Additionally, the Merchant agrees to address and resolve any disputes that may arise during this process.


2. UNDERTAKINGS OF MERCHANT

Regarding the utilization of the payment gateway facility, the Merchant agrees:

This withholding is for a duration of one hundred and twenty (120) days (referred to as the "Withholding Term") starting from the date of issuance. The withheld sums will be used to settle Chargebacks. Upon completion of the Withholding Term, and after processing any pending Chargebacks, BillPe will promptly transfer any unutilized amounts to the Merchant. The "Stipulated Percentage" represents the proportion of Chargeback Amounts in relation to the total Transaction Amounts settled during the term of this Agreement.

3.5. The Merchant acknowledges that for payments related to any order disputed by the Cardholder or any party as a transaction not authorized by the payer, non-delivery of services to the Merchant, or allegations of transactions conducted by unknown individuals disputed by the Cardholder or payer, or charges/debits resulting from alleged hacking, phishing, security/encryption breaches of the end user's Login/Password, or debit card number or PIN, and if a request for Chargeback/refund has been initiated by the Cardholder, the following shall apply: The Merchant agrees to furnish evidence of service delivery to the Cardholder and shall make necessary adjustments to the Cardholder's bill.
