Honoring Cards. A. Without Discrimination. Merchant will accept without discrimination, all valid Cards as indicated by Merchant on the Merchant Application when properly presented by Cardholders for payment for goods or services within the Merchant’s Category (MCC) of acceptance. Merchant may not discriminate between payment Cards within a payment Card network on the basis of the Issuer that issued the presented payment Card.
Honoring Cards. Merchant will accept all valid Cards when properly presented by Cardholders in payment for goods or services, subject to applicable Card Brand rules requiring Merchant to elect whether it will accept credit only, debit only or both debit and credit Cards. Merchant’s election is set forth in the Application Form. Merchant may not establish minimum or maximum amounts for Card sales as a condition for accepting any Card. Merchant may not require any Cardholder to pay as a surcharge any part of any discount or charge imposed upon Merchant by this Agreement, whether through any increase in price or otherwise require a Cardholder to pay any charge or price as a condition of sale that is not also required from a customer paying cash. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Merchant may impose a surcharge on certain Card Transactions, but only where permitted by federal law, state law and the Card Brand rules. Merchant (and not Servicer) is solely responsible for ensuring that it is permitted by federal law, state law and the Card Brand rules to impose a surcharge. Merchant may be required to provide notification to the Card Brands if it imposes a surcharge and hereby authorizes Servicer to provide such notification and furnish any necessary documentation, on Merchant’s behalf, to the Card Brands. However, Merchant may not, by this term, be prevented from offering discounts to Cardholders for cash purchases. Merchant may not engage in a Transaction (other than a mail, internet, telephone order, or preauthorized sale to the extent permitted under this Agreement) if the person seeking to charge the purchase to his or her Card account does not present the Card to permit Merchant to compare the signature on the Card to the signature on the Sales Draft and obtain an Imprint or otherwise use the physical Card to complete the Transaction.
Honoring Cards.

Merchant may not require any Cardholder to pay as a surcharge any part of any discount or charge imposed upon Merchant by this Agreement, whether through any increase in price or otherwise require a Cardholder to pay any charge or price as a condition of sale that is not also required from a customer paying cash. However, Merchant may not, by this term, be prevented from offering discounts to Cardholders for cash purchas- es. Merchant may not engage in a Transaction (other than a mail, Internet, telephone order, or preauthorized sale to the extent permitted under this Agreement) if the person seeking to charge the purchase to his or her Card account does not present the Card to permit Merchant to compare the signature on the Card to the signature on the Sales Draft and obtain an Imprint or otherwise use the physical Card to complete the Transaction.
Honoring Cards. A. You shall honor all Cards when presented in accordance with these Rules for the purchase of goods or services or in processing a request for credit resulting from such a transaction, by an authorized holder of a Card without imposing any special conditions not required by any Rules. However, if you do not deal with the public at large (for example, if your business is a private club), you are required to honor a valid Card only if presented by a cardholder who has purchasing privileges or a membership with you. You may attempt to steer customers who initially present a Card to an alternative method of payment, such as by providing discounts for cash, but you may not do so in a confusing manner that denies consumer choice. You may also consider whether present circumstances create undue risk, for example if the sale involves high-value electronics, but the card signature panel is not signed, and the Cardholder does not have any other identification.
Honoring Cards. Merchant shall honor all valid cards when presented for payment of Debit transaction when such transactions can be initiated and completed electronically. If a technical malfunction prevents electronic initiation and completion of a transaction, Merchant is not obligated to complete such Debit transaction. Merchant shall treat transactions by any Debit Network cardholders in the same manner as transactions by any other cardholders as permitted by the Rules and law. Merchant may not require or request the cardholder's signature or any other means of verifying the cardholder's identity.
Honoring Cards. Merchant will accept all valid Cards when properly presented by Cardholders in payment for goods or services, subject to applicable Network Rules requiring Merchant to elect whether it will accept credit only, debit only or both debit and credit cards. Xxxxxxxx’s election is set forth in the Merchant Application. Except to the extent explicitly provided by the Network Rules, Merchant may not establish minimum or maximum amounts for Card sales as a condition for accepting any Card. Merchant may, subject to applicable Law and the Network Rules, (i) impose a surcharge, under certain conditions and with proper disclosure to a Cardholder who elects to use a Card in lieu of payment by cash, check or other method of payment, or (ii) offer cash discounts to Cardholders making payment by cash or check. Merchant shall not engage in any acceptance practice that discriminates against or discourages the use of a Card Network’s Cards in favor of any other Card Network’s Cards, or favor any particular Card Issuer over any other Card Issuers. Note, many states prohibit or limit cases where Merchant may surcharge a Cardholder or offer cash discounts and the Card Networks impose restrictions on surcharging and cash discounting. Therefore, Provider strongly recommends that Merchant carefully consider and comply with all applicable Law and the Network Rules before Merchant begins to surcharge Cardholders or offer any cash discount. Merchant may not engage in a Transaction (other than a mail, internet, telephone order, or preauthorized sale to the extent permitted under this Agreement) if (i) the person seeking to charge the purchase to his or her Card account does not present the Card to permit Merchant to compare the signature on the Card to the signature on the Transaction Record; or (ii) the Merchant does not obtain an Imprint or otherwise use the physical Card to complete the Transaction.
Honoring Cards. 3.1 In the case of Card Transactions transacted in U.S. dollars under the Signatory Agreement between Carrier and Member, Carrier may choose to accept (i) only the credit/business products of Visa and/or MasterCard; (ii) only the consumer debit/prepaid products of Visa and/or MasterCard; or (iii) both the credit/business products and consumer debit/prepaid products of Visa and/or MasterCard. Carrier must indicate in writing its decision to accept a limited category of products at the time of entry into this Agreement. If Carrier chooses to accept only one of the categories of products but later submits a Transaction outside of the selected category, Servicer and Member are not required to reject the Transaction and Carrier will be charged standard fees and expenses for that category of products. Further, if Carrier chooses a limited acceptance option, it must still honor all international cards presented for payment. If Carrier decides to implement a limited acceptance policy, it shall display appropriate signage to communicate that policy to Cardholders. Except as may be permitted by applicable local law and Operating Regulations, Carrier will not impose a surcharge for purchases made with the Card nor shall Carrier establish minimum or maximum transaction amounts as a condition for honoring Cards.
