If you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after the statement was mailed to you, you may not get back any money lost after the sixty (60) days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money if you had told us in time.

DEPOSIT ACCOUNT AGREEMENT AND DISCLOSURE
INTRODUCTION. In this Deposit Account Agreement and Disclosure, each and all of the depositors are referred to as “you” and “your.” Sunny Day Fund and Portage Bank are referred to as “we,” “our,” and “us.” This Deposit Account Agreement contains the terms and conditions governing certain of your deposit accounts with us. As used in this document, the term “Agreement” means this document, the signature card, Truth in Savings disclosures (“TISA”), and an Electronic Funds Transfer Agreement and Disclosure, if applicable. Each person signing the signature card for a deposit account acknowledges receipt of this Agreement and agrees to the terms set forth in the Agreement, as amended from time to time. You agree that we may waive, in our sole discretion, any fee, charge, term, or condition set forth in this Agreement at the time the Account is opened or subsequent thereto, on a one-time basis or for any period or duration, without changing the terms of the Agreement or your obligation to be bound by the Agreement, and we are not obligated to provide similar waivers in the future or waive our rights to enforce the terms of this Agreement.
DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS. From time to time, we may offer, or you may open a variety of deposit accounts. Each such account (the “Account”) is subject to the general terms and conditions and any specific terms and conditions relating to that type of account that may be set forth in this Agreement. If you open multiple Accounts, you may receive TISA information for each Account, but this Agreement will cover all your Accounts with us. You will be liable to us for debit balances in the Account, and promise to pay, upon demand, any and all debit balances, all fees and charges, and our reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs and expenses of collection, including but not limited to those incurred at trial and on any appeal.
FDIC Insurance. For any deposit accounts you open, the FDIC requires the Bank to disclose, and you hereby acknowledge, that deposits held by Portage Bank are insured up to the $250,000 federal deposit insurance limit, per depositor for each ownership category in totality at the Bank. FDIC deposit insurance coverage only protects against the failure of an FDIC-insured depository institution, not the failure of Sunny Day Fund Solutions, Inc. For more information, visit: https://www.fdic.gov/resources/deposit-insurance/brochures/insured-deposits.
INTEREST. The following information applies: (A) Payment of Interest. We will pay interest at the annual rate specified on the TISA, which does not reflect compounding (“Interest Rate”). The TISA also sets forth the frequency of interest payments, the frequency of any compounding and crediting, the interest accrual basis, the balance on which interest will be paid, and any minimum balance requirements. (B) Interest Compounding and Crediting. The TISA will indicate the interest compounding and crediting frequency for your Account. Compounding generally means that interest is being accrued on earned interest. Interest may be compounded more frequently than interest is credited to your Account. (C) Interest Accrual. We may accrue interest on your Account more frequently than we pay or credit interest. The interest that has been calculated, but not paid to the Account, is called accrued unpaid interest. (D) Changes. We have the right to change the rates and fees in accordance with the terms of the TISA. We also reserve the right to change any other term of this Agreement at our sole discretion.
FEES AND CHARGES. Subject to applicable law, you agree to pay us the fees and charges shown in the TISA as are applicable to your Account or for other services performed by us. You agree the fees and charges may be changed by us from time to time and authorize us to charge your account for their payment whether or not each charge results in an overdraft of your account. Existing and future charges may be based upon the overall costs of providing account services and may or may not be based upon the direct cost or expense associated with providing the particular service involved. The charges may be based on consideration of profit, competitive position, deterrence of misuse of account privileges by customers, and the safety and soundness of the financial institution. We will notify you of the changes, to the extent required by law.
BALANCE METHODS. As used in this Agreement, the “daily balance” method means “the application of a daily periodic rate to the full amount of principal in the account each day.”
DEPOSIT RULES. The following terms apply to deposits made to your Account: (A) Deposits to the Account. You understand that this Account is being opened for the purpose of receiving deposits from your employer(s). Accordingly, unless otherwise notified, only your employer(s) may deposit funds into your Account. (B) Linking Bank Accounts.

If enabled by Sunny Day Fund, you may link your external account(s) with your Account by (i) logging into your financial institution on Sunny Day Fund’s Website or Application, or (ii) by providing the account and routing details for the external account and verifying the two (2) micro deposits we send to your external account the next business day. We may also verify your control of the external account by requiring you to submit proof of ownership of the external account(s). All linked accounts must be with financial institutions in the United States. We may decline the use of any external account that we believe may present a risk to you and/or us. By linking your external account to your Account, and by subsequently logging into your linked account(s) through the Sunny Day Fund Website or Application, you authorize us to view your account history and profile, including, but not limited to, your account and routing details, authentication details, balance, transaction history, contact information, and other related information made available by such external financial institution; and you understand this information may be used to transact on your behalf and perform other services subject to our Privacy Policy. When adding an external account, you represent and warrant that you are the owner of and have the right to access, use and authorize us to use the account for information and funds transfer purposes. If any of your linked accounts has a joint account holder, you represent and warrant that the joint account holder has consented for you to represent both you and them, and to use the external account with the Sunny Day Fund service. If you do not have such consent, you should not use that external account, and we will terminate your use of the linking service if we are notified of such a situation. If you close any of your external accounts, you are responsible for removing it as an account eligible for the linking service to avoid any transaction failure and possible charges related to a failed transaction. We are not responsible for any acts or omissions by the external financial institution or other provider of any linked external bank account, including, without limitation, any modification, interruption, or discontinuance of any linked external bank account by such financial institution, service provider or Sunny Day Fund. (C) Direct Deposits. If enabled by Sunny Day Fund for your Account, your Account number and bank routing number may be used for the purpose of initiating direct deposits to your Account.

(E) Our Right to Charge Back Deposited Checks or Electronic Transfers. If you deposit a check or receive an electronic transfer as provided in this Agreement and (i) the paying bank returns it to us unpaid; (ii) the paying bank or the issuer of a check demands that we repay them because the check was altered, forged or unauthorized, is missing a signature or endorsement, or has a forged endorsement; or (iii) the sending bank or the originator of an item demands that we return the item because it was unauthorized, sent to the wrong account number or procured by fraud, we may pay the return or demand, and subtract the funds from your Account. If we have reason to believe that any of the events in the previous sentence have occurred or may occur or that the check or other item should not have been paid or may not be paid for any other reason, we may place a hold on the funds or move them to a non-customer account until we determine who is entitled to them. (F) Right to Reject Any Deposit. We may refuse any check for deposit, with or without cause, or may elect to take a check on a collection basis only. We are under no obligation to accept any item, wire, electronic funds transfer, or other transaction for deposit to your Account or for collection, and we may refuse to cash or give value for any such item. We may restrict access to any deposit credited to your account that violates any laws of the United States, including those giving rise to OFAC sanctions. Unless the Bank specifically permits you to do so, you may not deposit any substitute check that has not been previously handled by a bank in the collection process. This means you cannot deposit a substitute check you create, or one that is created by another person, unless we enter into an agreement to do so. Nevertheless, if a substitute check is received for deposit, you will be responsible for any losses you or another person suffers relating to that substitute check.
WITHDRAWAL RULES. The following terms apply to withdrawals from your Account: (A) Manner of Withdrawal. You may make withdrawals from your Account in any manner that is permitted by us for the type of Account that you have opened. Withdrawals and transfers from your Account may be restricted as provided in the Agreement, or in the TISA, or by applicable law. (B) No Overdrafts. You are not permitted to overdraw your Account. If the available balance in your Account is not sufficient to cover any payment or withdrawal you have authorized, we may refuse to process the payment or withdrawal. If your Account balance becomes negative for any reason, you must make a deposit immediately to cover the negative balance. If your Account has a negative balance and you have another account with us, we reserve the right to exercise our right to set off. See section (C) below. If your Account has a negative balance for sixty (60) calendar days or more it will be closed. If you fail to pay the amount of any overdraft, we reserve the right to refer your overdrawn account to an attorney for collection, and you agree to pay all reasonable expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees and court costs incurred by us as a result of your account being overdrawn. (C) Right to Set Off. If your Account balance becomes and remains negative, we can use the funds in any of your accounts with us to repay the negative balance in your Account without any further notice to or demand on you. Moreover, we have the right to set-off any liability, direct or contingent, past, present or future that you owe against any account you have with us. Further, you grant us a lien on and security interest in the funds deposited in each of your account(s) as security for all of your liabilities and obligations to us, now or in the future. (D) Notice Requirements. Federal regulations require us to retain the right to require you to give at least seven (7) days’ notice in writing prior to any intended withdrawal from your savings account. Although we usually pay withdrawals without notice on these accounts, doing so does not mean that we give up this right. (E) Power of Attorney. The person executing a power of attorney will be referred to as the principal and the person acting for the principal as the agent. We may refuse to comply with a power of attorney for reasonable cause, or until we receive an affidavit from the agent stating that the Power of Attorney presented is a true copy and that, to the best of the agent’s knowledge, the principal is alive and that the relevant powers of the agent have not been altered or terminated. (F) Internet Gambling; Illegal Transactions. We may, but are not required to, deny authorization for any internet gambling transactions. You agree not to use your Account or our services for online gambling or any illegal activity. We may refuse to process any transaction that we believe may violate the terms of this Agreement or applicable law. You acknowledge and agree that we have no obligation to monitor, review or evaluate the legality of your transactions and Account activity. You agree that using Bank services or your Account for illegal activity will be deemed an action of default and/or breach of contract and, in such event, our services and/or any of your Accounts may be terminated at our discretion. You further agree that should illegal use occur, you waive any right to sue us for such illegal use or any activity directly or indirectly related to it, and you agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any suits, legal action, or liability directly resulting from such illegal use. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to pay for any transaction that you authorized, even if that transaction is determined to be illegal.
Limits on Transfers from your Savings Account. Currently there are no limits to the number of transactions from the Savings Account per most recent federal regulations. However, prior federal regulations limited the number of transfers from the Savings Account to six (6) per statement cycle. If such limits were reintroduced by federal regulations, any transfers initiated from the Savings Account to an external linked account after the sixth transfer via the Website or Application will be blocked until the start of the next statement cycle; and in such a case, at the beginning of the next statement cycle, access to transfer from the Savings Account will be restored to six (6) for that cycle.
SAVINGS ACCOUNTS. A savings account is an interest-bearing account used to hold your deposits and make limited number of online transactions, as provided herein.
STOP PAYMENT ORDERS. If you have scheduled a one-time or a recurring ACH transfer via the Sunny Day Fund, you may stop or cancel that transfer by following the procedures defined here.
To stop a preauthorized ACH transfer you initiated via the Sunny Day Fund Application, either one-time or recurring, use the Sunny Day Fund Application to cancel such payment. If you are unable to cancel or stop the payment via the Sunny Day Fund Application, you can contact Sunny Day Fund, at +1 (571) 397-2975 or email at support@sunnydayfund.com, to request cancellation of the transfer. Cancellation is not guaranteed.
To stop a recurring transfer that you have authorized a third-party to debit, please contact that third party to request the cancellation of the recurring payment. If the third party is unable or unwilling to stop the transfer, please contact Sunny Day Fund, at +1 (571) 397-2975 or email at support@sunnydayfund.com, to request a stop on the payment. Stop payment is not guaranteed.
If you wish to stop a recurring transfer, your request to stop the transfer must be received at least three (3) business days before the transfer is scheduled to occur. You should specify whether you wish to stop one recurring payment or all recurring payments. You must specify the name of the payee, the dollar amount of the payment and the date of the payment. We will be liable for your losses or damages if you requested the stop payment at least three (3) business days before the transfer was scheduled to occur and we did not stop the payment.
In the case of an authorized third-party debit transfer, if the written stop payment notification is not received at least fourteen (14) days before the transfer was scheduled to occur, the payment in question will be honored as originally authorized and future payments will not be permanently stopped.
If you give us incorrect information, we will not be liable for failing to stop payment on the item or authorization. Our acceptance of a stop payment order will not constitute a representation that the item or authorization has not already been paid or that we have a reasonable opportunity to act upon the order. You may not stop payment on an official, certified, cashier’s, or teller’s check issued by us, or request us to stop payment if we have otherwise become accountable for the item or authorization. Further you may not stop payment on an item or authorization after acceptance of the same by us.
INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNT. This account is an Individual Account in the name of one depositor only.
You may name a beneficiary as set forth below; however, this individual will not be considered a joint account holder. The Account cannot be owned or titled jointly, by an organization, as Payable on Death (“POD”), “For Benefit of” (FBO), or “In Trust For” (“ITF”).
Beneficiary. You may elect to voluntarily name a beneficiary who will be contacted in the event we are trying to reach you and unable to do so. This beneficiary may be eligible for receiving the remaining balance in your Account upon proof of your death and their proof of will or testament. Naming a beneficiary on Sunny Day Fund is not sufficient for the immediate transfer of deposits without further evidence of your will and their identity.
Death or Incapacitation. You or your appointed party, designee, or appointed individual agree to notify us promptly if you become legally incapacitated, are deemed incompetent, or die. We may continue to accept deposits and process transaction instructions into and from your Account until we are: (a) notified of your death or adjudication of incompetency and (b) have a reasonable opportunity to act on that knowledge. You agree that, even if we have knowledge of your death, we may pay or process transactions on your Account executed on or before the date of death for up to ten (10) days after that date unless ordered to stop payment by someone claiming interest in the Account. We may require additional documentation to confirm any claims made on the Account, even if the claimant is named beneficiary in the Application, as stated above.
ASSIGNABILITY. The account established under this Agreement is not assignable or transferable.
FINANCIAL INSTITUTION LIABILITY. You agree that if we do not properly complete a transaction according to the Agreement, we will not be liable in any event for losses or damages in excess of the amount of the transaction, and we will not be liable if circumstances beyond our control prevent the transaction, or the funds in your Account are or may be subject to legal process or other claim. In no event will we be liable for consequential damages. In receiving items from you for withdrawal or deposit, we act only as your agent. You are responsible for the condition of a check or item when you issue it. We reserve the right to refuse any item for deposit or to reverse credit for any deposited items or to charge your Account for items should they become lost in the collection process.
Legal Processes Affecting Accounts. If we are served with a subpoena, government agency request for information, restraining order, writ of attachment or execution, levy, garnishment, search warrant, forfeiture or similar order or legal process relating to your Account (termed “legal action” in this section), regardless of the jurisdiction of the issuing authority, we may rely on the representations made in the legal action and comply with the legal action, regardless of the jurisdiction of the issuing authority or the location of the Bank at which the legal action is received. In these cases, we will not have any liability to you if there are insufficient funds to pay your items because we have withdrawn funds from your Account or in any way restricted access to your funds in accordance with the legal action. If you believe your funds are exempt from legal action, or otherwise should not be subject to legal action (for example, if you own funds and the legal action applies to another joint owner, you believe the court, garnisher, or levying authority lacks jurisdiction over you or the property, or you believe the garnishment or levy names the wrong party as garnishee), you agree that it is your responsibility to raise any defense to the legal action against the party who originated the legal action, and you agree that we have no obligation to do so. Any fees or expenses we incur in responding to any legal action (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and our internal expenses) may be charged against your Account. Unless expressly prohibited by law, we will charge your account a fee for each legal action received, regardless of whether the action is subsequently revoked, vacated or released.
DORMANT ACCOUNTS. Your state may have unclaimed property laws that govern when accounts are considered abandoned. Your account is usually considered abandoned if you have not made a deposit or withdrawal, or signed in to your online Account, for a specified period of time. We are required by the unclaimed property laws to turn over accounts considered abandoned to the applicable state that you specified as your primary state of residence at the time of account opening. Before we turn over an abandoned account, we may send a notice to you by e-mail or to the address we show for the account statement. Unless prohibited by law, we may charge to your Account our costs and expenses of any notice, payment and turnover of the remaining balance of your Account to the applicable state. Washington State laws will apply on unclaimed or abandoned property related to this Account.
ACCOUNT STATEMENTS. You are responsible for promptly examining your statement each statement period and reporting any irregularities to us. Each account statement will be considered to correctly reflect your transactions, such as deposits, withdrawals, credits, refunds, imposition of fees, interest, and other additions and subtractions to your Account, unless you notify us in writing within certain time limits after the statement that incorrectly reflects your transactions is made available to you. You must report any other Account problem including encoding errors, and errors involving additions or subtractions (debits and credits) not otherwise covered herein, including electronic transactions not covered by the Electronic Fund Transfer Act, within Sixty (60) calendar days.
WHOLESALE WIRE AND ACH TRANSACTIONS. With respect to wire transfers or other transfers of funds not governed by the Electronic Funds Transfer Act, you agree to enter into and comply with our wire transfer (if applicable) agreement and to comply with our security procedures and this section. We advise you that any receiving financial institution (including us) is entitled to rely on any account or bank number you have provided even though that account or bank number may identify a party different from the person or entity you have described by name in any transfer order.
(A) Provisional Payment. Credit given by us to you with respect to an ACH credit or wholesale (wire) funds transfer entry is provisional until we receive final settlement for such entry through a Federal Reserve Bank. If we do not receive final settlement, you are hereby notified and agree that we are entitled to a refund of the amount credited to your Account in connection with such entry, and the party (the originator of the entry) making payment to you via such entry shall not be deemed to have paid you the amount of such entry.
(B) Notice of Receipt. We will notify you of the receipt of payments in the periodic account statements we provide to you. You acknowledge that we will not give next day notice to you of receipt of an ACH or wholesale (wire) funds transfer item. You can also contact Sunny Day Fund, at +1 (571) 397-2975 or email at support@sunnydayfund.com, to obtain information about any particular direct deposit or transfer.
NOTICES. The following terms apply to notices relating to your Account. (A) Notice of Amendments. You agree that the terms and conditions of the Agreement, including without limitation all rates, fees, and charges, may be amended by us from time to time. We will notify you of amendments as required by applicable law. Your continued use of the Account evidences your agreement to any amendment. Notices will be sent to the most recent email address shown on our records for your Account. (B) Account Changes. Any account holder or person authorized to sign on an account is required to notify us in writing if any account holder or other person authorized to sign on an account dies or is declared incompetent by a court. It is your responsibility to notify us of any change in your address or name. We are required to honor items drawn only on the listed Account name. Further, we are required to attempt to communicate with you only at the most recent address provided to us.
ACCOUNT TERMINATION. You and we agree that either of us may close your Account and terminate this Agreement at any time with or without cause. We will provide written notice to you in advance if we decide to terminate your Account relationship for any reason other than abuse of the account relationship or to prevent a loss. You agree that advance written notice from us will be reasonable if it is mailed to your statement email address immediately upon account closure. You agree that in instances of account abuse or to prevent a loss, notice is reasonably given by us if emailed immediately upon account closure. You may close any of your accounts by notifying us in writing. We will consider your Account closed on the 90th day having a zero balance. When an interest-bearing account is closed, there may be accrued interest that has not been credited to the account. In that case, we will pay you the interest UNLESS we have told you otherwise. Further, for security reasons, we may require you to close your Account and to open a new account if: there is a change in authorized signers; there has been a forgery or fraud reported or committed involving your Account; any Account checks are lost or stolen; you have too many transfers from your Account; or any other provision of our Agreement with you is violated. After the Account is closed, we have no obligation to accept deposits or pay any outstanding checks. You agree to hold us harmless for refusing to honor any check drawn on a closed account. In the event that we close your Account, we may mail you a Cashier’s Check for the applicable remaining Account balance. The termination of this Agreement and closing of an account will not release you from any fees or other obligations incurred prior to the date upon which this Agreement is terminated and an account closed, any fees assessed by us in the process of closing an account, or from your responsibility to maintain sufficient funds in an account to cover any outstanding checks or other debit items. If you terminate your relationship with Sunny Day Fund, the Account will automatically be closed. Upon closure, any remaining funds in the Account will be converted and returned to you in accordance with this Section. If the agreement between Sunny Day Fund and the Bank is terminated, this Account may be terminated. In this case, Sunny Day Fund shall send you a notice with the applicable procedures. Unless you are notified otherwise, upon termination, Sunny Day Fund will instruct the Bank to return any remaining funds in the Account in a check mailed to the address on file associated with the Account. The Bank’s obligations to you will be fully satisfied by mailing a check in the appropriate amount to the address specified by Sunny Day Fund.

Costs of Arbitration. You and we will be responsible for paying the fees of the arbitrator and any administrative fees charged by the Administrator according to the rules and procedures of the Administrator. We will also pay or reimburse you for all or part of other arbitration fees, if the arbitrator determines there is good reason to do so, and we will pay any fees and costs, which we are required to pay by law or by the rules and procedures of the Administrator. In addition, in the event that you receive an arbitration award that is greater than our last written settlement offer, the arbitrator shall have the discretion to require us to pay your attorneys’ fees and costs. Otherwise, each party will bear its own attorneys’ fees and costs, regardless of who prevails.
The arbitrator’s decision is final and binding on the parties, except for any right of appeal provided by the Federal Arbitration Act. Costs will be allocated in the same way as costs are allocated in arbitration by a single arbitrator. A final and binding award is subject to judicial review only as provided by the Federal Arbitration Act. An arbitration award will be enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act by any court having jurisdiction.
GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with all applicable federal laws and all applicable substantive laws of the State of Washington in which the Bank is located and where you opened your account. In addition, we are subject to certain federal and state regulations and local clearing house rules governing the subject matter of the Agreement. You understand that we must comply with these laws, regulations, and rules. You agree that if there is any inconsistency between the terms of the Agreement and any applicable law, regulation, or rule, the terms of the Agreement will prevail to the extent any such law, regulation, or rule may be modified by agreement.
SYSTEMS AND SOFTWARE. We shall not be responsible to you for any loss or damages suffered by you as a result of the failure of systems and software used by you to interface with our systems or systems and software utilized by you to initiate or process banking transactions whether such transactions are initiated or processed directly with our systems or through a third-party service provider. You acknowledge that you are solely responsible for the adequacy of systems and software utilized by you to process banking transactions and the ability of such systems and software to do so accurately.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. If you or your Account becomes involved in any legal proceedings, your use of the Account may be restricted. You agree not to use the Account in any illegal activity. We shall be entitled to act upon any legal process served upon us which we reasonably believe to be binding, with no liability to you for doing so. You understand that supervisory personnel may randomly monitor customer service telephone conversations to ensure that you receive accurate, courteous, and fair treatment. If you ask us to follow instructions that we believe might expose us to any claim, liability, or damages, we may refuse to follow your instructions or may require a bond or other protection, including your agreement to indemnify us. You agree to be liable to us, to the extent permitted by law, for any loss, costs, or expenses that we may incur as a result of any dispute or legal proceeding involving your Account. You authorize us to deduct any such loss, costs, or expenses from your Account without prior notice to you or to bill you separately. This obligation includes disputes between you and us involving your Account and situations where we become involved in disputes between you and an authorized signer, a joint owner, or a third party claiming an interest in your Account. It also includes situations where any action taken on your Account by you, an authorized signer, a joint owner, or third party causes us to seek the advice of an attorney, whether or not we actually become involved in a dispute. Any action by us for reimbursement from you for any costs or expenses may also be made against your estate, heirs and legal representatives, who shall be liable for any claims made against and expenses incurred by us. If a court finds any provision of the Agreement to be invalid or unenforceable, such finding shall not make the rest of the Agreement invalid or unenforceable. If feasible, any such offending provision shall be deemed to be modified to be within the limits of enforceability or validity; however, if the offending provision cannot be so modified, it shall be stricken and all other provisions of the Agreement in all other respects shall remain valid and enforceable.
Standard of Care. Limitation of Liability. Our liability for losses you incur in connection with your Account is limited to actual damages proved that are proximately caused by our failure to exercise ordinary care. Nevertheless, if we make an error in your favor by excessively crediting or insufficiently debiting your account for any reason, including, without limitation, to the giving of credit in excess of a corresponding account debit, you agree that you immediately owe us the amount in error, whether you relied on the error or not. You agree to waive your rights to a jury and to punitive and exemplary damages and further agree to be subject to all parts of the arbitration provision. Damages for any breach of this Agreement are limited to those that are direct and lie in contract and will exclude indirect and consequential damages. Also excluded are damages in tort, including but not limited to those for emotional distress, unless caused by a willful and malicious act, which in the case of the unauthorized disclosure of private or confidential information must also be defamatory. In return, we also waive our same rights in any such action, cross-action or claims in arbitration we may file against you. We will have no liability for acting on instructions from you accepted or interpreted by us in good faith according to the terms of this Agreement, declining to act on instructions whose authenticity or accuracy cannot be verified to our satisfaction, or not acting on instructions not actually received.
Except as required by applicable law, we will have no liability to you if we are unable to complete a transaction for any reason beyond our control. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or as otherwise required by applicable law, we, any affiliates, and the parties with whom we and our affiliates contract in order to offer your Account and related services are neither responsible nor liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages arising out of or relating in any way to your Account, any products or services purchased using the Account, or this Agreement (as well as any related or prior agreement you may have had with us).
By accepting this Agreement, you acknowledge that the Bank will not be liable for acting for the purpose of compliance with any applicable law or regulation.
You shall indemnify and defend us and our officers, directors, employees, agents, and representatives, and hold each of them harmless, against suit, judgment, asserted claim, demand, excise taxes, claims, liabilities or losses, including fees of counsel, interest and other expenses, arising directly or indirectly from your breach of your obligations under this Agreement or those arising from the instructions or actions of you or of third parties whom you have permitted to direct, manage, view or otherwise act or omit to act in connection with your Account. If we and our officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives are entitled to indemnification against a claim under this Agreement, we shall give you prompt notice of the claim and any further pleadings, communication or other information connected with it. You shall defend us, and our officers, directors, employees, agents, and representatives, or pay for the cost of its defense, as we or our officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives shall elect. The parties shall cooperate for the cost-effective defense of the claim, and us and our officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives shall not settle any claim for which indemnification is demanded without your consent.
