D. Online Payments
1. General Description of Online Payment Features. Online bill payment ("Online Payment") is a service we make available to our Account Holders through a third-party payment processor (the “Payment Processor”) that we have selected to support this feature. You may use Online Payment to authorize a one-time payment on your Account(s). You acknowledge that the origination of electronic debit transactions from your bank account must comply with the current laws of the United States and the rules, as they may be changed from time to time, of the National Automated Clearinghouse.
2. Payment Processor. You understand and acknowledge that the Payment Processor manages the routing and processing of all required information to process Online Payments. We are not affiliated with the Payment Processor and neither we nor the Payment Processor is an agent of the other. In making an Online Payment, you may be redirected to an external website operated by a Payment Processor and the processing of payments will be subject to the terms, conditions, and privacy policies of the Payment Processor in addition to these Terms of Use or other incorporated agreements. You acknowledge and agree that we shall not be liable to you for any claims arising out of any act or omission on the part of the Payment Processor including, but not limited to, any lost, stolen, or incorrectly processed payments. We expressly disclaim any responsibility and liability for all services provided by a Payment Processor.
3. Your Online Payment Responsibilities. Regardless of the payment amount or payment effective date you schedule using Online Payment, you are responsible for complying with all of the terms and conditions of your Account, including, without limitation, your agreement to make all payments when due and in the amount required by your Loan Agreement. When using Online Payment, you should schedule your payment in amounts and with an effective date that will satisfy your payment obligations. If you do not make a payment when due and in the amount required, we will have the rights and remedies available under your Loan Agreement or as otherwise available to us at law or in equity.
4. Payment Funds. Adequate funds must be available in the bank account where your payments are coming from when an Online Payment is processed. By authorizing an Online Payment, you represent and warrant that you have the legal right to use the bank account designated to make the payment and the bank account contains adequate funds for the amount of the designated Online Payment. If a scheduled Online Payment fails due to insufficient funds for the full payment amount initiated, the Account will not receive credit for the payment. You are responsible to make timely payments for the amount owed in accordance with the Loan Agreement and these Terms of Use. If you believe that an unauthorized transaction has taken place regarding any Online Payment, you agree to notify us immediately so that we may take action to prevent potential financial loss.
5. Online Payment Fees. While we do not currently charge any payment transaction fee to use Online Payment, our Payment Processor may charge you a fee to accept your payment. We do not receive any portion of the fee that the Payment Processor may charge you. More information about the applicable fee can be found when you click on the link to the Payment Processor's website. In addition, you will be responsible for paying any amount you may owe other persons or companies related to the use of Online Payment or any bank account linked to Online Payment. For example, your bank may charge a fee in connection with electronic payments taken from your account with them for your Account with us. Nothing herein relieves you of your responsibility to pay any amount, fee or charge you may owe us under your Account.
6. Failure to Effect Payment and Liability for Such Payments. If you attempt to make payments on your Account through this Website or other Services, or through an authorized third party acting on our behalf we will use reasonable efforts to complete bill payments according to your instructions. However, neither we nor any third-party service provider acting on our behalf will be liable in any way (including, but not limited to, payment processing errors or fees) if:
a. Through no fault of ours or our authorized third party, you have insufficient funds or credit in your bank account to complete a payment transaction, or if your bank account has been closed;
b. The Online Payment feature is not working properly and you knew or were told about the malfunction before you started the transaction, or should have reasonably been able to tell that something was wrong;
c. You do not provide us with complete, accurate, and current payment and contact information, or if you otherwise do not give complete, correct, and current information to properly complete the requested transaction;
d. You do not authorize a bill payment in time for your payment to be made and credited to the Account by the due date;
e. Withdrawals from your bank account have been prohibited by an order from a court of proper jurisdiction for such things as a garnishment or other legal process;
f. We or our authorized agent reasonably believe that a transaction may be unauthorized or fraudulent;
g. Your computer, mobile phone, wireless service or any related equipment or software is, or was, not working properly; or
h. Circumstances beyond our, or our authorized third party's control prevent completing an online bill payment including, but not limited to, telecommunication outages, postal strikes and other labor unrest, delays caused by payees, fires, floods, and other natural disasters, terrorist acts or war.

Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookie
A “cookie” is a small file that is accessible within a folder on a computer and it is used for record-keeping purposes. Cookies are used to monitor your activity on a website by enabling us (through “first-party cookies”) or other parties (through “third-party cookies” set by parties other than us) to collect information about how you use the Website and enhance the way you use our Services.
There are two types of cookies: session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies are temporarily stored on your hard drive and expire at the end of your browsing session. Persistent cookies remain stored on your hard drive until they expire or are deleted by you. We use persistent cookies for customer protection as part of our authentication technology as such cookies assist in verifying the identity of a customer who is attempting to log into an account. You can block and control cookies using the information noted below. If you block all cookies, certain functionalities on our Websites or Services may not work.
Other Similar Technologies
In addition to cookies, there are other automatic data collection technologies, such as Internet tags, web beacons (clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs), and navigational data collection (log files, server logs, etc.), HTML Local Storage, Social Widgets, or UTM Codes that can be used to collect data as users navigate through and interact with a website.
Particular third-party cookies or tracking technologies used on our Websites include, but are not limited to:
https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/ and https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245
You can learn more about Google’s restrictions on data use by visiting the Google Privacy Policy at: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy. To opt-out of Google Analytics, visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and install the opt-out browser add-on feature. For more details, visit the “Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on” page (located at https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/181881?hl=en).
We do not control these third parties’ technologies or how they may use your personal data once you are referred to these third-party websites. If you have any questions, you should contact the responsible party directly or consult their privacy policies.
Choices About Cookies
Most web browsers are set by default to accept cookies. If you do not wish to receive cookies, you may set your browser to refuse all or some types of cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent by website tracking technologies and advertising. You may adjust your browser settings to opt out of accepting a “persistent” cookie and to only accept “session” cookies, but you will need to log in each time you want to enjoy the full functionality of the Website or other Services.If you decline the use of cookies, you may not have access to the full benefits of the Services. Further, your opt-out only applies to the web browser you use, so you must opt out of each web browser on each computer you use. Once you opt out, if you delete your browser’s saved cookies, you will need to opt out again. In addition, adjusting the cookie settings on the services may not fully delete all of the cookies that have already been created. To delete them, visit your web browser settings after you have changed your cookie settings on the services.
Additional information is provided below about how to disable cookies or manage the cookie settings for some of the leading web browsers (PLEASE NOTE: these third party links are provide for your convenience, and we may not actively monitor the content of these links):

Your Choices to Control Your Information
Please use the “Contact Us” details provided at the end of this Policy to exercise your rights and choices under this Privacy Policy. We honor such requests when we are required to do so under applicable law.
Email Opt-Out: If you no longer wish to receive communications from us via email, you may opt-out by clicking the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of our emails or by contacting us at 1-866-413-8340 and providing your name and email address so that we may identify you in the opt-out process. Once we receive your instruction, we will promptly take corrective action. Please note that registered users on our Services cannot opt-out of receiving transaction emails related to their account.
Online Tracking Signals: We do not currently recognize browser settings or signals of tracking preferences, which may include “Do Not Track” instructions. “Do Not Track” is a web browser setting that seeks to disable the tracking of individual users’ browsing activities. However, because our Website is not configured to detect Do Not Track Signals from a user’s computer due to the limits of current technology and solutions, we are unable to respond to Do Not Track Requests.
Accuracy and Updating Your Information: Our goal is to keep your information accurate, current, and complete. Please update your information through the Online Customer Portal, if possible, or contact us via the “Contact Us” details at the end of this Privacy Policy to, correct or update any personal information that you have provided to us. For instance, if your email address changes, you may wish to let us know so that we can communicate with you. If you become aware of inaccurate personal information about you, you may want to update your information. We may not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect. We are not responsible for any losses arising from inaccurate, inauthentic, deficient, or incomplete personal data that you provide to us.
Data Retention
We retain and use your personal information for an appropriate period of time as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, to comply with our business requirements and legal obligations, to resolve disputes, to protect our assets, to provide our services, to pursue legitimate business purposes, to enforce our agreements, and other business or commercial purposes to the extent provided in this Privacy Policy.
We take reasonable steps to delete the personal information we collect when (1) we have a legal obligation to do so, (2) we no longer have a purpose for retaining the information, or (3) if you ask us to delete your personal information, unless we determine that doing so would violate our existing, legitimate legal, regulatory, dispute resolution, contractual, or similar obligations. We may also decide to delete your personal information if we believe it is incomplete, inaccurate, or that our continued storage of your personal information is contrary to our legal obligations or business objectives. When we delete your personal information, it will be removed from our active servers and databases; but it may remain in our archives when it is not practical or possible to delete it.
Data Security
We recognize the importance of safeguarding your personal information. We endeavor to maintain reasonable and appropriate physical, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect your personal information from accidental loss and unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure. From time to time, we review our security procedures to consider appropriate new technologies and methods. We use reasonable security measures when transmitting personal information to customers in responding to requests under applicable data protection or privacy laws.
While our security measures seek to protect the personal information in our possession, no security system is perfect, and no data transmission is 100% secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to or from our Websites and Services. The safety and security of your personal information also depends on you. Where you use a password for access to restricted parts of our Websites or our Services, you are reasonable for keeping your password confidential. Do not share your password with anyone. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Websites and Services.

Our Websites and other Services may contain links to websites or mobile applications operated and maintained by third parties. These links are to external websites and third parties that have their own privacy policies. If you follow any links that direct you away from the Services, including links to social media sites or to other websites, this Privacy Policy will not apply to your activity on the other sites you visit. Because of the dynamic media capabilities of the Services, it may not be clear to you which links are to the Services and which are to external, third party websites. If you click on an embedded third-party link, you will be redirected away from the Services to the external third-party website. You can check the URL to confirm that you have left the Services.
We cannot (i) guarantee the adequacy of the privacy and security practices employed by or the content and media provided by any third parties or their websites, (ii) control the privacy policies or the privacy practices of any third parties regarding their independent collection or use or your personal information, or (iii) endorse any third-party information, products, services or websites that may be reached through embedded links on the Services.
Any personal information provided by you or automatically collected from you by a third party will be governed by that party’s privacy policy and terms of use. If you are unsure whether a website is controlled, affiliated, or managed by us, you should review the privacy policy and practices applicable to each linked website.
Your California Privacy Rights

Changes to Our Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to add to, change, update, or modify this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect any changes to how we treat your information or in response to changes in law. In the event we make changes to this Privacy Policy, such policy will be re-posted on this page. If we make material changes to how we treat our users’ personal information, we may notify you by e-mail to the e-mail address specified in your account and/or through a notice on the Website home page. The date the Privacy Policy was last revised is identified at the top of the page. All changes are effective on the date listed at the top of this page and will apply to all information we have about you.
You are responsible for ensuring we have an up-to-date active and deliverable e-mail address for you, and for periodically visiting our Sites and this Privacy Policy to check for any changes.

If you choose to apply for a loan through Lendmark Financial Services, LLC or any of its affiliates and subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Lendmark,” “we,” or “us”) we will provide you with certain written disclosures, applications, agreements, notices or information (“Required Documents”) related to your loan transaction with us.
Pursuant to the federal E-SIGN Act and related state laws, Lendmark may, with your consent, allow you to sign and deliver to you any Required Documents electronically. Therefore, you should review the terms of this Consent Agreement for Electronic Signature and Electronic Delivery of Documents (“Agreement”) prior to giving your consent and retain a copy of this Agreement for your records.
If you do not want us to send you Required Documents electronically or you do not want to sign any Required Documents using electronic signature in connection with your transaction with us, you should not agree to the terms of this Agreement.
Your consent to this Agreement does not mean that Lendmark must provide all Required Documents to you electronically. Lendmark may provide you with paper copies of Required Documents as it deems appropriate.
Your consent to this Agreement will apply to the general use of electronic signatures and electronic delivery of Required Documents to all of the transactions you have with us following the date you enter into this Agreement with us until such time that you withdraw consent, as provided herein.
To receive and retain the Required Documents we deliver to you electronically, you must have access to the following equipment:
We will notify you about any significant system requirement changes that may materially impact your ability to access and/or retain any Required Information that is delivered to you electronically.
If you consent to electronic delivery of the Required Documents, you may also request a paper copy of those Required Documents at no additional cost to you by sending us an e-mail at eservicing@lendmarkfinancial.com.
You may withdraw your consent to this Agreement by sending us an e-mail stating that you would like to withdraw from Lendmark’s Electronic Signature and Records Program at eservicing@lendmarkfinancial.com. Contacting your servicing Lendmark branch will not be sufficient. We will not charge you any fees for withdrawing consent, however, you will no longer receive any future “Required Documents” electronically. Your request to withdraw consent will become effective after we have had a reasonable amount of time to process your request. Please note that if you separately opt-in for electronic statements by registering for the Lendmark Mobile App or Online Customer Portal and you subsequently wish to receive paper statements, you must opt-out of electronic statements using the opt-out feature within the Lendmark Mobile App or Online Customer Portal. Opting out of electronic statements will not by itself constitute withdrawal of your consent to receive Required Documents electronically.
If you consent to electronic delivery of Required Documents, we will send that information to you at the e-mail address you have provided to us. It is your responsibility for keeping your e-mail address updated. Therefore, if you change your e-mail address you must provide us with the new e-mail address by sending us an e-mail at eservicing@lendmarkfinancial.com. Contacting your servicing Lendmark branch will not be sufficient.
If you agree, we may contact you by e-mail to process your application, service your account, inform you about our financial products and services or other business purposes.
By clicking on the “I agree” box, you agree to the terms of this Agreement and consent to signing and receiving any Required Documents related to your transaction with us electronically. You further agree and confirm that you have access to the equipment and software outlined in the System Requirements listed above. You also agree that your electronic signature, where required, will have the same force and effect, and will bind you to all the terms and conditions within the “Required Documents” in the same manner and to the same extent as a handwritten signature.
By submitting this form, you are requesting a pre-qualified offer - this is not a guaranteed offer.
Our initial review process will use a “soft” credit inquiry to determine whether a pre-qualified offer is available. The “soft” credit inquiry is only visible to you and does not impact your credit.
If a pre-qualified offer is available based on the initial review and you decide to proceed with applying for the offer or if we are unable to determine eligibility for a pre-qualified offer using a “soft” credit inquiry and you wish to continue with our full application process, we will obtain your credit report using a “hard” inquiry. The “hard” inquiry is visible to you and others who may review your credit and may impact your credit. If an offer is made, it may have the original prequalified terms or updated terms.

By clicking on the confirm button below, you are authorizing Lendmark Financial Services (Lendmark) and its payment processing agent, ACI Payments, Inc. (“ACI”), to use either your deposit account information or debit card, as selected and provided by you, to debit money from your deposit account with your financial institution (Debit Account) for the limited purpose of making a one-time payment to your loan account with Lendmark. You acknowledge that this payment transaction is an electronic transaction and you consent to it being facilitated by ACI on your behalf. All information provided by you to enable this transaction is true and correct to the best of your knowledge. You affirm that you are an owner of the Debit Account or an authorized user of the debit card that you are using to make a debit card payment. You further acknowledge that ACI may assess a fee to you for using this online payment service and that Lendmark does not receive any portion of this fee. Any such fee will be disclosed to you on the Payment Information screen. The fee will be deducted from your Debit Account at the time of the payment.
Your financial institution that maintains your Debit Account must provide you with disclosures which explain your rights and obligations when making electronic transfers and any fees associated with such transfers. You should review these disclosures. In the event your financial institution charges any fees in connection with your authorization of electronic transfers from your Debit Account, you will be responsible for such fees. You should also review your Debit Account statements prepared by your financial institution to verify the date and amount of any transfers initiated for Lendmark by ACI. If you have questions about your rights and obligations when making electronic transfers you should contact your financial institution.
You are responsible for making sure you have sufficient funds in your Debit Account on the scheduled payment date that you select. To the extent permitted by applicable law and as disclosed on your loan agreement, you may be charged an insufficient funds charge by Lendmark for any electronic transfer request that is dishonored by your financial institution.
If a payment that you have scheduled exceeds the minimum payment due at the time the payment is credited to your Lendmark account, you acknowledge that Lendmark will apply the excess portion of the payment in accordance with the payment application terms in your loan agreement. Payments authorized by you will be credited to your Lendmark account on the scheduled payment date; provided that you complete the authorization before 11:59 PM Eastern Standard Time on the scheduled payment date. Payments authorized after 11:59 PM Eastern Standard Time on the scheduled payment date will be credited to your Lendmark account the next day. Payments authorized by you will be presented to your financial institution on or after the scheduled payment date for immediate payment.
