ARTICLE I - CARD TRANSACTIONS 1.01 Honoring Cards. (a) Merchant shall honor without discrimination all valid cards of the type(s) checked below ("Cards") when properly presented as payment by customers in connection with bona fide, legitimate business transactions. If Merchant does not deal with the public at large (such as in the case of a private club), Merchant shall be deemed to have complied with this non-discrimination rule if it honors all valid Cards of cardholders who have purchasing privileges or memberships with Merchant. T (b) Merchant shall not require, through an increase in price or otherwise, any cardholder to pay any surcharge at the time of sale or to pay any part of any charge imposed on Merchant by Acquirer (discounts for payment in cash, however, are permitted). (c) Merchant shall not establish minimum or maximum transaction amounts. (d) Merchant shall not require a cardholder to provide personal identification information such as telephone number, address, or driver's license number as a condition of honoring any Card, unless such information is otherwise required by MasterCard International Inc. ("MasterCard") and/or Visa U.S.A. Inc. ("Visa") in connection with a particular transaction. 1.02 Advertising. (a) Merchant shall display adequately any advertising or promotional materials provided or required by Acquirer to inform the public that Cards will be honored at Merchant's place of business. Such displays, however, are not required of private clubs and other Merchants that do not deal with the general public, vehicle leasing companies at airport locations, transportation companies subject to government regulation, or other Merchants expressly exempted from this requirement by MasterCard and/or Visa, as applicable.
