Terms of Service – MyCase Smart Spend
Smart Spend Platform Agreement
Last Updated: March 2025
This Smart Spend Platform Agreement (this “Agreement”), together with the MyCase Terms of Service and the AffiniPay Terms of Service (together, the “Master Terms”), form a binding agreement that governs your access and use of: (i) our SaaS-based Smart Spend Platform (defined below) and related Smart Spend Services; (ii) the LawPay Visa® Business Card issued to you pursuant to the Cardholder Agreement, if we have approved your application to open one or more Card accounts; and (iii) any Smart Spend Services related to your use of any Card. Some Smart Spend Services may be delivered or supported by MyCase Affiliates, Third-Party Service Providers and/or the Issuer and may require your or your officer’s agreement to additional terms, including the Cardholder Agreement.
This Agreement does not replace the Customer Cardholder Agreement, which is a separate agreement with the Issuer and remains applicable to your use of any Card. We may change this Agreement on thirty (30) days’ written notice, provided either to the email address on file or through the Spend Management Dashboard; and shall make commercially reasonable efforts to Notify you in advance of any material changes to Services.
You may only apply for, open and maintain a Card Account and use the Services if you accept this Agreement.
Capitalized terms are as defined in Section 14 of this Agreement, or, if not defined in this Agreement, have the definitions provided in the Master Terms.
1.1 The Smart Spend Platform and Services
1.1 The Smart Spend Services
The “Smart Spend Platform” is a SaaS-based spend management module that is available through your MyCase account. Through the Smart Spend Platform, business owners may apply for, obtain and manage Cards for you and your Authorized Users, connect to the Smart Spend Services, and enable Authorized Users to incur Charges, including purchasing products and services for the benefit of your business. Through the Smart Spend Platform, Administrators can view and manage their Card Account, including requesting Cards, setting custom spend controls (Administrators only), and viewing Statements and Credit Limits, spending trends and insights, and all Charges made by all Cards on the Card Account. Through the Smart Spend Services, Authorized Users view their individual Charges, upload receipts, and allocate Charges to specific client cases within MyCase as expenses.
We may update the Services as our products and business evolve, but we will make commercially reasonable efforts to Notify you if an update is likely to result in a material limitation in functionality or your access to any Services. The Smart Spend Services may include the ability to provision a Card within an Administrator’s or Authorized User’s digital wallet. Such digital wallet features are subject at all times to applicable Third-Party Service terms and conditions and may be suspended or terminated at the discretion of the applicable Third-Party Service Provider.
1.2 The LawPay Visa ® Business Card
To be issued a Card, you must first apply for it through the Smart Spend Platform, where you must provide certain Customer Data and certain Personal Data, as requested, and will be able to connect one or more Connected Accounts. As a condition to using the Smart Spend Services and the Card, you must agree to the Cardholder Agreement, and you must ensure that each Authorized User is presented with and agrees to the terms of this Agreement. A failure to comply with the Cardholder Agreement is a breach of this Agreement. The Smart Spend Services and Card are designed for business use, and some consumer protection laws and rules (like those in the Electronic Funds Transfer Act or Regulation E, and NACHA rules for consumers) are inapplicable to Charges on your Card or to how you use the Smart Spend Services.
1.3 Eligibility Requirements
Only legal entities organized, registered, and doing business within the United States (such as LLPs, LPs, C-corps, S-corps, sole proprietorships, and the like) may apply for a Card and use the Smart Spend Services. Entities registered outside the United States, as well as consumers (e.g., individual natural persons), households, and unregistered entities, are not permitted to use, or attempt to open or use, a Card.
2. Applying for a LawPay Visa ® Business Card
2.1 Application Process
You may apply for a Card through the Smart Spend Platform connected to your MyCase account. You must provide all information we request in connection with the application or your Card Account, which may include Customer Data and Personal Data. We provide Card application information to the Issuer and Third-Party Service Providers, and each or all of us may use it to determine your eligibility for Services and Cards, to comply with applicable law, and to maintain your Card account. We may also request information from credit reporting agencies using Customer Data and Personal Data and may report the performance of your account to one or more credit reporting agencies. To use certain Services or features, you might need to allow us to access your Customer Data and Personal Data through Third-Party Services. Additionally, when you request more features or Services, we might ask for more information and documentation that we, our Third-Party Service Providers, or the Issuer may need for compliance, underwriting, and review. MyCase may, but is not required to, use Customer information on file while reviewing your Card application. You must specify at least one Administrator to manage your MyCase Account when submitting your Card application.
2.2 Compliance
Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and maintain information that identifies each person (individual or business) who opens a Card Account, including “Know-Your-Customer” and other information used to detect and avoid criminal activities. This means that we will ask for the name, address, date of birth, and other personal information to identify you and the owners and control persons for your business, along with documentary information used to verify such information, such as corporate registration certificate, proof of address, or personal identification. We may also ask you for corporate information, financial information, the nature of your business or practice, and other information we may request in our discretion. In addition to the foregoing, you acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for complying with applicable law and all applicable provisions of the Network Rules, and for ensuring all Administrators and Authorized Users so comply. Where we reasonably suspect a breach of this section by you or one of your Authorized Users, or where required by an Issuer or Third-Party Service Provider, we may audit your records, Card Account, and applicable files related to your use of any Card or the Smart Spend Services. You will keep, maintain, and make available such books, records and files upon our written request (email to suffice). We may limit, suspend or terminate access to the Smart Spend Services or one or more Cards if we believe in our sole discretion that this section was violated, if there is a change in applicable law or Network Rules, or if required by an Issuer or government authority.
2.3 Approval
MyCase, the Issuer, and Third-Party Service Providers have the right to approve or deny your Card application. You will be able to check the status of your application on the Smart Spend Platform while it is under review. MyCase, Issuers and Third-Party Service Providers rely on the accuracy of all application data and any other Customer Data provided by you or on your behalf in connection with your use of the Cards or the Smart Spend Services. We may deny any application, suspend your access to the Smart Spend Services, or suspend or close your Card Account in our sole discretion, including if your data is incomplete, inaccurate, outdated, or if directed by the Issuer. You represent and warrant that you will only provide accurate information during the application process, and that you will update all provided information as needed to keep your Card Account accurate and up to date. If any changes occur, update your Card Account promptly, or contact us if you need assistance doing so.
2.4 Credit Limits
Credit Limits are set by the Issuer in accordance with the Cardholder Agreement. Subject to Issuer requirements, you may set Card-level spending limits within the Smart Spend Platform, both with respect to dollar amount and categories of Charges allowed. We may use Customer Data and other data available to MyCase and the Issuer, including MyCase account history, available funds, spending patterns, banking patterns, volumes, financial projections, the nature and history of Customer’s business, and anticipated use of the Card. Credit Limits are subject to change in accordance with the Cardholder Agreement. MyCase will make commercially reasonable efforts to provide Notice of any Credit Limit reduction, subject at all times to the Cardholder Agreement. You may view your Credit Limit and spending limits at any time within the Smart Spend Platform.
3. Fees
Some Smart Spend Services and related activities are subject to certain non-refundable Fees, including transaction fees, which will disclose in the Cardholder Agreement and/or the Smart Spend Platform. Disclosure of Fees may be provided in the Cardholder Agreement, the Smart Spend Platform, by Notice or prior to affirmative agreement through the Services. We may update, add, or change Fees upon 30 days’ Notice to you, though we may not provide similar Notice if we reduce fees. The Fees set out in this Agreement do not include applicable sales, use, excise, gross receipts, value-added, GST or HST, personal property or other taxes.
4. Using and Managing the Smart Spend Services and the Cards
4.1 Administrators and Authorized Users
When applying for a Card, the individual submitting the application must be Customer’s owner and will automatically be the Administrator for your Card Account. Administrators can perform various tasks, including:
Adding, removing, or managing other Administrators and Authorized Users
Requesting and managing Cards
Requesting a higher Credit Limit or spending limit
Setting or changing spending limits for Authorized Users and Cards
Viewing Charge history and statements
Running reports
Providing or updating Customer Data and Personal Data
Connecting Connected Accounts, Third-Party Services, and other accounts to your Card Account
Performing other tasks on behalf of the Customer
Customer Administrators will designate Authorized Users so that they may use the Cards and Smart Spend Services. You must ensure that each Authorized User only uses the Services through their assigned account and does not share their access credentials. You are responsible for verifying and authenticating all Authorized Users and maintaining control over the use of Cards, as well as ensuring Authorized Users are notified of and comply with your corporate expense and spend management policies. If a Card Account or Card is compromised, you must immediately disable access (which you may do through the Lock Card function, or by calling the number on the back of the Card) and notify MyCase. You are responsible for any Losses caused by Authorized Users or others with access to your accounts or Cards.
You are responsible for any acts or omissions of Administrators, Authorized Users, and those using credentials issued to Administrators or Authorized Users to access a Card or a Card Account, including any unauthorized Charges, incorrect payee information, and any failure to comply with this Agreement, the Cardholder Agreement, and/or applicable law. All potential Authorized Users will be required to accept User Terms in order to become Authorized Users, and all Authorized Users that are authorized to use Cards may also be required to accept terms presented by MyCase and/or the Issuer.
4.2 Using Cards
Cards may only be used for bona fide business-related Charges. You are responsible for selecting who in your organization has access to Cards. You must implement and maintain reasonable controls to ensure that the Cards are only used for authorized business purposes and in compliance with Network Rules. MyCase, the Issuer, and Third-Party Services Providers shall not be liable for any Charges made by any individuals given access to Cards, even if they are not the person named on the Card or a Customer employee. MyCase, Issuers, Payment Networks, or Third-Party Service Providers (including merchant acquirers) may deny or reverse Charges if we reasonably suspect fraud or a breach of this Agreement. We are not liable for any losses, damages, or other harms resulting from denied or reversed Charges. While Administrators can set Card-level spending limits, the combined spending for all Authorized Users cannot exceed the Credit Limit for your Account or any new Charges on any Card associated with your Card Account will be denied until total spending on the Card Account is below the Credit Limit.
4.3 Disputed Charges
You must attempt to resolve any disputes you may have with a merchant directly with such merchant. If you are unable to resolve a merchant dispute that relates to a Charge, you may submit a Chargeback request by calling the number on the back of your Card. Chargeback requests may be subject to deadlines as set forth in the Network Rules.
You acknowledge that Issuer and MyCase are subject to the Network Rules with respect to Chargebacks and may not be able to successfully reverse the Charge. If you believe a Charge was unauthorized or there was an error on your Statement, you agree to immediately call the number on the back of your Card or, if the Card is not available, send an email to lawpaycard@support.lawpay.com.
Chargeback requests may require you to provide additional information, including the identity of the Authorized User or Cardholder, why you believe that the Charge was made in error or was unauthorized, and any other relevant information about the Charge. MyCase, the Issuer or Third-Party Service Providers will review this information and, if we determine that a dispute is valid, we will credit the disputed Charge amount back to your Card Account.
In accordance with the Cardholder Agreement, you hereby assign and transfer to the Issuer any rights and claims against the associated merchant subject to any credited Charge, excluding tort claims, and you will cooperate with the Issuer with respect and agree not to pursue any claim against the merchant for the credited amount.
4.4 Account Security and Data
You must keep your MyCase Account secure at all times, maintaining reasonable security controls and only giving access to individuals that you have authorized. If you suspect your Card Account has been compromised or misused, you shall immediately disable the relevant Authorized User access and notify us through the Smart Spend Platform or our support team.
You acknowledge and agree that MyCase, the Issuer, and Payment Networks may collect, process and share Customer Data and Personal Data related to your use of Cards, the Smart Spend Services, and Third-Party Services. We may use and disclose this data (including transaction and application data) for:
identity verification and KYC compliance, underwriting, setting Credit Limits and Card-level spending limits, fraud and loss prevention, and related reporting;
Providing, maintaining, and improving Services, which may include generating internal reporting and analysis about your use of the Smart Spend Services;
Compliance with legal obligations, Issuer directives, or Payment Network rules;
Reporting performance to credit agencies, when appropriate; and
Enforcing and protecting our rights, including during dispute resolution.
When sharing Customer Data or Personal Data with subcontractors, we will comply with our Privacy Policy and follow industry standard measures to protect it from loss or accidental disclosure. We may also create, use and disclose de-identified Customer Data or Personal Data to improve products and services (such as improving reporting available to you within your Card Account), to market our services, and to generate and maintain internal and external reports.
Customer Personal Data, including Authorized Users’ data, will be handled according to our Privacy Policy, the Master Terms, and applicable laws. You are responsible for obtaining consent from your Administrators and Authorized Users to enable MyCase and Issuer to collect, use, retain, and disclose Personal Data, and for ensuring that Authorized Users have read and agreed to our Privacy Policy.
4.5 Lost or Stolen Cards
If your Card is lost, stolen, or compromised, you agree to notify us immediately and take steps to prevent unauthorized transactions. Administrators can request replacement Cards through the Smart Spend Platform.
You will not provide Card or Card Account access to any individuals that you have not authorized and will take reasonable steps to maintain the security of your Card Account. If you believe or reasonably suspect your Card or Account has been compromised, stolen, or misused, you agree to immediately disable Authorized User access to the Card(s) in question, and you will promptly notify us by calling the number on the back of your Card. You are and remain liable for any employee abuse, unauthorized Charges, and any other financial losses caused by Administrators, Authorized Users, or other persons given access to a Card, Card Account, or Smart Spend Services (whether authorized or not), except as provided by Network Rules. We may also suspend cards if we suspect unauthorized or fraudulent use.
4.6 Requirements and Prohibited Activities
The Smart Spend Services and Cards are only offered to approved business Customers. You shall not, and shall not permit any other entity or person to: (a) use the MyCase Account, Cards, or Services for (i) any expenses other than Customer’s or a Customer Affiliates’ bona fide business expenses, and may not be used (ii) any purpose that is unlawful or prohibited by the Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 5 of the AffiniPay Terms of Service or Article II), the Cardholder Agreement, or any Network Rules, (iii) any personal, family, or household use, or (iv) any activities not for the benefit of the Customer or a Customer Affiliate; (v) payment of wages, benefits, or related compensation to employees or individual contractors; (vi) by or for unaffiliated third parties or by MyCase competitors; (b) provide, provide access to, or use for the benefit of an individual, organization, or country that is blocked or sanctioned by the United States — including those identified by the United States Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) — the MyCase Account, Cards or Services; (c) permit use of the MyCase Account, Cards, or Services by unaffiliated third parties; (d) use any Card or the Smart Spend Services in connection with any Prohibited Business as identified here from time to time; or (e) for any other acts or omissions that are reasonably likely to harm MyCase, Third-Party Service Providers, the Issuer, or any other MyCase customers (collectively, “Prohibited Activities”).
Prohibited Activities are a material breach of this Agreement. We will not approve and may close Card Accounts that we know or believe are engaged in any Prohibited Activities.
In addition to the foregoing, Customer is responsible for ensuring that all Administrators, Authorized Users, and any other individual or entity with access to a Card uses such Card only for lawful purposes. We may limit, suspend or terminate access to your MyCase Account or Cards if we believe that this section was violated, if required by an Issuer or government authority, if we suspect you are engaged in fraudulent or illicit activities, if we believe you are creating an undue risk to us or others, or to comply with applicable laws or regulations. You agree to pay all Fines imposed on us or any MyCase Affiliate, officer, employee, agent or representative thereof by Issuers, regulators, Networks, or government agencies in connection with your violation of this section. Such payment is in addition to, and shall not limit your indemnification obligations, and it is not subject to any limitation on liability set forth in the Master Terms. The examples listed above are not exhaustive, and we may modify or update the lists above at any time.
4.7 Electronic Communications
By using the Smart Spend Services or communicating electronically with us, you consent to receive electronic communications, including service updates. You agree that these electronic communications satisfy any legal requirements for written notices.
Beta Limitations
In addition to the beta-related disclaimers on warranties incorporated by reference in Section 13.3(b), you acknowledge and agree that certain features of the Smart Spend Services may not be available to beta Customers. This includes, without limitation, that there will only be one Administrator per Card Account, and that transaction-based spending limits may not yet be available to set and manage.
5. Payments to MyCase
5.1 Monthly Statements and Card Account Payments
You will pay all Charges, Fees, and Fines in full. MyCase will provide Monthly Statements reflecting the amount you owe and will identify Charges, Fees, Fines, or other amounts charged to your Card or otherwise incurred by you, as well as any Payments, refunds, rebates, Chargebacks granted or other credits to the Account. You may set up your Connected Account to be automatically debited for the applicable Monthly Statement balance associated with the Card, or any other amount you designate. Upon receipt of Payment, your dashboard within the Smart Spend Platform will show the new balance. Failure to make Payment in a timely manner may result in suspension or cancellation of your Card and may impact your access to other MyCase products or services. MyCase may, in its discretion, charge any payment method you have provided for any overdue Payment associated with your Card, or we may set off or collect from amounts that you jointly hold with a third party or open in the future with MyCase or its Affiliates. We reserve the right to exercise this right against Customer, its Affiliates, and its assignees. Failing to pay the full amount owed to MyCase is a material breach of this Agreement. You will be liable for any costs we incur while collecting overdue amounts, late payment interest, and legal or collection fees.
5.2 Autopay from a Connected Account
If you have signed up for autopay, your Payments will be subject to the relevant autopay terms set forth in the Cardholder Agreement. If a Payment date falls on weekends or holidays, Payments may be processed on the next business day. Because these are electronic transactions, you acknowledge that these funds may be withdrawn from your account as soon as the transaction dates set forth above, and you will have limited time to report and dispute errors and Chargebacks. If a Payment is declined for Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF) we may attempt to process the charge again within 30 days. You agree to pay an additional fee for each NSF attempt, which will be processed as a separate transaction.
6. Customer Representations and Warranties

In addition to any other rights set forth in this Agreement or the Master Terms, MyCase may, at any time, terminate this Agreement or suspend your access to the Smart Spend Services or Cards, by providing you Notice.

13.3 Visa SavingsEdge Program
Visa SavingsEdge is a Small Business loyalty and discount program offered by Visa U.S.A. Inc. to eligible businesses and their authorized cardholders that hold an eligible Visa Business card. Visa Small Business cardholders can receive savings through two types of discount offers: Instant Coupons and Cashback. With Instant Coupons cardholders may receive a discount at the time of purchase by using an applicable coupon code or link from a participating merchant. A linked card is not required for cardholders to use Instant Coupons. With Cashback offers, cardholders must link (enroll) their eligible card in the program and use their linked card to make qualifying purchases of goods or services pursuant to an active cashback offer provided by a participating merchant, and that transaction must be processed or submitted through the Visa payment system (a “Qualifying Purchase”). Visa may modify, restrict, limit or change the program in any way and at any time. Visa reserves the right at any time to cancel the program. Visa also reserves the right to suspend or cancel any cardholder’s participation in the program. Cardholders will only receive discounts for qualifying purchases that are in full compliance with the terms of the applicable discount offer. Discount offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions. Discount offers may be removed from the program at any time and are subject to availability. Discount offers are also subject to any applicable law or regulation that may restrict or prohibit certain sales. Discounts will not appear on a cardholder’s receipt at the point of sale. For Cashback offers, discounts are provided in the form of credits posted to the cardholder’s applicable Visa Business card account. Please visit www.visasavingsedge.com for complete details on the program, including the program terms and conditions.
