ACH General Terms and Conditions 

The ACH Services are performed by Landus in accordance with the rules of the National Automated Clearing House Association (“NACHA”) as such rules are amended from time to time.

This service is established solely for your convenience. You understand and agree that this service may be amended, changed, modified or terminated at any time without prior notice by Landus. Your continued use of the ACH Service constitutes your acceptance of any such amendment, change or modification, as the case may be.

You also acknowledge and agree that this authorization will continue until terminated by any owner of the Bank Account(s) by written notification to Landus. Termination will be effective as soon as Landus has had reasonable time to act after receipt of such notification, which could take up to seven (7) business days to accomplish. You acknowledge that you are authorized to enter into this ACH Agreement and to electronically transfer funds between your Bank Account(s) and Landus, whether such Bank Account(s) are owned individually or jointly. 

Fees and Costs 

Landus may charge a fee in accordance with our fee schedule, as amended from time to time, for providing the ACH Service and/or for each ACH transfer. Landus may also charge a fee should any ACH transfer be rejected by the transferring Third-Party Institution for any reason, including but not limited to, a closed account or an account with insufficient funds at the Third-Party Institution.

You agree to release Landus and their respective affiliates, employees, officers, directors, agents and representatives in the event that Landus makes an error which underpays or overpays your account. 

Reversals

You authorize Landus to debit or credit your account(s), as necessary, to correct any error in accordance with Landus’ procedures for such error correction, as may be amended from time to time.

I/We hereby request that Landus establish on my behalf at the bank named in this request as an authorized bank profile for the purpose of making electronic transfers into or withdrawals from my account at Landus. These transfers may include one-time or recurring instructions. These instructions will remain in full force and effect until Landus has received prompt written or online notification from me (or either of us) of its termination in such time and manner as to afford Lands and your bank, a reasonable time to act upon it.
