By submitting your application to obtain an account with us (“Account”) and to use the Services, you signify that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Sivo Terms of Service (“Agreement”), Sivo Account Agreement, the Deposit Account Agreements of the banking service provider for your account, other applicable terms and conditions referenced and incorporated in this Agreement, and to the collection and use of your information as set forth in the Sivo Privacy Policy. You also agree to receive all notices and other communications from us electronically. Sivo reserves the right to make unilateral modifications to these terms and will provide notice of these changes by posting an updated version to our legal page.

PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY TO ENSURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND EACH PROVISION. THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A MANDATORY INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL WAIVER PROVISION THAT REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS.

We provide Company Information to our Banking Services Provider and other third-party service providers to determine your eligibility for the Services. We rely on the accuracy of the Company Information you provide us when opening and maintaining your Account. We may deny your applications, suspend provision of the Services to you, or close your Account if Company Information is out of date, incomplete, or inaccurate. At any time during the term of this Agreement and as part of your use of the Services, we may require additional Company Information from you to verify your identity and the identity of your business, to obtain other information about your business, to open and maintain accounts and aspects of the Services, to assess your financial condition, and to evaluate the risks associated with your business.

2. The Sivo Services
A. Deposit Account. Your Deposit Account is a demand deposit account held with our Banking Services Provider and is subject to the terms of this Agreement and the additional terms of our Banking Services Provider. Your funds are fully insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. Your Deposit Account will be used in connection with the provision of the other Services under this Agreement. You may also use your Deposit Account to the extent provided in the terms of our Banking Services Provider.
B. Sivo Virtual and Physical Cards.
Your Sivo Account gives you access to virtual and physical cards (the “Sivo Credit Card” or “Sivo Charge Cards”) that you can use to make purchases for your business using funds in your Sivo Deposit Account. You may not use the Sivo Charge Cards for any non-business purpose, such as for personal or household purchases, when issued in conjunction with your business Account.
(i) Requesting and Receiving Sivo Credit Cards. When you sign up for a Sivo Deposit Account for your business, you will be issued one physical Sivo Card. You may request additional virtual and physical Sivo Cards for your employees, contractors, or other people affiliated with your business.
(ii) Spending Limits, Payments, and Refunds. Spending on your Sivo Charge Card(s) is limited by the available funds in your Deposit Account. Your Sivo Credit Card transactions will be settled as they occur by debiting your Sivo Deposit Account an amount equal to each Sivo Charge Card transaction. Refunds to your Sivo Charge Card will be applied to your Sivo Deposit Account. If you use your Sivo Card for preauthorized, recurring, or subscription payments, you should regularly monitor the available funds in your Deposit Account to ensure that funds are available to make those payments. If funds are not available at the time a preauthorized, recurring or subscription payment is attempted on your Sivo Charge Card, the transaction will ordinarily be declined. We will generally decline transactions attempted on your Sivo Charge Card that would overdraw your Deposit Account. If, however, we do not decline a transaction and that transaction does overdraw your account, we may limit your ability to use other features or spend additional funds from your Deposit Account until your Deposit Account has a positive balance and the transaction that has overdrawn your account has been paid. For more information related to the manner in which your Sivo Charge Card transactions are debited and settled, refer to the Sivo Account Agreement.
(iv) Disputes. If you have a dispute about a purchase on your Sivo Charge Card that you cannot resolve with the merchant directly (a “Disputed Charge”), please contact us on our support chat on the dashboard as soon as possible, and in all cases within 60 days of the charge. We cannot help you with Disputed Charges you report to us more than 60 days after the charge appears on your account. Disputed Charges will remain debited from your Deposit Account while we determine the outcome of the dispute. We will resolve all disputes in a commercially reasonable timeframe. If we determine you should be reimbursed, we will credit the amount of the Disputed Charge back to your Deposit Account and you will not be charged any fees. If we determine that the Disputed Charge was valid, your Deposit Account will not be reimbursed and you will be charged a fee as set forth in the Fee Schedule. You assign and transfer to us any rights and claims, excluding tort claims, that you have against a merchant for any Disputed Charge that is fully or partially credited to your Deposit Account. We may assign and transfer the rights you assign and transfer to us under this provision to the Sivo Charge Card Issuer.
(v) Records, Fees, and Communication. All transaction records and periodic statements may be found in your dashboard for your Account. All fees associated with the Sivo Credit Cards may be found in the Fee Schedule.
(vi) Other Sivo Credit Card Terms. Sivo Credit Cards are issued by Celtic Bank (the “Issuer.” ) You agree to the applicable Celtic Bank terms and conditions. You agree that any future changes to the relevant Celtic Bank terms and conditions will apply to your Sivo Card, whether or not Sivo or Celtic Bank alerts you to those changes to the Celtic Bank terms and conditions.
3. USA Patriot Act Notice
In order for Sivo to comply with “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including without limitation, the Patriot Act, prior to providing any services to you, Sivo may request your name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identification information as shall be necessary for Sivo to comply with federal law.
4. Fees and Payment.
A. Payment Method. You must keep a valid payment method on file with us to pay for all fees owed. We will debit fees from your Deposit Account or another payment method that you authorize. Sivo will charge the payment method that you authorize for all applicable fees until the Services are terminated, and any and all outstanding fees have been paid in full. If we are unable to process payment of fees using your payment method on file, we will make a second attempt to process the payment using the payment method on file within three (3) days. If the second attempt is not successful, we will notify you, and may suspend and revoke access to the Services. If the Services are suspended, your Services will be reactivated upon payment of any amounts owed. If the outstanding fees remain unpaid for sixty (60) days following the date of suspension, then Wise reserves the right to terminate your Account. You may change your payment method through your account settings.
B. Applicable Fees. Your use of the Services is subject to the fees on the Fee Schedule included in the Sivo Account Agreement and which may be updated from time-to-time at our discretion. For fees owed under this Agreement, we will automatically charge you using the payment method you have on file with us and by agreeing to this Agreement, you authorize us to do this. You will be charged via invoice each month on your billing date (“Billing Date”) for all outstanding fees that have not previously been charged or collected. All fees are exclusive of applicable taxes. You are responsible for all applicable taxes that arise from or as a result of your use of the Services.
C. Collection and Right to Set-Off. You agree to pay all amounts owed to us on demand. Your failure to pay amounts owed to us under this Agreement is a breach and you will be liable for any costs we incur during collection in addition to the amount you owe. Collection costs may include attorneys’ fees, costs of arbitration or court proceedings, collection agency fees, any applicable interest, and any other related cost. We may collect amounts you owe to us under this Agreement by deducting any amounts you owe to use from your Deposit Account. You grant us a security interest in and right to set off against the Deposit Account.

A. Governing Law. You agree that: (i) the Services shall be deemed solely based in Delaware, except as may be set forth in the Bank Provider Agreements; and (ii) the Services shall be deemed a passive one that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over us, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than California. This Agreement shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of California, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences with respect to the substantive law, any arbitration conducted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16). You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in San Francisco County, California for any actions for which we retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a our copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights, as set forth in the Arbitration provision below, including any provisional relief required to prevent irreparable harm. Subject to Section 11.B, you agree that the federal or state courts located in San Francisco County, California is the proper forum for any appeals of an arbitration award or for trial court proceedings in the event that the Arbitration provision below is found to be unenforceable.
B. Arbitration. READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO ARBITRATE THEIR DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM Sivo. For any dispute with Sivo, you agree to first contact us at 2261 Market Street #4175, San Francisco CA, 94114 and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally. In the unlikely event that Sivo has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after sixty (60) days, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any claims arising from protection of Intellectual Property Rights, breach of Confidential Information, which will be resolved through litigation in accordance with Section 11.A, or for injunctive or other equitable relief as provided below) arising out of or in connection with or relating to this Agreement, or the breach or alleged breach thereof (collectively, “Claims”), by binding arbitration by JAMS. Claims with amounts claimed greater than $250,000 will apply the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures; and Disputes with amounts claimed less than or equal to $250,000 will apply the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted in San Francisco County, California, unless you and Sivo agree otherwise. If JAMS cannot administer the Claim, either party may petition the US District Court for the Northern District of California to appoint an arbitrator. Each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules, and the award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Either party may commence arbitration by providing a written demand for arbitration to JAMS and the other party detailing the subject of the Claim and the relief requested. Each party will continue to perform its obligations under this Agreement unless that obligation or the amount (to the extent in dispute) is itself the subject of the Claim. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed as preventing either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of our data security, Intellectual Property Rights or other proprietary rights. Proceedings and information related to them will be maintained as confidential, including the nature and details of the Claim, evidence produced, testimony given, and the outcome of the Claim, unless such information was already in the public domain or was independently obtained. Company and Sivo, and all witnesses, advisors, and arbitrators will only share such information as necessary to prepare for or conduct arbitration or other legal proceeding, or enforcement of the outcome, unless additional disclosure is required by law.
C. Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver. With respect to all persons and entities, regardless of whether they have obtained an account or used the services for personal, commercial or other purposes, all Claims must be brought in the parties’ individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action, collective action, private attorney general action or other representative proceeding. This waiver applies to class arbitration, and, unless we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims. You agree that, by entering into this agreement, you and Sivo are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action, collective action, private attorney general action, or other representative proceeding of any kind.
15. Communication
By providing us with a telephone number for a mobile device, including a number that you later convert to a mobile device number, you are expressly consenting to receiving communications—including but not limited to prerecorded or artificial voice message calls, text messages, and calls made by an automatic telephone dialing system—from us and our affiliates and agents at that number, about any product or services offered by Sivo.

2. Our Right to Exercise the Security Interest. You irrevocably and unconditionally relinquish possession and control over the Collateral Account, and you pledge and assign as security to us all of your right, title, and interest in it. You must take any action we request to perfect or protect our first lien position Security Interest in the Collateral Account. You waive the benefit of any homestead or other exemptions in the Collateral Account. Our Security Interest will be governed by Uniform Commercial Code - Article 9 (as adopted by the applicable state law) whether Article 9 applies by its terms or not. We do not have to give you any prior notice to apply the funds in your Deposit Account or other Collateral Account or its proceeds to satisfy your obligations. You expressly agree that our rights under this Security Agreement extend to any electronically deposited federal or state benefit payments (including Social Security benefits) to the extent permitted by law. If you do not want your benefits applied in this way, you may change your direct deposit instructions at any time with the person or organization paying the benefits. In addition, you grant us a right of setoff to your Deposit Account to secure all amounts you owe us under this Agreement. This right of setoff does not apply to your Collateral Account or to your Deposit Account if prohibited by law. You agree to hold us harmless from any claim arising as a result of our exercise of our right of setoff or Security Interest.
3. Agent’s Security Interest in Your Collateral Account.
a. We and Agent acknowledge, and you confirm, that you have separately granted to Agent, as of the date you enter into this Agreement, a security interest in all right, title and interest in any Collateral Account you have with us, and all funds deposited therein, now owned or hereinafter acquired (collectively, the Agent Collateral Account), to secure the performance of your obligations to Agent, pursuant to a separate agreement with Agent (Agent Agreement), including your duty to pay Agent for all obligations you owe Agent under that Agent Agreement, present or hereinafter occurring, when payments are due, for every transaction made with your Deposit or Collateral Accounts by you, an Authorized User, or any other person that you or an Authorized User permits to use your Sivo or Collateral Account (Security Interest).
b. You, Agent, and we are entering into this Agreement to evidence Agent’s security interest in the Agent Collateral and Agent’s control over any Collateral Account that comprises Agent Collateral. We confirm that we are a “bank” as defined in 9-102(a)(8) of the UCC (as defined below) and each Collateral Account is a “deposit account” as defined in 9-102(a)(29) of the UCC. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any agreement between the parties hereto or otherwise relating to any Collateral Account, the “bank’s jurisdiction” with respect to the perfection, non-perfection and/or priority of security interests, within the meaning of Section 9-304 of the Uniform Commercial Code (as in effect in the State of Tennessee, the “UCC”) shall be the State of Tennessee for the purposes hereof.
c. You expressly agree that we will comply with instructions originated by Agent directing disposition of the funds in any Collateral Account that comprises Agent Collateral without your further consent.
4. What Happens When You Spend Money. When you make a transaction on a Card, an equivalent amount of funds in the Deposit Account will be classified as Spent Money. The Spent Money will remain in your Deposit Account, but you will not earn interest on it. When you make a payment on your Card, an amount of the Spent Money equal to the amount of the payment will no longer be classified as Spent Money. You authorize us to limit your ability to withdraw or transfer all or part of the funds in your Deposit Account, up to the amount of funds classified as Spent Money, as reasonably necessary to ensure that your Card Balance (defined below in Section III.A.2.a) and total of other transactions on your Deposit Account do not exceed the Available Balance (defined below in Section IV.B.1) in your Deposit Account at any given time, and to preserve our rights under this Security Agreement.
5. YOU MAY LOSE FUNDS IN YOUR DEPOSIT ACCOUNT. If you are in default of any obligation under this Agreement, or your Sivo Account is closed for any reason, you authorize us to withdraw funds from your Deposit Account and apply such amounts to the balance you owe us without sending you notice or demand for payment. We may do this in addition to the other rights we have under law or this Agreement. The application of your funds to the balance you owe under this Agreement will not affect your obligation to pay us in full. You are responsible for the repayment of all amounts you owe us under this Agreement.
6. Legal Proceedings. You represent that (a) there are no current lawsuits or bankruptcy proceedings that might affect our interest in your Deposit Account; and (b) you have not and will not attempt to transfer any interest in your Deposit Account to any other person or offer your Deposit Account as collateral or security for any other obligation. If any person seeks to attach your Deposit Account, for example by legal garnishment, you agree that we may deem all amounts you owe us, including any unpaid Sivo Card Balance (defined below in Section III.A.2.a), immediately payable and apply the funds in your Deposit Account as payment of those amounts. If we must hire an attorney to defend or enforce our rights under the Security Agreement, you will pay our reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs, unless prohibited by law.

What Will Happen After We Receive Your Notice
When we receive your notice, we must do two things:
While we investigate whether or not there has been an error, the following are true:
After we finish our investigation, one of two things will happen:
If you receive our explanation but still believe your bill is wrong, you must write to us within 10 days telling us that you still refuse to pay. If you do so, we cannot report you as delinquent without also reporting that you are questioning your bill. We must tell you the name of anyone to whom we reported you as delinquent, and we must let those organizations know when the matter has been settled between us.
If we do not follow all of the rules above, you do not have to pay the first $50 of the amount you question even if your bill is correct.
Your Rights If You Are Dissatisfied With Your Card Purchases. If you are dissatisfied with the goods or services that you have purchased with your Card, and you have tried in good faith to correct the problem with the merchant, you may have the right not to pay the remaining amount due on the purchase.
To use this right, all of the following must be true:
If all of the criteria above are met and you are still dissatisfied with the purchase, contact us in writing or electronically at the address listed above.
While we investigate, the same rules apply to the disputed amount as discussed above. After we finish our investigation, we will tell you our decision. At that point, if we think you owe an amount and you do not pay we may report you as delinquent.
If we provide you a credit for all or part of a disputed transaction, you give us all of your rights against others regarding that transaction. You will also: (a) give us any information about the disputed transaction, if we ask; (b) not pursue any claim or reimbursement of the transaction amount from the merchant or any other person; and (c) help us get reimbursement from others. If we reimburse you for unauthorized transactions, you will help us investigate, pursue and get reimbursement from the wrongdoer. Your help includes giving us documents in a form that we request.

2. Consequences of Default. If you are in default, we may take certain actions with respect to your Sivo Account. For example, we may take the following actions, without notifying you, unless the law says that we must give you notice:
IV. DEPOSIT ACCOUNT TERMS
This section governs your use of your Deposit Account.
A. Deposits
1. Limited Deposit Account Access. Your Deposit Account is only accessible through the App on your mobile or web device. You may only make withdrawals and transactions from your Deposit Account by initiating permitted transactions on the App. You will not be able to make withdrawals or deposits on your Deposit Account at branch locations, by telephone, at the point of sale, or at ATMs. You may not use your Card to debit your Deposit Account.
2. FDIC Insurance. Funds in your Deposit Account are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, up to the applicable limit. The amount of insurance coverage you have may depend on the balance in your Deposit Account and the ownership, type of, and balances held in any other accounts you have with us. For additional information, please visit the FDIC website at www.fdic.gov.
3. Deposit Requirements. Deposits must be made in U.S. Dollars. Deposits made by ACH are subject to the NACHA Operating Rules and Operating Guidelines and the rules of any regional clearing houses we may use from time to time (collectively, the ACH Rules). Before final settlement of any deposit, we act only as your agent. We will give only provisional credit until collection is final for any items we accept for deposit (including items drawn on us). You authorize us to attempt to collect previously returned items without giving you notice, and in attempting to collect we may permit the payor bank to hold an item beyond an applicable deadline. Actual credit for deposits of, or payable in, foreign currency will be at the exchange rate in effect on final collection in U.S. dollars. We will treat and record all transactions received after the Cutoff Time (defined below) on a Business Day we are open, or received on a day we are not open for business, as if initiated on the next Business Day that we are open. At our option, we may take an item for collection rather than for deposit.
4. Permitted Deposits. Deposits to your Deposit Account may be made using one of the following payment methods:
5. Deposit Records and Receipts. We and our service providers may rely on the account number on any record of a deposit you make, even if that account number is associated with a name that is different from the name you have provided. It is not our responsibility to detect any inconsistency between the account number you provide and the name. You may use the App or call us to confirm that we have received a deposit. If you make a deposit, we may provide a confirmation of your deposit, but the amount on your deposit confirmation may not reflect the amount of funds we actually receive. We may confirm the funds you deposit and, after review, may adjust your Deposit Account for any errors including any errors on your deposit request or similar records. If we give you a confirmation for a deposit that you then cancel, the confirmation is void and you may not claim those funds.
6. Our Right to Refuse Deposits. We may refuse a deposit, or part of a deposit, at any time. We also may refuse a deposit after initially accepting it. We will not be liable to you for refusing a deposit, even if it causes us to decline any transactions you have already made.
7. When You Can Withdraw Funds You Have Deposited. Please see the Funds Availability Policy for information about when funds you deposit will be available for withdrawal. If funds from a deposit become available and you can withdraw them, that does not mean the item you have deposited is good, has cleared, or has been paid by the paying bank. It is possible that the item will be returned unpaid months after we have made the funds available to you and you have withdrawn them.
8. Our Right to Charge Back Deposited or Cashed Items. If you make a deposit and (a) the sending bank returns it to us unpaid; (b) the sending bank demands that we repay them because the deposit was unauthorized; or (c) the sending bank or the originator of a transfer demands that we return the item because it was unauthorized, sent to the wrong account number or procured by fraud, we may pay the return or demand, and subtract the funds from your balance. If we have reason to believe that any of the events in the previous sentence has occurred or may occur or that the item should not have been paid or may not be paid for any other reason, we may place a hold on the funds or move them to a bank-managed administrative account until we determine who is entitled to them.
9. All Deposits Are Credited Subject to Final Settlement in Cash or Credits. We have the right to forward all deposited items to correspondents including all Federal Reserve Banks, and we will not be liable for default or neglect of any correspondents for loss in transit, and no correspondent will be liable except for its own negligence. You specifically authorize us or our correspondents including the Federal Reserve Banks to handle such items in accordance with provisions of Regulation J (12 CFR Part 210), as revised or amended from time to time by the Federal Reserve Board. In the event we are subject to local clearinghouse rules, you specifically authorize us to handle such items in accordance with the rules and regulations of the clearinghouse.
If we permit you to withdraw funds from your Deposit Account before final settlement has been made for any deposited item, and final settlement is not made, we have the right to charge your Deposit Account or obtain a refund from you. In addition, we may charge back any deposited item at any time before final settlement for whatever reason. We will not be liable for any damages resulting from the exercise of these rights. Except as may be attributable to our lack of good faith or failure to exercise ordinary care, we will not be liable for dishonor resulting from any reversal of credit, return of deposited items or for any damages resulting from any of those actions.

22. ARBITRATION AGREEMENT
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OPT OUT OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AS DESCRIBED BELOW.
Agreement to Arbitrate
This section is referred to as the Arbitration Agreement. If you have a dispute with the Bank or any other Indemnified Party, and are not able to resolve the dispute informally, you and we agree that upon demand by you, the Bank or any other Indemnified Party, the dispute will be resolved through the arbitration process set forth in this section.
Arbitration
You agree that if you have a dispute or claim that has arisen or may arise between you and the Bank or any other Indemnified Party, whether arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including any alleged breach), your Sivo Account and services provided under this Agreement, any advertising, any aspect of the relationship or transactions between us, and you are not able to resolve the dispute or claim informally, you and we agree that upon demand by you, the Bank or any other Indemnified Party, the dispute or claim will be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement. except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into this Arbitration Agreement, you and the Bank are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.
Parties Subject to this Arbitration Agreement
This Arbitration Agreement applies whenever there is a claim between you and us. If a third party, such as an Indemnified Party other than the Bank, is also involved in a claim between you and us, or if a dispute arises between you and an Indemnified Party other than the Bank relating to this Agreement or your Sivo Account, then the claim will be decided with respect to the third party in arbitration as well, in accordance with this Arbitration Agreement, and it must be named as a party in accordance with the rules of procedure governing the arbitration. No award or relief will be granted by the arbitrator except on behalf of, or against, a named party.
THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT DOES NOT APPLY TO YOU IF, AS OF THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU ARE A COVERED BORROWER UNDER THE FEDERAL MILITARY LENDING ACT. IF YOU WOULD LIKE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT WHETHER YOU ARE COVERED BY THE MILITARY LENDING ACT, IN WHICH CASE THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION DOES NOT APPLY TO YOU, PLEASE CONTACT US AT legal@sivo.com.
Exclusions
You and we retain the right to pursue in small claims court (or an equivalent state court) any dispute that is within that court jurisdiction, so long as the disputes remain in such court and advance only an individual claim for relief. If either you or we fail to submit to binding arbitration of an arbitrable dispute following lawful demand, the party so failing will bear all costs and expenses incurred by the other in compelling arbitration.
Your Right to Opt Out
If you do not want this Arbitration Agreement to apply to your Sivo Account, you may opt out by sending us written notice of your decision within 30 days of the opening of your Sivo Account. Such notice must clearly state that you wish to cancel or opt out of the Arbitration Agreement section of this Agreement. It should include your name, address, Sivo Account number, and your signature and must be mailed to Solid Financial Technologies, Inc. ATTN: LEGAL, 2955 Campus Dr #110, San Mateo, CA 94403. This is the sole and only method by which you can opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. Your exercise of the right to opt-out will not affect any remaining terms of this Agreement and will not result in any adverse consequence to you or your Sivo Account. You agree that our business records will be final and conclusive evidence with respect to whether you cancelled or opted out of this Arbitration Agreement in a timely and proper fashion.
Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief
YOU AGREE THAT YOU MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE BANK OR ANY OTHER INDEMNIFIED PARTY ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND THE BANK AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON OR PARTY CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S), EXCEPT THAT YOU MAY PURSUE A CLAIM FOR AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF UNDER APPLICABLE LAW TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED FOR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS PROVISION.
Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution
The Bank and Indemnified Parties are always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to your satisfaction by contacting us by logging into your Sivo account and contacting us via live chat. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (Notice). The Notice to the Bank or Indemnified Party should be sent to Sivo 2955 Campus Dr #110, San Mateo, CA 94403. The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (b) set forth the specific relief sought. If you do not resolve the claim with the Bank or Indemnified Party within 60 calendar days after the Notice is received, you or the Bank or Indemnified Party, as applicable, may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by any party will not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or the Bank is entitled.
Arbitration Procedures
Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association (AAA) rules and procedures, including the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, the AAA Rules), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. For information on the AAA, please visit its website, http://www.adr.org.
Information about the AAA Rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the AAA consumer arbitration page, http://www.adr.org/consumer_arbitration. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of this Agreement as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under this Agreement and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.
Unless the parties to the arbitration agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination will be made by AAA. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator will issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.
Costs of Arbitration
Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the Arbitration Fees) will be governed by the AAA Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. If the value of the relief sought is $75,000 or less, at your request, the Bank will pay all Arbitration Fees. If the value of relief sought is more than $75,000 and you are able to demonstrate to the arbitrator that you are economically unable to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees or if the arbitrator otherwise determines for any reason that you should not be required to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees, the Bank will pay your portion of such fees. In addition, if you demonstrate to the arbitrator that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, the Bank will pay as much of the Arbitration Fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. Any payment of attorneys' fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
Confidentiality
All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
Severability
If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than the Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief section above) is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement will be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of the Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief section are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement will be null and void, unless such provisions are deemed to be invalid or unenforceable solely with respect to claims for public injunctive relief. The remainder of this Arbitration Agreement will continue to apply.
Future Changes to this Arbitration AGREEMENT
Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Bank makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address) while you have a Sivo Account, you may reject any such change by sending the Bank written notice within 30 days of the change to the Notice Address. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute covered by this Arbitration Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted this Agreement (or accepted any subsequent changes to this Agreement).

This Fee Schedule lists the fees that may be applicable to your Sivo Account. You agree to pay all fees applicable to your Sivo Account.

FUNDS AVAILABILITY POLICY
PURPOSE. The information here describes our policy of holding deposited items in a Deposit Account before funds are made available to you for withdrawal.
DETERMINING THE AVAILABILITY OF YOUR DEPOSIT. Our policy is to delay the availability of funds from your deposits. The length of the delay varies based on the type of deposit as set forth below. During the delay, you may not withdraw the funds, and we will not pay transactions from your Deposit Account using these funds.
The length of the delay is counted in Business Days from the day of your deposit. If you make a deposit before 2:00PM PT on a Business Day, we will consider that day to be the day of your deposit. However, if you make a deposit after 2:00PM PT or on a day that is not a Business Day, we will consider the deposit made on the next Business Day.

ELECTRONIC FUND TRANSFER AGREEMENT
Electronic Fund Transfers: Your Rights and Responsibilities
This disclosure contains important information about your use of electronic fund transfer (EFT) services provided by the Bank in connection with your Sivo Account. Whenever you accept or authorize EFTs to your Deposit Account, you agree to these terms and conditions, in addition to any other applicable limitations in this Agreement concerning deposits to and withdrawals from your Deposit Account. Please read this document carefully and retain it for future reference.
Business Days. Our Business Days are every day except Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays on which banks in [Tennessee] are legally authorized to be closed.
Types of Available EFTs
Limits on the Type, Frequency or Amount of EFTs. Your Deposit Account may be subject to limitations on the amount or number of withdrawals that you may make from your Deposit Account, including EFTs. Please see Article IV of this Agreement and the Truth in Savings Disclosures. For security reasons, we may also, in our sole discretion, set limits on the dollar amounts of EFTs and on the number of EFTs that may be requested or initiated. To protect the security of the Bank or your Deposit Account, we may suspend your use of EFTs, as permitted by law.
Managing Your Account Balance. You agree that the amount of any EFT debit transaction you authorize will not exceed the Available Balance in your Deposit Account used to make the transaction, or your Spending Limit. We do not have to allow any EFT that would create an overdraft in your Deposit Account. We may in our sole discretion choose to permit an EFT that would create an overdraft in your Deposit Account. If we are unable to complete an EFT or perform any other EFT service for any reason associated with your Deposit Account, the EFT or other service may not be completed and we will not notify you unless required by applicable law.
Your Rights and Responsibilities
The use of EFT services described in this Agreement creates certain rights and responsibilities regarding these services as described below.
Documentation of Your EFTs
Periodic Statements. All EFT transactions will be reported on your periodic statement. See Section II.A.8 of this Agreement for more information.
Direct Deposits. If you have arranged to have direct deposits made to your Deposit Account at least once every 60 days, the company making the deposit may tell you every time they send us the money. You may also contact us by logging into your Sivo account and contacting us via live chat to find out whether or not the deposit has been made.
Confirmation. You may contact us by logging into your Sivo account and contacting us via live chat to find out whether any EFT you request was successfully completed.
Preauthorized and Other Regular (Automatic) Debits
Right to Stop Payment and Procedure for Doing So
If you have told us in advance to make regular payments out of your Deposit Account, you can stop any of the payments. Here is how:
Contact us by logging into your Sivo account and contacting us via live chat in time for us to receive your request three Business Days or more before the payment is scheduled to be made. If you contact us to stop a payment, please have the following information ready: your account number, the date the transfer is to be made, to whom the transfer is being made, and the amount of the scheduled transfer. 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 may charge you (see Fee Schedule for exact fees) for each stop-payment order you give. Stop-payment orders may expire after six months from the date of your stop-payment request, and you may be required to renew it in order to ensure its continued effectiveness.
Liability for Failure to Stop Payment of Preauthorized Transfer
If you order us to stop a preauthorized automatic debit three Business Days or more before the transfer is scheduled and we do not do so, we will be liable for your losses or damages.
Notice of Varying Amounts
If you have authorized regular payments out of your Deposit Account, and these regular payments may vary in amount, we or the person you are going to pay will tell you, 10 days before each payment, when it will be made and how much it will be. You may choose instead to get this notice only when the payment would differ by more than a certain amount from the previous payment, or when the amount would fall outside certain limits that you set.
Our Refusal to Pay a Preauthorized or Other Regular (Automatic) Debit
We reserve the right to refuse to pay a regular (automatic) debit, for example, if your Deposit Account has insufficient funds to cover such transfer or if we are unable to verify the ownership of or other information about the account to which the funds will be transferred. You may contact us by logging into your Sivo account and contacting us via live chat to request information about a refusal by us to pay a regular (automatic) debit.
Your Liability for Unauthorized Transfers
During your online Sivo Account set-up, you will be invited to register your phone number and create Access Credentials to protect your Sivo Account from unauthorized access. You are responsible for maintaining ownership of the mobile device associated with the phone number and security of your other Access Credentials.
Tell us AT ONCE if you believe that any Access Credentials or device you use to access your Sivo Account has been lost or stolen, that an EFT has been made without your permission, or that someone has transferred or may transfer money from your Deposit Account without your authorization. You may contact us by logging into your Sivo account and contacting us via live chat or such other addresses as we may provide to you from time to time. Using our live chat is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. You could lose all the money in your Deposit Account. If you tell us within two Business Days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Access Credentials or device, your liability will be limited to $50 if someone accesses your Deposit Account without your authorization.
If you DO NOT tell us within two Business Days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Access Credentials or device, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your Access Credentials or device 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, 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 money you lost after the 60 days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money had you told us in time. If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) keeps you from telling us, we will extend the time periods.
If you grant authority to make transfers to another person who exceeds the authority granted, you are fully liable for any transfers until you notify us that transfers by that person are no longer authorized.
In Case of Errors or Questions about your EFTs
Contact us by logging into your Sivo account and contacting us via live chat as soon as possible, if you think your statement or receipt is wrong or if you need more information about a transfer listed on the statement or receipt. We must hear from you no later than 60 days after we send the FIRST statement on which the problem or error appeared.
(1) Tell us your name and your account number (if any).
(2) Describe the error or 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.
(3) Tell us the dollar amount of the suspected error.
If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your 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 your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will credit your Deposit Account within 10 Business Days for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have 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 Deposit Account.
For errors involving new Sivo Accounts, point-of-sale, or foreign-initiated transactions, we may take up to 90 days to investigate your complaint or question. For new Sivo Accounts, we may take up to 20 days to credit your Deposit 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 ask for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation.
Our Liability for Failure to Make a Transfer. If we do not complete a transfer to or from your Deposit Account on time or in the correct amount according to this Agreement, we will be liable for your losses or damages. However, there are some exceptions. We will not be liable, for instance:
Charges for Transfers or the Right to Make Transfers
We may assess a fee for each EFT, or stop-payment order. Please see the applicable Fee Schedule to determine the applicable amount. The circumstances under which such charges will be assessed, as well as the amount of the charge, are included in the current Fee Schedule.
Confidentiality
We will disclose information to third parties about your Sivo Account or the transfers you make:
(1) Where it is necessary for completing transfers;
(2) In order to verify the existence and condition of your Sivo Account for a third party, such as a credit bureau or merchant;
(3) In order to comply with government agency or court orders;
(4) To persons authorized by law in the course of their official duties;
(5) To our employees, auditors, service providers, attorneys, or collection agents in the course of their duties;
(6) As disclosed in our Privacy Notice; and,
(7) If you give us your written permission.
Amendments. We may change any provision of this Electronic Fund Transfer Agreement at our discretion. If we do, we will give you notice if and to the extent required by applicable law.
Termination. We reserve the right to terminate your use of any or all of our EFT services for any reason and at any time without notifying you. You also have the right to terminate your use of the EFT services described in this Agreement at any time by calling us or writing to us. If you call, we may require you to put your request in writing and get it to us within 10 Business Days after you call. (Please note that email, SMS/text or online notification will not meet the notice requirements of this section.) If you terminate your use of our EFT services and you have arranged for automatic (regular) transfers involving third parties, you are required to inform any third parties that the transfers will cease. Any termination of your use of our EFT services, whether initiated by you or us, will not affect any of your or our rights and obligations under this Agreement that have arisen before the effective date of such termination.

It is our goal to provide you with as many digital banking options as possible, including providing information to you electronically. We are required by law to give you certain information in writing. This means you have the right to receive that information on paper. With your consent, we can provide it to you electronically, instead.
In this Agreement:
You agree to receive electronic Communications from us.
As part of your relationship with us, we will provide you with Communications. By accepting this Agreement, you consent to receive Communications in electronic form for any products, services and accounts that you have or apply for, either now or in the future. You also consent to the use of electronic signatures in your relationship with us.
We may still choose to provide you with information on paper even though you have consented to receive it electronically. In some cases, we are not permitted by law to deliver certain Communications to you electronically. However, if the law changes in the future and permits additional Communications to be delivered electronically, this Agreement will automatically cover those Communications as well.
We may deliver electronic Communications to you in several ways.
When we deliver electronic Communications to you, we will either: (1) email them to you; (2) post them on our website; (3) present them on-screen or for download through one of our online or mobile banking services; (4) include them in other electronic Communications that we are delivering to you, such as electronic account statements; or (5) in the manner specified in any other agreement we have with you. If we are not emailing or presenting the information to you directly, we will tell you where you can go to view that information.
If you seek to obtain a new product, service or account with us, we may remind you that you have already consented to receiving electronic Communications and using electronic signatures in your relationship with us. If you choose not to receive electronic Communications or use electronic signatures in connection with the new product, service or account, that choice does not mean you have withdrawn your consent with respect to any other product, service or account.
You will need some technology to receive electronic Communications.
To receive and retain electronic Communications from us, you will need the following:
If our hardware and software requirements change, and that change would create a material risk that you would not be able to access or retain electronic Communications, we will give you notice of the change. Continuing to use our electronic services after receiving notice of updates to our system requirements signifies your acceptance of the change and reaffirmation of your consent.
Please keep your contact information up to date.
It is your responsibility to keep all of your contact information current so that we can send you electronic Communications. You can update your email address and other contact information by editing your profile in the Sivo Application. You may also contact us at privacy@sivo.com.
You may have the option to receive paper copies.
We may choose to make paper copies of certain electronic Communications available upon request. You can request paper account statements via email to privacy@sivo.com.
You can withdraw your consent to receive electronic Communications.
You have the right to withdraw this consent at any time. Withdrawing consent may terminate your access to certain electronic services. You may also no longer be able to use certain Sivo products. After we have processed your withdrawal, future Communications required to be in writing will be delivered to you on paper, subject to applicable fees. To withdraw your consent to receiving electronic Communications, you may contact us via email at privacy@sivo.com. Your withdrawal of consent will become effective only after we have had a reasonable opportunity to act upon it.

To provide services under this section, we may collect personally identifiable information, your Bank Account login credentials or account and routing numbers for your Bank Account, or other User Data information as we may request from time to time as further detailed in these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. Transactions processed via Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) will be processed in accordance with such timeframes except as otherwise noted in these Terms of Service. Such transaction services may be limited, delayed, or denied for risk and compliance reasons that we may not be able to disclose to you. You understand that the transactions may be limited, delayed, or denied and expressly disclaim any claims relating to such actions. We are not responsible for reviewing the accuracy of the transactions (amount, date, or the sender or receiver of funds). Additionally, we are not responsible if the receiver of funds rejects your transaction.
c. Other services.
We may from time to time offer additional services or remove services without prior notice to you. You agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of such services as they may be offered to you.
6. Fees.
Fees for services offered under your Account are detailed in the specific Account agreements.

In the event that a sender or the sender’s financial institution requests a reversal of payment or Solid decides against you in a dispute against you, we reserve the right to charge you a $15.00 fee in addition to the full amount of the transaction (collectively, the “Reversal Dues”). You agree to immediately reimburse for the Reversal Dues. Additionally, you authorize us to recover any Reversal Dues outstanding to Solid or Bank by debiting your available Account Balance. If you have an insufficient Account Balance, you authorize Solid and our Bank to take any of the following actions to recover the remaining amounts from you:

17. IMPORTANT LEGAL PROVISIONS
a. NO WARRANTIES.
THE SERVICES UNDER THE TERMS OF SERVICE, Solid’S WEBSITE, AND ITS CONTENT ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE WARRANTY OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, NON INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTIES’ RIGHTS, AND FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
THE Solid SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITHOUT ANY REPRESENTATION OF WARRANTY, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. USE OF THE Solid SERVICES IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. Solid, BANKS, AND OUR AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AGENTS, EMPLOYEES, AND SUPPLIERS, SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. NEITHER Solid NOR BANK HAVE CONTROL OF, OR LIABILITY FOR, ANY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES OFFERED BY PLATFORMS OR THAT ARE PAID FOR USING OUR SERVICES AND CANNOT ENSURE THAT ANY PLATFORM OR OTHER THIRD PARTY YOU TRANSACT WITH WILL COMPLETE THE TRANSACTION. NEITHER Solid NOR BANK REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT OUR SERVICES WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, BE CONTINUOUS, UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, TIMELY, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY YOU FROM Solid OR THROUGH OUR SERVICES WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED HEREIN. NEITHER Solid NOR BANK SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS OR SYSTEM FAILURES THAT MAY AFFECT THE PROCESSING, COMPLETION, OR SETTLEMENT OF OUR SERVICE TRANSACTIONS. THIS DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY SECTION SHALL APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW IN THE APPLICABLE JURISDICTION
Solid MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES RELATING TO YOUR FUNDS OR ACCOUNT BALANCES INCLUDING FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION (“FDIC”) INSURANCE COVERAGE OR SECURITIES INVESTOR PROTECTION CORPORATION (“SPIC”) INSURANCE COVERAGE. SUCH REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES MAY BE FOUND IN THE SPECIFIC ACCOUNT AGREEMENT OR AGREEMENT WITH YOUR PLATFORM. UNLESS NOTIFIED OTHERWISE BY SUCH AGREEMENTS, YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCES MAY LOSE VALUE IN THE EVENT BANK OR BROKER DEALER ENTERS A RECEIVERSHIP.
b. Force majeure.
You understand and agree we will not be held responsible for any losses or damages resulting from suspension of service due to extraordinary events or circumstances beyond our control. In such an event, Solid or Bank may suspend the services and access to your Account held by Bank or Platform for your benefit.
c. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
IN NO EVENT SHALL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, INCIDENTAL, AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS, OR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM LOST DATA OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) RESULTING FROM THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE Solid’S, BANK’S, PLATFORM’S SERVICES OR WEBSITES OR PHONE APPLICATIONS OR CONTENT THEREIN WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN SUCH STATES, OUR LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
d. Indemnification.
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Solid and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, and suppliers (collectively “Disclaiming Entities”) from and against any third party claim, suit, demand, loss, liability, damage, action, proceeding or suits and related liabilities, damages, settlements, penalties, fines, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and other litigation expenses) arising out of or relating to (i) your breach of any provision of these Terms of Service; (ii) your actions and omissions in connection with your accounts or our services; (iii) our actions and omissions, provided that they are taken/omitted in accordance with this Terms of Service or your instructions; or (iv) your violation of any laws and regulations; or (v) your negligent or reckless act or omission or willful misconduct of your employees, contractors, or agents. This provision shall survive the termination of these Terms of Service.
e. Binding Arbitration.
Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service, or the breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. In any arbitration arising out of or related to the Terms of Service, the arbitrators will award to the prevailing party, if any, the costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with those aspects of its claims or defenses on which it prevails, and any opposing awards of costs and attorneys’ fees awards will be offset.
No class actions or similar process, and no joinder or consolidation of any claim with a claim of any other person or entity, shall be allowable in arbitration, without the written consent of both parties. The arbitrator shall have no authority to entertain any claim on behalf of a class, group, person, or entity who is not a named party to the arbitration, nor shall any arbitrator have authority to make any award for the benefit of, or against, any class, group, person, or entity who is not a named party to the arbitration. In the event that there is a dispute about whether limiting arbitration to non-class proceedings, or to the named parties, is enforceable under applicable law, then that question shall be resolved by a court rather than by an arbitrator, and to the extent, it is determined that resolution of a claim must proceed on a class basis, it shall so proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction rather than in arbitration.
The place of arbitration shall be San Francisco, CA, except to the extent, the arbitration involves Bank and/or your Account, or a third-party service provider of Solid as a party to the dispute, then Solid may in its sole discretion move the place of arbitration to the location of such arbitration proceedings to which you have previously agreed to in such agreements (See, your specific Account Agreement Arbitration sections for more information of the place of arbitration).
ARBITRATION WITH RESPECT TO A CLAIM IS BINDING AND NEITHER PARTY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE THAT CLAIM THROUGH A COURT. IN ARBITRATION THE PARTIES WILL NOT HAVE THE SAME RIGHTS THAT APPLY IN COURT, SUCH AS THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JUDGE OR JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE OR BE REPRESENTED IN PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT BY OTHERS SUCH AS CLASS ACTIONS OR SIMILAR PROCEEDINGS. IN ADDITION, THE RIGHT TO DISCOVERY AND THE RIGHT TO APPEAL MAY ALSO BE LIMITED OR ELIMINATED IN ARBITRATION. ALL OF THESE JUDICIAL RIGHTS ARE WAIVED WITH RESPECT TO CLAIMS THAT THE PARTIES ELECT TO ARBITRATE.
All claims, findings, and settlements under this “Binding Arbitration” shall be confidential information of Solid. You shall not disclose or reveal to employees, agents, Platform, or other third parties unless such information is already publicly available. Due to the unique nature of the confidential information, monetary damages may be inadequate to compensate us for your violation or threatened violation may cause irreparable injury to us and, in addition to any other remedies that may be available, in law, in equity or otherwise, we shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief against the threatened breach of confidentiality or the continuation of any such breach by you.
18. Other legal terms.
The Terms of Service are governed by the laws of the State of California. You agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the State of California except as detailed in the “Binding Arbitration” Section. If any provision of these Terms of Service is found to be invalid by a competent court, the invalidity of such provisions shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. Likewise, if we choose to terminate any provision in accordance with the termination provision, that termination shall not affect the termination of other provisions.
If we fail to act on or enforce, any provision in the Terms of Service, this shall not be construed as a waiver of that, or any other, provision. We will only grant waivers to specific provisions, for specific instances, in writing. The Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between you and us with respect to this website and supersedes all previous or contemporaneous agreements. The section headings are merely provided for convenience and shall not be given any legal import. You may not assign your rights and obligations under these Terms of Service. The Terms of Service will inure to the benefit of our successors, assignees, licensees, and sublicensees.

Evolve Bank & Trust Electronic Communication Consent
We want to provide you with communications electronically. Certain laws and regulations require us to provide communications to you “in writing,” which means you may be entitled to receive the information on paper. The E-SIGN Act allows us to provide you communications electronically and to conduct transactions with you electronically, with your consent.
Please read this Evolve Bank & Trust Electronic Communication Consent (the “Consent”) carefully prior to providing us with your consent. This Consent describes how we deliver and receive communications to and from you electronically and asks you to consent to use electronic records and signatures in our relationship with you. If you do not agree to this Consent or you later withdraw your consent provided herein, you may not be able to continue to use our services.
Definitions
“We”, “us”, and “our” means Evolve Bank & Trust, its current or future affiliated companies, agents, assignees and service providers.
“You” and “your” mean each applicant, account owner and anyone else with access to the account. If there is more than one owner, then these words mean each account owner separately, and all account owners jointly.
“Communication” means each application, agreement, disclosure, notice, fee schedule, response to claims, statement, privacy policy, record, document and other information related to your account or to any Product, or that you sign, submit or agree to at our request.
“Product” means each and every account, product or service we offer or will offer.
The words “include” and “including,” when used at the beginning of a list of one or more items, indicates that the list contains examples and is not exclusive or exhaustive, and the items in the list are only illustrations.
Scope of Communications to be Provided in Electronic Form.
This Consent applies to all Communications and Products. By applying for or using a Product, you agree that any Communications will be provided in electronic format, to the extent allowed by law, and that paper Communications will not be sent. Your consent to receive electronic Communications and transactions includes, but is not limited to:
▪ All legal and regulatory disclosures and communications associated with the Product;
▪ The Account Terms, including any amendments thereto, and any and all agreements by and between you and us that relate to a Product;
▪ Privacy policies and notices;
▪ Responses to claims filed in connection with a Product;
▪ Statements; and
▪ All other communications between us and your concerning the Product and any related transactions, products or services.
Sometimes the law, or our agreement with you, requires you to give us a written notice. You must still provide these notices to us on paper, unless we specifically tell you in another Communication how you may deliver that notice to us electronically.
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to discontinue the provision of electronic Communications, or to terminate or change the terms and conditions upon which electronic Communications are provided. We will provide you with notice of any such termination or change as required by law.
Method of Providing Communications in Electronic Form.
All Communications that we provide in electronic form will be provided either (1) by e-mail or (2) by access to a website designated in an email notice from us, (3) through the any mobile application we may make available, (4) to the extent permitted by law, by access to a website generally designated in advance for such purpose, or (5) in the manner specified in any other agreement we or our affiliates have with you.
If you seek to obtain a new product, service or account with us, we may remind you that you have already consented to receiving electronic Communications and using electronic signatures in your relationship with us.
Continuing to use our Products after receiving updates to our system requirements signifies your acceptance of the change and reaffirmation of your consent.
Keeping your Records Current.
It is your responsibility to provide us with a true, accurate and complete e-mail address, street address, and other information related to this Consent and a Product, and to maintain and update promptly any changes in this information.

We are not responsible for any delay or failure in the receipt of the Communications if we send the Communications to the last e-mail address you provided to us.

You can obtain a paper copy of an electronic Communication by printing it or by requesting that we mail a paper copy. To request a paper copy, call us at [INSERT NUMBER] during normal business hours, except for national holidays. There may be a fee associated with the request for the delivery of paper copies of any Communication provided electronically pursuant to this Consent.

To withdraw your consent to receive Communications electronically, you must contact us by e-mailing at [INSERT EMAIL ADDRESS].
If you withdraw consent, your access to all Products will be terminated and any account you have with us will be closed and funds will be returned to you in accordance with the account agreement. If you withdraw consent, the legal validity and enforceability of prior Communications delivered in electronic form will not be affected.
Consent
By applying for or using a Product or by checking any call to action (including “I Agree” or similar language), you give us affirmative consent to receive electronic Communications as described herein.
By providing your consent, you are also confirming that you have the hardware and software described above, that you are able to receive and review electronic Communications, and that you have an active email account.
