PCI Compliance, PCI/SafeT Program Fees. All companies, regardless of Transaction volume, must comply with the requirements of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (“PCI DSS”). Elavon’s
monthly (PCI/Safe-T) Program Standard Fee is disclosed in the Fee section of this Application. For clarity, if Company has selected a Safe-T solution, the fee for PCI DSS compliance is included within
the (PCI/Safe-T) Program Standard Fee. For sixty (60) days following account approval, Company will be charged the (PCI/SafeT) Program Discounted Fee disclosed in the Fee section of this Application.
If Company validates its initial PCI DSS compliance within sixty (60) days after account approval, it will continue to be eligible for the (PCI/SafeT) Program Discounted Fee for the 12 months starting
with the month in which it provides validation (e.g., if Company validates compliance in March, it will pay the discounted fee from March through February of the following year). If Company does not
validate its initial PCI DSS Compliance within sixty (60) days following account approval, then Company will be required to pay the full, undiscounted (PCI/SafeT) Program Standard Fee until Company
validates its annual PCI DSS compliance.
For any time after the sixty (60) days following account approval, if Company validates PCI DSS by the 25th day of a month, Company will be eligible for the (PCI/SafeT) Program Discounted Fee for the
12 months starting with the month of validation (e.g., if Company validates compliance by the 25th of March, it will pay the discounted fee from March through February of the following year).
Following the end of each annual PCI DSS compliance validation period, Company will have to the 25th of the following month to validate compliance or Company will be required to pay the full,
undiscounted monthly (PCI/SafeT) Program Standard Fee until Company again validates compliance.
