and from the Effective Date if Skype have implemented and maintained the Presentation Requirements. If Skype have not implemented and maintained the Presentation Requirements, Skype agrees to pay to PayPal the fees prescribed for business accounts
in the User Agreement and the PayPal Website Payments Pro Agreement.

If Skype has not met and maintained the condition set out in 2.3(a) and has not met and maintained any or all of the conditions set out in
clause 2.3 (b), or (c), Skype agrees to pay to PayPal the fees prescribed for business accounts in the User Agreement and the PayPal Website Payments Pro Agreement.
2.4 Minimum Volume
|

Skype agrees to notify PayPal in writing when it has met the Minimum Volume, including evidence of the same (“Minimum Volume Notice”).
Upon receipt of the Minimum Volume Notice, PayPal will notify Skype within 5 Business Days whether it |
|
agrees or disagrees that Skype has met the Minimum Volume (“Minimum Volume Response Notice”). |
|
(b) |
If PayPal has issued a Minimum Volume Response Notice to Skype that agrees that Skype has met the Minimum Volume, then for a period commencing on the date such notice
is issued until the end of the applicable Quarter, Skype warrants and undertakes to maintain at least the Minimum Volume (“Initial Minimum Volume Period”). If PayPal, based on evidence, believes that the Minimum Volume is not being
met during the Initial Minimum Volume Period, then PayPal will issue a further Minimum Volume Response Notice to Skype setting out that PayPal disagrees that the Minimum Volume has been met. Upon issue of such notice, the Initial Minimum Volume
Period shall be deemed not to have commenced. |
|
(c) |
If PayPal issues a Minimum Volume Response Notice which provides that PayPal disagrees that Skype has met the Minimum Volume and this is not accepted by Skype, then the
parties agree to resolve any dispute in accordance with the dispute resolution procedure set out in clause 13.30 and in the case of PayPal, it may elect (alternatively or concurrently) to carry out an audit as set out in clause 2.4(g).
|
|
(d) |
Subject to clause 2.4(f) and provided that the conditions set out in clause 2.3 have been met; if PayPal has issued a Minimum Volume Response Notice agreeing that the
Minimum Volume has been met, and the issue of whether the Minimum Volume has been met is not being disputed, Skype will be liable to, and will pay PayPal the Special Pricing fees as amended by the Special FX Pricing fees on and from the first day
following the expiry of the Initial Minimum Volume Period. |
|
(e) |
Upon the expiry of each Quarter following the Initial Minimum Volume Period, Skype will issue a Minimum Volume Notice to PayPal setting out whether or not it has
continued to maintain the Minimum Volume during that relevant Quarter (“Quarterly Minimum Volume Notice”). Skype will not be entitled to receive the Special Pricing as amended by the Special FX Pricing if it fails to deliver the
Quarterly Minimum Volume Notice. |
|
(f) |
Upon receipt of the Quarterly Minimum Volume Notice, PayPal will notify Skype within 5 Business Days with a Minimum Volume Response Notice. If the conditions in 2.4(d)
continue to be met, then Skype will continue to be liable to, and will pay PayPal the Special Pricing fees as amended by the Special FX Pricing fees. If the conditions in 2.4(d) are not met, subject to clause 2.2 (Skype maintaining its compliance
with the Presentation Requirements), Skype will be liable to, and will pay PayPal the Special Pricing fees. |
|
(g) |
If Skype claim that the Minimum Volume is being met in order to receive preferential pricing under this Agreement, Skype shall permit PayPal (or its
duly authorised representatives) during the term of this Agreement, to audit Skype’s procedures, controls, records and/or performance to satisfy PayPal that Skype is complying with the Minimum Volume. The parties agree to in good faith as soon
as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date a plan setting out the audit procedures that are required to be performed to carry out such an audit to the benefit of both parties. Skype agree to co-operate in any such audit on reasonable
request, provided that any valid and reasonably incurred expenses incurred by Skype shall be re-imbursed by PayPal (except where PayPal uncovers a 5% deviation in the required Minimum Volume commitment and either Skype’s compliance with such
Minimum Volume or the Initial Minimum Volume Notice or Quarterly Minimum Volume Notice (as the case may be) (in which case, the valid and reasonably incurred expenses incurred by PayPal in respect of the relevant audit shall be paid by Skype)). Each
person conducting or participating in such audit shall be required to sign a non-disclosure |
|
agreement in such reasonable form as is agreed by the parties and shall have access only to such records as may directly relate to this Agreement. |
|
(h) |
Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit Skype to utilise PayPal Website Payments Pro in an amount greater than the Minimum Volume. Skype undertakes that it shall use
PayPal Website Payments Pro in relation to a representative section of the total transactions it carries out and shall not seek to use PayPal Website Payments Pro solely or predominately for specific types of transactions which would or might
reasonably be expected to expose PayPal to an increased risk of Chargebacks, fraud or card scheme fees or fines. |
2.5. Special Pricing If Special Pricing applies, Skype will be liable to, and will pay PayPal all the fees and charges as set out
in the fee table below. The following table lists those events which Skype will be liable to PayPal for a fee (a “Chargeable Event”), together with fee charged for each Chargeable Event

If your transaction involves a currency conversion, it will be completed at a foreign exchange rate determined by a financial institution, which is
adjusted regularly based on market conditions. The exchange rate is adjusted regularly and may be applied immediately and without notice to you. This exchange rate includes a [***] processing fee above the wholesale exchange rate at which PayPal
obtains foreign currency, and the processing fee is retained by PayPal. |

Chargeback Settlement Fee: when a Chargeback is received relating to a payment.
To cover the cost of processing Chargebacks, PayPal assesses a Settlement Fee to
sellers for credit and debit card payment Chargebacks. (A Chargeback may occur when a buyer rejects or reverses a charge on his or her card through the card issuer).
The Chargeback Settlement Fee is payable only once by Skype if multiple Chargebacks are received for the same payment transaction.
The Chargeback Settlement Fee is not payable for a Chargeback issued against a
payment which had already been reversed before the Chargeback was received.
If Skype wins a Chargeback dispute, the Chargeback Settlement Fee is still payable, however, this Fee does not apply if the transaction is covered by
PayPal’s Seller Protection Programme. |

PAYPAL PAYMENT PROCESSING AGREEMENT |
|
PAGE 11 |
ADDENDUM 1
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The terms of this Addendum 1 are incorporated into the preceding Payment
Processing Agreement for Merchant Services.
The numbering of the clauses continues from the preceding main part of the Payment Processing
Agreement for Merchant Services.
PART A: PAYPAL TERMS
5. USER AGREEMENT
5.1 |
Applicability. Subject to clause 5.2 below and except where the clauses of this Agreement expressly replace and supersede any clauses of the User Agreement, the
terms of the User Agreement (as amended from time to time) are incorporated by reference into this Agreement. The User Agreement incorporates certain policies, notably the Privacy Policy and the Acceptable Use Policy, which are readily available
from the PayPal Website (together the “Incorporated Agreements”). If the Merchant opens multiple PayPal Accounts, the Merchant will have a slightly varying User Agreement for each Account, depending on the language and governing law
associated with the Account. |
5.2 |
Order of precedence. As much as possible, this Agreement and the Incorporated Agreements should be interpreted as consistent with each other. Where expressly
superseded or where a conflict cannot be reconciled, this Agreement takes precedence over the Incorporated Agreements to the extent of the conflict. |
5.3 |
Website Payments Pro. If you use PayPal’s Website Payments Pro product, your usage will be governed by the PayPal Website Payments Pro Agreement. If there
is any conflict between the PayPal Website Payments Pro Agreement and this Agreement, this Agreement takes precedence over the PayPal Website Payments Pro Agreement to the extent of the conflict. Clauses 1.2 (Required use of Express Checkout), 1.3
(Parity among payment methods), 1.5 (Cancellation), 2 (Fees), 4.1 (User Agreement applies), 7 (Termination and suspension) and 8.2 (Indemnity) of the PayPal Website Payments Pro Agreement shall not apply. Further paragraph 6 of Schedule 1 to the
PayPal Website Payments Pro Agreement shall be amended as follows: |
(a) Paragraph 6(a) is deleted and replaced
with: “Merchant may utilise third parties to perform certain of the Merchant obligations set out in this Schedule with our express written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld nor delayed);
(b) Paragraph 6(c)(iii) is deleted and replaced with: “and warrants that it will comply with the terms of the agreement it has
entered into with the Technical Service Provider”;
(c) Paragraph 6(c)(iv) is deleted and replaced with: “PayPal
(at its discretion) registering the Technical Service Provider with the Association(s)”; and
(d) Paragraph
6(d): the term “gateway processor” is deleted.
5.4 |
Online registration required. Fulfilment of certain obligations in this Agreement, including provision of the Services, depends as a practical matter on prior
online registration by the Merchant for each Covered Account (unless otherwise agreed with PayPal). The Merchant agrees to register online at the PayPal Website well in advance of the Activation Date, if the Merchant has not already done so. In
registering, the Merchant shall designate each Covered Account a Business Account. |
6.1 |
PayPal and the Merchant will discuss marketing and promotional activities associated with their business relationship, and determine, by mutual agreement, any such
activities to pursue. |
6.2 |
Disclosing your acceptance of PayPal. Either party may freely disclose that the Merchant accepts PayPal payments. This permission for disclosure applies not only
to PayPal (Europe) Sàrl & Cie, SCA, but also to all companies under the common ownership and/or control of PayPal, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“PayPal Group Companies”). The Merchant further consents to the disclosure by
PayPal of the Merchant’s Account activity to its other PayPal Group
|

consent of the other. |
6.4 |
Nondisparagement. In representations to a Shared Customer or in public communications, the Merchant shall not mischaracterise or disparage PayPal as a payment
method or company; nor expressly claim that another payment method is superior to PayPal. |
7. MAINTAINING ACCOUNT CONTROL
7.1 |
Merchant’s password. PayPal treats any action taken whilst logged into your Account using your password as having been authorised by you. PayPal shall not
be responsible for any loss occurring as a result of a failure to keep the Merchant’s password sufficiently secure. PayPal shall promptly reset the Merchant’s password in order to stop a loss from occurring, but only after the Merchant
establishes the identity and authorisation of the person requesting the password reset. |
7.2 |
API identifiers. PayPal will provide the Merchant with certain identifying codes specific to the Merchant for use with PayPal APIs. The Merchant agrees to follow
reasonable safeguards to protect the security of those identifying codes. Should the security of the codes become compromised or in doubt, the Merchant shall notify PayPal as soon as possible so that PayPal can cancel and re-issue the codes. PayPal
may also cancel and re-issue the codes if it has reason to believe that their security has been compromised, after notification to the Merchant to the extent that it can reasonably be given under the circumstances. |
7.3 |
Principal Representative. Before the Activation Date, the Merchant shall appoint a Principal Representative, notify PayPal of the name and contact details of the
Principal Representative, and provide documentation of the Principal Representative’s identification. |

legal, contractual and regulatory obligations with respect to control over the Account. |
7.5 |
Additional logins. The Services permit the Merchant to set up additional login and password combinations for accessing the Services. Setting up such a
combination and enabling another person to use it shall constitute authorisation of that other person by the Merchant to use the Merchant’s PayPal Account. If the Merchant uses additional login and password combinations, the Merchant shall:
|
(a) Ensure that the Principal Representative of the Merchant’s Account has authority to administer and
remove additional logins as appropriate;
|
(b) |
Ensure that the Principal Representative can identify and manage each Individual entrusted with a login and password combination for the Account;
|
|
(c) |
Refrain from authorising anyone to use the Account who is not either employed by the Merchant or under contract with the Merchant to perform functions similar to those
commonly performed by employees; and |
|
(d) |
Notify PayPal of the names of the individuals authorised to use the Account. |
7.6 |
Passwords and Accounts of others. The Merchant shall not ask any Shared Customer or any other PayPal user to disclose their PayPal password for any reason. The

8.9 |
Each party shall abide by any payment card industry data security standards of the relevant card schemes as updated from time to time (the “PC” DSS
Standards”). The PCI DSS Standards require each party, among other things, to observe standards of due care with regard to the protection of sensitive customer or cardholder information and to ensure that the Services are compliant with
those standards. Each party shall notify the other party immediately if it becomes aware of or suspects any security breach relating to customer data (whether or not the relevant party has complied with the PCI DSS Standards) (“Notifying
Party”). As soon as reasonably practicable, the Notifying Party shall also (and without prejudice to any other remedy the other party has in respect thereof) identify and remediate the source of such security breach and take any steps
reasonably required by the other party including, but not limited to, the procurement (at the Notifying Party’s cost) of forensic reports from third parties recommended by the other party. |
8.10 |
Each party shall as soon as reasonably practicable notify the other party of the details of any determination which materially impacts the Services (or in the case of
Merchant, the services it provides to its customers) which it receives from any regulatory authority, card scheme, or other financial institution (to the extent that it is contractually or lawfully permitted to do so).

Party, shall be granted control over the defence and settlement of such claim. The Indemnified Party shall not make any prejudicial admission or statement and shall (if so requested) provide reasonable assistance at the expense of the Indemnifying
Party in defence and settlement of such claim. Each party shall, promptly upon becoming aware of any circumstances which may lead to any action or demand for which a right of indemnity exists or might exist against the other, notify the other of
such circumstances in as much detail as is then available to it. |
CLAIMS AND LIABILITY LIMITS
12.5 |
Limit on total exposure. Each party’s total liability to the other (whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty or otherwise)

12.6 |
Claims and User Agreement. If the Merchant has a claim against PayPal, the Merchant agrees to notify PayPal in the manner required for notices in this Agreement,

|
12.7 |

primarily responsible for the claim or potential liability shall: |
|

The party performing an indemnity shall:

c. |
Be subrogated to the rights and defences of the indemnified party after undertaking defence against the claim; and |
|
d. |

Certain losses excluded. Neither party shall be liable for |
a. Any loss of profits, goodwill, business, contracts, revenue or anticipated savings; or for any loss or corruption of data; or
b. Any indirect or consequential loss or damage whatsoever, even if the defending party was advised in advance of the possibility of such loss or damage.

either party for death or personal injury caused by that party’s negligence, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded. This clause applies to indemnities as well as to other obligations.

14 FOR CARD TRANSACTIONS BY NATWEST
This Commercial Entity User Agreement for PayPal Payment Card Funded Processing Services (“Commercial Entity Agreement” or
“CEA”) is provided to all PayPal Users that are Commercial Entities (as defined by Visa Europe, Visa Inc, Visa International, MasterCard Worldwide, UK Maestro, Solo and/or International Maestro”(together the”
“Associations”)) and open a
|

PAYPAL PAYMENT PROCESSING AGREEMENT |
|
PAGE 15 |
Premier or Business Account (such use of such accounts collectively termed the “Premier/Business Service”). Each such PayPal User is hereby referred to as “Merchant” and may
be referred to herein as “you” and/or “your”. This CEA constitutes your separate legally binding contract for credit and debit card processing for PayPal transactions between you and National Westminster Bank PLC and its
Affiliate(s) (collectively, the “Bank”). For the purpose of this CEA, “Affiliate(s)” shall mean the financial institution(s) domiciled in the same Association region as you are domiciled in for Association purposes and which Bank
has formed a relationship with in accordance with Association requirements to allow the processing of card transactions the identity of which you can obtain on contacting PayPal. In accordance with the provisions of this CEA, the Bank may terminate
its provision of credit and debit card processing services and enforce any of the provisions of Merchant’s PayPal Payment Processing Agreement (also known as the PayPal User Agreement) (“PPA”), agreed by and between Merchant and
PayPal. In this CEA “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Bank.
Merchant agrees to the terms and conditions of this
CEA. Merchant further agrees that this CEA forms a legally binding contract between Merchant and Bank. This Commercial Entity Agreement may be amended at any time by us via PayPal posting a revised version of the CEA on the PayPal website(s). The
revised version will be effective at the time PayPal posts it. If we propose to change this CEA in a substantial manner, we will provide you with at least 30 days’ prior notice of such a change by posting notice on the “Policy
Updates” page of PayPal’s web site(s). After this 30 days’ notice, you will be considered as having expressly consented to all amendments to the CEA. If you disagree with those proposed amendments, you may close your account before
the expiry of such 30 day period in accordance with the terms of the PPA and this CEA will terminate on the closure of your account. For the purpose of the CEA a change to this CEA will be considered to be made in a “substantial manner” if
the change involves a reduction to your rights or increases your responsibilities. .
Purpose of this CEA. When your customers pay you
through PayPal, they have the option of paying you through a funding source offered on the PayPal website including a card funded payment. In most instances, you will not know the funding source that your customer selected. Since you may be the
recipient of a card funded payment, the Associations require that you enter into a direct contractual relationship with a bank who is a member of the Associations. By entering into this CEA, you are fulfilling such Association requirement and you
are agreeing to comply with Association rules as they pertain to payments you receive through the PayPal service.
Association Rules.

its customer for the sale of goods or services. Merchant shall not submit a transaction for the refinance or transfer of an existing obligation that was uncollectible. Merchant acknowledges that for Visa and MasterCard payments, PayPal shall obtain
an authorization for transaction amounts prior to completing the transaction. |
14.6 |
Split Transactions. Merchant agrees to submit a single transaction for the full amount of each sale. Except, however in an instance where the Merchant and
cardholder agree on a partial shipment of product, or where the transaction qualifies for delayed delivery or special order deposits (such as partial shipments based on inventory on hand), a sale may be split into multiple transactions.
|
14.7 |
Minimum or Maximum/Surcharges. Merchant agrees that it shall not set minimum or maximum transaction amounts or impose surcharges as a condition of honoring Visa
and MasterCard cards. |

and Merchant. |
15.7 |
Split Transactions. Split sales transactions are not allowed. Specifically, Merchant agrees that it will not use two or more sales transaction receipts for a
single transaction to avoid or circumvent authorisation limits, or monitoring programs. |
15.8 |
Minimum or Maximum. Merchant agrees that it shall not set minimum or maximum transaction amounts as a condition of honouring Visa and MasterCard cards.
|
15.9 |
Surcharges. Merchant agrees that it will not impose surcharges on debit card transactions. |
15.10 |
Visa and MasterCard Marks. Merchant is authorised to use the Visa and MasterCard logos or marks only on Merchant’s promotional materials and website to
indicate that Visa and MasterCard cards are accepted as payment for the business goods and services. Merchant agrees that it shall not use the logos and marks either directly or indirectly, to imply that Visa or MasterCard endorses Merchant’s
goods or services; nor may Merchant refer to Visa or MasterCard when stating eligibility requirements for purchasing its products, services, or memberships. |
15.11 |
Credit Vouchers. Credit vouchers may not be submitted for non-credit transactions. Merchant agrees that it shall not: (i) accept a payment from a card

provided, unless, at the time of the transaction, the cardholder agrees to a properly disclosed delayed delivery of the goods or services. Merchant agrees that when it receives authorisation for delayed presentment, the words “Delayed

15.16 |

cardholder to still dispute these items. In particular, by implementing Directive 97/7/EC many European Union member states will have distance selling regulations which allow a consumer to cancel its contract with the Merchant within a defined
period and receive a refund. |

clause, shall be resolved by arbitration in London, England, conducted in English by a single arbitrator in accordance with the ICC Rules. The parties agree to waive any right of appeal against the arbitration award. In the event of a failure by the
