12. RETURNED AND DELAYED PAYMENTS

Additionally, due to circumstances not directly within our control, such as delays in handling and posting payments by other financial institutions or Payees, Payees’ inability to accept a form of payment, or other delays in the payment clearing process, some transactions may take longer to be credited to a Payee account to which you have made a payment. You agree that we are not responsible for any delays in payment for any reason.

13. CANCELLING OR STOPPING PAYMENTS

If you provide advance approval for a payment, you may cancel any such payment by contacting Chek so long as (i) such cancellation occurs before the Cut-Off Time, as defined in Section 3, on the day that such approval is scheduled to be effective, and (ii) processing of the payment has not yet begun. After the Cut-Off Time, as defined in Section 3, on the approval’s effective date or once processing has begun, then a payment cannot be cancelled or edited. If the processing for a payment has begun, then you may request that we attempt to stop the payment. We will use reasonable efforts to stop such payments, but you agree that neither Bank nor Service Provider will have any liability in connection with any stop payment request and that we may be unable to stop a payment. Any request to stop a payment must include the Payee name, the Payee account number, and the amount and date of the payment request.

Accordingly, Bank disclaims any and all liability arising out of, resulting from or related to, such events, and in no event shall Bank be liable for any damages of any kind (whether in contract, in tort, or otherwise) that are attributable or in any way related to the internet infrastructure or your or Bank’s ability or inability to connect to the internet. You understand that, while Bank and its service providers have established certain security procedures, such as firewalls, codes, and/or data encryption designed to prevent unauthorized access to your accounts or transactions, there can be no assurance that inquiries or transaction activity will be completely secure. You agree that Bank is not responsible for any such unauthorized access, delays, or malfunctions, and Bank is not responsible for the acts of third parties.

17. CONSENT TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY OF NOTICES

You agree that any notice or other type of communication provided to you pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and any future disclosures required by law, including electronic fund transfer disclosures, may be made electronically by posting the notice on the Platform or e-mailing you, to the extent allowed by law. Any notice we send you will be deemed to have been received by you within three days of being sent. If any of your accounts has more than one co-owner, notice to any one co-owner will be considered effective notice to all. You may request a paper copy of the information up to sixty days after receiving our electronic message. You agree to notify us immediately of any change in your email address.

18. TERMINATION OF THE SERVICES

You may terminate the Services at any time by indicating that you wish to terminate by contacting us at the e-mail address or customer service telephone number set forth in the terms of use for the Platform, at https://chekpayments.com/terms-conditions. We will treat a valid termination request from you through the Platform as effective on the following Business Day. We also may, but are not required to, honor any termination request that you provide through other means.

When your termination request is effective, we will cancel any pending payments, but we are not required to stop any payments that are already in progress. You will remain responsible for any amounts you owe us under this Agreement. We may terminate your access to the Services and/or this Agreement at any time and for any reason without notice unless required by law.

19. GOVERNING LAW

This Agreement is governed by applicable federal law and by Delaware law. However, in the event you default, and we file a lawsuit to recover funds loaned to you, the statute of limitations of the state where the lawsuit is filed will apply, without regard to that state’s conflicts of laws principles or its “borrowing statute.”

20. ARBITRATION

RIGHT TO REJECT ARBITRATION. IF YOU DO NOT WISH THIS AGREEMENT AND THE SERVICES TO BE SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING ARBITRATION PROVISION, YOU MUST ADVISE US IN WRITING. YOU MUST CLEARLY PRINT OR TYPE YOUR NAME AND ACCOUNT NUMBER AND STATE THAT YOU REJECT ARBITRATION. YOU MUST GIVE WRITTEN NOTICE; IT IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO TELEPHONE US. WE MUST RECEIVE YOUR LETTER OR E-MAIL WITHIN SIXTY (60) DAYS AFTER YOU GAIN ACCESS TO THE SERVICES OR YOUR REJECTION OF ARBITRATION WILL NOT BE EFFECTIVE.

This paragraph describes how all Claims (as defined below) will be arbitrated, at the election of you or us, on an individual (non- class, non-representative) basis instead of litigated in court.

Definitions. The term Claim means any claim, dispute, or controversy between you and us or the Service Provider arising from or relating to this Agreement, the Services or the Platform, or any payment or transaction relating to or arising from the Services, the Platform, or any Payment Account, as well as any related or prior agreement that you may have had with us or the Service Provider, or the relationships resulting from this Agreement, including the validity, enforceability or scope of this arbitration provision or the Agreement. Claims arising in the past, present, or future, including Claims arising before the execution of this Agreement, are subject to arbitration. Claim includes, without limitation, claims that arise from or relate to any application for the Services or any advertisements, promotions, or statements related to the Services or the Platform. For purposes of this Arbitration provision, you and us also includes any corporate affiliates, any licensees, predecessors, successors, assigns, any purchaser of any accounts, all agents, employees, directors and representatives of any of the foregoing, and other persons referred to below in the definition of Claim. Claim includes claims of every kind and nature, including but not limited to initial claims, counterclaims, cross-claims, third-party claims, and claims based upon contract, tort, fraud, and other intentional torts, statutes, regulations, common law, and equity. Claims and remedies sought as part of a class action, private attorney general action, or other representative action are subject to arbitration on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis, and the arbitrator may award relief only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis. Claim also includes claims by or against any third party relating to or arising from your Card, your Account, or this Agreement. The term Claim is to be given the broadest possible meaning that will be enforced. Administrator means the American Arbitration Association, 120 Broadway, Floor 21, New York, NY 10271, www.adr.org, (800) 778-7879; or JAMS, 18881 Von Karman Ave., Suite 350, Irvine, CA 92612, www.jamsadr.com, (949) 224-1810.

Right to Elect Arbitration. We OR you have the right to require that each Claim be resolved by arbitration on an individual (non-class, non- representative) basis. A Claim will be arbitrated if (1) both we and you or (2) only one or the other of we or you, exercise the right to require that the Claim be arbitrated. If, for example, we exercise our right to require that the Claim be resolved by arbitration, but you do not also exercise your right to require that the Claim be arbitrated, the Claim will be resolved by arbitration. If neither we nor you request arbitration, the Claim will not be resolved by arbitration and instead will be litigated in court. We will not elect arbitration for any Claim you file in small claims court, so long as the Claim is individual and pending only in that court. The arbitrator’s authority to resolve Claims is limited to Claims between you and us alone, and the arbitrator’s authority to make awards or decisions is limited to you and us alone. Furthermore, Claims between you and us may not be joined or consolidated in arbitration with Claims brought by or against someone other than you, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by all parties. However, multiple persons using the Services, or corporate affiliates, are considered one person for the purposes of this paragraph. No arbitration award will have any preclusive effect as to issues or claims in any dispute involving anyone who is not a party to the arbitration. This arbitration provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce and will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) (9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq.).

No Jury Trial or Class Claims. If we or you request arbitration of a Claim, we and you will not have the right to litigate the Claim in court. This means (1) there will be no jury trial on the Claim, (2) there will be no pre-arbitration discovery except as the Administrator’s rules permit, and (3) no Claim may be arbitrated on a class-action, private attorney general, or other representative basis, and neither we nor you will have the right to participate as a representative or member of any class or group of claimants pertaining to any Claim subject to arbitration. We or you may elect to arbitrate any Claim at any time unless it has been filed in court and trial has begun or final judgment has been entered.

Initiation of Arbitration. The party initiating an arbitration shall select an Administrator from the organizations listed above. If none of the Administrators listed above will accept the arbitration, the arbitration will be administered by an administrator, or adjudicated by an arbitrator, upon which you and we agree in writing. The arbitration shall be governed by the procedures and rules of the Administrator and this Agreement, which need not apply federal, state or local rules of procedure and evidence. The Administrator’s procedures and rules may limit the discovery available to you or us. You can obtain a copy of an Administrator’s procedures and rules by contacting the Administrator. A single, neutral arbitrator will resolve Claims. The arbitrator will be either a lawyer with at least ten years’ experience or a retired or former judge, selected in accordance with the rules of the Administrator. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this arbitration provision and the Administrator’s rules or other provisions of this Agreement, this arbitration provision will govern. The arbitrator will take reasonable steps to protect customer account information and other confidential information if requested to do so by you or us. Arbitration hearings for Claims by or against you will take place in the federal judicial district in which you reside. At the end of the arbitration, the arbitrator will decide if you have to repay the advance (and if you do have to repay, you agree to do so). Unless applicable law requires otherwise, we will pay our, and you will pay your, lawyers’, experts’, and witnesses’ fees. The arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations, will honor claims of privilege recognized at law, and will have the power to award to a party any damages or other relief provided for under applicable law. The arbitrator will make any award in writing and, if requested by you or us, will provide a brief statement of the reasons for the award.

Arbitration Award and Appeals. Judgment upon the arbitrator’s award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction. The arbitrator’s decision regarding any claims will be final and binding, except for any appeal right under FAA. The appealing party will pay the appeal costs. This agreement to arbitrate shall survive any suspension, termination, revocation or closure of the Agreement or your Account, and any bankruptcy to the extent consistent with applicable bankruptcy law.

Enforcement of this Provision. If any part of this arbitration provision cannot be enforced, the rest of the arbitration provision will continue to apply. However, an arbitrator cannot enlarge his or her authority over the adjudication of Claims beyond that provided by this arbitration provision by enforcing only part of this arbitration provision. If an arbitrator determines that applicable law requires this arbitration provision to be enforced in a way that would result in greater authority over claims than otherwise allowed, such as the adjudication of claims on a class or representative basis, then the arbitrator must decline to hear the dispute and shall refer the parties to a court or other body with sufficient authority. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this arbitration provision and the Administrator’s rules or other provisions of this Agreement, this arbitration provision will govern.

21. OTHER TERMS

Our inability to perform under this Agreement due to force majeure events will not be considered a breach or default.
