6. Mobile Banking Services
6.1 Overview. IDT offers a suite of mobile banking Services and features through the App, including the ability to open a cash management account (“CMA”) and to obtain a virtual and/or physical debit card (“Debit Card”). When you open a CMA and/or obtain a Debit Card you will be able to use the Services through the App to manage your account and card, view your transaction history, perform certain transactions, and access various features of your account and card. IDT may offer the Services by way of one or more subscription based individual or group plans (each a “Plan”). Each Plan may have a different set of Service features, transaction limits, eligibility requirements, billing cycle and/or pricing structures. IDT may change a Plan’s features, transaction limits, eligibility requirements, billing cycle and/or pricing at any time. IDT reserves the right to add, discontinue and/or terminate a Plan at any time. Your ability to use a discontinued Plan will expire at the end of your Plan’s next billing cycle. IDT reserves the right to not sell a Plan, or to not renew a Plan, to a consumer who is abusing the Plan or using it in a way that overburdens IDT’s network or that could damage IDT’s business. Plan purchases are not refundable. You can manage your Plan in the App, including changing to a different Plan. For a description of each Plan, including Service features, transaction limits, eligibility requirements, billing cycle and pricing structures, visit https://elroy.app/plans.
6.2 Cash Management Account. Through the App you can open a CMA. The CMA is interest bearing if you have a social security number (SSN) or individual tax identification number (ITIN) and is provided through Synapse Brokerage, an SEC-registered broker-dealer and member of FINRA and SIPC. The CMA, and any transactions you make in your CMA, including those initiated through the App, are governed by the Synapse Terms of Service and other applicable Synapse documents referenced in Section 2.2 of this Agreement. The cash balance maintained in a Synapse Brokerage Cash Management Program is held at one or more Program Banks. The deposit at Program Banks is not covered by Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC). The deposit is eligible for FDIC insurance subject to FDIC insurance coverage limits. All FDIC insurance coverage is in accordance with FDIC rules. See your applicable account agreements and the Synapse Terms of Service for further details. For more information about FDIC insurance coverage, please visit the FDIC website at www.FDIC.gov or call 877-ASK-FDIC. The Program Bank(s) participating in a Synapse cash management program can be found in the List of Program Banks. The App will allow you to access the CMA and perform the following transactions:
view your balance;
view your transaction history for at least the last 90 days;

send payments to pay your bills and other expenses through the Bill Payment feature.
6.3 Debit Card. Through the App you can obtain a virtual and/or physical Debit Card. The Debit Card associated with your CMA is a debit card issued by American State Bank or Evolve Bank & Trust (as applicable the “Bank”) pursuant to a license from Mastercard®. Mastercard® is a registered trademark of Mastercard International Incorporated. The Debit Card and any transactions you make with your Debit Card, including those initiated through the App, are governed by the Synapse Terms of Service and the applicable cardholder agreement referenced in Section 2.2 of this Agreement. The Debit Card may be used everywhere Mastercard® debit cards are accepted. The App will allow you to access the virtual Debit Card and perform the following transactions:
freeze your Debit Card if you misplace it to prevent it from being used; and

6.5 Peer to Peer Transfers. The Peer-to-Peer service allows you to send funds or receive funds for peer-to-peer personal, non-commercial purposes. Any funds you receive via the Peer-to-Peer service will be stored in your CMA. All Peer-to-Peer transfers are final and will not be reversed or refunded.
6.6 Check Deposit/Remote Deposit Capture. You can remotely deposit paper checks into your CMA by electronically transmitting a digital image of the paper checks to IDT for deposit. Please check that your mobile device meets or exceeds the hardware requirements listed in Section 4. Upon receipt of the image, IDT and/or, Synapse will review the image for acceptability. IDT or Synapse may, in our or their sole discretion, accept or reject any item for remote deposit into the CMA. Any image of a check must accurately and legibly provide all required information on the front and back of the check at the time presented. Prior to capturing the check, you must endorse it on the back. Any amount credited to your CMA using remote deposit is a provisional credit. This feature is governed by the Synapse Terms of Service and other applicable Synapse documents referenced in Section 2.2 of this Agreement.
6.7 Bill Payment. You will be able to pay certain bills of certain providers with the funds in your CMA. Payments made with the Bill Payment feature are governed by the Synapse Terms of Service and other applicable Synapse documents referenced in Section 2.2 of this Agreement. Certain transaction limitations may apply to these payments. Please refer to the Synapse Terms of Service and other applicable Synapse documents referenced in Section 2.2 of this Agreement for additional terms, conditions and limitations for this feature.
6.8 Account Information. The account information that you access through the Services will generally be current as of the business day you access the information, unless another time is specified.

By using the Services, you agree and authorize IDT and Synapse to act on any transaction or instruction we receive under your Login ID.

there is money in your CMA but it is subject to legal process or other encumbrance restricting a transfer or payment;
you do not give complete or correct instructions when requesting a transaction;
you do not follow the procedures established in this Agreement or any other agreement you have with us, Synapse and/or or the Bank;

The Synapse Terms of Service and other applicable Synapse documents referenced in Section 2.2 of this Agreement may contain other exceptions.

Please refer to those agreements for information concerning any limitations that may apply to these transfers and payments. IDT reserves the right to cancel or suspend transactions due to fraud or compliance related concerns.

To use the Services IDT may be required to retrieve your account transaction history, balance information, and/or other information maintained by third-parties with which you have relationships, maintain accounts or engage in financial transactions, including information maintained by Synapse and the Bank for your CMA and your Debit Card (collectively, “Third-Party Account Information”). To access this Third-Party Account Information, we may work with one or more third-party service providers, including Plaid Inc. (“Plaid”). By using the Services, you grant IDT and Plaid the right, power and authority to access and transmit your Third-Party Account Information maintained by identified third parties, on your behalf as your agent, and you expressly authorize such third parties to disclose your information to us. You acknowledge that any Third-Party Account Information that is displayed through the Services will be the information we most recently accessed, and that this information may not reflect pending transactions or other recent activity. We will use this information to provide you with the Services you request, for our own internal business purposes and to offer you other IDT products and services that may be of interest to you. By agreeing to this Agreement, you are also agreeing that you are responsible for keeping any passwords and usernames you provide to us so we can retrieve this Third-Party Account Information secure, and for keeping those passwords and usernames up to date in the App. With the exception of information related to your CMA or Debit Card, IDT does not review the Third-Party Account Information for accuracy, legality or non-infringement, and IDT is not responsible for your Third-Party Account Information or products and services offered by or on third-party sites. You agree to your Third-Party Account Information being transferred, stored, and processed by Plaid in accordance with the Plaid Privacy Policy located at https://plaid.com/legal/.
7.2 Linking Bank Accounts. If enabled you may link an account with us or an external account at a third-party financial institution (a “Linked Account”) for online transfers between your Linked Accounts and your CMA. You can create a Linked Account through the App. We will need to verify each Linked Account and your control of each Linked Account. All Linked Accounts must be with financial institutions in the United States. We may decline the use of any Linked Account that we believe may present a risk to you and/or us. By linking an external account to your CMA, and by subsequently logging into your Linked Account through the App, you authorize us to view your account history and profile, including, but not limited to, your account and routing details, authentication details, balance, transaction history, contact information, and other related information made available by such external financial institution; and you understand this information may be used to transact on your behalf and perform other services subject to our Privacy Policy. When adding a Linked Account, you represent and warrant that you are owner of and have the right to access, use and authorize us to use the account for information and funds transfer purposes. If any of your Linked Accounts has a joint account holder, you represent and warrant that the joint account holder has consented for you to represent both you and them, and to use the Linked Account with the App. If you do not have such consent, you should not use that external account and we will terminate your use of the linking service if we are notified of such a situation. If you close any of your Linked Accounts, you are responsible for removing it as an account eligible for the linking service to avoid any transaction failure and possible charges related to a failed transaction. We are not responsible for any acts or omissions by the external financial institution or other provider of any Linked Account, including, without limitation, any modification, interruption, or discontinuance of any Linked Account by such financial institution.
7.3 Synapse Terms. Transfers between your CMA and a Linked Account are governed by the Synapse Terms of Service and other applicable Synapse documents referenced in Section 2.2 of this Agreement. Certain transaction limitations may apply to Linked Account transfers.
8. Communications

Our Services can only be provided by conducting business through the internet, and that means that when you use the App or our Services you will receive from time-to time disclosures, notices, documents, and other communications (collectively, “Communications”) about the Services, the App and/or IDT. That is why we need you to consent to receive Communications electronically, and this section informs you of your rights when receiving these Communications from us. By accepting to this Agreement, you agree that electronic Communications shall be considered “in writing” and have the same meaning and effect as if provided in paper form, unless you have withdrawn your consent to receive Communications electronically as stated below. You agree that we have no obligation to provide you Communications in paper format, although we reserve the right to do so at any time.

You may withdraw your consent to receive all Communications electronically (except for in-App messages from IDT) at any time.

You will also need a valid email address, sufficient storage space to save Communications or the capability to print the Communications from the device on which you view them. If you withdraw your consent, we reserve the right to limit or close your CMA. If you withdraw your consent, the legal validity and enforceability of prior Communications delivered in electronic form will not be affected.
8.2 Consent to Receive Certain Messages. IDT uses SMS/MMS messages (including text messages), telephone calls (including prerecorded and artificial voice and autodialed calls), and in-App messages (including push notifications) to contact our users with service-related information or questions about the use of our Services and/or the App. You consent to receive these types of messages and telephone calls from us, our agents, representatives, affiliates or anyone calling on our behalf at the specific numbers you have provided to us and represent that the telephone numbers you have provided to us are your contact numbers and not someone else’s. Your consent to receive these types of messages and calls includes both informational and marketing messages and calls.

IDT does not make any warranties, claims or representations to you or to any third party, whether express, implied or statutory, regarding the App (or any content therein), the Website (or any content therein), the Services, the platform and network services underlying the Services or any IDT product associated with the Services, including, without limitation, warranties or conditions of quality, performance, suitability, durability, title, non-infringement, merchantability, completeness of fitness for use for a particular purpose. All such warranties are hereby expressly excluded and disclaimed and you hereby waive and release IDT from all such warranties of any nature. Without limiting the foregoing, IDT makes no warranty or representation that the App, Website or the Services will always be available, accessible, uninterrupted, timely, secure, accurate, complete or error free or free of viruses or other harmful components or that any defects will be corrected. IDT may choose not to provide the App, Website or particular Services in or to certain jurisdictions within the United States or other countries in its sole discretion. IDT does not provide the connection from your Device to our network. We do not authorize anyone, including but not limited to IDT agents and employees, to make any warranties on our behalf and you should not rely on any such statements. Because some jurisdictions do not permit the exclusion of certain warranties, these exclusions may not apply to you. For the purposes of this paragraph, “IDT” includes our parent companies, subsidiaries, successors and affiliates and all their respective directors, officers, agents, employees, licensors, and suppliers (including any payment card networks and payment processors). This provision will continue to remain in force after this Agreement expires or is terminated.
10.2 No Legal, Tax or Financial Advice; Alerts. IDT does not intend to provide you with any legal, tax or financial advice through the App, Website or Services. IDT encourages you to consult an accountant or other financial advisor before implementing any financial strategy or making financial decisions. IDT will make reasonable efforts to provide timely and accurate alerts to you, but you acknowledge and understand that alerts may be delayed or prevented for various reasons. IDT does not guarantee the delivery, accuracy or timeliness of alerts, and IDT shall not be liable for any errors in the delivery or content of an alert. IDT shall not be liable for any action you take, or do not take, in reliance on alerts.
10.3 Indemnification. You agree to indemnify, release and hold IDT harmless from any and all liabilities, losses, damages or claims of any kind resulting from or arising out of your (a) use of the App, Website or the Services, and the content therein, other than as a result of our gross negligence, (b) breach of this Agreement or any document incorporated herein, (c) violation of another person’s or entity’s rights, and/or (d) any dispute or issue between you and a third party. This section will survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement. For the purposes of this paragraph, “IDT” includes our parent companies, subsidiaries, successors and affiliates and all their respective directors, officers, agents, employees, licensors, and suppliers (including any payment card networks and payment processors). New Jersey consumers and prospective consumers: this section is unenforceable or inapplicable to you.

IDT is not liable to you or to any third party for any costs, liabilities or damages arising either directly or indirectly from any cause, action or claim relating to the App, Website, Services or the network services underlying the Services, including without limitation any personal injury, actual, incidental, consequential, exemplary, punitive, reliance or special damages, or for any claims for loss of revenue, lost profits, lost use, data, or goodwill or for lost business opportunities of any kind or nature whatsoever. These limitations apply even if the damages were foreseeable or we were told that they were possible, and these limitations apply whether the claim is based upon contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal or equitable theory. IDT is not liable for failures, outages, interruptions, equipment failures or acts or omissions of third parties regarding or related to the App, Website or Services. IDT will not be liable for any damages if the network services underlying the Services are interrupted, or if there is a problem with the interconnection of the App or the Services with the service, products or equipment of some other party. This section will survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement. If you are dissatisfied with the App or Services, then your sole and exclusive remedy is to discontinue use of the Services. Because some jurisdictions do not permit these exclusions or limitations, IDT’s liability in such jurisdictions shall be limited to the extent permitted by law. New Jersey consumers and prospective consumers: this section is unenforceable or inapplicable to you. For the purposes of this paragraph, “IDT” includes our parent companies, subsidiaries, successors and affiliates and all their respective directors, officers, agents, employees, licensors, and suppliers (including any payment card networks and payment processors).

Telephone: 973-438-1000
Email: support@elroy.app
10.8 Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, United States, without regard to its choice of law rules, and those laws will apply no matter where you reside, or where you use the App or the Services.
10.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and IDT regarding the App, Website and Services and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, statements or proposals, and representations, whether written or oral between you and IDT regarding the same. No written or oral statement, advertisement or service or product description not expressly contained in this Agreement or in the App or Website will be allowed to contradict, explain, or supplement these terms. You acknowledge that you are not relying on any representations or statements made by IDT that is not included in this Agreement. If any part of this Agreement is found invalid, the rest of this Agreement will remain valid and enforceable, and the invalid provision shall automatically be replaced by a lawful provision with the same or similar intent. The failure by IDT to exercise, or delay in exercising, a legal right or remedy provided by this Agreement or by law shall not constitute a waiver of IDT’s right or remedy. If IDT waives a breach of this Agreement by you, the waiver shall not operate as a waiver of a subsequent breach by you.
10.10 Disputes; Arbitration. Please read this section carefully as it limits your rights if there is a dispute between us.
(a) Both you and IDT agree to waive our rights to sue in court and have disputes resolved in court by a judge or jury. Instead, each party agrees to first contact the other party with any dispute and to provide a written description of the problem and any proposed resolution. If we can’t resolve the dispute, then either party can submit the dispute to arbitration.
(b) You and IDT agree to resolve all disputes by arbitration, including any dispute as to the interpretation or application of this Section. Arbitration is a means of having an independent third party resolve a dispute. The rules of arbitration are different than the rules of a court. In an arbitration there is no judge or jury, but the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief and must honor the same limitations stated in this Agreement as a court would.
(c) The term dispute shall mean any and all claims, controversies and disputes between you (or persons claiming through you) and IDT (or any of its parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates and successors) relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the App, the Website, the Services and/or the activities or relationships that involve, lead to, or result from this Agreement, including the validity or enforceability of this arbitration provision, any part thereof, or the entire Agreement. Claims are subject to arbitration regardless of whether they arise from: contract; tort (intentional or otherwise); federal or state law, statute or regulation; common law; principles of equity; or otherwise. Claims include matters arising as initial claims, counterclaims, cross-claims, third-party claims, or otherwise.
(d) Either you or IDT can request at any time that a dispute be submitted to arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its rules, including the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules, as such rules are modified by this Agreement. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based solely on written submissions, or in person in Newark, New Jersey, Los Angeles, California or any other mutually agreed location. IDT shall pay all of the AAA filing, administration and arbitrator fees up to $7,000. Thereafter, IDT and you will divide equally all such fees and expenses of the arbitration. IDT shall not pay your travel expenses or your costs in preparing and presenting your case, including your legal fees. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.
(e) We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. You agree to waive your right to consolidate or combine your dispute with the disputes or claims of other consumers or customers, or to bring a claim on behalf of any other person or entity. You agree to waive your right to bring a dispute as a class action or as a private attorney general, and you agree to waive your right to act as a class representative or participate as a member of a class of claimants with respect to any dispute. Unless consented to in writing by all parties to the arbitration, an award in arbitration shall determine the rights and obligations of the named parties only, and only with respect to the disputes in arbitration, and shall not (i) determine the rights, obligations, or interests of anyone other than a named party, or resolve any dispute of anyone other than a named party; nor (ii) make an award for the benefit of, or against, anyone other than a named party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
(f) You can opt out of the provisions of this Section by sending a trackable letter to IDT Payment Services, Inc., 520 Broad Street, Newark, New Jersey 07102, Attn: Legal Department, indicating your desire to opt out of this Section. The letter must include your name and address and identify this specific Agreement. We must receive the letter within 60 days of your acceptance of this Agreement.
(g) The scope of this arbitration provision is to be given the broadest possible interpretation that is enforceable. This arbitration section shall survive the termination of this Agreement. If any portion of this arbitration section is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions of this arbitration section shall nevertheless remain valid and in force. If there is a final judicial determination that applicable law precludes enforcement of this arbitration section’s limitations as to a particular claim for relief or particular term, then that claim (and only that claim) or that term (and only that term) must be severed from this arbitration section and may be brought in court. If this arbitration section is found not to apply to you or your dispute, you and IDT agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in the federal or state courts of New Jersey, and both you and IDT consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there. If for any reason a dispute proceeds in court rather than in arbitration we each waive any right to a jury trial.
10.11 Translation. For your convenience, IDT may provide you with a translation of the English language version of some or all of the various parts of this Agreement. However, the meanings of terms, conditions and representations herein are subject to definitions and interpretations in the English language. If there is any inconsistency between a non-English version and the English version, then the English version shall govern your relationship with IDT.
