You just can't pay your electic bill any more. You either need to let
them into your bank account so they can take money when ever the mood
comes to them, or you have to sell out your privacy and rights (and be
charged 3.00). They will not take a standard check through the mail
either. They convert those to ACH... I always end up running to
downtown Brooklyn and paying cash... which of course, is presently not
possible.

held at FDIC or equivalent insured United States depository
institutions. Without limiting the foregoing, the Service is not offered

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, or 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.
OVERPAYMENT ADJUSTMENT:
You agree that you shall not intentionally schedule a Payment in excess
of the greater of (i) the amount due on the Billing Statement or (ii)
the total balance owed on your account. You acknowledge that we may
refuse to process any such overpayment or, we may adjust the Payment
amount down to the amount due at time of payment processing as to avoid
overpayments.
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.
PAYMENT WALLET
The Payment Wallet allows you to save your Funding Account for use in
making future Payments. If you elect to use Payment Wallet, the
following terms apply:
1. Adding Funding Accounts You authorize the addition of Funding
Accounts to your profile when received from you. The first Funding
Account that you add to your profile shall be your “Default Funding
Account,” unless you later designate a different Funding Account as your
Default Funding Account. If your identity cannot be verified
satisfactorily, the Service may not allow you to add a specific type of
Funding Account to your profile.
2. Funding Account Number and Expiration Date Changes It is your sole
responsibility and you agree to ensure that the information maintained
in your Payment Wallet is and remains accurate. If your Funding Account
number changes or your credit or debit card expiration date changes, you
agree to make updates to your Payment Wallet. You also authorize us to
acquire such new or additional information regarding your accounts from
our financial services partners and authorize the update of your Funding
Account information accordingly. All changes made by you or acquired by
us will be effective for future Payments paid using the Payment Wallet.

Payments. If you choose to enroll for either Auto Pay Payments or
Recurring Payments, or if you initiate a Scheduled Payment, an email

Please note the following:
1. Payments must be made by the Due Date or you may be assessed a late fee.

result of delivery failures. (e.g., spam blockers or incorrect email
address).
4. It is your sole responsibility to ensure that all Funding Account

an in-product message within the Service, emailing them to an email

amended from time to time by posting a revised version on the Site or

to affirmatively accept the revised Agreement in order to continue using

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)

binding upon the parties and may be submitted to any court of competent
jurisdiction for confirmation. The parties acknowledge that remedies

GENERAL ACTION, OR JOINDER OR CONSOLIDATION OF ANY CLAIM WITH A CLAIM OF
ANOTHER PERSON SHALL BE ALLOWABLE IN ARBITRATION.

against you outside of arbitration and in any forum.

the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this Agreement. Both
