3. Appointment and Status
3.1 Non-Exclusivity
ClicCash appoints you as a non-exclusive Merchant (and/or Agent, if applicable) to accept payments and facilitate transactions using the ClicCash platform.
3.2 Independent Contractor
You are an independent contractor. Nothing in this Agreement creates a partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship between you and ClicCash. You have no authority to bind ClicCash to any agreement or debt.
4. Merchant Obligations (Payment Acceptance)
4.1 Acceptance
You agree to accept ClicCash Digital Value as payment for goods and services at face value.
4.2 No Surcharging
You must not impose any surcharge, extra fee, or minimum spend requirement on customers choosing to pay with ClicCash unless expressly permitted by applicable law, and any such permitted surcharge is displayed clearly to the customer prior to the transaction.
4.3 Prohibited Goods
You warrant that you will not use ClicCash to accept payments for illegal goods, unlicensed gambling, adult entertainment, or any activity prohibited by the Money Laundering (Prevention) Act or ClicCash's Acceptable Use Policy.
5. Agent Obligations (Cash-In / Cash-Out)
This section applies only if you are authorized as an "Agent" to perform Cash-In/Cash-Out services.
5.1 Liquidity and Float Maintenance
Liquidity is the lifeblood of our network. You warrant that you shall maintain sufficient:
- Physical Cash to honor Consumer "Cash-Out" requests; and
- Digital Value (E-Float) to honor Consumer "Cash-In" requests.
Failure to maintain adequate liquidity (denying service to customers due to lack of funds) may result in the downgrade of your status as an agent.
5.2 Trust and Safety
You are responsible for verifying the physical presence of the Consumer before processing any Cash-In or Cash-Out transaction. Remote processing of Agent transactions is strictly prohibited.
6. Bank Settlement, Fees, and Taxes
6.1 Bank Settlement
ClicCash will settle funds from your Business Account to your designated bank account under one of the following methods, as agreed during onboarding:
- (a) On-Demand Settlement: Upon your request to initiate a bank settlement, ClicCash will process the transfer within one (1) business day of receipt of such request (T+1 of request).
- (b) Scheduled Settlement: Where you and ClicCash have agreed upon a recurring settlement frequency (e.g., daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly), settlements will be processed automatically in accordance with that agreed schedule.
All settlements are made on a Net Basis: we deduct all applicable Transaction Fees, Commissions, and taxes before transferring the remaining funds to you. For clarity, settlements are not processed automatically on every transaction; they occur only upon your request or per the pre-agreed schedule.
6.2 Fees
You agree to pay the fees set forth in the ClicCash Merchant Fee Schedule. ClicCash reserves the right to update these fees with 21 days' written notice.
6.3 Taxes
You are solely responsible for calculating, collecting, and remitting any applicable taxes (including ABST) on the sale of your goods or services. ClicCash is not a tax agent and will not withhold taxes on your behalf unless legally compelled to do so.
7. The Right of Set-Off
To protect ClicCash against financial risk, you grant us an irrevocable Right of Set-Off.
7.1 Fraud-Related Set-Off (Immediate, No Prior Notice)
If you owe ClicCash any money due to confirmed or suspected fraud, money laundering, or illegal activity, we may, without prior notice:
- Deduct the amount owed from your Business Account balance;
- Deduct the amount owed from your pending Settlements; or
- Debit any other account held by you with ClicCash.
7.2 Non-Fraud Set-Off (With Notice)
If you owe ClicCash any money due to unpaid fees, Chargebacks, erroneous credits, or regulatory fines caused by your conduct, we will provide you with forty-eight (48) hours' written notice before exercising the right to:
- Deduct the amount owed from your Business Account balance;
- Deduct the amount owed from your pending Settlements; or
- Debit any other account held by you with ClicCash.
This right exists irrespective of any other legal remedies we may have.
