To provide your express consent to these terms and conditions of use, click "I Agree." If there is any part of these terms and conditions of use that you do not agree with, click "I Disagree."

Whenever you use the Customer Portal, you agree to these terms and conditions of use, which we may update from time to time by posting the updated terms on the Credit Acceptance website or by sending you notice of the updated terms and conditions by email or regular mail. By agreeing to the terms and conditions, you are consenting to receive information, disclosures, and notices related to your Customer Portal enrollment electronically or at the email address you have provided. You also agree that we may use the Customer Portal to provide you with any communications or notices related to your Credit Acceptance account, including any annual Privacy Notices or other communications or notices required by law. After agreeing to these terms and conditions of use, you can use the Customer Portal to manage your contact preferences. However, as long as you are enrolled to use the Customer Portal, you may receive Customer Portal-related emails from us, such as in the event you forget your username or password, or when we need to send you a security-related email to protect your privacy. You therefore acknowledge that by using the Customer Portal, unsubscribing from emails will not stop these Portal account or security-related emails. You also acknowledge that if you use the secure payment technology service in the Portal to schedule automatic recurring payments to Credit Acceptance, you will receive emails confirming your recurring payment schedule(s) and any changes you make to your recurring payment schedule(s). You understand that in order to use the secure payment technology, you must consent to receive these notifications via email and that unsubscribing from emails will not stop these recurring payment schedule emails.

If at any time you wish to withdraw your consent to these terms and conditions, stop all use of the Customer Portal and contact us to disenroll your account(s) from the Customer Portal. You can find our contact information on the Contact Us page of our website.

Both parties hereby consent to the jurisdiction of the Michigan Courts and waive any objections as to personal jurisdiction or as to the laying of venue in such Courts due to inconvenient forum or any other basis. This Agreement shall be deemed to have been made in the State of Michigan, United States of America, and shall be interpreted, and the rights and liabilities of the parties hereto determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan, U.S.A., without regard to conflicts of law principles.

 

Severability

 

If any part of these terms and conditions of use is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provisions will be deemed superseded by valid, enforceable provisions that most closely match the intent of the original provisions of this Agreement, and the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in effect.

 

Authorized Third Parties

 

            Non-Credit Acceptance Customers who have been authorized by a customer on an account to obtain account information, make payments, and schedule AutoPay ("Authorized Third Parties") may access the account on which they are authorized through the Customer Portal, provided they have an email address on file with Credit Acceptance. Authorized Third Parties are granted access to the Customer Portal at the discretion of the customer, and Authorized Third Party access to the Customer Portal may be revoked at any time by Credit Acceptance unilaterally or at the request of a customer.

 

Any customer on the account can remove an Authorized Third Party at any time through the Customer Portal or by contacting Credit Acceptance and asking us to remove the Authorized Third Party. If a customer removes an Authorized Third Party from the account, communications with the Third Party will stop and any AutoPay schedule set-up to withdraw funds from the Authorized Third Party's bank account or debit card will be cancelled.
