AUTHORIZATION: Nelnet Business Solutions, Inc. (NBS), Lincoln, Nebraska (formerly FACTS) has contracted with Triton College to act as its agent for the collection of tuition and/or fees. As the Responsible Party whose signature appears on this agreement, you accept and agree to be bound by the agreement’s terms and conditions until the total amount owed is paid in full. Additionally, you authorize NBS (or American Card Services, Inc., if applicable) to process payments and fees from the account provided or any subsequent account provided. Your authorization will terminate when the total balance due has been paid (including fees, unless waived).

DOWN PAYMENTS: If you elect to make a down payment, that payment will be processed by NBS immediately according to the payment method you have selected. Should your down payment fail, NBS will notify you that your agreement has been terminated. You will be instructed to reenroll through NBS or make payment arrangements directly with Triton College.

ENROLLMENT FEE: The nonrefundable enrollment fee will be deducted from the account provided within 14 days of the agreement being posted to the NBS system. The nonrefundable enrollment fee is based upon the number of payments selected for each NBS agreement period. If the entire balance due is not paid within the agreement period or twelve (12) months, whichever period is shorter, an agreement is in renewal. On the renewal date of such an agreement, NBS may assess a new nonrefundable enrollment fee. If any fees are returned, they will be reattempted. Fees are subject to change in future academic years. The nonrefundable enrollment fee applicable to this agreement is shown at the bottom of this page.

RETURNED PAYMENT FEE: If a payment is returned by your financial institution, a $25 returned payment fee will be automatically deducted from the account provided within 20 days. A returned payment fee will be assessed for each payment attempt that is returned. If any fees are returned by your financial institution, they will be reattempted. Fees are subject to change in future academic years.

PAYMENT METHOD: If you wish to change from a checking or savings account to a credit card, or vice versa, you will need to complete a new agreement and an additional nonrefundable enrollment fee will be automatically deducted.

PAYMENT DATE: If your payment date falls on a weekend or a banking holiday observed by the Federal Reserve, the payment will be attempted on the next business day. Although NBS specifies the date each payment will occur, your financial institution determines the time of day the payment is debited to the account.

CUSTODIAL ACCOUNT: NBS does not guarantee any payments it does not collect from you. Collected funds shall be held by NBS as your agent until remitted to Triton College. Depending upon Triton College’s policy, payments returned by your financial institution will be automatically reattempted. Refunds of any money paid to NBS, except for any applicable NBS fees, will be handled by Triton College according to its refund policy. Interest earned on custodial funds is payable to NBS.

CHANGES TO AGREEMENTS:
A. You may make changes to the information you provided in this agreement by contacting Triton College. The timely application of changes depends on when they are received by NBS; NBS may refuse to apply changes prior to the next scheduled payment date if NBS determines, for whatever reason, that it does not have sufficient time to act on them. In the event that you authorize additional services from Triton College, or in the event that additional fees are assessed by Triton College in accordance with its policies, you understand that the total balance due and/or payment amount will change. You agree that your authorization of any such change shall constitute your authorization to change the payment amount, and/or to continue payments until the total balance due is paid in full. If you, as the Responsible Party, are not the student, you authorize the student to make changes to his or her schedule or activities and agree to be bound by any such changes. You do not require NBS or Triton College to send advance notice of any adjustments resulting from any such changed authorization, which includes any reduction in the balance due and/or payment as a result of financial aid, or any other similar cause. However, a copy of any such changed authorization is to be provided to you by Triton College.

B. If there will be any change in the preauthorized payment amount other than a change made by you, as described above, Triton College will give you notice of such changed payment amount at least ten (10) days in advance of the next scheduled payment.

C. You may revoke your authorization by sending NBS a signed, written notification or an e-mail; upon receipt, NBS will immediately terminate your agreement. However, terminating your agreement with NBS in no way affects your obligation to pay Triton College, and you will be charged another nonrefundable enrollment fee if you need to begin a new agreement.

CONFIRMATION: Any and all inconsistencies in the information provided will be resolved in the confirmation notification sent to you from NBS. Changes made by Triton College that are received by NBS before the notification is sent may also be included. In either event, the confirmation notification shall be controlling.

DISCOVERY OF SUSPECTED ERRORS: If you discover what you believe to be an error made by NBS, you must report the suspected error to NBS immediately. NBS must hear from you no later than sixty (60) days after the suspected error occurred. This obligates you to timely review of your bank statements and a timely response to company letters, e-mails, or phone calls. It is your responsibility to report suspected errors as soon as possible.

GOVERNING LAW: You acknowledge that the origination of ACH transactions to your account must comply with the provisions of U.S. law. This agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Illinois. The Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, shall be the sole venue for filing any action. This agreement should in no way be construed to be a lender-borrower agreement between NBS and Triton College or NBS and you.
