I, as a "merchant" cannot dictate to them how they conduct their business; they have no place telling me how I run mine. Period.

VISA has the right to tell you how to run your business in order for you to do business with them. They do get to dictate their terms and you can choose to accept or reject their service. In order to accept their provision of service you must play by their rules.

The restrictions on VISA are that they cannot turn you away based upon race, religion, or creed. They can tell you what type of content they will service and what language can be on your page if you want them to bill for you. VISA can legally dictate how your business operates and your only recourse is to not use them.

Sorry but you have no case.
