Dear Webmasters,
In the interests of retaining the continued good relationship with merchant banks and provide our clients with the best possible service, AC Pay will be implementing some significant changes over the coming weeks. These break down into two categories--Registration Fees and Site Content, respectively.
REGISTRATION FEES:
As of June 15, AC Pay will begin charging an annual registration fee to all clients. Clients outside of the United States and Canada will be subject to a $350 annual fee, while clients within the United States and Canada will be subject to a $750 fee. For clients doing business within the United States or Canada that have already registered with VISA through an IPSP, the $750 fee will be waived and they need only pay $350, with proper proof of registration. For clients with a certain transaction volume, AC Pay may, at it's discretion, waive some or all of the annual fees, on a per-case basis. Future clients will be required to pay fees to AC Pay before processing can begin. Existing clients will be sent a bill, as necessary.
SITE CONTENT:
We have already begun providing Webmasters with a number of simple steps to take to ensure that their sites comply with card association regulations. We will distribute these more widely in the coming weeks, As a reminder, AC Pay will not accept sites in any of the following categories:
- Rape: any materials involving rape, simulated rape, forced sex or bondage with penetration.
- Child Pornography: any materials involving persons under the age of 18, either ?actual? or suggested?.
- Hate Crimes / Hate Propaganda
- Pre-teen References: any references to ?Lolita? or ?Pre-Teen?.
- Bestiality: any materials involving sex with animals.
- Molestation
- Incest
- Inappropriate URL: any URL (domain, directory or file name) that implies any inappropriate content listed above.
If you have any questions, please email [email protected]. We expect a large number of questions, so our response times may be slower than average for a few days, but we will get back to you. To protect the privacy and security of our clients, we will not respond to posts on this or other boards.
Sincerely,
Cormac Foster
