Comply with the rules; no-disclosure and confidentiality. You agree both (i) to comply with and (ii) cooperate and assist First Westroads Bank and its vendors in complying in a complete and timely manner with the rules. You agree to execute and deliver to First Westroads Bank all such instruments as First Westroads Bank may from time to time reasonably deem necessary to resolve NCI (non-conforming image), NCH (non-conforming MICR line), or any other disputed item. In the absence of retaining the relevant original check for the specified time period, you understand and agree you shall be solely responsible for the cost of any claim brought by the Drawer of the check that for resolution would reasonably require access to relevant original check and shall indemnify us in accordance with the indemnification provisions of this agreement.
You shall not disclose to any party other than First Westroads Bank, or any agent for the purpose of assisting in the completion of a transaction or as specifically required by law, any account information or other personal information.
Generally you will have no right to cancel or amend any deposit after its receipt by First Westroads Bank. However, First Westroads Bank will use reasonable efforts to act on an immediate request by you for cancellation of a deposit, but will have no liability if such cancellation is not completed.

If an item presented for deposit is questioned, and the original check cannot be presented before that check clears, the customer is liable for the amount of the check.
11. Availability of Funds
You agree that items transmitted through the Service are not subject to the funds availability requirements of Federal Reserve Board Regulation CC. However, our policy is to generally make funds from your mobile capture deposits made before 3:00 pm Central Time Zone available the next business day. Please note that deposits are subject to verification and can be adjusted upon review. First Westroads Bank has a specific processing deadline. A deposit entry is considered received by the Bank when a complete and legible image has been received before 3:00 p.m. Central Time Zone (unless notified by First Westroads Bank of a time change) and meets First Westroads Bank’s technical and operational requirements as stated in this agreement. Deposits received after 3:00 p.m. Central Time Zone or on a non-business day are considered to be received as of the next business day. Our business days are Monday through Friday, excluding weekends and Federal Holidays. Services may occasionally be unavailable due to needed maintenance or system/network interruptions. Images received by the deadline will be transmitted that day to the Federal Reserve Bank or applicable clearinghouse or image exchange group for settlement on the effective entry day. Deposit entries received after the deadline will be processed the next business day. The availability of your mobile capture deposits may also be delayed for a variety of additional reasons determined in First Westroads Bank’s sole discretion, but not limited to:
You agree that you will not scan and deposit any of the following types of checks or other items which shall be considered ineligible items:
We believe a check you deposit is a duplicate image;
You deposit checks totaling more than any daily dollar amount limit or any other limitations on your Service that First Westroads Bank may impose;
We exercise our rights to investigate any unusual or suspicious mobile capture deposits as determined.
We will generally notify you if we delay your ability to withdraw funds for any of these or other reasons.
12. Remakes of rejected entries or files
If a deposit entry is rejected due to improper processing or unexcused delays by Fiserv, Inc., Fiserv, Inc. will remake such entry and re-send it. If such entry was rejected as a result of improper processing or the supplying of incomplete information by Customer, Customer will remake the entry, or supply Fiserv, Inc. with complete information for remaking the entry at Customer’s expense, and Fiserv, Inc. will send such entry. Notwithstanding the fact that Bank has accepted the deposit, any credit made to Customer’s account shall be provisional and Customer shall remain liable to the Bank for any errors, inaccuracies, breach of warranties, and any other loss sustained by or claim made against Bank on the part of any party.

First Westroads Bank will be deemed to have exercised ordinary care and to have acted reasonably if First Westroads Bank has acted in accordance with the terms of this agreement and will be liable for loss sustained by Customer only to the extent such loss is caused by First Westroads Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

19. Receipt of Check Images
An image of a check shall be deemed received when it is posted to your account no later than the Business Day of such deposit.
