AGENCY agrees that the deposit of funds to the FORTE Designated Account shall discharge Acquirer of its settlement obligation to AGENCY and any dispute regarding the receipt or amount of settlement shall be between FORTE and AGENCY. Acquirer will debit the FORTE Designated Account for funds owed to Acquirer as a result of the Services provided hereunder unless an AGENCY-owned account is otherwise designated by AGENCY. Further, if a cardholder disputes a Transaction,if a Transaction is charged back for any reason, or if FORTE or Acquirer reasonably believes a Transaction is unauthorized or otherwise unacceptable, the amount of such Transaction may be charged back and debited from AGENCY if settled to an AGENCY-owned account or debited from the FORTE Designated Account if settled to that account. 6.15 Provisional and Final Payment.
