f. Recovery of Chargebacks:
A Chargeback represents an immediate liability from the Customer to TransFi.

TransFi may immediately terminate this Agreement if, in its sole discretion, the volume or value of Chargebacks or fraud recalls is deemed excessive or unreasonable.
k. Accountability for Merchants, Sub-Merchants, and Clients:
The Customer acknowledges and agrees that it shall be solely responsible for any Chargebacks, fraud recalls, fines, penalties, or related costs arising from the actions, omissions, or non-compliance of its merchants, sub-merchants, or clients.

TransFi reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to establish a Reserve or impose rolling reserve requirements at any point in time based on the quality of traffic, perceived chargeback risks, or other factors it deems relevant to mitigate potential liabilities.
b. Reserve Terms:
If TransFi imposes a Reserve, it will notify the Customer specifying the terms of the Reserve. These terms may include: (i) Holding a certain percentage of the Customer’s funds for a specified duration; (ii) Withholding a fixed amount of funds from disbursement; and (iii) Imposing other restrictions or
requirements as TransFi determines necessary to mitigate risk.

e. Liability Beyond Reserve:
The Customer agrees that it remains fully liable for all obligations related to its transactions, even after any Reserve has been released.
f. Blocking and Deductions:
TransFi has the right to block funds in the Customer's account or Reserves immediately upon receiving credible information from payment schemes, suppliers, or authorities indicating a high probability of fines, penalties, or other risks. Any damages, penalties, or liabilities incurred will first be deducted from the Customer’s funds held in accounts maintained by TransFi and, if insufficient, from the Reserve. These deductions may be executed without prior statements or declarations to the Customer.
g. Maintenance of Bank Account:
The Customer must maintain its designated Bank Account with sufficient funds to cover open settlements, Chargebacks, or other adjustments, as required by TransFi.
