Section 12: ACH Payment Services
12.1. This section applies to Users whose Services include the Built for Contractors ACH Payment Services as further defined below (“Payment Services”).
12.2. Authorizations. By uploading payment information to the Services, you automatically authorize the Company to withdraw and/or transfer the applicable funds from your designated funding account (the “Funding Account”) and to make all payments to all applicable Payment Recipients or other parties as provided in the uploaded Content. Upon receipt of the payment information from the User, the Company will, depending on the arrangement between the Company and the User, either utilize a Clearing Account (as defined below) or act as a third-party originator. If the Company uses a Clearing Account, then, upon receipt of the payment information, the Company will initiate an ACH withdrawal of funds from your Funding Account, deposit those funds in a Clearing Account (as defined below) and send the Payment Recipient(s) lien waivers to be executed. Upon receipt of the executed lien waiver, the Company will transfer the funds from the Clearing Account to the Payment Recipient as detailed in the uploaded Content or other payment instructions transmitted to the Company. If the Company acts as a third-party originator, then the Company will not use a Clearing Account and will instead create an ACH file that, upon the Company’s receipt of an executed lien waiver, will transfer the payment funds directly from the User’s Funding Account to the Payment Recipient’s account.
- 3. The Company may not necessarily request any additional authorization from User prior to transferring the funds to the Payment Recipient. Once the User uploads the Content, including the payment information, to the Company, the Company shall have no liability for carrying out the requested payments to the Lien waiver Signers unless the User complies with the authorization revocation procedure set forth in this Section.
12.4. Revocation of Authorizations. If a User wishes to revoke the authorization for the Company to send a payment to a certain Payment Recipient, then the User must provide the Company with written notice of the authorization revocation at least 72 hours, excluding non-Business Days, before the time that the Company receives the signed lien waiver from that Payment Recipient. If a User provides written notice of an authorization revocation, but the Company receives the executed lien waiver less than 72 hours later, then the Company shall have no liability for making the payment in accordance with the originally uploaded Content. If you request the Company to stop or reverse a payment that is already in process, the Company does not guarantee that such payment can be stopped or reversed and the Company and/or the processing bank may impose fees for attempting to stop payment.
12.5. Timing and Waiting Period. A User must have sufficient available funds in its Funding Account by 7:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on the day that the User submits payment information to the Services. If you submit payment instructions to the Services and the Company attempts to withdraw the funds from your Funding Account and is unable to do so due to a lack of available funds, then the Company may impose an ACH Return Fee.
If the Company receives a signed lien waiver by 10:30 a.m. Central Standard Time and the payment amount associated with that waiver is less than $25,000.00, then the Company will make efforts to pay that amount to the Payment Recipient the same day the lien waiver is received by the Company. Otherwise, the payment will be processed the next Business Day.
The Company may impose a waiting period of up to ten Business Days between the time the User provides the funds to the Company and the time that the Company sends the funds to the Payment Recipient in order to ensure that the funds have cleared. The Company shall not be liable for any delay in any payment or lien release which results from the imposition of such waiting period under this Section.
12.6. Clearing Funds and Reserves. Except for those instances when the Company acts as a third-party originator (described above), all funds received from a User which are intended to be paid to a Payment Recipient upon receipt of a signed lien waiver are held in pooled clearing accounts (the “Clearing Accounts”) with one or more financial institutions. The Company will make transfers to and from the Clearing Accounts in the manner described in these Terms. You have no rights to the Clearing Accounts or to any funds held in the Clearing Accounts, you are not entitled to draw funds from the Clearing Accounts, and you will not receive interest from funds maintained in the Clearing Accounts.
In certain circumstances, the Company may require you to place funds in reserve or to impose conditions on the release of funds (each a “Reserve”). The Company may impose a Reserve on you for any reason if we determine that the risk of loss to the Company or other Users is higher than normal. If the Company imposes a Reserve, it will establish the terms of the Reserve and provide you notice of the amount, timing, and conditions upon which the funds in the Reserve will be released to you. The Company may change or condition the terms of the Reserve based on its continuous assessment and understanding of the risks associated with your account, funds, and payment instructions, for any reason.
