1. Loading Activity

  • You may maintain funds in your Account, and such funds will be known as your “MARKET CARD ACCOUNT BALANCE.” When you load money into your Account using a Payment Card, you are authorizing the Company to charge this Card. Please note that Avanti will be “merchant of record” for all charges to your Payment Card made using your Account, which means that this name will appear on your Payment Card statement, not the name of the Market Operator or Employer / Market Sponsor whose name may appear on the Market where you make a purchase. The Payment Cards that can be used with your Account will be determined by the Company and/or Market Operator in its sole discretion, and may change over time.
  • To make reloading your Account easier, you can use the Auto-Reload feature. To set up Auto-Reload, visit the Website and log into your account. Simply set up the balance at which you want to trigger a reload, and the Auto-Reload amount to load onto your Market Card Account. Your Payment Card will be billed for the designated reload amount when your balance meets the reload threshold you select. You can change your preferences at any time, but changes may take up to 24 hours to go into effect. To discontinue your Auto-Reload, you must visit the Website. Changes will be in effect within 24 hours of your request. Once the dollar value is loaded, the value may be used through Payment Activity, but the load transaction cannot be reversed.
  • Market Card Account Balances will be maintained by the Company and/or your Market Operator. Neither entity is a bank and neither entity accepts deposits or maintains deposit obligations for you. Market Card Account Balances are not deposit obligations of Account users and are not insured for the benefit of Account Users by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other governmental agency. The Company and/or your Market Operator do not pay interest to you on Market Card Account Balances or any other funds. You assign to your Market Operator or the Company the right to earn interest on funds in the deposit account of the bank, in consideration of your use of the Services.
  • You are not permitted to withdraw funds from your Account. However, the Company may credit funds back to the Payment Card linked to your Account in the event of fraud or unauthorized use of the Payment Card.
  • If for any reason, your Market Card Account Balance becomes negative, you authorize the Company to (i) initiate a debit or charge to your Payment Cards that are linked to your Account to bring your Market Card Account Balance to $0, and/or (ii) use a third party to recover funds from you to bring your Market Card Account Balance to $0. Your authorizations under this paragraph remain in effect until ninety (90) days following termination or cancellation of your Account.

2.Payment Activity

  • When you purchase goods using your Account, you are authorizing the Company to deduct the purchase amount from your Account.
  • If you encounter difficulties in making a purchase, please contact the Market Operator for assistance or the Company if the problem relates to the use of APP.

3. Account Benefits

  • The Company may enable Market Operators, Brand Partners, third party entities, and itself to offer you promotions, programs, offers, coupons, and loyalty programs.

7. Updates to APP

  • We may from time to time provide updates to the APP on your mobile device. These updates may be provided automatically “over the air” and are designed to improve, enhance, and further develop the APP. These updates may take the form of revisions to these Terms of Service and/or the Privacy Policy, and can include Electronic Communications (see Section H below), bug fixes, enhanced functions, and new software modules. You agree to receive and install such updates (and permit us to deliver these to you) as part of your use of the APP, and understand that fees and charges may apply (see Section D below).
  • The Services are controlled and operated from facilities in the United States. The Company makes no representations that the Services are appropriate or available for use in other locations.

2. Wireless Service Provider Fees and Charges; Data Limit Applicability

  • When using your APP, your wireless service provider may charge you for data transmitted to or from your mobile device and/or text messages. Text messaging and data transmissions also may be applied against data usage limits set by your wireless service provider and you are solely responsible for such charges. Those messages and transmissions and related charges may be triggered by your usage of the APP (for example, to make a purchase) as well as updates to the APP. When you use the APP to make a purchase, general information about the status of the Kiosk where the purchase was made, such as product inventory levels, may be transmitted through your mobile device as well. Charges by your wireless service provider will appear on your wireless service provider bill pursuant to your wireless service contract. Additionally, roaming and other fees and charges may apply when roaming outside your home service area. Contact your wireless service provider for complete pricing and other details.

You are responsible for safeguarding your User ID, password, and PIN code.

N. Disputes

If a dispute of any kind arises related to the Services, we want to understand and address your concerns quickly and to your satisfaction. Please contact the Company’s Customer Support at Info@avantimarkets.com with any dispute. If we cannot resolve your concerns, we agree to an informal and inexpensive dispute resolution process requiring individual arbitration. “DISPUTES” between you and the Company (“The Company” includes its processors, suppliers, or licensors (or their respective affiliates, agents, directors, or employees)) are defined for the purposes of this Agreement to include any claim, controversy, or dispute (whether involving contract, tort, equitable, statutory, or any other legal theory) between you and the Company including but not limited to any claims relating in any way to these Terms of Service (including their breach, termination, or interpretation), any other aspect of our relationship, the Company’s communications, and any use of the Company’s Services. “Disputes” also include any claims that arose before these Terms of Service and that may arise after termination of these Terms of Service.


O. Binding Individual Arbitration

You and the Company agree to arbitrate all Disputes. Instead of a judge or a jury, Disputes will be decided by a single neutral arbitrator who has the power to award the same damages and relief that a court could order. ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL ONLY BE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTIONS, AND CONSOLIDATION WITH OTHER ARBITRATIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED, AND YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO HAVE A DISPUTE DECIDED BY A JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AGAINST THE COMPANY. 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 arbitration).


Except for consumer claimants, as hereafter defined, all Disputes will be resolved finally and exclusively by binding individual arbitration with a single arbitrator administered by the American Arbitration Association (www.adr.org) or JAMS (www.jamsadr.com) according to this provision and the applicable arbitration rules for that forum. Consumer claimants (individuals whose transaction is intended for personal, family, or household use) may elect to pursue their claims in their local small-claims court rather than through arbitration. The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16 applies. If you are a consumer bringing a claim relating to personal, household, or family use, any arbitration hearing will occur within the county or parish where you reside. Otherwise, any arbitration hearing will occur in Seattle, Washington, or another mutually agreeable location.


The arbitrator’s award will be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. For any Dispute, the Company will pay all the arbitration fees. If you prevail on any claim for which you are legally entitled to attorney’s fees, you may recover an award of reasonable attorney’s fees as part of an arbitration award. For any claim where you are seeking relief, the Company will not seek an award for the recovery of its attorney’s fees, unless the arbitrator determines that your claim was frivolous. For purposes of this arbitration provision, references to you and the Company also include respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors, successors, and assigns as well as authorized users or beneficiaries of the Company’s Services.


Subject to and without waiver of the arbitration provisions above, you agree that any judicial proceedings (other than small claims actions in consumer cases) will be brought in and you hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state courts in the Seattle, Washington, or federal court for the Western District of Washington.


P. Governing Law

These Terms of Service and any dispute will be governed by Washington law and/or applicable federal law (including the Federal Arbitration Act) as applied to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within Washington, without regard to its choice of law or conflicts of law principles that would require application of law of a different jurisdiction.


Q. Limitation on Time to Initiate a Dispute

Unless otherwise required by law, an action or proceeding by you relating to any Dispute must commence within one year after the cause of action arises.


R. Termination

These Terms of Service will remain in full force and effect until terminated by either you or the Company. If you wish to terminate, you may do so by closing your Account by contacting Customer Service at Info@avantimarkets.com.


We reserve the right at any time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Services, or your access to the Services, with or without notice. You agree that we will NOT BE LIABLE to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of the Services, or your access to the Services. Within ninety (90) days following termination of your Account, the Market Operator or the Company will credit your Market Card Account Balance back to the Payment Card linked to your Account.


S. Survival

In addition to any provision that is reasonably necessary to accomplish or enforce the purpose of this Agreement, the following Sections of this Agreement survive and remain in effect in accordance with their terms upon the termination of this Agreement: preamble and Sections C(1) (fifth paragraph only), C(2), C(6), F(2), I(1), and I(2) (excluding first sentence).


T. Assignment

This Agreement, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you without the Company’s written consent but may be assigned by the Company without restriction.


U. Miscellaneous Provisions

These Terms of Service contain the entire agreement between you and the Company pertaining to your use of the Services, and expressly exclude any writings, representations, agreements, or understandings not specifically captured or contained herein, whether written or oral. If any provision of these Terms of Service is deemed unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms of Service and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. The failure to enforce any of these Terms of Service on one occasion will not prevent enforcement on any other occasion or the enforcement of any other term. Headings and captions will not be considered included for purposes of interpretation or application hereof, but are for convenience only.


V. Contacting Appropriate Parties

If you have any questions regarding the Services, please contact us at Info@avantimarkets.com. You should contact the applicable Market Operator for questions relating to your purchase.
