D & A Services, ONLINE ACCOUNT PAYMENT SERVICE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
These terms and conditions are designed to provide you with information regarding our Online Payment Service (the "service") and outline important conditions which apply to the use of this service. This service is provided by D & A Services. The service is subject to certain consumer bank regulatory protections described in the Electronic Fund Transfers Act and regulations issued by the Federal Reserve Board. When you initiate an online payment with D & A Services, you and any person you authorize to perform functions on your account agree to these Terms and Conditions without limitation or qualification. Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully in their entirety. We also suggest that you print a copy of these Terms and Conditions for your records.
1. Services Offered.
D & A Services's Online Payment Service allows you to authorize D & A Services to initiate Automated Clearing House (ACH) debit transaction(s) from your bank account to pay towards your account balance currently held by D & A Services. The Service is only accessible using your reference number and other required information. You agree not to provide your personal information to anyone not authorized to sign on to your account and make payments on your behalf.
2. Payments.
Any payments made through this website are considered voluntary. By processing a payment for less than the full balance owed, we are not agreeing to a payment arrangement unless confirmed by our office. Payments made shall be applied to the balance of your account unless other arrangements have been confirmed by our office. Making a payment via this website will not suspend further collection activity unless confirmed by our office. All payments made via this website are final.
2. Erroneous Instructions.
We will use all reasonable efforts to process your payments properly using the information you provide. Our system is designed to alert you throughout the use of the service should errors occur. However, if we receive a payment instruction authorized by you (or an authorized user) and the instruction is erroneous in any way, we shall not be liable for the error.
3. Transaction Limitations.
Be advised that some bank accounts have limits on the numbers or amounts of transfers or withdrawals that may be made within a given time period. Your financial institution may refuse transactions that exceed these limits. We recommend you check with your financial institution to determine what limitations may apply to your account. Be advised that online payments will only be accepted from U.S. bank accounts and we will not be able to process requests to international bank accounts. If we are not able to debit the amount required to cover an authorized payment from your account, we will not be able to make the payment you have authorized, and will not be held liable for any costs, damages, etc., caused by the failure to make the payment. We have no obligation to try to debit an account for a specific payment more than once.
4. Cutoff Hours.
If we receive payment authorizations from you on or before 3:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on a business day, we will attempt to debit the funds from your account on that business day. Otherwise, the funds will be debited from your account on the next business day. Once the ACH authorization is given, we cannot stop the debit from your account.
5. Fees.
Your financial institution may impose fees in connection with your use of this service or otherwise. Said fees are not charged by or associated with D & A Services, and D & A Services will not be held responsible for the imposition of any such fees.
6. Electronic Disclosures.
We are required to provide you with certain disclosures and notices which are mandated by various laws and rules. You consent to receive all such disclosures electronically. All such disclosures will be provided to you either electronically or via U.S. Mail, as mandated by law and the policies and procedures of D & A Services.
