Special Authorization Procedures Sample Clauses
The Special Authorization Procedures clause establishes specific processes that must be followed to obtain approval for certain actions or exceptions under the agreement. Typically, this clause outlines the steps required to request and grant special permissions, such as submitting written requests, obtaining consent from designated parties, or meeting additional criteria before proceeding. Its core practical function is to ensure that any deviations from standard procedures are properly reviewed and authorized, thereby maintaining oversight and control while allowing for flexibility when justified.
Special Authorization Procedures. The following are specific authorization procedures for certain types of merchants:
(i) mail/phone order transactions may obtain authorizations on any day up to seven (7) calendar days prior to the transaction date (shipment date is considered to be the transaction date). This authorization will be valid if the Card Item amount is within 15 percent of the authorized amount, provided that the additional amount represents only shipping costs.
(ii) restaurant authorizations are valid if the Card Item amount is plus or minus 20 percent of the authorized amount.
(iii) automated fuel dispenser transactions must obtain an authorization for the exact amount of the Card Item or use the Status Check Procedure. The Status Check Procedure requires Merchant to request an authorization for $1 and the Card Item amount to be no more than $50.
Special Authorization Procedures. When Cardmembers opt to pay for vehicle rentals (not to exceed four consecutive months) on the Card, you must obtain Authorization for the full estimated amounts of Charges by multiplying the rate by the rental period reserved by the Cardmember plus any known incidentals (Estimated Rental Charge). You must neither overestimate this amount nor include an amount for any possible damage to or theft of the vehicle. An Authorization is valid for the duration of the motor vehicle rental agreement. If you wish to accept the Card for property damage to a rented vehicle, you must sign an addendum to this Agreement governing responsibility for such damages. If you fail to obtain such Authorization for the Estimated Rental Charge and submit the Charge, and the Cardmember fails to pay the Charge for any reason, we will have Chargeback rights for the full amount of the Charge. Upon return of the vehicle: (i) if the final Charge is no greater than the Estimated Rental Charge plus 15% of the Estimated Rental Charge, no further Authorization is necessary; or (ii) if the final Charge is greater than the Estimated Rental Charge by more than 15% you must obtain Authorization for any additional amount of the Charge that is greater than the Estimated Rental Charge. If you fail to obtain such Authorization for the additional amount, or your request for such Authorization is declined, and the Cardmember fails to pay the Charge for any reason, we will have Chargeback rights for the amount of the Charge in excess of the Estimated Rental Charge for which you already obtained Authorization.
