7. Fees and limits. We may, at our discretion, impose limits on the amount and/or the number of payments you can send and receive. If you use your credit card as the payment method when sending money, you may also be charged a cash-advance fee by your card issuer. In order to manage risk, we may limit the payment methods available when you make a payment. Fees and limits may change from time to time in our sole discretion.

8. Payment Methods. DEBTLE will charge the entire cost of the payment to your preferred payment method. The transaction type, among other factors, determines when and how we use your preferred payment method, as explained on [Link to clause/description of payment methods]. You can manage payment methods, including selecting preferred payment methods, in the Payment Methods section of your DEBTLE account settings.

9. Bank account transfers. When you use your bank account as a payment method, you are allowing us to initiate a transfer from your bank account. For these transactions, we will make electronic transfers from your bank account in the amount you authorize. You authorize us to try this transfer again if the initial transfer is declined by your bank for any reason. YOU SHOULD CONFIRM THAT YOUR BANK ACCOUNT CONTAINS FUNDS SUFFICIENT TO COVER THE PAYMENT BEFORE MAKING THE PAYMENT, IF FUNDED BY YOUR BANK ACCOUNT. THIS WILL HELP YOU AVOID OVERDRAFT OR OTHER FEES YOUR FINANCIAL INSTITUTION MAY CHARGE.

10. Debit card processing. DEBTLE will process your debit or prepaid card funded transactions through either the ATM debit network or the Visa, Mastercard or Discover network.

11. Payments that are invalidated and reversed. Payments may be invalidated and reversed by us if, among other reasons, we sent the payment to you in error, the funding transaction is declined or reversed, the payment was unauthorized or unfunded, or if the payment was for activities that violated this user agreement or any other agreement with us.

As the sender or recipient of a payment that is later invalidated for any reason, you may be liable to us for the full amount of the payment and we may recover the amount of the payment (plus any fees) from you. We may recover the amount of the payment from either the sender or the recipient of an invalidated payment in our discretion (subject to applicable law). For example, if you send a payment funded by a bank account and the bank informs us it cannot cover the payment due to a lack of funds or a dispute, we may hold you liable for the payment, or if you were the recipient of that payment, we may reverse that payment from your account to cover the liability.

When recovering the amount of an invalidated payment from you, we may apply any money sent to you on DEBTLE, request that you add money to your account for the amount of the payment and apply that money to amounts owed, and/or we may engage in collection efforts to recover such amounts from you, place a limitation or take other action on your DEBTLE account.

If we invalidate a payment because the card issuer or originating bank declined or reversed the transaction, then you may be liable for the payment even if you disagree with the decision of the card issuer or originating bank to decline or reverse the payment. If you believe that a payment initiated with your DEBTLE account was not authorized, then you must notify us immediately, even if you (or someone else) disputes the transaction with the card issuer or originating bank. If you fail to report the unauthorized activity directly to us, then we may recover the amount of the reversed payment from you, as described above.

12. Compliance with Laws. You agree to comply with all applicable laws regarding your use of the website. You further agreed that information provided by you is truthful and accurate to the best of your knowledge.

13. Indemnification. You agree to indemnify, defend and hold DEBTLE CO. and our partners, employees, and affiliates, harmless from any liability, loss, claim and expense, including reasonable attorney's fees, related to your violation of this Agreement or use of the Site.

16. Use of Information. DEBTLE CO. reserves the right, and you authorize us, to use and assign all information regarding site uses by you and all information provided by you in any manner consistent with our Privacy Policy.

17. Identity authentication. You authorize us, directly or through third parties, to make any inquiries we consider necessary to verify your identity. This may include:

  • asking you for further information, such as your date of birth, a social security or taxpayer identification number, your physical address and other information that will allow us to reasonably identify you;

  • requiring you to take steps to confirm ownership of your email address, phone number or financial instruments;

  • ordering a credit report from a credit reporting agency, or verifying your information against third party databases or through other sources; or

  • requiring you to provide your driver’s license or other identifying documents.

Anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing laws may require that we verify the required identifying information if you use certain DEBTLE services. We reserve the right to close, suspend, or limit access to your DEBTLE account and/or the DEBTLE services in the event that, after reasonable enquiries, we are unable to obtain information about you required to verify your identity.

18. Holds and Limitations. Under certain circumstances, in order to protect DEBTLE and the security and integrity of the network that uses the DEBTLE services, DEBTLE may, in its sole discretion, take account-level or transaction-level actions. Our decision about holds and limitations may be based on confidential criteria that are essential to our management of risk and the protection of DEBTLE, our customers and/or service providers. We may use proprietary fraud and risk modeling when assessing the risk associated with your DEBTLE account. In addition, we may be restricted by regulation or a governmental authority from disclosing certain information to you about such decisions. We have no obligation to disclose the details of our risk management or security procedures to you. A hold is an action that DEBTLE may take under certain circumstances either at the transaction level or the account level. When DEBTLE places a temporary hold on a transaction, the money is not available to either the sender or the recipient. DEBTLE reviews many factors before placing a hold on a transaction, including: account tenure, transaction activity, and past disputes.

  • Holds based on DEBTLE’s risk decisions. We may place a hold on transactions involving your DEBTLE account if, in our sole discretion, we believe that there may be a high level of risk associated with you, your DEBTLE account, or your transactions or that placing such a hold is necessary to comply with state or federal regulatory requirements. We make decisions about whether to place a hold based on a number of factors, including information available to us from both internal sources and third parties. Risk-based holds may remain in place for up to 180 days from the date the transaction was made. We may release the hold earlier under certain circumstances, but any earlier release is at our sole discretion.

  • Account Limitations. Limitations are implemented to help protect DEBTLE and DEBTLE users when we notice restricted activities or activity that appears to us as unusual or suspicious. Limitations also help us collect information necessary for keeping your DEBTLE account open. There are several reasons why your DEBTLE account could be limited, including:

    • If we suspect someone could be using your DEBTLE account without your knowledge, we’ll limit it for your protection and look into the unusual activity.

    • If another financial institution alerts us that someone has used one of your linked payment methods without permission.

    • In order to comply with the law.

    • If we reasonably believe you have breached this agreement or violated any other DEBTLE policy.

    You will need to resolve any issues with your account before a limitation can be removed. Normally, this is done after you provide us with the information we request. However, if we reasonably believe a risk still exists after you have provided us that information, we may take action to protect us, our users, a third party, or you from reversals, fees, fines, penalties, legal and/or regulatory risks and any other liability.

19. Protection from Unauthorized Transactions. To protect yourself from unauthorized activity in your DEBTLE account, you should regularly log into your DEBTLE account and review your DEBTLE account statement. We will notify you of each transaction by sending an email to your primary email address on file. You should review these transaction notifications to ensure that each transaction was authorized and accurately completed.

  • An “Unauthorized Transaction” occurs when money is sent from your DEBTLE account that you did not authorize and that did not benefit you. For example, if someone steals your password, uses the password to access your DEBTLE account, and sends a payment from your DEBTLE account, an Unauthorized Transaction has occurred.

  • The following are NOT considered Unauthorized Transactions: If you give someone access to your DEBTLE account (by giving them your login information) and they use your DEBTLE account without your knowledge or permission. You are responsible for transactions made in this situation. Invalidation and reversal of a payment as a result of the actions described under Refunds, Reversals and Chargebacks.

20. Reporting an Unauthorized Transaction. If you believe your DEBTLE login information has been lost or stolen, please contact DEBTLE customer service immediately at info@debtle.com. Filing a chargeback or reversal with your financial institution related to a DEBTLE payment does not constitute notice of an Unauthorized Transaction to us. You must contact us directly to notify us of Unauthorized Transactions by reaching out to DEBTLE customer service.

21. Dormant accounts. If you do not log in to your DEBTLE account for two or more years, we may close your DEBTLE account and send any of your funds held in our possession to your primary address (if we have verified the required identifying information that you have provided to us) or, if required, escheat (send) any of your funds held in our possession to your state of residency. We will determine your state of residency based on the information provided for your DEBTLE account. If your address is unknown, any of your funds held in our possession will be escheated to the State of Louisiana. Where required, we will send you a notice prior to escheating any of your funds. If you fail to respond to this notice, your funds held in our possession will be escheated to the applicable state. If you would like to claim any escheated funds from the applicable state, please contact the applicable state’s unclaimed property administrator.
