Master Service Agreement


Deposit Account Terms & Conditions

General Agreement. The terms “you” and “your” refer to the depositor and the terms “we”, “us” and “our” refer to the financial institution. The acronym “NOW” means Negotiable Order of Withdrawal. If you are an entity or individual eligible to open such account, you understand that the following Deposit Account Terms & Conditions, and all applicable addenda, schedules, exhibits, and any other documents applicable to your account, such as our Funds Availability Policy and Privacy Policy (“Disclosures”), which are incorporated herein by reference (collectively, this “Deposit Agreement”) governs your use of your deposit account and other banking services you obtain from us.

About Your Account. In our discretion, we may establish your account as an individual consumer or commercial deposit account or an interest in a consumer or commercial deposit account owned and controlled by us, in which your funds are held by us for your benefit. Your funds may be pooled with the funds of other depositors.

General Rules. The following rules apply to your account:

Account Opening. To help the United States Government fight terrorism and money laundering, Federal law requires us to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or business that opens an account or establishes a relationship. Accounts are opened subject to our ability to identify you and the signatures of each signer on the account. We may require one piece of suitable identification with your signature or photograph on it. When you open an account, we may obtain a report from a reporting agency regarding your past handling of banking services. We require a tax identification number for all accounts. Additional documentation about your business that we may require is determined by the type and nature of business you are operating. You are responsible for providing us with amended documents should the information contained in your documentation change. This is especially important if there is a change in the officers or signing authority of your business. We cannot be responsible for losses you sustain if you fail to inform us of changes in the authority of your representatives to conduct your banking business. We may also require other information related to the business entity. If we are not able to validate the identity or authenticity of the Account Owner or the business entity to our satisfaction, we may not open the Account. If we are unable to validate the identity of an Account Owner, we may not provide access to the Account or issue the Card.

Deposits. Deposits may be made electronically or in another form and manner as agreed by us in our sole discretion. If we agree to accept deposits by mail, we are not responsible for transactions initiated by mail until we actually receive and record them. We may refuse to accept checks or similar instruments as a deposit to your account at our discretion. The terms of our Funds Availability Policy will control the determination of the banking day deposits that are deemed received by us and when they will be available for withdrawal. If any check or similar instrument you deposit to your account is returned unpaid, we have the right to debit your account for the amount of such item and adjust any related interest earned. You will, in any event, be liable to us for the amount of any check or similar instrument you deposit to your account that is returned unpaid, plus our costs and expenses associated with collection of all or any part of such an amount from you, including reasonable attorney fees. Deposits may be subject to a service charge.

Collection of Deposited Items. In receiving items for deposit or collection, we act only as your agent and assume no responsibility beyond the exercise of ordinary care. All items are credited subject to final settlement in cash or credits. We shall have the right to forward items to correspondents including all Federal Reserve Banks, and we shall not be liable for default or neglect of said correspondents for loss in transit, nor shall any correspondent be liable except for its own negligence. You specifically authorize us or our correspondents to utilize Federal Reserve Banks to handle such items in accordance with provisions of Regulation J (12 CFR Part 210), as revised or amended from time to time by the Federal Reserve Board. In the event we are subject to local clearing house rules, you specifically authorize us to handle such items in accordance with the rules and regulations of the clearing house. If we permit you to withdraw funds from your account before final settlement has been made for any deposited item, and final settlement is not made, we have the right to charge your account or obtain a refund from you. In addition, we may charge back any deposited item at any time before final settlement for whatever reason. We shall not be liable for any damages resulting from the exercise of these rights. Except as may be attributable to our lack of good faith or failure to exercise ordinary care, we will not be liable for dishonor resulting from any reversal of credit, return of deposited items or for any damages resulting from any of those actions. This provision also applies to any remotely created check that you may deposit into your account. A remotely created check, as defined in Regulation CC, means a check that is not created by the paying bank and that does not bear a signature applied, or purported to be applied, by the person on whose account the check is drawn. By having a deposit account with us, you certify that all remotely created checks deposited to your account(s) will be expressly and verifiably authorized by the payor. And we reserve the right to refuse for deposit 2any such remotely created check if we have any reason to believe that the item is fraudulent in any manner, and to obtain from you the payor’s express, verifiable authorization for any such item.

Unlawful Internet Gambling. Restricted transactions are prohibited from being processed through your account with us as required by the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 and Regulation GG. A restricted transaction is a transaction or transmittal involving any credit, funds, instrument, or proceeds in connection with the participation of another person in unlawful Internet gambling. You will notify us if your practices regarding Internet gambling change in the future.

Set-Offs & Liens. We may set-off funds in your account and any other accounts held by you to pay any debt you may owe us. In addition, you grant to us a security interest in your deposit accounts to secure any debt you may owe us in any non-consumer transaction. We will not be liable for the dishonor of any check when the dishonor occurs because we set off a debt against this account. You agree to hold us harmless from any claim arising as a result of our exercise of our right of setoff.

Claims. In response to any garnishment, attachment, restraining order, injunction, levy, citation to discover assets, judgment, reclamation, other order of court or other legal process (“Claim(s)”), we have the right to place a hold on, remove from your account(s) and/or remit to the designated third-party(ies) any amount on deposit in your account(s) as set forth in and required by such Claim(s). In addition, we may charge against your account(s) any fee authorized by law in connection with the Claim(s) or as otherwise set forth in the Fee Schedule.

Expenses. You agree to be liable to us for any loss, cost or expense that we incur as a result of any dispute, attachment, garnishment, levy or subpoena of records involving your account, including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by law, and you authorize us to deduct such loss, cost or expense from your account without prior notice to you.

Dormant/Inactive Accounts. You understand that if your account is dormant or inactive, you may be charged the fee specified in the Disclosures and we may stop paying interest to the extent permitted by law. If your account is inactive for a period of 12 months, we may classify your account as dormant. To return a dormant account to inactive status, you must complete a deposit transaction or transfer between existing accounts. However, we must provide you with a written notice of the pending charges before charging any fee. You understand that your account balance may be escheated (that is, turned over to the state) in accordance with state law if your account is considered inactive or abandoned for a specified period of time determined by the relevant state law. You will then need to apply to the state for return of your funds.

Escrow, Trust, Fiduciary & Custodial Accounts. When your account is set up as an escrow, trust, fiduciary or custodial account, it is your sole responsibility to determine the legal effects of opening and maintaining an account of this nature. We have no obligation to act as trustee or to inquire into your powers or responsibilities over this account. We reserve the right to require the documentation necessary under applicable law to establish, maintain, manage, and close this account. There may be additional terms and conditions that apply to this account that are governed by a separate agreement.

Additional Documents to Open Account. You agree to supply us with a separate authorization informing us of the signer(s), if requested to do so and to provide any other related document requested by us.

Signatures. Your signature on the Signature Card is your authorized signature. You authorize us, at any time, to charge you for all checks, drafts, or other orders for the payment of money, that are drawn on us regardless of by whom or by what means(including facsimile signature(s)) may have been affixed so long as they resemble the 3signature specimen in our files. For withdrawal and for other purposes relating to any account you have with us, we are authorized to recognize your signature; and we will not be liable to you for refusing to honor signed instruments or instructions if we believe in good faith that one or more of the signatures appearing on the instrument or instruction is not genuine. If your items are signed using any facsimile signature or non-manual form of signature, you acknowledge that it is solely for your benefit and convenience. You agree that no facsimile signature you have authorized us to honor may be considered a forgery or an unauthorized signature, and that every authorized facsimile signature shall be effective as the signatory’s own original, manual signature. You accept sole responsibility for maintaining security over any device affixing the signature as such signature will be effective regardless of whether the person affixing it was authorized to do so. Your authorization notwithstanding, we are not obligated to accept or pay any items bearing facsimile signatures. Further, most checks and other items are processed automatically, i.e., without individual review of each check or item. Therefore, unless we agree in a separate writing, in our sole discretion, upon your request and due to unique circumstances to conduct individual review of checks or other items for more than one signer, you agree that we are acting within common and reasonable banking practices by automatically processing checks and other items, i.e., without individual review of each check or item. You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold us harmless from and against all loss, costs, damage, liability, and other injury (including reasonable attorney fees) that you or we may suffer or incur because of this practice.

Restrictive Legends. We are not required to honor any restrictive legend on checks you write unless we have agreed to the restriction in a writing signed by an officer of the financial institution. Examples of restrictive legends are “two signatures required”, “must be presented within 90 days” or “not valid for more than $1,000.00.”

Fees, Service Charges & Balance Requirements. You agree to pay us and are responsible for any fees, charges or balance/deposit requirements as provided in the Fee Schedule or Disclosures. We also reserve the right to impose a service charge for cashing checks drawn on your account if the person cashing the check is not a customer of this financial institution.

Amendments &Alterations. If required by applicable law, notice will be given to you if we change the terms of this Deposit Agreement at any time by delivering the notice to your address shown on our records or by another method agreed upon, by posting a notice of any such changes at our main office, or by whatever notice requirements that may be required by law.

Notice. You are responsible for notifying us of any address change or other information affecting your account. Notices must be in a form and manner acceptable to us with enough information to allow us to identify the account. Notice sent by you to us is not effective until we have received it and have a reasonable opportunity to act on it. Written notice sent by us to you is effective when mailed to the last address supplied to us.

Certified Beneficial Owner Information. If you are obligated to certify beneficial owner information at the time the account is opened, you are responsible for notifying us of any changes to the certified beneficial ownership information that was provided to us. Notice should be made to us as soon as practical upon a change to the beneficial ownership information in a form and manner acceptable to us.

Telephone & Electronic Communication. You agree that we may call or send text messages to you at the telephone numbers that you provide to us, including a cell phone number for informational and account service purposes regarding your account(s) with us. It may include contact from companies working on our behalf to service your accounts. Message and data rates may apply. These calls and text messages may be made from an automatic telephone dialing system (i.e., an auto dialer) or from an artificial or prerecorded voice message 4system. Additionally, you agree that we may send electronic communications to you at the email addresses you provide to us. You may contact us at any time if you no longer want to receive these communications from us. If your account is a consumer account, you may be required to execute a separate consent to communicate with us by electronic means (“E-Sign Consent”) before you begin receiving electronic communications from us. To revoke your consent to electronic communications, you need to follow the actions described in the E-Sign Consent.

Closing Account. We may close the account at any time, with or without cause, after sending you notice if advance notice is required by law. If applicable, a notice may be sent to you that specifies when the account will be closed. At our discretion, we have the authority to pay an otherwise properly payable item, which is presented after the closing of your account. Such termination will not release you from any fees or other obligations incurred before the termination. We will send a payment for the balance in our possession to which you are entitled.

Transfers & Assignments. You cannot assign or transfer any interest in your account unless we agree in writing.

Effective Applicable Laws & Regulations. You understand that this Deposit Agreement is governed by the laws of the state where this account is opened except to the extent that federal law is controlling and includes, but is not limited to, Article 4A of the Uniform Commercial Code. Changes in these laws and regulations may modify the terms and conditions of your account. We do not have to notify you of these changes, unless required to do so by law. If any of the terms of this Deposit Agreement conflict with applicable law and are declared to be invalid or unenforceable, those terms will be ineffective to the extent of the conflict and the applicable law will govern. The remaining provisions will remain unaffected.

Checks. All negotiable paper (“checks”) presented for deposit must be in a format that can be processed, and we mayrefuse to accept any check that does not meet this requirement. All endorsements on the reverse side of any check deposited into your account must be placed on the left side of the check when looking at it from the front, and the endorsement must be placed to not go beyond an area located 1-1/2 inches from the left edge of the check when looking at it from the front. It is your responsibility to ensure that these requirements are met, and you are responsible for any loss incurred by us for failure of an endorsement to meet this requirement.

Electronic Checks. Pursuant to Regulation CC, electronic checks may be treated the same as paper checks for check collection and processing purposes.

Substitute Checks. To make check processing faster, federal law permits financial institutions to replace original checks with “substitute checks.” These 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 check(s).

Non-Sufficient Funds & Overdrafts. Overdrafts may be determined by your available balance or account ledger balance. If your account lacks sufficient funds available to pay a check, preauthorized transfer, or other debit activity presented for payment, we may (1) return the item, or (2) pay the item at our discretion. If we return the item without paying it, we may charge you a non-sufficient funds return item fee. If we do pay the item on your behalf, you will be responsible to pay the overdrawn balance and an overdraft fee and insufficient funds per item fees. Overdrafts may be covered by our standard overdraft practice that comes with your account or an overdraft protection plan, such as a link to an account or a line of credit. As part of our standard overdraft practice, we do not authorize and pay overdrafts on ATM or everyday debit card transactions unless you request us to do so. Our handling of these items may subject your account to a fee as disclosed in the Fee Schedule or other Disclosures. Unless we advise you otherwise, we will process checks and other debit items in an order determined in our sole discretion.

Stop Payments. If you request us to stop payment on a check you have written or on an electronic funds transfer (EFT) debit transfer, you will give written or other confirmation as allowed by us within 14 days of making the request. If you fail to confirm an oral stop payment request within the 14 days, we reserve the right to cancel the request. Your stop payment request must describe the item or account with reasonable certainty, and we must receive the request in a time and way that gives us a reasonable opportunity to act on it. Stop payments on checks or drafts are effective for 6 months. Stop payments on EFT debit transfers will remain in effect until the earliest of either your withdrawal of the stop payment order; the return of the debit entry; or, six months from the date of the stop payment order, unless it is renewed in writing. The stop payment request of a recurring preauthorized transfer will suspend all further payment to the stated payee under this stated payment schedule until you notify us to resume. You will be charged a fee every time you request a stop payment, even if it is a continuation of a previous stop payment request. You understand that we may accept the stop payment request from any of the authorized signers of the account regardless of who signed the check or authorized the transfer. Our acceptance of a stop payment request does not constitute a representation by us that the item has not already been paid or that we have had a reasonable opportunity to act on the request. We may accept a stop payment request on lost or stolen checks, whether a single check or a series, unless our policy requires, we open a new account for you to ensure your security. Written communication includes communication by electronic record. If you stop payment on an item and we incur any damages or expenses because of the stop payment, you agree to indemnify us for those damages or expenses, including attorneys’ fees. You assign to us all rights against the payee or any other holder of the item. You agree to cooperate with us in any legal actions that we may take against such persons. You should be aware that anyone holding the item may be entitled to enforce payment against you despite the stop-payment order. If your account is a consumer account, please refer to the enclosed Electronic Funds Transfer Agreement for your right and the procedures to stop an EFT payment and our liability to you if we fail to do so.

Statements. We will provide you with a periodic statement showing the account activity. You must notify us within 14 days after we mail or otherwise make the statement available to you of any discrepancies, except for transfers governed by the Wire Transfer Agreement. If you fail to notify us, you will have no claim against us. If you do not receive a statement from us because you have failed to claim it or have supplied us with an incorrect address, we may stop sending your statements until you specifically make a written request that we resume sending your statements and you supply us with a proper address. Notify us immediately if there is an error on your periodic statement. If your account is a consumer account, please refer to the enclosed Electronic Funds Transfer Agreement for information about how to notify us of any errors or unauthorized transactions that appear on your periodic statement, and how to preserve your rights and limit your liability for errors and unauthorized transfers.

ACH & WireTransfers. This Deposit Agreement is subject to Article 4A of the Uniform Commercial Code- Funds Transfers as adopted by the state in which the account is opened. If you send or receive a wire transfer, you agree that Fedwire® Funds Service may be used. Federal Reserve Board Regulation J is the law that covers transactions made over Fedwire® Funds Service. 6 When you originate a funds transfer for which Fedwire® Funds Service is used, and you identify by name and number a beneficiary financial institution, an intermediary financial institution, or a beneficiary, we and every receiving or beneficiary institution may rely on the identifying number to make payment. We may rely on the number even if it identifies a financial institution, person or account other than the one named. If you are a party to an Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) entry, you agree that we may transmit an entry through the ACH, and you agree to be bound by the National Automated Clearing House Association (“NACHA”) Operating Rules and Guidelines, the rules of any local ACH, and the rules of any other systems through which the entry is made. Please see Schedules B and C for additional terms that may apply to your ACH and Wire Transfers.

Provisional Payment. Credit we give you is provisional until we receive final settlement for that entry. If we do not receive final settlement, you agree that we are entitled to a refund of the amount credited to you in connection with the entry, and the party making payment to you via such entry (i.e., the originator of the entry) shall not be deemed to have paid you in the amount of such entry.

Notice of Receipt. We will not provide you with notice of our receipt of the payment order, unless we are so requested by the transfer originator in the order, or required by law. If you have a consumer account, you may contact us to determine whether any recurring electronic fund transfer you initiated has been completed successfully. However, we will continue to notify you of the receipt of payments in the periodic statements we provide to you.

Choice of Law. We may accept on your behalf payments to your account which have been transmitted, that are not subject to the Electronic Fund Transfer Act, and your rights and obligations with respect to such payments shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of New York state.

International Transactions. If your transaction originates from a financial agency that is outside of the territorial jurisdiction of the United States, it may be subject to additional review for compliance with the rules of the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). If additional review is required, the International transaction will not be available to you until it passes final verification.

Stale or Postdated Checks. We reserve the right to pay or dishonor a check more than 6 months old without prior notice to you. You agree not to postdate any check drawn on the account. If you do and the check is presented for payment before the date of the check, we may pay it or return it unpaid. We are not liable to you for paying any stale or postdated check, and you agree to reimburse us for any loss we might suffer if we acted in good faith or exercised ordinary care. Any damages that you incur, and which we may be liable for, are limited to actual damages not to exceed the amount of the check.

Verifying Funds Availability for Check. You authorize us to release funds availability information about your account to individuals or merchants who represent to us that they have received a check or other item from you.

Check Safekeeping. If you can write checks on your account and utilize a check safekeeping or any other system offered by us for the retention of your checks, you understand that the canceled checks will be retained by us and destroyed after a reasonable period or as required by law. Any request for a copy of any check may be subject to a fee, as indicated in the Fee Schedule or Disclosures and as allowed by law. If for any reason we cannot provide you with a copy of a check, our liability will be limited to the lesser of the face amount of the check or the actual damages sustained by you.

No Waiver. You understand and agree that no delay or failure on our part to exercise any right, remedy, power, or privilege available to us under this Deposit Agreement shall affect or preclude our future exercise of that right, remedy, power or privilege.

Online or Mobile Services. If you open an account or obtain a product or service from us using our online or 7mobile services, we may record your personal information from a scan or a copy of your driver’s license or other personal identification card, or we may receive an image or make a copy of your driver’s license or other personal identification card. We may store or retain this information to the extent permitted by law.

Funds Availability Policy

Purpose of This Disclosure. The information here describes our policy of holding deposited items in a transaction account before funds are made available to you for withdrawal. This is our Funds Availability Policy. Please refer to the section Determining the Availability of Your Deposit for the complete policy. For purposes of this disclosure, the terms “you”/”your” refer to the customer and the terms “our”/”we”/”us” refer to Grasshopper Bank, N.A. Generally, transaction accounts are accounts which would permit an unlimited number of payments by check to third persons, and an unlimited number of telephonic and preauthorized transfers to third persons or other accounts you may have with us.

Determining the Availability of Your Deposit. The length of the delay varies depending on the type of deposit and is explained below. When we delay your ability to withdraw funds from a deposit, you may not withdraw the funds in cash, and we will not pay checks you have written on your account by using these funds. Even after we have made funds available to you and you have withdrawn the funds, you are still responsible for checks you deposit that are returned to us unpaid and for any other problems involving your deposit. When we delay your ability to withdraw funds, the length of the delay is counted in Business Days from the day of your deposit. The term “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or federally declared legal holiday on which our banking office is closed, and the term “Banking Day” means that part of any Business Day on which we are open to the public for carrying on substantially all our banking functions. If you make a deposit before the close of business on a Business Day that we are open, we will consider that day to be the day of your deposit. However, if you make a deposit after the close of business or on a day that we are not open, we will consider the deposit made on the next Business Day we are open.

Availability Schedule. Our policy is to make funds from your cash and check deposits available to you on the first Business Day after the day we receive your deposit. Electronic direct deposits will be available on the day we receive the deposit. Once the funds are available, you can withdraw them in cash, and we will use them to pay checks that you have written.

Cash Withdrawal Limitations. We place certain limitations on withdrawals in cash. In general, $225.00 of a deposit of checks is available for withdrawal in cash on the first Business Day after the day of deposit. In addition, a total of up to $450 of other funds becoming available on a given day is available for withdrawal in cash at or after 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST) on that day. Any remaining funds will be available for withdrawal in cash on the following Business Day.

Longer Delays May Apply. In some cases, we will not make all the funds that you deposit by check available to you according to the previously stated availability schedule. Depending on the type of check that you deposit, funds may not be available until the second Business Day after the day of your deposit. The first $225.00 of your deposits, however, may be available on the first Business Day after the day of deposit. If we are not going to make all the funds from your deposit available to you according to the previously stated availability schedule, we will notify you at the time you make your deposit. We will also tell you when the funds will be available. If your deposit is not made directly to one of our employees, or if we decide to take this action after you have left the premises, we will mail or electronically deliver you the notice by the day after we receive your deposit. If you will need the funds from a deposit right away, you should ask us when the funds will be available. If the total of your check deposits on any one day is greater than $5,525, the amount in excess of $5,525 will generally be available no later than the seventh Business day after the day of deposit.

We may also delay the full amount of your check deposits for a longer period (up to 7 Business Days)under the following circumstances:

  1. Doubt of collectability — If we have reason to believe the check you have deposited will not be paid; we may delay availability of the funds represented by that check up to 7 Business Days. Should this occur, we will send you a deposit hold notice no later than the next Business Day after we decide to take this action.
  2. Emergency Situations — If we are unable to conduct business due to an interruption of communications, computer equipment facilities or other emergency conditions beyond our control such as the impact of a natural disaster, we may delay the availability of your deposited check up to seven (7) Business Days. 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.

Special Availability of Certain Deposits

  1. U.S. Treasury Checks; Federal Reserve Bank Checks; Federal Home Loan Bank Checks; U.S. Postal Money Orders and Cash Deposits. Funds from these deposits are available on the next Business day after the Business day of deposit.
  2. Direct Deposits and Wire Transfers. Deposits made electronically, such as directly deposited Social Security payments and wire transfers, are available on the same Business day we receive them.
  3. State and Local Government Checks; Cashier’s Checks; Certified Checks; Travelers Checks. Funds from these deposits are available on the next business day after the Business day of Deposit.

Holds on Other Funds for Check Cashing. If we cash a check for you that is drawn on another financial institution, we may withhold the availability of a corresponding amount of funds that are already in your account. Those funds will be available at the time funds from the check we cashed would have been available if you had deposited it.

Holds on Other Funds in Another Account. If we accept a check for deposit that is drawn on another financial institution, we may make funds from the deposit available for withdrawal immediately but delay your availability to withdraw a corresponding amount of funds that you have on deposit in another account with us. The funds in the other account would then not be available for withdrawal until the time periods that are described elsewhere in this disclosure for the type of check that you deposited.

Exceptions to Grasshopper’s Standard Funds Availability Policy

Special Rules for New Accounts. You are considered a new client if you have not had a deposit account at Grasshopper Bank for at least 30 days prior to you opening the account. For the first 30 days your new account is open, the following exceptions to Grasshopper’s funds availability policies and schedules apply:

  1. You will be entitled to all the benefits described in the “Special Availability of Certain Deposits” section of this agreement.
  2. For check deposits not entitled to special availability your deposit will become available no later than the ninth Business day after the Business day of deposit.

Collection Items. We may require that any check you present for deposit be sent out for collection. That is, your funds will be available after we have received payment from the bank on which the check is drawn. You may be charged a fee for this service. Please refer to the Schedule of Fees for details.

Checks That May Not Be Collectible. Occasionally, a check is given to Grasshopper, which we decide not to accept for deposit or payment because we doubt the collectability of the funds. When this happens, we will return the check to you or, if you request, send the check out for collection. On other occasions, we will learn that a check we have accepted for deposit may not be honored. Should this happen, we may delay the availability of the entire amount of deposit for up to seven (7) days until the check is either paid or returned. In all cases, we will notify you of the action we take.

Foreign Checks. Checks drawn on financial institutions outside of the U.S. (foreign checks) cannot be processed the same as checks drawn on U.S. financial institutions. Foreign checks are exempt from the policies outlined in this disclosure. Generally, the availability of funds from deposits of foreign checks will be delayed for the time it takes us to collect the funds from the financial institutions upon which they are drawn.

Events Beyond Our Control. In the event that we are unable to conduct business due to an interruption of communications or computer or other equipment facilities, suspension of payments by another bank, war, other emergency conditions or other circumstances beyond our control, it may be necessary to increase some or all of the time periods specified in these availability schedules. If this happens, we will try to inform you if possible.

Redeposit of Check(s) Returned Unpaid. We reserve the right to extend the time within which these checks become available. Overdrafts. We may delay the availability of the deposit if you have overdrawn your account or have had frequent returned deposits.

Double-Endorsed Checks. When you deposit a check into your Grasshopper account, we ask you to endorse it with your signature or endorsement stamp. However, we reserve the right to refuse to accept for deposit any check that is not made payable directly to you. A double-endorsed check is one that is made payable to someone else and then endorsed to you by that person. In some cases, we will accept such checks on a “collection basis,” which means that the funds will not be available to you until we have received payment from the bank on which the check is drawn. If you deposit a double-endorsed check by mail or at any of our automated facilities, we may return the check to you.

Other Check Deposits. Funds from all other check deposits will be available on the ninth Business Day after the day of deposit.

Other Deposits Made Through Remote Check Capture Services. Please refer to terms set forth in Schedule D.

Substitute Checks. What is a Substitute Check? To make check processing faster, federal law permits banks to replace original checks with “substitute checks.” These 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 of the checks that you receive back from us may be substitute checks. This notice describes rights you have when you receive substitute checks from us. The rights in this notice do not apply to original checks or to electronic debits to your account. However, you have rights under other laws with respect to those transactions.

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 fees that were charged as a result of the withdrawal (for example, bounced check fees). 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. You also are entitled to interest on the amount of 12your refund if your account is an interest-bearing account. 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 $2,500.00 of your refund (plus interest if your account earns interest) within 10 business days after we received your claim and the remainder of your refund (plus interest if your account earns interest) not later than 45 calendar days after we received your claim. We may reverse the refund (including any interest on the refund) if we later are able to demonstrate that the substitute check was correctly posted to your account.

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 by:

Phone: 1-888-895-9685
Mail: Client Services
261 5th Avenue Suite 610
New York, N.Y. 10016
Email: [email protected]
 

You must contact us within 40 calendar days of 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 period if you were not able to make a timely claim because of extraordinary circumstances. Your claim must include:

  • A description of why you have suffered a loss (for example, you think the amount withdrawn was incorrect);
  • An estimate of the amount of your loss;
  • An explanation of why the substitute check you received is insufficient to confirm that you suffered a loss; and
  • A copy of the substitute check and/or the following information to help us identify the substitute check such as the account number, check number, the name of the person or entity to whom you wrote the check, the amount of the check.

An expedited recredit claim must be submitted in writing. When a claim has been submitted orally, we must receive that written claim within 10 business days of the oral claim.

Minimum Balance Requirements. You must deposit $1,000 to open this account. You must maintain a minimum daily balance of $1,000.00 in the account each day to obtain the disclosed annual percentage yield.

Balance Computation Method. We use the daily balance method to calculate interest on your account. This method applies a daily periodic rate to the principal in the account each day. The daily balance that we use when calculating interest is the collected balance. That means we only include those funds for which we have actually received payment when we determine the daily balance on which interest is paid.

Maturity Date. 1 year after opening.

Early Withdrawal Provisions. We will impose a penalty if you withdraw any or all of the principal before the maturity date. The fee imposed will equal 3 months of interest.

Renewal Policies. Your account will automatically renew at maturity. You will have a grace period of 7 calendar days after the maturity date to withdraw the funds in the account without being charged an early withdrawal penalty. If you withdraw the funds during the grace period, interest accrued but not credited will be forfeited.

Accessing Account Data. You can obtain balance and other Account information through the Services. Since certain information and transactions may not be processed by the Bank until after the close of the Bank’s Business Day, or otherwise in real time, some transactions may not be reflected in the online banking system in real time. Posted items may be reversed due to insufficient funds, stop payment orders, legal process, and other reasons. Certain balances also may not be available for immediate withdrawal. While the Bank endeavors to provide complete and accurate information, unless prohibited by applicable law, the Bank assumes no responsibility for any loss arising from incomplete or inaccurate information provided via the Service.

Authorized Users. Client that obtains Services for commercial purposes shall designate one or more individuals who are permitted to use the Service on behalf of the Client (“Authorized User”). We may also require you to designate one Authorized User as the Primary Administrator who may act as an Authorized User with the power to make and sign all agreements and deliver all documents in connection with the Services on behalf of the Client, determine which features of the Service will be available to the Client and Authorized Users, impose limitations on the Client’s and Authorized User’s use of the Service, designate and remove other Authorized Users, define the roles and permissions of other Authorized Users, and delegate his or her authority to another Authorized User. Unless you otherwise specify, we may deem the Client’s authorized representative who initially requested to use the Service or a feature thereof as a Primary Administrator. Except as otherwise agreed by the Bank or as set forth in the settings applicable to your use of the Account or Service, your Primary Administrator and the Authorized User(s), will have access to any Account designated for use with the Services, even if the Account Agreement does not name such a person as an authorized signer or user of the Account. We do not control access by any of your Authorized User(s) or Primary Administrators to any Service except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. You agree to require your Primary Administrator and any Authorized User(s) to comply with all provisions of this Agreement and all other applicable agreements, and you guarantee that they will do so. You acknowledge and agree that you are fully and solely responsible for the failure of your Primary Administrator or any Authorized User(s) to so comply. You are responsible for any payment, transfer and other Services and charges initiated or incurred by your Primary Administrator and any Authorized User(s), whether or not actually authorized by the Client. The Bank reserves the right to require the Primary Administrator to be an authorized signer on the Account(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, you understand that the Primary Administrator and each Authorized 23User may utilize the Services without regard to any restrictions otherwise applicable to an Account, or whether such Authorized User is an authorized signer on an Account. If the Account is a consumer account for an individual Client, the Client shall be deemed the Primary Administrator and the sole Authorized User unless Client notifies us to add additional Authorized User(s) to the Account, and we have approved such additional Authorized Users. Joint accounts are not permitted without our prior approval.

User IDs. Upon enrollment, each Authorized User may be permitted to create a user name, password, and/or other secure token for use to access the Service (“User ID”). We own the User IDs and any other access code or security device used in connection with the Services from time to time, and you may not transfer them to any other person or entity. Whenever you have reason to believe a User ID has been compromised, lost or stolen, you must notify us immediately. If any Authorized User leaves your employ or you otherwise revoke or change the authority of any Authorized User to access or use the Services, you must notify us and revoke their User ID. You remain fully responsible for all use of any User ID and the Services occurring before you notify us of the revocation or compromise of any User ID and we have had a reasonable opportunity to act upon your notice. You must discontinue use of the User IDs and any other applicable security device upon our request and upon termination of this Agreement. You will continue to be responsible for any authorized or unauthorized use of the Services before and after termination of this Agreement notwithstanding such termination to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. If you access the Service through the Platform or Mobile Application of a Service Provider, you may be required to agree to additional terms and conditions of the Service Provider, and to obtain and maintain credentials to access and use the Platform or Mobile Application. All such credentials used to access the Service through a Mobile Application, Platform, or any other means of accessing your Account shall be considered a “User ID” for the purposes of this Agreement.

You acknowledge that the User IDs are a commercially reasonable security procedure and commercially reasonable method for the purpose of verifying whether any payment, transfer or other Service was initiated by you. You further acknowledge and agree that the User IDs are not intended, and that it is commercially reasonable that the User IDs are not intended to detect any errors relating to or arising out of payment, transfer or any other Service.

You accept as your sole responsibility the selection, use, protection and maintenance of, confidentiality of, and access to, the User IDs. You agree to take reasonable precautions to safeguard the User IDs and keep them confidential. You agree not to reveal the User IDs to any unauthorized person. You acknowledge that we will never ask you for a password and that our employees do not need the passwords for any reason. You acknowledge that: you should not store your password in a conspicuous place, you should log off the Services when you are finished using them, you should not walk away from your computer while logged on to the Services, you should use antivirus software to keep your computer clean and free of viruses, you should register your frequently used computer if this function is available, you should safeguard your secure token if you are using this security feature, you should review and reconcile account activity on a regular, timely basis, and you should access our website directly and never click on a link in an email that may be disguised as being from the Bank.

Devices, Operating System, and Connection Requirements. To use the Service, you will need to provide, at your own expense, a computer, a Wireless Access Device, and other equipment necessary to access the Services as well as all software and necessary telephone lines, Internet or other connections necessary to access the Services, and an e-mail address (each, a “Device”). Your Device must be able to operate and support a minimum 128-bit SSL 24encryption. You are responsible for the installation, maintenance and operation of the Device and all related charges. We are not responsible for any errors or failures caused by any malfunction of the Device. We are also not responsible for any losses or delays in transmission of information you provide to us or otherwise arising out of or incurred in connection with the user of any Internet, network carrier or other service provider providing your connection to the Internet or any browser software. The Service may not be accessible or may have limited utility over some network carriers. In addition, the Service may not be supportable for all computing Devices. We cannot guarantee and are not responsible for the availability of data services provided by your mobile carrier, including data outages or “out of range” issues. We are not responsible for any loss, damage or injury resulting from the disconnection, defect, or malfunction of your cellular service or Device. Further, we are not responsible for the cost of upgrading your equipment to stay current with the Service. You are responsible for understanding the operation and maintenance of your Device. You are responsible for managing the installation and removal of the App, and any other software through which the Service is accessed on any Device. You agree to use Devices that are compatible with the Bank’s programs, systems and equipment, which the Bank may change from time to time. The Bank assumes no responsibility for the defects or incompatibility of any Device the Client uses in connection with the Services, even if the Bank has previously approved their use. THE BANK MAKES NO WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN LAW OR IN FACT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR OFMERCHANTABILITY, WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES, OR ANY COMPUTER PROGRAMS, EQUIPMENT OR SOFTWARE MADE AVAILABLE BY THE BANK TO CLIENT. The Client agrees to notify the Bank promptly if any Device or software the Bank provides to the Client becomes defective. The Bank’s sole responsibility (if any) in such instances will be to use best efforts to repair or replace the defective Device or software that the Bank provided. If you use a Device to access the Service through a Platform or Mobile Application provided by us or a Service Provider, you may be required to comply with additional Device, operating system, and connection requirements.

Account Designation. We may permit or require you to link certain Client Accounts to the Service for use and access in connection with the Service. You must designate a deposit Account you maintain with us (the “Primary Account”) for use with the Services. If you are using the Services for commercial purposes, the Primary Account and any Settlement Account or other account you use with the Service must be a commercial account that is not used primarily for personal, family or household purposes. In the event that we enable you to link multiple Accounts to the Service, we may require you to designate a Primary Account for a particular feature of the Service. If your Primary Account is closed for any reason, or if it is no longer designated for use with the Services, your access to and use of the Services and this Agreement will be terminated unless another Primary Account satisfactory to the Bank is designated. You may also designate any of your other checking, savings, money market deposit, certificate of deposit or loan Accounts you maintain with us for use with the Services with our approval. We reserve the right to deny any Primary Account designation in our sole discretion.

Account Representations. Client represents and warrants to the Bank that the Bank may rely upon the authority of each Authorized User for all purposes in connection with the Services, even if such Authorized User is not a signatory on any such Account, until the Bank has received written notice acceptable to it of any change from an Authorized Representative and the Bank has had a reasonable time to act thereon (after which time it shall rely upon the changed version).

Sufficient Funds. The Client agrees to maintain sufficient available funds (as determined under the Bank’s 25funds availability policy) in the Client’s Accounts accessible via the Services to cover all transactions requested through the Service and applicable fees, or such higher amounts as the Bank may specify from time to time. The Client acknowledges that the Bank does not control intermediary banks or other third parties, including intermediary banks chosen by the Bank, and that the Bank does not control whether intermediary banks deduct fees as part of the processing of transfer requests. The Client agrees that the Client’s funds may be held by the Bank for a period of time during the term of a Service and following termination of the Services, to protect the Bank against any possible losses relating to the use by the Client of the Services. If the Bank does hold funds, the Bank may treat the held funds as not available for other purposes, and reject other transactions (for example, checks or other transfer instructions) in accordance with the applicable deposit account terms and conditions. The Bank may, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, in its sole discretion, allow overdrafts, over limits or negative balances, and the Bank also may determine the overdraft by the Client’s available balance or account balance. The Bank may also discontinue the practice at any time with or without prior notice to the Client. If the Client does not have sufficient or available funds or credit in the Client’s account for which a particular transaction was requested, the Bank may charge any account of the Client’s held at the Bank to cover the cost of the transaction, as well as any corresponding fees, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law. Alternatively, and in the Bank’s sole discretion, the Bank may overdraw the Client’s Accounts held at the Bank and the Client may be charged an overdraft or other fee (such as fees for returned checks or other electronic items), to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, and the Client agrees to immediately pay the Bank such overdraft and fee(s). The Client’s obligation to pay the Bank remains immediately due and payable whether or not the rejected, returned or adjustment entry was processed in accordance with any requirement of any applicable laws or rules applicable to any party other than the Bank and notwithstanding the Bank or the Client may have a claim against another third party for breach of the applicable laws or rules. Nothing in the Agreement shall be construed as the Bank’s commitment or obligation to lend the Client money.

Security Procedures and Communications

CONTACT US IMMEDIATELY IN CASE OF BREACH. You agree to contact us immediately you believe your Device, User ID, other user name, password, or other approved access device or credentials used to access the Service or an Account has been lost or stolen, or if you believe that a transaction has been made without your permission. Unless required by applicable law, we will not be liable for any damages resulting from your failure to follow the aforementioned precautions. You further agree to notify us in writing immediately if you believe that the confidentiality of any User ID has been compromised in any manner or if you believe there has been any other breach in the security of your Accounts or the Services. You must also immediately deactivate the User ID, Device, or other means of accessing the Service that you believe to have been compromised.

Security Procedures. We have established security procedures for your access to the systems we use to provide the Service (“Security Procedure”). The Security Procedure includes, but is not limited to, the use of User IDs codes, encryption, passwords, and other security devices, systems and other means for us to identify you and any device you use to access the Service, your training of your authorized employees (if applicable) on the use of the Service, your supervision and monitoring of the use of the Service by your employees and representatives (if applicable), your commercially sound and accepted practices for ensuring the safekeeping of your Account(s), the system, and your access credentials, and any additional procedure we may offer or require from time to time. The Security Procedure may also include other communications and means of communicating relating to a Service, 26including, without limitation, any payment instruction or authorization, transaction request, information request, Entry, notification and authorization (each a “Communication”). If the Bank takes any action not provided in the Security Procedures in connection with any Communication, such additional action shall not be deemed to become a mandatory part of the continuing Security Procedures. The Security Procedure is intended to provide security against unauthorized access to our systems and your Account(s). We reserve the right to revise or amend the Security Procedure from time to time. You may be denied access to the Services if you fail to comply with any of the Security Procedures.

You acknowledge and agree that the Security Procedure identifies and authenticates you (including your Administrator and Authorized Users) when you access or use the Services. You authorize us to rely on this Security Procedure to identify you when you access or use any of the Services, and as signature authorization for any communications or instructions received, provided that we have substantially complied with the applicable Security Procedure, regardless of whether the communications or instructions are authorized by you. Client understands and agrees that the Bank will use the Security Procedures to verify the authenticity of Communications and that the Security Procedures are not designed to, and are not used for the purpose of, detecting errors in transmission or content of Communications, including discrepancies between account names and numbers.

The Bank may offer the Client use of additional authentication tools or methods from time to time (for example, challenge questions and phrases). If the Client chooses not to implement supplemental authentication tools, the Client’s access to some or all of the Services may be limited, and such election is at Client’s own risk.

Additional Security Procedures and features are set forth in Schedule A (Security Features & Procedures) and may be set forth in other materials the Bank or Service Provider provides from time to time.

Dual Control. Bank recommends that the Client utilize dual control for security control as set forth in Schedule A, to the extent practicable. Use of dual control will require two separate Authorized Users to initiate and approve certain transactions and actions made using the Service. Client’s use of the Service may require dual control by default, unless the Client’s Primary Administrator opts out of this feature. Client understands that if it opts out of dual control, it must use other Security Procedures, and the Client may have less protection against unauthorized transactions and activity. The other Security Procedures selected by the Client will be deemed commercially reasonable by the Client, to the same extent as if the Client had used dual control and any other Security Procedures offered by the Bank, and the Client will indemnify and hold Bank harmless from and against all losses and liabilities arising from the Client’s use of alternative Security Procedures other than those recommended by Bank.

Account and Services Security. You agree to take every precaution to ensure the safety, security and integrity of your Account and transactions when using the Service. The use of the Service on a public network is strongly discouraged. You also agree that the Device you are using to access the Service is protected from and free of viruses, worms, Trojan horses, or other similar components (collectively referred to as “Viruses”), which could result in damage to programs, files, and/or Device or could result in information being intercepted by a third party. You agree not to leave your Device unattended while logged into the Service and to log off immediately after the completion of each access. We encourage utilizing a device software locking feature if it is available on your Device. You agree not to provide your User ID or any other Access Device to any unauthorized person. If you permit other persons to use your Device, User ID, user name, password, or other access credentials or means to access the 27Service, you are responsible for any transactions they authorize. You agree not to use any personally identifiable information when creating shortcuts to your Account. We make no representation that any content or use of the Service is available for use outside of the United States or that such access is secure. Access to the Service from locations outside of the United States is at your own risk.

Unless required by applicable law, in no event will be we liable for any unauthorized transactions if we have followed the applicable Security Procedure. Unless to prohibited by applicable law, you will be liable for any transactions and other actions made using a Client or Authorized User’s User ID or other means of accessing the Service, even if a User ID has been lost, stolen or obtained or retained by a person not authorized by you and even if the use occurs after you have asked us to deactivate a User ID or terminate the Service, whether or not we have acted upon that request. For consumer accounts, your liability for transactions is subject to the Electronic Funds Transfer Agreement and the Electronic Fund Transfer Act.

Communications. Regardless of whether or not the Bank complied with the Security Procedures, any Communication received by the Bank will be treated as the Client’s and will bind the Client if the Communication is delivered to the Bank directly or indirectly by any Authorized User, using any User ID or Security Procedure, or if the Client would otherwise be legally bound by the Communication, regardless of whether the Communication was erroneous in any respect or that any loss would have been prevented if the Bank had complied with the Security Procedures.

The Bank may act on an incomplete Communication at its sole discretion, including but not limited to, if in the Bank’s reasonable opinion, it contains sufficient information. The Bank has no duty to discover, and shall not be liable for, errors or omissions made by the Client or the duplication of any Communication by the Client. The Bank may delay or refuse to execute any Communication or process any requested Service. The Bank may do so for any reason or for no reason. The Bank may provide notice to the Client of such delay or refusal but is not obligated to do so. The Bank may delay or refuse processing of a Communication, for example, if: (A) processing would or may exceed the available funds in the Client’s affected account or violate a lending covenant regarding available funds in the account; (B) the Communication is not authenticated to the Bank’s satisfaction or the Bank believes the Communication may not have been authorized by the Client; (C) the Communication contains incorrect, inconsistent, ambiguous, or missing information; (D) processing would or may involve funds which are subject to lien, security interest, claim, hold, dispute, or legal process prohibiting withdrawal; (E) processing would or may cause a violation of any laws or rules applicable to the Client or to the Bank; (F) for any reason determined by the Bank in its sole discretion; or (G) for any other reason under the Agreement. In addition, the Bank shall be excused from failing to transmit or delay a transmittal of a transaction or Communication if such transmittal would result in the Bank’s having exceeded any limitation upon the Bank’s intra-day net funds position established pursuant to present or future Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”) guidelines or in the Bank’s reasonable judgment otherwise violating any provision of any present or future risk control program of the FRB or any rule or regulation of any other U.S. governmental regulatory authority. The Client agrees that the Bank will have no liability to the Client or to any other person for any loss, damage or other harm caused by or arising out of any such delay or refusal. If the Client informs the Bank that it wishes to recall, cancel or amend a Communication after it has been received by the Bank, the Bank may, but will not be required to, use its reasonable efforts to assist the Client to do so; however, the Bank shall not be liable for any loss, cost or expense incurred by the Client if the Bank does not, or is unable to, amend, cancel or recall a Communication. The Client hereby agrees to indemnify the Bank against any loss, liability, claim or 28expenses (including legal fees) it may incur in connection with assisting the Client to recall, cancel or amend a Communication, and the Client agrees to immediately reimburse the Bank for any monies paid by the Bank associated with such losses, liability, claims or expenses incurred by the Bank. The Client assumes the sole responsibility for providing the Bank with accurate Communications in the form and format that the Bank requires. The Bank is not responsible for confirming Communications or for failing to detect and reject duplicate Communications. If the Client provides the Bank with a Communication that is incorrect in any way, the Client agrees that the Bank may charge the Client’s accounts for any transactions related to the Communication whether or not the error could have been detected by the Bank. The Bank is not obligated to detect errors in the Client’s transfer or payment instructions or other Communications.

Before using a Service and before sending a Communication to the Bank, the Client will review the Security Procedures and determine whether the Security Procedures will provide a commercially reasonable method for verifying whether a Communication is that of the Client. As part of the review, the Client will consider the size, type and frequency of Communications the Client normally makes or anticipates making, along with such other factors as the Client may deem relevant or appropriate. You agree to notify us if you know or suspect that the Security Procedures have been breached. We may add additional procedures and features to the Security Procedure from time to time and your use of such additional Security Procedure shall demonstrate your agreement that such Security Procedure is a commercially reasonable method of authenticating your identity.

Uploaded Content; Linked Sites & Advertisements. From the Bank’s or Service Provider’s website, application, platform, or other medium provided by the Service Provider or Bank, the Client may be able to access uploaded content provided or operated by third parties. Unless the Bank tells the Client otherwise in writing, the Bank does not operate or control any such content or any of the information, products or services on such linked websites or applications. The Client acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the Client accesses such content and linked sites at the Client’s own risk; (ii) the Bank makes no representation or warranty, and assumes no responsibility for, content on the Bank’s website and any linked site or the actions or omissions of its/their owners, operators or providers (iii) the Bank makes no endorsement of and assumes no responsibility for, content uploaded to the Bank’s website or mobile banking application or goods or services offered on or advertising on or by any other website; (iv) by using other websites and services, the Client may be exposed to content that is offensive, indecent or objectionable; and (v) although the Bank may have a contractual or other relationship with the operators of a linked website or the providers of content, the Bank will not be responsible for the content, accuracy, integrity, availability, timeliness or operation of their website or content. The Client agrees to hold the Bank harmless in connection with all of the foregoing. The Bank reserves the right, but shall have no obligation, to reject, move, or delete content that the Bank, in the Bank’s sole discretion, believes violates this Service description, or contains content, including viruses, that may interfere with the operation of the Bank’s website or mobile banking application. The Bank may, but has no obligation to, monitor, and/or retain copies indefinitely of, uploaded content, message boards, chat rooms or other forums or review content, or messages posted at such locations, to confirm their compliance with these guidelines. The Bank shall have the right, but not the obligation, to disclose content to any third party if required or permitted by law or if the Bank believes reasonably necessary to: (a) comply with legal process; (b) enforce this Service description; (c) respond to claims that any content violates rights of third parties; or (d) protect the Bank’s rights, properly, or personal safety, or those third parties.

Third-Party Content. The Bank may receive, process, and make available to the Client content that the Bank receives from the Client and others. In this regard, the Bank is merely a passive conduit for such content, although the Bank reserves the right to block or remove any content that the Bank believes violates the Service description. The Bank assumes no responsibility for determining the accuracy, reliability, timeliness, ownership, legality, appropriateness or completeness of any information that the Client or others provides to the Bank, nor for any mistakes, defamation, slander, libel, omissions, falsehoods, obscenity, pornography or profanity on such sites, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law. The Bank will not have a duty to interpret or evaluate any content transmitted to the Bank or through the Bank’s website or the Services. The Bank will not be required (by means of any security procedure or otherwise) to detect errors or illegality in the transmission or content of any content the Bank receives from the Client or third parties. The Bank will not have a duty to notify the Client about any inaccuracy, unreliability, ownership, incompleteness or other problem that may be associated with third party content on the Bank’s website, even if the Bank has reason to know of its existence. Use of any content the Client obtains from the Bank’s website or mobile banking application is at the Client’s own risk.

Use of Personal Information. If the Client opens an account or obtains a product or service from the Bank using the Bank’s online or mobile services, the Bank may record your personal information from a scan or a copy of your driver’s license or other personal identification card, or may receive an image or make a copy of your driver’s license or other personal identification card. The Bank may store or retain this information to the extent permitted by law.

Electronic Records and Signatures. When any payment order or other Service generates items or transactions to be charged to an Account of the Client, the Client agrees that the Bank may charge the affected Account without requiring the Client’s signature and without prior notice to the Client. Any transactions or services resulting from the Client’s instructions which the Bank receives in the Client’s name and under the Client’s credentials shall be deemed to have been “a writing” and authenticated by the Client “in writing” for purposes of any law in which a writing or written signature is needed or required. All records maintained by the Bank of transactions under the Client’s or Authorized User’s User ID or other credentials shall be deemed to have been “signed” and will further constitute an “original” when printed from records established and maintained by the Bank or the Bank’s authorized agent in the normal course of business. The Client agrees not to contest the authorization for, or validity or enforceability of, the Bank’s electronic records and documents, or the admissibility of copies thereof, under any applicable law relating to whether certain agreements, files or records are to be in writing or signed by the party to be bound thereby. Records and “signed” documents, if introduced as evidence on paper in any judicial or other proceedings, will be admissible to the same extent and under the same conditions as other documentary business records. Upon the Bank’s written request, the Client agrees to manually sign or place the Client’s signature on any paper original of any record or “signed” document which the Bank provides to the Client containing the Client’s purported signature.

Electronic Recordings. The Client authorizes the Bank (but the Bank is not obligated) to record electronically and retain telephone conversations between the Client (including its purported Authorized Users and representatives) and the Bank. Accordingly, the Client agrees on behalf of themselves, its employees and agents that the Bank may monitor and record the Client’s telephone and electronic communications in connection with the 30Services at any time, without further notice, unless required to do so by applicable law. The Bank and the Client hereby agree that the Bank may produce the telephonic or electronic recordings or computer records as evidence in any proceedings brought in connection with the Agreement, and the Client hereby acknowledges the validity and enforceability of such telephonic or electronic recordings.

Fees; Penalties

Fees. The Client agrees to pay the Bank the fees prescribed in the Bank’s current fee schedules for each of the Services, a copy of which is available upon request (each a “Fee Schedule”). Unless other arrangements are made for payment of such fees, the Bank will automatically debit any Account maintained by the Client with the Bank in the amount of such fees. The Bank does not in any way extend credit to the Client under this Agreement. The Bank may amend the Service pricing from time to time. Certain prices are subject to change without prior notice. Special or additional Services performed at the Client’s request will be subject to additional terms and fees. In addition to the fees for the Services, the Client agrees to pay for all taxes, tariffs and assessments levied or imposed by any government agency in connection with the Services, the Agreement, and any software, Device, or equipment made available to the Client (excluding any income tax payable by the Bank).

The Client is also responsible for the costs of any communication lines and any data processing charges payable to third parties. If the Client is required by the laws of any relevant jurisdiction to make any deduction or withholding from any fees, interest, or other amounts, on account of tax or other charges, the Client shall withhold the same and pay it to the relevant authority and shall pay the Bank such additional amount as may be necessary to ensure the Bank receives an amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such deduction been made.

Fines and Penalties. The Client will reimburse the Bank for any fines or penalties (and any associated costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) imposed on or assessed against the Bank by any Federal Reserve Bank, any network operator, any state or federal regulatory agency or other US or foreign governmental body, or any clearinghouse or other third party having oversight or rulemaking authority over transactions facilitated using the Services, when the fine, penalty or other expense is caused by or related to the Client’s data or use of the Services. Such amounts shall be immediately due and payable by the Client. The Client’s obligation to pay the Bank remains immediately due and payable whether or not the fine or penalty was imposed or assessed in accordance with any requirements of the Rules or Laws or any laws applicable to any party other than the Bank and notwithstanding the Bank or the Client may have a claim against another for breach of the same.

The Client will provide such information or documentation as the Bank may request from time to time to demonstrate compliance by the Client with the Client’s representations and warranties, or other obligations of the Client under this Agreement.

The Bank will not be responsible for determining the compatibility of any Device or installed software with other system components or for any failure of any technical servicing or software installation to provide access 32to the particular Service which the technical servicing or software installation was intended to make available. The Bank’s liability and the Client’s remedy for actual costs and losses resulting directly from the Bank’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith actions and/or omissions, whether the claim is in contract or tort, will not exceed the Service fees accrued by the Client during the three months immediately preceding the cost or loss.

Confidentiality

Unless otherwise provided in the Agreement, all Supporting Documents and software provided pursuant to the Agreement constitute the Bank’s, its contractors or vendors, or the Bank’s agent’s confidential information (“Confidential Information”). The Bank, its contractors or vendors, or the Bank’s agent (as applicable) will remain the sole owner of all such Confidential Information, and the Client will not acquire any interest in or rights to the Confidential Information as a result of the Client’s use of any Service except as set forth in this Agreement. The Client will maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information, and will not permit its employees or agents to, disclose, copy, transfer, sublicense or otherwise make any of it available to any person or entity, other than the Client’s employees who have a need to use the Confidential Information in connection with the applicable Service. The Client shall notify the Bank immediately if the Client knows or suspects that there has been any unauthorized disclosure, possession, use or knowledge (each, an “Unauthorized Use”) of any Confidential Information, and if the 34Client is responsible for the Unauthorized Use, it will, at its expense, promptly take all actions, including without limitation initiating court proceedings to recover possession or prevent further Unauthorized Use of the Confidential Information and obtain redress for any injury caused to the Bank as a result of such Unauthorized Use. In addition, the Client shall not decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, modify, or create derivative works of any computer program provided pursuant to the Agreement. The Client authorizes the transfer of any information relating to the Client to and between the branches, subsidiaries, representative offices, affiliates, contractors, vendors and agents of the Bank and third parties selected by any of them, wherever situated, for confidential use in connection with the provision of products or Services to the Client (including for data processing purposes), and further acknowledges that any such branch, subsidiary, representative office, affiliate, contractor, vendor or agent or shall be entitled to transfer any such information as required by any law, court, regulator or legal process.

Compliance

Compliance with Applicable Law and Rules. The Client agrees to comply with all state and federal laws, rules and regulations, as may be amended from time to time, applicable to the Client and to their use of the Services including the operating rules of all systems and networks, as may be amended from time to time, used to provide Services to the Client (“Rules,” and collectively, “Applicable Law”), and to promptly provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Bank of the same if requested by the Bank. Without limitation, the Client agrees and acknowledges that the Services may not be used by the Client in violation of, and must comply with, the Applicable Law and Rules, including sanctions laws administered by the Office of Foreign Asset Controls. The Client agrees that the Services will not be used to facilitate any illegal activity, including but not limited to illegal Internet gambling. The Client acknowledges and agrees that the software used to access the Services may be subject to restrictions and controls imposed by the Export Administration Act and the Export Administration Regulations, as may be amended from time to time (collectively, “Acts”). The Client agrees and hereby certifies that neither the Software nor any product thereof or any Service is being or will be used by or on behalf of the Client for any purpose prohibited by these Acts. Nothing in the Agreement relieves the Client of any obligation the Client may have under the Laws, Rules or Acts. If the Agreement is in conflict with the Applicable Laws, Rules or Acts, as may be amended from time to time, then the Agreement is deemed modified only to the extent necessary to allow or require the Client to comply with the Laws, Rules and Acts. If the Client has a commercial account or uses the Services for business purposes, the Client will implement and maintain procedures, including retention of legal or compliance services, to ensure that the Client is able to comply with all current and future Laws, Rules, and Acts, including any changes to them. The Bank is not obligated to provide information, updates or notice of or regarding the Laws, Rules, or Acts even if the Bank is aware of the same and of the potential for material impact on Client’s use of the Services, and the Client’s indemnification and other obligations to the Bank are not relieved or reduced by the Bank’s not providing the same to the Client. If the Bank does provide information, updates or notices of or regarding the Laws, Rules or Acts to the Client, the Bank is not responsible for the accuracy of the same and may discontinue doing so at any time. In addition to any allowances provided to the Bank in any other agreement the Bank has with the Customer, the Customer agrees that the Bank may delay posting of an inbound credit to any of the Customer’s account(s) held at the Bank or delay the processing of an outbound transaction from the Customer’s account(s) held at the Bank, when the delay is due to a suspicion that the transaction may be in violation of applicable Law, Rule or Act, or the transaction is otherwise under review by the Bank.

Reconciliation. The Client will inspect all information made available by the Bank in connection with the 35Services. The Client agrees to promptly, by telephone and in writing, notify the Bank of any errors in such information or any discrepancies between its records and the information, statements or confirmations of transactions made available by the Bank. If the Client fails to promptly notify the Bank of any such error or discrepancy, in any case no more than 30 days of the date on which such information is made available to the Client, then the Client agrees that the Bank will not be liable for any losses resulting from the Client’s failure to give such notice or any resulting loss of interest relating to any funds transfers. Without limiting the foregoing: (i) if the Client fails to notify the Bank of any such error or discrepancy within one year of the date on which such information is made available to the Client, then the Client shall be precluded from asserting such error or discrepancy against the Bank; and (ii) the Bank reserves the right to, in its sole discretion, adjust transaction records for good cause after the expiration of said one year period. If the Account is a consumer account or the Client obtains electronic fund transfer services primarily for consumer purposes, the Client’s liability for errors and unauthorized electronic fund transfers is limited as disclosed in the enclosed Electronic Funds Transfer Agreement.

Client’s Other Responsibilities

Notices. Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, all notices, and other communications by the Customer to the Bank shall be in writing and, addressed to:

The Client agrees to provide the Bank with the Client’s current email address, and to notify the Bank immediately when the Client changes its email address. Any notice or communication sent by the Bank to the Client will be effective when sent by the Bank, or as otherwise stated in the notice or communication.

The Client further acknowledges and agrees that certain notices and communications may be provided to the Client by telephone (including mobile phone), facsimile or electronic transmission at the telephone number, mobile phone number, facsimile number or other location or number as shown in the Bank’s records. Any notice, instruction, Communication or other communication sent by the Client to the Bank will be effective when the Bank has actually received and has had a reasonable time to act on the notice, instruction, Communication or other communication. The Bank may rely on all notices, instructions, Communications and other communications sent to the Bank via facsimile or electronic transmission as though they are originals. Without limiting the foregoing, the Bank is entitled to rely on any notice, instruction, Communication or other communication believed by the Bank in good faith to be genuine or to have been signed or authorized by a Primary Administrator or other authorized representative of the Client. The Client agrees to access the Services from time to time and, in no event less than monthly, to access notices, communications and information made available by the Bank.

Audits and Inspection. This paragraph applies if Client’s Account or other Services are provided for business or commercial purposes. The Bank (or its appointed representative) reserves the right, with prior notice to the Client, to enter upon the Client’s premises from time to time during regular business hours to verify that the Client’s operations and procedures are in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. In connection with any such audit, the Client agrees to furnish the Bank with any documentation or information as is reasonably necessary to establish the Client’s compliance with the terms of the Agreement. If it is determined by the Bank that additional procedures or controls need to be implemented by the Client, the Client agrees to implement such procedures or controls within a reasonable period of time to be agreed upon by the parties. In connection with the Bank’s entry on the premises of the Client for the purpose of conducting an on-site audit or inspection, or in connection with providing support to the Client, the Bank shall not be liable or responsible to the Client or any third party for any loss, bodily harm, property damage, claims of the introduction of a virus or other malicious code into the Client’s system, including any which allegedly delay, alter or corrupt the data of the Client, whether related to the transmission of check images or other data to the Bank or whether caused by the equipment, software, the Bank Internet service providers, Internet browsers, or other parties providing communication services to or from the Bank to the Client.

Reserve Account. The Client agrees that it will, if requested by the Bank at any time, establish one or more reserve accounts (“Reserve Account”) to be maintained with the Bank in type (including time deposits) and amount satisfactory to the Bank, to serve as collateral for and to secure the Client’s obligations to the Bank under the Agreement. The Bank may restrict or prohibit the Client’s access to any Reserve Account(s) and the funds on deposit in them and may hold such accounts following termination of the Agreement for a period sufficient to protect the Bank against loss. The Bank may increase or decrease the required Reserve Account balance from time to time, upon notice to the Client and the Client agrees to provide immediately available funds to cover a reserve amount requested by the Bank. In addition, the Bank may transfer funds from another account of the Client’s, or use funds payable to the Client or owed by the Bank to the Client under the Agreement or due to a Service and credit such funds to a Reserve Account if a deficiency exists between the available funds in the Client’s Reserve Account(s) and the amounts specified by the Bank as the required reserve amount.

Security Interest. The Client grants the Bank a security interest in the Client’s Reserve Account, Primary Account, and all other Accounts to secure the repayment of any obligation that the Client incurs under the Agreement. The security interest provided under this Agreement is in addition to any other security interest the Bank mayhave in the Client’s accounts or other assets. This security interest will survive termination of the Agreement.

Client Records. The Agreement and the Services are not intended to relieve the Client of any obligation imposed by law or contract regarding the maintenance of records or from employing adequate audit, accounting and review practices as are customarily followed by similar businesses. Except as otherwise stated in the Agreement, the Client agrees to retain and provide to the Bank, upon request, all information necessary to remake or reconstruct any deposit, transmission, file or entry until one year following receipt by the Bank of the deposit, file, entry, transmission, or other order affecting an account.

Term and Termination

The term of the Agreement will commence upon full execution of the Agreement and will continue in full force and effect thereafter until terminated as follows: the Client may terminate some or all of the Services under 37the Agreement, with or without cause, upon 30 days prior written notice to the Bank; and the Bank may terminate, suspend or restrict some or all of the Client’s access to the Services under the Agreement, with or without cause, at any time immediately upon notice to the Client. Without limiting the foregoing, the Bank reserves the right to automatically terminate the Client’s access to all or any part of the Services in the event the Client’s use of a Service is inactive for a period of 180 days. Any termination will not affect any obligations arising prior to termination. Upon termination, the Bank may terminate the Client’s access to the Services, and the Client will terminate its access to and use of the Services, except to the extent necessary to process transactions that were in process prior to the termination date. Within 30 days after termination of the Agreement, the Client will, at its expense, promptly uninstall and remove all software provided for the Services from its computers and return to the Bank any Software, hardware and equipment provided by the Bank for the Services, including the Supporting Documents, procedures, documentation and any materials relating to the Services in its possession or under its control, destroy all copies of the Supporting Documents and materials relating to the Supporting Documents that cannot be returned, and upon request from the Bank certify in writing to the Bank that all such copies have been returned or destroyed.

Upon termination of the Agreement, all Services and any licenses shall automatically terminate.

Miscellaneous

Business Days. For the purpose of this Agreement, the Bank’s business days are Monday through Friday, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays on which our banking office is closed.

Availability. The Bank may cause a Service to be temporarily unavailable to the Client, either with or without prior notice, for site maintenance, security or other reasons, and the Client acknowledges that factors beyond the Bank’s reasonable control, such as telecommunications failure or equipment failure, may also cause the Service to be unavailable to the Client. In such an event, the Client must make alternative arrangements for scheduled and other anticipated transactions and the Client will be responsible for maintaining procedures and facilities to enable the Client to do so if any of the Services are unavailable to the Client. Upon notice from the Bank of a failure of any software, hardware or other equipment necessary for the Bank to perform in accordance with this Agreement, the Client will, as soon as reasonably possible, deliver to the Bank all data in the Client’s possession or under its control which the Bank reasonably requests in order for the Bank to continue to provide the Service.

Assignment. The Bank may assign its rights and delegate its duties under this Agreement to a party affiliated with it or to a third party. The Client may not assign any right or delegate any obligation under the Agreement without the Bank’s prior written consent.

Relationship of Parties. Nothing in the Agreement creates a joint venture, partnership, principal agent or mutual agency relationship between the parties. No party has any right or power under the Agreement to create any obligation, expressed or implied, on behalf of the other party.

Third Parties. The Client acknowledges and agrees that the Bank may arrange to provide software, if required, and/or may arrange for the Services covered by the Agreement to be performed or provided by third parties, including its affiliates. The Client further agrees that any such party is a third-party beneficiary of the Agreement and as such is entitled to rely on, and avail itself of, the provisions of the Agreement as if it was the 38Bank, including, without limitation, the limitations on liability and the indemnities described in the Agreement. The Bank’s ability to provide certain Services may be dependent upon the Bank’s ability to obtain or provide access to third-party networks. In the event any third-party network is unavailable, or the Bank determines in its sole discretion that the Bank cannot continue providing any third-party network access, the Bank may discontinue the related Service or may provide the Service through an alternate third-party network. In such situations, the Bank will have no liability for the unavailability or delay of access.

Arbitration Agreement. For any and all controversies, disputes, demands, claims, or causes of action between you and us (including the interpretation and scope of this Section 46) and the arbitrability of the controversy, dispute, demand, claim, or cause of action) relating to the Services or this Agreement (as well as any related or prior agreement that you may have had with us), you and we agree to resolve any such controversy, dispute, demand, claim, or cause of action exclusively through binding and confidential arbitration and the terms of this Section 46. The arbitration will take place in the federal judicial district located in the borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, or in the alternative, may be conducted telephonically at your request. As used in this Section, “we” and “us” mean Grasshopper Bank and its subsidiaries, affiliates, predecessors, successors, assigns, and all of its and their respective employees, officers, directors, agents, and representatives. In addition, “we” and “us” includes any third party providing any product, service, or benefit in connection with the Services, or this Agreement (as well as any related or prior agreement that you may have had with us) if such third party is named as a co-party with us in any controversy, dispute, demand, claim, or cause of action subject to this Section.

Arbitration will be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and not any state arbitration law. The arbitration will be conducted before one arbitrator from the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) with substantial experience in resolving contract disputes. As modified by these Terms, and unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties in writing, the arbitration will be governed by the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules and, if the arbitrator deems them applicable, the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, the “Rules and Procedures”). Notwithstanding this agreement to arbitrate, either party may seek emergency equitable relief in federal court if it has jurisdiction or, if it does not, in a state court located in the federal judicial district of your principal place of business (for commercial accounts) or residence (for consumer accounts) in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration, and each party hereby agrees to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the courts located within the federal judicial district of such location for such purpose. A request for interim measures will not be deemed a waiver of the obligation to arbitrate.

You agree to the following in connection with any arbitration: (a) no class or similar group arbitration will be permitted; (b) the arbitration will be confidential, and neither you nor we may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement of the arbitration award; (c) subject to any limitation of liability in this Agreement, the arbitrator may award any individual relief or individual remedies that are expressly permitted by applicable law; and (d) each party will pay its own attorneys’ fees and expenses, unless there is a statutory provision that requires the prevailing party to be paid its fees and litigation expenses and the arbitrator awards such attorneys’ fees and expenses to the prevailing party, and, in such instance, the fees and costs awarded will be determined by the applicable law.

You understand and agrees that, by agreeing to this Agreement:

  • YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO HAVE A TRIAL BY JURY;
  • YOUAREGIVINGUPYOURRIGHTTOHAVEACOURTRESOLVEANYDISPUTEBETWEENUS;and
  • YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO SERVE AS A REPRESENTATIVE, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR IN ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A MEMBER OF A CLASS OF CLAIMANTS, IN ANY ARBITRATION OR LAWSUIT INVOLVING ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN US.

This Section will survive termination of the Services and this Agreement as well as any voluntary payment of any amount you oweus, and any bankruptcy filing or proceeding concerning either party. If any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Rules and Procedures, then the balance of this arbitration provision will remain in effect and will be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting part was not contained herein.

Additional Arbitration Terms for Consumer Accounts

If you are an individual that obtains any Services primarily for personal, family, or household purposes, the following arbitration provisions shall apply to any disputes we have regarding such Services, in addition to any other terms set forth in Section 46 that do not conflict with this Section 27.

Location of Arbitration. Unless you and we agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination will be made by AAA. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, we agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the Rules and Procedures. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the Rules and Procedures. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator will issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.

Cost of Arbitration. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the “Arbitration Fees”) will be governed by the Rules and Procedures, unless otherwise provided in this Section 47. To the extent any Arbitration Fees are not specifically allocated to either us or you under the Rules and Procedures, we and you shall split them equally; provided that if you are able to demonstrate to the arbitrator that you are economically unable to pay your portion of such Arbitration Fees or if the arbitrator otherwise determines for any reason that you should not be required to pay your portion of any Arbitration Fees, we will pay your portion of such fees. In addition, if you demonstrate to the arbitrator that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, we will pay as much of the Arbitration Fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. Any payment of attorneys’ fees will be governed by the Rules and Procedures.

Future Changes to Arbitration Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, we agree that if we make any future change to Sections 46-47 while you are using the Services, you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of these Sections 46-47 as of the date you first accepted this Agreement (or accepted any subsequent changes to this Agreement).

Final Agreement; Amendments

The Agreement constitutes the final and complete agreement between the Bank and the Client with respect to the Services and any required software, and supersedes all other oral or written agreements, understandings and representations. The Bank may amend, add, delete, or change the terms of the Agreement, including but not limited to the terms of any Service, or to the applicable fees. The Bank may make such 41amendments, additions, changes or deletions, at any time and at the Bank’s sole discretion. If the Bank deems it reasonably practicable to do so and if the change adversely affects the Client’s usage of the Service, the Bank may notify the Client of the change in advance. Otherwise, the Bank will notify the Client of the change as soon as reasonably practicable after it is implemented, which notice may be given electronically. The Client’s continued use of the Services will evidence the Client’s consent to any amendments, including additions, changes or deletions.

SCHEDULE A: SECURITY FEATURES & PROCEDURES

The Client and Grasshopper Bank, N.A. (“Bank”) agree to the following Security Procedures:

The Security Procedure for Requests delivered in the Client’s name to the Bank via an electronic delivery channel, in person outside the Bank’s electronic banking platform or offline (manually) will be to verify the details with an Authorized Signer, which may include the originating Authorized Signer of the Request, by secure chat or at the phone number on file AND verify the Authorized Signer’s identifying information. The Bank will:

  • In-Person Requests: For in-person Requests, the Bank will verify the Authorized Signer’s photo identification. The Bank will not be required to engage a call back procedure from the Authorized Signer.
  • Online Banking Service Requests: Requests submitted using the Online or Mobile Banking Service will be subject to the Security Procedures applicable to that Service (as described in the Online Banking Service Description), in addition all Online or Mobile Banking Service Requests will be subject to the Client’s use of multi-factor authentication. Contact us or the Service Provider for the current Security Procedures, as amended from time to time.
  • Offline (Manual) Requests: For offline requests where the Client submits a signed form for manual processing, the Bank will have contact with an Authorized Signer, by secure chat or at the phone number on file, and verify the Authorized Signer’s identifying information in addition to the details of the request.

Pursuant to Schedule C (Origination Services) entered between the Client and the Bank; the Bank has granted the Client access to the Origination Services. Defined terms shall have the meaning provided in that Agreement, unless otherwise defined herein. The Client agrees to the Bank’s Security Procedures for purposes of authenticating Requests transmitted pursuant to the Origination Service in the name of the Client and delivered to the Bank via the Agreement and the Bank has agreed to authenticate Requests using the Security Procedures selected by the Client in this Schedule A. The Client agrees that the choice of Security Procedure is commercially reasonable for the Client and that the Client will be bound by Requests in the Client’s name as set forth in the Agreement. The Client agrees that personal identification numbers, passwords and any other Security Procedures cannot be shared amongst the employees, including amongst Authorized Users. Any Request conducted as a result of a breach of this requirement will be at the Client’s sole risk and liability.

Dual Control Opt-Out. The Bank recommends that the Client utilizes dual control for security control. Online Banking Services will default to a requirement for all transactions to be initiated and approved by separate Authorized Users (“dual control”). These Authorized Users will be given authority as outlined in the Agreement and will not be given authority to send any transactions individually.

Single Authorized User Accounts. If you do not have additional Authorized Users with the requisite permissions to complete the dual control requirement must opt out of the feature to allow transactional capability in a single control environment. If you add Authorized Users in the future, you must contact the Bank to opt back into this feature.

IF THE CLIENT SELECTS THE OPTION TO OPT OUTOF  THIS REQUIREMENT (NOTRECOMMENDED) AND ELECTS TO USE SECURITY PROCEDURE(S) OTHER THAN DUAL CONTROL AND THOSE SECURITY PROCEDURES PROVIDELESS PROTECTION AGAINST UNAUTHORIZED TRANSACTIONS OR ACTIVITY THAN THE SECURITY PROCEDURES OFFERED BY THEBANK: (I) THE SECURITY PROCEDURES CHOSEN BY SUPER ADMIN WILL BE CONSIDERED “COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE” TO THE SAME EXTENT THAT THE SECURITY PROCEDURES OFFERED BY THE BANK THAT PROVIDE GREATER PROTECTION, AND (II) SUPER ADMIN SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD THE BANK HARMLESS FROMAND AGAINST ALL LOSSES AND LIABILITIES RELATING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO SUPER ADMIN’S USE OF ITS OWN SECURITY PROCEDURES TO PREVENT UNAUTHORIZED TRANSACTIONS RATHER THAN THOSE RECOMMENDED BY THE BANK.

SCHEDULE C: FUND TRANSFER ORIGINATION SERVICES

Subject to the approval of Bank, Bank will provide ACH, wire, and electronic transfer origination services (“Origination Services”) in accordance with the terms set forth in this Schedule B, and Client shall comply with the terms set forth herein and as set forth in the Agreement. Pursuant to this Schedule B, the Client may submit funds transfer requests, Entries (as that term is defined in the NACHA Rules or the Rules of any other payment network used to process the entry or request, as applicable), and Payment Orders (as defined in Article 4A of the Uniform Commercial Code) (“Requests”) to the Bank for processing in accordance with this Schedule B and the Agreement. The term Request shall also include any information provided by Client which Bank uses to create any Entry, payment order, File, or similar item as applicable. The Bank may choose the funds transfer mechanism (for example, ACH, Fedwire, correspondent bank transfer) to be used when acting upon the Client’s request.

Provision of Origination Services. Bank shall process and settle, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, Entries and other Requests authorized and provided to Bank by Client. Requests must be submitted to Bank by Client for processing and Settlement in accordance with this Agreement and procedures governing Originators (as defined by the Rules applicable to a transfer), as well as any Settlement and cut-off times. In conveying Entries and other Requests and Communications to Bank, Client is acting as an Originator. Requests maybe submitted by Client pursuant to this Agreement only by an Authorized User; provided, however, Bank is under no obligation to process a Request if it believes such Request is not authorized pursuant to Applicable Law, Rules or otherwise creates a reputational, operational, safety and soundness, or compliance risk to Bank. Client may only submit Entries that are within the Standard Entry Class Codes (as defined by the NACHA Rules) that are approved in writing by Bank.

Transmittal of Requests by Client. All Requests must be provided to the Bank using the Bank’s Services, as that term is defined in the Agreement, or, with the written approval of Bank, by using the Mobile Application or Platform provided by a Service Provider through which your Account is made available. Client shall (i) submit Requests to Bank in compliance with Bank’s instructions, policies and procedures, the Rules, and Applicable Law; (ii) not submit to Bank on any day Requests in a total dollar amount that exceeds the limits on your Account or any feature of the Service (“Limit”) (if any); (iii) prior to such Request submission, ensure that each such Request is properly authorized as required by the Rules and Applicable Law and are otherwise formatted and comply with any other requirements set out in the Rules; and (iv) Client agrees to promptly and regularly (throughout the day) review and reconcile all Requests, transactions or other communications submitted and received by Bank and confirm the accuracy of such review and reconciliation for each Request, transaction or communication submitted and received by Bank. Subject to Bank’s prior approval, Client may contract with third parties for services, but shall nevertheless retain all liabilities of an Originator or Receiver (as defined in the Rules) as set forth in the Rules. With respect to each and every Request submitted to Bank by Client, Client agrees that it will perform its obligations under the Agreement and this Schedule B in accordance with all Applicable Laws, including the sanctions laws administered by OFAC. (It is Client’s responsibility to obtain information regarding the sanctions laws administered by OFAC. This information may be obtained directly from the OFAC Compliance Hotline at 800-540-OFAC). Client agrees to retain data on file adequate to permit remaking of Requests for not fewer than thirty (30) business days following the date of transmission of the Request to Bank, and to provide such data to Bank upon request. Client 45agrees that the dollar amount of any Request submitted to Client will not exceed, by itself or in the aggregate, any transaction or Limits applicable to an Account to be debited or credited in connection with a Request, or other limits set by the Bank from time to time.

Security Procedures. The Client will follow all Security Procedures, as that term is defined in the Agreement, in connection with its use of the Origination Service. In addition to the foregoing, for the purpose of this Schedule B, the Security Procedures used to access accounts and to use the Origination Services may include additional authentication tools or methods offered or required by the Bank or Service Provider from time to time (for example, challenge questions and phrases for employees, callback procedures). If the Client chooses not to implement supplemental authentication tools, the Client’s access to some or all Origination Services may be limited or revoked.

Transaction Limits. Client will not submit individual or total monthly Requests in excess of the maximum limits established by the Bank and reflected in any Supporting Documents, as amended from time to time. The parameters and variations of the limits shall be set at the Bank’s discretion, including but not limited to limits based on dollar amounts and/or Entry Standard Entry Class Code types. The Client will not divide a transaction into more than one Request in order to avoid these limitations. The Bank may adjust these limitations from time to time by providing notice to the Client. The Bank processing of Requests in an amount greater than the established limit(s) shall not be deemed a waiver of this provision; the Bank may cease processing Requests in a greater amount at any time without prior notice. In addition, all transfers to and from an Account will be subject to the terms, conditions, and limits applicable to the Account as set forth in the deposit agreement governing the Account. If the Client exceeds these limits, the Bank may impose a fee, close or convert the Client’s Account to a different type of account, limit the Client’s use of the Origination Services, or any combination of the foregoing. In addition, there may be other transfer limits addressed in the Supporting Documents.

Transfers. The Client may use the Origination Services to initiate funds transfers from the Client’s designated and eligible Account at the Bank to third parties. To the extent Requests are processed as ACH Entries, the Bank will be using the Entry codes appropriate for your Account’s classification (e.g., CCD, CTX or PPD Standard Entry Class Codes for business Accounts).

Recurring Requests. Client may use the Origination Service to submit recurring Requests for commercial transfers from your designated Account, at your selected frequency, on an ongoing basis. However, if the processing date of any such Request is not on a Business Day, then the Request will be processed or initiated on the next Business Day or the prior Business Day.

Cut-Off Times. Same-day Requests must be received by the cut-off time that may be imposed by the Bank from time to time. You may contact us or the Service Provider for the most current information about the Bank’s cut-off times for Requests under this Agreement and Schedule B. A Request is considered executed when the Bank executes it. If a Request is received after the cut-off time or on a day that is not a Business Day, the Bank may process the Request the following Business Day.

Processing, Transmittal and Settlement by Bank. Except as provided in (d) (On-Us Entries) and (g) (Rejection of Requests), Bank shall (i) process Requests received from Client to conform with the file specifications set forth in the Rules, (ii) transmit such Requests as an ODFI to the operator of the relevant payment network, and (iii) settle for such Requests as provided in the Rules. For purposes of this Agreement, Requests shall be deemed received by Bank, in the case of transmittal by tape, when received by Bank, and in the case of electronic 46transmission, when the transmission (and compliance with any related Security Procedures provided for herein) is completed. If such requirements are not met, Bank shall use reasonable efforts to transmit such Requests for processing by the next deadline of the payment network operator.

On-Us Entries. Except as provided in Section 12 (Rejection of Requests), in the case of a Request received for credit to an Account maintained with Bank (“On-Us Entry”), Bank shall credit the Receiver’s account in the amount of such Request on the Effective Entry Date contained in such Request, provided the requirements set forth in Section 2 (Transmittal of Requests by Client) are met. If either of those requirements is not met, Bank shall use reasonable efforts to credit the Receiver’s account in the amount of such Request no later than the next Business Day following such Effective Entry Date. With respect to On-Us Entries, the term “Rules” refers to the NACHA Rules unless the context otherwise so provides or requires.

Web Entries. If Bank authorizes Client to use the Origination Services to originate WEB Entries, then:

  • Client will take all actions and obtain all consents and authorizations required under the NACHA Rules to allow Bank to meet its obligations as ODFI of WEB Entries, and you agree to retain the originals of such consents and authorizations for at least two (2) years after expiration, revocation, or termination thereof, or such other timeframe required by the NACHA Rules or Applicable Law;
  • Client agrees it has performed or will perform an annual audit that satisfies the NACHA Rules before initiating a WEB Entry; and
  • Pursuant to the NACHA Rules, Client will establish and implement commercially reasonable: (A) fraudulent transaction detection systems to screen debit WEB Entries; (B) methods of authentication to verify the identity of Receivers of debit WEB Entries; (C) procedures to verify that the routing number used in the debit WEB Entry is valid; and (D) security technology for communications between Client and Receivers over the internet or wireless networks.
  • Each time Client initiates a WEB Entry, in addition to its other representations and warranties under this Agreement, Client warrants that the WEB Entry was screened by its fraudulent transaction detection system and that Client has used commercially reasonable methods to authenticate and verify the Receiver’s identity and to verify that the account number used in the WEB Entry is valid.

Provisional Credit. Client acknowledges credit given to the recipient of a payment is provisional until the recipient’s bank has received final Settlement through a Federal Reserve Bank or otherwise received payment as provided under Article 4A of UCC. If final settlement is not received, the recipient will not be deemed to have been paid the amount of the Request. Furthermore, the Client agrees that any payment by the Bank for any returned credit or credit reversal is provisional until receipt by the Bank of final settlement for such return or reversal. If f inal settlement is not received, the Bank is entitled to a refund from the Customer of the amount credited, and the Bank maycharge the Client’s Account for the amount credited. The Bank may refuse to permit the use of any amount credited for a credit reversal if the Bank believes that there may not be sufficient funds in the Client’s account to cover chargeback or return of such reversal.

Rejection of Requests. Bank may reject any Request that (i) does not comply with the terms of the Agreement, Applicable Law, Rules, requirements of Section (b) (Transmittal of Requests by Client) or (ii) that contains an effective Entry Date more than two (2) Business Days after the Business Day such Request is received 47by Bank. Bank may reject an On-Us Entry for any reason for which a Request may be returned under the Rules. Bank may reject any Request if Client does not adhere to its Security Procedures. Bank reserves the right to refuse to pay any third party to whom the Customer may direct a transfer Request. The Bank will notify the Client if the Bank decides to refuse to pay a third party designated by the Client. Bank shall notify Client by (email or electronic transmission) of such rejection no later than the Business Day such Request would otherwise have been transmitted by Bank to the network operator or, in the case of an On-Us Entry, its Effective Entry Date. Notices of rejection shall be effective when given. Bank shall have no liability to Client by reason of the rejection of any such Request or the fact that such notices are not given at an earlier time than that provided for herein. In the event that any Requests are rejected by any payment network or network operator for any reason, it shall be the responsibility of Client to remake such Requests. Should a File be rejected due to an error caused by Bank, Bank shall be responsible for remaking the File. In such a case, Client will supply sufficient information to allow Bank to recreate the Entries for up to five (5) Business Days after midnight of the Settlement Date. Bank shall be excused from failing to transmit or delay in transmitting a Request if such transmittal would result in Bank exceeding any limitation upon its intra-day net funds position established pursuant to Federal Reserve guidelines or otherwise violating any provision of any risk control program of the Federal Reserve or any rule or regulation of any other U.S. governmental regulatory authority.

Stop Payment Requests. You can use the Origination Services to ask us to stop payment on any paper check drawn against any of your Accounts. You may ask us to stop payment on other Requests you made using the Origination Services, solely as otherwise permitted by the Agreement and this Schedule B. You acknowledge and agree that any stop payment Request you make must be requested in a manner provided by the Account agreement or such other procedures we provide from time to time. We may charge you a separate fee for each stop payment request you make, as set forth in any Fee Schedule or Account agreement.

Cancellation or Amendment by Client. Client shall have no right to cancel or amend any Request after its receipt by Bank. However, Client can request the Bank to make amendments or cancel an ACH batch Request if the Request is still “pending” in Bank’s internet banking service. If a Client request for cancellation or amendment complies with the procedures for canceling or amending Request data, Bank shall use reasonable efforts to act upon such a request by Client prior to transmitting the Request to the network operator, or in the case of an On-Us Entry, prior to crediting or debiting a Receiver’s account, but shall have no liability if such cancellation or amendment is not affected. Client shall reimburse Bank for any expenses, losses or damages Bank may incur in effecting or attempting to affect Client’s request for the cancellation or amendment of a Request.

Error Detection. Bank has no obligation to discover and shall not be liable to Client for errors made by Client, including errors made in identifying the Receiver, or an Intermediary or RDFI, or for errors in the amount of a Request or for errors in Settlement Dates. Bank shall likewise have no duty to discover and shall not be liable for duplicate Requests issued by Client. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Client discovers that any Request it has initiated was in error, it shall notify Bank of such error. In the event that Client makes an error or issues a duplicate Request, Client shall reimburse Bank for any loss, damages, or expenses, incurred by Bank as result of the error or issuance of duplicate Entries. Bank will use reasonable efforts, subject to and consistent with the Rules, to effect a reversal of an erroneous Request. Client will notify the Receiver by an appropriate method of communication that a reversing Request has been transmitted to the Receiver’s account, no later than the Settlement Date of the reversal Request. Client agrees to hold Bank harmless from any and all claims, demands, liabilities, costs, and expenses incurred by Bank as a direct or indirect result of any action Bank takes to correct or reverse a Request that Client or Bank identifies as erroneous.

Notice of Returned Requests. Bank shall notify Client by email or online notification of the receipt of a returned or changed Request from the ACH Operator no later than one (1) Business Day after the Business Day of such receipt. Except for a Request retransmitted by Client in accordance with the requirements of Section 2 (Transmittal of Entries by Client), Bank shall have no obligation to retransmit a returned Request to the network operator if Bank complied with the terms of this Agreement with respect to the original Request. Upon receipt of a return of a Request to debit an account, with a return reason code related to unauthorized, disputed or revoked transaction (or any other similar terms), Client will cease transmission of said transactions until a new authorization has been signed by the relevant consumer or Receiver or until corrections have been made or an authorization has been obtained.

Notifications of Change. Bank shall notify Client of all Notification of Change (“NOC”) Entries and similar requests to change a Request received by Bank relating to Requests transmitted by Client by electronic transmission no later than one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof. It is the responsibility of Client to make the requested changes within six (6) Business Days or prior to the initiation of the next live entry, whichever is later with the following exceptions: (a) the Originator may choose, at its discretion, to make the changes specified in any NOC or corrected NOC relating to ARC, BOC, POP, RCK, XCK and single entry TEL or WEB, (b) in the case of CIE and credit WEB entries, the ODFI or Third-Party Service Provider is responsible for making the changes and (c) for an NOC in response to a Prenotification Entry, the Originator must make the changes prior to originating a subsequent entry if the ODFI receives the NOC by opening of business on the second Business Day following the Settlement date of the Prenotification Entry.

Reversing Entries or Files. Except for the reasons explicitly permitted under the NACHA Rules, the initiation of reversing Entries or files because an Originator or Third Party Sender failed to provide funding for the original Entry or file and/or the initiation of reversing an Entry or file is beyond the time period permitted by the NACHA Rules are explicitly prohibited by NACHA Rules.

Electronic Debits. Provisions may be made for holding accounts to be maintained for posting of any returned debit Requests received, as stated elsewhere within this Agreement and the Rules. Client will promptly provide immediately available funds to reimburse Bank if any such Requests are rejected after Bank has permitted Client to withdraw immediately available funds, should funds not be available in the Client’s Account or the Reserve Account to cover the amount of the rejected or returned Requests.

Payment for Credit Requests and Returned Debit Requests. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Client agrees to pay Bank for all credit Requests submitted to Bank by Client, and credit Requests otherwise made effective against Client or a Client Account. Client shall make payment no later than the date of transmittal by Bank of such Requests or any other date Bank, in its discretion, may determine (“Payment Date”), and the amount of each On-Us Entry at such time on the Effective Entry Date of such credit Request as Bank, in its discretion, may determine. Client shall pay Bank for the amount of each debit Request returned by an RDFI or any dishonored Request. Payment shall be made by Client to Bank in any manner specified by Bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank is hereby authorized to charge the account(s) held by Bank for Client or any other Client designated account as payment for credit Entries issued by Client or returned or dishonored debit Entries. In the event that such accounts does not have sufficient available funds on the Payment Date, Bank is hereby authorized to charge any account maintained by Client with Bank as payment for credit Requests issued by Client or returned 49or dishonored debit Requests. Client shall maintain sufficient collected funds in Client’s Account(s) to settle for the credit Requests on the Payment Date. In the event that no Client account has collected funds sufficient on the Payment Date to cover the total amount of all Requests to be paid on such Payment Date, Bank may take any of the following actions: (i) refuse to process all Requests, in which event Bank shall inform Client that Bank suspended processing of the Requests, whereupon Bank shall have no liability to Client or any third-party as a result thereof, or (ii) process all credit Requests. In the event Bank elects to process credit Requests initiated by Client, the total amount of the insufficiency advanced by Bank on behalf of Client shall be immediately due and payable by Client to Bank without any further demand from Bank. If Bank elects to pay Client’s account in the overdraft on any one or more occasions, it shall not be considered a waiver of Bank’s rights to refuse to do so at any other time nor shall it be an agreement by Bank to pay other items in the overdraft.

Prefunding. Bank may require Client to establish one or more Accounts that will be used to settle Requests (each a “Settlement Account”). Client must maintain in the Settlement Account, as of the applicable effective date of the Request (the “Entry Effective Date”) and Settlement Date for each transaction, collected funds sufficient to cover all credit Requests originated by Client or otherwise submitted by or on behalf of Client to Bank for processing. Bank may place a hold on funds in a Settlement Account in the amount of any credit Request, pending settlement thereof, and in that event, such funds will be otherwise unavailable for use or for transfer to any other account. Client further authorizes Bank, without prior notice or demand, to debit the Settlement Accounts at the opening of business on the applicable Settlement Date in the amount of each credit Request. Client agrees to immediately provide sufficient available funds to reimburse and indemnify Bank if any debit Request is rejected after any funds have been withdrawn, which were made available as a result of a debit Request or if any adjustment relating to any debit Request is received by us. Bank reserves the right to require Client to pre-fund a Settlement account maintained at Bank prior to the Settlement Date of the ACH file. Bank shall determine whether pre-funding is required based on criteria established from time to time by Bank. Bank will communicate directly to Client if pre-funding is required and, if requested by Client, will provide Client with an explanation of its pre-funding criteria. If it is determined that pre-funding is required, Client will provide immediately available and collected funds sufficient to pay all Requests initiated by Client (a) not later than 8:00 a.m. EST three (3) Business Days before each Settlement Date, and (b) prior to initiating any Requests for which pre-funding is required.

Inconsistency of Name and Account Number. The Client acknowledges and agrees that, if a Request describes a Receiver, beneficiary, or other party to a transaction inconsistently by name and account number, payment of the Request transmitted by Bank to the RDFI may be made by the RDFI (or by Bank in the case of an On-Us Entry) on the basis of the account number supplied by the Client, even if it identifies a person different from the named Receiver, beneficiary or party, and that the Client’s obligation to pay the amount of the Request to Bank is not excused in such circumstances. Client is liable for and must settle with Bank for any Request initiated by Client that identifies the Receiver, beneficiary or party by account or identifying number or by name and account or identifying number.

Data Retention. Client shall retain data on file adequate to permit remaking of Requests for ten (10) days following the date of their transmittal by Bank as provided herein and shall provide such data to Bank upon its request. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions, Client specifically agrees to be bound by and comply with all applicable provisions of Rules and Applicable Law regarding the retention of documents or any record, including, without limitation, Client’s responsibilities to retain all items, source documents, and records of authorization.

Audits. This section applies to Client’s business Account(s). At least once per year, Client shall provide Bank with an ACH audit performed by a qualified third party approved by Bank in accordance with NACHA Rules. Bank shall treat such audit reports as Client’s Confidential Information under this Agreement. Any exceptions noted on the ACH audit reports will be promptly addressed with the development and implementation of a corrective action plan by Client’s management. Client’s failure to appropriately address any deficiencies shall be considered a material breach of this Agreement. The Client shall retain data on file adequate to permit remaking of Entries for three hundred and sixty-five (365) days following the date of their transmittal by Bank as provided here and shall provide such data to Bank upon its request.

In addition, Bank may from time to time request information from Client in order to evaluate a continuation of the Origination Services to be provided by Bank under this Schedule B and the Agreement, and/or adjustment of any limits set forth in this Agreement. Client agrees to provide the requested financial information immediately upon request by Bank, in the form required by Bank. Client authorizes Bank to investigate or reinvestigate at any time any information provided by Client in connection with the Agreement, this Schedule B or the Services. Upon request by Bank, Client hereby authorizes Bank to enter Client’s business premises for the purpose of ensuring that Client is in compliance with this Schedule B, and Client specifically authorizes Bank to perform an audit of Client’s operational controls, risk management practices, staffing and the need for training and ongoing support, and information technology infrastructure. Client hereby acknowledges and agrees that Bank shall have the right (but not the obligation) to mandate specific internal controls at Client’s location(s), and Client shall comply with any such mandate. In addition, Client hereby agrees to allow Bank to review available reports of independent audits performed at the Client location related to information technology, the Origination Services and any associated or related operational processes. If Client refuses to provide the requested financial information, if Bank concludes, in its sole discretion, that the risk of Client is unacceptable, if Client violates this Agreement, the Rules or any other Applicable Law or if Client refuses to give Bank access to Client’s premises, Bank may terminate the Origination Services and other Services in the sole discretion of Bank.

Reserves and Limits. In the event a Limit may be exceeded on a Business Day, Client and Bank will work diligently to resolve such deficiency. Bank may, in its sole discretion, make an exception to or change the Limit and/or Reserve Amount prior to the batch time of the Business Day on which a transaction would have otherwise had met or exceeded the original Limit.

Notice of Improper Requests. Bank may provide Client with a periodic statement reflecting the total of each File transmitted by Bank or credited to a Receiver’s account maintained with Bank. Client agrees to promptly and regularly review all Requests and other communication received from Bank and to immediately notify Bank if there are any discrepancies between its records and those provided by Bank. If the Client fails to deliver such notice within seven (7) days, any claim of erroneous Requests is waived.

Rules. You agree to comply with and be bound by the and the rules of any other payment network used to provide the Origination Services, as in effect from time to time (the “Rules”). To the extent transfer Requests are facilitated through the Automated Clearing House Network (“ACH”) they will be subject to the Operating Rules and Guidelines of the National Automated Clearing House Association (“NACHA Rules”), and the Client agrees to be bound by the NACHA Rules. All undefined capitalized terms used in parts of this Schedule B shall have the meanings given them in the Rules governing the transfer mechanism used by the Bank. The Client agrees that information or advice received by the Client from the Bank as to the Rules or the operation of the Rules is not legal advice and is not a substitute for the Client’s obligation independently to understand and comply with the Rules.

Client acknowledges that the Origination Services and any Request executed by the Bank will be subject Rules applicable to Entries, payment orders, and other Requests, including recordkeeping and information transmittal requirement under federal Bank Secrecy Act and its implementing regulations, and other Applicable Laws and Rules. The Client acknowledges and agrees that the Bank may capture and transmit information regarding a Request (for example, beneficiary’s name, address other beneficiary identifies and beneficiary’s account number) as part of the processing of a payment order. The Client agrees to assist the Bank in connection with any requirements imposed on the Bank fulfilling the Bank’s obligations in this regard. For non-consumer credit Requests, UCC 4A, as adopted by New York, applies.

Client acknowledges receipt of a copy or has access to a copy of the NACHA Rules. A copy of the NACHA Rules is available at www. nachaoperatingrulesonline.org. Client agrees to comply with and be bound by the NACHA Rules and all other Rules and Applicable Law governing any Request submitted to the Bank under this Agreement. In the event Client violates any Applicable Law or Rule and a fine is imposed on Bank because of Client’s violation, Bank shall pass on the fine and any associated penalties to Client. The Bank reserves the right to suspend Client, Originators and Third Party Service Providers for breach of Applicable Law or Rules, or to terminate this Agreement or this Schedule B of the Agreement. In the event that the Client uses any other Originator or Third Party Service Provider to transmit Requests, the Bank reserves the right to audit the Originator and/or Third Party Service Provider compliance with this Agreement and with the Rules. Bank will provide reporting information to NACHA regarding Client if Client’s return rate for unauthorized Entries exceeds the Unauthorized Entry Return Rate Threshold, the Administrative Return Rate Level or Overall Return Rate Level as required by the NACHA Rules. NACHA, in its role of ensuring the safety, security, and viability of the ACH network has determined that certain single-use or limited-use consumer authorizations have the potential to increase risk in the ACH system and compromise system effectiveness by increasing the incidence of returned Entries. Therefore, Client hereby warrants to Bank that for each such ACH Entry submitted for processing, Client have obtained all authorizations from the Receiver as required by the NACHA Rules, by Regulation E or other applicable law, and this Agreement. Client also makes the additional warranties to Bank that Bank makes to each RDFI and ACH Operator under the NACHA Rules for the respective SEC codes for Entries originated by Client. CLIENT INDEMNIFIES AND HOLDS BANK HARMLESS FROM ANY LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF THIRD-PARTY’S BREACH OF THESE WARRANTIES.

Representations and Warranties. With respect to each and every Request originated or deemed originated by Client, Client represents and warrants that all requirements of the payment network have been or will be met; including the generation of pre-notification Entries before the first Request is sent, if required by the Rules. Client represents and warrants to Bank the accuracy of all warranties that, under the Rules, Bank is deemed to make with respect to Requests originated by Client, any Client administrator, or any other authorized user of these Origination Services. Without limiting the foregoing, Client represents and warrant that (a) each Request is accurate, timely, and all required payments are included; (b) Client has complied with the terms of the Uniform Commercial Code Article 4A if applicable, and otherwise performed is obligations under the Agreement and this Schedule B in accordance with all Applicable Laws, and (c) each person shown as the Receiver on a Request received by Bank from Client has authorized the initiation of such Request and the debiting or crediting of such person’s account in the amount and on the Effective Entry Date shown on such Request, and such authorization is 52in full force and effect at all relevant times. Client agrees to indemnify Bank against any loss, cost, liability, or expense (including attorneys’ fees and expenses and IRS penalties) resulting from or arising out of any breach of any of the foregoing representations, warranties, or agreements, including any fines assessed against Bank for any violation of Applicable Law or Rules caused by Client. Client further agrees to indemnify Bank, each participating bank, NACHA, ACH Operator and any other payment network operator from all claims, demands, losses, costs, liabilities or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) resulting from any failure on Client’s part to exercise reasonable care in the creation of or presentment of Entries, or to comply with Applicable Law or Rules.

Standard Entry Class Code Warranties and Liabilities. Without limiting anything herein, Client makes to Bank each of the warranties set forth in the NACHA Rules, Subsections 2.4.1 (General ODFI Warranties), 2.15.2 (Warranty of and Indemnification by Third Party Senders), 2.15.3 (Performance and Warranty of ODFI Obligations by Third Party Senders) and 2.5.17.4 (Additional ODFI Warranties for WEB Entries), and Section 5.2 (Warranties of Gateway) of the NACHA Rules. Such warranties are made by Client with each submission of Entries to Bank. If Client, as a Third Party Senders, performs any of the obligations of an ODFI under the NACHA Rules, Client will comply with the ODFI requirements of the NACHA Rules, and warrants that it is legally able to do so. Without limiting the foregoing, Client makes all representations and warranties set forth in the NACHA Rules related to each Entry type it submits.

No Other Origination Agreement Permitted. Client is prohibited from entering into an ACH origination agreement with any other Originator or Third Party Sender under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any third-party service provider sends Entries or other Requests to us on your behalf, you acknowledge that the third-party service provider is your agent and you agree that you shall require any third-party service provider to fully comply with all of the terms and conditions set forth in this Schedule B as well as all applicable terms and conditions of the Agreement.

Limitation of Liability. The Bank’s liability under this Schedule B shall be limited as set forth in the Agreement. Any claim, action or proceeding by the Client to enforce the terms of this Schedule B or to recover for any service-related loss must be commenced within one year from the date that the event giving rise to the claim, action or proceeding first occurs. The Client agrees to cooperate with the Bank in any loss recovery efforts the Bank undertakes to reduce any loss or liability that arises in connection with Origination Services. The Client acknowledges that service fees have been established in contemplation of: (i) these limitations on the Bank’s liability, (ii) the Client’s agreement to review statements, confirmations, and notices promptly and to notify the Bank immediately of any discrepancies or problems; and (iii) the Client’s agreement to assist the Bank in any loss recovery effort. The Bank will not be liable or responsible for the acts or omissions of any other financial institution or any third party or for any inaccuracy or omission in a notice or Request received by the Bank from the Client, another financial institution, or any other third party.

SCHEDULE D: BILL PAYMENT SERVICE

Pursuant to this Schedule C (Bill Payment Services), we may make available the Bill Payment Service to you, with our prior approval. This Schedule C governs your use of the Bill Payment Service. If the Bill Payment Service will be used to make payments from a commercial account, the Primary Administrator shall be the Primary Administrator for the Bill Payment Service. This Primary Administrator is responsible for commencing the Client’s use of the Bill Payment Service and for designating other Authorized Users who may use this Bill Payment Service on behalf of the Client.

Bill Payment Account Designation; Payment Details. When using the Bill Payment Service, the Client must designate the existing account it has established at Grasshopper Bank or such other account for which the Bank supports the Bill Payment Service (“Bill Payment Account”) from which the bill payments (“Bill Payments”) are to be made. For each Bill Payment, the Client will also be required to provide the complete name of the payee, the account number and the payee’s remittance address (as exactly as shown on the billing statement or invoice), the amount of the payment and the date the Client wants the payment to be processed by the Bank (“Pay Date”). If the Pay Date is not a business day, or the Bank receives the Client’s request for a Bill Payment after the applicable cut-off time on the Pay Date, then the Bill Payment will be processed by the Bank the next Business Day. To have a Pay Date that is the same date the Client accesses the System and initiates the Bill Payment instruction, the Bill Payment instruction must be received by the Bank on a Business Day, prior to the Bill Payment Service cut-off hour. The Bank may rely on all information provided by Client about the payee, the payee’s bank account, remittance address, Pay Date, and other details about the requested Bill Payment. The Bank disclaims any and all liability for losses resulting from the Client’s provision of inaccurate, incomplete, outdated or untimely information, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law

Setting-Up Payees. The Client must establish the Client’s list of payees. A payee is anyone, including the Bank, that the Client designates to receive a Bill Payment, provided that the Bank accepts the payee for the Bill Payment Service. If the Bank accepts the payee, then the payee will be placed on the Client’s authorized list of payees. Each time the Client wants to initiate a Bill Payment, the payee must be on the Client’s authorized list of payees. The Bank reserves the right to reject any payee at any time, at its discretion. The Bank is not responsible if a Bill Payment is not made to a payee because the Client provided the Bank with incomplete, incorrect or outdated information regarding the payee or the Client attempted to make a payment to a payee that is not on the Client’s authorized list of payees. Also, the Bank reserves the right to refuse to approve a payee for the Client’s authorized list of payees and to otherwise prohibit payment to a payee via the Bill Payment Service.

Available Funds. By requesting or scheduling a Bill Payment or series of recurring Bill Payments, Client represents, warrants, and covenants that the Bill Payment Account has or will have sufficient available funds to cover all such requested Bill Payments. If the Client requests a one-time Bill Payment (or first Bill Payment in a series of recurring Bill Payment), and the Client requests to initiate the payment immediately or the following Business Day, the Client will need to have sufficient available funds in the Client’s designated Bill Payment Account to cover the amount of the Bill Payment, as of the time the Bill Payment is requested. For future one-time or recurring Bill Payment instructions, the Client must have sufficient available funds in the designated Bill Payment Account on the Business Day before the Pay Date and on the Pay Date Client acknowledges and agrees that the Bank may debit, or place a hold on, the Client’s designated Bill Payment Account on the business day before the Pay Date 54in the amount of the Bill Payment plus applicable fees, if any. If the Client does not have sufficient funds in the Bill Payment Account, then the Bank may not initiate the requested Bill Payment, or it may reverse Bill Payments that were previously initiated, in any order and in any amount that the Bank chooses. If there are insufficient funds, the Bank may reject the request for the Bill Payment. If the Bank permits Client to make a Bill Payment that exceeds the available balance of the Bill Payment Account, an overdraft may occur and Client must immediately restore the available balance of the Bill Payment Account to at least $0.00.

Prohibited Payees. The Bank does not recommend that the Client use the Bill Payment Service to pay the Client’s federal, state or local taxes, courts or other governmental entities. Client may not use the Bill Payment Service to make payments to any payee or type of payee that is prohibited by the Bank’s policies and procedures. Please contact us for more information about the Bank’s current list of prohibited payees. The Bank will not be liable for penalties, interest or other damages of any kind if the Client tries to use the Bill Payment Service to remit or pay money to any prohibited payee, or to make a Bill Payment for taxes, or to courts or governmental agencies. The Bank shall have the sole discretion to permit or reject a Client’s request to send a bill payment to a particular payee. You may not make a Bill Payment to any payee or payee’s account that is located outside of the United States, or any Bill Payment that is not denominated in U.S. Dollars, without the prior written consent of the Bank. You may not use the Bill Payment Service to make any Bill Payment for any unlawful purpose.

Scheduling Bill Payment. Client must designate a Pay Date so that it is scheduled sufficiently in advance of the due date of the Client’s bill (“Due Date”) to allow the payee to receive it on the Due Date set by the Client’s payee and without taking into account any grace period that may be offered by the Client’s payee. The Client is responsible for ensuring that the Client initiates a Bill Payment instruction in time for the payment to reach the payee before its Due Date (without taking into account any grace period). The Client must designate a Pay Date sufficiently in advance to allow at least five (5) business days, prior to the Due Date, for each Bill Payment instruction to reach the applicable payee. The Bank is not responsible for any damages the Client may suffer if the Client does not allow at least five (5) business days between the Pay Date and the Due Date of the Client’s bill or obligation, without counting any grace period offered by the payee. If the Client submits a one-time Bill Payment instruction after the Bill Payment cutoff hour on the requested Pay Date, then the Bill Payment will be processed the next Business Day. The Client’s Bill Payment Account will also be debited the next Business Day.

Payment Methods. The Bank reserves the right to select the method in which to remit funds on the Client’s behalf to the Client’s payees. These payment methods may include, but may not be limited to, wire transfer, automated clearing house (ACH), an electronic payment, an electronic check payment (where the check is drawn off the Bank’s third-party service provider’s account), or a demand draft payment (where a negotiable instrument is created and drawn off of the Client’s Bill Payment Account). We may change the available Bill Payment methods at any time. Bill Payments requested or made by ACH, wire transfer, or other electronic transfer origination services shall be made subject to Schedule B.

Payment Changes & Cancellation. The Client may change or cancel a Bill Payment instruction via the Service if the Client logs onto the Service prior to the Pay Date for the Bill Payment instruction and Client follows the Bill Payment instructions provided by the Bill Payment Service for changes and cancellations. We may be unable to honor your request to change or cancel your payment if you do not contact us at least 3 Business Days before your scheduled Pay Date.

Accurate Information on Payees. The Bill Payment will be processed using the information the Client supplies, and if the information the Client gives to the Bank is inaccurate or incomplete in any way the Bill Payment may be delayed or misdirected. If the Bill Payment Service provides the Client pre-populated options regarding payee address or location, the Client is responsible for selecting the correct information at the time the Bill Payment is requested, or correcting that information if such information does not agree with the Client’s records or with the Client’s particular bill, at least 3 Business Days before any scheduled Pay Date. The Bank and the others that handle the Client’s Bill Payment (including the payee’s bank) are entitled to rely on information the Client supplies or confirms, such as the payee’s account number or the routing number of the payee’s bank, even if the name the Client gives to the Bank and the number the Client gives to the Bank identify different persons.

Automated Clearing House Entries. Electronic payments that are made through the Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) are subject to the Rules and Operating Guidelines of the National Automated Clearing House Association (“NACHA Rules”), and the Client agrees to be bound by the NACHA Rules.

Bill Payment Limits. The Bill Payment Service is subject to limits on the amount, type and frequency of transactions the Client can make using the Bill Payment Service, including daily, weekly, and monthly limits. These limits will be disclosed to you as required by Applicable Law and may be made available to you when you open your Bill Payment Account, sign up for the Bill Payment Service, or subsequently made available to you on our website or the Service Provider’s website or platform. In addition, the Bill Payment Service may not be used for any transaction that will cause the Client to exceed any transaction limitation that applies to the Bill Payment Account pursuant to the Agreement and any other terms governing the Bill Payment Account. Bank may modify these limits and add others at any time at Bank’s option, and will disclose such changes to Client as required by Applicable Law. There are other limits on the amount, type and frequency of Bill Payments that you may make using the Bill Payment Service, and we may not disclose such limits to you, or any changes to such limits, to protect the security of an account or system. Client agrees to provide Bank with any and all information needed to establish such limitations and shall not accept or attempt to process Bill Payments in excess of the maximum limitations established by Bank. Client may request a modification of the limits that apply to the Client’s use of the Bill Payment Service, provided, however, that such requests will require an application to the Bank, and the review and approval of the Bank, which may be declined by the Bank for any reason in its sole discretion. The Bank may refuse to process any request for a Bill Payment in connection with this Service for any reason, subject to Applicable Law.

Check Stop Payment Service. If the Bank permits Client to use the Bill Payment Service to make a Bill Payment using a check, the Client may stop payment on a check by providing the Bank with timely, complete and accurate information on the number of the Account in question; the date of the item; the item number; the payee information and the EXACT amount of the item (dollars and cents). If any information is incomplete or incorrect, the Bank will not be responsible for failing to stop payment on the item. Requests become effective when the Bank has had a reasonable opportunity to confirm their receipt and has verified that the item has not been paid. Bank may require the Client to use Online Banking Services or the Service Provider’s platform to request that the Bank amend or stop payment on any scheduled Bill Payment. If the Client contacts the Bank and does not follow the Bank’s instructions for amending or stopping payment on any requested Bill Payment, the Bank may at its sole discretion attempt to assist the Client but will not be liable for any failure to successfully amend or stop the payment. The Client may not use this check stop payment service to stop payment on any electronic fund transfer (EFT) transaction, point-of-sale EFT transfer; any cashier’s check, certified check or other official institution check that has been purchased from the Bank or any check which the Bank has guaranteed. The Client understands that its stop payment request is conditional and subject to the Bank’s verification that the check has not already been paid, or any Online Banking Service not already performed, or that stopping payment may subject the Bank to risk of loss or damages under any law or regulation (including clearing house or other processor rules). All stop payment orders, renewals and revocations of stop payment orders will be subject to the Bank’s current policy on stop payment orders. From time to time, the system may be inoperable. If that occurs, Client’s request can be communicated to the Bank by telephone. Telephone requests will expire unless confirmed in writing within 14 days. A check stop payment order is effective for six (6) months only and will expire automatically, at which time the Client is responsible for any renewal desired by the Client for another six (6) month term. There will be a fee assessed for each stop payment request processed. All stop payment requests on a check shall be subject to your Deposit Agreement.

You may request to stop-payment of ACH transfers, wire transfers, and other payments as otherwise permitted by your Agreement, including the Deposit Agreement, Exhibit B, and the Electronic Funds Transfer Agreement.

Messages. Messages sent to the Bill Payment Service are not reviewed by the Bank personnel immediately after they are sent. If immediate attention is required, the Client must contact the Bank by telephone or other channel permitted by the Service Provider and approved by the Bank. Encryption of data transmissions does not guarantee privacy. Data transferred is encrypted in an effort to provide transmission security. Notwithstanding the Bank’s efforts to ensure that the Services are secure, the Client acknowledges that the Internet is inherently insecure and that all data transfers (including transfer requests and electronic mail) occur openly on the Internet. This means that the data transfers potentially can be monitored and read by others. The Bank cannot and does not warrant that all data transfers utilizing the Services will not be monitored or read by others. The Client’s e-mail messages may be acted upon by the Bank if received in a manner and in a time providing the Bank a reasonable opportunity to act. Nevertheless, unless otherwise provided herein, e-mail messages will not serve as a substitute for any requirement imposed on the Client to provide Bank with “written” notice.

Inconsistencies. If a beneficiary or payee of any requested Bill Payments, or Request (as defined by Schedule B), is identified by both name and account number, payment may be made by the Bank and by any other financial institution based on the account number even if the name and the account number are not consistent or identify different parties. If an intermediary bank or a beneficiary’s bank is identified on a payment order by both name and account number, the Bank and other financial institutions may rely on the account number even if the name and the account number are not consistent or identify different parties.

Provisional Credit. All amounts credited or paid to a payee shall be deemed provisional until receipt by the payee’s bank of final settlement of the Bill Payment transaction. If final settlement is not received, the Client will not be deemed to have paid the payee the amount of the Bill Payment. Bank and its service providers shall not be liable for any such failure unless required by Applicable Law or this Agreement, or in the event of our gross negligence or willful misconduct.

The Client agrees that when the Bank gives the Client credit for an incoming payment order, including, but not limited to, returned transactions and refunds, such credit is provisional until the Bank receives full and final credit for the amount of the payment. The Bank may delay availability of provisional funds, in accordance with our Funds Availability Policy and Applicable Law. If the Bank does not receive final settlement, the Client must return the funds previously credited to the Client’s account to the Bank, and the person who sent the payment order will not be treated as having paid the Client. Subject to the Funds Availability Policy and Applicable Law, the Bank may refuse to make available or permit the use of any amount credited for an incoming payment order by the Client, including but not limited to, a debit entry or credit reversal if the Bank believes in its sole discretion that there may not be sufficient funds in the Client’s account to cover charge back or return of such transaction.

Cutoff Hours. Instructions received after an applicable cutoff hour or on a non-Business Day may be deemed received as of the next Business Day. Alternatively, some Services may require the Client to resubmit an instruction on the next Business Day before the applicable cutoff hour. Our cutoff hours will be made available to you in a disclosure, on our website, or by the Service Provider. Our cutoff hours may change in our sole discretion. Please contact us or the Service Provider for the most current information about the cutoff hours applicable to this Bill Payment Service and the applicable accounts.

SCHEDULE E: REMOTE DEPOSIT CAPTURE SERVICES

If approved by Bank in connection with a Program, Bank will provide Remote Deposit Capture Services (“RDC Services”) in accordance with the terms set forth in this Schedule D (Remote Deposit Capture Services), and Client shall comply with the terms set forth herein and as set forth in this Agreement. The RDC Services are a part of the Online Banking Services. By using the RDC Services, you agree to and are subject to the terms of the Agreement.

General Description of RDC Services

Subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement and this Schedule D (Remote Deposit Capture Services), Bank shall provide RDC Services to Client. Pursuant to the RDC Services Client may make deposits to an Account from a remote location using either a compatible mobile device (camera), computer hardware (scanner), software or web-based application (individually and collectively, the “Device”), in each case as approved by the Bank. Bank is not responsible for providing the Device unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, and Client shall ensure that any computer hardware (scanner), software or web-based application or other Intellectual Property used in connection with the RDC Services do not infringe on the Intellectual Property of any Person. Client may use the RDC Services to prepare an accurate electronic picture or replica of the front and back of an Eligible Item (the “Image”) and deliver the Image and associated deposit information to Bank. “Eligible Items” are Checks or other paper items (not a Prohibited Item under this Schedule D (Remote Deposit Capture Services) or item rejected by Bank), payable on demand and drawn on (or payable through) an office of a United States bank, to be converted to Images and deposited into a Client Account using the RDC Services. The Image must accurately capture the front and back of the Check to be deposited. After capture of the Images and all other required data and information from each Check, Client will transmit one or more files containing the Images and all other required information pertaining to all Checks (the “File”) to Bank. Subject to the terms and conditions herein, Bank will process the File(s) in accordance with this Schedule D (Remote Deposit Capture Services).

Limitations for the RDC Services

  • The RDC Services are subject to limits, including daily, weekly and monthly limits on the dollar amounts of Images that Client may transmit or submit and limits on the value of each Eligible Item, which applies to each separate Image. Bank may modify these limits and add others at any time at Bank’s option. Client agrees to provide Bank with any and all information needed to establish such limitations and shall not accept or attempt to process Checks in excess of the maximum limitations established by Bank.
  • Bank may prohibit use of the RDC Services if the current balance of the Account is negative, there are restrictions on the Account that prevent the depositing or withdrawing of funds, or there are more than (2) two returned deposited items in the last two (2) statement cycles. Client shall further ensure it does not request Bank to process any Check transaction in the event of the foregoing.
  • Once an Image has been accepted for deposit, Bank is not able to delete or remove the item from the collection process.

Image Requirements

  • Client shall only submit to Bank for processing Files based on the following Eligible Items as source documents, and shall ensure Client uses only Eligible Items as source documents to that comply with the following: (a) all instruments must be drawn on or payable through a federally insured depository financial institution; (b) no instrument may be a starter Check; (c) each instrument must be machine-readable full-field magnetic ink character recognition (“MICR”) encoded with the bank routing number, account number and check serial number printed on the Check; and (d) each instrument must be for an amount less than or equal to the approved Check limit assigned by Bank. When Bank receives an Image of a Check transmitted from Client that that has been converted to a digital version of the original Check (a Substitute Check) for subsequent presentment and collection, it shall thereafter be deemed an “item” within the meaning of Articles 3 and 4 of the Uniform Commercial Code.
  • Each File transmitted by Client to Bank shall contain Images of the front and the back of Checks that are of minimum required size, not too dark, too light, or too bright, and must be legible and scanned and remotely deposited by Client. The Check MICR information must be machine-readable and MICR “on us” field value must contain valid data. Each Image of each Check shall be of such quality so that the following information (which must be included on the Image) can be clearly read and understood from sight review of the Image: (i) the amount of the check; (ii) the payee of the Check; (iii) the signature of the drawer of the Check; (iv) the date of the Check; (v) the Check number; (vi) information identifying the drawer and paying bank that is preprinted on the Check; and (vii) all other information placed on the Check prior to the Image being captured (including, but not limited to, any identification (current phone number and driver’s license number) written on the front of the check or any endorsements on the back of the Check). An Image cannot be missing or incomplete and the Check must be filled out in its entirety for the Check to be processed, and each Check and Image shall contain all proper endorsements. Each Image shall meet all standards of image quality, all requirements necessary to create a Check and must meet all technical requirements of an “electronic item” established by Applicable Law, including Regulation J. Any Check or Image not meeting these minimal requirements or that fails to comply or violates Applicable Law will be ground for immediate suspension or termination of the RDC Services and Client shall indemnify Bank for all losses suffered as a result of or in connection with such failure or violation.
  • Client shall ensure that each Image or File submitted to Bank is the legal equivalent of the Eligible Item for all purposes, including that Bank qualifies as a holder-in-due-course for the Image under the Uniform Commercial Code.
  • Not withstanding anything to the contrary, Bank reserves the right, in its reasonable discretion, to reject or deny, for any reason and without liability, the processing of any Check or Image scanned or deposited using the RDC Services even where Bank has provided Client with a confirmation notice. If an Image does not comply with the requirements set forth in this Section (c) (Image Requirements) and Bank’s processing requirements, Bank may, in its reasonable discretion and without liability, process the Image as received for payment, correct the Image or its accompanying data and process the corrected Image for payment, 60process the deposit for payment in another format as allowed or chargeback (debit) the Account, or the Client’s Reserve Account established under the Agreement for the amount of the Image. In addition, Bank reserves the right to chargeback (or debit) the Account or Reserve Account for the amount of any item, an Image or any paper item or other electronic representation of an item that is rejected by Bank for any reason, including where Bank, in its reasonable determination, the Eligible Item, Image or any paper item has been previously submitted or deposited with Bank or with anyone else or is returned to Bank. This is true even if there has been made any withdrawals against it. Bank shall not be liable for any losses, costs or fees Client may incur as a result of a chargeback of an ineligible item.

Client shall be responsible and liable for any failure of the FBO Account, or any Transaction requested under this Schedule H to be fully funded.

Bank shall not be responsible for misdirected Transactions due to any error unless such error was caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Bank.

SCHEDULE I: POSITIVE PAY SERVICES

Subject to the approval of Bank, in connection with the ACH and check writing privileges you may have in connection with your Account, pursuant to the Deposit Account Agreement and Schedule D (Bill Payment Services), the Bank may provide the Client with a fraud prevention tool that the Client may use to help prevent fraudulent ACH and check transactions on the Account (the “Positive Pay” service). In using the Positive Pay Service and performing its obligations in accordance with this Schedule I, the Client agrees comply with the terms set forth herein and as set forth in the Grasshopper Master Service Agreement (“MSA”).

Description of the Service.

  • Positive Pay (Checks). Positive Pay (Checks) is a fraud tool that Client may use to help prevent check fraud. Client uses the service to provide information to the Bank for all of the checks that the Client writes on the Account, and Positive Pay matches checks presented for payment against the information you provide. If a check is presented that does not match the information you provide, it will be available to review and decision within online banking on the next Business Day. Authorized Users that the Client designates with authority to provide instructions for the Positive Pay services will be able to review and instruct the Bank whether to pay or return the checks. The Bank will automatically return checks if the Client does not instruct the Bank to pay the check by the applicable cut-off time.
  • Positive Pay (ACH). Positive Pay (ACH) is a fraud tool that helps prevent fraud with ACH debits. Client may review all ACH transactions originated by a third party seeking to debit the Client’s Account, within the timeframe required by the Bank, before they are posted to the Client’s Account. Client may also set filters and rules to instruct the Bank to accept or return ACH transactions initiated or originated by a third party or another financial institution seeking to debit the Account. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Bank will block ACH debits that do not conform to the filters and rules set by the Client, or which are otherwise rejected by the Client during the permitted timeframe.

Accounts. To use Positive Pay, you must have at least one Account on which you are permitted by the Bank to write checks and conduct ACH transactions.

Election. Client is responsible for providing all information about each check written or issued by the Client on the Account, and all rules, filters, and other elections the Client elects for the Bank to use to make a decision on whether to pay or block a transaction (collectively, “Elections”). The Elections must be submitted by following the instructions provided by the Bank, and failure to do so may result in the Bank’s inability to act on the Election, and the payment or nonpayment of checks and ACH transactions in the Bank’s sole discretion Client’s Elections will be accepted by the Bank provided that the Bank has a reasonable time to act on the Elections and the Elections comply with applicable law and the terms of this Agreement and other limits that may apply to the Account. Elections on ACH transactions will not apply to transactions that have already been posted, Elections that are made after any applicable cut-off time, or for which the Bank does not have a reasonable opportunity to act on the Election before the transaction posts. Client must notify the Bank immediately of any error in any Election or if the Client would like to change the Election with respect to future transactions that have not yet been initiated or posted to the Account. Bank has no responsibility for any errors or omissions in the Elections submitted by the Client. If the Client makes an Election to permit or block transactions to or from a specific person, entity, account or transaction originator (“Originator”), the Client must provide the Bank with the Originator’s name and Originator ID, including the Originator ID of any affiliate or service provider the Originator may use to initiate the transaction. Bank disclaims all responsibility for any losses that may arise from the Client’s failure to provide complete and accurate Elections in a timely manner.

Positive Pay (ACH) Elections. If the Client elects the Positive Pay (ACH) feature, the Client may submit an Election:

  • Requesting that the Bank block all incoming requests for an ACH debit entry on an Account.
  • Requesting that the Bank block all incoming requests for an ACH debit entry on an Account, except for those originated by specified Originators, and in amounts below a limit specified by the Client
  • Requesting that that the Bank block or permit the Client to review all incoming requests for an ACH debit entry on ACH debit entry on Account that exceed certain limits, filters, or other Elections provided by the Client to the Bank.

Operation of ACH Elections. Elections submitted in the time and form required by the Bank will represent the Bank’s understanding of Client’s intent to make transactions. The Bank may rely on the Client’s Elections until the Client notifies the Bank that it is revoking an Election in the time and manner required by the Bank, and the Bank has had a reasonable opportunity to process that revocation. If the Client submits an Election as set forth in Section 4(a), the Bank will block all ACH debit entries on the Account, as specified by the Client. If the Client submits an Election as set forth in Section 4(b), the Bank will block all ACH debit entries originated by anyone other than the Originators specified by the Client, and all transactions which exceed the amounts specified by the Client. If the Client submits an Election as set forth in Section 4(c), the Bank will block or permit the Client to review all ACH debit entries that exceed the limits, filters or other Elections provided by the Client to the Bank. In the event that Bank provides the Client the right to review ACH transactions that are not automatically paid pursuant to the Client’s Election (“ACH Exceptions”), the Client must review and approve or deny payment for each ACH Exception daily by the applicable cut-off time provided by the Bank. The cut-off time will be displayed through the Online Banking service and may be changed by the Bank at any time, with or without notice to you. ACH Exceptions not reviewed, and approved or denied for payment, prior to the cut-off time will be declined or, if applicable, processed in accordance with the default decision set forth in the Election.

Additional Terms for Positive Pay (Checks).

  • If you order or print checks from any check-printing vendor other than Grasshopper Bank, you agree to insure the MICR encoding ink is of high quality. If you do not use MICR ink, it could result in errors and cause the Positive Pay Service to not properly perform.
  • If you use any third-party software to send a Positive Pay file to our system, we are not responsible for any such software or any delays, failures, errors or omissions arising from the use of the software. You agree to notify us of your use of the software prior to using it, and we may require you to provide information about the software and submit a test file to ensure that your software is compatible with our system. Elections for check transactions will be available for a decision on the Business Day after the check has posted to the account. The check may post to the Account before the Client may reject the check. If the Client elects to reject or return the check by the applicable cut-off time, the transaction will be reversed on the Account.
  • The Positive Pay (check) Service enables you to review checks presented to us for payment drawn from your Account. On the Business Day after a check is drawn on and posts to the Account, the Client will have the opportunity to review the check in the Online Banking portal, and instruct the Bank whether to pay or reject the check. The check may post to the Account before the Client has an opportunity to reject the check. If the Client elects to reject or return the check by the applicable cut-off time, the transaction will not be paid, or if it has already posted to the Account, the transaction will be reversed on the Account. You have an obligation to review and approve or deny payment for each check presented to you for a decision on a daily basis, by the cut-off time set by the Bank from time to time. Items not reviewed and approved or denied for payment, prior to the cut-off time will be paid or processed in accordance with any applicable default Election provided to the Bank under this Agreement.

SCHEDULE J: LOCKBOX SERVICE AGREEMENT

This Lockbox Services Agreement supplements the Agreement and provides additional terms and conditions to govern your use of the Grasshopper Bank, N.A. lockbox services. If approved by Bank in connection with a Program, Bank will provide Lockbox Services in accordance with the terms set forth in this Schedule J (Lockbox Services), and Client shall comply with the terms set forth herein and as set forth in this Agreement. By using the Lockbox Services, you agree to and are subject to the terms of the Agreement.

The Lockbox Service is offered as a convenience and supplemental to the Service and your Accounts, and other products and services we offer to you.

Section 1. THE SERVICE.

These Lockbox Service Terms (the “Service Terms”) set forth how the Bank will process Checks and other items payable to Customer (collectively, “Payments”) directed to a Lockbox for deposit to Customer’s Account (the “Service”). The Service is also subject to the General Provisions of the Treasury Management Terms and Conditions Agreement (the “Agreement”) as if fully incorporated herein and all Applicable Laws. In the event of a conflict between these Service Terms and other terms in the Agreement, these Service Terms shall control. Unless otherwise defined herein, any capitalized terms shall have the meaning as set forth in the Agreement. Any reference to the Agreement herein shall be deemed to include these Service Terms.

Section 2. IMPLEMENTATION.

Bank and/or Bank’s Service Provider are hereby authorized on Customer’s behalf to rent the number of post office boxes (“Lockboxes”) as mutually agreed are necessary in order to process Customer’s anticipated volume of Payments. Customer authorizes Bank and its Service Provider to act as Customer’s agent with exclusive and unrestricted access to the Lockbox for the purpose of collecting and processing all Payments and other materials contained in the Lockbox (collectively, “Mail”), to make deposits to Customer’s designated Account, and to act on behalf of Customer in accordance with the applicable Operational Instructions. The term “Bank” may be used interchangeably in these Service Terms to refer to both Bank and its Service Provider when used in relation to the receipt and processing of Mail in the Lockbox and otherwise providing the Service as described herein.

Section 3. SERVICE OPTIONS.

Bank offers different Service options based on the needs of the Customer, including:

  • Wholesale Lockbox– targeted to customers that receive a low volume of large-dollar business-to-business payments.
  • Retail Lockbox– targeted to customers that receive a high volume of low-dollar consumer-to-business payments.

Section 4. PROCESSING AND REPORTING.

Timing. Bank will use commercially reasonable efforts to remove all Mail from the Lockbox on each Business Day in accordance with Bank’s then-current mail collection schedule and as updated by Bank from time to time. Mail shall not be deemed to have been received by Bank until the Business Day it has been received by Bank and made available for processing after being picked up by Bank from the designated mail facility, or as applicable, delivered to Bank at the address Bank specifies. If the Mail is made available to the Bank for processing on a day that is not a Business Day or after the Cutoff Time on a Business Day, then the Mail will be deemed to have been received and made available for processing on the next Business Day. Same day processing cut off time is when checks are received before 12:00pm EST.

Exception Items; Remittance Materials. Banks may refuse to accept any Mail that it deems inappropriate, such as packages or boxes. All Mail that Bank does not accept for deposit or collection will be returned to Customer without further processing using the method designated in applicable Operational Instructions. In addition, remittance material, correspondence and exception items received in the Lockbox, as applicable, maybe processed or returned without processing as indicated in the Operational Instructions.

Acceptable Payees. Payments sent to the Lockbox must be payable to Customer or to a payee whose name Customer has provided to Bank (including reasonable variations thereof, an “Acceptable Payee”). Customer represents and warrants to Bank that Customer is duly authorized to receive all payments payable to each Acceptable Payee and to deposit or process the payments into Customer’s Account. Items received in the Lockbox which are not payable to an Acceptable Payee may not be processed.

Check Handling. Customer understands that, unless otherwise agreed by Bank in the Operational Instructions, Bank processes Checks using automated processing equipment and Bank does not manually inspect any Checks received in the Lockbox. Customer acknowledges that the cost of manual processing would be significant, and Customer does not wish to incur such costs. This means that post-dated, stale-dated, undated and unsigned Checks can be processed and deposited. Customer releases Bank from all liability for processing Checks received in the Lockbox that are not properly payable to Customer or another Acceptable Payee, missing signatures or endorsements, contain restrictive endorsements or have other problems. Any Checks that cannot be processed through Bank’s standard procedures will be considered exception items and will be returned to Customer.

Endorsements. Customer irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints Bank (and all persons Bank designates for such purpose) as Customer’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact to endorse Customer’s name on any Checks received with the Lockbox endorsement used by Bank.

Foreign Checks. Checks drawn on a bank located outside the United States and/or payable in foreign funds (non-U.S. Dollars), when identified during processing, will either be processed on a collection basis or returned without processing, as indicated in the applicable Operational Instructions. Credit will be posted to the Customer’s designated Account only upon receipt of paid collections, less all fees and charges.

Availability of Funds. Unless Bank has provided a separate funds availability schedule for the Service, Bank will make funds available from the Payments received in the Lockbox in accordance with the Deposit Availability Disclosure in Bank’s Rules Governing Deposit Accounts.

Reporting. If available and elected by Customer, Customer may receive from the Bank a data file via File Delivery showing lockbox activity as designated in the applicable Operational Instructions. Images may be available through one or more reporting options or upon request, and Bank may destroy the originals if images are reported to Customer.
