Aquatic Horizons

Online Payment Portal Terms of Use

Purpose and acceptance

This portal is provided by Aquatic Horizons so customers can locate and pay eligible Aquatic Horizons invoices. By using it, you agree to these terms and confirm that the invoice and payment information you provide is accurate and that you are authorized to use the selected payment method.

Payments and processing costs

Payments are processed by Stripe and recorded in QuickBooks Online. Any processing cost charged to you is displayed before you authorize payment. Bank payments may remain pending while the banking network completes processing. A submitted payment does not alter the underlying invoice, proposal, warranty, or service agreement except to reduce the amount owed after the payment settles.

Permitted use

You may use the portal only for lawful payment of your own or an authorized party’s Aquatic Horizons invoice. Do not attempt to probe, disrupt, automate abusive requests against, or gain unauthorized access to the portal or connected services.

Third-party services

The portal depends on Stripe, Intuit QuickBooks Online, financial institutions, internet providers, and other third parties. Their terms may also apply. Aquatic Horizons may suspend the portal for maintenance, security, provider outages, suspected fraud, or other operational reasons.

Errors, refunds, and disputes

If you believe a payment was submitted in error, contact Aquatic Horizons promptly through our contact page. Refunds, reversals, returned bank payments, and disputes are handled according to the applicable invoice or service agreement and payment-network rules.

Availability and liability

The portal is provided on an as-available basis. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Aquatic Horizons is not responsible for indirect or consequential losses caused by provider outages, network failures, unauthorized use, or information entered incorrectly. Nothing in these terms limits rights that cannot legally be limited.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms as the portal changes. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised terms. Questions may be submitted through our contact page.

Autopay and estimate acceptance

Autopay is optional and applies only to future QuickBooks invoices that match the invoice pattern and maximum amount shown when you enroll, plus the disclosed processing fee. You authorize off-session charges until you cancel through the management link or by contacting Aquatic Horizons. Canceling does not reverse payments already initiated. Estimate acceptance records your name, date, estimate number, and authorization. A successful 50% deposit is recorded in QuickBooks as an unapplied customer payment for later application to the project invoice. Acceptance and payment remain subject to the estimate’s stated scope, pricing, expiration, and other terms.
