    2. Check Cherry will display on the Services the Packaged Services that have been approved by Check Cherry through Merchant’s completion and Check Cherry’s approval of the Merchant sign-up form(s) (such completion and approval, “Registration”) at its discretion. Through the Registration process, the parties will agree to, among other terms, Packaged Services details to be displayed on the Services, and the price and balance of services rendered through the Services. Check Cherry may also promote the Packaged Services in Check Cherry’s discretion, such as email marketing and displaying content on third-party sites and services.
    3. Merchant will provide Check Cherry, on a timely basis, with all reasonably requested information regarding Packaged Services, so that Check Cherry may provide such information to a User before he or she decides to reserve such Packaged Services.
