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.

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 these Terms, 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 App or Website.

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 OF SERVICE BY USING THE FLEX SERVICE 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.

Your payment authorization will remain in full force and effect until you notify us that you wish to revoke your authorization, a minimum of three (3) business days before the scheduled date of transfer, in writing to [email protected]. If we do not receive notice at least 3 business days before the next scheduled debit, we may attempt, in our sole discretion, to cancel the next transaction. However, we assume no responsibility for our failure to do so. Please note that revoking this authorization will not cancel any payment that is initiated before your revocation becomes effective.
You may revoke this authorization at any time by contacting our Customer Service center at [email protected]. Any notice of revocation must be received at least three (3) business days prior to the next scheduled payment due date to avoid the next scheduled payment from being automatically debited from your account. If you revoke this authorization, you understand that you will be responsible for making your payments by another payment method.
Revoking payment authorization does not cancel your membership; however, you may cancel your membership in accordance with the Terms and Conditions by writing to [email protected]. Please see the Terms and Conditions for additional information, available at https://getflex.com/terms.
