These Discover® Click to Pay Terms of Use (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and DFS Services LLC (together with its subsidiaries, “Discover”). BY ENROLLING IN DISCOVER® CLICK TO PAY AND/OR BY UTILIZING DISCOVER® CLICK TO PAY AS A PAYMENT METHOD AT CHECKOUT, WHICH INCLUDES CLICKING A ‘CONTINUE’ BUTTON THAT SPECIFIES ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS, YOU AGREE TO ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CONTAINED HEREIN, INCLUDING THE PRIVACY POLICY (DEFINED BELOW). YOU ALSO AGREE TO COMPLY WITH THE TERMS, CONDITIONS AND PROVISIONS OF THE ISSUER(S) OF YOUR CARD(S) ENROLLED IN DISCOVER® CLICK TO PAY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, YOU MUST NOT ENROLL IN OR USE DISCOVER® CLICK TO PAY. DISCOVER RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CHANGE THESE TERMS AT ANY TIME AND YOUR CONTINUED USE OF DISCOVER® CLICK TO PAY CONSTITUTES AGREEMENT TO ALL SUCH CHANGES.

1. Introduction

These Terms describe the terms and conditions under which you may utilize Discover® Click to Pay as a payment method. Discover® Click to Pay is Discover’s implementation of EMVCo’s industry-wide EMV® Secure Remote Commerce Specifications that enables consumers to shop or make payments online with a simple and convenient checkout experience. Discover® Click to Pay allows you the ability to store payment account information for your Discover® card and any other card (e.g., a debit or reloadable prepaid card) that Discover determines is eligible to be used with Discover® Click to Pay (individually, a “Card” and collectively, "Cards").

2. Enrollment in Discover® Click to Pay

Enrollment in Discover® Click to Pay can be completed: (1) manually by you or (2) automatically by your Card issuer.

  • You can enroll yourself in Discover® Click to Pay during the checkout process on a participating merchant website. When enrolling in Discover® Click to Pay, you will be asked to register your identification credentials (email); confirm the validity of your identification credentials (entering the one-time-passcode sent via email); and add your Card(s) and consumer information (billing address and shipping address).
  • Your Card issuer may enroll your Card in Discover® Click to Pay. Before you can use Discover® Click to Pay as a payment method, you will be asked to register your identification credentials (email) and confirm the validity of your identification credentials (entering the one-time-passcode sent via email).

 

All of the information captured during your enrollment is stored in your Discover® Click to Pay profile (“Profile”). All of the information in your Profile relating to your enrolled Card(s), including, but not limited to, Card data, Card or account number, Card security code, expiration date, and billing address, is referred to as the “Card Information.” Once enrolled, you can manage the content of your Profile, including, but not limited to, adding and deleting Cards, registering or removing trusted devices, updating shipping and billing addresses, and deleting your Profile.

 

Your enrolled Card(s) are automatically stored and ready for use as a method of payment at merchants or other third parties that display the Discover acceptance mark next to the Click to Pay icon. When you checkout with any merchant or other applicable third party that accepts Discover® Click to Pay, you will be able to view your Cards and select the Card to be used for the transaction. Once you select the Card and submit the payment, Discover will transmit your payment and related information to the merchant or other applicable third party to allow them to process the transaction. You agree that the merchant or other applicable third party can transmit information about the transaction to the applicable network for your Card, and your transaction will be paid for using the Card you have selected.

  • The valid cardholders or authorized users of one or more Cards, and in good standing with respect to such Card account(s).

4. Use of your Profile

By adding your Card to your Profile, you acknowledge and agree as follows:

  • You are a valid holder or authorized user of that Card;
  • The Card Information contains personal financial information;
  • You are solely responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the information you store within your Profile, including the Card Information;
  • You are solely responsible for maintaining up-to-date information in your Profile, including current and complete Card Information; and
  • Discover may take steps to update certain information about your Card to help keep your Profile up-to-date, including payment information, using information and third party sources available to Discover, without any action on your part.

 

By making a payment using Discover® Click to Pay, you acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for:

  • All charges or debits to your Card(s) that result from transactions made using your Profile;
  • Any interest, fees, charges or expenses from your Card issuer in connection with the transaction;
  • Reporting and paying any applicable taxes arising from transactions made using your Profile; and

Discover has no responsibility or liability for the authenticity, validity, accuracy, or completeness of the Card Information that (i) you provide as part of your Profile and (ii) Discover transmits on your behalf in relation to a transaction utilizing Discover® Click to Pay.

 

If your agreement with a merchant or other third party allows that party to (i) store information provided by you from your Profile, (ii) connect with Discover® Click to Pay to receive certain Card Information, or (iii) validate or receive other Card Information in your Profile, then such third parties’ access to and usage of such information is subject to your agreement with the third party. Discover has no liability to you or the third party with respect to the third party’s access to, or usage of, your information.

5. Account Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of any of your usernames, emails, phone numbers, personal identification numbers, or any other codes you use to access Discover® Click to Pay and your Profile. Furthermore, you are responsible for adequately securing any devices that you may utilize to access Discover® Click to Pay and your Profile through the use of passwords or other appropriate authentication methods.

 

You are responsible for all activities that occur using your Profile, including any unauthorized activities of others using your Profile. You agree to notify your Card issuer immediately in the event of any unauthorized access to or use of your Profile. Discover is not responsible for any losses you incur as a result of unauthorized use of your Card and, depending on the circumstances, your Card issuer may hold you responsible for unauthorized use of your Card account.

6. Relationship to Merchants and Issuers

Discover® Click to Pay is not a bank, payment card issuer, or payment account. Discover® Click to Pay helps facilitate the payment transaction, but is not a party to the transaction.

 

The payment to or from a merchant in connection with your use of Discover® Click to Pay, including the purchase or return of products or services, is solely between you and the merchant. The merchant’s terms and conditions will govern all aspects of that transaction and the merchant’s use of your Card Information. The transaction will be reflected in the account which relates to the Card you used for the transaction, and payment of that account is solely a matter between you and your Card issuer.

 

Since Discover is not a party to the transaction made using Discover® Click to Pay, Discover is not able to resolve any refund or reversal issues you may have with the transaction. If you require a refund or reversal of any transaction completed using Discover® Click to Pay, you must contact the applicable merchant and/or your Card issuer. If you have a dispute with a merchant about a transaction made with Discover® Click to Pay, you are solely responsible for settling the dispute directly with the merchant or via your Card issuer.

 

The ability to purchase a product or service from a merchant using Discover® Click to Pay does not constitute an endorsement, sponsorship, approval, or warranty by Discover for the product or service or the merchant offering such product or service. Discover is not responsible for the products or services purchased or transactions made in connection with Discover® Click to Pay.

7. Cardholder Agreement

Discover® Click to Pay is not a card issuer. These Terms do not amend or otherwise modify any agreement between you and your Card issuer regarding use of such Card (the “Cardholder Agreement”). In the event of any inconsistency between these Terms and your Cardholder Agreement, these Terms govern the relationship between you and Discover solely with respect to Discover® Click to Pay, and your Cardholder Agreement governs the relationship between you and your Card issuer. You may also have certain rights and protections under your Cardholder Agreement or under applicable law with respect to the charges for transactions made to your Card. You are responsible for ensuring that your use of Discover® Click to Pay complies with any Cardholder Agreement.

THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS OF THIS SECTION 16 APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER LAW:

 

DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. YOU AGREE THAT YOU ASSUME ALL RISK FOR YOUR USE OF DISCOVER® CLICK TO PAY, INCLUDING USE OF YOUR PROFILE. YOU AGREE THAT DISCOVER® CLICK TO PAY IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND EITHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF ACCURACY, ADEQUACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE INFORMATION, MATERIALS, PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND FREEDOM FROM COMPUTER VIRUS. NO INFORMATION OBTAINED BY YOU FROM DISCOVER OR THROUGH OR FROM DISCOVER® CLICK TO PAY WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.

YOU SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT DISCOVER DOES NOT HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER YOUR TRANSACTIONS USING YOUR CARD INFORMATION, AND DISCOVER CANNOT ENSURE THAT ALL TRANSACTIONS WILL BE COMPLETED OR THAT YOUR CARD ISSUER WILL AUTHORIZE THE TRANSACTIONS THAT YOU INITIATE.

 

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT WILL DISCOVER AND ITS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, CONSULTANTS, AGENTS AND OTHER REPRESENTATIVES (COLLECTIVELY, THE “DISCOVER PARTIES”), BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST OPPORTUNITY, LOST DATA, COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, INTANGIBLE LOSS, OR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR ACCESS TO, USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE DISCOVER® CLICK TO PAY, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER DISCOVER IS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, WARRANTY OR OTHERWISE.

17. Indemnification

To the maximum extent permitted under law, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Discover Parties from and against any actual or alleged claims or losses arising from, in connection with, or based on allegations whenever made, of any of the following: (i) your breach of these Terms; (ii) your use of Discover® Click to Pay in any manner not authorized by these Terms or in violation of any Applicable Law; (iii) any dispute between you and a third party (e.g., a merchant or your Card issuer); or (iv) any claim arising out of, or in connection with, your negligent acts or omissions. This obligation shall survive the termination or expiration of these Terms and/or your use of Discover® Click to Pay. You will cooperate as fully as reasonably required in the defense of any claim. Discover reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you.

18. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflicts of laws provisions. For any action, proceeding, or dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the relationships resulting from these Terms, the parties agree to (i) sole and exclusive jurisdiction in an appropriate state or federal court located in Delaware; and (ii) unconditionally waive their respective rights to a jury trial.

19. Arbitration

Agreement to Arbitrate. In the event of a dispute between you and Discover arising out of or relating to these Terms, or the relationships resulting from these Terms, including, for example, a dispute based on a federal or state statute or local ordinance (“Claim”), either you or Discover may choose to resolve the Claim by binding arbitration, as described below, instead of in court. Any Claim (except for a claim challenging the validity or enforceability of this arbitration agreement, including the Class Action Waiver) may be resolved by binding arbitration if either side requests it. THIS MEANS IF EITHER YOU OR DISCOVER CHOOSES ARBITRATION, NEITHER PARTY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE SUCH CLAIM IN COURT OR TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL. ALSO DISCOVERY AND APPEAL RIGHTS ARE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION. Even if all parties have opted to litigate a Claim in court, you or Discover may elect arbitration with respect to any Claim made by a new party or any new Claims later asserted in that lawsuit.

 

CLASS ACTION WAIVER. ARBITRATION MUST BE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. THIS MEANS NEITHER YOU NOR DISCOVER MAY JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS IN ARBITRATION BY OR AGAINST OTHERS, OR LITIGATE IN COURT OR ARBITRATE ANY CLAIMS AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR MEMBER OF A CLASS OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY.

 

The arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. The arbitrator may not award class, representative or public injunctive relief. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then after all appeals from that decision have been exhausted, that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court. Only a court, and not an arbitrator, shall determine the validity, scope, and effect of the Class Action Waiver.

 

Your Right to go to Small Claims Court. Discover will not choose to arbitrate any individual claim you bring in small claims court or your state’s equivalent court. However, if such a claim is transferred, removed or appealed to a different court, Discover may then choose to arbitrate.

 

Governing Law and Rules. This arbitration agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”). Arbitration must proceed only with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The rules for the arbitration will be those in this arbitration agreement and the procedures of the AAA, but the rules in this arbitration agreement will be followed if there is disagreement between the agreement’s and the AAA’s procedures. If the AAA’s procedures change after the Claim is filed, the procedures in effect when the Claim was filed will apply. For a copy of the AAA’s procedures, to file a Claim or for other information, please contact the AAA at 1101 Laurel Oak Rd., Voorhees, NJ 08043, www.adr.org (1-877-495-4185).

 

If the AAA is completely unavailable, and if you and Discover cannot agree on a substitute, then either you or Discover may request that a court with jurisdiction appoint a substitute.

 

Fees and Costs. If you wish to begin arbitration against Discover but you cannot afford to pay the AAA’s or arbitrator’s costs, Discover will advance those costs if you ask us in writing. Any request like this should be sent to DFS Services LLC, 2500 Lake Cook Road, Riverwoods, IL 60015. If you lose the arbitration, the arbitrator will decide whether you must reimburse Discover for money Discover advanced for you for the arbitration. If you win the arbitration, Discover will not ask for reimbursement of money it advanced. Additionally, if you win the arbitration, the arbitrator may decide that you are entitled to be reimbursed your reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs (if actually paid by you).

 

Hearings and Decisions. Arbitration hearings will take place in the federal judicial district where you live. A single arbitrator will be appointed. The arbitrator must:

  • Follow all applicable substantive law, except when contradicted by the FAA;
  • Follow applicable statutes of limitations;
  • Honor valid claims of privilege; and
  • Issue a written decision including the reasons for the award.

 

The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding except for any review allowed by the FAA. However, if more than $100,000 was genuinely in dispute, then either you or Discover may choose to appeal to a new panel of three (3) arbitrators. The appellate panel is completely free to accept or reject the entire original award or any part of it.

 

The appeal must be filed with AAA not later than thirty (30) days after the original award issues. The appealing party pays all appellate costs unless the appellate panel determines otherwise as part of its award.

 

Other Beneficiaries of this Agreement. In addition to you and Discover, the rights and duties described in this arbitration agreement apply to: Discover’s affiliates and Discover’s and their officers, directors and employees; and any third party co-defendant of a Claim subject to this arbitration agreement.

 

You Have the Right to Reject Arbitration. You may reject the arbitration agreement but only if Discover receives from you a written notice of rejection within thirty (30) days of the date when you first accept these Terms either by (i) enrolling your Card manually in Discover® Click to Pay; or (ii) utilizing Discover® Click to Pay as a payment method if your Card was automatically enrolled by your Card issuer. You must send the notice of rejection to: DFS Services LLC, 2500 Lake Cook Road, Riverwoods, IL 60015. Your rejection notice must include your name, address, phone number, and personal signature. No one else may sign the rejection notice for you. Your rejection notice must not be sent with any other correspondence. Rejection of arbitration will not affect your other rights or responsibilities under these Terms. If you reject arbitration, neither you nor Discover will be subject to the arbitration agreement for any action, proceeding, or dispute arising out of or related these Terms. Rejection of arbitration for these Terms will not constitute rejection of any prior or future arbitration agreement between you and Discover.
