PAYMENT
AUTHORIZATION AND PAYMENT REMITTANCE
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. For Bill Payments only, if you choose to utilize a Payment Account that
is a credit card account, you understand and acknowledge that the Service does not
perform any identity verification on such credit card accounts. 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 that any Payment
Account you add to your profile is an account from which you are authorized to make
payments, and any payment you make using the Service will debit/charge a Payment
Account that you are legally authorized to use. The Service will use its best 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:
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.

METHODS
The Service reserves the right to select the method in which to remit funds on your

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, if there are insufficient funds
in your Payment Account to cover the transaction), the transaction may not be completed.
YOUR LIABILITY
FOR UNAUTHORIZED TRANSFERS
Your Biller will be performing customer care functions for the Service. Thus, if
you believe there have been unauthorized transfers related to your Payment Account
and/or Biller Account related to the Service, you should notify your Biller"s customer
care department directly. If your monthly financial institution contains transfers
through the Service that you did not authorize, you must tell your Biller at once.
If you do not tell your Biller within ninety (90) days after the statement was sent
to you, you may lose any amount transferred through the Service without your authorization
after the ninety (90) days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from
taking the money had you told the Biller in time.
