Tinker & Nod Terms of Use

Updated October 2021

Please read these Terms and Conditions of Use (the "Terms") carefully before continuing on with your use of this Web Site for online payment processing. These Terms shall govern your use of the Web Site and apply to all Internet traffic visiting the Web Site. By accessing or using this Web Site, you agree to abide by these Terms. The Terms are meant to protect our Web Site visitors and the integrity of our systems. Your use of this Web Site signifies you agree to abide by these Terms. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THESE TERMS, DO NOT CONTINUE TO USE THIS WEB SITE.

MyTinker, LLC on behalf of itself and its affiliates and/or subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively "Tinker") reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify, alter or otherwise update these Terms at any time. Such modifications shall be effective immediately upon posting. By continuing to use this Web Site after we have posted notice of such modifications, alterations or updates, you agree to be bound by the Terms as revised.

The online payment services (hereafter collectively "ePay" and "AutoPay") are provided as a convenient method to make rental payments but do not alter or modify the terms of your agreement. Tinker assumes no responsibility for providing access to, or maintaining the Web Site. If the Web Site is unavailable for any reason, the customer remains responsible for making timely renewal payments on or before the scheduled due date. Renewal Payments received after the due date may be assessed a late fee in the amount specified in the rental agreement to the extent permitted by applicable state laws. Customers using online payment processing to make their payments are required to pay each agreement on which a payment is made, in full. You may not use online payment processing to make a payment for less than the total amount owed for the next renewal period for each agreement selected for ePay/AutoPay. In the event your agreement(s) expire(s) for failure to make a timely renewal payment, you will be required to pay any outstanding reinstatement/late fees plus an amount sufficient to renew the lease on the previously established schedule prior re-enrolling in AutoPay. If the applicable reinstatement period provided by your state law has expired, online payment processing may not be available to you and you may be required to contact Tinker to process a payment.

YOUR OBLIGATIONS

Under the terms of your agreement, you are required to renew your agreement when due if you elect to retain the merchandise. In using online payment processing, it is your responsibility to ensure that sufficient funds are available to complete any payments directed through ePay and/or AutoPay. You agree that you may be charged a returned item fee if sufficient funds are not available at the time of the scheduled payment. Check with your financial institution and/or card issuer to determine if any additional charges for such a debit will apply to your account and ask how ePay transactions may be described on your statement. If a transaction is refused by your financial institution for any reason, including insufficient funds, closed account, unauthorized account, or exceeding account limits, ePay and/or AutoPay will not be able to process your payment and your Agreement may not renew. Under the terms of your Agreement, you may be subject to additional charges if your payment is rejected, reversed or refused by your financial institution. Upon completion of your agreement term or exercise of your early purchase option, please contact your store to receive your ownership certificate.

If, in Tinker’s sole and exclusive judgment, your purchase constitutes a high-risk transaction, we will require you to provide us with a copy of your valid government-issued photo identification, and possibly a copy of a recent bank statement for the credit or debit card used for the purchase. We reserve the right to change products at any time. We also reserve the right to refuse any order you place with us. We may, in our sole discretion, limit or cancel quantities rented/purchased per person, per household or per order. These restrictions may include orders placed by or under the same customer account, the same credit card, and/or orders that use the same billing and/or shipping address. In the event that we make a change to or cancel an order, we may attempt to notify you by contacting the e-mail and/or billing address/phone number provided at the time the order was made.

Unauthorized Use of Online Payment Accounts - If you think your account has been accessed without your permission, contact us immediately by calling us at [919-627-2773]. You should also contact your financial institution and/or card issuer.

Termination of ePay or AutoPay - Participation in ePay and/or AutoPay is optional. You may change or terminate your enrollment elections at any time by contacting Tinker in writing at [hello@tinkernod.com]. In this writing, please provide your name, contact information, account/order number, and your intent to terminate your enrollment. Likewise, we reserve the right to discontinue accepting ePay or AutoPay payments at any time, for any reason, without prior written notice. We may send notification of termination of these services at any time after the termination is effective.

USING ePay

Authorization to Debit Your Account: By authorizing a payment in ePay, you are authorizing Tinker to make a one-time debit to the bank or card account you designate in the amount due for your selected agreements. If you utilize a third-party money transfer service or mobile application, your transaction may be subject to additional terms and conditions of such applications and may incur fees or charges not assessed by Tinker. Upon completion of a payment, Tinker will provide a receipt indicating the amount debited at your direction by means of an email message to the address you have provided. Payment Processing: Payments will be debited from your designated bank or card account on or after the date you elect to make the ePay payment. In the event that the online payment process requires a billing adjustment to the account, it will cancel the original withdrawal and establish a new withdrawal for the updated amount and/or payment date. If you need to update your card or bank account information at any time, you may update your banking information by contacting Tinker at [hello@tinkernod.com].

USING AutoPay

Authorization to Make Automatically Recurring Debits from Your Account: By enrolling in AutoPay, you are authorizing Tinker to debit the bank or card account you designate each renewal period to pay automatically the amount due for each agreement you have enrolled. If you utilize a third-party money transfer service or mobile application, your transaction may be subject to additional terms and conditions of such applications and may incur fees or charges not assessed by Tinker. Upon completion of each scheduled payment, Tinker will provide a receipt indicating the amount and date of the payment that was automatically debited by means of an email message to the address you have provided.

Payment Processing - Automatic payments in the amount owed for each agreement enrolled in AutoPay will be debited from your designated bank or card account on the date each renewal payment is due. In the event that the online payment process requires a billing adjustment to the account, it will cancel the withdrawal and establish a new withdrawal for the amount and/or payment date. If you need to update your checking or savings account information at any time, you may update your banking information by contacting Tinker at [hello@tinkernod.com].

Cancellation - If an AutoPay scheduled payment is cancelled due to unavailability of funds, or at your election, the affected agreement(s) will no longer be enrolled in AutoPay and you will be required to contact Tinker to make payment or to provide another method of payment on or before the scheduled renewal date to avoid expiration of our agreement(s). In the event your agreement expires for failure to make a timely renewal payment, you will be required to pay any outstanding reinstatement/late fees plus an amount sufficient to renew the lease on the previously established schedule prior re-enrolling in AutoPay.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY:

Except as provided elsewhere in these Terms, if we fail to complete a withdrawal on time or in the correct amount, we will pay for any fees or charges imposed by your financial institution that result from our error. Exceptions: (1) if through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money or sufficient credit available in or on your account to make your payment; (2) transfer of money from your bank/card account is restricted; (3) the AutoPay system was not functioning at the time of the intended transaction; (4) circumstances beyond our control prevent payment despite reasonable precautions. Our liability is limited by law and limited to those damages actually caused. We are not liable if (1) you fail to use the AutoPay program properly; or (2) you do not request or otherwise initiate or cancel a recurring or one-time payment sufficiently in advance of your payment due date; or (3) your financial institution refuses to honor the debt; or (4) your instructions are lost or delayed in transmission to us; or (5) a reasonable security concern, such as an unauthorized use, causes us not to process the payment; or (6) your account is closed; or (7) the AutoPay program has been terminated or suspended.

These terms and conditions do not supersede, modify or in any way mitigate your obligation to be bound by and comply with all applicable tariffs, rules or regulations related to your agreement.
