when you open an Account, we will ask for information that

beneficial owners, controlling shareholders and others.

similar instrument (collectively, “items”) or document by any of
your authorized agents regardless of the necessity or
reasonableness of such action, the circumstances of any
transactions affected by such action, the amount of the
transaction, the source or disposition of any proceeds and
regardless of whether the relevant items or documents result in
payment to the authorized agent or an individual obligation of
the authorized agent or anyone else. “Authorized agents” include

2.2. Keep Track of Your Transactions and Available Balance
It is very important that you keep track of your transactions
and the funds in your Account that are available for you to use
(“Available Balance”) by reviewing your transaction history. It
is also important to understand that your Available Balance may
not reflect transactions you have authorized that have not yet
been presented to us for payment.
You are also responsible for reviewing your Account statements
as they are made available to you for errors or unauthorized
activity. If you identify an error or unauthorized activity, you
must notify us promptly to avoid losing your money. Please refer
to Sections 3.11, 4.5, 4.6, and 5.10 for information concerning
errors and unauthorized activity.
2.3. Protect Your Account Information
It is very important that you protect your Account information
to prevent unauthorized transactions and fraud. Keep your
Account number, debit card, ATM card and statements secure at
all times, and be careful about who you share this information
with. If the Program Partner provides you with access to Online
Banking Services, make sure to also keep your computer or mobile
device secure at all times and avoid accessing the Online
Banking Services when others can see your screen.
If your Account number, debit card, ATM card, mobile device or
Online Banking Services login credentials are lost or stolen,
notify us immediately to keep your losses to a minimum. Please
refer to Section 4.5 for information and applicable deadlines
for notifying us of losses or theft.

3.7. Transfers To or From Linked Bank Accounts
institution (“linked bank account”) to your Account with us to
make inbound and outbound ACH transfers between the linked bank
account and your Account through the Online Banking Services. An
“inbound transfer” moves funds into your Account from a linked
bank account. An “outbound transfer” moves funds from your
Account to a linked bank account. We will facilitate transfers
to a linked bank account separate and apart from any access we
provide you to the ACH Origination Service (see Section 5
below).
For inbound transfers, we will debit your linked bank account
and credit your Account with us on the next business day after
you initiate the transfer. The funds you transfer to your
Account will be made available to you by the fifth (5
th
) business day after the funds have been credited to your
Account.
For outbound transfers, we will debit your Account with us and
credit your linked bank account on the next business day after
you initiate the transfer. The financial institution that holds
your linked bank account determines when those funds will be
made available to you in your linked bank account.
The cut-off time for both inbound and outbound transfers is 3:00
PM ET. Transfer requests that you make on a business day before
the cut-off time will be considered initiated on that day.
Transfer requests that you make after the cut-off time, or on a
day that is not a business day, will be considered initiated the
following business day.
There are limits to the dollar amount of both inbound and
outbound transfers you can make. Please see sections 3.1 and
3.6.
You agree that you will only attempt to link a bank account for
which you have the authority to transfer funds. You also agree
to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims by any
business or person related to the linked bank account, including
any other owner of the linked bank account. You may only link a
bank account that is a deposit account, such as a checking,
savings or money market account.
3.8. No Illegal Activity, Internet Gambling and Right to Refuse Transactions
You must not use your Account for any illegal purposes or, regardless of whether it is legal or illegal, for internet gambling. We may deny any transaction or refuse to accept any deposit that we believe is related to illegal activity, online gambling or for any other reason at our discretion.
3.9. How We Post Transactions To Your Account and Determine Your Available Balance
3.9.1. Posting Overview
To understand how we post transactions to your Account, it is
important to first understand the difference between your
Available Balance and your ledger balance. Your Available
Balance is the amount of money you have in your Account at any
given time that is available for you to use. Your ledger balance
is the balance in your Account at the beginning of the day after
we have posted all transactions to your Account from the day
before. We use your Available Balance to authorize your
transactions throughout the day and determine whether you have
sufficient funds to pay your transactions. Here are some
additional terms that are helpful to understand:
Credit and debit
– A credit increases your balance and a debit decreases your
balance.
Post or posted – Transactions that are paid from or deposited to
your Account. Posted transactions will either increase or
decrease both your Available Balance and your ledger balance.
Pending – Transactions that we receive notice of and are
scheduled to post to your Account. Pending transactions affect
your Available Balance, but not your ledger balance.
Card authorization and settlement – When you use a debit card to
make a purchase, the transaction occurs in two steps: card
authorization and settlement. Card authorizations reduce your
Available Balance, but not your ledger balance. Settlement
reduces both your Available Balance and your ledger balance.
Card authorizations are removed when settlement occurs or after
a certain number of days have passed, whichever is sooner.
Please see Section 3.9.4 for more information about card
authorizations and settlement.
3.9.2. Posting Order
We receive transactions throughout the day and post them to your
Account as they are received and in the order that they are
received. Note that for debit card transactions, we consider the
transaction received when the merchant requests settlement,
which may occur several days after you authorize the
transaction. See Section 3.9.4 for additional information
concerning how debit card transactions are processed.
We may change the order in which we post transactions to your
Account at our discretion and without notice to you. It is
therefore important for you to keep track of the deposits you
make and the transactions you authorize to make sure there are
sufficient funds in your Account to cover all transactions and
any applicable fees.
3.9.3. Determining Your Available Balance
To determine your Available Balance, we start with your ledger
balance at the beginning of the business day, add any pending
credits or deposits that we make available to you, and subtract
any card authorizations and pending debits. All transactions are
debited or credited from your Available Balance in the order
received.
You may check your available balance via Online Banking
Services. Keep in mind that your Available Balance may not
reflect every transaction you have initiated or previously
authorized. For example, your Available Balance may not include
transactions you have authorized that we have not received.
3.9.4. Debit Card Authorizations
If you are issued a debit card with your Account, you will be
able to use your card to pay for goods or services or conduct
other transactions with a merchant. When you engage in a
transaction with a merchant using your debit card, the merchant
will request preauthorization (“card authorization”) for the
transaction. If there are sufficient available funds in your
Account, we will approve the request and reduce your Available
Balance for as long as the card authorization remains on your
Account.
Your Available Balance will generally be reduced by the amount
of the card authorization.
The card authorization will remain on your Account until the
merchant sends us the final amount of the transaction and
requests payment (“settlement”). In most cases, If the merchant
does not request settlement, or the merchant is delayed in
requesting settlement, the card authorization will automatically
be removed after 3 days. However, certain merchants such as
hotels may hold for a period of up to 7 days.
It is important to understand that the merchant controls the
timing of card authorizations or settlement. A merchant may
request settlement after the card authorization has been removed
from your Account. This means that if you use the funds in your
Account after the card authorization has been removed and the
merchant later requests settlement, your Account may become
overdrawn. A merchant may also request settlement for an amount
that is different than the card authorization. Therefore, it is
important that you keep track of your transactions and your
balance. Once we have approved a card authorization, we cannot
stop the transaction and you will be responsible for repaying
any negative balance that may occur.
3.10. Statements
Statements will periodically be provided to you by email and via the Online Banking Services if your Account is not inactive. You will receive a statement monthly if you have transactions on your Account during the statement period. If there were no transactions on your Account, we may not provide you with statements or may provide you with statements on a less frequent basis. You will not receive paper statements.
3.11. Errors On Your Account and Limitations of Liability
You agree to carefully review your statements and promptly
report to us any errors or unauthorized activity by email at
help@softwrapbank.com
within thirty (30) days after we make the statement available to
you. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement or required by
law, if you do not provide us with timely notice of an error or
unauthorized activity, we will deem our records concerning your
Account to be correct and you agree that we will not be liable
to you for any loss you suffer relating to the error or
unauthorized activity. You further agree that we may debit or
credit your Account at any time and without notice to you to
correct an error or address unauthorized activity.
In any case, our maximum liability to you will never exceed the
amount of actual damages proven by you. Our liability may also
be further reduced by the amount of the loss that is caused by
your own negligence or lack of care, as well as any recovery of
the loss you obtain from third parties. Please refer to Section
4 for additional information concerning errors and unauthorized
transactions involving electronic fund transfers and related
limitations of liability. There may also be other limitations of
liability contained in this Agreement.
3.12. Overdrafts, Nonsufficient Funds and Negative Balances
We do not permit you to overdraw your Account. If the Available Balance in your Account is not sufficient to cover any transaction you have authorized, we may return the transaction or refuse to process the transaction. However, there may be instances where your Account can still go into the negative, such as if a deposit you make is returned. You must make a deposit immediately to cover any negative balance. If your Account has a negative balance for sixty (60) calendar days or more, we may close your Account.
3.13. Closing Your Account and Account Suspensions
You can close your Account at any time and for any reason by
email at help@softwrapbank.com. We reserve the right to refuse
your request if you have a negative balance on your Account. We
recommend that you transfer or withdraw any funds you may have
in the Account prior to submitting a request to close the
Account to avoid delays in receiving your funds.
We may also suspend or close your account at our discretion with
or without notice. This includes if we believe you are using
your Account for fraudulent or illegal purposes or in violation
of law or regulation, this Agreement, any other agreement you
may have with us or Unit, or if you otherwise present undue risk
to us or Unit. We may also close your Account if you have not
made any deposits or withdrawals from your Account in over
twelve (12) months. In addition, cancelling your enrollment in
the Online Banking Services with the Program Partner will result
in our closure of the Account and our return of your funds. We
are not responsible to you for any damages you may suffer as a
result of the closure or suspension of your Account.
If your Account is closed with a balance greater than $1.00, we
will return any funds you may have in the Account to you by ACH
transfer to another bank account or by paper check. We reserve
the right not to return the funds to you if the balance in your
Account is $1.00 or less. The closure of your Account or
termination of this Agreement does not impact any right or
obligation that arose prior to closure or termination, or any
right or obligation that, by its nature, should survive
termination (including, but not limited to, any indemnification
obligation by you, our limitations of liability, and any terms
governing arbitration).
3.14. Dormancy, Inactivity and Unclaimed Property
State law and our policy govern when your Account is considered
dormant. Your Account is usually considered dormant if you have
not accessed your Account, communicated to us about your Account
or otherwise shown an interest in your Account within the period
specified under applicable law. Each state has varying laws as
to when an account becomes dormant, and we may be required to
send the balance in your Account if it becomes dormant to the
state of your last known address. We will make reasonable
efforts to contact you if required by applicable law before
transferring the remaining balance of your Account to the
applicable state. After we surrender the funds to the state, you
must apply to the appropriate state agency to reclaim your
funds. You can avoid the surrender of your funds by simply
conducting transactions, contacting us about your Account or
replying to any abandoned property notices we may provide to
you.
We may also place your Account in an inactive status if you have
not had any transaction for at least six (6) months. If your
Account becomes inactive, you may not receive statements or be
able to conduct certain transactions. Inactive Accounts must be
reactivated. Contact us by email at help@softwrapbank.com to
reactivate your Account.
3.15. Account Fees and Fee Schedule
There are no fees associated with this account. Fees are subject to change at any time. We will provide you advance notice of any changes where required by law.
4. Electronic Fund Transfers
Your Account allows you to withdraw funds up to the Available Balance or make deposits through Electronic Fund Transfers (“EFTs”). EFTs are transactions that are processed by electronic means and include, among others, ACH transfers, debit or ATM card transactions and direct deposits. This Section provides you with information and important disclosures and terms about the EFTs that are permitted on your Account. You may also receive additional services through Online Banking Services provided by the Program Partner, that allow you to initiate EFTs to and from your Account that are not described in this Agreement. You will be provided separate agreements and disclosures applicable to those services by the Program Partner.

- Direct deposits from your employer or other source of income
- Transfers to or from your Account to or from a linked bank
account (see Section 3.6)
- Transfers to or from your Account to a merchant or other third
party by providing the third party with your Account routing
number and account number
- Purchases or other transactions using your debit card
- ATM deposits or withdrawals using your debit card or ATM card
4.2. Limitations on EFTs
There are limitations on the frequency and number of
transactions you can make to or from your Account. These limits
are different for each type of transaction. For limits that
apply to transactions that credit or deposit funds into your
Account, please refer to Section 3.1 concerning deposits. For
limits that apply to transactions that debit or withdraw from
your Account, please refer to Section 3.6 concerning
withdrawals. For limits that apply to transfers to or from your
Account from a linked bank account, please refer to Section 3.7.
These security-related limits may change from time to time.
If you have been issued a debit card or ATM card for your

your use of the card. Please refer to the applicable cardholder
agreement provided to you with your card for information on any
limitations and other terms.
4.3. Documentation of Your Transactions
We will provide you information about each transaction that
debits or credits your Account on your statements. Please refer

receipts at the time you make a withdrawal at an ATM or a
purchase at a point-of-sale terminal when using your card.
4.4. Preauthorized Transfers, Stop Payments and Notices of Varying Amounts
If you authorize us or another company or person to withdraw
from your Account on a regular basis (such as when you sign up
for “autopay” to pay a recurring bill or invoice), it is called
a Preauthorized Transfer. You may request that we place a stop
payment on Preauthorized Transfers, as well as get notification
when the amount of a particular withdrawal will be different
from the amount of the last withdrawal.
4.4.1. How to Request a Stop Payment
If you authorize a third party to take payments from your
Account on a regular basis through a Preauthorized Transfer, you
can place a stop payment on those payments by contacting by
email at help@softwrapbank.com at least three (3) business days
before the next payment is scheduled to be made.
You must provide us with (1) your name, (2) your Account number,
(3) the company or person taking the payments, and (4) the date
and amount of the scheduled payment you wish to stop. If you
want all future payments from that company or person stopped, be
sure to tell us that as well. If you do not provide us with the
correct information, such as the correct payee or the correct
amount of the payment you wish to stop, we may not be able to
stop the payment.
4.4.2. Notices of Varying Amounts
If these regular payments vary in amount, the person or company
you are paying will tell you ten (10) days before each payment
when it will be made and how much it will be. You may be given
the option to only get this notice when the payment will differ
by more than a certain amount from the previous payment, or when
the amount will fall outside certain limits that you set.

reasonable time.

We will respond to notices of errors or unauthorized EFTs and
requests to stop payments in a commercially reasonable manner
and time. You agree that in no event will we be liable in an
amount exceeding the lesser of five thousand dollars ($5,000) or
the actual amount of your loss. You also agree that we will not

- Do not tell us about an error or unauthorized EFT within
thirty (30) days after the first statement showing the error or
unauthorized EFT is made available to you; or
- If you do not provide us with the information necessary to
place a stop payment on a Preauthorized Transfer in a timely
manner.
In addition, we are not liable for any losses you may incur in
any of the following circumstances:
- If the Available Balance in your Account is not sufficient to
complete the transaction through no fault of ours.
- If the ATM you use does not have enough cash.
- If the failure is due to an equipment or system breakdown,

- The failure was caused by an Act of God, fire or other
catastrophe, or any other cause beyond our control despite

reason to believe the transaction is unauthorized or illegal.

5. Wire Transfers
The Account may permit domestic wire transfers through Online Banking Services provided to you by the Program Partner.
5.1. Types of Wire Transfers Supported by Your Account
Your Account may support domestic wire transfers. If wire
services are made available to you, your Account will be able to
both receive and initiate wire transfers.
We may select any means for the transmission of funds that we
consider suitable. We may make use of correspondents, agents,
subagents, and funds transfer and communication systems. Such
third parties shall be deemed your agents, and we shall not be
liable for any errors, delay, misdelivery, or failure of
delivery by any of them unless applicable law says otherwise.
We will not be liable for our inability to perform our
obligations under this Agreement when such inability arises out
of causes beyond our control, including but not limited to, any
act of God, accident, labor disputes, power failures, system
failure, equipment malfunction, suspension of payment by another
bank, refusal or delay by another bank to accept the wire
transfer, war, emergency conditions, fire, earthquake, or the
failure of any third party to provide any electronic or
telecommunication service used in connection with the execution
or cancellation of a wire transfer.
5.2. Types of Wire Transfers Supported by Your Account
There are limitations on the frequency and number of transactions you can make to or from your Account. These limits are different for each type of transaction. For limits that apply to transactions that credit or deposit funds into your Account, please refer to Section 3.1 concerning deposits. For limits that apply to transactions that debit or withdraw from your Account, please refer to Section 3.6 concerning withdrawals. There may be limits on the beneficiaries who can receive a wire transfer you initiate from your Account. These security-related limits may change from time to time.
5.3. Cut-Off Times for Wire Transfers
We have cut-off hours for processing wire transfers. If a wire
request is received by 1:00 PM ET on a Business Day and verified
through our security procedures outlined in the section below
titled “Security Procedures,” funds will be processed the same
business day. If it is received after 1:00 PM ET or on a
non-Business Day and verified through our security procedures,
funds may be processed the next business day.
We may treat any wire transfer request received at or after our
cut-off time as if it was received that business day, or we may
treat it as if it were received at the opening of the next
business day.
5.4. Security Procedures
You agree and consent to the use of certain security procedures
by us to confirm the validity of the wire transfer request made
pursuant to this Agreement. You understand the security
procedures are not designed to detect errors in the content of
the wire transfer request or to prevent duplicate transfers.
Some elements of the procedures will vary, depending upon the
method used to initiate a wire transfer. You hereby agree that
your utilization of any security procedure established hereunder
shall constitute your agreement to its use and affirmative
acknowledgment of its commercial reasonableness.
You further agree that any wire transfer request that is acted
upon in good faith by us in compliance with these security
procedures, whether in fact authorized by you, shall constitute
an authorized wire transfer.
5.5. Liability for Incorrect Wire Transfers
You are responsible for providing us with the accurate name and
account number for wire transfers, and we are responsible for
transmitting money to the account number you provided.
When you provide us with a name and account number for us to
process a wire transfer, we may make payment solely on the basis
of the account number, even if the account number identifies a
person different from the beneficiary so named. We or an
intermediary bank may send a wire transfer to an intermediary
bank or beneficiary's/designated recipient's bank based solely
on the bank identifying number, even if the payment order
indicates a different name. You should be very careful when
providing the account number for a wire transfer.
If you have provided us with the wrong account number, there may
be no way to correct the error or retrieve the funds. You agree
that you will pay the amount of a wire transfer even in such
circumstances. You are responsible for any losses resulting from
an incorrect account number or your misidentification of the
beneficiary/designated recipient.
If you think a wire transfer is wrong or if you need more
information about a wire transfer, you must contact us by email
at
help@softwrapbank.com
as soon as possible and no later than fourteen (14) days after
you receive your monthly statement. If you don’t tell us about
an error, we will not have any obligation to pay interest on the
amount of an unauthorized or erroneous wire transfer for which
we are liable, and you will also be liable to us for any damages
or losses we may incur.
5.6. Payment
You must pay us the amount of the wire transfer, plus any applicable fees, before we will execute the wire transfer request. Please see Section 3.15 of this Agreement for fees applicable to wire transfers.
5.7. Execution of Wire Transfers
A wire transfer request is considered accepted by us when we
execute it. Please refer to Section 5.3 concerning cut-off times
for more details. You can verify whether your wire transfer
request has been executed by email at
help@softwrapbank.com
, live agent chat, or phone at
1-442-264-2765
.
We have no responsibility to accept any incoming wire
transfer(s) for your benefit. Likewise, we have a right to
reject any wire transfer request(s) for an outgoing wire
transfer for reasons including, but not limited to, insufficient
or uncollected funds in the account specified in the wire
transfer request, a request that fails any requires security
procedures, our inability to execute the wire transfer for the
reasons set out in the section of this agreement entitled method
used to make the wire transfer above, or if we are unable to
verify the authenticity of the wire transfer request. If we stop
a domestic outgoing wire transfer, we will refund the fee.
If we determine, in our sole discretion, not to honor, execute,
or accept a wire transfer request, we will make reasonable
efforts to notify you. We will also make reasonable efforts to
notify you promptly if a wire transfer is returned to us after
its execution. In either case, we shall have no liability by
reason of our delay or failure to provide you with notice, and
we shall have no obligation to resend a wire transfer if we
complied with the original wire transfer request and such wire
transfer was returned to us.
5.8. Cancellation or Amendment of Wire Transfer
Once we receive a wire transfer request, it may not be able to be canceled or amended. However, at our discretion, we may use reasonable efforts to act on any request for cancellation or amendment, provided that the method by which we are notified of a request for cancellation or amendment complies with our security procedures. However, we shall have no liability if such cancellation or amendment is not affected. You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any and all liabilities, claims, damages, costs, and expenses we may incur in attempting to cancel or amend the wire transfer. any cancellation or amendment of a wire transfer by us shall relieve us of any obligation to act on the original wire transfer request.
5.9. Our Liability for Failure to Complete a Wire Transfer
We shall be responsible only for performing the wire transfer service expressly provided for in this Agreement; provided however, we shall be liable only for our own gross negligence or willful misconduct in performing such service. We shall not be liable to any third party or for any act or omission of yours or any third party, including, but not limited to, third parties used by us in executing a wire transfer or performing a related act and no such third party shall be deemed to be our agent. IN NO EVENT SHALL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DIRECT, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS, LOSSES OR EXPENSES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE WIRE TRANSFER SERVICE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SAME. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the maximum period for which we shall be liable for interest on any amount to be refunded or paid to you with respect to an unauthorized, erroneous, or other wire transfer request is thirty days.
5.10. Your Liability for Unauthorized Wire Transfers
Except as otherwise provided by law, you shall be liable for any loss or damage to which your negligence contributed or which resulted in unauthorized, fraudulent, or dishonest acts by your current and/or former authorized representatives. Such liability includes instances when a current or former authorized representative effects one or more wire transfers or improper use of telephone security procedures to effect a wire transfer to your detriment.
5.11. Compliance with Anti-Money Laundering and Exchange Control Regulations and OFAC Enforced Sanctions
You agree to observe all Anti-Money Laundering and Exchange
Control laws and regulations including economic and trade
sanctions promulgated by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of
the U.S. Department of Treasury in relation to any wire
transfer, and you will use all reasonable endeavors to assist us
to do likewise. You agree that the information given to us by
you is accurate. We may disclose any information given to us
that we in our sole discretion think necessary or desirable to
disclose; except we will only disclose confidential information
if required by law, a court, or legal, regulatory, or
governmental authority, or as permitted by law to combat,
prevent, or investigate issues arising under anti-money
laundering laws, economic sanctions, or criminal law.
Sometimes legal, regulatory, or governmental authorities require
additional information, either in respect of individuals,
entities, or certain transactions. You agree to promptly supply
all such information, which any such authority may require,
and/or which we may be required to supply, in relation to the
individual, entity, or particular transaction.
If you, or your authorized representative, breach any such laws
or regulations, you irrevocably agree that we may retain any
monies or funds transmitted to us pursuant to this Agreement
and/or not fulfill any wire transfer request if we are required
to take or refrain from such action by any legal, regulatory, or
governmental authority or if we reasonably believe that such
action may violate any laws or regulations described herein, and
such monies shall not bear interest against us. You further
agree that we may pay such monies to the appropriate legal,
regulatory, or governmental authority, if and when required by
law.
6. Check Deposits and Mobile Deposit Services
You can only deposit checks into the Account using the mobile
deposit capture services (the “MDC Services,” as further
described herein) and in accordance with the terms of this

Account from a compatible mobile device by scanning or
photographing checks and delivering the images and associated
deposit information to us or our designated processor. By using
the MDC Services, you agree to comply with all applicable laws
and regulations and National Automated Clearing House
Association (NACHA) rules that apply to remote deposit check
capture processing and ACH transaction processing.

Federal rules for Check 21 allow banks to replace original
checks with “substitute checks,” as defined in Check 21. Below
are the details and your rights related to substitute checks.
6.1.1. Substitute Checks
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 law with respect
to those transactions.

with or without notice to you.

You agree that images deemed to be Ineligible Items (see Section 6.4) may not be transmitted to your Account and will be rejected by us. You further agree that the image of the Eligible Item transmitted to us will be deemed an “item” within the meaning adopted in the Uniform Commercial Code of the Virginia of your Account.

images of items that:
- are not payable in United States currency;

with the technical requirements we may specify from time to time
(the “Technical Requirements”). You are responsible for all
expenses you incur to meet the Technical Requirements. We
reserve the right to change the Technical Requirements at any
time without prior notice.
You are responsible for reviewing and validating the accuracy
and completeness of any information you transmit to us,
including but not limited to the amount indicated on the item

deposit and payment. Do not destroy the item transmitted as an
image until you see the full deposit amount posted when you view
your transaction history via the Online Banking Services.

representation of an item that is:

to render the provisions enforceable.

dispute arising under this Agreement or relating in any way to
your relationship with us that is not arbitrated will be
resolved in a federal or state court located in Virginia and
that you will be subject to such court’s jurisdiction.
Except where prohibited by law, you agree that you must file any
lawsuit or arbitration against us within two (2) years after the
claim arises unless federal or Virginia law, or another
agreement you have with us, provides for a shorter time. If
federal or Virginia law requires a longer period than the
periods in this Agreement, you agree to the shortest period
permitted under the law.
8. Arbitration and Waivers
BE SURE THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS PROVISION CAREFULLY AND UNDERSTAND THAT IT LIMITS YOUR RIGHTS IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND US.
8.1. Election to Arbitrate
You,SoftWrap LLC and the Bank agree that the sole and exclusive forum and remedy for resolution of a Claim be final and binding arbitration pursuant to this Section 7 (the “Arbitration Provision”). As used in this Arbitration Provision, “Claim” shall include any past, present, or future claim, dispute, or controversy involving you (or persons claiming through or connected with you), on the one hand, and us on the other hand, relating to or arising out of this Agreement, and/or the activities or relationships that involve, lead to, or result from this Agreement, including the validity or enforceability of this Arbitration Provision, any part thereof, or the entire Agreement. Claims are subject to arbitration regardless of whether they arise from contract; tort (intentional or otherwise); a constitution, statute, common law, or principles of equity; or otherwise. Claims include matters arising as initial claims, counter‐claims, cross-claims, third-party claims, or otherwise. Please note that you may continue to assert Claims in small claims court, if your Claims qualify and so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis. The scope of this Arbitration Provision is to be given the broadest possible interpretation that is enforceable.
8.2. Applicability of the Federal Arbitration Act; Arbitrator’s Powers
This Arbitration Provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce and shall be governed by and enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act (the “FAA”). The arbitrator will apply substantive law consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations. The arbitrator may award damages or other types of relief permitted by applicable substantive law, subject to the limitations set forth in this Arbitration Provision. The arbitrator will not be bound by judicial rules of procedure and evidence that would apply in a court. The arbitrator shall take steps to reasonably protect confidential information.
8.3. Informal Dispute Resolution
If a Claim arises, our goal is to address your concerns and, if we are unable to do so, to provide you with a neutral and cost-effective means of resolving the dispute quickly. You agree that before filing any claim in arbitration, you will first submit your Claim to us by email at help@softwrapbank.com and provide us with the opportunity to resolve your concern prior to initiating arbitration.
8.4. Arbitration Procedures
The party initiating arbitration shall do so with the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) or Judicial Alternatives and Mediation Services (“JAMS”). The arbitration shall be conducted according to, and the location of the arbitration shall be determined in accordance with, the rules and policies of the administrator selected, except to the extent the rules conflict with this Arbitration Provision or any countervailing law. If you have any questions concerning the AAA or would like to obtain a copy of the AAA arbitration rules, you may call 1(800) 778-7879 or visit the AAA's web site at: www.adr.org . If you have any questions concerning JAMS or would like to obtain a copy of the JAMS arbitration rules, you may call 1(800) 352-5267 or visit their web site at: www.jamsadr.com . In the case of a conflict between the rules and policies of the administrator and this Arbitration Provision, this Arbitration Provision shall control, subject to countervailing law, unless all parties to the arbitration consent to have the rules and policies of the administrator apply. The arbitration will be held in the United States county where you live or work, or any other location we agree to.
8.5. Arbitration Fees
If we initiate arbitration, we shall pay all the administrator's filing costs and administrative fees (other than hearing fees). If you initiate arbitration, filing costs and administrative fees (other than hearing fees) shall be paid in accordance with the rules of the administrator selected, or in accordance with countervailing law if contrary to the administrator's rules. We shall pay the administrator's hearing fees for one full day of arbitration hearings. Fees for hearings that exceed one day will be paid by the party requesting the hearing, unless the administrator's rules or applicable law require otherwise, or you request that we pay them and we agree to do so. Each party shall bear the expense of its own attorneys' fees, except as otherwise provided by law. If a statute gives you the right to recover any of these fees, these statutory rights shall apply in the arbitration notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein.
8.6. Appeals
Within 30 days of a final award by the arbitrator, any party may appeal the award for reconsideration by a three-arbitrator panel selected according to the rules of the arbitrator administrator. In the event of such an appeal, any opposing party may cross-appeal within 30 days after notice of the appeal. The panel will reconsider de novo all aspects of the initial award that are appealed. Costs and conduct of any appeal shall be governed by this Arbitration Provision and the administrator's rules, in the same way as the initial arbitration proceeding. Any award by the individual arbitrator that is not subject to appeal, and any panel award on appeal, shall be final and binding, except for any appeal right under the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
8.7. No Class Actions
NO ARBITRATION SHALL PROCEED ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR
COLLECTIVE BASIS (INCLUDING AS PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ON
BEHALF OF OTHERS), EVEN IF THE CLAIM OR CLAIMS THAT ARE THE
SUBJECT OF THE ARBITRATION HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN ASSERTED (OR
COULD HAVE BEEN ASSERTED) IN A COURT AS CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, OR
COLLECTIVE ACTIONS IN A COURT.
Unless consented to in writing by all parties to the
arbitration, no party to the arbitration may join, consolidate,
or otherwise bring claims for or on behalf of two or more
individuals or unrelated corporate entities in the same
arbitration unless those persons are parties to a single
transaction. Unless consented to in writing by all parties to
the arbitration, an award in arbitration shall determine the
rights and obligations of the named parties only, and only with
respect to the claims in arbitration, and shall not (a)
determine the rights, obligations, or interests of anyone other
than a named party, or resolve any Claim of anyone other than a
named party; nor (b) make an award for the benefit of, or
against, anyone other than a named party. No administrator or
arbitrator shall have the power or authority to waive, modify,
or fail to enforce this Section 7.7, and any attempt to do so,
whether by rule, policy, arbitration decision or otherwise,
shall be invalid and unenforceable. Any challenge to the
validity of this Section 7.7 shall be determined exclusively by
a court and not by the administrator or any arbitrator.
8.8. Survival and Severability of Arbitration Provision
This Arbitration Provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement. If any portion of this Arbitration Provision other than Section 7.7 is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions of this Arbitration Provision shall nevertheless remain valid and in force. If there is a final judicial determination that applicable law precludes enforcement of this Arbitration Provision’s limitations as to a particular claim for relief or particular term, then that claim (and only that claim) or that term (and only that term) must be severed from the Arbitration Provision and may be brought in court. If an arbitration is brought on a class, representative, or collective basis, and the limitations on such proceedings in Section 7.7 are finally adjudicated pursuant to the last sentence of Section 7.7 to be unenforceable, then no arbitration shall be had. In no event shall any invalidation be deemed to authorize an arbitrator to determine Claims or make awards beyond those authorized in this Arbitration Provision.
8.9. Judicial Forum for Claims
Except as otherwise required by applicable law, if this Arbitration Provision is found not to apply to you or your Claim, you and the Bank agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in the federal or state courts of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Both you and the Bank consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there. We both agree to waive our right to a jury trial.
8.10. WAIVER OF RIGHT TO LITIGATE
THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO LITIGATE CLAIMS THROUGH A COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY, BUT ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVING THAT RIGHT BY AGREEING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ARBITRATION PROVISION.
