ONLINE QUICK PAY PAYMENT SCHEDULING

Online Quick Pay Payments begin processing one (1) Business Days after you submit payment. Payments should be submitted prior to any due date. In certain rare situations, an Online Quick Pay Payment may take four (4) Business Days to be processed.

SERVICE GUARANTEE

Due to circumstances beyond the control of the Service, particularly delays in handling and posting Bill Payments by the Payee or financial institutions, some Bill Payment transactions may take longer to be credited to your account. The Payye will bear responsibility for any late payment should a Payment post after its Due Date in accordance with the guidelines described under "Online Quick Pay Payment Scheduling" in this Agreement.

PAYMENT AUTHORIZATION AND PAYMENT REMITTANCE

By providing the Service with account information of the Payee, you authorize the Service to forward Payment information that it receives through the payment system. In order to process payments more efficiently and effectively, the Service may edit or alter payment data or data formats in accordance with Payee directives. If you choose to utilize a Payment Account that is a credit card account, you understand and acknowledge that the Service does not perform any identity verification on such credit card accounts. When the Service receives a Payment Instruction, you authorize the Service to debit your Payment Account and remit funds on your behalf so that the funds arrive as close as reasonably possible to the submitted date. You certify that any Payment Account used to make payments is an account from which you are authorized to make payments, and any payment you make using the Service will debit/charge a Payment Account that you are legally authorized to use. You also authorize the Service to credit your Payment Account for payments returned to the Service by the United States Postal Service or Payee, or payments remitted to you on behalf of another user of the Service. The Service will use its best efforts to make all your payments properly. However, the Service shall incur no liability and any Service Guarantee shall be void if the Service is unable to complete any payments initiated by you because of the existence of any one or more of the following circumstances:

  1. If, through no fault of the Service, your Payment Account does not contain sufficient funds to complete the transaction or the transaction would exceed the credit limit of your overdraft account;
  2. The payment processing center is not working properly and you know or have been advised by the Service about the malfunction before you execute the transaction;
  3. If, through no fault of the Service, a Payee that makes available to you split-payment functionality (in which your payment may be split and allocated in various ways that such Payee may offer) does not split and/or allocate the payment in accordance with your Payment Instruction;
  4. You have not provided the Service with the correct Payment Account information, or the correct name, address, phone number, or account information for the Payee; and/or,
  5. Circumstances beyond control of the Service (such as, but not limited to, fire, flood, or interference from an outside force) prevent the proper execution of the transaction and the Service has taken reasonable precautions to avoid those circumstances.

Provided none of the foregoing exceptions are applicable, if the Service causes an incorrect amount of funds to be removed from your Payment Account or causes funds from your Payment Account to be directed to a payee which does not comply with your Payment Instructions, the Service shall be responsible for returning the improperly transferred funds to your Payment Account, and for directing to the proper Payee any previously misdirected transactions, and, if applicable, for any late payment related charges.

PAYMENT METHODS

The Service reserves the right to select the method in which to remit funds on your behalf to your Payee. These payment methods include, but are not limited to, an electronic payment, an electronic to check payment, or a laser draft payment.

PAYMENT CANCELLATION REQUESTS

You cannot cancel or edit Online Quick Pay Payments within the application; in such case, you must contact Shumate Mechanical or your credit card company directly. There is no charge for canceling or editing a Payment that you submit using a Payment Account that is a checking account. Once the Service has begun processing any Payment, it cannot be cancelled or edited, therefore a stop payment request must be submitted.

STOP PAYMENT REQUESTS

The Service cannot assist with a stop payment request for any Payment scheduled using a Payment Account that is a credit card account; in such case, you must contact your credit card company directly. The following applies only to Bill Payments scheduled using a Payment Account that is a checking account: The Service's ability to process a stop payment request will depend on the Bill Payment method and whether or not a Payment has cleared. The Service may also not have a reasonable opportunity to act on any stop payment request after a Bill Payment has been processed. If you desire to stop any Bill Payment that has already been processed, you must contact customer service. Although the Service will make every effort to accommodate your request, the Service will have no liability for failing to do so. The Service may also require you to present your request in writing within fourteen (14) days. The charge for each stop payment request will be the current charge for such service as set out in the applicable fee schedule.
