ADDING FUNDING ACCOUNTS, PAYMENT AUTHORIZATION, AND PAYMENT

 

REMITTANCE

You authorize the Service to add Funding Accounts to your Metro by T-Mobile eWallet when received from you through Metro by T-Mobile. You also authorize the Service to follow the Payment Instructions that it receives from you through Metro by T-Mobile and/or Metro by T-Mobile’ agents. When the Service receives a Payment Instruction, you authorize the Service to debit or charge your Funding Account and remit funds to Metro by T-Mobile on your behalf. You certify that any Funding Account you add to your profile is an account held by you and from which you are legally authorized to debit or charge Payments, and any Payment you make using the Service will debit or charge a Funding Account that you are legally authorized to use.

The first Funding Account that you add to your profile shall be deemed to be your Default Funding Accounts, unless you later change the designation of what shall be the Default Funding Account. If your identity cannot be verified satisfactorily, the Service might not allow you to add a specific type of Funding Account to your eWallet.

Neither Metro by T-Mobile nor the Service shall incur any liability if the Service is unable to complete any Payments initiated by you for any reason beyond the Service’s control, including because of the existence of any one or more of the following circumstances:

  1. If, through no fault of the Service, your Funding Account does not contain sufficient funds or a sufficient credit limit to complete the Payment or if the Payment would exceed the credit limit of your Funding Account;
  2. The Service's payment processing center is not working properly and you know or have been advised by the Service about the malfunction before you execute the Payment;
  3. You have not provided the Service with the correct Funding Account information, or information that you provided becomes incorrect (e.g., if you are issues a new payment card with a new card number); and/or
  4. Circumstances beyond the control of the Service (such as, but not limited to, fire, flood, or interference from an outside force), even if foreseeable or foreseen, that prevent the proper execution of the Payment and the Service has taken reasonable precautions to avoid those circumstances.

Provided none of the foregoing exceptions are applicable, if the Service causes an incorrect amount of funds to be removed from your Funding Account or causes funds from your Funding Account to be directed in a manner that does not comply with your Payment Instructions, your sole remedy shall be the Service returning the improperly transferred funds to your Funding Account, and directing to Metro by T-Mobile any previously misdirected Payments.

 

FUNDING ACCOUNT NUMBER AND EXPIRATION DATE CHANGES

If your credit or debit card account number or bank account number changes or your credit or debit card expiration date changes, we may acquire that information from our financial services partners without notice to you and update your Funding Account.

 

PAYMENT CANCELLATION REQUESTS

With the exception of AutoPay (as discussed below under “Cancelling Autopay Payments”), once the Service has begun processing any Payment, the Payment cannot be canceled or edited through the Service.

 

FAILED OR RETURNED PAYMENTS

In using the Service (including Autopay, as discussed below), you are requesting the Service to make Payments for you from your Funding Account. If we are unable to complete the Payment for any reason associated with your Funding Account (for example, if there are insufficient funds in your Funding Account to cover the Payment or your credit limit has been reached, the Billing Account or Funding Account number is not valid, the Service is unable to locate your Billing Account or Funding Account, or your Billing Account is already paid in full), the Payment might not be completed. You understand that the Service, your financial institution, your card issuer, payment processors and/or other parties may return Payments for various reasons, including those outlined above. Further, in order to manage risk, the Service may limit the Funding Accounts available, or the allowed Payment amount, for any or all Payments, including Auto Payments. The Service reserves the right to use any Funding Account found within your Metro by T-Mobile eWallet to make your Payment to Metro by T-Mobile. If we cannot process your Payment, you are still responsible to make it, and you are responsible for ensuring timely payment of all of your Metro by T-Mobile charges.

 

AUTOPAY

An AutoPay payment is a type of Payment whereby you authorize the Service to directly charge a Funding Account in your Metro by T-Mobile ewallet for on‐demand charges (“AutoPay”). On‐demand charges include, but are not limited to, your monthly service fees and due immediately charges. If you authorize this type of Payment, AutoPay payments will be made to your account to cover any due immediately charge not made by you using another mechanism, to ensure your Service is not suspended. AutoPay service payments will be authorized up to five (5) days from your monthly anniversary date, to pay for your Service. We may change the day on which we charge your preferred funding source, in our sole and exclusive discretion, but in no event will that day be more than five (5) days prior to the due date. Prior to your Service due date, you will receive notification by SMS text of your balance, which will be charged to your Default Funding Account.

Upon successful AutoPay payment, the Service will provide a payment confirmation SMS text, with confirmation number.

 

Canceling Autopay Payments

You may cancel an Autopay Payment at any time up to three (3) Business Days prior to the date such payment is scheduled to be made. To cancel an Autopay Payment, log into your Metro by T-Mobile eWallet account on www.metrobyt-mobile.com and follow the instructions to remove the AutoPay preference from the Funding Account. In addition, if you cancel an Autopay Payment, you will still be liable to Metro by T-Mobile for the Payment and be required to pay Metro by T-Mobile through alternative means.

 

TEXT TO PAY

If you have not established AutoPay with a Default Funding Account, you may choose to utilize the Service’s Text to Pay functionality. A Text to Pay Payment is a type of one‐time Payment whereby you authorize the Service via a mobile originated text message to directly charge your Default Funding Account in your Metro by T-Mobile eWallet for Metro by T-Mobile services or related products you purchase. You will be prompted by Metro by T-Mobile through a free notification text message that you have Metro by T-Mobile service or related product charges pending. When you reply to the Service via a mobile originated text message with your Payment Instruction in an approved format, you authorize the Service to charge your Default Funding Account for such Text to Pay Payment.
