The Merchant acknowledges and agrees that the KoenigPayments service operates solely as a payment intermediary and that KoenigPayments (i) under no circumstances functions as a seller, buyer, dealer, middleman, retailer, auctioneer, supplier, distributor, manufacturer, broker, agent, or merchant of any product or service being ordered, obtained, or procured by any funds processed through its services; and (ii) makes no representations or warranties and does not ensure the quality, safety, or legality of any product or service purchased with funds received through the KoenigPayments Services.
4.5. The Merchant acknowledges and agrees that any dispute regarding any product or service purchased or procured by any funds requested or received through the KoenigPayments Services or any transaction involving the KoenigPayments Services is between the sender and receiver of the funds and/or the supplier and receiver of the goods or services. Any transaction connected with the products and services offered by the Merchant shall only obligate the Merchant. KoenigPayments shall not be a party to any resulting dispute including but not limited to disputes over performance and liability issues relating to the delivery, quality, quantity, or use of the products and services offered by the Merchant. Without applying the liability restrictions contained in section 13, the Merchant shall fully indemnify KoenigPayments against any claim by third parties relating to the use of the products and services offered and shall reimburse KoenigPayments in full for the reasonable costs of any legal defence.

The Merchant shall further restrict any login to its Merchant Account to a pair or a range of IP addresses.
5.6. Without prejudice to payments prohibited under the Terms of Service, the Merchant shall not receive payments as consideration for the delivery of tobacco products, prescription or non-prescription drugs, illegal downloads, or goods or services infringing intellectual property rights of a third party, or for any other goods or services the offering or provision of which is illegal under applicable law.
5.7. The Merchant shall cooperate with KoenigPayments to investigate any suspected illegal, fraudulent, or improper activity.
5.8. Upon commencement of the Agreement and at any time thereafter for purposes of complying with Regulatory Requirements, the Merchant shall provide KoenigPayments with such information about its business, corporate structure and constitution, shareholders, partners, members, directors, key employees, or in the case of a trust, its beneficiaries. In particular, the Merchant shall inform KoenigPayments in writing of any changes to its business model or the goods or services it sells or distributes if such change is or can reasonably be expected to be relevant with regard to compliance with Regulatory Requirements.

The amount of the Reserve (either expressed as an absolute amount or as a percentage of past payments into the Merchant Account) shall be determined by KoenigPayments at any time in its sole discretion. KoenigPayments shall notify the Merchant of the imposition of a Reserve and its amount as well as any increase or reduction of the Reserve without undue delay.

The Merchant shall also undertake, at its own expense, any further action (including executing any necessary documents and registering any form of document) reasonably required to establish such form of security as reasonably required by KoenigPayments.
6.4. If required by KoenigPayments, the Merchant shall pay such amounts into its Merchant Account as is reasonably determined by KoenigPayments to fund an initial Reserve or to react to unforeseen increased risks of payment reversals that is not covered by the Merchant Account's then current balance.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, where a Merchant incurs a negative balance on his Merchant Account or becomes otherwise liable for the repayment of monies, the Merchant shall be obliged to make good such negative balance or make a corresponding payment to KoenigPayments within seven days of KoenigPayments's request or demand for such payment.
