Rules for accepting MasterCard

So I was just about to share MasterCard’s merchant rules when I read the first paragraph from their manual online, which says:

“Proprietary Rights:  The information contained in this document is proprietary and confidential to MasterCard International Incorporated, one or more of its affiliated entities (collectively “MasterCard”), or both.  This material may not be duplicated, published, or disclosed, in whole or in part, without the prior written permission of MasterCard.”

Kind of a silly statement when anyone can access this information online directly from MasterCard’s website.

So, if you made it through my article about Visa’s rules, congrats, you can make it through this too!  If you didn’t, good luck to ya!  But do it anyway.

Here is the link: Rules of MasterCard
