1. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to maintain your Account balance at or above the required minimum balance at all times. If you fail to keep the required minimum balance of pre-paid tolls in your Account, you agree that we may deactivate your Transponder and/or suspend or close your Account and that any further use of the 91 Express Lanes or other use of your Transponder after such deactivation or Account suspension or closure will be treated as a toll evasion violation, subject to all applicable fees and fines and enforcement (including the placement of a DMV registration hold) as established by OCTA, RCTC, the State of California, or any other toll facility you use.
2.

These recurring charges will continue until you notify us in writing that you wish to terminate this Agreement.

6. You acknowledge that if you do not comply with one or more of your responsibilities under this Agreement, OCTA and/or RCTC will incur costs to secure your compliance.

3. You agree to mount your Transponder according to the instructions provided to you and to ensure that your Transponder is in good working order. You acknowledge that sticker Transponders can only be used on one vehicle and that removing the Transponder will damage it and require you to purchase a new Transponder. If you drive on the 91 Express Lanes without a properly mounted Transponder in good working order or your Transponder is not read for any other reason, we may use your license plate number to bill your Account. If the license plate number is not active on your Account at the time of travel, or if your Account is not in good standing, you may receive a toll evasion violation or a citation by the CHP. You agree that we may charge you an additional processing fee.
4. If your Transponder fails to operate for reasons other than abuse or improper use, return it to us and we’ll replace it at no charge within one year of purchase for a sticker Transponder and five years of purchase for a switchable Transponder.

5. If you sell a vehicle or if your Transponder is lost or stolen, notify us immediately and you will not be liable for any unauthorized use of your Transponder that occurs after such notification.

If you are driving a vehicle with a license plate that is not active and listed on your Account at the time of travel, if your Transponder is not read for any reason, or if you do not have sufficient funds in your Account to cover a toll (including an inability to charge a toll because your credit card or bank information has not been updated), you may receive a toll evasion violation with penalties up to $100. Toll evasion violations are sent to the address on file with the DMV for a license plate and are not included on your Account statements. You are responsible for keeping the DMV informed of your address and for monitoring mail sent to that address for possible toll evasion violations. Toll evasion violations are enforceable even if you never receive or read the notice, so long as they are sent to the address on file with the DMV. You consent to the provision of information regarding your Account and toll road facility usage to the DMV.

You may use your Transponder on any other California toll facility that allows payment of tolls via FasTrak. To make such use as seamless as possible, OCTA and RCTC share, among other things, Transponder identification numbers, account numbers, and the license plate numbers of vehicles listed on valid Accounts with the other toll facility operators in California. When you use your Transponder on another toll facility, the operator of that other toll facility will send us information about your transaction so that we can include the transaction on your Account statement. The information sent to us includes, but is not limited to, your Transponder identification number, your account number, your license plate number, the toll amount and/or other charges, and the date, time and location of the toll transaction.

If you use your Transponder on another toll facility that accepts FasTrak as a method of payment, you agree that we may charge you for any tolls, fines and/or other charges arising from such use, and that you will be responsible to us or the other toll facility operator for such tolls and/or other charges. Tolls and other charges owed in this manner will be charged to your Account in accordance with rules, regulations and procedures of the facility on which the transaction was recorded. You agree that we may provide the other toll facility operator with any information contained in this Agreement or any other information associated with your Account for purposes of collecting tolls, fines and/or other charges, and that other toll facility operators may provide us with details of your usage of their facilities so that toll transactions can be included on your Account statement. If you fail to maintain your Account in good standing or to update your vehicle license plate(s) with us, you will be subject to toll evasion penalties and other charges as established by the other toll facilities you use.

Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time by giving written notice to the other party. If we request or if you elect to terminate this Agreement, we’ll refund (without interest) your Account balance, less any amounts you owe us. Cash/check customer refunds will be made by check (no cash refunds) and mailed approximately thirty-five (35) days from receipt of termination notice. Credit card customer refunds will be processed as a credit toward the credit card on file approximately thirty-five (35) days from receipt of termination notice. If your Account balance isn’t sufficient to pay all amounts you owe us, you will remain liable for such amounts, and may become liable for attorneys’ fees, service charges, fines and penalties in accordance with applicable law if such unpaid charges are not promptly paid. Unless requested, the 91 Express Lanes will not issue refunds for balances of $1.00 or less.

We have the right to change the terms of this Agreement and our policies, deposits, minimum Account balances and other terms and conditions at any time. Notice of changes may be provided to you with your Transponder, by email sent to the email address you provided for your Account, or by first class mail to the address listed on your Account. We will provide such notice at least thirty (30) days before the change goes into effect. All such changes will be effective and binding on you unless you terminate your Account prior to the effective date of the change(s). Toll schedules are subject to change without notice. By using the 91 Express Lanes, you agree to pay tolls posted on the variable message signs.
