By applying for the Services, you agree to the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement so please read this Agreement carefully.

This Agreement replaces all previous terms and conditions governing the Services but does not replace the Customer Cardholder Card Terms and the Permitted User Card Terms, which are separate agreements with the Issuer and which continue to apply to your Cards. Float may update or replace this Agreement at any time by posting an updated version to our website, and we may provide you with advance notice of certain significant changes to this Agreement.

As a condition to using the SaaS Services and the Charge Card Services, if applicable, you must agree to the Customer Cardholder Card Terms and you must ensure that each Permitted User is presented with and agrees to the Permitted User Card Terms.

8. PAD Authorization

THIS SECTION PROVIDES AUTHORIZATION TO DEBIT YOUR BANK ACCOUNTS FOR AMOUNTS YOU OWE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT INCLUDING LINKED ACCOUNTS AND OTHER ACCOUNTS. PLEASE READ IT THOROUGHLY.

1. You authorize Float, and any financial institution designated by Float, to issue and process pre-authorized debits (“PADs”) and debit and credit the bank account you have designated for such purpose (“Designated Account”) for: (i) in respect of the Charge Card Services, the full amount owing under each Periodic Statement on the due date set out on the Periodic Statement; (ii) Fees invoiced to you on the due date set out on the applicable invoice; (iii) any other amounts that may become due and payable under this Agreement, including any overdue amounts, interest, Fees and other charges, on the next regularly scheduled debit date; and (iv) in the event that this Agreement is terminated, all outstanding amounts will be debited on the termination date. In the event that we are unable to debit the Designated Account  for amounts described above we may debit other Linked Accounts or Other Accounts to satisfy such amounts. Except where required by applicable law or the NACHA Rules, you waive your right to receive pre-notification of the amounts of the PADs or any change in the amounts of the PADs and agree that you do not require advance notice of the amounts of PADs or any change in the amounts of the PADs before the debits are processed. Such waiver of notification is not applicable to any one-time or sporadic debits for which Float is required to obtain your authorization in accordance with Rule H1 of the Canadian Payments Association.
2. For transactions governed under Payments Canada regulations, this is a business PAD. You must promptly tell Float, in writing, of any change to the Designated Account. You have certain recourse rights if any PAD does not comply with this authorization. For example, you have the right to receive reimbursement for any PAD that is not authorized or is not consistent with this authorization. To obtain more information on your recourse rights, you may contact your financial institution or visit www.payments.ca. You may revoke this authorization at any time, upon providing 30 days’ notice, in writing, to Float or as Float may advise from time to time. You may obtain a sample cancellation form or further information on your right to cancel a PAD agreement at your financial institution, by contacting Float or by visiting www.payments.ca. This authorization applies only to the method of payment and you agree that cancellation of this authorization does not terminate or otherwise have any effect on any contract that exists between you and Float, including this Agreement.
3. For transactions governed under NACHA rules, both parties agree to be bound by NACHA Operating Rules as they pertain to these transactions. You acknowledge that the origination of ACH transactions to your account must comply with the provisions of U.S. law.  You agree not to dispute these scheduled transactions with your bank provided the transactions correspond to the terms indicated in this authorization.
4. You understand that this authorization will remain in effect until it is canceled in writing, and you agree to notify Float in writing of any changes in its account information or termination of this authorization at least 30 days prior to the next billing date. You acknowledge that any changes an authorized representative makes to account information via an online customer portal will be considered written notice of change and will constitute authorization to charge the new account in place of the account previously identified.
5. If the above noted payment dates fall on a weekend or holiday, you understand that the payments may be executed on the next business day. You understand that because these are electronic transactions, these funds may be withdrawn from your account as soon as the above noted transaction dates, and that you will have limited time to report and dispute errors.  In the case the transaction is returned for Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF) you understand that Float may at its discretion attempt to process the charge again within 30 days, and you agree to an additional charge for each attempt returned NSF, which will be initiated as a separate transaction from the authorized payment. You have certified that the provided business bank account is enabled for ACH transactions, and agree to reimburse Float for all penalties and fees incurred as a result of your bank rejecting ACH debits or credits as a result of the account not being properly configured for ACH transactions.

9. Beta Services

We may, but do not have to, make Beta Services available to you. Any Beta Services are provided to you AS IS and AS AVAILABLE, without any warranty. We may use any Feedback about the Services or Beta Services freely and without restriction. Except where specifically agreed to by us in writing, we will not compensate or credit you for Feedback you provide to us.

Fees will include foreign transaction and other fees.
2. Changes to the Fees: Float reserves the right to change the Fees and institute new charges upon providing not less than 30 days prior notice to you.
3. Invoicing: Float will prepare and send to the Customer, at the then-current contact information on file with Float, an invoice for any Fees that have become due and payable. Unless otherwise expressly stipulated in an invoice, Customer will pay all invoiced amounts on the 1st day of the month following the invoice date, but in any event within 30 calendar days of the invoice date. This process does not apply to Fees payable in connection with the Charge Card Services and set out on your Periodic Statement.
4. Disputed Invoices or Charges: If Customer believes Float has charged or invoiced Customer incorrectly, Customer must contact Float through though the SaaS Services or by contacting the Support Services contact set out in Section 5 no later than 45 days after having been charged by Float or receiving such invoice or Periodic Statement in which the error or problem appeared in order to request an adjustment or credit. In the event of a dispute, Customer will pay any undisputed amounts in accordance with the payment terms herein, and the parties will discuss the disputed amounts in good faith in order to resolve the dispute.
5. Late Payment: Customer may not withhold or setoff any amounts due under this Agreement. Float reserves the right to suspend Customer’s access to the Services until all due and undisputed amounts are paid in full. Any failure to pay the full amount owed to Float when required is a breach of this Agreement. You are responsible for all costs or expenses that we incur collecting amounts owed but not timely paid, including legal or collections fees. If a payment you make is returned to us for any reason, you must pay us an NSF fee of $125, and if the reason is due to insufficient funds in your Designated Account, you must immediately, and in any event within three business days, deposit sufficient funds into the Designated Account in order for us to collect the overdue payment. In addition to any other rights we may have under this Agreement or at law, late payments will incur interest at the rate of one and a half percent (1.5%) compounded monthly (19.56% annually), or the maximum legal rate (if less), plus all expenses of collection, until fully paid.
