I agree to be bound by the ACH Rules as defined by the National ACH Association (NACHA). I understand that this authorization is to remain in full force and effect until Company has received written notification from me of its termination at least five (5) business days prior to the payment due date. I further understand that canceling my ACH authorization does not relieve me of the responsibility of paying my account in full, and that if I cancel or revoke this authorization before any remaining debt is paid in full, the Company may take additional actions including legal actions to secure the debt.
