Acceptable Language
It is important to the credit card associations and 2Co that the relationship between vendors and 2CO is not misrepresented. Vendors should represent 2CO as an authorized retailer or out-sourced vendor solution, not as a "credit card processor" or "payment gateway." Vendors do have artistic license to incorporate this depiction into the context of their site provided they do not misrepresent the relationship.
