Welcome to www.palolo.com (the “Site”), a website of Palolo, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Palolo” “we,” or “us”). This page explains the terms by which you may use the financial services we make available to you on our Site or on our mobile application (collectively the “Services”).
By submitting your application to obtain an account with us (“Account”) and to use the Services, you signify that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Palolo Terms of Service (“Agreement”), Palolo Account Agreement, the Deposit Account Agreements of the banking service provider for your account, other applicable terms and conditions referenced and incorporated in this Agreement, and to the collection and use of your information as set forth in the Palolo Privacy Policy. You also agree to receive all notices and other communications from us electronically. Palolo reserves the right to make unilateral modifications to these terms and will provide notice of these changes by posting an updated version to our legal page. “You” means the individual that is applying for or that has opened an Account to use the Services.
PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY TO ENSURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND EACH PROVISION. THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A MANDATORY INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL WAIVER PROVISION THAT REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS.
This is a contract between you and Palolo. You must read and agree to these terms before using the Services. If you do not agree, you may not apply for an Account or use the Services. You may only apply for an Account or use the Services for personal purposes. By applying for an Account or using the Services you are forming a binding contract with Palolo in compliance with this Agreement and all applicable local, state, national, and international laws, rules and regulations. There may be other eligibility requirements applicable to specific Services.
Your Account gives you access to various Services, including the demand deposit account (“Deposit Account”), the Palolo Card, and other services as made available from time-to-time by Palolo and by our sponsor banks (our "Banking Services Provider"), and any other functionality that we may establish and maintain from time to time and in our sole discretion.
You will need to provide personal information (“Personal Information”), when you apply for an Account for personal purposes. Personal Information may include your name, contact information, date of birth and certain other personal information; proof of address, personal identification, and any other documentary information used to verify your personal information. We provide Personal Information to our Banking Services Provider and other third-party service providers to determine your eligibility for the Services. We rely on the accuracy of the Personal Information you provide us when opening and maintaining your Account. We may deny your applications, suspend provision of the Services to you, or close your Account if Personal Information is out of date, incomplete, or inaccurate. At any time during the term of this Agreement and as part of your use of the Services, we may require additional Personal Information from you to verify your identity, to open and maintain accounts and aspects of the Services, and to assess your financial condition. You expressly consent and authorize us to retrieve additional Personal Information about you from our vendors and other third parties solely to assess the history and risks and to prevent fraud, including by obtaining information from credit reporting agencies and information bureaus, and you authorize and direct such third parties to compile and provide such information to us. You acknowledge that this may include names, addresses, credit history, and other data. You acknowledge that we may use Personal Information to verify any other information you provide to us, and that any information we collect may affect our assessment of your overall risk to our business.
You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs on your Account, and you must keep your Account password secure. We encourage you to use “strong” passwords (for recommendations on what constitutes a strong password, check NIST SP 800-63B) with your Account. You must notify Palolo immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your Account. Palolo will not be liable for any losses caused by any unauthorized use of your Account. We may suspend access to your Account if we believe that your Account has been compromised.
You may not use the Account or the Services (a) for any purpose that is unlawful or prohibited by this Agreement; (b) business purposes; (c) for the benefit of an individual, organization, or country identified on the United States Office of Foreign Assets Control’s Specially Designated Nationals List.
By registering for and using the Services, you are confirming that you will not use the Services (i) to accept payments in connection with any illegal, unauthorized, or not bona fide transactions; (ii) to handle, process, or transmit funds for any third party.
We may, at any time and without notice, suspend or terminate your Account or your access to any of the Services if you engage in activities that violate the letter or spirit of this section. Our determination of whether a violation of this section has occurred will be final and binding, and any action taken with respect to enforcing this section will be at our sole discretion. Palolo may modify this section at any time by posting a revised version in this Agreement.
Your Deposit Account is a demand deposit account held with our Banking Services Provider and is subject to the terms of this Agreement and the additional terms of our Banking Services Provider. Your funds are fully insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. Your Deposit Account will be used in connection with the provision of the other Services under this Agreement. You may also use your Deposit Account to the extent provided in the terms of our Banking Services Provider.
Your Palolo Account gives you access to virtual and physical cards (the “Palolo Card” or “Palolo Cards”) that you can use to make purchases for yourself using funds in your Palolo Deposit Account. Your Palolo Card must only be used for any non-business purpose, such as for personal or household purchases, when issued in conjunction with your Account
You may remotely deposit paper checks into your Deposit Account through the Palolo app by creating a Mobile Deposit. When making a Mobile Deposit, you are also subject to the deposit account agreement and other terms and conditions of the Banking Services Provider that enables the Deposit Account and Mobile Deposit, including the Funds Availability Disclosure section of those terms. A "Mobile Deposit" is the information that is transmitted to us allowing for the deposit, processing, and collection of the item deposited. You may only deposit items made payable to you. We reserve the right to reject any Mobile Deposit for any reason.
You may send digital checks to payees from your Deposit Account. Payees will be able to print the digital check or present the digital check via email or other electronic means to the payee’s bank for deposit. By creating and authorizing the issuance of a digital check or remotely created check (“RCC”), you authorize Palolo to honor the RCC in the amount and to the payee stated on the RCC even though the RCCs do not contain your signature. You authorize Palolo to debit your Account for any claim or return based upon an unauthorized RCC and you agree to indemnify and hold Palolo harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, costs and expenses (including attorney’s fees) resulting directly or indirectly from any breach of the foregoing warranty.
You must keep a valid payment method on file with us to pay for all fees owed. We will debit fees from your Deposit Account or another payment method that you authorize. Palolo will charge the payment method that you authorize for all applicable fees until the Services are terminated, and any and all outstanding fees have been paid in full. If we are unable to process payment of fees using your payment method on file, we will make a second attempt to process the payment using the payment method on file within three (3) days. If the second attempt is not successful, we will notify you, and may suspend and revoke access to the Services. If the Services are suspended, your Services will be reactivated upon payment of any amounts owed. If the outstanding fees remain unpaid for sixty (60) days following the date of suspension, then Palolo reserves the right to terminate your Account. You may change your payment method through your account settings.
Your use of the Services is subject to the fees on the Fee Schedule, which may be updated from time-to-time at our discretion. For fees owed under this Agreement, we will automatically charge you using the payment method you have on file with us and by agreeing to this Agreement, you authorize us to do this. You will be charged via invoice each month on your billing date (“Billing Date”) for all outstanding fees that have not previously been charged or collected. All fees are exclusive of applicable taxes. You are responsible for all applicable taxes that arise from or as a result of your use of the Services.
You agree to pay all amounts owed to us on demand. Your failure to pay amounts owed to us under this Agreement is a breach and you will be liable for any costs we incur during collection in addition to the amount you owe. Collection costs may include attorneys’ fees, costs of arbitration or court proceeding, collection agency fees, any applicable interest, and any other related cost. We may collect amounts you owe to us under this Agreement by deducting any amounts you owe to use from your Deposit Account. You grant us a security interest in and right to set off against the Deposit Account.

We may terminate this Agreement, or suspend your Account for any reason, by providing you notice, or we may terminate this Agreement immediately in the event you breach or violate any of the terms of this Agreement, as determined in the sole discretion of Palolo.
You agree that: (i) the Services shall be deemed solely based in Delaware, except as may be set forth in the Bank Provider Agreements; and (ii) the Services shall be deemed a passive one that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over us, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than Delaware. This Agreement shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of Delaware, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences with respect to the substantive law, any arbitration conducted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in Delaware for any actions for which we retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a our copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights, as set forth in the Arbitration provision below, including any provisional relief required to prevent irreparable harm. Subject to Section 11.B, you agree that the federal or state courts located in Delaware is the proper forum for any appeals of an arbitration award or for trial court proceedings in the event that the Arbitration provision below is found to be unenforceable.
READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO ARBITRATE THEIR DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM PALOLO. For any dispute with Palolo, you agree to first contact us at 500 Westover Drive #13032, Sanford, NC 27330 and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally. In the unlikely event that Palolo has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after sixty (60) days, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any claims arising from protection of Intellectual Property Rights, breach of Confidential Information, which will be resolved through litigation in accordance with Section 11.A, or for injunctive or other equitable relief as provided below) arising out of or in connection with or relating to this Agreement, or the breach or alleged breach thereof (collectively, “Claims”), by binding arbitration by JAMS. Claims with amounts claimed greater than $250,000 will apply the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures; and Disputes with amounts claimed less than or equal to $250,000 will apply the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted in San Francisco County, California, unless you and Palolo agree otherwise. If JAMS cannot administer the Claim, either party may petition the US District Court for the Northern District of California to appoint an arbitrator. Each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules, and the award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Either party may commence arbitration by providing a written demand for arbitration to JAMS and the other party detailing the subject of the Claim and the relief requested. Each party will continue to perform its obligations under this Agreement unless that obligation or the amount (to the extent in dispute) is itself the subject of the Claim. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed as preventing either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of our data security, Intellectual Property Rights or other proprietary rights. Proceedings and information related to them will be maintained as confidential, including the nature and details of the Claim, evidence produced, testimony given, and the outcome of the Claim, unless such information was already in the public domain or was independently obtained. Person and Palolo, and all witnesses, advisors, and arbitrators will only share such information as necessary to prepare for or conduct arbitration or other legal proceeding, or enforcement of the outcome, unless additional disclosure is required by law.
With respect to all persons and entities, regardless of whether they have obtained an account or used the services for personal, commercial or other purposes, all Claims must be brought in the parties’ individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action, collective action, private attorney general action or other representative proceeding. This waiver applies to class arbitration, and, unless we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims. You agree that, by entering into this agreement, you and Palolo are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action, collective action, private attorney general action, or other representative proceeding of any kind.
By providing us with a telephone number for a mobile device, including a number that you later convert to a mobile device number, you are expressly consenting to receiving communications—including but not limited to prerecorded or artificial voice message calls, text messages, and calls made by an automatic telephone dialing system—from us and our affiliates and agents at that number, about any product or services offered by Palolo. This express consent applies to each such telephone number that you provide to us now or in the future. Calls and messages may incur access fees from your mobile services provider. You understand that you need not provide this consent as a condition of obtaining goods or services from Palolo, and that you may decline to provide or revoke your consent at any time by emailing legal@palolo.com or by any other method that reasonably ensures we receive your revocation. By providing us with a telephone number, you agree that Palolo may record any telephone conversation with you (or any another individual) during any telephone call to or from that number for training purposes, whether or not the call was initiated by you, and whether or Palolo disclosed the fact that the call was recorded during the call.
This Agreement, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by Palolo without restriction. Any attempted transfer or assignment in violation hereof shall be null and void.
You consent to us providing notices to you under this Agreement electronically and understand that this consent has the same legal effect as a physical signature. We will provide notices to you electronically through your Account, and via text or SMS to the phone numbers provided to us by you. If you sign up to receive certain Palolo notifications or information via text or SMS, you may incur additional charges from your wireless provider for these notices. You agree that you are solely responsible for any such charges. Notices affecting the terms of this Agreement will be sent to you and are considered received 24 hours after they are sent. You understand that you may not use the Services unless you consent to receive notices from us electronically. You may only withdraw consent to receive notices electronically by closing your Account. Notices may include alerts about the Services, your Account, and your Deposit Account and may provide you the ability to respond with information about Deposit Account transactions or your Account. You may disable notification preferences to limit the use of certain Service features or to decrease financial risks to yourself. You are required to maintain a regularly updated web browser, and computer and mobile device operating systems to receive notices correctly. You will be responsible for all costs imposed by internet or mobile service providers for sending or receiving notices electronically. Contact us immediately at 500 Westover Drive #13032, Sanford, NC 27330 if you are having trouble receiving notices from us.
This Agreement, together with any amendments and any additional agreements you may enter into with Palolo in connection with the Services, shall constitute the entire agreement between you and Palolo concerning your Account and the Services. If any provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect, except that in the event of unenforceability of the universal Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver, the entire arbitration agreement shall be unenforceable.
No waiver of any term of this Agreement shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and Palolo’s failure to assert any right or provision under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
We may respond to and comply with any subpoenas, warrants, liens, or any other legal order we receive related to your use of the Services. We are not responsible to you for any losses you incur due to our response to such legal order. We may hold funds or provide information as required by the issuer of the legal order or take any other actions we believe are required of us under legal orders. Where permitted, we will provide you reasonable notice that we have received such an order.
Any and all provisions of this Agreement reasonably giving rise to continued obligations of the parties will survive termination of this Agreement.
No joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and Palolo as a result of this Agreement or your use of the Site.
This agreement for Earned Wage Access (EWA) is between you and Palolo, Inc. ("Palolo," "we," or "us") and supplements the Palolo Terms of Service. Your participation in this EWA program is entirely voluntary and you are not required to participate. Choosing not to participate will not affect you or your employment.
By participating in EWA, you acknowledge and agree that:
To be eligible to participate in EWA, you must meet the following criteria: (i) you must have a Palolo account in your name ("Palolo Account"); (ii) your wages must not be subject to reduction in whole or in part by reason of a lien or garnishment; and (iii) you must allow Palolo to access payroll information. We will not assess your credit risk, for example by checking your credit score, to determine your eligibility as this is NOT a loan.
EWA provides access to funds that are equivalent to a portion of the accrued wages that you are entitled to receive under State law in the event of separation from your employer for work you have performed, but for which you have not yet been paid ("Transfer Amount").
Palolo may work with third-party service providers to process your timecard or other payroll information in connection with our providing you with EWA service. We rely on timecard data, pay stub information, direct deposit allocation data or other payroll information provided by Finch to determine your eligibility for EWA and the Transfer Amount for which you are eligible. You authorize Palolo and Finch to share information for this purpose.
The third-party service providers may require you to agree to its terms of service and privacy policy. Your obligations under these EWA Terms do not replace or supersede any obligation you have under the service providers' terms of service that apply to your use of the service providers' products and services as integrated into the EWA service.
You may access EWA through the Palolo web and mobile applications. We will tell you the Transfer Amount that is available to you, as determined by us in our sole discretion.
After you select the Transfer Amount, Palolo will use its funds to deposit the Transfer Amount into your linked Palolo Account. Palolo may reject your request for a Transfer Amount for any reason in its sole discretion.
You must affirmatively opt into the EWA Service each time you would like to use it – i.e., your election will not be carried forward automatically to any future transfers.
We will route the Transfer Amount to your linked Palolo Account.
Palolo will deduct the Transfer Amount from the direct deposit into your Palolo Account of your next regularly scheduled paycheck. You authorize Palolo to deduct the Transfer Amount from your Palolo Account. Your authorization to deduct the Transfer Amount will be deemed renewed each time you use the EWA service. YOU MUST NOTIFY US AT LEAST THREE (3) BUSINESS DAYS BEFORE THE SCHEDULED PAYROLL DEDUCTION DATE IN ORDER TO CANCEL THIS AUTHORIZATION.
If we are unable to deduct the Transfer Amount from your paycheck due to administrative or technical errors, one additional payroll deduction may be attempted to recover the Transfer Amount, or a portion thereof. Administrative or technical errors include, for example, an API malfunction or a mistake in payroll processing.
If you resign, you are terminated, or you stop working for any reason, you agree that we have the right to deduct any Transfer Amount that you have received if your final paycheck is directly deposited into your Palolo Account.
You are not required to pay any fees, charges, or interest to use the EWA service. Your use of the EWA service will not reduce your total wages. Any use of your Palolo Account services or features after the Transfer Amount is added to your Palolo Account is subject to the terms that apply to those services or features.
