General Payment Terms & Conditions
Effective Date: October 31, 2022
These Bill Payment & Presentment Service General Terms & Conditions (the “Payment Terms”) are an agreement between you and LeaseDirect, sometimes referred to as LesseeDirect, and its successors and assigns (“Lease Direct,” “we” or “us”). These Payment Terms and your agreement with us are also subject to the Terms of Service (“TOS”) between you and LeaseDirect governing your use of the online portal and website (the “Site”) and the associated online services (“Services”).
- Your Agreement. By using the Site or the Services or by authorizing us to initiate, make, or accept any payment, credit, or debit on your behalf (the “Payment Services”), or by acknowledging or agreeing to the TOS or these Payment Terms, you manifest your assent and agree to be bound by these Payment Terms. If you do not agree to the TOS or these Payment Terms, you must discontinue your use of the Site and the Payment Services immediately.
- Revised Terms & Effective Date. You agree that in exchange for your use of the Site and the Payment Services, we may amend the TOS and these Payment Terms from time to time and at any time. The revised Payment Terms will be effective when posted on the Site and upon the effective date stated above (“Effective Date”). Any Payment Services offered by LeaseDirect to you will be governed by the Payment Terms in effect at the time that we effectuate any Payment Services on your behalf. Your continued use of the Site and the Payment Services after the Effective Date will constitute your assent and agreement to any revisions to the TOS and these Payment Terms.
- Lease Payments, Affiliates & Third-Party Providers. The Payment Services are provided to you by LeaseDirect in order to allow you to effectuate lease payments and other payments between you and LeaseDirect. In connection with Payment Services, we have engaged and may engage various third-party providers to provide the Payment Services, to effectuate the Payment Services, or to effectuate portions of the Payment Services (the “Third-Party Providers”).
- Third-Party Provider Disclosures. By using the Payment Services, you consent to the collection, use, storage, disclosure and distribution of your confidential information to any Third-Party Provider, located in Canada or the United States, as applicable, in connection with the performance of the Payment Services as contemplated hereunder, and the processing of confidential information, including confidential information that may constitute personal information or any information concerning any deposit account or other account held by you at any depository institution that you provide to us (your “Accounts”).
- Payment Services. The Payment Services are intended solely to allow you to make one-time (“One-Time Payments” and recurring payments (“Autopay Payments”) to us in connection with any lease obligation or other obligations between you and us (collectively, “Payments”). You may not use the Payment Services for person-to-person payments, business-to-business payments, or any other purpose. In connection with your use of the Payment Services, you hereby provide standing authorization to us to make any Payment from your Accounts. We will initiate Payments on your behalf in connection with this standing authorization and in accordance with any One-Time Payment instruction or any Autopay Payment instructions from you (a “Payment Request”).
- Payment Requests. Payments, along with any applicable fees or other charges due to us or otherwise authorized under the terms of your lease agreement or other agreement with us, will be initiated by us upon submission of a Payment Request. Your Payment Request authorizes us to immediately initiate the Payment through an automated clearing house (“ACH”) transaction or through any other means selected by us or any Third-Party Provider. Depending on the timing of LeaseDirect’s receipt of the Payment Request, its initiation of the ACH Payment, and its Third-Party Provider, the Payment will be credited to us within one to three business days from the date of the Payment Request. To assure timely Payments, you must have sufficient available funds in your Account and submit a Payment Request before the date any Payment to us is required to be made. We will have no liability in the event that a Payment Request cannot be completed due to insufficient funds in your Account, due to inaccurate entry of information concerning your Account by you, or for any other reason. Further, we will have no liability in the event that any Payment is deemed late due to the timing of your submission of a Payment Request, due to any delay in effectuating the Payment, or for any other reason. Finally, we will have no liability in the event a Payment cannot be initiated, modified or canceled due to issues associated with the ACH Network, or system maintenance or outages impacting us or any Third-Party Provider.
- Payment Timing. Generally, all Payment Requests received by us prior to 12:00 p.m. ET on any business day will be initiated by us on that business day; and all Payment Requests received by us after 12:00 p.m. ET on any business day or at any time on any non-business day will be initiated by us on the following business day.

You agree that all errors, mistakes, acts and omissions concerning your access to, and use of, the Site and the Payment Services shall be solely and exclusively your responsibility and that you will have no recourse, right of claim or demand, or entitlement to any remedy, redress or compensation by, or from, us or any Third- Party Provider in connection with your use of the Payment Services. For example, no party shall be liable or responsible to you or any other person where the information that you supply to us about either you or your Account is incorrect, incomplete or out of date.
- Your Representations. If there is any missing or erroneous information regarding your Account, you authorize us to verify and correct such information. You acknowledge that your Account is a valid, open and active checking account, demand deposit account, or similar account held at a bank and that your consent alone is sufficient to authorize withdrawals from, debits to, or charges to your Account.
