadline. Concord will not be responsible for any Adjustment that is not provided to Concord in the correct format before the Concord Deadline and any increase in Network fees associated with such Adjustment regardless of the original reason for the Adjustment.
The Adjustment Procedures are based on Network requirements for Adjustments and therefore subject to change if these requirements change. All time frames for Adjustments are measured from, and include, the date the transaction is initiated at the point of sale, unless otherwise indicated. If Customer participates in more than one Network, Customer and its Merchants should consider processing all Adjustments in accordance with the shortest applicable deadline imposed by these Networks in order to ensure compliance with all Network deadlines. In no event, shall Concord be responsible for any increase in Adjustment costs, related Network fees or the loss of any of Customer’s or a Merchant’s substantive adjustment rights if Customer fails to comply with the Concord Deadline.
