Terms of Service

PLEASE READ OUR TERMS OF SERVICE (“AGREEMENT”) CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE SERVICES. THIS AGREEMENT SETS FORTH THE LEGALLY BINDING TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR YOUR USE OF BUILT SERVICES.

GENERAL SERVICES TERMS
Built Technologies, Inc. (“Built”) provides the construction industry with a variety of services related to construction finance and payments (“Services”). As used in this Agreement, the words “you” and “your” refer to you, a User (defined below) of the Services and the Party agreeing to this Agreement. The words “we,” “us,” “our” and any other variation thereof refer to Built. The word “User” refers to any person or entity accessing or using any of the Services including without limitation, Payors, Payment Recipients, and lien waiver recipients and signers.
SERVICE FEES. You understand and agree that Built may charge Fees for access to and use of the Built Services. Depending on the Services, Fees may be charged at the time of a transaction (“Transaction Fees”) or included in a monthly invoice provided to you and paid within 15 days of the invoice date (unless otherwise agreed in writing).
APPLICABLE TAXES AND PENALTIES
1. You are responsible for all, if any, applicable taxes arising from your use of the Services. You are furthermore responsible for all fees, fines, penalties and other liability incurred by Built, yourself, or a third party caused by or arising out of your breach of this Agreement, and/or your use of the Services. You agree to reimburse Built or a third party for any and all such liability.
2. Collection of Funds Owed. In the event that you are liable for any amounts owed to Built, including for payments forwarded to Payment Recipients for which you initiate a chargeback or ACH return, you authorize Built to collect such amounts from your default payment method or other available payment methods. If you do not have sufficient funds available to fulfill such payment, Built may engage in collection efforts and/or other legal actions to recover such amounts from you.
THIRD PARTY SERVICES AND LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES. The Services may enable you to connect to third-party services or products (“Third Party Services”). If you decide to use Third Party Services, you will be responsible for reviewing and understanding the terms and conditions for these services. We are not responsible or liable for the performance of any Third Party Services. Further, you agree to resolve any disagreement between you and a third party regarding the terms and conditions of any Third Party Services with that third party directly in accordance with the terms and conditions of that relationship, and not Built. The Services may contain links to third party websites. The inclusion of a link to a third party website does not imply an approval, endorsement, or recommendation by Built. Such third party websites are not governed by this Agreement. You access any such website at your own risk. We expressly disclaim any liability for these websites. When you use a link to go from the Services to a third party website, our Privacy Policy is no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on a third party website, including those that have a link in the Services is subject to that website’s own terms, rules and policies.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT SHALL BUILT, OUR SUPPLIERS, BUILT PARTNERS AND OUR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, PARENTS, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, BENEFICIARIES, SUCCESSORS, OR ASSIGNS (COLLECTIVELY, THE “BUILT PARTIES”) BE LIABLE FOR LOST PROFITS OR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES INCLUDING LOSS OF INCOME, DATA, PROFITS, REVENUE OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, OR OTHER ECONOMIC LOSS, WHETHER OR NOT BUILT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND WHETHER ANY CLAIM FOR RECOVERY IS BASED ON THEORIES OF CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY) OR OTHERWISE ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH OUR SERVICES, OR THIS AGREEMENT (HOWEVER ARISING, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE). THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF THE BUILT PARTIES (IN AGGREGATE) TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTIES IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCE IS LIMITED TO THE ACTUAL AMOUNT OF DIRECT DAMAGES ACTUALLY INCURRED IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE DATE UPON WHICH THE APPLICABLE CAUSE OF ACTION AROSE.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. In such case, the liability of the Built Parties shall be limited to the greatest extent permitted under applicable law.

Built facilitates various potential transactions between you and third parties including exchanging lien waivers, invoices, and payments. Built is not a party to any such transactions conducted through the Services. If you have a Claim with one or more third parties, you release all Built Parties (and its respective officers, directors, agents, joint ventures and employees) from any and all claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature arising out of or in any way connected with such Claims.

DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. THE BUILT PARTIES PROVIDE THEIR RESPECTIVE SERVICES “AS IS” AND WITHOUT ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY. THE BUILT PARTIES SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, MERCHANTABLE QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. NEITHER THE BUILT PARTIES ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR FAILURE TO PERFORM OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE AGREEMENT AND DO NOT WARRANT, ENDORSE, GUARANTEE, OR ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE ADVERTISED OR OFFERED BY YOU, BUILT, OR ANY THIRD PARTY. BUILT ENDEAVORS TO PROVIDE A USEFUL AND ENJOYABLE EXPERIENCE FOR USERS AND ATTEMPTS TO PROVIDE SUPPORT TO ENSURE THAT USERS ARE ABLE TO EFFECTIVELY USE THE SERVICES.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION.
1. Governing Law and Forum. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without reference to conflict of law provisions. Any action, proceeding, arbitration hearing or mediation relating to or arising from this Agreement must be brought, held, or otherwise occur in San Francisco County, California.
2. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL AND CLASS ACTIONS. PLEASE READ THIS PROVISION CAREFULLY. IT PROVIDES THAT ANY CLAIM MAY BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION AND THAT (i) YOU ARE GIVING UP ITS RIGHT TO HAVE A TRIAL BY JURY TO RESOLVE ANY CLAIM ALLEGED AGAINST THE BUILT PARTIES; (ii) YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO HAVE A COURT RESOLVE ANY CLAIM ALLEGED AGAINST THE BUILT PARTIES; (iii) YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO SERVE AS A REPRESENTATIVE, AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR IN ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, AND/OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A MEMBER OF A CLASS OF CLAIMANTS, IN ANY LAWSUIT OR ARBITRATION FILED AGAINST BUILT AND/OR RELATED THIRD PARTIES.

In the event of a dispute, claim, or controversy (“Claim”) between you and Built or you and one or more Banks or Built Partners, arising from or relating in any way to this Agreement, the Services, or to the relationship formed between the parties as a result of this Agreement, including Claims regarding the applicability of this arbitration clause or the validity of the entire Agreement, the Claim shall be resolved exclusively and finally by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules. All Claims are subject to arbitration, no matter what theory they are based on. This includes Claims based on contract, tort (including intentional tort), fraud, agency, your or our negligence, statutory or regulatory provisions, or any other source of law. Claims and remedies sought as part of a class action, private attorney general, or other representative action are subject to arbitration on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis. You and Built and you and one or more Banks (as the case may be) will agree on another arbitration forum if the AAA ceases operations. The arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator and will be limited solely to the Claim between you and Built or you and one or more Banks. The arbitration, or any portion of it, will not be consolidated with any other arbitration and will not be conducted on a class-wide or class action basis. The prohibition against class action contained in this section shall be non-severable from the remainder of this section.

Arbitration Terms. If either party prevails in the arbitration of any Claim against the other, the non-prevailing party will reimburse the prevailing party for any fees it paid to the AAA in connection with the arbitration, as well as for any reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the prevailing party in connection with such arbitration. Any decision rendered in such arbitration proceedings will be final and binding on the parties, and judgment may be entered in a court of competent jurisdiction. Rules and forms of the AAA may be obtained and Claims may be filed at any AAA office, www.adr.org, or 335 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10017, telephone 1-800-778-7879. This arbitration agreement is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce, and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16. This arbitration agreement applies to all Claims now in existence or that may arise in the future. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent any party’s use of (or advancement of any Claims, defenses, or offsets in) bankruptcy or repossession, replevin, judicial foreclosure or any other prejudgment or provisional remedy relating to any collateral, security, or other property interests for contractual debts now or hereafter owned by either party to the other. IN THE ABSENCE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, YOU AND BUILT AND YOU AND ONE OR MORE BANKS MAY OTHERWISE HAVE HAD A RIGHT OR OPPORTUNITY TO LITIGATE CLAIMS THROUGH A COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR A JURY AND/OR TO PARTICIPATE OR BE REPRESENTED IN LITIGATION FILED IN COURT BY OTHERS (INCLUDING CLASS ACTIONS), BUT EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED ABOVE, THOSE RIGHTS, INCLUDING ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, ARE WAIVED AND ALL CLAIMS MUST NOW BE RESOLVED THROUGH ARBITRATION.

ADDITIONAL BUILT PAYMENT TERMS & CONDITIONS

OVERVIEW OF BUILT PAY SERVICES.
1. Description of the Built Pay Services. Built Pay Services generally enable United States-based businesses and freelancers (“Payors”) to transmit payments for commercial purposes to United States-based business recipients (“Payment Recipients”), including Payment Recipients who do not accept a Payor’s preferred payment method. Payors may capture a Payment Recipient invoice using their mobile device, upload an invoice electronically, import an invoice from various accounting software, or enter in invoice details manually. Such information may be used to generate a bill which can then be synched with various accounting software. Built may also partner with Payment Recipients to facilitate their receipt of funds and crediting of customer accounts. Payment Recipients may generate and upload invoices through the Built Services to request payment from Payors, Payment Recipients may request payment from Payors without uploading invoices, and Payment Recipients may also request payment from payors that have not registered for Built’s Services. For access to and use of the Services, Built may charge Users a fee (the “Fee”) at the time of Payment submission.
2. Built Pay Partnerships. Built Pay is powered by Built’s partner, Melio Payments, Inc. (“Melio”), and any of the Services may be delegated to Melio at Built’s discretion. You will be required to enter into a separate agreement with Melio in conjunction with your use of the Services. Built Pay Services are further facilitated by one or more bank partners (each, a “Bank” and collectively, the “Banks”). Collectively Melio and the Banks may be referred to as “Built’s Partners” throughout this Agreement.
3. Accepted Payment Methods. Built enables Users to transmit payments to Payment Recipients via automated clearinghouse (“ACH”), credit or debit card, or via wire transfer. Payment Recipients may receive payments via paper check, electronic check, debit card, ACH transfer, wire transfer, or via virtual card number (“VCN”).

Cards issued on the following payment networks may be used as payment methods via the Services: Visa, MC, Discover, STAR, PULSE and Accel.

FUND OWNERSHIP.

Payments to Payment Recipients (other than Fees) do not pass into Built’s legal ownership at any time from payment initiation to successful delivery, including any subsequent refunds.
Built uses master bank accounts at each of the Banks that are held in the Banks’ names and owned by the Banks. The account titles also show that these accounts are for the benefit of customers of Built. You grant Built the right to instruct the Banks on the use of funds in the accounts, including to receive funds from you and to then send funds to your Payment Recipient based on your instructions. The Banks transfer all funds for the benefit of Built’s customers upon Built’s instructions.

AN INDEPENDENT THIRD-PARTY.

Built is an independent, third-party service that is not formally affiliated with your Payment Recipients. You acknowledge and agree that your use of the Services does not in any way constitute a tri-party agreement between you, Built, and your Payment Recipients.
Accordingly, neither Built nor Built Partners have responsibility nor will have liability for any consequences resulting from your interactions or contracts with Payment Recipients, including but not limited to payment terms, the proper and timely delivery of goods or services, and any associated disputes which may arise. You further acknowledge that your use of Built Services does not alter or affect any Payment Recipient payment terms including but not limited to deadlines, payment plans, late fees, and refunds.

For example, Built may impose a transactional limit on your payment method for payments via the Services, which may be a lower value than the amount allowed by your program.
Payments may only be made to U.S. payment methods. We may, in our sole discretion, impose limits on the size, frequency, and timing of payments sent through the Services, on a per transaction or a cumulative basis, and change those limits at any time.

If the Payment Recipient does not provide this information, neither the Banks nor Built will be able to complete your transaction electronically and we or our business partners will send such Payment Recipient a paper check.

You are responsible for verifying the accuracy of the foregoing Payment Recipient information prior to scheduling payments, and neither Built nor the Banks will have liability for losses or damages due to your or your Payment Recipient’s actions or inactions. If you invite a Payment Recipient to set up an Account, it will take several business days to complete the verification process required to activate the Account for electronic payments. If you input a Payment Recipient’s bank routing number and bank account number on behalf of a Payment Recipient, you represent and warrant that you have obtained from the Payment Recipient the authorizations set forth in Section II.5(h) above.

If the electronic files and/or images transmitted to us with respect to any item do not comply with our requirements for content and/or format, we may, in our sole discretion:

Further transmit the item and data in the form received from you;
Repair or attempt to repair the item or data and then further transmit it;
Process the item as photocopies in lieu of originals; or
Return the data and item to you unprocessed.
1. Remote Capture Minimum Hardware and Software Requirements. In order to use the Remote Capture Service, you must obtain and maintain, at your expense, compatible hardware and software including but not limited to an Internet connection and either a mobile phone or computer capable of capturing an electronic image.

MAKING PAYMENTS THROUGH THE SERVICES.
1. Payment Submission. Payments can be submitted for immediate or future processing via the Services. Payment submission requires at least the following to be specified:

a Payment Recipient;
a payment method;
a payment amount; and
your invoice number.

Any or all of the above fields may be pre-filled for you. As further outlined in our Privacy Policy and the Banks’ privacy policies, you agree to allow Built (and to the extent applicable, the Banks) to share this information with your payment Payment Recipient.

Payment Information. Built may require additional information from you at the time you submit a payment. This may include, but is not limited to, requesting additional documentation related to a specific payment or additional details regarding the designated Payment Recipient or the Payor.
Satisfactory Goods or Services. By submitting your payment for processing through the Services, you agree that the goods or services provided by your Payment Recipient in exchange for the payment (minus Fees) have already been rendered to your satisfaction. You hereby forfeit any future claims regarding insufficient or unexpected quality or untimely delivery of the goods and services provided, including those Services rendered by Built in exchange for your payment of fees and those services rendered by the Banks.
Processing Payments.

Payments made through the Services require sufficient time for your Payment Recipient to receive your payment and credit your account accordingly. To make a payment, use the Services to select the date (“Process Date”) on which Built (or its business partners) will debit your payment method to pay a bill or an invoice. The Services will indicate the earliest possible Process Date for each payment. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to issue payment within one to two business days following the Process Date, depending on the size of the payment and subject to “payment review,” as described in Section II.10.
You will be solely responsible for scheduling payments and selecting a Process Date for each payment that allows sufficient time for the payment to be delivered on or prior to the bill’s due date. Typically, it takes two to three full business days after the Process Date to post an electronic payment and five full business days to deliver a check payment within the territorial United States by first class mail. Note, however, that the expected delivery timeframe is a projected estimate based on Built’s historical performance for a given disbursement channel, and is subject to change.
Payments submitted for immediate processing will require successful payment method authorization at time of submission, while payments marked for future processing will require payment method authorization on the Process Date indicated for the payment. If a payment method fails to authorize, Built and the Banks will be unable to continue to process your payment, and Built will notify you via the Services.
1. Scheduled Payments.
Payments may be submitted with a Process Date in the future (“Scheduled Payments”), but must be assigned to a payment method at time of submission which remains valid through the payment Process Date. The details of a Scheduled Payment, including associated Fees, are locked in at time of submission, except where noted otherwise.
Prior to its Process Date, a Scheduled Payment may be cancelled or edited via the Services. Editing a Scheduled Payment is functionally treated as the deletion of the original Scheduled Payment and creation of a new Scheduled Payment, and accordingly may result in alterations not specifically requested including but not limited to recalculation of associated fees, and reiteration of any applicable payment review processes (per Section II.10).
1. Faster Payments. Built may make available to approved Payors and/or Payment Recipients a service that enables such Payors and/or Payment Recipients, as applicable, to request that certain eligible payments be delivered more quickly (“Faster Payments”). Faster Payments may be subject to an additional fee which will be displayed to an approved Payor and/or Payment Recipient, as applicable through the Services at the time such Payor and/or Payment Recipient requests a Faster Payment. In connection with Faster Payments, Payors or Payment Recipients, as applicable, remain responsible to Built for chargebacks, clawbacks and ACH returns pursuant to Section II.14. Please note that we may disable the Faster Payments service for any payment at any time at our discretion based on eligibility requirements, and we will not charge you a fee if we do so. We do not guarantee the availability of the Faster Payment service, and we may make changes to the service or discontinue it at any time.
2. Payment Recipient-Paid Fees. In some cases, Payment Recipients may choose to absorb Fees that may be charged to Payors, thus allowing Payors to make payments to Payment Recipients for free. If you as a Payment Recipient choose to pay for Payor Fees, Built will charge the relevant Payor Fees to your linked payment method at the time that Built delivers the Payor payment amount to you. Note, however, that your payment for Payor Fees shall be processed as a separate transaction.

PAYMENT AUTHORIZATION.
1. General Payment Authorization.

By providing us with the names and account information of Payment Recipients to whom you wish to direct payments, you authorize us and the Banks to follow the payment instructions that are received from you. In order to process payments more efficiently and effectively, the Banks, at Built’s instruction, may submit payments to the best known Payment Recipient address. When necessary, the Banks, at Built’s instruction, may alter payment data or data formats or change or reformat your Payment Recipient account number to match the account number or format required by your Payment Recipient for electronic payment processing.
When Built or the Banks receive a payment instruction, you authorize each such party to debit your payment method and remit funds on your behalf. You also authorize Built or the Banks to credit your payment method for payments returned to us by the Post Office or Payment Recipient, or payments remitted to you on behalf of another authorized user of the Services.
1. ACH Authorization. Where you choose to pay a Payment Recipient via ACH, you authorize Built or the Banks to debit your payment method in increments or as a lump sum and remit funds in accordance with your payment instructions through the ACH. You also give Built or the Banks the right to resubmit any ACH debit that is returned for insufficient or uncollected funds, or any other reason. You agree that payment transactions will be governed by the rules established by NACHA, the Electronic Payments Association, as in effect from time-to-time, under which you are an “Originator”, Built is a “Third Party Service Provider,” and the Banks are the “Originating Depository Financial Institutions.” You are responsible for all claims, demands, losses, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs) that result directly or indirectly from your failure to perform your obligations under the NACHA rules and you indemnify Built and the Banks for the same.

TRANSACTION CLASSIFICATION.
1. Cash Advances. Built will prepare and submit credit card authorizations as purchases rather than cash advances. However, in some cases where Built does not have an existing relationship with the merchant, your credit card transactions may be treated as a cash advance. If this is the case, we cannot support such payment. We will notify you prior to payment submission, and you may switch to a different card or opt out of the submitting the payment altogether.
2. Authorizations. Treatment of Built authorizations is managed in the sole discretion of the issuing banks. You agree to not to hold Built or the Banks liable for any consequences resulting from issuer treatment of card authorizations, which may include but are not limited to cash advance fees, impacted reward program earnings, or altered credit programs and interest rate terms.
PAYMENT REVIEW.
1. Review. At any time post submission, your payment may be subject to review, which serves to better understand the nature of and reason for your payment. During this review process and for any reason, Built or the Banks may place a temporary hold on the delivery of your payment for as long as reasonably required to conduct an appropriate inquiry regarding you, the Payment Recipient, your business, a bill, payment history, and other relevant circumstances and factors.
2. Cooperation. You acknowledge that Built’s ability to efficiently and effectively review your payment is reliant upon your cooperation, and you absolve Built and the Banks from any negative impacts to the delivery of your payment arising from delayed, incomplete, or insufficient responses to our inquiries.
3. Result of Payment Review. Depending on the results of this review, Built may instruct the Banks to clear the payment, reverse the payment, or hold the payment pending instructions from a government agency. Built also reserves the right to cancel any payment. In such cases and as permitted by applicable law, your funds will be returned to you via the original payment method, or if necessary via other means.
RETURNED TRANSACTIONS. Payment Recipients or the United States Postal Service may return payments for various reasons such as, but not limited to, Payment Recipient’s forwarding address expired, invalid bank routing number, invalid bank account number, Payment Recipient remittance address is not correct, Payment Recipient is unable to identify an account, or a Payment Recipient account is paid in full. In addition, a Payment Recipient may refuse to accept a payment, and neither Built nor the Banks will have liability for any resulting loss or damage. Built will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide you with notice of returned payments and will offer you through the Services the choice whether to void and credit or void and reissue the payments. You agree that neither Built nor the Banks shall have any liability for any such returned payments. Unless otherwise directed, Built will void such payments. You hereby authorize Built or the Banks to credit such payments to your payment method.
INSUFFICIENT FUNDS. You agree at all times to maintain sufficient funds in your payment method to satisfy all obligations including returns, reversals, and associated fees, and to add funds immediately if Built notifies you that your funds are insufficient. Without limiting any other available remedies, if any payment initiated from your payment method is returned because of insufficient funds, you must reimburse Built (or to the extent applicable, the Banks) for any corresponding payment amount immediately upon demand, plus exceptions processing fees, plus any bank fees, charges or penalties for return items. Built or the Banks also reserve the right to debit a Payment Recipient’s account for money paid to the Payment Recipient on your behalf if your payment is returned because of insufficient funds or any other reason. Each of Built and the Banks reserves the right to withhold funds from a payment to a Payment Recipient if the Payor has an outstanding balance with Built. You shall be solely responsible for all penalties, interest charges, late payment fees and service fees resulting from such a debit to the Payment Recipient.
PAYMENT CANCELLATION REQUESTS. Scheduled payments may be cancelled, rescheduled or modified by following the directions through the Services. There is no charge for canceling, rescheduling or modifying a payment before it is processed. However, once Built or the Banks have begun processing a payment, it cannot be cancelled, rescheduled or modified, and you must submit a stop payment request.
In the event that you as Payor initiate a chargeback, clawback, or ACH return for a payment that has already been transmitted to the Payment Recipient, you agree to assign to Built any claims against your Payment Recipient associated with such chargeback, clawback or ACH return. You further agree that we may contact your Payment Recipient directly to request reimbursement for any payment that has been transmitted to the Payment Recipient and for which you have initiated a chargeback, clawback, or ACH return. In the event that Built receives a chargeback, clawback or ACH return, you as Payment Recipient authorize Built to debit your Payment Method on file for the amount of the chargeback plus any associated fees or to withhold funds from future distributions.
STOP PAYMENT REQUESTS AND REFUNDS
1. Stop Payment Requests. Built’s ability to process a stop payment request depends on the payment method and whether or not a check has been cleared. Built and the Banks must have a reasonable opportunity to act on any stop payment request after a payment has been processed. You must contact Built to stop any payment that has already been processed. Although Built will use commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate stop payment requests, neither Built nor the Banks will have any liability for failing to do so. Stop payment requests may be subject to additional charges.
2. Payment Refunds.

In certain situations following a payment submission, you may request a refund by contacting Built at [email protected]. The availability of refunds and processes for their execution are dependent on the disbursement channels by which payments are delivered to Payment Recipients. Built is unable to issue partial refunds of payments. More specific information is provided below in Sections II.15(c) and 15(d).
Built is also unable to initiate refunds in cases where a Payment Recipient has already received your payment. If this is the case, you should contact your Payment Recipient directly to request a refund, pursuant to their payment terms and refund policies.
In the event that Built issues a payment refund, Built will generally refund a proportional amount of the Built Fee to you, less any unrecoverable costs Built or Evolve may incur; however, Built will not refund any portion of the Built Fee when you use an American Express card to fund your payment. In addition, if you effect a payment refund via clawback or chargeback mechanisms, Built will not refund any portion of the Built Fee.
1. Refunds for Electronic Payments. Built may refund electronic payments, including those delivered via Electronic Fund Transfer (“EFT”), ACH and card network providers, prior to their disbursement.
2. Refunds for Check Payments.
Built may refund payments disbursed via check prior to their deposit by your Payment Recipient. If Built has already sent a check, we may place a “stop payment” request to ensure it cannot be deposited. In such cases, we suggest that you contact your Payment Recipient to let it know not to deposit the stopped check.
If your Payment Recipient attempts to deposit a stopped check, it may be charged a fee from its bank for the exception, which it may attempt to assign to you. You accept the responsibility of notifying your Payment Recipient to not deposit your check, and you agree not to hold Built or the Banks liable for any costs you may incur from your Payment Recipient in such a case. If you have a payment use case which is not explicitly mentioned above, and for which you would like to confirm support, please check with us by emailing [email protected].

Built may request more information relating to your use of the Services to seek to identify the Restricted Activities. You agree to cooperate in any investigation and to provide confirmation of your identity and any information you provide to us, as we may require.
If we have reason to believe that you have engaged in any Restricted Activities or that you have used our Services inappropriately, Built or the Banks (to the extent applicable) reserves the right to, in its sole discretion and at any time, take any or all of the following actions:
o Close, suspend, or limit your access to your Account or the Services;
o Hold, return, or reclaim funds;
o Update inaccurate information you provided to Built or third parties;
o Refuse to provide Services to you or related parties in the future;
o Contact your bank or notify other Users, Payment Recipients, law enforcement, or impacted third parties of your actions;
o Take legal action against you. When not otherwise obligated by regulatory or compliance considerations, Built will provide you with notice of any such actions.

BUILT PAY FEES. Fees may vary, depending upon factors including but not limited to the Payment Recipient, the payment method, and other variables both which may or may not be controlled by Built. Fees are subject to change at any time without prior notice and are calculated in real time and presented to you during review of your payment, prior to submission or edit. Transaction Fees will be charged to your payment method, either in a separate transaction from any principal payments or in a single transaction including both amounts, depending on applicable rules. Transaction Fees for immediately processed payments are charged in real-time upon submission. Transaction Fees for Scheduled payments are locked in at time of submission and will be charged on the payment’s Process Date. If a Scheduled payment is edited prior to its Process Date, the applicable Fee will be recalculated based on the presently defined rules.
RELEASE OF BUILT

If you have a Claim with one or more Payment Recipients or other third parties, you release all Built Parties (and its respective officers, directors, agents, joint ventures and employees) from any and all claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature arising out of or in any way connected with such Claims.
Built and Built Parties have no control over the products or services that are paid for using the Services and Built nor the Built Parties can ensure that a Payment Recipient you are dealing with will actually complete the transaction or is authorized to do so. Built Parties do not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted or secure access to any part of our Service, and operation of our site may be interfered with by numerous factors outside of our control. Built will make reasonable efforts to ensure that requests for electronic debits and credits involving credit cards are processed in a timely manner but Built makes no representations or warranties regarding the amount of time needed to complete processing because the Services are dependent upon many factors outside of our control, such as delays in the banking system. Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties, so the foregoing disclaimers may not apply to you.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR COMPLIANCE WITH EMPLOYMENT LAW. To the extent that you use Built to issue checks or payments to independent contractors, you expressly acknowledge and agree that you (not Built and not Built Partners) are responsible for compliance with all wage and hour laws and all applicable laws regulating the time, place, and manner of payments for their service. Built provides a means for transmitting funds. However, you (not Built and not Built Partners) are responsible for complying with all laws pertaining to the classification of independent contractors and payment for their services.
