Payee acknowledges that the Enrollment Form submitted to Nexus or its designee by Payee sets forth accurate and complete information about the Payer, including the Settlement Account designated by Payee for debiting and/or crediting by Nexus or its Agent in the processing of Payment Instructions and the payment of Fees. 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.

3. Funds Transfer Procedures for ACH Services. 

3.1 Designation of Settlement Accounts. You must designate a commercial deposit account at a financial institution located in the United States to serve as your Settlement Account for use with the ACH Services. You may not designate a consumer account as the Settlement Account.

3.1.1 Permission for Nexus to Access Settlement Account. You authorize us and our Agents to credit and debit the Settlement Account for Payment Instructions we receive and for fees pursuant to the Program Documents, and in accordance with the rules and procedures of the applicable clearinghouse association and/or other payment system and the Settlement institution.

If you enter into a loan agreement with a third party that seeks to affect or change Settlement directions, you must notify us. If the Settlement Account indicated in our records becomes inactive or Settlement Amounts directed to the Settlement Account are returned to us, we may hold Payment Instructions and/or Settlement Amounts until you contact us to establish a new Settlement Account.

3.2 Credits to Payee’s Settlement Account.

3.2.1 Payment by Payer of Principal Amount of Commercial Payment. We will debit Settlement Amounts from the Payer’s Settlement Account and such Settlement Amounts will be credited in accordance with Section 3.4.

3.2.2 Credits to Payee’s Settlement Account. We will initiate an electronic transfer of funds as a credit for Settlement Amounts to your Settlement Account on Banking Days in accordance with Section 3.4.

3.2.3 Provisional Settlement.

If we do not receive related Settlement from the Payer or the Payer reverses its payment of Settlement, then you authorize us to debit your Settlement Account for the amount of Settlement.

3.2.4 Collection or Offset of Fee Obligations. Where Fees in the type and amount set forth in these Terms of Use are payable by you, you authorize us to debit your Settlement Account, to offset against any amounts otherwise payable to you or by you for the full amount of any Fee obligations you have under the Program Documents when such Fee obligations are due and payable to us.

3.2.5 Payee’s Failure to Accept Settlement. You will not be entitled to compensation or interest for lost funds availability due to your or your Agent’s inability to accept or receive a Settlement Amount. If you or your Agent, or the financial institution where your Settlement Account is located is unable to accept Settlement Amounts for any reason, we will, in our discretion, pay the amount due to the Payee upon receipt of bank account information or other payment directions from you or your Agent that we deem sufficient or return such Settlement Amounts to Payer less any applicable Fees payable by Payee and Payer.

3.3 Processing of Settlement. We may use any means of transmission, funds transfer system, clearinghouse, or intermediary bank that we reasonably select to debit Settlement Amounts. Settlement Amounts will be settled with Payers using Fedwire and credited to Payees using the automated clearinghouse system. If you seek to receive Settlement through any other means, including a wire transfer system, you shall pay a Fee for such service in the amount specified in these Terms of Use. 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. Actual movement of funds may be effected by a funds transfer Agent selected by us.

3.4 Settlement Timing. We will pay Settlement Amounts to you according to the process detailed in this Section 3.4, unless we have notified you, in writing, of different Settlement Timing.

For Payment Instructions successfully received by us in electronic form and in compliance with the Program Documents at or before 9:00 a.m. ET on a Banking Day (“Payment Instruction Cut-Off”), we will use commercially reasonable efforts to initiate an electronic transfer of the Settlement Amount to the Payee’s Settlement Account on the second following Banking Day. Payment Instructions received after the Payment Instruction Cut-Off shall be deemed to be received on the next Banking day. 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.

3.4.1 Changes to Settlement Timing. We may change the schedule for Settlement timing upon five (5) Banking Days’ written notice to you. Our initiation of Settlement to you on a certain day does not mean you will receive Settlement Amounts on that day. Actual timing of your receipt of Settlement Amounts depends on a number of factors, and these time frames are subject to maintenance periods indicated in the Program Documents or in notices from us as set forth in Section 6.18. Payment Instructions received during maintenance periods will be processed after the end of the maintenance period. If the Program Documents provide that we will debit or credit Settlement Amounts by means other than those set forth in this Section 3.4.1, we will debit or credit Settlement Amounts in accordance with the Program Documents.

3.5 Settlement Adjustments. We may process Adjustments to you with respect to Payment Instructions and/or Settlement Amounts that have been improperly processed, including due to any error by us, our Agent, a Payer, or you.

3.6 Suspension of Settlement. We may, in our discretion, change the timing of your Settlement, or withhold or suspend processing of Payment Instructions, without prior notice to you, as required by law and/or in order to exercise our rights under the Program Documents.

3.7 No Defenses to Payment. You agree that you shall fully, completely, and timely satisfy your payment obligations in accordance with the Program Documents, without offset or deduction and without asserting any defense to payment (including any defenses you may have at law, in equity, or otherwise against a Payee).

You agree to any the outstanding amounts you owe, including any Fees we may assess, and you agree to immediately transmit such amounts to us upon demand.

3.9 No Settlement for Virtual Card and CPX Direct Services. PAYMENTS UTILIZING THE CPX DIRECT SERVICE OR THE VIRTUAL CARD SERVICE SHALL BE PROCESSED THROUGH YOUR INDEPENDENT RELATIONSHIPS WITH YOUR CREDIT CARD PROCESSOR. NONE OF THE TERMS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THE INITIATION OF SETTLEMENT SHALL APPLY WITH RESPECT TO THE CPX DIRECT SERVICE OR THE VIRTUAL CARD SERVICE.

3.10 Currency. All amounts due from you as set forth in these Terms of Use shall be paid in U.S. Dollars.

4. Error Resolution Process.

4.1 Limited Right of Payee to Assert Errors. You may only challenge or dispute a Payment Instruction or Settlement for our failure to execute such Payment Instruction and initiate Settlement in accordance with the Program Documents. You have no other rights to dispute, otherwise challenge, or attempt to reverse any Payment Instruction or Settlement once submitted. The foregoing does not limit your rights at law or in equity to dispute or challenge a payment or an alleged obligation to make a payment to a third party; provided, however, that any such dispute or challenge and its resolution must occur outside of the Nexus Payments Program.

You shall send us written notice promptly upon becoming aware of any error or discrepancy in initiation of Settlement. Such notice must include a description of the affected Payment Instruction or Settlement. If, following receipt of compelling evidence that reflects an error or discrepancy, you fail to provide notice of such error or discrepancy within fourteen (14) days, we will not be liable for any loss or cost relating to such error or discrepancy.

4.2 Payee’s Obligation to Fund Settlement Reversals. Upon our determination that we have committed an error in processing a Payment Instruction or associated Settlement, we will use our commercially reasonable efforts to remedy such error and you agree to cooperate with us in our efforts to resolve any such error.

You agree to use the Nexus Payments Services in accordance with the relevant Security Procedures. You acknowledge that the purpose of the Security Procedures is to verify that a Payment Instruction has been authorized by the Payer, not to detect errors in the transmission or content of Payment Instructions. You represent and warrant that the Security Procedures are a commercially reasonable method of (a) processing Payment Instructions and initiating Settlement, including as set forth in Section 2; (b) limiting Nexus’s access to your Settlement Account, and changes thereto, including as set forth in Section 3.1.3; and (c) confirming the validity of proposed changes to the Enrollment Information, including as set forth in Section 2.5.1.
