2. TERMS AND CONDITIONS SPECIFIC TO THE BILL PAYMENT SERVICE

   BILL PAYMENT SERVICE Definitions

   "Authorized User" means you and any individual who you allow to use the Service or your password or other means to access the BILL PAYMENT SERVICE.

   "Bill Payment" is a payment that is initiated by you through the BILL PAYMENT SERVICE to a Biller.

   "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.

   "Billing Statement" is the statement typically sent by the Biller to you indicating, among other things, how much you owe and when your payment is due.

   "Electronic Bill" is the electronic version of a Billing Statement delivered to you via the BILL PAYMENT SERVICE.

   "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 (including, for example, the checking, money market, savings or other direct deposit account or debit card account) from which bill payments will be debited, or the credit card account to which bill payments will be charged, and to which any related credits will be made, as applicable.

   "Billing Account" is the Payment Account from which all Service fees will be automatically debited or charged.

   "Business Day" is every Monday through Friday, excluding Federal Reserve holidays or other days that banks are legally closed.

   "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 if the Scheduled Payment Date falls on a non-Business Day, the Scheduled Payment Date 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.

   1. 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.

   2. 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 Biller 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.

   3. 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 certify and confirm that any Payment Account you add to your profile is an account from which you are authorized to make Bill Payments, and any Bill Payment you make using the BILL PAYMENT SERVICE will debit/charge a Payment Account that you are legally authorized to use. 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 reasonable 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:

      1. If your Payment Account does not contain sufficient funds to complete the transaction or the transaction would exceed the credit limit or overdraft protection of your Payment Account;
      2. 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;
      3. If a Biller that makes available to you split-payment functionality (in which your Bill Payment may be split and allocated in various ways that such Biller may offer) does not split and/or allocate the payment in accordance with your Payment Instruction;
      4. 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,
      5. 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 related to a Bill Payment, as described under the section above entitled “The Service Guarantee”.
      

   4. 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, 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).

   5. 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.

   6. 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 customer 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.

   7. PROHIBITED PAYMENTS

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

   8. 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.

   9. AUTOMATIC BILL PAYMENTS

      For some Billers, we may provide you the option to set up automatic Bill Payments ("Autopay Program").Depending on each Biller's specifications, you may be able to choose the date on which the Bill Payment will be received by the Biller and/or the option for paying an Electronic Bill, including but not limited to: 1) pay the amount due; 2) pay the minimum amount due; 3) pay the full account balance; or, 4) pay only those Electronic Bills that are less than or equal to an amount set by you as the Authorized User. By enrolling in the Autopay Program, you are authorizing us to initiate automatic deductions based on the autopay instructions you have specified either from your Payment Account. The automatic Bill Payment will be deducted on the date specified by you during Autopay Program enrollment. Upon successful enrollment in the Autopay Program, an email confirmation will be sent to you confirming your enrollment. In the event that automatic Bill Payment cannot be processed for reasons including but not limited to the amount due for an Electronic Bill is greater than the amount limit you set during enrollment, we will notify you via the email associated with your Services' profile so that you can make the Bill Payment using some other method. It is your sole responsibility to ensure that the email address and other contact information listed for your Service profile are accurate and current.

   10. 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 Billing Statements. You understand and acknowledge that we are unable to update or change your personal information such as, but not limited to, name, address, phone numbers and e-mail addresses, that you have established 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 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. Additionally, we may provide to the Biller your e-mail address, service address and other information you provide to us for purposes of the Biller informing you about service and/or bill information or with respect to payment research or fraud investigations. Further, we may provide and use such information, as described in our Privacy Policy, which may be viewed at https://billpay.checkfreeweb.com/imm/LDD/ViewPrivacyPolicy/CFWB2.

       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. In some instances, if you have made a payment to a Biller through the BILL PAYMENT SERVICE, the Biller may elect to send your Billing Statement(s) to you electronically.

       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.

   11. CANCELLATION OF ELECTRONIC BILL NOTIFICATION

       The Biller reserves the right to cancel the presentment of electronic bills at any time. You may cancel electronic bill presentment at any time by following the instructions within the BILL PAYMENT SERVICE. 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. We 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. We will not be responsible for presenting any electronic bills that are already in process at the time of cancellation.

   12. NON-DELIVERY OF ELECTRONIC BILLS(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.

   13. ACCURACY AND DISPUTE OF ELECTRONIC BILL

       We are 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.

   14. YOUR LIABILITY FOR UNAUTHORIZED TRANSFERS

       If you believe your password or other means of access to your BILL PAYMENT SERVICE account (or Payment Account) has been lost or stolen, you should notify us at once in accordance with the methods described in Section C.23. If you tell us within two (2) Business Days after you discover your password or other means to access the BILL PAYMENT SERVICE has been lost or stolen, your liability is no more than $50.00 should someone access your BILL PAYMENT SERVICE account (or Payment 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 BILL PAYMENT SERVICE account (or Payment Account) if you had told us, you could be liable for as much as $500.00. If your monthly financial institution statement associated with your Payment Account contains transfers through the BILL PAYMENT SERVICE 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 through the BILL PAYMENT SERVICE without your authorization after the sixty (60) days if we can demonstrate that we could have stopped someone from taking such funds 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.

   15. SERVICE FEES AND ADDITIONAL CHARGES

       Any applicable fees will be charged regardless of whether the Service was used during the billing cycle. There may be a charge for additional transactions and other optional services. You agree to pay such charges and authorize the Service to deduct the calculated amount from your designated Billing Account for these amounts and any additional charges that may be incurred by you. 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 telecommunications,phone wireless and/or Internet service provider(s).

   16. FAILED OR RETURNED TRANSACTIONS

       In using the Service, you are requesting the Service to make payments for you from your Payment Account. If we are unable to complete the transaction for any reason associated with your Payment Account (for example, there are insufficient funds in your Payment Account to cover the transaction), the transaction may not be completed . In some instances, you will receive a return notice from the Service. In such case, you agree that:

       1. You will reimburse the Service immediately upon demand the transaction amount that has been returned to the Service;
       2. For any amount not reimbursed to the Service within fifteen (15) days of the initial notification, a late charge equal to 1.5% monthly interest or the legal maximum, whichever rate is lower, for any unpaid amounts may be imposed;
       3. You will reimburse the Service for any fees it incurs in attempting to collect the amount of the return from you; and,
       4. We are authorized to report the facts concerning the return to any credit reporting agency.
   17. RETURNED PAYMENTS

The Service will use its best efforts to research and correct the returned payment and return it to your Biller, or void the payment and credit your Payment Account. You may receive notification from the Service.

   18. PAYMENT BY CREDIT CARD

       We may provide you the option to make payments from a Payment Account that is a credit card account (“Credit Card Program”) to certain Billers (“Credit Card Program Billers”). To use the Credit Card Program, you will provide us your credit card account information (including account number, expiration date, and CVV) and, in some cases, the login credentials you use to access your online accounts with the applicable Credit Card Program Billers. By scheduling a Credit Card Program payment through the Service, you authorize and direct the Service, on the Scheduled Payment Date, to use your login credentials to access your account with the Biller and to submit your Payment Account information to the Biller in accordance with your Payment Instructions. 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 in connection with the Credit Card Program because we are unable to access your account with the Biller using login credentials you provided to us, if the Biller otherwise declines or rejects the credit card payment attempt, or as otherwise provided by these Terms of Service. This Section 18 shall apply only to the Credit Card Program. Except for Section 23 (Errors and Questions) of the General Terms and Conditions below, all other provisions, sections, terms and conditions of these Terms of Service shall also apply to the Credit Card Program. For clarity, if you use a credit card as your Payment Account, then Section 23 (Errors and Questions) of the General Terms and Conditions below does not apply, instead, you will need to contact the Biller or the issuer of your credit card to resolve any issues with the credit card payment you made.

   16. 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.
