Eligible Accounts.  If you wish to add a new Account to, or remove an existing Account from, Service access, you must call us at (866) 626-6004.  We are not, however, obligated to establish access to any or all of your Accounts, and not all Services may be available with all Accounts.  Some Services may not be available without special application to and approval by us, or may be limited to specific types of Accounts.

Eligible Accounts include the following types: checking, money market, savings and time deposits.  In some cases, we may allow loans and lines of credit to be linked, in which case you agree that the relevant loan agreement, note or other document is modified to the extent necessary to allow the transfers or other Services that may be utilized.  We may process transactions from loan Accounts without regard to access limitations in any loan documentation or agreements.  Certificates of deposit are time deposits where early withdrawals may result.  No online transactional activity is allowed on certificates of deposit, which are view only.  Accessibility to Accounts may vary based on the Service(s) you use.

Compliance with Laws and Rules.  You agree to comply with all state and federal laws, rules and regulations applicable to you and to your use of the Services (the “Laws”), including the operating rules of all systems used to provide Services to you (the “Rules”), and to provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to us of the same if requested by us.  You agree not to use the Service for any illegal purpose, including but not limited to illegal Internet gambling.  Without limitation, you agree and acknowledge that the Services may not be used by you in violation of the laws of the United States, including sanction laws administered by the Office of Foreign Asset Controls.  You acknowledge and agree that the software you use to access Services may be subject to restrictions and controls imposed by the Export Administration Act and the Export Administration Regulations.

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

Transfer Limitations.  For certain types of transactions/transfers from a money market or savings account, you are permitted to make no more than six transfers and withdrawals, or combination of them, per calendar month or statement cycle, to another account or to a third party by means of a preauthorized or automatic transfer, or telephonic (including data transmission) agreement, order or instruction, including by check, draft, debit card or similar order by you and payable to third parties.  If you exceed these limits, we may impose a fee, close or convert your Account, limit your use of the Services, or any combination of the foregoing.  Refer to the Service Fees and Charges Section of this Agreement.

Cut-Off Hours

A Communication received by us after the cut-off time on a business day, or on a day that is not a business day, may be treated by us as if it were received on the next business day.  At our option, however, we may treat it as received the same day as the day of receipt.  There can be a delay between the time when you send a Communication to us and the time we receive it.  Cut-off hours vary depending on the applicable Service and may be changed by us from time to time.  For more information on our current cut-off hours, refer to your separate agreements for Services accessible through the Digital Banking Service, as applicable, or contact us at 866-626-6004.

Computer Equipment and Software to Access the Services

You are responsible for providing and maintaining any equipment that is necessary for the Services, such as telephones, terminals, modems and computers.  You agree to use equipment that is compatible with our programs, systems and equipment, which we may change from time to time.  We assume no responsibility for the defects or incompatibility of any computers or software that you use in connection with the Services, even if we have previously approved their use.  WE MAKE NO WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN LAW OR IN FACT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR OF MERCHANTABILITY, WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES, OR ANY COMPUTER PROGRAMS, EQUIPMENT OR SOFTWARE MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU.  You agree to notify us promptly if any software or equipment we provide to you becomes defective.  Our sole responsibility (if any) in such instances will be to repair or replace the defective software or equipment.

To use the Services, you must have a sufficiently powerful computer hardware and appropriate software.  Some Services may require you to download software from a third party; in some cases, we may place software on your computer as part of our security and/or verification tools.  You agree to maintain the confidentiality of your password at all times and not to provide access to them to anyone that you do not authorize to access your Accounts through the Services.  Encryption of data transmissions does not guarantee privacy.  Data transferred via the Services is encrypted in an effort to provide transmission security.  Notwithstanding our efforts to insure that the Services are secure, you acknowledge that the Internet is inherently insecure and that all data transfers (including transfer requests and electronic mail) occur openly on the Internet.  This means that the data transfers potentially can be monitored and read by others.  You expressly acknowledge that any wireless access to the Services initiated by you may not be secure and, in such cases, you assume the risk associated with unauthorized access to the Service and any information contained therein, resulting from such wireless connectivity.  For business accounts (as applicable), you agree to implement and maintain administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect against unauthorized access to or use of any Account information which you may access or store on your computer or other data storage systems.

Privacy and Confidentiality

All information gathered from you in connection with using the Service will be governed by the provisions of our privacy policy, as well as our online privacy policy, which you agree to review by accessing on our website.

In addition, we will disclose information to third parties about your Account or the transfers you make:

  • Where it is necessary for completing transfers;
  • In order to verify the existence and condition of your Account for a third party, such as a credit bureau or merchant;
  • In order to comply with government agency or court orders; or
  • If you give us your written permission.

Linking Accounts

Accounts which are “linked” under the Services must have a common owner.  Any signer on any linked Account, acting alone, is authorized by you to access and use Services for any other linked Account, whether or not that person would be authorized to transact on the other linked Account in the absence of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, you represent and warrant that you have authorization from the Account owner to engage in each Service used by you affecting an Account that is linked.  You make this representation and warranty at the time the Accounts are linked and each time you use a Service to access or transact on an Account.  These representations and warranties are in addition to any others contained in this Agreement or in any supplemental agreements that may be required by us.

Login Credentials

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement for business accounts, during your enrollment for the Services, you are required to select or will be assigned certain numbers, codes, marks, signs, public keys or other means of authenticating your identity and electronic communications in your name.  These may include a customer number, logon name, and password.  These credentials will give access to your Accounts through the Service.

You agree to change all passwords with sufficient frequency so as to protect confidentiality.  We recommend no less frequently than once per year.

You agree to keep all passwords confidential.  Passwords should not be easy to guess: for example, your children’s or pet’s names, birth dates, addresses or other easily recognized identification related to you.  It is also recommended you do not have your browser automatically remember your password.  We may offer to you or require you to use additional authentication tools or methods from time to time.  If you choose not to implement supplemental authentication tools, your access to some or all Services may be limited.  The term “Security Codes” will include any supplemental authentication tools that are used by you.

Contact In Event of Unauthorized Transfer

If you believe your password has been lost or stolen:

Call us at 866-626-6004   Or write us at: Bank of Marin
P.O. Box 2039
Novato, CA  94948-2039

Notices and Contacting Us

Written Notice

You may send any notice or communication that you are required or permitted to give the Bank under this Agreement by U.S. mail, to:  Bank of Marin, P.O. Box 2039, Novato, CA  94948-2039.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, any such notice or communication, regardless of how delivered to us, will not be effective until we receive and have had a reasonable opportunity to act upon such notice or communication.

You authorize us to, and you agree that we may, send any notice or communication to you via paper or electronic means.  These include a change in terms notice, termination of a Service or Services notice, and rejection or acceptance of a payment transfer instruction.  Electronic means may include e-mail (to your e-mail address, as it appears on the Bank’s records), postings on our website, and postings through our Secure Message Center, referenced below.  You agree that notice or communication via electronic means will be effective and deemed delivered to you when we make the notice of communication available to you in such a manner.  You agree to notify us promptly about any changes in your e-mail or mailing address.  Further, you acknowledge and agree that no such change will be effective until we have had a reasonable opportunity to act upon such notice.

Secure Message Center

Secure messages may be sent to us concerning this Agreement or the Services by using the Messages option in the Digital Banking Service.  We will not be expected to act upon requests or instructions sent to us by Secure Message until we actually receive your message and have a reasonable opportunity to act upon it.  In this respect, you understand that, though technically received, such messages are not always immediately read and may go unnoticed for a significant period of time.  Consequently, such messages will not be deemed to have been received until read by an appropriate Bank representative.

You agree not to rely on Messages if your request or instruction needs a prompt response or reaction from us.  For example, if you need to stop payment on a check, to report a lost or stolen card or to report an unauthorized transaction from one of your Accounts, you should contact Bank immediately by calling your branch or us at 866-626-6004.

Check Stop Payment Services

You may request a stop payment on a check issued on your Account(s) by completing the information required through the Digital Banking Service system as part of the check stop payment Service and submitting all the required information to us (“Check Stop Payment”).  All Check Stop Payment requests will be subject to our current policy.  For significant or material items, contact us by coming to one of our branches or by telephone in addition to using the Services for Check Stop Payment.  You are responsible for reviewing all information available to you to determine whether the check has already been paid, including your Account statements.  Information available online may not include sufficient historical information to verify whether the check has been paid.  Your receipt of a Check Stop Payment confirmation via the Service, or acceptance of your request via the Service, does not conclusively represent whether or not the check has already been paid.  In any event, we must receive your Check Stop Payment request sufficiently in advance to provide us with a reasonable opportunity to process your request in sufficient time prior to presentment of the check.  There will be a fee assessed for each Check Stop Payment request whether or not we receive the request in time to place the Check Stop Payment.  Refer to the Fee Schedule for the fees applicable to the Check Stop Payment Service.

You must give us timely, complete, and accurate information as prompted by the Service, including the check date, payee, EXACT amount of the check, and the check number.  If any information is incomplete or inaccurate, we will not be responsible for failing to stop payment on the check.

You may use the Check Stop Payment Service to stop payment on checks that you have written against your Accounts.  If you wish to cancel or amend any other Service transaction, you should contact your branch; you will be subject to any limitations or inability to stop applicable to that Service.

You may not use the Check Stop Payment Service to stop payment on any ACH/EFT transaction, point-of-sale ACH/EFT transfer; any cashier’s check, certified check or other official institution check you have purchased from us or any check which we have guaranteed.  You understand that your Check Stop Payment request is conditional and will not be effective if we have not had a reasonable opportunity to respond to your request, or that stopping payment may subject us to risk of loss or damages under any law or regulation (including clearing house or other processor rules).

A Check Stop Payment request against a check is effective only against the check that is described in the Check Stop Payment request information provided through the Check Stop Payment Service; and does not cancel or revoke any authorization for future or recurring ACH/EFT transfers by you or by the same biller or originator.  A Check Stop Payment request is effective for six (6) months only and will expire automatically, at which time you are responsible for any renewal desired by you for another six (6) month term.

Transfer Services

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, you may only transfer funds between your linked Accounts with us, excluding certificates of deposit, or transfer funds to your external accounts with other financial institutions within the United States.  You must not use the Service to transfer funds to or from an account that you do not own.  Transactions posted to your Account as of a certain business day may not be reflected in account balances reported by the Service until the following business day.  Information on transfers to or from your accounts with us will be reflected on your periodic statements, will be available to you online, and can be obtained by calling us at 866-626-6004.  We do not provide any other notice of the receipt, transmittal or debiting of funds transfers.

Scheduling Fund Transfers.  You may instruct us to initiate single or recurring fund transfers on any business day (the “Transfer Process Date”).  If the Transfer Process Date for an automatic transfer falls on a weekend or holiday, the transfer may be sent the following business day. To initiate a transfer, you must specify the account to be debited, the account to be credited, the transfer amount, and the Transfer Process Date.  For consumer customers, refer to the section below entitled “Provisions Specific to Consumer Accounts” for additional information and terms concerning the right to stop the payment of a preauthorized payment.

External Transfers for consumer accounts only).  Before you can transfer funds to or from an account you maintain at another financial institution, the account must be set up and verified through our Digital Banking website.  Set-up for these accounts may require you to verify one or more micro-deposits to or withdrawals from to the account.  Depending on the transfer type and your actions, it may take several days for an account to be set up and verified.  Each time you instruct us to transfer funds to or from an account you maintain at another financial institution, you warrant to us that you are an owner of that account, that you are authorized to use the Service for that transaction, and that no other person’s authorization is required.  We may charge your account for the transfer amount as early as the Transfer Process Date and credit the funds to an omnibus account our vendor uses to process transactions.

ACH Authorization For External Transfers. You agree and acknowledge that when you use the External Transfer Service to initiate ACH transfers to or from your accounts at other financial institutions, you authorize us to initiate an ACH transaction to your external account.  You agree and acknowledge that the origination of all ACH transactions to your account must comply with U.S. law.  Also, you agree that the rules governing the ACH credits and debits will not apply to any type of transfer request for which the ACH was not actually utilized.

You agree and acknowledge that we are not required to give you next day notice after our receipt of any ACH credit for a rejected or returned transfer request; instead, notification is sufficient by posting the re-credited amount to the applicable deposit account used for the debit and listing it on your periodic statement.

Credit given by us to you with respect to an ACH request 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 the ACH request.  Funds credited to your account as a result of ACH debits originated by you with us may be held until the fourth business day following the credit to your Account.

You must provide accurate information regarding your External Transfer requests, including external account routing number and account number. If you describe any beneficiary or institution inconsistently by name and account or identifying number, we and other institutions may process the ACH request solely on the basis of the number, even if the number identifies a person or entity different from the named beneficiary or institution. We may also process an incoming ACH request based on the account number, rather than on any inconsistent name reflected in the ACH request.

Erroneous Transfer Instructions.  You assume sole responsibility for accurately describing transfer amounts, dates, accounts, financial institutions, and addresses.  We are not responsible for confirming such information, or for identifying or refusing to process duplicate transfer instructions.  If you give us a transfer instruction that is incorrect in any way, you agree that we may charge your account for the transfer whether or not the error could have been detected by us.  We are not obligated to detect or correct errors in your transfer instructions.

Rejecting Transfer Instructions.  We may reject transfer instructions with or without cause or prior notice.  We may reject a transfer instruction, for example, if you do not have sufficient available funds to cover the transfer or the transfer instruction is unclear, ambiguous or incomplete.  If we reject a transfer, you may need to re-enter the information if you wish to make the transfer at a later date.

Changing or Cancelling Transfer Instructions.  You may cancel a Transfer at any time until it begins processing (as shown in the Service).  We will, to the extent permitted by law, make reasonable attempts to return any unclaimed, refused, refunded, prohibited, or denied transfer to your Account or your account at another financial institution that we debited for an External Transfer.  If this is unsuccessful (for example, if your account at the other financial institution has been closed) we will make reasonable attempts to otherwise return the funds to you.We may also require you to present your request in writing within fourteen (14) days after contacting us by telephone.  The charge for each such request will be the charge for such service as set out in our Fee Schedule provided to you.

Loan Transfers

Eligible Loan Transfer Accounts.  Accounts eligible for loan transfers (“Loan Transfers”) will be determined in our discretion.  You agree that the relevant loan agreement, note or other document is modified to the extent necessary to allow the transfers or other Services that may be utilized pursuant to this Agreement.  We may process transactions from loan Accounts without regard to access limitations in any loan documentation or agreements.

One-Time Advance/Payment.  You can use the Loan Transfer feature to make recurring and non-recurring “on-us” loan Account advances (“Loan Advance(s)”) and payments (“Loan Payment(s)”).  The Loan Transfer will be processed on the Loan Transfer processing date (“Loan Payment Processing Date”); provided that the Loan Payment Processing Date selected by you is a business day and you submit your one time Loan Transfer instruction prior to the Loan Transfer cutoff hour for that date.  If you select a Loan Payment Processing Date that is not a business day or submit your Loan Transfer instruction after the Loan Transfer cutoff hour for that date, then the Loan Payment Processing Date may be the next business day.  Loan Advances will only occur to the extent there are sufficient available funds on the eligible loan Account, as determined by the terms and conditions of the applicable loan documents and agreements, including, but not limited to, the promissory note, governing the loan Account.

Loan Payments.  You may designate the Loan Payment as a regular installment or an interest/principal only payment.  If funds transferred will be applied as a reduction in principal only, funds will be applied as unscheduled reductions of principal and as such will not satisfy the installment obligations under the payment schedule for the loan Account or pay accrued interest.  If funds transferred will be applied as a regular installment payment, you are responsible for ensuring that you initiate an Loan Payment instruction in time for the payment to be received by us before its due date.   We are not responsible for any damages, costs or fees you may suffer if you do not allow sufficient time between the Processing Date and the due date.

Loan Transfer Changes and Cancellation.  You may change or cancel a Loan Transfer instruction via the Service as long as you submit the change or cancellation request  prior to the loan transfer cutoff time for that date and you follow the Loan Transfer instructions provided by the Loan Transfer feature for changes and cancellations.

Provisional Credit.  You agree that any credit by us to you for any Loan Transfer is provisional until we have received final settlement for such Loan Transfer.  We may delay availability of provisional credit at our discretion.  If final settlement is not received, we are entitled to and you agree to pay a refund of the amount credited; we may charge your account for the amount due.

Security Interest in Accounts

Except as may be limited or restricted by applicable law, you grant us a security interest in all accounts or other deposits (whether general or special) of yours at the Bank, to secure your obligations to us under this Agreement.  This security interest will survive termination of this Agreement.  We may hold any funds on deposit with us by you after termination of this Agreement for up to 90 days following the expiration of any return or chargeback rights or, if later, until any other claims to such funds have expired.

You acknowledge and agree that we may arrange to provide software, if required, and/or may arrange for the Services covered by the Agreement to be performed or provided by third parties, including our affiliates.  You further agree that any such party is a third-party beneficiary of the Agreement and as such is entitled to rely on, and avail itself of, the provisions of the Agreement as if it were us, including, without limitation, the limitations on liability and the indemnities described in the Agreement.  Our ability to provide certain Services may be dependent upon our ability to obtain or provide access to third-party networks.  In the event any third-party network is unavailable or we determine in our sole discretion, that we cannot continue providing any third-party network access, we may discontinue the related Service or may provide the Service through an alternate third-party network.  In such situations, we will have no liability for the unavailability or delay of access.

Provisions Specific to Business accounts

This Section applies only to business accounts as defined in this Agreement.  You are responsible for and bound by any Communication we receive in your name through a Service if the Communication: (a) comes from an authorized representative, Administrator or Sub-User;  or (b) is authenticated using security procedures, described herein, even if not authorized by you; or (c) is legally binding on you under the laws of agency, contract or otherwise.

Authorized Representatives.  In order to originate payments or other transactions under this Agreement, if you are a business customer you must designate at least one Administrator who will be responsible for creating and maintaining subsequent User IDs and passwords on your behalf, including assigning and revoking access privileges for Users and providing new and subsequent passwords to those Users.

We will provide your Administrator, through United States postal mail or another delivery service selected by us with a User ID and password. The Administrator will, on your behalf, authorize Users to use one or more of the Services.

You understand that the Administrator has the capability of providing administrative privileges identical to that of the Administrator to any User, including the ability to create and maintain subsequent User accounts and assigning and revoking access privileges. If the Administrator grants these privileges to a User, that User will also be considered an Administrator. Each User, including the Administrator, will be required to use his or her password each time he or she accesses the Services.

You acknowledge that any Administrator will have the ability to control security levels such as Service access and Service transaction limits, including without limitation the ability to assign dollar amount limits to transfers of funds.

The Administrator will have the authority on your behalf to electronically accept and approve any agreements and amendments to agreements by and between you and us, including but not limited to this Agreement.

We will be entitled to rely on the designations made by your Administrator and will not be responsible for matching the names of the Users designated by the Administrator to names or titles listed in your banking resolutions or on the signature cards for your Accounts.

You agree to consider, and as appropriate, implement each of the following additional recommendations:

Assign a unique User ID and a unique password for each Authorized User individual who is granted access to the Services on your behalf. Passwords must not be shared.  Each Administrator’s use of his or her Administrator’s User ID should be limited to performing administrative functions.  Should an Administrator use any of the Services, such as by initiating a payment or funds transfer, he or she should, instead, use a separate individually assigned User ID.

Responsibility For Communications In Your Name, Whether Or Not Authorized By You.  The passwords are security procedures.  You agree that we may use the security procedures to verify the authenticity of Communications that are received by us in your name.  If we verify the authenticity of a Communication or instruction received in your name using the security procedures, we may rely on it and you will be obligated on the Communication or instruction, whether or not it was authorized by you.

On the other hand, if a Communication or instruction was authorized by you or if you would otherwise be bound by it under this Agreement, you will be obligated on it even if we did not verify its authenticity using the security procedures and even if the security procedures would have prevented error.  You agree that the security procedures are intended to verify authenticity and not to detect error.

Responsibility For Security Procedures.  In addition to the passwords as security procedures, you may choose additional security procedures.  We may from time to time offer supplemental security procedures, and you agree to consider them.  You agree to follow any instructions we provide to you about using, storing or otherwise related to security procedures.

You agree to consider the size, type and frequency of the payment orders or other money transactions you will or intend to use Services to accomplish.  You agree to consider the risks presented by the possibility of unauthorized access to these Services, including the risk loss to you that we may process Communications and instructions that are your responsibility even though they were not authorized by you.  You agree to use Services only after determining, and only for so long as you continue to determine, that the security procedures are a commercially reasonable method of providing security against unauthorized payment orders or other Communications.  You agree and acknowledge that the security procedures are commercially reasonable for you and that you will be bound by instructions or Communications in your name, as set forth above.

You agree to take appropriate steps to ensure that all passwords are protected and kept confidential, including that the Administrator and Sub-Users do not share or disclose passwords to third parties or with the Administrator or other Sub-Users.  In your review of the Services, including those aspects of the Services pertaining to the issuance, use, and protection of passwords and security procedures, you agree to notify us if your use of the Services would necessitate or be better served by a level of security that exceeds that offered by the Services. If you fail to notify us, then you acknowledge and agree that the security procedures of the Services are appropriate for your needs and will provide you with a commercially reasonable degree of security against unauthorized use.

Refusal To Process Communications.  We may delay or refuse to process any requested Service, including payment orders or other money transactions, or any other Communication from you.  We may do so for any reason or for no reason.  We may provide notice to you, but are not obligated to do so.  We may delay or refuse processing, for example, if:  (a) processing would or may exceed the available funds in your affected Account;  (b) the Communication is not authenticated to our satisfaction or we believe it may not have been authorized by you;  (c) the Communication contains incorrect, inconsistent, ambiguous, or missing information; (d) processing would or may involve funds which are subject to lien, security interest, claim, hold, dispute, or legal process prohibiting withdrawal; (e) processing would or may cause a violation of any Laws or Rules applicable to you or to us; or (f) for any other reason under this Agreement.  In addition, we shall be excused from failing to transmit or delay in transmitting an Entry if such transmittal would result in our having exceeded any limitation upon our intra-day net funds position established pursuant to present or future Federal Reserve guidelines or in our reasonable judgment otherwise violating any provision of any present or future risk control program of the Federal Reserve or any rule or regulation of any other U.S. governmental regulatory authority.  You agree that we will have no liability to you or to any other person for any loss, damage or other harm caused by or arising out of any such delay or refusal.

Limitations on Liability.  Unless otherwise required by applicable law, we are only responsible for performing Services as expressly stated in this Agreement, and will only be liable for material losses incurred by you to the extent such losses directly result from our gross negligence or intentional misconduct.

IN NO EVENT WILL WE OR ANY OF OUR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, SHAREHOLDERS, EMPLOYEES, PARENTS, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, AGENTS, LICENSORS, OR THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOSS OF DATA, FILES, PROFIT OR GOODWILL OR THE COSTS OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICE), INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, WHETHER IN ACTION UNDER CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE OR ANY OTHER THEORY, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY SERVICES, OR THE INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES, IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER WE HAVE OR HAVE NOT BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

THE MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF US FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OR CAUSE OF ACTION, SHALL BE THE LESSER OF THE AMOUNT YOU ORIGINALLY PAID FOR THE SERVICE, PRODUCTS OR MATERIALS OR $15,000.

You agree to cooperate with us in any loss recovery efforts we undertake to reduce any loss or liability that arises in connection with the Services.  You acknowledge that Service fees have been established in contemplation of:  (A) these limitations on our liability, (B) Your agreement to review statements, confirmations, and notices promptly and to notify us immediately of any discrepancies or problems; and (C) Your agreement to assist us in any loss recovery effort.

We will not be obligated to honor, in whole or in part, any transaction or instruction or Communication which:

  • Is not in accordance with any term or condition applicable to the relevant Service or Account;
  • We have reason to believe may not be authorized by you or any third person whose authorization we believe is necessary or involves funds subject to hold, dispute, restriction or legal process we believe prevents their withdrawal, transfer or availability;
  • Would result in us exceeding any limitation of our net funds position established pursuant to present or future Federal Reserve guidelines;
  • Would violate any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any guidance or directive of any federal or state regulatory authority;
  • Is not in accordance with any other requirement of our applicable policies, procedures or practices; or
  • We have reasonable cause not to honor for our or your protection.

Indemnification.  Except to the extent that we are liable under the terms of this Agreement, or of any agreement that otherwise governs your Account, you agree to indemnify and hold us, our affiliates, officers, directors, employees, consultants, agents, service providers, and licensors harmless from any and all third party claims, liability, damages and/or costs (including but not limited to reasonable attorney’s fees) arising from: (1) an Account; (2) the performance of a Service; (3) a third party claim, action, or allegation of infringement, misuse, or misappropriation based on information, data, files, or other materials submitted by you to us; (4) any fraud, manipulation, or other breach of these terms; (5) any third party claim, action, or allegation brought against us arising out of or relating to a dispute with you over the terms and conditions of an agreement, purchase or sale of any goods or services; (6) your violation of any Law or Rule or of the rights of a third party; (7) your use, or the provision of Services or use of your Account by any third party; or (8) any transaction or instruction or Communication from you to us. We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will cooperate with us in asserting any available defenses. You will not settle any action or claims on our behalf without the prior written consent from us. This indemnification is provided without regard to whether our claim for indemnification is due to the use of the Service by you or your authorized representative.  This indemnification provision survives termination of this Agreement.

Data Retention.  You will retain data on file adequate to permit remaking or reconstruction of all requested Services (including payment orders or other money transactions) for one year following the date of the execution of the request to which such data relate, and will provide the data to us upon our request.  You agree to determine promptly the accuracy of all records and information regarding a Service and to notify us immediately of any errors in such records or information. Nothing in this Agreement relieves you from: (a) any responsibility imposed by law, regulation or contract with regard to the maintenance of your business records, if any; or (b) any responsibility to perform audits and account reviews for your business customarily conducted by persons or entities whose businesses are similar to your business.

Advice of Payment; Duty to Examine.  You agree to examine any records or monthly account statements promptly upon receipt.  You will notify us immediately, and in no event later than 14 days after receipt of the record or account statement, whichever is earlier, of the existence of any errors, unauthorized transactions, or irregularities reflected on the record or on the account statement.  If you fail to notify us of any such discrepancy with 14 calendar days of receipt of the record or statement containing such information, you agree that we will not be liable for any other losses resulting from your failure to give such notice or for any loss of interest with respect to a transaction that is or should have been shown.  Except to the extent expressly limited by applicable law, if you fail to notify us of any such discrepancy within one year of receipt of such statement or report, you will be precluded from asserting the discrepancy against us.  For purposes of this Section, you will be deemed to have “received” a periodic statement at the earlier of the time that: (a) we first make it available to you for pick-up; or (b) the statement or the information is mailed or otherwise made available to you electronically.

Providing Personal and Financial Information.  You agree to provide true, accurate, current and complete personal and financial information about yourself and about your affiliates as requested.  You agree to not misrepresent your identity.

Collection.  If we initiate collection proceedings against you in an effort to recover any amounts owed, you agree to reimburse us for all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees.  “Attorneys’ fees” includes reasonable charges for the time expended by in-house counsel.

Corporate Authority; Partnership Authority.  If you are a corporation or LLC, the person signing this Agreement on behalf of the corporation or LLC represents and warrants that he or she has full authority to do so and that this Agreement binds the corporation or LLC.  If you a partnership, the person signing this Agreement for you represents and warrants that he or she is a general partner of the partnership, that he or she has full authority to sign for the partnership and that this Agreement binds the partnership and all general partners of the partnership.  You shall give written notice to us of any general partner’s withdrawal from the partnership.

Provisions Specific to Consumer Accounts

THE FOLLOWING PROVISIONS CONTAIN IMPORTANT CONSUMER DISCLOSURES UNDER THE EFTA.  The following provisions only apply to consumer accounts as defined under this Agreement and are not intended to confer any rights or benefits to business accounts or any accounts not established primarily for personal, family or household purposes.  See the Deposit Agreement and Disclosure Statement for additional detail.

Preauthorized Payments.

Right to Stop Payment and Procedure For Doing So.  If you have told us in advance to make regular electronic payments out of your Account, you can stop any of these payments.  Here’s how:

You may follow the directions provided in the Services, to stop the payment through the Services, or you may

Call us at 866-626-6004   Or write us at: Bank of Marin
P.O. Box 2039
Novato, CA  94948-2039

in time for us to receive your request 3 business days or more before the payment is scheduled to be made.  If you call, we may also require you to put your request in writing and get it to us within 14 days after you call.  We will charge you a fee for each stop payment order you give.  Refer to the Service Fees and Charges Section of this Agreement for fee details.  A separate process will apply to the extent you wish to initiate check stop payment requests through the Services.  Refer to “Check Stop Payment Services,” above, for further details.

Liability for Failure to Stop Payment of Preauthorized Transfer.  If you order us to stop one of these electronic payments 3 business days or more before the transfer is scheduled to be made, and we do not do so, we will be liable for your losses or damages.

Consumer Liability.  Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your User ID and/or password has been lost or stolen, or if you believe that an electronic fund transfer has been made without your permission using information from your check.  Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible losses down.  You could lose all the money in your Account (plus your maximum overdraft line of credit, as applicable).

If you tell us within 2 business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your User ID and/or password, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your User ID and/or password without your permission.

If you do NOT tell us within 2 business days after you learn of the loss or theft of any part of your User ID and/or password, and we can prove that we could have stopped someone from using the User ID and/or password without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.

Also, if your statement shows transfers that you did not make, including those made by card, code or other means, tell us at once.  If you do not tell us within 60 days after the statement was mailed to you, you may not get back any funds you lost after the 60 days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking said funds if you informed us in time.  If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay), kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods.

Errors and Questions.  In case of errors or questions about your electronic transfers, telephone us at866-626-6004 or write us at:  Bank of Marin, addressed either to P.O. Box 2039, Novato, CA  94948-2039, , as soon as you can, if you think your statement is wrong or if you need more information about a transfer listed on the statement.  We must hear from you no later than sixty (60) days after we sent you the FIRST statement on which the problem or error appeared.

  • Tell us your name and account number (if any).
  • Describe the error or the transfer you are unsure about, and explain as clearly as you can why you believe it is an error or why you need more information.
  • The dollar amount of the suspected error.

If you tell us orally, we may require you to send us the complaint or question in writing within 10 business days. We will determine whether an error occurred within 10 business days after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 days to investigate a complaint or question.  If we decide to do this, we will credit your Account within 10 business days for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have the use of the money during the time it takes us to complete our investigation.  If we ask you to put your complaint or question in writing and we do not receive it within 10 business days, we may not credit your Account.

For errors involving new accounts, point-of-sale, or foreign-initiated transactions, we may take up to 90 days to investigate your complaint or question.  For new accounts, we may take up to 20 business days to credit your Account for the amount you think is in error.

We will tell you the results within three business days after completing our investigation.  If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation. You may request copies of the documents that were used in the investigation.

Electronic Check Conversion.  You may authorize a merchant or other payee to make a one-time electronic payment from your checking account using information from your check to: (i) pay for purchases; and (ii) pay bills.

Financial Institution’s Liability.  If we do not complete a transfer to or from your Account on time or in the correct amount according to our agreement with you, we will be liable for your losses or damages.  However, there are some exceptions.  We will not be liable, for instance:

  • If, through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money in your Account to make the transfer.
  • The transfer would go over the credit limit on your overdraft line (if applicable).
  • Circumstances beyond our control (e.g., fire, flood, power outage, equipment or technical failure or breakdown) prevent the transfer, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken.
  • The computer or related system was not working properly and you knew about the breakdown when you started the transfer.
  • Your funds are subject to legal process or other encumbrances restricting the transfer. There may be other exceptions stated in this Agreement and in other agreements with you.

Documentation.

Periodic Statements.  You will get a monthly account statement (unless there are no transfers in a particular month).  In any case, you will get the statement at least quarterly.

eDocuments. You will receive account related documents and communication electronically.  This may include periodic account statements, account analysis statements, maturity notices, loan statements and notices, annual privacy notices, legal notices, tax documents and all other notices relating to your account.
