Settlement Account information provided by Payee to Nexus may be updated by an Authorized Representative of Payee by following the procedures specified by Nexus. Such update shall become effective on the date specified by Payee; provided, however, that no update shall become effective less than ten (10) days after Payee’s Authorized Representative provides such updated information to Nexus.

In addition, you authorize us to complete Settlement with you for Settlement Amounts payable by you under the Program Documents using any of the following means, in our sole discretion: (a) debiting your Settlement Account; (b) offsetting amounts otherwise payable to you; and/or (c) making demand on you for such amounts.

If a Holding Period applies to the Settlement of Payment Instructions, we will notify you and will pay Settlement Amounts as set forth below. For Payment Instructions received on or before the Payment Instruction Cut-Off on the Processing Date before the first day of the Holding Period, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to initiate an electronic transfer of the Settlement Amount to the Payee’s Settlement Account on the first Banking Day after the Holding Period; provided, that if the Processing Date is a Saturday or Sunday, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to initiate an electronic transfer of the Settlement Amount to the Payee’s Settlement Account on the second Banking Day after the Holding Period.

Payment Instructions received during maintenance periods will be processed after the end of the maintenance period.

You have no other rights to dispute, otherwise challenge, or attempt to reverse any Payment Instruction or Settlement once submitted.
