If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or Rabbet reasonably suspects that you have done so (e.g., because any communication directed to contact information provided in Registration Data is returned as undeliverable), Rabbet may suspend or terminate your account.

5. SENDING AND RECEIVING LIMITS
(a) Account Types. Within the system exist two types of payment accounts with separate functionality and liabilities. Unless where noted, these Terms Of Services apply to both account types.
(i) Payment Senders. A Payment Sender has the ability to both send and receive payments. In order to use the payment functionality of the Rabbet application, you must open a “Access API” account provided by Dwolla, Inc. (“Dwolla”) and you must accept the Dwolla Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Any funds held in the Dwolla account are held by Dwolla’s financial institution partners as set out in the Dwolla Terms of Service . You authorize us to share your identity and account data with Dwolla for the purposes of opening and supporting your Dwolla account, and you are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of that data.You agree that you are not opening the Dwolla account primarily for personal, family, or household purposes. You understand that you will access and manage your Dwolla account through our application, and Dwolla account notifications will be sent by us, not Dwolla. We will provide customer support for your Dwolla account activity, and can be reached at rabbet.com, support@rabbet.com and 1-833-4SIMPLY.
(ii) Receive Only Account. A Receive Only Account will only receive payments. It will not initiate payments on the account behalf. You expressly authorize Rabbet’s service provider, Dwolla, Inc. to originate credit transfers to your financial institution account.
(b) Sending Limits. Rabbet may, at its sole discretion, impose limits on the amount of payments you can send through the Service. You can view your sending limit, if any, by logging into your account. Rabbet reserves the right to decrease or otherwise adjust your sending limit at any time, for any reason.
(c) Account Limits. You may be limited with respect to the amount of money that can be sent from your account per transaction. The per transaction limit varies based on your account type.
(d) Transaction Reversal. Any payment that you receive may be reversed if: (i) the sender or the sender’s financial institution requests a reversal of the payment; (ii) the payment was sent to you as the result of an Error (as defined in Section 7(a)); or (iii) the payment was unauthorized (each of Sections 5(c)(i)-(iii), a “Reversal”). You are liable to Rabbet’s financial institution and payment processing service providers (“Service Providers”) for any amount you receive that is the subject of a Reversal, and you may be charged a Reversal fee, as may be updated from time to time by Rabbet.
(e) Authorization to Recover Amounts Due. You authorize Rabbet and Service Providers to recover any amounts relating to Reversal by debiting the available balance within your Rabbet account. If your account balance is insufficient for Rabbet to recover any amounts relating to Reversal, you authorize Rabbet and Service Providers to take any of the following actions to recover the remaining amounts from you: (i) debit the financial institution accounts linked to your account (“Linked Accounts”; (ii) suspend your account and require your immediate payment; or (iii) engage in collection efforts.
(f) Refused and Refunded Payments. When you send a payment, the recipient is not required to accept it. Any unclaimed, refunded or refused payment will be returned to your account or your original payment method for the transaction. It may take up to thirty (30) days to return such amounts to you.
(g) Recipient Processing Delay. When you send a payment to certain recipients, you are providing an authorization to the recipient to process your payment and complete the transaction. The payment will be held as pending until the recipient processes your payment. Some recipients may delay processing your payment. In such instances, your authorization will remain valid for up to thirty (30) days.
6. WITHDRAWING MONEY
(a) How to Withdraw Money. You may withdraw funds from your account in any of these methods: (i) electronic transfer to a Linked Account; (ii) physical check sent by mail; or (iii) another method made available by Rabbet. For physical checks sent by mail, Rabbet may request documentation from you to verify the validity of the address, and it may not send the check to you until you have provided the documentation requested. If you fail to cash a check within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date of issuance, Rabbet may return the funds to the sending institution, minus applicable processing fees.
(b) Withdrawal Limits. Rabbet may limit your ability to withdraw funds until you comply with our requests for information. Withdrawals of large sums of money may be subject to delay in the event Rabbet conducts, at its sole discretion, a risk review.
(c) Withdrawal Fees. Withdrawals may be subject to applicable fees, depending on the method of withdrawal, as posted within the Service.
7. UNAUTHORIZED TRANSACTIONS AND ERRORS
(a) Assistance and Notice. If you become aware that a payment has been sent from your account that you did not authorize or an error occurred in any transaction involving your account (including an incorrect amount sent to or from your account) (each, an “Error”), Rabbet may assist in rectifying the Error, provided that you promptly notify Rabbet in writing of the Error, but in no case more than (60) days after it appears in your account statement. You should carefully review your account statements and transaction confirmations to ensure that they are accurate.
(b) Content of Notification. In your notification, please provide the following: (i) your full name and the email address as listed in Registration Data; (ii) a description of any suspected Error and an explanation of the basis for your belief that the Error exists or more information from Rabbet is needed to make a determination; and (iii) the amount of the suspected Error.
(c) Investigation. After you notify Rabbet of any suspected Error, or Rabbet otherwise becomes aware of one, Rabbet will use commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) conduct an investigation to determine whether an Error has occurred; and (ii) complete the investigation within ten (10) business days of the date it received your notification of the suspected Error. You will cooperate reasonably with Rabbet’s investigation and promptly provide any additional information and documentation that Rabbet may reasonably request.
(d) Rectifying Errors. Upon completion of its investigation, Rabbet will provide you with an explanation of its findings. Subject to the exclusions set forth in Section 7(e), Rabbet will: (i) credit the amount to your account that was deducted as the result of an Error to the extent the Error arose from any negligent act or omission or willful misconduct on the part of Rabbet; and (ii) at its sole discretion, credit the amount to your account that was deducted as the result of any other Error. In the event that an Error results in your receipt of more than the amount to which you are entitled, Rabbet will debit the amount you received as the result of the Error from your account.
(e) Exclusions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, under no circumstances shall Rabbet be liable for any Error to the extent it arises from: (i) your breach of the TOS; (ii) your negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) any actions or circumstances beyond Rabbet’s reasonable control.
8. CLOSING YOUR ACCOUNT
(a) How to Close Your Account. You may close your account at any time by following the instructions provided within the Service. You must withdraw your balance prior to closing your account, and Rabbet will cancel any pending transactions upon account closure.
(b) Limitations on Closing Your Account. You may not evade an investigation by closing your account. If you close your account while we are conducting an investigation, we may hold your funds to protect Rabbet and its affiliates or a third party against the risk of Reversals, Errors, claims, fees, fines, penalties and other potential liabilities. You shall remain liable for all obligations related to your account even after the account has been closed.
9. YOUR LIABILITY FOR TRANSACTIONS
(a) General. You are responsible for all Reversals, Errors (to the extent the Error did not arise from any negligent act or omission or willful misconduct on the part of Rabbet), claims, fees, fines, penalties and other liabilities incurred by Rabbet or other parties caused by or arising from your breach of the TOS or your use of the Service. You agree to reimburse Rabbet and such other parties for any such liabilities.

(c) Reimbursement for Your Liability. In the event that you are liable for any amounts owed to Rabbet, Rabbet may immediately debit such amounts from your balance. If you do not have a balance that is sufficient to cover your liability, your remaining balance (if any) will be debited, your account will have a negative balance up to the amount of your liability, and you will be required to add sufficient funds to your account to eliminate the negative balance or reimburse Rabbet through an alternate method. If you do not do so, Rabbet may engage in collection efforts to recover such amounts from you.
10. PROTECTIONS FOR RABBET AND OTHER PARTIES
(a) General. Rabbet may, at its sole discretion, take appropriate action to protect itself and other parties from your breach of the TOS or violation of applicable law. Such actions may include, among any other actions specifically set forth herein: (i) terminating, suspending or limiting your access to your account or the Service; (ii) refusing to provide the Service to you now and in the future; and (iii) holding your funds for a period of time reasonably necessary to investigate or remediate fraudulent or suspicious activity, including the specific holds discussed in this Section 10.
(b) Risk-Based Holds. Rabbet, in its sole discretion, may place a hold on any of the payments you receive if Rabbet believes there may be a high level of risk associated with you, your account or your transactions. Rabbet’s determination may be based on different factors, and Rabbet may rely on information it receives from third parties. If Rabbet places a hold on a payment, the funds will appear as pending or withheld, and the payment status will indicate the hold. Rabbet may continue holding the payment in your account until Rabbet has completed its investigation and any remedial measures.
(c) Disputed Transaction Holds. If a Reversal, claim or dispute is filed on a payment you receive, Rabbet may place a temporary hold on the funds in your account to cover the amount of the liability.
(d) Account Closure, Termination of Service, Limited Account Access; Confidential Criteria. Rabbet, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to terminate the TOS and your access to the Service for any reason at any time upon notice and payment to you of any unrestricted funds held in your account. You acknowledge and agree that Rabbet’s decision to take certain actions, including limiting access to your account or placing holds, may be based on confidential criteria that is essential to Rabbet’s management of risk and the security of user accounts and the Service. Rabbet shall have no obligation to disclose the details of its risk management or security procedures to you.
11. TAXES
It is your responsibility to determine what, if any, taxes apply to the payments you make or receive, and it is your responsibility to collect, report and remit the correct taxes to the appropriate tax authorities. Rabbet is not responsible for determining whether taxes apply to your transactions, or for collecting, reporting or remitting any taxes arising from such transactions.

This means that you, and not Rabbet, are entirely responsible for all Content that you upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available through the Service (“Your Content”), and other users of the Service, and not Rabbet, are similarly responsible for all Content they upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available through the Service (“User Content”).
(b) You acknowledge and agree that Rabbet has no obligation to pre-screen Content (including Your Content and User Content), although Rabbet reserves the right in its sole discretion to pre-screen, refuse or remove any Content.

(a) Your dealings with advertisers and other third parties who market, sell, buy or offer to sell or buy any goods or services on the Service, including payment for or delivery of such goods or services and any other terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such dealings, are solely between you and the advertiser or other third-party.

20. INDEMNIFICATION
You shall indemnify, defend and hold Rabbet and its affiliates, and each of their officers, directors, employees, agents, partners and licensors (collectively, “Rabbet Parties”) harmless from and against any claim, demand, loss, damage, cost, liability and expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, resulting from or arising out of your: (a) violation of the TOU or any law or regulation; (b) dealings with any borrower, bank, contractor or other party using the Service, including any disputes regarding payment between you and such parties; or (c) violation of any rights of another party.
21. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
(a) YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITH ALL FAULTS. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE RABBET PARTIES EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED OR ARISING FROM STATUTE, COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE OF TRADE OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, BUT, NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
(b) THE RABBET PARTIES MAKE NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY THAT: (i) THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS; (ii) ACCESS TO THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE OR ERROR-FREE; OR (iii) THE INFORMATION AND ANY RESULTS THAT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE SERVICE WILL BE ACCURATE, RELIABLE, CURRENT OR COMPLETE.
(c) RABBET IS NOT A BANK, AND THE SERVICE PROVIDES PAYMENT PROCESSING SERVICES RATHER THAN BANKING SERVICES. RABBET IS NOT ACTING AS A TRUSTEE, FIDUCIARY OR ESCROW WITH RESPECT TO YOUR FUNDS, BUT IS ACTING ONLY AS AN AGENT TO YOU AND CUSTODIAN TO YOUR FUNDS. RABBET DOES NOT HAVE CONTROL OF, NOR LIABILITY FOR, THE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES THAT ARE PAID FOR WITH THE SERVICE, AND IT DOES NOT GUARANTEE THE IDENTITY OF ANY USER OR ENSURE THAT ANY BORROWER, BANK, CONTRACTOR OR OTHER PARTY THAT YOU DEAL WITH IS AUTHORIZED TO COMPLETE ANY TRANSACTION OR WILL COMPLETE ANY TRANSACTION. RABBET WILL MAKE COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE EFFORTS TO ENSURE THAT REQUESTS FOR ELECTRONIC DEBITS AND CREDITS INVOLVING BANK ACCOUNTS, CREDIT CARDS AND CHECK ISSUANCES ARE PROCESSED IN A TIMELY MANNER, BUT RABBET MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES REGARDING THE AMOUNT OF TIME NEEDED TO COMPLETE PROCESSING BECAUSE, AMONG OTHER REASONS, THE SERVICE IS DEPENDENT UPON MANY FACTORS OUTSIDE OF RABBET’S CONTROL, SUCH AS DELAYS IN THE BANKING SYSTEM OR MAIL SERVICE.
22. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
(a) YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE RABBET PARTIES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST PROFITS OR COST OF COVER, OR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING DAMAGES ARISING FROM ANY TYPE OR MANNER OF COMMERCIAL, BUSINESS OR FINANCIAL LOSS, EVEN IF THE RABBET PARTIES HAD ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE KNOWLEDGE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE RABBET PARTIES’ TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE TOS OR YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE) THE SERVICE EXCEED THE GREATER OF FIFTY DOLLARS ($50) OR THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO RABBET FOR ACCESS TO THE PORTION OF THE SERVICE AT ISSUE WITHIN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE DATE ON WHICH THE APPLICABLE CLAIM AROSE.
(b) CERTAIN STATE LAWS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO YOU, SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE DISCLAIMERS, EXCLUSIONS, OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU, AND YOU MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.
23. INDEPENDENT ALLOCATIONS OF RISK
Each provision of the TOS that provides for a limitation of liability, disclaimer of warranties, or exclusion of damages represents an agreed allocation of the risks of the TOS between the parties. This allocation is reflected in the pricing offered by Rabbet to you and is an essential element of the basis of the bargain between the parties. Each of these provisions is severable and independent of all other provisions of the TOS, and each of these provisions shall apply even if the warranties in the TOS have failed of their essential purpose.
24. TERMINATION
(a) This TOS may be terminated as set forth any applicable provision of the TOS, and Rabbet further reserves the right to terminate the TOS and all rights granted to you under the TOS immediate, with or without notice to you, upon your breach of the TOS. To the extent that your access to the Service arises from a Services Agreement, such access shall terminate upon termination of the applicable Services Agreement.
(b) Upon termination of the TOS for any reason: (i) Rabbet, in its sole discretion, may remove and discard Your Content; and (ii) any provision that, by its terms, is intended to survive the expiration or termination of this TOS shall survive such expiration or termination.
25. GOVERNING LAW
The TOS shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the United States Federal Arbitration Act, other applicable federal laws and the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict of laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is specifically excluded from application to the TOS.
26. BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER
(a) ALL CLAIMS (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 1) SHALL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT, EXCEPT THAT YOU MAY ASSERT CLAIMS IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT (DEFINED FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE TOS AS A COURT OF LIMITED JURISDICTION THAT MAY ONLY HEAR CLAIMS NOT EXCEEDING $5,000) IF YOUR CLAIMS ARE WITHIN THE COURT’S JURISDICTION. THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS LIMITED.
(b) The arbitration shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its then-applicable Commercial Arbitration Rules or, as appropriate, its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The AAA’s rules are available at http://www.adr.org/. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees shall be governed by the AAA’s rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language by a single independent and neutral arbitrator. For any hearing conducted in person as part of the arbitration, you agree that such hearing shall be conducted in Austin, Texas or, if the Consumer Arbitration Rules apply, another location reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances, as determined by the arbitrator. The decision of the arbitrator on all matters relating to the Claim shall be final and binding. Judgment on the arbitral award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
(c) WE EACH AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 1) SHALL BE RESOLVED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, ARBITRATION OR OTHER SIMILAR PROCESS. IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION, WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND AGREE THAT SUCH CLAIM SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN AUSTIN, TEXAS. YOU HEREBY SUBMIT TO THE PERSONAL JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS AND WAIVE ANY OBJECTION ON THE GROUNDS OF VENUE, FORUM NON-CONVENIENS OR ANY SIMILAR GROUNDS WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUCH CLAIM.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, you and Rabbet may seek injunctive relief and any other equitable remedies from any court of competent jurisdiction to protect our intellectual property rights, whether in aid of, pending or independently of the resolution of any dispute pursuant to the arbitration procedures set forth in this Section 25.
27. LEGAL COMPLIANCE
You represent and warrant that you are not: (a) located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (b) listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties, including the Specially Designated Nationals List.

31. NOTICES AND CONSENTS
All notices, demands and other communications (“Notices”) to be given or delivered under or by reason of the provisions of the TOS shall be in writing and sent as set forth below:
If to Rabbet:
Rabbet, Attn: Legal Department, 3300 IH 35, Austin, TX 78705
If to You:
Via the email address or mailing address set forth in your Registration Data; text message to the mobile phone number set forth in your registration data; or in-app notices posted in a Mobile App or notices otherwise posted within the Service. You agree that notice delivered to you and consent obtained from you through any of the foregoing means satisfy all legal requirements specifying that Rabbet shall provide notice to you or obtain consent from you in writing, except where expressly prohibited by applicable law. If Rabbet sends you a Notice but you do not receive it because your Registration Data is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or if such Notice is blocked by your service provider or delivery otherwise fails for any reason beyond Rabbet’s reasonable control, Rabbet shall nevertheless be deemed to have effectively delivered such Notice to you.
32. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS
Except as set forth in Section 20(c), the relationship between you and Rabbet established by the TOS is solely that of independent contractors, and neither party is in any way the partner or agent of the other, nor is either party authorized or empowered to create or assume any obligation of any kind, implied or expressed, on behalf of the other party, without the express prior written consent of such other party.
33. GENERAL PROVISIONS
The TOS constitutes the entire agreement between you and Rabbet concerning your access to and use of the Service. It supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written negotiations and agreements between you and Rabbet with respect to such subject matter. The TOS may not be amended by you except in a writing executed by you and an authorized representative of Rabbet. For the purposes of the TOS: the words “such as,” “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation;” the word “or” is not exclusive; and the words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereto” and “hereunder” refer to the TOS as a whole. You may not assign or delegate any right or obligation under the TOS without the prior written consent of Rabbet. The failure of Rabbet to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the TOS shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of this TOS is held to be invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, then such provision shall be construed, limited, modified or, if necessary, severed to the extent necessary to eliminate its invalidity or unenforceability, without in any way affecting the remaining parts of the TOS. Any prevention of or delay in performance by Rabbet hereunder due to labor disputes, acts of god, governmental restrictions, enemy or hostile governmental action, fire or other casualty or other causes beyond its reasonable control shall excuse the performance of its obligations for a period equal to the duration of any such prevention or delay.
