Nium Airline Payments Service.

3. The Client acknowledges and accepts that:

  2. in addition to the acknowledgements contained in Section 19(e) of the Agreement, the Nium Airline Payments Service is subject to any constraints or limitations stipulated by UATP and Nium’s continued authorization by UATP;
  3. the UATP Token is a prepaid payment instrument which may be used to pay for goods and services at Merchants participating in the UATP Network. Like any payment card, Nium cannot guarantee that a particular Merchant will accept the UATP Token, and the Client should check before attempting the Payment if the Client is unsure;
  4. UATP Tokens are subject to authorization by UATP and Nium shall not be liable for any losses or damages resulting from or in connection with any refusal or delay of such authorization; and
  5. Nium shall not be held liable for failure to provide, or continuing to provide, the Nium Airline Payments Service due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control.

2. Each Party shall take appropriate technical and organizational measures against unauthorized or unlawful processing of the personal data or its accidental loss, destruction or damage including, but not limited to, complying with any applicable requirements of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).
Operation of the Nium Airline Payments Service.
1. The Nium Airline Payments Service shall be operated by Nium as follows:

  2. subject to the Client’s Nium Account holding Sufficient Funds, Nium shall issue the UATP Token to the Client in the amount requested;
  3. the Client shall use the UATP Token to make the Payment with an Airline;
  4. Nium will receive a Settlement File from UATP once per Business Day in respect of all UATP Transactions submitted by the Client using UATP Tokens as payment during the preceding twenty-four (24) hour period (or longer where the preceding period is not a Business Day).
