Blink shall use all reasonable endeavours to remedy, free of charge, any material defect in the Terminal which manifests itself during the Hire Period, provided that:

(a) the Merchant notifies Blink of any defect, using the Support Services, within five Business Days of the defect occurring or of becoming aware of the defect;

6.3 If Blink fails to remedy any material defect in the Terminal in accordance with Paragraph 6.1, Blink shall, at the Merchant's request, accept the return of part or all of the Terminal and make an appropriate reduction (at Blink’s absolute discretion) to the Hire Fees payable during the remaining term of the Hire Period.

6.5 Blink does not warrant that the use of the Terminal will be uninterrupted or error-free (including due to the dependency of the Terminal on third parties for operational use).

6.7 Blink shall use its reasonable endeavours to make the Terminal Services available; the Merchant acknowledges that the Terminal Services may not be available at certain times, including during planned and emergency maintenance (in respect of which Blink shall use its reasonable endeavours to give to the Merchant such notice as Blink is reasonably able in the circumstances).

In such a case, the Merchant will be authorised by Blink to maintain a store of Card numbers only provided that the Merchant is able to provide to Blink such information and proof of certification as Blink may request in respect of such requirements in advance of such storage;

(h) Apply adequate security measures to protect any information accessible through the Gateway. Such information is available to the Merchant for the Merchant’s internal purposes only, and the Merchant must not copy or download, or otherwise make available to any third party, any such information for any purpose; and

(i) Report to Blink any abuse of the Internet (including spam, hacking and phishing) that the Merchant considers to have taken place through the use of the Gateway Services and/or the Gateway by any person, and the Merchant must include in such report as much information as the Merchant is able to provide to Blink relating to the type of abuse that the Merchant has witnessed.

4.3 The Merchant must not in any way use the Gateway, or submit to Blink or the Gateway, anything which in any respect:

If Blink imposes restrictions on the Merchant, the Merchant must not attempt to use the Gateway Services, the Account or the Gateway under any other name or user.

4.5 Blink provides the Merchant with access to the Gateway on an “as is” basis; the Merchant is responsible for maintaining appropriate records in connection with its business activities relating to the Gateway Services. Following termination of the Gateway Services, the Merchant acknowledges that Blink will not retain or store any information relating to the Gateway Services (including Transaction data), or make such information available to the Merchant.

Fees

5.1 In consideration of the provision by Blink to the Merchant of the Gateway Services and access to the Gateway, the Merchant shall pay to Blink:

(a) the Gateway Fees on a monthly basis in advance; and

(b) the Transaction Fees on a monthly basis in arrears.

5.2 If in any month the Merchant fails to process the Minimum Volume, the Merchant shall pay the Transaction Fees to Blink as if the Minimum Volume had been achieved.

Termination

In the event that the Gateway Services are terminated for any reason, the Merchant will cease to have access to the Gateway Services, the Account and the Gateway.

Liability

7.1 Blink shall endeavour to provide the Gateway Services with 99.5% availability. This availability refers to an access point on Blink’s hosting provider's backbone network and the Gateway Services being available on the Internet at large; it does not apply to the portion of the circuit that does not transit the hosting provider's backbone network, as the Merchant is responsible for its own Internet access. The following shall not be considered a lack of availability:

(a) Scheduled service maintenance, of which Blink shall use its reasonable endeavours to give the Merchant reasonable notice to ensure minimum disruption to the Merchant. It shall be the responsibility of the Merchant to act in accordance with Blink’s reasonable instructions in such circumstances.

(b) Merchant-caused or third-party-caused outages or disruptions.

7.2 All measurements of availability are performed at five-minute intervals and measure the availability of an availability test page within the Gateway Services within 30 seconds. Availability measurement begins on the first day of the first calendar month of the Access Period. Availability measurement shall be carried out by Blink or its third-party supplier, and is based on the monthly average percentage availability, calculated at the end of each calendar month as the total actual uptime minutes divided by total possible uptime minutes in the month. Blink shall keep and shall send to the Merchant, on request, records of its availability measurement activities in respect of the Gateway Services.

7.3 In the event that Blink fails to make the Gateway Services available for 99.5% of the time within a given calendar month (with the Blink system log measurements being the conclusive record of this availability), Blink shall credit the Merchant's account by an amount calculated as the product of the total cumulative downtime (expressed as a percentage of the total possible uptime minutes in the month concerned) and the total Gateway Fees owed for that month (“Service Credit”).

7.4 Blink shall not pay a Service Credit unless the Merchant requests it by notifying Blink within 10 days of the service-affecting event(s). The maximum Service Credit allowable in a given month is limited to an amount equal to the total Gateway Fees owed by the Merchant for that month.

7.5 The Merchant acknowledges and agrees that the Service Credit shall act as the Merchant's sole and exclusive remedy in respect of, and constitutes a genuine pre-estimate of the loss or damage that the Merchant would suffer as a result of, the Gateway Services downtime.

7.6 For the purposes of Clause 9.5 of the Terms and Conditions, Blink’s total aggregate Liability arising out of or in connection with the Gateway Services shall be limited to the total amount of the Gateway Fees paid and payable, in aggregate, by the Merchant to Blink under this Agreement in the 12 months prior to the date on which the claim first arose.
