Effective October 31, 2023
This Consumer Account Agreement, as amended or supplemented by the attached disclosures (collectively, this “Agreement”), contains the general terms, conditions, and disclosures that apply to your Lewis & Clark Bank consumer deposit account (the “Account”) and constitutes an agreement between the Bank (as defined below) and you. This Agreement also includes any disclosures or notices we may provide to you related to your Account.
References to the “Bank,” “we,” “us,” or “our” means Lewis & Clark Bank, an Oregon state-chartered bank, and our successors, affiliates, and assignees. References to “you” and “your” means the person that holds the Account, and, as applicable, each person who is provided access to the Account or is an authorized user of the holder of the Account. This Agreement may be supplemented or amended as set forth in Section 5(E) (Changes in Terms and Termination). Bank services and access and use of your Account may be provided to you through the website and/or smart phone application of our service provider, Exhale Financial, Inc., at exhalefi.com (the “Service Provider,” and its website and smart phone application, the “Service Provider Platform”). The Service Provider or its affiliates may offer you additional services through its Service Provider Platform, pursuant and subject to the terms and conditions between you and the Service Provider (the “Services” and such terms and conditions, the “Service Provider Terms”), and such Services are not governed by this Agreement and not offered by Bank. Please see Section 2(E) (Service Provider) for additional information.
By opening or continuing to maintain an Account with us you agree to be bound by this Agreement, and all applicable agreements, disclosures, and other documents, as well as by all applicable federal or state laws, statutes, and regulations. Please keep a copy of this Agreement for your future reference.
We may decline to open an Account for any reason, or for no reason. We are not liable for any damages or liabilities resulting from refusal of an Account.
THIS AGREEMENT IS SUBJECT TO MANDATORY ARBITRATION PURSUANT TO THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT AND A WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION AND JURY PROVISION. PLEASE CAREFULLY READ SECTION 4 (ARBITRATION AND WAIVERS).
A. Availability. The Account is available to United States citizens or lawful permanent residents with a U.S. physical address or with military addresses (APO or FPO) who are at least 18 years old with a valid Social Security Number or Tax Identification Number. To open an Account or be issued a Card, you must provide any information we may request from time to time. Each owner of an Account shall have a continuing obligation to provide any other documentation we may request from time to time, including any information required under our customer identification program to establish your identity.
You must also agree to go paperless. This means that: (1) you must keep us supplied with your valid email address and telephone number; and (2) you must agree to accept the Lewis & Clark Bank Electronic Communication Consent, which governs entering into electronic transactions and electronic delivery of all communications.
B. Account Type and Ownership. The Account is a transaction account that does not pay interest. The Account may not be opened as a joint account. You cannot give a security interest or pledge your Account to someone other than us without first getting our express written consent. We are not required to give consent to a security interest or pledge to someone else. Unless we agree in a separate writing otherwise, a security interest or pledge to someone else must be satisfied or released before any right to withdraw from the Account can be exercised. You must immediately report to us any changes in Account ownership information that you originally provided to us in connection with the submission of your application for an Account.
You may designate authorized users to initiate transactions on your behalf or take any action under this Agreement that you may have taken, and any action taken by an authorized user shall be fully binding on you. You may not permit an authorized user to initiate a transfer, payment order, or other transaction in the absence of proper supervision and safeguards. If you permit another person to have access to the Account, this will be treated as if you authorized such use, and you will be liable for all transactions and Fees incurred by those persons. You are wholly responsible for the use of each Account use according to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. You are liable for all transactions made with the Account by your authorized user(s). You may terminate the authority of any authorized user at any time by giving us prior notice of termination. To terminate access of an authorized user to an Account, call customer service (844) 925-2777, and you must follow-up not later than ten (10) business days with the written notification to revoke (cancel) permission for any person you previously authorized to use your Account. Until we have received your written notice of such a revocation (cancelation) and have had a reasonable time to act upon the written notification of cancelation, you are responsible for all transactions and Fees incurred by you or any authorized user. If you tell us to revoke (cancel) another person’s use of your Account, we may revoke (cancel) your Account credentials.
Except as otherwise provided by law, you shall be liable for any loss or damage to which your negligence contributed or which resulted in unauthorized, fraudulent, or dishonest acts by your current and/or former authorized users. Such liability includes instances when a current or former authorized user effects one or more transfers, payment orders, or other transactions or improper use of Security Procedures to effect a transfer, payment order, or other transaction to your detriment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, you are liable for all losses relating to unauthorized funds transfers that do not result solely from our negligence or intentional misconduct, unless the laws governing your Account requires a lesser liability.
C. Opening an Account. To open an Account, you must submit to us an application and all information that we may require. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires us to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each customer who opens an Account. What this means for you: When you open an Account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and taxpayer ID or social security number, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see other identifying documents, such as a driver’s license, taxpayer identification number; passport number and country of issuance; alien identification card number; or number and country of issuance of any other government-issued document evidencing nationality or residence and bearing a photograph or similar safeguard. If, for any reason, you are unable to provide the information necessary to verify your identity, the Account may be blocked or closed, which may result in additional fees assessed to the Account. You may also be asked to provide such information at other times (and on any qualifying account) upon request of the Bank. You shall have a continuing obligation to provide any other documentation we may request from time to time, including any information required under our customer identification program to establish your identity. If at any time we determine that the information you provided to us was false, incorrect, or of concern to the Bank, or if you refuse to provide, or delay in providing, us with the information when requested, we may close, block, restrict, or freeze any or all of your Accounts.
By requesting to or opening an Account with us, you agree that we can gather personal information about you from one or more consumer reporting agencies, governmental entities, and/or other third parties to determine your eligibility for an Account. You also agree that we have the right to access follow-up consumer reports while your Account is open for maintenance, review, or collection purposes, or for any other permissible purpose under applicable law.
Your Account will not be considered "opened" until it is funded. This means your balance must be at least a penny. Once your Account is considered “opened,” there is no minimum balance required and no maximum balance limit. However, we may, at our sole discretion and at any time, require a minimum balance and set a maximum balance limit.
D. BSA and OFAC Compliance Obligations. Among other compliance obligations imposed on us by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”) (pursuant to the Bank Secrecy Act, as amended and supplemented from time to time (“BSA”)) and the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), we are required to report certain transactions to FinCEN and OFAC (all such obligations, the “BSA/OFAC Compliance Obligations”). You acknowledge and agree that we may capture and transmit or disclose information collected from or about you in connection with this Agreement for the purpose of satisfying our BSA/OFAC Compliance Obligations, including without limitation information regarding you, your authorized users, and your Account (for example, name, address, and account number) to FinCEN or OFAC, as part of the processing of a payment order. You agree to assist us in connection with any requirements imposed on us in fulfilling our obligations under law, including without limitation the BSA/OFAC Compliance Obligations. You agree to observe and comply with all applicable law and all anti-money laundering and sanctions laws, including, without limitation the BSA and the Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, and each of OFAC’s economic and trade sanctions regulations in connection or related to your Account.
E. Service Provider. You understand that we have engaged the Service Provider to perform a number of services for you under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, identity verification, compliance monitoring, risk mitigation, managing your Account, and other services we may require. The Service Provider, along with its partners and agents, is the servicer of your Account. In that capacity, Service Provider may act on our behalf, perform our obligations, and/or enforce our rights under this Agreement. You agree that you may only access the Account through the Service Provider. You may provide us with payment instructions and view certain Account information by using the Service Provider Platform. You understand that any payment instruction or activity performed using the Services shall be deemed authorized and valid and the Bank is under no obligation to investigate the instruction or activity.
Separate and apart from its role as our servicer, the Service Provider may also offer Services to you. We are neither responsible for the provisioning of such Services nor do we make any recommendations, representations, warranties, or suggestions regarding such Services. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not have any liability in connection with the Services or Service Provider Platform and disclaim all warranties, either express or implied or statutory, including, but not limited to, any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, data (including unauthorized access), intellectual property infringement, and/or lack of viruses related to the Services or Service Provider Platform. In no event shall we be liable for any losses or damages related to your use of the Services or Service Provider Platform.
A. Linking Accounts. You may link your bank account at another financial institution (“Linked Account”) to your Account in order to transfer funds between your Linked Account and your Account. You represent and warrant: (1) that you have the right to authorize any and all charges and debits to the Linked Account; (2) the Linked Account is held at a depository institution located in the U.S.; and (3) you are individually or jointly the owner of the Linked Account. You will indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims by any person related to the Linked Account, including any other owner of the Linked Account. You are not permitted to link your Account with a credit, debit, gift, or other type of card issued by a third party or another bank. You may deposit funds into or withdraw funds from your Account by using the Service Provider Platform to initiate an Automated Clearing House transfer (“ACH Transfer”) to or from the Linked Account. We do not accept requests made otherwise to initiate ACH Transfers. Requests for ACH Transfers to debit the Linked Account that are made before 2:30 PM PST on a business day, shall be considered received on the business day the request is made. Requests for ACH Transfers to debit the Linked Account that are made after 2:30 PM PST on a business day or on a non-business day, shall be considered received the next business day.
B. Internal Transfer Between Accounts at the Bank. We may (but are not obligated to) permit you to initiate a transfer of funds between your Accounts at the Bank through a Service Provider Platform. We do not accept requests made otherwise to initiate internal transfers.
C. Deposits. When you make a deposit, we will act only as your collection agent and will not be responsible beyond the exercise of good faith and ordinary care. All deposits are provisionally credited subject to our receipt of final payment. If a deposit or transfer of funds into your Account is returned or rejected by the paying financial institution for any reason, you agree that we may deduct the amount of the deposit or transfer against your Account, without prior written notice to you.
i. Methods of Deposit. You may make a deposit into your Account by ACH Transfers or any other method we make available to you. You may also arrange for recurring deposits, such as direct deposits, to be made electronically to your Account.
ii. Limitations on Deposits. We do not accept deposits by mail, cash, paper check, or foreign currency deposits. We are not liable for deposits of any kind that you mail to us, including if it is lost in transit, lost in the mail, or otherwise not received by us. If you attempt to make a deposit through a prohibited means, the transaction will be rejected. If you mail us a cash deposit, we may send the cash back to you or, if you owe us funds, set off such amounts from the cash you send us. We may but are not obligated to accept checks. If you mail a paper check to us, including personal checks, money orders, or cashier’s checks, we may either apply the check to any negative balance you may have on your Account or send the check back to you. We do not accept any deposits in foreign currency. Any deposits received in foreign currency, whether in the form of cash or check, will be sent back to you. We will send all items back to the address we have for you on file, and we are not liable if you do not receive the return mail or cash or items.
iii. Deposit Requirements. In addition to any other limitation set forth herein, you may only deposit with us funds that are immediately available, which under applicable law are irreversible and are not subject to any lien, claim, or encumbrance.
D. Withdrawals. Subject to any limitations we may prescribe, you may make withdrawals from your Account up to the available balance in your Account by any means that we make available to you. We may refuse a withdrawal request exceeding the available funds in your Account even if you make a deposit in the day after we refuse your withdrawal request. If your available balance is not enough to pay a transaction you make, we may assess a non-sufficient funds (“NSF”) Fee, regardless of whether we pay the transaction. You are not permitted to make withdrawals from your Account by creating a check drawn on your Account. If you attempt to make any transactions with your Account using a credit, debit, gift, or other type of card issued by a third party or another bank or by creating a check drawn on your Account, we may reject and/or return the transaction without notice to you and may consider such action to be a violation by you of this Agreement.
Before allowing a transaction, we may request you to provide us with identification, authorization, documentation, or other information that we deem necessary. We may refuse a withdrawal if you fail to comply with our request. We may tell you in advance when we are going to refuse a withdrawal request but will not be required to do so.
E. Payment Instructions. Your unique passwords, access codes, security devices, or authentication techniques and related instructions (“Credentials”) as we may require from time to time will be made available to you. You agree that your Credentials are strictly confidential and must be safeguarded. You shall have sole responsibility for controlling the distribution and maintaining the confidentiality of your Credentials. You authorize us to execute transactions pursuant to the instructions of anyone who has provided us with proper Credentials (including, but not limited to, payment instructions received by us (such as requests to withdraw or transfer funds from your Account through the Service Provider Platform or in connection with your mobile device used to access the Service Provider Platform) and you acknowledge that we shall conclusively presume that any person possessing your Credentials is an authorized user and will regard their request for such transaction or payment instruction as being authorized by you, subject to applicable law. The use of any of your Credentials by another person will be as effective as your use of the Credentials, regardless of whether the person affixing the Credentials was authorized by you and regardless of the means by which the Credentials were affixed, subject to applicable law. For example, if you provide your username and password used to access the Service Provider Platform to another person and that person uses that information to withdraw funds from your Account, the withdrawal will be authorized by you. Unless prohibited by applicable law, you agree to hold us harmless and indemnify us for any liability incurred for reasonably acting upon such instructions which bear any of your Credentials. You agree to keep confidential and to take all reasonable precautions and make all reasonable efforts to protect the secrecy of all Credentials issued to you, selected by you, or utilized by you. If you become aware of the unauthorized use of your Credentials, suspect that an unauthorized use may occur, any of your Credentials become lost or known to another person, or you have terminated authorization of any authorized user, you agree to immediately notify us to deactivate your Credentials by contacting us at help@exhalefi.com or notifying us through the Service Provider Platform. IN NO EVENT WILL WE BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES RESULTING, EITHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, FROM THE UNAUTHORIZED USE OF YOUR CREDENTIALS PRIOR TO SUCH NOTICE AND WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME PERIOD THEREAFTER.
We may refuse to follow any of your payment instructions if we think they are illegal or potentially harmful to us or any other person. If we follow your payment instructions, we may require other security measures to protect us from any losses we may suffer. To the greatest extent permitted by law, you agree to pay us back for any damages or losses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees) that we suffer if we take an action based on your (or what appears to be your) oral, written, or electronic instructions.
F. Posting Order of Credits and Debits.
i. Posting Orders. This Section 3(F) (Posting Order of Credits and Debits) summarizes how we generally post some common transactions to your Account. Posting transactions to your Account impacts your Account balance. Posting a credit increases your balance, while posting a debit or hold reduces your balance. Credits include deposits and credits we make. Holds include deposit holds and holds related to withdrawals and electronic fund transfers, which include ACH Transfers. Debits include withdrawals, transfers, payments from your Account, and Fees.
We use automated systems to process transactions and then to post transactions to your Account. When we process multiple transactions for your Account on the same day, you agree that we may in our discretion determine our posting orders for the transactions and that we may credit, authorize, accept, pay, decline, or return credits, debits, and holds in any order at our option. We generally post common transaction as set forth herein. We group the different types of transactions into categories. We use several different categories for holds, credits, and debits. Most categories include more than one transaction type. After the end of the business day, our automated systems assign each transaction received for that day to a category. We generally post all transactions within a category, using the posting order or orders that apply to that category before we post any transactions assigned to the next category.
First, we start with the balance in your Account at the beginning of the business day, subtract holds from your balance, and make any adjustments from prior days. Next, we generally add available and settled deposits and credits to your balance and then subtract debits from your balance based on the debit category. We subtract debits in a category from your balance in order from the highest to lowest dollar amount, unless specified otherwise herein. If we make checks available to you, this category is applied first against your balance. Check posting will be in sequential order based on the check number, and for any check for which the number cannot be read, from highest to lowest amount following the posting of number legible checks. We then subtract from your balance any other types of debits in order from the highest to lowest dollar amount. Finally, we subtract from your balance most Fees (such as monthly maintenance Fees and returned item Fees) in order from highest to lowest dollar amount. Some Fees may show as “processing” until the next day.
ii. Changing Posting Orders. You agree that we may determine in our discretion the orders in which we post transactions to your Account. You agree that we may determine in our discretion the categories, the transactions within a category, the order among categories and the posting orders within a category. We sometimes add or delete categories, change posting orders within categories, and move transaction types among categories. You agree that we may in our discretion make these changes at any time without notice to you.
iii. Posting Orders Determined at End of Day. We receive credits, debits, and holds throughout the day. Regardless of when during the day we receive transactions for your Account, you agree that we may treat them as if we received all transactions at the same time at the end of the business day. During the day, we show some transactions as processing. Please note that transactions shown as processing have not been posted yet. The posting order for these transactions is determined at the end of the day, with the other transactions we receive for that day and based on the category. We do not always receive debits on the same day that you conduct them. We generally post credits and debits to your Account, and report them on your statement, in a different order than the order in which you conduct them.
iv. Certain Transactions Made After Business Day Ends. During processing, we may include in your Account balance some transactions that you make after the business day cut-off, but before the end of the calendar day. Deposits are made available based on Section 8 (Deposit Availability Disclosure). We generally subtract from your Account balance the following debits, when the transaction occurs after the cutoff time for the business day, but during the same calendar day: any credit-push ACH Transfers or electronic fund transfers.
G. Insurance Coverage. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insures deposits according to the ownership category in which the funds are insured. Not all accounts may be insured. Unless otherwise stated by us or the FDIC, the Account is insured by the FDIC up to the standard maximum deposit insurance amount per depositor, per FDIC-insured bank, and per ownership category (the “Standard Insurance Amount” or “SIA”). For purposes of determining the SIA applicable to your Account, you need to consider all accounts that you also hold at the Bank. To determine SIA applicable to your Account with us and for any other FDIC insurance requirements that may apply, please visit the FDIC’s website at www.fdic.gov/deposit/deposits or call the FDIC directly at 1-877-ASKFDIC (1-877-275-3342). You can also use the FDIC’s Electronic Deposit Insurance Estimator (EDIE) at www.fdic.gov/edie.
H. Legal Processes and Claims Against You or Your Account. If we receive a levy, attachment, execution, garnishment, tax withholding order, restraining order, subpoena, warrant, injunction, government agency request for information, search warrant, forfeiture, or other similar order (“Legal Process”) against you, any party to your Account, or against your Account, we may accept and comply with such Legal Process whether it was served to us in person, by mail, by facsimile, by email, or at one of our locations (other than where your Account, property or records are held). You direct us not to contest the Legal Process; provided, however, we are under no obligation to contest any Legal Process. Subject to any law or government authority prohibiting such disclosure, we may, but are not required to send notice to you of the Legal Process. We may refuse to permit withdrawals or transfers from your Account until the Legal Process is dismissed or satisfied. We may hold and turn over funds or other property to the court or creditor as directed by the Legal Process, subject to our right of set-off and security interest in the funds or other property. You are responsible for any losses, costs, or expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) we incur as a result of any Legal Process involving you, any party to your Account, or your Account.
If we receive a claim against the funds in your Account, or if we know of or believe that there‘s a dispute as to the ownership or control of funds in your Account, we may, in our discretion: (1) place a hold on your Account and refuse to pay out any funds until we are satisfied that the dispute is settled; (2) close your Account and send the balance to the named Account holder(s); (3) require a court order to act; or (4) take any other action we feel is necessary to protect us. We will not be liable to you for taking any such action.
We may charge your Account a Fee for each Legal Process or claim involving you, any party to your Account, or your Account. You agree to pay us for Fees and expenses (including administrative expenses) that we incur in responding to any Legal Process or claim related to your Account, such as expenses for research and copying of documents. The Fees and expenses may include reasonable attorneys’ fees. We may deduct these Fees and expenses from your Account or any account you have with us without prior notice to you.
We may produce or provide access to property, including documents, that are located in or at any of our locations or facilities or at any facility of a third party holding such property or documentation on our behalf, even if the facility or location is not subject to being searched per the Legal Process. We have no liability to you if we accept and comply with a Legal Process as provided in this Section 3(K) (Legal Processes and Claims Against You or Your Account) or by law.
I. Statements.
We will deliver or make available to you periodic statements while your Account is active. You will receive a statement as long as you have a transaction on your Account during the statement period, and if there were no transactions on your Account, we will provide you a statement at least quarterly. The Account statement will describe payments or transfers made in connection with your Account. You agree to notify us promptly if you do not receive your statement by the date, you normally would expect to receive it. You will receive an electronic statement (not paper), and you agree that the statements have been delivered or made available to you in a reasonable manner.
You have a duty to review your Account statements. You agree to review and to examine your receipts and Account statements and to reconcile your Account daily using reasonable care and to promptly report any discrepancy between your records and the information provided in your Account statement and any errors or problems to us. Except as provided by applicable law, you agree that we are not required to provide you with a separate notice of incoming or outgoing Wire Transfers and you should review your statement for any discrepancies, unauthorized transactions, or errors in connection with any transaction. If you choose not to receive your statements, you remain responsible to review and report any errors. If you are absent from your Account mailing address, you are responsible to make arrangements to have your statements reviewed for errors and report them in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
You agree that if you fail to report any unauthorized signatures, alterations, or forgeries in your Account within sixty (60) days of when we first send or make the statement available, you cannot assert a claim against us on any items in that statement, and as between you and us, the loss will be entirely yours. This sixty (60) day limitation is without regard to whether we used ordinary care. In addition to your duty to review your statements for unauthorized signatures, alterations, and forgeries, you agree to examine your statement with reasonable promptness for any other error such as an encoding error. In addition, if you receive or we make available either your items or images of your items, you must examine them for any unauthorized or missing endorsements or any other problems. You agree that the time you have to examine your statement and items and report to us will depend on the circumstances. However, this time period will not exceed sixty (60) days. Failure to examine your statement and items and report any errors to us within sixty (60) days of when we first send or make the statement available precludes you from asserting a claim against us for any errors on items identified in that statement and, as between you and us, the loss will be entirely yours.
You further agree that if you fail to report any unauthorized transaction on your statement to us within ten (10) days from when the statement is postmarked or otherwise made available to you, whichever is earlier, we will not be required to pay interest on any unauthorized, erroneous, or other Wire Transfer or Funds Transfer request or on any refund to which you may be entitled and you will also be liable to us for any damages or losses we may incur as a result of your failure to notify us within the time period stated in this Section 3(I) (Statements). Because you are in the best position to discover an unauthorized transaction, you agree that, without regard to care or lack of care by either you or Bank, we will not be liable for any unauthorized transaction reflected on your statement that is not reported within 60 days of the statement issuance date, subject to applicable law and payment network rules. We will only credit your Account for errors or problems as required by law. Email us immediately with errors or questions about electronic transfers at @exhalefi.com. If you tell us orally, you must submit your complaint or question in writing within ten (10) business days. If you provide us with timely notice of an error or problem in your periodic statement, we will investigate the matter and notify you of the results within a reasonable amount of time. The exact time will depend on the specific circumstances of the error or problem. You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation.
J. Interest and Interest Rate. Your Account is not an interest-bearing account.
K. Prohibitions. The Account is only available for personal, family, or household purposes and not for business purposes. You are not entitled to open an Account under this Agreement if you are a corporation, unincorporated business association, partnership, limited liability company, incorporated nonprofit organization, sole proprietorship, or any other entity. We reserve the right to close your Account if we determine that it is used for any impermissible purpose, as we may determine from time to time. You may not use your Account for illegal gambling or any other illegal transaction or purpose. This prohibition includes any transaction that is illegal in the jurisdiction where you live, in the jurisdiction where the transaction is consummated, or in any other jurisdiction affected by the transaction. You are responsible for determining the legality of each of your transactions in all applicable jurisdictions before entering into the transaction. We have no obligation to monitor, review, or evaluate the legality of any transaction. Nevertheless, we may deny transactions or authorizations if we believe the transaction is or may be illegal. We reserve the right to refuse or return any item that we believe is related to an illegal transaction, an Internet or online gambling transaction, or a high-risk transaction, as determined by us. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to pay for any transaction that you authorized, even if the transaction is determined to be illegal or associated with an illegal activity. We reserve the right to cancel, close, or restrict use of the Account, including by refusing the processing of any transaction, if we believe you have violated this Agreement or any applicable law.
L. Account Fees; Fee Schedule. You agree to pay all Fees and charges applicable to your Account, which will be automatically deducted from your Account and may result in your Account being overdrawn. The amounts of these Fees and charges are listed in Exhibit 1. Fees are subject to change at any time and without notice to you, unless required by law. Fees are charged by the Bank for its products and services. Service Provider may charge you fees separate and apart from the Fees set forth in Exhibit 1 for its Services, pursuant to the Service Provider Terms. The Bank is not responsible for any fees charged by Service Provider for its Services. If you request a product or service that is not included in Exhibit 1 and there is a Fee for such product or service, such Fee will be disclosed at the time you request the product or service and you agree that any such Fee may be deducted from your Account.
M. Negative Balance. Each time you initiate a transaction using your Account, you authorize the Bank to reduce the funds available in your Account by the amount of the transaction and all associated Fees. You are not allowed to exceed the available balance in your Account through an individual transaction or a series of transactions (creating a “negative balance”). Nevertheless, if any transaction causes the balance in your Account to go negative, including any purchase transactions where the retailer or merchant does not request authorization, you shall remain fully liable to us for the amount of any negative balance and any corresponding transaction Fees. You may also be liable for any related returned item Fees as set forth in Exhibit 1. We reserve the right to bill you for any negative balance or to recoup such negative balance from your Account or any other account you have at the Bank. You agree to pay us promptly for the negative balance and any related Fees. We also reserve the right to terminate your Account if you create one or more negative balances. If you fail to pay us amounts owed under this Agreement, we may refer your Account, and collection of amounts owed, to a collection agency.
N. Death or Incompetence. Your death, or a declaration that you are legally incompetent to handle your affairs, does not end our authority to pay checks signed or other items authorized by you, to accept deposits, or to collect items deposited until we receive written notice of your death or declared incompetence. Even after we receive such notice, we can pay checks or other items authorized by you before your death or declared incompetence for such period permitted under applicable law. On joint Accounts, your death or declared incompetence does not affect the rights of any other owner of the Account to make deposits, make withdrawals or, if applicable, write checks. We may require the surviving owners and/or any Account beneficiaries to provide reasonable proof of your death or incompetence and, in some jurisdictions, provide any tax releases or other documents or consents needed from government authorities before we pay any checks or other items authorized on your joint Account or allow the surviving owners or beneficiaries to withdraw any funds from the Account. You are responsible for notifying us when any other joint Account owner dies. Certain checks or other items made payable to a deceased joint Account owner (e.g., Social Security benefits or disability and SSI payments, VA benefits, pension payments, automatic payroll deposits, etc.) must be returned to the issuer or originator and may not be used, cashed, or disposed of in any other way by the surviving Account owner(s). If such checks or items are used, cashed, or disposed of by any one or all of the surviving Account owner(s), each Account owner remains liable for the check or item and any charges, fees, or other penalties incurred as a result of the improper use of the check or item. In our discretion, and subject to applicable law, we can charge your Account for these checks or items and remit payment to the issuer or originator of the check or item.
O. Monitoring and Closing Your Account. Subject to the terms herein, you may close your Account at any time and for any reason by contacting us or terminating the Account through the Service Provider Platform, if applicable. We reserve the right to refuse your request to close your Account if your Account is not in good standing or if you have a negative balance on your Account. If you intend to close your Account, you should notify us through the Service Provider Platform. Simply reducing your Account balance to $0.00 is insufficient notice. If you close your Account, you are responsible for transactions you initiated or authorized, including those that we receive after the Account is closed, subject to applicable law withdrawals from your Account may be restricted prior to Account closing.
We reserve the right to monitor all Account activity for inappropriate use. We may also suspend or close your Account at our discretion and for any reason with or without notice. This includes if we believe you are using your Account for fraudulent or illegal purposes or in violation of law or regulation, this Agreement, any other agreement you may have with us or Service Provider, or if you otherwise present undue risk to us or Service Provider. We are not responsible to you for any damages you may suffer as a result of the closure or suspension of your Account. If we close your Account, all collected funds (less any amounts due to us or for debits in process) will be transferred to your Linked Account. Alternatively, we may, at our discretion, mail you a check for the available balance in your Account. Written notice that the Account has been closed, to the extent required by law, and a check, if any, will be sent to any address shown on our records for you, or if the Account is a jointly owned, to any account owner to whom we elect to send it, or the email address we have on file for the Account. Once we have closed your Account, you agree that we may assess any Fees or service charges otherwise applicable against any remaining balance in your Account. We are not responsible to you for any damages you may suffer as a result of your Account being closed. If you attempt to make a deposit to an Account we closed, we may collect the deposit and set-off your indebtedness to us. The closure of your Account or termination of this Agreement does not impact any right or obligation that arose prior to closure or termination, or any right or obligation that, by its nature, should survive termination (including, but not limited to, any indemnification obligation by you, our limitations of liability, and any terms governing arbitration).
P. Dormancy and Unclaimed Property.
State laws (called "escheat" or unclaimed property laws) require us to close your Account and transfer your money to the state if your Account is dormant for a period of time as defined by your state of residence. State and federal law and our policy govern when your Account is considered dormant. Your Account is usually considered dormant if you have not accessed your Account, communicated to us about your Account or otherwise shown an interest in your Account within the period of time specified under applicable law. Each state has varying laws as to when an account is subject to escheatment and we may be required to send the balance in your Account to the state of your last known address or, if not in the U.S., the State of Oregon. We will make all reasonable efforts to contact you if required by applicable law before transferring the remaining balance of your Account to the applicable state. After we surrender the funds to the state, we have no further liability to you for those funds and you must apply to the appropriate state agency to reclaim your funds. You can avoid the transfer of your money to the state simply by signing into your Account, transacting periodically, or contacting us, or replying to any abandoned property correspondence. If your Account becomes dormant, you may no longer receive statements, but you can still view your Account online.
Q. Fraud and Unauthorized Transactions.
i. Duty to Safeguard Account and/or Supported Device. You agree to keep any Account and/or Credentials, security code, password, or other confidential identification number used to access your Supported Device or Account, secure and strictly confidential and to not permit disclosure of such information to any unauthorized person. You agree to immediately notify the Bank if this information has become known to, or been used by, an unauthorized person. You acknowledge that the Bank has no method to determine whether a transaction conducted with use of a valid Account name, Account number, Credentials, and/or security code was proper, and you therefore authorize the Bank to complete any transaction involving your Account made with the use of such information, and verifying the authenticity of a transaction request using Account information, Credentials, security code, password, or other confidential identification number used to access your Account constitutes a commercially reasonable security procedure of purposes of UCC Article 4A. You agree to be responsible for any transaction initiated with the use of valid Credentials or any access device. The Bank shall have no liability for any loss, claim, or damage sustained as a result of the use of your Credentials or access device whether such transaction was authorized or not and you agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Bank for any such transaction alleged to be unauthorized.
ii. Duty of Care. You agree that you will exercise ordinary care in handling your Account. In exercising ordinary care, you shall have the duty to: carefully examine your Account statements for fraudulent or unauthorized transactions and promptly notify Bank of any such transaction; timely reconcile your Account statement with your internal records to detect any other Account discrepancies, including any missing or diverted deposits; implement security precautions regarding the use and access of your Accounts through any access device, Credentials, security codes, passwords, or confidential identification numbers; conduct background checks of all individuals having access to any Credentials, security or access devices, or sensitive Account information; conduct background checks on all individuals who have authority to prepare Account transactions or reconcile Account statements; independently review the work of individuals who are responsible for reconciling Account statements and preparing transactions using your Account; and comply with all other duties under this Agreement or under any applicable law. Your failure to exercise ordinary care will constitute negligence and will preclude you from asserting against the Bank any unauthorized transaction on your Account.
iii. Security Procedures. You are responsible for establishing and maintaining safeguards, policies, and procedures that ensure your computer systems and networks and information stored on or transmitted through your network are not accessed or used by any unauthorized person and to ensure that your origination of payment orders and your transfer requests are secure, and that unauthorized access or issuance of transfer requests is prevented. You agree that the security procedures set forth in this Agreement (e.g., in this Section 3(Q)(iii) (Security Procedures), Section 7(B) (Security Procedures), or otherwise) will govern the origination of payment orders and transfer requests (collectively, the “Security Procedures”). You represent, warrant, and agree that the Security Procedures constitute a “security procedure” for purposes of UCC § 4A-201. You represent that you: (a) consider yourself qualified to have, and have, independently evaluated the risks presented by the Security Procedures; and (b) have determined that the Security Procedures are no less protective than other security procedures in use by similarly situated persons. You hereby represent, warrant, and agree that the Security Procedures are commercially reasonable within the meaning of UCC § 4A-202. We shall comply and you shall comply with the Security Procedures with respect to transfer requests and payment orders submitted to us. You acknowledge that the purpose of the Security Procedures is to verify authenticity and not to detect an error in the transmission or content of any file transmission, transfer request, or payment order. No Security Procedures have been agreed upon between you and us for the detection of any such error and you shall be solely responsible for any transmission errors. If a file transmission is authorized or issued by you, or on your behalf, or you otherwise benefit from such file, you agree to be bound by the data contained in the file transmission whether or not we complied with the Security Procedures.
All payment orders and your transfer requests submitted to us through the Service Provider Platform shall be considered authorized by you. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, we shall be entitled to deem any person having knowledge of any Security Procedure to be an authorized user.
If you believe or suspect that any such information or instructions have been compromised, known, or accessed by any unauthorized person, you agree to notify us immediately, but in no event longer than one (1) business day, by calling us at (844) 925-2777 followed by written confirmation to 500 Westover Dr, Suite 13032, Sanford, NC 27330 or by email to help@exhalefi.com. The occurrence of unauthorized access will not affect any payment order or transfer request made, the processing of a file transmission, transfer requests or payment orders processed, in compliance with the Security Procedures prior to receipt of such notification and within a reasonable time period to prevent unauthorized payment or transfer. You warrant that no individual will be allowed to initiate transfer requests or payment orders in the absence of proper supervision and safeguards and agree to maintain the confidentiality of Security Procedures and any passwords, codes, security devices, and related instructions provided by us in connection with the Security Procedures and prevent the disclosure of the same except on a need to know basis. If you believe or suspect that any such information or Security Procedures are accessed by unauthorized persons, you will notify us immediately followed by written confirmation. You agree to defend all claims and indemnify and hold us harmless from and against any loss, damages, or expenses, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees, caused by your failure or the failure of your authorized users, to keep the Security Procedures confidential and secure. The occurrence of unauthorized access will not affect any payment or transfer made in good faith by us prior to receipt of notification and within a reasonable time period to prevent unauthorized transfers.
If a transfer request (or a request for cancellation or amendment of a transfer request) or payment order (or a request for cancellation or amendment of a payment order) received by us purports to have been transmitted or authorized by you, it will be deemed effective as your transfer request or payment order and you shall be obligated to pay us the amount of such related payment order or transfer request even though the transfer request or payment order (or request for cancellation or amendment of the same) was not authorized by you so long as we acted in compliance with the Security Procedures. You shall examine your Account each business day to review each transfer request or payment order and notify us immediately (and confirm such notice promptly in writing) of any unauthorized, incorrect, or delayed transfer request or payment order reflected in such information. You acknowledge that time is of the essence in reviewing your Account and reporting discrepancies in order to prevent or limit loss by reason of unauthorized, erroneous, or delayed transfers or payment orders, and compliance with this requirement is a condition precedent to any recovery against us for any alleged error or negligence in connection with such transfer request or payment order. If a transfer request (or request for cancellation or amendment of a transfer request) or payment order (or request for cancellation or amendment of a payment order) received by us was transmitted or authorized by you, you shall be obligated to pay the amount of the associated payment order or transfer requests as provided herein, whether or not we complied with the Security Procedures and whether or not that transfer request or payment order was erroneous in any respect or that error would have been detected if we had complied with such Security Procedures. For the avoidance of doubt, you further agree that any transfer request or payment order that is acted upon in good faith by us in compliance with these Security Procedures, whether or not in fact authorized by you, shall constitute an authorized transfer request or payment order.
In the event of a breach of the Security Procedure, you agree to assist us in determining the manner and source of the breach. Such assistance shall include, but shall not be limited to, providing us or our agent access to your hard drive, storage media and devices, systems, and any other equipment or device that was used in breach of the Security Procedure. You further agree to provide to us any analysis of such equipment, device, or software or any report of such analysis performed by you, your agents, law enforcement agencies, or any other third party. Failure of you to assist us shall be an admission by you that the breach of the Security Procedure was caused by a person who obtained access to transmitting facilities of you or who obtained information facilitating the breach of the Security Procedure from you and not from a source controlled by us.
We reserve the right to modify, amend, supplement, or cancel any or all Security Procedures at any time and from time to time in our discretion. We will endeavor to give you reasonable notice of any change in Security Procedures; provided that we may make any change in Security Procedures without advance notice to you if we, in our judgment and discretion, believe such change to be necessary or desirable to protect the security of our systems and assets. Your use of any products or services described herein, including issuance of a transfer request or payment order, after any change in Security Procedures shall constitute your agreement to the change and your agreement that the applicable Security Procedures, as changed, are commercially reasonable and adequate for the purposes intended.
iv. Claim of Loss. If you claim a credit or refund because of a forgery, alteration, or any other unauthorized withdrawal, you agree to cooperate with us in the investigation of the loss, including giving us an affidavit containing whatever reasonable information we require concerning your Account, the transaction, and the circumstances surrounding the loss. You will notify law enforcement authorities of any criminal act related to the claim of lost, missing, or stolen Credentials or unauthorized withdrawals. We will have a reasonable period of time to investigate the facts and circumstances surrounding any claim of loss. In no event will we be liable for special or consequential damages, including loss of profits or opportunity, or for attorneys’ fees incurred by you. You agree that you will not waive any rights you have to recover your loss against anyone who is obligated to repay, insure, or otherwise reimburse you for your loss. You will pursue your rights or, at our option, assign them to us so that we may pursue them. Our liability will be reduced by the amount you recover or are entitled to recover from these other sources.
THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION WILL HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT ON HOW LEGAL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US ARE RESOLVED. PLEASE READ THIS SECTION 4 (ARBITRATION AND WAIVERS) CAREFULLY. For a dispute subject to arbitration, neither you nor we will have the right to: (A) have a court or a jury decide the dispute; (B) engage in information-gathering (discovery) to the same extent as in court; (C) participate in a class action in court or in class arbitration; or (D) join or consolidate a claim with claims of any other persons. Arbitration procedures are simpler and more limited than rules applicable in court.
A. Definitions. If you have a claim or dispute with us or our Service Provider, and we are not able to resolve the claim or dispute informally, you and we agree that upon demand by either you or us, the claim or dispute will be resolved through the arbitration process as set forth in this Section 4 (Arbitration and Waivers). A “claim” or “dispute,” as used in this Section 4 (Arbitration and Waivers), is any unresolved disagreement between you, us, and/or our Service Provider, arising from or relating in any way to the Account or this Agreement. The terms “claim” and “dispute” are to be given the broadest possible meaning that will be enforced and includes, by way of example and without limitation, any disagreement relating in any way to your Account or any additional account, joint account holder; products or services offered in connection with an Account or any other products or services offered pursuant to this Agreement; to your use of any of our banking products or services; to any means you may use to access your Account(s); to any advertisements, promotions, or oral or written statements related to the Account; to the benefits and services related to an Account; or your approval, establishment, or enrollment for an Account. Claims also include disagreements about the meaning, application, or enforceability of this arbitration agreement. As solely used in this Section 4 (Arbitration and Waivers), “we” or “us” shall include the Bank, its affiliates and their successors, employees, directors, officers and agents. In addition, “we” or “us” shall include Service Provider, any third party, their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, licensees, predecessors, successors, and assigns using or providing any product, service, or benefit in connection with this Agreement or any Account if, and only if, such third party is named as a co-party with us (or files a claim with or against us) in connection with a claim asserted by you. The terms “you” or “yours” shall mean each Account and all persons or entities approved to have, approved to use, and/or given access to an Account, including but not limited to all persons or entities contractually obligated under this Agreement. The term “Account,” for purposes of arbitration, includes any updated or substitute account for you related to the Account or any other account contemplated by this Agreement.
B. Binding Arbitration and Appeals. If either party elects arbitration, that claim shall be arbitrated on an individual basis. Arbitration applies whenever there is a claim between you and us. The arbitrator’s authority to resolve claims or make awards is limited to claims between you and us alone. If a third party is also involved in a claim between you and us, then the claim will be decided with respect to the third party in arbitration as well, and it must be named as a party in accordance with the rules of procedure governing the arbitration. No award or relief will be granted by the arbitrator except on behalf of, or against, a named party. Furthermore, claims brought by you against us or by us against you may not be joined or consolidated with claims brought by or against someone other than you, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by all parties. Claims are subject to arbitration, regardless of on what theory they are based, whether they seek legal or equitable remedies, or whether they are common law or statutory (Federal or state) claims. Arbitration applies to any and all such claims or disputes, whether they arose in the past, may currently exist, or may arise in the future.
Judgment upon the arbitrator’s award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction. The arbitrator’s decision is final and binding, except for any right of appeal provided by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code) (“FAA”). However, if the amount of the claim exceeds $25,000 or involves a request for injunctive or declaratory relief that could foreseeably involve a cost or benefit to either party exceeding $25,000, any party can, within thirty (30) days after the entry of the award by the arbitrator, appeal the award to a three-arbitrator panel administered by the forum. The panel shall reconsider anew all factual and legal issues, following the same rules of procedure and decide by majority vote. Reference in this Section 4 (Arbitration and Waivers) to “the arbitrator” shall mean the panel if an appeal of the arbitrator’s decision has been taken.
C. Initiation of Arbitration. Any claim must be resolved, upon the election by you or us, by arbitration pursuant to this Section 4 (Arbitration and Waivers) and the code of procedures of the national arbitration organization to which the claim is referred in effect at the time the claim is filed. Claims shall be referred to either Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”) or the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as selected by the party electing to use arbitration. For a copy of the procedures, to file a claim or for other information about these organizations, contact them as follows: (i) JAMS at 1920 Main Street, Suite 300, Los Angeles, CA 92614; website at www.jamsadr.com; and (ii) AAA at 335 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10017; website at www.adr.org.
In the event that JAMS, or the AAA is unable to handle the dispute for any reason, then the matter shall be arbitrated instead by a neutral arbitrator selected by agreement of the parties pursuant to the AAA rules of procedure; or, if the parties cannot agree, selected by a court in accordance with the FAA. To the extent that there is any variance between the selected forum’s rules and this Section 4 (Arbitration and Waivers), this Section 4 (Arbitration and Waivers) shall control.
If you initiate the arbitration, you must notify us in writing at 500 Westover Dr, Suite 13032, Sanford, NC 27330. If we initiate the arbitration, we will notify you in writing at your last known address in our file.
D. Class Action and Jury Waiver. NEITHER YOU NOR WE (I) HAVE THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE THAT CLAIM IN COURT OR HAVE A JURY TRIAL ON THAT CLAIM, (II) SHALL BE ENTITLED TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE DISPUTES BY OR AGAINST OTHERS IN ANY COURT ACTION OR ARBITRATION, (III) HAVE THE RIGHT TO INCLUDE IN ANY COURT ACTION OR ARBITRATION ANY DISPUTE AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR MEMBER OF ANY CLASS OF CLAIMANTS PERTAINING TO ANY CLAIM SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION, (IV) HAVE THE RIGHT TO ACT IN ANY ARBITRATION IN THE INTEREST OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY, UNLESS THOSE PERSONS ARE BENEFICIARIES ON YOUR ACCOUNT; OR (V) ENGAGE IN DISCOVERY EXCEPT AS PROVIDED FOR IN THE CODE OF PROCEDURES OF JAMS OR AAA, AS APPLICABLE (THE “CODE”). THIS IS SO WHETHER OR NOT THE CLAIM HAS BEEN ASSIGNED. NOTE THAT OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.
E. Location of Arbitration and Cost. Any arbitration shall take place in Portland, Oregon, unless the parties agree to a different location in writing. The party initiating the arbitration (or appeal of the first arbitration award) shall pay the initial filing fee. If you file the arbitration and an award is rendered in your favor, we will reimburse you for your filing fee. All fees and costs will be allocated in accordance with the rules of the arbitration forum. Each party shall bear the expense of their respective attorneys, experts, and witnesses and other expenses, regardless of who prevails, but the arbitrator will have the authority to award attorneys and expert witness fees and costs to the extent permitted by this Agreement, the forum’s rules, or applicable law.
F. Arbitration Procedures: This Section 4 (Arbitration and Waivers) is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce, and shall be governed by the FAA, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1-16, as it may be amended. The arbitration shall be governed by the applicable Code, except that (to the extent enforceable under the FAA) this Section 4 (Arbitration and Waivers) shall control if it is inconsistent with the applicable Code. The arbitrator shall apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law and, at the timely request of either party, shall provide a brief written explanation of the basis for the decision. In conducting the arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator shall not apply the Federal or any state rules of civil procedure or rules of evidence. Either party may submit a request to the arbitrator to expand the scope of discovery allowable under the applicable Code. The party submitting such a request must provide a copy to the other party, who may submit objections to the arbitrator with a copy of the objections provided to the request party, within fifteen (15) days of receiving the requesting party’s notice. The granting or denial of such request will be in the sole discretion of the arbitrator who shall notify the parties of his/her decision within twenty (20) days of the objecting party’s submission. The arbitrator shall take reasonable steps to preserve the privacy of individuals, and of business matters. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA. However, any party can appeal that award to a three-arbitrator panel administered by the same arbitration organization, as set forth in Section 4(B) (Binding Arbitration and Appeals).
G. Governing Law. You and we agree that in our relationship arising from this Agreement: (1) the parties are participating in transactions involving interstate commerce; (2) the arbitrator shall decide any dispute regarding the enforceability of this arbitration agreement; and (3) this arbitration agreement and any resulting arbitration are governed by the provisions of the FAA, and, to the extent any provision of that act is inapplicable, the laws of the State of Oregon. The arbitrator must apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations and claims of privilege recognized at law. At the timely request of either party, the arbitrator must provide a brief written explanation of the basis for the award.
H. Continuation and Severability. This Section 4 (Arbitration and Waivers) shall survive termination of your Account, Card, any voluntary payment of any debt owed to us and paid in full by you, any legal proceeding by us to collect a debt owed by you, and/or any bankruptcy by you or us. If any portion of this Section 4 (Arbitration and Waivers) of this Arbitration Section is deemed invalid or unenforceable under any principle or provision of law or equity, consistent with the FAA, it shall not invalidate the remaining portions of this Section 4 (Arbitration and Waivers), this Agreement, or any prior agreement you may have had with us, each of which shall be enforceable regardless of such invalidity.
A. Ordinary Care; No Fiduciary Obligation. You agree that any act or omission made by us in reliance upon or in accordance with any provision of the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in the State of Oregon, or any rule or regulation of the State of Oregon or a federal agency having jurisdiction over the Bank, shall constitute ordinary care. Unless otherwise specified or required by law, we do not assume any fiduciary obligation on your behalf. Unless required by law, this means that we do not act as your trustee or financial advisor, and we do not assume any responsibility for your Account beyond reasonable care.
B. Account Disputes. If a dispute arises concerning your Account (including, for example, a dispute over who is an authorized user or owner), or if we believe we have a claim against you or we have or receive a claim by a third party (including our affiliates) to all or a portion of the property (including money, certificates of deposit, securities and other investment property, financial assets, etc.) in your Account, or if we have concerns regarding your Account or the use of your Account, we have the right to hold any portion of the funds in your Account until the dispute, claim, or concern is resolved to our satisfaction. We will not be liable to you if the hold we place on your Account leaves insufficient funds to cover outstanding transactions. If the dispute, claim, or concern remains unresolved, you agree that we may at our option deposit the funds in your Account with a court and ask the court to determine to whom the funds belong. If we deposit your funds with a court, you agree that we may charge your Account for our costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses.
C. Governing Law, Forum, and Time Limits.
i. Governing Law. All Accounts are opened at the Oregon branch office of the Bank. All actions relating to your Account, including this Agreement and issuance of a Card, will be governed by the laws and regulations of the United States and the State of Oregon (to the extent that laws of the State of Oregon are not preempted by Federal law). Federal laws and the laws of the State of Oregon shall be applied without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law.
ii. Forum. To the extent any dispute arising under this Agreement or relating in any way to your Account or your relationship with us is not arbitrated, you consent to the jurisdiction of, and agree that such dispute will be resolved by the Federal or state court located in Multnomah County, Oregon.
iii. Time Limits. Subject to applicable law, you must file any lawsuit (to the extent permitted by this Agreement) or arbitration against us within one (1) year after the claim arises, unless Federal law or the laws of the State of Oregon or an applicable agreement requires a longer time. This limit is in addition to limits on notice as a condition to making a claim. If applicable law does not permit contractual shortening of the time during which a lawsuit must be filed to a period as short as one (1) year, you agree to the shortest permitted time under Oregon law. Any action against us must be brought within the period that the applicable law requires us to preserve records, unless applicable law or this Agreement provides a shorter limitation period.
D. Reporting Information. We may report information about your Account to consumer reporting agencies, governmental agencies, and/or third-party data services. Defaults on your Account may be reflected in your consumer report.
E. Changes in Terms and Termination. We may amend or revise the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including any Fees, and features of your Account at any time by posting a revised version here, and any such revisions or changes shall be effective upon posting. We will give you advance notice if we are required by applicable law. We may also amend or revise the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including any Fees, and features of your Account at any time by providing you notice. We may provide notice contemplated by this Section 5(E) (Changes in Terms and Termination) to you with your Account statement, electronically, or by mail. Any notice we provide to you will be binding and sent to the last (postal or electronic) address in our records. We may change your address if we receive an address change notice from the U.S. Postal Service or any third-party vendor. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, you may determine to cease use of or close your Account if you do not agree with any change or revision to this Agreement prior to the effective date of such revision. Any continued use of your Account is presumed your acceptance of and agreement to be bound by revisions to this Agreement. We may terminate this Agreement with or without notice at our discretion and at any time. Following the termination of this Agreement, you shall remain liable for any breach of your representations, warranties, covenants, and obligations during the term of this Agreement.
F. Security Interest. You grant us a security interest in your Account to secure payment of any money that you owe to us arising under this Agreement or any other agreements with us. You acknowledge and grant us the right to use any of the funds in your Account to cover any money you owe to us (a “right of set-off”). We have the right to set-off any liability, direct or contingent, past, present, or future that you owe against any account you have with us. This means that we can take any funds in your Account or any other account you have with us to pay any debt or liability you owe us. We may exercise our security interest or right of set-off without prior recourse to other sources of repayment or collateral, if any, and even if such action causes you to lose interest, incur any penalty or suffer any other consequence. If we exercise our security interest or right to set-off, we will notify you to the extent required by applicable law. If the law imposes conditions or limits on our ability to take or set off funds in your Account, to the extent that you may do so by contract, you waive those conditions and limits, and you authorize us to apply funds as we deem applicable. We may also exercise these rights against any Account beneficiary. These rights exist no matter who contributed the funds to the Account. We will consider your consent to this Agreement as your consent for us asserting our security interest or exercising our right of set-off should any laws governing your Account require your consent.
G. No Waiver of Rights. If we fail to exercise or waive a right with respect to your Account on one or more occasions, it does not mean we have waived, or are obligated to waive, the same right on any other occasion. We may release any other person obligated under this Agreement without affecting your responsibilities under this Agreement. In any event, no such waiver or delay by us is effective unless it is in writing and approved by us.
H. Assignment. Your Account is not transferable and is not assignable by you as collateral for a loan or for any other purpose. You may not assign this Agreement (by operation of law or otherwise). The Bank may transfer or assign its rights under this Agreement, including transferring or assigning your Account without your consent and without notice, unless required by applicable law.
I. Other Services and Conflicts. If you and Bank have entered into any other agreement related to additional bank products or services offered in connection with your Account (“Other Agreement”), this Agreement and the Other Agreement shall be read together as if one agreement. If any term of such Other Agreement conflicts with any term of this Agreement, this Agreement shall control. If any statement that is made by one of our employees, our affiliates’ employees, or by Service Provider or Service Provider’s employees or affiliates, conflicts with this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.
J. Privacy. You authorize us to collect, transmit, store, use, or share technical, location, and login or other information about you and your use of the Account, the Service Provider and third parties, unless applicable law or our Privacy Policy prohibits us from doing so. Please see our Privacy Notice for your choices about information sharing. We will use, share, and protect your personal information in accordance with our privacy policy, as it may be amended from time to time, and that is available here.
We periodically collect and use technical data and related information (for example, we may collect technical information about your Supported Device to facilitate the updates to our services).
Push notifications can be displayed on a locked or inactive device screen. Since it is possible to view this information even when your Supported Device is locked, you must maintain physical control over your Supported Device and/or turn off push notifications to prevent potential unauthorized use.
K. Severability. In the event that any court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Agreement is illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law which prohibits or renders unenforceable any provision hereof, and to the extent that such waiver is not permitted by applicable law, the parties intend that such provision be interpreted as modified to the minimum extent necessary to render such provision enforceable.
L. Limitation of Liability, Disclaimer of Warranty, Indemnification and Reimbursements.
i. Limitation of Liability. EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY LAW, WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIMS, COSTS, LOSSES, OR DAMAGES RESULTING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY FROM OUR FAILURE TO ACT, OR ANY DELAY BEYOND TIME LIMITS PRESCRIBED BY LAW OR PERMITTED BY THIS AGREEMENT IF SUCH FAILURE OR DELAY IS CAUSED BY MAINTENANCE OR INTERRUPTION OR MALFUNCTION OF EQUIPMENT OR COMMUNICATION FACILITIES, UNUSUAL TRANSACTION VOLUME, SUSPENSION OF PAYMENTS BY ANOTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTION, FIRE, NATURAL DISASTERS, ELEMENTS OF NATURE, GOVERNMENT ACTION, ACTS OF WAR, TERRORISM OR CIVIL STRIFE, EMERGENCY CONDITIONS, PANDEMICS OR ENDEMICS, OR OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND THE REASONABLE CONTROL OF THE BANK. IN NO EVENT WILL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY KIND EVEN IF YOU ADVISE US OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO ANY THIRD PARTY OR FOR ANY ACT OR OMISSION OF YOURS OR ANY THIRD PARTY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THIRD PARTIES USED BY US IN EXECUTING A PAYMENT ORDER OR TRANSACTION REQUEST OR PERFORMING A RELATED ACT AND NO SUCH THIRD PARTY SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE OUR AGENT. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY, WE SHALL ONLY BE RESPONSIBLE AND LIABLE FOR OUR OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT IN PERFORMING OUR OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. SUBJECT TO THE PRECEDING SENTENCE, OUR LIABILITY TO YOU FOR A CLAIM IS LIMITED TO THE FACE VALUE OF THE ITEM OR TRANSACTION, OR THE ACTUAL VALUE OF ANY FUNDS NOT PROPERLY CREDITED OR DEBITED. WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO ANY THIRD PARTY OR FOR ANY ACT OR OMISSION OF YOURS OR ANY THIRD PARTY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THIRD PARTIES USED BY US IN EXECUTING ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR PERFORMING A RELATED ACT AND NO SUCH THIRD PARTY SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE OUR AGENT. ALL BANK PRODUCTS AND SERVICES AND ACCOUNT FEATURES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THE BANK’S PRODUCTS OR SERVICES OR ACCOUNT FEATURES WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, BE CONTINUOUS, UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, TIMELY, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED. IN ADDITION, EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY LAW, WE ARE NOT LIABLE OR RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY SERVICES OR FEATURES OF THE SERVICE PROVIDER PLATFORM OR ANY OTHER PRODUCTS OR SERVICES PROVIDED TO YOU BY SERVICE PROVIDER. WE ARE ALSO NOT LIABLE FOR ANY UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS OF YOUR INFORMATION OR DATA BY A THIRD PARTY DUE TO YOUR USE OF THIRD-PARTY COMMUNICATION CHANNELS NOT OFFERED BY US. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND LACK OF VIRUSES RELATED TO THE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES AND/OR PRODUCTS OR SERVICES OF SERVICE PROVIDER AND/OR THE SERVICE PROVIDER PLATFORM.
YOU AGREE THAT THE AMOUNT OF ANY CLAIM YOU HAVE AGAINST US IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACCOUNT OR TRANSACTION WITH US, WHETHER BROUGHT AS A WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE, WRONGFUL DISHONOR, OR OTHER ACTION, IS SUBJECT TO REDUCTION TO THE EXTENT THAT: (1) NEGLIGENCE OR FAILURE TO USE REASONABLE CARE ON YOUR PART, OR ON THE PART OF ANY OF YOUR AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES, CONTRIBUTED TO THE LOSS WHICH IS THE BASIS OF YOUR CLAIM; AND (2) DAMAGES COULD NOT BE AVOIDED BY OUR USE OF ORDINARY CARE.
ANY LOSS RECOVERY YOU OBTAIN FROM THIRD PARTIES ON A PARTICULAR CLAIM WILL REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF ANY OBLIGATIONS WE MAY HAVE TO YOU ON THAT CLAIM AND YOU WILL IMMEDIATELY NOTIFY US OF ANY SUCH RECOVERY. YOU AGREE TO PURSUE ALL RIGHTS YOU MAY HAVE UNDER ANY INSURANCE POLICY YOU MAINTAIN IN CONNECTION WTH ANY LOSS AND TO PROVIDE US INFORMATION REGARDING COVERAGE. OUR LIABILITY WILL BE REDUCED BY THE AMOUNT OF ANY INSURANCE PROCEEDS YOU RECEIVE OR ARE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE IN CONNECTION WITH THE LOSS. IF WE REIMBURSE YOU FOR A LOSS COVERED BY INSURANCE, YOU AGREE TO ASSIGN US YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THE INSURANCE TO THE EXTENT OF YOUR REIMBURSEMENT.
ii. Indemnification. To the greatest extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold us and our officers, directors, shareholders, employees, successors, predecessors, representatives, principals, agents, assigns, parents, subsidiaries, and/or insurers harmless from any losses, damages, suits, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that we may (or they) incur, without regard to the merit or lack thereof, arising out of, or related in any way to: (i) taking any action or not taking any action that we are entitled to take pursuant to this Agreement; (ii) any action or omission by you; (iii) any misuse of the products or services hereunder by you or any third party within your control or on your behalf; (iv) the matters set forth herein; (v) our action or inaction in reliance upon oral, written, or electronic instructions or information from you or any of your authorized users; (vi) our provision or performance of the products or services under this Agreement or refusing to perform any transfer request or payment order in accordance with a transfer request or payment order; (vii) any delay, suspension, or cancellation of arrangements we made with respect to any transfer request or payment order when the rejection, suspension, or cancellation is for any reason permitted under this Agreement, including your cancellation of a payment order or transfer request for any reason; or (viii) any crediting or debiting of the Account, except where applicable law requires otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, if we comply with the provisions of this Agreement, you agree that we shall not be responsible for any communication or miscommunication by you or your authorized users, and you further agree to indemnify, to the extent allowed by law, us and hold us harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, expenses, suits, costs, or damages, demands, or liabilities of whatever kind or nature, whether now existing or hereafter relating in any way to a payment order, payment instruction, transfer request, or other payment related request or instruction made pursuant to this Agreement.
iii. Reimbursement for Losses. If we take any action to collect debt incurred by you or other amounts you owe us under this Agreement or defend ourselves in a lawsuit brought by you where we are the prevailing party, you agree to reimburse us for our losses and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the extent permitted by applicable law. We may charge your Account for our losses and expenses without prior notice to you.
M. Liability for Service Interruptions. From time to time, due to maintenance, malfunctions, or failures of software, equipment, or telecommunications devices, as well as unusual transaction volume or similar reasons, access to your Account may not be available to you. Access to your Account may also be interrupted as a result of things beyond our reasonable control, computer failures, loss of power, failure or interruption of communication or transportation facilities, riots, strikes, or civil unrest. You agree that we shall not be responsible for any loss, damages, costs, or expenses that you may suffer or incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of the unavailability of access to your Account, regardless of whether it could be shown that we could have prevented or reduced the duration of such unavailability by taking any action within our reasonable control. We shall also not be responsible for any loss, damages, costs, or expenses which you may suffer or incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of your inability to access your Account caused directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, by your computer or mobile device, your inability to establish a connection to or to access the Internet, or other limitations or constraints of the Internet. The provisions set forth in this Section 5(M) (Liability for Service Interruptions) shall apply in addition to any other provisions in this Agreement but as applied to service interruptions for access to your Account, this Section 5(M) (Liability for Service Interruptions) shall control.
N. Section Headings and Binding Effect. The headings in this Agreement are only for convenience and do not in any way limit or define your or our rights or obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement will be binding on your personal representatives, executors, administrators, and successors.
O. Change of Address or any Application Information. You must notify us through the Service Provider Platform of any change of address, email address, or phone number or any material change to information you provided us in your application to open an Account. Any notice we provide to you will be binding and sent to the last (postal or electronic) address in our records. We may change your address if we receive an address change notice from the U.S. Postal Service or if a company in the business of providing correct addresses informs us that the address in our records no longer matches your address.
P. Communications. You acknowledge that data, including emails, may be accessed by unauthorized third parties when communicated between you and the Bank, using the Internet, telephone, or other electronic devices. We are not responsible for any misdirected data or disclosures that occur as a result of your use of third-party electronic communication channels.
Q. Calls and Messages. You agree that we or our agents or service providers may contact you regarding any matter for any non- telemarketing reason using any kind of telecommunications technology at any email and telephone number you provide to us, including the phone number for your mobile device. You agree to receive these calls and messages, including pre-recorded or auto-dialed calls. You also agree that we may send text messages to any phone number for your mobile device you provide to us. You understand and accept that your service provider may charge you for these calls and messages consistent with applicable law. For quality control purposes and for other reasons, you permit us to record and monitor your telephone conversations and electronic communications with us (including email). Unless the law requires otherwise, you consent in advance to such recording and monitoring and we do not need to remind you of these activities at the time of the call or communication. To revoke the consent provided pursuant to this subsection, you must send ten (10) days’ prior written notice of such revocation to 500 Westover Dr, Suite 13032, Sanford, NC 27330.
R. Compliance with Laws and Rules. You acknowledge that any payment order, payment instruction, or transfer requests under this Agreement may not be used in violation of the laws of any state or jurisdiction, the United States or any other country, including without limitation laws administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control. You agree to comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, rules, regulations, including Protected Information and Operating Circulars and with (i) all applicable rules and operating guidelines issued by the National Automated Clearing House Association or other clearing agent and (ii) any policies and procedures, including any guide, guidelines and related procedures provided to you from time to time by us (collectively, the “Rules”). You will be responsible for knowing the requirements of the applicable Rules, and you will have the responsibility to fulfill any compliance requirement or obligation that we and/or you may have under the Rules applicable to this Agreement and of the products and services provided to you hereunder, including without limitation sanction laws administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, and other requirements relating to anti‐money laundering, including but not limited to the federal Bank Secrecy Act, the USA PATRIOT Act and any regulations of the U.S. Treasury Department to implement such Acts, as amended from time to time. Each time you make a transfer request, payment order, or transaction, you represent to us that each such transfer request, payment order, or transaction is bona fide and/or you conduct your business and originate payments, transactions, and/or other related activity in compliance with the applicable laws and Rules. You shall be liable for the amount of any fines and/or liabilities assessed against us for any violation of the Rules that are due to the acts or omissions of you or any other third-party providing products or services to you that in any way relate to the products or services under this Agreement.
S. Bankruptcy or Insolvency. You will immediately notify us of any bankruptcy, receivership, insolvency, or similar action initiated by or against you and will include us on the list of creditors as filed with the Bankruptcy Court and failure to do so will be cause for immediate termination or any other action available to us under applicable Laws or Rules. As an executory contract to make a loan or extend other debt financing or financial accommodations to or for the benefit of you, this Agreement cannot be assumed or assigned under your bankruptcy.
T. Survival. Termination of this Agreement shall not impact any right or obligation arising prior to termination, and in any event, the parties agree that any right or obligation which, by its nature, should survive termination of this Agreement will survive any such termination (including, but not limited to, Section 4 (Arbitration and Waivers) and Section 5 (Miscellaneous Terms) of this Agreement).
If you are subject to backup withholding, you may not access or use the Account. The Internal Revenue Code requires most recipients of dividends, interest, or other payments to give Taxpayer Identification Numbers to payors who must report payments to the Internal Revenue Service. The Internal Revenue Service uses the numbers for identification purposes and to verify the accuracy of your tax return.
If you fail to furnish a correct Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), you may be subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless such failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect. If you fail to furnish a TIN, the Bank may refuse to open your Account. The Bank may close an Account which was opened without a TIN and you fail to subsequently provide a TIN.
If you make a false statement with no reasonable basis that results in no imposition of backup withholding, you may be subject to a penalty of $500. Willfully falsifying certifications or affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including fines and/or imprisonment. If you disclose or use a TIN in violation of federal law, you may be subject to civil and criminal penalties.
A. General. In the event we make available to you wire transfers of funds from your Account(s) with us for credit to an account at another financial institution or another account with us (“Wire Transfer”), whether such transfers are domestic or international, this Section 7 (Wire Transfers) applies, in addition to the other terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. We will make available to you, from time to time, our policies, procedures, guidelines, and other writings governing the use of the Wire Transfer services by you, as may be amended or supplemented by Bank from time to time. If made available to you, you may send a Wire Transfer by submitting a request through the Service Provider Platform. When acting upon your Wire Transfer instructions, we may use any means of transmission, funds transfer system, clearing house, or intermediary bank that we reasonably select. We may make use of correspondents, agents, subagents, and funds transfer and communication systems. Such third parties shall be deemed your agents, and we shall not be liable for any errors, delay, mis-delivery, or failure of delivery by any of them unless applicable law says otherwise. The beneficiary, frequency, and dollar amount for any Wire Transfer may be limited. The limits are designed to be flexible in order to protect the security and integrity of the service and accounts, including any use by you or others of the service and your Account or any other person’s account. Based on confidential fraud and essential risk criteria, they may be modified at our discretion without advance notice. We reserve the right to reject any Wire Transfer request. We have no responsibility to accept any incoming Wire Transfer(s) for your benefit, and we may reject any Wire Transfer request(s) for an outgoing Wire Transfer for reasons including, but not limited to, insufficient or uncollected funds in the account specified in the Wire Transfer request, a request that fails the Security Procedures outlined herein, or if we are unable to verify the authenticity of the Wire Transfer request.
If you submit a Wire Transfer request to us, we will process it on the same business day (or next business day if the request is not made on a business day) so long as we receive the request no later than the Cut-Off Time (as defined below), subject to verification in accordance with the Security Procedures described in this Agreement. If it is received after the Cut-Off Time and verified through the Security Procedures, the Wire Transfer request may be processed the next business day. We may treat any Wire Transfer request received at or after our Cut-Off Time as if it was received that business day, or we may treat it as if it were received at the opening of the next business day, in our sole and absolute discretion. If we determine, in our sole discretion, not to honor, execute, or accept a Wire Transfer request, we may notify you, but are not obligated to and we shall have no liability for delay or failure to do so. We will also use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you promptly if a Wire Transfer is returned to us after its execution but shall have no liability by reason of our delay or failure to do so. We shall have no obligation to resend a Wire Transfer if we complied with the original Wire Transfer request and such Wire Transfer was returned to us.
You authorize us to debit or credit your Account immediately for an amount equal to the Wire Transfer request and any applicable Fees related to such Wire Transfer request. Your Wire Transfer requests may involve the transfer of funds from your Account to another account you have with us, to an account with any other financial institution, or to a third party or account of a third party maintained with us or with any other financial institution. You shall ensure sufficient funds on deposit in the Account with us for implementation of each Wire Transfer request. We will have no obligation to honor any Wire Transfer request which exceeds the balance of your immediately collected funds; provided, however, that you shall be liable for any amount which we elect to Wire Transfer in excess of such balance. You agree that we are authorized to debit the Account immediately for the Wire Transfer request, and you further agree that we are authorized to charge your Account a service Fee for each Wire Transfer request you place.
Wire Transfers to or from your Account will be governed by the rules of the funds transfer system(s) through which the transfers are made, including Fedwire, the National Automated Clearing House Association, the Electronic Check Clearing House Organization, any regional association (each an ACH), the Clearing House Interbank Payments System (CHIPS), the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (“SWIFT”) and the RTP system (“RTP System”) and UCC Article 4A. We are under no obligation to honor, in whole or in part, any payment order or other instruction that could result in our contravention of applicable law, including, without limitation, requirements of the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”). We are under no obligation to follow any Wire Transfer request or initiate any Wire Transfer, nor are we obligated to follow instructions cancelling or amending any Wire Transfer request, that do not afford us sufficient time to verify the authenticity of the instructions.
Once we receive a Wire Transfer request, it may not be able to be cancelled or amended. However, at our discretion, we may use reasonable efforts to act on any request for cancellation or amendment, provided that the method by which we are notified of a request for cancellation or amendment complies with the Security Procedures. However, we shall have no liability if such cancellation or amendment is not effected. You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any and all liabilities, claims, damages, costs, and expenses we may incur in attempting to cancel or amend the Wire Transfer. Any cancellation or amendment of a Wire Transfer by us shall relieve us of any obligation to act on the original Wire Transfer request.
It is your responsibility to ensure that we are provided with accurate, clear, and correct Wire Transfer requests and instructions, including beneficiary name and account number, in the manner and format prescribed by us, and that such Wire Transfer requests are given only by you. Further, you acknowledge that a failure to comply strictly with such procedures may delay or prevent implementation of Wire Transfer request(s) or result in transfers from your Account to unintended beneficiaries. You are liable for any incorrect, inaccurate, or unclear information. If you give us the name and account number of a beneficiary, we and other financial institutions may process the payment order based on the account number alone, even though the number may identify a person other than the beneficiary named. Any errors in the information, including misidentification of beneficiary(ies), incorrect or inconsistent account names and numbers, identifying number of intermediary bank or beneficiary bank, and misspellings, are your responsibility. We will not be liable if the beneficiary’s financial institution does not accept the Wire Transfer or accepts the Wire Transfer and then places the funds in a suspense or holding account because of the discrepancy. Unless applicable law requires otherwise, we will not be liable to you or any other person for any losses resulting from the beneficiary’s financial institution accepting and posting any Wire Transfer to an incorrect account, whether based on your Wire Transfer request or for other reasons unrelated directly to a material breach of this Agreement by us. Incorrect, unclear, or incomplete Wire Transfer requests may delay or prevent the processing of your Wire Transfer request or may result in transfers from your Account to unintended beneficiaries. If a Wire Transfer request does not designate the beneficiary’s financial institution, we may, in our discretion (i) accept the Wire Transfer request and make payment to any financial institution at which we have reason to believe the beneficiary maintains an account, or (ii) not accept the Wire Transfer request and seek further direction from you. In either of the foregoing situations, unless applicable law requires otherwise, we will not be liable for losses resulting from your failure to properly identify the financial institution where the beneficiary maintains an account. If a Wire Transfer request does not specify routing instructions, you will be deemed to have instructed us to send the wire through such correspondents as we determine in our sole discretion. You acknowledge that any administrative messages or comments conveyed with any Wire Transfer request shall be for its own internal reference and shall not be binding on us or alter the pertinent details of the Wire Transfer request. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, we are not required to accept Wire Transfer requests from you or any person acting or purporting to act on your behalf in a representative or fiduciary capacity, and we may refuse to accept any Wire Transfer requests in our sole and absolute discretion. We may also reject any incoming wire transfer. If we determine, in our sole discretion, not to honor, execute or accept a Wire Transfer request, we are under no obligation to inform you and shall not be liable for any failure to inform you. A Wire Transfer request is considered accepted by us when we execute it.
B. Security Procedures. In addition to the Security Procedures described in Section 3(T)(iii) (Security Procedures), Wire Transfer requests for domestic and international Wire Transfers will be subject the Bank’s required Security Procedures, which include without limitation, two factor authentication for the approver of the Wire Transfer request. In some cases, a Wire Transfer request may also be verified by means of a callback Security Procedure, under which we will call an authorized user on the Account to verify the authenticity of the Wire Transfer request.
C. Cut-Off Times. Wire Transfer requests for domestic and international Wire Transfers must be received and verified by 12:30 PM PST (the “Cut-Off Time”). We may treat any transfer request received at or after our Cut-Off Time as if it were received that business day or we may treat it as if it were received at the opening of the next business day. We are not required to make a Wire Transfer on the day a transfer request is received, unless the properly completed transfer request is received within a reasonable time before any Cut-Off Time we have established. We may use any means and routes that we, in our sole discretion, consider suitable for the transmission of funds, and we may make use of correspondents, agents, subagents, and funds transfer and communication systems. Such third parties shall be deemed your agents and we shall not be liable for any errors, delay, mis-delivery, or failure of delivery by any of them unless applicable law says otherwise. We are not responsible for delays or mistakes caused by other parties through whom we transmit funds.
D. International and Domestic Wire Transfers. Wire Transfers may be either domestic or international, provided, however, international Wire Transfers may not be sent by us through or into any country in violation of U.S. laws. All international Wire Transfers will be routed by us through one of our correspondent financial institutions. Domestic Wire Transfers will settle only in U.S. Dollars, and international Wire Transfers may be in a foreign currency if accepted at our discretion. Such international Wire Transfer may be converted to the currency of the destination country at a rate of currency exchange established by correspondent financial institution or the beneficiary financial institution. Even if you tell us that you want the Wire Transfer sent in U.S. dollars, we cannot guarantee that the beneficiary institution will receive the funds in U.S. currency or will not convert the Wire Transfer into another currency. The actual amount that the beneficiary/designated recipient receives may be reduced by fees and taxes imposed by the beneficiary bank, or a correspondent bank, including currency conversion charges.
E. Tax Payment Wire Transfer Request. Any Wire Transfer request which seeks to make payment of a tax obligation (the “Tax Wire Transfer”) must be submitted to us with the applicable documentation and the completed IRS taxpayer worksheet (where applicable) in compliance with our instructions and procedures and the terms of this Agreement. You acknowledge and understand that any Tax Wire Transfer may require additional time for processing and may require you to provide clarification and additional supporting documentation before the Tax Wire Transfer may be processed. You agree that you will submit any Tax Wire Transfer request in sufficient time in advance of your tax payment due date. We shall not be liable for any errors, delay, or failure of delivery of your IRS payment if the Tax Wire Transfer was not submitted by you with ample time for processing of the Tax Wire Transfer request.
F. Wire Transfers to a Beneficiary Bank. After the funds that are transferred to the beneficiary bank, the funds become the property of the beneficiary bank. The beneficiary bank is responsible to locate, identify, and make payment to your beneficiary. If your beneficiary cannot be properly identified, the funds may be returned.
G. Rejected, Revoked, Cancelled, or Returned Wire Transfer Requests. You acknowledge that Wire Transfer requests which are not made in the precise format prescribed in procedures provided to you by us may be released for transmission to the clearing agent, even though such transfer requests may be rejected by the clearing agent due to your failure to comply with format requirements or for other reasons. We cannot revoke or cancel a transfer request once it has been transmitted by you and we will not be liable to you if we cannot recover any funds already transferred. You agree that if the transfer request is returned for any reason, you will accept as repayment in full, the dollar amount of the transfer request, less appropriate Fees.
H. Delays or Non-Execution of Wire Transfer Requests. While we will handle your transfer requests as expeditiously as commercially reasonable, you agree that Bank will not be responsible for any delay, failure to execute, or mis‐execution of your Wire Transfer request due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including without limitation for the insolvency, neglect, misconduct, mistake, default, any inaccuracy, interruption, delay, or failure in the means of transmission, whether caused by strikes, power failure, equipment malfunctions, or acts or omissions of any bank, entity, or person whether or not that other bank, entity, or person is our agent. WE MAKE NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING AS TO THE FAILURE OF ANY INTERMEDIARY BANK OR BENEFICIARY BANK TO CREDIT YOUR BENEFICIARY WITH THE AMOUNT OF THE WIRE TRANSFER AFTER RECEIPT OF SAME WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTER. We reserve the right to delay or not to process Wire Transfer requests if we believe such Wire Transfer (a) relates to any internet gambling transactions or any illegal transactions; (b) relates to one or more beneficiaries listed on the Specially Designated National lists from the U.S. Department of Treasury; or (c) may violate any Executive Order of the President, Foreign Governmental Embargoes/Sanctions, directive of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, or other law, rule, or regulation.
I. Disclosures. We may disclose any information given to us that we, in our sole discretion, determine is necessary or desirable to disclose; except we will only disclose confidential information if required by law, a court, or legal, regulatory, or governmental authority, or as permitted by law in order to combat, prevent, or investigate issues arising under anti-money laundering laws, economic sanctions, or criminal law. Sometimes legal, regulatory, or governmental authorities require additional information, either in respect of individuals, entities, or particular transactions. You agree to promptly supply all such information, which any such authority may require, and/or which we may be required to supply, in relation to the individual, entity, or particular transaction. If you, or any of your authorized users, breach any such laws or regulations, you irrevocably agree that we may retain any monies or funds transmitted to us pursuant to this Agreement and/or not fulfill any Wire Transfer request if we are required to take or refrain from such action by any legal, regulatory, or governmental authority or if we reasonably believe that such action may violate any laws or regulations described herein, and such monies shall not bear interest against us. You further agree that we may pay such monies to the appropriate legal, regulatory, or governmental authority, if and when required by law.
J. Currency. If we receive an incoming international wire transfer for payment into your Account that was remitted in a currency other than U.S. dollars, we will convert the amount of the payment into U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rate for credit to your Account. The exchange rates we use for your transactions are not necessarily the bank-to-bank negotiated exchange rate or other potentially more favorable rate. You consent to our doing this without prior notice to you. FDIC deposit insurance does not insure against any loss due to foreign currency fluctuations. If for any reason we do not receive covering payment from the remitting or intermediary bank in respect of an incoming international Wire Transfer we have credited to your Account, you agree to allow us to debit your Account for the amount credited under such incoming international Wire Transfer. Wire Transfers sent to foreign countries may be converted to the currency of the destination country at our rate of currency exchange for remittance transfers. We cannot guarantee that the beneficiary/designated recipient will receive the funds in U.S. currency. The actual amount that the beneficiary/designated recipient receives may be reduced by fees and taxes imposed by the beneficiary bank, or a correspondent bank, including currency conversion charges.
K. Special Rules for Remittance Transfers. The following special rules apply to any “Remittance Transfer” contemplated under Subpart B of federal Regulation E (e.g., any “remittance transfer” as defined under 12 C.F.R. 1005.30(e)):
i. In General. Remittance Transfers must be received and processed by us before the Cut-off Time. However, because of certain regulatory requirements and our processing times, you understand and agree that any Remittance Transfer requests that we receive after the Cut-off Time may be refused. Federal law provides certain rights and obligations related to Remittance Transfers that may differ from rights and obligations that apply to other types of funds transfers, including disclosure, cancellation, and error resolution rights.
ii. Additional Disclosures. At the time you request a Remittance Transfer, but before your Account is debited, you will be shown a receipt disclosure that includes the following items in the currency in which the transfer will be funded: (i) your requested transfer amount; (ii) any Fees or taxes we impose; (iii) the total amount of the transaction (which is the sum of (i) and (ii)); (iv) the exchange rate we will use in the event you tell us that the receiving account is denominated in a foreign currency and you identify such currency; (v) the date the funds will be available to the recipient; (vi) information you provide that identifies the recipient; and (vii) a statement of your rights in the event of an error or if you wish to cancel the transfer, as described below. In addition, if you identify the foreign currency in which the transfer is to be received and we are required to disclose fees imposed by third parties, the disclosure will also include the following items in such foreign currency: (i) the requested transfer amount; (ii) the fees imposed by third parties in connection with the transfer; and (iii) the total amount to be received by the recipient (which is the difference between (i) and (ii)). Note that the recipient may receive less than the total amount disclosed due to foreign taxes and fees charged by the recipient’s financial institution for receiving a Remittance Transfer into an account, which are not required to be disclosed. You understand and agree (and you are hereby notified) that in the event you provide an incorrect account number of institutional identifying number, and we are not able to recover the funds, you may lose the amount of the payment order.
iii. Errors or Problems with your Remittance Transfer. If you think there has been an error or problem with your Remittance Transfer, contact us at help@exhalefi.com. You must contact us within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date we indicated to you that funds would be made available to the recipient. When you contact us, please tell us the following:
We will determine whether an error occurred within ninety (90) days after you contact us and we will correct any error(s) promptly. We will tell you the results within three (3) business days after completing our investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation. You may ask for copies of any documents we used in our investigation.
iv. What To Do If You Want to Cancel a Remittance Transfer. You have the right to cancel a Remittance Transfer and obtain a refund of all funds paid to us, including any Fees, within thirty (30) minutes of your confirmation of the transfer. The best way to cancel a Remittance Transfer is to call us at (844) 925-2777. When you contact us, you must provide us with information to help us identify the transfer you wish to cancel, including the amount and location where the funds were sent. We will refund your money within three (3) business days of your request to cancel a transfer as long as the funds have not already been picked up or deposited into a recipient’s account.
When a deposit is made to your Account, the funds may not be available immediately. This Section 8 (Deposit Availability Disclosure) describes when funds will be made available to you.
A. Delays. We may delay the availability of funds from certain types of deposits to your Account. There are exceptions that may apply in certain circumstances (e.g., if you have overdrawn your Account repeatedly in the last six (6) months or there is an emergency). During the delay, you may not withdraw funds and may not use the funds. We will notify you if we delay the availability of your funds if required by law, and we will tell you when you can expect your funds to be available if required by law.
B. Deposits. Any transaction that you conduct on Saturday, Sunday, a federal holiday, or other days on which we are closed will be handled the following business day. If we receive a deposit before 2:30 PM PST on a business day, we will consider that business day to be the day of your deposit. However, if we receive a deposit after 2:30 PM PST or on a non-business day, we will consider the deposit as having been made the next business day. Deposits may only be made by EFT, which includes direct deposits.
C. Next Day Availability. Funds from the following deposits are available on the first Business Day after the day we receive your deposit: The first $225.00 of check deposits.
D. Second Business Day. Unless otherwise provided by this Agreement, all other funds from deposits will be made on the second business day after the day of your deposit.
E. Longer Delays May Apply. Funds you deposit may be delayed for longer than two (2) business days under the following circumstances: (i) we believe a check deposit you initiated will not be honored; (ii) your deposits total more than $5,525 in any one day; (iii) you have overdrawn your Account repeatedly in the last six (6) months; or (iv) there is an emergency, such as failure of communications or our systems. If we delay availability for one of these reasons, funds may not be available until the seventh business day after the day of your deposit. We will notify you if we delay your ability to withdraw funds for any of these reasons, and we will tell you when the funds will be available. If you will need the funds from a deposit right away, you should ask us when the funds will be available.
F. Special Rules for New Accounts. If you are a new customer, the following special rules will apply during the first thirty (30) days your Account is open. Funds from electronic direct deposits to your Account will be available on the day we receive the deposit. Funds from deposits of cash, wire transfers, and, if made available, the first $5,525 of a day's total deposits of cashier's, certified, teller's, travelers, and federal, state and local government checks will be available on the same business day we receive your deposit if the deposit meets certain conditions. The excess over $5,525 will be available on the ninth business day after the day of your deposit. Funds from all other check deposits may not be available until the third business day after the day of your deposit.
G. Availability of ACH Transfer and EFT Deposits. Funds from ACH Transfers or EFTs that you initiate through another bank will generally be available on the next business day after the day the ACH Transfer or EFT is deemed to be received by us. An ACH Transfer or EFT debit to a Linked Account or any other external account that we originate on your behalf will generally be made available on the third business day after the date the ACH Transfer or EFT is deemed to be received and processed by us. Once they are available, you can use the funds for EFTs and ACH Transfers. Even after we have made funds available to you and you have withdrawn the funds, you remain responsible if any deposit to your Account is returned, rejected, or otherwise uncollected by the Bank.
A. Rate Information. Your Account is not an interest-bearing account.
B. Minimum Balance Requirements. No minimum balance requirements apply to your Account.
C. Transaction Limitations. You may not make transactions that would cause you to exceed the available balance in your Account. If you have one or more sub-accounts, you may not make transactions with any sub-account that would cause you to exceed the available balance in the Account. If you exceed these limits, we may close, suspend, or freeze your Account.
D. Fees and Charges. Please refer to the Fee Schedule for information about fees and charges associated with your Account.
A. Electronic Fund Transfers: Your Rights and Responsibilities. This Section 10 (Electronic Fund Transfers) contains important information about your use of electronic fund transfer (“EFT”) services provided by the Bank in connection with your Account. Whenever you accept or authorize EFTs to your Account, you agree to these terms and conditions, in addition to any other applicable limitations in this Agreement concerning deposits to and withdrawals from your Account.
B. Limits on the Type, Frequency or Amount of EFTs. Your Account may be subject to limitations on the amount or number of withdrawals that you may make from your Account, including EFTs. For security reasons, we may also, in our sole discretion, set limits on the dollar amounts of EFTs and on the number of EFTs that may be requested or initiated. To protect the security of the Bank or your Account, we may suspend your use of EFTs, as permitted by law.
C. Managing Your Account Balance. You agree that the amount of any EFT debit transaction you authorize will not exceed the available balance in your Account. We do not have to allow any EFT that would create an overdraft in your Account. We may in our sole discretion choose to permit an EFT that would create an overdraft in your Account. If we are unable to complete an EFT or perform any other EFT service for any reason associated with your Account, the EFT or other service may not be completed and we will not notify you unless required by applicable law.
D. Your Rights and Responsibilities. The use of EFT services described in this Agreement creates certain rights and responsibilities regarding these services as described below.
E. Documentation of Your EFTs. All EFT transactions will be reported on your periodic statement. If you have arranged to have direct deposits made to your Account at least once every sixty (60) days, the company making the deposit may tell you every time they send us the money. You may also email us at help@exhalefi.com to find out whether or not the deposit has been made. You may write to us at help@exhalefi.com to find out whether any EFT you request was successfully completed.
F. Preauthorized and Other Regular (Automatic) Debits. If you have told us in advance to make regular payments out of your Account, you can stop any of the payments. Here is how: Email to us at help@exhalefi.com in time for us to receive your request three (3) business days or more before the payment is scheduled to be made. If you contact us to stop a payment, please have the following information ready: (i) your Account number, (ii) the date the transfer is to be made, (iii) to whom the transfer is being made, and (iv) the amount of the scheduled transfer. If you call, we may also require you to put your request in writing and get it to us within fourteen (14) days after you call. We may charge you (see Fee Schedule) for each stop-payment order you give. Stop-payment orders may expire after six (6) months from the date of your stop-payment request, and you may be required to renew it in order to ensure its continued effectiveness.
G. Liability for Failure to Stop Payment of Preauthorized Transfer. If you order us to stop a preauthorized automatic debit three (3) business days or more before the transfer is scheduled and we do not do so, we will be liable for your losses or damages.
H. Notice of Varying Amounts. If you have authorized regular payments out of your Account, and these regular payments may vary in amount, we or the person you are going to pay will tell you, ten (10) days before each payment, when it will be made and how much it will be. You may choose instead to get this notice only when the payment would differ by more than a certain amount from the previous payment, or when the amount would fall outside certain limits that you set.
I. Our Refusal to Pay a Preauthorized or Other Regular (Automatic) Debit. We reserve the right to refuse to pay a regular (automatic) debit, for example, if your Account has insufficient funds to cover such transfer or if we are unable to verify the ownership of or other information about the account to which the funds will be transferred. You may write to us at help@exhalefi.com to request information about a refusal by us to pay a regular (automatic) debit.
J. Your Liability for Unauthorized Transfers. During your Account set-up, you will create Credentials to protect your Account from unauthorized access. You are responsible for maintaining ownership of the mobile device associated with the phone number and security of your other Credentials. Tell us AT ONCE if you believe that any Credentials or device you use to access your Account has been lost or stolen, that an EFT has been made without your permission, or that someone has transferred or may transfer money from your Account without your authorization. You may write to us at help@exhalefi.com or such other address as we may provide to you from time to time. You could lose all the money in your Account. If you tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Credentials or device, your liability will be limited to $50 if someone accesses your Account without your authorization. If you DO NOT tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of the lost or theft of your Credentials or device, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your Credentials or device without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500. Also, if your statement shows transfers that you did not make, tell us AT ONCE. If you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after the statement was mailed or made available to you, you may not get back any money you lost after the sixty (60) days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money had you told us in time. If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods. If you grant authority to make transfers to another person who exceeds the authority granted, you are fully liable for any transfers until you notify us that transfers by that person are no longer authorized.
K. In Case of Errors or Questions about your EFTs. Write to us at help@exhalefi.com as soon as you can, if you think your statement or receipt is wrong or if you need more information about a transfer listed on the statement or receipt. We must hear from you no later than sixty (60) days after we send or make available the FIRST statement on which the problem or error appeared.
i. Tell us your name and your Account number (if any).
ii. Describe the error or transfer you are unsure about and explain as clearly as you can why you believe it is an error or why you need more information.
iii. Tell us the dollar amount of the suspected error.
If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your complaint or question in writing within ten (10) business days.
We will determine whether an error occurred within ten (10) business days after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to forty-five (45) days to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will credit your Account within ten (10) business days for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have use of the money during the time it takes us to complete our investigation. If we ask you to put your complaint or question in writing and we do not receive it within ten (10) business days, we may not credit your Account. For errors involving new Accounts, point-of-sale, or foreign-initiated transactions, we may take up to ninety (90) days to investigate your complaint or question. For new Accounts, we may take up to twenty (20) days to credit your Account for the amount you think is in error. We will tell you the results within three (3) business days after completing our investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation. You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation.
L. Our Liability for Failure to Make a Transfer. If we do not complete a transfer to or from your Account on time or in the correct amount according to this Agreement, we will be liable for your losses or damages. However, there are some exceptions. We will not be liable, for instance:
M. Charges for Transfers or the Right to Make Transfers. We may assess a Fee for each EFT or stop-payment order. Please refer to our Fee Schedule to determine the applicable amount.
N. Confidentiality. We will disclose information to third parties about your Account or the transfers you make:
i. Where it is necessary for completing transfers;
ii. In order to verify the existence and condition of your Account for a third party, such as a credit bureau or merchant;
iii. In order to comply with government agency or court orders;
iv. To persons authorized by law in the course of their official duties;
v. To our employees, auditors, service providers, attorneys, or collection agents in the course of their duties;
vi. As disclosed in our Privacy Policy; and/or
vii. If you give us your written permission.
P. Termination. We reserve the right to terminate your use of any or all of our EFT services for any reason and at any time without notifying you. You also have the right to terminate your use of the EFT services described in this Agreement at any time by calling us or writing to us. If you call, we may require you to put your request in writing and get it to us within ten (10) business days after you call. Please note that e-mail, SMS/text, or online notification will not meet the notice requirements of this Section 10(P) (Termination). If you terminate your use of our EFT services and you have arranged for automatic (regular) transfers involving third parties, you are required to inform any third parties that the transfers will cease. Any termination of your use of our EFT services, whether initiated by you or us, will not affect any of your or our rights and obligations under this Agreement that have arisen before the effective date of such termination.
A. What is a Substitute Check? To make check processing faster, federal law permits banks to replace original checks with “substitute checks.” These substitute checks are similar in size to original checks with a slightly reduced image of the front and back of the original check. The front of a substitute check states: “This is a legal copy of your check. You can use it the same way you would use the original check.” You may use a substitute check as proof of payment just like the original check. Some or all the checks that you receive back from us may be substitute checks. This Section 11 (SUBSTITUTE CHECKS AND YOUR RIGHTS) describes the rights you have when you receive substitute checks from us. The rights in this Section 11 (SUBSTITUTE CHECKS AND YOUR RIGHTS) do not apply to original checks or to electronic debits to your Account. However, you have rights under other law with respect to those transactions.
B. What are My Rights Regarding Substitute Checks? In certain cases, federal law provides a special procedure that allows you to request a refund for losses you suffer if a substitute check is posted to your Account (for example, if you think that we withdrew the wrong amount from your Account or that we withdrew money from your Account more than once for the same check). The losses you may attempt to recover under this procedure may include the amount that was withdrawn from your Account and any fees that were charged as a result of the withdrawal.
C. How Do I Make a Claim for a Refund? If you believe that you have suffered a loss relating to a substitute check that you received and that was posted to your Account, please contact us at help@exhalefi.com. You must contact us within forty (40) days after the date that we mailed (or otherwise delivered by a means to which you agreed) the substitute check in question or the Account statement showing that the substitute check was posted to your Account, whichever is later. We will extend this time period if you were not able to make a timely claim because of extraordinary circumstances. Your claim must include:
The amount of your refund under this procedure is limited to the amount of your loss or the amount of the substitute check, whichever is less. If your loss exceeds the amount of the substitute check, you may be able to recover additional amounts under other law. If you use this procedure, you may receive up to $2,500 of your refund within ten (10) business days after we receive your claim and the remainder of your refund not later than forty-five (45) days after we receive your claim. We may reverse the refund if we later are able to demonstrate that the substitute check was correctly posted to your Account.
