8. LINE’S PERSONAL FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT SERVICES
8.1 Overview of the Personal Financial Management Services
If you subscribe to Line it includes Personal Financial Management Services, you will have access to “Budget”, “Smart Alerts”, and your external bank accounts. With Budget, we track your income and expenses, and we let you know about estimated upcoming bills and other expenses. Budget will monitor your linked bank account held at a depository institution (a “Linked Account”) and let you know when you’re in danger of having insufficient funds in your Linked Account, helping you avoid overdrafts, returned transactions and bank fees. Smart alerts is a service that informs you about potential financial pitfalls 72 hours ahead of time. Cash back offers let you get up to 20% cash back on purchases that you frequently make. You will be required to link your credit and debit card to Line and it’s partners to get notified of available offers and activate them. Line may receive compensation from CashBack program partners when we successfully connect users to these opportunities. Line also provides Credit Monitoring and identity theft protection that keeps tab on your personal information and ensures it is not compromised like being used by a fraudster pretending to be you and covers you up to $1M for issues that arise from it while helping you reestablish your identity. Line also provides tax returns filing services along with estimating tax due or refunds.
8.2 Subscription Fee
Line tries to help as many people as possible but may not be able to help everyone. After Line has determined if it can help you, it will present available plans to you. Line has 3 plans with plans starting as low as $2.47/month (“Subscription”) to maintain a connection to your external bank account through third-party services, to access our account monitoring and notification services, and the Personal Financial Services. Line deducts the Subscription from your Linked Account or a linked debit card. The fee will be charged regardless of the status of your connection. If you are experiencing connectivity issues, please try to update your connected bank’s log-in credentials. If the Membership charge fails, by agreeing to these terms, you authorize Line to process any failed or missed Subscription charges together with the following month's Subscription. Should all attempts fail, Line reserves the right to charge the fee from another one of your connected checking accounts or debit card. You will be billed for your first Subscription on a monthly basis and always upfront. To help you keep your Line services in active status and avoid late fees, your subscription for every immediate next month will be collected in advance as soon as we detect funds in your account. This will also protect you from incurring late fees of $5 every month for every missed subscription, capped to $15 in aggregate late fees. You may either pause your subscription through the Mobile App or notify us by email at
[email protected] if you do not want to renew your subscription.
8.3 Late fee for non-payment of active subscription
Our intention is not to charge any late fees to access Line’s services. Line will assume you will need the services you have subscribed to, in order to keep the services on. If there is a delay in payment of subscription fees only, then we would be incurring cost, which is why you may incur a late fee. A late fee is applicable for active users whenever the subscription is not paid within 15 days after the end of the current subscription cycle i.e. 30 days. A late fee of $5 is billed for every missed subscription and it accumulates to $15 in the next 3 months if the subscription is still unpaid. For 3 consecutive misses without any payment, the subscription status of the user will become inactive from the next billing cycle onwards. In case the user pays the subscription in these 3 months, the subscription becomes active again and the user can continue availing the services. In case of a financial hardship, the user can apply for a late fee waiver from the Mobile App, which will be evaluated for consideration.
8.4 Linking a Bank Account
It is important to note that in order to use Line services, you must link your own bank account. You cannot link an account belonging to your spouse or anyone in the family and friends. If we identify at any time on or after your Line onboarding that the account that you have linked with Line does not belong to you, then your Line account services might get stopped or interrupted immediately in violation of the terms. The name on the bank account must match with the name provided as part of your PII details while signing up for a Line account. You might not get a refund of the services fee paid already. Line reserves the right to refill the dues in your Line account, from your debit card or bank account linked with Line account.
9. Account-accrued Monetary Value™(AMV™) A.K.A - Line
9.1 Overview of the Account-accrued Monetary Value™(AMV™)
Line offers AMV™ as part of it's personal financial management suite of services. It is one of the many features delivered as part of the Line subscription that starts as low as $2.47/month. This feature has no fee associated with it, no credit scores or FICO credit checks are performed to deliver this service, using this service will not impact your credit, there is no interest associated with this service, there are no late fees for this service, there are no finance charges to use this service and there is no due date when you use this service which means funds delivered as part of this service are not due on Pay Day and being unable to refill the funds automatically on or before Pay Day does not result in any fees or issues. However, just like the funds are not due on Pay Day, similarly your funds can be refilled as soon as fund arrive in your account at any time as AMV™ is delivered in lieu of funds you are entitled to ahead of time for emergencies and when funds arrive into your account it is automatically refilled. In other words, not having due date works both ways You might be able to refill the funds at a later time if funds you are entitled to are delayed but you may refill the funds ahead of time if funds you are entitled to arrive early. This service uses data from one or more accounts that you link to use Line so you can manage your financial life better to deliver funds entitled to you and scheduled to arrive at a later time net of obligations (each, a “Line”) as part of its Account-accrued Monetary Value™(AMV™) a.k.a “Line” service. If you have subscribed to Line's personal financial management services and we detect that you are likely to
have insufficient funds for upcoming transactions in your Linked Account based on your previous account activity, we will alert you to the possibility of having insufficient funds through the Mobile App, SMS messages and/or email. Eligible users will be offered the opportunity to receive a free “Line” to their Linked Account or debit card, if applicable. You may also log into the Mobile App and request a Line at any time. In all cases, you must affirmatively choose to receive or withdraw a Line. The amount of each Line you are eligible for is based on, among other things, whether you have an active account with transactions that directly relate to funds you are entitled to coming into that account like alimony, govt benefits, income, side gigs, regular transfers etc along with regular expenses a.k.a obligations you have tied to those transactions in other words Line's patent pending proprietary innovative Account-accrued Monetary Value™(AMV™) solution determines the accrued value which is funds you are entitled to, scheduled to arrive into your account at a later date net of obligations via a advance analysis of your deposits and transaction history. The amount could be between $10 - $200. We reserve the right to adjust Line amounts and our eligibility criteria at any time. As noted above, all Lines are free. You are not required to make voluntary payments referred to as 'Tips' or 'Donations' in appreciation of the service provided.
9.2 Instant Transfer Fees
You may request that Line expedite disbursement of your Line using non-standard non-free methods by choosing that option on your own and may have to pay fees related to the same. There are multiple free disbursement methods available and you can choose any of them. You are not obliged to choose the non-standard non-free method. While you can generally receive a Line within three (3) business days depending on processing times, if you choose the non-standard option and pay the fee, we will use a faster delivery method that will deliver the Line to you within 8 hours. The fee structure is as follows -
Subscription Plan | Fee for Non-standard instant disbursement |
Small | $4 |
Medium | $2 |
When you request a Line and choose the non-standard non-free option to expedite disbursement of the Line, we will disclose the amount to you again through the Mobile App before you make your selection. The fee is auto collected with your Line.
9.3 Refilling your Line
Each Line is auto-refilled as your funds arrive into your account because the Line was provided in lieu of funds entitled to you arriving into your account ahead of time, so when the funds arrive Line will detect this and begin the auto-refilling process including partially refilling your Line over time which means when funds arrive sooner, refill will occur sooner and when funds arrive later than anticipated funds will be refilled later giving you the ultimate flexibility. We reserve the right to charge your Linked Account or debit card for Line any time after the later of: (1) we see evidence of funds you are entitled to deposited into your Linked Account or (2) the date selected by you through the Mobile App. However, Line warrants that it has no legal or contractual claim against you based on a failure to repay a Line, but Line will not provide you further Lines while any amount remains un-refilled under the “Line” Service. With respect to a failure to refill a Line, Line warrants it will not engage in any debt collection activities, place the amount owed with or sell to a third party, or report you to a consumer reporting agency. Line does not waive any rights regarding fraudulent activity, and Line will pursue instances of fraud. Although Line is helping users avoid financial emergencies, Line is not responsible for these emergencies including 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. Line may reach out to you via phone call, email, sms, app notifications to inform you of what has happened, its impact to you and the community. Line may also help you over come your situation so you can continue to improve your financial health via the Line subscription. Line monitors your balance and will attempt to ensure you have sufficient funds before debiting your account, but Line makes no warranties that an overdraft will not occur.

You shall cooperate as fully as reasonably required in the defense of any such claim. Line reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you. You agree not to settle any matter without the prior written consent of Line.
24. DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION
YOU HAVE READ THIS PROVISION CAREFULLY AND UNDERSTAND THAT IT LIMITS YOUR RIGHTS IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND US. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REJECT THIS PROVISION AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 24.3 BELOW.
24.1 Election to Arbitrate. You and Line agree that the sole and exclusive forum and remedy for resolution of a Claim be final and binding arbitration pursuant to this Section 26 (the “Arbitration Provision”), unless you opt out as provided in Section 24.3 below. As used in this Arbitration Provision, “Claim” shall include any past, present, or future claim, dispute, or controversy involving you (or persons claiming through or connected with you), on the one hand, and us on the other hand, relating to or arising out of this Agreement, and/or the activities or relationships that involve, lead to, or result from this Agreement, including (except to the extent provided otherwise in the last sentence of Section 24.8 below) the validity or enforceability of this Arbitration Provision, any part thereof, or the entire Agreement. Claims are subject to arbitration regardless of whether they arise from contract; tort (intentional or otherwise); a constitution, statute, common law, or principles of equity; or otherwise. Claims include matters arising as initial claims, counter‐claims, cross-claims, third-party claims, or otherwise. Please note that you may continue to assert Claims in small claims court, if your Claims qualify and so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis. The scope of this Arbitration Provision is to be given the broadest possible interpretation that is enforceable.
24.2 Applicability of the Federal Arbitration Act; Arbitrator’s Powers. This Arbitration Provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce and shall be governed by and enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act (the “FAA”). The arbitrator will apply substantive law consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations. The arbitrator may award damages or other types of relief permitted by applicable substantive law, subject to the limitations set forth in this Arbitration Provision. The arbitrator will not be bound by judicial rules of procedure and evidence that would apply in a court. The arbitrator shall take steps to reasonably protect confidential information.
24.3 Opt-Out of Arbitration Provision. You may opt out of this Arbitration Provision for all purposes by sending an arbitration opt out notice to
[email protected], within 60 days of the date of your electronic acceptance of the terms of this Agreement. The opt out notice must clearly state that you are rejecting arbitration; identify the Agreement to which it applies by date; provide your name, address, and social security number; and be signed by you. You may send an opt-out notice in any manner you see fit as long as it is received at the specified address within the specified time. No other methods can be used to opt out of this Arbitration Provision. If the opt out notice is sent on your behalf by a third party, such third party must include evidence of his or her authority to submit the opt out notice on your behalf.
24.4 Informal Dispute Resolution. If a Claim arises, our goal is to learn about and address your concerns and, if we are unable to do so to your satisfaction, to provide you with a neutral and cost effective means of resolving the dispute quickly. You agree that before filing any claim in arbitration, you may submit Claims by sending an email to
[email protected] at any time.
24.5 Arbitration Procedures. The party initiating arbitration shall do so with the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) or Judicial Alternatives and Mediation Services (“JAMS”). The arbitration shall be conducted according to, and the location of the arbitration shall be determined in accordance with, the rules and policies of the administrator selected, except to the extent the rules conflict with this Arbitration Provision or any countervailing law. If you have any questions concerning the AAA or would like to obtain a copy of the AAA arbitration rules, you may call 1(800) 778-7879 or visit the AAA's web site at: http://www.adr.org . If you have any questions concerning JAMS or would like to obtain a copy of the JAMS arbitration rules, you may call 1(800) 352-5267 or visit their web site at: http://www.jamsadr.com . In the case of a conflict between the rules and policies of the administrator and this Arbitration Provision, this Arbitration Provision shall control, subject to countervailing law, unless all parties to the arbitration consent to have the rules and policies of the administrator apply. The arbitration will be held in the United States county where you live or work, or any other location we agree to.
24.6 Arbitration Fees. If we elect arbitration, we shall pay all the administrator's filing costs and administrative fees (other than hearing fees). If you elect arbitration, filing costs and administrative fees (other than hearing fees) shall be paid in accordance with the rules of the administrator selected, or in accordance with countervailing law if contrary to the administrator's rules. We shall pay the administrator's hearing fees for one full day of arbitration hearings. Fees for hearings that exceed one day will be paid by the party requesting the hearing, unless the administrator's rules or applicable law require otherwise, or you request that we pay them and we agree to do so. Each party shall bear the expense of its own attorneys' fees, except as otherwise provided by law. If a statute gives you the right to recover any of these fees, these statutory rights shall apply in the arbitration notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein.
24.7 Appeals. Within 30 days of a final award by the arbitrator, any party may appeal the award for reconsideration by a three-arbitrator panel selected according to the rules of the arbitrator administrator. In the event of such an appeal, any opposing party may cross-appeal within 30 days after notice of the appeal. The panel will reconsider de novo all aspects of the initial award that are appealed. Costs and conduct of any appeal shall be governed by this Arbitration Provision and the administrator's rules, in the same way as the initial arbitration proceeding. Any award by the individual arbitrator that is not subject to appeal, and any panel award on appeal, shall be final and binding, except for any appeal right under the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
24.8 No Class Actions. NO ARBITRATION SHALL PROCEED ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE BASIS (INCLUDING AS PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ON BEHALF OF OTHERS), EVEN IF THE CLAIM OR CLAIMS THAT ARE THE SUBJECT OF THE ARBITRATION HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN ASSERTED (OR COULD HAVE BEEN ASSERTED) IN A COURT AS CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE ACTIONS IN A COURT. Unless consented to in writing by all parties to the arbitration, no party to the arbitration may join, consolidate, or otherwise bring claims for or on behalf of two or more individuals or unrelated corporate entities in the same arbitration unless those persons are parties to a single transaction. Unless consented to in writing by all parties to the arbitration, an award in arbitration shall determine the rights and obligations of the named parties only, and only with respect to the claims in arbitration, and shall not (a) determine the rights, obligations, or interests of anyone other than a named party, or resolve any Claim of anyone other than a named party; nor (b) make an award for the benefit of, or against, anyone other than a named party. No administrator or arbitrator shall have the power or authority to waive, modify, or fail to enforce this Section 26.8, and any attempt to do so, whether by rule, policy, arbitration decision or otherwise, shall be invalid and unenforceable. Any challenge to the validity of this Section 25.8 shall be determined exclusively by a court and not by the administrator or any arbitrator.
24.9 Survival and Severability of Arbitration Provision. This Arbitration Provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement. If any portion of this Arbitration Provision other than Section 24.10 is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions of this Arbitration Provision shall nevertheless remain valid and in force. If there is a final judicial determination that applicable law precludes enforcement of this Arbitration Provision’s limitations as to a particular claim for relief or particular term, then that claim (and only that claim) or that term (and only that term) must be severed from the Arbitration Provision and may be brought in court. If an arbitration is brought on a class, representative, or collective basis, and the limitations on such proceedings in Section 24.8 are finally adjudicated pursuant to the last sentence of Section 24.8 to be unenforceable, then no arbitration shall be had. In no event shall any invalidation be deemed to authorize an arbitrator to determine Claims or make awards beyond those authorized in this Arbitration Provision.
24.11 Judicial Forum for Claims. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, in the event that this Arbitration Provision is found not to apply to you or your Claim, you and Line agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in the federal or state courts of Los Angeles County, California. Both you and Line consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there. We both agree to waive our right to a jury trial.
24.12 WAIVER OF RIGHT TO LITIGATE. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO LITIGATE CLAIMS THROUGH A COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY, BUT WILL NOT HAVE THAT RIGHT IF ANY PARTY ELECTS ARBITRATION PURSUANT TO THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION. THE PARTIES HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVE THEIR RIGHTS TO LITIGATE SUCH CLAIMS IN A COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY UPON ELECTION OF ARBITRATION BY ANY PARTY.
25. GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE
Except for Section 24 which is governed by the FAA, this Agreement and all Claims are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
26. ELECTRONIC FUND TRANSFER DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
The following disclosures are made in accordance with the federal law regarding electronic payments, deposits, transfers of funds and other electronic transfers. There may be limitations on your Linked Account or debit card that restrict your ability to make electronic fund transfers. Any such limits are disclosed in the appropriate agreements governing your Linked Account or debit card. The disclosures in this Section 24 apply to all Services described in this Agreement.
26.1 Definitions.
-
Electronic Fund Transfer : Any transfer of funds that is initiated through an electronic device or computer to instruct us to debit or credit a Linked Account or debit card. Electronic Fund Transfers include such electronic transactions transfers initiated via telephone or the Mobile App.
-
Preauthorized Electronic Fund Transfer : An Electronic Fund Transfer that you have authorized in advance to recur at substantially regular intervals; for example, withdrawal of funds out of your Linked Account to pay the Subscription Fee.
-
Unauthorized Electronic Fund Transfer is an Electronic Fund Transfer initiated by a person other than you who does not have actual, implied, or apparent authority to initiate the transfer, and from which you do not benefit. If you give access to your Mobile App user account to another person, all payments by that person are authorized unless and until you notify us that payments by that person are no longer authorized.
26.2 Your Liability.
-
Authorized Transfers : You are liable for all Electronic Fund Transfers that you authorize, whether directly or indirectly.
-
Unauthorized Transfers : Tell us at once if you believe your Mobile App Login ID or password has been lost or stolen or if your Mobile App user account has been, or may have been, subject to Unauthorized Electronic Fund Transfers. Contact us immediately to keep your possible losses to a minimum. You could lose all the money in your Linked Account(s).
-
If you tell us within four (4) business days after learning of the loss or theft of your Mobile App Login ID or password or after learning of any other Unauthorized Electronic Fund Transfers associated with your Mobile App user account, you can lose no more than $50. However, if you DO NOT tell us within four (4) business days after learning of the loss, theft or unauthorized use associated with your Mobile App user account, and we can establish that we could have prevented the Unauthorized Electronic Fund Transfer(s) if you had told us in time, you could lose as much as $500.
-
If your periodic account statement issued by your bank or financial institution shows Unauthorized Electronic Fund Transfers and you DO NOT tell us within ninety (90) days after the statement was delivered to you, you may not get back any money you lose after the ninety (90) day period if we can prove that we could have prevented the unauthorized transfer(s) if you had told us in time. If an extenuating circumstance (such as extended travel or hospitalization) prevents you from promptly notifying us of a suspected lost or stolen Mobile App Login ID or password or of any other suspected Unauthorized Electronic Fund Transfers(s), the time periods specified in this Section 28.2 may be extended for a reasonable period.
26.3 Business Days. For purposes of this Section 28, Line business days are Monday through Friday. Holidays are not included.
26.4 Types of Transfers; Limitations. You may use the Services to request and receive Lines to your Linked Account or debit card, to repay such Lines in the amounts and on the days you request, to pay voluntary tips to Line, and to pay the monthly Subscription Fee.

Through the Mobile App you may also authorize recurring preauthorized Electronic Fund Transfers from your Linked Account to pay for the Subscription Fee. See Section 11 for more information about stopping payment of preauthorized Electronic Fund Transfers.
Transfers between your Linked Account and Line, as well as payments made to third parties through the Send a Check service, are governed by the Line Deposit Account Agreement, available here. Please refer to that agreement for information concerning any limitations that may apply to these transfers and payments.
26.5 Fees. Line charges no fees to access a Line. However, you may choose to pay an Instant Transfer Fee to expedite a Line as set forth in Section 9.2.
26.6 Documentation.

You are responsible for reviewing payment history and transaction history, if applicable, and maintaining copies for your records.
26.7 Our Liability. See Sections 22 and 24 above. If Line does not debit or credit your Linked Account or debit card in accordance with these Terms, we will be liable for your losses or damages. However, there are some exceptions. We will not be liable, for instance:
-
If, through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money in your Linked Account or debit card to make a payment.
-
If the Linked Account or debit card you specify as the payment source is closed or does not contain sufficient funds to complete the payment or the charge is rejected or returned by your bank or financial institution.
-
If the Services were not working properly and you knew about the problems when you started your payment.
-
If we cannot complete a payment due to fraud or attacks on our systems or the Services.
-
If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood) prevent a payment, despite reasonable precautions we have taken.
-
There may be other exceptions stated in our Agreement with you.
26.8 Confidentiality Related to Electronic Fund Transfers. We will disclose information to third parties about the Electronic Fund Transfers you make through the Services:
