G. DEFINITIONS FORMING A PART OF THIS AGREEMENT

“Applicable Law” means the laws of the Republic of the Philippines, including but not restricted to,
all laws, rules and regulations related to electronic money issuance, money remittance, mobile
payments, and all applicable anti-money laundering, anti-fraud, anti-corruption and anti-bribery
laws.

“MDR” or “Merchant Discount Rate” means a fee earned by the GXI at a specific percentage of
every transaction successfully processed by MERCHANT as specified in clause D.

“Fraud” means an intentional deception made and/or conducted by either MERCHANT, or its
agents, branches, network outlets, whether acting individually, or together, or in collusion with a
third party, for his or their personal gain, profit or some unfair or dishonest advantage, or to damage
GXI, its subsidiaries or affiliates, relating to the processing, submission of illegitimate or fictitious
transactions or abuse not consistent with the purpose for which the agreement and transactions
were intended for. Fraud also includes fraudulent activities of Customers consistent with this
definition. For purposes of this definition, MERCHANT, its agents, and Sub Merchants are
assumed to be MERCHANT’s employees, agents or Sub Merchants.

“Fraudulent Activities” means activities involving Fraudulent Transactions as defined below.

“Fraudulent Transactions” means transactions processed and/or approved fraudulently.

“Unauthorized Use of Services” means any use of the GXI provided solutions not specifically and
explicitly authorized or permitted in this Agreement and includes, but is not limited to anything not
specifically authorized by GXI, in writing.

H. PREVENTION OF FRAUDULENT ACTIVITIES

GXI requires MERCHANT to use all necessary efforts to prevent the occurrence of Fraudulent
Activities while processing transactions using the GCash Mobile Payment Solutions. GXI shall not
pay MERCHANT for any transactions caused by Fraudulent Activities or abuse or services or
features not expressly authorized by GXI under this agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, in the event that GXI becomes aware of the occurrence of Fraudulent
Activities, abuse or unauthorized use of services, GXI shall consider any payment made pursuant
to Fraudulent Activity or any suspicious transactions as excess payment. GXI shall inform
MERCHANT of the occurrence of Fraudulent Activities or unauthorized use of services and of the
amount of the excess payment, as soon as practical.

If GXI reasonably believes that it has made an excess payment to MERCHANT, then, GXI shall be
entitled to deduct the excess payment from future payments to MERCHANT. In the event that
MERCHANT disputes the existence or amount of any such excess payment, such dispute shall be
settled by the Auditor pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Agreement above.
The foregoing shall be without prejudice to the right of GXI to disconnect the Services or block
access thereto in the event it detects Fraud or Fraudulent Activity, as defined in clause 13 below,
provided that GXI has provided MERCHANT with written communication, in any form, of suspected
Fraudulent Activity prior to, or if such prior communication is not reasonably practicable,
immediately after such disconnection.

In the event that : (a) GXI (i) receives any complaint by a GCash user of any unauthorized or
erroneous activity, or (ii) detects any unusual traffic or activity from MERCHANT, a particular user,
or group of users; and (b) after investigation, reasonably determines that such unauthorized or
unusual activity was attributable to a wrongful act or negligence of MERCHANT or its agents, then
GXI shall have the right to set off against payments due to MERCHANT, any costs to GXI resulting
from such activity or traffic.

Memorandum of Agreement
Page 2 of 5
GXI’s investigation and determination as to whether such complaint or activity amounts to
Fraudulent Activity or unauthorized use of the services shall be final and conclusive. In the event
that any such unauthorized or unusual activity is not due to any wrongful act of MERCHANT, but is
reasonably determined by GXI to be due to circumstances or results that were unanticipated by
GXI and MERCHANT at the time this Agreement was executed, GXI and MERCHANT shall work
together in good faith to resolve the issue.

GXI shall be entitled to set off any sums that MERCHANT may owe GXI by virtue of this or any
other Agreement between the Parties, against any payments due to MERCHANT under this
Agreement. GXI shall notify MERCHANT of the set off at least two (2) business days prior to release
of payment. MERCHANT shall confirm or contest the existence of any existing obligation proposed
to be set off in favor of GXI within one (1) business day from receipt of the notice to set off;
otherwise, GXI shall implement the set off.

I. OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES

MERCHANT and GXI shall strictly comply with all Applicable Laws, rules and regulations relating
to its business at its respective place or site of business. Any breach of a Party’s obligations under
this clause shall be a material breach of this Agreement and shall trigger the non-breaching Party’s
rights accordingly.

MERCHANT undertakes to process and honor all successful transactions completed through
GCash Mobile Payment Solutions at all times as stipulated in this Agreement, except in
circumstances completely beyond the control of MERCHANT and which MERCHANT could not
have reasonably anticipated and resolved.

additionally ensure effective monitoring of such transactions. MERCHANT shall report in writing

support team 3, within two (2) business days.

MERCHANT shall immediately terminate all involvement in any way related to GCash and GCash
Services with identified employees, agents, partners or sub merchants who have participated or
aided in or have been involved with, or who GXI reasonably believes has been involved with
Fraudulent Activities or Fraudulent Transactions within 24 hours from receipt of such request from
GXI. MERCHANT agrees that failure to do so shall give GXI the right to unilaterally
deactivate/suspend any or all GCash services to MERCHANT.

MERCHANT commits to support any investigation of Fraud, abuse and/or potential abuse and
provide GXI with any information GXI deems necessary to progress such investigation, including
providing GXI with details of its employees, agents, or customers that MERCHANT suspects of
having committed Fraud or Fraudulent Transactions or acts.

Any violation of this clause will be considered a material breach of the Agreement and shall give
the non-breaching Party the right to terminate the Agreement forthwith. The non-breaching Party’s
right to terminate this Agreement shall be in addition to all other rights, remedies and recourse
available to it under Applicable Law.

violation of this clause. In the event that GXI chooses to impose sanctions, MERCHANT can appeal
GXI’s decision by providing relevant documents with a reasonable explanation regarding the
violation. GXI has the right to hold the balances in MERCHANT’s account up until the investigation
is final. The result of GXI’s investigation will be final and irrevocable.

K. IMPLICATION OF FRAUD

In addition to the penalties and consequences stipulated in this Agreement and Applicable Law,

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE SCAN TO PAY SERVICE

1. PRE-SERVICE

1.1 Pre-Onboarding Requirements

Notwithstanding any proposal, term sheet, or application signed by the MERCHANT, GXI reserves
the right to cancel, delay, defer, or suspend delivery of the Scan to Pay Service if the necessary
pre-onboarding requirements (as communicated to MERCHANT) are not submitted on time or as
requested. Pre-onboarding requirements include basic national and local government registrations,
basic corporate or legal documentation, and other relevant documents as may be required by GXI.
Complete list of pre-onboarding requirements as required in this provision is enumerated in ANNEX

Even if Pre-Onboarding Requirements have been provided to GXI and/or a proposal, term sheet,
or an application has been signed by MERCHANT, GXI reserves the right not to proceed with
delivering the Scan to Pay Service (or, if already rendered, terminate or suspend the Scan to Pay
Service), if, among others:
(a) it is confirmed that the MERCHANT has made a material misrepresentation or has
concealed any material information in its Pre-Onboarding Requirements or in the proposal,
term sheet, or application form; or
(b) the Site to be covered is outside of the service coverage of the telecommunication
providers (“Telco Providers”) or is otherwise unavailable due to causes not attributable to
the Telco Providers; or
(c) MERCHANT is later found to be ineligible for the Scan to Pay Service under GXI’s policies
(such as when the MERCHANT is blacklisted due to poor credit standing or has a history
of fraudulent acts or practices).

2. SCOPE OF SERVICE

2.1 SERVICE DESCRIPTION: GCash Scan to Pay Service

GXI shall provide the Scan to Pay Service by enabling GCash Scan to Pay at each of the
MERCHANT’s Scan to Pay Sites. Scan to Pay sites are stores or branches owned or operated by
MERCHANT where the Scan to Pay Service will be installed and/or deployed, as specifically listed
in ANNEX 2.

Once enabled, the MERCHANT shall be able to accept payments from customers who use the
“GCash” mobile app in their smartphones to scan the Quick Response (QR) Code assigned to the
MERCHANT and conspicuously displayed at the relevant Scan to Pay Site.

To this end, GXI shall provide MERCHANT with the following for each Scan to Pay Site:
o GCash Scan to Pay Tools
o Promotional merchandise
o Virtual GCash Wallet
o SMS (text) message or e-mail notifications for each completed transaction
o Daily/Weekly/Monthly Transaction Reports
o One-time Basic usage and troubleshooting training

GXI may modify the implementation of the Scan to Pay Service at any time, subject to timely notice
of changes to the MERCHANT.

Any feature, element, or service that is not described in or not in accordance with the Service Annex
and the relevant Service Description shall be considered unauthorized and GXI reserves the right
to immediately suspend and/or terminate the Service that is unauthorized or that contains
unauthorized features or elements. GXI shall not indemnify MERCHANT for any unauthorized
Service. In the event that any of such unauthorized feature, element or service results in any
additional costs to GXI, then GXI shall have the right to withhold the payment of funds on any or all
of MERCHANT’s transactions in an amount sufficient to offset costs and damages incurred by GXI
due to the provision of unauthorized Service or unauthorized features, elements or services up to
the amount of such costs.

2.2 GCash Scan to Pay Tools

The Scan to Pay Service shall be provided to MERCHANT through the following tools which GXI

o Mobile phone kit (phone + SIM Card) (prepaid load not included), if applicable

The Scan to Pay Keycard shall feature the QR Code unique to a specific Scan to Pay Site, the
Scan to Pay Site’s name, and the GCash logo, among others. The QR Code is the single most
important feature of the Scan to Pay Service, as it is that which is scanned by the customer to make
their payments, and it is also linked to a virtual GCash Wallet designated in the name of the Scan
to Pay Site. Multiple Scan to Pay Keycards may be issued, depending on the number of point-of-
sale (POS) terminals available in a Scan to Pay Site.

Instructional Materials shall contain detailed step-by-step instructions on how to operate the Scan
to Pay function, as well as other useful information (such as customer hotline).

If issued to MERCHANT, the mobile phone kit shall include a feature phone and a Globe or Touch
Mobile SIM card. It is issued in order for MERCHANT, in a particular Scan to Pay Site, to: (a)
receive transaction notifications in the form of SMS or text messages, and (b) call the Merchant
Hotline (only whitelisted numbers have hotline access). If no mobile phone kit is issued to
MERCHANT or to a specific Scan to Pay Site, the MERCHANT may nominate a dedicated mobile
phone that can receive the transaction notifications and call the Merchant Hotline.

2.3 Promotional Merchandise

GXI shall issue promotional merchandise (such as, but not limited to, acrylic standee, flyers, and/or
“GCash Accepted Here” door sticker or hanger) which shall feature the GCash logo and the “GCash
Accepted Here” phrase, among others, in order to convey that the MERCHANT, at a particular
Scan to Pay Site, accepts GCash as a payment option.

GXI may vary the design and execution of the promotional materials from time to time. MERCHANT
may also request for or use customized promotional materials, subject to GXI’s approval.

2.4 Virtual GCash Wallet

GXI shall issue one Virtual GCash Wallet per Scan to Pay Site. Payments made to MERCHANT in
a particular Scan to Pay Site shall automatically be credited to the corresponding Virtual GCash
Wallet, which shall then be “auto-swept” on the next banking day according to the agreed
Settlement Procedure under section 3.4 of this Annex.

2.5 Transaction Notifications and Transaction Reports

Memorandum of Agreement for GCash Services – Annex 1


Page 2 of 10
MERCHANT shall receive two kinds of reports with regard to payments received via the Scan to
Pay Service: (a) transaction notifications in the form of SMS (text) messages or e-mail messages
(upon MERCHANT’s request), which are sent real time per transaction, per Scan to Pay Site, and
(b) Transaction Reports, which are spreadsheets prepared by GXI on a daily basis and transmitted
to MERCHANT on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis, depending on the MERCHANT’s preference
(by default, Transaction Reports are generated and sent to MERCHANT daily). The transaction
notifications and transaction reports shall be considered official and final as far as GXI is concerned,
and shall be used for accounts reconciliation under section 3.4 of this Annex.

2.6 One-time basic usage and troubleshooting training; Merchant Hotline

Frontline personnel (e.g., cashier, sales representative, supervisor) at each of MERCHANT’s Scan
to Pay Sites shall receive one-time training on the use of the GCash mobile app (particularly the
use of the ‘Scan QR Code’ feature) and on basic troubleshooting.

A Merchant Hotline (2882; toll-free for Globe) shall be made available to MERCHANT, subject to
operating hours (10:00AM to 8:00PM every day). MERCHANT may also course its concerns
through the GXI Account Manager assigned to it as indicated in the Agreement.

3. STANDARD COMMERCIAL TERMS

GCash Scan to Pay Tools free of charge. In exchange, no fee, cost, or expense shall be charged
to GXI for the space used or occupied by the GCash Scan to Pay Tools.

3.2 No fee for GCash payments. No fee shall be charged to customers for their use of GCash or of the
GCash Scan to Pay feature to pay for their purchases at the Scan to Pay Sites.

3.3 Merchant Discount Rate. The Merchant Discount Rate or MDR stated in ANNEX 3 shall be

3.4 Settlement Procedure. GCash Payments made to MERCHANT for each Scan to Pay Site shall be
settled according to the following procedure:

a. GXI shall create one Virtual GCash Wallet for each of the MERCHANT’s Scan to Pay Sites,
which will correspondingly be credited each time a GCash payment is successfully processed.
The agreed MDR due to GXI, if any, as well as the applicable withholding taxes (including
value-added tax), will be withheld upon transaction processing. The TOTAL TRANSACTION
AMOUNT for each successful payment shall be the basis for the MDR. GXI shall issue official
receipts covering the MDR it collected and shall issue a withholding tax certificate on a monthly
basis.

b. GXI shall conduct an “auto-sweep” of the MERCHANT’s Virtual GCash Wallets on a daily basis.
An auto-sweep is where funds in the MERCHANT’s virtual wallets are deposited in cash to the
MERCHANT’s nominated bank account/s on the following banking day (hence, “day+1”). Auto-
sweep for transactions made on weekends or holidays shall occur on the next banking day.

Transaction Amount deducted by the Net MDR.

MERCHANT’s nominated bank account/s for purposes of the Settlement Procedure outlined

amounts swept and deposited in the MERCHANT’s designated bank account/s, among others.

Upon MERCHANT’s request, GXI shall send consolidated Daily Transaction Reports to
MERCHANT depending on MERCHANT’s indicated frequency (e.g., weekly, biweekly, or
monthly). Such consolidated Daily Transaction Reports shall be sent via e-mail to the address
indicated in the Agreement.

d. MERCHANT shall reconcile the Transaction Reports with its own sales records and shall
immediately send a written notice to GXI of any discrepancy within FIVE business days from
receipt of each Transaction Report. Absent any such notice of discrepancy, the Transaction
Reports issued by GXI, as well as GXI’s implementation of the above-outlined procedure, shall
be considered correct and final.

In case of discrepancy between GXI’s Transaction Reports and the MERCHANT’s own sales
records, GXI and MERCHANT shall attempt to reconcile such discrepancy in good faith. If an
agreeable reconciliation of records cannot be reached, then GXI and MERCHANT shall
endeavor to arrive at an amicable remedy.

e. Other reporting mechanisms apart from the Daily Transaction Reports may be made available
to MERCHANT, such “on-demand” reports accessed by sending keycodes to a designated
number.

f. GXI shall notify the MERCHANT for customer concerns which requires collection or adjustment
from MERCHANT's wallet and reversal of the amount to the customer. Merchant shall
acknowledge and sends its confirmation on the adjustment to be made from its wallet. In case,
the Merchant's wallet is insufficient or has a zero balance, the Merchant can nominate other

Five (5) days, GXI shall proceed to sending a Billing Statement in which the Merchant has the
option to pay in cash or check.

5. COMPLETION OF GCASH TRANSACTIONS; TRANSACTION REVERSALS

5.1 Completion of GCash Transactions. Each transaction successfully made using the Scan to Pay
Service shall be covered by a transaction receipt generated on the GCash mobile app and by the
SMS (text) messages (or e-mail messages, as the case may be) received by both the customer
and the MERCHANT. Independent of such transaction notifications, the MERCHANT shall release
the purchased goods and/or services and/or the corresponding official receipts to the customer
only after it is satisfied that:
a. the customer scanned the MERCHANT QR Code using the GCash mobile app;
b. the QR Code scanned is from the Scan to Pay Keycard displayed at the Scan to Pay Site;
c. the amount inputted by the customer in the GCash mobile app is correct; and
d. the transaction notifications are received by both the customer and the MERCHANT.
Unless a complaint or proper request for transaction reversal is made, GXI shall assume that all
transactions completed at the MERCHANT’s Scan to Pay Site were subjected to the performance
of all these steps, and that by its continued use of the Scan to Pay Service MERCHANT assumes
all risks that are associated with a confirmed sale obtained through a failed, erroneous, incomplete,
or fraudulent payment transaction.

5.2 Transaction Reversals. GXI shall rely on MERCHANT for the grounds and processes for handling
returns, credits, refunds, and/or purchase cancellations. Any resulting transaction reversal (i.e., re-
crediting of a user’s GCash Wallet) can only be performed by GXI if a request is made by the
concerned customer accompanied by an endorsement from the MERCHANT’s frontline personnel.
Requests for transaction reversal may be made by the concerned customer by calling the Customer
Hotline (2882) or through the MERCHANT’s frontline personnel by calling the Merchant Hotline
(2882). Detailed procedures in requesting for and effecting transaction reversals are stated in
ANNEX 4. GXI reserves the right to claim the full transaction amount from MERCHANT for
MERCHANT’s failure to provide adjustments, charges, or penalties as demanded by GXI or by
customer.

5.3 (a) As a payment option provider, GXI shall only be responsible for the Scan to Pay Service and,
to a certain extent, the GCash mobile app. Any liability arising purely from a customer’s use of the
Scan to Pay Service shall be dealt with under the GCash Terms of Service.

(b) GXI shall not be liable (and will not accept any liability) for the goods and/or services purchased
by a customer from the MERCHANT using the Scan to Pay Service. MERCHANT assumes full
responsibility for any goods and/or services purchased, returned, exchanged, or questioned by a
customer.

(c) Paragraph (b) above notwithstanding, GXI shall cooperate with MERCHANT in investigating,
reporting, and possibly prosecuting any fraudulent or deceptive scheme caused or perpetrated
using the Scan to Pay Service.

Memorandum of Agreement for GCash Services – Annex 1

5.4 (a) GXI shall compensate MERCHANT for fraudulent or erroneous transactions if it is proven, after

ANNEX 4
REVERSALS AND REFUNDS

In the unlikely event that a reversal or a refund becomes necessary, the following protocols shall be applied.

1. Reversal due to input error. Should a customer make a mistake in inputting the amount due to
the merchant, the FULL AMOUNT shall be credited back to the customer. No partial refunds will
be processed at any time for any reason. Customers will be advised to re-transact upon reversal
of the transaction.
a. The reversal should be requested by the merchant while the customer is on-site so as to
provide verification by both the customer and the merchant.
b. In the event that the reversal is requested by either the merchant or the customer while the
customer is off-site, GXI will be contact both parties via email and voice call to ensure that
both parties agree to the refund.
c. At least the transaction ID found in the SMS notification, merchant mobile number or virtual
wallet, customer mobile number, and amount shall be needed to process a reversal.
d. In the event that one party disagrees with the reversal, i.e. customer does not agree or
merchant does not agree, GXI will inform both of the same and recommend that the two
parties communicate directly. GXI will not mediate the agreement between the customer
and the merchant.
i. Should an appropriate government agency require the return of funds to the
customer, GXI will comply with all legal requirements. Merchant agrees to hold GXI
blameless and free from liability should this situation occur.
2. Reversal due to technical error. Should a transaction fail due to technical reasons, i.e. network
disconnection, device malfunction, et cetera, GXI will process the reversal of the FULL AMOUNT
back to the customer. Customers will be advised to re-transact upon reversal of the transaction.
3. Verification of identity. The merchant agrees that only specific mobile numbers and/or persons
are authorized to request and/or approve reversal and refund requests. These mobile numbers and
persons will be submitted to GXI for whitelisting. Should the merchant require modification of these
persons, they will notify GXI in writing or electronic correspondence, in a timely manner.
4. GXI will adhere when possible to the merchant’s refund policies. For example, if there are
exceptions to the refund policy, such as for intimate apparel, consumable items, deadlines for
refunds, and the like, GXI will honor the merchant’s policy.
a. The above notwithstanding, the conversation regarding what is an acceptable refund will
be between the merchant and the customer. GXI will not serve as a mediator between the
merchant and customer.
5. Due to the time-sensitive nature of these transactions and reversals, the merchant agrees that
electronic channels (SMS, email, chat applications, pictures of hard copy) are acceptable forms of
acceptance and agreement in the event of a reversal or refund request. Hardcopy is also
acceptable.
6. Service Level Agreement. GXI commits to process reversals and refunds within forty-eight (48)
banking hours of approval by both customer and merchant.
