(b)         Breach. If (i) either Party commits a material breach of the terms of this Agreement, (ii) Client breaches the Visa Rules, or (iii) Client fails to comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards, the non-breaching Party may terminate this Agreement by giving the breaching Party at least 30 calendar days’ written notice prior to the effective date of termination; provided, however, that any such notice will not result in termination if the breaching Party cures such breach before such period elapses.

(c)         Termination for Convenience.  Either Party may terminate this Agreement at any time and for no reason and without liability, by providing 90 calendar days’ prior written notice of termination to the other Party.

(d)         Change of Control.  If Client, or an entity directly or indirectly controlling Client, comes under the control of, or is acquired by, a third party, then Visa may, without liability, terminate this Agreement immediately by providing written notice to Client.  Client shall give written notice to Visa promptly of the execution of an agreement that may result in such a Change of Control or acquisition.

  

  

(e)        Termination for Insolvency.  A Party may terminate this Agreement if it reasonably determines that the other Party is insolvent, has failed generally to pay its debts as they become due (unless such debts are subject to a good-faith dispute as to liability or amount), or is unable to meet its obligations under this Agreement due to financial distress, whether or not a petition for bankruptcy is filed or a receiver is appointed.

(f)         No Surcharging. If any Merchant assesses any surcharge or checkout fee on any Visa transaction for which Visa is offering the Incentives, Visa may terminate this Agreement immediately by providing written notice to Client.

(g)        Effect of Termination.  All obligations and rights under this Agreement will cease immediately and automatically upon its expiration or termination.  Any provision that by its terms expressly survives or needs to survive to give effect to its purpose will also survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may disclose this Agreement pursuant to a Required Disclosure and may do so without prior notice to the other Party provided that this Agreement is designated as “Highly Confidential -- Outside Counsel’s Eyes Only” under each applicable protective order or confidentiality agreement or is otherwise protected from disclosure to third parties by operation of law. Promptly upon the written request of the Discloser, the Recipient shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, return to the Discloser or destroy Confidential Information.  If the Recipient or its Representatives destroy Confidential Information, the Recipient shall certify that it has done so in writing and promptly deliver such certificate to the Discloser. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means any information or data, oral or written, identified as confidential by the Discloser or that the Recipient should reasonably be understood to be confidential,

Section 3.12   Complete Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire final agreement and understanding between Visa and Client with respect to their rights and obligations set forth herein, and there are no other agreements, representations, warranties or understandings between Visa and Client with respect to such subject matter.  To the extent that any other agreement, written or verbal, exists or appears to exist between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, this Agreement supersedes any such agreement.  All schedules and appendices attached hereto or referred to herein are hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement.  This Agreement has been fully reviewed and negotiated by the Parties and their respective counsel.

Section 3.13   Force Majeure.  Neither Party will be liable to the other Party for any loss, damage, cost, delay, or failure to perform in whole or in part resulting from causes beyond such Party’s control, including but not limited to fires, floods, storms, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, or other severe weather or climatic conditions; act of a public enemy, war, or terrorist attack, blockade, strikes, insurrections, riots, or requirements of any governmental authority.

Section 3.14   Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.  If the determination of such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability has a significant effect, in the reasonable judgment of the affected Party (the “Affected Party”), on the financial and/or commercial position of the Affected Party, the Parties will negotiate in good faith to replace such provision with a valid, legal and enforceable provision which will, in effect, from an economic viewpoint, most nearly and fairly approach the effect of such provision. However, if the Parties cannot agree on a mutually acceptable amendment to the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision within 30 calendar days following the date the Affected Party provided written notice to the other Party of its wish to renegotiate such provision, then this Agreement will terminate immediately upon the expiration of such period.

Section 3.15   No Third Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement does not confer any rights or remedies upon any person or entity other than the Parties.  Only the Parties have enforceable rights and remedies under this Agreement.

Section 3.16   Modifications, Amendments and Waivers.  This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by a writing signed by both Parties.  Any waiver of the provisions of this Agreement or of a Party’s rights or remedies under this Agreement must be in writing to be effective.

 

 

The waiver by either Party of a breach of any provision contained herein shall be in writing and shall in no way be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of such provision or the waiver of the provision itself.

Section 3.17   Counterparts; Signature Dates. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, including counterparts transmitted by facsimile, each of which will be deemed an original and all of which will constitute one and the same instrument.  In the event that Client returns an executed but undated copy of this Agreement to Visa, Client agrees and authorizes Visa to insert the date of Visa’s receipt of the executed copy.

Section 3.18   No Party a Drafter; Titles and Subtitles.  No Party will be considered to be the drafter of this Agreement for purposes of any rule of interpretation or construction that might cause any provision to be construed against the drafter hereof.  The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.

Section 3.19   Taxes.  Client is responsible for any and all taxes which may be applicable to any incentives, benefits, and funding it receives pursuant to this Agreement.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement will be effective as of the Effective Date.
