CDSO12397.004CCh
In consideration of the mutual promises herein made and the mutual benefits to
be derived from this Agreement, you (referred to herein as the "Merchant",
"you", or "your") and CyberCash, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (referred to as
"CyberCash," "we," "our" or "us") agree to provide to you the CyberCash Secure
Internet Payment Service (the "Service") subject to the following terms and
conditions:
1. Secure Internet Payment Service
(a) Service Standard. CyberCash will transmit data necessary for authorizing
and executing credit card transactions, securely and accurately, between your
customers and you, and between you and your credit card processor or financial
institution. In the event of an interruption of the Service, CyberCash shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to restore the Service to the extent that
the cause of such failure is within CyberCash's reasonable control.
(b) Conditions of Use. To use the Service for sales transactions, (i) you must
have established a relationship with a bank or processor that has an agreement
with CyberCash to accept Service transactions; (ii) you must have either agreed
to the terms of the license for use of the CyberCash Merchant Payment Software
(the "Software") and have installed such Software on your Internet World Wide
Web server (or equivalent on a private network), or have an agreement with a
third party to host the Software for you; (iii) CyberCash must have received
from your processor or bank your Merchant and Terminal ID numbers; and (iv) you
must comply with operating procedures issued from time to time by CyberCash.
(c) Billing Rights Information. Use and acceptance of credit cards is governed
by the financial institutions which issue them and provide credit card services
to merchants. CyberCash is not a financial institution, and only provides
transport and communications services. You agree to address questions about
your credit card transactions to your financial institution, and not to
CyberCash.
(d) Transaction Data. You agree that CyberCash may provide, or assist in
providing transaction data to financial institutions and credit card processors
for the purpose of processing credit card transactions and resolving disputes,
or upon order of a government agency. Protection of transaction data stored on
your server or server of your host is your responsibility.
(e) Graphical Displays. CyberCash agrees to acknowledge on its Web site that
you are a user of the Service. You agree to acknowledge on your Web site that
you are using the Service. In addition, if at any time you elect to receive
credit card transactions from customer software that uses CyberCash's
transaction protocols (sometimes referred to as an electronic wallet), you
agree that on the Web page on which customers are asked to select a payment
option you will at all times display a CyberCash "pay button" in the form of a
HyperText Markup Language ("HTML") anchor reference (or such other technology
as selected by CyberCash). The form of the logo and one or more pay

Service in accordance with the standard described in Section 1(a), you may take
either or both of the following actions:

provided in accordance with Section 4 hereof and to include a concise statement

claim for any direct damages caused by a breach by CyberCash of its obligations
under this Agreement.
(b) Infringement Claims. You rights and remedies for claims based on
infringement are provided in Section 6.
(c) Limitations
(i)CyberCash is not responsible for the actions of any bank or other financial
institution in authorizing, refusing to authorize or otherwise responding to an
authorization request transmitted by the CyberCash service. You waive any claim

contribution or the like arising from the foregoing so long as CyberCash
securely and accurately transmits credit card transaction data and responses to
transaction authorization requests.
(ii) CyberCash is not liable for carrying out any instruction which originated
from your server, the server of a host selected by you, or the server of a
financial institution, credit card processor, or other third party to whom you
provide information regarding your credit card transactions.
(iii) CyberCash will not be liable for (A) any failure or delay in performing
its obligations if such failure or delay is caused by your act or omission or
under circumstances where CyberCash reasonably believed that its failure or
delay was necessary to avoid violating a law, guideline, rule or regulation of
any governmental authority or (B) any delay caused by circumstances beyond the
reasonable control of CyberCash.

SERVICE, OR LOSS OF DATA, EVEN IF CYBERCASH HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. CyberCash's liability to you for actual damages
from any cause whatsoever, regardless of the form of the action (whether
contract, tort, negligence or otherwise) will be LIMITED TO $10,000, provided
that such limitation shall not apply to any indemnity or covenant defend
expressly provided in this AgreemeNt. You further agree to waive any claim to
seek punitive or exemplary damages from CyberCash, regardless of the cause.

such infringement charge would have been avoided in the absence of such
