ELECTRONIC FOOD BENEFIT CARDS (EBT)

EBT cards can also be accepted on certain POS and with additional setup. The following POS can accept EBT:

Verifone Commander Verifone Ruby Ci Radiant FD130 For locations with a POS that cannot accept EBT, the standalone FD130 can be rented to process only EBT cards at a monthly fee.

To have EBT setup at the location a copy of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Permit issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture needs to be submitted to [email protected]. If a copy of the certificate cannot be found, please call 1.877.823.4369 to obtain a copy.

FUELMAN

Fuelman fleet cards can be processed through the POS on the Clark network. However, the card is settled directly by Fuelman, it is not settled by Clark. A Fuelman account needs to be set up directly with Fuelman. They can be reached at 1-877-826-9282 or visit their site www.fuelman.com/fuelman-merchant-program. Once the account is set up and the ID is received please notify Client Services to have it added to the location’s profile.

Fleet Cards__________________________________________________ The Clark Fleet Services Card, Voyager and Wright Express Fleet Fueling Cards may have purchase restrictions embossed on the card. The card will be either Fuel Only or Restricted. In either situation, when a manual imprint is necessary for Fleet Cards, the gallons purchased, price per gallon, vehicle ID and odometer reading will be required.

TAX EXEMPT

Some fleet customers may be exempt from sales tax. In these cases, a monthly tax-exempt report detailing these transactions will be sent. The total for each tax-exempt card type will be reported on a monthly basis and will be deducted as an adjustment. A separate report will be sent for Voyager and WEX, where applicable.

For questions on sales tax or fuel excise taxes, or reimbursement for these adjustments, marketers should consult their tax advisor. *

To be setup as a Voyager tax exempt merchant please send a request to [email protected]. No setup required for WEX tax exempt customers.

* With respect to Payment Transactions where the fleet cardholder (the “Cardholder”) holds itself out as a tax-exempt person or entity (collectively, a “Tax-Exempt Transaction”), Clark presently provides or causes to be provided to the Company the following information: Merchant number, DBA Name, Currency Code, Purchase Date, Product Code, Fuel Qty, Tax Rate, Tax Amount, Tax ID Number, Tax Description, Customer Number and Customer Name (although Clark reserves the right to change the categories and types of

Page 7: Merchant Guidelines - Clark Brands · 2019-03-02 · Brands certified electronic Point of Sale (POS) Equipment. Keep all credit and debit card sales receipts for one year. If a customer

information so provided). The Company acknowledges that such information is acceptable and sufficient for the Company’s tax reporting and filing purposes.

The Company acknowledges and confirms that (a) Clark does not provide any assurance or guaranty that the Card Holder or Tax Exempt Transaction is, in fact, tax exempt, (b) Clark does not retain any Card Holder information and cannot provide the Company with any such information, (c) Clark makes no representations or warranties as to the accuracy of the tax rates or fuel quantities included in the information Clark provides it being understood that such information is provided by the Card Holder at the time of purchase and (d) the Company may, at any time, request in writing that Clark (and Clark may, at any time, notify the Company in writing that Clark will) discontinue providing information to the Company.

Credit Card Rules___________________________________________ A card must be presented to complete a transaction, either through card swipe on a credit card reader or a manual imprint.

Merchants may require minimum purchase amounts on credit card transactions. The minimum purchase amount must not exceed $10 (or other amounts as set by law), does not apply to transactions made with debit cards and cannot differentiate on the basis of the issuer or payment card network. No maximum amount can be applied to any credit or debit card transactions.

For a complete list of rules and guidelines please visit the links below:

Visa Rules Mastercard Rules American Express Rules

Authorization/Merchant ID #s/Request for Copy Fax #s___________

Authorization for Fraud Suspicious Transactions__________________ If you are suspicious of a card or cardholder, call the appropriate Voice Authorization Center and ask for a “code 10”. A specially trained operator will lead you through a series of questions designed to minimize discomfort to both you and your customer. A Code 10 authorization request is most often performed when fraud is suspected. The authorization request allows merchants to obtain further information about a customer or the card in question before releasing merchandise. A merchant will call the authorization center, requesting guidance on how to proceed.

Products Authorized to be Purchased with a Credit Card___________ All items sold at Clark stores except for Money Orders and Lottery Tickets may be charged on a credit or debit card.

Chargebacks________________________________________________ A chargeback is the reversal of a previous sales transaction by the card issuer due to the transaction being non-compliant with the association rules and regulations or because it was disputed by a Cardholder. When this occurs, the amount is passed on to the merchant/dealer and deducted from their credit card settlement. Clark will notify the Licensee of a chargeback by sending a “Chargeback Report” with details of the transaction. (See sample Chargeback Report)

CHARGEBACK– PAY AT THE PUMP

Merchant regulations provide no remedy for pay at the pump transactions that are deemed to be fraudulent. Clark reserves the right to chargeback transactions that are not in compliance with the Payment Methods Guidelines and the rules and regulations of Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, all Debit Networks and all Fleet Card issuers.

SAMPLE CHARGEBACK REPORT

When a chargeback report is received please follow the directions that are provided to attempt to reverse the chargeback with the card issuer.

REQUEST FOR COPY PROCEDURES

Because of occasional billing questions, there may be instances when a copy of a sales draft (Ticket) is required by the cardholder’s issuing institution. These requests are formally known as a Request for Copy (RFCO), and informally known as retrieval requests. Below are the steps to follow when a Merchant receives a Request for Copy. Failure to respond to a Request for Copy will result in a chargeback.

1. Clark receives Requests for Copies (RFCO) daily from card companies and will send via email Request for Copy reports to the Licensee (see Sample Request for Copy Report).

2. The Merchant should find the store copy of the ticket that has been requested and send or fax it to the credit card company requesting the ticket.

3. Please make sure that your ticket copy is legible before sending via fax or mail. IMPORTANT! Please respond to all retrieval requests by the reply date. Responding by this date does not ensure that transactions will not be charged back.

Security and Fraud___________________________________________ Merchants processing on the Clark network benefit from tools that can help reduce and identify fraud events.

SHUT OFF/COMPLETION LIMITS

The following Shut Off/Completion limits need to be programmed into the POS so that no purchase at the pump exceeds these limits:

Card Type Shut Off Visa $100 MasterCard $100 American Express $100 Discover $100 Debit $50

Card Type Shut Off Wright Express $150 Voyager $100 Visa Fleet $150 MasterCard Fleet $150 Fuelman $150

For transaction amounts that exceed the amounts provided by Clark, issuers may chargeback the difference between the transaction amount and the limit for select chargeback reason codes.

PRE-AUTHORIZATION/BANK HOLDS

When a customer uses their card at the pump an amount on their account is held to ensure the customer has funds available for the purchase. The amount held can be anywhere from $1-$150 depending on the card type, see list below. The funds are released once the transaction is settled, hold time can range from a few minutes to 24 hours for most cards, but can take up to 7 days. For customer’s with pre-loaded cards these holds can last up to 30 days. For a customer to avoid any potential holds it is best to pay inside. For the customer’s bank hold policy, they can contact their bank with the number on the back of their card.

Card Type Pre-Auth Visa $1 MasterCard $1 American Express $100 Discover $100 Debit $50

Card Type Pre-Auth Wright Express $1 Voyager $1 Visa Fleet $1 MasterCard Fleet $1

HOST VELOCITY

Clark can limit the number of times a credit card is swiped at a location’s dispensers per day. This control makes it more difficult for a stolen credit card to be used numerous times at the dispenser, potentially preventing fewer “Pay at the Pump” chargebacks. The velocity setting can be changed at any time at Clark’s discretion.

Page 12: Merchant Guidelines - Clark Brands · 2019-03-02 · Brands certified electronic Point of Sale (POS) Equipment. Keep all credit and debit card sales receipts for one year. If a customer

12

ADDRESS/ZIP CODE VERIFICATION (AVS)

AVS is a system that helps reduce pay-at-the-pump fraud by verifying the personal address and billing information provided by a customer at the time of an online credit card transaction against the information the credit card company has on file. Clark may choose to place a location on AVS. If a dealer chooses not to utilize the AVS function per Clark’s request, all chargebacks will be the responsibility of the dealer.

VISA TRANSACTION ADVISOR (VTA)

VTA analyzes all non-chip Visa transactions at the dispensers and sends customers with potential fraudulent transactions inside the store. Based on documented behavior, criminals are less likely to use fraudulent cards inside the store. VTA is also set up to review non-chip indoor Visa transactions.

VTA occurs behind-the-scenes and will not affect the speed and acceptance of non-fraudulent transactions. Please be aware that VTA is not a substitute for accepting EMV cards.

SECURITY LABELS

Over the past few years, there has been a dramatic increase in gas station credit card skimming. Criminals have been opening and inserting skimming devices in unattended PIN-entry devices at gas stations nationwide. The criminals can then download personal information from credit/debit cards leading to identity theft. In order to combat this problem, Clark Brands can provide security labels.

Page 13: Merchant Guidelines - Clark Brands · 2019-03-02 · Brands certified electronic Point of Sale (POS) Equipment. Keep all credit and debit card sales receipts for one year. If a customer

13

These stickers provide an anti-tamper seal for your pumps and have pressure-sensitive adhesive-just peel and stick. After applying a security label in the proper location around the dispenser door, the label will remain a solid color. If any attempts to lift, peel or remove the label the words VOID will appear.

BIG TICKET

If a single transaction is larger than $10,000 additional documentation is required before the transaction is settled. Client Services will send an email notification on the following business day from the transaction date requesting a signed receipt and a copy of the invoice. You can proactively send the information prior to the email to [email protected].

PCI Standards and ControlScan________________________________

PCI

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) are a set of mandated guidelines that provide merchants with rules for physical, application, and network security, as well as security policy management, which is required of all merchants.

In 2004, the PCI Council was formed by the five major card brands: Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and Japan Card. Their aim was to establish a standard set of guidelines around the handling of cardholder data by merchants. To demonstrate compliance with these guidelines, merchants are required to submit an attestation of compliance annually.

It is your responsibility—as a merchant accepting credit and debit card payments—to safeguard customer card data by becoming PCI compliant and maintaining compliance with PCI standards. In order to comply with the card brands and avoid potentially hefty fines, Clark Brands requires all merchants to meet PCI DSS requirements as soon as possible. For more information about your PCI compliance, visit www.pcisecuritystandards.org.

CONTROLSCAN OVERVIEW

Clark Crown has partnered with ControlScan to assist you in understanding and meeting the requirements needed to validate and maintain PCI compliance. ControlScan’s easy-to-use solution and detailed level of support make achieving compliance less complicated. ControlScan's PCI 1-2-3 compliance program will provide you with access to:

SmartSAQ (PCI Self-Assessment Questionnaire) Policy Builder (PCI policy development tool) Security Awareness Training

15

SmartScan (network scanning tool) Knowledgeable support staff

ControlScan was chosen because of its ability to provide hands-on assistance to all merchants for completion of the Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ), its scanning engine reliability and service for identifying and remediating vulnerabilities - all required to maintain PCI compliance.

Recognizing that PCI compliance can seem complex, ControlScan offers unlimited, highly personalized support and help desk, which includes:

• Access to one-on-one telephone consultation. • Knowledgeable representatives trained on compliance and security. • Ability to walk through the entire required SAQ process with you. • Access to certified security analysts for more advanced questions. • Assistance in any remediation that may be required.

CONTROLSCAN PCI SUPPORT CONTACT INFORMATION

1.800.825.3301 ext. 1 8:30 AM – 8:00 PM Monday – Friday, EST https://www.controlscan.com/

CONTROLSCAN REQUIREMENTS

Within the first week, a location begins processing on the Clark network they will be enrolled in ControlScan and will receive an email with login instructions to the email provided by the location at the time of setup. The location will have 90-days to complete and pass the questionnaire (SAQ) and if processing over the internet complete and pass the quarterly vulnerability scan.

If merchants do not become PCI compliant within the 90-day period, non-compliance fees will be assessed on a monthly basis, one fee for an incomplete or failed SAQ and another if applicable for an incomplete or failed vulnerability scan. The PCI non-compliance fees will be assessed until the merchant has completed and passed the SAQ and if processing over the internet has completed a passing quarterly vulnerability scan.

In the event a merchant chooses to utilize another certified QSA and ASV or has already achieved compliance, the merchant must submit a completed SAQ reflecting compliant status, a completed and signed Attestation of Compliance, and as passing scan report to [email protected] for review. In that event, an administrative fee will be assessed.

Europay Mastercard Visa – EMV________________________________ EMV cards contain both a traditional magnetic strip, as well as a chip that is used to transmit data. EMV cards help deter fraud by using unique transaction codes, which can only be use at one time, making fraud more difficult and less likely to occur.

3.

Beginning in October 2015 for indoor transactions and upcoming in October 2020 for outdoor pump transactions, when a fraudulent transaction occurs, whichever party (Merchant, Processor, Card Issuer) has the lesser technology will be held financially liable for any resulting card present counterfeit losses. Merchants need to have an EMV compliant terminal and pumps to help protect against the liability shift.

New Store Kits_______________________________________________ Every new location, including both branded and credit card only, will be sent a new store kit via FEDEX/UPS after the location begins processing on the Clark network.
