The Service Provider reserves the right to adjust the amounts of its Compensation by providing prior notice to the Client at least 30 days in advance, either by email or through publication on the Cali Website. If the Client does not agree with the new amount, they may request clarification and, if the disagreement persists, may request termination of the Agreement at no additional cost. Failure to request termination shall be interpreted as acceptance of the newly established amounts.
8.1.2. During the term of the Agreement, the Service Provider’s Compensation may be reviewed at any time, including but not limited to the following situations:
8.2. The Service Provider’s Compensation may be adjusted every 12 (twelve) months based on the IGPM-FGV (General Market Price Index of the Getúlio Vargas Foundation), with the Parties hereby committing to maintaining the economic balance of the Agreement. Cali may, at its sole discretion, choose not to apply the adjustment referred to in this clause.
8.3. The Service Provider may introduce new forms of Compensation, provided that prior written notice is given to the Client.
8.4. In order to collect the Compensation and/or any amounts due, including those related to indemnification events or breach of this Agreement, the Service Provider may, at its sole discretion, adopt one of the following alternatives:

9.4. During audit processes related to suspected fraud or other irregular conduct, the Service Provider may, at its sole discretion, temporarily suspend the provision of the contracted services, as well as suspend financial transfers to the Client and retain amounts from Transactions with Payment Methods, from the start of the investigation until its conclusion, without this measure resulting in any penalties or charges for the Service Provider.
9.5. If the investigations do not confirm the existence of irregularities in the Transactions with Payment Methods and as long as the Contract remains in effect, the Service Provider will make the due payments to the Client without the imposition of additional charges.
9.6. If fraud or irregular operations are confirmed or suspected to have been carried out by the Client, the Service Provider may immediately take measures such as blocking Transactions with Payment Methods, modifying the contracted Remuneration, deactivating the Client, terminating the Contract, and retaining any amounts that have not yet been settled, for the time required to investigate the damages incurred. After the investigation is concluded, the retained amounts may be used to offset damages or losses caused to the Service Provider, the Issuers, and/or the Cardholders.
9.7. Cali may establish, at its discretion, a financial limit for the operations conducted by the Client within the scope of the contracted services, providing prior notice of such restrictions. If the volume of Transactions with Payment Methods reaches this limit within a certain period, the Client agrees to obtain prior authorization from Cali to proceed with sending new Transactions for the purpose of capture, processing, and settlement.
