To satisfy your obligations under the LEASE, you grant and set over to DepositCloud all rights, title and interest in the Account and in all renewals, additions and proceeds thereof. You agree that the rights granted to DepositCloud hereunder give DepositCloud the unrestricted right and ability to collect and withdraw all or any part of funds held in the Account as follows: (1) to make disbursements to COMMUNITY of all amounts then on deposit in the Account, on a periodic basis, to be applied by COMMUNITY to reduce your move-out or lease charge obligations under the LEASE, (2) if requested by COMMUNITY, upon any default by you under the LEASE in satisfaction of your obligations thereunder, or (3) in the event your Account is terminated for any reason as hereinafter set forth. You acknowledge and agree that DepositCloud has exclusive control over the Account for the purpose of administering the Account. You may not make any withdrawals from the Account until all obligations under the LEASE have been satisfied in full and, thereafter, only upon termination of the Account in accordance with this Agreement. The funds deposited by you into the Account will be held in a trust account maintained in the name of DepositCloud or one of its affiliates, with a Federally insured (FDIC) banking institution; therefore, no interest will be paid to you on the Account. You agree that if the Account is closed for any reason, DepositCloud will apply funds in the Account toward any balance owed to COMMUNITY under the LEASE. If there are still funds remaining in the Account after doing so, these funds may remain on deposit for up to 60 days before being remitted to you. See the Account Agreement below.
Move-out & Refund Process: Within 21 days of final move-out completion, RESIDENT(S) will be provided online access, as well as notification by email and/or SMS (opt-in/opt-out) to your final move-out statement (First Class mailed move-out statements may be requested, unless required by local or state statute.)

RESIDENT(S) may select any available funding method as described but not limited to, ACH, credit to debit card, Google Pay, Apple Pay, Venmo, or physical check via First Class mail. RESIDENT(S) acknowledges they may select a payment option that includes a nonrefundable enrollment fee, and/or monthly maintenance fee during payment schedule. These non-refundable amounts are not included in the refundable value accrued.

  • 1.) Our Rights Over Your Account: For the purpose of remitting amounts to COMMUNITY to satisfy the obligations under your LEASE as they become due, you grant and set over to DepositCloud all rights, title and interest in the Account and in all renewals, additions and proceeds thereof. No portion of the Account will be available to you or may be used to secure loans or other obligations. The debts and obligations to be satisfied from funds deposited in the Account are comprised solely of certain amounts owed to COMMUNITY pursuant to the LEASE, and this Agreement does not create or impose any independent debt, obligation, charge or other amount owed to DepositCloud or any other third party (other than COMMUNITY ), except as otherwise specified herein. The rights granted by you to DepositCloud in the Account include and give DepositCloud the ability to make settlements or compromises on the Account solely in accordance with the terms of the LEASE; and transfer any funds deposited in the Account to COMMUNITY as the COMMUNITY ’S servicing agent. For the avoidance of doubt, any and all deposited funds in the Account from the first (1st) calendar day of any month through the last day of such month will be transferred to COMMUNITY on the fifteenth (15th) calendar day of the following month, even if such deposited funds exceed the Monthly Payment, until all amounts remaining on the Payment Plan are satisfied. Prior to DepositCloud making disbursements from the Account, you waive any right to require DepositCloud to: (i) proceed against you or any other person; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security you have provided to us through other agreements; or (iii) pursue any other remedy in DepositCloud’s power.
  • 2.) Our Rights Upon Your Default: In the event of any breach by you of our terms and conditions, or breech of your community lease obligations, DepositCloud shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement and close your Account at the direction of COMMUNITY, at which time the funds in the Account will be applied toward satisfaction of any amounts remaining on the Payment Plan owed to COMMUNITY. If DepositCloud waives or delays exercising a right, it does not forfeit that right or any others. Until fully paid, all obligations under the LEASE are satisfied, and you have no further obligations under this Agreement, you will subordinate in favor of DepositCloud any right of subrogation and any right to enforce any remedy any bank now has or may later have.
  • 3.) Closing Your Account; Returning the Funds You may not close your Account unless you have fully satisfied the obligations described in the LEASE, the COMMUNITY has authorized closure, or termination of LEASE has occurred. Upon satisfaction in full of the obligations described in the LEASE you may, by delivering to DepositCloud email or verbal notice (on a recorded line) that you wish to cancel, close your Account. If you have a joint Account, either party authorized under your Account may request to close your Account with notice. Such cancellation will be effective five (5) days after DepositCloud has received such notice. If your Account is closed, you are still required to pay everything you owe to COMMUNITY (including, without limitation, any amounts that remain outstanding under the LEASE). Until your obligations under the LEASE have been fully paid and the Account is closed, we may, in our discretion, close your Account at any time without modifying or altering your obligations under the LEASE in any way. If you or we close your Account, we may return excess funds in your Account to you by any of the following means: (i) by a transfer of the funds to a bank Account you designate, and with your authorization; (ii) by sending a check to you at the address we have in our records; or (iii) some other method deemed sufficient by us. You agree that if the Account is closed for any reason, we may apply for the funds in this Account to pay off any amounts due to COMMUNITY under the LEASE (including any remaining amounts under the Payment Plan). If a check we send to you is returned by the Post Office as undeliverable and if we cannot locate you, we will hold the funds from your Account until you either contact us and provide information on how to send the funds to you or until we are required to remit your funds to a state under an applicable unclaimed property law, whichever occurs first. For this reason, it is important you update your contact information with us if your email address, mailing address or telephone number changes.
  • 4.) DepositCloud’s Liability to You: Acts and Omissions of Other Financial Institutions. We will not be liable for the intentional wrongdoing or the lack of ordinary care by any financial institution to which we have forwarded a check, draft, or other order or instruction for the payment, transfer or withdrawal of funds (an “Item” ) for deposit to your Account.
    Waiver. If DepositCloud waives any of its rights on any one occasion, it will not be considered a waiver of DepositCloud ’s rights on any other occasion.
    Verification of Transactions; Rights to Reverse Erroneous Credits. All transactions, including without limitation those for which we have provided a receipt, are subject to our final verification. We may reverse any credit it has erroneously made to your Account, or for which funds were not finally collected by us, at any time without prior notice.
    General limitations. We will have no liability to you with respect to your Account, other than as provided in this Agreement. We will meet our duty to care for your Account if we exercise ordinary care in the transaction at issue. When we take an Item for processing by automated means, “ordinary care” does not require that we examine the Item. “Ordinary care” requires only that we follow standards that do not vary unreasonably from the general standards followed by similarly situated banks. A mere clerical error, or an honest mistake, will not be considered a failure of us to perform any of its obligations. Unless imposed by law, we will not be liable for consequential, special, punitive or indirect loss or damages. You agree that this Agreement is between you and DepositCloud, and COMMUNITY has no liability to you for any claims related to this this Agreement or your Account.
  • 5.) Endorsements: We are authorized to supply your endorsement to any Item taken for collection, payment or deposit to your Account.
  • 6.) Withdrawals: Funds deposited by you in the Account will be used to satisfy your obligations under the LEASE, upon claim by COMMUNITY during occupancy, or when closure of your Account occurs, subject to section 3. above. You agree that you will continue to pay on this Account until your obligations under the LEASE have been fully paid and the Account has been closed. See “Closing Your Account, Returning the Funds” above for terms and conditions regarding return of the funds and closure of your Account. OPTIONAL: If applicable, you may, with COMMUNITY approval, apply any Account value towards current rent or ledger balance obligations, while still residing in the community. This will establish a repayment obligation by you, based on the amount previously held in your Account, or a new amount, based on COMMUNITY requirements. You agree to repay the amount, over the required installment terms and conditions.
  • 7.) Deposited Items Returned Unpaid: We have the right to charge back to your Account any Item deposited to your Account that is returned. We have the right to pursue collection of such Items, even to the extent of allowing the payor bank to hold an Item beyond the midnight deadline in an attempt to recover payment. These collection efforts may include sending such Items back for collection one or more times. We will have no liability for resubmitting or not resubmitting these Items (or for taking any other action we consider reasonable to recover payment) without notice to you.
  • 8.) Non-Interest-Bearing Account: No interest will be paid on this Account, unless otherwise stipulated in your agreement terms.
  • 9.) Fees: There are non-refundable fees assessed by DepositCloud with respect to the Account; provided, you select Installment plan, a one-time Enrollment Fee for the Account, in addition to a recurring Monthly Maintenance Fee, paid by you, to DepositCloud, to the extent provided in your Agreement.

Late fees may be charged to your Account if you fail to make the required monthly payment within 5 days of the Installment Payment Due Date; provided, further, that a Returned Payment Fee may be charged to your Account for any payment that is returned for any reason.
