Our “Permissioned Data Services” are services that allow you to connect to your accounts at banks, financial institutions, and other third-party providers (“Providers”), or upload data from your accounts with your Providers, and direct us to provide information from these accounts (your “Financial Data”) to third parties designated and authorized by you to receive your Financial Data (“Recipients”).

We are not responsible or liable for products and services provided to you by third parties, including products and services offered by your Providers or Recipients.
You acknowledge and agree that we have no control over your Providers and that some Providers may prevent, delay, or restrict us from accessing your account information. Depending on your Provider, your Financial Data may not reflect your most recent account information and transaction information. If you see a discrepancy, you should wait to proceed with the transaction and check the last refresh date for the relevant account. If the refresh date is not current, you should wait until the information has been refreshed and is accurate. If the refresh date is current but the information appears incorrect, you should contact your Provider. We do not guarantee that you will be able to use the Permissioned Data Services with any particular Provider. We will have no liability from your inability to access the Permissioned Data Services due to your Provider’s policies or systems.

You and we agree that any Claim, upon the election of either you or us, shall be resolved by legally binding arbitration. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted and to make all Claims between you and us subject to arbitration to the fullest extent permitted by law. A “Claim” means any dispute, claim, or controversy (whether based on contract, tort, intentional tort, constitution, statute, ordinance, common law, or equity, whether pre-existing, present, or future, and whether seeking monetary, injunctive, declaratory, or any other relief) arising from or relating to these Terms, our Services, or the relationship between you and us, including: claims arising prior to or after the date of the Terms; claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class; disputes, claims, or controversies that are brought as counterclaims, cross claims, third party claims or otherwise. For purposes of this Arbitration Agreement, “we” means the Finicity Parties (as defined above). These Terms evidence a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything in this Arbitration Agreement to the contrary, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court, so long as the action is not removed or appealed to a court of general jurisdiction. If an action that is brought in small claims court is removed or appealed to a court of general jurisdiction or is part of a class or representative action, either party may immediately cause or compel such Claim to be arbitrated pursuant to the terms of this Arbitration Agreement.
A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written signed notice of dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to Finicity should be addressed to: Attention: Legal Department, Finicity Corporation, 434 W. Ascension Way, Suite 200, Salt Lake City, Utah 84123 (“Notice Address”). The Notice to you shall be sent to the address we have on file for you. The Notice must describe the nature and basis of the Claim and set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). If you and we do not reach an agreement to resolve the Claim within 30 days after the Notice is received by the other party (during which time the statute of limitations shall be tolled), you or we may commence an arbitration proceeding. In the event a Claim is filed with a court, either you or we may immediately cause or compel such Claim to be arbitrated pursuant to the terms of this Arbitration Agreement.
You are entitled to an arbitration award of at least $7,500 if: (1) you give us Notice of a Claim and a Demand on your own behalf (and not on behalf of any other party) and comply with all of the requirements of this Arbitration Agreement; (2) we refuse to provide you with the Demand you requested before an arbitrator is appointed; and (3) the arbitrator awards you money damages greater than the last amount you requested at least ten days before the arbitration commenced. This $7,500 minimum award is a single award that applies to all Claims you have raised or could have raised in the arbitration. Multiple awards of $7,500 are not contemplated by this clause.
You may obtain more information about arbitration from www.adr.org.
The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and will be governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”). If the AAA is unavailable or refuses to arbitrate the parties’ dispute for any reason, the arbitration shall be administered and conducted by a widely-recognized arbitration organization that is mutually agreeable to the parties, but neither party shall unreasonably withhold or delay their consent. If the parties cannot agree to a mutually agreeable arbitration organization, one shall be appointed pursuant to Section 5 of the Federal Arbitration Act. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1 (800) 778-7879, or by writing to the Notice Address.
All issues are for the arbitrator to decide. The arbitrator may award relief, including but not limited to, damages, restitution, declaratory relief, and injunctive relief. Any such relief shall only be in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual Claim. The arbitrator’s decision shall be legally binding. The arbitrator shall be bound by the terms of these Terms.
Discovery and/or the exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the Claim will be governed by the AAA Rules.
In the event that you file for arbitration, you may send us a written
request at the Notice Address requesting that we pay all AAA filing,
administration and arbitrator fees for any arbitration initiated in
accordance with the Notice requirements above. We will pay all such costs
if the request is reasonable and the related claim is not in connection
with twenty (20) or more demands for arbitration that are filed relating
to the same or similar subject matter with the same counsel submitting
demands or different counsels that appear to be coordinating claims (a
“Mass Arbitration”). If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the
substance of your Claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or
brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of any fees by us
or you will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, you agree to
reimburse us for all monies previously disbursed by us that are otherwise
your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules.
The arbitrator may make
rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees
and expenses at any time during the proceeding or in the final award,
pursuant to applicable law and the AAA Rules.
Unless you and we agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of your home address. If your Claim is for $10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, through an online hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your Claim exceeds $10,000, the type of hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules.
The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s Claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual Claim. If this Class Arbitration Section is found to be unenforceable or invalid, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void.
If you or we seek public injunctive relief as a remedy for any Claim against one another (a “Public Injunctive Relief Request,”) you and we agree that Public Injunctive Relief Request cannot be arbitrated. Instead, that Public Injunctive Relief Request shall be adjudicated by a court after all other Claims to be decided in arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement are resolved in arbitration. You and we agree to jointly request that the court stay the Public Injunctive Relief request until after the remaining Claims have been finally resolved in arbitration. The enforceability, validity and effect of this Public Injunctive Relief section shall be determined exclusively by a court, and not by the administrator or any arbitrator.
You understand that you may reject the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement, in which case neither you nor we will have the right to elect arbitration and this Arbitration Agreement shall be void. Rejection of this Arbitration Agreement will not affect the remaining parts of this Terms. To reject this Arbitration Agreement, you must send us written notice of your rejection within 60 days after the date after you agreed to these Terms. You must include your name and address. The notice of rejection must be mailed to Attention: Legal Department, Finicity Corporation, 434 W. Ascension Way, Suite 200, Salt Lake City, Utah 84123. This is the only way that you can reject this Arbitration Agreement.
We agree that if we make any change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address) and you did not initially reject this Arbitration Agreement, you may reject any such change pursuant to the process in the Right to Reject Arbitration section. If you so reject, the terms of the Arbitration Agreement that existed prior to your rejection shall remain in effect.
These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us with respect to our Services and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, with respect to our Services. These Terms may be translated into other languages for convenience, but the English version shall be the governing version.
These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to any conflict of laws principles that would require or permit the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
You may not assign, novate or otherwise transfer any of your rights or obligations under these Terms. We may assign, novate or otherwise transfer any of our rights or obligations under these Terms in our sole discretion without notice to you.
Our failure or delay in enforcing any of your obligations or exercising any our rights or remedies under these Terms shall not operate as a waiver. Additionally, if we waive a particular obligation, right, or remedy in one circumstance, in whole or in part, it does not preclude us from subsequently requiring compliance with such obligation or exercising our right or remedy on other occasions. Use of the word “include” or any derivations thereof means to include without limitation.
Except as otherwise provided in the Class Arbitration section of the Arbitration Agreement, if any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, the remainder of the provision will be amended to achieve as closely as possible the effect of the original term and all other provisions of these Terms will continue in full force and effect.
The following provisions of these Terms shall survive your use of our Services and the termination of your ability to access our websites: Your Promises to Us; Consent to Call Monitoring and Recording; Intellectual Property Rights; Disclaimer of Warranties; Indemnification; Limitation of Liability; Arbitration Agreement; Governing Law; Assignment; Waiver; Interpretation; Severability; Survival; and any other provision that by its nature survives.
