However, in the event that a charge or transaction described in this section is approved and processed, you will still be liable for the charges.

3.9 Funds Transfer Services

Funds transfers to or from your Account will be governed by the rules of the funds transfer system(s) through which the transfers are made (“system rules”), including Fedwire, the National Automated Clearing House Association (“NACHA”), the Clearing House Interbank Payments System (“CHIPS”), and the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (“SWIFT”). We are under no obligation to honor, in whole or in part, any payment order or other instruction that could result in our

contravention of applicable law, including requirements of the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”). For additional information on electronic fund transfers generally, see below. For additional information on ACH transactions specifically, see the relevant titled sections below.

If your Account receives incoming ACH transactions (either credits or debits) or wire transfers initiated from within or outside of the United States, both you and we are subject to the Operating Rules and Guidelines of NACHA, or the rules of any wire transfer system involved, and the laws enforced by OFAC. Under such rules and laws, we may temporarily suspend processing of a transaction for greater scrutiny or verification against the OFAC list of blocked parties, which may result in delayed settlement, posting and/or availability of funds.

We reserve the right to temporarily suspend, block or reject the processing of any transaction, to freeze or block certain funds or the full balance of any Account, account owner, account beneficiary, or Authorized User (each, a “Restricted Person”), in each case to the extent we deem reasonably necessary to comply with any notice, order, regulation, rule, requirement or restriction issued or promulgated by OFAC (collectively, the “OFAC Rules”). To comply with OFAC Rules, we may temporarily suspend processing of a transaction or the availability of a balance for greater scrutiny or verification against the OFAC list of blocked parties, which may result in delayed settlement, posting and/or availability of funds. If we determine there is a violation or potential violation of the OFAC Rules, or if we cannot satisfactorily resolve a suspected or potential violation, we may reject such transaction or freeze or block the subject funds or full balance of any Account or Restricted Person. If we block the subject funds and you believe you have adequate grounds to seek the return of any blocked funds, it is your sole responsibility to pursue the matter with the appropriate governmental authorities. Please see the OFAC website for procedures and form required to seek a release of blocked funds.
You also will observe all anti-money laundering and exchange control laws and regulations, including economic and trade sanctions promulgated by OFAC, in relation to any funds transfer, and you will use all reasonable efforts to assist us to do likewise. You warrant 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 with respect to individuals, entities, or particular transactions. You warrant that you will 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 User, 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 funds 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 will not bear interest against us. You further agree that we may pay such monies to the appropriate legal, regulatory, or governmental authority, when required by law or regulation.

3.10 How We Post Transactions To Your Account and Determine Your Available Balance

3.10.1 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.

3.10.2 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 below 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.

3.10.3 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.

Your balance is accessible through the Online Banking Services or by contacting us as indicated above. 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.

3.11 Statements

Statements will periodically be provided to you by through the Online Banking Services as long as your Account is not inactive. You will receive a statement monthly as long as 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.

3.12 Errors On Your Account and Limitations of Liability

You will carefully review your statements for your Account and all cards and will promptly report to us any errors or unauthorized activity by email at the address indicated above 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 and all cards to be correct and 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.

Please refer to the relevant section below for additional information concerning errors and unauthorized transactions involving electronic fund transfers and related limitations of liability.

3.13 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.

3.14 Closing Your Account and Account Suspensions

You can close your Account at any time and for any reason by email at the contact provided above. 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, or suspend, or disable any service or feature of 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, if multiple transactions are returned on your Account, or if you otherwise present undue risk to us or our third-party service providers.

Accounts with a zero balance will continue to be charged any applicable fees until you request to close your Account. We may close an Account with a zero balance on the fee period ending date or at month end without prior notification to you. Once an Account is closed (either by you or us), no fees will be assessed on the Account.
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.

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.

We are not responsible to you for any damages you may suffer as a result of the closure or suspension of your Account. 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 all indemnifications obligation by you, our limitations of liability, and all terms governing arbitration).

3.15 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 of time 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 to reactivate your Account.

3.16 Account Fees and Fee Schedule

You will pay all fees and charges applicable to your Account. All fee amounts will be withdrawn from your Account and will be assessed regardless of whether you have sufficient funds in your Account, except where prohibited by law. Fees are subject to change at any time. We will provide you advance notice of any changes where required by law.

Fee Description Fee Amount and Frequency
Account opening fee $0
ACH standard transaction fee $1.00+0.01%/transaction
Same day ACH transaction fee $5.00+0.01%/transaction

4. Electronic Fund Transfers

5. ACH Origination Service

5.1 Description of ACH Origination Service

The ACH Origination Service allows you to instruct us to create and/or send a NACHA formatted file on your behalf to execute the transfer of funds to another financial institution to disburse funds or to make payments to another party via the system. All transactions executed through the ACH Origination Service described above will be collectively known as (“ACH transactions”). The ACH Origination Service is only accessible through the Online Banking Services. Your use of and access to the ACH Origination Service is separate and apart from your ability to facilitate transfers via ACH to a connected bank account (see Section 3.7).

We will facilitate only Internet-Initiated/Mobile Entry (“WEB”) and Corporate Credit or Debit Entry (“CCD”) ACH transactions through the ACH Origination Service. We will select, at our sole discretion, whether to facilitate any given ACH transaction as a WEB transaction or CCD transaction.

Unless otherwise defined in this Agreement, capitalized terms that appear in this Section 5 will have the meanings set forth in the Rules of NACHA.

5.2 Processing Deadlines

Except as provided in Security Procedures in Section 5.4 below, we will (a) process entries received from you to conform with the file specifications set forth in the Rules, (b) transmit such entries as an Originating Depository Financial Institution to the Federal Reserve Bank, and (c) settle for such entries to the specified accounts as provided in the Rules.

We will transmit such entries to the Federal Reserve Bank by the deadline of the ACH one (1) business day prior to the effective entry date shown in such entries, provided (i) such entries are received 3:00 PM ET on a business day, (ii) the effective entry date is at least two (2) days after such business day, and (iii) the Federal Reserve is open for business on such business day. A “business day” is a day in which the Federal Reserve Bank is opened to the public for carrying on substantially all of its business, other than a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday.

If any of the requirements of clause (i), (ii), or (iii) listed above are not met, we will use reasonable efforts to transmit such entries to the Federal Reserve Bank by the next deposit deadline on which the Federal Reserve is open for business.

7. 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.

7.1 Election to Arbitrate

You, Program Partner, 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 (the “Arbitration Provision”). As used in this Arbitration Provision, “Claim” will 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, counterclaims, 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.

You have the right to opt-out of this arbitration clause and it will not affect any other terms and conditions of this Agreement or your relationship with us. TO OPT OUT, YOU MUST NOTIFY US IN WRITING OF YOUR INTENT TO DO SO WITHIN SIXTY (60) DAYS AFTER OPENING YOUR ACCOUNT. Your opt-out notice can be a letter that is signed by you that states “I elect to opt out of the arbitration clause in my Business Deposit Account Agreement for Account #” or any words to that effect. Send the notice to: 210 East Main Street, Rogersville, TN 37857. An election to opt out applies only to the account or accounts identified in your opt-out notice or, if no specific accounts are identified in your notice, then to any account(s) that became subject to the arbitration clause within the sixty (60)-day period before we received your notice. The arbitration clause will apply to any claims between us relating to any account(s) for which we do not receive an opt-out notice as described in this subsection.

7.2 Applicability of the Federal Arbitration Act; Arbitrator’s Powers

This Arbitration Provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce and will 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 will take steps to reasonably protect confidential information. In any arbitration arising out of or related to this Agreement, the arbitrator will apply the limitation of liability set forth above and, for the avoidance of doubt, is not empowered to award (a) punitive or exemplary Losses, except where permitted by statute, or (b) incidental, indirect or consequential Losses, or Losses for lost profits. The parties waive any right to recover all such Losses.

7.3 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 the address specified above and provide us with the opportunity to resolve your concern prior to initiating arbitration.

7.4 Arbitration Procedures

The party initiating arbitration will do so with the Judicial Alternatives and Mediation Services (“JAMS”). The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator according to,and the location of the arbitration will 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 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 will 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.

7.5 Arbitration Procedures

If we initiate arbitration,we will 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) will 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 will pay the administrator’s hearing fees for one (1) full day of arbitration hearings. Fees for hearings that exceed one (1) 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 will 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 will apply in the arbitration notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein.

7.6 Appeals

Within thirty (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 thirty (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 will 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,will be final and binding,except for any appeal right under the FAA,and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

7.7 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 will determine the rights and obligations of the named parties only,and only with respect to the claims in arbitration,and will 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 will have the power or authority to waive,modify,or fail to enforce this section,and any attempt to do so,whether by rule,policy,arbitration decision or otherwise,will be invalid and unenforceable. Any challenge to the validity of this section will be determined exclusively by a court and not by the administrator or any arbitrator.

7.8 Survival and Severability of Arbitration Provision

This Arbitration Provision will survive the termination of this Agreement. If any portion of this Arbitration Provision other than the subsection titled “No Class Actions” is deemed invalid or unenforceable,the remaining portions of this Arbitration Provision will 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 the previous subsection are finally adjudicated pursuant to the last sentence of that subsection as unenforceable,then no arbitration will be had. In no event will any invalidation be deemed to authorize an arbitrator to determine Claims or make awards beyond those authorized in this Arbitration Provision.

7.9 Judicial Forum for Claims

Except as otherwise required by applicable law,in the event that 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 Tennessee. Both you and the Bank consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there. All parties agree to waive our right to a jury trial.

7.10 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.
