Intro
(Effective May 19th 2025; this "Addendum") supplements the 吃瓜新闻 Terms of Service and Business Deposit Agreement (collectively, the "Master Terms") entered into between MazumaGo Inc. dba 吃瓜新闻 ("吃瓜新闻," "we," "us," or "our") and the business customer ("Customer," "you," or "your").
This Addendum governs your use of 吃瓜新闻鈥檚 optional early payment availability services: Instant Withdrawals and Balance Protection (collectively, the "Services"). By using either Service, you agree to the terms of this Addendum.
1. Services Covered
鈥燭imelines are estimates and not guaranteed. Actual timing may vary due to payment network processing, partner bank operations, and other factors.
2. Key Definitions
- "Available Balance": The total amount of funds in your 吃瓜新闻 account, calculated as the sum of your Settled Balance and your Unsettled Balance, that 吃瓜新闻 makes available for use, including for the Services described herein.
- "Conditional Credit": A temporary credit extended by 吃瓜新闻 to your account for the specific purpose of covering an eligible third-party ACH debit under the Balance Protection service, based on your Unsettled Balance.
- "Conditional Disbursement": The portion of an Instant Withdrawal that is funded from your Unsettled Balance.
- "Settled Balance": The portion of your 吃瓜新闻 account balance that consists of funds that have fully cleared all applicable payment networks and are finally collected and available for withdrawal without contingency.
- "Unsettled Balance": The portion of your 吃瓜新闻 account balance that represents the dollar value of inbound payments (e.g., ACH credits and card payments) for which 吃瓜新闻 or its partner financial institution(s) has received notification of impending settlement, but which have not yet become Settled Balance.
3. Eligibility and Limits
- Eligibility: The Services are available to U.S. business Customers with a 吃瓜新闻 account in good standing, as determined by 吃瓜新闻 in its sole discretion.
- Limits: 吃瓜新闻 may establish and modify, at its sole discretion and without prior notice (unless required by law), per-transaction, daily, or other periodic or aggregate limits on your use of the Services. These limits may be based on factors including, but not limited to, your account history, transaction volume, risk assessment, and compliance requirements. Current limits, if any, will be displayed within your 吃瓜新闻 dashboard or otherwise communicated to you.
4. How the Services Operate
4.1. Instant Withdrawals
- Customer Instruction: You may request an Instant Withdrawal for an amount up to your current Available Balance as displayed in your 吃瓜新闻 dashboard at the time of the request.
- Disbursement: Upon your instruction and approval by 吃瓜新闻, 吃瓜新闻 will disburse the requested amount, less the applicable 吃瓜新闻 Fee, to your designated external debit card or bank account using expedited payment rails.
- Nature of Disbursement:
- If the Instant Withdrawal amount is solely from your Settled Balance, the Service provides an expedited method of withdrawal.
- If the Instant Withdrawal amount includes funds from your Unsettled Balance, that portion is a Conditional Disbursement made in anticipation of the final settlement of the underlying inbound payments contributing to your Unsettled Balance.
- Offset of Conditional Disbursements: When the underlying inbound payments that formed the Unsettled Balance portion of an Instant Withdrawal achieve final settlement and become Settled Balance, this automatically reconciles the Conditional Disbursement. Typically no separate repayment action or consent by you is required for this offset.
- Returned or Reversed Underlying Payments: If an inbound payment that contributed to the Unsettled Balance, and was subsequently part of a Conditional Disbursement via an Instant Withdrawal, is later returned, reversed, or fails to settle for any reason, the amount of that Conditional Disbursement (plus the associated 吃瓜新闻 Fee if uncollected) will be immediately due and payable to 吃瓜新闻. This may result in your 吃瓜新闻 account having a negative balance. Such situations will be handled in accordance with the "Negative Balances, Returns, and Set-Off" section of this Addendum and the relevant provisions in the Master Terms.
4.2. Balance Protection
- Triggering Event: If you have opted-in to Balance Protection, it聽 may be activated if an authorized third-party ACH debit is presented against your 吃瓜新闻 account and your Settled Balance is insufficient to cover the debit, but your Available Balance (inclusive of Unsettled Balance) is sufficient. Activation is at 吃瓜新闻's discretion.
- Conditional Credit: To prevent the ACH debit from being returned for insufficient funds (鈥淣SF鈥), 吃瓜新闻 may, at its option, provide a Conditional Credit to your 吃瓜新闻 account in an amount necessary to allow the ACH debit to post successfully and to cover the related 吃瓜新闻 Fees.
- ACH Debit Posting: The third-party ACH debit will then post against the funds made available by the Conditional Credit and any available Settled Balance.
- Offset of Conditional Credit: When the underlying inbound payments that formed the Unsettled Balance (which supported the decision to provide the Conditional Credit) achieve final settlement and become Settled Balance, this automatically offsets and reverses the Conditional Credit and related 吃瓜新闻 Fees. Typically, no separate repayment action or consent by you is required for this offset.
- Returned or Reversed Underlying Payments: If an inbound payment that contributed to the Unsettled Balance (and thus supported the Conditional Credit) is later returned, reversed, or fails to settle, the amount of the Conditional Credit (plus the associated 吃瓜新闻 Fee if uncollected) that relied on such payment will be immediately due and payable to 吃瓜新闻. This may result in your 吃瓜新闻 account having a negative balance. Such situations will be handled in accordance with the "Negative Balances, Returns, and Set-Off" section of this Addendum and the relevant provisions in the Master Terms.
5. Fees
- You agree to pay the 吃瓜新闻 Fees for the Services as specified in Section 1 of this Addendum or as otherwise disclosed to you at the time of the transaction.
- There are no 吃瓜新闻 Fees for opting-in to the Services. Fees are charged on a per-use basis and are earned by 吃瓜新闻 immediately upon the provision of the relevant Service (i.e., disbursement for Instant Withdrawals, or provision of credit for Balance Protection).
- Fees are non-refundable, even if an underlying payment that was part of an Unsettled Balance is later returned or reversed.
- 吃瓜新闻 will deduct the Fee from the amount disbursed (for Instant Withdrawals) or debit your 吃瓜新闻 account for the Fee amount for Balance Protection.
6. No Loan or Extension of Credit; Business Purpose
- Not a Loan: You acknowledge and agree that the Services, including any Conditional Disbursements or Conditional Credits, are not loans, lines of credit, or other extensions of credit from 吃瓜新闻 to you. The Services provide expedited access to your Available Balance, which may include Unsettled Balances representing funds already in transit to your 吃瓜新闻 account from third parties, or a temporary bridge for debits based on such Unsettled Balances.
- No Interest: 吃瓜新闻 does not charge interest on any amounts related to the Services. The 吃瓜新闻 Fees are service fees for the provision of early availability and processing.
- Business Purpose: You represent and warrant that you will use the Services solely for legitimate business purposes and not for personal, family, or household purposes.
7. Negative Balances, Returns, and Set-Off
- If your 吃瓜新闻 account develops a negative balance as a result of using the Services (e.g., due to a returned or reversed underlying payment or otherwise after a Conditional Disbursement or Conditional Credit has been made), you are immediately liable for the full amount of the negative balance, including any unpaid 吃瓜新闻 Fees.
- The handling of negative balances, returned items, chargebacks, and 吃瓜新闻's rights of set-off are governed by the applicable sections of the Master Terms (such as those titled "Chargebacks and Reversed Payments," "Overdrawn Accounts," or similar). 吃瓜新闻 reserves all rights outlined in the Master Terms to recover any amounts owed by you (plus any fees and costs associated with such recovery, including attorneys鈥 fees), including but not limited to debiting linked external accounts, applying future inbound payments to your 吃瓜新闻 account, or pursuing other collection efforts.
8. Service Availability; Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability
- Availability: 吃瓜新闻 provides the Services "as is" and "as available." 吃瓜新闻 does not guarantee that the Services will always be available, uninterrupted, or error-free. Access to the Services may be subject to delays, failures, or interruptions due to various factors, including but not limited to payment network issues, partner bank operations, system maintenance, or force majeure events. 吃瓜新闻 may suspend your access to the Services while any unpaid liabilities remain outstanding or close your account in its sole discretion.
- Disclaimers and Liability: The disclaimers of warranties and limitations of liability set forth in the Master Terms apply fully to this Addendum and your use of the Services. Without limiting the foregoing, 吃瓜新闻鈥檚 liability in connection with the Services will be limited to direct damages, capped at the lesser of (i) the amount of the specific Conditional Disbursement or Conditional Credit at issue, or (ii) the 吃瓜新闻 Fee you paid for the specific transaction giving rise to the liability. 吃瓜新闻 is not liable for any indirect, consequential, special, punitive, or exemplary damages.
