Welcome to the Ness Well, Inc. (along with our service providers, “Ness”, “we”, “us”, “our”, or “Company”) rewards program (the “Rewards Program”)! We’re excited to make health and wellness more affordable.
The Rewards Program is administered through our mobile application (the “App”) and enables Ness credit card (“Nes Card”) customers to earn points from healthy actions that can be redeemed through the App for further health and wellness products and services. The Ness Card is issued by The Bank of Missouri, member FDIC (the “Issuing Bank”). Ness Well Financial, LLC, is a service provider to us and is the servicer of your Ness Card and of this Rewards Program.
In these Rewards Program terms and conditions (the “Rewards Program Terms”), the words “User”, “you”, “your” and “yours” mean each and all of those who apply for, activate, or use a Ness Card or participate in the Rewards Program.
By accessing the App and using a Ness Card, you are accepting and agreeing to these Rewards Program Terms. You are also agreeing to the Ness Terms of Service, and our Privacy Policy, each of which is incorporated herein by reference (collectively, the “Incorporated Terms”).
Arbitration. Any controversy, dispute or claim arising out of or related to these Rewards Program Terms will be subject to the dispute resolution provisions contained in the Arbitration Provision section of the Ness Card Cardmember Agreement (defined below), which is incorporated herein by reference.
Capitalized terms that are not defined in these Rewards Program Terms have the meaning given to them in the Incorporated Terms.
We may, from time to time and in our sole discretion, amend, delete or add to these Rewards Program Terms and may change or limit any aspect of the Rewards Program and its restrictions, benefits, or features, in whole or in part. Changes may include, but are not limited to, how you can earn points, changing how we calculate the accrual and/or redemption of points, or changing the available rewards for which your points may be redeemed.
We will post any such changes to these Rewards Program terms on this page: www.nesswell.com/legal. It is your responsibility to review these Rewards Program Terms (including the Incorporated Terms) for any such changes. We reserve the right to notify you of such changes via our website, or otherwise, but other than as required by applicable law, we have no obligation to notify you of every update.
If the Rewards Program is terminated, upon termination, all unredeemed points will be forfeited without any obligation or liability, and points claims will no longer be honored.
The Ness Rewards Program may be terminated at any time for any reason without advance notice and will terminate automatically without notice in the event that Ness permanently ceases to operate.
Cardmember Agreement means the agreement between you and the Issuing Bank, which sets the terms governing your Card Account, as modified, amended, or changed by the Issuing Bank from time to time. The Cardmember Agreement was emailed to you when you opened a Card Account.
Good Standing means, with respect to your Card Account: not delinquent, and/or your Ness Card account privileges have not been suspended, revoked, closed, canceled, or terminated for any reason, in each case as explained in the Cardmember Agreement.
In order to participate in the Ness Rewards Program, you must be a cardholder of the Ness Card. Your Cardmember Agreement is a separate and independent agreement that governs the terms and conditions and use of your Card, and these Rewards Program Terms do not modify or supersede any terms of the Cardmember Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the Cardmember Agreement and these Rewards Program Terms, the Cardmember Agreement will govern, except the Rewards Program Terms will govern in any matter solely relating to the Rewards Program. When you are approved for your Card, your account (your “Card Account”) is automatically enrolled in the Rewards Program and will remain enrolled unless you fail to keep your Card Account active or we otherwise suspend, terminate, or disqualify your ability to earn or redeem points or participate in the Rewards Program in accordance with these Rewards Program Terms.
If at any time your Card Account is not in Good Standing, we may suspend your ability to make transactions using your Card and, as a result, you will not be eligible to accrue or redeem points.
Our failure or delay in enforcing any of your obligations or exercising a right or remedy does not amount to a waiver of that obligation, right or remedy. Additionally, if we waive a particular obligation in one circumstance, it does not prevent us from subsequently requiring compliance with the obligation on other occasions.
In order to become a User and maintain a Rewards App account, you must have: (i) an iPhone or iPad that has internet access and is capable of running iOS applications (“Eligible Device”) and (ii) iOS version 14, or subsequent version of such software, installed on your Eligible Device.
You may grant permission to Ness to retrieve your health-related information maintained by Apple Health (e.g., Exercise Minutes, Sleep Hours, Mindful Minutes, and Steps) (“Health Information”). Ness does not review the Health Information for accuracy, completeness, or non-infringement. Ness is not responsible for the handling of Health Information before it is transmitted to Ness, including without limitation, if and how you consent to the collection of such Health Information through third parties. Ness is not responsible for the Health Information or products and services through which the Health Information is collected.
Ness cannot always foresee or anticipate technical or other difficulties that may result in failure to obtain data or loss of data, personalization settings, device operating environment malfunctions, or other service interruptions. Ness cannot assume responsibility for the timeliness, accuracy, deletion, non-delivery or failure to store any user data, communications or personalization settings. Ness relies on information received from third-parties to administer the Rewards Program. There may be a delay from when Health Information is made available to you and when it is transmitted to us.
We may not be able to award you points if we are unable to obtain your Health Information from Apple HealthKit.
In the event that Ness receives inaccurate, including incomplete, Health Information, Ness is under no obligation to (i) take steps to correct any inaccuracies, or (ii) act on additional or otherwise corrected information you provide outside of the Health Information.
We’re here to inspire you to take more Healthy Actions (as defined in the chart below), and so that is how you can earn points. “Healthy Actions” include:
Check the chart below to learn how you can earn points from your Healthy Actions.
| Physical Activity | Purchases on the Ness Card
| |
| Earning Points | You may earn points (subject to the limitations described below) based on your number of Exercise Minutes, Mindful Minutes, Sleep Hours, and Steps, each as recorded via Apple Health. Points earned for Physical Activity are awarded after completion of the Physical Activity. | You may earn points on all (that’s right, all!) purchases made and settled using your Ness Card. Purchases at merchants that fall within our health and wellness framework (“Qualifying Health & Wellness Merchants”) will earn you more points than purchases at all other merchants. See the section on Qualifying Health & Wellness Merchants below and Wellness at Ness for more information about Ness’s health and wellness framework. See the section on How Your Points Are Calculated for more information on point accrual rates at various merchants. Ness Rewards will not be awarded on Purchases that are determined to be fraud. |
| Note: Points will be issued based only on bona-fide, completed transactions that have cleared and settled. It typically takes one (1) to five (5) days for transactions to clear and settle, but may take up to fourteen (14) days. | ||
| How Your Points Are Calculated | You may earn a maximum of 56 points for physical activity-based Healthy Actions per day. Such points may be earned as follows: ● 14 points for 30 or more active minutes per day ● 14 points for 10 or more mindful minutes per day ● 14 points for 7 or more sleep hours per day ● 14 points for 6,000 or more steps per day | For every dollar spent on your Ness Card at Qualifying Health & Wellness Merchants, you will earn six (6) points. For every dollar spent on your Ness Card at any other merchant, you will earn two (2) points. |
Rounding of Points: Ness does not award fractional points. Points are awarded based on the total transaction amount multiplied by the relevant multiplier (see above) and rounded to the nearest point. For example: ● A Ness Card transaction of $25.10 at Qualifying Health & Wellness Merchant will earn you 151 points because $25.10 X 6 = 150.6, which rounds up to 151 points. ● A Ness Card transaction of $25.10 at a merchant that is not a Qualifying Health & Wellness Merchant will earn you 50 points because $25.10 X 2 = 50.2, which rounds down to 50 points. Returns, Chargebacks, Cancellations, Disputes and other Refunds on Purchases: Without limiting any of the other provisions of these Rewards Program Terms, if you return, chargeback, cancel, successfully dispute, or otherwise request or receive a refund for a purchase for which you have already received points, we will reduce the balance of points in your Ness Rewards Account by the amount of points you received for such purchase. If the balance of points in your Ness Rewards Account is less than the number of points you received for such purchase, we will offset the applicable number of points from the points you would otherwise receive for future purchases. For example, if you earned 25 points on a purchase and later returned the purchase after receiving the points and you had 100 points existing in your Ness Rewards Account after receiving points from the then returned purchase, we will reduce the number of points in your Ness Rewards Account to 75 points to reflect the loss of points based on the return. If you had 20 points in your Ness Rewards Account at the time of the return, then we will reduce the number of points in your Ness Rewards Account to -5 points which will be offset by points earned from future purchases. |
As stated above, Ness considers a merchant to be a Qualifying Health & Wellness Merchant if it falls within our health & wellness framework. You can learn more about our health & wellness framework and the criteria used to evaluate merchants here and here. If you would like to know whether a merchant is a Qualifying Health & Wellness Merchant prior to making a purchase, please reach out to [email protected] with the subject line “Healthy Merchant Review Request” and information about the merchant, including the merchant name and website. If you have made a purchase at a merchant that you believe meets our health & wellness framework, but did not receive points, tap on the particular purchase in the “Activity” tab and select “Request points for this purchase.” This will initiate a review of the merchant by Ness. If we agree that the merchant meets our health & wellness framework, we will award you the appropriate number of points based on the transaction amount. Whether you are requesting a merchant review before or after a purchase, you will receive an email confirming the conclusion and outcome of our review within approximately 3 business days of your request.
You may also have the opportunity to earn points as described in a particular offer made by Ness (“Ness Offer”). Ness Offers may be subject to additional terms, conditions, and/or restrictions. Such terms, conditions, and/or restrictions may be updated, modified, suspended, or canceled at any time without notice to you. If there is a conflict between these Reward Program Terms and the terms and conditions of any Ness Offer, unless explicitly provided otherwise in these Reward Program Terms, the Ness Offer terms and conditions will control. Ness Offers are not transferable and may not be made available to all Users. The applicable point accrual scheme will be disclosed in any such Ness Offer.
You can check your points balance by logging into your Ness Rewards Account on the App and checking the ”Activity” tab. It is your responsibility to check your Ness Rewards Account regularly to ensure that points have been properly credited and your account balance is accurate. Ness will attempt to credit accounts with points on a timely basis. Points will accrue as described in these Rewards Program Terms or in an applicable Ness Offer and may take several days to be uploaded to your account upon such accrual.
Across all modes of earning, if Ness erroneously rewards you with a number of points greater than you were entitled to, you agree that Ness can, at its sole discretion, recover from your Ness Rewards Account the excess number of points or from future points.
If you believe that you are eligible for points that you have not received, or that you received points that were calculated incorrectly, or that any other error in connection with your points balance has been made, you must report the possible error to Ness promptly, but no later than: (a) 60 days after the close of the relevant billing period if related to spend on the Ness Card, or (b) 60 days after the date on which you claim the points should have accrued for physical activity. After the applicable 60-day period, your points balance as shown in your Ness Rewards Account will be deemed accurate.
Ness may require you to submit documentation to resolve any errors related to point earnings. This documentation may include copies of receipts or invoices. In the event there is a discrepancy between your records and ours, Ness records will control. Ness will not have any liability for any failure, delay, or error in crediting points to your account.
Points are valid and redeemable via the App. Points have no cash, monetary, or other value and cannot be converted into any currency. Points may be redeemed for various rewards that we make available and that may change from time to time.
The number of points recorded in your account and the number of points required to obtain any particular reward are subject to verification by us. Once a reward has been requested or redeemed by a User, no changes, refunds, or return of points are permitted for any reason. Ness is not responsible for lost or stolen points or rewards. All rewards are offered subject to availability and restrictions imposed by the reward suppliers. We assume no responsibility for any loss, damage, defect, injury, death or expense relating to any reward or rewards processing or shipment, or for your rewards not turning out as you expected for whatever reason. If any points or rewards are believed to have been sold, exchanged, or obtained fraudulently, or issued to someone other than the registered User of the applicable Ness Rewards Account, those points or rewards will be void and will not be honored. If you redeem points for a service that is no longer available, we may offer a substitute reward of a similar value.
You will continue to earn points as long as your Card Account is open, in Good Standing and used to make purchases. If you are three (3) days past due on your Ness Card, you will lose the ability to (a) conduct additional transactions (and thus earn additional points on your Ness Card) and (b) redeem points you’ve already earned on your Ness Rewards Program Account. If you are ineligible to earn points on your Ness Card, you may still earn points for Physical Activity, but you will not be able to redeem any points until your Ness Card is in Good Standing or your Card Account is closed. If you fail to pay the Amount Due for 60 days, you will immediately lose access to all your points. See your Cardmember Agreement (emailed to you when you opened your Card Account) for additional details on your payment obligations. So long as your Card Account is open, your points will not expire (though your ability to redeem those points may be restricted as described in this paragraph).
You may cancel your account and participation in the Rewards Program by contacting Ness at [email protected] or 1-888-842-6061 with your request. All unredeemed points will be forfeited immediately upon cancellation and may not be reinstated or transferred.
Ness may cancel your accumulated points, suspend your benefits, or terminate your account at any time with immediate effect and without written notice, for any reason and in Ness’s sole discretion, including in instances where Ness believes that you have (i) acted in a manner inconsistent with applicable laws or regulations, (ii) acted in an inappropriate, fraudulent, abusive, or hostile manner, (iii) breached or violated any of these Rewards Program Terms or the Incorporated Terms, or (iv) engaged in any misconduct or wrongdoing in connection with the App. Nothing contained in these Rewards Program Terms will limit Ness in the exercise of any legal or equitable rights or remedies.
If your account is terminated or disabled for any reason, including but not limited to fraudulent activity, then your existing points will be forfeited and any further transactions that might otherwise earn you points will not be deemed to be applicable.
Points and other related benefits and services are the sole property of Ness and are not the property of the users. Points have no cash value, and Ness will not compensate or pay cash, cash equivalent, or credit for any forfeited or unused points.
Whether you may re-enroll in the App after a termination is at Ness’s sole discretion. In any event, previously earned points that were forfeited will not be credited to you.
Fees associated with the Ness Card are detailed in your Cardmember Agreement.
You may be taxed on your receipt or redemption of points, other consideration (merchandise, travel, prizes from a contest, etc.) depending on applicable tax laws. You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for any and all tax liability arising out of your use of App and any consideration you receive as a result thereof. You are also responsible for making all applicable disclosures to third parties.
Any unspecified expenses related to your use of the App, including without limitation the Rewards Program, are solely the User’s responsibility. Ness will not be liable for any tax liability, duty, or other charges in connection with the issuance of points or any other App or Rewards Program benefits.

By enrolling in the Ness AutoPay Program (the “Program”), you authorize Ness Well Financial, LLC, as a servicer for The Bank of Missouri, Member FDIC (“TBOM”) and any successive servicer (together “we” or “us”), to debit the bank account you designate (the “AutoPay Bank Account”) each billing period to pay automatically the amount you have selected.
We will advise you by an email message of the amount and date of the payment that will be automatically debited. To receive confirmation of the debit transfer taking place, you may log into the Ness mobile application, call your bank, or call Ness Customer Service at 1-888-842-6061.
1. Definitions:
A. Full Balance: The total amount of money you currently owe on your credit card, including your previous Statement Balance (as defined below), past due amounts, fees (if applicable) and new charges made thereafter. Full Balance does not include any pending purchases at the time your AutoPay payment is withdrawn.
B. Statement Balance: The “New Balance” indicated on your most recent statement. Statement Balance does not include changes in the current billing period, payments, credits or disputes that have occurred between the statement issuance date and the AutoPay Date.
E. AutoPay Bank Account: This is the bank account you have connected to your Ness credit card account during enrollment into AutoPay.
F. AutoPay Date: This is the date you selected for us to begin processing your AutoPay Payment or shortly thereafter, and the same calendar day of each subsequent month (or the last day of the month if you selected the 29th, 30th, or 31st of any month without that many days) or shortly thereafter.
You agree that unless you notify us to stop or adjust the amount of the debit, in accordance with the procedures set forth in paragraph 4 below, you authorize the debit of funds from the AutoPay Bank Account in the amount specified in the automatic payment option you have selected on the AutoPay Date. You will ensure that there are sufficient funds in the AutoPay Bank Account on the specified debit date to pay the amount of the debit. For any automatic payment option you have selected, we are authorized to reduce the amount of the debit previously disclosed to you on your payment notice by the amount of any payments, credits applied (excluding purchase credits), or financial charges adjustments to your Ness credit card account prior to the scheduled debit date. You understand that if your Ness credit card account is canceled and there is an outstanding balance on the credit card account, you authorize us to continue to automatically debit your AutoPay Bank Account unless you terminate participation in the Program in accordance with the procedures set forth in paragraph 6 below. If you close your AutoPay Bank Account, you agree to notify us beforehand to enable us to stop initiating debit transactions.
2. Additional Payments. If you would like to make a payment in addition to the automated payment amount you have selected, you may do so by scheduling a one-time payment in-app. Note, any additional payments made outside of your scheduled AutoPay payment amount will reduce the balance you owe toward your Statement Balance or Full Balance amounts.
3. Varying Amounts: You have the right to receive advance notice if any payment we seek will vary from the amount you authorize in your AutoPay settings. You authorize us to vary the amount of any payment so long as such payment is less than the pre-authorized amount for your Full Balance. We will send you a reminder at least ten (10) calendar days prior to initiating any debit by sending you an email that contains the details of your amount of your scheduled payment and the AutoPay Date. If your AutoPay Date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday or other day that we are not open for business, we will process your payment on the next available business day. However, the payment will be credited to your account as if it had been processed and posted on the AutoPay Date. All payments are subject to further verification and payment as well as the terms and conditions for your credit card and deposit accounts.
4. Stop Payment Orders/Adjustments: You may cancel your upcoming payment by turning off your AutoPay feature within the Ness mobile app at least two (2) business day prior to your scheduled AutoPay Date by 8pm ET. Also, you may edit your AutoPay settings on any date prior to your AutoPay Date, however, any changes you make after 8pm ET on the day as your scheduled AutoPay Date will occur after your payment processes and will be effective for the following month’s AutoPay Date.
You must update your Ness account: (a) if any information changes regarding your bank account, (b) if you wish to change the account or financial institution from which your payment is debited, or (c) if you wish to stop a payment or discontinue your participation in AutoPay.
5. Returned Payments: If your AutoPay Bank Account rejects your payment because of insufficient (NSF) or uncollected funds, you authorize Ness to reinitiate the payment up to as many times as is permitted by applicable ACH network rules and applicable law, without further notice to you. However, you agree that we are under no obligation to reinitiate any rejected debits. At our discretion, we may attempt to process the charge again within 14 days. If funds are not fully available at any time during your participation in the Program, or your account is otherwise not in good standing, we reserve the right to terminate your participation therein. If your account is unenrolled for any reason, you will receive an email alert notifying you that your account has been unenrolled. You may incur and be responsible for returned payment fee(s), if applicable to your Ness credit card account type, as well as any such fees charged by your bank.
6. Termination of Participation in the Program: You may turn off or edit the AutoPay settings at any time by (i) going to the ‘Settings’ page on your online account and changing your payment preferences, (ii) contacting Customer Service at [email protected] or 1-888-842-6061. These are the exclusive means by which you may revoke this authorization.

We are required by law to give you certain information, including legal disclosures, notices, records, statements, and communications (“Covered Communications”) “in writing” (i.e., on paper by mail). We may, however, instead provide this information to you electronically with your prior consent (and save some trees in the process!). We also need your general consent to use electronic records and signatures in our relationship with you. So, before proceeding with your charge card application, you must review and consent to the terms of this document.
In this document, “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to: (1) The Bank of Missouri, issuer of the Ness Card; (2) Ness Well, Inc., creator of the Ness App and the Ness Rewards Program, and (3) their service providers, including Ness Well Financial, LLC, servicer of the Ness Card.
In addition, “provide” means to deliver, make available, send, notify or take similar action.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you consent to use electronic signatures and to electronically receive all Covered Communications. Your consent gives us permission to communicate with you electronically in regard to any activity on, including the products and services accessed through, the Ness App and is not specific to any extension of credit, inquiry, product, service or transaction. Communications include, as applicable:
We will provide these Covered Communications to you by emailing them to you at your registered email address and/or making them available via the App after you log-in. It is your responsibility to keep your registered email address up to date so that we can communicate with you electronically.

You may request a paper version of a Covered Communication.

To request a paper copy of a Covered Communication contact us at 1-(888) 842-6061.
You have the right to withdraw consent and may withdraw your consent to receive Covered Communications electronically or update information needed to contact you electronically by emailing us at [email protected]; however, Ness will not be able to service your account and will require closure of your account. If you withdraw your consent prior to completing your application, you will not be able to complete the application process and therefore will not be issued an extension of credit.
You acknowledge that we may amend this policy at any time by posting a revised version on our website. If we make a material change to this policy we will also send a notice to your registered email address.
By confirming that you have read and agreed to these terms, you are confirming that (1) you have access to an Eligible Device, (2) you agree to receive the Covered Communications electronically, and (3) you are able to access and print or store information presented to you.

The Provider Nesswork enables Providers to publish and offer their services to Ness Customers. All Users are responsible for evaluating and determining the suitability of a Provider Service on their own. If a Customer decides to purchase Provider Services or enter into any other contractual relationship with a Provider (either, a “Provider Contract”), that Provider Contract is between the Users; Ness is not a party to that Provider Contract. Ness is not acting as an agent in any capacity for any User.

7. Provider Tiers
The Provider Nesswork includes two (2) tiers of Providers – Standard Providers and Preferred Providers. The Standard provider tier is the default; Providers may elect to be in the Preferred Provider tier.

As of the date of these Provider Terms, Ness does not charge Standard Providers for inclusion in the Provider Nesswork.
Ness charges a minimum ten percent (10%) commission for all Provider Services performed by Preferred Providers paid for using a Ness Card. You and Ness may enter into additional agreement(s) covering further marketing performed by Ness in exchange for an additional commission amount in excess of ten percent (10%) (“Commission Agreement”). The commission owed under these Provider Terms and any Commission Agreement is hereinafter referred to as “Fees.” Ness will invoice Preferred Providers on at least a monthly basis for Fees owed under these Provider Terms. Payments will be due to Ness within thirty (30) days of the invoice date.
If you are a Preferred Provider, you hereby agree to pay all Fees under these Provider Terms and any Commission Agreement in the manner directed by Ness, at the time they are required and as a condition of participating in the Provider Nesswork. If you fail to pay an amount due under this Agreement or any Commission Agreement by a due date, Ness may suspend your inclusion in the Provider Nesswork until such overdue Fees are paid in full. Continued failure to pay Fees and interest may result in a downgrade to the Standard Provider tier or removal from the Provider Nesswork.
Ness reserves the right to change Fees at any time, and will provide notice of any fee changes prior to such changes taking effect. If you disagree with any fee changes, you may request to change Provider tiers in accordance with Section 7 or to terminate these Provider Terms in accordance with Section 10.

For Preferred Providers, if you terminate these Provider Terms in accordance with Section 10(A) or modify your provider tier from Preferred Provider to Standard Provider in accordance with Section 7, then any Provider Services provided by you that are paid for by Customers with a Ness Card will continue to be subject to the Fees described in Section 8(B) for a period of ninety (90) days following the Termination Date or Modification Date, as applicable.

The disclaimers in these Provider Terms apply to the maximum extent permitted by law. If you have statutory rights or warranties we cannot disclaim, the duration of any such statutorily required rights or warranties, will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Neither Ness (including its affiliates and personnel) nor any other party involved in creating, producing, or delivering the Provider Nesswork or the Services will be liable for any incidental, special, exemplary or consequential damages, including lost profits, loss of data or loss of goodwill, service interruption, computer damage or system failure or the cost of substitute products or services, or for any damages for personal or bodily injury or emotional distress arising out of or in connection with (i) these Provider Terms, (ii) the use of or inability to use the Provider Nesswork or the Services, (iii) any communications, interactions or meetings you may have with someone you interact or meet with through, or as a result of, your use of the Provider Nesswork, or (iv) publishing or purchasing of Provider Services, including the provision or use of Provider Services, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), product liability or any other legal theory, and whether or not Ness has been informed of the possibility of such damage, even if a limited remedy set out in these Terms is found to have failed of its essential purpose.
In no event will Ness’ aggregate liability for any claim or dispute arising out of or in connection with these Provider Terms, your interaction with any Users or your use of or inclusion in the Provider Nesswork or any Services exceed one hundred U.S. dollars ($100.00 USD).
12. Indemnification
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to release, defend (at Ness’ option), indemnify, and hold Ness (including Ness, its affiliates and personnel) harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with: (i) your breach of these Provider Terms, including the Incorporated Terms, (ii) your improper use of the Provider Nesswork, (iii) your interaction with any User, including without limitation any injuries, losses or damages (whether compensatory, direct, incidental, consequential or otherwise) of any kind arising in connection with or as a result of such interaction, (iv) your failure, or our failure at your direction, to accurately report, collect or remit Taxes, or (v) your breach of any laws, regulations or third party rights such as intellectual property or privacy rights.
13. Dispute Resolution
You and Ness agree that any dispute or claim arising from or relating to these Provider Terms shall be settled by final and binding arbitration, in accordance with Section 14 of the Ness Terms of Service.
14. General
These Provider Terms, the Incorporated Terms and any Commission Agreement constitute the entire agreement between Ness and you pertaining to your inclusion in the Provider Nesswork or use of the Services, and supersede any and all prior oral or written understandings and agreements between Ness and you.
These Provider Terms do not and are not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon anyone other than Ness or you.
If any provision of these Provider Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable such provision will be struck and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions. Where the word “will” is used in these Provider Terms it connotes an obligation with the same meaning as “shall.”
Ness’ failure to enforce any right or provision in these Provider Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by us in writing. Except as expressly set forth in these Provider Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Provider Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Provider Terms or otherwise permitted under law
You may not assign, transfer or delegate this agreement or your rights and obligations hereunder without Ness’ prior written consent. Ness may without restriction assign, transfer or delegate this agreement and any rights and obligations hereunder, at its sole discretion, with 30 days’ prior notice.
Unless specified otherwise, any notices or other communications to Users permitted or required under this agreement, will be provided electronically and given by Ness via email.
Thank you for your participation in the Provider Nesswork!

Also, with your express consent, we collect tokenized information regarding your bank account via a third-party data provider for purposes of enabling online bill pay.

Once we receive your request, we may verify it by requesting additional information from you to confirm your identity.
