method accepted by IPSP. Sponsored Merchant agrees to promptly deliver to its
own Customers all products and services sold under this Agreement.
IPSP charges all credit card transactions to customers' credit cards.
2. Standard Commission.
IPSP's transaction commission is based on the Plan rate the Sponsored Merchant signed up for.
3. Implementation of the service.
Sponsored Merchant will develop and maintain Web site(s) (if applicable e-commerce services), which will advertise and describe the products services that will be charged through IPSP.

Visa's Operating Regulations for electronic commerce merchants
regarding web site requirements, cancellation policies, refund
policies, refund policy disclosure, privacy notices and jurisdiction
requirements, applicable if IPSP provides services to the Sponsored Merchant that include the acceptance of Visa credit and debit cards.
If applicable, Sponsored Merchant will design these Web sites in a manner, which
automatically refers customers to IPSP's online shopping cart(s) or IPSP's Transaction Entry Screens using the instructions provided
to Sponsored Merchant via IPSP's
Sponsored Merchant User Interface or via e-mail. After receipt of each valid customer order, IPSP will send Sponsored Merchant a Purchase Order via E-mail, and IPSP will also post the order on the User Interface screen.
Sponsored Merchant will deliver the ordered product(s) and service(s) to the
Customer, and if requested by IPSP will promptly acknowledge the shipment using e-mail or the
User Interface, whichever is applicable. Sponsored Merchant will acknowledge an
order as "Shipped" after the merchandise has already been
shipped. Sponsored Merchant agrees to deliver all merchandise to Customers
without any delay. Sponsored Merchant will not offer back ordered or

shipments made by Sponsored Merchant unless agreed in a separate written agreement.
4. Payment from IPSP to Sponsored Merchant.

will charge Customer's credit card upon the completion of the
order and pay amount minus commission and if applicable transaction

prior weekly payment period that ends on Sundays and is due 21 days
after the payment period ends. IPSP will mail or deliver in any other predetermined way payment
to the Sponsored Merchant on the due date. The payment due Sponsored Merchant is equal to
