TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE BILL PAYMENT SERVICE

SERVICE DEFINITIONS

"Service" or "The Service" means the bill payment service offered by Peoples Energy Credit Union , through CheckFree Services Corporation, a subsidiary of Fiserv Solutions, Inc .

"Agreement" means these terms and conditions of the bill payment service.

"Member Service" means the Member Service department of Peoples Energy Credit Union . Please see the ERRORS AND QUESTIONS section below for Member Service contact information.

"Biller" is the person or entity to which you wish a bill payment to be directed or is the person or entity from which you receive electronic bills, as the case may be.

"Payment Instruction" is the information provided by you to the Service for a bill payment to be made to the Biller (such as, but not limited to, Biller name, Biller account number, and Scheduled Payment Date).

"Payment Account" is the checking account from which bill payments will be debited.

"Billing Account" is the checking account from which all Service fees will be automatically debited.

"Business Day" is every Monday through Friday, excluding Federal Reserve holidays.

"Scheduled Payment Date" is the day you want your Biller to receive your bill payment and is also the day your Payment Account will be debited, unless the Scheduled Payment Date falls on a non-Business Day in which case it will be considered to be the previous Business Day.

"Due Date" is the date reflected on your Biller statement for which the payment is due; it is not the late date or grace period.

"Scheduled Payment" is a payment that has been scheduled through the Service but has not begun processing.

PAYMENT SCHEDULING

The earliest possible Scheduled Payment Date for each Biller (typically four (4) or fewer Business Days from the current date) will be designated within the application when you are scheduling the payment. Therefore, the application will not permit you to select a Scheduled Payment Date less than the earliest possible Scheduled Payment Date designated for each Biller. When scheduling payments you must select a Scheduled Payment Date that is no later than the actual Due Date reflected on your Biller statement unless the Due Date falls on a non-Business Day. If the actual Due Date falls on a non-Business Day, you must select a Scheduled Payment Date that is at least one (1) Business Day before the actual Due Date. Scheduled Payment Dates must be prior to any late date or grace period.

THE SERVICE GUARANTEE

Due to circumstances beyond the control of the Service, particularly delays in handling and posting payments by Billers or financial institutions, some transactions may take longer to be credited to your account. The Service will bear responsibility for any late payment related charges up to $50.00 should a payment post after its Due Date as long as the payment was scheduled in accordance with the guidelines described under "Payment Scheduling" in this Agreement.

PAYMENT AUTHORIZATION AND PAYMENT REMITTANCE

By providing the Service with names and account information of Billers to whom you wish to direct payments, you authorize the Service to follow the Payment Instructions that it receives through the payment system. In order to process payments more efficiently and effectively, the Service may edit or alter payment data or data formats in accordance with Biller directives.

When the Service receives a Payment Instruction, you authorize the Service to debit your Payment Account and remit funds on your behalf so that the funds arrive as close as reasonably possible to the Scheduled Payment Date designated by you. You also authorize the Service to credit your Payment Account for payments returned to the Service by the United States Postal Service or Biller, or payments remitted to you on behalf of another authorized user of the Service.

The Service will use its best efforts to make all your payments properly. However, the Service shall incur no liability and any Service Guarantee shall be void if the Service is unable to complete any payments initiated by you because of the existence of any one or more of the following circumstances:

If, through no fault of the Service, your Payment Account does not contain sufficient funds to complete the transaction or the transaction would exceed the credit limit of your overdraft account;
The payment processing center is not working properly and you know or have been advised by the Service about the malfunction before you execute the transaction;
You have not provided the Service with the correct Payment Account information, or the correct name, address, phone number, or account information for the Biller; and/or,
Circumstances beyond control of the Service (such as, but not limited to, fire, flood, or interference from an outside force) prevent the proper execution of the transaction and the Service has taken reasonable precautions to avoid those circumstances.

Provided none of the foregoing exceptions are applicable, if the Service causes an incorrect amount of funds to be removed from your Payment Account or causes funds from your Payment Account to be directed to a Biller which does not comply with your Payment Instructions, the Service shall be responsible for returning the improperly transferred funds to your Payment Account, and for directing to the proper Biller any previously misdirected transactions, and, if applicable, for any late payment related charges.

PAYMENT METHODS

The Service reserves the right to select the method in which to remit funds on your behalf to your Biller. These payment methods may include, but may not be limited to, an electronic payment, an electronic to check payment, or a laser draft payment. (funds remitted to the Biller are deducted from your Payment Account when the laser draft is presented to your financial institution for payment).

PAYMENT CANCELLATION REQUESTS

You may cancel or edit any Scheduled Payment (including recurring payments) by following the directions within the application. There is no charge for canceling or editing a Scheduled Payment. Once the Service has begun processing a payment it cannot be cancelled or edited, therefore a stop payment request must be submitted.

STOP PAYMENT REQUESTS

The Service's ability to process a stop payment request will depend on the payment method and whether or not a check has cleared. The Service may also not have a reasonable opportunity to act on any stop payment request after a payment has been processed. If you desire to stop any payment that has already been processed, you must contact Member Service. Although the Service will make every effort to accommodate your request, the Service will have no liability for failing to do so. The Service may also require you to present your request in writing within fourteen (14) days. The charge for each stop payment request will be the current charge for such service as set out in the applicable fee schedule.

PROHIBITED PAYMENTS

Payments to Billers outside of the United States or its territories are prohibited through the Service.

EXCEPTION PAYMENTS

Tax payments and court ordered payments may be scheduled through the Service, however such payments are discouraged and must be scheduled at your own risk. In no event shall the Service be liable for any claims or damages resulting from your scheduling of these types of payments. The Service Guarantee as it applies to any late payment related charges is void when these types of payments are scheduled and/or processed by the Service. The Service has no obligation to research or resolve any claim resulting from an exception payment. All research and resolution for any misapplied, mis-posted or misdirected payments will be the sole responsibility of you and not of the Service.

BILL DELIVERY AND PRESENTMENT

This feature is for the presentment of electronic bills only and it is your sole responsibility to contact your Billers directly if you do not receive your statements. In addition, if you elect to activate one of the Service's electronic bill options, you also agree to the following:

Information provided to the Biller - The Service is unable to update or change your personal information such as, but not limited to, name, address, phone numbers and e-mail addresses, with the electronic Biller. Any changes will need to be made by contacting the Biller directly. Additionally it is your responsibility to maintain all usernames and passwords for all electronic Biller sites. You also agree not to use someone else's information to gain unauthorized access to another person's bill. The Service may, at the request of the Biller, provide to the Biller your e-mail address, service address, or other data specifically requested by the Biller at the time of activating the electronic bill for that Biller, for purposes of the Biller informing you about Service and/or bill information.

Activation - Upon activation of the electronic bill feature the Service may notify the Biller of your request to receive electronic billing information. The presentment of your first electronic bill may vary from Biller to Biller and may take up to sixty (60) days, depending on the billing cycle of each Biller. Additionally, the ability to receive a paper copy of your statement(s) is at the sole discretion of the Biller. While your electronic bill feature is being activated it is your responsibility to keep your accounts current. Each electronic Biller reserves the right to accept or deny your request to receive electronic bills.

Authorization to obtain bill data - Your activation of the electronic bill feature for a Biller shall be deemed by us to be your authorization for us to obtain bill data from the Biller on your behalf. For some Billers, you will be asked to provide us with your user name and password for that Biller. By providing us with such information, you authorize us to use the information to obtain your bill data.

Notification - The Service will use its best efforts to present all of your electronic bills promptly. In addition to notification within the Service, the Service may send an e-mail notification to the e-mail address listed for your account. It is your sole responsibility to ensure that this information is accurate. In the event you do not receive notification, it is your responsibility to periodically logon to the Service and check on the delivery of new electronic bills. The time for notification may vary from Biller to Biller. You are responsible for ensuring timely payment of all bills.

Cancellation of electronic bill notification - The electronic Biller reserves the right to cancel the presentment of electronic bills at any time. You may cancel electronic bill presentment at any time. The timeframe for cancellation of your electronic bill presentment may vary from Biller to Biller. It may take up to sixty (60) days, depending on the billing cycle of each Biller. The Service will notify your electronic Biller(s) as to the change in status of your account and it is your sole responsibility to make arrangements for an alternative form of bill delivery. The Service will not be responsible for presenting any electronic bills that are already in process at the time of cancellation.

Non-Delivery of electronic bill(s) - You agree to hold the Service harmless should the Biller fail to deliver your statement(s). You are responsible for ensuring timely payment of all bills. Copies of previously delivered bills must be requested from the Biller directly.

Accuracy and dispute of electronic bill - The Service is not responsible for the accuracy of your electronic bill(s). The Service is only responsible for presenting the information we receive from the Biller. Any discrepancies or disputes regarding the accuracy of your electronic bill summary or detail must be addressed with the Biller directly.

This Agreement does not alter your liability or obligations that currently exist between you and your Billers.

If your monthly financial institution statement contains transfers that you did not authorize, you must tell us at once. If you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after the statement was sent to you, you may lose any amount transferred without your authorization after the sixty (60) days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money had you told us in time. If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) prevented you from telling us, we may extend the period.

You also authorize us to credit your Eligible Transaction Account for the receipt of payments, including but not limited to those payments returned to us from Receivers to whom you sent payment(s) and those payments that were cancelled and returned to you because the processing of the Payment Instruction could not be completed.
3. You acknowledge and agree that if your Payment Instructions identify an account by name and account number, the relevant financial institution may execute those Payment Instructions by reference to the account number only, even if such account number does not correspond to the account name. You further acknowledge and agree that financial institutions holding the account may choose to not investigate discrepancies between account names and account numbers and that we have no responsibility to investigate discrepancies between account names and account numbers.
4. You agree that we will not be liable in any way for any payments that you may receive, regardless of whether you authorized the Sender to send them to you.
5. We will use reasonable efforts to complete all your Payment Instructions properly. However, we shall incur no liability if we are unable to complete any transaction because of the existence of any one or more of the following circumstances:
6. It is the responsibility of the Sender and the Receiver to ensure the accuracy of any information that they enter into the Service (including but not limited to the Payment Instructions and name, telephone number and/or email address for the Receiver to whom you are attempting to send a payment), and for informing us as soon as possible if they become aware that this information is inaccurate. We will make a reasonable effort to stop or recover a payment made to the wrong person or entity once informed, but we do not guarantee such stoppage or recovery and will bear no responsibility or liability for damages resulting from incorrect information entered by the Sender or Receiver.
Initiation of Payment Instructions. You may initiate (a) a one-time Payment Instruction to a Receiver for which processing shall be initiated immediately, (b) a one-time Payment Instruction to a Receiver for which processing shall be initiated at a later specified date up to one (1) year, and (c) a recurring series of Payment Instructions to a Receiver for which processing shall be initiated on the specified dates. Further details about each of these options can be found on the Site.

Payment Instructions initiated to Receivers are processed in two ways. You can provide all the required information about the Receiver, including his/her Eligible Transaction Account, necessary to complete a transfer of funds. Alternatively, you can provide contact information about the Receiver (including an email address and/or mobile telephone number) and the Popmoney Service may contact the Receiver and request that the Receiver (i) provide information so that we may validate the identity of the Receiver at the Popmoney Website and then (ii) provide Eligible Transaction Account information in order to complete the Payment Instruction (a "Two-Step Transfer"). If the Receiver maintains an Eligible Transaction Account with an institution that participates in or offers the Popmoney Service, the Receiver may access the Popmoney Service at his or her financial institution's website or mobile application to complete the Payment Instruction and receive the payment.

You understand and agree that when you initiate a Payment Instruction from an Eligible Transaction Account using the Popmoney Service, the processing of the Payment Instruction will begin and the debiting of your Eligible Transaction Account will occur as early as the day of such initiation. However, the payment funds will be transferred into the Receiver's Eligible Transaction Account no earlier than the next Business Day after you initiated the Payment Instruction. If you request a one-time Payment Instruction to be initiated on a specified date or a recurring series of Payment Instruction to be initiated on specified dates, then the processing of the Payment Instruction will begin on the specified date and the debiting of your Eligible Transaction Account will occur as early as the specified date(s). However, the payment funds will be transferred into the Receiver's Eligible Transaction Account no earlier than the next Business Day following the specified date. In addition, in the case of all Two-Step Transfers, the deposit of the payment funds into the Receiver's Eligible Transaction Account (even if debited or withdrawn from your Eligible Transaction Account) , or receipt of a gift card, if applicable, may be delayed if the Receiver has not provided the Popmoney Service with certain required information such as his or her Eligible Transaction Account information, or, in the case of a gift card, if applicable, a valid U.S. street address for gift cards that are physically delivered. The Site may contain additional information regarding the delivery of a payment to an Eligible Transaction Account or the delivery of a gift card, if applicable.

You acknowledge and agree that we will begin to process the requested transfer of funds once the Receiver has provided (or we otherwise obtain) all required information, and you hereby authorize and direct us to retain such funds until the earlier of such time as the Receiver has provided (or we otherwise obtain) all required information or ten (10) business days. You further acknowledge and agree that our receipt of money to be transmitted to a Receiver shall not be deemed to have occurred and our obligation to complete a Payment Instruction shall not begin until such time as the Receiver provides us with (or we otherwise obtain) all required information necessary to process the related Payment Instruction in accordance with this Agreement. Any cancellation of a Payment Instruction prior to the Receiver providing us with such information shall be subject to the provisions of section 20, below.
Receiving Payments. If another person wants to initiate a Payment Instruction (including in response to a Popmoney Request, if applicable) using the Popmoney Service to an Eligible Transaction Account you hold or, as applicable, if you as a Requestor want to initiate a Popmoney Request, he, she or you can do that from the Site or from an Eligible Transaction Account at a financial institution that participates in the Popmoney Service or at the Popmoney Website. Or, as applicable, if another person wants to send you a gift card using the Service, he or she can do that from an Eligible Transaction Account at a financial institution that participates in the Service and makes available the purchase of gift cards through the Service.

You understand and agree that there may be a delay between the time you are notified of the pending Payment Instruction and the deposit of the payment funds into your Eligible Transaction Account, and you may be required to take additional steps to facilitate the deposit of the payment of funds into your Eligible Transaction Account. You authorize the Sender, the financial institution which holds the Sender's Eligible Transaction Account and us (including through the Site) to send emails to you and text messages to your mobile phone in connection with the Sender's initiation of Payment Instructions to you, and, as a Receiver, you may also receive gift cards or Popmoney Requests, each as applicable, from others through the Service.

You acknowledge and agree that in the event that funds are transferred into your Eligible Transaction Account as a result of a Payment Instruction and it is determined that such transfer was improper because it was not authorized by the sender, because there were not sufficient funds in the sender's account, or for any other reason, then you hereby authorize us or our Service Provider to withdraw from your Eligible Transaction Account an amount equal to the amount of funds improperly transferred to you.

If applicable, if you as a Requestor initiate a Popmoney Request using the Service you acknowledge and agree that as disclosed on the Site (a) the applicable service fee will be deducted from payments received by you from a Sender(s), and (b) no service fee will be charged if you as the Requestor do not receive any payments from the individuals to whom the Popmoney Request is sent. Further details about the foregoing can be found on the Site. You acknowledge and agree that individuals to whom you send a Popmoney Request may not receive, or otherwise may reject or ignore, your Popmoney Request. We do not guarantee that you will receive any payments from individuals by initiating a Popmoney Request.
Payment Methods and Amounts. There are limits on the amount of money or gift card value you can send or receive through our Service. Your limits may be adjusted from time-to-time at our sole discretion. You may log in to the Site to view your individual transaction limits. We also reserve the right to select the method in which to remit funds on your behalf, and the method to return funds to you in the event that your Eligible Transaction Account is closed or otherwise unavailable to us. These payment methods may include, but may not be limited to, an electronic or paper check payment.

Payment Cancellation, Stop Payment Requests and Refused Payments. Sender may cancel the initiation of a Payment Instruction or stop a Payment Instruction at any time until the processing of the Payment Instruction into the Receiver's Eligible Transaction Account has begun. Our ability to stop a Payment Instruction or recover funds associated with an unauthorized Payment Instruction will depend on the manner in which the Payment Instruction was initiated, and whether the Payment Instruction to the Receiver's Eligible Transaction Account has begun processing. Although we will make a reasonable effort to accommodate a stop payment request and to recover funds associated with an unauthorized Payment Instruction, we will have no liability for failing to do so. We may also require you to present your stop payment request or request to recover funds in writing within fourteen (14) days after contacting customer care. The charge for each stop payment or fund recovery request will be the current charge for such stop payment or funds recovery service as set out in the applicable fee schedule or as disclosed through the Site. Payments not claimed by a Receiver will be automatically cancelled ten (10) days after the processing of the payment begins. When a Sender initiates a Payment Instruction, the Receiver is not required to accept the payment. You agree that you as a Sender will not hold us liable for any damages resulting from a Receiver's decision to accept or not to accept a Payment Instruction initiated or attempted through the Service. We will, to the extent permitted by law, make reasonable attempts to return any unclaimed, refused, refunded, prohibited, or denied payment to your Eligible Transaction Account or use other reasonable efforts to return such payment to you as permitted by law.

Your Liability For Unauthorized Transfers. Immediately following your discovery of an unauthorized Payment Instruction, you shall communicate with customer care for the Service in the manner set forth in section 7, above. You acknowledge and agree that time is of the essence such situations. If you tell us within two (2) Business Days after you discover your password or other means to access your account through which you access the Service has been lost or stolen, your liability is no more than $50.00 should someone access your account without your permission. If you do not tell us within two (2) Business Days after you learn of such loss or theft, and we can prove that we could have prevented the unauthorized use of your password or other means to access your account if you had told us, you could be liable for as much as $500.00. If your monthly financial institution statement contains payments that you did not authorize, you must tell us at once. If you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after the statement was sent to you, you may lose any amount transferred without your authorization after the sixty (60) days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money had you told us in time. If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) prevented you from telling us, we may in our sole discretion extend the period.

Mobile Phone Users. Your phone service provider is not the provider of the Service. Users of the Service will receive text messages relating to their Payment Instructions and other notices from time to time if a mobile phone number is provided. Data and messaging charges from your telecommunications provider may apply, and you are responsible for any such charges. In the event your enrolled mobile device is lost or stolen, you agree to update your enrollment information and make the appropriate changes to disable the use of such device. You understand that there are risks associated with using a mobile device, and that in the event of theft or loss, your confidential information could be compromised. If you have questions about mobile service, you may send a text message with the word "HELP" to this number: 767666. To stop receiving text messages on your mobile phone, text "STOP" to this number: 767666.

Taxes. It is your responsibility to determine what, if any, taxes apply to the transactions you make or receive, and it is your responsibility to collect, report and remit the correct tax to the appropriate tax authority. We are not responsible for determining whether taxes apply to your transaction, or for collecting, reporting or remitting any taxes arising from any transaction.

Service Fees and Additional Charges. You understand and agree that you are responsible for paying all fees associated with your use of the Service. Applicable fees will be disclosed in the user interface for, or elsewhere within, the Service or Site. YOU FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT ANY APPLICABLE FEES WILL BE CHARGED REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE PAYMENT INSTRUCTION IS COMPLETED, UNLESS THE FAILURE TO COMPLETE THE INSTRUCTION IS SOLELY DUE TO OUR FAULT, except for those fees that are specifically use-based, such as Request Money, if applicable. There may be a charge for additional transactions and other optional services. You agree to pay such charges and authorize us to deduct the calculated amount from your designated Eligible Transaction Account for these amounts and any additional charges that may be incurred by you. Any financial fees associated with your standard deposit accounts (or Other Eligible Transaction Accounts) will continue to apply. You are responsible for any and all telephone access fees and/or Internet service fees that may be assessed by your telephone and/or Internet service provider.

Failed Or Returned Payment Instructions. In using the Service, you are requesting us to attempt to make payments for you from your Eligible Transaction Account. If we are unable to complete the Payment Instruction for any reason associated with your Eligible Transaction Account (for example, there are insufficient funds in your Eligible Transaction Account, or the Payment Instruction would exceed the credit or overdraft protection limit of your Eligible Transaction Account, to cover the payment), the Payment Instruction may not be completed. In some instances, you will receive a return notice from us. In each such case, you agree that:
1. You will reimburse us immediately upon demand the amount of the Payment Instruction if we have delivered the payment to the Receiver but there are insufficient funds in, or insufficient overdraft credits associated with, your Eligible Transaction Account to allow us to complete the debit processing;
2. For any amount not reimbursed to us within fifteen (15) days of the initial notification, a late charge equal to one and a half percent (1.5%) monthly interest or the legal maximum, whichever rate is lower, for any unpaid amounts may be imposed;
3. You may be assessed a fee by our Service Provider and by us if the Payment Instruction cannot be debited because you have insufficient funds in your Eligible Transaction Account, or the transaction would exceed the credit or overdraft protection limit of your Eligible Transaction Account, to cover the payment, or if we cannot otherwise collect the funds from you; the fee amount will be as set forth in your fee schedule from us (including as disclosed on the Site) or your account agreement with us. You hereby authorize us to deduct these amounts from your designated Eligible Transaction Account, including by ACH debit;
4. You will reimburse us for any fees or costs we incur in attempting to collect any amounts from you; and
5. We are authorized to report the facts concerning the return to any credit reporting agency.
Address or Banking Changes. It is your sole responsibility and you agree to ensure that the contact information in your user profile is current and accurate. This includes, but is not limited to, name, physical address, phone numbers and email addresses. Changes can be made within the user interface of the Service or by contacting customer care for the Service as set forth in section 7 above. We are not responsible for any payment processing errors or fees incurred if you do not provide accurate Eligible Transaction Account, Payment Instructions or contact information.

Refused Payments. We reserve the right to refuse to pay any Receiver. We will attempt to notify the Sender promptly if we decide to refuse to pay a Receiver designated by the Sender. This notification is not required if you attempt to make a prohibited payment under this Agreement.

Returned Payments. In using the Service, you understand that Receivers may reject Payment Instructions or otherwise return payments. We will use reasonable efforts to complete Payment Instructions initiated through the Service.

Information Authorization. Your enrollment in the Service may not be fulfilled if we cannot verify your identity or other necessary information. Through your enrollment in the Service as a Sender, you agree that we reserve the right to request a review of your credit rating at our own expense through an authorized bureau. In addition, and in accordance with our Privacy Policy, you agree that we reserve the right to obtain personal information about you, including without limitation, financial information and transaction history regarding your Eligible Transaction Account. You further understand and agree that we reserve the right to use personal information about you for our and our Service Providers' everyday business purposes, such as to maintain your ability to access the Service, to authenticate you when you log in, to send you information about the Service, to perform fraud screening, to verify your identity, to determine your transaction limits, to perform collections, to comply with laws, regulations, court orders and lawful instructions from government agencies, to protect the personal safety of subscribers or the public, to defend claims, to resolve disputes, to troubleshoot problems, to enforce this Agreement, to protect our rights and property, and to customize, measure, and improve the Service and the content and layout of the Site. Additionally, we and our Service Providers may use your information for risk management purposes and may use, store and disclose your information acquired in connection with this Agreement as permitted by law, including (without limitation) any use to effect, administer or enforce a transaction or to protect against or prevent actual or potential fraud, unauthorized transactions, claims or other liability. We and our Service Providers shall have the right to retain such data even after termination or expiration of this Agreement for risk management, regulatory compliance, audit reasons and as permitted by applicable law for everyday business purposes. In addition we and our Service Providers may use, store and disclose such information acquired in connection with the Services in statistical form for pattern recognition, modeling, enhancement and improvement, system analysis and to analyze the performance of the Services.

Service Termination, Cancellation, or Suspension. If you wish to cancel the Service, you may contact us as set forth in section 7 above. Any payment(s) that have begun processing before the requested cancellation date will be processed by us. You agree that we may terminate or suspend your use of the Service at any time and for any reason or no reason.

Disputes. In the event of a dispute regarding the Service, you and we agree to resolve the dispute by looking to this Agreement.

Arbitration. For any claim (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) where the total amount of the award sought is less than $10,000.00 USD, the party requesting relief may elect to resolve the dispute in a cost effective manner through binding non-appearance-based arbitration. If a party elects arbitration, that party will initiate such arbitration through Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services ("JAMS"), the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), or an established alternative dispute resolution (ADR) administrator mutually agreed upon by the parties. The parties agree that the following rules shall apply: (a) the arbitration may be conducted telephonically, online and/or be solely based on written submissions, at the election of the party initiating the arbitration; (b) the arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties , their representatives or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties; (c) discovery shall not be permitted; (d) the matter shall be submitted for decision within ninety (90) days of initiation of arbitration, unless otherwise agreed by the parties, and the arbitrator must render a decision within thirty (30) days of submission; and (e) any award in such arbitration shall be final and binding upon the parties and may be submitted to any court of competent jurisdiction for confirmation. The parties acknowledge that remedies available under federal, state and local laws remain available through arbitration. NO CLASS ACTION, OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR JOINDER OR CONSOLIDATION OF ANY CLAIM WITH A CLAIM OF ANOTHER PERSON SHALL BE ALLOWABLE IN ARBITRATION.

Law and Forum for Disputes. Unless our account agreement with you states otherwise, this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State in which you reside, without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions. To the extent that the terms of this Agreement conflict with applicable state or federal law, such state or federal law shall replace such conflicting terms only to the extent required by law. Unless expressly stated otherwise, all other terms of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Unless our account agreement with you states otherwise, you agree that any claim or dispute you may have against us (other than those which are arbitrated under section 37 above) must be resolved by a court located in the county in which you reside. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of litigating all claims or disputes unless said claim is submitted to arbitration under section 37 of this Agreement. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this Agreement. Both parties agree to waive any right to have a jury participate in the resolution of any dispute or claim between the parties or any of their respective Affiliates arising under this Agreement.

Indemnification. You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless us and our Affiliates and Service Providers and their Affiliates and the employees and contractors of each of these, from any loss, damage, claim or demand (including attorneys fees) made or incurred by any third party due to or arising out of your breach of this Agreement and/or your use of the Site or the Service.

Release. You release us and our Affiliates and Service Providers and the employees and contractors of each of these, from any and all claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature arising out of or in any way connected with any dispute that may arise between you or one or more other users of the Site or the Service. In addition, you waive California Civil Code §1542, which states that a general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if not known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.

No Waiver. We shall not be deemed to have waived any rights or remedies hereunder unless such waiver is in writing and signed by one of our authorized representatives. No delay or omission on our part in exercising any rights or remedies shall operate as a waiver of such rights or remedies or any other rights or remedies. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar or waiver of any rights or remedies on future occasions.

THE SITE AND SERVICE AND RELATED DOCUMENTATION ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

Popmoney Instant Payments is only available for Payment Instructions submitted by a Sender to a Receiver (and not via a Popmoney Request). Not all Payment Networks participate in Popmoney Instant Payments. Popmoney Instant Payments are not instantaneous. Payment delivery speed may vary based upon the funds availability policy of each financial institution and Payment Network availability.

Payment Authorization and Payment Remittance. We are not responsible for the performance, speed, or other acts or omissions of the Payment Networks. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, Popmoney Instant Payments settlements are final except as set forth in the applicable Payment Network rules and recovery may not be possible; however, if applicable Payment Network rules allow for reversal of funds, we will attempt to recover such funds from the Receiver's Eligible Transaction Account. We shall not be obligated to comply with the Automated Clearinghouse (ACH) Rules in such recovery efforts or otherwise in connection with Popmoney Instant Payments. We are only responsible for delivery of the applicable Payment Instructions to the applicable Payment Network in the format required by the applicable Payment Network's specifications. We will choose the Payment Networks in which we will participate in our sole discretion.

Initiation of Payment Instructions. For Popmoney Instant Payments, you can initiate a one-time Payment Instruction to a Receiver for which processing shall be initiated immediately using (i) the Receiver's email address or mobile number, and the Popmoney Service will validate the Popmoney Instant Payments eligibility of the Receiver prior to transferring the funds; or (ii) the Receiver's debit card information, and the funds will be deposited into the Receiver's checking or savings account affiliated with the debit card.

Payment Cancellation, Stop Payment Requests and Refused Payments. Popmoney Instant Payments Payment Instructions may not be cancelled as the Payment Instructions will be processed immediately.

This Agreement applies to your use of the Service and the portion of the Site through which the Service is offered. By accessing the Service, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to this Agreement. Please read this Agreement carefully. This Agreement outlines the legally binding terms and conditions for your use of the Service.
Service Providers. We are offering you the Service through one or more "Service Providers" that we have engaged to render some or all of the Service to you on our behalf. You agree that we have the right under this Agreement to delegate to Service Providers all of the rights and performance obligations that we have under this Agreement, and that the Service Providers will be intended third party beneficiaries of this Agreement and will be entitled to all the rights and protections that this Agreement provides to us. "Service Provider" and certain other terms are defined in a "Definitions" section at the end of this Agreement.
Amendments. We may amend this Agreement and any applicable fees and charges for the Service at any time by posting a revised version on the Site. The revised version will be effective at the time it is posted unless a delayed effective date is expressly stated in the revision. Any use of the Service after a notice of change will constitute your agreement to such changes. Further, we may, from time to time, revise or update the Service and/or related applications or material, which may render all such prior versions obsolete. Consequently, we reserve the right to terminate this Agreement as to all such prior versions of the Service, and/or related applications and material and limit access to only the Service's more recent revisions and updates. We also reserve the right to terminate the Service in its entirety.
Our Relationship With You. We are an independent contractor for all purposes, except that we act as your agent with respect to the custody of your funds for the Service. We do not guarantee the identity of any user of the Service (including but not limited to Accounts to which you send payments).
Assignment. You may not transfer or assign any rights or obligations you have under this Agreement without our prior written consent, which we may withhold in our sole discretion.

We may also assign or delegate certain of our rights and responsibilities under this Agreement to independent contractors or other third parties.

You agree that we may provide notice to you by posting it on the Site, sending you an in-product message within the Service, emailing it to an email address that you have provided us, or by mailing it to any postal address that you have provided us. For example, users of the Service may receive certain notices (such as notice and receipt of transfers) as text messages on their mobile device. All notices by any of these methods shall be deemed received by you no later than twenty-four (24) hours after they are sent or posted, except for notice by postal mail, which shall be deemed received by you no later than three (3) business days after it is mailed. You may request a paper copy of any legally required disclosures and you may terminate your consent to receive required disclosures through electronic communications by contacting us as described in section 27 below.

We reserve the right to close your account if you withdraw your consent to receive electronic communications.
Calls to You. By providing us with a telephone number (including a mobile number), you consent to receiving autodialed and prerecorded message calls from us at that number for non-marketing purposes. For example, we or our Service Provider may contact you in connection with validating or processing a transaction that you've requested through the Service.
Receipts and Transaction History. You may view at least six months of your transaction history with the applicable Service Provider by logging into your account and looking at your account transaction history. You agree to review your transactions by this method instead of receiving receipts by mail.

You agree that you are independently responsible for complying with all applicable laws in all of your activities related to your use of the Service, regardless of the purpose of the use. In addition, you are prohibited from using the Service for activities that: (a) violate any law, statute, ordinance or regulation; (b) payments related to illegal gambling, illegal gaming and/or any other illegal activity with an entry fee or a prize, including, but not limited to casino games, sports betting, horse or greyhound racing, lottery tickets, other ventures that facilitate gambling, games of skill and sweepstakes (c) violate any property or proprietary right of any third party, including any copyright, trademark, or right of publicity or privacy under the laws of any jurisdiction; (d) impose an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our infrastructure; (e) facilitate any viruses, trojan horses, worms or other computer programming routines that may damage, detrimentally interfere with, surreptitiously intercept or expropriate any system, data or information; (f) constitute use of any robot, spider, other automatic device, or manual process to monitor or copy the Service or the portion of the Site through which the Service is offered without our prior written permission; (g) constitute use of any device, software or routine to bypass technology protecting the Site or Service, or interfere or attempt to interfere, with the Site or the Service; or (h) may cause us or our Service Providers to lose any of the services from our internet service providers, payment processors, or other vendors. We encourage you to provide notice to us by the methods described in section 27 below of any violations of this section or this Agreement generally. In no event shall we or our Service Providers be liable for any claims or damages resulting from or related to your violation of the acceptable uses of the Service or this Agreement. We and our Service Providers reserve the right to monitor and remove any comments you post or submit through the Service.
Transfer Authorization and Processing. (a) The Service enables you to transfer funds: (i) between your Accounts that you maintain with us; and (ii) between your Account(s) that you maintain with us on the one hand, and your Account(s) that are maintained by other financial institutions, on the other hand. You represent and warrant that you are the sole owner (and not a joint tenant) of the Transaction Account and the Recipient Account and that you have all necessary legal right, power and authority to transfer funds from the Transaction Account to the Recipient Account. Further, you represent and warrant that the Recipient Account is located in the United States. (b) When we receive a Transfer Instruction from you, you authorize us to debit your Transaction Account and remit funds on your behalf to the Recipient Account designated by you and to debit one of your Accounts as described below in Section 18 (Service Fees and Additional Charges). You also authorize us to reverse a transfer from your Recipient Account if the debit is returned from the Transaction Account for any reason, including but not limited to nonsufficient funds. (c) We will use reasonable efforts to make all your transfers properly. However, we shall incur no liability if we are unable to complete any transfers initiated by you because of the existence of any one or more of the following circumstances:
1. If, through no fault of ours, the Transaction Account does not contain sufficient funds to complete the transfer or the transfer would exceed the credit limit of your overdraft account;
2. The Service is not working properly and you know or have been advised by us about the malfunction before you execute the transaction;
3. The transfer is refused as described in section 14 below;
4. You as a Sender have not provided us with the correct information, including but not limited to the correct Transaction Account or Recipient Account information; and/or,
5. Circumstances beyond our control (such as, but not limited to, fire, flood, network or system down time, issues with the financial institution(s), or interference from an outside force) prevent the proper execution of the transfer and we have taken reasonable precautions to avoid those circumstances. (d) It is your responsibility to ensure the accuracy of any information that you enter into the Service, and for informing us as soon as possible if you become aware that this information is inaccurate. You may not use a P.O. Box as a postal address. We will make a reasonable effort to stop or recover a transfer made to the wrong Recipient Account once informed, but we do not guarantee such recovery and will bear no responsibility or liability for damages resulting from incorrect information entered by you.
Transfer Methods and Amounts. We may, at our sole discretion, impose limits on the amount of money you can transfer through our Service. We also reserve the right to select the method in which to transfer funds on your behalf, and the method to return funds to you in the event that the Recipient Account is closed or otherwise unavailable to us.
Transfer Cancellation Requests and Refused Transfers. You may cancel a transfer at any time until it begins processing (as shown in the Service). We will, to the extent permitted by law, make reasonable attempts to return any unclaimed, refused, refunded, prohibited, or denied transfer to your Transaction Account. If this is unsuccessful (for example, the Transaction Account has been closed) we will make reasonable attempts to mail you a paper check. If after ninety (90) days (or longer, depending on our then-current standard for unclaimed checks) that check has not been cashed, we will stop payment on it and transfer funds to an "unclaimed funds" account, and will subsequently handle the unclaimed funds as required or otherwise permitted by applicable law.
Stop Payment Requests. If you as a Sender desire to stop any transfer that has already been processed, you must contact member care for the Service pursuant to section 27. Although we will make a reasonable effort to accommodate your request, we will have no liability for failing to do so. We may also require you to present your request in writing within fourteen (14) days. The charge for each request will be the current charge for such service as set out in the applicable fee schedule.
Your Liability For Unauthorized Transfers. If you tell us within two (2) Business Days after you discover your password or other means to access your Account has been lost or stolen, your liability is no more than $50.00 should someone access your Account through the Service without your permission. If you do not tell us within two (2) Business Days after you learn of such loss or theft, and we can prove that we could have prevented the unauthorized use of your password or other means to access your account if you had told us, you could be liable for as much as $500.00. If your monthly financial institution statement contains transfers that you did not authorize, you must tell us at once. If you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after the statement was sent to you, you may lose any amount transferred without your authorization after the sixty (60) days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money had you told us in time. If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) prevented you from telling us, we may in our sole discretion extend the period.
Taxes. It is your responsibility to determine what, if any, taxes apply to transfers you make or receive, and it is your responsibility to collect, report and remit the correct tax to the appropriate tax authority. We are not responsible for determining whether taxes apply to your transfers, or for collecting, reporting or remitting any taxes arising from any transfer.
Service Fees and Additional Charges. Applicable fees will be disclosed in the user interface for the Service. Any applicable fees will be charged regardless of whether the Service was used, except for fees that are specifically use-based. There may be a charge for additional transactions and other optional services. You agree to pay such charges and authorize us to deduct the calculated amount from the applicable Account you hold with us, whether a Transaction Account or Recipient Account, for these amounts and any additional charges that may be incurred by you. If we hold both the Transaction Account and the Recipient Account, then you authorize us to deduct such amounts and charges from the Transaction Account. Any financial fees associated with your standard deposit accounts will continue to apply. You are responsible for any and all telephone access fees and/or Internet service fees that may be assessed by your telephone and/or Internet service provider.
Failed Or Returned Transfers. In using the Service, you are requesting us to make transfers for you from your Transaction Account. If we are unable to complete the transfer for any reason associated with your Transaction Account (for example, there are insufficient funds in your Transaction Account to cover the transaction), the transfer may not be completed. In some instances, you will receive a return notice from us. In each such case, you agree that: (a) You will reimburse us immediately upon demand the transfer amount that has been returned to us; (b) For any amount not reimbursed to us within fifteen (15) days of the initial notification, a late charge equal to one and a half percent (1.5%) monthly interest or the legal maximum, whichever rate is lower, for any unpaid amounts may be imposed; (c) You may be assessed a fee by our Service Provider and by us if the transfer is returned because you have insufficient funds in your Transaction Account to cover the requested transfer or if we cannot otherwise collect the funds from you; the fee amount will be as set forth in your fee schedule from us or your Account agreement with us. You hereby authorize us to deduct these amounts from your designated Transaction Account by ACH debit; (d) You will reimburse us and our Service Provider for any fees or costs we or they incur in attempting to collect the amount of the return from you; and, (e) We and our Service Provider are authorized to report the facts concerning the return to any credit reporting agency.
Address or Banking Changes. It is your sole responsibility and you agree to ensure that the contact information in your user profile is current and accurate. This includes, but is not limited to, name, address, phone numbers and email addresses. Changes can be made either within the application or by contacting member care for the Service. Any changes in your Transaction Account or Recipient Account should also be made in accordance with the procedures outlined within the Service's help files. All changes made are effective immediately. We are not responsible for any transfer processing errors or fees incurred if you do not provide accurate Transaction Account, Recipient Account, or contact information.
Refused Transfers. We reserve the right to refuse any transfer to a Recipient Account. We will notify you promptly if we decide to refuse to transfer funds to a Recipient Account. This notification is not required if you attempt to make a prohibited transfer under this Agreement.
Returned Transfers. In using the Service, you understand transfers may be returned for various reasons such as, but not limited to, Recipient Account number is not valid. We will use reasonable efforts to research and correct the transfer to the intended Recipient Account or void the transfer and credit your Transaction Account. You may receive notification from us.

Waiver of Jury Trial. Both parties agree to waive any right to have a jury participate in the resolution of any dispute or claim between the parties or any of their respective Affiliates or any intended third party beneficiary arising under or relating to this Agreement.
Waiver of Class Action Claims. Both parties agree to waive any right to assert any dispute or claim against the other party or any intended third party beneficiary arising under or relating to this Agreement as a class action.
Arbitration. Both parties agree to resolve any dispute or claim between the parties or any of their respective Affiliates or any Service Provider or other intended third party beneficiary arising under or relating to this Agreement through binding arbitration. Both parties stipulate and agree that this Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce, and that the Federal Arbitration Act applies. The arbitration award shall be final and binding and judgment thereon may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction. The only exceptions to this arbitration agreement are as follows: a. We and you expressly agree that under no circumstances shall any dispute or claim arising under or relating to this Agreement be subject to arbitration on a classwide or collective basis. Only the disputes or claims of individual parties may be arbitrated. b. We or you may, at the option of the claiming party, pursue any claim in small claims court instead of arbitration, provided that the claim must not exceed $5,000 or the jurisdictional limit of the small claims court, whichever is less; and the small claims court must otherwise have jurisdiction of the claim and the parties.
Arbitration Procedure. You or we may commence arbitration, at the claiming party's election, administered either by JAMS (formerly known as "Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services"), or the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). The arbitration shall take place before a single arbitrator, selected pursuant to the selection procedures in the applicable commercial or consumer arbitration rules of the administrator (JAMS or AAA). The JAMS or AAA rules, shall apply subject only to the following exceptions and modifications. a. You may, if you wish, commence arbitration pursuant either to (i) the AAA Consumer Arbitration Procedures, or (ii) the JAMS "minimum standards" for consumer arbitration. In all such consumer arbitrations we will pay the balance of the applicable arbitration administrative fee to the extent required by the JAMS or AAA procedures or standards you have chosen. b. You or we (whoever is the party commencing the arbitration) may elect to resolve the dispute in a cost effective manner through binding non-appearance-based arbitration. If the claiming party selects non-appearance-based arbitration, the parties agree that the following rules shall apply: (i) the arbitration may be conducted telephonically, and/or online, or be based solely on written submissions, at the election of the party commencing the arbitration; (ii) the arbitration shall not require any travel or personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties; and (iii) discovery shall not be permitted. c. When we or you (whoever is the party commencing arbitration) do not select non-appearance-based procedures, the parties agree that there shall be no discovery except whatever discovery the arbitrator determines is necessary for fair resolution of the claim or dispute. d. Neither we nor you shall seek any award of attorney's fees, including an award of fees from any Service Provider or other intended third party beneficiary of this Agreement, in any arbitration claim arising under or relating to this Agreement, except that the arbitrator may award attorney's fees when (and only to the extent that) the applicable law requires an award of attorney's fees to the prevailing party.
Arbitrability Issues to Be Decided By Arbitrator. The Arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable.
Law and Forum for Disputes. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions. To the extent that the terms of this Agreement conflict with applicable state or federal law, such state or federal law shall replace such conflicting terms only to the extent required by law. Unless expressly stated otherwise, all other terms of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. You agree that any claim or dispute you may have against us (other than those which are arbitrated under section 31 above) must be resolved by a court located in Gwinnett County, Georgia. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this Agreement.
Indemnification. You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless us and our Affiliates and Service Providers and the officers, directors, agents, employees, representatives, and contractors of each of these, from any loss, damage, claim or demand (including attorneys fees) made or incurred by any third party due to or arising out of your breach of this Agreement and/or your use of the Site or the Service.
Release. If you have a dispute with one or more other users of the Site or the Service, you release us and our Affiliates and Service Providers and the employees and contractors of each of these, from any and all claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. In addition, you waive and release any and all provisions, rights and benefits conferred either (i) by §1542 of the California Civil Code, which reads: "Section 1542. General release; extent. A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor;" or (ii) by any law of any state or territory of the United States, or principle of common law, which is similar, comparable or equivalent to §1542 of the California Civil Code.
No Waiver. We shall not be deemed to have waived any of our rights or remedies hereunder unless such waiver is in writing and signed by one of our authorized representatives. No delay or omission on our part in exercising any rights or remedies shall operate as a waiver of such rights or remedies or any other rights or remedies.
