These Terms have the full legal effect of a signed, written contract (“Agreement”) between you (“you” or “your”) and Ocho, regarding: (1) your use of this website (“Website”) or any mobile application offered by or marketed by or on behalf of Ocho or any other technology platform offered by Ocho (each an “Ocho App”), (2) your use of the Website, an Ocho App, or a third-party website in connection with Services offered directly by Ocho, as applicable, (3) your use of any other service(s) offered through the Website or an Ocho App, as applicable, including content, product, services, tools and programs made available by Ocho; and (4) your access to your Ocho account information and access to any service through the Website or an Ocho App (collectively, the “Services”).

You represent and warrant that you are eligible to use the Services. If you are not eligible, or you do not agree to abide by the Terms, then you do not have Ocho’s permission to use the Services.

Changes to this Agreement

Ocho reserves the right to change these Terms from time to time. You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to review these Terms from time to time to remain informed of any changes. You agree that your continued use of the Services after the effective date of any changes means that you accept the changed Terms for your continued use. If Ocho makes a material change to these Terms, Ocho will provide you with reasonable notice of such changes (for example, by including a banner on our Website or sending you an email). Your continued use of the Services after being notified of such changes means that you acknowledge and agree to the modified terms and conditions. Please note that obligations and rights provided for under the terms of insurance policies bound through use of the Services can only be modified under the terms of such insurance policies, as applicable.

In addition, Ocho may grant you the right to access and use the Website or Ocho App, as applicable, for the purpose of uploading data and information in connection with our Services.

2. HOW OCHO WILL SERVE YOU

Premium Financing

When you seek to buy car insurance through Ocho, you may be offered a premium financing product with terms as stated in your Premium Finance Agreement (“Premium Finance Agreement”). Premium financing terms may vary based on the amount of the insurance premium and other factors. If you purchase car insurance and agree to a Premium Finance Agreement through Ocho, Ocho will pay the insurance carrier on your behalf in exchange for your promise to repay according to the terms of your Premium Finance Agreement.

Your Promise to Pay

Before completing any transaction on your behalf through the Services, Ocho will secure your promise to pay by disclosing the terms and conditions applicable to that transaction and securing your affirmative consent to those terms for that transaction, including your promise to pay the total loan payments amount to Ocho or its assigns, by asking you to electronically sign your Premium Finance Agreement.

Interest Rate for Premium Finance = 0% APR

You will not be charged any interest when you buy car insurance through Ocho using premium finance: the Annual Percentage Rate (“APR”) is 0%. 

Finance Charge for Premium Finance = $0

You will not be charged any finance charge when you buy car insurance through Ocho using premium finance: the finance charge is $0.

Late Payment for Fee Premium Finance = $0

You will not be charged any late payment fee when you buy car insurance through Ocho using premium finance: the late payment fee is $0.

Payments

If we accept your insurance application, Ocho may accept payment via debit card or other electronic payment service. Ocho or our third party payment processing partner will bill you based on the information you provide and we accept. All currency references are in U.S. dollars. By adding an electronic payment method such as a bank account or debit card (“Payment Method”), you authorize Ocho to automatically charge the Payment Method on file for recurring payments, the amount of which may change depending on policy changes you initiate and other factors approved by insurance regulatory authorities.

Payments will be charged to your primary Payment Method according to the payment schedule on your Premium Finance Agreement, unless paused. To see your next recurring billing date, refer to your Premium Finance Agreement or payment plan as outlined in your online account. If you have enrolled in our Ocho SMS Mobile Message Service (described below) and you are eligible to receive mobile messages, we will text you a payment reminder before charging your Payment Method.

To stop recurring charges on your primary Payment Method, you may add a new primary Payment Method, switch to a different payment method on file, or elect to disable the payment method. If you choose to disable a payment method, you can enable it again at any time. By enabling a payment method, you authorize Ocho to automatically charge it for recurring payments according to your Premium Finance Agreement.

You authorize us to charge any Payment Method associated with your account in case your primary Payment Method is declined or no longer available to us for payment of your insurance policy. You remain responsible for any uncollected amounts. If a payment is not successfully settled, due to expiration, insufficient funds, chargeback, invalid payment method details, or otherwise, we may initiate the cancellation of your policy. For some Payment Methods, the issuer may charge you certain fees, such as foreign transaction fees or other fees relating to the processing of your Payment Method. Check with your Payment Method service provider for details.

Payment Reminders, Servicing and Collection

You agree to allow Ocho to send you payment reminders from time to time. Such payment reminders may take the form of any available communication, subject to applicable law, and notwithstanding whether you have consented or withdrawn your consent to the Ocho E-Sign Consent Agreement. You also agree that if you fail to pay an amount owed to Ocho pursuant to a Premium Finance Agreement or any other agreement you have with us, Ocho may engage in collection activities to recover such amounts from you. These collection activities may involve contacting you directly, submitting your information to a collections agency, or taking legal action. You acknowledge that FAILURE TO PAY MAY AFFECT YOUR CREDIT SCORE.

Tools We May Offer

From time to time, Ocho may offer you the ability to access certain financial management tools. Examples of such tools may include, but are not limited to, bill payment reminders and other similar services. These tools will be provided to you free of charge and are provided exclusively for personal use, unless we indicate otherwise.

Limitations on Tools 

You agree that we may modify the tools or cease making them available to you at any time without notice. We have no obligation to continue to make any particular tool available to you or to do so without charge. If we modify a tool or cease to make a tool available to you, you understand that you may lose access to any information that you may have supplied in connection with your use of the tool and have no rights to obtain such information from us. There may be times when a tool we offer is unavailable or not properly functioning, and you agree that we have no liability to you if this occurs or in connection with the tools generally. You may need certain hardware or software to utilize the tools, and you understand that your failure to have such hardware or software will result in your not being able to use the tools or some tool functionality.

4. RESOLVING DISPUTES WITH OCHO

Disputes with Ocho

If a dispute arises between you and Ocho, our goal is to provide you with a neutral and cost-effective means of resolving the dispute quickly. In the event of a dispute, we encourage you first to contact Ocho by email at support@ocho.co, by phone at 1-800-220-1416, or by mail at 756 Lake Street San Francisco, CA 94118 to try resolving your problem directly with us.

Mandatory Arbitration 

THIS SECTION AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS, PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE AGREEING TO THESE TERMS OF USE BY USING THE OCHO SERVICES OR THE WEBSITE OR AN OCHO APP.

Unless you are a covered borrower as defined by the Military Lending Act, 10 U.S.C. § 987, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, except as explicitly provided in this Agreement, any dispute or claim relating in any way to your visit to the Website, your use of the Services, a product offered or provided by or through the Website or Service, or otherwise arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Services that cannot be resolved directly between you and Ocho shall be resolved by binding arbitration under the Consumer Arbitration Rules ("the Consumer Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), rather than in court. Except as otherwise explicitly provided in this Section, this broadly includes: any claims based in contract, statute, tort, fraud, consumer rights, misrepresentation, equity or any other legal theory; initial claims, counterclaims, cross-claims and third-party claims; federal, state and local claims; and claims which arose before the date of this Agreement. The Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA") and federal arbitration law apply to this Agreement. There is no judge or jury in arbitration and court review of an arbitration award is limited, but an arbitrator can award an individual the same damages and relief as a court and must apply and follow the terms of this Agreement as a court would. The arbitrator shall apply applicable statutes of limitations and honor privilege rules. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator will be final and may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ABSENT YOUR CONSENT TO ARBITRATION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL BY JURY.

Either you or we can initiate arbitration through AAA, an alternative dispute resolution provider, or by filing a motion to compel arbitration of claims filed in court. Regardless of who elected arbitration or how arbitration was elected, the party asserting the claim (i.e., the party seeking money damages or other relief from a court or an arbitrator) is responsible for starting the arbitration proceeding. If AAA cannot serve, a court with jurisdiction shall select the arbitrator, who will apply the AAA rules and procedures specified in this Section. Any arbitration will be governed by the then-current Consumer Rules of the AAA, and its Procedures for the Resolution of Disputes through Document Submission ("Document Submission Procedures"). The Consumer Rules are available at the AAA website: www.adr.org. The Document Submission Procedures are included in the Consumer Rules. Your arbitration filing fees will be governed by the Consumer Rules. If it is determined by the arbitrator that you cannot afford such fees, Ocho will pay all arbitration fees and expenses. The arbitration will be conducted solely based on written submissions. The arbitration will not require any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless the arbitrator determines that a telephonic or in-person conference or hearing is necessary based on the request of one or more of the parties. Disputes or controversies about the validity, enforceability, coverage or scope of this Section or any part thereof are for a court and not an arbitrator to decide; however, disputes or controversies about the Agreement as a whole are for an arbitrator and not a court to decide.

RIGHT TO OPT OUT: If you do not want this Section to apply, you must send Ocho a signed notice in writing or electronically within 30 calendar days after you agree to be bound by the Agreement as described above. You must send the notice in writing to Ocho Holdings Co. Attn. "Terms of Use Section 4 Opt Out", 756 Lake Street, San Francisco, CA 94118 or by email to: support@ocho.co. You must provide your name, address, and phone number from your Account and state that you "opt out" of Section 4 within the Ocho Terms. Opting out of this Mandatory Arbitration provision will not affect the other provisions of this Agreement. If you properly and timely opt out of Mandatory Arbitration as described herein, your opt out request will apply only to this Agreement and not any other agreement between us.

If you withdraw your Consent after you have received a loan, all previously agreed terms and conditions will remain in effect and Ocho will make future Disclosures available by mailing them to the address you have on file with Ocho. In the case of any withdrawal of your Consent, any Disclosures that Ocho previously provided to you electronically will remain valid, enforceable, sufficient for its intended purpose, and unaffected by such withdrawal.
