By enrolling in or using the Service, You acknowledge and consent to Our Privacy
Notice, which governs Our collection, use, sharing, and protection of Your
information.
The provisions of the Data Processing Addendum are incorporated herein by
reference. The Data Processing Addendum is supplemental to and comprises an
integral part of this Agreement, and reflects the parties’ agreement with
respect to BILL’s Processing of Personal Data, as those terms are defined in the
Data Processing Addendum.
2. Consent to Electronic Communications
Through this Agreement, You consent to accept electronic communications as
described in Our Consent to Electronic Delivery of Communications and Use of
Electronic Signatures No Control Over Third-Party Services.
3. Using the Service
3.1 The Service. The Service includes a platform that enables You to make
payments to third parties (Your “Vendors”), receive payments from third parties
(Your “Customers”), and manage (on Your own behalf or on behalf of third parties
who authorize You to do so) accounts payable and accounts receivable
electronically. BILL is a money services business and a licensed money
transmitter in the United States and Canada, and a provider of money
transmission services in the US and Canada. Your level of access to the features
and functions offered through the Service will depend on Your BILL account type,
if any, how You interact with the Service and/or, in certain instances, where
You are located and whether You elect services governed by Our International
Supplements. Our International Supplements may contain eligibility criteria and
limitations on the Service which will prevail over more general provisions in
these Terms. Notwithstanding more general provisions in these Terms, Our
International Business Receivables (IBR) Service does not offer payment
capabilities or the ability to hold funds and is expressly limited to the
functions and features set forth in the Supplemental Terms of Service for IBR
Users.
3.2 Eligibility to Use the Service. You represent and warrant that: (a) all
Users are at least 18 years of age; (b) all Users and Your Organization or
Individual, as appropriate, reside in the United States (except if You have
created a Canadian BILL account or an IBR account pursuant to the Supplemental
Terms of Service for Canadian Users or IBR Users respectively, in which case
this section (b) does not apply); (c) You have not previously been suspended or
removed from the Service; and (d) You will provide any and all documentation as
requested by BILL, including as needed to verify identity and creditworthiness.
You understand and agree that if You are a corporation, partnership, or other
Organization, then Your User(s) may access Your BILL account from outside of the
country where You hold Your BILL account. You consent to BILL obtaining Your
personal and/or business credit report from a credit reporting agency at account
opening and whenever We reasonably believe there may be an increased level of
risk associated with Your account.
3.3 Third Party Service Providers. You grant to BILL and We reserve the right to
use third parties to provide or facilitate the Service. If BILL uses third
parties to provide or facilitate the Service, We will remain responsible to You
for providing the Service under this Agreement.
3.4 Account Administrators. Each account registered with BILL (a “BILL account”)
must have at least one User in the “Administrator” role to manage and control
access to the BILL account. The Administrator may invite and authorize other
Users to access, establish login credentials for, and use the BILL account. The
Administrator may revoke access and authorization of a User. Information about
User(s) and their use of the Service may be provided by Us to the Administrator.
If You are an Administrator, You understand and agree that You are responsible
for any actions or inactions of a User that are not in compliance with this
Agreement.
3.5 Updates to the Service. BILL reserves the right, from time to time to update
the Service and/or make new applications, tools, features or functionalities
available through the Service, the use of which may be contingent upon Your
agreement to additional terms and/or service fees. BILL reserves the right to
discontinue the Service, or certain applications, tools, features or
functionalities of the Service, for any reason at any time, in BILL’s sole
discretion, without BILL incurring any liability to You.
4. Protection of Your Account
4.1 User Account Creation and Login Credentials. To use the Service, You may be
required to register a BILL account and/or to enroll as a User. To register a
BILL account and/or enroll as a User, You will be required to provide Us with
information about Yourself, including but not limited to Your name, address,
email address and other contact or identifying information, and about Your
Organization or Individual, as appropriate. You agree that the information You
provide to Us will be accurate and that You will keep it up-to-date at all
times. Users will be asked to create a strong password and provide a device on
which to receive a multi-factor authentication code, one-time password or
similar authentication token or mechanism (collectively, the User’s “Login
Credentials”).
4.2 Security of User Login Credentials. Users are solely responsible for
maintaining the confidentiality of Login Credentials. To the extent allowed by
law, You accept responsibility for all activities on Your account authenticated
through User Login Credentials, including all payment instructions provided to
BILL, whether authorized or not. Each User agrees to keep User Login Credentials
confidential and secure, and Users will not give or make Login Credentials
available, directly or indirectly, to any unauthorized individual. You
acknowledge and agree that if Users allow, whether through action or inaction, a
person to gain access to Login Credentials, with or without permission, the User
is authorizing that person to use the Service, and You will be responsible for
all transactions that result from such access, even if they are unauthorized,
fraudulent, or you did not want the transactions performed.
4.3 Commercially Reasonable Security Procedures. You acknowledge and agree that
the Our security procedures are a commercially reasonable method of verifying
Your identity and payment instructions, providing security against unauthorized
payment instructions and fraud, and protecting Your BILL account.
4.4 Lost, Stolen or Compromised Account or Login Credentials. You agree to
immediately notify BILL’s Customer Support through Our customer support portal
if You believe that Your BILL account has been compromised or accessed without
authorization, or any User’s Login Credentials have been lost, stolen or
compromised, or someone has attempted or may attempt to make or request payments
through Your BILL account without authorization.
4.5 Responsibility for Payment Instructions. To the extent allowed by law, You
agree to be bound by all payment instructions or transactions initiated in
compliance with BILL’s security procedures and this Agreement, whether or not
authorized. You agree that You will be liable for all losses or payments
resulting from (1) the theft, loss, compromise, or unauthorized use of Your BILL
account or User Login Credentials and/or (2) any losses or unauthorized payments
resulting from any fraudulent or illegal compromise of Your systems or
processes. You agree that You will be responsible and liable for payments or
transfers containing inaccurate instructions or other errors, unless limited by
law.
Upon Your timely report, We may, in Our sole discretion, use good faith measures
to attempt to reverse and recover any unauthorized or erroneous payments or
transfers on Your behalf, but BILL will have no responsibility, obligation, or
liability in relation to such payments or transfers or any reversal or recovery
attempts.
4.6 Individual Consumer Rights. If You are an Individual consumer, please see
our Electronic Funds Transfer Agreement and Disclosures & Error Resolution
Notice for more information regarding Your rights and liabilities for
unauthorized electronic payments and other errors.
4.7 Access through Third Party Platforms. If Users choose to access Your account
through a third-party platform, You are making a determination that the
third-party platform and its login protocol are sufficiently secure to protect
User Login Credentials and Your BILL account, and You accept full responsibility
and liability if access through the third-party platform leads to the compromise
of User Login Credentials or Your BILL account.
5. Rights We Grant to You
5.1 License We Grant to You. Subject to this Agreement, including payment of all
Service Fees, BILL grants to You a personal, limited, non-exclusive,
non-assignable, non-transferable and non-sublicensable license to access and use

together with any updates, bug fixes, help content, and other related materials
that BILL provides to You (collectively, the "Software"), solely for Your own
use for so long as You are authorized to use the Service. You acknowledge and
agree that if You are in violation of this Agreement, BILL may, in its sole
discretion and without notice to You, immediately suspend or terminate Your
license and/or access to the Service.

the Service, You acknowledge and agree that You will not use the information for
any purpose other than the purpose for which the information is provided to
You. You may not disclose, sell, rent, or distribute another User’s information
for any purpose unrelated to Your use of the Service. You may not use the
information for marketing purposes, unless You separately obtain the appropriate
consent of the specific User to do so.
6.7 “Business Associate” under HIPAA. BILL may, upon request, operate as a
“business associate” of certain Users of the Service, including You, for the
purposes of The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as
amended (“HIPAA”). You agree that You will not send or transmit any electronic
“Protected Health Information” (“ePHI”, as defined in HIPAA) to BILL or
otherwise in any manner through the Service unless and until you have a Business
Associates Agreement (“BAA”) with BILL. You are solely responsible for ensuring
that Your use of the Service complies with all applicable laws and regulations,
including HIPAA. If We become aware that You have sent or transmitted ePHI in
any manner through the Service in violation of this Agreement or the BAA, We may
delete the ePHI without notice to You and without BILL incurring any liability
to You. You agree to pay any costs or fees associated with that ePHI deletion.
7. Rights You Grant to Us
7.1 Right to Refuse to Make Payment. You grant to Us and BILL reserves the right
to limit, delay, investigate, or to refuse to make, process or issue any payment
initiated or requested through the Service, in Our reasonable discretion,
without BILL incurring any liability to You. BILL will use commercially
reasonable efforts to provide notice promptly if We decide to limit, delay,
investigate or to refuse to make, process or issue a payment. This notification
is not required if the payment or notice is prohibited by law or this Agreement.
7.2 Transaction Limits. When You use the Service, You grant to Us and We
reserve, in Our sole discretion, the right to impose limits on the amount of
money sent or received through the Service, on a per transaction or a cumulative
basis, and to change those limits at any time, without BILL incurring any
liability to You. If We impose or change such limits, We will use commercially
reasonable efforts to provide notice to You, but will not be required to do so.
7.3 Right of Set Off. To the extent permitted by law, You grant to us the right
to apply or set off any money or credit balance in which You have an interest
and which is in Our possession, custody or control, in satisfaction of any
amounts or liabilities that You owe to Us.
7.4 Account Termination. BILL reserves the right to suspend or terminate Your
account or Your access to the Service at any time, for any reason (including for
a violation of this Agreement, the failure to pay applicable Service Fees, or
inactivity), in Our reasonable discretion, without BILL incurring any liability
to You. If We suspend or terminate Your account or access to the Service, We
will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide notice to You, but will not
be required to do so and will not be liable for failure to do so.
7.5 Feedback. If You provide any feedback to BILL concerning the functionality
and performance of the Service (including by identifying potential errors and
improvements), You agree to assign to BILL all rights, title, and interest in
and to such feedback, and BILL is free to use such feedback without payment or
restriction.
7.6 Marketing. To the extent permitted by law, You agree and consent that BILL
may list or identify You as a customer of BILL, including through the use of
Your brand or logo, for Our marketing or promotional purposes. You may revoke
this consent at any time by changing Your account profile settings, or by
contacting BILL Customer Support through Our customer support portal.
7.7 Right to Contact You. As permitted by law, Your use of or interaction with
the Service provides Your consent to receive informational calls, marketing
calls, and text messages from BILL at any telephone number provided to Us in
connection with Your BILL account including by automated means. We may place
these calls or texts for any purpose consistent with this Agreement or Our
Privacy Notice, including but not limited to providing multi-factor
authentication or a one-time password, notifying You regarding Your account, and
regarding new account functions, features, and Services, and helping You with
Your BILL account, or to resolve a dispute. Standard rates and text charges may
apply. You can opt out of receiving calls from BILL at any time by contacting
BILL Customer Support through Our customer support portal.
7.8 Monitoring/Recording of Telephone Calls. You understand and agree that BILL
may, without further notice or warning and in Our sole discretion, where
permitted by law, directly or through a third-party service, monitor and/or
record any telephone calls between You and Our employees, contractors, or agents
for purposes of quality control and/or training purposes, as required by
applicable law, or for BILL’s protection. While Your communications with BILL
may be overheard, monitored, or recorded, not all telephone lines or calls may
be recorded by BILL, and We do not guarantee that recordings of any particular
telephone calls will be retained or retrievable.
8. Anti-Money Laundering and Know Your Customer Requirements
8.1 US Patriot Act. To help the U.S. government fight the funding of terrorism
and money laundering activities, federal and state law requires financial
institutions, including money services businesses and banks that offer services
through BILL, to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies every
customer.
8.2 What this means for You. When You use the Service, We, and banks that offer
services through BILL, will ask You for Your name, address, date of birth, and
if You are located within the United States, Your social security number (SSN)
and/or Employer Identification Number (EIN) and other information that will
allow Us to identify You. We may also ask to see other identifying documents,
including but not limited to, Your driver’s license and business related
documents. We will let You know if additional information is required.
8.3 Verification Required. We, and banks that offer services through BILL,
reserve the right to refuse to allow any User, Vendor or Customer to use or
participate in the Service if We (or the bank) are unable to obtain or verify
information relating to identity or financial condition, such as identifying
information for an Organization’s representatives or beneficial owners.
Notwithstanding any steps that We (or the bank) take to verify the information
provided to Us (or the bank), You represent and warrant that all information You
provide is complete, truthful, accurate, and up-to-date. You also agree to
provide updated information if the information You have provided changes.
8.4 Review of Accounts and Payments. You grant to Us and BILL reserves the right
to review or place on hold any BILL account or any payment requested or
initiated, through the Service for any reason, including but not limited to
credit and fraud risk or compliance with applicable laws (such as anti-money,
laundering regulations, combating terrorist financing laws, OFAC sanctions and
sanctions laws applicable in a country where You are located), conflicting
ownership claims and legal orders. In Our sole discretion, BILL may place a hold
on a payment for as long as reasonably necessary to conduct an appropriate
inquiry regarding the payment, a BILL account, a User, an Organization or
Individual, a Customer, a Vendor, or any related facts or circumstances.
Depending on the results of this review, BILL reserves the right to take any
appropriate action, including canceling the payment, reversing the payment, or
continuing to hold the payment pending instructions from a government agency.
8.5 Reports. You acknowledge that We and banks that offer services through BILL
may make appropriate reports regarding your activities made through the Service,
including but not limited to financial institutions, regulators, tax agencies
and law enforcement authorities, and We and banks that offer services through
BILL, will cooperate with the appropriate authorities in any resulting
investigation or prosecution, all as required or permitted by law.

9.1 BILL Access to User Data. If You upload, store, share, or otherwise process
Your documents, information, data and content ("Your User Data") or synch Your
User Data from Your accounting software to the Service, You consent to BILL’s
access and processing of Your User Data in accordance with Our Privacy Notice,
this Agreement, the settings on Your BILL account, or the features of the
Service You elect to use. BILL reserves the right to remove or delete Your User
Data from the Service for any reason, including if Your User Data violates this
Agreement or applicable law, in BILL’s reasonable discretion, without BILL
incurring any liability to You. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement,
We do not claim ownership of Your User Data.
9.2 No Monitoring. You acknowledge and agree that BILL has no responsibility to
monitor or police Your use of the Service, including but not limited to
communications, information or data transmitted through the Service, such as
Your User Data, and BILL will not be responsible for the content of any such
communications, data or transmissions. However, BILL reserves the right, at all
times, to review, retain and disclose any such information as necessary to
ensure compliance with this Agreement or as required or permitted by law.
9.3 BILL Access to Technical Data. You agree that BILL may collect, use and
disclose to BILL’s service providers technical data and related information
(including but not limited to information about Your device, system and
application software, and peripherals), to provide You with the Service,
Software updates, product support, risk and fraud management and other services
related to the Service, and to track and report Your activity inside of the
Service. You understand that BILL may use aggregated and anonymized data for
analytics purposes. Please see Our Privacy Notice for more details on how BILL
collects, uses, shares and protects Your information.
9.4 No Liability. Subject to Our Privacy Notice, You agree that BILL will have
no responsibility or liability with respect to Your User Data that You request
or choose to have processed, transmitted, disclosed, or stored in connection
with the Service, including with respect to any of Your User Data that You
request to have deleted from the Service, other than as provided under this
Agreement.
10. Fees and Payment Terms
10.1 Service Fees. Access to the Service, or to certain features of the Service,
may require You to pay certain fees applicable to the Service used or subscribed
by You (individually and collectively, “Service Fees”), including but not
limited to account subscription fees, transaction fees, payment processing fees,
and other special services fees. Transaction, payment processing or other
special service fees are separate from subscription fees associated with
subscription plans. Information on Service Fees can be found on the BILL
Website. Service Fees may not be applicable to fees or charges associated with
financing products where specific fees, charges, interest and other terms are
set forth in your applicable loan agreement. You agree to pay when due all
Service Fees applicable to Your use of the Service. You agree that You are
responsible for the full amount of applicable Service Fees for each billing
cycle in which You use the Service or maintain a BILL account, even if You don’t
use the Service during the billing cycle or use the Service for only a portion
of the billing cycle. BILL reserves the right to refuse to cancel Your BILL
account if Your account is not in good standing or has any overdue Service Fees.
10.2 Changes to Service Fees. BILL reserves the right to change the Service Fees
from time to time, in its sole discretion. BILL will provide advanced notice of
any material increase of a change in Service Fees. If the increase in Service
Fees is not acceptable, Your sole and exclusive remedy will be to stop using the
Service and/or cancel Your BILL account, as applicable. By continuing to use the
Service after notice of the new Service Fees, You accept all changes in Service
Fees. All Service Fees are non-refundable, except in the sole discretion of
BILL.
10.3 Payment of Service Fees. You authorize BILL to use the credit or debit card
You have provided to Us (as updated by You from time to time), or the bank
account associated with Your BILL account (each a "Billing Account") to
automatically charge You, in U.S. dollars, for the Service Fees applicable to
Your BILL account or Your use of the Service, plus any applicable taxes. If BILL
is unable to charge the Billing Account for any reason, You agree to pay all
past due Service Fees and taxes within 5 business days of notice of non-payment
from BILL. If amounts owed are not paid within 5 days of that notice, interest
will accrue on all past due amounts at the rate of 1.5% per month or the highest
rate of interest allowed by law (whichever is less), calculated from the date
the amount was due until the date that payment is received. If Your BILL account
becomes overdue, BILL will be entitled to reimbursement for the reasonable costs
of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses.
10.4 Inactive Accounts. If Your BILL account becomes inactive because You do not
process a payment for an extended period of time, or because You have not linked
a valid bank account, You may have a balance that is deemed “unclaimed” or
“abandoned” under applicable state law. BILL may transfer any such "unclaimed"
or "abandoned" funds in Your BILL account as required or permitted by applicable
law. As provided by law, BILL may deduct a dormancy fee from any funds
transferred under this paragraph.
11. Deactivating a User or Canceling Your BILL Account
11.1 Your Right to Cancel. You may request to deactivate a User or cancel Your
BILL account at any time by submitting a request through Your BILL account or
through Our customer support portal. BILL reserves the right to require up to 60
days’ prior notice of cancelation or User deactivation.
11.2 Effective Date of Cancelation: Subscription Accounts. This section applies
to You if Your BILL account is an account with agreed upon subscription Service
Fees (“Subscription Account”). When You request to deactivate a User, the User
deactivation will be effective on the last billing day of the then-current
billing cycle for the Subscription Account or the date such request is processed
and completed by Us, whichever is earlier. When You request to cancel a
Subscription Account, the cancelation will be effective on the last day of the
then-current billing cycle for Your Subscription Account, if there are no
pending payments on the BILL account or if all pending payments will be posted
and completed before the end of that billing cycle. If there are pending
payments that will not be posted and completed by the last day of the billing
cycle in which You request to cancel Your Subscription Account, the account
cancelation will be effective on the last day of the next billing cycle or the
date on which the last requested payment is posted and completed, whichever is
later. BILL reserves the right to void any payments that have not been processed
and paid on or before the effective date of account cancelation. You will be
responsible for all Service Fees that accrue up to the effective date of
cancelation. If You have any outstanding loan, the account cancelation will be
effective on the date on which all principal, interest and indebtedness have
been paid in full.
11.3 Effective Date of Cancelation: Non-Subscription Accounts. If You do not
have a Subscription Account with BILL, Your request to deactivate a User or to
cancel Your BILL account will be effective on the date the request is processed
or the date on which the last requested payment is posted and completed,
whichever is later. You will be responsible for all Service Fees that accrue up
to the effective date of cancelation. If You have any outstanding loan, the
account cancelation will be effective on the date on which all principal,
interest and indebtedness have been paid in full.
11.4 Your Documents. If You cancel Your BILL account, BILL and the banks that
offer services through BILL may maintain copies of any information or data that
You upload to or create in the Service, such as Your User Data, Bills, and
Documents, as required or permitted by law, this Agreement or Our Privacy
Notice.

13. Third-Party Services, Websites, and Products
13.1 Third-Party Services. Through the Service, You may access third-party
websites, databases, networks, servers, information, software, programs,
systems, directories, applications, or products or services offered through such
third-party platforms (collectively, “Third-Party Services”).
13.2 No Control Over Third-Party Services. BILL does not have or maintain any
control over Third-Party Services, and is not responsible for their content,
operation, or use. By linking or otherwise displaying information from or
providing access to any Third-Party Services, BILL does not give any
representation, warranty or endorsement, express or implied, with respect to the
legality, accuracy, quality, or authenticity of content, information, or
services provided by those Third-Party Services.
13.3 Terms of Third-Party Services. Third-Party Services may have their own
terms of use, licenses or privacy policies, and may have different practices and
requirements from BILL. For example, if You access or use the Google Maps
Platform (“Google Maps”) through the Service, Your use of Google Maps is subject
to Google’s Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy. You are solely
responsible for reviewing any terms of use, privacy policies or other terms
governing Your use of these Third-Party Services, which You use at Your own
risk. You are advised to make reasonable inquiries and investigations before
entering into any transaction, financial or otherwise, and whether online or
offline, with any third party related to any Third-Party Services.
13.4 Disclaimer of Liability for Third-Party Services. You are solely
responsible for taking the precautions necessary to protect Yourself from fraud
when using Third-Party Services, and to protect Your computer systems from
viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and other harmful or destructive content and
material that may be included on or may emanate from any Third-Party
Services. BILL disclaims any and all responsibility or liability for any harm
resulting from Your use of Third-Party Services, and You irrevocably waive any
claim against BILL with respect to the content or operation of any Third-Party
Services.
13.5 Third-Party Software. The software You download consists of a package of
components, including certain third-party software (“Third-Party Software”)
provided under separate license terms (the “Third-Party Terms”). Your use of the

applicable Third-Party Terms and nothing in this Agreement is intended to impose
further restrictions on Your use of the Third-Party Software.
13.6 Synching Your BILL Account with Your Accounting Software. If You choose to
synchronize Your BILL account and Your accounting software, You agree that you
are consenting to sharing such data with BILL and any third party providers it
uses in relation to the synchronization. If You choose to link Your BILL account
to Your accounting software, You are making a determination that the accounting
software is sufficiently secure to protect Your BILL account. When You use
third-party accounting software, You understand and agree that use is subject to
the terms of service and privacy policy of the software provider.
13.7 Third-Party Disputes. BILL IS NOT AFFILIATED WITH ANY OTHER BILL USER,
CARRIER, SERVICE PROVIDER, THIRD-PARTY, OR THIRD-PARTY SERVICE, AND ANY DISPUTE
YOU HAVE WITH ANY OTHER BILL USER, CARRIER, SERVICE PROVIDER, THIRD-PARTY
SERVICE, OR OTHER THIRD PARTY ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, INCLUDING,
WITHOUT LIMITATION, YOUR EMPLOYER, IS SOLELY BETWEEN YOU AND SUCH THIRD PARTY,
AND YOU IRREVOCABLY RELEASE BILL (AND OUR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AGENTS,
SUBSIDIARIES, JOINT VENTURES, AND EMPLOYEES) FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS

OTHER SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES)) OF EVERY KIND AND NATURE, KNOWN
AND UNKNOWN, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH SUCH DISPUTES. BILL

agree that certain distributors of the Service, including but not limited to
mobile app store providers, such as Apple, Inc. and Google Inc., are intended
beneficiaries of this Agreement and have a limited right to enforce this
Agreement directly against You. Other than as set out in this Section or in
Section 18, this Agreement is not intended to grant rights to anyone except You
and BILL, and in no event shall the Agreement create any third-party beneficiary
rights. No additional consents are required to exercise any rights to terminate,
rescind, or agree to any variation, waiver, or settlement of this Agreement.
13.9 Mobile Applications. When You download a BILL mobile application (“mobile
app”) from the Apple App Store, the Google Play Store, or other authorized app
store provider (collectively and individually, “Mobile Provider”) for use on a
mobile device, You acknowledge and agree to that this Agreement is between You
and BILL only, not the Mobile Provider, and the Mobile Provider is not
responsible for the Service or the content thereof. The Mobile Provider has no
obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with
respect to the Service. You agree that the Mobile Provider is not responsible
for addressing any claims by You or any third party relating to the Service or
your possession and/or use of the Service. The Mobile Provider is not
responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any
third-party claim that the Service or Your possession and use of the Service
infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights. You agree to comply
with any applicable third-party terms when using the Service through a mobile

14. Limitation of Liability
IN NO EVENT SHALL BILL 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, CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSS OF INCOME, DATA,
PROFITS, REVENUE OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, OR
OTHER ECONOMIC LOSS, WHETHER OR NOT BILL 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. BILL WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ATTORNEYS’ FEES, EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY
LAW.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, IN NO EVENT SHALL BILL'S
AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU, YOUR ORGANIZATION OR INDIVIDUAL, ANY USER, OR ANY
THIRD PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SERVICE EXCEED THE TOTAL
FEES PAID BY YOU OR YOUR ORGANIZATION TO BILL IN THE TWELVE MONTH PERIOD
PRECEDING THE EVENT(S) THAT GAVE RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY, OR ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS
($100.00), WHICHEVER IS GREATER, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OR THEORY OF THE CLAIM
OR ACTION.
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.
15. Indemnity
You agree to full liability and responsibility for Your use of the Service, and
You will defend and indemnify BILL and its officers, directors, employees,
consultants, affiliates, subsidiaries and agents from and against every claim,
liability, damage, loss, and expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees and
costs, arising out of or in any way connected with: (a) Your violation of any
portion of this Agreement, or any applicable law or regulation; (b) Your
violation of any third-party right, including any intellectual property right,
or publicity, confidentiality, other property or privacy right; or (c) any
dispute or issue between You and any third party. We reserve the right, at Our
own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise
subject to indemnification by You (without limiting Your indemnification
obligations with respect to that matter), and in that case, You agree to
cooperate with Our defense of that claim.
16. Agreement to Arbitrate
16.1 Agreement to Arbitrate. In the interest of resolving disputes between You
and BILL or the banks that offer credit products or services through BILL (the
“BILL Parties”) in the most expedient and cost-effective manner, You and the
BILL Parties agree that every dispute arising in connection with this Agreement
will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is less formal than a
lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or
jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to
very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief
that a court can award (although the arbitrator must abide by the contractual
limits on damages in this Agreement) and must enforce applicable statutes of
limitation and legal defenses. This Agreement to Arbitrate disputes includes all
claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of this Agreement, whether based
in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory,
and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of this
Agreement. BY ENTERING IN THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND THE BILL PARTIES ARE EACH
WAIVING THE RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT AND THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. YOU
UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE ON AN
INDIVIDUAL BASIS.
16.2 Waiver of Class Actions and Right to Trial by Jury. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, You acknowledge and agree that You may bring claims against
the BILL Parties only in Your individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or
class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. CLASS ACTIONS,
CLASS ARBITRATIONS, REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS, AND/OR CONSOLIDATION OF ACTIONS OR
ARBITRATIONS ARE NOT ALLOWED. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE EXPRESSLY AND KNOWINGLY
WAIVED YOUR RIGHTS TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AND TO A TRIAL BY JURY.
16.3 Procedures. Any arbitration between You and the BILL Parties will be
resolved under the Federal Arbitration Act, administered by the American
Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and governed by the Commercial Dispute
Resolution Procedures of the AAA, and where the claim is by or against a natural
person and involves a product or service for personal or household use, then the
arbitration will be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules (collectively, “AAA
Rules”), as modified by this Agreement. The AAA Rules and filing forms are
available online at www.adr.org.
16.4 Notice. If You intend to seek arbitration, You must first send a written
notice (“Notice”) of Your claim or dispute to the BILL Parties by certified U.S.
Mail or by Federal Express (signature required). BILL's address for Notice is
BILL’s address of record as listed on the BILL Website, ATTN: LEGAL. The Notice
must describe: (a) the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) the
remedy that You want (“Demand”). You and the BILL Parties agree to make good
faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if You and the BILL Parties do
not reach an agreement within 30 days after the Notice is received, You or the
BILL Parties may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the
amount of any settlement offer made by You or the BILL Parties must not be
disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision
and award, if any.
16.5 Fees. If You commence arbitration in accordance with this Agreement, the
payment of fees related to the arbitration will be decided by the AAA Rules. If
Your claim is less than ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00), BILL will reimburse
You for the payment of the filing fee. However, if the arbitrator finds that
either the substance of Your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is
frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set
forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), You agree to reimburse BILL for
any fees paid on Your behalf that would otherwise be Your obligation under the
AAA Rules.
16.6 Location. The arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be
agreed upon in Santa Clara County, California. If Your claim is for twenty five
thousand ($25,000) or less, You may choose whether the arbitration will be
conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b)
through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing
as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of Your billing
address.
16.7 Severability. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute
relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this
Agreement. If this Agreement to Arbitrate is found to be, in whole or in part,
invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain
in effect, and, where this Section 16 cannot be enforced, You agree that the
exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 17 will govern any action
arising out of or related to this Agreement.
16.8 Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate. Notwithstanding any other provision
of Section 16, nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to waive, preclude, or
otherwise limit the right to: (a) bring an individual (non-class,
non-representative) action in small claims court so long as such action remains
in small claims court; (b) pursue a private general attorney action where
arbitration cannot be required under applicable law; (c) seek injunctive relief
in a court of law; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an
intellectual property infringement claim.
17. Governing Law; Choice of Forum
This Agreement and all matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement,
including any disputes between You and BILL, will be governed by the laws of the
State of California, without regard to its conflicts of law provisions. To the
extent that any dispute or action relating to this Agreement is permitted to be
brought in a court of law, You agree that the legal action or proceeding will be
brought exclusively in the state courts located in Santa Clara County,
California, or the federal courts in the Northern District of
California. Subject to the provisions of Section 16, You and BILL agree to
submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of and agree that venue is proper in the
state courts located in Santa Clara County, California, or the federal courts in
the Northern District of California in any legal action or proceeding. The
United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will
not apply to any matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement.
18. Other Provisions
18.1 Language. If BILL provides a translation of the English language version of
this Agreement, the translation is provided solely for convenience, and the
English version will prevail.
18.2 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and have
no legal effect.
18.3 Force Majeure. BILL will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform
any obligation related to the Service if the delay or failure is due to
unforeseen events that are beyond BILL’s reasonable control, such as strikes,
blockade, war, terrorism, riots, natural disasters, epidemic, or governmental
action.
18.4 Waiver. The waiver of any default or breach of this Agreement will not
constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent default or breach. Except as
otherwise stated in this Agreement, the exercise of any remedy under this
Agreement will be without prejudice to other remedies available under this
Agreement or otherwise.
18.5 Severability. In the event any provision of this Agreement is held to be
invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the Agreement will remain
in full force and effect.
18.6 Compliance with Laws. You and BILL each agree to comply with all applicable
laws and regulations with respect to the Service and Your use of the Service,
including without limitation any export laws and regulations of the United
States.
18.7 No Agency. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Our Agreement with
You, nothing in this Agreement, will be construed to create a partnership, joint
venture, agency or fiduciary relationship between You and BILL.
18.8 Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the sole and
exclusive benefit of You and BILL and the banks that provide credit products or
services through BILL (as third party beneficiaries of this Agreement and have a
limited right to enforce this Agreement directly against You with respect to
such bank credit products or services), and is not intended to benefit any third
party, except as otherwise stated.
18.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the complete and exclusive
agreement between You and BILL concerning the Service and supersedes all other
agreements or understandings, written or oral, about the Service.
19. Updates and Changes to This Agreement
BILL reserves the right to modify or change this Agreement (including adding and
deleting any terms), as well as its policies relating to the Service, at any
time, in Our sole discretion. BILL will post revised Terms or policies on Our
Website, and will provide notice to You of material changes to this
Agreement. You will be deemed to have accepted and agreed to any revisions or
changes to this Agreement at the time of (i) Your electronic acceptance of the
revised, changed or new Agreement, or (ii) Your use of the Service after the
effective date of the revised, changed or new Agreement. If the revised, changed
or new Agreement is not acceptable to You, Your sole and exclusive remedy will
be to stop using the Service and/or to cancel Your account as provided in
Section 11.
SCHEDULE 1
Bill Payment Service
This Schedule 1 sets forth additional Terms that apply to all uses of the
accounts payable services, features and functionalities (“Bill Payment Service”)
of the Service. This Schedule is supplemental to and incorporated into the
Agreement that governs the Service. All capitalized terms used but not defined
herein have the meanings given to them in the Terms.
1. Using the Bill Payment Service
1.1 Using the Bill Payment Service. The “Bill Payment Service” is a set of
services, features and functionalities that enables You to make payments to
Vendors through the Service.
1.2 Payment Accounts. To use the Bill Payment Service, You must associate one or
more valid bank account(s), credit card(s), or debit card(s) (individually and
collectively, Your "Payment Account") with Your BILL account. Any bank account
that You may associate with Your BILL account will be considered to be a
“Payment Account.” When You enter Payment Account information for purposes of
the Bill Payment Service, You represent and warrant:
* You have the authority to provide and disclose the Payment Account
information to BILL;
* You have the authority to and do authorize the initiation of ACH debit or
credit entries, as applicable, to the Payment Account in accordance with any
payment instructions provided in connection with Your BILL account or use of
the Service, and, as necessary, the initiation of adjustments or reversals as
provided under this Agreement, or applicable law, rules or regulations;
* You will provide complete and accurate information to BILL about the Payment
Account, including, but not limited to, information on the ownership of the
account, and will notify Us promptly if the Payment Account information or
ownership changes; and
* Each payment that You request through the Service complies with this
Agreement and applicable law, regulations and rules.
1.3 Authorized Payers. By entitling a User to make payments through the Service
(a “Payer”), You represent and warrant to Us that the Payer is authorized to
instruct BILL to make payments and to initiate debit or credit entries, as
applicable, to or from any Payment Account, as provided under this Agreement,
the terms of the financial institution holding the Payment Account, and any
applicable laws, regulations or rules. You will be responsible for any and all
payments requested or made by a Payer, whether or not authorized by You.
1.4 Payment Instructions. When We receive a payment instruction from You or any
Payer, We will use commercially reasonable efforts to make and deliver the
payment, subject to this Agreement, and You authorize Us to debit Your Payment
Account and remit funds on Your behalf, all in accordance with the payment
instruction. You agree to be bound by any payment instructions that You or any
Payer provides to Us, to the fullest extent allowed by law.
1.5 Rights We Reserve. BILL reserves the right to limit or cap or to refuse to
make any payment transaction requested or initiated through the Bill Payment
Service, for any reason, in BILL’s sole discretion, without BILL incurring any
liability to You. By using the Bill Payment Service, You grant to Us and BILL
reserves the right to suspend or cancel any payments requested or initiated by
You or a Payer, including if Your BILL account is not in good standing. In the
event that We suspend or cancel Your payment, BILL will credit the amount of any
electronic ACH debit(s) received by Us to fund the payment (as described in
Section 10 of this Schedule) to Your Payment Account, and You authorize BILL, in
its sole discretion, to withhold and collect from any such credit(s) any Service
Fees or other amounts owed by You to BILL.
1.6 Making Card Payments. The Bill Payment Service enables certain BILL Users to
fund payments to Vendors via credit or debit card (“Card(s)”). To fund a payment
to a Vendor using a Card, You will need to associate one or more valid Cards
with Your BILL account. If Your BILL account is eligible to make payments via
Card, You may use Cards issued on the following payment networks: MasterCard®,
Visa®, Discover®, JCB®, Diners Club® networks. Certain restrictions may apply.
Upon the addition of a Card to Your BILL account, You agree that BILL may verify
the validity of Your Card pursuant to any reasonable method in BILL's sole
discretion, including validating Your authority to use the Card. A temporary,
small authorization charge may appear on Your card statement provided by the
issuing bank for this purpose. All of the following apply when You use a Card to
fund a payment to a Vendor:
* All Cards associated with Your BILL account are subject to the existing terms
for the Card, including, but not limited to, any relevant credit or
transaction limits, credit and interest terms, rewards programs, or other
applicable terms set by Your issuing bank.
* We may impose limits on the size, frequency, and timing of Card payments sent
through the service, on a per transaction, or a cumulative basis, and change
those limits at any time.
* Use of Your Card to fund a payment is governed by the terms set by Your
issuing bank. BILL will prepare, code, and submit Your Card authorizations as
bill payments or purchases rather than cash advances. Your Card transactions,
however, may be treated as a cash advance by the issuing bank.
* If You choose to fund a payment to a vendor via Card, BILL will first charge
the Card You have selected to fund the payment. Once BILL charges Your Card
successfully, BILL will disburse the funds to Your Vendor, pursuant to the
Choosing a Payment Method Section below and other applicable terms.
* Each payment to a Vendor that You fund by using a Card complies with this
Agreement and applicable law, regulations and rules.
* BILL Remedies. If (i) You initiate excessive Card Payment Disputes (defined
below) seeking to reverse, chargeback, or dispute payments You have funded
through use of Card or have a material number of such disputes unresolved for
longer than 60 days; (ii) You materially breach this Agreement; (iii) BILL
forms a reasonable belief that You may be unable to cover future liabilities
under this Agreement (including if there is a material risk of Your
insolvency, or if You are the subject of a large number of Vendor
complaints); (iv) You have committed compliance violations, including being
placed on any watchlist maintained by a regulator; or (v) You violate BILL’s
Acceptable Use Policy, each as reasonably determined by BILL, BILL, upon
notice to You, may do any or all of the following in order to mitigate the
risk to BILL: (i) delay the payout of settlement funds to Your Vendors; (ii)
suspend Your ability to submit Card Payments.
1.7 BILL balance. If You have an eligible BILL account, You will be able to hold
a balance of funds in Your BILL account (a “BILL Balance”). You can use Your
BILL Balance to fund payments to Vendors and receive payments from Your
Customers, among other benefits. BILL Balance allows eligible BILL accounts to
receive money, hold money, transfer money to pay Vendors, and move money from
Your BILL Balance to Your Payment Account. Your BILL Balance consists of the
funds You have in your BILL account for new payments and that are not subject to
pending transactions. You will pay the standard transaction fees for any
transfers from Your BILL Balance to pay Vendors.
* You may use funds from Your Payment Account to fund Your BILL Balance. Each
time You instruct BILL to add funds from Your Payment Account to Your BILL
Balance, You authorize Us to immediately debit the Payment Account at the
time of the transfer for the amount instructed. You also authorize BILL to
return funds to Your Payment Account in the event that a transfer of funds to
Your BILL Balance is canceled or not possible for any reason. If We are
unable to return funds from Your BILL Balance to your Payment Account, We
will request that You provide us with a new Payment Account or an address to
mail a check to return those funds to You.
* You may electronically transfer funds from Your BILL Balance to Your Payment
Account by instructing BILL to transfer funds to Your Payment Account. BILL
will settle these electronic transfers to Your Payment Account based on the
method You choose, including but not limited to, a wire or an ACH credit to
your Payment Account through the National Automated Clearing House
Association (“NACHA”). These transfers from Your BILL Balance will typically
arrive in Your Payment Account within one (1) business day from the date of
Your payment instruction. We may limit how many withdrawals You can initiate
from Your BILL Balance to Your Payment Account and the amount of funds You
can transfer in a single transaction. We may also delay a withdrawal, in
certain situations, including to confirm that You have authorized the
withdrawal or if there are insufficient funds in Your BILL Balance. We will
charge our standard transaction fees to transfer funds from Your BILL balance
to Your Payment Account via an ACH or check. If You request a paper check
from Us, You must cash it within 180 days of the date of issuance, or We will
return the funds to Your BILL balance.
* Funds added to Your BILL Balance will be stored in a master bank account
owned by BILL, as custodian and for Your benefit. BILL Balance funds may be
commingled with other funds similarly collected by and held by BILL for
purposes of making payments requested through the Service. Even though BILL
Balance funds will be held in an account owned by BILL, the funds are held
solely for the benefit of the User, not BILL and the BILL Balance User will
be the principal with respect to those funds. BILL will not mix Your funds
with BILL’s corporate funds and BILL will not use Your funds for any
corporate purposes, nor will BILL voluntarily make Your funds available to
its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. Funds in Your BILL Balance will be
held in U.S. dollars.
* You will not receive interest on the funds that You have in Your BILL
Balance, and You agree that You will not receive any interest on or other
monies derived from the funds that BILL holds in the master bank account.
* BILL may freeze, withhold, or remand funds in Your BILL Balance in response
to a facially valid subpoena, court order, search warrant, notice, or other
binding order from a governmental authority or third party, including but not
limited to tax levies, garnishment orders, or lien notices without incurring
any liability to You. We will decide, in Our sole discretion, what action is
required of Us. Unless the court order, applicable law, regulatory
requirement or other legal process (“Legal Order”) requires otherwise, We
will notify you of these actions. When We implement a hold or limitation as a
result of a Legal Order the hold or limitation may remain in place longer
than 180 days.
* You can close BILL Balance without closing Your BILL account, but You cannot
close Your BILL account without closing Your BILL Balance. Closing a BILL
account will result in BILL automatically closing Your BILL Balance and
sending any balance to You via check. You can terminate Your relationship
with Us, but You will remain liable for all obligations related to Your BILL
Balance and BILL account, even after those accounts are closed. You must
withdraw or transfer any funds held in a BILL Balance before closing your
BILL Balance or BILL Account. In certain circumstances, such as the
following, You may not turn off the BILL balance feature or close Your BILL
account: to evade investigation; if You have a pending transaction using Your
BILL Balance as the payment method or an open dispute or claim related to
Your BILL Balance; if Your BILL Balance has a negative balance; or if Your
BILL Balance is subject to a hold or limitation.
* If We believe that You: breach the Terms or Our Acceptable Use Policy;
violate any law, statute, ordinance, or regulation; send or receive what We
in Our discretion believe to be fraudulent funds; are using BILL Balance or
the Service for what We in Our discretion believe is a fraud or crime; refuse
to cooperate in an investigation or provide confirmation of Your identity or
any information You provide to Us; or conduct business in a manner the
results in complaints, fees, fines, penalties or other financial, legal,
regulatory or reputational risk, liability or losses to BILL, other BILL
customers, third parties, or You, then we may take a number of actions to
protect BILL, Our customers, and others in Our sole discretion. These actions
include, but are not limited to: Limiting Your use of BILL Balance, closing
or suspending Your BILL Balance immediately, without any penalty to BILL;
limiting Your ability to send money or make withdrawals from BILL Balance;
holding Your BILL Balance for up to 180 days if reasonably needed to protect
against the risk of liability or if You have violated our Acceptable Use
Policy.
* If We deactivate Your BILL Balance or terminate Your use of the Service for
any reason, we’ll provide You with notice of our actions and make any
unrestricted funds held in Your BILL balance available for withdrawal to the
extent permitted by law. You are responsible for all reversals, chargebacks,
claims, fees, fines, penalties, or other liability incurred by BILL, or a
BILL customer, or a third party caused by or arising out of the Terms
applicable to your use of BILL Balance.
* If You do not log in to Your BILL account for at least two years, BILL may
close Your BILL Balance and send any funds in the BILL Balance to Your
primary address or, if required, escheat (send) those funds to Your state of
residency. We will determine your state of residency based on the state
listed as the address for your BILL Account.
2. Vendor Set Up and Management
2.1 Setting Up Your Vendors. To use the Bill Payment Service, You will be
required to provide information for Your Vendors, including for Vendors that are
not part of the BILL network. For each Vendor, You agree to provide correct and
current information as requested by BILL. By providing, entering, connecting, or
uploading any Vendor information to the Service, You represent and warrant that
You have obtained all necessary authorizations or consents from the Vendor to
share such information. You represent and warrant that the Vendor agrees, or You
have the authority to agree on behalf of the Vendor, to be subject to and comply
with this Agreement and all applicable laws, rules and regulations. You
authorize Us to send emails, text messages and to call Your Vendors as needed to
facilitate the Services provided to You and to provide Your Vendors with
information regarding other products or Services. You represent and warrant that
Your Vendor has agreed to receive such communications from Us. You further
represent and warrant that when We send Your Vendor transactional communications
that relate to payments that those communications facilitate a previously agreed
upon commercial transaction between You and Your Vendor.
You are solely responsible and BILL is not responsible for verifying the
accuracy of any Vendor information provided in connection with Your BILL account
or use of the Service. BILL will have no liability for losses or damages
resulting from the accuracy or inaccuracy of Your Vendor’s information,
including bank account information, or Your or Your Vendor’s actions or
inactions. If You invite a Vendor to set up a BILL account, You acknowledge that
it may take several business days to set up the Vendor in the Service. BILL does
not guarantee that a Vendor will be set up in the Service.
2.2 Vendor Selection. If You choose to connect with, link or pay a Vendor in the
BILL network, You acknowledge and agree that You are solely responsible for
selecting and paying the correct Vendor. BILL will have no liability or
responsibility if You select or pay an incorrect Vendor.
2.3 Payment Instruction Authorizations. When You create or link a Vendor to Your
BILL account, You authorize Us to follow the payment instructions that We
receive from You or a Payer to pay that Vendor. In order to process payments
more efficiently and effectively, We may submit check payments to the best known
Vendor address, alter payment data or data formats for a Vendor, or send a
payment through the BILL Virtual Card Service as provided in Section 12 of this
Schedule, all in Our sole discretion and without notice to You. BILL reserves
the right to refuse to make payments to any Vendor, in BILL’s sole discretion.
3. Choosing a Payment Method
To use the Bill Payment Service, for each payment transaction, You must choose a
payment method to pay Your Vendor. Available payment methods may include
electronic ACH payment, check payment, Card payments, or virtual card payment.
The payment method selected may be governed by additional Terms, including as
set forth in other Schedules to this Agreement. BILL reserves the right to
change or limit the payment method options available to any Payer or Vendor, or
to select the method by which a payment transaction will be made, all in BILL’s
sole discretion.
4. Scheduling Bill Payment
4.1 Process Dates. Payment transactions made through the Bill Payment Service
require sufficient time for BILL to debit Your Payment Account and for Your
Vendor to receive payment. When making a payment through the Bill Payment
Service, You must select an available date on which BILL will process the ACH
debit from Your Payment Account to fund the payment ("Process Date"). You agree
that You are solely responsible for scheduling payments and selecting an
appropriate Process Date for each payment transaction. You understand that the
selection of a future Process Date may not be available for all products and
services.
4.2 No Warranty or Representation. When provided by BILL, estimated payment
dates are for convenience only, and BILL does not guarantee that a payment to a
Vendor will be made within any specific time frame of the Process Date, and BILL
disclaims any responsibility or liability if a payment scheduled through the
Bill Pay Service is not made to a Vendor on or before any specific date. It is
Your sole responsibility to ensure that payment to a Vendor is made as required
by agreement, contract or law. Except as otherwise agreed or required by law,
You will be solely responsible and BILL will not be responsible for all
penalties, interest charges, and other late payment fees associated with
payments that are delivered after their due date.
5. Debits from Your Payment Account
5.1 Debits. When You use the Bill Payment Service to pay a Vendor, You are
responsible for the payment amount and agree to fund the payment to BILL. To
fund the payment, You authorize BILL to process a debit or charge to Your
Payment Account, pursuant to your Payment Instructions, in the full amount of
each payment You or a Payer has requested. If a debit or charge to Your Payment
Account to fund a payment made by You through the Service is rejected or
returned by Your bank for any reason, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU CONTINUE
TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FUNDING THE PAYMENT AMOUNT AND AGREE TO PAY THE AMOUNT OF
THE RETURNED DEBIT DIRECTLY TO BILL WITHIN 5 BUSINESS DAYS. You agree that We
may resubmit a returned or rejected debit to any Payment Account in Our sole
discretion. You agree to pay all penalties, interest charges, late payment fees,
service fees, and/or interest related to the rejected or returned funding debit.
If an ACH debit or Card payment processed by Us from Your Payment Account is
rejected or returned for any reason, We reserve the right to suspend all
payments from Your BILL account, or to terminate Your BILL account, all in Our
sole discretion in addition to other rights and remedies We have under the law
and this Agreement.
5.2 ACH Debits from Your Payment Account. You certify that Your Payment Account
is enabled for ACH debits, and agree to reimburse BILL for all penalties and
fees incurred if any funding ACH debit is returned because Your Payment account
was not properly configured to accept ACH debits.
6. Payment Cancelation or Modification
6.1 Payment Cancelation. You understand and agree that when You authorize a
payment to be made to a Vendor through the Service, Your authorization remains
in effect for up to 30 days. Payments that are scheduled but have not yet begun
to be processed may be canceled and, if a change is needed, reissued, through
Your BILL account. Once BILL has begun to process a payment, the payment cannot
be canceled, and You must request to void the payment.
6.2 Void Payment Requests. To stop a payment after BILL has begun to process it,
You must request to void the payment (“Void Payment Request”) through the
Service. If You submit a Void Payment Request, BILL will use commercially
reasonable efforts to stop the payment, but You understand and agree that BILL
may not be able to stop the payment. BILL’s ability to stop a payment depends on
a number of factors, including but not limited to the payment method and whether
the payment has cleared the Vendor’s account. You agree that BILL will not have
any liability for failing to stop a payment that has begun to process. A Void
Payment Request may be subject to a fee.
6.3 Rights We Reserve. BILL reserves the right to expire, void or cancel any
payment if the payment is not deposited or otherwise received and processed by a
Vendor within a reasonable amount of time, as determined by BILL in Our sole
discretion. If We expire, void or cancel any payment, You authorize and We will
credit the amount of the payment to Your Payment Account, less any Service Fees
or other amounts owed by You to BILL.
7. Returned Transactions
You are solely responsible for the accuracy of the payment information or the
payment instructions provided to BILL. If a payment is refused or returned, BILL
will void the payment, unless BILL in its sole discretion agrees to take other
action on the payment such as crediting or reissuing the payment. If a returned
or refused payment is voided, You authorize BILL to credit the amount of the
payment to Your Payment Account, less any Service Fees or other amounts owed by
You to BILL.
8. Document Management
You may upload invoices, bills, statements of accounts from Vendors, or other
documents ("Bills") to the Inbox of Your BILL account. You may also authorize
Vendors to send electronic Bills to Your BILL account, or You can create Bills
using the Service. You are solely responsible for the Bills uploaded, created,
recorded, processed, approved, paid, and/or synced or shared with third parties
through Your BILL account. BILL is not responsible for any Bills, including
those that are misdirected or not received.
Certain electronic bills may be uploaded to the Inbox of Your BILL account and
identified as “eBills.” Where this option is provided, You may elect to turn on
the eBills service. The eBill service is supported by one or more third parties
who interact with Your Vendors through their own separate processes and
agreements with Your Vendors, which are outside the control of BILL. As a
result, BILL will not be held liable for, and you accept the risk of loss
arising from, any error, delay, failure or inaccuracy of any eBill.
9. Auto Bill Entry
BILL offers, and You may choose to use, if available, an auto bill entry service
(“Auto Bill Entry”) that can assist You in entering information into the Service
from Bills that you upload or receive. The Auto Bill Entry option may be
provided, in part, by third party service providers, including CloudFactory. By
choosing to use the Auto Bill Entry option, You understand that Auto Bill Entry
is governed by this Agreement and by the terms of service and privacy policy, as
applicable, of any third party service provider. CloudFactory’s Terms of Service
are available at
https://info.cloudfactory.com/bdc/toshttps://info.cloudfactory.com/bdc/tos.
10. Electronic Payments
10.1 ACH Applicable Rules and Law. Your use of the Bill Payment Service will
include Your consent and authorization for BILL to process and originate
electronic ACH debits and credits. You agree that all electronic ACH
transactions requested or processed in connection with Your BILL account or Your
use of the Service are subject to this Agreement, the Operating Rules of the
National Automated Clearing House Association (“Nacha Rules”), and all other
applicable laws, rules and regulations, which may include Uniform Commercial
Code Article 4A or Regulation E. For purposes of the Nacha Rules, BILL is an
“Originator” or a “Third Party Service Provider” or a “Third Party Sender.” BILL
reserves the right to refuse to make any payment through the ACH Network, for
any reason, in BILLs sole discretion.
10.2 Your Agreement and Representations. For purposes of ACH debits and credits,
You:
* understand and agree that all payments processed through the Service via ACH
are funded by an electronic withdrawal (an “ACH debit”) processed for BILL
through the ACH Network from the bank account of the party making payment
(the “Payor”);
* authorize BILL to initiate and process ACH debits and credits in accordance
with Your payment instructions and as provided under this Agreement;
* agree to be subject to and comply with this Agreement, the Nacha Rules, and
all other applicable laws, rules and regulations; and
* represent and warrant that Your Vendor or Customer agrees, or You have the
authority to agree on behalf of Your Customer or Vendor, to be subject to and
comply with this Agreement, the Nacha Rules, and all other applicable laws,
rules and regulations.
10.3 Returns and Maintaining Sufficient Funds. When using the Service, including
the Bill Payment Service, You understand and agree that it may take more than 60
days for BILL to receive notice of the return or reversal of an ACH debit and/or
to exercise any rights granted or reserved under this Agreement. You agree at
all times to maintain sufficient funds in Your Payment Account to satisfy all
obligations to BILL in connection with Your BILL account or Your use of the
Service, including returns, reversals, and associated fees, and to add funds
immediately if BILL notifies You that Your funds are insufficient.
10.4 Ownership of Funds Collected for Payment. In the event that BILL processes
an ACH debit or charges a Card to fund a payment before BILL makes the
associated bill payment disbursement, the funds collected through the ACH debit
from Your Payments Account or through a charge to Your Card will be held in a
master bank account owned by BILL, as custodian and for the benefit of the
Payor. These funds may be commingled with other funds similarly collected and
held by BILL for purposes of making payments requested through the Service. Even
though the funds will be held in an account owned by BILL, the funds are held
solely for the benefit of the Payor, not BILL, and the Payor will be principal
with respect to those funds.
11. American Express Vendor Pay By BILL
If You are eligible to use American Express Vendor Pay by BILL, You may elect to
use American Express’s Card Tokenization Service to make payments to Vendors who
accept American Express. You acknowledge and agree that the Card Tokenization
Service is provided by American Express, a third party and a BILL partner. Your
use of the Card Tokenization Service is governed by the American Express Terms
of Service. BILL expressly disclaims any liability to You for any damages
incurred solely as a result of Your use of the Card Tokenization Service.
12. The BILL Virtual Card Service, formerly known as "Vendor Direct"
12.1 BILL Virtual Card Service. If Your Vendor has confirmed that it accepts
payment by virtual card, Your payments to the Vendor through the Bill Pay
Service may be made using the virtual card payment method (“Virtual Card
Service”, formerly known as "Vendor Direct"). BILL reserves the right to refuse
to make any payment using the Virtual Card Service, or to change the payment
method from the Virtual Card Service to check or ACH for any payment
transaction, for any reason, in BILL’s sole discretion, without BILL incurring
any liability to You.
12.2 Virtual Card Payments. You understand and agree that BILL may use a
third-party service provider (the “Virtual Card Provider”) to issue or manage
the virtual cards used to execute payments requested or initiated through the
Virtual Card Service, subject to BILL’s responsibilities and representations
under this Agreement.
You understand and agree that the virtual card payment option will be available
only to pay Vendors that have confirmed that they accept virtual cards as a
method of payment. You grant to Us, and BILL reserves, the right to choose,
together with the Virtual Card Provider and/or Your Vendor, the manner in which
the virtual card payments will be provided or delivered to Your Vendor. You
understand and agree that neither BILL nor the Virtual Card Manager is
responsible for any costs incurred by Your Vendor in connection with the use of
the Virtual Card Service. The Vendor will be solely responsible for any costs or
fees related to the receipt or processing of the virtual card payment.
A Vendor that participates in the Virtual Card Service may opt out of receiving
virtual card payments at any time. If a Vendor opts out of the Virtual Card
Service and/or virtual card payments from You, Your payments to that Vendor
through the Service will be made by check or electronic ACH payment, based on
Your account settings and/or as provided under this Agreement. You acknowledge
and agree that You are solely responsible for any payment owed by You to a
Vendor, and that BILL has no responsibility or liability related to the
acceptance or return of virtual card payments by a Vendor or the Vendor’s
participation in or opt out of the Virtual Card Service. You grant Us the right
to credit to Your Payment Account the amount(s) of any unprocessed virtual card
payments, less any Service Fees or other amounts owed by You to BILL, as
provided in this Agreement.
12.3 Business Payments Only. Our Virtual Card Service is intended for business
payments. BILL reserves the right, without BILL incurring any liability to You,
to refuse to make any payment using the Virtual Card Service or to change Your
originally selected payment method from virtual card to check or ACH payment if
BILL determines based on commercially reasonable diligence that Your payment is
not a business-to-business payment being made for a commercial purpose.
12.4 Communications. When You use the Bill Payment Service, You authorize BILL
and/or the Virtual Card Provider, on behalf of BILL, to contact Your Vendors to
determine their ability to accept virtual card payments. You represent and
warrant to BILL and/or the Virtual Card Provider that You have all authorization
or consents required to permit BILL or the Virtual Card Provider to contact Your
Vendors.
13. The International Payments Service
13.1 International Payments Service. If You have an eligible BILL account, You
may use the International Payments Service to make payments (“International
Payments”) to Vendors located in certain eligible foreign countries. You
understand and agree that the International Payments Service is part of and
available only for the Bill Payment Service, and the International Payments
Service is not available for the Accounts Receivable Service.
BILL reserves the right to select and change, at any time, for any reason, in
BILLs sole discretion, the eligible countries to which or the eligible
currencies in which You may request payments to be made using the International
Payment Service. BILL reserves the right to refuse any payment transaction
requested or initiated through the International Payments Service, for any
reason, in BILL’s sole discretion, without BILL incurring any liability to You.
13.2 Process Dates. You understand and agree that, for certain International
Payments, You may not be able to select or schedule a future Process Date. We
will provide You with an estimated delivery date for Your International Payment
when You instruct Us to make the payment, but You understand and agree that
actual delivery date may vary. It is Your sole responsibility to ensure that
payment to Your Vendor is made as required by agreement, contract or law.
13.3 Currency Conversion Rates. You understand and agree that (i) International
Payments may require the conversion of currency, and (ii) when making
International Payments, the applicable rate of currency conversion may vary from
the indicative rate displayed when You request the payment and You will be bound
by the applicable rate of currency conversion. We and Our third-party service
providers include a margin on foreign exchange, which is an indirect cost to
You. A margin is the difference between the wholesale exchange rate and the
actual exchange rate used to convert the payment to the foreign currency. You
agree that BILL is not responsible and will not be liable to you for any loss
suffered by You due to any rate fluctuations.
13.4 Third Party Service Providers. You understand and agree that BILL may use
one or more third-party service provider(s) to process or execute International
Payments, to convert currency, and/or to transmit and distribute funds to
Vendors outside the United States.
13.5 Applicable Rules. You understand and agree that International Payments may
be governed by rules of payment networks used to process such payments, OFAC
regulations, and may be subject to the laws of jurisdictions outside the United
States, including the jurisdictions where the Vendors are located. The
application of foreign laws or regulations to Your International Payments may
impact the rights and remedies that You have with respect to the International
Payments.
13.6 Void and Canceled Payment Requests. You acknowledge and agree that BILL
cannot stop or void an International Payment after the payment has begun to
process. If You void or cancel an International Payment request that requires a
currency conversion, then any costs We incur with regard to that currency
conversion will be borne by You and We are entitled to debit such costs from
Your Billing Account during Your next fee payment cycle. Costs include any loss
to BILL from a fluctuation in the rate We provided for the currency conversion.
If BILL is unable to charge the Billing Account for any reason, You agree to pay
all such costs within 5 business days of notice of non-payment from BILL. If
amounts owed are not paid within 5 days of that notice, interest will accrue on
all past due amounts at the rate of 1.5% per month or the highest rate of
interest allowed by law (whichever is less), calculated from the date the amount
was due until the date that payment is received.
13.7 Currency Conversion Preferences. Where currency conversion is available,
BILL will facilitate a payment transaction in the currency accepted or chosen by
the receiver. If the receiver has not chosen or accepted a currency, then the
transaction will be completed in the currency initiated by the sender.
13.8 Business Payments Only. Our International Payments Service is intended for
business payments or payments made by business entities.
13.9 No Payments to OFAC Sanctioned Countries or Specially Designated Nationals
(SDNs). Our International Payments Service cannot be used, directly or
indirectly, to facilitate payments to OFAC sanctioned countries or to SDNs which
are both prohibited by U.S. law.

in good faith and using its industry knowledge and platform-wide algorithms,
reasonably believes that a Card Payment Dispute is likely to occur with respect
to that Card Payment. BILL may, with notice to You (which may be concurrent),
withhold the payout of amounts subject to (i) a potential Card Payment Dispute
until BILL reasonably believes the Card Payment Dispute is no longer likely to
occur; and (ii) an actual Card Payment Dispute until the Card Payment Dispute is
resolved.
If a Card Payment Dispute occurs for a Card Payment for which funds (“Card
Payment Funds”) have already settled and been disbursed to You, the Card Payment
Dispute results in Your unconditional obligation to return the settled Card
Payment Funds to BILL. Card Payment Funds are credited to Your Payment Account
on the condition that there is no Card Payment Dispute. If a Customer claims a
Card Payment Dispute in accordance with relevant network and issuer rules, You
lose entitlement to the relevant Card Payment Funds and must return that amount
to BILL.
For every Card Payment Dispute where BILL is obliged to pay the Card Payment
Dispute amount to any third-party, You give BILL authority to deduct the same
amount from your Payment Account. If there are insufficient funds in Your
Payment Account to cover the debit for the Chargeback, this will result in a
“Negative Balance”. A Negative Balance represents an amount that you owe to
BILL, and, in this situation, You must immediately add funds to your Payment
Account to resolve the Negative Balance. If you don’t immediately add funds to
cover Your Negative Balance, BILL may: (1) engage in collection efforts to
recover the amount due from You to BILL; (2) place a limitation on Your BILL
Account; or (3) take other action on Your BILL account as provided in this
Agreement.
6a.3 BILL Remedies. If (i) You incur excessive (over 0.5% of total monthly
processing volume) Card Payment Disputes in three consecutive months or have a
material number of such disputes unresolved for longer than 60 days; (ii) You
materially breach this Agreement; (iii) BILL forms a reasonable belief that You
may be unable to cover future liabilities under this Agreement (including if
there is a material risk of Your insolvency, or if You are the subject of a
large number of Customer complaints); (iv) You issue a large volume of refunds
of Card Payment Funds that result in a Negative Balance; (v) You have committed
compliance violations, including being placed on any watchlist maintained by a
regulator; or (vi) You violate BILLs Acceptable Use Policy, each as reasonably
determined by BILL, BILL, upon notice to You, may do any or all of the following
in order to mitigate the risk to BILL: (i) initiate reversals; (ii) delay the
payout of settlement funds to Your Payment Account; and/or (iii) suspend Your
ability to submit Card Payments.
6a.4 Challenging a Dispute. You are immediately responsible to us for all Card
Payment Disputes, refunds, reversals, or returns regardless of the reason,
timing, or method of payment. In many but not all cases, You may have the
ability to challenge a chargeback or dispute by submitting evidence to Us. To
challenge a Card Payment Dispute, you will need to provide documents and other
evidence that BILL requests in order to meet the evidentiary requirements of the
applicable card network. BILL may provide You with guidance on preparing the
required evidence, but We cannot guarantee that Your challenge will be
successful. You agree to provide any documents that BILL requests regarding
challenging a Card Payment Dispute within the timeframe requested by BILL.
Third-parties such as the applicable card network may deny Your challenge for
any reason they deem appropriate. Where a challenge is entirely or partially
successful, a third-party may credit funds associated with the Card Payment that
is the subject of the Card Payment Dispute (or a portion thereof) to Your
appropriate account.
6a.5 Dispute Fees. For every Card Payment Dispute, You will be charged a
non-refundable fee (“Card Payment Fees”). Card Payment Fees charged for
executing the original Card Payment will not be refunded in part or in whole to
You if the Card Payment is made subject to a Card Payment Dispute.
6a.6 Limitation of Liability. WITHOUT LIMITING SECTION 12 (DISCLAIMER OF
WARRANTIES) OR SECTION 14 (LIMITATION OF LIABILITIES) IN THE TERMS, TO THE
MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BILL MAKES NO WARRANTY AND ASSUMES
NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR ANY DISPUTES, CHARGEBACKS, OVERCHARGES,
DELAYED PAYMENTS, INSUFFICIENT FUNDS, EXPIRED CARDS, CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND OUR
CONTROL (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION POWER OUTAGES, SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS OR
OTHERWISE), OR OTHER ISSUES RELATING TO TRANSACTIONS MADE THROUGH BILL OR OTHER
SERVICES OFFERED BY THE RELEVANT THIRD-PARTY SERVICES.
Card Payment Disputes can arise from both authorized and unauthorized Card
Payments. BILL is not responsible for or liable to You for authorized and
completed charges or payments that are later the subject of a Card Payment
Dispute, refund, or reversal, are submitted without authorization or in error,
or violate any laws.
6b. Expedited Payment Services Including Instant Transfer
6b.1 Expedited Payment Services. For certain payments made to You through the
Accounts Receivable Service, You may have the option to receive the funds
quickly through Our expedited payment services, including as soon as thirty
minutes through the Instant Transfer Service. Expedited payment services,
including Instant Transfer transactions may be facilitated by Us through a
variety of payment networks, all in Our discretion, including but not limited to
Real Time Payments (“RTP”) network (where Your bank accepts RTP), Next Day ACH,
Same Day ACH, or may be paid to the account associated with a debit card that
You provide when You elect the Instant Transfer Service. We may charge a
transaction fee for expedited payment services which is separate and distinct
from any subscription fee You may pay for participation in a subscription plan.
Use of the Instant Transfer Service is conditioned on Your acceptance of and
will be governed by this Agreement and, where You use a debit card with this
service, it may also be subject to the agreement of Our third party service
provider. If an agreement with Our third party service provider is required, it
will be provided to You when You elect Instant Transfer. Expedited payment
services may also be subject to The Clearing House RTP System Operating Rules,
the Uniform Commercial Code Article 4A, Nacha Rules, and applicable card network
rules.
6b.2 Representations and Warranties with our Expedited Payment Services. When
You use Our expedited payment services, in addition to other representations and
warranties, You represent and warrant the following as of the date You elect any
expedited payment transaction:
* Each expedited payment transaction funds an obligation of Your Customer to
You that arose in the ordinary course of business between You and the
Customer and is unconditionally owed to You without any defenses, disputes,
offsets, counterclaims, or rights of return or cancellation;
* To the best of Your knowledge, Your Customer is not insolvent or unable to
pay its obligations in the ordinary course, is not contemplating filing for
bankruptcy, and is not subject to any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership,
conservatorship or other similar proceedings;
* You have a reasonable basis to believe that Your Customer has funds available
in such Customer’s bank account to fund the expedited payment transaction;
and
* You are not aware of any circumstance indicating that there is a significant
risk that the method Your Customer used to fund the expedited payment
transaction (i.e., ACH or Card) will be returned, rejected, dishonored, or
disputed.
By using Our expedited payment services, You are requesting that BILL provide
expedited availability of funds for Your Customer’s payment pending settlement
of such payment, and You acknowledge that BILL’s willingness to provide such
expedited funds availability is contingent on Your representations and
warranties above. You agree and acknowledge that providing You with advance
availability of funds is not a loan, but a feature of BILL’s payment services,
and You agree not to characterize any expedited payment transaction as a loan.
6b.3 Remedies for Breach of the Representations and Warranties in this Section.
Without limited other available remedies, if the method of funding Your Customer
provided for an expedited payment transaction is rejected, reversed or returned
and We reasonably believe that You breached any representation or warranty to
Us; then YOU AUTHORIZE BILL 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 BILL UPON DEMAND. You also agree to pay all penalties, interest charges,
late payment fees and service fees related to any breach of Your representations
and warranties.
6b.4 Canceled Expedited Payments. Payment with Our expedited payment services
may be canceled for various reasons including “time-outs” of the RTP network, as
defined by The Clearing House, in which case the payment may be resubmitted if
possible. If Your expedited payment, including Instant Transfer payment, cannot
be resubmitted, You may receive Your payment via electronic ACH payment.
6b.5 Rejected Expedited Payments. If a payment with Our expedited payment
service, including Instant Transfer payment, is rejected by Your financial
institution or any third party provider, BILL is not responsible to You for the
payment, or any other loss, damages, or costs related to the payment.
6c. Virtual Card Disbursements
6c.1 BILL Virtual Card Service. You may elect to receive disbursements from Your
Customers through our BILL Virtual Card payment method (the “Virtual Card
Service”, formerly known as "Vendor Direct") where this option is made available
to You on Our platform.
Where we have reasonably determined that You accept card payments, You also
grant to Us, and BILL reserves the right to choose, together with our third
party providers and/or Your Customer, to pay You through our Virtual Card
Service, and the manner in which the virtual card payments will be provided or
delivered to You. Where such determination is made, You consent to disbursements
to You through the Virtual Card Service for payments from any of Your Customers.
You may also opt out of receiving disbursements through the Virtual Card Service
at any time by contacting Your Customer or Us to update Your preferences. We
will discontinue the Virtual Card Service to You within a reasonable time after
We receive notice from You or Your Customer. If You opt out of the Virtual Card
Service, disbursements to You will be made by check, electronic ACH payment or
through other disbursement services available to You. BILL reserves the right to
refuse to make any payment using the Virtual Card Service, or to change the
payment method from the Virtual Card Service to check or ACH for any
transaction, for any reason, in BILL’s sole discretion, without BILL incurring
any liability to You.
You understand and agree that neither BILL nor its third party providers are
responsible for any costs incurred by You in connection with a disbursement
pursuant to the Virtual Card Service and that You will be solely responsible for
any costs or fees related to the receipt or processing of the virtual card
payment, which are separate and apart from any subscription fees You may pay Us.
6c.2 Business Payments Only. Our Virtual Card Service is intended for business
payments. BILL reserves the right, without BILL incurring any liability to You,
to refuse to make any payment using the Virtual Card Service or to change Your
originally selected payment method from virtual card to check or ACH payment if
BILL determines based on commercially reasonable diligence that Your payment is
not a business-to-business payment being made for a commercial purpose.

2.5 Agent of the Payee; Receipt of Funds. When You use the Card Disbursements

of Your Customer up to the amount of the funds received.
2.6 Applicability of I2G Agreement. The I2G Agreement will continue to govern
the services provided by Invoice2Go (the “I2G Service'') and will prevail over
this Agreement with regard to the I2G Services. Your use of the Card
Disbursements Service will be governed by this Agreement and will prevail over
the I2G Agreement with regard to the Service offered herein, including the
transmission of any funds from Your Customers to You and the credit, debit or
other adjustments to Your Designated Account.
2.7 Tax Obligations: You will be responsible for paying, withholding, filing,
and reporting all taxes, including sale and use tax and other governmental
assessments now in force, enacted, or imposed in the future associated with Your

sole discretion, do any of the foregoing on Your behalf and seek reimbursement
from You for the cost of doing so.
* If we request that You provide Your tax identification number and/or a US tax

agree that You may be subject to limitations with regard to this Service or
Your I2G Service and to federal and state withholding tax at the applicable
rates on all US source income payments received.

applicable, You consent to BILL withhold tax at the applicable rate from
payments to you. We will send all withholding taxes to the appropriate
taxing authorities and cannot refund those amounts.
2.8 Third-Party Disputes. BILL.COM IS NOT AFFILIATED WITH ANY OTHER INVOICE2GO
USER, YOUR CUSTOMERS, CARRIERS, SERVICE PROVIDERS OR THIRD PARTIES THAT YOU USE
OR ARE EMPLOYED BY (COLLECTIVELY, “THIRD PARTIES”) AND ANY DISPUTE YOU HAVE WITH
ANY THIRD PARTY ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, YOUR CUSTOMERS, IS SOLELY BETWEEN YOU AND SUCH THIRD PARTY, AND YOU
IRREVOCABLY RELEASE BILL.COM (AND OUR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AGENTS, SUBSIDIARIES,
JOINT VENTURES, AND EMPLOYEES) FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS AND DAMAGES
(INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DIRECT AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES AND OTHER
SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES)) OF EVERY KIND AND NATURE, KNOWN AND
UNKNOWN, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH SUCH DISPUTES. BILL WILL
NOT, AND WILL NOT ATTEMPT, TO REVERSE OR OTHERWISE RECOVER ANY TRANSACTION THAT
IS SUBJECT TO A DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND ANY THIRD PARTY. BILL.COM IS UNDER NO
OBLIGATION TO PAY YOU IF THE AMOUNT FUNDED BY YOUR CUSTOMER IS INSUFFICIENT TO
COVER THE TOTAL AMOUNT DUE FROM YOUR CUSTOMER.
2.9 Chargebacks and Refunds.
* A (“Chargeback”) is a Card Payment that is successfully charged back by
request of Your Customer or the issuer of the Customer’s card resulting in
the cancellation of a Card Payment for which You have been paid or are due to
be paid. If a Chargeback occurs for a Card Payment for which funds (“Card
Payment Funds”) have already settled and been disbursed to You, the
Chargeback results in Your unconditional obligation to return the settled
Card Payment Funds to Invoice2Go or BILL.
* Your receipt of a settlement and/or authorization for a Card Payment does not
unconditionally entitle You to receive or keep the Card Payment Funds. If an
End Customer successfully claims a Chargeback in accordance with relevant
network and issuer rules, You lose entitlement to the relevant amount and
must return that amount to Invoice2Go or BILL.
* BILL may withhold the amount of the Chargeback from the Card Payment Funds
from subsequent Card Payments made to You through Your I2G Money Service.
Card Payments are credited to Your Disbursement Account on the condition that
no Chargeback shall occur.
* For every Chargeback where I2G is obliged to pay the Chargeback amount, You
give BILL the authority to deduct the same amount from your Disbursement
Account. If there are insufficient funds in Your Disbursement Account to
cover the debit for the Chargeback, this will result in a (“Negative
Balance”). A Negative Balance represents an amount that You owe to
Invoice2Go, and, in this situation, You must immediately add funds to Your
Disbursement Account to resolve the Negative Balance.
* Limitation of Liability. WITHOUT LIMITING SECTION 11 (DISCLAIMER OF
WARRANTIES) OR SECTION 12 (LIMITATION OF LIABILITIES) IN THE TERMS, TO THE
MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BILL.COM MAKES NO WARRANTY AND
ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR ANY DISPUTES, CHARGEBACKS,
OVERCHARGES, DELAYED PAYMENTS, INSUFFICIENT FUNDS, EXPIRED CARDS,
CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND OUR CONTROL (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION POWER OUTAGES,
SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS OR OTHERWISE), OR OTHER ISSUES RELATING TO TRANSACTIONS
MADE THROUGH BILL.COM OR OTHER SERVICES OFFERED BY THE ANY THIRD-PARTY TO
YOU.
* Card Payment Disputes can arise from both authorized and unauthorized Card
Payments. BILL is not responsible for or liable to You for authorized and
completed charges or payments that are later the subject of a Card Payment
Dispute, refund, or reversal, are submitted without authorization or in
error, or violate any laws.
2.10 Expedited Payment Services Including Instant Transfer
* For eligible payments made to You through this Service, You may have the
option to receive the funds quickly through Our expedited payment services,
including as soon as thirty minutes through the Instant Transfer Service.
Expedited payment services, including Instant Transfer transactions may be
facilitated by Us through a variety of payment networks, all in Our
discretion, including but not limited to Real Time Payments (“RTP”) network
(where Your bank accepts RTP), Next Day ACH, Same Day ACH, or may be paid to
the account associated with a debit card that You provide when You elect the
Instant Transfer Service. We may charge a transaction fee for expedited
payment service which will be disclosed to You when the feature is offered.
Use of the Instant Transfer Service is conditioned on Your acceptance of and
will be governed by this Agreement and, where You use a debit card with this
service, it may also be subject to Your agreement of our third party service
provider. If an agreement with a third party service provider is required, it
will be provided to You when You elect Instant Transfer in the I2G Product.
Expedited payment services may also be subject to The Clearing House RTP
System Operating Rules, the Uniform Commercial Code Article 4A, Nacha Rules,
and applicable card network rules.
* Representations and Warranties with our Expedited Payment Services. When You
use Our expedited payment services, in addition to other representations and
warranties, You represent and warrant the following as of the date You elect
any expedited payment transaction:
* Each expedited payment transaction funds an obligation of Your Customer to
You that arose in the ordinary course of business between You and the
Customer and is unconditionally owed to You without any defenses,
disputes, offsets, counterclaims, or rights of return or cancellation;
* To the best of Your knowledge, Your Customer is not insolvent or unable to
pay its obligations in the ordinary course, is not contemplating filing
for bankruptcy, and is not subject to any bankruptcy, insolvency,
receivership, conservatorship or other similar proceedings;
* You have a reasonable basis to believe that Your Customer has funds
available in such Customer’s bank account to fund the expedited payment
transaction; and
* You are not aware of any circumstance indicating that there is a
significant risk that the method Your Customer used to fund the expedited
payment transaction (i.e., ACH or Card) will be returned, rejected,
dishonored, or disputed.
* By using Our expedited payment services, You are requesting that BILL provide
expedited availability of funds for Your Customer’s payment pending
settlement of such payment, and You acknowledge that BILL’s willingness to
provide such expedited funds availability is contingent on Your
representations and warranties above. You agree and acknowledge that
providing You with advance availability of funds is not a loan, but a feature
of BILL’s money transmission services, and You agree not to characterize any
expedited payment transaction as a loan.
* Remedies for Breach of the Representations and Warranties in this Section.
Without limited other available remedies, if the method of funding Your
Customer provided for an expedited payment transaction is rejected, reversed
or returned and We reasonably believe that You breached any representation or
warranty to Us; then YOU AUTHORIZE BILL 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 BILL UPON DEMAND. You also agree to pay all
penalties, interest charges, late payment fees and service fees related to
any breach of Your representations and warranties.
* Cancelled Expedited Payments. Payment with Our expedited payment services may
be canceled for various reasons including “time-outs” of the RTP network, as
defined by The Clearing House, in which case the payment may be resubmitted
if possible. If Your expedited payment, including Instant Transfer payment,
cannot be resubmitted, You may receive Your payment via electronic ACH
payment.
* Rejected Expedited Payments. If a payment with Our expedited payment service,
including Instant Transfer payment, is rejected by Your financial institution
or any third party provider, BILL is not responsible to You for the payment,
or any other loss, damages, or costs related to the payment.
