This Privacy Policy describes the types of "Personal Information" (information that is identifiable to a particular person) that is collected by Fiserv Solutions, LLC as a service provider to your Biller (directly or through its service providers) in connection with the Site and the Service as defined in the “Terms and Conditions for Service” above, and how that Personal Information is used, shared and protected. Some of this information is required by U.S. federal or other law.

ELIGIBILITY:

The eligibility requirements for the Site and the Service are set forth above in the Eligibility section of the main body of the Agreement. We do not knowingly collect any Personal Information from or about individuals under 18 years of age. Please do not submit such information to us, and as a parent or legal guardian, please do not allow your children to submit personal information without your permission.

COOKIES, BROWSER INFORMATION AND RELATED ISSUES:

When you visit the Site, we may receive certain standard information that your browser sends to every website you visit, such as the originating IP address, browser type and language, access times and referring website addresses, and other such information. This data may be used, among other uses, to improve the operation of the Site and to improve the security of the Site and Service by assisting in "authenticating" who you are when you access the Site or Service.

We may also receive additional information about your visit to the Site, including the pages you view, the links you click and other actions you take in connection with the Site and the Services. This data may be used, among other uses, to improve the operation of the Site and the Service.

Like most websites, the Site also uses "cookies," which are small data files placed on your computer or other device by the web server when you visit the Site.

The Site does not use “persistent” cookies (that stay on your computer after you have logged off the Site). Cookies cannot and will not be used to deliver or run programs on your computer.

This date can be current or in the future.

ELIGIBILITY

The Site and the Service are offered only to individuals who can form legally binding contracts under applicable law and, with respect to Payments made using checking, savings, or debit cards, use bank accounts held at FDIC or equivalent insured United States depository institutions. Without limiting the foregoing, the Service is not offered to minors. Commercial entities, including without limitation commercial payment aggregators, may not use the Site or Service, with the exception that an authorized representative of a commercial entity who holds a Biller Account may use the Site or Service to initiate a Payment to such commercial entity’s own Biller Account. By using the Service, you represent that you meet these requirements and that you agree to be bound by this Agreement. You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless for all costs and fees (including without limitation interchange fees and merchant fees) arising out of your violation of this Section.

PAYMENT AUTHORIZATION, PAYMENT REMITTANCE AND FEES:

You authorize us to follow the Payment Instructions received from you. When we receive a Payment Instruction from you, you authorize us to debit or charge your Funding Account for the amount of any Payment plus any related fees in effect at the time you initiate the Payment Instruction, and to remit funds on your behalf. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT A FEE MAY BE CHARGED TO YOU TO PROCESS PAYMENTS PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT. ANY SUCH FEES WILL BE DISPLAYED TO YOU PRIOR TO FINALIZING THE PAYMENT INSTRUCTION. YOU HEREBY AGREE TO PAY ANY SUCH APPLICABLE FEES WHICH MAY BE CHARGED REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE PAYMENT INSTRUCTION IS COMPLETED. You also authorize us to credit your Funding Account, in the event that any Payments are returned to us because the processing of the Payment Instruction could not be completed. In order to process Payments more efficiently and effectively, we may edit or alter payment data or data formats. You certify that any Funding Account you add to your profile or otherwise utilize in connection with the Service is an account from which you are authorized to make payments, and any Payment you make using the Service will debit/charge a Funding Account that you are legally authorized to use. We will use reasonable efforts to complete your Payments properly. However, we shall incur no liability 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 or other reasons identified in this Agreement:

1. If your Funding Account does not contain sufficient funds to complete the transaction or the transaction would exceed the credit limit of your overdraft account;

2. If our payment processing center is not working properly and you know or have been advised about the malfunction before you execute the transaction;

3. If you have not provided us with the correct Funding Account information, other required information;

4. If your debit/credit card is expired;

5. If circumstances beyond our control (such as, but not limited to, fire, flood, or other acts of God, third party systems, or interference from an outside force) prevent the proper execution of the transaction; and/ or

6. If you failed to follow our instructions for the use of the Service.

Provided none of the foregoing exceptions are applicable, if we cause an incorrect amount of funds to be removed from your Funding Account or cause funds from your Funding Account to be directed in a manner that does not comply with your Payment Instructions, our sole responsibility to you shall be to return the improperly transferred funds to your Funding Account or to direct any previously misdirected Payments to the Biller.

You are responsible for ensuring that there are sufficient funds available in your Funding Account to cover any amount you authorize for payment. If you do not have sufficient funds in your Funding Account, your Payment may not be processed. Your Payment may not be processed after a credit or debit card’s expiration date, if it is not updated by you prior to such date, unless we are able to obtain updated information from your card issuer. You authorize us to receive such updated credit or debit card information where available. In the event your Payment is not processed for any reason, including the failure to obtain an authorization from your card issuer or financial institution, or you have not provided us with the correct information, your liability shall remain outstanding and unpaid and you will be subject to all applicable penalties, late fees and interest charges assessed thereon, all of which obligations remain your sole responsibility.

Any fees associated with your Funding Account, including without limitation any assessed by your financial institution or credit card issuer, will continue to apply. You are also 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 in connection with your utilization of the Service.

PAYMENT CANCELLATION REQUESTS:

You may be permitted to cancel or edit a Payment until such time as the processing of the Payment Instruction has begun. If permitted, there is no charge for canceling or editing a Payment prior to the processing of the Payment Instruction.

RETURNED PAYMENTS:

In using the Service, you understand that payments may be returned for various reasons, such as, but not limited to, the Biller Account number is not valid; we are unable to locate your Biller Account; or your Biller Account is paid in full. We will use reasonable efforts to research and correct the returned payment, or void the payment and credit your Funding Account. You may receive notification regarding any such returned payments. You may be assessed fees by us or your financial institution as the result of any returns or insufficient funds related to your Funding Account, or charges refused by a card network.

You are responsible for all Payments you authorize using the Service or that are made using your access credentials. If you permit Authorized Users or other persons to use the Service, you are responsible for any transactions they authorize. If you believe that your access or access credentials to the Service has been lost, stolen, or otherwise compromised or that someone has transferred or attempted to transfer money without your permission, you must notify customer care at once.

Consequently, we reserve the right to terminate this Agreement as to all such prior versions of the applications, services, and/or related material and limit access to only the Service's more recent revisions and updates. You authorize us to send or provide by electronic communication any notice, communication, amendment or replacement to the Agreement, or disclosure required to be provided orally or in writing to you. Your use of the Service may be terminated or suspended at any time for any reason or no reason. Neither termination nor suspension shall affect your liability or obligations under this Agreement.

PAYMENT DISPUTES

If you dispute a Payment made from a Funding Account, you acknowledge that such dispute (including, but not limited to, chargeback or fraud) must be taken up with your issuing debit/credit card provider or financial institution. We are not responsible for any research or resolution of such payment disputes.

ARBITRATION:

For any claim (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the parties must resolve the dispute in a cost effective manner through binding non-appearance-based arbitration. The party commencing arbitration will initiate such arbitration through the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") or an established alternative dispute resolution (ADR) administrator mutually agreed upon by the parties. The parties agree that 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.

Notwithstanding this Arbitration section, in the event you are a commercial or corporate entity, including without limitation a commercial payment aggregator, we reserve the right to bring a claim against you outside of arbitration and in any forum.

GOVERNING LAW

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, 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. In the event of such replacement, all other terms of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. 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, which instead shall be brought under the Arbitration clause set forth above.
