eCommerce Partnership Agreement (ECPA)

eCommerce is a web-based payment tool that allows departments across the University of Mary Washington to accept online payment via credit card and echeck.  Examples of use include workshop registrations, concert tickets, class registrations, and summer camp.

To take full advantage of this system, a partnership must exist between eCommerce users, department web managers and members of our finance and technology departments. The partnership provisions and user responsibilities are provided to you via start up and on-going thru site communications, training, appropriate system securities, and compliance requirements.

By accepting use of eCommerce sites, you are agreeing to your partnering and compliance in eCommerce site management in the following:

I agree to:

  1. Receive my department’s approval to use eCommerce as a tool for accepting online payments or registrations/fees for my eCommerce store, event, or program offering.
  2. Comply with Payment Card Security Standards (PCI/DSS) by not requesting, entering or storing credit card or echeck information for any reason, and participating in PCI-DSS training, if required.

  4. Work with my department web manager for eCommerce web links and web page requirements.
  5. Attend training as required by my eCommerce and/or Banner Finance security profile.
