Please read the Agreement carefully before accessing or using the Rho Services.

If you are using the Rho Services, as a Company, User or Admin User, the Rho Data Processing Agreement (“DPA”) governs Rho’s processing of your Personal Data (as defined in the DPA). In the event of a conflict between this Agreement (including the Rho Privacy Policy incorporated by reference herein) and the DPA, the DPA governs. Capitalized terms in the Agreement are defined in the glossary at the end of the Agreement.
Rho is a financial technology company and not a bank.

- Information About Procedures For Opening A Rho Account
A Rho Account provides you access to the Rho Services. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. What this means for you: when you open a new account with Rho or a Sponsor Bank, you will be asked by Rho in connection with the Rho Services and/or its role as a program manager on behalf of a Sponsor Bank, for your control party’s name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you and control parties, including copies of driver’s licenses or other identifying documentation. We may also seek to obtain, verify, and record the same information for each person authorized to act as an Admin User or User of your Rho Account or any Rho Service.

- Account Information from Third-Party Sites
In order to use or access the Rho Services, you may be required to direct us to retrieve your information maintained online by third party financial institutions with which you have customer relationships, maintain accounts or engage in financial transactions (“Account Information”). We will then connect directly with your online financial service providers to access this Account Information. We may also work with one or more third-party financial service technology providers to access and retrieve your Account Information.
We cannot always foresee or anticipate technical or other difficulties, which may result in failure to obtain data or loss of data, personalization settings or other service interruptions. We cannot assume responsibility for the timeliness, accuracy, deletion, non-delivery or failure to store any user data, communications or personalization settings. For example, Account Information may be stale as of the time viewed, which reflects the fact that time may have passed between the time the information is downloaded from the third-party financial institution and the time such information is viewed by you. Such information may be more up to date when obtained directly from the relevant sites.
By submitting information, data, passwords, usernames, PINs, other login information, materials and other content through the Sites (“User Content”), you are licensing the User Content to us solely for the purpose of providing the Rho Services. We may use and store the User Content. By submitting User Content to us, you represent that you are entitled to submit it to us for use for this purpose, without any other limitations or obligation by us to pay any fees.
You authorize us to use Account Information that you provide us, including usernames and passwords, to log into the third-party site(s) that maintains your Account Information. You hereby authorize and permit us to use and store such information to accomplish the foregoing and to configure the services so that they are compatible with the third-party sites that maintain your Account Information. You grant Rho (or, in connection with the Treasury Services (as defined in Addendum D), RBB Treasury LLC) limited power of attorney, and appoint Rho (or, in connection with the Treasury Services (as defined in Addendum D), RBB Treasury LLC) as your attorney-in-fact and agent, to access third party sites and retrieve and use your information with the full power and authority to do and perform each thing necessary as you could do in person, but solely in connection with providing the Account Information to you as part of the Rho Services and/or Treasury Services, as applicable.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT WHEN WE ARE ACCESSING AND RETRIEVING ACCOUNT INFORMATION FROM THIRD-PARTY PLATFORMS, WE ARE ACTING AS YOUR AGENT, AND NOT AS THE AGENT OF OR ON BEHALF OF THE THIRD PARTY.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, we shall have no authority to take or have possession of any assets in the accounts maintained by such third parties or to direct delivery of any securities or payment of any funds held in such account to itself or to direct any disposition of such securities or funds. You agree that third party account providers shall be entitled to rely on the foregoing authorization, agency and power of attorney granted by you. While our services may be sponsored or endorsed by the third parties with whom your Account Information is held from time to time, you should not assume that the Rho Services are sponsored or endorsed by any third parties with whom your Account Information is held.

- Arbitration Provision and Class Action Waiver
THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE AGREEING TO THESE TERMS. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE NOTED, CAPITALIZED TERMS HAVE THE MEANING SPECIFIED IN THE AGREEMENT.
- Generally
Any dispute arising in connection with this Agreement will be resolved by binding arbitration whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of this Agreement. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND RHO ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
- Expectation
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.
- Arbitrator
Any arbitration between you and Rho will be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act and administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). If you have any questions concerning the AAA or would like to obtain a copy of the AAA arbitration rules, you may call (800) 778-7879 or visit the AAA’s web site at: www.adr.org. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement. There shall be a single arbitrator who shall be an attorney practicing commercial law in New York. The arbitration shall take place in English.
- Notice Of Arbitration; Process
A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a Rho physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice of Arbitration”). Rho’s address for Notice is: Under Technologies, Inc., dba Rho Technologies, 100 Crosby Street, New York, NY 10012. The Notice of Arbitration must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice of Arbitration is received, you or Rho may commence an arbitration proceeding. All arbitration proceedings between the parties will be confidential unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Rho must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If the arbitrator awards you an amount higher than the last written settlement amount offered by Rho in settlement of the dispute prior to the award, Rho will pay to you the higher of: (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator; or (ii) $10,000.
- Arbitration Fees
If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in New York County, New York, but if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse Rho for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within fourteen (14) days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.
- No Class Actions
YOU AND RHO AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Rho agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
- Modifications to This Arbitration Provision
If Rho makes any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to Rho’s address for Notice of Arbitration, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within thirty (30) days of the change to Rho’s address for Notice of Arbitration, in which case your Rho Account will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.

- Amendments

- Successors
This Agreement and the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
- Remedies
All remedies of either party hereunder are cumulative and may be exercised concurrently or separately. The exercise of any one remedy shall not be deemed to be an election of such remedy and shall not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. No failure on the part of either party to exercise and no delay in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or remedy.
- Governing Law
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflict of law principles.
- Claims
No legal action of any kind arising out of this Agreement may be brought by you against Rho if the event giving rise to said legal action occurred more than one (1) year before the legal action is commenced.

This agreement (“Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms Agreement”) governs the use of your Rho Corporate Credit Card with Daily Terms (“Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms”) issued by Webster Bank, N.A., an FDIC-insured national bank (the “Issuer”), and outlines the responsibilities of the Company. Use of the Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms constitutes the Company’s acceptance of this Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms Agreement. This Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms Agreement may be updated by us at any time in our sole and absolute discretion.
Please read this Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms Agreement in its entirety and keep it for your records. In this Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms Agreement, the words “you,” “your,” “yours,” mean the business agreeing to this Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms Agreement (the “Company”), including each officer, employee, agent, or representative that is authorized by the Company to use the Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms issued hereunder (each, a “Cardholder”). The Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms may be used for business purposes only. The words “Rho,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and “ours,” means Webster Bank, N.A. or the program manager, Under Technologies, Inc., dba Rho Technologies, or their successors, affiliates and assigns, as the context may dictate.
Acceptance of this Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms Agreement through the use of your Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms authorizes and directs us to authorize initiated transactions and to ultimately debit your linked Rho Account (as defined in the Agreement) or other linked account(s) to settle the amounts owed to us during a Billing Cycle for such authorized transactions (“Charges”) and for the use of the Rho Services, including but not limited to our applications and financial products and tools. This may include fees and fines as set forth in the Agreement or this Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms Agreement, as may be amended from time to time.
Company represents that all authorized Users acknowledge, understand and will comply with the obligations set forth herein, as well as any other applicable agreements, including the Agreement.
Capitalized terms that are not defined in this Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms Agreement have the definitions provided in the Agreement.
- Rho One-Day Corporate Cards
- Issuer Card Terms
Rho Corporate Cards with Daily Terms are issued solely by the Issuer, Webster Bank, N.A. Issuer is the creditor responsible for funding your Charges that result from the use of your Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms. This Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms Agreement governs your use of the Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms. You may only use the Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms if you agree to the terms set forth in this Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms Agreement and the terms and conditions applicable to opening an account with the Issuer.
We and/or the Issuer may, at any time, update this Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms Agreement. We may provide notice to you if we or the Issuer do. Your continued use of the Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms shall constitute your acceptance of this Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms Agreement.
- Credit Account Integration
Subject to the Agreement, Company hereby authorizes us to integrate the Credit Account opened hereunder with the Rho Account, as such term is defined in the Agreement, so that the Company authorizes and consents to (i) information concerning the Credit Account be accessible in the Company’s Rho Account and vice versa and (ii) payments of any charges may be made directly from the Rho Account to the Credit Account at the discretion of us or the Issuer. You authorize that each debit from your Rho Account, or any other linked account you use to make payments to us or the Issuer, may be made based upon automatic transfer payment, ACH consent, or by any other means we may deem convenient or appropriate in our sole discretion.
- Spending Limitation
Company understands and agrees that the One-Day Corporate Card is a charge card; and all advances or extensions of credit provided to you in connection with this Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms Agreement are uncommitted. The spending limit for you is determined based on underwriting criteria. Your spending limit shall be established by us in our sole discretion. The spending limit may depend on several factors including, but not limited to the industry the Company is engaged in; spending volume; the nature of the Company’s business; the length of time the Company has been in business; and the Company’s revenue and cash, amongst others. At any time, we may, in our sole and absolute discretion, determine that Company does not satisfy our underwriting criteria requirements or that Company does or may impose unacceptable credit risks, compliance risks, reputational risks, and/or other risks to us or to our investor(s), funding source(s), and/or partner(s).
At any given time, the Company shall have one aggregate dollar spending limit, regardless of how many Cards can access the Credit Account. At no time shall we be required to disclose the spending limit to you. However, we may provide guidance to you and provide you with information about the spending limit. In our sole and absolute discretion, we may modify or change the spending limit at any time, at a frequency of our own choosing, with or without providing any notice to you. We reserve the right to reduce your spending limit to zero dollars at our sole discretion.
The spending limit we establish for the Company is a spending limit that applies to all Billing Cycles in the aggregate and to the Company as a whole, including all Cards associated with or in connection with the Credit Account. The amount of spending limit available to you shall be offset and reduced by the outstanding Charges and advances made in the current Billing Cycle and prior Billing Cycle, collectively, to the extent that such Charges and advances have not been paid in full. The sum of all Company’s Obligations must, at all times, be less than the spending limit.
If Company’s Obligations, at any time, exceeds the Company’s spending limit determined by us, or you have otherwise breached this Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms Agreement, we reserve the rights to declare that all such Company’s Obligations be immediately due and payable to satisfy such Company’s Obligations in full, as permitted by this Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms Agreement and applicable law.
We reserve the right, in our sole discretion to limit, freeze, suspend or terminate your Credit Account or Rho Account or restrict access to said accounts. We may also debit your Rho Account, or any other linked account, for any amounts owed to us at the time of such action.
We may hold, freeze, or temporarily suspend your ability to use your Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms when the Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms is used for a transaction where the final amount or cost of the transaction is unknown at the time of authorization. These transactions typically include the purchase at restaurants, hotel, and rental car companies. We may also place a hold on funds held in your Rho Account during this time. If a hold is placed on the funds held in your Rho Account, it may be in the amount less than, equal to, or higher than the actual or final Charge against you.
Before the Company is issued a Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms for its authorized Users, the Company agrees to provide us with true, accurate, correct, and the most up-to-date financial statements, and such other financial information about the Company that we may reasonably request (“Requested Financial Information”). Requested Financial Information includes but is not limited to the most up-to date profit and loss statement(s), balance sheet(s), and financial or such other information in connection with the Company’s, its owned affiliates, subsidiaries, and/or parent companies.
You authorize us to access at this time, and on a continuing basis, the Company’s accounting platform and bank information for underwriting and credit risk monitoring purposes. If you do not provide us with access to the Company’s accounting platform, or if the Company does not use an accounting platform which is accessible to us, you agree to send us, by electronic means, Requested Financial Information each month, no later than the thirtieth (30th) day of the following month. In addition to the foregoing, we may also require you to promptly provide us with Requested Financial Information at any given time.
The Company’s spending limit with us may, in our sole discretion, be decreased if we do not have access to the Company’s Requested Financial Information on a timely basis. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms Agreement, except as provided by law, you may be held liable for consequential, incidental, special, or exemplary damages for your failure to provide Requested Financial Information.
- Control of Credit Account
Authorized Administrators may set specific controls for and limits for Users through your Rho Account on the Platform. Under no circumstance may Administrators or Users, either on their own or collectively, exceed the spending limit established by us for the Company.
- Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms Requests
Persons who are authorized by the Company may use the Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms. The Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms may not be used by unauthorized persons. Administrators may request Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms for themselves, if authorized, and other Users through your Rho Account. One Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms may be issued per one person and multiple Rho Corporate Cards with Daily Terms may not be issued to one person, unless authorized by the Company. We have no obligation to confirm that the person using a Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms is authorized and assume you will only permit authorized persons to use the Rho Corporate Cards with Daily Terms in accordance with the terms of this Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms Agreement.
Any time a Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms is requested for a User, the Administrator must provide us with information about the User. The information required to request and receive a Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms for a User includes but may not be limited to the User’s full legal name; full date of birth; personal residence address; government identification number as well as contact information.
After we process a User’s information, we may, in our sole discretion, issue the User a Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms accessing your Account. The Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms may be issued in physical or virtual form. After the Rho Corporate Cards with Daily Terms are issued, they may be managed through the Company’s Rho Account and through the Platform. The Company is responsible for securing the Rho Corporate Cards with Daily Terms and account information (including the Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms, Rho Account, and Credit Account numbers, security codes and passwords). The Company is responsible for any and all of the User’s transactions.
The Company shall create a procedure to ensure that the information is protected from unauthorized persons or individuals who are not entitled to such information and that Company shall take steps to prevent the exposure of such information.
- Card Transactions
Rho Corporate Cards with Daily Terms may only be used for authorized and bona fide business-related transactions. You are responsible for all such transactions and the individuals in the Company who are authorized to use the Rho Corporate Cards with Daily Terms and you are responsible to inform and explain to Users the scope of transactions and activities Users are permitted to engage any time Users use the Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms. You are also responsible for implementing protections and controls designed to protect the Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms from unauthorized or prohibited use. Any time the Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms is used by any individual, you are responsible for the use of the Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms.
We, the Issuer, Third-Party Service Providers, or the Card Network may, at any time, without providing notice to you, decline or reverse charges for any reason. You agree to hold us, the Issuer, Third-Party Service Providers, and the Card Network harmless for any losses, harm, or damages caused by any Charges that are declined or reversed.
Unless prohibited by applicable law, or otherwise provided in accordance with any liability waiver program provided by the Card Network (the “Card Network Liability Waiver Program”), you agree as follows:
- if we issue at least ten (10) Cards to you and your Users, you will be liable for all unauthorized use of all Cards.
- If we issue fewer than ten (10) Cards to you and your Users, your liability for unauthorized use of a Card will be limited to the lesser of (i) $50.00 or (ii) the amount of money, property, labor or services obtained by the unauthorized use.
The Company will not be liable, however, for any unauthorized use that occurs after we receive notice of suspected unauthorized use. For purposes of this Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms Agreement, “unauthorized use” refers to any transaction by a person, other than the User to whom the relevant Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms, if any, was issued, who was not authorized to use such Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms by either such User or you and from which transaction neither the User nor the Company receives any direct or indirect benefit. Unless we have received notice and canceled the Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms, use of a Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms by a User at any time, even if the User is no longer associated with or employed by you, does not constitute unauthorized use. You agree that you will not impose any liability on any User for unauthorized use of any Card in excess of the amount permitted under Regulation Z of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, 12 C.F.R. Part 1026, as amended.
If a Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms is used to effect a purchase in a foreign currency, the transaction will be converted into a U.S. dollars amount based on the exchange rate on the day the transaction is settled, plus any special currency exchange charges that may be imposed by us, the Card Network and/or by any third-party used to complete the transaction. The exchange rate applied to each such transaction is (1) a rate selected by the Card Network from the range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the applicable central processing date, which rate may vary from the rate the Card Network itself receives, or (2) the government-mandated rate in effect for the applicable central processing date. Because of the special charges and possible differences in exchange rates between the time you initiated the transaction and the time we settle, the total charge for a foreign transaction may be less than or greater than the transaction at the time it was made. You agree to pay all foreign transaction fees imposed by us, and all international transaction fees and/or special charges that may be imposed by the Card Network and/or by any third-party used to complete the transaction.
- Limitations
In addition to the above, for security, legal, regulatory, or loss risk reasons, when we or our Sponsor Bank suspect that irregular, unauthorized, or unlawful activities may be occurring in connection with the Card or account, we may block, freeze, suspend, or place a hold on an account pending an investigation of such suspected activities. If an account is blocked, we will provide any notices required by the laws governing the account.
For security, legal, regulatory, or loss risk or verification reasons, we or our Sponsor Bank may, at our sole discretion, with or without prior notice, limit the availability, type, amount, or number of transactions you can make with your account.
For security reasons, to prevent fraud, and/or to comply with legal obligations, we or our Sponsor Bank may ask for additional information from you and from third parties. We may put your payment, deposit, or your payment method on hold for review. If you do not cooperate with our review process, your deposit or payment may be delayed or declined, and we reserve the right to take any actions necessary with your account, including termination. New accounts may be subject to longer hold or review periods.
- Notify Us if your Card is Lost or Stolen
The Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms is a commercial credit card and does not provide consumer protections for lost or stolen credit cards or unauthorized transactions. Company shall immediately notify us if any unauthorized person obtains access to a Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms or initiates an unauthorized transaction.

For unauthorized Charges, you may contact us and we will investigate and based on such investigation, we may issue you a Chargeback.

If you and the merchant do not settle the dispute or if the dispute is not resolved, you may initiate a Chargeback through your Rho Account or contact us. If a Chargeback is initiated, we will conduct an investigation and make a determination as to whether a full or partial refund will be honored. There are existing procedures established by the Card Network for resolving disputes. These procedures may require you to document or provide details about the Charge or transaction. You hereby acknowledge, understand, and accept that a Charge, Chargeback, and disputed charges are subject to the Card Network rules and regulations and we are limited and restricted to those rules and regulations in our investigation and dispute settlement process.
Any Charges in connection with a dispute are subject to collection on the payment date if the dispute has not yet been resolved. A Chargeback resolved in your favor that results in a partial or whole refund will be credited to your Rho Account on the following or future statement(s). If you do not pay the Charge, expense, or transaction on the due date while the investigation for the dispute is in progress or when resolution is pending, we may suspend or freeze your Rho Account or Credit Account, impose fees, reduce the spending limit, and/or reduce or eliminate your spending limit, and we may also, within our sole discretion, declare the Company’s Obligations be immediately due and payable to us and without notice, debit your Rho Account or any other linked account amounts required to satisfy Company’s Obligations in full, as permitted by this Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms Agreement and applicable law.

- Payments Due
- Payments; Daily Billing Cycle; Billing Statements
Rho Corporate Cards with Daily Terms have a Daily Billing Cycle. That is, we will aggregate all charges during each Daily Billing cycle and then cause the Credit Account to be settled so that it has a zero balance at the end of the same day if such day is a business day, otherwise the next business day. There is no grace period.
By using your Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms, you agree and consent to pay the total due that is shown on each Billing Statement that we email to you or make available to you on the Platform. You acknowledge and agree that the entire new balance incurred during the Daily Billing Cycle is due and payable to us at the conclusion of the Daily Billing Cycle.
A Billing Statement will be electronically provided to you each day on which you have used your Rho Corporate Card with Daily Terms for a transaction or made a payment. We also will provide a Billing Statement to you if your Credit Account has a positive or negative balance of more than $1.00 or if a foreign transaction or other fee has been charged on that day. If none of the foregoing apply on any day, we generally will not provide a new Billing Statement to you for that day. A Billing Statement will be sent to the email address you provide when applying for your Rho Account. Your Billing Statement will show the “Account Balance” at the beginning of the day, the “Total Due” and the “Payment Due Date”, which shall be the amount due at the end of the day. The Billing Statement will also set forth an itemized list of current charges, payments and credits, and may include other important information. You will not be charged interest on your Credit Account and will not be charged any fees except as disclosed herein.
You agree to notify us of a change in your email address and/or your physical address by contacting Customer Service by logging into your Rho Account, by telephone or mail. We will deliver the billing statement to only one email address. If our emails to you bounce back or are rejected by the email server, for your protection we will immediately suspend Cards associated with your Account.

- Spending Limitation
All advances or extensions of credit provided to you in connection with this Monthly Card Agreement are uncommitted. We set the spending limit for you and determine our underwriting criteria. Your spending limit shall be established by us and depend on several factors including, but not limited to the industry the Company is engaged; spending volume; the nature of the Company’s business; the length of time the Company has been in business; and the Company’s revenue and cash, amongst others.

At any given time, the Company shall have one aggregate dollar spending limit, regardless of how many Cards can access your Credit Account. At no time shall we be required to disclose the spending limit to you. However, we may provide guidance to you and provide you with information about the spending limit. In our sole and absolute discretion, we may modify or change the spending limit at any time, at a frequency of our own choosing, with or without providing any notice to you. We reserve the right to reduce your spending limit to zero dollars at our sole discretion.
The spending limit we establish for the Company is a spending limit that applies to all Billing Cycles in the aggregate and to the Company as a whole, including all Cards associated with or in connection with the Credit Account. The amount of spending limit available to you shall be offset and reduced by the outstanding Charges and advances made in the current Billing Cycle and prior Billing Cycle, collectively, to the extent that such Charges and advances have not been paid in full. The sum of all Company’s Obligations must, at all times, be less than the spending limit.

These transactions typically include the purchase at restaurants; hotel; and rental car companies). We may also place a hold on funds held in your Rho Account during this time. If a hold is placed on the funds held in your Rho Account, it may be in the amount less, than, equal to, or higher than the actual or final Charge against you.
Before you, or the Company, is issued a Card, you agree to provide us with true, accurate, correct, and the most up-to-date financial statements, and such other financial information about the Company that we may reasonably request (“Requested Financial Information”). Requested Financial Information includes but is not limited to the most up-to date profit and loss statement(s), balance sheet(s), and financial or such other information in connection with the Company’s, its owned affiliates, subsidiaries, and/or parent companies.
You authorize us to access at this time, and on a continuing basis, the Company’s accounting platform and bank information for underwriting and credit risk monitoring purposes. If you do not provide us with access to the Company’s accounting platform, or if the Company does not use an accounting platform which is accessible to us, you agree to send us, by electronic means, Requested Financial Information each month, no later than the thirtieth (30th) day of the following month. In addition to the foregoing, we may also require you to promptly provide us with Requested Financial Information at any given time.
The Company’s spending limit with us may, in our sole discretion, be decreased if we do not have access to the Company’s Requested Financial Information on a timely basis. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Monthly Card Agreement, except as provided by law, you may be held liable for consequential, incidental, special, or exemplary damages for your failure to provide Requested Financial Information.
- Control of Credit Account
Authorized Administrators may set specific controls for and limits for Users through your Rho Account. Under no circumstance may Administrators or Users, either on their own or collectively, exceed the spending limit established by us for the Company.
- Card Requests
Persons who are authorized by the Company may use the Card. The Card may not be used by unauthorized persons. Administrators may request Cards for themselves, if authorized, and other Users through your Rho Account. One Card may be issued per one person and multiple Cards may not be issued to one person, unless authorized by the Company.
Any time a Card is requested for a User, the Administrator must provide us with information about the User. The information required to request and receive a Card for a User includes but may not be limited to the User’s full legal name; full date of birth; personal residence address; and contact information.
After we process a User’s information, we may, in our sole discretion, issue the User a Card. The card may be issued in physical or virtual form. After Cards are issued, they may be managed through the Company’s Rho Account. The Company is responsible for securing Cards and account information (including Card, Rho Account, and Credit Account numbers, security codes and passwords). The Company is responsible for any and all of the User’s transactions.
The Company shall create a procedure to ensure that the information is protected from unauthorized persons or individuals who are not entitled to such information and that Company shall take steps to prevent the exposure of such information.
- Card Transactions
Cards may only be used for authorized and bona fide business-related transactions. You are responsible for all such transactions and the individuals in the Company who are authorized to use Cards and you are responsible to inform and explain to Users the scope of transactions and activities Users are permitted to engage any time Users use the Card. You are also responsible for implementing protections and controls designed to protect the Card from unauthorized or prohibited use. Any time the Card is used by any individual, you are responsible for the use of the Card, provided that you provided the individual with access to the Card.
We, the Issuer, Third-Party Service Providers, or the Card Network may, at any time, without providing notice to you, decline or reverse charges for any reason. You agree to hold us, the Issuer, Third-Party Service Providers, and the Card Network harmless for any losses, harm, or damages caused by any Charges that are declined or reversed.
Unless prohibited by applicable law, or otherwise provided in accordance with any liability waiver program provided by the Card Network (the “Card Network Liability Waiver Program”), you agree as follows:
- If we issue at least ten (10) Cards to you and your Users, you will be liable for all unauthorized use of all Cards.
- If we issue fewer than ten (10) Cards to you and your Users, your liability for unauthorized use of a Card will be limited to the lesser of (i) $50.00 or (ii) the amount of money, property, labor or services obtained by the unauthorized use.
The Company will not be liable, however, for any unauthorized use that occurs after we receive notice of suspected unauthorized use. For purposes of this Monthly Card Agreement, “unauthorized use” refers to any transaction by a person, other than the User to whom the relevant Card, if any, was issued, who was not authorized to use such Card by either such User or you and from which transaction neither the User nor the Company receives any direct or indirect benefit. Unless we have received notice and canceled the Card, use of a Card by a User at any time, even if the User is no longer associated with or employed by you, does not constitute unauthorized use. You agree that you will not impose any liability on any User for unauthorized use of any Card in excess of the amount permitted under Regulation Z of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, 12 C.F.R. Part 1026, as amended.
If a Card is used to effect a purchase in a foreign currency, we will convert the transaction into a U.S. dollars amount based on the exchange rate on the day we settle the transaction, plus any special currency exchange charges that may be imposed by us, the Card Network and/or by any third-party used to complete the transaction. The exchange rate applied to each such transaction is (1) a rate selected by the Card Network from the range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the applicable central processing date, which rate may vary from the rate the Card Network itself receives, or (2) the government-mandated rate in effect for the applicable central processing date. Because of the special charges and possible differences in exchange rates between the time we settle and the time you initiated the transaction, the total charge for a foreign transaction may be less than or greater than the transaction at the time it was made. You agree to pay all foreign transaction fees imposed by us, and all international transaction fees and/or special charges that may be imposed by the Card Network and/or by any third-party used to complete the transaction.
- Limitations
In addition to the above, for security, legal, regulatory, or loss risk reasons, when we or our Sponsor Bank suspect that irregular, unauthorized, or unlawful activities may be occurring in connection with the Card or account, we may block, freeze, suspend, or place a hold on an account pending an investigation of such suspected activities. If an account is blocked, we will provide any notices required by the laws governing the account.
For security, legal, regulatory, or loss risk or verification reasons, we or our Sponsor Bank may, at our sole discretion, with or without prior notice, limit the availability, type, amount, or number of transactions you can make with your account.
For security reasons, to prevent fraud, and/or to comply with legal obligations, we or our Sponsor Bank may ask for additional information from you and from third parties. We may put your payment, deposit, or your payment method on hold for review. If you do not cooperate with our review process, your deposit or payment may be delayed or declined, and we reserve the right to take any actions necessary with your account, including termination. New accounts may be subject to longer hold or review periods.
- Notify Us if your Card is Lost or Stolen
The Card is a commercial credit card and does not provide consumer protections for lost or stolen credit cards or unauthorized transactions.

The collection of any of our unpaid amounts from you will not in any way constitute our waiver of rights or entitlement to legal remedy against you.

In the event of default under this Monthly Card Agreement, we shall have, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the right to set off and apply any and all deposits, against the Company’s Obligations, whether such deposit account is held by Rho, with or without providing notice to you.

Interest in the Savings Account is earned on a variable basis. Your funds will be managed and placed by ADM, a third party. ADM will use reasonable discretion to place funds in multiple financial institutions to maximize the interest rate received on the funds while ensuring that all funds are either insured or secured. Interest will be earned by you and calculated by ADM each statement period. Each month, you will receive a financial statement that will reflect the amount of interest earned from the previous statement period; and such statement, which reflects the amount of interest earned from the previous statement period, will be provided to you no later than the twentieth (20th) day of each calendar month. Additional information about interest earned in the Treasury Management Account may be found in the Deposit Account Agency Agreement, a copy of which we will provide to you before your Savings Account is opened.

As used in this Rho Portal Agreement, the terms “we,” “our,” “us,” and “Rho” mean Under Technologies, Inc., dba Rho Technologies, its subsidiaries, affiliates, directors, employees, agents, networks, applications, mobile applications, other services provided by us, as well as our Platform at https://rho.co.

Capitalized terms that are not defined in this Rho Portal Agreement have the definitions provided in the Agreement.
“Partner” means any entity such as an accounting firm, bookkeeping service, financial services company, or similar business entity engaged under this agreement. For instance, should the terms of the Rho Portal Agreement be accepted for the purpose of establishing a new Portal account on behalf of a corporation, said corporation shall be recognized as the Partner.
“Portal User” is an individual employee, agent, or representative of the Partner who is authorized by the Partner to access the Portal under this Rho Portal Agreement and is assigned a specific user role by the Partner.
- Partner Accounts
- Partner Accounts and User Roles
To access and utilize the Portal, the Partner is required to establish an account (“Partner Account”). This Partner Account, which is under the Partner's management, will include details pertinent to the Partner and the Rho Accounts of its Rho Users. In instances where an account is set up on behalf of the Partner, the individual doing so, designated as a “Partner Administrator,” acknowledges that the ownership of the Partner Account vests with the Partner, not the individual setting it up. The Partner is obligated to designate at least one individual as a Partner Administrator for the Partner Account.
Each Partner Administrator gains access to the Partner Account via a specific profile (“Administrator Profile”), enabling them to perform various functions within the Partner Account. These functions include, among others, the ability to invite additional Partner users (“Partner Users”) to establish Partner user roles (“Partner User Role”) and/or to assume the role of Partner Administrators. Both Partner Administrators and Partner Users, collectively referred to as “Partner Users,” have the capability to incorporate Rho Users into the Partner Account and to access data from the Rho Accounts of these Rho Users.
Rho authorizes the Company to access the Portal exclusively for the Rho Accounts of those Rho Users who have explicitly consented to the Partner's access to their Rho Account. This access is limited solely to the accounts of consenting Rho Users. The Partner represents that it has the authorization from such Rho Users to act on behalf of their business through the Platform. The Partner acknowledges and consents to the possibility of Rho Users requesting information from Rho pertaining to your use of the Platform.
It is incumbent upon the Partner to periodically review the permissions of Partner Users to ensure that access to the Partner Account is limited to duly authorized individuals. Should the Partner find itself unable to revoke a Partner User's access to the Partner Account, it must reach out to Rho to facilitate the revocation of such access. While Rho may conduct reviews of Partner User activities for compliance verification, it is under no obligation to undertake such reviews.
- Partner Services
Subject to Partner’s compliance with this Rho Portal Agreement, Rho will provide Partner with the Partner Services below. Rho reserves the right to change, modify, or terminate any of the Partner Services at any time with or without notice.
- Access to the Portal to manage and track authorized Rho Accounts;
- Refer new New Rho Customer (defined below);
- View and manage other Partner User(s) that have access to and use of the Partner Account;

- Partner is responsible for all actions taken under the Partner Account
Partner is responsible for all actions and transactions taken under or through the Partner Account, regardless of whether Partner knew of such actions (“Authorized Actions”). Authorized Actions may include but are not limited to (a) actions taken by a Partner User and (b) actions or transactions that a Partner User directs Rho to take on Partner’s behalf whether orally (e.g., over the phone to one of our team members) or in writing.
Partner accepts all risks of unauthorized use of the Partner Account. Partners must immediately notify Rho if Partner believes that the Partner Account, any of the Partner User Roles or Partner User log-in credentials have been compromised. Rho may suspend the Partner Account and/or any Rho User Rho Accounts, including all Partner User access to the Partner Account, if Rho has reason to believe that the Partner Account or any of Partner User's log-in credentials have been compromised.
Partner agrees not to grant Partner Account access to, or disclose any Partner User log-in credentials to, Prohibited Third Parties. A “Prohibited Third Party” is a third party that seeks to access or accesses the Partner Services or the Platform using a Partner User Role or a Partner User’s log-in credentials, in order to harvest, crawl, or scrape information from the Platform or Services without Rho’s express written authorization.
By accessing the Portal, you acknowledge and agree to comply with the access restrictions and limitations associated with your Portal access or user role.

Partners may also participate in Rho’s Partner incentive program designed to reward Partners that refer New Rho Customers to Rho through the Portal with an Incentive (the “Referral Partner Program”). Partners participating in the Referral Partner Program are referred to as a “Referral Partner”.
SUPERSEDING PRIOR AGREEMENTS
THIS REFERRAL PARTNER PROGRAM HEREBY SUPERSEDES AND REPLACES ANY AND ALL PRIOR REFERRAL PARTNER AGREEMENTS OR ARRANGEMENTS PREVIOUSLY ENTERED INTO BETWEEN THE REFERRAL PARTNER AND RHO, EXCEPT FOR ANY EXISTING STATEMENTS OF WORK, WHICH SHALL REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT UNLESS OTHERWISE AGREED TO BY THE PARTIES IN WRITING.
REFERRAL PARTNERS WHO HAVE PREVIOUSLY ENTERED INTO A REFERRAL PARTNER AGREEMENT WITH RHO ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT THE TERMS OF THIS REFERRAL PARTNER AGREEMENT SHALL REPLACE AND SUPERSEDE THE TERMS OF ANY SUCH PRIOR AGREEMENT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED ABOVE WITH RESPECT TO EXISTING STATEMENTS OF WORK. IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THE TERMS OF THIS REFERRAL PARTNER AGREEMENT AND ANY PRIOR REFERRAL PARTNER AGREEMENT, THE TERMS OF THIS REFERRAL PARTNER AGREEMENT SHALL PREVAIL.

For the purposes of this Referral Partner Program, an entity may only be counted as a New Rho Customer once, even if such entity is referred by the Referral Partner to Rho through more than one of the referral methods as described below.
Referral” means a company, that is a New Rho Customer, that Referral Partner refers to the Rho Service via Referral Partner’s Landing Page or as otherwise described herein.
A Referral Partner will only receive credit for an Activated Referral as described in this section and a duly executed Statement of Work to be agreed upon and executed separately by both parties (the “Statement of Work”).
Fees for Referrals earned in one of the following two ways: (a) the Referral initiates and completes the creation of an account on the Rho Service through the Landing Page, or during a single session on the Rho Service that was initiated at the Landing Page, or (b) Referral Partner identifies a Referral in writing to Rho, such Referral has created an account on the Rho Service within the 10 prior days of such notice to Rho or creates an account on the Rho Service within 60 days of such notice to Rho, and Rho approves the Referral in writing. In the case of a Referral submitted through the process described in subsection (b), Rho reserves the right to accept or reject any such Referral in its sole discretion. For the avoidance of any doubt, regardless of the manner in which a Referral was submitted, the Referral Partner will only be entitled to receive credit under this Referral Partner Program for an Activated Referral.
Referral Partner will: (a) not make any representations or warranties , guarantees, indemnities, similar claims, or other commitments concerning the Rho Service other than as set forth in printed marketing collateral or documentation furnished by Rho to Referral Partner; (b) comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations, and not engage in any deceptive, misleading, illegal, or unethical practices (including without limitation, as required by the CAN-SPAM Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 7701 et seq., and applicable state laws regarding commercial emails); and (c) conduct business in a manner that reflects favorably at all times on the good name, goodwill, and reputation of the Rho Service. Referral Partner understands that it does not have authority to make or accept any offers or make any representations on behalf of Rho. Referral Partner may not make any statement, whether on Referral Partner’s website or otherwise, that would be considered in contradiction to information contained in the Agreement or Rho Portal Agreement.
This Rho Portal Agreement does not grant exclusive rights to the Referral Partner to act as referrer on behalf of Rho and the Referral Partner shall have no rights under any other agreements entered into by the Company with other Referral Partners. The Referral Partner agrees not to promote any competitive product to the Rho Service; In the event that any such competitive product is marketed the Rho Service shall be clearly labeled and identified as the preferred product. For purposes of this Referral Partner Program, a competitive product is defined as a third-party product which provides access to any deposit product, treasury product, debit product, credit card, expense management solution, accounts payable solution, or any other product offered by Rho.
The Referral Partner will inform and educate its organization about the nature of the business relationship between the parties and Rho’s product and services, including but not limited to, Rho speaking with the Referral Partner’s relevant employees to further their knowledge and understanding of the Rho offering. Rho will afford the Referral Partner reciprocal processes in return.
Rho agrees to compensate the Referral Partner with a referral fee, the specifics of which will be detailed in a Statement of Work (the “Referral Fee”). For the avoidance of doubt, the calculation of the Referral Fee will be calculated separately for each individual Activated Referral based on the Referral Fee in effect at the time the Referral was made. Rho may update the Referral Fees from time to time at Rho’s sole discretion by providing 30 days’ notice to Referral Partner and any updated Referral Fees will apply to any Referrals made after the date on which the update goes into effect. Referral Fees may be paused or reduced, in good faith, in Rho’s sole discretion, in the event one or more Activated Referrals become materially delinquent in their credit card payments to Rho. The attribution period for each Activated Referral will commence at the date when the Referral becomes an Activated Referral. If more than one Referral Partner is involved in the solicitation of a Referral, Rho, in its sole discretion, will decide the entity to which the Referral Fee will be paid or may split the commission between or among the entities involved.
At the end of each quarter, Rho will provide Referral Partner with the total number of Referrals attributable to Referral Partner in the preceding quarter. Rho will remit the Referral Fees owed for such period, if any, to Referral Partner within thirty (30) calendar days of the end of the preceding quarter subject to a minimum payment of $5 per quarter. If the Referral Fee in any quarter does not meet or exceed $5, the amount will carry over to the next quarter.
The Referral Partner Program will commence upon the effective date of a duly executed Statement of Work and continue for one (1) year (the “Initial Term”), unless earlier terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Rho Portal Agreement, and will automatically renew for additional one (1) year terms (each a “Renewal Term” and together with the Initial Term, the “Term”) unless either party gives written notice of non-renewal prior to the expiration of the then-current term.
Either party may terminate this Referral Partner Program for convenience immediately upon prior written notice to the other party.
Except as expressly required by law, if either party terminates this Referral Partner Program in accordance with any of the provisions of this Rho Portal Agreement or the Agreement, neither party will be liable to the other, because of such termination, for expenditures or commitments made in connection with this Rho Portal Agreement or the Agreement or damages caused by the loss of prospective profits or anticipated sales. Termination will not, however, relieve either party of obligations incurred prior to the effective date of the termination. Upon termination, Rho will only be responsible for paying the Referral Fee for Referrals received as of the effective date of the termination.
