Subject to the terms and conditions of this Addendum and the Agreement, DebtBook hereby grants to Customer (i) a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access the features and functions of the EFT Services during the Term, solely by Authorized Personnel and solely as contemplated in this Addendum.

2.6 Scope of the EFT Services.  In respect of the Electronic File Transfer (EFT) Services, the Customer shall ensure that DebtBook is provided with the receipt of payment instructions and/or other messages, which are authorised by respective staff of the Customer as agreed between the parties. The Customer mandates DebtBook with the processing and forwarding of payment instructions and/or other messages to banks designated by the Customer in the respective payment and/or other messages. The receiving bank will then execute the respective payment to the debit of the account designated in the payment instruction and/or executes the instruction or order communicated in the respective transmitted message in accordance with the terms and conditions of the underlying agreement between the bank and the Customer. The processing and forwarding of payment instructions or messages includes but is not limited to the verification, the validation, the regulative controlling, the formatting and the encrypting of the payment instruction or message. Within the scope of the EFT Service, DebtBook will accept the payment instructions in the preferred format agreed with the Customer and will, following appropriate verification and formatting, automatically forward them to Licensor, who will in turn forward them to the designated bank in the preferred and agreed form with the bank. The form agreed with such bank shall include the format of the payment instruction and/or other messages, the usage of specific transmission protocols, the method of telecommunication and the security provisions for such instruction and/or message transmission.

Payment instructions can only be forwarded to the bank designated in the respective payment instruction by the Customer if the account to which the payment instruction is to be debited has been agreed in advance in writing between the Customer and DebtBook.  For this purpose, the Customer will conclude an appropriate agreement with its bank in accordance with the rules specified by such bank. The bank will execute payment instructions forwarded by DebtBook to Licensor to the debit of the respective account and/or other instructions and orders in accordance with the rules it has agreed with the Customer. The Customer will inform DebtBook in writing of the conclusion of such respective agreements with the respective bank and of the designated bank accounts in the agreement if applicable.  In addition DebtBook will need to receive from the respective bank a written confirmation disclosing the exact formatting of the account number, the preferred format of the payment instruction and other related mandatory information such as communication protocol parameters. After receipt of such bank confirmation DebtBook will enable the respective account in the EFT System for the forwarding of payment instructions and/or other messages received from the Customer by way of the Licensor. If the Customer works under its own Bank or Business Identifier Code (BIC) the Customer has to conclude the respective agreements with its banks. The Customer shall provide DebtBook with copies of the respective agreements, especially any information on required formats, required communication protocols, method of telecommunication and security measures.  The Customer will notify DebtBook in writing at least two [2] business days in advance of any modifications to or deletions of Customer accounts which have previously been authorized under this Agreement by the Customer with DebtBook for debiting.

2.7 Verification Service for EFT Services: Immediately following the forwarding of the payment instruction to the designated bank, an acknowledgment is generated or, should the verification process have led to a negative result and forwarding have not been possible, an appropriate notification is generated, which shall be created automatically, accessed securely and made available for download by the Customer by way of DebtBook system.  Payment instructions and/or other messages received from the Customer which are identified as duplicate due to the identical reference number, identical debit account number, identical amount and identical message type being specified, will not be forwarded to the bank. In the case of a duplicate no notification will be sent to the Customer.  The Customer will be responsible during the Working Day for the download of acknowledgements and notifications in respect of payment instruction given under the EFT Service and for checking the accuracy and completeness of the acknowledgments and/or notifications. Any discrepancies which the Customer identified in an acknowledgment or notification must be reported to DebtBook without delay. If the Customer fails to check the acknowledgments and/or notifications from DebtBook or to notify DebtBook without delay of any discrepancies found, the forwarding and/or processing performed by DebtBook and Licensor in relation to the payment instruction will be deemed to have been approved by the Customer.  The Customer shall check with the Customer’s bank that the Customer’s payment instructions have been executed correctly and in compliance with the payment order within the scope of normal business activities, and shall contact the Customer’s bank immediately and inform DebtBook immediately if any discrepancies are detected between the payment order forwarded by DebtBook and the execution of the payment order by the Customer’s bank.   If the forwarding of a payment order temporarily fails, for example, due to the non-availability of the network used, a notification to this effect will be generated instead of the specified acknowledgments until network operation returns to normal, at which point the payment order will be forwarded to the Customer as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within two (2) hours of network operation resuming.

2.8 Obligations of the Customer for EFT Services. For DebtBook to process transactions, Customer (as the account holder) must mandate the bank maintaining the account(s) to accept payment instructions from DebtBook (or DebtBook designated third party). Customer agrees that it shall notify DebtBook in writing of each mandate to a bank at least four (4) business days prior to the start of transmission by such bank. Customer agrees that it will notify DebtBook in writing in the event of changes or cancellations of accounts that are to be available in the EFT Services within two (2) business days of any change.

Customer hereby authorizes DebtBook and its Licensor to provide full information to the Eligible Personnel and hereby releases DebtBook and its Licensor from any and all claims that may arise from DebtBook giving any information to such Eligible Personnel. Customer hereby warrants that it will provide current contact information of such Eligible Personnel and that it will update their contact information as necessary.

2.10 Know Your Customer Check by the Licensor. Any work performed by Licensor with regard to ARS Services and EFT Services is performed only on the basis of an agreement entered into between DebtBook and the Licensor. Any services provided by Licensor are only provided to DebtBook. DebtBook in turn provides the services in DebtBook’s own name. Therefore, Licensor shall, as permitted by mandatory law, have no liability to the Customer for any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities. Nevertheless and even though the Customer has no direct contractual relationship with the Licensor (see Section 5 below), based on the fact that DebtBook provides the ARS Services and EFT Services to the Customer, the Customer is considered as a Customer of the Licensor. Licensor does only provide its services with regard to ARS Services and EFT Services to DebtBook for the benefit of those of DebtBook customers for which the Licensor has done a Know-Your-Customer assessment and which the Licensor has pre-approved as Customer for ARS Services and EFT Services.

5.  LIMITATION OF WARRANTIES AND LIABILITY.  DEBTBOOK MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES ON BEHALF OF THE LICENSOR UNDER THIS ADDENDUM, AND CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IN ADDITION TO ANY LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SET FORTH HEREIN, THIS ADDENDUM IS SUBJECT TO ALL DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS OR LIABILITY SET FORTH IN THE AGREEMENT. The Customer has no direct contractual relationship with the Licensor regarding the provision of ARS Services and EFT Services. The Licensor provides its services to DebtBook only. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law: in no event shall Licensor its suppliers and subcontractors be liable for any direct, indirect, consequential, special, or incidental losses, claims, damages, including without limitation, damages for loss of business profits, business interruption, or other pecuniary loss or expenses, in any way arising out of or related to the Services or this Agreement, even if Licensor has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Any liability of Licensor shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be completely excluded. For sake of clarity, any interest which a Customer may be obliged to pay on monies as a result of DebtBook or its Licensor’s, its supplier’s, or its subcontractor’s negligence ("Interest") shall be considered a direct damage for purposes of this Agreement. Furthermore, neither DebtBook nor its Licensors shall have any liability for loss or damage arising as a result of (i) failure of the  communication facilities of any bank maintaining any account(s), assets or any other bank business (e.g., letter of credits, foreign exchange deals) through no fault of DebtBook or that of its Licensor, suppliers, or subcontractors; (ii) a bank failing to transmit account data or failing to transmit account data in time; or (iii) a bank failing to execute, failing to execute on time or failing to execute properly a correctly forwarded and transmitted payment instruction, order or any other transaction or notification message.

6.    OBLIGATIONS OF LICENSOR WITH REGARD TO INTERNATIONAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS

6.1    Customer acknowledges that Licensor maintains the right to suspend the processing of instructions or messages      which may breach or harm international law and regulations and initiate further investigations.

6.2    To the extent legally permitted, DebtBook will be informed by Licensor Customer Services if additional information is needed to evaluate the risk of breaching or harming legal, regulatory or internal Licensor provisions, orders by authorities or national or international sanctions that Licensor is bound to observe or if Licensor will reject the processing of a transaction due to this clause 6.

6.3    DebtBook and the Customer have the obligation to provide Licensor with additional and true information on the respective instructions or messages to evaluate if a breach or harm of international laws or regulations is possible.

6.4    In any case, Licensor keeps the right to suspend and/or reject the processing of instructions or messages if the risk of breaching or harming legal, regulatory or internal Licensor provisions, orders by authorities or national or international laws or sanctions that Licensor is bound to observe, has been identified. Licensor will not process instructions or messages with the involvement of banks, corporates or individuals or goods in conjunction with countries under any economic embargo. Licensor explicitly maintains the right to reject any data transmissions in conjunction with North Korea, Cuba, Syria, Myanmar (Burma), Sudan or Iran.
