This list is maintained separately from the One Avenues LLC Terms of Service. One Avenue makes every effort to keep this list as current as possible. However, because of the unpredictable nature of card network rules, legislation, and payment processor relationships, this list may change abruptly and without notice. Changes to this list take effect immediately. We don't make the rules or laws, we just follow them.
