BY REGISTERING TO USE THE SERVICES, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 25 WHICH REQUIRE ARBITRATION OF CERTAIN CLAIMS AND RESTRICT CLASS ACTION CLAIMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, THEN PLEASE DO NOT CREATE A SERVICES ACCOUNT, IN WHICH CASE YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO USE THE SERVICES.

Certain terms and conditions of our third party services providers, as detailed in Sections 3 and 4 below, are incorporated and made part of this agreement and may be amended from time to time in accordance with their terms.

  1. Privacy. The Company’s Privacy Policy, found at https://www.steadipay.com/privacy, is hereby incorporated into this Agreement. Please read this notice carefully for details relating to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information by the Company relating to the Services.
  2. How it Works. The Services are intended to help you better manage your use of credit cards. When you sign up for the Services, you link your credit card account and your checking account with your Services account such that we can view charges you make to your credit card and move corresponding amounts of money out of your checking account into your “SteadiPay Account”, as further detailed in Section 3 below. We then use that money to pay off your credit card bill at the end of each billing cycle. If you have opted into the Payment Optimizer service, we will make payments to your credit card weekly (as long as there are funds available in your SteadiPay Account).
    Subject to all terms and conditions of this Agreement, you may use the App to view your SteadiPay Account balance. The Services may also include other features from time to time, such as the ability to set aside additional funds in your SteadiPay Account, move funds back and forth between your checking account and SteadiPay account, or turn on algorithms to optimize your cash flow. Please note that you will not receive any interest of any kind with respect to funds in your SteadiPay account, and you hereby irrevocably assign to us any and all rights to receive any interest or other amounts which may accrue or otherwise be payable with respect to funds held in your SteadiPay Account. The Services are currently provided at no charge, but the Company reserves the right to charge for some or all Services in the future upon prior notice to you.
  3. Your SteadiPay Account and Funds.
    a. Banking. The Company is not a bank and does not receive or store your checking account number or the funds that are deducted from your checking account. All funds of users of the Services are maintained by our bank partner, NBKC, in one or more accounts. As such, you acknowledge that your funds are pooled with the funds of other Services users and other users of our third party service providers (but not with the Company’s corporate funds), with the Company tracking your portion of such pooled funds and displaying that to you through the App as your SteadiPay Account.b. Yodlee: In order to provide the Services, SteadiPay uses the third-party partner Yodlee to track your transactions, balance and other credit card and banking information. You may access Yodlee’s privacy policy at https://yodlee.com/legal/privacy-notice.c. ACH Transactions.

    d. Deposit Network Service Acknowledgement. By utilizing the services, your beneficial funds may be held at nbkc bank in an omnibus custodial account (“Omnibus Account”). In its ordinary course of business, nbkc bank may utilize a “Deposit Network Service” to deposit funds from the Omnibus Account into other FDIC insured banks (“Network Banks”). In the event funds from the Omnibus Account are deposited into Network Banks via the Deposit Network Service, nbkc bank will deliver funds to a custody bank (“Custodian Bank”) participating in the Deposit Network Service. In the event any of your beneficial funds from the Omnibus Account arrive at a Network Bank through a Deposit Network Service, they may be eligible for FDIC insurance, however, in the event you or nbkc bank have funds, either directly or indirectly, at any of the Network Banks, such deposit insurance coverage may be adversely affected, and the principal and any accrued interest may not benefit from FDIC insurance, even if the total amount deposited in that Network Bank through the Deposit Network Service is less than the Standard Maximum Deposit Insurance Amount, as then provided by the FDIC. In addition, in the event of a failure of a Network Bank, you may be requested to provide certain personal information for the purposes of processing a claim to seek the associated FDIC insurance. In the event you do not provide such information on a timely basis, it is possible the beneficial funds will not benefit from FDIC insurance. By utilizing the services, you authorize nbkc bank to utilize a Deposit Network Service as described and acknowledge that any associated beneficial principal balance and any accrued interest may or may not benefit from FDIC insurance.

Attendance at any in-person hearing may be made by telephone by either or both parties unless the arbitrator requires otherwise.
    e. Governing Law. The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with the laws of the state of California, without regard to its conflicts of laws rules, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different Service users, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving you to the extent required by applicable law.f.
