4. TERMS APPLICABLE TO DIGITAL CHECK SENDERS
The following terms apply if you use the Service to send a payment via Digital Check (a “Sender”):
4.1. You may use the Services to send Digital Checks to Receivers, as permitted by normal operation of the Website or the Mobile App, to be drawn against your eligible Checking Accounts. Digital Checks must be drawn on financial institutions located in the United States and must be payable in U.S. Dollars to Receivers in the United States. To send a Digital Check, you will need to provide the Receivers name and email address. You agree that you are responsible for complying with all applicable laws related to your use of the Services, regardless of the purpose of the use.
4.2. Currently, our Service may be used solely by businesses to send Digital Checks to other businesses or consumers. By using the Service to send Digital Checks, you represent and warrant to us that the Services will be used solely for business purposes.
4.3. You will need a Digital Check Sender Account to create and send Digital Checks using the Services. You will be asked to create a Digital Check Sender Account as part of your enrollment for the Services as a Sender. A “Digital Check Sender Account” is a notional account maintained for recordkeeping purposes only and cannot be used to store or maintain any funds. The Digital Check Sender Account allows Senders to send Digital Checks, void Digital Checks, view and export Digital Check remittance information, and review the status and history of their Digital Checks. You may create your own Digital Check Sender Account, or it may be assigned to you by an Administrator acting on behalf of a Sender. If you are using a Digital Check Sender Account assigned to you by an Administrator, your Administrator may be able to access or disable your Digital Check Sender Account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your username and password for your Digital Check Sender Account. It is advisable to change your password regularly (by following the instructions on our Website) in order to reduce the risk of a security breach. We cannot and will not be held responsible for the use, misuse, or disclosure by you to others of your username, password or Digital Check Sender Account. You must immediately tell us if you discover your user name, password or other means to access your Digital Check Sender Account has been lost or stolen so that we can disable your Digital Check Sender Account. If you learn of any unauthorized use of your username, password or Digital Check Sender Account, change the password on your Digital Check Sender Account and contact us immediately at the phone number above. You agree that it is your sole responsibility to ensure that the contact information in your Digital Check Sender Account is current and accurate at all times. This includes, but is not limited to, name, address, phone numbers, checking account information and email addresses. Changes can be made either within our Website or by contacting us at the phone number above. All changes made are effective immediately. We are not responsible for any transfer processing errors or fees incurred if you do not provide accurate bank account or contact information.
4.4. When you initiate a Digital Check as part of your use of the Services, you are also inherently granting all rights and licenses necessary for the Receiver (or its designated representative) to act as your agent for purposes of continuing the processing of the initiated Digital Check and for the Receiver (or its designated representative) to print a physical representation of the Digital Check(i.e., a paper check) on your behalf.
4.5. You understand and agree that each initiated Digital Check is registered with a fraud prevention component of the Services. This fraud prevention component allows any party with an internet connection to verify data on the initiated Digital Check. FairwayPay does not publish any information about your Digital Check, only whether data supplied by a verifying party pertains to an Digital Check registered with us.
4.6. You may request to void a Digital Check through the Website or the Mobile App provided the Digital Check has not already been retrieved by the Receiver. Although we will make every effort to accommodate a void request, we will have no liability for failing to do so. We may not have a reasonable opportunity to act on any void request prior to the Digital Check being retrieved. To stop payment on a Digital Check that has already been retrieved by the Receiver, you must either contact the Receiver of the Digital Check directly and request that they return or destroy all representations of the initiated Digital Check in their possession, or, to the extent that the Receiver has already presented the Digital Check to a banking institution for settlement, you should institute a standard stop payment order with your Bank. You should also contact us by telephone so that we can attempt to designate all attempts to verify this Digital Check as invalid. You are responsible for all charges from your Bank connected with initiated Digital Checks or attempts to stop payment on a Digital Check.
4.7. You should check your transaction history for your Checking Accounts and Digital Check Sender Accounts regularly. If your transaction history shows a Digital Check that you did not authorize, you must tell us and your Bank at once. Except as otherwise described in these Terms, we are not liable for any damages or loss arising from someone accessing your Digital Check Sender Account or Checking Accounts through the Services without your permission.
4.8. In using the Services, you are initiating a check-based payment from your Checking Account. Before making a payment, you must ensure sufficient funds are available in your Checking Account. If we are unable to complete an initiated Digital Check for any reason associated with your designated Checking Account (for example, there are insufficient funds in your Checking Account to cover the Digital Check), the Digital Check may not be processed. You are responsible for all returned item charges, overdraft charges and other bank fees imposed by the Bank holding your Checking Accounts associated with any Digital Checks initiated on your behalf using our Services.
4.9. The Digital Checks you initiate are dependent upon several things, including the accuracy of your Checking Account information and the accuracy of the Receiver information. You must ensure that the payment details you enter for each Digital Check are correct and complete. We will not be responsible for any errors in the information that you provide to us. You are solely responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide in connection with Digital Checks you initiate with the Services.
4.10. We reserve the right to refuse to initiate any Digital Check that you may request using the Services for any reason, at our sole discretion. We will notify you promptly if we decide to refuse to continue initiation of a Digital Check through the Services. This notification is not required if you attempt to make a prohibited transfer under these Terms.
4.11. You represent and warrant that: (1) no intended recipients of eChecks initiated by you are or will be located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; (2) your intended recipients of Digital Checks initiated by you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties; (3) you own all right, title and interest in and to, or have permission to use, all trademarks, service marks or logos or other intellectual property or proprietary rights that you may upload as part of your use of the Service; and (4) your use of the Service will not damage or disrupt any application or service provided under these Terms, including but not limited to: the introduction of any viruses, Trojans, time-bombs, spyware and other devices.
4.12. If you are using our Services on behalf of a business entity, the individual that enrolls initially for our Services on behalf of the business entity (“Administrator”) will have administrative authority to designate other authorized users to access the Services on behalf of the business entity (each an “Authorized User”). For each Authorized User, the Administrator may assign access privileges transactional or inquiry only – for each Checking Account associated with the Digital Check Sender Account established by the Administrator. If an Authorized User is provided transactional authority to initiate Digital Check transactions, we shall be authorized to act upon and shall not be liable for any such transaction instructions. The Administrator may add or delete Authorized Users of the Services or modify access privileges for Authorized Users at any time through the Administrators Digital Check Sender Account. Such requests will not take effect until we have had a reasonable period of time to act upon such requests. If you permit another person to access the Services, we will treat this as if you have authorized such use, and you will be liable for all transactions and fees incurred by such use.
4.13. FairwayPay may offer Senders access to plugins for QuickBooks, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft Dynamic GP (together with Microsoft Excel, the “Microsoft Software”, and together with QuickBooks, “Accounting Software”), which allow Senders to automatically add eCheck transaction information into their Accounting Software. Use of any such plugin shall be subject to any additional terms presented to you at the time you request to download such plugin.

The following terms apply if you use the Services to receive a payment via eCheck (a “Receiver”).
5.1. As a Receiver of a Digital Check, you agree that you will print the Digital Check in conformance with any check printing instructions we provide to you. We recommend printing your Digital Check using a standard laser copier and white laser paper.
You agree to present the Digital Check only once for payment. You agree and acknowledge that multiple presentments of a Digital Check constitutes fraud and you agree to refrain from any such activity. You agree to not alter or conceal any portion of the Digital Check item you receive, including any comments, coding, instructions or disclaimers accompanying your Digital Check. These instructions can include, but are not limited to, a disclaimer regarding your authorization as the Receiver to act as the Senders agent for purposes of printing any physical representation of the Digital Check.
5.2. As a Receiver of a Digital Check, you will be provided the option of establishing a Digital Check Receiver Account. In some cases, depending on the type of Digital Check payment or funding options made available to you, you may be required to establish an Digital Check Receiver Account to retrieve your Digital Check and view accompanying remittance information. We will notify you of this requirement, if applicable. A Digital Check Receiver Account will automatically be established for all Senders of Digital Checks upon completion of the Senders enrollment for the Services. A “Digital Check Receiver Account” is a notional account maintained for recordkeeping purposes only and cannot be used to store or maintain any funds. The Digital Check Receiver Account allows Receivers to review and download the status and history of their Digital Checks and accompanying remittance information and take action to retrieve their Digital Checks. You may create your own Digital Check Receiver Account, or it may be assigned to you by an Administrator acting on behalf of a Receiver. If you are using a Digital Check Receiver Account assigned to you by an Administrator, your Administrator may be able to access or disable your Digital Check Receiver Account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your username and password for your Digital Check Receiver Account. It is advisable to change your password regularly (by following the instructions on our Website) in order to reduce the risk of a security breach.
