This authorization will continue until Client’s Designated Account is closed or terminated. Client agrees that Service Provider’s receipt of Transaction proceeds satisfies Client’s customers’ obligations to Client. Service Provider will remit to Client funds actually received by Service Provider on Client’s behalf, less amounts owed to Service Provider, subject to any Chargebacks or reserve withheld or applied as per this agreement.
