Online Payments

The online payment services we offer are provided as a convenient way to make rental payments, but do not alter or modify the terms of your rental agreement with us. If the Platform is unavailable for any reason, you remain responsible for making timely payments on or before the scheduled due date. Payments received after the due date may be assessed a late fee in the amount specified in your rental agreement to the extent permitted by applicable law. If you use our online payment service, you must make the applicable payments in full. You may not use our online payment service to make partial payments. In the event your rental agreement expires for failure to make timely payments, you will be required to pay any outstanding reinstatement or late fees plus an amount sufficient to renew the lease on the previously established schedule prior to re-enrolling in our online payment services. If the applicable reinstatement period provided by applicable law has expired, online payment services may not be available to you and you may be required to contact us to process your payments.

Under the terms of your rental agreement, you are required to renew your agreement when due if you elect to retain the merchandise. In using online payment processing, it is your responsibility to ensure that sufficient funds are available to complete any online payments. You agree that you may be charged a returned item fee if sufficient funds are not available at the time of the scheduled payment. Contact your financial institution to determine if you will incur any additional charges for an online payment. If a transaction is refused by your financial institution for any reason, including insufficient funds, closed account, unauthorized account, or exceeding account limits, we  will not be able to process your payment and your rental agreement may not renew. Under the terms of your rental agreement, you may be subject to additional charges if your payment is rejected, reversed or refused by your financial institution. Upon completion of your rental agreement term or exercise of your early purchase option, please contact us to receive your ownership certificate.

Participation in online payment services is optional. You may change or terminate your enrollment elections at any time by logging on to your account. Likewise, we reserve the right to discontinue accepting online payments at any time, for any reason, without prior written notice. We may send notification of termination of these services at any time after the termination is effective.

 

One-Time Payments

By authorizing an online payment, you are authorizing us to make a one-time debit to the bank or card account you designate in the amount due for your selected agreements. If you utilize a third-party money transfer service or mobile application, your transaction may be subject to additional terms and conditions of such applications and may incur fees or charges not assessed by us. Upon completion of a payment, we will email you a receipt indicating the amount debited at your direction. Payments will be debited from your designated bank or card account on or after the date you elect to make the online payment. In the event that the online payment process requires a billing adjustment to the account, it will cancel the original withdrawal and establish a new withdrawal for the updated amount and/or payment date. If you need to update your card or bank account information at any time, you may update your banking information online by logging on to your account.

 

AutoPay

By enrolling in AutoPay, you are authorizing us to debit the bank or card account you designate each renewal period to automatically pay the amount due for each agreement you have enrolled. If you utilize a third-party money transfer service or mobile application, your transaction may be subject to additional terms and conditions of such applications and may incur fees or charges not assessed by us. Upon completion of each scheduled payment, we will email you a receipt indicating the amount and date of the payment that was automatically debited. Automatic payments in the amount owed for each agreement enrolled in AutoPay will be debited from your designated bank or card account on the date each renewal payment is due. In the event that the online payment process requires a billing adjustment to the account, it will cancel the withdrawal and establish a new withdrawal for the amount and/or payment date. If you need to update your checking or savings account information at any time, you may update your banking information online by logging on to your account.

To cancel an AutoPay payment, you will need to log in to your account and deselect the agreement at least one business day before the transaction is scheduled to occur. You may change or cancel scheduled payments up to one day before the scheduled payment date. Same day payments cannot be cancelled. You may opt out of AutoPay at any time; however changes may take up to one day to take effect. Your AutoPay program enrollment will remain active and in effect until you cancel or until an AutoPay scheduled payment is unsuccessful due to unavailability of funds for any reason. To cancel any AutoPay election or to update any account information, log in to your account. If an AutoPay scheduled payment is cancelled due to unavailability of funds, or at your election, the affected agreement(s) will no longer be enrolled in AutoPay and you will be required to contact us to make payment or log into your account and update your payment methods to provide another method of payment on or before the scheduled renewal date to avoid expiration of your agreement(s). In the event your agreement expires for failure to make a timely renewal payment, you will be required to pay any outstanding reinstatement/late fees plus an amount sufficient to renew the lease on the previously established schedule prior re-enrolling in AutoPay.

Governing Law

These Terms and your use of the Platform shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas, as applied between residents of that state entering into contracts to be performed wholly within the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

 

Disputes

Any dispute relating in any way to your visit to the Platform or to any services or products you purchase through the Platform must be submitted to confidential, binding arbitration in Dallas County, Texas. Arbitration under these Terms shall be conducted pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules then prevailing at the American Arbitration Association.  The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no arbitration under these Terms shall be joined to an arbitration involving any other party subject to these Terms, whether through class action proceedings or otherwise.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you have violated or threatened to violate our intellectual property rights, we may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in any state or federal court in Dallas County, Texas.  You hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non-conveniens with respect to, venue and jurisdiction in the state and federal courts of Dallas County, Texas.

YOU AGREE THAT REGARDLESS OF ANY STATUTE OR LAW TO THE CONTRARY, ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE PLATFORM, ANY SERVICE PROVIDED BY THE PLATFORM, OR THESE TERMS MUST BE FILED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION AROSE OR BE FOREVER BARRED.

 

Remedies

You acknowledge and agree that damages for any actual or threatened breach of these Terms would be inadequate, and that we are therefore entitled to seek specific performance, injunctive relief, or both, in addition to any other damages we may legally be entitled to recover.  We may also recover reasonable expenses of any dispute resolution or legal proceeding, including reasonable attorney’s fees and legal costs.  None of our rights or remedies shall be exclusive of any other, whether at law or in equity.

 

Miscellaneous Provisions

These Terms and the Other Terms and Policies constitute the entire agreement between you and us with respect to your access to and use of the Platform and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements between you and us, if any, regarding your access to and use of the Platform.  If any of the provisions of these Terms or the Other Terms and Policies are found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void, invalid or unenforceable, then that provision will be construed in a manner consistent with applicable laws to reflect, as nearly as possible, the original intentions of the parties, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.  Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms or any of the Other Terms and Policies shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.  

Nothing contained in these Terms or the Other Terms and Policies or your use of the Platform shall be construed to constitute either party as a partner, joint venture, employee or agent of the other party, nor shall either party hold itself out as such.  Neither party has any right or authority to incur, assume or create, in writing or otherwise, any warranty, liability or other obligation of any kind, express or implied, in the name of or on behalf of the other party, it being intended by both parties that each shall remain independent contractors responsible for its own actions.

We reserve the right at any time and from time to time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Platform or any goods or services provided therein with or without notice.  You agree that we will not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Platform or any goods or services.
