CanPay Services. Subject to the terms and conditions of these Terms, you are hereby granted a non-exclusive, limited, non-transferable, freely revocable license to use the Services as permitted by the features of the Services. CanPay reserves all rights not expressly granted herein in the Services and the CanPay Content (as defined below).

(a) Non-commercial Use. You may only use the Services for your own personal, non-commercial use and not on behalf of or for the benefit of any third party.

(b) General. When you make a purchase via the App (a “Transaction”), you expressly authorize us to charge you for such Transaction. In addition to your Account information, we may request additional information to process your Transaction including information about your Bank Account as defined below, address, or other information necessary to initiate a Transaction (such information, “Transaction Information”). You represent and warrant that you have the legal right to use all payment method(s) represented by any such Transaction Information. You agree to be responsible for paying any applicable sales and use taxes, and any applicable shipping and handling fees that may apply to your purchase.

(c) Returns and Maintaining Sufficient Funds. When using the Services, you understand and agree that it may take more than 60 days for CanPay to receive notice of the return or reversal of an ACH debit and/or to exercise any rights granted or reserved under these Terms. You agree at all times to maintain sufficient funds to satisfy all obligations in connection with your Account or your use of the Services, including payments, returns, disputes, , and associated fees, and to add funds immediately if CanPay notifies you that your funds are insufficient. CanPay is not responsible for overdraft or other fees that your financial institution may charge you for canceled, declined, or returned transactions or otherwise.

(d) Declined Payments and Collections. During your access and/or use of the Services, you may encounter a declined payment. A declined payment may be the result of insufficient funds in your Bank Account, a closed Bank Account, inability to locate your Bank Account, a dispute, or a reversal or denial for any reason by your financial institution. If your payment is declined for any reason, you will be notified via email and/or phone call; and, provided CanPay has not identified that you have engaged in prohibited conduct, CanPay will (i) disable your account and (ii) attempt to process the Transaction again (a “Representment”) using any and all payment options that have been connected to your CanPay account. A successful Representment will resolve the declined payment. An unsuccessful Representment will result in your account to remain disabled until the payment is resolved. In that instance, CanPay may, in its sole and absolute discretion, also take one or more of the following actions: (i) refuse to perform further Services, (ii) initiate another Representment(s), (iii)  charge you a penalty fee for each occurrence, (iv) report this information to any and all credit agencies and/or financial institutions, (v) immediately terminate this Agreement and your ability to use the Services; and/or (vi) engage a collection agency to pursue owed funds. If you request to remove your account while you have an outstanding declined payment(s), CanPay will not honor the request until the declined payment(s) is resolved.

(e) Merchant Purchases. We facilitate your ability to make payments to third party merchants. We do not hold, transfer, disperse, or otherwise process funds on your behalf.

(f) Refunds and Reversals. All refunds are processed by merchants unless otherwise required by law. CanPay is not responsible for making any refunds or reversing any payments.  You understand that once a Transaction is processed, we are not able to reverse the Transaction through our Services or otherwise provide a refund in any way for the Transaction. If an ACH debit from your bank account to fund a payment requested by you through the Services is rejected or reversed for any reason, YOU AUTHORIZE CANPAY TO REVERSE THE CORRESPONDING PAYMENT TO YOU VIA DEBIT FROM YOUR PAYMENT ACCOUNT, OR IF THERE ARE INSUFFICIENT FUNDS IN YOUR PAYMENT ACCOUNT AT THE TIME OF DEBIT, YOU AGREE TO PAY THE AMOUNT OF THE PAYMENT BACK TO CANPAY WITHIN 5 BUSINESS DAYS. You represent and warrant that CanPay may resubmit a rejected or reversed funding debit to the Customer’s account, in CanPay’s sole discretion. You also agree to pay all penalties, interest charges, late payment fees and service fees related to any rejected, reversed or returned funding ACH debit.

Debits will also be initiated to pay for any sales, use or other taxes payable on merchant transactions, and for adjustments to these various amounts. You authorize us to direct your designated financial institution (“Bank Account”) to: (a) charge each Transaction and/or Debit to Bank Account and (b) respond to our inquiries regarding Bank Account. You agree that Bank Account is located in the United States, and that all Transactions will be to accounts located in the United States.

(e) Bank Verification. Prior to processing any Transaction, we may verify Bank Account information. The verification process may include sending you texts, voice calls, or automated/pre-recorded voice calls. If you provided your mobile phone number to us, you agree we may send such communications to that number. You agree that as part of the verification process we may: (i) verify Bank Account information by debiting between $0.01 and $1.00 from Bank Account, then crediting an amount equal to or more than the same amount back to Bank Account, and requesting you to verify the amount debited and credited, and/or (ii) verify Bank Account using your login credentials to your financial institution and we may also ask you questions pertaining to your bank balance and/ or recent debit transactions. We will only use this verification process to screen for fraud and will not otherwise debit Bank Account, except for your use of Services. You hereby grant us a limited power of attorney to initiate the actions in this Section as part of the bank verification process.

(f) You further authorize us to: (i) initiate transactions with Bank Account to collect Transactions, reinitiate, or initiate a new Debit to Bank Account if any Debit is returned for insufficient funds or uncollected funds, (ii) credit Bank Account when necessary, at our sole discretion, for any refund amount due to you, and/or (iii) to send Transactions, electronically or by any other commercially accepted method, to the appropriate financial institution(s). If CanPay tells you that an account number or other information concerning your Transactions has changed, you must use this corrected information in the future to initiate Transactions.

(g) We may: (i) establish security limits on Transactions, such as a maximum number or dollar amount, (ii) change security limits from time to time without disclosing such changes, and (iii) refuse to process your Transactions if we reasonably believe Bank Account balance is insufficient to cover the amounts due or for any other reason we deem reasonable. We may in our sole discretion process any Transactions that have not been settled after these Terms are terminated.

(h) This ACH authorization will remain in full force and effect until we receive your written notification of termination in such time and manner as to afford CanPay a reasonable opportunity to act on your termination notice.

(i) If any amount payable by you is dishonored or returned for any reason, such as, but not limited to, non-sufficient funds, account closed, inability to locate account, or reversal by you and/or your bank, CanPay may: (i) reverse any corresponding credit issued to a merchant without liability to us, (ii) reverse a Transaction, (iii) refuse to perform further Services, (iv) initiate another debit in substitution for the dishonored debit until the debit is honored and to initiate separate debits to cover any NSF fee or dishonored Transaction, (v) charge you a one-time insufficient funds penalty fee for each occurrence, (vi) report this information to any and all credit agencies and/or financial institutions, and/or (viii) immediately terminate this Agreement.

CanPay Spin to Win Sweepstakes Official Rules.  Sponsored by Trusted Debit, LLC dba “CanPay” (“Sponsor”). NO ENTRY FEE. NO PURCHASE OR OBLIGATION NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED. THIS PROMOTION IS IN NO WAY SPONSORED, ENDORSED OR ADMINISTERED BY, OR ASSOCIATED WITH FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM, TWITTER OR ANY OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA SITES WHERE THIS SWEEPSTAKES MAY BE COMMUNICATED.

The CanPay Spin to Win (the “Sweepstakes”) begins on March 1, 2023, at 12:00AM Pacific Time (“PT”) and will continue until such time that Sponsor terminates the Spin to Win Sweepstakes or otherwise modifies it (the “Sweepstakes Period”). Sponsor’s clock will be the official timekeeper for the Sweepstakes.

(A) Agreement to Official Rules By entering or participating in the Sweepstakes, you [(and, if you are a Minor (as defined below) your parent or legal guardian)] accept and agree to be bound by these “Official Rules,” the CanPay Terms of Service, which can be found at here (the “CanPay Terms”), and all other terms associated with the CanPay Terms (both of which are herein incorporated by reference). All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meaning given to them in CanPay Terms. The CanPay Terms apply only to a winner’s use of the Prize after the Prize has been fulfilled by Sponsor

(B) Eligibility and How to Enter Log into your CanPay account during the Sweepstakes Period and make an Eligible Transaction. You will then have the option to click “Spin” to enter into the Sweepstakes. You will receive one instant win entry opportunity per Eligible Transaction, and will be immediately notified of a winning outcome, subject to verification of eligibility as defined in Section G. To participate, you must agree to the CanPay Terms of Service located at here and Privacy Policy located at here.

All entries become property of Sponsor, and none will be acknowledged or returned. Entries generated by script, macro or other automated or mechanical means or with the intent to subvert the entry process are void. Entrants submitting multiple entries or violating any of these Official Rules may be disqualified. Proof of submission of an entry does not constitute proof of receipt.

(C) Prize Drawing All Sweepstakes entries meeting the requirements of these Official Rules will be immediately entered into the Sweepstakes drawing in effect at the time the entry is received as described in Section B. The prize drawing for each Spin is provided to you immediately following the Spin. The drawing will be conducted by a computer program that randomly chooses the potential prize per Spin and all eligible entries received and the random selection is final and binding. Each winner is considered a potential winner pending verification of his/her eligibility and compliance with these Official Rules. If a Prize is won by a Minor, it will be awarded to a parent or guardian on the Minor’s behalf.

(D) Prizes and Odds The value of Prizes are presented to you at the time of Spin or in such manner as Sponsor determines, and odds of winning are variable and provided to you at the time of the Spin in such manner as solely determined by Sponsor. All Prizes are non-transferable, and no cash or other substitution of Prizes is permitted, except at the sole discretion of Sponsor for a prize of equal or greater value. Sponsor will not replace any lost or stolen Prizes. Winners are solely responsible for any and all federal, state, provincial and local taxes, if any, that apply to Prizes. You (and, if you are a Minor, your parent or legal guardian) agree to provide Sponsor with any additional information and complete any required tax or other forms relating to your receipt of a Prize.

(E) Notification of Winners Potential winners will be notified immediately via the CanPay account following each Spin, and as a condition of being awarded a Prize. Sponsor will attempt to notify winners as provided above, however, without limiting any other terms of these Official Rules, Sponsor assumes no responsibility for undeliverable prize notifications. If a potential winner (and if entrant is a Minor, potential winner’s parent or legal guardian, as applicable) cannot be contacted, is ineligible, fails to claim a Prize, fails to complete any required affidavit of eligibility or publicity/liability release within the days specified in the notification or thirty (30) days after such notification, whichever comes first, and/or fails to comply with any of the requirements, a Prize may be forfeited and an alternate potential winner may be randomly selected from remaining valid, eligible entries received.

(F) Delivery of Prizes. Each winner (and, if a winner is a Minor, such winner’s parent or legal guardian) is responsible for maintain a CanPay account in good standing to ensure proper delivery of a Prize. Sponsor, without limiting any other terms of these Official Rules, assumes no responsibility for failure to deliver or otherwise make available any Prize. Prizes are delivered once the underlying CanPay enabled transaction and/or purchase with the third-party merchant is considered cleared by us (e.g., typically 5 business days) (“Eligible Transaction”). For avoidance of doubt, Eligible Transactions do not include any CanPay enabled purchase/transaction that was reversed or otherwise failed to settle using CanPay’s banking partners. If a winner does not maintain a CanPay account in good standing or does not have an Eligible Transaction, the winner will forfeit the Prize. Prizes will be transferred to the winner’s CanPay account immediately upon winner verification. Upon Prize forfeiture, or inability to use a Prize or portion thereof by an entrant, no compensation will be given, and Sponsor will have no further obligation to such entrant.

(G) Disclaimers and Limitations on Liability.

(i) Sponsor is not responsible for (i) late, lost, delayed, damaged, incomplete, incorrect, illegible, misdirected or undeliverable entries, responses, or other correspondence, whether by email or otherwise; (ii) theft, destruction, unauthorized access to or alterations of entry materials; or (iii) phone, electrical, network, computer, hardware, software program or transmission malfunctions, failures or difficulties or any technical hardware or software failures of any kind, which may limit a person’s ability to participate in the Sweepstakes.

Limitation of Liability.

(a) Limitation of Liability IN NO EVENT SHALL CANPAY BE LIABLE TO YOU, YOUR ORGANIZATION OR INDIVIDUAL, ANY USER, OR ANY THIRD PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SERVICE, FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF INCOME, DATA, PROFITS, REVENUE OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, OR OTHER ECONOMIC LOSS, WHETHER OR NOT CANPAY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND WHETHER ANY CLAIM FOR RECOVERY IS BASED ON THEORIES OF CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY) OR OTHERWISE.  CANPAY WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ATTORNEYS’ FEES, EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY LAW.

Each provision of this Agreement that provides for a limitation of liability, disclaimer of warranties, or exclusion of damages is intended to and does allocate the risks between the parties under this Agreement. Each of these provisions is severable and independent of all other provisions of this Agreement. All limitations of liability, disclaimers of warranties, and exclusions of consequential damages or other damages or remedies will remain fully valid, effective and enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, even under circumstances that cause an exclusive remedy to fail of its essential purpose.  SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF DAMAGES, LIABILITY OR CERTAIN WARRANTIES IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. ACCORDINGLY, IN THOSE JURISDICTIONS, SOME OF THESE EXCLUSIONS OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY.

Governing Law and Forum Choice. These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, federal arbitration law, and the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 22 “Dispute Resolution,” the exclusive jurisdiction for all Disputes (defined below) that you and CanPay are not required to arbitrate will be the state and federal courts located in the United States, and you and CanPay each waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts.

Dispute Resolution.

(a) Mandatory Arbitration of Disputes. We each agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Services (collectively, “Disputes”) will be resolved solely by binding, individual arbitration and not in a class, representative or consolidated action or proceeding. You and CanPay agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these Terms, and that you and CanPay are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms.

(b) Exceptions. As limited exceptions to Section 22(a)above: (i) either party may seek to resolve a Dispute in small claims court if it qualifies; and (ii) we each retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court to prevent (or enjoin) the infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property rights.

(c) Conducting Arbitration and Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules are available at adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. A party who wishes to start arbitration must submit a written Demand for Arbitration to AAA and give notice to the other party as specified in the AAA Rules. The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at www.adr.org.

Any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) where you live, unless we both agree to a different location. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to decide all issues relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability and scope of this arbitration agreement.

(d) Arbitration Costs. Transaction of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules, and we won’t seek to recover the administration and arbitrator fees we are responsible for paying, unless the arbitrator finds your Dispute frivolous. If we prevail in arbitration, we’ll pay all of our attorneys’ fees and costs and won’t seek to recover them from you. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable law.

(e) Injunctive and Declaratory Relief. Except as provided in Section 22(b) above, the arbitrator shall determine all issues of liability on the merits of any claim asserted by either party and may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. To the extent that you or we prevail on a claim and seek public injunctive relief (that is, injunctive relief that has the primary purpose and effect of prohibiting unlawful acts that threaten future injury to the public), the entitlement to and extent of such relief must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. The parties agree that litigation of any issues of public injunctive relief shall be stayed pending the outcome of the merits of any individual claims in arbitration.

(f) Class Action Waiver. YOU AND CANPAY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, if the parties’ dispute is resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator may not consolidate another person’s claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.  If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Dispute Resolution section shall be null and void.

(g) Severability. With the exception of any of the provisions in Section 22(e)of these Terms (“Class Action Waiver”), if an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction decides that any part of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of these Terms will still apply.

(b) Entire Agreement.

(d) Waiver of Rights. CanPay’s failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of such right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of CanPay. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.
