Mobile Deposit Terms and Conditions

These Mobile Deposit Terms and Conditions between Customer and The Bank of The West (“Bank”) contain the terms and conditions governing the use of the mobile banking and mobile deposit capture service Bank may provide to Customer.

All agreements with The Bank of The West shall be governed by the laws of the State of Oklahoma, except where superseded by Federal Law.

  1. Services. The mobile banking and mobile deposit services (“Services”) are designed to allow Customer to view activity, transfer money, pay bills via online bill pay and make deposits into specified accounts that are eligible to receive mobile check deposits (“Mobile Accounts”), by converting checks into an image by taking pictures of checks and delivering the images and associated deposit information to Bank via the Bank’s Mobile App (“The App”) installed on your supported mobile device. The App is considered part of the Service. Mobile Deposit Service is made available to customer at the sole discretion of Bank and may not be available to all customers.

Any such software is accepted by Customer as is and is subject to the terms and conditions of the software agreement entered into directly with the third party software provider at time of download and installation.
  4. Limitations. When using the Service, Customer may experience technical or other difficulties. Bank does not assume responsibility for any such difficulty or any resulting damages that Customer may incur. For security reasons, the Service has qualification requirements, and Bank reserves the right to change the qualifications at any time without prior notice. Bank reserves the right to change, suspend or discontinue the Service, in whole or in part, or Customer’s use of the Service, in whole or in part, immediately and at any time without prior notice to Customer. Bank reserves the right to limit the number of Mobile Devices through which Customer may access the Service. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, deposits made through the Service are subject to all limitations and terms set forth in the relevant deposit agreement governing your Mobile Account as it may be modified from time to time, including, but not limited to, those related to deposit acceptance, crediting, collection, endorsement, processing order and errors.
  5. Eligible Checks and Items. Customer agrees to scan and deposit only “checks” as the term is defined in Federal Reserve Regulation CC (“Reg CC”) and only those checks that are permissible under this Agreement or such other items as the Bank, in our sole discretion, elect to include under the Service.
    Customer authorizes Bank to process any image that Customer sends to Bank or converts any image to an Image Replacement Document for subsequent presentment and collection, it shall thereafter be deemed an “item” within the meaning of Articles 3 and 4 of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code. Customer agrees that the Service will not be used to scan and deposit any checks or other items as shown below:

    • Checks payable to any person or entity other than the person or entity that owns the account that the check is being deposited into;

    • Checks or items previously converted to a substitute check, as defined in Reg CC;
    • Checks or items drawn on a Bank located outside the United States;
    • Checks or items that are remotely created checks, as defined in Reg CC, and checks that have previously been submitted through the Service or through a remote deposit capture service offered at any other financial institution;

    • Money orders;
    • Traveler’s Checks;
    • Insurance drafts;
    • Credit card cash advance checks;

      Nothing in this Agreement should be construed as requiring Bank to accept any check or item for deposit, even if Bank has accepted that type of check or item previously. Nor shall Bank be required to identify or reject any checks or items that Customer may scan and deposit that fail to meet the requirements of this Agreement.
  6. Security of the Mobile Device and Account Information. Customer is responsible for: (i) maintaining the confidentiality and security of your Mobile Device(s), access number(s), password(s), security question(s) and answer(s), account number(s), login information, and any other security or access information, used by Customer to access the Service (collectively, “Access Information”); and (ii) preventing unauthorized access to or use of the information, files or data that Customer stores, transmits or uses in or with the Service (collectively “Account Information”). Customer agrees not to supply the Access Information to anyone. Customer will be responsible for all electronic communications, including image transmissions, email and other data (“Communications”) entered using the Access Information. Any Communications received through the use of the Access Information will be deemed to be sent or authorized by Customer. Customer agrees to immediately notify Bank upon becoming aware of any loss, theft or unauthorized use of any Access Information, including Customer’s mobile device. Bank reserves the right to deny access to the Service (or any part thereof) if Bank believes that any loss, theft or unauthorized use of Access Information has occurred.
  7. Image Quality. Customer is responsible for the image quality of any check or item that is transmitted. The image of a check or item transmitted to Bank using the Service must be legible. The image quality of the checks and items must comply with the standards established from time to time by any clearing house used by Bank, the agreement Bank has with respect to processing checks or items, or any higher standard set by Bank. Customer agrees that Bank shall not be liable for any damages resulting from a check or item’s poor image quality, including those related to rejection of or the delayed or improper crediting of such a check or item, or from any inaccurate information Customer supplied regarding the check or item.
  8. Endorsements and Procedures. After transmission, it is recommended that Customer marks “deposited – mobile” across the front of the check. Customer agrees to follow any and all other procedures and instructions for use of the Service as Bank may establish from time to time.

  9. Receipt of Checks and Items. Bank reserves the right to reject any check or item transmitted through the Service, at Bank’s discretion, without liability to Customer. Bank is not responsible for checks or items Bank did not receive in accordance with this Agreement or for images that are dropped or damaged during transmission. An image of a check or item shall be deemed received when Customer receives a confirmation from Bank that the image has been received. Receipt of such confirmation does not mean that the transmission was error free, able to be processed or complete or that funds will be credited for that check or item. Items submitted and received through mobile capture will not be processed until they have passed automatic or manual review processes as determined necessary by the bank.
  10. Availability of Funds. Customer agrees that the items transmitted using the Services are not subject to the funds availability requirements of Federal Reserve Board Regulation CC. Customer also agrees that the items are not subject to the dispute resolution process or requirements established under the Electronic Funds Transfer Act or its implementing regulation, Regulation E. In general, if an image of an item you transmit through the Service is received and accepted before our cut-off time for the Services, Bank considers that business day to be the day of your deposit. Otherwise, Bank will consider that the deposit was made on the next business day. The cut-off time for the Services are disclosed to Customer at the time an image is transmitted through the Service. Bank will make funds available for checks and items received, accepted, and successfully processed through the Service according to our standard funds availability policy.
  11. Disposal of Transmitted Checks and Items. Upon Customer’s receipt of confirmation from Bank that the image that was transmitted has been received, Customer agrees to retain the check for 14 business days from the date of the image transmission. After 14 days, Customer agrees to destroy the check that was transmitted as an image, mark it “VOID” on the front of the check, or otherwise render it incapable of further transmission, deposit or presentment. During the time the check is available, Customer agrees to promptly provide it to Bank upon request.
  12. Deposit Limits. Bank reserves the right to impose limits on the amount(s) and/or number of deposits (over a period of time set by Bank) that Customer transmits using the Service and to modify such limits from time to time. If Customer attempts to initiate a deposit in excess of these limits, Bank may reject the deposit. If Bank permits Customer to make a deposit in excess of these limits, such deposit will be subject to the terms of this Agreement and Bank will not be obligated to allow such a deposit at other times.
  13. Presentment. The manner in which the checks and items are cleared or presented for payment, and collected shall be in Bank’s sole discretion as set forth in the relevant deposit account agreement governing your Mobile Account.
  14. Representations and Warranties; Indemnity. Customer warrants to Bank that:

  15. Changes to the Service. Bank reserves the right to terminate, modify, add or remove features from the Service at any time in Bank’s sole discretion. Customer may reject changes by discontinuing use of the Service. Customer’s continued use of the Service will constitute acceptance of and agreement to such changes. Maintenance to the Service may be performed from time to time resulting in interrupted service, delays, or errors in the Service, and Bank shall have no liability for any such interruptions, delays or errors. Attempts to provide prior notice of scheduled maintenance will be made, but Bank cannot guarantee that such notice will be provided.
  16. Use of Your Geolocation. When Customer is submitting an image for processing through the Services, Bank reserves the right to, at our discretion, use the Customer’s Mobile Device’s capabilities to obtain a geolocation for fraud prevention services. Bank may choose to capture either Customer’s current location or the last location stored on the Mobile Device.
  17. Fees. Customer is responsible for paying the fees for use of the Services as Bank may charge from time to time. Bank may change the fees for the Services at any time. Customer authorizes Bank to deduct any such fees from any account in Customer’s name. In addition, data charges from Customer’s mobile carrier may apply.

CardValet Agreement and Terms of Use

THIS IS A LEGAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND THE FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT ISSUED YOU THE PAYMENT CARD THAT YOU REGISTER WITHIN THIS APPLICATION (“Financial Institution”), stating the terms and conditions that govern your use of the CardValet mobile application (the “App”) and the associated CardValet services (the “Services”). This agreement, together with all updates, additional terms, software licenses, the Privacy Policy and all of Financial Institution’s related rules and policies, collectively constitute the "Agreement" between you and Financial Institution. By downloading or using the App, you are indicating that you agree to the Agreement. If you do not agree to these terms, do not download or use the App. You must accept and abide by these terms as presented to you -- changes, additions, or deletions are not acceptable, and Financial Institution may refuse access to the App or the Services for noncompliance with any part of this Agreement.

You may owe fees for use of the App or the Services. Check with Financial Institution for applicable rates.

The alerts and controls you set through use of the App or the Services may continue to apply, and you may continue to be charged for them, even if you delete the App or remove it from your mobile device. Please contact Financial Institution to discontinue the alerts and controls.

Certain functionality within the App and the Services may not be available for all transactions. Controls and alerts based on the location of the mobile device where the App is installed or the location of the merchant where the card is being attempted for use may not apply appropriately to card-not-present transactions or transactions where the location of actual location of the merchant differs from the merchant’s registered address.
Financial Institution may amend this Agreement at any time by posting a revised version here or on a website of the Financial Institution. You may be required to affirmatively accept the revised Agreement in order to continue using the Services or the App. The revised version will be effective at the time it is posted unless a delayed effective date is expressly stated in the revision. Any use of the App or the Services after a notice of change or after the posting of a revised version of this Agreement will constitute your agreement to such changes and revised version. Further, Financial Institution may, from time to time, revise, update, upgrade or enhance the App, the Service and/or related applications or material, which may render all such prior versions obsolete. Consequently, we reserve the right to terminate this Agreement as to all such prior versions of the App, the Service, and/or related applications and material, and limit access to only the App or the Service’s more recent revisions, updates, upgrades or enhancements.

The App is licensed, not sold, to you for use only under the terms of this Agreement. All rights not expressly granted to you are reserved.

This license granted to you for the App is non-transferable and non-exclusive. You may only use the App on an approved mobile device that you own. You may not distribute or make the App available over a network where it could be used by multiple devices at the same time. You are not permitted to transfer the App in any form. You may not copy (except as expressly permitted by this Agreement), decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, attempt to derive the source code of, modify, or create derivative works of the App, or any updates or parts of updates thereto, except with respect to any open source elements included with this App. If you breach these restrictions, you may be subject to prosecution and the award of damages. The terms of this Agreement will also govern any upgrades or modifications that replace or supplement the version of the App you downloaded originally, unless such upgrade is accompanied by a separate agreement, in which case the terms of that agreement will govern.

By using the App, you acknowledge and accept that Financial Institution may collect and use technical data and related information, including but not limited to technical information about your device, system and application software, and peripherals, that is gathered periodically to facilitate the provision of software updates, product support and other services to you (if any) related to the App. Financial Institution may use this information to improve its products or to provide services or technologies to you. You also understand that full use of this App requires you to have an account with Financial Institution and that personally identifiable information may be collected by Financial Institution in conjunction with your transactions, consistent with federal law and the Financial Institution privacy policy.

The license is effective until terminated by Financial Institution, which it may do at any time, with or without notice. Once this license is terminated, you will no longer be entitled to use the App, and you shall then cease all use of the App and destroy any legally made copies or portions thereof, of the Licensed Application.

The App may enable access to Financial Institution and third parties’ services and web sites, including GPS locator websites, such as Google’s. Use of such services may require Internet access and that you accept additional terms and conditions applicable thereto.

To the extent this App allows you to access third party services, Financial Institution, and those third parties, as applicable, reserve the right to change, suspend, remove, or disable access to any of those services at any time without notice. In no event will Financial Institution be liable for the removal of or disabling of access to any such services. Financial Institution may also impose limits on the use of or access to certain services, in any case and without notice or liability.

THE APP, THE SERVICES AND RELATED DOCUMENTATION ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON- INFRINGEMENT. IN PARTICULAR, FINANCIAL INSTITUTION DOES NOT GUARANTEE CONTINUOUS, UNINTERRUPTED OR SECURE ACCESS TO ANY PART OF OUR SERVICE, AND OPERATION OF THE APP OR THE SERVICES MAY BE INTERFERED WITH BY NUMEROUS FACTORS OUTSIDE OF OUR CONTROL. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE DISCLAIMER OF CERTAIN IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE FOREGOING DISCLAIMERS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU TO THE EXTENT THEY ARE PROHIBITED BY STATE LAW.

Limitation of Liability

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT FROM TIME TO TIME, THE APP AND THE SERVICES MAY BE DELAYED, INTERRUPTED OR DISRUPTED FOR AN INDETERMINATE AMOUNT OF TIME DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND FINANCIAL INSTITUTION’S REASONABLE CONTROL, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY INTERRUPTION, DISRUPTION OR FAILURE IN THE PROVISION OF THE SERVICES, WHETHER CAUSED BY STRIKES, POWER FAILURES, EQUIPMENT MALFUNCTIONS, INTERNET DISRUPTION OR OTHER REASONS.

THESE LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY TO ALL CAUSES OF ACTION, WHETHER ARISING FROM BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY. FINANCIAL INSTITUTION’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY, AND THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF ITS AFFILIATES AND LICENSORS AND CONTRACTORS AND THE EMPLOYEES AND CONTRACTORS OF EACH OF THESE, TO YOU AND ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS OR OBLIGATIONS RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE LIMITED TO DIRECT OUT OF POCKET DAMAGES UP TO A MAXIMUM OF $500 (FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS). SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

You may not use or otherwise export or re-export the App except as authorized by United States law and the laws of the jurisdiction in which the App was obtained. In particular, but without limitation, the App may not be exported or re-exported (a) into any U.S. embargoed countries or (b) to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Department of Commerce Denied Person's List or Entity List. By using the App, you represent and warrant that you are not located in any such country or on any such list.

Consistent with 48 C.F.R. §12.212 or 48 C.F.R. §227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4, as applicable, the Commercial Computer Software and Commercial Computer Software Documentation are being licensed to U.S. Government end users (a) only as Commercial Items and (b) with only those rights as are granted to all other end users pursuant to the terms and conditions herein.

You may not transfer or assign any rights or obligations you have under this Agreement without Financial Institution’s prior written consent, which it may withhold in its sole discretion. Financial Institution reserves the right to transfer or assign this Agreement or any right or obligation under this Agreement at any time to any party. Financial Institution may also assign or delegate certain of its rights and responsibilities under this Agreement to affiliates, independent contractors or other third parties.

If Financial Institution has reason to believe that you have engaged in any of the prohibited or unauthorized activities described in this Agreement or have otherwise breached your obligations under this Agreement, it may: terminate, suspend or limit your access to or use of the App or the Services; notify law enforcement, regulatory authorities, impacted third parties, and others as it deems appropriate; refuse to provide the Services to you in the future; and/or take legal action against you. In addition, Financial Institution, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to terminate this Agreement, and access to or use of the Services for any reason or no reason and at any time. These remedies are cumulative and are in addition to the other rights and remedies available to Financial Institution under this Agreement, by law or otherwise.

In the event of a dispute regarding the App or the Services, you agree that it will be resolved by looking to this Agreement. For any claim (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) where the total amount of the award sought is less than $10,000.00 USD, the party requesting relief may elect to resolve the dispute in a cost effective manner through binding non-appearance-based arbitration. If a party elects arbitration, that party will initiate such arbitration through Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”), the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), or another established alternative dispute resolution (ADR) administrator mutually agreed upon by the parties. The parties agree that that the following rules shall apply: (a) the arbitration may be conducted telephonically, online and/or be solely based on written submissions, at the election of the party initiating the arbitration; (b) the arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties, their representatives or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties; (c) discovery shall not be permitted; (d) the matter shall be submitted for decision within ninety (90) days of initiation of arbitration, unless otherwise agreed by the parties, and the arbitrator must render a decision within thirty (30) days of submission; and (e) any award in such arbitration shall be final and binding upon the parties, and it may be submitted to any court of competent jurisdiction for confirmation. The parties acknowledge that remedies available under federal, state and local laws remain available through arbitration. NO CLASS ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR JOINDER OR CONSOLIDATION OF ANY CLAIM WITH A CLAIM OF ANOTHER PERSON SHALL BE ALLOWABLE IN ARBITRATION.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to conflicts of laws provisions of Georgia or any other state. To the extent that the terms of this Agreement conflict with applicable state or federal law, such state or federal law shall replace such conflicting terms only to the extent required by law. Unless expressly stated otherwise, all other terms of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. You agree that any claim or dispute you may have against us (other than those which are arbitrated in compliance with this Agreement) must be resolved by a court located in Gwinnett County, Georgia. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of litigating all claims or disputes unless said claim is submitted to arbitration under this Agreement. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this Agreement. Both parties agree to waive any right to have a jury participate in the resolution of any dispute or claim between the parties or any of their respective affiliates arising under this Agreement.

You shall indemnify and hold harmless Financial Institution and its affiliates and their licensors, contractors, and business partners and their affiliates and the employees and contractors of each of these, from any loss, damage, claim or demand (including attorney's fees) made or incurred by any third party due to or arising out of your breach of this Agreement or your use of the App or the Services. You hereby release Financial Institution and its affiliates and their licensors, contractors, and business partners, and their affiliates, and the employees and contractors of each of these, from any and all claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature arising out of or in any way connected with any dispute that may arise between you and one or more other users of the App or the Services. In addition, you waive California Civil Code §1542, which states that a general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if not known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.

Financial Institution shall not be deemed to have waived any rights or remedies hereunder unless such waiver is in writing and signed by one of our authorized representatives. No delay or omission on Financial Institution’s part in exercising any rights or remedies shall operate as a waiver of such rights or remedies or any other rights or remedies. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar or waiver of any rights or remedies on future occasions.

You agree that this Agreement is the complete and exclusive statement of the agreement between you and the Financial Institutions with respect to the subject matter covered herein, sets forth the entire understanding between Financial Institution and you with respect to the App, the Services, and the website through which the App or the Services are offered, and supersedes any proposal or prior agreement, oral or written, and any other communications between you and Financial Institution. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be struck and the remaining provisions shall be enforced. The captions of sections hereof are for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Any terms which by their nature should survive, will survive the termination of this Agreement. If there is a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and something stated by an employee or contractor of ours (including but not limited to its customer care personnel), the terms of this Agreement will prevail.
