EBANX, at its sole discretion, may place a Reserve on funds held in your Business Account when EBANX believes there may be a high level of risk associated with it, regarding high rates of chargebacks, refunds, customer complaints, negative media, and associated reputational risk. If EBANX places a Reserve on funds in your Business Account, it will be displayed as “pending” in your Business Account and EBANX may hold your funds for up to 180 days in order to verify any possible liability, in case any liability is suffered by EBANX on your behalf we may deduct the liability amount from your Reserve. If your Business Account is subject to a Reserve, EBANX will send you a previous notification specifying terms thereof. EBANX may change the terms of the Reserve at any time by sending you a notification of the new terms.

After the 180 days period of fixed Reserve, if your Chargeback rate does not increase over 1% no additional reserve of funds will be held at that moment. However, this fixed Reserve or placement of it after the 180 days period does not preempt EBANX to change the reserve percentage under the terms of this agreement.

The Merchant authorizes EBANX to deduct the Service Fees from the Settlements, according to the Pricing established on Clause 14. Any changes to the Service Fees shall be agreed in writing and signed by both parties.

7.6. Payment in Installments and Anticipation Services in Brazil

EBANX may provide you Anticipation Services. In this case the fees regarding Anticipation Services are subject to bank loan interest rates and the applicable fees, therefore established by the market and dependent on it.
