7. SurePay

As a condition of utilizing PrePass® Plus, PrePass® Tolls, PrePass® Toll Management Services you are required to participate in the PrePass® SurePay Program. Under the PrePass® SurePay Program you must deliver a form of payment guarantee to the Alliance in a form and amount acceptable to the Alliance, including a bond, letter of credit, cash deposit or other acceptable form of payment guarantee. The amount of the SurePay Program coverage you must provide (the “Deposit Amount”) will be calculated based on, among other things, the estimated monthly service charges to be incurred by you and your credit report. The Deposit Amount is subject to change by the Alliance at any time, in our sole discretion. You agree that as a condition of continued use of the Services you consent to the use of consumer credit reports as may be necessary and for periodic review to maintain your participation in the SurePay Program. In all instances, you acknowledge the Alliance may periodically review the activity on your User Account and adjust your required Deposit Amount or other SurePay Program, if applicable, to reflect the average monthly charges and fees incurred by you. You may have more than one credit card charge or banking account withdrawal within a one-month period based on your usage and to ensure your Deposit Amount remains at the prescribed minimum amount. Additionally, the Alliance reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify, revoke or cancel any portion of the SurePay Program including but not limited to any extension of credit in any form and may refuse to extend future credit when and if applicable. You agree that you are responsible for maintaining a positive balance in your User Account at all times and you agree to allow recurring charges, when applicable, to maintain the required Deposit Amount. Furthermore, you authorize the Alliance to charge against the Deposit Amount or valid payment type to satisfy outstanding service debts and/or to maintain your minimum Deposit Amount, as determined by the Alliance in its sole discretion. Despite the forgoing, should your required Deposit Amount fall below the required minimum amount, the Alliance reserves the right to suspend your User Account until such time as the Deposit Amount is returned to the required minimum amount. The Alliance may determine in its sole discretion that your continued participation in the SurePay Program requires the establishment of an irrevocable letter of credit in favor of Alliance in an amount to be determined based on your actual or anticipated monthly service charges. 

8. PrePass® Toll Management Services

Subject to Section 9 below, your license plate(s) (“Plate”) not otherwise enrolled in a PrePass® Tolls Services Program (e.g., PrePass Plus or PrePass Tolls), are automatically eligible and may enroll in PrePass® Toll Management Services (Toll Violation Prevention and/or Toll Violation Settlement, as more fully described below). Upon the submission of your Plate list to the Alliance for participation in PrePass® Toll Management Services, the Alliance will enroll and enter your Plate list into each program as so indicated by you. The Alliance will update the enrolled Plate list as provided by you. In no event shall the Alliance be responsible for updating the enrolled Plate list should the Alliance not receive a timely Plate list from you. Furthermore, you acknowledge that Plate list updates may take at least three (3) business days to be effectuated by the applicable toll agency and the Alliance shall not be responsible for additional fees or charges associated with such delay. Nothing herein shall be interpreted as a guarantee by the Alliance that you will receive ZERO violations for an enrolled Plate, as factors outside the control of the Alliance may occur (e.g., misreads). In addition, some States do not process plate only reads and require you to have both a PrePass® device and associated plate entry for agency level violation processing. If you do not have both a PrePass® device and associated plate enrolled, violation coverage in those States is precluded. Participation in PrePass® Toll Management Services shall not exempt you from toll agency pass-through charges where applicable.

a. PrePass® Toll Management service – Toll Violation Prevention

i. For the Plate participating in PrePass® Toll Violation Prevention, the Alliance will provide the Enrollment Rate and Usage Rate reflected in the Fee Schedule in Section 18 (vi) below. 

ii. Enrolled plates participating in PrePass® Toll Management Violation Prevention, which incur a toll charge during a particular month will be assessed a single fee per Plate, per month, regardless of the number of toll transactions for that participating Plate (“Usage Rate”). If any participating Plate incurs a toll charge in two (2) consecutive months, such Plate shall be automatically enrolled in the applicable PrePass® Toll Services Program and subject to the terms thereof, beginning in the month immediately following the consecutive Usage Rate charge. If a participating Plate subject to automatic enrollment does not qualify for enrollment in a PrePass® Services Program, the non-qualifying Plate shall continue to be subject to the monthly Usage Rate as described herein until such time as such Plate qualifies for the applicable PrePass® Services Program.

b. PrePass® Toll Management Service – Toll Violation Settlement

i. For plates participating in PrePass® Toll Violation Settlement, the Alliance will attempt to settle outstanding violation(s) with respective tolling authorities incurred prior to enrollment of such plates in any PrePass® Toll Services Program or PrePass® Toll Violation Prevention, or as otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties; and receive the Service Fee per settlement as reflected in the Fee Schedule and as further described in applicable PrePass® Toll Violation Settlement documents including but not limited to the PrePass® Toll Management Violation Settlement Memorandum of Understanding. 

9. Toll Violation Processing and Fees

All toll violation fees and transaction assessments against your User Account are your responsibility at all times. 

a. In the event you incur a toll violation, you must notify us immediately and send us copies of toll violation notices within three (3) days of receipt of such notice to allow us to better assist you in an effort to avoid additional toll authority charges and fees that may result from escalated actions. The Alliance will process violation notices submitted to the Alliance for any Plate that is not registered in the User Account or participating in PrePass® Toll Management Services at a fee of $5.00 per toll violation transaction. All assessed violation tolls and applicable fees will be invoiced to you on your PrePass® invoice as per the Fee Schedule below. In addition, you authorize the Alliance to work with the applicable toll authority to try to reduce or waive toll authority assessed violation fees on any toll violation that is eligible for reduction or waiver based on the toll authority rules and regulations. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in obtaining a reduction or waiver on your behalf. Failure to submit applicable vehicle and Plate information with each violation notice submission, including the Device ID and/or Equipment ID of the vehicle that incurred the violation, will impede our ability to assist you in obtaining a toll violation reduction or waiver. 

b. In the event you wish to dispute a non-violation related toll transaction, you must notify the Alliance in writing at the following address within sixty (60) days of the posted transaction date; in no event shall a toll dispute be reviewed if such dispute is received more than sixty (60) days after the posted transaction date of the transaction. Toll disputes should be sent to [email protected] and must include your User Account and Plate information, along with the detail of the transaction(s) being disputed. Upon proper receipt of a toll dispute, the Alliance will review the nature of the toll dispute and determine in its sole discretion if any account credit is due. Nothing herein shall be construed as to guarantee an account credit where a dispute is received. 

10. Alliance Devices

Any transponder or other electronic device of any nature, software and equipment, including but not limited to any item bearing the PrePass® logo issued to you by or on behalf of the Alliance shall collectively be referred to as an “Alliance Device” or “Alliance Devices”.

The Alliance Devices are to be assigned to a specific vehicle and are not to be removed, transferred, or temporarily used with another vehicle without prior notification to the Alliance.

Without limiting the foregoing, we do not guarantee that the Services will allow you to bypass all participating PrePass® facilities at all times, and you must enter and/or stop at a PrePass® participating facility and follow such facility’s specific instructions, as applicable, unless an Alliance Device provides a bypass signal.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, we will replace, at no cost to you, any Alliance Device that fails to work properly as long as such failure was not caused by the actions or inactions of you or your employees, contractors, agents, or representatives. 

12. Return of Alliance Devices

You are responsible for such Alliance Devices, including any toll or violation charges incurred by or assessed against such device, until they are received by us.

A Claim by, or on behalf of, other persons will not be considered in, joined with, or consolidated with, the arbitration proceedings between you and us. Any dispute regarding the prohibitions in the prior sentence shall be resolved by the arbitrator in accordance with this arbitration provision. 

The arbitration tribunal shall consist of a single arbitrator mutually agreed upon by you and us, or, in the absence of such agreement within 30 days from the first referral of the dispute to the AAA, the arbitrator will be designated by the AAA. The arbitrator shall be an active member in good standing of the bar for any state in the continental United States and shall be either actively engaged in the practice of law for at least five years or a retired judge. You and we understand that in arbitration, discovery is more limited than in a court and review by courts is very limited. You and we agree that the arbitrator shall: (a) limit discovery to non-privileged matters directly relevant to the arbitrated Claim; (b) grant only relief that is based upon and consistent with substantial evidence and applicable substantive law; (c) have authority to grant relief only with respect to Claims asserted by or against you individually; and (d) provide a written statement stating the disposition of each Claim and a concise written explanation of the basis for the award and shall make specific findings of fact and conclusions of law to support any arbitration award. The place of arbitration shall be Maricopa County, Arizona, and you will be given the opportunity to attend the proceeding and be heard. The arbitral award shall be final and binding. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding this arbitration provision, you and we retain the right to seek relief in a small claims court in the state or municipality of our respective places of business within the jurisdictional limits of the small claims court and as long as such matter is only pending in that court. 

Nothing in this arbitration provision shall limit the right of you or us, whether before, during, or after the pendency of any arbitration proceeding, to exercise any self-help remedies or to seek judicial assistance to: (a) compel arbitration; (b) obtain provisional or ancillary remedies or measures of protection prior to or pending arbitration; (c) seek injunctive relief in the courts of any jurisdiction as may be necessary and appropriate to enforce intellectual property rights; and (d) enforce any decision of the arbitrator, including the final award. You and we agree that the taking of these actions or any other participation in such litigation by you or us does not waive any right that either you or we have to demand arbitration at any time with respect to any subsequent or amended Claim filed against you or us after commencement of litigation between you and us. In no event shall you or we be entitled to punitive, exemplary, or similar damages. Unless inconsistent with applicable law, and except as otherwise provided herein, you and we shall each bear the expense of our respective attorney, expert, and witness fees, regardless of whether you or we prevail in the arbitration. The arbitrator will decide whether we or you ultimately will be responsible for paying any fees or other costs in connection with the arbitration under the AAA Rules. 

Demand for arbitration under these Terms must be made before the date when any judicial action upon the same Claim would be barred under any applicable statute of limitations; otherwise, the Claim also is barred in arbitration. Any dispute as to whether any statute of limitations, estoppel, waiver, laches, or other doctrine bars the arbitration of any Claim shall be decided by arbitration in accordance with the provisions of these Terms. If any portion of this arbitration provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions of this arbitration provision will remain valid and enforceable. This arbitration provision shall survive expiration or termination of these Terms.

d. Assignment

You may not assign all or part of any rights and/or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent, which may be withheld in our sole and absolute discretion. We may assign our rights and/or obligations under these Terms without restriction and without your prior written consent.

e. Severability

If any of the provisions of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of these Terms shall remain in effect and shall be enforceable as if not containing the invalid or unenforceable clause.

f. Waiver

If any of the provisions of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of these Terms shall remain in effect and shall be enforceable as if not containing the invalid or unenforceable clause.

g. Notices

Notices to you under these Terms will be sent to your billing address or email address in our records. All notices to us that are intended to have a legal effect must be in writing and delivered by a means evidenced by a delivery receipt, to PrePass® Legal Department, 101 E.

h. Calls and Messages

You agree that we, including our service providers and agents, may use automated telephone dialing, text messaging systems and electronic mail to provide messages to you or contact you about scheduled payments, customer surveys missed payments and with other important information regarding your User Account and this Agreement or your relationship with us.

You authorize us to call or send a text message to any telephone number you have given us or you give to us in the future. You also give us permission to communicate such information to you by e-mail. In the event the communication is a customer survey, your response is voluntary and will be kept anonymous unless you choose to identify yourself or unless identification of a respondent is necessary to ensure compliance with, or investigate possible violations of, law or Alliance Terms of Service. The Alliance will use your response in its sole discretion including but not limited to advertising, marketing and for publication in various forms; you expressly authorize the Alliance to publish your responses, in whole or in part, for any purpose at the Alliance’s sole discretion. If you are given an opportunity to submit free-form responses to a survey, refrain from including in your response your personal information. Survey results may be stored and archived for future access and use by the Alliance, its agents, affiliates, successors or assigns. You understand that, when you receive calls, texts or e-mails from the Alliance, you may incur a charge from the company that provides you with telecommunications, wireless and/or internet services. You agree that we will not be liable to you for any fees, inconvenience, annoyance or loss of privacy in connection with such calls, texts or e-mails. You understand that anyone with access to your telephone, answering machine or email account may listen to or read the messages, notwithstanding our efforts to communicate only with you. This authorization is part of our bargain concerning your use of the Services and this Agreement and we do not intend it to be revocable. However, to the extent we are required by applicable law to allow you to revoke your consent to these automatic reminders, you may do so by contacting us at the PrePass Service Center at the address or phone number shown in Section 24 below.
