2. How Flex will serve you.
2.1. The Flex Services.
2.1.1. Description: The Flex Services enable you to pay your rent through a line of credit issued by Lead Bank (a “Line of Credit”).
2.1.2 Charges & Cancellation. By using the Flex Services, you agree to pay all interest, charges, and fees associated therewith, including, but not limited to a finance charge based on your use of the Line of Credit, as disclosed in your applicable Line of Credit Truth in Lending Disclosure, as well as your billing statement (your finance charge is calculated by taking a monthly periodic rate and multiplying it by your balance). If these charges change, Flex will update this Agreement pursuant to Section 1.2. Your access to a Line of Credit is subject to your being a user of the Flex Services in good standing. If you do not pay the charges, you may be unable to access the Flex Services and a Line of Credit to pay your rent. You may terminate your use of the Flex Services through your account management features in the mobile application or by contacting us at [email protected] no later than the two (2) days prior to the end of the month in which you wish to cancel.

You understand that your Security Deposit funds are subject to significant transfer and withdrawal limitations.
2.2 Additional Tools.

Examples of such tools may include financial calculators, customized financial analyses, bill payment reminders, dashboards with information about your debts (including debts you may owe others) and/or assets, and other similar services. Unless we indicate otherwise, these tools will be provided free of charge and are provided exclusively for personal use.
2.2.2. Limitations on Tools: You agree that we may modify the tools or cease making them available to you at any time without notice. We have no obligation to continue to make any particular tool available to you or to do so without charge. If we modify a tool or cease to make a tool available to you, you understand that you may lose access to any information that you may have supplied in connection with your use of the tool and have no rights to obtain such information from us. To the extent that the tools present information regarding financial accounts you may have with other lenders or financial institutions, you understand that the information may not be up to date. Before acting on any such information, you should confirm its accuracy with the lender or financial institution holding the account. There may be times when a tool we offer is unavailable or not properly functioning, and you agree that we have no liability to you if this occurs or in connection with the tools generally. You may need certain hardware or software to utilize the tools, and you understand that your failure or inability to have such hardware or software will result in your not being able to use the tools or some tool functionality. You understand that some tools or some tool functionality may only be available to consumers who have relationships with certain lenders, service providers or financial institutions or who have certain financial products. If you do not have such relationships or products, you understand that you may not be eligible to use a tool or all of its functionality. You agree that we may use information we gather through the tools to market other products and/or services to you, including those of third parties.
2.2.3. Third Party Providers: We may rely on third party providers to assist us in making a tool or other Flex Service available to you. By linking your bank or other account to a tool or Service, you grant us and our third-party providers a license to access and authorize us to access your financial accounts on your behalf, and to gather information about you for the limited purpose of providing you the Tools or related Flex Services. You give us and our third-party providers a limited power of attorney, and appoint us and our third-party providers as your true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent to act on your behalf and access, transmit, and use your information as necessary to provide the tools and other Services, including, but not limited to logging in to your rent payment portal on your behalf, to add and remove a payment method, and to authorize your landlord or property management company to initiate a single or recurring debit of your rent obligation. You agree to the transfer, storage, and processing of your information by these third-party providers in accordance with their respective privacy policies. We have no liability to you for any damages you may suffer as a result of any such third party’s actions or inactions or from inaccurate account information.
2.2.4. Tools are Provided for Informational Purposes Only: Financial information provided to you through the tools is provided for informational purposes only and not a substitute for individualized professional advice. The tools are not intended to provide financial, legal or tax advice, and we are not a financial planner, broker or tax adviser. The tools are intended only to provide general assistance in organizing your finances. Before making any financial decisions or implementing any strategy, you should consider obtaining additional information and advice from your accountant or other financial advisers who are fully aware of your individual circumstances.
2.2.5. Accuracy, Reliability and Timeliness of Information: YOUR USE OF THE TOOLS IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. INFORMATION PROVIDED THROUGH THE TOOLS IS ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY.

By using the Flex Services, you authorize Flex, directly or through third parties, to make any inquiries we consider necessary to validate your identity and to collect information about you in accordance with the Customer Identification Program (CIP) rules implementing Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act and our Privacy Policy. This may include asking you for further information that will allow us to reasonably identify you, requiring you to take steps to confirm ownership of your email address or financial instruments, or verifying your information against third party databases or through other sources. We may also ask you for identifying documents to help us validate your identity. Flex reserves the right to close, suspend, or limit access to your account and/or the Services in the event we are unable to obtain or verify this information.
2.5. Credit Report Authorization and Reporting.
You expressly authorize Flex to obtain consumer reports from consumer reporting agencies about you (1) when you apply for a Line of Credit, (2) periodically throughout the term of your Line of Credit, and (3) periodically in connection with any other services you may obtain from us (including services involving financial management or credit profile tools we may offer). Flex may also obtain follow-up credit reports on you (for example, when we review your account for reactivation, or for a credit line increase). You expressly authorize us to use the information that we obtain from such reports to, among other things, market refinancings and Flex’s current and future products and services to you (both during and after the term of your Line of Credit and the term of any other services you may obtain from us), provide you with other services (including financial management tools and credit profile tools) you may request, make decisions related to the servicing and collection of your account, measure how the Line of Credit you obtained from us impacts your credit, perform other statistical analysis, and share information with you about your credit profile.
You understand that Flex may report positive rent payment history made through Flex and information about your Line of Credit depending on the product you use (such as on-time, late, and missed payments; any defaults; and the fact you paid off or closed your Line of Credit) to one or more national credit bureaus. You also understand that paused accounts may still be reported to consumer reporting agencies as open or active.

This information can include, but is not limited to, (1) property information, (2) rent payment history, (3) failed payments, (4) outstanding rent balance, (5) credit score, and (6) personal information. This information may be used to verify your identity as well as whether you are approved for the Flex Services.
2.7. Collection.
In the event your account is not paid in full, Flex may refer your account to a third-party to collect past due balances. If you are in default, you consent to receive debt collection emails from our debt collection service providers and our agents. You certify that any email address you provide to Flex can be used by Flex and its agents for debt collection communications. If you change your email address, it is your obligation to update your email address with Flex. You agree to allow Flex to send you payment reminders from time-to-time. Such payment reminders may take the form of any available communication.
2.8. Telephone and SMS Communication & Notification.
You expressly consent to receive SMS messages (including text messages) and telephone calls, including prerecorded and artificial voice and autodialed) from us, our agents, representatives, affiliates or anyone calling on our behalf at the specific number(s) you have provided to us, with service-related information or questions about your account or the Flex Service. You certify, warrant and represent that the telephone number you have provided to us is your contact number and not someone else’s. You represent that you are permitted to receive calls and text messages at the telephone number you have provided to us. You agree to promptly alert us whenever you stop using a telephone number. Flex and our agents, representatives, affiliates and anyone calling on our behalf may use such means of communication described in this section even if you will incur costs to receive such phone messages, text messages, e-mails or other means.
Standard mobile, message, or data rates may apply and you are responsible for any such fees. We, our service providers and the wireless carriers are not liable for undelivered or delayed text messages. Please consult your wireless provider with any questions about your text or data plan. We may modify or terminate our SMS messaging services from time to time, for any reason, and without notice, including the right to terminate SMS messaging with or without notice, without liability to you. Flex reserves the right to close or limit access to your account and immediately collect all due amounts if you withdraw your consent to receive electronic or other communications or if you revoke access to any third party site on which the Flex Service relies, or if any such service should revoke or cancel your account on that site.
You agree that these communications are not unsolicited for purposes of any state or federal law, and you understand that this may result in additional mobile, text message, or data charges.
You also understand and agree that Flex may, without further notice or warning and in our discretion, monitor or record telephone conversations you or anyone acting on your behalf has with Flex or its agents for quality control and training purposes or for its own protection. You acknowledge and understand that, while your communications with Flex may be overheard, monitored, or recorded without further notice or warning, not all telephone lines or calls may be recorded by Flex, and Flex does not guarantee that recordings of any particular telephone calls will be retained or retrievable.
Notwithstanding this provision, Flex’s delivery of any disclosures governed by the Flex E-Sign Consent Agreement shall be governed by your consent or withdrawal of consent to receiving such disclosures in electronic form.
2.9. Working with Third Parties.
If you grant express permission to a third party to take specific actions on your behalf, or access particular information about your account, either through your use of the third party’s product or service or through your Flex account, you acknowledge that Flex may disclose the information about your account that is authorized by you to this third party. You also acknowledge that granting permission to a third party to take specific actions on your behalf does not relieve you of any of your responsibilities under this Agreement. Further, you acknowledge and agree that you will not hold Flex responsible for, and will indemnify Flex from, any liability arising from the actions or inactions of this third party in connection with the permissions you grant.
2.10. Payments to Landlords
Flex facilitates rent payments to your designated Payee. You grant Flex a license to access, and direct Flex to retrieve your rent transaction history, rent balance information and/or other information maintained by third-parties with which you have relationships, maintain accounts or engage in financial transactions such as Payees or their rent portals (“Third-Party Account Information”) for purposes of performing the Flex Services. By using the Flex Services, you authorize Flex to access this information maintained by identified third parties on your behalf as your agent, and you expressly authorize such third parties to disclose your information to Flex.
Further, by utilizing the Flex Services, you expressly authorize Flex to facilitate rent payments to such Payees, including through the use of Payees’ designated rent portals. You agree that, pursuant to your agreement with Flex, Flex may apply your funds or loan proceeds to such rent payments, and you authorize Flex to make these payments through these Payee portals as your agent. In providing its services, Flex has no knowledge of, and is not responsible for a violation of any contractual obligations you may have with your Payee, including the Payee’s terms of use.
You acknowledge and agree that you remain the tenant under the lease. Payments made by you will be submitted to Flex, as the Payee’s limited collection agent, solely for the limited purpose of accepting and processing such payments for the Payee. The delivery of payments by you to Flex shall satisfy your payment obligation for the amount of such payment to the Payee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Flex’s ability to provide the Services as described herein is dependent upon your timely provision of funds and related information required by Flex to Flex and you remain fully liable for payment of all amounts due under the lease in the event you fail to timely provide the funds and related information to Flex.
By agreeing to the terms of this Agreement, you are also agreeing that you are responsible for keeping your passwords and usernames for these portals secure, and for keeping those passwords and usernames up to date in the mobile application or Website. Flex does not review the portals or Third-Party Account Information for accuracy, legality or non-infringement, and Flex is not responsible for your Third-Party Account Information or products and services offered by or on third-party sites.

3.8. Feedback You Provide.
If you submit comments, ideas, or feedback to us, you agree that we can use them without any restriction or compensation to you.

5. How Flex will resolve disputes.
5.1. Disputes with Flex.
If a dispute arises between you and Flex, our goal is to provide you with a neutral and cost-effective means of resolving the dispute quickly. In the event of a dispute, we encourage you first to contact Flex at [email protected] to try resolving your problem directly with us.
5.2. Mandatory Arbitration.
THIS SECTION AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS, PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE AGREEING TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS BY USING THE FLEX SERVICES OR THE WEBSITE. Except as explicitly provided in this Agreement, any dispute or claim relating in any way to your visit to the Website, your use of the Flex Services, a product offered or provided by or through the Website or Service, or otherwise arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Services that cannot be resolved directly between you and Flex shall be resolved by non-appearance based binding arbitration, rather than in court. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, this includes any claims based in contract, statute, tort, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory. 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, but an arbitrator can award an individual the same damages and relief as a court and must apply and follow the terms of this Agreement as a court would. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ABSENT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL.
Either you or we can initiate arbitration through the alternative dispute resolution provider the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) pursuant to the then-current Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (the “Consumer Rules”), both of which are available at the AAA website www.adr.org. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. If such costs are determined by the arbitrator to be excessive, Flex will pay all arbitration fees and expenses.
The arbitration shall be conducted by telephone or electronic means and/or shall be solely based on written submissions, the specific manner of which shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration. The arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless the arbitrator determines that an in-person hearing is necessary based on the request of one of the parties and any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. You and Flex 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 and agree to proceed only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. The parties hereby appoint the arbitrator the exclusive power to rule on any challenges to the requirement for the use of alternative dispute resolution process in these terms.
We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to obtain interim or preliminary injunctive relief necessary to protect the rights or property of you or Flex and all of its partners, affiliates, shareholders, employees, and agents of any kind (together, our “Affiliates”).
Except as explicitly provided elsewhere in this Agreement, all claims you bring against Flex must be resolved in accordance with this Section. Any claim filed or brought contrary to this Section shall be considered improperly filed. Should you file a claim contrary to this Section, Flex may recover from you attorneys’ fees and costs up to $1,500 per claim, provided that Flex first has notified you in writing of the improperly filed claim and you have failed to promptly withdraw the claim.
5.3. Restrictions.
You and Flex agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the dispute between Flex and you individually. To the fullest extent permitted by law, (1) no arbitration shall be joined with any other; (2) there is no right or authority for any dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (3) there is no right or authority for any dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.
5.4. Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration.
You and Flex agree that the following disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration: (1) any disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of your or Flex’s intellectual property rights; and (2) any claim for injunctive relief.
6. Other Provisions.

Flex operates and controls the Services from its offices in the United States. Flex makes no representation that the Services are appropriate or available in other locations. The information provided on the Services is not intended for distribution to or use by any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation or which would subject Flex to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country.

Upon Flex’s request, you will furnish Flex any documentation, substantiation or releases necessary to verify your compliance with the terms of this Agreement. You agree that the terms of this Agreement will not be construed against Flex by virtue of having drafted them. You hereby waive any and all defenses you may have based on the electronic form of this Agreement and the lack of signing by the parties hereto to execute this Agreement.
6.2. Enforceability and Governing Law.
The failure of Flex to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement does not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. The terms of this Agreement constitute the entire agreement between you and Flex with regard to your use of the Flex Services and any previous agreement that may exist between you and Flex is hereby superseded. The terms of this Agreement cannot be changed or modified by you except as posted on the Services by Flex. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable, the unenforceable term or provision shall be replaced by an enforceable term or provision that comes closest to the intention underlying the unenforceable term or provision and the remaining provisions shall be enforced. To the extent that anything in or associated with the Services is in conflict or inconsistent with this Agreement, this Agreement shall take precedence. The laws of the State of Delaware govern your access to, and use of, the Services and the terms of this Agreement.
6.3. Intellectual Property.
