These Payment Terms and Conditions are part of this TOU and are applicable to any payment transaction you initiate on the MCM Website or the MCM App (each, a “Payment Transaction”). If you choose to use either the MCM Website or the MCM App to make a Payment Transaction, you accept and agree to these Payment Terms and Conditions. 11.1 Scope:  These Payment Terms and Conditions cover your participation in the Online Payment Portal offered by MCM (the “Program”). In these Payment Terms and Conditions, the words “you” and “your” refer to the user of the MCM Website and/or the MCM App and the Online Payment Portal. The words “we,” our,” and “us” refer to MCM (or its agents). The words “bank account” refer to the account held by a bank, securities firm, or other financial institution from which payment will be made when you make a Payment Transaction under the Program. The words “your bank” mean the bank, securities firm, or other financial institution that holds your account and/or issued your credit or debit card. Participating in the Program will enable you to pay your MCM account(s) online or through the MCM App. MCM, in its sole discretion, may refuse this payment option service, and specific payment methods, to anyone or any user without notice for any reason at any time. 11.2 Payment Authorization (Including Automatic Payments):  To use the Program to make a Payment Transaction, including automatic payments (if eligible), you must designate a valid major credit card, check, or electronic check (“Payment Method”). Each time you initiate a Payment Transaction(s), you authorize us or our agent to draw a check or draft, initiate an automated clearing house (“ACH”) debit, and/or charge your Payment Method, in your name to the bank account you specify, payable to us or to our agent, in the amount of the Payment Transaction, on the date(s) specified ("Billing Date") of the month(s) of payment according to the schedule (one-time or recurring) that you have affirmatively elected to enroll in for your MCM account. Your transaction must be payable in U.S. dollars. By paying using your designated Payment Method, you agree that: (a) you have read, understand and agree to these Payment Terms and Conditions, and that this agreement constitutes a "writing signed by you" under any applicable law or regulation. (b) you consent to the electronic delivery of the disclosures contained in these Payment Terms and Conditions. (c) you authorize MCM (or its agent) to make any inquiries we consider necessary to validate any dispute involving your payment, which may include ordering a credit report and performing other credit checks or verifying the information you provide against third party databases. (d) you authorize MCM (or its agent) to initiate one or more drafts or ACH debit entries (withdrawals) or the creation of an equivalent bank draft for the specified amount(s) from your bank account. and (e) you authorize the financial institution that holds your bank account to deduct such payments, debit your debit card, and/or charge your credit card, and to initiate any debit or credit entries to your bank account in the amount of such payments or corrections. 11.3 Charges:.  Before you make your payment, make sure you have enough money in your bank account to cover the payment. For each transaction, your bank may assess its customary per-check or item-handling charge, if any. Your bank may also assess its customary charge for each dishonored check or draft. If any transaction (check, demand, draft, debit, or charge debited or drawn by us or our agent in connection with the Program) is not honored by your bank, we have the right to collect the amount from you as permitted by applicable law. If this happens, we may cancel your right to participate in the Program. For certain accounts, you may have a separate agreement with a participating bank, securities firm, or other financial institution that allows a line of credit to be accessed in the event that your account contains insufficient funds to make payment to us. You should refer to the appropriate agreement relating to that line of credit for the terms and conditions that govern its use. 11.4 Payment:.  Any request or order to settle or make a Payment Transaction shall require MCM’s confirmation of acceptance and may also require additional verification or information from you before acceptance by MCM. All amounts are denoted in US Dollars ($). MCM utilizes third party payment processors, and you hereby agree that MCM may charge your chosen payment method for any Payment Transaction and for any applicable taxes. You agree to pay all charges incurred by you in connection with any credit card, debit card, or other payment method utilized in connection with a Payment Transaction with MCM. MCM does not assess fees or interest to a consumer’s balance throughout the period of active repayment (except those awarded by a court upon agreement with the consumer or after due process of law). however, missed payments will invalidate any agreed upon arrangement. Interest on the account, if applicable, which had been deferred while payments were being received may be added back to the account after payments ceased. MCM also reserves the right to terminate or suspend access to the MCM Website or the MCM App if you fail to pay any amounts when due. You shall reimburse MCM for all reasonable costs incurred (including reasonable attorney’s fees) in collecting past-due amounts. 11.5. Third-Party Processors:  You acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for compliance with any third-party payment processor’s terms and conditions and may be required to establish an account with a third-party payment service provider in order to complete a Payment Transaction. You may also be required to abide by additional instructions from and to agree to further terms and conditions with MCM regarding payment, retrieving data, and receiving other services. If there is a conflict between this TOU and such other or third-party terms and conditions, this TOU shall control as it relates to the subject matter of this TOU. 11.6 Current Information:  It is your responsibility to make sure that your Payment Method information and contact information are current at all times during the term of the payment plan you specify in your Payment Transaction. 11.7 Payment Processing for Online Payments:  With limited exceptions, Payment Transactions made through the Program will be processed within 24 hours of receipt. Payment Transactions made through the Program at or before 2:00 pm PST will be credited to your account the same day.

To cancel, change, or modify your payments or plan, please call or log-on at least two (2) Business Days before the Billing Date, unless otherwise permitted under applicable law, or your payment may be debited and/or charged for the then due payment. If you have entered into an agreement on a pending civil action regarding the underlying debt or a court has approved your payment plan and it, or the agreement itself, requires additional actions by either party in the event of your non-payment or default, then your cancellation of online automatic payments will be honored.

Notify us at once if you believe the password associated with your account has been lost or stolen, or if someone has attempted (or may attempt) to make a transfer from your bank account to complete a payment using your account without your permission. We reserve the right to cancel the ability to pay under the Program using the MCM Website or the MCM App for any reason at any time. You also should contact your bank for the Payment Method. 11.11 Our Liability for Improper Transactions or Payments:  Federal law limits your liability for any fraudulent, erroneous unauthorized transaction from your bank account based on how quickly you report it to your financial institution. As general rule, you should report any fraudulent, erroneous or unauthorized transactions to your bank within 60 days after the questionable transaction FIRST appeared on your bank account statement. You should contact your bank for more information about the policies and procedures that apply to your account and any unauthorized transactions, including any limits on your liability. We will not be liable to you in the following instances: ·  If, through no fault of ours, your account does not contain enough money to complete the transaction; ·  If the funds in your account are subject to legal process or other encumbrance restricting the transaction. or ·  If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood) prevent the transaction, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken. 11.12 Disclosure of Payment Information to Third-Parties:  To protect your privacy, we will not disclose any information about your online Payment Transactions to any person, except as follows: 1.  as necessary to complete transactions; 2.  to validate or verify the existence and condition any dispute involving payment, including with a third party, such as a financial institution or credit bureau (or, for Massachusetts residents, a consumer reporting agency as defined in chapter 93 of the Massachusetts General Laws); 3.  to comply with government agency or court orders; 4.  to our employees, auditors, service providers, attorneys, or collection agents in the course of their duties; 5.  to persons authorized by law in the course of their official duties. or 6.  if you give us your written permission. 11.13 Consent to Electronic Communication:  You should print and retain a copy of all disclosures and communications.

If you close your account, you agree to notify us first and to stop initiating transactions, and pay all agreed upon payments. 11.15 Prior Agreements and Assignments:  These Payment Terms and Conditions terminate and take the place of all prior agreements you may have with us relating to any Payment Transactions or the Program. We have the right to assign these Payment Terms and Conditions to a subsidiary or affiliate company at any time. 11.16 Note for Massachusetts Residents: GENERAL DISCLOSURE STATEMENT: Any documentation provided to you which indicates that an electronic fund transfer was made shall be admissible as evidence of such transfer and shall constitute prima facie proof that such transfer was made. The initiation by you of certain electronic funds transfers from your account will, except as otherwise provided in these Payment Terms and Conditions, effectively eliminate your ability to stop payment of the transfer. UNLESS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THESE PAYMENT TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOU MAY NOT STOP PAYMENT OF ELECTRONIC FUND TRANSFERS. THEREFORE, YOU SHOULD NOT EMPLOY ELECTRONIC ACCESS FOR PAYMENTS UNLESS YOU ARE SATISFIED THAT YOU WILL NOT NEED TO STOP PAYMENT.

The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of these Conditions of Use as a court would. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent Corporation Service Company. The arbitration will be conducted by any appropriate arbitration forum including, but not limited to the American Arbitration Association (AAA) or JAMS, under their rules, including any Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The AAA's rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. JAMS rules are available at WWW.JAMSADR.COM or by calling (800) 352-5267. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the rules of the arbitration forum. mcm, its parent OR affiliates will not seek attorneys' fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location. We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration we each waive any right to a jury trial. We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights. 16. ENFORCEMENT:  MCM wishes to maintain the MCM Website and the MCM App as helpful resources for all of its users. As it relates to MCM, MCM reserves the right to view, monitor, and/or record activity on the MCM Website and/or the MCM App (in accordance with applicable law) and to comply with government or court appointed authorities when necessary.

You therefore agree that MCM and/or its licensors (or on their behalf) shall be entitled, in addition to other available remedies, to seek and be awarded an injunction or other appropriate equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction restraining any breach, threatened or actual, of your obligations under any provision of this TOU. Accordingly, you hereby waive any requirement that MCM or its licensors post any bond or other security in the event any injunctive or equitable relief is sought by or awarded to MCM to enforce any provision of this TOU. 17. TERMINATION:  MCM also reserves the right at any time and on reasonable grounds, which shall include, without limitation, any reasonable belief of fraud, illegal activity, or actions or omissions that violate any term or condition of this TOU, to terminate this TOU with you (including any registered account) and your right to access and use the MCM Website and/or the MCM App. You acknowledge and agree that MCM shall have the sole right to determine in its reasonable discretion whether you are engaging in any unauthorized activity and/or violating any term or conditions of this TOU. MCM shall also not be responsible or liable for any damages or loss, such as loss of sales or profits, as a result of any termination of this TOU in accordance with this section. You may also terminate at any time by ceasing to use the MCM Website and/or the MCM App. But, all applicable provisions of this TOU will survive termination, as outlined below. Any licenses from MCM and any right to use the MCM Website and/or the MCM App shall immediately cease upon termination of this TOU. The provisions concerning feedback, MCM's ownership rights, warranty disclaimer, limitation of liability, governing law, enforcement, termination, and the miscellaneous terms will survive the termination or expiration of this TOU for any reason. 18. GOVERNING LAW:  This TOU has been made in and will be construed and enforced solely in accordance with the laws of the State of California, U.S.A., as applied to agreements entered into and completely performed in the State of California.

In addition, you agree to waive any right to a jury trial in connection with any action or litigation in any way arising out of or related to this TOU and that each party has the right to seek attorney's fees in any proceeding. You also acknowledge and agree that any applicable state law implementation of the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (including any available remedies or laws) shall not apply to this TOU and is hereby disclaimed. 19. SPECIFIC PROGRAMS. OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS:  Additional notices, terms, and conditions, including, without limitation, MCM’s Web Privacy Policy, and MCM's Privacy Notice, may apply to the use of the platforms or online solutions available through the MCM Website and/or the MCM App. You agree to abide by such other notices, terms, and conditions (as applicable). If there is a conflict with this Agreement, MCM's obligations, if any, with respect to its services, programs, and/or products are governed solely by the terms, conditions, notices, and agreements pursuant to which they are provided, and nothing should be construed to alter such terms, conditions, notices, and agreements. Nevertheless, your end use of the MCM Website and the MCM App shall be pursuant to this Agreement. 20. ENGLISH VERSION PREVAILS:  In the event this TOU is translated into other languages and there is a discrepancy between the two language versions, the English language version shall prevail. 21. MISCELLANEOUS:  The relationship between you and MCM is and shall be that of independent contractors and nothing in this TOU shall be construed or used to create or imply any relationship of partners, joint ventures, or employer and employee. You may not assign or otherwise transfer this TOU or the license granted hereunder or delegate any of your duties specified herein, in whole or in part, without MCM's prior written consent.

Moreover, MCM may delegate its rights and responsibilities or use contractors or agents to fulfill its obligations under this TOU. Failure by MCM to insist on strict performance of any of the terms and conditions of this TOU will not operate as a waiver of that or any subsequent default or failure of performance.
