<br />orders in all your requests for authorization and submission of charges.

<br />your Internet address.
<br />DON'TS
<br />• don't exceed the percentage of your total payment card volume for Card Not
<br />Present sales, as set out in your application.
<br />• don't submit a transaction for processing until after the goods have been shipped

<br />where the goods have been manufactured to the cardholder's specifications and
<br />the cardholder has been advised of the billing details.
<br />• don't accept card account numbers by electronic mail.
<br />• don't require a cardholder to complete a postcard or other document that displays
<br />the cardholder's account number in clear view when mailed or send any mailing to
<br />a cardholder that displays personal information in clear view.
<br />It is also recommended that, if feasible, you obtain and keep a copy on file of the
<br />cardholder's signature authorizing you to submit telephone and mail order
<br />transactions.
<br />Address Verification Service (AVS) (and other fraud mitigation tools such as Verified
<br />by
<br />Visa@, Mastercard® Secure Code, Discover Protect Buy®, American Express@
<br />SafeKey, Card Validation Codes and Card Identification) does not guarantee
<br />against chargebacks; but, if used properly, they assist you in reducing the risk of
<br />fraud by confirming whether certain elements of the billing address provided by your
<br />customer match the billing address maintained by the card issuing bank. AVS also
<br />may help you avoid incurring additional interchange expenses. AVS is a separate
<br />process from obtaining an authorization and will provide a separate response. A
<br />transaction may be authorized regardless of the AVS response. It is your
<br />responsibility to monitor the AVS responses and use the information provided to
<br />avoid accepting high-risk transactions.
<br />If a disputed charge arises for a transaction conducted over the Internet or
<br />electronically, a chargeback may be exercised for the full amount.
<br />For Discover Network transactions, please refer to Appendix 3 for the Discover
<br />Network protocol for Internet transactions.
<br />Customer - activated terminals and self-service terminals
