Common use of Consumer Authorization Clause in Contracts

Consumer Authorization. You must obtain the consumer’s authorization prior to initiating a WEB Entry. The authorization must conform to the requirements of the Rules and must provide evidence of the customer’s identity and assent to the authorization. You must satisfy the authorization requirement either by (1) obtaining written authorization from the Receiver via the Internet or a Wireless Network; or (2) obtaining the Receiver’s authorization in any manner permissible under Rule 2.3.2 (Authorizations and Notices with Respect to Consumer Accounts, as amended), with the Receiver’s instruction for the initiation of the individual debit entry being communicated (but not by oral communication) to you via a Wireless Network. Consumers must be able to read the authorization language displayed on any computer screen, mobile device or other visual display. Consumers should be prompted to print the authorization or otherwise retain a copy. You must provide a copy of the authorization to the customer upon request. Only customers may authorize WEB Entries; a third party service provider may not do so on behalf of the customer.
