3. Your Use of the PayBlox Services
Through the Website, you may submit a request (“Request”) to be matched with providers of transaction processing services (“Providers”). Each time you submit a Request, you are indicating that you desire to be contacted by Providers, and you are expressly requesting to have Providers or PayBlox contact you via email, text or phone, including for marketing purposes, using an automatic telephone dialing system or an artificial or prerecorded voice to the phone number that you have provided. You consent to receive emails, texts or phone calls from Providers or PayBlox at the email address and phone number you provided or at other addresses and numbers that may be associated with you that we receive from Providers or other parties. You hereby consent to any such email, text and call, so it will not be considered spam or unauthorized by any local, state or federal law or regulation. You agree that the consents described herein shall remain valid and in effect until you revoke them by opting out as described below.
You may opt out of receiving calls from PayBlox at any time by: (a) sending an email to PayBlox at Su*****@Pa*****.com to expressly state in writing that you no longer wish to be contacted by PayBlox and are revoking your consent to be contacted; (b) notifying a PayBlox customer service representative that you no longer wish to be contacted by PayBlox and are revoking your consent to be contacted; or (c) responding to any SMS, mobile, or text message you receive from PayBlox in accordance with the instructions of that message. You agree to notify any Provider directly if you no longer want to receive communications from that Provider. You further agree that PayBlox is not responsible for a Provider’s failure to follow your or our instructions to stop contacting you.
PayBlox is not a provider of transaction processing services; nor is it an agent of you or any Provider. Its services are only administrative. You agree you will rely on your own judgment and research independent of any communications or information you receive from PayBlox in deciding which available product, terms and Provider (if any) best suit your needs; and you will be solely responsible for the terms of, and compliance with, any agreement you enter into with a Provider.
PayBlox is not responsible for any errors or delays in responding to a Request.
Any Request you submit is an inquiry to be matched with Providers. You expressly authorize PayBlox to populate Providers’ application forms with information that you provide to PayBlox and to submit such application forms to those Providers on your behalf, although PayBlox shall have no obligation to do so. You understand that you may not be matched with any Provider.
The Provider is solely responsible for its services to you, and you agree that PayBlox shall not be liable for any damages or costs of any type arising out of or in any way connected with your use of such services or your interactions with any Provider.

By saving your information with PayBlox or submitting a Request, you represent that all the information you have provided is true, accurate, current and complete.
You agree to keep your login information confidential, to employ reasonable and appropriate safeguards to prevent unauthorized access to your PayBlox account, and to not share your account credentials with any third party or allow anyone else to log into the PayBlox Services as you. You are responsible for all activities that occur under your PayBlox account. If you believe that your account is no longer secure, you agree to notify us immediately.
Providers and PayBlox may maintain and share information provided by you and about you by third parties for purposes related to the provision of the PayBlox Services and transaction processing and related services. You expressly consent to the retention of this information for these purposes.
By submitting a Request, you are providing express written instructions under the Fair Credit Reporting Act for PayBlox and Providers with whom you are matched to obtain your consumer report or other information from consumer reporting agencies for the purpose of matching you to a Provider, product, or service. This information could include, but might not be limited to, your credit report, credit score, and other credit information.
PayBlox does not guarantee acceptance into any particular program or specific terms or conditions with any Provider. Approval standards are established and maintained solely by individual Providers. Likewise, we do not guarantee that pricing offered by Providers includes the lowest pricing available in the market or the pricing that the Providers will ultimately charge.
