4. CREATING A USER ACCOUNT AND LINKING YOUR BANKING

1. Creating Your User Account

​To access and use certain services available through our Platform, you will first be required to create a user account. Our services that require you to have a user account include our subscription service that provides you access to our budgeting tool, spending analytics, and streamlined overdraft protection services (our “Subscription Service”).

To create a user account, you will be required to provide your name, email address, a login name, and a password, and other information related to your user account that we may require from time to time (the information you provide when creating a user account is collectively called your “Account Details”). When creating a user account, you agree to provide correct, current, and complete Account Details, and to promptly update your Account Details if any information changes – for example, if you change your email address.

While we take steps to protect your Account Details, you acknowledge and agree that you are also responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Account Details. If you believe any of your Account Details (such as your password) have been compromised or that someone else is accessing your user account, you agree to promptly inform us and to take reasonable steps to secure your user account – for example, by changing your password.

You acknowledge and agree that your user account is personal to you, and that you cannot share your user account with, or transfer your user account to, another person without our prior written consent.

2. Verifying Your Identity

To use some of the services available through our Platform, including our overdraft protection services, we may first require that you help us verify your identity. Accordingly, you agree to authorize us to make any inquiries we consider reasonably necessary to validate your identity upon our request and to cooperate in getting answers to those inquiries. If you do not respond to our request to make inquiries or if we cannot verify your identity to our satisfaction, you acknowledge that we may refuse to allow you to use such services.

3. Linking to Your Banking

To use the Platform, you will need to provide Bree with access to your account transaction history, balance information, and/or certain other information maintained by third parties with which you have relationships, maintain accounts, or engage in financial transactions (“Third-Party Account Information”). By using the Platform, you authorize Bree to access Third-Party Account Information on your behalf as your agent, and you hereby expressly authorize applicable third parties to disclose your information to us. By agreeing to these Terms, you are also agreeing that you are responsible for keeping any passwords and usernames you provide to us secure, and for keeping those passwords and usernames up to date in the Platform.

To help us link our Platform to your bank account, we use a third-party service provider called Flinks To learn more about Flinks, their services, and how they handle any personal information of yours, check out their website at https://flinks.com/. You can learn more about how we manage your privacy in connection with our third-party service providers by checking out our privacy policy. You can unlink your bank account at any time by emailing us at info@trybree.com with the subject line “Please disconnect my bank account with Bree”.

Bree does not review information, including information you provide, maintained by third parties for accuracy, legality, or non-infringement, and Bree is not responsible for your information or products and services offered by or on third-party sites.

You acknowledge that any information based on your linked bank account that is displayed through our Platform will be the information we most recently accessed by us, and that this information may not be accurate, up-to-date, or reflect pending transactions or other recent activity.

​

5. USING OUR OVERDRAFT PROTECTION SERVICE

1. Overview of Our Overdraft Protection Service

​We offer an overdraft protection service through cash deposits ahead of your anticipated or already-earned income (each, an “Advance”). Any user can request an Advance, regardless of whether that user has purchased our Subscription Service. However, users requesting an Advance without purchasing the Subscription Service may be required to provide additional financial information, such as additional banking information and transaction history, for example by providing bank statements by emailing us at info@trybree.com with the subject line “Advance from Bree without Flinks connection” alongside such information. 

2. Requesting an Advance

You may request an Advance at any time through your user account. In requesting an Advance, you will be required to select:

• the size of the Advance you want to receive within the range we provide. The range of Advance sizes you are eligible for may be based on, among other things, whether you have linked your bank account to our Platform, our review of requested information, and our analysis of your deposits and transaction history. We reserve the right to adjust Advance amounts and our eligibility criteria at any time;
• the amount you’d like to tip us for providing the Advance (a “Tip”). However, you are not required to provide any tip if you don’t want to and your decision on how much to tip, if at all, in no way alters your eligibility to receive an Advance, your ability to access an Advance, or the amount of any Advance you are eligible for. Tips help us grow and provide our overdraft protection services to more users; and
• by default, you will receive your Advance approximately 3 business days after you make your request in accordance with this section 5. However, you can receive your Advance sooner (within approximately 8 hours of your request) by selecting our express delivery option, which may require you to pay an express delivery fee (the “Express Fee”) that will be specified to you at the time you request your Advance, and which may vary depending on the size of the Advance you request and covers increased processing charges we may incur in providing you your Advance on an express basis. The Express Fee and any Tip, as applicable, are due at the time of repayment.

By requesting an Advance, you represent to us that you are requesting that Advance for the express purposes of covering a recurring or known and upcoming payment that would otherwise cause you to go into overdraft or exceed your available funds. Please note that Advances are always provided at Bree’s sole discretion, and may be granted or denied for any reason or no reason. 

3. Receiving Your Advance

​Once you have selected the required inputs to request an Advance in accordance with section 5.2, we will ask you to confirm your request for an Advance before your request becomes active. Upon confirming your Request, we will determine on our end whether you are eligible for the Advance and if so, send you an approval email. You should receive your funds in accordance with whether you selected the standard or express option. If you have any difficulties accessing your Advance, please use the support page on the dashboard. . 

4. Returning Your Advance

Unless you request otherwise, we will charge your Payment Method for the amount of an outstanding Advance on the return date selected by you through the Platform (your “Selected Date”) or, if you have insufficient funds on that date, on the next date on which you do have sufficient funds

Our goal is to help you avoid overdraft fees and any related negative impacts on your credit, and to help you work towards your financial freedom! We therefore waive any legal or contractual claim we may have against you as a result of your failure to return an Advance and will not engage in any debt collection activities, transfer or sell such a claim to any third-party, or report you to a consumer reporting agency. However, we will not provide you any further Advances while any amount of a previous Advance remains outstanding. 

You agree that you will not create additional user accounts for the purposes of requesting additional Advances while you have previous Advances outstanding. We do not waive any rights regarding fraudulent activity and reserve all rights to pursue instances of fraud.

Although Bree is helping users avoid overdraft fees, Bree is not responsible for any overdraft fees, over-the-limit fees, insufficient fund charges, or any other bank fees that result from your failure to maintain a sufficient balance in your Linked Account or Bree Banking Account. Bree monitors your balance and will attempt to ensure you have sufficient funds before debiting your account, but Bree makes no warranties that an overdraft will not occur.

‍

5. Requests without Subscription

You may request an Advance without purchasing our Subscription Service by emailing us at info@trybree.com, with the subject line “Advance from Bree without Flinks connection” alongside your latest bank statements, ID, proof of address, and proof of income (via paystubs). Emails without all supporting documents will not receive a response. .

6. Limitations on Our Overdraft Protection Service

​Although our goal is to help users avoid overdraft fees, our overdraft protection services are proactive only, meaning we can’t do anything to help you avoid overdraft or other fees if you exceed the funds available in any bank account you may hold. You acknowledge that we are not responsible for any overdraft fees, over-the-limit fees, insufficient fund charges, or any other such fees that may result from your failure to maintain a sufficient balance in any of your bank accounts. We will make reasonable efforts to ensure you have sufficient funds before debiting your bank account but cannot guarantee that overdraft fees or other fees will not occur as a result of or in connection with your return of an Advance in accordance with section 5.4.

‍

​​

6. OUR SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE

1. Overview

Our Subscription Service has a monthly subscription fee ($2.99 plus applicable taxes as of the date of these Terms) (the “Subscription Fee”) and provides you with access to our budgeting tool and spending analytics. Please note – paying the Subscription Fee and using the Subscription Service does not, at any time, guarantee that Bree will approve a request for an Advance. Bree may change the amount of the Subscription Fee at its sole discretion. 

2. 30-day Free Trial

You may be offered a 30-day free trial of the Subscription Service (the “Trial”). If you are offered participation in the Trial, in order to accept you may be required to provide payment information, such as debit card or bank account details. Following the conclusion of the Trial, you will be charged (and you hereby authorize us to charge you) the Subscription Fee on a monthly basis. 

3. Payment of Your Subscription Fee

To use our Subscription Service, you will be required to provide a payment method for the Subscription Fee (your “Payment Method”). You will be billed for the Subscription Fee monthly. You authorize us to charge your Payment Method for your Subscription Fee each month and to, as applicable, electronically debit and credit your Payment Method to correct any erroneous debits and credits that may occur or payments that are due. You acknowledge and agree that we will not provide you notice, and you waive any right to notice you may have under applicable law, in advance of a particular charge to your Payment Method.

You represent and warrant to us that you have the right to authorize us to charge your Payment Method for payments due to us under these Terms. If your linked bank account is a joint bank account with someone else, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to (a) bind the absent account holder(s); and (b) enter into these Terms independently. You agree to indemnify and hold Bree harmless from any third-party claims related to your Payment Method.

4. ​Adjustments to Your Subscription Fee

We may adjust your Subscription Fee at any time by notice to you through the Platform or by a communication method otherwise permitted by these Terms. Such an adjustment to your Subscription Fee will be effective in the month following the month in which we provide such notice. 

5. Cancelling Your Subscription Service

If you have all or part of an Advance outstanding, you may cancel your Subscription Service by notifying us by email at info@trybree.com. You may cancel your Subscription Service at any time through the Platform or by notifying us by email at info@trybree.com. Cancellation is effective at the end of the then-current month of your Subscription Service. If we are unable to collect your Subscription Fee because your Payment Method does not contain sufficient funds or our attempt to charge your Payment Method is otherwise declined for any reason, Bree reserves the right to suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to your Subscription Service until such time as your non-payment is remedied.

​

8. HOW WE HANDLE DISPUTES

If you believe you were charged any fees by us incorrectly or received an Advance that you did not request, please contact us immediately at info@trybree.com and include your name, login name, and the issue that you would like us to look into, including the dollar amount of that issue, if applicable.

We will try to resolve the issue you’ve notified us about within 10 business days of receiving your notice – however, you acknowledge that we may be unable to resolve the issue you’ve notified us about within that timeframe. We may, in our discretion, reimburse you for any amounts at issue for the period during which we attempt to resolve the issue, however we are not obligated to do so.

9. REFUNDS

Tips, Express Fees and the Subscription Fee are non-refundable.

​

10. CREDIT AND DEBIT AUTHORIZATION​

If you enroll in the Bree membership, you authorize Bree to electronically debit your Payment Method for the $2.99 Subscription Fee once each month. As applicable, you also authorize Bree to electronically debit and credit your Payment Method to correct erroneous debits and credits. You have the right to receive notice of any debit for the Subscription Fee that would vary in amount from a previous Subscription Fee, but you agree that we only need to notify you in advance if a particular debit from your Payment Method would be more than $2.99. (Our policy is that no single debit will exceed $2.99, so we expect not to provide you with advance notice of each ongoing debit from your Payment Method.)

​

You acknowledge that, as applicable, the electronic authorization contained in this Section represents your written authorization for electronic fund transfer (“EFT”) and debit card transactions as provided herein and will remain in full force and effect until you notify Bree that you wish to revoke this authorization by emailing info@trybree.com. You must notify Bree at least three (3) business days before the scheduled debit date in order to cancel this authorization. When you call or email, please include the name and telephone number associated with your user account. Failure to provide correct and complete information may make it impossible for Bree to stop withdrawal of the preauthorized transaction.

​

You agree to indemnify and hold Bree harmless from and against any loss incurred as a result of its withdrawal of a preauthorized debit transaction from your Payment Method if any of the information relied upon in your request to stop payment is incorrect or incomplete. If you have followed the instructions in this section to notify Bree of your desire to revoke your authorization at least three (3) business days before the scheduled debit date, Bree will be liable for your losses or damages directly caused by our failure to stop any preauthorized transaction. If we do not receive notice at least three (3) business days before the scheduled debit date, we may attempt, in our sole discretion, to cancel the transaction. However, we assume no responsibility for our failure to do so.

You warrant and represent to Bree that you have the right to authorize us to charge and credit your Payment Method for payments due to us under this Agreement. If you have a joint Linked Account, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to (a) bind the absent account holder; and (b) enter into this Agreement independently. You agree to indemnify and hold Bree harmless from any claims by any other owner of the Linked Account.

You represent that you are capable of saving or otherwise storing a copy of this electronic authorization for your records, and the credit and debit transactions you request comply with applicable law.

17.6 Error Resolution

In case of errors or questions about your Electronic Fund Transfers, email us at info@trybree.com. If you think your Linked Account statement, receipt, or payment history within the Mobile App are wrong, contact us as soon as you can.

We will determine whether an error occurred within 10 business days after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 days to investigate your complaint or question.
