In order to process Payments more efficiently and effectively, we may edit or alter payment data or data formats. You certify that any Funding Account you add to your profile or otherwise utilize in connection with the Service is an account from which you are authorized to make payments, and any Payment you make using the Service will debit/charge a Funding Account that you are legally authorized to use. We will use reasonable efforts to complete your Payments properly. However, we shall incur no liability if the Service is unable to complete any Payments initiated by you because of the existence of any one or more of the following circumstances or other reasons identified in this Agreement:
