    • Each invoice is made available to the applicable Care Seeker through the Site and an email with the invoice will be sent to the Care Seeker for review.

    • Upon Debt Quest USA LLC’s receipt of (i) approval of the invoice from Care Seeker, (ii) credit card information to pay the invoice from Care Seeker and (iii) authorization from Care Seeker for Debt Quest USA LLC or its service provider to charge their credit card for the invoiced payment amount, then Debt Quest USA LLC, or a third party service provider, will (i) charge the Care Seeker’s credit card for the approved amount and (ii) deposit the amount charged less the applicable Debt Quest USA LLC fee into a Debt Quest USA LLC account.
    • Care Provider’s funds will be scheduled to be automatically deposited into Care Provider’s bank account according to the bank details provided by Care Provider, if the Care Seeker payment is made before 2:00pm Pacific Time. If the payment is made after 2:00pm Pacific Time then the funds will be scheduled to deposited into the Care Provider bank account on the following business day.

The Care Seeker has a review period of 4 days after invoice submission date to review and reject each Invoice submitted by their Care Provider.
