MEMBERSHIP AGREEMENT
We understand that Visa U.S.A. Inc. is a nonstock, membership corporation
organized under the laws of Delaware for the purpose of administering uniformly
through its members, bank card and traveler cheque programs utilizing the
service marks "Bands Design", "Visa", and/or such other service marks as may
from time to time be adopted by the corporation ("Corporation's Payment
Services"). We desire to participate in the Corporation's Payment Services in
the category(ies) elected in the appropriate Addendum(s), attached to this
application or submitted in the future, which upon acceptance by the corporation
shall become a part of this agreement, and hereby make application to Visa
U.S.A. for such authority. We have received a copy of the Visa U.S.A. By-Laws
and we understand the prerequisites for membership and the rights, duties,
obligations and responsibilities of members as therein stated; and we agree to
comply in all respects with such By-Laws as they may be amended from time to
time.
We understand and agree that, should we elect at any time to perform
functions other than those elected in the attached Addendum(s) and/or in our
application materials, we will give the corporation prior written notice and
will not commence performance of such other functions until we submit the
appropriate Addendum(s) and have received the corporation's prior written
consent thereto.
We enclose an estimated program plan or registration confirmation as
appropriate, the appropriate Addendum(s), and all other information and
documents, including a current financial statement if requested, the contents of
which we warrant to be true and correct. We understand that authority to perform
the functions elected will become effective only upon acceptance of this
application and the appropriate Addendum(s), and we agree, upon acceptance, to
be bound by and perform all requirements of membership as stated in the present
By-Laws and Operating Regulations of Visa U.S.A. and may future amendments, and
authorize Visa to collect appropriate membership fees for our organization
through the VisaNet system in accordance with the Operating Regulations.
We hereby warrant that the information provided in this application is
true and correct. We agree that failure to disclose information pertinent to
this application for membership in Visa U.S.A., or willful misrepresentation of
any such information shall be a basis for termination of membership. Should
circumstances change that would affect our membership eligibility, as specified
in the Visa U.S.A. By-Laws, we agree to immediately notify Visa U.S.A., in
writing, and understand that failure to do so may be grounds for termination. We
also agree to provide such other notifications as may be required by the Visa
U.S.A. By-Laws.
If any category in which we have elected to participate requires the
sponsorship of another member, and such sponsorship is terminated, we will
immediately notify Visa U.S.A., in writing, addressed to its head office. Any
notice or other correspondence to be sent to us by Visa U.S.A. may be sent to
our address as shown herein.
We certify that we meet all requirements for membership, are fully
