Xxxxxxxx XXXXXX, acting as Chief financial Officer, duly authorized for the purposes hereof;
Hereafter referred to as "Cdiscount"
Cdiscount and Banque Casino are hereafter referred to individually as a "Party" and collectively the "Parties"
INTRODUCTION
On 30 December 2011 Cdiscount and Banque Casino concluded a commercial agreement for the development, promotion and distribution to Customers of Cdiscount, via the Cdiscount website, and any marketing or distribution channels used by Cdiscount, of financial products and services offered by Banque Casino (hereafter the Commercial Agreement).
By way of Addendum No. 1 dated 20 December 2012, Cdiscount entrusted Banque Casino with the marketing of a payment service in 4 x CB by bank card (hereafter the "4 x CB payment" service).
The Parties have stipulated the operating procedures forming the subject of the Addendum to the said service in the special conditions to Amendment No 1 dated June 28, 2013.
By way of reminder, on the day hereof, the "4 x CB payment" service is offered by Banque Casino to the Customer and made available for the settlement of orders, the total amount of which is between € 60 and € 2,600 (VAT and any shipping fees included).
Due Dates:
R1 = 1st due date=> On day of order, of 25% + "insignificant fees"
R2 = 2nd due date=> on 30th day following order, of 25%
R3 = 3rd due date=> on 60th day following order, of 25%
R4 = 4th due date=> on 90th day following order, of 25%
As at the date of signature of this Amendment, the fees charged to the consumer are of 2.28% of total order. They are deducted with rank 1.
Prior to offering "4 x CB payment", Cdiscount carries out filtering and scoring of Customers.
"4 x CB payment" is then offered to all Customers whose order amount is between € 60 and € 2,600 (VAT and shipping costs included) and whose scoring is positive.
"4 x CB payment" is not subject to the provisions of Articles L. 311-1 and following of the Consumer Code, in particular because of its duration and the insignificant fees associated with it.
The "4 x CB payment" service represents at the date of signature of this Amendment No. 3 approximately 35% of the total orders on online sales platforms operated for the Cdiscount brand (hereafter the "Cdiscount" site), it being understood that this is an average rate for the first half of 2015, which is liable to fluctuate throughout the year, and which is also likely to change from one year to another. Hereafter "Catch Rate".
Given the fundamental characteristic in relation to the growth of its business and the differentiating character of "4 x CB payment", Cdiscount would like to present this service directly to its Customers while also benefiting from funding and thus the sale of loans that it holds with its Customers to Banque Casino under the conditions stated below.
In this context, and convinced of their mutual complementarity, Cdiscount and Banque Casino have met, in order to formalize by means of Amendment No. 3 to the Commercial Agreement, the terms, including in particular, the operational and financial conditions under which Cdiscount will sell to Banque Casino the loans that holds for its Customers, in connection with the "4 x CB payment" service.
This Addendum terminates and replaces Amendment No. 2 in respect of the conditions of Article 7.1 "Duration".
1.Purpose
The purpose of this Addendum is to set the terms and conditions under which Cdiscount shall sell Banque Casino certain loans that it holds respect of its Customers as part of the "4 x CB payment" service it offers commercially.
All the provisions of the Commercial Agreement remain applicable, as well as those of Amendment No. 1 (i.e. the specific conditions related thereto), unless expressly departed from in writing in this Amendment.
2.OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION OF THE 4 X PAYMENT SERVICE
2.1. Service Description of "CB x 4 payment" service (Customer Vision)
2.1.1. Marketing of "4xCB Payment" Service by Cdiscount
From the date of entry into effect of this Amendment the "4xCB Payment" service will be operated by Cdiscount in relation to "double acceptance" and "single acceptance" loans (definitions - 2.2.1).
At the time of order placement, Cdiscount shall offer to its Customers, including the Customers of its marketplace, on the Cdiscount website, where applicable, the "4xCB Payment" service operated by Cdiscount and Banque Casino.
2.1.2. Maintenance of Customer routing
Maintaining the current Customer routing in terms of the placement of orders and sign-up to the "4xCB Payment" Service represents a major challenge for Cdiscount. Indeed, the Customer routing can have a significant impact on the rate of firm order placement by the Customer. Therefore, it is agreed between the parties that the Customer routing existing at the date of this Addendum may be changed by Cdiscount and in general may only be changed by Cdiscount. Despite this, Banque Casino has informed Cdiscount that a certain number of items of information are essential to it. Therefore, Cdiscount undertakes to be in a position to provide the information below to Banque Casino
Name
First name
Address
Sex / Title
Phone number
E-mail address
Date, name and department of birth - optional data
2.1.2. Loans capable of definitive, irrevocable sale and process
At the time of order placement, Cdiscount offers some of its Customers multiple payment methods, including the "4xCB Payment" service.
The loans capable of being sold to Banque Casino are those from the "4xCB Payment" service relating to orders whose total amount is between € 60 and € 2,600 (VAT and shipping costs included) (hereafter the "Eligibility Range). Cdiscount is free:
to modify the floor or the ceiling of the Eligibility Range within the 60 euros - 2600 euro bracket,
to lower the floor of the Eligibility Range from 60 to 30 euros under the conditions defined in the "Monitoring" section. Both the lowering of the floor of the Eligibility Range below 30 euros and increase of the ceiling beyond 2600 euros may only be effected by agreement between the Parties.
In the particular case where Cdiscount offers the "4xCB Payment" Service outside the Eligibility Range and Banque Casino does not wish to meet this demand, Cdiscount shall offer the "4xCB Payment" Service directly (under a contract separate from this Addendum and concluded directly between Cdiscount and the consumer), or shall resort to any third party of their choice (as part of a contract separate from this Addendum and concluded directly between the Cdiscount and the third party considered and in accordance with the provisions of the Commercial Agreement), and is not permitted to sell to Banque Casino the loans concerned
Prior to offering "4 x CB payment", Cdiscount shall carry out filtering and scoring of Customers.
The "4xCB Payment" service shall be expressly presented to the Customer as a service provided by Cdiscount.
The General Conditions of Sale of the "4xCB Payment" service are distinct from the General Conditions of Sale of Cdiscount and shall contain a specific clause providing for the right to sell to Banque Casino the loans relating thereto.
These shall be brought to the attention of the Customer upstream of approval of the Customer's order. The Customer who elects to sign up for this service must approve the general conditions of for the "4xCB Payment" Service at the time of selecting the method of payment and again at the time of confirming the order and bank details (double click).
The Customer who elects to sign up for this service must meet or implement in relation to Cdiscount:
- The first payment deadline "R1" D-day of placing the order on the Cdiscount website;
- Then "R2", "R3," and "R4", respectively D+30, D+60 and D+90 hereafter "the Loans"
2.2. Description of "4xCB Payment" Service (BCA-CD vision)
2.2.1. Process Description
a) |
Cdiscount carries out an initial filtering of Customers in accordance with the rules contained in the special conditions of this Amendment. |
b) |
For Customers eligible for this initial filter, Cdiscount will then carry out a scoring of its Customers. |
This scoring, which by its very nature can evolve, leaving Cdiscount with the option of either increasing or altering the score, will be implemented by Cdiscount using computerized tools that give a xxxx to the Customer based on certain criteria, such as:
Age of customer
Average unemployment rate of Customer's residential area
Average homeowner rate of Customer's residential area
Seniority of Customer (how many years with bank),
Amount in cart and its contents
These ratings are expressed quantitatively.
c) |
For Customers whose scoring is positive, Cdiscount then seeks a second scoring with Banque Casino. |
d) |
This second scoring is carried out by Banque Casino. |
e) |
The combination of both scoring procedures classifies Customers into three categories (as defined in the special conditions of this Addendum) |
- a first category corresponding to loans refused
- a second category for loans under an agreement with Cdiscount and a refusal by Banque Casino called "single acceptance of loans";
- a third category for loans under an agreement with Cdiscount and an agreement with Banque Casino called "double acceptance of loans".
f) |
Since Cdiscount wishes to sell its loans, Cdiscount promises to effect to Banque Casino the final and irrevocable sale of loans held by Cdiscount on its Customers, provided the Customer has been subjected to an initial positive scoring by Cdiscount for loans of simple acceptance and a second positive scoring by Banque Casino i.e. on day D of placement by the Customer of its order, for double acceptance loans. |
Banque Casino agrees to accept definitively and irrevocably these loans up 10% in total amount of loans sold in relation to single acceptance of loans.
AMENDMENT No 3
to Commercial Agreement of 20 December 2012
regarding "4xCB Payment" Service
If this limit is exceeded, the Parties agree to meet as a Steering Committee to discuss and fix the financial terms applicable to the sale of those loans that exceed the 10% ceiling.
The rules for filtering and scoring are shown in the special conditions of this Amendment.
The Parties may amend the rules for this article 2.1.2 by agreement at the time of the “4 x CB” Steering Committee meeting, whereby this must be formalized by way of written agreement.
g) |
On the day D that the Customer places the order, Cdiscount shall collect "R1" and sell to Banque Casino the loan consisting of "R2", "R3" and "R4". |
h) |
The Parties agree that the sale price for the loans (the "Price") equals the expected amount of the loan, discounted by "x." The discount rate "x" is attached as of the present day to 4.77% of the amount of the loan for double acceptance loans and 12.10% for single acceptance loans. |
The discount rate includes 0.25% of the loan under an exceptional and specific risk that would be caused by Cdiscount due to a particular, significant failure of its process, filtering rules or score, which Cdiscount conducts in relation to the eligible loans (particularly eligible loans below the score thresholds), at the level of the loss suffered by Banque Casino within a limit of 0.25%. This advance will be refunded by Banque Casino to Cdiscount 15 months after its acquisition by Banque Casino in respect of the unused share.
Banque Casino shall pay to Cdiscount at D+1 an amount corresponding to the price.
The discount rates may be reviewed quarterly, or on an "ad hoc" basis as part of 4 x CB Steering Committee activity, as provided by Article 4 "Monitoring" below. In case of disagreement on how to revise the discount rate, either Party may enforce the provisions of Article 7 below.
i) |
Banque Casino undertakes to Cdiscount to cover excess losses beyond a preset limit (110% of the Reference Loss Rate), provided that the losses between the Reference Loss rate and the said limits are covered by the Insurance Reserve granted by Cdiscount. Consequently, any such excess losses beyond this limit will not be made to SEP. The operating conditions governing this sub-paragraph are contained in the specific conditions appended to this Amendment No. 3. |
j) |
Cdiscount shall collect the monthly payments due from Customers "R2", "R3", "R4" on behalf of Banque Casino, under a collection mandate, respectively at D+30, D+60 and D+90 (the terms of this mandate are described below). |
In the event of any payment default committed by the Customer, Cdiscount shall initiate amicable debt collection procedures in the name and on behalf of Banque Casino, under a recovery mandate (the terms of this mandate are described below);
AMENDMENT No 3
to Commercial Agreement of 20 December 2012
regarding "4xCB Payment" Service
Cdiscount shall repay to Casino Bank by way of direct debit an amount equal to R2, R3, R4 respectively to D+31, D+ 61 and D + 91, including in the event of any payment defaults committed by the Customer.
Once one of the ranks of a given bank loan granted by Casino becomes more than 7 days overdue, Banque Casino shall refund to Cdiscount, on the first following business day, the difference corresponding to the amount actually collected by Cdiscount on all the ranks of the Banque Casino loan and the amount repaid by Cdiscount to Banque Casino in respect of that loan.
Cdiscount shall continue to remit monthly to Banque Casino all the receipts obtained through its recovery procedures.
2.2.2. Scoring
Cdiscount shall send Banque Casino at its request the data needed for a performance analysis of the score that would enable Banque Casino to check the relevance of the selection rules.
Cdiscount is not permitted to implement changes to the scoring parameters without the prior written consent of Banque Casino, as given at the meetings of the "4x CB" Steering Committee.
Cdiscount will make available to Banque Casino every week a sample of the Customers and data needed to check the scoring implementation rules.
2.2.3. Customer relationship management and litigation
Cdiscount undertakes to treat all commercial litigation (including withdrawal, non-compliance of products, after-sales service, failure to deliver) relating to the products and services it markets resulting in any loan payment default and / or repayment of a debit, in accordance with the terms of Article 11.3 of the Commercial Agreement.
Cdiscount will be responsible for managing any Customer complaints relating to the proper conclusion or performance of the General Conditions of the "4 x CB" payment service.
Given that Banque Casino is not able to detect fraudulent claims at the time of sale of the said loans by Cdiscount, Cdiscount agrees to bear the risk of any such fraudulent claims. Fraudulent loans means loans that have been the subject of a cancelled payment, in respect of the holder of the payment card used to conclude a sale on the Cdiscount website, within a maximum period of six months from the date of order placement. Banque Casino is aware that at the date of signature of this Amendment fraudulent orders represent approximately 0.25% of the volume of business done by Cdiscount.

Note: All rates are based on the amounts transferred
- |
Cdiscount pays Banque Casino, in addition to the discount, an "Insurance Reserve" for each loan sold: this amount is set aside by Banque Casino. |
- |
For a monthly generation, the Insurance Reserve is 10% of the rate of loss taken into account when setting the discount rate applied to loans (the "Reference Loss Rate"). To date, the Reference Loss Rate is 3.07% for "double acceptance loans" and 8.81% for "single acceptance loans". On this basis, the Insurance Reserve is 0.31% for the "double acceptance loans" and 0.88% for the "single acceptance loans" of the month. Changes in the Reference Loss Rate for the future generations, shall be notified to Cdiscount by Banque Casino at the "4xCB" Steering Committees meetings. |
- |
18 months after their sale, once the loans of a monthly generation are at end of life, all losses shall be recorded for accounting purposes by Banque Casino.The Actual Loss Rate is thus found on the generation concerned (the "Actual Loss Rate" = actual loss / amount transferred of the monthly generation). The Actual Loss Rate is compared to the Reference Loss Rate for the generation. |
For each generation of monthly loans:
- |
If the Actual Loss Rate is lower than the Reference Loss Rate for the monthly generation, then the Insurance Reserve will be refunded to Cdiscount in full by Banque Casino. |
AMENDMENT No 3
to Commercial Agreement of 20 December 2012
regarding "4xCB Payment" Service
- |
If the difference between the Actual Loss Rate and the Reference Loss Rate of the monthly generation is less than the Insurance Reserve, the latter will be refunded to Cdiscount by Banque Casino in the same proportion. |
- |
If the Actual Loss Rate is higher than the Reference Loss Rate increased by the Insurance Reserve of the monthly generation, then no refund of the Insurance Reserve will be made. Therefore, the balance (Actual Loss Rate - Reference Loss Rate - Insurance Reserve) will be covered by Banque Casino. |
This mechanism applies globally to all "single acceptance loans" and "double acceptance loans" (see numerical example appended hereto).
- |
Finally, the Parties agree that the Insurance Reserve will be refunded by Banque Casino to Cdiscount definitively and irrevocably at 50% after six months after the transfer of the loans, provided the Actual Loss Rate of the monthly generations to 6 months does not exceed "X" for "double acceptance loans" and "Y" for "single acceptance loans". |
At the date hereof, "X" = 3.61% and "Y" = 9.18%."X" and "Y" are the reference loss rate at 6 months. Changes in "X" and "Y" for future generations will be notified to Cdiscount by Banque Casino at the "4xCB" Steering Committees meetings.
