Electronic Payment Services

We are pleased to offer electronic payment services (“Service'“) to customers and brokers on select MOPS programs. The Service provides the ability to pay bills electronically through an electronic payment interface with our vendor, One, Inc. If you choose to pay your MOPS bills electronically, you must expressly indicate your agreement to all of the Terms & Conditions as stated here. In addition to these Terms & Conditions, you should review our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs). The FAQs page includes important information about how the Service works, the safeguards that are in place to protect your information and how to obtain help if you have a problem using the Service.

Authentication And Authorization For Electronic Payments

  • This Service incorporates commercially reasonable methods to authenticate the information that you supply for making a payment through this Service. You will not be able to submit a payment until your identity is authenticated and you will not be allowed to use the Service to pay your bill until you have read and agreed to these Terms & Conditions.

  • Authentication and authorization for Service usage will be withdrawn from policyholders with a policy expired greater than 90 days and having no open invoice and from brokers/producers with accounts that have been inactive for more than one year.

  • As a user of this Service, and upon your acceptance of these Terms & Conditions, you will submit your bank account or payment card account (your “Designated Account”) information. You are responsible for any legal, regulatory or banking penalties and fees that may be assessed for supplying false information for use with the Service.

  • If the Designated Account is a bank or payment card account for a business, then it must be one for which you are a properly authorized signer.

  • You must submit your email address to receive confirmation of your electronic payment. Your email address will be used only for the purpose of transacting the payment you have authorized and MOPS providing you with information related to the delivery of MOPS products and services.

  • By accepting the Terms & Conditions, you authorize our electronic payment vendor to initiate a charge to your Designated Account according to your instructions. Each time you use the Service to pay your MOPS statement or if you have scheduled recurring automatic payments, you will be reauthorizing the vendor to charge your Designated Account.

  • By accepting these Terms & Conditions, you represent and warrant that:

  1. You are 18 years old or older;

  2. You are using your actual identity and any information you provide is accurate and complete;

  3. You are legally authorized to make payments using the Designated Account;

  4. You have read and agreed to our Privacy Policy; and

  5. Your use of the Service will not violate any local, state, federal or international laws or regulations.

APPLICATION OF ELECTRONIC PAYMENTS

By providing our electronic payment vendor with the information for your Designated Account, you are authorizing the vendor to follow the payment instructions received from you and process the payment. More specifically, when you use this Service to send payment instruction, you authorize MOPS’ electronic payment vendor to initiate a message to your bank or payment card provider, as applicable, to charge your Designated Account and to send those funds to us for payment on your account. Payment may take up to three (3) business days to be applied to your account. AN ELECTRONIC PAYMENT ON YOUR MOPS ACCOUNT DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY REINSTATE A CANCELLED INSURANCE POLICY OR RESCIND THE PENDING CANCELLATION OF AN INSURANCE POLICY. YOU MUST CONTACT EITHER YOUR MOPS REPRESENTATIVE OR YOUR INSURANCE BROKER TO VERIFY THE STATUS OF YOUR INSURANCE POLICY. THE STATUS OF A MOPS INSURANCE POLICY CANNOT BE CONFIRMED THROUGH THE WEBSITE.

Disclaimer Of Warranty

The content and materials on the MOPS website are provided “as is.” We expressly disclaim all warranties, express or implied, with respect to the MOPS website and the material contained therein. This includes, but is not limited to, warranties that the material is of any particular level of quality or is fit for a particular purpose; that the functions or operations of this site will be uninterrupted or error-free; that defects will be corrected; that our websites, email sent from MOPS or the servers that make them available are free of viruses or other harmful components or conditions; or that the information contained in the sites is accurate as of any particular date. Some states do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties, so the foregoing disclaimer may not apply to you.

Limitation Of Liability

Neither MOPS nor its electronic payment service vendor is responsible for any injury, loss, claim or damage, nor any indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages of any kind, whether based in contract, tort, strict liability, or otherwise, which arises out of (1) the use of, or the inability to use, the MOPS site or the information found on the MOPS site; (2) use of, or the inability to use, any site to which you hyperlink from our sites; (3) failure of performance; (4) error, omission, interruption, defect or delay in operation or transmission; (5) computer viruses; (6) line failure or (7) transactions effected with a lost, stolen, counterfeit or misused login ID, password or account information. We are not liable for any economic, consequential or incidental damages, damages reasonably expected to result from a loss or injury or other miscellaneous damages and expenses resulting directly from a loss or injury. In addition, MOPS is not liable, even if we have been negligent or if we have been advised of the possibility of damages. Some states do not allow the exclusion of liability for certain damages, so the foregoing exclusions may not apply to you in their entirety. Our liability to you for all losses of any kind, regardless of the legal theory for the claim, is limited, in any event, to the amount you have paid to access our sites.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold MOPS harmless from and against any and all liability, loss, claims, damages, costs and actions including reasonable attorney fees based upon or arising out of any breach by you of your obligations under these Terms & Conditions. We reserve the right to defend any such claim, and you agree to provide such reasonable cooperation and information as MOPS may request.

Jurisdiction

Use of this site shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any principles of the conflicts of laws. Any dispute concerning this site shall be subject to the exclusive venue of a court of competent jurisdiction in Nassau County, New York.

Should any provision of these Terms & Conditions be held invalid, unlawful or for any reason unenforceable, then the invalid, unlawful or unenforceable provision shall be severable from the remaining provisions.
