How We Apply Your Payments

  2. We generally apply any payment more than the required minimum payment to the Principal Balance and will not consider it a payment of the next payment due.

Prepayment

There is no penalty for early payment of all or any part of your loan.

Conforming Payments

Your payment must be made in U.S. dollars from a valid U.S. deposit account in a form acceptable to us. Conforming payments can be made in the following ways:

  1. Automatic Payment. You may enroll in automatic payments during application. Additional disclosures will be available at the time of enrollment. By enrolling in automatic payments, you authorize us to debit your bank account by electronic means for the payment amount due on each due date.
  2. Payment by Mail. Send Checks at least 10 days before your due date to:

Interest Charges

The Interest Charges on your loan will be calculated as follows:

The interest owed for a billing period will be the Average Daily Balance, multiplied by the Periodic Rate.

Scheduled Payment

The payment schedule is set out in the Summary of Loan Terms. Your first payment will be due one month after the acceptance of your loan and monthly thereafter provided that if your loan is accepted on the 29th, 30th, or 31st, your due date will be the 1st of the month after next. For example, if you accept your loan on January 29th, then your first payment will be due on March 1st, and payments after that will be due on the 1st of the following months. You will receive a payment due email before your due date, which will include:

  1. The scheduled payment due including Finance Charges;
  2. Information about how to obtain your Payoff Amount; and
  3. The payment due date.

Statements for this loan are separate from other Square, Inc. products for which you may have an account and those account statements will not include the terms of this loan.

You should ensure emails from Square Capital are not being filtered out of your inbox or sent to a junk folder. If you do not receive an email, your payment will still be due on your regularly scheduled monthly due date.

If you miss a payment, your next payment must include the originally scheduled payment and the missed payment.

Finance Charge

The Finance Charge will be calculated assuming that every scheduled payment will be made on time and for the scheduled amount for the life of the loan. The total amount of finance charges you pay may differ from the Finance Charge in, and your final payment may vary from, the Summary of Loan Terms for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to late payments, missed payments, or changes to your due date. All outstanding principal and interest will be included in the final payment.

Information about your account will be provided through regular emails that may include:

  1. Your next scheduled payment amount including Finance Charges;
  2. Your next due date;
  3. Information about how to obtain your Payoff Amount; and/or

We will not accept or credit any other form of payment, including cash payments. We are not responsible if your financial institution rejects a payment you make. You will be responsible for any fees charged by your financial institution.

We may withdraw the funds from your deposit account as early as the same day we receive your payment.

Checks with Restrictive Words, Conditions, or Instructions

You agree not to send us Checks bearing restrictive words, conditions, limitations or special instructions or send any accompanying communications with any payment to any address.

The Law That Applies to Your Agreement

This Agreement and any dispute arising hereunder will be governed by Florida law and/or applicable federal law (including the Federal Arbitration Act) as applied to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within Florida, without regard to its choice of law or conflicts of law principles that would require application of law of a different jurisdiction.

Severability

Except as otherwise provided herein, if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such determination shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

Delay of Enforcement and Waiver

We will not lose any of our rights if we delay or choose not to take any action for any reason. We may waive our right without notifying you. For example, we may waive your Interest Charges without notifying you and without losing our right to charge them in the future.

Assignment

This Agreement will be binding on, and benefit, any of your and our successors and assigns. You may not sell, assign or transfer your loan or this Agreement to someone else without our written permission. We may sell, assign or transfer your loan and this Agreement in whole or in part without your permission and without prior notice to you. Any assignee or assignees will take our place under this Agreement. You must pay them and perform all of your obligations to them and not us. If you pay us after we notify you that we have transferred your loan or this Agreement, we can return the payment to you, forward the payment to the assignee, or handle it in another way that is reasonable.

If this agreement is sold or otherwise transferred, the borrower’s rights under the law or under this agreement are in no way altered or impaired.

Entire Agreement

This Agreement constitutes the current, sole and entire agreement between you and us with respect to this loan, and any and all prior terms and conditions with respect to the loan are superseded by this Agreement. You acknowledge and agree that no oral representations, practice or course of dealing between you and us, shall vary, modify or amend the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Any failure to exercise, or delay by us in exercising, any right or remedy shall not operate as a waiver thereof.

Binding Individual Arbitration

This arbitration provision does not apply to Military Borrowers.

You and Square Capital agree to arbitrate all disputes arising under or in connection with this Agreement or our relationship (collectively, a “Claim”). This includes Claims made by or against anyone connected to you or us, including any of our subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors, successors, or assigns and any authorized users or beneficiaries of the Square Capital program.

Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court and seeks to resolve Claims more quickly. Instead of a judge or a jury, the Claim will be decided by a neutral arbitrator.

  • YOU AND WE ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE A CLAIM IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL ON ANY CLAIM.
  • ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL ONLY BE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTIONS, AND CONSOLIDATION WITH OTHER ARBITRATIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED. AN ARBITRATOR CAN AWARD RELIEF ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. YOU WILL NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL RELATING TO ANY CLAIM.

Individual Claims filed in small claims court are not subject to this Arbitration Agreement, as long as the Claim remains in small claims court.

If any provision of this arbitration is found unenforceable, the entire arbitration agreement shall be terminated. The Arbitration Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16 (“FAA”).

All Claims shall be resolved finally and exclusively by binding individual arbitration with a single arbitrator administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) according to this provision and the applicable AAA rules, which may limit the discovery available to you or to us. You can obtain copies of the AAA rule and forms by contacting AAA at 1-800-778-7879 or www.adr.org. Any arbitration hearing that you attend will take place in the federal judicial district where you reside as of the date your loan is accepted. Square Capital will pay all arbitration fees.

The arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations, and will honor claims of privilege recognized at law.

The arbitrator’s award shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Military Annual Percentage Rate Statement:

Federal law provides important protections to members of the Armed Forces and their dependents relating to extensions of consumer credit. In general, the cost of consumer credit to a member of the Armed Forces and his or her dependent may not exceed an annual percentage rate of 36 percent. This rate must include, as applicable to the credit transaction or account: The costs associated with credit insurance premiums; fees for ancillary products sold in connection with the credit transaction; any application fee charged (other than certain application fees for specified credit transactions or accounts); and any participation fee charged (other than certain participation fees for a credit card account).

The amount of your payment is determined by the amount of funds that we lend to you, the interest rate we charge, and the term of the loan.
