a. Summary:
Most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by contacting our customer experience team via the support.Lazy Ledgers.com website. IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT THAT OUR CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE TEAM IS UNABLE TO RESOLVE A COMPLAINT YOU MAY HAVE TO YOUR SATISFACTION (OR IF WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE A DISPUTE WE HAVE WITH YOU AFTER ATTEMPTING TO DO SO INFORMALLY), WE EACH AGREE TO RESOLVE THOSE DISPUTES THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS COURT INSTEAD OF IN COURTS OF GENERAL JURISDICTION. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; YOU AGREE WITH Lazy Ledgers THAT CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED. For any non-frivolous claim that does not exceed $10,000, Lazy Ledgers will pay AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator costs. Moreover, in arbitration You are entitled to recover attorneys’ fees from Lazy Ledgers to at least the same extent as You would be in court.
b. U.S. Dispute Resolution Process.
ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE SERVICE OR THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION, RATHER THAN IN COURT, except that You may assert claims in small claims court if Your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision; the arbitrator shall apply California law to all other matters. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any party to the arbitration may at any time seek injunctions or other forms of equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction. WE EACH AGREE THAT ANY AND ALL DISPUTES MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU AGREE WITH Lazy Ledgers THAT YOU AND Lazy Ledgers ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT AND THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. IN ADDITION, YOU AGREE WITH Lazy Ledgers TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR LITIGATE ON A CLASS-WIDE BASIS. YOU AGREE WITH Lazy Ledgers THAT YOU HAVE EXPRESSLY AND KNOWINGLY WAIVED THESE RIGHTS.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, send a letter requesting arbitration and describing Your claim to Lazy Ledgers, Inc. at 101 Green Street, 5th Floor, San Francisco, CA 94111, Attention: Legal Department. Arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) before a single AAA arbitrator under the AAA’s rules, which are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees and costs will be governed by the AAA’s rules. In addition, Lazy Ledgers will reimburse those fees and costs for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. Likewise, Lazy Ledgers will not seek its attorneys’ fees or costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines Your claims or defenses are frivolous. You agree with Lazy Ledgers that You or Lazy Ledgers may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or based on written submissions. You agree with Lazy Ledgers that in person arbitration will be conducted in the county in which You reside or at another mutually agreeable location. You agree with Lazy Ledgers that the decision of the arbitrator shall be final and not appealable, and judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. You agree with Lazy Ledgers that the U.S. Dispute Resolution Process shall survive expiration, termination or rescission of this Agreement.
12. Additional terms for Account Information Services in the United Kingdom
Lazy Ledgers (UK) Limited is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority as an account information service provider under the Payment Services Regulations 2017 (PSRs) (registration number 805806). If You’re a Lazy Ledgers Subscriber or Invited User based in the United Kingdom that uses our account information services to receive Your transaction information into your Lazy Ledgers account, then these additional terms apply to you.
The account information services will make up part of the Services and any references to Data throughout the Agreement will be deemed to include references to ‘consolidated information’ and ‘transaction information’. If you’re wondering what some of the words used in these additional terms mean (like ‘transaction information’ and ‘payment account’) check out the key definitions below.
Account information services
What are they? As an account information service provider, Lazy Ledgers can, with Your express permission, receive or access Your transaction information from Your payment account with a payment service provider in order to flow those transactions into Your Lazy Ledgers account for simple and effective reconciliation. Once reconciled, the transaction information becomes consolidated information in Your Lazy Ledgers account. We call this a bank feed!
How do I use them? If You wish to set up a bank feed and take advantage of the account information services, You will need to explicitly agree to us receiving or accessing Your transaction information and, if applicable, accessing Your payment account using the authorisation/authentication method prescribed by Your payment service provider. In some situations, You may be required to periodically re-authorise us to access Your payment account on Your behalf.
How does Lazy Ledgers use your transaction information? Once we have retrieved your transaction information, we will import it into Your Lazy Ledgers account and only use it to provide the Services to You in the normal way. The same applies to any consolidated information we create out of that transaction information. We’ll process personal data in accordance with our privacy policy, available at www.Lazy Ledgers.com/about/terms/privacy.
What charges apply? We charge for provision of the Services generally, but do not charge a premium for use of any account information services. In some cases, Your payment service provider may charge their own fee for providing transaction information. Where that’s the case, the fee will either be invoiced by the payment service provider directly to You, or we will collect the fee from You and pass that through to the payment service provider. Check out Lazy Ledgers Central to see if Your payment service provider charges a fee for provision of transaction information.
How do I stop using them? You can stop using account information services at any time by following the withdrawal method prescribed by Your payment service provider. You may still use the Services without the account information services.
Accuracy
Any transaction information imported into Your Lazy Ledgers account will be a reflection of the transaction information held with Your payment service provider (e.g., the information held in your online banking transactions). We aren’t responsible for any inaccuracy or incompleteness of this information.
Liability
For the purposes of these additional terms relating to the account information services, our maximum aggregate liability to You arising out of or in connection with the unauthorised disclosure of Your sensitive payment data, where sensitive payment data is used to commit fraud, shall be limited to two times the fees paid by You to us in the preceding 12 months. Otherwise, the liability limitations in the Agreement will apply to the account information services in the normal way as part of the Services.
Communications under the PSRs
As a technology company, we prefer to communicate with you online. If we are required to communicate with You under the PSRs, we will:
a. Communicate general messages with a notification on the Website; and
b. Communicate messages specific to You, including in the event of actual or suspected fraud, to the email address provided by You during the registration process.
These additional terms applying to account information services are concluded in English and all information and notifications under these additional terms will also be in English.
Definitions
“Consolidated information” means a form of information created using Your transaction information, as part of the account information service.
“Payment account” means an account that is used for the execution of payment transactions, such as a current account.
“Payment service provider” means an entity which provides payment services as set out in the PSRs (e.g., a bank).
“Sensitive payment data” means Your information that could be reasonably used to carry out fraud, including Your personalised security credentials (but excluding, in relation to Your payment account(s), the name of the account holder and the account number).
“Transaction information” means the information We access from Your payment account(s) concerning Your payment transactions.
