1. Acceptance Of Terms. By using this application (other than to read this agreement for the first time), by indicating acceptance of this agreement, by using Valero ValuePay, by signing up for Valero ValuePay, or otherwise using the services, you are entering into this agreement with BIM and agree to comply with these terms and conditions and our privacy policy, available at https://www.bimnetworks.com/privacy/. Any rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by Buy It Mobility Networks Inc.
2. Consent to Electronic Disclosures and Notices; Paper Copies. As part of your relationship with BIM, we want to ensure you have the information you need to effectively manage your Valero ValuePay. We are required by law to give you certain information “in writing,” which means you are entitled to receive it on paper. We may, however, provide some of this information to you electronically, instead, with your prior consent. By accepting this Agreement, you agree and consent to receive electronically all communications, agreements, documents, notices and disclosures (collectively, “Electronic Communications”) that we provide in connection with Valero ValuePay. Electronic Communications include, but are not limited to: (a) agreements and policies you agree to (e.g., this User Terms and Conditions and the applicable Privacy Policies), including updates to these agreements or policies; (b) any periodic disclosures; (c) transaction summaries, confirmations or other information; (d) Valero ValuePay Account history; (e) customer service communications (such as claims of error communications); and (f) promotions, offers, or coupons. We may provide these Electronic Communications to you by emailing them to you at the primary email address listed in your Valero ValuePay Account, or by making them accessible in the Valero ValuePay app. Communications will be provided online and viewable using in-app display features, browser software or .pdf files. In such cases, you will be able to print the Electronic Communication and/or have it emailed to you.
Electronic communications will be deemed received by you within 24 hours of the time such communication is posted or sent to you. You agree that if we send you an Electronic Communication but you do not receive it because your primary email address on file is incorrect, out of date, blocked by your service provider, or you are otherwise unable to receive Electronic Communications, we will be deemed to have provided the Electronic Communication to you. You may not be able to transact using Valero ValuePay until we receive a valid, working primary email address from you. You may print or save a copy of these Electronic Communications for your records as they may not be accessible online at a later date.
You are responsible for maintaining all software and hardware necessary for receiving, viewing and maintaining record of the Electronic Communications. By your acceptance of this Agreement, you represent that you will maintain all hardware and software necessary to receive, view and maintain (including, but not limited to saving and/or printing) any Electronic Communications provided to you. You must have: (a) a valid email address on file with us; (b) a computer, mobile device, tablet or similar device with internet access and current browser software and computer software that is capable of receiving, accessing, displaying, and either printing or storing Electronic Communications received from us; (c) a current version an internet browser that Valero ValuePay supports; (d) an internet connection; and (e) sufficient storage space to save Electronic Communications (whether presented online, in emails or .pdf) or the ability to print Electronic Communications. We will notify you if there are any material changes to the hardware or software needed to receive Electronic Communications from us.
One copy of any Electronic Communication may be provided to you without charge by contacting BIM within 90 days of the original date of the communication. You may also request paper copies of any electronic communication within 90 days of the communication by contacting BIM at 833-900-1569 or ValeroValuePay@bimnetworks.com, but we reserve the right to assess a reasonable fee for providing such paper copies after 90 days.
You may withdraw your consent to receive Electronic Communications by contacting us at 833-900-1569 or ValeroValuePay@bimnetworks.com. If you fail to provide or if you withdraw your consent to receive Electronic Communications, BIM reserves the right to either deny your application for a Valero ValuePay account, or restrict or close your Valero ValuePay account.
3. Description of the Service. Upon completion of the Enrollment Application (\"Application\") and acceptance by BIM, you will become eligible to use Valero ValuePay, powered by BIM. Your Valero ValuePay account is not a bank account. BIM is not a bank, and does not offer banking or money service business (\"MSB\") services as those terms are defined by the United States Department of Treasury. The Services allow merchants, from whom you buy goods or services, to directly debit your bank account as payment for goods and services.
4. Enrollment Requirements. To use Valero ValuePay or engage in any of the other BIM Services, you must create and register an account with us. If you register as a Customer or otherwise use Valero ValuePay, you represent and warrant to BIM that: (i) you are 18 or older; (ii) you have provided a valid and functional email address which is owned and operated by you; (iii) your registration and use of the Service is not prohibited by law; (iv) the account with your mobile service provider for the mobile device on which you are using Valero ValuePay is current and in good standing; (v) you will not use Valero ValuePay outside of the United States or Puerto Rico, for international transfers, or for any transaction requiring payment in foreign currency; and (vi) you have provided true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Application (such information being the \"Enrollment Data\") and maintain and promptly update such information to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or if BIM has reasonable grounds to suspect that such data is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, BIM has the right to suspend or terminate your registration, or your access to the Service and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service (or any portion thereof). By enrolling in and using the Service, in addition to the terms of this Agreement, you agree to comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations. You will maintain the security of your account, take responsibility for all activities that occur using your account, and accept all risks of unauthorized access resulting from your acts or omissions. You shall not share your phone, password, PIN or any of your credentials used for BIM Services nor use the Service through using the registration of any third party. Your registration, and this Agreement, is personal to you, and is not transferrable by you to any third party without the prior written consent of BIM.
You further represent that you will create and/or use only one checking account, and are thereby entitled to the benefits of only one Valero ValuePay Account when using the BIM Payment or Service(s). This checking account must be a consumer account. Any creation of additional Valero ValuePay Account(s) shall be considered a violation of this Agreement. By registering for BIM, you hereby agree to all fees and penalties that may be applied to your Valero ValuePay Account in the event BIM deems your use of the Valero ValuePay as a violation of this Agreement, or in any way against the intended purpose or interest of the Services, as well as immediate termination of your Valero ValuePay Account(s). You understand and agree that BIM may so choose to employ a collection agency or other business in an effort to collect any outstanding debts or fees associated with your account, and you will not contest the use of a third party to collect the fees owed to BIM.
You agree that you will be responsible for any legal, court, or collection agency fees associated with rectifying your Valero ValuePay Account and all monies owed thereunder. You agree that BIM, or any agency or business employed by BIM, has the right to contact you via telephone, email or in-person using the information you provided upon registration or during any contact with BIM, in an effort to collect any monies and fees owed under your account, whether specifically referenced in this Section or not, and such contact may be made in a manual or automated fashion.
4.1 Compatible Mobile Device Operating System; Mobile Devices Generally. In order to use Valero ValuePay at a point of sale terminal, you must have a compatible mobile device operating system that meets the specifications established by BIM in its sole discretion. Compatible mobile device operating systems may be established by BIM from time to time, but as of the effective date of this Agreement, compatible mobile device operating systems include Apple iOS and Android operating systems. A mobile device that has been modified contrary to the manufacturer’s or mobile service provider’s software or hardware guidelines, including, but not limited to, disabling hardware or software controls (e.g. “jailbreaking”), is not a compatible device with Valero ValuePay for purposes of this Agreement. The use of any modified mobile device with Valero ValuePay is a violation of this Agreement and is grounds for the immediate termination of your Valero ValuePay account, by BIM without notice to you, in BIM’s sole discretion. You understand and agree you are still subject to the terms and conditions of any agreement you have with any mobile service provider (e.g. AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile, etc.) or any app store or marketplace for Valero ValuePay (e.g. Apple, Inc., or Google, Inc. (Android)), and this Agreement does not amend or supersede any of those separate agreements. You understand that such services may provide for fees, charges, limitations and restrictions which might impact your use of Valero ValuePay (e.g. data use charges, etc.), and you agree to be solely responsible for all such fees, charges, limitations and restrictions. You agree that only your mobile service provider is responsible for the performance and operation of its products and services, including your mobile device and the mobile service provider’s own network. You agree to resolve any problems with your mobile service provider without involving BIM, Apple, Inc., Google, Inc. (Android), or any other operator of an app store or marketplace. You must comply with applicable third party terms when using Valero ValuePay (e.g. you cannot be in violation of your wireless provider agreement when using Valero ValuePay.)
5. Enrollee Authorizations. When enrolling in Valero ValuePay, you are authorizing BIM, authorized vendors, and designees to verify your identity, verify your bank account, verify your equipment, and confirm you are the owner of the bank account that you would like to use. This may include asking you for further information and/or documentation about your account usage or identity, or requiring you to take steps to confirm ownership of your email address, wireless/cellular telephone number or financial instruments, and verifying your information against third party databases or through other sources. This process is for identity verification purposes.
There are two ways of verifying your bank information: Instant Account Verification which uses methods such as entering your banking credentials from participating banks or providing information about your mobile account or, alternatively, BIM can apply one or more challenge deposit/withdrawal transactions to a checking account you specify and subsequently ask you to verify those transaction amounts. Where applicable, when enrolling using one of the Instant Account Verification options:
(i) You authorize your wireless operator (AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, US Cellular, Verizon, or any other branded wireless operator) to disclose your mobile number, name, address, email and ACH or credit card information, if available, to BIM to allow verification of your identity and to autofill this form with your mobile operator account profile and payment information. BIM will store your information throughout the tenure of our business relationship or until you edit or delete your payment credentials from your account profile. See our Privacy Policy for how we treat your data.
(ii) You also hereby grant BIM or its authorized vendor(s) a limited power of attorney, and you hereby appoint BIM and its authorized vendor(s) as your true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent, with full power of substitution and re-substitution, for you and in your name, place and stead, in any and all capacities, to access third party internet sites, servers or documents, retrieve information, and use your information, all as described above, with the full power and authority to do and perform each and every act and thing requisite and necessary to be done in connection with such activities, as fully to all intents and purposes as you might or could do in person. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT WHEN BIM OR ITS AUTHORIZED VENDOR(S) ACCESSES AND RETRIEVES INFORMATION FROM THIRD PARTY SITES, BIM AND/OR ITS AUTHORIZED VENDOR(S) ARE ACTING AS YOUR AGENT, AND NOT THE AGENT OR ON BEHALF OF Valero ValuePay OR ANY THE THIRD PARTY. You agree that third party account providers shall be entitled to rely on the foregoing authorization, agency and power of attorney granted by you.
(iii) You understand and agree that the methods by which BIM will verify you and your information through Instant Account Verification are not endorsed or sponsored by any third party account providers used in the process. You are licensing to BIM or its authorized vendor(s) any information, data, passwords, materials or other content (collectively, “Content”) you provide or that is obtained on your behalf through or to the verification process. BIM or its authorized vendor(s) may use, modify, display, distribute and create new material using such Content during the verification process or in providing Valero ValuePay. By submitting Content, you automatically agree, without any time limit, and without the payment of any fees, BIM or its authorized vendor(s) may use the Content during the verification and enrollment process, and use and store the information in order to provide Valero ValuePay to you. As between BIM or its authorized vendor(s), BIM owns your confidential account information. You agree not to reverse engineer or reverse compile any of the service technology, including but not limited to, any Java applets associated with the verification or enrollment process.
Additionally, BIM may share data with third parties to verify your identity and authenticate information presented during enrollment. This may include sharing data to prevent actual or potential fraud or fraudulent activity. You are also expressly authorizing BIM or BIM\'s authorized vendor(s) the right, power and authority to (acting on your behalf) store, access and transmit your personal and financial information (such as from your bank) as reasonably necessary for BIM to provide Valero ValuePay to you. You also are authorizing BIM or BIM\'s authorized vendor(s) to access information from third parties to prevent fraud or fraudulent activity. See BIM’s Privacy Policy for how BIM treats your data.
By agreeing to this Agreement, you are authorizing BIM, its merchants, third party payment processors or other authorized vendors, and designees, to initiate Automated Clearing House (ACH) debit and credit entries to your account at the depository institution designated in the Application and to debit or credit such account on behalf of Valero ValuePay or for the verification of your checking account. You can only use this service to pay for goods and services purchased at authorized merchants. You understand that ACH transactions may take several days to post to your bank account. When you conduct this type of transaction, you are responsible for ensuring that the funds are available at the time the transaction is conducted and processed (posts) to your account. You acknowledge that the origination of ACH transactions to your account must comply with the provisions of U.S. law. You also authorize BIM and its authorized vendors and designees to provide transaction history information to Valero ValuePay.
If you enroll in Valero ValuePay, you represent and warrant that you have authority to make withdrawals from and otherwise authorize debits and credits to your checking account designated in the Application. In the event that your bank does not allow electronic transactions, you authorize us or our authorized vendor(s) or designee(s) to convert the electronic transaction data to a paper draft for presentment to your bank. If any payment is returned for any reason (including NSF, Account Closed/Frozen, stop payment, etc.), you agree to pay BIM or its designee the amount of any ACH which is returned, plus the amount of the returned ACH fee and sales tax, as applicable per state law. Returned ACHs may be electronically re-presented to your bank for collection by BIM or its designee and will be debited by ACH from your account, without further notice, which procedures you authorize. You also agree to pay BIM or its Designee a service charge for each ACH returned for any reason, equal to an amount up to the maximum fee under applicable state law or, if there is no maximum established by applicable state law, $35, which amount the you agree is a reasonable minimum service charge. You also authorize the automatic debiting of such service charges by ACH from your account.
This fee is separate from any fees that your bank may impose for such returns. We may share data with third parties to verify your identity and the validity of the data presented during enrollment. By accepting this Agreement, you are authorizing us or our authorized vendor(s) to access information from third parties to verify your identity and to prevent fraud and to authenticate information used to subscribe to Valero ValuePay in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
6. Our Privacy Policy. This Agreement and your submission of data through enrollment, and use of Valero ValuePay are governed by our Privacy Policy (the terms of which are incorporated herein). In certain circumstances, we may be collecting and securely storing some of your personally identifying information, including your location and Geographic Information Systems (“GIS”) data. Please review the Privacy Policy to learn more about how we hold or may use your personal information. We urge you to read this policy now and revisit it later at your convenience, because the policy is updated from time to time. To the extent there is a conflict between the terms of the Privacy Policy and these Terms, these Terms govern.

9. Service
(a) Through Valero ValuePay, BIM can be used as a method of payment for goods or services offered by merchants, and/or for access to coupons, discount program(s), and/or or marketing communications. You must have registered with us to engage Valero ValuePay and/or available promotions. When you engage in Valero ValuePay or Promotions, you are bound by this Agreement and any other program-specific Terms.
(b) Any coupon or discount program is specific to the issuer and/or merchant, and (unless otherwise noted therein) any corresponding Promotions (defined hereinafter) may not be used for goods and services from any other issuer and/or merchant. The issuer is solely responsible for all aspects of the coupons and/or discount program, honoring the coupons and/or discount program’s rewards and/or incentives (individually or collectively “Promotions”), any liabilities, injuries, losses or damages you may suffer in connection with the use of the coupons or discount program, and any unclaimed property liability arising from unredeemed Promotions, or any portion thereof. You acknowledge that BIM is not responsible for redeeming Promotions, or for any matter relating to the coupons or discount program or the Service in general.
(c) The Service is subject to the following conditions:
i. Any fraudulent use of Valero ValuePay or promotions in violation of this Agreement or any other applicable terms renders the payment void. The BIM Payment and Promotion are void to the extent prohibited by law.
ii. Unless expressly allowed by the merchant, Promotions cannot be combined with any other offers, certificates or promotions.
iii. Promotions may only be applied to goods or services sold by the merchant, and may not be applied to delivery, processing or handling fees. The Promotion may not be applied to gratuities, tax, or (unless expressly permitted by the merchant) alcoholic beverages.
iv. Other than as provided below, the Promotion is only available only until the expiration date specified within the Service, or within the Promotion itself, or until issuer and/or merchant cancels the Promotion. However, some laws may require that Promotions have certain validity periods or require that Promotions not expire. If those laws apply, BIM will honor your legal entitlement to, as applicable, a credit for goods or services from the merchant beyond the expiration date. If such laws apply, you should contact BIM and request a credit or refund by emailing us at service@bimnetworks.com.
v. If the merchant permits use of Promotions for alcoholic beverages, some state laws may limit the redemption of Promotions for alcoholic beverages. The Promotions are valid only to the extent redemption is permitted by law. In addition, you acknowledge that BIM and merchants may offer some Promotions only to customers in certain age brackets, and you will not use any Promotion if you are not a member of the appropriate age bracket. The issuer and/or merchant is responsible for compliance with applicable laws with respect to the BIM Payment and issuance and redemption of the Promotion.
10. Third Party Websites. The mobile application may contain links to third-party websites. The linked sites are not under our control, and we are not responsible for the contents of any linked site. We provide these links as a convenience only, and a link does not imply endorsement of, sponsorship of, or affiliation with the linked site by BIM. You should make whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any transaction with any of these third parties.
11. Ideas Submitted to Us. We are pleased to hear from you and welcome your comments about Valero ValuePay.

11.1 TCPA Disclosure/User Permission for Text Messaging/Alerts, Push Notifications and E-Mail. You grant BIM express written consent to receiving autodialed and prerecorded message calls, text messages or push notification alerts from BIM, or those Third Party Services providers acting on BIM’s behalf, at any mobile telephone number you provide to BIM, regardless of your registration of your mobile device number on any state or federal “do not call” registry. Your express, written permission applies to messages and alerts regarding Valero ValuePay and any additional Services that BIM provides. By providing your email address to BIM, you agree that BIM, or those Third Party Services providers acting on BIM’s behalf, may e-mail you Valero ValuePay account registration information, account electronic transaction summaries and related information, and Valero ValuePay use information with regard to Valero ValuePay, customer service, in the case of fraud/suspected fraud inquiries, consumer dispute resolution, collections, or any other action related to providing Valero ValuePay to you regardless of your registration of your email address on any state or federal “do not email” registry. With regard to any text messages, alerts or email relating to Valero ValuePay, BIM will not include any full account numbers, access codes or similar non-public personal information in such message
12. Our Liability for Failure to Complete Transactions. If we do not complete a transfer from your account in the correct amount according with our agreement with you, we may be liable for your direct damages. However, there are some exceptions. To the extent allowed by law, we, Valero ValuePay and the merchants, will not be liable for consequential damages (including lost profits), extraordinary damages, special or punitive damages. We, and the merchants, will not be liable, for instance:
(a) If, through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money in your account to make the transfer;
(b) If a merchant refuses to accept your Valero ValuePay account;
(c) If an electronic terminal where you are making a transaction does not operate properly;
(d) If access to your account has been blocked after you reported your phone or other account access device or credentials are lost or stolen;
(e) If there is a hold or the funds in your account are subject to legal process or other encumbrance restricting their use;
(f) If we have reason to believe the requested transaction is unauthorized;
(g) If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire, flood or computer or communication failure) prevent the completion of the transaction, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken.
Except for any other remedy described herein, your sole and exclusive remedy, and BIM’s and Valero ValuePay’s sole and exclusive liability, for any breach of this Agreement or for any other cause of action shall be (at BIM’s option) to remedy the failure or to give a credit to you of the amount owed.
13. Warranty, Limitation. BIM does not warrant that Valero ValuePay or BIM Property will operate error-free or without downtime. We may pause or interrupt Valero ValuePay at any time, and users should expect periodic downtime for updates to Valero ValuePay. Because we do not control the security of the Internet, or other networks you use, BIM is not responsible for the security of information that you choose to communicate with BIM or the merchant while it is being transmitted. Additionally, BIM is not responsible for any data lost during transmission.
