• clearXchange provides no deposit account or other financial services. clearXchange neither transfers, moves nor initiates the transfer or movement of money. You may not establish a financial account with clearXchange of any kind and your agreement to be a User relates to your registration of an email address or mobile phone number as your profile identification in the Network Directory and your permission for clearXchange to share your personal information (including your bank account number provided to clearXchange) with our Network Banks for the purpose of completing money transfers between Network Bank Customers and you.

You must provide us with an email address that you regularly use and intend to use regularly (i.e., no disposable email addresses) and a permanent mobile phone number that you intend to use for an extended period of time (i.e., no “burner” numbers).
• You must register through the Site from your personal computer or a web-enabled tablet or mobile device.
• We require you to use an email address as your username for access and to establish a password that meets the security requirements described on our Site.
• At registration, we will collect information from you necessary to verify your identity, which we will do to protect you and us from fraud and to comply with applicable laws. We reserve the right to deny your registration or request additional information from you if you do not provide us with this information, if we cannot verify your identity, or if we have concerns about fraud or security.
• We also may request additional information about you from time to time. We may cancel or suspend your registration or block a transaction if you do not provide us with this information, if we cannot verify your identity with the information you provide, or if we have concerns about fraud or security. Once registered, you may receive money from any Network Bank Customer at that customer’s initiation.

6. Consumer Reports

This information is used to process your registration, to verify your identity, to verify your bank account information and to protect against or prevent actual or potential fraud or unauthorized use. We reserve the right to decline your registration if we are unable to verify your identity or your bank account information.

7. Receiving Money; Money Transfers by Network Banks; Liability for Failed Transactions

All transfers of money to you shall be performed by a Network Bank per the direction of that Network Bank Customer and at all times subject to the terms and conditions of the relevant service agreement between that Network Bank and its customer, including without limitation any restrictions or prohibitions on permissible transactions. Once a Network Bank Customer initiates a transfer of money to an email address or mobile phone number registered in the Network Directory, you have no ability to stop it. By using the Service, you agree and authorize our Network Banks to initiate credit entries to the bank account you have registered with clearXchange. Credit entries to your account and the transmission and issuance of data related to such entries shall be processed pursuant to the terms of this Service Agreement and the rules of the National Automated Clearing House Association ("NACHA") and the applicable automated clearing house ("ACH Operator") (collectively, the "Rules") and you, we and the Network Banks agree to be bound by such Rules.

Except as otherwise provided below in Section 10, clearXchange shall have no liability to you for any such transfers of money by our Network Banks, including without limitation, (i) any failure by a Network Bank to complete a transaction to your bank account in the correct amount or (ii) any related losses or damages.

8. Transaction Errors

If you have a question about a transfer that you received or expected to receive, then you should contact the sender first and attempt to resolve the issue. ALL QUESTIONS ABOUT TRANSFERS FACILITATED BY CLEARXCHANGE SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO US AND NOT TO THE FINANCIAL INSTITUTION WHERE YOU HAVE YOUR ACCOUNT.

We will not send you a periodic statement listing transfers facilitated through clearXchange. Those transfers will appear only on the statement issued by your financial institution. PLEASE RETAIN THE RECORDS FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES AND CHECK THEM AGAINST THE STATEMENT YOU RECEIVE FROM YOUR FINANCIAL INSTITUTION.

In case of errors or questions about your transactions facilitated through clearXchange, please contact us by telephone at 866-839-3488 or +1 501-748-8506 or by e-mail at TransactionError@clearXchange.com as promptly as you can. You understand that clearXchange hosts a centralized database of information to facilitate payments, but neither initiates nor processes electronic payments or transfers directly.

Please contact us immediately if:

• YOU BELIEVE THAT YOUR CLEARXCHANGE PASSWORD HAS BEEN STOLEN OR COMPROMISED OR THAT SOMEONE USING THE SERVICE HAS TRANSFERRED OR MAY TRANSFER MONEY FROM YOUR BANK ACCOUNT WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION.
• Your bank statement or transaction record reflects an error in a money transfer using the Service.
• You need more information about a money transfer using the Service.
• An unauthorized person has discovered your clearXchange password and may divert money meant for you to their account.
• You believe that someone has transferred money to you using the Service but you did not receive it.

IF YOU BELIEVE THAT THE SERVICE HAS BEEN USED TO MAKE AN UNAUTHORIZED WITHDRAWAL FROM YOUR ACCOUNT, THEN YOU SHOULD CONTACT YOUR FINANCIAL INSTITUTION IN ADDITION TO CLEARXCHANGE. FAILURE TO NOTIFY YOUR FINANCIAL INSTITUTION DIRECTLY AND PROMPTLY MIGHT LIMIT YOUR RIGHTS UNDER YOUR ACCOUNT AGREEMENT AND APPLICABLE LAW.

9. Your Liability for Unauthorized Transfers

A. Consumer Accounts Only

Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible losses down.

If you tell us verbally, we may require you to send us your complaint or question in writing at TransactionError@clearXchange.com within ten (10) business days. When you contact us, please provide the following information to the extent known:

• Your name and the email address or mobile phone number you registered with clearXchange.
• The date and dollar amount of the transaction in question.
• If known, the name of the Network Bank Customer and the name of their bank.
• A description of the transaction about which you are unsure.

Please explain as clearly as you can why you believe there is an error or why you need more information.

We will work with the Network Bank that initiated the transfer to investigate your claim and we will determine whether an error occurred within ten (10) business days after we hear from you. Any error discovered as the result of the investigation will be promptly corrected. If more time is needed, up to forty-five (45) days may be taken to investigate your complaint or question. In this case, your consumer bank account will be credited within ten (10) business days for the amount you think is in error, so that you have the use of the money during the time it takes to complete the investigation. If you are asked to put your complaint or question in writing, and your letter is not received in ten (10) business days, your account may not be provisionally credited.

We will give you the results of our investigation within three (3) business days after completing the investigation. If the investigation concludes there was no error, you will receive a written explanation. In this case, any provisional credit made to your bank account may be reversed and you authorize our Network Banks to debit the bank account you have registered with clearXchange. You may request copies of the documents that were used in the investigation.

B. Business Accounts Only

You agree to: 1) keep your password secure and strictly confidential, providing it only to authorized signers on your account(s); 2) instruct each person to whom you give your password that he or she is not to disclose it to any unauthorized person; and 3) immediately notify us and select a new password if you believe your password may have become known to an unauthorized person. We will have no liability to you for any unauthorized payment or transfer made using your password that occurs before you have notified us of possible unauthorized use and we have had a reasonable opportunity to act on that notice. We may suspend or cancel your password even without receiving such notice from you, if we suspect your password is being used in an unauthorized or fraudulent manner.

We will have no liability to you for any errors or losses you sustain in using the Service except where we fail to exercise ordinary care in processing any transaction. Our liability in any case will be limited to the amount of any funds improperly transferred from your account less any amount which, even with the exercise of ordinary care, would have been lost.

Without regard to care or lack of care of either you or us, a failure on your part to report to us any unauthorized transfer or error from your account within thirty (30) days of your receipt of a bank statement showing such unauthorized transfer or error shall relieve us of any liability for any losses sustained after the expiration of such thirty-day period and you shall thereafter be precluded from asserting any such claim or error.

10. Liability for Failure to Complete Transfers: Consumer Accounts Only

If a transfer to or from your deposit account in the correct amount or according to our agreement with you is not completed, we will be liable for those damages as the law imposes in such cases. However, there are some exceptions, and clearXchange and its Network Banks have no liability for your losses or damages:

• If, through no fault of ours, the sender does not properly complete the transfer to your account.
• If our Service or Network Bank’s services weren't working properly, and the sender knew about the malfunction when the sender initiated the transfer.
• If the financial institution holding your account mishandles or delays processing or posting a transfer facilitated by the Service.
• If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood) prevented the transaction or transfer, despite reasonable precautions we've taken.

The list of examples set out in this paragraph is meant to illustrate circumstances under which we would not be liable for a transfer not being completed and is not intended to list all of the circumstances where we would not be liable.

11. Notification of Change

Your financial institution may send a Notification of Change (“NOC”) to a Network Bank to indicate that your account information contained in an ACH entry is erroneous and needs to be changed. With respect to you receiving payments through the Service, our Network Banks will share any NOC messages from your financial institution with clearXchange. You agree that clearXchange may correct your account information in our User database promptly upon receipt of that NOC notification without further notice to you.

12. Fees

clearXchange charges no fees for your use of our Service to complete transfers between our Network Banks and you. However, clearXchange reserves the right to charge a fee in the future for any current Service, and clearXchange may develop new uses or other services for Users and a fee may apply for such other uses or services. You will be notified in advance of any fees in accordance with Section 2 above. Fees, when applicable, will be displayed prior to each use of Service. Please note that clearXchange has no responsibility for any fees that your financial institution or your mobile carrier may charge you in connection with your transactions through clearXchange.

13. Limitations on Transfers

Our Network Banks may impose limitations on transfers between their customers and you. Such limitations remain subject to the terms and conditions of the respective service agreements of our Network Banks with their customers.

14. Use of Our Site

You may cancel your use of the Service at any time by notifying us of your intent to cancel by calling us at 866-839-3488 or +1 501-748-8506. Canceling your use of the Service means clearXchange will inactivate your access to our Site, as well as your profile ID in the Network Directory. At the time you instruct clearXchange to cancel your use of the Service, any transfers in process using the Service will be completed to or from your bank account that was associated with your profile ID, but no new transfers will be initiated to or from that bank account through clearXchange. You must re-enroll with clearXchange, or enroll with a P2P service at one of the Network Banks to receive any subsequent payments that a Network Bank customer sends to you after you cancel your use of the Service.

16. clearXchange Right to Terminate Access

Subject to applicable law, clearXchange may terminate or suspend this Service Agreement and your use of our Site and our Service, in whole or in part, at any time for any reason without cause and without prior notice. Any obligations or liabilities incurred by you prior to the date of termination shall survive the termination of this Service Agreement.

You understand that at any time during the term of this Service Agreement your financial institution may become a Network Bank and you may become ineligible to continue as a User. Subject to the terms and conditions of an agreement between clearXchange and your financial institution, we will provide you notice and further instructions relating to the termination of this Service Agreement, access to our Site and our Service and instructions on how to enroll with your financial institution for similar services.

CLASS ACTION WAIVER. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WILL BE RESOLVED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. YOU AND CLEARXCHANGE WAIVE ANY ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR AS A CLASS MEMBER. THERE WILL BE NO CLASS ACTIONS, REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS, OR CONSOLIDATED ACTIONS EITHER IN ARBITRATION OR IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT.

1. Cookies & Other Tracking Technologies & How We Use Them

Like many companies, we may use cookies and other tracking technologies on our Site (referred to together from this point forward as “cookies,” unless otherwise stated) including HTTP cookies, HTML5 and Flash local storage, unique device identifiers, probabilistic finger-printing, deterministic finger-printing, web beacons/GIFs, embedded scripts, and e-tags/cache browsers as defined below.

We may use cookies for a variety of purposes, as outlined in our Privacy Notice and as described below. We use both persistent and temporary tracking technologies. Tracking technologies (e.g., cookies) can either be persistent (i.e., they remain on your computer until you delete them) or temporary (i.e., they last only until you close your browser).

We also use first and third-party cookies. First party cookies are used and controlled by us to provide services on the Site. Third-party cookies are controlled by third-parties, mostly for the purpose of analytics.

In particular, our Site uses the following categories of cookies:

• Operationally Necessary: We may use tracking technologies required for system administration, to prevent fraudulent activity and improve security. We are not required to obtain your consent for tracking technologies that are operationally necessary.
• Performance-Related: We may use cookies or other tracking technologies to assess the performance of the online services, including as part of our analytic practices to improve the content offered through the online services.
• Functionality-Related: We may use tracking technologies to tell us, for example, whether you have visited the website before or if you are a new visitor and to help us identify the features in which you may have the greatest interest.

By using our Site you consent to the use of cookies and tracking technologies and the corresponding processing of information. You can withdraw your consent at any time by deleting placed cookies and disabling cookies in your browser. For further information about our use of cookies and tracking technologies and your opt-out choices, see Your Cookie Choices & How to Opt-Out. See here for details of each type of cookie used on the clearXchange Site.

2. Your Cookie Choices & How to Opt-out

You have the choice whether to accept the use of cookies and we have explained how you can exercise your rights, below.

Most browsers are initially set up to accept HTTP Cookies. The “help” feature of the menu bar on most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to receive notification of new cookies and how to disable existing cookies. For more information about HTTP cookies and how to disable them, you can consult the information at http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ and http://www.allaboutcookies.org/manage-cookies/.

We are not responsible for the effectiveness of any such opt-out options. California residents may be entitled to know the effects of opt-out options under California Business & Professions Code Section 22575(b)(7). The effect of an opt-out, if successful, will be to stop targeted advertising, but it will still allow the collection of usage data for certain purposes (e.g., research, analytics and internal Site operation purposes).

Controlling the HTML5 local storage on your browser depends on which browser you use. For more information regarding your specific browser please consult the browser’s website (often in the Help section).

Please note, however, that without HTTP cookies and HTML5 local storage, you may not be able to take full advantage of all our Site features and some parts of the Site may not function properly.

3. Information Collected and Cookies and Tracking Technologies Used On The clearXchange Site

The following list sets out the information collected via the individual cookies and tracking technologies we use.

We provide the information below as a courtesy for all users, but we are not obligated to maintain or update it.

4. Definitions

Cookies: A cookie (sometimes referred to as local storage object or LSO) is a data file placed on a device. Cookies can be created through a variety of web-related protocols and technologies, such as HTTP (sometimes referred to as “browser cookies”), and HTML5. For more information on third party cookies that we use for analytics, please review the table in Section 3 of this Cookies and Tracking Technologies Policy.

Web Beacons: Small graphic images or other web programming code called web beacons (also known as “1×1 GIFs” or “clear GIFs”) may be included in our Site’s pages and messages. Web beacons may be invisible to you, but any electronic image or other web programming code inserted into a page or email can act as a web beacon.

Clear GIFs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. In contrast to HTTP cookies, which are stored on a user's computer hard drive, clear GIFs are embedded invisibly on web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence.

Unique Device ID (UDID) Tokens: The unique series of numbers and letters assigned to your device.

Unique Identifier Header (UIDH): Unique Identifier Header (UIDH) is the address information that accompanies Internet (http) requests transmitted over an ISP’s wireless network. For example, when a customer types on his or her phone the web address of a retailer that request travels over the network and is delivered to the retailer's website. The information included in that request includes things like the device type and screen size so that the retailer site knows how to best display the site on the phone. It is important to note that the UIDH is a temporary, anonymous identifier included with unencrypted web traffic. We change the UIDH on a regular basis to protect the privacy of our customers. We do not use the UIDH to collect web browsing information and it does not broadcast individuals' web browsing activity out to advertisers or others.

Embedded Scripts. An embedded script is programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with the Site, such as the links you click on. The code is temporarily downloaded onto your device from our web server or a third-party service provider, is active only while you are connected to the Site, and is deactivated or deleted thereafter.

ETag, or entity tag. A feature of the cache in browsers, an ETag is an opaque identifier assigned by a web server to a specific version of a resource found at a URL. If the resource content at that URL ever changes, a new and different ETag is assigned. Used in this manner ETags are a form of device identifier. ETag tracking may generate unique tracking values even where the consumer blocks HTTP, Flash, and/or HTML5 cookies.
