We may inspect your ServiceLive Wallet for any reason, including without limitation to investigate any alleged violation of this Agreement or any third-party complaints.

This authorization will apply to the funds of a Buyer, User and/or a Provider User. We will have no liability for taking such action, which may result in other items going unpaid.
- Your Transactions
3.1 Authorization. You authorize us to debit your ServiceLive Bucks Balance to process payment transactions that you authorize and collect any fees or amounts that may be owed under this Agreement. In the event there is an error in the processing of any transaction, you authorize us to initiate debit or credit entries to your ServiceLive Bucks Balance or Bank Account, as applicable, to correct such error, provided that any such correction is made in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. If we are unable to debit the Bank Account you select for any reason, you authorize us to resubmit the debit, plus any applicable fees, to any other Bank Account or payment instrument that you have on file with us (or, in the case of any fees that are owed under this Agreement, to deduct such amounts from your ServiceLive Bucks Balance or Bank Account or charge any payment instrument in you ServiceLive Wallet). Your authorizations will remain in full force and effect while you maintain your ServiceLive Bucks Balance with us and for any Bank Account listed in your ServiceLive Wallet.
3.2 Funding Sources.
3.2.1 ACH Debit Transactions. You may fund your ServiceLive Bucks Balance electronically by transferring money from your valid checking, savings or other ACH-enabled bank account at a financial institution in the United States (your Bank Account). Funds transfers from your Bank Account usually take three to four business days to complete. You may be charged a return fee for any ACH debit transfer request that is rejected by the holding financial institution for any reason (a Return Fee), including without limitation rejections caused by insufficient funds in your Bank Account, closure of your Bank Account, or if the Bank Account number or other information you provided is incorrect. Applicable Return Fees may vary based on the jurisdiction in which you are located. Your location is determined by the address that is associated with your ServiceLive Wallet. We do not accept cash, checks, money orders, or wire transfers.
3.2.1 Bank Card Transactions. You may use Bank Cards registered in your ServiceLive Wallet to fund your ServiceLive Bucks Balance. In such a case, our agent, ServiceLive, will be the merchant that appears on your Bank Card statement. You may not use gift cards or other prepaid cards to fund your ServiceLive Bucks Balance.
3.3 Payment Privileges
3.3.1 Transaction Limits. Our agent, ServiceLive, may establish limits on a User's ability to, on a self-service basis, transfer their Balance to their Bank Card or bank account, from time to time. You will be notified through the Bucks Site of any such limitations. You may manually direct that your entire Balance (without regard to the foregoing limits) be transferred to your applicable bank account or Bank Card at any time. We may require additional information from you to verify your identity in connection with such a manual transaction. In addition to any stated transaction limit, we may delay, suspend or reject a transaction if we suspect the transaction is unauthorized, fraudulent, suspicious or otherwise unusual based on prior transaction activity and application of our internal fraud controls.
3.3.2 Sending and Receiving Funds. You may initiate payment to any Provider that has provided a product or performed a service for you (which may include ServiceLive). The payment will not be released to a Provider until you have authorized the payment. We are not liable to any person for any damages associated with any unaccepted payment.
3.3.3 Refunds. You may request a refund of your ServiceLive Bucks Balance, or a portion thereof; but only to the extent that you, or someone using your PIN, has not authorized the transfer of such ServiceLive Bucks to another User. If you used your Bank Account to fund your ServiceLive Bucks Balance, the refund will be made to your Bank Account via an ACH credit to your Bank Account. If you used a Bank Card to fund your ServiceLive Bucks Balance, the refund will be made to that Bank Card. If we can-not refund such monies to the applicable Bank Account or Bank Card, you will need to contact us, through our agent, ServiceLive, to make other arrangements.
3.4 Availability of Funds. Funds for any given transaction will not be available until the transaction is deemed complete. As applicable, transactions will be deemed complete when we have received or sent the funds. Each time a Buyer posts a service order through the ServiceLive Site, the spend limit set forth in such service order, shall be held and shall not be available for use in any future transaction until such service order is completed or cancelled; provided that a Buyer User may request a refund of all of its ServiceLive Bucks at any time; in which case all open service orders on the ServiceLive Site will be cancelled. In addition to restrictions that may already apply to your ServiceLive Bucks Balance, we may restrict transactions to or from your ServiceLive Bucks Balance or limit access to funds in your ServiceLive Bucks Balance in such amounts and for such time as we reasonably deem necessary to protect us or other users if: (a) we are subject to financial risk, (b) you have violated any term of this Agreement, (c) any dispute exists involving your ServiceLive Bucks Balance or transaction to which you are a party, (d) needed to protect the security of our systems; or (e) ServiceLive directs us to limit your access. We may restrict access to funds in your ServiceLive Bucks Balance for the greater of (1) the time that it takes for us to complete any pending investigation or resolve a pending dispute or (2) 180 days. We also may hold your funds as required by law or court order or if otherwise requested by law enforcement or any governmental entity.
3.5 Receipts; Electronic Account History. When you purchase ServiceLive Bucks, you will be provided a receipt which you should retain for your records. You may access your electronic transaction history and ServiceLive Bucks Balance by logging into the Bucks Site through the ServiceLive Site at any time.
3.6 Disputes.
3.6.1 Buyer Disputes. A Buyer may elect not to complete a Service Order Completion Form to dispute all or a portion of the agreed upon charges under a Service Order. IPS cannot compel a Buyer User to make a payment to a Provider User. Provider Users agree to look solely to the other Member with whom they have transacted business and not to IPS.
3.6.2 Errors and Unauthorized Transactions. You can inspect your transaction history at any time by logging into the Bucks Site through the ServiceLive Site. It is very important that you immediately notify IPS, through our agent, ServiceLive, if you have reason to believe any of the following activities have occurred: (i) there has been an unauthorized transaction from your ServiceLive Bucks Balance; (ii) there has been an unauthorized access to your ServiceLive Wallet; (iii) your password has been compromised; (iv) someone has transferred or may transfer funds from your ServiceLive Bucks Balance without your permission (collectively called Improper Account Access).
3.6.3 Review of Reports of Errors and/or Unauthorized Transactions. We will advise you of the results of our investigation within 10 Business Days after we receive your notice. If we have made an error, we will correct it promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 days to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, and your inquiry or complaint involves any amounts in question relating to your ServiceLive Bucks Wallet, we may, but we are not required to, provisionally credit your ServiceLive Bucks Balance for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have the use of the money during the time it takes us to complete our investigation. If we ask you to put your complaint or question in writing and we do not receive it within ten (10) Business Days, we may not grant provisional credit of the disputed amount. At the end of our investigation, we will advise you of the results within 3 Business Days. If we determine that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation and we may debit any provisional credit that we previously credited to you in relation to the alleged error. You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation.
3.6.4 Liability for Unauthorized Transactions. If you report and we verify that there has been an Improper Account Access related to your ServiceLive Bucks Wallet, we may reimburse you for unauthorized transactions sent from your ServiceLive Bucks Balance that occur within 60 days of the time that you knew or should have known about the Improper Account Access; provided that such access did not involve the use of your PIN. If you do not report the Improper Account Access to IPS within 60 days of the time that you knew or should have known about it, we may still reimburse you for unauthorized transactions that took place within or before that 60-Day period, but you will be liable for all unauthorized transactions resulting from the Improper Account Access that occur on day 61 and beyond.
3.6.7 Errors. If we discover a processing error, we will rectify the error. If the error resulted in your receiving less money than you were entitled to, IPS will credit your ServiceLive Bucks Balance for the difference. If the error results in you receiving more money than you were entitled to, IPS may debit the extra funds from your ServiceLive Bucks Balance or your Bank Account or charge a Bank Card now or hereafter in your ServiceLive Wallet. Subject to Section 3.4 and Section 6.2, if the error resulted in our not completing a transaction on time or in the correct amount, we will only be liable for completing the transaction and not for any losses or damages caused by such failure.
- Provider Transaction Reversals and Chargebacks

4.2 Collection Rights.

Further, if we reasonably believe that a Chargeback is likely with respect to any transaction submitted by or authorized by you or on your behalf, we may withhold from payments otherwise due to you under this Agreement until such time that: (a) a Chargeback is assessed due to a member's complaint, in which case we will retain the funds; (b) the period of time under applicable law or regulation by which the user may dispute that the transaction has expired; or (c) we determine that a Chargeback on the transaction will not occur. If we are unable to collect the Chargeback, you will pay us the full amount of the Chargeback immediately upon demand. You agree to pay all costs and expenses, including without limitation attorneys' fees and other legal expenses, incurred by or on behalf of us in connection with the collection of all account deficit balances unpaid by you.
4.3 Excessive Chargebacks. If we determine that you are incurring an excessive amount of Chargebacks, we may establish controls or conditions governing your ServiceLive Bucks Balance, including without limitation, by (a) establishing new processing fees, (b) creating a reserve account in an amount reasonably determined by us to cover anticipated Chargebacks and related fees, (c) limiting transaction privileges, and (d) terminating or suspending the Payment Service.

If you owe us an amount that exceeds your ServiceLive Bucks Balance, we may debit or charge a Bank Account or Bank Card now or hereafter in your ServiceLive Wallet.

5.3 Taxes. You are responsible for determining any and all taxes and duties, including without limitation, sales, use, transfer, value added, withholding, and other taxes and/or duties assessed, incurred, or required to be collected, paid, or withheld for any reason in connection with any request for or performance of the Payment Service, your use of the Bucks Site, the sale or purchase of any services for a transaction, or otherwise in connection with any action, inaction, or omission by you or any affiliate of yours, or any of your or their respective employees, agents, contractors, or representatives (Taxes).

You will remain liable for all obligations related to your ServiceLive Bucks Balance even after it is closed.
6.2 Suspension or Termination by Us. We may suspend or terminate the Payment Service, for any reason at any time without prior notice to you.

AAA can be contacted at: American Arbitration Association, 1633 Broadway, 10th Floor, New York, New York 10019, Toll Free: 1-800-778-7879, www.adr.org. (d) In this Arbitration Provision, the term Claim means any claim, dispute or controversy between you and us arising from or relating to your Card, your Account or this Agreement including the validity, enforceability or scope of this Arbitration Provision or the Agreement. Claim includes claims of every kind and nature, including but not limited to: initial claims, counterclaims, cross-claims and third-party claims; claims brought under contract, tort, statutory, regulatory or any other legal theory; and claims seeking any type of relief (including money damages, injunctive or declaratory relief). Claim does not include any challenge to the validity and effect of the Class Action Waiver, which must be decided by a court. The terms we and us in this Arbitration Provision shall mean us including without limitation our affiliates and agents, licensees, predecessors, successors, and assigns; and all of us and their agents, employees, directors and representatives, and all third party agents, contractors, marketers, merchants and servicers. (e) YOU AND WE HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE ANY CLAIM IN COURT OR HAVE A JURY TRIAL ON ANY CLAIM, OR TO ENGAGE IN DISCOVERY EXCEPT AS PROVIDED FOR IN THE PROCEDURES OF THE NAF OR AAA, AS APPLICABLE (THE PROCEDURES), EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN FOR A SMALL CLAIM. FURTHER, YOU WILL NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY OR AS A MEMBER OF ANY CLASS OF CLAIMANTS PERTAINING TO ANY CLAIM SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH BELOW, THE ARBITRATOR'S DECISION WILL BE FINAL AND BINDING. NOTE THAT OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT ALSO MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION. (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Arbitration Provision, either party may file and pursue a Claim in a small claims court of your state or municipality (Small Claim), but the Claim must proceed only on an individual basis and not in a representative capacity or class action so long as that Claim is not transferred or appealed to a different court, in which case either party may elect arbitration. (g) No Claim submitted to arbitration is heard by a jury, may be brought as a class action in a court or arbitration proceeding, or as a private attorney general. You do not have the right to act as a class representative or participate as a member of a class of claimants with respect to any Claim submitted to arbitration (Class Action Waiver). The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the Class Action Waiver is material and essential to the arbitration of any disputes between the parties and is nonseverable from this agreement to arbitrate Claims. If the Class Action Waiver is limited, voided or found unenforceable, then the parties' agreement to arbitrate (except for this sentence) shall be null and void with respect to such proceeding, subject to the right to appeal the limitation or invalidation of the Class Action Waiver. Any Claim resolved by arbitration shall be arbitrated on an individual basis by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator's authority to resolve Claims is limited to Claims between you and us alone, and the arbitrator's authority to make awards is limited to you and us alone. Furthermore, Claims brought by you against us or by us against you may not be joined or consolidated in arbitration with Claims brought by or against someone other than you. (h) Any arbitration hearing that you attend shall take place in the federal judicial district of your residence at the time the claim is filed. At your written request, we will consider advancing and/or reimbursing any arbitration filing fee, or administrative and hearing fees that you are required to pay to pursue a Claim in arbitration. The arbitrator will decide who will ultimately be responsible for paying those fees. If you file a claim against us,in no event will you be required to reimburse us for any arbitration filing, administrative, or hearing fees in an amount greater than what your court costs would have been if the Claim had been resolved in a state court with jurisdiction. Each party shall bear its own attorney's, expert's and witness fees, which shall not be considered costs of arbitration; however, if a statute gives you the right to recover these fees, or fees paid to the Administrator, then these statutory rights will apply in arbitration. (i) This Arbitration Provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce, and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1-16 (the FAA). The arbitration shall be governed by the applicable Procedures, except that this Arbitration Provision shall control if it is inconsistent with the applicable Procedures. The arbitrator shall apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law and, at the timely written request of either party, shall provide a written explanation of the basis for the decision. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitrator's decision will be final and binding, except as provided by the FAA. (j) Continuation: This Arbitration Provision shall survive termination of your Card, your Account and this Agreement. If any portion of this Arbitration Provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable it shall not invalidate the remaining portions of this Arbitration Provision or the Agreement, except as provided for in subsection (g) above.
