Welcome to Every! We’re glad you have decided to join the Every community.
This document contains the terms and conditions (the “Terms”) that apply to companies that use the Every website, the Every mobile application, and related services we offer (the “Every Platform”).
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THESE TERMS, PLEASE CONTACT US AT SUPPORT@EVERY.IO BEFORE CREATING AN EVERY ACCOUNT (“EVERY ACCOUNT”) OR USING THE EVERY PLATFORM. WE’VE TRIED TO MAKE THESE TERMS EASY TO UNDERSTAND, AND WE ARE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. WHEN YOU APPLY FOR AN EVERY ACCOUNT WITH US, OR ACCESS OR USE THE EVERY PLATFORM, YOU ARE CONFIRMING THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND ACCEPT ALL OF THESE TERMS, AND YOU AGREE TO OUR COLLECTION, STORAGE, USE AND DISCLOSURE OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AS DESCRIBED IN THE EVERY PRIVACY POLICY. YOU ALSO AGREE TO RECEIVE ALL NOTICES AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS FROM US ELECTRONICALLY.
THESE TERMS CONTAIN BOTH A MANDATORY INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION PROVISION AND A JURY TRIAL AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER PROVISION, WHICH MEANS THAT YOU AGREE TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTES OR CLAIMS BETWEEN US ABOUT THESE TERMS AND YOUR USE OF THE EVERY PLATFORM IN ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, INSTEAD OF IN FRONT OF A JURY IN A COURT OF LAW. THIS ALSO MEANS YOU MAY NOT PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST US. YOU SHOULD READ SECTION 11 FOR MORE DETAILS ABOUT YOUR DISPUTE RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO OPT OUT OF THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.
"Company" or "You" means the legal entity that is applying for or that has opened an Every Account to use the Every Platform and the individual applying for the Every Account. If you are the individual applying for the Every Account, you represent and warrant that you are an authorized representative of Company with the authority to bind Company to this Agreement ("Administrator"), and that you agree to these Terms on Company’s behalf. These Terms are a legal agreement between the Company applying for an Every Account and Every, Inc., and our subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “Every”, “we”, “us,” and “our”) that apply to your use of the Every Platform through which we may provide you access to banking and other financial services (the “Banking Services”) provided by our FDIC-insured financial institution partners (“Banking Provider”), payroll and direct deposit services (“Every Payroll”), employee payroll advances (“Every Advances”), and other non-bank or related third-party services. Every is not a bank, and your financial services accounts are owned and held exclusively by your Banking Provider. As your Banking Provider’s agent, Every is responsible for providing access to, and managing your financial services accounts, responding to questions from you, and ensuring that you comply with the terms of your account agreements with your Banking Provider (collectively, the “Banking Provider Agreements”). Unless otherwise expressly stated in these Terms or in a Banking Provider Agreement, Every has no authority to act on behalf of, or represent your Banking Provider in any way. These Terms are supplemented by the Banking Provider Agreements, the Banking Provider’s privacy policy (“Bank Privacy Policy”), , and all other applicable agreements between you, your Banking Provider, your employees (“Employees”), and Every. These Terms become effective on the first date you sign up for, access, use, or interact with the Every Platform. Services provided by third parties that you access through the Every Platform may be covered by other terms, conditions or agreements. Please also read the Every Privacy Policy carefully for information relating to our collection, use, and disclosure of your Personal Data.
1. Using the Every Platform
1.1. Overview. The Every Platform allows you to easily open business checking and savings accounts (your “Every Checking Accounts”) to deposit ,funds, make payments, make automated payroll deposits to your Employees (“Every Direct Deposits”), facilitate your Employees’ enrollment in the Every Advance earned wage access program, and to withdraw cash at ATMs or make purchases with the debit card associated with your checking account (your “Every Debit Card” and collectively, the "Services"). You may also use the Every Platform to deposit checks into your Every Checking Accounts electronically, and to link other bank accounts you own to make deposits to your Every Checking Accounts.
1.2. Eligibility. By agreeing to these Terms, you are promising that: (a) you are at least 18 years old; (b) your Company has not previously been suspended, removed or deactivated from the Every Platform or an Every Account; (c) you are a legal resident of the United States; and (d) Every Platform your use of the Every Platform is in compliance with any and all applicable laws and regulations. Any use of or access to the Services for consumer or non-commercial purposes, or by any individual who is not your employee, contractor, agent, or other individual permitted to use your Every Account on your behalf is strictly prohibited and in violation of these Terms.
1.3. Creating And Securing Your Every Account. To use the Every Platform, you need to create an Every Account first. You will need to provide Company information and certain personal information (collectively, "Company Information"), when you apply for an Every Account. Company Information may include your registered business name and state of incorporation, the business address, ownership details, the nature of the business, and other business information we may request from time to time, the name, contact information, and date of birth of Administrators or beneficial owners, and other personal information; and a corporate registration certificate, proof of address, personal identification, and any other documentary information used to verify business and personal information. The information you provide to us when you apply for, and while you use your Every Account must be true, accurate, and complete, and you agree to keep Company Information up-to-date at all times. We provide Company Information to our Banking Providers and other third-party service providers to determine your eligibility for access to the Services. We rely on the accuracy of the Company Information you provide us when opening and maintaining your Every Account. We may deny your application, suspend provision of the Services to you, or close your Every Account if Company Information is out of date, incomplete, or inaccurate.
1.4. Account Management and Security. You must specify at least one Administrator to manage your Every Account when submitting your application. Administrators can add, remove, or manage additional Administrators; view transactions and run reports; provide or update Company Information; connect third-party services and other bank accounts to your Every Account; and perform other tasks to manage your Every Account. You are responsible for any actions or failure to act on the part of Administrators, or those using their credentials to access your Every Account. You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs on your Every Account, and you must keep your Every Account password secure. We encourage you to use "strong" passwords (for recommendations on what constitutes a strong password, check the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)) with your Every Account. You must notify Every immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your Every Account. Every will not be liable for any losses caused by any unauthorized use of your Every Account. We may suspend access to your Every Account if we believe that your Every Account has been compromised.
1.5. Protecting your Privacy. It may be obvious, but the Every Platform may not be very useful to you if you do not provide us with certain personal information (your “Personal Data”). To create an Every Account and to use the Every Platform, you must agree to the terms of the Every Privacy Policy, which allows us and certain of our service providers and partners (“Partners”) to use and maintain your Personal Data to enable the functionality of the Every Platform. We may also receive Personal Data about you from third parties with whom you have an account relationship and who you have authorized to share Personal Data with us. That said, your privacy is extremely important to us, and we want you to know that we are committed to protecting your Personal Data from unauthorized disclosure to others. For more information about how we collect and use Personal Data and other information we receive about you from third parties, see the Every Privacy Policy.
2. Every Checking Accounts and Your Every Debit Card
When you open an Every Account, you will be eligible to apply for one or more Every Checking Accounts provided by your Banking Provider. If your application is accepted, you can use the Every Platform to access and manage your Every Checking Accounts and your Every Debit Card, view your transaction history and other Every Checking Account information, view, review and approve your Employees’ Every Advance requests, perform Every Payroll certain transactions, and access various features of your Every Checking Account and Every Debit Card. Your use of the Every Platform to access your Every Checking Account features is governed by these Terms. However, the Every Checking Accounts, the Every Debit Card and any transactions you make on your Every Checking Accounts or Every Debit Card (including transactions you initiate through the Every Platform) are covered by the Banking Provider Agreements located here.
Each time you use the Every Platform to access your Every Checking Accounts you are expressly authorizing Every and your Banking Provider to act on the instructions we receive from you while you are logged in to your Every Account, and any actions we take on your behalf based on the instructions we receive from you will have the same legal effect as instructions signed by you. We reserve the right to deny transactions or any other actions you authorize through the Every Platform if (a) you do not have enough available funds in your Every Checking Account to make a transfer or payment; (b) the Every Platform or your mobile device are not working properly; (c) we are unable to carry out your instructions due to circumstances beyond our control; (d) your Every Checking Accounts are subject to legal process or other lawful restrictions that prevent us from carrying out your instructions; (e) your instructions are incomplete or inaccurate, or you do not follow the procedures in this or any other agreement you have with us or your Banking Provider; (f) your login and password have been reported lost or stolen, if we canceled or disabled your login and password, or if we have disabled your Every Account; or (g) we reasonably suspect that you or someone else is using or accessing your Every Account or Every Checking Accounts for fraudulent or illegal purposes. Please review your Banking Provider Agreements for information about additional restrictions on use of your Every Checking Accounts.
3. Every Payroll
3.1. Overview. You may use Every Payroll to calculate Employee payroll amounts, schedule and process Every Direct Deposit payments to your Employees, pay any applicable payroll taxes, and, if required withhold wage payments to comply with local, state, and federal laws. You understand and agree that: (a) we will rely on the information you and your representatives provide us to make Every Payroll available to you and your Employees; (b) we are not responsible or liable to you or to your Employees for any errors that occur as a result of errors in the information you provide us; (c) Every is not acting in a fiduciary capacity for you or your Employees; (d) using Every Payroll does not relieve you of your obligations under local, state, or federal laws or regulations to retain records relating to your use of Every Payroll; and (e) any information that we provide you in connection with Every Payroll is for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal, tax, or accounting advice from us to you. Prior to using Every Payroll, and as of each Every Payroll processing date (“Every Payroll Date”) you must: (i) obtain and maintain an Every Checking Account in good standing with sufficient funds to pay any amounts owed to your Employees; (ii) obtain and maintain authorization from each Employee to receive Every Direct Deposit transfers; and (iii) provide any required federal, state, and local powers of attorney, proof of federal, state, and local tax identification numbers, and any other authorizations or information we require through your Every Account (the “Every Payroll Requirements”). We may be unable to make payments on the Every Payroll Date if you fail to meet the Every Payroll Requirements.
3.2. Every Payroll Data. To initiate Every Payroll payments, you must submit Employee information, wage amounts, employee tax and other withholding amounts, employee benefits, and all other required information (“Payroll Data”) prior to the Every Payroll Date cut-off times set forth in your Every Account. Each time you submit Payroll Data through your Every Account and initiate Every Payroll payments, you acknowledge and agree that (a) it is your sole responsibility to review the Payroll Data, (b) the Payroll Data you have submitted is accurate and complete, (c) you will immediately notify us of any incorrect or incomplete information, (d) we are not responsible for any penalties or losses you or your Employees incur as a result of any incomplete or inaccurate Payroll Data you submit to us, and you waive any claim against us for such penalties or losses, (e) you may incur additional charges or fees that we or your Employees may incur that result from correction of inaccurate or incomplete Payroll Data, and (f) we may refuse to act on Payroll Data or instructions you provide us in our sole discretion.
3.3. Every Checking Account Debit and Credit Authorizations. On or prior to Every Payroll Date, you authorize us to debit your Every Checking Account in the amount necessary to fund Every Direct Deposit payments, pay Employee payroll taxes, and pay any other amounts you owe in connection with your use of the Every Platform (collectively, the “Payroll Amount”). You also authorize us to initiate credit entries to your Every Checking Account if we are required to return unpaid funds to you. These authorizations will remain in full force and effect until we receive written notice from you withdrawing such authorizations in such time and such manner as to afford us a reasonable opportunity to act upon such notice. You acknowledge that our origination of debit transactions from your Every Checking Account and the transmission of Every Direct Deposits to an Employee’s Every Checking Account must comply with applicable laws, rules, and regulations, including the NACHA Rules and Article 4A of the Uniform Commercial Code, as adopted in California and as may be amended from time to time. You agree to maintain a balance in your Every Checking Account sufficient to fund the Every Payroll Amount on each Every Payroll Date. If you have insufficient funds in the Every Checking Account, or if you refuse to pay the Every Payroll Amount: we will not be (a) able to pay your Employees or any of the third parties to whom you have requested that we make payments, (b) liable for any losses that you or anyone else incurs that results from such failure or refusal to pay, and (c) responsible for submitting any tax liabilities you may owe to state or federal authorities. Your obligation to maintain sufficient funds in your Every Checking Account to cover the Every Payroll Amount will survive termination of your Every Account, and we or your Banking Provider may set off any amounts you owe against any amounts we owe you to obtain payment of the Every Payroll Amount.
3.4. Taxes and Our Liability to You. It is your responsibility to provide us with accurate and complete tax withholding information, and we choose not to submit tax payments on your behalf if you do provide us with the required information prior to the Every Payroll Date. If we fail to make timely payroll tax payments to the appropriate tax authorities in accordance with your instructions, we will: (a) remit the payroll taxes we debited from your Every Checking Account to the appropriate tax authority; and (b) reimburse you for any penalties imposed on you by the tax authorities that resulted from such failure; provided that you agree to make reasonable efforts to mitigate any penalties or losses that resulted from our failure to pay. You further agree that (i) the remedies set forth in Sections 3.4(a) and 3.4(b) are your sole remedy for any other losses or penalties you incur, whether directly or indirectly, as a result of such failures; and (ii) the tax authorities will hold you solely responsible for timely payment of your Employees’ employment taxes. Accordingly, you should enroll in the U.S. Treasury Department’s Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (“EFTPS”), to monitor your IRS account and ensure that you are making timely tax payments. You may enroll in the EFTPS online at www.eftps.gov, or by calling (800) 555-4477 for an enrollment form. State tax authorities generally offer similar means to verify tax payments, and you should contact the appropriate state offices directly for details.
3.5. Every Payroll Termination. If you or we terminate your use of Every Payroll or terminate your Every Account in accordance with Section 6, then such termination may not be reversible, and as of the time of such termination we will have no further obligation to make additional payroll tax filings on your behalf. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon termination of your use of Every Payroll, you must make specific elections regarding whether you would like us to make any final payroll tax filings on your behalf. If you do not make any elections promptly following termination, then (a) you authorize us to make any such elections on your behalf, and (b) you acknowledge and agree that we may rely on any elections you make or that we make on your behalf, and we are not responsible or liable for any errors or losses that directly or indirectly result from such reliance.
4. Every Advance Program
4.1. If you enroll in the Every Advance program, your Employees may use the Every Advance feature to request an instant cash advance on wages they have already earned from you but that have not been paid to them. Every Advances are solely for your Employees’ benefit and convenience. If we approve an Employee’s request, we will instantly deposit the requested amount into the Employee’s Every Checking Account. Every Advances are completely free and you may not charge your Employees to receive an Every Advance.
4.2. Enrollment and Approval of Every Advance Requests. You can enroll in the Every Advance program to make Every Advances available to your Employees through the Every Platform. To enroll, you must have an active Every Account, you must have at least one Employee who has an active Every Checking Account and has signed up to receive Every Advances, and you must have an Every Checking Account in good standing. Every time one of your Employees requests an Every Advance, we will automatically verify your Employee’s employment status, the wages your Employee has earned but has not been paid at the time of the request, and the Employee’s Every Direct Deposit information through the Every Platform. If we approve your Employee’s Every Advance request, we will instantly deposit the amount of the Every Advance in your Employee’s Every Checking Account. The amount of the Every Advance will depend on the wages already earned by your Employees at the time of the Employee’s request, the Employee’s Every Checking Account transaction history, minimum wage laws in the Employee’s state, and other risk-based factors. Every will only process one Every Advance per Every Payroll period per Employee.
4.3. Every Advance Repayment; Every Direct Deposit Deduction Consent. When we process your Employee’s next Every Direct Deposit payment, you authorize us to (a) withhold the amount of the Every Advance from the Employee’s Every Direct Deposit payment amount; and (b) debit your Every Checking Account in the amount of the Every Advance. We will not be responsible to you for any losses you suffer if you incur any overdraft charges or other fees that result from any debits we make related to repayment of your Employees’ Every Advances.[If your Employee terminates their employment relationship with you prior to the end of the subsequent Every Payroll Date, or elects to un-enroll in the Every Direct Deposit program, you authorize us to: (a) except where prohibited by applicable employment laws, deduct the amount of the Every Advance from the Employee’s final (in the event of termination of employment) or subsequent (in the event of un-enrollment in the Every Direct Deposit program) paycheck; and (b) debit your Every Checking Account in the amount of the Every Advance amount.] [You understand and agree that unless an Employee withdraws consent to debit the Every Advance amount from the Employee’s next Every Direct Deposit transfer, your consent to debit your Every Checking Account in the amount of the Employees’ Every Advance amount is irrevocable.]
5. Connected Accounts and Third-Party Account Information To enable us to provide certain features of the Every Platform you may direct us to retrieve bank account transaction history and balance information from other bank accounts you own, and other information about you from accounts you maintain with other third parties (each, a “Connected Account”). When you connect a Connected Account to your Every Account, you consent for one of our third-party service providers (“Service Providers”), such as Plaid, to use your Connected Account username and password to retrieve Connected Account information (“Connected Account Data”). For your security, we never see or store your Connected Account username and password. By connecting a Connected Account, you hereby grant us and our Service Providers a limited power of attorney, and you hereby appoint us and our Service Providers as your true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent, with full power of substitution and re-substitution, for you and in your name, place and stead, in any and all capacities, to access Connected Accounts and documents, retrieve Connected Account Data, and use your Connected Account Data with the full power and authority to do and perform each and every act and thing requisite and necessary to be done in connection with such activities, to the same extent and for the same purposes as you might or could do in person. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT WHEN WE OR ONE OF OUR SERVICE PROVIDERS ACCESSES AND RETRIEVES CONNECTED ACCOUNT DATA, WE AND OUR SERVICE PROVIDERS ARE ACTING AS YOUR AGENT, AND NOT AS THE AGENT OF, OR ON BEHALF OF THE CONNECTED ACCOUNT PROVIDER. We are not responsible for the products and services provided to you by any Connected Account provider, or for the timeliness, accuracy, deletion, non-delivery or failure to store any transaction data, communications, personalization settings, or other Connected Account Data. For example, when displayed through the Every Platform, Connected Account Data is only as fresh as the time shown, which reflects when the Connected Account Data is obtained from the Connected Account provider. Such information may be more up-to-date when obtained directly from the Connected Account provider. You can refresh your Connected Account Data by following the instructions in your Every Account. We do not review or verify any Connected Account Data we receive, and we are not responsible for any losses, damages, or costs you incur due to any inaccuracies in Connected Account Data. We also may not be able to foresee or prevent technical difficulties or service interruptions that result in our failure to obtain, or for loss of Connected Account Data.

We may terminate these Terms, or close your Every Account at any time for any reason (including, without limitation, for any activity that may create harm or loss to the goodwill of Every) by providing you notice. We may suspend your Every Account and your ability to access funds in your Every Checking Accounts, or terminate these Terms if (a) we determine in our sole discretion that you are ineligible for the Services because of significant fraud or credit risk, or any other risks associated with your Every Account; (b) your use of the Services in a prohibited manner or otherwise does not comply with any of the provisions of these Terms; or (c) we are otherwise entitled to do so under these Terms.

11. Arbitration; Jury Trial and Class Action Waiver
11.1. This Section 11 constitutes your agreement to arbitrate (“Arbitration Agreement”) all disputes arising under or in connection with these Terms and your relationship with us (collectively, a “Claims”). This includes Claims made by us against you, by you or anyone connected to you against us or any of our subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors, successors, or assignees. Arbitration is often used to resolve Claims more efficiently than a trial, particularly where the amount of the Claims is small (lawyers are expensive!). YOU ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE A CLAIM IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL ON ANY CLAIM. ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THESE TERMS WILL ONLY BE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTIONS, AND CONSOLIDATIONS WITH OTHER ARBITRATIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED. AN ARBITRATOR CAN AWARD RELIEF ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. YOU WILL NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL RELATING TO ANY CLAIM.
11.2. All Claims will be decided finally and exclusively by binding individual arbitration with a single arbitrator administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) according to this provision and the applicable AAA rules, which may limit the discovery available to you or to us. You can obtain copies of the AAA rule and forms by contacting AAA at 1-800-778-7879 or www.adr.org. Any arbitration hearing that you attend will take place in the federal judicial district where you reside as of the date you execute this Agreement. The arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16 (“FAA”) and applicable statutes of limitations, and will honor claims of privilege recognized at law.The arbitrator’s award will be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. While an arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief, the arbitrator may do so only with respect to the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual party’s Claims. The arbitrator’s decision and judgment criteria will not have a precedential or collateral estoppel effect on Claims asserted by any individual or entity who was not party to the arbitration. If any provision of this Arbitration Agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be severed, and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced (but in no case will there be a class or representative arbitration). This Arbitration Agreement will be governed by the FAA. If a court or arbitrator decides that this Arbitration Agreement cannot be enforced as to a particular Claim for relief, then that Claim (and only that Claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court. Individual Claims filed in small claims court are not subject to this Arbitration Agreement as long as the Claim remains in small claims court. The arbitrator alone will have the authority to interpret the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement, except that any Claim concerning the scope or enforceability of the prohibition on class, collective, or representative Claims, or Claims in arbitration for public injunctive relief, will be resolved by the state and federal courts in city and county of San Francisco, California in accordance with California law.
