AccountNow Terms and Conditions and E-Sign Act
Cardholder Agreement
IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

Terms and Conditions/Definitions for the AccountNow® Prepaid Visa® Card or AccountNow® Gold Visa® Prepaid Card
This document constitutes the agreement (“Agreement”) outlining the terms and conditions under which the AccountNow Prepaid Visa Card ("AccountNow Pay as You Go") or AccountNow Gold Visa Prepaid Card (“AccountNow Gold”) has been issued to you. Your Card Account is administered by AccountNow, Inc., which is an Independent Sales Organization (“ISO”) pursuant to an agreement with The Bancorp Bank. AccountNow provides certain support and marketing services for the Card. By accepting and using the Card, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement. “Card” means the AccountNow Prepaid Visa Card or AccountNow Gold Visa Prepaid Card issued to you by The Bancorp Bank, Wilmington, Delaware. “Issuer” means The Bancorp Bank or its depository institution affiliate. The Issuer is an FDIC insured member institution. “Card Account” means the records we maintain to account for the value of claims associated with the Card. “You” and “your” mean the person or persons who have received the Card and are authorized to use the Card as provided for in this Agreement. “We,” “us,” and “our” mean the Issuer, our successors, affiliates or assignees. “AccountNow” means AccountNow, Inc. You acknowledge and agree that the value available in the Card Account is limited to the funds that you have loaded into the Card Account or have been loaded into the Card Account on your behalf. You agree to sign the back of the Card immediately upon receipt. The expiration date of the Card is identified on the front of your Card. The Card is a prepaid card. The Card is not connected in any way to any other account. The Card is not a credit card. The Card is not for resale. You will not receive any interest on your funds in the Card Account. The Card will remain the property of the Issuer and must be surrendered upon demand. The Card is nontransferable and it may be canceled, repossessed, or revoked at any time without prior notice subject to applicable law. We may refuse to process any transaction that we believe may violate the terms of this Agreement. Our business days are Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays, even if we are open. Write down your Card number and the customer service phone number provided in this Agreement on a separate piece of paper in case your Card is lost, stolen, or destroyed. Please read this Agreement carefully and keep it for future reference.

Obtaining Your Card
The USA PATRIOT Act is a federal law that requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens a Card Account. What this means for you: When you open a Card Account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to reasonably identify you. We may also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents at any time.

Authorized Users
You are responsible for all authorized transactions initiated and fees incurred by use of your Card. If you permit another person to have access to your Card or Card number, we will treat this as if you have authorized such use and you will be liable for all transactions and fees incurred by those persons. You are wholly responsible for the use of each Card according to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Secondary Cardholder
You may request an additional Card for another person. The maximum number of additional Cards permitted is one (1). You must notify us to revoke permission for any person you previously authorized to use the Card. If you notify us to revoke another person’s use of the Card, we may revoke your Card and issue a new Card with a different number. You remain liable for any and all usage of an additional Card you authorize.

Activation
You must activate your Card before it can be used. You may activate your Card by going to www.accountnow.com/activate or calling 1-888-396-9465. You will need to provide personal information in order to verify your identity.

Personal Identification Number
You will not receive a Personal Identification Number (“PIN”) with your Card Account. However, you will receive a PIN once you have activated your Card with your personal information. You should not write or keep your PIN with your Card. Never share your PIN with anyone. When entering your PIN, be sure it cannot be observed by others and do not enter your PIN into any terminal that appears to be modified or suspicious. If you believe that anyone has gained unauthorized access to your PIN, you should advise us immediately following the procedures in the paragraph labeled “Your Liability for Unauthorized Transfers.”

Cash Access
With your PIN, you may use your Card to obtain cash from any Automated Teller Machine (“ATM”) that bears the Visa®, Plus®, or STAR® Acceptance Mark or any Point-of-Sale (“POS”) device, as permissible by merchant, that bears the Visa®, Interlink®, or STAR® Acceptance Mark. All cash withdrawal transactions and other transactions performed at ATMs are subject to applicable fees. The maximum cumulative amount that may be withdrawn from an ATM per day is specified on the Usage Limits section. The maximum cumulative amount that may be withdrawn from a participating bank (over the counter withdrawal) per day is specified on the Usage Limits section. Any funds withdrawn from a POS device will be subject to the maximum amount that can be spent on your Card per day.

Loading Your Card
You may add funds to your Card, called “value loading”, at any time. The minimum amount of the initial value load is $0.01. The minimum amount of each value reload is $0.01. There are limits on the amount you may value load on your Card. There are also limits on the number of times you may value load your Card. Please refer to the Usage Limits section. For purposes of the limits on value loading, your value loads are aggregated with any other Cards you have authorized. You may add value or load your Card via direct deposit, Automated Clearing House (ACH) transfer from a checking or savings account, via cash or via Card-to-Card transfer. You will have access to your funds within one (1) hour after a cash load, and immediately upon completing a Card-to-Card transfer. Funds loaded by direct deposit or ACH transfer from a checking or savings account are available the same business day they are received by AccountNow. All value loads are subject to verification, which could delay your access to your funds. You may find additional information on how to initiate a value load or where to load the Card or the timeframe for each loading method by visiting http://www.accountnow.com/help/help-addingmoney.aspx. Personal checks, cashiers checks, and money orders sent to the Issuer are not an acceptable form of loading. All checks and money orders sent to the Issuer for Card loading will be returned unless the full amount may be applied towards a negative balance, in which case the check or money order may or may not be loaded to the Card at the discretion of the Issuer.

Direct Deposit Account Number
Your prepaid Card Account and associated direct deposit account number cannot be used for preauthorized direct debits from merchants or from utility or Internet service providers. If presented for payment, these preauthorized direct debits will be declined and your payment to the merchant or provider will not be processed. The bank routing number and direct deposit account number are for the purpose of initiating direct deposits to your prepaid Card Account only. You are not authorized to provide this bank routing number and direct deposit account number to anyone other than your employer or payer, or representatives authorized to transmit this information to your employer or payer.

Using Your Card/Features
There is a maximum amount that can be spent on your Card per day and a maximum value on the Card. Please refer to the Usage Limits section.

You may use your Card to purchase or lease goods or services wherever Visa debit cards, Interlink cards, or STAR cards are accepted as long as you do not exceed the value available on your Card Account. Some merchants do not allow cardholders to conduct split transactions where you would use the Card as partial payment for goods and services and pay the remainder of the balance with another form of legal tender. If you wish to conduct a split transaction and it is permitted by the merchant, you must tell the merchant to charge only the exact amount of funds available on the Card to the Card. You must then arrange to pay the difference using another payment method. Some merchants may require payment for the remaining balance in cash. If you fail to inform the merchant that you would like to complete a split transaction prior to swiping your Card, your Card is likely to be declined.

If you use your Card at an automated fuel dispenser (“pay at the pump”), you may avoid preauthorization holds of up to $100.00 or more by paying for your purchase inside with the cashier. If you use your Card at a restaurant, a hotel, for a car rental purchase, or for similar purchases, the merchant may preauthorize the transaction amount for the purchase amount plus up to 20% or more to ensure there are sufficient funds available to cover tips or incidental expenses incurred. Any preauthorization amount will place a “hold” on your available funds until the merchant sends us the final payment amount of your purchase. Once the final payment amount is received, the preauthorization amount on hold will be removed. It may take up to seven (7) days for the hold to be removed. During the hold period, you will not have access to the preauthorized amount.

If you use your Card number without presenting your Card (such as for a mail order, telephone, or Internet purchase), the legal effect will be the same as if you used the Card itself. For security reasons, we may limit the amount or number of transactions you can make on your Card. Your Card cannot be redeemed for cash. You may not use your Card for online gambling or any illegal transaction.

Each time you use your Card, you authorize us to reduce the value available in your Card Account by the amount of the transaction and any applicable fees. You are not allowed to exceed the available amount in your Card Account through an individual transaction or a series of transactions. Nevertheless, if a transaction exceeds the balance of the funds available on your Card, you shall remain fully liable to us for the amount of the transaction and any applicable fees.

You do not have the right to stop payment on any purchase transaction originated by use of your Card. You may not make preauthorized regular payments from your Card Account, except as provided in the terms and conditions of the AccountNow Bill Pay Service. If you authorize a transaction and then fail to make a purchase of that item as planned, the approval may result in a hold for that amount of funds for up to thirty (30) days. All transactions relating to car rentals may result in a hold for that amount of funds for up to sixty (60) days.

Non-Visa Debit Transactions
New procedures are in effect that may impact you when you use your Card at certain merchant locations. In the past, transactions have been processed as Visa debit transactions unless you entered a PIN. Now, if you do not enter a PIN, transactions may be processed as either a Visa debit transaction or as a STAR transaction.

Merchants are responsible for and must provide you with a clear way of choosing to make a Visa debit transaction if they support the option. Please be advised that should you choose to use the STAR network when making a transaction without a PIN, different terms may apply. Certain protections and rights applicable only to Visa debit transactions as described in this Agreement will not apply to transactions processed on the STAR network. Please refer to the paragraph labeled “Your Liability for Unauthorized Transfers” for a description of these rights and protections applicable to Visa debit and non-Visa debit transactions.

To initiate a Visa debit transaction at the POS, swipe your Card through a POS terminal, sign the receipt, or provide your Card number for a mail order, telephone, or Internet purchase. To initiate a non-Visa debit transaction at the POS, enter your PIN at the POS terminal or provide your Card number after clearly indicating a preference to route your transaction as a non-Visa debit transaction for certain bill payment, mail order, telephone, or Internet purchases.

Returns and Refunds
If you are entitled to a refund for any reason for goods or services obtained with your Card, you agree to accept credits to your Card for such refunds and agree to the refund policy of that merchant. If you have a problem with a purchase that you made with your Card, or if you have a dispute with the merchant, you must handle it directly with the merchant. Refunds on purchases should be returned to the original Card used for the purchase. If a purchase is refunded to your Card and your Card was not used in the original transaction, your Card Account may be suspended pending verification of the return and you may be asked to provide supporting documentation.

Card Replacement
If you need to replace your Card for any reason, please contact us at 1-877-984-7465 to request a replacement Card. You will be required to provide personal information which may include your Card number, full name, transaction history, etc. There is a fee for replacing your Card.

Charges Made In Foreign Currencies
If you obtain your funds or make a purchase in a currency other than the currency in which your Card was issued, the amount deducted from your funds will be converted by Visa U.S.A. Inc. into an amount in the currency of your Card. The exchange rate between the transaction currency and the billing currency used for processing international transactions is a rate selected by Visa U.S.A. Inc. from the range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the applicable central processing date, which may vary from the rate Visa U.S.A. Inc. itself receives, or the government-mandated rate in effect for the applicable central processing date. If you obtain your funds or make a purchase in a currency other than the currency in which your Card was issued, the Issuer may assess a foreign currency conversion fee of 2.95% of the transaction amount and will retain this amount as compensation for its services.

Receipts
You should get a receipt at the time you make a transaction using your Card. You agree to retain, verify, and reconcile your transactions and receipts.

Card Account Balance/Periodic Statements
You are responsible for keeping track of your Card Account available balance. Merchants generally will not be able to determine your available balance. It’s important to know your available balance before making any transaction. You may obtain information about the amount of money you have remaining in your Card Account by calling 1-877-984-7465. This information, along with a sixty (60) day history of Card Account transactions, is also available online at my.accountnow.com. You also have a right to obtain a sixty (60) day written history of Card Account transactions by calling 1-877-984-7465 or by writing us at AccountNow Customer Service, P.O. Box 1966, San Ramon, CA 94583. However, there is a fee for this service. You will not automatically receive paper statements.

Confidentiality
We may disclose information to third parties about your Card or the transactions you make:
(1) Where it is necessary for completing transactions;
(2) In order to verify the existence and condition of your Card for a third party, such as merchant;
(3) In order to comply with government agency, court order, or other legal reporting requirements;
(4) If you give us your written permission; or
(5) To our employees, auditors, affiliates, service providers, or attorneys as needed.

Our Liability for Failure to Complete Transactions
If we do not properly complete a transaction from your Card on time or in the correct amount according to our Agreement with you, we will be liable for your losses or damages. However, there are some exceptions. We will not be liable, for instance:
(1) If through no fault of ours, you do not have enough funds available on your Card to complete the transaction;
(2) If a merchant refuses to accept your Card;
(3) If an ATM where you are making a cash withdrawal does not have enough cash;
(4) If an electronic terminal where you are making a transaction does not operate properly, and you knew about the problem when you initiated the transaction;
(5) If access to your Card has been blocked after you reported your Card lost or stolen;
(6) If there is a hold or your funds are subject to legal process or other encumbrance restricting their use;
(7) If we have reason to believe the requested transaction is unauthorized;
(8) If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire, flood, or computer or communication failure) prevent the completion of the transaction, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken; or
(9) Any other exception stated in our Agreement with you.

Your Liability for Unauthorized Transfers
Contact us at once if you believe your Card has been lost or stolen. Telephoning is the best way to minimize your possible losses. If you believe your Card has been lost or stolen, or that someone has transferred or may transfer money from your Card Account without your permission, call us at 1-877-984-7465. Under Visa U.S.A. Inc. Operating Regulations, your liability for unauthorized Visa debit transactions on your Card Account is $0.00 if you notify us within two (2) business days and you are not grossly negligent or fraudulent in the handling of your Card. This reduced liability does not apply to PIN transactions not processed by Visa or ATM cash withdrawals. If you notify us within two (2) business days of any unauthorized transactions, you can lose no more than $50.00 if someone used your Card without your permission. If you do not notify us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Card and we can prove that we could have stopped someone from using your Card without your permission if you had promptly notified us, you could lose as much as $500.00.

Also, if you become aware of and/or your statement shows transactions that you did not make, notify us at once following the procedures in the paragraph labeled, “Information About Your Right to Dispute Errors”. If you do not notify us in writing within sixty (60) days after you become aware of the transaction and/or after the statement was made available to you, you may not get back any value you lost after the sixty (60) days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the value if you had notified us in time and you are grossly negligent or fraudulent in the handling of your Card. If your Card has been lost or stolen, we will close your Card Account to keep losses down.

Other Terms
Your Card and your obligations under this Agreement may not be assigned. We may transfer our rights under this Agreement. Use of your Card is subject to all applicable rules and customs of any clearinghouse or other association involved in transactions. We do not waive our rights by delaying or failing to exercise them at any time. If any provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable under any rule, law, or regulation of any governmental agency, local, state, or federal, the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement shall not be affected. This Agreement will be governed by the law of the State of Delaware except to the extent governed by federal law.

Amendment and Cancellation
We may amend or change the terms and conditions of this Agreement at any time. You will be notified of any change in the manner provided by applicable law prior to the effective date of the change. However, if the change is made for security purposes, we can implement such change without prior notice. We may cancel or suspend your Card or this Agreement at any time. You may cancel this Agreement by returning the Card to us. Your termination of this Agreement will not affect any of our rights or your obligations arising under this Agreement prior to termination. In the event that your Card Account is cancelled, closed, or terminated for any reason, you may request the unused balance to be returned to you via a check to the mailing address we have in our records. There is a fee for this service. The Issuer reserves the right to refuse to return any unused balance amount less than $1.00.

Information About Your Right to Dispute Errors
In case of errors or questions about your electronic transactions, call 1-877-984-7465 or write us at AccountNow Customer Service, P.O. Box 1966, San Ramon, CA 94583, Attention: Disputes as soon as you can, if you think an error has occurred in your Card Account. We must allow you to report an error until sixty (60) days after the earlier of the date you electronically access your Card Account, if the error could be viewed in your electronic history, or the date we sent the FIRST written history on which the error appeared. You may request a written history of your transactions at any time by calling us at 1-877-984-7465 or writing us at AccountNow Customer Service, P.O. Box 1966, San Ramon, CA 94583.

You will need to tell us:
1. Your name and Card Account number.
2. Why you believe there is an error, and the dollar amount involved.
3. Approximately when the error took place.

If you tell us orally, we will require that you send your complaint or question in writing within ten (10) business days.

We will determine whether an error occurred within ten (10) business days after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to forty-five (45) days to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will credit your Card Account within ten (10) business days for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have the money during the time it takes to complete the investigation. If we ask you to put your complaint or question in writing and you do not provide it within ten (10) business days, we may not credit your Card.

For errors involving new Cards, POS transactions, or foreign-initiated transactions, we may take up to ninety (90) days to investigate your complaint or question. For new Card Accounts, we may take up to twenty (20) business days to credit your Card Account for the amount you think is in error.

We will tell you the results within three (3) business days after completing the investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation. You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation. If you need more information about our error-resolution procedures, call us at 1-877-984-7465.

AccountNow® BILL PAY SERVICE TERMS

These Bill Pay Service Terms ("Bill Pay Terms") govern your access to and use of The Bancorp Bank AccountNow Bill Pay Service (“Bill Pay Service”), the AccountNow Bill Pay Website (the "Bill Pay Site"), and our data (the "Data"). The Bill Pay Service is made available to you as a service in association with your Card Account.

Use of Bill Pay Service. During the term of these Bill Pay Terms, you may use the Bill Pay Service and the Bill Pay Site at such time as they are generally available and to obtain and to use the Data solely as permitted by these terms. You are granted no license to use or access our or our service provider's software, data, or property other than for the purposes of using the Bill Pay Service.

Indemnity. You agree to defend, indemnify and hold us and our service providers harmless from and against any third party claims, including any damages, costs, expenses and attorneys' fees arising out of your use of the Bill Pay Service, the Bill Pay Site or the Data.

Usage Limitations, Obligations and Availability. The Bill Pay Service, the Bill Pay Site and the Data are our or our service provider's valuable property and trade secrets. You agree that you will not provide access to the Bill Pay Service to any party other than yourself, and you will take reasonable precautions to safeguard your password ("PIN") and keep it confidential. You agree to use the Bill Pay Service, the Bill Pay Site and the Data only for lawful purposes. You are responsible to provide at your own expense all necessary telephone lines, Internet connection and equipment needed to access the Bill Pay Service. You must maintain the confidentiality of your assigned user name and password for the Bill Pay Service and you are responsible for all charges incurred under your user name and PIN, unless otherwise provided under these terms. The availability of the Bill Pay Service, the Bill Pay Site and the Data may be subject to interruption and delay due to causes beyond our reasonable control.

Changes to the Bill Pay Service and these Bill Pay Terms. We reserve the right to change the Bill Pay Service and these Bill Pay Terms, including fees, in our sole discretion and from time to time, without notice to you except as required by applicable law. If you do not agree to any amendments, you may stop using the Bill Pay Service. Your use of the Bill Pay Service after you are notified of any change will constitute your agreement to the change.

Method of Payment. We will make payments for you either electronically, or using a paper draft drawn on your funds debited from your Card. All payments to certain payees will be solely by check, draft, or similar paper instrument drawn on your funds debited from your Card. Each payee that will be paid in this manner will be identified to you at the time you request us to make a payment to the payee. As used in these Bill Pay Terms, these payments are referred to as "paper payments." The term "electronic funds transfers" means all payments we process for you except paper payments.

Authority to Debit Card. You authorize us to debit funds associated with your Card in order to fund payments that you initiate using the Bill Pay Service. We will charge your Card and you agree to maintain a balance that is sufficient to fund all payments you initiate. You may change the payment date of any single scheduled recurring payment by changing it on the Bill Pay Site at least one (1) business day before the scheduled date of the payment. However, we will continue to charge your Card for that payment and for other recurring payments until the expiration date you set for the payments or the date you cancel the recurring payments through the Bill Pay Service, whichever occurs sooner.

Payment Addresses. We reserve the right to change the address used for paper payments, without notification, in the following situations:
1. The information returned by our address cleansing process determines the format of the address does not comply with the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) standards.
2. We have determined that the address provided is not a valid address for the payee.
3. The payee has closed the address, and provided us (via the USPS) with the new address.
4. We have established a relationship with the payee to send payments to a different address than the one provided on the statement.
In all cases, we attempt to act in a way to expedite the proper posting of your payment.

Fees. There are no transaction fees for using “standard processing” Bill Pay Service. The only applicable fees are Bill Pay Expedited Service fees for expedited Bill Pay Service processing and Bill Pay Stop Payment fees, which are set forth in the Fees and Limitations paragraph above. Fees payable by you for use of the Bill Pay Service will be calculated and deducted automatically by electronic funds transfer from your Card Account.

Our Right to Refuse to Make Payments. You agree not to use the Bill Pay Service to make payments to payees outside the United States (a "Prohibited Payment"). You further agree that the following payments ("Restricted Payments") are discouraged, but may be scheduled at your own risk: (i) tax payments to the Internal Revenue Service or any state or other government agency, (ii) court-ordered payments, such as alimony or child support, or (iii) payments to insurance companies. In the event we make an error in processing a Restricted Payment, you agree that we will not have any responsibility for any negative impact to you and you will be responsible for collecting any overpayment we have forwarded. The fact that we make a mistake in processing a Restricted Payment does not mean that we cannot collect from you or your Card any funds we sent to the payee on your behalf. We will not notify you if you attempt to make a Prohibited Payment or a Restricted Payment and we will not be liable if we do not make a Prohibited Payment or a Restricted Payment. We may refuse to make any payment that we believe to be prohibited by law. If you fail to maintain a balance on the Card that is sufficient to fund any payment that you initiate, we may refuse to make any subsequent payment for as long as we determine to be necessary or appropriate. We also reserve the right and will promptly notify you of our decision to refuse to make any other payment.

Changes to Your Information. You agree to promptly update all your profile information, including but not limited to, name, physical address, and email address. We are not responsible for any mail we forward to your old mailing or email address prior to your update of your profile information.

Term and Termination. You may terminate these Bill Pay Terms by closing your Card or notifying us in writing. We may terminate or discontinue the Bill Pay Service at any time. The termination of the service shall not affect any fees or charges already due to us from you.

Disclaimer of Warranty. YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT USE OF THE BILL PAY SERVICE, THE BILL PAY SITE AND THE DATA IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK, AND THE BILL PAY SERVICE, THE BILL PAY SITE, AND THE DATA ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITH NO WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF AVAILABILITY, RELIABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Limitation of Liability. IN NO EVENT WILL WE OR OUR SERVICE PROVIDERS BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS (EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY THEREOF) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE BILL PAY SERVICE. OUR AND OUR SERVICE PROVIDERS’ TOTAL, AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU IS LIMITED TO THE AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF FEES YOU HAVE PAID WHILE USING THE BILL PAY SERVICE DURING THE THREE (3) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO YOUR CLAIM.

Live Agent Assistance. Should you authorize or request an agent of AccountNow to process a bill pay transaction via the phone you acknowledge that you are wholly responsible for the accuracy of the data and the transaction itself.

You must select the processing date for any payment, or specify a payment rule in the system that automatically selects this date for you. This date should be at least six (6) business days prior to the payment due date to ensure that there is enough time for the payee to receive and post the payment. As we cannot control the U.S. Postal Service or other aspects of the various systems and processes that together ensure that your payments get from us to your payee, we cannot guarantee that any payment will be received by the payment due date, and we are not responsible for any costs, expenses or other damages you incur if your payment is not received by the payee on or before the payment due date. However, if you have followed our rules, allow us sufficient time to make the payment, and we have issued you a confirmation number for a payment, we will reimburse you for any late charge assessed to you because we do not send that payment, up to a maximum of $50.00 per late payment, unless we are not responsible to you for one of the reasons listed below. We may require that you provide us with satisfactory written documentation of any late fee before making reimbursement to you.

THIS IS OUR ONLY OBLIGATION TO YOU FOR ANY PAYMENT DELAYS OR FAILURE. IN ADDITION, IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THESE RULES OR IF YOU DO NOT ALLOW US ENOUGH TIME TO COMPLETE A PAYMENT, YOU ALONE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PENALTIES OR LATE CHARGES ON THAT PAYMENT. We may set an expiration date (usually ninety (90) days from date of issue) for any payment check we send to a payee. If we do this, we may stop payment of the check if the payee does not cash the check on or before the expiration date. We will then notify you and issue a credit to your Card for the amount of the check.

We are not responsible for any failure to complete or delay in completing any payment due to any of the following:
1. Your Card does not contain sufficient funds to complete the transaction.
2. Your Card is closed.
3. We identify you as a credit risk and choose to complete all your payments by paper means, or to terminate your use of the Bill Pay Service.
4. The payee rejects or returns the payment for any reason.
5. Your equipment, software or any communications link is not working properly.
6. The Bill Pay Service is unavailable and you know or we have told you about the problem before you send the payment.
7. You have provided us with incorrect information about the payee you wish to pay.
8. The payee mishandles or delays handling or posting any payment we send.
9. Circumstances beyond our control (for example, fire, flood, interference from an outside source, postal delays) prevent or delay the transfer or payment from being completed.

We may set a maximum dollar amount for payment and/or refuse to permit any payment if we reasonably believe such refusal is necessary or advisable for security reasons. If you make an overpayment that causes a credit to an account with your payee, you will be responsible to make appropriate arrangements with the payee to receive a refund of the credit or have it applied against future balances. You will remain responsible to reimburse us for any negative balance resulting from funds we have paid on your behalf.

Other Provisions. Neither these Bill Pay Terms nor any portion hereof shall be assigned, sublicensed or otherwise transferred by you without our prior written consent. If any provision of these Bill Pay Terms is unenforceable, the validity and enforceability of the other provisions shall not be affected. Failure of any party to enforce any provision of these Bill Pay Terms shall not be construed as a waiver of such provision or of the right to enforce such provision. These Bill Pay Terms shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of South Dakota without regard to conflicts of laws provisions. You hereby consent to the jurisdiction of the state courts of South Dakota and the federal courts within the state with respect to any claim relating to these Bill Pay Terms. The Disclaimer of Warranty, Indemnity and the Other Provisions sections of these Bill Pay Terms shall survive the termination of these Bill Pay Terms. The parties agree that communications relating to the Bill Pay Terms sent via email constitute a "writing" for all purposes, including the giving of notice, hereunder.
