PAMS and the Acquiring Bank reserve the right at its sole discretion to refuse or decline approval of any merchant submitted by Company.
Merchant Agreement:
Merchants submitted by Company and accepted by PAMS and Acquiring Bank have a direct business relationship with PAMS and the Acquiring Bank. They are required to enter into a merchant agreement that will govern the relationship between Merchant, PAMS, and Acquiring Bank. Company covenants and agrees that it will only use approved applications, merchant agreements, advertising, marketing, promotional, and other related materials supplied by or at the direction of, or approved in writing in advance by PAMS.

Company will market the merchant services offered by PAMS at its own expense.

Merchant Account Ownership:
