Authentication and authorization for service usage
- This Service incorporates commercially reasonable methods to authenticate the information that you have supplied for making a payment through this Service. You will not be able to submit a payment until the Service authenticates you based on as validated e-mail address as login and password created by the user . In addition, you will not be allowed to use the Service to pay your NCFC premium until you have read these Terms and Conditions and have acknowledged doing so by clicking the "I Accept" button at the bottom of this page.
- As the user of the Service, and upon your acceptance of these Terms and Conditions, you will have submitted your banking account or credit card account (your "Designated Account") information. You are responsible for any legal, regulatory, or banking penalties and fees that may be assessed for supplying false information to us for use with the Service.
- The Service may be used for payment on both personal and commercial accounts.
- If the Designated Account is a bank or credit card account for your Business, then it must be one for which you are a properly authorized signer.
- By accepting these Terms and Conditions you authorize NCFC, through the Service, to initiate a charge to your Designated Account according to your instructions. Each time you use the Service to pay NCFC, you will be reauthorizing us to charge your Designated Account.
- By accepting these Terms and Conditions, you represent and warrant that:
- You are 18 years old or older
- You are using your actual identity and any information you provide is accurate and complete;
- You are legally authorized to make payments using your Designated Account;
- You will indemnify, defend, and hold NCFC harmless from all claims arising from your misuse, improper or fraudulent use of the Service;

NCFC payment service
By providing NCFC with the account information for your Designated Account, you authorize us to follow the payment instructions we receive from you through the Service. When you use this Service to send us a payment instruction you authorize NCFC to initiate a message to your bank or credit card provider to charge your Designated Account, and to send those funds to us for payment on your NCFC account so that we receive the funds as close as reasonably possible to the date indicated by you in the payment instruction.
If your payment is received after the due date of the bill, regardless of any cause except for our failure to reasonably process your explicit payment instruction actually received by us, then you will remain responsible for any late charges and interest assessed, the same as if you mailed your payment to us and we received it after the due date. This would be true even if you are unable to access the system due to problems with the Internet, or our servers being temporarily unavailable. Therefore, we recommend that you instruct the Service to initiate each payment to us at least four (4) business days before the actual due date. (Business days are Monday through Friday, except for federal banking holidays).
If you use the Service to send us your payment instructions after 2:00 P.M. (Atlantic Standard Time Zone) on a business day, then the Service will treat your instruction as if it was received on the following day. The date we receive payment from you, not the date we receive your instructions, determines whether your payment was timely received.
Any payments that you authorize, from either your credit card or bank account, where funds are not available will result in no payment being applied to your NCFC account. You will be liable for any fees associated with the payment attempt. If two such payment authorizations resulting in nonsufficient funds occur within a twelve month period your NCFCpay account may be deactivated and you will need to use other means to pay your NCFC Bill. In addition, payments returned due to insufficient funds are subject to return check fees and late payment penalties. Acceptance of a payment does not ensure that policies cancelled for non-payment will be reinstated. Contact NCFC Customer Services at 787-281-1939 with any questions.
