The Outbound Service enables you to pay designated subcontractors, suppliers, and vendors. For the Outbound Service, you authorize Buildertrend to process Payment Orders on your behalf in partnership with Partners. You further authorize Partners to process Payment Orders and effect transactions on your behalf. “Payment Order” means an order or request for the transfer to or withdrawal from the account of another financial institution by means of the Payments Service. For the avoidance of doubt, Payment Orders include Entries as defined by the Nacha Rules. You understand and acknowledge that funds do not pass into our legal ownership at any time from payment initiation to successful delivery, including any subsequent refunds.
2(b). Eligibility and Use of Payments Service.
Buildertrend conducts an onboarding process for all Customers. You must successfully complete the onboarding process and be approved by Buildertrend and any relevant Partners before utilizing the Payments Service. To use the Payments Service, you also agree to provide us with certain information we may require from you from time to time.
By accessing or using the Payments Service, you represent and warrant that: (i) all onboarding information you submit is accurate, current, and complete; (ii) you will maintain the accuracy and completeness of such information; and (iii) you (a) are not located in a country subject to U.S. Government sanctions or embargos, and are not a person, group, or entity that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a Specially Designated National (SDN) or “terrorist supporting” country; (b) are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties; and (c) will not attempt to use the Payments Service directly or indirectly to send money to a sanctioned country, person, group, or entity.

To use the Payments Service, you must provide us and Partners with an authorization to credit and debit a depository account, and the information necessary to do so, which will be linked to or otherwise associated with the Payments Service (“Settlement Account”). By providing us with information about an account for its designation as a Settlement Account, you represent and warrant to us that the Settlement Account was established solely for business or commercial purposes. You further represent and warrant that you may authorize transactions from such Settlement Account without the consent or approval of any other person or entity. You agree to notify us as soon as reasonably possible if a previously linked or associated Settlement Account has been closed. Your access to, and use of, the Payments Service is conditioned on compliance with this provision, and you agree that we will not have any liability for any reason if you are not in compliance with this provision and you agree to indemnify us for the same.
You represent and warrant that your Settlement Account is a deposit account enabled for ACH credits and debits, to make payments in accordance with the Payments Service. You agree to reimburse us for all penalties and fees incurred by us if your Settlement Account is not properly configured.
You authorize Partners, and their and our service providers, to remit to your Settlement Account all amounts due and paid by Payors, minus amounts that you owe us or Partners. You authorize us to set-off, recoup and to appropriate and to apply any and all balances or funds or other amounts we may owe you against and on account of your obligations, whether such obligations are liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured or unmatured, and expressly waive any right to notice and demand in connection with the foregoing.
Without limiting our other rights and remedies (all of which are cumulative), you authorize us to debit your Settlement Account for any amounts you owe us or Partners hereunder or under any agreement with such parties referenced herein. With prior notice, Buildertrend may use an externally linked bank account for one of the Services as the default option for another Service where you have not yet designated an account. You further agree to execute any authorizations, including payment or ACH authorizations, that may be required in connection with Payments Service.
You agree at all times to maintain sufficient funds in your Settlement Account to satisfy all obligations to us or Partners in connection with these Terms and the use of the Payment Service, including returns, reversals, and associated fees. Your bank may charge you non-sufficient funds fees or overdraft fees if you do not have sufficient funds to complete a transaction. You are solely responsible for maintaining an adequate balance in or associated with your Settlement Account to avoid any overdraft, non-sufficient funds, or similar fees. Any and all such fees are your sole responsibility.
2(d). Resubmissions.
If a debit from, or charge to, your Settlement Account is rejected or returned for any reason, you understand and agree that you continue to be responsible for funding the payment amount and agree to pay the amount of the returned debit or charge directly to us within two (2) business days. You agree that we may resubmit a returned or rejected debit or charge in our sole discretion, as permitted by applicable law and payment network rules. You agree to pay all penalties, interest charges, late payment fees, service fees, and/or interest related to the rejected or returned funding debit.

You acknowledge and agree that Buildertrend shall have the right at any time to charge your Settlement Account for any return, chargeback, compliance case, or any other Losses (as defined below) borne by Buildertrend in connection with transactions made through the Payments Service. You understand and agree that it may take more than 60 days for us to receive notice of the return or reversal of an ACH debit or other charge of a Payor and/or to exercise any rights granted or reserved under these Terms.
Buildertrend facilitates, and you may instruct us in, the defense of chargebacks, returns, compliance cases and similar actions, and you agree that you will promptly provide any such instructions to us. From time to time, we may recommend best practices for responding to chargebacks and returns, and you are not required to accept our recommendations. When we determine that we have all necessary information and instructions, you authorize us to resolve chargebacks and respond to retrieval requests and other inquiries without further consulting you.
For any transaction that results in a chargeback or return, the chargeback or return amount may be withheld in a reserve. We may deduct the amount of any chargeback or return and any associated fees, fines, or penalties assessed by the card brand or bank from your bank account (including, without limitation, any reserve), any proceeds due to you, or other payment instrument registered with us. If you have pending chargebacks or returns, payouts from Partners may be delayed to your Settlement Account. Further, if we reasonably believe that a chargeback or return is likely with respect to any transaction, the amount of the potential chargeback or return may be withheld from payments otherwise due to you until such time that: (a) a chargeback or return is assessed due to a Payor’s complaint, in which case we will retain the funds; (b) the period of time under applicable law by which the Payor may dispute that the transaction has expired; or (c) we determine that a chargeback or return on the transaction will not occur. If we are unable to recover funds related to a chargeback or return for which you are liable, you will pay us the full amount of the chargeback or return immediately upon demand. You agree to pay all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses, incurred by or on behalf of us in connection with the collection of all account deficit balances unpaid by you.

Upon request, we will tell you the name and address of any credit reporting agency that furnished a report on you. We may report your liability, payment history, and the status of your account to credit reporting agencies and to others who may lawfully receive such information. We may tell a credit reporting agency if you fail to comply with any of these Terms. This may have a negative impact on your credit report.

- In addition to the indemnification obligations set forth elsewhere in these terms, you will defend, indemnify and hold Buildertrend and the RDFI harmless from and against all third-party claims, actions, proceedings, regulatory investigations, damages, losses, judgments, settlements, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), arising from or in connection with: (a) your breach of any representation, warranty or covenant set forth in this Section 2(r); (b) your failure to perform your obligations as an Originator under the Nacha Rules; (c) your failure to verify the identity Receivers or adequately perform OFAC screening; (d) your failure to maintain a sufficient balance in your linked account to cover your obligations under this Section 2(r); (e) Buildertrend’s effecting or attempt to effect your request for the cancellation, amendment or reversal of an Entry; (f) Buildertrend’s issuance of duplicate Entries; (g) an RDFI’s limitation, suspension, or termination of your use of ACH services; or (h) your breach of any agreement between you and a Receiver.
- To the extent applicable, the following additional terms shall apply to your initiation of Payment Orders using services relating to the real-time gross settlement funds transfer system operated by the Federal Reserve (“Wire Services”):
- Each Payment Order request through the Wire Services (“Wire Instruction”) authorized by you is irrevocable, and may not be withdrawn, canceled, amended, or otherwise modified, in each case, without the consent of Buildertrend and its Partners.
- Buildertrend may authorize Payment Orders requested through Wire Services (a) on a transaction-by-transaction basis, or (b) by authorizing drawdown requests from the originating party on an ongoing basis (“Wire Drawdown Requests”). You acknowledge and agree that Buildertrend shall not be liable for a Partner’s transmitting any funds after receiving a Wire Drawdown Request. Each Wire Drawdown Request authorized by you is irrevocable, and may not be withdrawn, canceled, amended, or otherwise modified, in each case, without the consent of Buildertrend and its Partners.
- You authorize Buildertrend and its Partners to honor, accept, execute, and initiate any wire transfer based on Wire Instructions or Wire Drawdown Requests. You acknowledge and agree that the security procedure offered by Buildertrend and Partners to enable the submission and authentication of Wire Instructions or Wire Drawdown Request represents an acceptable and commercially reasonable method of providing security against unauthorized transactions. Buildertrend has no obligation, and shall not be liable or responsible for its or Partners’ refusal to act on any instruction or transaction request that is not contained in the Wire Instruction or Wire Drawdown Request. You acknowledge that the purpose of transacting through Wire Instructions or Wire Drawdown Requests for purposes of the Wire Services is to verify that the Wire Transfer Instruction or Wire Drawdown Request is submitted or approved by you and not to detect an error in the transmission or content of any Wire Instruction or Wire Drawdown Request. You and Buildertrend have not agreed upon any procedures for the detection of errors relating to the Wire Services and you are solely responsible for any errors not caused by our or Partners’ (or our collective affiliates’, service providers’, or contractors’) acts or omissions. In the event that a Wire Instruction or Wire Drawdown Request is deemed to constitute a payment order under applicable law, you and Buildertrend agree that any such order communicated to Buildertrend or Partners and verified in accordance with Buildertrend’s and Partners’ security procedures will be effective as your order, whether or not authorized, and regardless of the actual identity of the sender thereof. Buildertrend shall have no liability to you related to a wire transfer if a Partner has executed such transfer based on a Wire Instruction or Wire Drawdown Request.
- You acknowledge and agree that in the event that a Partner receives a request from Buildertrend or an external financial institution to return funds associated with a wire transfer (“Wire Return Request”), you shall indemnify, defend, and hold Buildertrend harmless to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law for the Wire Return Request, including for the returned funds, and Buildertrend shall assume no liability related to or arising from such Wire Return Request.
- You acknowledge and agree that any breach of this Section 2(r) by you will be deemed a material breach of these Terms by you.
3. Buildertrend Wallet Services
3(a). Banking Services.
Banking services for BT Wallet are provided by Piermont Bank, Member FDIC. Your deposit balances held at Bank are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) for up to the legal limit (currently $250,000 for each category of legal ownership).
3(b). Card Terms For Users.
All Cards are issued by the Bank. The Agreement, these Terms, and the Deposit and Cardholder Agreement govern Customer’s use of the Cards. Customer and its employees utilizing Cards (“Employee Users”) may only use the Cards if Customer consents to these Terms.
3(c). Onboarding, Roles, and Access Levels.
Buildertrend conducts an onboarding process for all Customers and Employee Users on Bank’s behalf. Customers and Employee Users must successfully complete the onboarding process and be approved by Bank and Buildertrend, before making payments within BT Wallet. After being approved, Employee Users will have differing access rights based on the role granted to them by Customer and Customer’s Wallet Administrator. The roles and corresponding access rights are as follows:
| Role | Access Rights |
| Wallet Administrator | Create and eliminate roles; View all transactions and activity; Create and eliminate Cards; Move, deposit, and withdraw money; Freeze and replace Cards |
| Bookkeeper | Read-only view of all transactions and activity |
| Cardholder | Read-only view of all transactions of assigned Card; Freeze and replace assigned Card |
Customer is responsible for selecting a Wallet Administrator, and Customer and the Wallet Administrator are responsible for selecting who should have access to Cards. Customer agrees to establish and maintain controls designed to ensure that its Card and the Cards of its Employee Users are only used for bona fide business-related, Customer purposes and in compliance with these Terms, the Deposit and Cardholder Agreement, and the Network Rules.
Wallet Administrators may set user-specific limits or spending controls within the preset limits. Bank, Buildertrend on its behalf, and Wallet Administrators may establish limits on the types of merchants with which Customer and Employee Users may make purchases and the types of permitted transactions. Bank, Buildertrend on its behalf, and Wallet Administrators also may restrict the maximum amount of any particular transaction and the number of transactions allowed for the BT Wallet or individual Cards.
Employee Users who are not Wallet Administrators will not be permitted to establish or modify settings. For example, a Wallet Administrator may establish settings that allow only certain Employee Users to use certain Cards, that modify the spending limits applicable to an Employee User or Card, that limit the categories of purchases that may be authorized for an Employee User or a Card, or the amount of transactions that may be performed with a Card in a day or month, or other items within their discretion. A Wallet Administrator may change such settings from time to time without Employee Users’ consent.
3(d). Activating the Cards.
Cards must be activated prior to use, and each Employee User must first have an active profile configured by Customer or Customer’s Wallet Administrator. Customer and Employee Users will receive physical Cards by mail and will activate the Cards by entering the relevant validation information in the BT Wallet portal (the “Portal”). There are no additional steps needed to activate electronic Cards.
3(e). Card Limits.
While Buildertrend attempts to control the use of the Card to the parameters selected by Wallet Administrators, Customer agrees that it is solely responsible for all transactions on the BT Wallet, regardless of whether such charges are within or outside the parameters established for each Card and Employee User.
Customer acknowledges and agrees that Bank, and Buildertrend on its behalf, reserves the right to: (i) decline any transaction that would cause Customer to exceed any applicable limit; (ii) decline transactions at merchants that are characterized by the Card network (the “Network”) or Buildertrend as prohibited or restricted merchants; and (iii) decline transactions, reverse transactions, and suspend Cards for any other reason, including for violation of the Agreement, these Terms, Network rules, or suspected fraud. The Network, Bank, or Buildertrend on its behalf, may also deny or reverse transactions for any reason.
Buildertrend is not responsible for Losses of any kind resulting from declined or reversed transactions. Merchants typically accept all Network-branded Cards; however, Buildertrend is not responsible and will have no liability if a merchant refuses to honor a Card. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Bank, and Buildertrend on its behalf, further reserves the right to place a hold on a Card for any transaction. When a hold is placed on a Card, the amount of the hold will reduce the available spend until the hold is released.
3(f). Fees.
Any fees charged by Bank or Buildertrend will be made available (the “Fee Schedule”) at the time of onboarding, and within the Portal. For any questions around the Fee Schedule, reach out to your Buildertrend representative at wallet@buildertrend.com.
3(g). Requesting, Cancelling, and Replacing Cards.
Wallet Administrators may request Cards for Employee Users, but may only request Cards for, and provide Cards to, individuals that are direct employees of Customer. Cards may be denied or canceled due to changes in policies, as required by applicable law, or for other reasons that Bank, and Buildertrend on its behalf, determines are appropriate under the circumstances. Customers and Employee Users will be able to view transactions and manage Cards, based on the applicable access rights, through the Portal.
Customer or a Wallet Administrator must promptly take appropriate measures to prevent unauthorized transactions when a Card is lost, stolen, or breached by freezing or cancelling the Card. To freeze a Card, Customer or Wallet Administrator must login to the BT Wallet, select “Cards”, and toggle off the switch for the appropriate Card. To cancel a Card, Customer or Wallet Administrator must login to the BT Wallet, select “Cards”, click on the card icon for the appropriate “Card”, and select “Cancel card” under “Settings.” Buildertrend is not responsible and will have no liability for any loss resulting from Customer or Wallet Administrator not timely freezing or cancelling a Card in the event the Card is lost, stolen, or breached. Customer or Wallet Administrators may also request the issuance of replacement Cards through the Portal. Buildertrend reserves the right to ask Customer, Wallet Administrator, or Employee Users for certain verification information, or to conduct KYC procedures using the third-party company when investigating lost, stolen, or breached Cards and granting new or replacement Cards. Replacement Cards may have new account numbers that will require Customer or Employee Users to update the Card on file for any scheduled or recurring payments. If Customer or the applicable Employee User does not update the Card for scheduled or recurring payments, the transactions may not be completed. Customer and Employee Users are solely responsible for updating Cards stored with merchants where account numbers have been changed.
3(h). Cashback Rewards Program.
The BT Wallet Cashback Rewards Program (the “Cashback Rewards Program”) refunds Customers certain percentages of purchases made with Cards at select merchants or in certain merchant categories that change throughout the year (such refunds, “Rewards”). Buildertrend will provide details of the Cashback Rewards Program offerings for each quarter, including the type of purchases that are eligible and any limits on the amount of Rewards you can earn; for complete details, refer to the ‘Cashback’ section here https://wallet.buildertrend.com/legal.
We may temporarily or permanently disqualify you from participating in the Cashback Rewards Program and/or adjust or cause to be forfeited any or all Rewards accrued as a result of your abusive behavior, fraud, misrepresentation, any violation of law, violation of any other agreement with us, our affiliates, Partners, or any other violation of any of these Terms, as determined by us in our sole discretion. Rewards cannot be combined with other discount or rewards programs unless specifically authorized by us. We may cancel or forfeit any Rewards if you default on any provision of these Terms, the Agreement, or the Deposit and Cardholder Agreement.
Certain Card transactions are excluded from the Cashback Rewards Program, including cash withdrawals, transactions that are deemed fraudulent, disputed transactions or transactions subject to chargebacks, and transactions funded with Rewards. We may determine that a transaction type or particular transaction is excluded from eligibility for Rewards accrual at any time. Any transaction conducted or effectuated while you are in default of these Terms does not qualify is excluded, unless otherwise permitted by us. We reserve the right to determine, in our sole discretion, whether a particular transaction is an excluded transaction. Rewards are offered solely by us, subject to these Terms, and not offered by or provided through any merchant.
If you return, charge back, cancel, dispute, or otherwise request a refund for a Card transaction for which you have already received Rewards, we reserve the right to remove any related Rewards amount from your BT Wallet, or offset such amount from any future Rewards. If we choose to remove the amount from your BT Wallet, you authorize us to debit your BT Wallet and your Settlement Account, regardless of whether this causes the BT Wallet or Settlement Account to have a negative balance or overdraft, and you agree to provide any documentation or authorizations required to ensure that any such Rewards amount is returned to us.
Merchants are assigned a merchant category code based on the line of business, type of products and/or services primarily sold or provided by the merchant. Merchant codes and categories can change at any time without notice. For the purpose of the Cashback Rewards Program, we may group certain merchants and merchant category codes to create categories. This does not reclassify the select merchants or merchant category codes in any way. Some purchases will not earn Rewards if the merchant’s category code is not included in a Reward category or is not in the Reward category you expect. Even if you purchase items at a merchant that appears to fit in a Rewards category, the merchant may not have an assigned merchant code in that Rewards category. When this occurs, transactions made with that merchant will not qualify for Rewards towards that specific category. You also may not receive Rewards if Buildertrend does not have sufficient transaction details for Rewards qualification such as when purchases are made through third-party payment accounts, mobile or wireless card readers, digital wallets, or similar technology.
Card transactions funded with Rewards do not generate additional Rewards. Cashback Rewards will not be awarded to rejected, failed, or reversed transactions, or any ATM transactions.
It is your responsibility to ensure that earned Rewards are properly accrued and credited in accordance with these Terms. If you think you were eligible for a Reward that was not properly credited to you or on your behalf, we can require that you submit documentary evidence to support your claim that is satisfactory to us. You must send your claim for an improperly credited Rewards within sixty (60) days after the date upon which the credit was applied or you claim such crediting was supposed to have occurred but did not. If you do not file your claim within sixty (60) days, Rewards earned will be deemed accurate and you will have waived any claim for adjustment. We reserve the right (but are not required) to correct inaccurate Rewards, and to adjust Rewards at our sole discretion. If we do not credit, or improperly deny, a Rewards redemption to which you were otherwise entitled, then your exclusive remedy will be the issuance of the improperly denied Rewards redemption, if available, or such other alternative benefit as we in our sole discretion may determine.
The Rewards associated with a given transaction may be modified or eliminated at any time, without prior notice to you, at our sole discretion. Any limits on purchase amounts or participant categories that apply to Rewards may also be modified or eliminated at any time, without prior notice to you, at our sole.
We may, without prior notice or liability to you, discontinue the Cashback Rewards Program or modify the Cashback Rewards Program by adding or removing features or functionalities, even though such changes may affect Rewards awarded to you. We may limit accrual and redemption of Rewards, including through caps, fees, and expiration.
The Rewards will be calculated utilizing the approved transactions from the Cards. Thirty (30) days after being earned, Rewards may be redeemed to the BT Wallet of Customer. Earned and redeemed Reward amounts can be viewed in the BT Wallet balance report.
All amounts paid to you in connection with the Cashback Rewards Program are exclusive of any applicable withholding, sales, use, excise, value added, or other taxes. You acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for determining, paying, withholding, filing, and reporting all taxes, duties, and other governmental assessments associated with your activity in connection with Rewards. We are not responsible for determining whether you owe taxes in connection with your access to or use of Rewards or for collecting, reporting, or remitting taxes arising from your access to or use of Rewards, except for our own income taxes.
You have no rights or other vested legal interest in accrued Rewards until they have been applied to your BT Wallet. Rewards may not be transferred or assigned to any other party, and any attempt to do so shall be void and of no legal effect. The sale or barter of any Rewards, other than by us, is expressly prohibited.
You may be disqualified from participating in the Cashback Rewards Program and your accrued Rewards may be forfeited if at any time you violate these Terms, the Agreement, or the Deposit and Cardholder Agreement, violate applicable law, or misuse your BT Wallet or any part of the Services.
3(i). Protective Measures Taken by Buildertrend.
Bank, or Buildertrend on its behalf, will “lock” a BT Wallet if it (i) suspects fraudulent activity or (ii) the BT Wallet has not been funded within thirty (30) calendar days of opening. “Lock” means the BT Wallet will be rendered unusable and that funds in your BT Wallet will be temporarily inaccessible to you, until restored by contacting wallet@buildertrend.com, or as otherwise required or permitted by Buildertrend, Bank, or applicable law. In the event a Customer’s BT Wallet is locked, access will be limited for Customer and Employee Users. Specifically, Customer and Employee Users will be unable to: (A) initiate transactions, or (B) use or activate Cards. In any event, BT Wallets may still receive transfers initiated outside their BT Wallet.
If a BT Wallet is locked due to suspected fraudulent activity, Buildertrend will investigate the suspected fraudulent activity and will, in its discretion, either (y) unlock the BT Wallet if the underlying suspicious activity is cleared, or (z) proceed with closure of the BT Wallet if fraudulent activity is confirmed or Customer requests account closure.
If BT Wallet is locked due to not being funded within thirty (30) calendar days of opening, Buildertrend will attempt to contact Customer to reengage. If Customer is unresponsive for thirty (30) calendar days following Buildertrend’s first attempted contact, Bank, and Buildertrend on its behalf, will close the BT Wallet in accordance with these Terms and the Deposit and Cardholder Agreement.
