InvoiceCare will share your Personal Information with a limited number of InvoiceCare partners for the explicit purpose of providing services to you (such as those described below). If we do this, such third parties’ use of your Personal Information will be bound by terms at least as restrictive as this Privacy Policy.

As we develop our business, we may buy or sell assets or business offerings. Customer, transaction, email, and visitor information is generally one of the transferred business assets in these types of transactions. We may also transfer such information in the course of corporate divestitures, bankruptcy, mergers, or dissolution.

Except as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy, InvoiceCare will not disclose Personal Information to any third party unless required to do so by law or subpoena or if we believe that such action is necessary to (a) conform to the law, comply with legal process served on us or our affiliates, or investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected or actual illegal activities; (b) to enforce our User Agreement, take precautions against liability, to investigate and defend ourselves against any third-party claims or allegations, to assist government enforcement agencies, or to protect the security or integrity of our site; and (c) to exercise or protect the rights, property, or personal safety of InvoiceCare, our customers or others.

InvoiceCare is an accounts receivable management service (the “Service”). Our goal is to make it easier for you to manage your accounts receivables and increase the speed at which you get paid.

This InvoiceCare User Agreement (this “Agreement”) is a legal agreement between you (“you” or “your”) and a Texas sole proprietorship doing business as InvoiceCare (“InvoiceCare,” “we,” “our” or “us”).

This Agreement is divided into two parts. Part One explains all of the terms that govern your use of the Service. Part Two contains additional legal terms, including provisions that limit our liability to you and govern any potential legal dispute.

Because certain aspects of the collections industry are regulated in a way that affects how one does business, and because people that owe you money could sue you or sue us for a whole host of reasons, it is important that you read the following terms and conditions carefully and know what is expected of you, and what is expected of each of the parties involved.

BY INDICATING THAT YOU “ACCEPT” THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOU ENTER INTO A LEGALLY BINDING AGREEMENT WITH INVOICECARE.  IN ORDER TO USE THE SERVICE, YOU MUST ACCEPT ALL OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, PLEASE SEEK THE ADVICE OF AN ATTORNEY BEFORE YOU “ACCEPT’ THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

Part One: Terms Governing Use of the Service

1. InvoiceCare Account Registration.

In order to use the Service an InvoiceCare account (“InvoiceCare Account”) must be created. For purposes of creating and maintaining the InvoiceCare Account we will gather data from forms inside and outside the website, from the third-party invoicing application that you use in conjunction with InvoiceCare, or via phone or email, including but not limited to the following:

1. Your name and other personal information;

2. Login credentials for your current invoicing or accounting application;

3. Information about your business including billing information and credit card details;

4. The Social Security Number or Employer Identification Number of each of your customers (if we are to perform services with respect to each such customer); and

5. The full balance owed on each outstanding Account (defined below) of your customer, including any late fees.

You must provide accurate and complete information in response to our questions. You must also keep the information that you provide up-to-date.

Both individuals and businesses may register for an InvoiceCare Account.

In the case of a company, partnership or other legally recognized business, you must provide accurate and complete information about yourself as well as the business. You can only sign up to use the Service on behalf of a legally recognized business if you are authorized to act on behalf of the business and have the authority to bind the business to this Agreement. In order to sign up a business to use the Service, you must agree to this Agreement on behalf of the business. If you have so agreed, “you” means you, the natural person, as well as the business.  In certain instances, InvoiceCare may require an individual owner(s) of a legally recognized business to guaranty the obligations of such business under this Agreement.

By creating an InvoiceCare Account, you confirm that you are either a legal resident of the United States, a United States citizen or a business entity authorized to conduct business in each state in which it operates. The Service and your InvoiceCare Account may only be used in the fifty states of the United States of America and the District of Columbia. You may not export the Service directly or indirectly, and you acknowledge that the Service may be subject to export restrictions imposed by United States law, including United States Export Administration Regulations (15 C.F.R. Chapter VII).

2.  Service Description.

We will perform the Service on the accounts receivable referred to us by you (“Accounts”).  Accounts denoted as “Stage 1″ or “Current” or “Stage 2″ or “Past Due” Accounts are those Accounts that are not yet in default where “first-party” actions will be performed in your name.  In Stages 1 and 2, InvoiceCare will, at your direction, perform actions on your behalf to help you get paid.  Such actions may consist of sending printed materials, emails or placing phone calls to your customers on your behalf and in your name.

Accounts you submit that are denoted as “Stage 3″ or “Default” Accounts are those Accounts we will refer to our third-party collection service company partner (“Agency”) and allow our Agency partner to seek payment on your behalf.  Such service will be conducted consistent with Agency’s normal collection efforts, including letters and telephone calls to your customer all of which will be performed in a professional and courteous manner, and in accordance with the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act.

On Stage 3 Accounts, InvoiceCare will act as the coordinator of the process and will receive payments collected by Agency from your customers then forward such payments to you, less applicable fees payable to Agency and InvoiceCare (fees are disclosed here).

Agency will use its own name in all communications and transactions with your customers on Stage 3 Accounts.  In order for Agency to serve in this role, you must enter into certain agreements with Agency (an “Agency Agreement”).  If you fail to enter into an Agency Agreement, we may suspend or terminate your InvoiceCare Account or refuse to perform any service with respect to Stage 3 Accounts.

3. COMMERCIAL ACCOUNTS ONLY.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE SERVICE PROVIDED BY INVOICECARE IS ONLY WITH RESPECT TO, AND WE WILL ONLY SERVICE, ACCOUNTS THAT ARE COMMERCIAL DEBTS.  WE WILL NOT ASSIST YOU WITH COLLECTING “CONSUMER DEBT” (AS SUCH TERM IS DEFINED UNDER THE FAIR DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES ACT [THE “FDCPA”]).  WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REJECT AN ACCOUNT FOR ANY REASON, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, BECAUSE IT IS A CONSUMER DEBT.

4. Third-Party Applications.

We are relying on the data that comes to us via third party invoicing and accounting applications (each a “Third-Party Application”) in performing the Service.  In providing the Service, we are relying on you to maintain and accurately enter your data in the Third-Party Application.

We will not validate any debts, customer names, whether a debt is of a commercial or consumer nature, or any other information provided by you via the Third-Party Application.

In no event shall InvoiceCare by liable for any errors, mistakes, or inaccuracies in the content entered into the Third-Party Application or in connection with any interruption of the Third-Party Application.

5. Verification and Inspection.

If your request to open an InvoiceCare Account is approved, InvoiceCare may request additional information from you at any time. If you refuse any of these requests, the Service may be suspended and/or your InvoiceCare Account may be terminated. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate the InvoiceCare Account of any user who provides inaccurate, untrue, or incomplete information, or fails to comply with the InvoiceCare Account registration requirements or this Agreement.

6. Unauthorized or Illegal Use.

We may decide not to authorize or settle an Account that you submit to us if we believe that the Account is in violation of any InvoiceCare agreement, or exposes you, other InvoiceCare users, or InvoiceCare to harm. Harm includes, but is not limited to, fraud and other criminal acts. If we reasonably suspect that your InvoiceCare Account has been used for an unauthorized, illegal, or criminal purpose, you give us express authorization to share information about you, your InvoiceCare Account, and any of your transactions with law enforcement.

7. Communications regarding Customer Payments; Bankruptcy.

You will promptly notify us upon receiving a notice of bankruptcy concerning any Accounts. If one of your customers files for bankruptcy protection we must immediately stop the Service with respect to such customer.  This is very important. You will also promptly update your Third-Party Application upon receipt of any payments on any Accounts.

8. Our Fees.

You agree to pay the applicable fees on our Fee Schedule section here as well as those listed in your Individual Terms Addendum, incorporated herein by reference (“Fees”). Subject to the terms of this Agreement, we reserve the right to change the Fees listed on our Fee Schedule section. If we change our Fees, we will give you at least ten (10) days notice of any change. You will not be permitted to continue to use the Service unless you “accept” the change in Fees. To withdraw your acceptance, you will need to decline the usage items associated with Fees, which may make your usage of the Service less effective. All Fees, charges, and payments collected or paid through the Service are denominated in US dollars.

Your failure to fully pay amounts that you owe us on demand will be a breach of this Agreement.

Any amount due that is not paid when due and payable will bear interest until paid at a rate of interest equal to four percent per annum more than the prime rate established from time to time by Citibank, N.A. in New York, New York; provided, however, that in no event will such interest rate exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by applicable law.  You will be liable for our costs associated with collection in addition to the amount owed, including without limitation attorneys’ fees and expenses, costs of any arbitration or court proceeding, collection agency fees, and any applicable interest.

9. Certain Authorizations.

• Charge your credit card for Fees. You authorize us to charge any credit card you have on file with us for any Fees that you have incurred.

• Deposit Net Funds Received (Stage 3). In the event an Account is transmitted to Agency and third-party collection activities are successful in securing partial or full payment directly to InvoiceCare and/or Agency, InvoiceCare and/or Agency will deduct the Contingency Fee listed in the Fee Schedule section from such partial or full payment and remit the balance to you via check to the address on file within one week of the funds being available in our depository account.

The foregoing authorizations will remain in full force and effect until your InvoiceCare Account is closed or terminated.

10. Your Liability for Chargebacks.

The amount of a Payout may be charged back to your credit card on file (a “Chargeback”) if the underlying payment from your customer (a) has a “stop payment” issued, (b) does not “clear” due to insufficient funds, (c) is otherwise disputed by your customer, (d) was not authorized or we have any reason to believe that the payment was not authorized, or (e) is allegedly unlawful, suspicious, or in violation of the terms of this Agreement.

11. Our Collection Rights for Chargebacks.

For any transaction that results in a Chargeback, we may charge the amount of any Chargeback, any associated Fees, and any fines, penalties or other charges assessed by our financial institution to your credit card on file. If you have pending Chargebacks, we may delay Payouts. You agree to pay all costs and expenses, including without limitation attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses, incurred by or on behalf of us in connection with the collection of all deficit balances unpaid by you.

12. Excessive Chargebacks.

If we determine that you are incurring an excessive amount of Chargebacks, we may establish controls or conditions governing your InvoiceCare Account, including without limitation, by (a) establishing new processing fees, (b) creating a reserve in an amount reasonably determined by us to cover anticipated Chargebacks and related fees, (c) delaying Payouts, and/or (d) terminating or suspending the Service.

13. InvoiceCare Processing Errors.

We will attempt to rectify processing errors that we discover. Subject to Section 10 of this Agreement, if an error results in your receipt of less than the correct amount of funds to which you are entitled, InvoiceCare will promptly credit your credit card on file with the amount of the underpayment once we are aware of the error. If an error results in your receipt of more than the correct amount of funds to which you are entitled, you authorize us to debit the extra funds from your credit card on file.

14. Availability of Funds.

Should InvoiceCare need to conduct an investigation or resolve any pending dispute related to your InvoiceCare Account, we may defer Payouts for the entire time it takes for us to do so. We also may defer payout as required by law or court order, or if otherwise requested by law enforcement or governmental entity.

15. InvoiceCare Account History.

When we make a payment to you, we will provide you a payment confirmation. The confirmation will serve as your receipt.

Except as required by law, you are solely responsible for (a) compiling and retaining permanent records of all transactions and other data associated with your InvoiceCare Account and your use of the Service, and (b) reconciling all payment information that is associated with your InvoiceCare Account. If you believe that there is an error or unauthorized activity is associated with your InvoiceCare Account, you agree to contact us immediately.

16. Refunds.

While we will do our best to make your experience a good one, there are very few occasions where we can refund a service that you have paid for with InvoiceCare. Here are a few of the instances where a refund may be possible:

• If a printed reminder or thank-you note is in error, and that error is our fault.

• If a pre-collections (final notice) letter is in error, and that error is our fault.

In the event a Stage 3 Account is transferred to Agency there are no refunds on Fees due Agency and InvoiceCare on such Accounts, except as may otherwise agreed by Agency.

17. Your Liability for Stage 3 Accounts.

You must approve each referral of an Account to a 3rd party collections Agency. By approving referral of of an Account to an Agency, this means you are requesting us and therefore Agency to work on that Account on your behalf and attempt to get your money.

The Agency will begin working immediately upon receipt of this Account from us, and will expend a great deal of effort to obtain payment on your behalf. Because this is a contingency relationship (i.e., you only pay upon success) it is critical that you do not use Stage 3 unless you are aware of the terms and conditions associated with the Agency accepting your Account.  For example, you cannot terminate the Agency’s collection activities and thereafter receive payment from your customer and not be liable for the applicable Fees.

After an Account goes to Agency, if ANY money is collected by you, by Agency or otherwise, you owe the Fees described on the Fee Schedule section here.

If your customer pays you in any way other than through the Agency or InvoiceCare, you still owe InvoiceCare and Agency the applicable Fees.  If your customer returns the merchandise to you, thus paying some or all of the balance due on the Account with that merchandise, you still owe InvoiceCare and Agency the applicable Fees. If you decide to write off the balance for any reason, you still owe InvoiceCare and Agency any applicable Fees. If the Agency returns the Account to us, no further Contingency Fees will be due on that Account.

In the event an Account is transmitted to Agency and a subsequent change of balance is detected for that Account in the Third-Party Application, that change in balance will be assumed to represent money collected and InvoiceCare will automatically charge the applicable Fees. You are responsible for monitoring your InvoiceCare Account and Third-Party Application and ensuring that any changes in balance for an Account that has been transmitted to Agency are correct. You must notify us of any errors related to Fees within five (5) business days of the day the change in balance takes place. Failure to notify us of such an error will be deemed a waiver of any right to dispute amounts charged.

18. Taxes.

You are responsible for determining any and all taxes assessed, incurred, or required to be collected, paid, or withheld for any reason in connection your use of our services (“Taxes”). You also are solely responsible for collecting, withholding, reporting, and remitting correct Taxes to the appropriate tax authority. We are not obligated to, nor will we determine whether Taxes apply, or calculate, collect, report, or remit any Taxes to any tax authority arising from any transaction.

19. Customer Service.

You are solely responsible for all customer service issues relating to your goods or services, including returns, refunds and adjustments, rebates, and feedback concerning experiences with your personnel, policies or processes. In performing customer service, you will always present yourself as a separate and distinct person or entity from us.

20. Your Privacy.

Your privacy is very important to InvoiceCare. Upon acceptance of this Agreement you confirm that you have read, understood and accepted InvoiceCare’s Privacy Policy located here.

21. Disclosures and Notices.

You agree that InvoiceCare can provide Disclosures and Notices required by law and other information about your InvoiceCare Account to you electronically by posting it on the Website, or emailing it to the email address listed in your InvoiceCare Account. You also agree that electronic Disclosures and Notices have the same meaning and effect as if we had provided you with a paper copy. Such Disclosures and Notices are considered received by you within 24 hours of the time it was posted to our Website, or emailed to you unless we receive notice that the email was not delivered. It is your responsibility to ensure that emails from InvoiceCare are white-listed and not blocked by SPAM filters or other blocking mechanisms.

22. Security.

We have implemented technical and organizational measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration or disclosure. However, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat those measures or use your personal information for improper purposes. You acknowledge that you provide your personal information at your own risk.

23. Termination.

If your InvoiceCare Account is terminated for any reason or no reason, you agree: (a) to continue to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the extent such terms and conditions by their nature extend beyond the termination of your InvoiceCare Account (e.g., those related to Taxes) , (b) that the license provided under this Agreement shall end, (c) that we reserve the right (but have no obligation) to delete all of your information and account data stored on our servers, and (d) that InvoiceCare shall not be liable to you or any third party for termination of access to the Service or deletion of your information or account data.

24. Your Right to Terminate.

You may terminate this Agreement only as described in your Individual Terms Addendum. Upon closure of your InvoiceCare Account, you will lose access to all data in the account and any pending transactions will be cancelled. Any funds that we are holding in custody for you at the time of closure, less any applicable Fees, will be paid to you according to the time schedule set forth in this Agreement. If an investigation is pending at the time you close your InvoiceCare Account, we may hold your funds as described herein. If you are later determined to be entitled to some or all of the funds in dispute, we will release those funds to you.

25. Suspension or Termination by Us.

We may suspend the Service and/or terminate this Agreement and close your InvoiceCare Account for any reason or no reason at any time upon notice to you unless otherwise provided in your Individual Terms Addendum. If we suspend or terminate your account without cause, we will refund a prorated portion of your Subscription Fee. We will not refund or reimburse you if there is cause, like a violation of the Terms and Conditions.

26. Effect of Termination.

We will not be liable to you for compensation, reimbursement, or damages in connection with your use of the Service, or any termination or suspension of the Service. Any termination of this Agreement does not relieve you of any obligations to pay any Fees or costs accrued prior to the termination and any other amounts owed by you to us as provided in this Agreement.

Stage 3 Accounts that have been referred to the Agency will continue to be pursued by the Agency, and any applicable Fees will continue to apply after termination by you, until full payment is received or the Account is referred back to us by Agency.

The Service is controlled and operated from its facilities in the United States. InvoiceCare makes no representations that the Service is appropriate or available for use in other locations. Those who access or use the Service from other jurisdictions do so at their own volition and are entirely responsible for compliance with all applicable United States and local laws and regulations, including but not limited to export and import regulations. You may not use the Service if you are a resident of a country embargoed by the United States, or are a foreign person or entity blocked or denied by the United States government. Unless otherwise explicitly stated, all materials found on the Service are solely directed to individuals, companies, or other entities located in the United States.

33. Disputes.

Except for any other agreement between you and InvoiceCare or to which both of us are a party (each a “Separate Agreement”), these terms are a complete statement of the agreement between you and InvoiceCare, and describe the entire liability of InvoiceCare and your exclusive remedy with respect to your access and use of the Service. To the extent the terms of this Agreement and the terms of a separate agreement are inconsistent, the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to control to the extent of the inconsistency.  If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, then it shall be changed and interpreted to accomplish the objectives of such provision to the greatest extent possible under applicable law, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

34. Governing Law.

This Agreement is governed by Texas law as applied to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within Texas, without regard to its choice of law or conflicts of law principles that would require application of law of a different jurisdiction, and applicable federal law. The parties hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue in Dallas County, Texas or the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas. Headings are included for convenience only, and shall not be considered in interpreting this Agreement. The Agreement does not limit any rights that InvoiceCare may have under trade secret, copyright, patent or other laws. InvoiceCare’s failure to assert any right or provision under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. No waiver of any term of this Agreement shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term. InvoiceCare shall not be deemed to have waived a right or remedy under this Agreement unless acknowledged in writing by an authorized representative of InvoiceCare.

35. Limitation on Time to Sue.

Unless otherwise required by law, an action or proceeding by you to enforce an obligation, duty or right arising under this Agreement or by law must commence within one year after the cause of action accrues.

36. Right to Amend.

We have the right to change or add to the terms of this Agreement at any time, and to change, delete, discontinue, or impose conditions on any feature or aspect of the Service with notice that we in our sole discretion deem to be reasonable in the circumstances, including such notice on our Website at InvoiceCare.com or any other website maintained or owned by us for the purposes of providing services in terms of this Agreement. Any use of the Service after our publication of any such changes shall constitute your acceptance of this Agreement as modified.

37. Assignment.

This Agreement, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by InvoiceCare without restriction.

38. Third Party Services and Links to Other Web Sites.

You may be offered services, products and promotions provided by third parties and not by InvoiceCare (collectively, “Third Party Services”). If you decide to use these Third Party Services you will be responsible for reviewing and understanding the terms and conditions associated with these services. You agree that InvoiceCare is not responsible for the performance of these services. The Website may contain links to third party websites as a convenience to you. The inclusion of any website link does imply an approval, endorsement, or recommendation by InvoiceCare. You agree that you access any such website at your own risk, and that the site is not governed by the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement. InvoiceCare expressly disclaims any liability for these websites. Please remember that when you use a link to go from our Website to another website, our Privacy Policy is no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on any other website, including those that have a link on our Website, is subject to that website’s own rules and policies.

39. Modification of Terms of Service.

We have the right to change or add to the terms of this Agreement at any time, and to change, delete, discontinue, or impose conditions on any feature or aspect of the software or services with notice that we in our sole discretion deem to be reasonable in the circumstances, including notice on our Website at InvoiceCare.com or any other website maintained or owned by us for the purposes of providing services in terms of this Agreement, and communicate to you. Any use of our software or services after our publication of any such changes shall constitute your acceptance of this Agreement as modified.

40. Other Provisions.

Except as provided in a Separate Agreement, these terms are a complete statement of the agreement between you and InvoiceCare with respect to the provision of payment services. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and any other InvoiceCare agreement, policy, or Separate Agreement, this Agreement shall prevail on the subject matter of this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, then it shall be changed and interpreted to accomplish the objectives of such provision to the greatest extent possible under applicable law, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

41. Survival.

In addition to any provision that is reasonably necessary to accomplish or enforce the purpose of this Agreement, the following sections of this Agreement survive and remain in effect in accordance with their terms upon the termination of this Agreement: 5, 9, 11-15, 19, 28-35.

The Subscription Fee is billed in advance on a monthly basis as set forth in your Individual Terms Addendum. The Subscription Fee is non-refundable. There are no refunds or credits for partial months of service or months unused.

In addition, if you direct InvoiceCare to perform certain actions on your behalf, you will be charged Action Fees on a “per action” basis as described below:

Collections Contingency Fee

If you direct the Service to send Accounts to Collections, you will be obligated to pay a contingency fee. The contingency percentage will be determined by the balance due on the Account at the time it is referred to Agency. The contingency fee payable on each Account will be the product of the amount actually collected by the Agency multiplied by the applicable percentage below:

For example, if you have an invoice with an outstanding balance of $6,000 at the time it is referred to the Agency for Stage 3 collection activities, and the Agency recovers $4,000, the amount of the contingency fee will be $1,200 ($4000 * .30). Note that there are no “per action” fees charged for actions performed by our third party collections agency partner for Accounts that you have directed the Service to send to Collections.
