RMF Program Fees — $29–49 monthly platform fee plus any gateway pass‑through fees (see Clearview Fee Schedule). Guests are charged a 4 %–5 % processing fee at the point of sale; Clearview retains this amount.
Traditional Program — interchange + basis points + per‑item fees as quoted in your Merchant Application.
Other Fees — chargeback, retrieval, ACH reject, invalid TIN, and non‑PCI fees are detailed in Schedule A.
You authorize Clearview to debit your settlement account via ACH for all fees, chargebacks, and adjustments.
Standard funding is next‑day (T+1), subject to cutoff times, bank holidays, and risk holds.
Clearview may establish a reserve or delay funding if we reasonably believe there is elevated risk (e.g., excessive chargebacks, fraud, insolvency).
Merchant bears liability for chargebacks. Clearview will assist via Chargeback Shield but makes no guarantee of representment success.
Retrieval and chargeback responses must be provided within card‑brand timeframes.
