Terms of Service

The Northtowns Medical Group Web Site (the "Service") is an on-line bill viewing and payment service provided by Northtowns Medical Group and its licensors, including RevSpring, Inc. (collectively, "Licensors").

Please read this Agreement carefully before accessing or using the Service. By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions below. If you do not accept the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you may not access or use the Service. Northtowns Medical Group may modify this Agreement from time to time, and such modifications shall be effective immediately upon posting of the modified Agreement. By continuing to access or use the Service following such modifications, you agree to be bound by the modified Agreement. Northtowns Medical Group has no obligation to notify users of the posting of a modified Agreement.

Payment Services. By accessing the Service, you authorize Northtowns Medical Group (1) to establish and maintain your payment authorizations and (2) to process your payments according to your instructions.

Types of Payments and Payees. You may use the Service only to authorize the payment of bills owing to Northtowns Medical Group. Payments that you authorize will be made from a bank or financial institution account (the "Transaction Account") that you designate. It is your responsibility to establish and maintain the Transaction Account and to pay any and all fees associated with the Transaction Account.

Timing. By providing Northtowns Medical Group with a payment authorization under the Service, you authorize Northtowns Medical Group to charge the Transaction Account to remit funds on your behalf to pay your bills owed to Northtowns Medical Group. It is your responsibility to make timely payment authorizations, so that the funds will arrive at Northtowns Medical Group before the date on which they are due. You should submit all payment authorizations to Northtowns Medical Group at least three (3) business days before the actual due date for the bills (not the late date). A "business day" means any day other than Saturday, Sunday, a federal holiday, or any other day on which banks in the United States are not generally open for business. You shall bear the risk and the responsibility for paying any late charges or penalties resulting from the late receipt of any payment made under the Service; provided, however that Northtowns Medical Group agrees to waive late charges and penalties resulting from late receipt of payment, in the event that your payment authorization was made more than (3) business days before the actual due date and the payment is late solely due to Northtowns Medical Group's failure to promptly process your payment authorization.

Responsibility of Northtowns Medical Group. Northtowns Medical Group will use all reasonable efforts to process all your payment authorizations promptly and properly, provided the authorizations are actually received by Northtowns Medical Group. Northtowns Medical Group will not be responsible for any failure to process a payment authorization that is not actually and completely received by Northtowns Medical Group for any reason, including user error, equipment malfunction, natural disasters or impediments, or inaccurate or incomplete information.

If Northtowns Medical Group does not process a payment request on time or in the correct amount, Northtowns Medical Group will be liable for your losses, but in no event shall Northtowns Medical Group's liability exceed the amount of the affected payment authorization. However, Northtowns Medical Group shall incur no liability fees if it is unable to complete a payment authorization initiated by you because of the existence of any one or more of the following circumstances:

  1. The Transaction Account does not contain sufficient funds to complete the transaction, or the transaction would exceed the credit limit applicable to the Transaction Account.

  2. You have not provided Northtowns Medical Group with correct names or account information.

  3. Circumstances beyond Northtowns Medical Group's control (such as, but not limited to, fire, flood, or interference from an outside force) prevent the proper transmission of your payment authorization and Northtowns Medical Group has taken reasonable precautions to avoid those circumstances.

  4. Northtowns Medical Group fails to receive a full and complete payment authorization.

  5. You have made any false or materially misleading statement or representation in connection with any payment authorization.

  6. The bank or financial institution maintaining the Transaction Account refuses or is unable to honor a payment request from Northtowns Medical Group

Bank or Financial Institution Limitations. In using the Service, you are requesting Northtowns Medical Group to make payments for you from your designated Transaction Account. If your bank or financial institution is unable to process a transaction (for example, there are not sufficient funds in the Transaction Account to cover the transaction, or if funds in the account are unavailable for any reason), the transaction may not be completed. There may be limits or restrictions upon the number or frequency of payments that may be made from your Transaction Account under applicable law or under the terms of your agreement with the bank or financial institution maintaining the Transaction Account. Northtowns Medical Group's obligations under the Service are subject to any such limits or restrictions, and Northtowns Medical Group has no duty to notify you of any such limits or restrictions.

Charges. As a customer of the Service, you will not be charged by Northtowns Medical Group for payment authorizations that you choose to send electronically.
