A business day is defined as Monday through Friday, except for legal holidays. You are responsible for ensuring that you have adequate available credit for Card Payments or that the funds are available in your bank account for Bank Payments. You are solely responsible for any fees (including late, overdraft, return or over limit fees) charged by your card issuer, your bank or the Payee. You give Wave the right to resubmit any returned or invalid payments you have authorized and to re-originate the Payment. When you schedule a payment, you should allow sufficient time for the Payee to receive the Payment by its due date, which will be two (2) to three (3) business days after the Payee has accepted the Payment.
