5.5 Authorized User Eligibility and Consents.

Prior to distributing any Card to an Authorized User, you shall ensure that each Authorized User (i) is legally authorized to work in the United States and at least 18 years of age (or older if residing in a state where the majority age is older); and provides, or agrees that the Business Administrator may provide, all requested information, such as the Authorized User’s name, email address, and such other information as we may request from time to time (collectively, “User Information”).

You further agree to notify us promptly and in writing of changes to any User Information. When the Business Administrator requests that we revoke the permission of any Authorized User as described in Section 5.6, that Authorized User will no longer be able to use any Card in their possession once such request has been acted on. We are entitled to assume that Account Owner’s business records relating to each Sub-Account are true and correct at all times.

5.6 Revocation of Authorized User Privileges.

You must notify us at 150 California Street, Suite 1025, San Francisco, CA 94111, or via e-mail at support@gocariq.com to revoke permission for any Business Administrator to administer the Card Account. Such revocation will be effective once we have processed the request, which may take a reasonable amount of time.

5.9 Card Account.

You acknowledge and agree that the value available in your Card Account is limited to the funds that have been added to your Card Account as described by the funding process as described in Section 5.3 (Funding of the Card Account). You will not receive any interest on the funds in your Card Account.

5.10 Using Your Card.

The Business Administrator or its agent must authorize every vehicle to transact before a Card is assigned to it and a related Sub-Account is created.

5.11 Fees.

There are no fees associated with the use of your Card. Please refer to your agreement with Car IQ for information on fees associated with your use of the Car IQ Vehicle Payment Program.

5.12 Lost or Stolen Card or Assigned Vehicle.

The Card Account is a commercial Card Account and does not provide consumer protections for lost or stolen Card Accounts or unauthorized transactions. Treat the Card Account like cash. Until the Business Administrator or Authorized User reports a Card as lost or stolen or reports an unauthorized transaction on a Card Account, Account Owner is fully responsible for all transactions, even if the Card is lost, stolen or used for unauthorized transactions. Contact Customer Service at (510) 560-5006 IMMEDIATELY if the Business Administrator or an Authorized User believes: (a) a Card or its assigned vehicle has been lost or stolen, (b) someone has gained unauthorized access to any Access Information, or (c) someone has transferred or may transfer funds from the Card Account without the Business Administrator’s or Authorized User’s permission. Reporting a lost or stolen Card or vehicle or unauthorized transactions through support@gocariq.com or by logging into the Website to deactivate the Card is the best way to minimize possible losses. Unless we have authorized a transaction after a Card Account is blocked (See Section 5.27 – Our Liability to Account Owner), Account Owner is responsible for all unauthorized transactions initiated and fees incurred from the unauthorized use of a Card Account. Failure to promptly notify us could result in the Account Owner losing ALL of the money in the Card Account.

5.13 Using the Card.

The Card Account may not be used for ATM cash withdrawals or cash back at the point-of-sale and may not be used for business payroll payments. An Authorized User may use your Card to make purchases at any participating merchant that accepts Visa, Mastercard, or Discover debit cards or debit cards of other networks in which the Bank participates, subject to the available Card Account balance, the transaction limits and transaction restrictions outlined below, and the other terms and condition of this Agreement. Each time an Authorized User uses the Card, you authorize us to reduce the value available in your Card Account by the amount of the transaction and any applicable fees. An Authorized User is not allowed to exceed the amount of the available funds in your Card Account through an individual transaction or a series of transactions. Nevertheless, if a transaction exceeds the amount of available funds in your Card Account, you will be fully liable to us for the full amount of the transaction and any applicable fees. We may refuse to process a transaction, or temporarily “freeze” a Card Account and attempt to contact the Business Administrator if we notice transactions that are unusual or appear suspicious, or use of the Card Account that are not consistent with its intended use.

5.14 Merchant Holds on Available Funds.

When an Authorized User uses the Card or Card number to initiate a transaction at certain merchant locations such as hotels, restaurants and gas stations, where the final purchase amount is unknown at the time of authorization, a hold may be placed on the available funds in the Card Account for an amount equal to or in excess of the final transaction amount. The funds subject to the hold will not be available to the Account Owner or Authorized User for any other purpose until the merchant sends us the final transaction amount. Once we receive the final transaction amount, it may take up to seven days for the hold to be removed. During that period, the Account Owner and Authorized User will not have access to the funds subject to the hold.

5.15 Transaction Limits.

The maximum amount that can be spent using your Card Account limited to lower of: (a) the limits set by the Business Administrator and (b) limits set forth by the Bank. The Bank’s limits are: (1) maximum amount that can be spent using your Card Account is $10,000 per day, (2) the maximum amount that can be spent using your Card Account in any thirty-day period is $30,000, (3) the maximum amount that can be loaded to your Card Account is $10,000 per day, and (4) the maximum amount that can be loaded to your Card Account in any thirty-day period is $30,000. In order to protect your Card Account, we may temporarily impose limits on the dollar amount, number, and type of transactions performed using your Card and your Card Account. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we reserve the right to: (a) change the transaction limits; (b) limit, block, or place a hold on certain types of transfers or transactions: and (c) limit, suspend, or block transfers from particular persons, entities, or Card Accounts.

5.16 Transaction Restrictions.

You may not use your Card for online gambling or illegal transactions. The Business Administrator may restrict transactions based on Merchant Category Code or Merchant ID. We may refuse to process any transaction we believe violates the terms of this Agreement.

5.17 Responsibility for Authorized Transactions.

You are responsible for all transactions initiated and fees incurred by use of a Card Account. If the Business Administrator or an Authorized User permits another person to have access to a Card Account, we will treat this as if the Business Administrator has authorized such person to use the Card Account, and you will be liable for all transactions and fees incurred by such person, even if they exceed the authorization granted. Account Owner will further be responsible for any transactions made and any fees incurred by the Authorized User even if the Authorized User exceeds the scope of the authority you have granted to them. If the Business Administrator wants to withdraw permission for an Authorized User to use a Card, then transactions made with the Card will be considered unauthorized only after the Business Administrator notifies us that the person is no longer authorized to use the Card Account.

5.18 Card Account Balance.

Business Administrator is responsible for knowing the amount of available funds in the Card Account and ensuring there are sufficient funds to cover daily transactions by the Authorized Users in the Card Account. If there are not sufficient funds in the Card Account to cover a transaction amount, the transaction will be declined. If an Authorized User does not have sufficient funds in the Card Account, they can request that the merchant charge a part of the purchase to the Card Account and pay the remaining amount with cash or another Card Account. These are called “split transactions.” Some merchants do not allow cardholders to conduct split transactions. You acknowledge and agree that the funds available to perform transactions are limited to the available funds that have been added to the Card Account and are not subject to hold. Neither you nor any of your Authorized Users may use any funds added to the Card Account in error. Any transaction that could create a negative balance for the Card Account is not permitted, but may occur in limited circumstances. Adjustments may be made to the Card Account to reverse an error, reflect a merchant adjustment, or resolve a dispute regarding a transaction posted to the Card Account. These processing and adjustment entries could cause your Card Account to have a negative balance. If a Card Account has a negative balance, you agree: (a) that the balance of Card Account can be adjusted to reflect that amount; (b) that we may automatically apply any subsequent deposits to the Card Account to satisfy the negative balance and (c) to pay us on demand by a personal check, money order, or other payment method authorized by us for the amount of the negative balance. If no future funds are added to the Card Account, we may send you a notice explaining the reason for the adjustment and requesting payment by a personal check, money order, or other payment method to satisfy the negative balance. Payments should be mailed to us at the address provided below or the address stated in the applicable notice.

5.19 Transaction History.

The Business Administrator may obtain information about the available funds in the Card Account and a 60-day history of the Card Account transactions on the Website

5.20 Account Alerts.

If the Business Administrator provides an email address to us, we will send the Business Administrator important notices via email about the Card Account. In addition, if the Business Administrator provides a mobile phone number or other text message address to us, we will assume that you have obtained all required express consent of such persons to receive text messages relating to the Card Account at that number or address and you further accept all legal responsibility for maintaining such consent. The Business Administrator may change the frequency of notifications at any time by updating their notification setting on the Website. Third-party data and message fees may apply.

5.21 Transactions in Foreign Currencies.

If an Authorized User makes a purchase using your Card in a currency other than in U.S. dollars, the amount deducted from the available funds in the Card Account will be converted by Visa into U.S. dollars. The applicable exchange rate will be selected Visa from the range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the applicable central processing date, which may vary from the rate Visa itself receives or the government-mandated rate. The exchange rate used on the central processing date may be different than the rate that was in effect on the date you performed the transaction.

5.22 Receipts.

An Authorized User should get a receipt for each Card transaction and you agree to retain, verify, and reconcile your Card transactions against those receipts.

5.23 Refunds and Disputes.

An Authorized User will not receive cash refunds for Card transactions. If a merchant gives an Authorized User a credit for merchandise returns or adjustments, the merchant may do so by processing a credit adjustment, which we will credit to the available funds in your Card Account. We are not responsible for the delivery, quality, safety, legality, or any other aspects of goods or services that you purchase with your Card. All such disputes must be addressed and handled directly with the merchant from whom those goods or services were purchased.

5.24 Confidentiality.

The privacy and security of non-public personal information is very important to us. We safeguard the information we collect regarding the employees and agents of our business customers in a manner consistent with how we safeguard customer information. You agree that we. may disclose information to third parties about the Business Administrator and Authorized Users, your Card Account, and Card transactions: (a) to effect, administer, or enforce a transaction requested or authorized by you; (b) with Account Owner’s, Business Administrator’s, or relevant Authorized User’s consent or in accordance with our Privacy Policy; (c) to protect against or prevent actual or potential fraud, unauthorized transactions, or other liability; and (d) to comply with government agency or court orders; (e) as permitted and required by applicable law.

5.25 Replacement Cards.

All Cards have an expiration date. If there is a positive balance of funds in your Card Account upon expiration of your Card and your Card Account is in good standing, we may issue you a new Card. We may also issue you a new Card when the Card expires even if you have no funds in your Card Account.

5.26 Our Liability to Account Owner.

If we do not complete an electronic fund transfer to or from a Card Account on time or in the correct amount according to these Terms, we may be liable to you for the losses or damages. However, there are some exceptions. We will not be liable if: (a) through no fault of ours, you do not have enough available funds in the Card Account to perform a requested transaction; (b) circumstances beyond our reasonable control (such as fire, flood, water damage, power failure, strike, labor dispute, computer breakdown, telephone line disruption, or natural disaster) prevent or delay the transfer despite reasonable precautions taken by us; (c) the system, or point-of-sale terminal was not working properly and the Business Administrator or the Authorized User knew about the problem when the subject transaction was initiated; (d) the funds in the Card Account are subject to legal process or are otherwise not available for transactions; (e) the merchant refuses to accept a Card; (f) if access to a Card Account has been blocked after the Business Administrator or Authorized User reported a Card lost or stolen; or (g) if we have reason to believe the transaction is unauthorized.

5.27 Errors or Questions About Your Card Account Transactions.

Call Customer Service at (510) 560-5006, or email us at support@gocariq.com as soon as you think an error has occurred involving your Card Account. We must hear from you no later than 60 days after the earlier of the date you electronically accessed your Card Account, if the error could be viewed in your electronic transaction history, or the date we sent the FIRST written transaction history on which the error appeared. When you send us notice of an error involving your Card Account, you will need to tell us: (a) Account Owner’s name, your name; (b) why you believe there is an error and the dollar amount involved; and (c) approximately when the error took place. We will review the information submitted in a commercially reasonable manner, but given that the Car IQ Vehicle Payment Card Program implements a commercial product, you are not entitled to and we are not obligated to follow the requirements or obligations of the Electronic Funds Transfer Act and Regulation E, which only apply to consumer transfers.

5.38 DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION.

For any and all controversies, disputes, demands, claims, or causes of action between Account Owner and us (including the interpretation and scope of this Section 5.39 and the arbitrability of the controversy, dispute, demand, claim, or cause of action) relating to the Program, Card Accounts, or these Terms (as well as any related or prior agreement that Account Owner may have had with us), Account Owner and we agree to resolve any such controversy, dispute, demand, claim, or cause of action exclusively through binding and confidential arbitration and the terms of this Section 5.39. The arbitration will take place in the federal judicial district located in the borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, or in the alternative, may be conducted electronically at your request. As used in this Section, “we” and “us” mean Bank and its subsidiaries, affiliates, predecessors, successors, and assigns and all of its and their respective employees, officers, directors, agents, and representatives. In addition, “we” and “us” includes any third party providing any product, service, or benefit in connection with the Card Accounts or these Terms (as well as any related or prior agreement that Account Owner may have had with us) if such third party is named as a co-party with us in any controversy, dispute, demand, claim, or cause of action subject to this Section.

Arbitration will be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and not any state arbitration law. The arbitration will be conducted before one commercial arbitrator from the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) with substantial experience in resolving commercial contract disputes. As modified by these Terms, and unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties in writing, the arbitration will be governed by the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules and, if the arbitrator deems them applicable, the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, the “Rules and Procedures”). Notwithstanding this agreement to arbitrate, either party may seek emergency equitable relief in federal court if it has jurisdiction or, if it does not, in a state court located in the federal judicial district of Account Owner’s principal place of business residence in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration, and each party hereby agrees to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the courts located within the federal judicial district of Account Owner’s principal place of business for such purpose. A request for interim measures will not be deemed a waiver of the obligation to arbitrate.

Account Owner agrees to the following in connection with any arbitration: (a) no class or similar group arbitration will be permitted; (b) the arbitration will be confidential, and neither Account Owner nor we may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement of the arbitration award; (c) subject to Section 5.37 (Limitation of Liability), the arbitrator may award any individual relief or individual remedies that are expressly permitted by applicable law; and (d) each party will pay its own attorneys’ fees and expenses, unless there is a statutory provision that requires the prevailing party to be paid its fees and litigation expenses and the arbitrator awards such attorneys’ fees and expenses to the prevailing party, and, in such instance, the fees and costs awarded will be determined by the applicable law.

Account Owner understands and agrees that, by agreeing to these Terms:

  • YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO HAVE A TRIAL BY JURY; and
