    Policies
    and Procedures for eLayaway, Inc.




    Payment
    Terms:

     

    eLayaway
    charges a flat transaction fee on each layaway. The calculation of this fee is
    outlined within the eLayaway Fee Schedule (http://www.elayaway.com/fee-schedule/).
    The applicable fee is non-refundable in the event of a cancellation.

    All fees
    charged and funds to be collected will be debited from the member’s specified
    payment method. 




    Cancellation
    Fee:





    The
    eLayaway cancellation fee charged to members is either $25 or 10% of the price
    of the item placed on layaway;

    whichever is less. The remaining balance, less
    the cancelation fee and any applicable transaction fees, is returned to the
    member's bank account (via ACH) upon member requested cancellation and
    confirmation. This refund can take up to 10 business days to reach a member’s
    account. This delay is sometimes necessary to ensure that the most recent
    payments

    on the account have cleared and are available for return.




    Unsuccessful
    or Failed Payments:





    If
    any scheduled payment is unsuccessful, eLayaway will assess a $5 NSF
    (Non-Sufficient Funds) fee to the member's account per instance. If a failed
    payment occurs, the unsuccessful payment will automatically be rescheduled at
    the end of the layaway based on the original payment frequency (i.e weekly,
    monthly). The $5 fee will be scheduled on the same day of the next remaining
    payment. In the event that a failed payment occurs on your final payment, the
    final payment and the $5 fee will be rescheduled for the same date. This fee is
    to offset banking fees generated to the Company by the member's failed payment.
    ELAYAWAY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY BANK CHARGES A MEMBER MAY INCUR DUE TO
    FAILED PAYMENTS.




    Bank
    Verification: 





    All
    eLayaway members are required to verify their bank account prior to completing
    any layaways. Should a layaway be completed and the member’s bank account go
    unverified for a period of 30 days, eLayaway will cancel the member's order and
    all funds will be returned to the member's bank account. This process is done
    to ensure the member's security as well as to verify the member is the true
    account holder. Bank account verification only needs to be completed once for the
    lifetime of the bank account on file.




    Scheduled
    Deductions: 





    Adjustments
    to a scheduled payment must be submitted two business days in advance of the
    scheduled due date. Scheduled deductions are dictated directly by the member
    and are the sole responsibility of the member to manage. It is the member's
    responsibility to manage any and all adjustments in their payment schedule,
    whether made personally by the member or per the request of the member through
    an eLayaway Customer Service Representative. ELAYAWAY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR
    ANY BANK CHARGES A MEMBER MAY INCUR DUE TO FAILED PAYMENTS.
