CANCELLATION / CHANGE OF ACCOUNT

The agreement represented by this authorization remains in effect until canceled in writing by the payee or until the program is suspended or terminated by GAP Solutions, Inc. Payments to you will be deposited into the account designated below until GAP Solutions, Inc. is notified in writing that you wish to cancel this authorization or designate a different Financial Institution or account. Six (6) to ten (10) banking days are needed to execute your instructions. To make any changes, you must submit a new Authorization Form with the updated information. If any action or inaction taken by the payee results in non-acceptance of an EFT deposit by the designated Financial Institution, payee acknowledges that GAP Solutions, Inc. has no responsibility to issue another payment until the funds for the non-accepted deposit are returned to GAP Solutions, Inc. by the Financial Institution. If non-acceptance by the Financial Institution is the result of action or inaction taken by the payee, late fees and penalties including consequential damages caused by this non-acceptance do not apply. Please DO NOT CLOSE YOUR ACCOUNT UNTIL ONE WEEK AFTER NOTIFYING GAP Solutions, Inc.

RECOVERY OF FUNDS DEPOSITED IN ERROR

In the event that an erroneous EFT payment occurs, creating an over-payment, GAP Solutions, Inc. reserves the right to debit your account for an amount not to exceed the amount of the erroneous EFT payment. In the event that a debit adjustment cannot be implemented, GAP Solutions, Inc. may utilize any other lawful means to recover payments to which the account holder is not entitled, including deducting the amount owed from future payments until the total over-payment is recovered. By signing this form, account holder(s) acknowledge their acceptance of these terms and conditions.

I/We certify that I/we have read and understand the information contained in Section B, above. I/We authorize GAP Solutions, Inc. to deposit payments and make over-payment adjusting debits to my/our account as designated below. I certify that I am authorized to enter into this agreement on behalf of the account holder.

5. International ACH Transaction: The National Automated Clearing House Association (NACHA) requires International ACH Transactions (IAT) be identified.

6. Email Address: Provide an email address to receive notification each time a payment is made, and other pertinent information, as may be needed.

7. Name and Address: We must have your company or organization name if you are a business. If you are an individual home based child care provider, or a sole proprietor, we must have your individual name. Also, since there is a small possibility that a payment may have to be mailed to you, an address must be provided. For center based and home based child care providers, this is the mailing address where you receive payments against your invoices.

All of the individuals named on a Consumer or Personal Account must sign this form. If held by more than one person, the joint account holder must also authorize these EFT transactions.
