Online Website Agreement and Authorization for Payments
The Owensboro Health Regional Hospital Web Site (the "Service") is an on-line bill viewing and payment service provided by Owensboro Health Regional Hospital and its licensors, including RevSpring, Inc. (collectively, "Licensors").
Please read this Agreement carefully before accessing or using the Service. By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions below. If you do not accept the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you may not access or use the Service. Owensboro Health Regional Hospital may modify this Agreement from time to time, and such modifications shall be effective immediately upon posting of the modified Agreement. By continuing to access or use the Service following such modifications, you agree to be bound by the modified Agreement. Owensboro Health Regional Hospital has no obligation to notify users of the posting of a modified Agreement.
Payment Services. By accessing the Service, you authorize Owensboro Health Regional Hospital (1) to establish and maintain your payment authorizations and (2) to process your payments according to your instructions.
Types of Payments and Payees. You may use the Service only to authorize the payment of bills owing to Owensboro Health Regional Hospital. Payments that you authorize will be made from a bank or financial institution account (the "Transaction Account") that you designate. It is your responsibility to establish and maintain the Transaction Account and to pay any and all fees associated with the Transaction Account.
Timing. By providing Owensboro Health Regional Hospital with a payment authorization under the Service, you authorize Owensboro Health Regional Hospital to charge the Transaction Account to remit funds on your behalf to pay your bills owed to Owensboro Health Regional Hospital. It is your responsibility to make timely payment authorizations, so that the funds will arrive at Owensboro Health Regional Hospital before the date on which they are due. You should submit all payment authorizations to Owensboro Health Regional Hospital at least three (3) business days before the actual due date for the bills (not the late date). A "business day" means any day other than Saturday, Sunday, a federal holiday, or any other day on which banks in the United States are not generally open for business. You shall bear the risk and the responsibility for paying any late charges or penalties resulting from the late receipt of any payment made under the Service; provided, however that Owensboro Health Regional Hospital agrees to waive late charges and penalties resulting from late receipt of payment, in the event that your payment authorization was made more than (3) business days before the actual due date and the payment is late solely due to Owensboro Health Regional Hospital's failure to promptly process your payment authorization.
Responsibility of Owensboro Health Regional Hospital. Owensboro Health Regional Hospital will use all reasonable efforts to process all your payment authorizations promptly and properly, provided the authorizations are actually received by Owensboro Health Regional Hospital. Owensboro Health Regional Hospital will not be responsible for any failure to process a payment authorization that is not actually and completely received by Owensboro Health Regional Hospital for any reason, including user error, equipment malfunction, natural disasters or impediments, or inaccurate or incomplete information.
If Owensboro Health Regional Hospital does not process a payment request on time or in the correct amount, Owensboro Health Regional Hospital will be liable for your losses, but in no event shall Owensboro Health Regional Hospital's liability exceed the amount of the affected payment authorization. However, Owensboro Health Regional Hospital shall incur no liability fees if it is unable to complete a payment authorization initiated by you because of the existence of any one or more of the following circumstances:
Bank or Financial Institution Limitations. In using the Service, you are requesting Owensboro Health Regional Hospital to make payments for you from your designated Transaction Account. If your bank or financial institution is unable to process a transaction (for example, there are not sufficient funds in the Transaction Account to cover the transaction, or if funds in the account are unavailable for any reason), the transaction may not be completed. There may be limits or restrictions upon the number or frequency of payments that may be made from your Transaction Account under applicable law or under the terms of your agreement with the bank or financial institution maintaining the Transaction Account. Owensboro Health Regional Hospital's obligations under the Service are subject to any such limits or restrictions, and Owensboro Health Regional Hospital has no duty to notify you of any such limits or restrictions.
Charges. As a customer of the Service, you will not be charged by Owensboro Health Regional Hospital for payment authorizations that you choose to send electronically.

IN NO EVENT SHALL OWENSBORO HEALTH REGIONAL HOSPITAL OR ANY LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE DELIVERY, PERFORMANCE, OR USE OF THE SERVICE, WHETHER INCURRED BY YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY, EVEN IF OWENSBORO HEALTH REGIONAL HOSPITAL OR ITS LICENSORS OR SUPPLIERS HAVE BEEN ADVISED OR MAY OTHERWISE KNOW OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
