2. Certain representations and warranties. You represent and warrant to us that your entry into and performance of this agreement, the use of NetExpress by you or on your behalf and each transfer of funds or payment ordered through NetExpress by you or on your behalf do not and will not violate applicable law, any judgment or order of any court, agency or other governmental body by which you are bound, your certificate or articles of incorporation, by-laws, operating, limited liability company or partnership agreement or other charter, organizational or other governing document or any resolution of or other action of record by any shareholder, member, director, manager or governing body of yours, do not and will not violate or constitute any default under any agreement or instrument by which you are bound, are in furtherance of your purposes and within your power and authority and do not and will not require any authorization of, notice to or other act by or relating to any other party (for example, a shareholder, member, director, manager or governing body of yours) that has not been duly obtained, given or done and is not in full force and effect.
3. Business purposes. You represent and warrant to us that the use of NetExpress by you or on your behalf will be primarily for business or governmental purposes rather than personal, family or household purposes. You acknowledge that in connection with NetExpress you will not have any right that applies under applicable law to deposit or credit accounts established primarily for personal, family or household purposes but not to deposit or credit accounts not established primarily for personal, family or household purposes (for example, the right to limited liability for unauthorized use of an internet banking service). Nothing in this agreement, any statement for any approved deposit account or approved loan account that we send you or otherwise make available to you or any notice or other communication or document that we send you (for example, the use of a term defined in the Electronic Fund Transfer Act or the Truth in Lending Act or the giving of a notice required by the Electronic Fund Transfer Act or the Truth in Lending Act) will give you in connection with NetExpress any right that applies under applicable law to deposit or credit accounts established primarily for personal, family or household purposes but not to deposit or credit accounts not established primarily for personal, family or household purposes.
4. Deposit accounts. You represent and warrant to us that no deposit account from which a withdrawal of funds will be initiated by any order given by you or on your behalf through NetExpress will be a fiduciary account, an account for which two or more persons are required to sign a check written on the account or a withdrawal form for the account or an account subject to a similar restriction. But no limitation on a withdrawal of funds from any deposit account from which a withdrawal of funds will be initiated by any order given by you or on your behalf through NetExpress arising because the account is a fiduciary account, because the account is one for which two or more persons are required to sign a check written on the account or a withdrawal form for the account or because the account is subject to a similar restriction will apply to any withdrawal of funds from the account initiated by any order given by you or on your behalf through NetExpress.
5. You and your administrator. You represent and warrant to us that you and your administrator will have an unrestricted right to act alone to withdraw or to give any order to withdraw funds from any deposit account from which a withdrawal of funds will be initiated by any order given by you or on your behalf through NetExpress (for example, by signing a check written on the account or a withdrawal form for the account or giving an order for an automated clearing house entry or wire or intrabank transfer involving funds in the account) and to obtain credit under any approved line of credit account. We may rely on the authority of your administrator to act on your behalf in connection with NetExpress (for example, by giving any instruction to us, designating any additional user and limitations on the authority of any additional user to give any instruction to us, terminating or changing any limitation on the authority of any additional user to give any instruction to us, designating any other individual as your administrator, choosing any identifier to be used in connection with any security procedure or requesting that any identifier used in connection with any security procedure be rendered ineffective) until we receive from any authorized party and have a reasonable time to act on a written notice that your administrator is no longer authorized to act on your behalf in connection with NetExpress.
6. Additional users. Monitoring whether any additional user is acting within his or her authority to give any instruction to us is your responsibility and the responsibility of your administrator, and we may rely on the authority of any additional user to give any instruction to us.
7. Identifier. Neither you nor your administrator nor any additional user may allow anyone else to have any identifier unless you authorize him or her to use NetExpress on your behalf. You, your administrator and each additional user must keep each identifier in a secure location separate from any equipment (for example, a computer or mobile banking device) or software you use or your administrator or any additional user uses in connection with NetExpress. For reasons of security, we or any agent of ours may render any identifier ineffective. WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES YOU SUFFER AS A RESULT OF YOU, YOUR ADMINISTRATOR OR ANY ADDITIONAL USER ALLOWING ANYONE ELSE (FOR EXAMPLE, A PARTY THAT AGGREGATES ACCOUNT INFORMATION OR CONTENT OF WEBSITES) TO HAVE ANY IDENTIFIER.
8. Your responsibility for instructions. You will be responsible for and bound by each instruction to us given by you, your administrator, any additional user or anyone else you allow or your administrator or any additional user allows to have any identifier or to use NetExpress, and the instruction to us and, if the instruction to us is any order described in Section 11, 12 or 13 of this agreement, each transfer of funds or payment initiated by the instruction to us will be covered by this agreement as though the instruction to us had been given by you.
9. Prohibition of certain transactions. NetExpress may not be used by you or on your behalf for any prohibited or unenforceable transaction (for example, an illegal gambling transaction, a purchase of an illegal product or a transaction with an individual, organization or government on which the federal government has imposed economic or trade sanctions), but, if it is, you waive any claim that the transaction should not have been charged against any deposit account or line of credit account of yours on the ground that the transaction was prohibited or unenforceable, and you must indemnify us against any liability or expense that is incurred by, imposed on or asserted against us as a result of any claim arising out of the transaction.
10. NetExpress. NetExpress has a number of features, including NetExpress Teller, NetExpress Bill Payor, NetExpress Business and AirTeller. NetExpress Teller is always included in NetExpress, while NetExpress Bill Payor or NetExpress Business will be available to you only if chosen by you and approved by us. NetExpress Teller has a number of features (for example, electronic statement delivery and online financial management) that will be available to you only if chosen by you and approved by us. If chosen by you and approved by us, AirTeller allows the use of a mobile banking device in connection with NetExpress.
11. Use of NetExpress Teller. Subject to the provisions of this agreement, NetExpress Teller may be used by you or on your behalf to:
a. Give an order to us to make an immediate or future non-recurring transfer of funds from any approved deposit account to any other approved deposit account or any approved loan account or from any approved line of credit account to any other approved loan account or any approved deposit account;
b. Give an order to us to make a series of recurring transfers of funds of the same amount from any approved deposit account to any other approved deposit account or any approved loan account or from any approved line of credit account to any other approved loan account or any approved deposit account;
c. Give an order to us changing or canceling any order described in clause a of this sentence that was previously given through NetExpress Teller;
d. Give an order to us changing or canceling as to all future transfers of funds any order described in clause b of this sentence that was previously given through NetExpress Teller;
e. Give an order to us to stop, or to renew an order to stop, the payment of any check written on any checking or money market account of yours with us;
f. Request information available through NetExpress Teller concerning any approved deposit account or approved loan account that is approved by us as accessible for information through NetExpress Teller (for example, information concerning deposits in, withdrawals from and the balance of the account);
g. Receive notice of the availability at our website of electronic documents for any approved deposit account or approved loan account through the electronic statement delivery feature of NetExpress Teller; and
h. Assist in managing your finances in ways available through the online financial management feature of NetExpress Teller (for example, viewing and categorizing transactions involving an approved deposit account or approved loan account, creating summaries of spending and cash flows, creating and updating budgets, measuring progress in adhering to budgets and meeting financial goals and aggregating information about accounts of yours with us or other financial institutions and content of websites).
Any order to stop, or to renew an order to stop, the payment of a check given by you or on your behalf through NetExpress Teller will be subject to our general rules concerning orders to stop the payment of a check, except that the order need not be confirmed in writing. For example, the order will be effective for six months after the date it is placed against the account on which the check is written.
Because the balance available for withdrawal from an approved deposit account may vary from time to time during any day, you may not rely on any statement obtained through NetExpress Teller as to the balance available for withdrawal from the approved deposit account at any time other than the time the statement is obtained.
12. Use of NetExpress Bill Payor. Subject to the provisions of this agreement, NetExpress Bill Payor may be used by you or on your behalf to:
a. Give an order to us to make an immediate or future non-recurring payment from any approved payment account;
b. Give an order to us to make a series of recurring payments of the same amount from any approved payment account;
c. Give an order to us changing or canceling any order described in clause a of this sentence that was previously given through NetExpress Bill Payor;
d. Give an order to us canceling as to all future payments any order described in clause b of this sentence that was previously given through NetExpress Bill Payor; and
e. Request information available through NetExpress Bill Payor concerning payments from any approved payment account made through NetExpress Bill Payor.
Any payment from any approved payment account made through NetExpress Bill Payor will be made by either a transfer of funds through an automated clearing house to the payee of the payment or the sending of a check to the payee. Because the payee will not receive a payment stub with the payment and because the payee may process payments made without a payment stub at a different location than is normally the case or may take longer than is normally the case to process those payments, it may be advisable for you to verify with the payee the address to which the payment should be sent and the period of time required for the posting of the payment.
It is not advisable to use NetExpress Bill Payor to make a payment to a governmental body (for example, a payment of a tax bill).
13. Use of NetExpress Business. Subject to the provisions of this agreement, NetExpress Business may be used by you or on your behalf to:
a. Give an order to us to make a non-recurring transfer of funds through an automated clearing house from any deposit account maintained by you or someone other than you with us or another financial institution to any other deposit account maintained by you or someone other than you with us or another financial institution as long as one of the accounts is maintained by you;
b. Give an order to us to make a series of recurring transfers of funds of the same amount through an automated clearing house from any deposit account maintained by you or someone other than you with us or another financial institution to any other deposit account maintained by you or someone other than you with us or another financial institution as long as one of the accounts is maintained by you;
c. Give an order to us to make a non-recurring transfer of funds by a wire or intrabank transfer from any deposit account maintained by you with us to any deposit account maintained by someone other than you with us or by you or someone other than you with another financial institution; and
d. Give an order to us to make a series of recurring transfers of funds of the same amount by a wire or intrabank transfer from any deposit account maintained by you with us to any deposit account maintained by someone other than you with us or by you or someone other than you with another financial institution.

d. If, when any order to make a transfer of funds or payment from a deposit account of yours with us given through NetExpress is to be charged against the account with respect to the transfer or payment, the amount of the transfer or payment exceeds the amount of money available for withdrawal from the account (taking into consideration, if the account is tied to a line of credit account or other overdraft facility with us, the amount of credit available under the line of credit account or other overdraft facility), we may either make the transfer or payment, in which case you will be liable for the excess, or refuse to make the transfer or payment.

f. For reasons of security, we may refuse to honor any order to make a transfer of funds or payment given through NetExpress.
g. We may refuse to honor any order to make a transfer of funds or payment given through NetExpress if the order reasonably appears to us to be fraudulent or erroneous.
h. If an order to make a transfer of funds or payment given through NetExpress contains an inconsistency in the name and account or other identifying number of an account or payee, financial institution or other party, we may treat the number as controlling and rely on the number in processing the order.
i. If any approved deposit account is a savings account for purposes of federal reserve requirements, during any monthly period at the end of which we review the account there may be no more than six transfers of funds from the account that are:
i. A transfer of funds to any other deposit account with us ordered through NetExpress;

j. You will be responsible for assuring that any order to make a payment given by you or on your behalf through NetExpress Bill Payor is given to us in sufficient time for the order to be processed and the payment to be sent so that the payment is received by the payee of the payment by the date the payment is to become due without taking into consideration any grace period provided by the payee, and you will be responsible, and we will not be liable, for any consequence of your not assuring that that is done (for example, any finance or late charge resulting from the payment being made late).

k. We may refuse to honor any order to make a payment given through NetExpress Bill Payor if, because the order identifies the same payee, payment date and amount, it appears to duplicate another order to make a payment given through NetExpress Bill Payor.
l. We may impose any other limitation on the types, number, frequency and amounts of transfers of funds and payments initiated by orders given through NetExpress.
18. Notice of availability of electronic documents through NetExpress Teller. If the electronic statement delivery feature of NetExpress Teller is chosen by you and approved by us for any approved deposit account or approved loan account:

b. You or your administrator must promptly notify us of any change in any electronic mail address provided to us by you or on your behalf for use in connection with the use of the electronic statement delivery feature for the account by changing the electronic mail address in your NetExpress Teller profile.
c. You must indemnify us against any liability or expense that is incurred by, imposed on or asserted against us as a result of any claim arising from any email address provided to us by you or on your behalf for use in connection with the use of the electronic statement delivery feature for the account being invalid or inactive or not belonging to you, your administrator or an additional user.
d. Whenever an electronic document for the account is ready to be made available to you at our website, we will send to the current electronic mail address provided to us by you or on your behalf for use in connection with the use of the electronic statement delivery feature for the account a notice that the electronic document is available to you at our website. The electronic document will be available to you at our website for 15 months, except that it will not be available to you at our website after cancellation of the electronic statement delivery feature in connection with the account takes effect. Except to the extent that applicable law requires otherwise, the notice will be the only notice that we send to you concerning the availability of the electronic document to you. The notice will constitute delivery of the electronic document to you, whether or not it is viewed or printed by you or on your behalf. Neither you nor anyone acting on your behalf may use the reply function for electronic mail to reply to the notice (for example, by using the reply function to request any information or service or a paper copy of any electronic document or other item or to cancel the electronic statement delivery feature in connection with the account), but, if that happens, we will not be obligated to do anything in response to the reply. If the notice is returned to us as undeliverable, we will send it a second time. If it is again returned to us as undeliverable, we will send it a third time. If the notice is again returned to us as undeliverable, we will stop sending you electronic documents for the account and resume sending you paper copies of electronic documents for the account at the mailing address shown for you in our records concerning the account. But we will not have to send the notice a second or third time if any return of the notice to us as undeliverable indicates that the email address to which it was sent is invalid or inactive.
e. We may discontinue sending you paper copies of electronic documents for the account. For as long as we are required by applicable law to keep a copy of any electronic document for the account, you, your administrator or any additional user may request a copy of the electronic document by writing us at Five Star Bank, 220 Liberty Street, Warsaw, NY 14569, Attention: Deposit Services Department. The request will not constitute a request to cancel the electronic statement delivery feature in connection with the account. Even if we discontinue sending you paper copies of electronic documents for the account, we may resume sending them (for example, because we believe that you are not receiving notices that an electronic document for the account is available to you at our website or because we believe that there is a risk that you may not be able to receive electronically, view and print electronic documents for the account). If the account is closed, the final periodic statement for the account that we send you or otherwise make available to you will be a paper copy.
f. If you cancel or your administrator cancels the electronic statement delivery feature in connection with the account, we may continue to make electronic documents for the account available to you at our website until the cancellation takes effect.
g. No cancellation of the electronic statement delivery feature in connection with the account will affect the validity or legal effect of any electronic document provided for the account.
19. Use of AirTeller and mobile banking device. If AirTeller and a mobile banking device are used in connection with NetExpress:

20. Authorization and appointment as agent. You authorize us and each agent of ours and appoint us and the agent as your agent to take on your behalf any action that we consider or the agent considers to be necessary or appropriate to implement any order given by you or on your behalf through NetExpress or to correct any error in crediting or charging any deposit account or loan account in connection with any order given by you or on your behalf through NetExpress. For example, you authorize us and the agent and appoint us and the agent as your agent to on your behalf:
a.

b. Withdraw money from any approved deposit account and use the money to make a payment under any approved loan account in order to implement any order to make a transfer of funds from the approved deposit account to the approved loan account given by you or on your behalf through NetExpress Teller;
c. Obtain credit under any approved line of credit account and deposit the proceeds of the credit in any approved deposit account in order to implement any order to make a transfer of funds from the approved line of credit account to the approved deposit account given by you or on your behalf through NetExpress Teller;

The withdrawal or directing the withdrawal of money from any deposit account or the obtaining of credit under any approved line of credit account under the authority given and the appointment as your agent made in the first sentence of this section will be as effective as though you had signed a check or withdrawal form to make the withdrawal or to obtain the credit.
21. Notice of loss, theft or unauthorized access or use. If you believe or your administrator or any additional user believes that any identifier has been lost or stolen, that there has been without your authorization any access to any equipment (for example, a computer or mobile banking device) used in connection with NetExpress by you or on your behalf or that any transaction involving a deposit account of yours may have been or may be made using NetExpress without your authorization, you, your administrator or the additional user must contact us at once by telephoning us at 877-226-5578 and asking for our Fraud Department or writing us at Five Star Bank, 220 Liberty Street, Warsaw, NY 14569, Attention: Fraud Department. If any statement for any deposit account or line of credit account of yours with us that we send you or otherwise make available to you indicates that a transaction involving the account may have been made without your authorization during the period covered by the statement or that we may have made an error with respect to the account during that period, you will lose any right to make any claim against us based on the transaction or error unless you notify or your administrator notifies us in writing of the transaction or error in time for us to receive the notice within 60 days after the date we send you the statement or otherwise make it available to you. If an order to us to make a transfer of funds through an automated clearing house to or from a deposit account of yours is given to us through NetExpress Business without your authorization and neither the account from which the transfer is to be made nor the account to which the transfer is to be made is with us, you will lose any right to make any claim against us based on the unauthorized transfer unless you notify or your administrator notifies us in writing of the unauthorized transfer in time for us to receive the notice within 60 days after the date the order is given to us.
22. Your liability for unauthorized use. How much you will have to bear of any loss of money taken from any deposit account of yours in any transfer of funds or payment ordered through NetExpress by an order initiated without your authorization will be determined by applicable law and any agreement between you and us concerning the account or transfers of funds or payments from the account (for example, an agreement governing transfers of funds through an automated clearing house or by a wire or intrabank transfer), but:
a. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY LOSS OF MONEY TAKEN FROM THE ACCOUNT IN ANY TRANSFER OF FUNDS OR PAYMENT ORDERED THROUGH NETEXPRESS BY AN ORDER INITIATED WITHOUT YOUR AUTHORIZATION BY YOUR ADMINISTRATOR, ANY ADDITIONAL USER OR ANYONE ELSE YOUR ADMINISTRATOR OR ANY ADDITIONAL USER ALLOWS TO ANY IDENTIFIER OR TO USE NETEXPRESS;
b. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY LOSS OF MONEY TAKEN FROM THE ACCOUNT IN ANY TRANSFER OF FUNDS OR PAYMENT ORDERED THROUGH NETEXPRESS BY AN ORDER INITIATED WITHOUT YOUR AUTHORIZATION UNLESS EACH COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE SECURITY PROCEDURE OFFERED BY US TO YOU IN CONNECTION WITH NETEXPRESS IS FOLLOWED IN CONNECTION WITH THE GIVING OF THE ORDER TO US TO MAKE THE TRANSFER OR PAYMENT;
c. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY LOSS OF MONEY TAKEN FROM THE ACCOUNT IN ANY TRANSFER OF FUNDS OR PAYMENT ORDERED THROUGH NETEXPRESS BY AN ORDER INITIATED BY THE USE OF ANY IDENTIFIER WITHOUT YOUR AUTHORIZATION BEFORE WE RECEIVE AND HAVE A REASONABLE TIME TO ACT ON A NOTICE OF THE POSSIBLE UNAUTHORIZED USE OF ANY IDENTIFIER WITHOUT YOUR AUTHORIZATION;
d. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY LOSS OF MONEY TAKEN FROM THE ACCOUNT IN ANY TRANSFER OF FUNDS OR PAYMENT ORDERED THROUGH NETEXPRESS BY AN ORDER INITIATED WITHOUT YOUR AUTHORIZATION UNLESS WE FAIL TO EXERCISE ORDINARY CARE IN PROCESSING THE TRANSFER OR PAYMENT; AND
e. IN THE CASE OF ANY LOSS OF MONEY TAKEN FROM THE ACCOUNT IN ANY TRANSFER OF FUNDS OR PAYMENT ORDERED THROUGH NETEXPRESS BY AN ORDER INITIATED WITHOUT YOUR AUTHORIZATION, OUR LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TO THE AMOUNT OF THE TRANSFER OR PAYMENT LESS ANY AMOUNT THAT, EVEN WITH OUR EXERCISE OF ORDINARY CARE IN PROCESSING THE TRANSFER OR PAYMENT, WOULD HAVE BEEN LOST.

You must pay us each fee we impose for the use of NetExpress by you or on your behalf and, as required by applicable law, each sales, use, excise, value added, utility or similar tax imposed in connection with the fee. The fee will be in addition to the fees applicable to any deposit account or line of credit account from or to which any transfer of funds or payment is made using NetExpress. We may charge any approved deposit account or any other deposit account of yours with us for the amount of the fee and the sales, use, excise, value added, utility or similar tax. We will not be liable if we do so and, as a result, we do not allow or make any withdrawal from the account.
24. Reimbursement and indemnification. Without limiting any other obligation you have under this agreement to reimburse us, you must reimburse us for any liability or expense incurred by us as a result of our hiring an attorney to enforce any of your obligations under this agreement or with respect to NetExpress. Without limiting any other obligation you have under this agreement to indemnify us, you must, except to the extent that this agreement imposes liability on us or to the extent prohibited by applicable law, indemnify us and each agent of ours against any liability or expense that is incurred by, imposed on or asserted against us or the agent as a result of any claim arising in connection with the use of NetExpress by you or on your behalf (for example, as a result of our following any instruction to us, acting on any information or document that we receive from you or anyone acting on your behalf or any failure by you or anyone acting on your behalf to maintain the security of any identifier or any equipment (for example, a computer or mobile banking device)). We may charge the amount of the liability or expense for which you must reimburse us or against which you must indemnify us against any approved deposit account or any other deposit account of yours with us or collect it in any other way.
25. Disclaimer of warranties. NETEXPRESS IS PROVIDED BY US “AS IS,” “AS AVAILABLE” AND, TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. WITHOUT LIMITING THE PRECEDING SENTENCE, WE DO NOT MAKE, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, AND WE DISCLAIM, TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHER WARRANTY OF ANY KIND (FOR EXAMPLE, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE) CONCERNING NETEXPRESS.

You assume all risks of loss resulting from the selection, installation, maintenance, operation or use of the equipment, service or software (for example, any failure of a telecommunication or internet access service to provide, or a delay by a telecommunication or internet access service in providing, a service). EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES (FOR EXAMPLE, ACTUAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES), WHETHER ARISING FROM BREACH OF CONTRACT, BREACH OF WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER TORT OR STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, THAT RESULT FROM ANY ERROR IN SELECTING, INSTALLING, MAINTAINING, OPERATING OR USING, UNAVAILABILITY, FAILURE, MALFUNCTION OR INTERRUPTION OF, COMPROMISE OF DATA SENT USING OR VIRUS OR SIMILAR PROBLEM RESULTING FROM THE EQUIPMENT, SERVICE OR SOFTWARE, EVEN IF WE ARE NOTIFIED OF OR OTHERWISE KNOW OR SHOULD KNOW OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THOSE DAMAGES.
You must indemnify us against any liability or expense that is incurred by, imposed on or asserted against us as a result of any claim that the operation or use of the equipment, service or software by you or on your behalf in connection with NetExpress infringes any copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret or other property right of any party.
27. Limitation of liability. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE IN CONNECTION WITH NETEXPRESS FOR:
a. ANY DAMAGES NOT RESULTING DIRECTLY FROM OUR GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT;
b. ANY DAMAGES (FOR EXAMPLE, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES) IN ADDITION TO ACTUAL DAMAGES, WHETHER ARISING FROM BREACH OF CONTRACT, BREACH OF WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER TORT OR STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF WE ARE NOTIFIED OF OR OTHERWISE KNOW OR SHOULD KNOW OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THOSE DAMAGES;

e. ANY FAILURE TO TAKE OR DELAY IN TAKING ANY ACTION IF WE BELIEVE THAT TAKING THE ACTION WOULD VIOLATE, OR THAT FAILING TO TAKE OR DELAY IN TAKING THE ACTION WOULD BE EXCUSED BY, APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RULE OF ANY BANKING OR PAYMENT SYSTEM OR ANY GOVERNMENTAL GUIDELINE OR PROGRAM.
28. Our liability for failure to make transfers of funds and payments. Subject to the limitations on our liability set forth in Section 27 of this agreement, our liability for damages you suffer as a result of our failure to make or cause to be made, on time and in the correct amount, any transfer of funds or payment to or from any deposit account ordered by a timely and properly initiated order to make the transfer or payment given by you or on your behalf through NetExpress will be determined by applicable law and any agreement between you and us concerning the account or transfers of funds or payments to or from the account (for example, an agreement between you and us governing transfers of funds through an automated clearing house or by a wire or intrabank transfer).
Whether the order is timely will be determined under Section 14, 15 or 16 of this agreement and, if the order is to make a payment, clause j of Section 17 of this agreement. The order will not be properly initiated unless:

THE ORDER IS TO MAKE A TRANSFER OF FUNDS OR PAYMENT FROM A DEPOSIT ACCOUNT AND THROUGH NO FAULT OF OURS, WHEN THE ORDER IS PROCESSED OR IS TO BE CHARGED AGAINST THE ACCOUNT, THE AMOUNT OF THE TRANSFER OR PAYMENT EXCEEDS THE AMOUNT OF MONEY AVAILABLE FOR WITHDRAWAL FROM THE ACCOUNT (TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION, IF THE ACCOUNT IS TIED TO A LINE OF CREDIT ACCOUNT OR OTHER OVERDRAFT FACILITY WITH US, THE AMOUNT OF CREDIT AVAILABLE UNDER THE LINE OF CREDIT ACCOUNT OR OTHER OVERDRAFT FACILITY);

l. WE IN GOOD FAITH BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A DISPUTE AS TO THE IDENTITY OF YOUR ADMINISTRATOR OR ANY ADDITIONAL USER OR THE AUTHORITY OF YOUR ADMINISTRATOR OR ANY ADDITIONAL USER TO USE NETEXPRESS; OR
m. OUR FAILURE TO MAKE THE TRANSFER OR PAYMENT IS JUSTIFIED BY ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, BY ANY PROVISION OF ANY OTHER AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND US CONCERNING ANY APPROVED DEPOSIT ACCOUNT, ANY OTHER DEPOSIT ACCOUNT WITH US, ANY APPROVED LOAN ACCOUNT, ANY LINE OF CREDIT ACCOUNT OR OTHER OVERDRAFT FACILITY WITH US TO WHICH ANY APPROVED DEPOSIT ACCOUNT OR OTHER DEPOSIT ACCOUNT WITH US IS TIED OR TRANSFERS OF FUNDS OR PAYMENTS TO OR FROM ANY APPROVED DEPOSIT ACCOUNT OR ANY OTHER DEPOSIT ACCOUNT WITH US (FOR EXAMPLE, AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND US GOVERNING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS THROUGH AN AUTOMATED CLEARING HOUSE OR BY A WIRE OR INTRABANK TRANSFER), ANY APPROVED LOAN ACCOUNT OR THE LINE OF CREDIT ACCOUNT OR OTHER OVERDRAFT FACILITY, BY ANY OPERATING PROCEDURE, SECURITY PROCEDURE OR ERROR DETECTION PROCEDURE OR BY APPLICABLE LAW.
