Secure Terms Of Service Agreement

Last Updated: January 27, 2021

This Terms of Service Agreement (the “Agreement”) is between Secure, Inc. (“Secure”, “we”, “us” or “our”) and any person or entity (“User”, “you” or “your”) that accesses or uses the Secure website located at securesave.com or any successor site (the “Site”), any Secure mobile application (“App”) or the products and services made available by Secure through or in connection with the Site and/or App (the Site, App and such products and services are referred to collectively as the “Services”). These Terms apply to any access or use of the Services, including without limitation, by those persons simply browsing the Site as well as those persons or entities that have created an account with Secure (including employers who have purchased a subscription for Services (“Employers”) and employees using features of the Services made available through a subscription purchased by their employers (“Employees”)).

THIS AGREEMENT INCLUDES A BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION THAT REQUIRES INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND SECURE AND CONTAINS A CLASS ACTION WAIVER. PLEASE REVIEW SECTION 12 BELOW FOR MORE INFORMATION.

  1. Acceptance of Agreement Terms. By signing an agreement or clicking a box indicating you agree to the terms of this Agreement, or by accessing (including by browsing the Site) or using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If you are agreeing to this Agreement on behalf of a business entity, you represent to Secure that you have authority to bind that business entity to this Agreement, and your agreement to this Agreement shall constitute the agreement of the business entity (and the terms “you” and “your” shall include the business entity). Additionally, you represent that you have reached the age of majority in the state or jurisdiction in which you reside. The Services are not intended for use by anyone under the age of 18.
  2. Services

    1. Services Descriptions. Secure provides a variety of Services. A description of the Services to which you have subscribed or enrolled will be provided, displayed, or otherwise made accessible to you at or before the time you subscribe or enroll, which may occur via a written ordering document or an electronic order or enrollment mechanism (an “Order”).
    2. Fees and Payment.

      1. Fees. Certain Services require the payment of fees and/or other charges. Where applicable, you agree to pay the fees and other charges for the Services to which you have subscribed as disclosed to you at the time you subscribe to the Services. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or an Order, payment obligations are non-cancelable and fees paid are non-refundable.
      2. Payment. If you have subscribed to fee-bearing Services, you will provide Secure with valid and updated credit card information or, if permitted by Secure, with a valid purchase order or alternative document. If you provide credit card information to Secure, you authorize Secure or its payment processor to charge such credit card for the applicable Services for the initial subscription term and any renewal subscription term(s). Such charges shall be made in advance, either annually or in accordance with any different billing frequency that may be indicated in an Order. If an Order specifies that payment will be by a method other than a credit card, Secure will invoice you in advance or otherwise in accordance with the relevant Order. Unless otherwise stated in an applicable Order, invoiced fees are due within 30 days following your receipt of the invoice. You are responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information to Secure and notifying Secure of any changes to such information.
      3. Fee Changes. Unless otherwise set forth in an Order, Secure reserves the right to change the fees for Services from time to time. Secure will notify you of any change to existing fees for Services to which you have subscribed at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of the fee change. If a fee change is not acceptable to you, you may cancel the applicable Services prior to the effective date of the fee change. Your continued use of the Services following the cancellation deadline constitutes your agreement to the fee change.
      4. Overdue Amounts. If any invoiced amount is not received by Secure by the due date, then without limiting Secure’s rights or remedies, such amount may accrue late interest at the rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower. If any amount owing by you under this or any other agreement for Services is 30 days or more overdue (or 10 or more days overdue in the case of amounts you have authorized Secure to charge to your credit card), Secure may, without limiting its other rights and remedies, accelerate your unpaid fee obligations under such agreements so that all such obligations become immediately due and payable, and suspend the applicable Services until such amounts are paid in full, provided that, other than for payment by credit card or direct debit where payment has been declined, Secure will provide you at least 10 days’ prior notice of the overdue amount before suspending the applicable Services.
      5. Payment Disputes. Secure will not exercise its rights under the “Overdue Amounts” section above if you have provided Secure with written notice disputing charges reasonably and in good faith and you are cooperating diligently to resolve the dispute.
      6. Taxes. All fees charged to you are exclusive of taxes. Except for those taxes based on Secure’s net income, you shall be responsible for all applicable taxes in connection with the subscribed Services, including, but not limited to, sales, use, excise, value-added, goods and services, consumption, and other similar taxes or duties. Should any payment for the Services be subject to withholding tax by any government, you agree to reimburse Secure for such withholding tax.
    3. Changes to Services. We reserve the right to enhance, upgrade, improve, modify or discontinue the Services, in whole or in part, as we deem appropriate and in our discretion. We will not materially reduce the core features or functionality of, or discontinue, any Services to which you have subscribed during the term of your subscription unless we provide you with prior notice. If we discontinue the Services or materially reduce the core features or functionality of the Services to which you have subscribed, you may terminate your subscription to such Services and Secure will provide you with a pro rata refund of any prepaid, unused fees applicable to the period following the date on which the Services were discontinued or the core features or functionality were reduced.

You should review this Agreement periodically for any changes. All changes shall be effective upon posting, and we will revise the “Last Updated” date above on the date any revised version of this Agreement becomes effective.

You agree to provide accurate, current and complete information (such as, but not limited to, your name, mailing address, date of birth, social security number, tax identification number and email address) as may be prompted by any User Account registration form available through the Services or otherwise requested by Secure (any such information, “Account Information”). For any individual using the Services, Secure may also ask for a copy of User’s driver’s license or other government-issued identifying documents. User authorizes Secure to obtain, verify, and store information that identifies an individual who creates an Account, is the intended user of an Account, or who accesses the Services. You represent that you are the legal owner of, and that you are authorized to provide Secure with, all Account Information. If any of your Account Information changes, you agree that you will update this information as soon as possible. Secure may, in its discretion, decline to offer the Services for any reason, including User’s failure to provide requested Account Information, if Secure is unable to verify any Account Information, and/or for other lawful business reasons. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your User Account login information and are responsible for all activities that occur under your User Account. If you believe or have reason to believe that any of your Account Information, including your user identification and/or password, has been compromised, or that another person is accessing your User Account without your authorization, you agree to notify Secure as soon as possible at support@com. Secure will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the above requirements.

    1. User Content. “User Content” means any information, data, text, content, photos, images, graphics, music, and other materials that you provide or cause to be provided to or through the Services by any means (including, without limitation, by posting, uploading, emailing, or submission through the Site). Secure does not obtain any ownership rights in User Content. However, by providing or causing the provision of User Content to or through the Services, you grant (and you warrant that you have all rights necessary to grant) to Secure a non-exclusive, transferable, sublicensable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, copy, modify, create derivative works based upon, publicly display, publicly perform, and distribute User Content for use in connection with the Services. You understand and agree that you are solely responsible for your User Content. You represent and warrant to Secure that your User Content and Secure’s use of your User Content as contemplated under this Agreement will not misappropriate or infringe the copyright, trademark rights, moral rights, right of publicity, intellectual property or proprietary rights or other rights of any third party. Although Secure has no obligation to screen, edit or monitor User Content, Secure may restrict, delete or remove User Content at any time and for any reason, in its sole discretion. THE SERVICES ARE NOT AN INFORMATION STORAGE OR BACKUP SERVICE AND YOU AGREE THAT YOU WILL NOT RELY ON THE SERVICES FOR THE PURPOSES OF USER CONTENT STORAGE OR BACKUP. SECURE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF OR DAMAGE TO USER CONTENT.
    2. Secure Content. “Secure Content” means any information, data, text, content, photos, images, graphics, music, and other materials made accessible on or provided through the Services, excluding User Content.

      2. Upon termination of your subscription or termination of this Agreement, all rights and licenses granted to you to access and use the terminated Services will automatically terminate; provided, however, that unless you are in material breach of this Agreement, Secure will, for up to thirty (30) days following termination, provide you with the ability to access, view and download information that was available in your User Account at the time of termination.

THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS APPLY EVEN IF A LIMITED REMEDY IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
  11. Warranty Disclaimers.

    1. EXCEPT FOR EXPRESS WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN APPLICABLE ADDITIONAL TERMS, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS,” “AS AVAILABLE” AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND ANY WARRANTIES IMPLIED BY ANY COURSE OF PERFORMANCE OR USAGE OF TRADE, ALL OF WHICH ARE DISCLAIMED BY SECURE. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURE PARTIES MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR GUARANTEES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED: (A) REGARDING THE ACCURACY, ADEQUACY, TIMELINESS, RELIABILITY, COMPLETENESS, OR USEFULNESS OF THE SERVICES OR ANY OF THE SECURE CONTENT; (B) THAT THE SERVICES WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS; (C) ARE FREE OF VIRUSES, BUGS, DEFECTS, OR ERRORS; OR (D) THAT ERRORS IN THE SERVICES WILL BE CORRECTED.

BEFORE YOU MAKE ANY DECISIONS OR IMPLEMENT ANY FINANCIAL STRATEGY, YOU SHOULD OBTAIN ADVICE FROM YOUR ACCOUNTANT OR OTHER FINANCIAL ADVISERS WHO ARE AWARE OF YOUR INDIVIDUAL CIRCUMSTANCES
    3. WE MAINTAIN PHYSICAL, ELECTRONIC, AND PROCEDURAL SAFEGUARDS REASONABLY DESIGNED TO PROTECT THE SERVICES.

  12. Agreement to Arbitrate; Dispute Resolution.

    PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.

    • Agreement to Arbitrate. Unless otherwise set forth in a separate agreement between you and Secure which expressly indicates that this Section 12 does not apply, any dispute or claim arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement or the Services that cannot be resolved directly between you and Secure shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA” ) in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules and/or other AAA arbitration rules determined to be applicable by the AAA (collectively, the “AAA Rules“) then in effect, except as modified by this Agreement to Arbitrate. The AAA Rules are available at org. If you are accessing Secure through an employer sponsored plan, you acknowledge and agree that your employer is a third-party beneficiary of this agreement to arbitrate. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WITHOUT THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL.
    • Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution. Except as set forth herein, prior to initiating an arbitration, you and Secure each agree to notify the other party of any dispute and to engage in good faith negotiations to reach an informal resolution of the dispute. A notification by you shall be made by emailing Secure at support@securesave.com. A notification by Secure will be made by emailing you at the email address you have provided to Secure. If after a good faith effort to negotiate for a minimum of thirty (30) days, either party believes the dispute cannot be resolved informally, it will notify the other party via email (at the email addresses indicated above) prior to initiating arbitration. To initiate arbitration, the initiating party must file a claim with the AAA and provide the other party with the written Demand for Arbitration available at adr.org, as specified in the AAA Rules.
    • Exceptions. You and Secure agree that the following disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal dispute resolution and binding arbitration and will be brought in a judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction: (i) any claim related to actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights; (ii) any claim seeking emergency injunctive relief based on exigent circumstances (e.g., imminent danger or commission of a crime, hacking, cyber-attack); or (iii) any claim which may be brought as an individual action in a small claims court having applicable jurisdiction.
    • Arbitration Procedures.

      • The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law govern the interpretation and enforcement of the agreement to arbitrate in this Agreement. There is no judge or jury in arbitration and court review of an arbitration award is limited, but an arbitrator can award an individual the same damages and relief as a court and must apply and follow the terms of this Agreement to Arbitrate as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to arbitrability, the scope of enforceability of this agreement to arbitrate or the interpretation of the Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief section below, shall be for a court of competent jurisdiction to decide.
      • The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator. If you and Secure cannot agree on who the single arbitrator should be, then the AAA shall appoint an arbitrator. Secure agrees that any required arbitration hearing may be conducted, at your option: (a) in the county where you reside; (b) in King County, Washington; (c) in any other location to which you and Secure both agree; (d) via phone or video conference; or (e) for any claim or counterclaim under $10,000, solely through the submission of documents to the arbitrator. The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with applicable law, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
      • Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules, unless otherwise stated in this agreement to arbitrate. If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, at your request, Secure will pay all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration. Any request for payment of fees by Secure should be submitted by mail to the AAA along with your Demand for Arbitration and Secure will make arrangements to pay all necessary fees directly to the AAA. If the arbitrator determines that the claim(s) you assert in the arbitration are frivolous, you agree to reimburse Secure for all fees associated with the arbitration paid by Secure on your behalf that you otherwise would be obligated to pay under the AAA Rules.
    • Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief. YOU AND SECURE EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND SECURE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION, YOU AND SECURE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND AGREE TO PROCEED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.
    • Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this agreement to arbitrate by sending written notice of your decision to opt out within 30 days after first becoming subject to this agreement to arbitrate. Your notice must include an unequivocal statement that you wish to opt out of this agreement to arbitrate, your name and address, the email address you have provided to Secure, or if you have not previously provided an email address to Secure, an email address at which you can be reached. The notice must be sent to Secure at support@com. If you opt out of this agreement to arbitrate, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you.
  13. Electronic Communications; SMS Messages

You agree to promptly update your User Account if your e-mail address or other information changes. Although we reserve the right to provide Communications in paper format at any time, you agree that we are under no obligation to do so. All Communications in either electronic or paper format will be considered to be “in writing.” You should print a paper copy of any electronic Communication that is important to you and retain the copy for your records.

You represent and warrant to Secure that each telephone number you have provided to us is your telephone number and not someone else’s, and that you are permitted to receive calls and text messages at the telephone number. You agree to promptly notify Secure when and if you stop using a telephone number previously provided to us. Secure and our agents, representatives, affiliates and anyone calling on our behalf may use such means of communication described in this section even if you will incur costs to receive such phone messages or text messages. Standard message and data rates may apply to all SMS messages (including text messages). We may modify or terminate our SMS messaging services from time to time, for any reason, and without notice, including the right to terminate SMS messaging with or without notice, without liability to you.
    • Withdrawal of Consent to SMS Communications. If you wish to withdraw your consent to receive SMS messages, you may opt-out of receiving SMS from us by replying ‘STOP’ to any message you receive from us. Upon receipt of your ‘STOP’ message, we will send you a SMS message to confirm that you have been unsubscribed. Following the confirmation message, you will no longer receive any further SMS messages from Secure unless you subsequently elect to begin receiving SMS messages again. If you need any assistance, you can always text “HELP” to any message you receive from us or email us at support@securesave.com.

Additional Terms Applicable to Secure Payroll Savings Program

The following Additional Terms apply to your use of Secure Payroll Savings Program:

  1. General Description of Service. The Secure Payroll Savings Program is designed to help Employees save money from their paycheck automatically. An Employer that wishes to offer the Secure Payroll Savings Program to its Employees must first subscribe to the service, configure the Employer’s savings program options (as further described in Section 2, below) and invite eligible Employees. Eligible Employees wishing to participate may accept an invitation, create a User Account, and make savings elections (such as specifying the rate of savings). Employers may make changes to the configuration of their savings program, and Employees may increase or decrease the rate of savings, stop savings or request a transfer of funds, in each case through the Employer’s Secure Payroll Savings application (the “Employer Application”).
  2. Employer Set-Up and Responsibilities

    1. After an Employer subscribes to the Secure Payroll Savings Programe, the Employer will be required to provide Secure with, update and maintain (through the Employer Application) during the term of the subscription, certain information, including the following: (a) Employer’s company and contact information; (b) Employer’s bank account information; (c) Employer payroll software/service information; (d) participation, matching (if applicable) and other applicable Employer rules and policies; (e) eligible Employee information; (f) authorized administrative user information; and (g) such other information as Secure may reasonably require from time to time to provide the Secure Payroll Savings Program to Employer (collectively, “Employer Information”).
    2. Employer is solely responsible for the accuracy of all Employer Information it provides or approves (whether provided directly or through the Employer Application), and Employer is solely responsible for any claims and liabilities, including but not limited to IRS penalties and/or interest, other penalties and/or interest, and or claims by Employees, arising from the failure to timely provide and maintain accurate and complete Employer Information at all times. Employer waives and releases any claim against Secure arising out of any errors or omissions in the Employer Information which Employer has not corrected or has not requested Secure to correct. Secure is not responsible for verifying the accuracy of any Employer Information that Employer provides to Secure.
    3. Each Employer using the Secure Payroll Savings Program represents and warrants that the Employer has completed and retained a Form I-9 to verify the identity and employment authorization of each Employee that Employer elects to make eligible for participation in the Secure Payroll Savings Program.
  3. Employee’s Set-Up and Responsibilities

    1. An eligible Employee will receive an invitation from their Employer to participate in the Secure Payroll Savings Program. After accepting an invitation, the Employee will be required to provide Secure with, and update and maintain (through the Employer Application) during the term of Employee’s participation, certain information, including the following: (a) Employee’s contact information; (b) Employee’s Bank Account information; (c) Employee’s elections regarding the rate of savings; and (d) such other information as Secure may reasonably require from time to time to provide the Secure Payroll Savings Program to Employee. Employee acknowledges and agrees that: (x) changes to Employee’s savings plan must be requested sufficiently in advance of Employee’s payroll date (as determined by Employer) in order to become effective, and that changes made after such time may not become effective until the next payroll date; and (y) requested changes may be subject to Employer’s approval prior to implementation.
    2. An Employee enrolling in the Secure Payroll Savings Program is required to have an account in Employee’s name at a United States-based depository financial institution (“Employee’s Bank Account”) and to link Employee’s Bank Account to Employee’s User Account. Employee will be required to provide information necessary for Secure to validate Employee’s Bank Account, including but not limited to the bank name, bank address, bank account number and routing number. Secure may decline to allow enrollment in the Secure Payroll Savings if Secure is unable to validate Employee’s Bank Account. If Employee’s Bank Account is a joint account, Employee represents and warrants that Employee has the authority to (a) bind all other account holders; and (b) enter into this Agreement independently of all absent account holders. Employee agrees that Employee will indemnify and hold Secure harmless from any claims by any other person holding an ownership interest in Employee’s Bank Account. Employee is solely responsible for any fees and charges imposed by Employee’s bank or financial institution on authorized transactions made pursuant to this Agreement.
  4. Secure Custodial Accounts.

    1. In accordance with Employee’s elections, and in coordination with Employee’s Employer, Secure will transfer the amount of funds designated by Employee from Employee’s paycheck to one or more custodial accounts Secure maintains for the benefit of Secure Payroll Savings Program participants at one or more banks (currently Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.) (each a “Custodial Account”). Secure represents and warrants that all Custodial Accounts will be maintained at a depository institution that is a member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). All funds transferred on behalf of an Employee are referred to as “Employee’s Savings.” Employee’s Savings are held apart from Secure’s corporate funds, and Secure will neither use these amounts for Secure’s operating expenses or any other corporate purposes nor will we make these amounts available to our creditors in the event of bankruptcy except as required by applicable law or court order.

    FDIC pass-through insurance helps protect Employees against the risk of loss of Employee’s Savings should the FDIC-insured bank where Secure deposits Employee’s Savings fail. If one of the banks in which Secure has deposited Employee’s Savings fails, Employee’s funds would be eligible to be insured by the FDIC up to the standard maximum deposit insurance amount (currently $250,000). This limit applies per depositor and ownership capacity, not per account.  When determining an Employee’s coverage limit, the FDIC will add the Employee’s Savings that Secure has placed in a Custodial Account to any amounts Employee holds in the same ownership capacity in other accounts at the same bank. For more information, please visit https://edie.fdic.gov/.

    FDIC pass-through insurance does not protect Employee against the risk of Secure’s insolvency. Secure believes that, in the unlikely event of Secure’s insolvency, funds that Secure has on deposit in a Custodial Account for the benefit of Secure Payroll Savings Program participants should not be included in Secure’s bankruptcy estate and should be protected from claims by Secure’s creditors. Additionally, even if Employee Savings (whether held by us or held in a Custodial Account) are eligible for FDIC pass-through insurance and may be protected from claims by Secure’s creditors in the unlikely event of Secure’s insolvency, it is possible that Employee will not have access to those funds while court or other legal proceedings to determine ownership of the funds are ongoing.

    • Secure will serve as the recordkeeper for the Custodial Accounts and will provide certain administrative services including: (a) tracking Employee eligibility based on Employer’s instructions; (b) providing Employees with online access to their Employee’s Savings balances and transaction history; (c) processing transactions, including deposits and transfers; (d) generating statements and reports; and (e) providing customer support.
  5. Transfers.

    1. All Employee’s Savings will remain in a Secure Custodial Account until Employee instructs Secure to transfer any or all of Employee’s Savings from the Secure Custodial Account by submitting a request within the App, or a transfer is otherwise made as described below. If Employee does not have sufficient available funds in Employee’s Savings to cover the amount of the requested transfer, the request for the transfer will be declined. We may also transfer funds from Employee’s Savings to Employee’s Bank Account with or without notice to Employee upon the termination of this Agreement or the termination of Employee’s enrollment in the Secure Payroll Savings Service. If Employee’s Bank Account is closed or Secure is otherwise unable to transfer the funds in Employee’s Savings to Employee’s Bank Account, we will send Employee a check for the amount of the funds to Employee at the last-known street address for Employee in our records.
    2. By enrolling in the Secure Payroll Savings Program, Employee authorizes Secure to deduct the amounts designated by Employee from Employee’s paycheck on each applicable payday and to transfer such amounts to a Secure Custodial Account. Additionally, Employee authorizes Secure to electronically credit Employee’s Bank Account when Employee requests a transfer of Employee’s Savings from a Custodial Account to Employee’s Bank Account. Any changes that an Employee makes to Employee’s savings elections, including starting or stopping savings and increasing or decreasing the rate of savings, must be made prior to any deadlines for communicating such changes set by Employee’s Employer.
    3. The number of transfers that may be made within a certain period of time and the total dollar value of transfers, both individually and in the aggregate over a certain period of time, may be subject to limitations as communicated to you by Secure from time to time.
  6. Termination of Employment with Employer; Employer Termination of Subscription. If an Employee participating in the Secure Payroll Savings Program is terminated by or discontinues employment with their Employer, or an Employer terminates its subscription to the Secure Payroll Savings Program, Employee will continue to have access to the Secure Payroll Savings Program. Any Employer-provided benefits, such as but not limited to Employer matching, will terminate following termination of employment or termination of Employer’s subscription. Employee will be provided notice of any fees, charges, or program changes or limitations which may become applicable to Employee following a termination of employment or an Employer’s termination of its subscription in advance of any fees, charges, changes or limitations becoming effective.
  7. Unclaimed Funds. If Employee has enrolled in the Secure Payroll Savings Program and does not access or otherwise use the Services for a certain period of time, or if we are unable to locate Employee following a termination of this Agreement or Employer’s termination of a subscription to the Secure Payroll Savings Program, applicable law may require us to report Employee’s Savings held in Custodial Accounts as unclaimed property. If this occurs, we may try to locate the Employee at the Employee’s last-known address shown in our records. If we are unable to locate the Employee, we may be required to deliver mployee’s Savings to the applicable state as unclaimed property. The applicable period of time to report and deliver funds to a state varies by state, but is typically between two and five years.
  8. Miscellaneous Terms.

    • You understand and agree that the initiation and transmission of each debit and credit will be subject to, and made in accordance with, U.S. law and the Operating Rules of the National Automated Clearing House Association (“NACHA”).
    • You acknowledge that the electronic authorization contained in this Section represents your written authorization for ACH transactions as provided herein and will remain in full force and effect until you notify Secure that you wish to revoke this authorization by contacting us via the Employer Application or via email at support@com.
