23. Conflict/Disputes Involving Your Account

We are not liable to you for errors that do not result in financial loss to you. We may take any action authorized or permitted by this Agreement without being liable to you, even if such action causes you to incur fees, expenses or damages.

You are liable for all expenses and fees we incur for such conflicts or disputes, including internal costs and attorneys’ fees, and we may charge them to your account.

Regardless of the terms of such attachment, garnishment, levy or other state or federal process, we have first claim to all funds in your account. We will not contest on your behalf any such legal process and may take action to comply with such legal process as we determine to be appropriate in the circumstances without liability to you, even if the legal process purports to affect the interest of only one owner of a joint account and even if any funds we may be required to pay out leaves insufficient funds to pay a transaction you have authorized. If we incur any expenses, including without limitation, reasonable attorney fees, in connection with any such legal process, we may charge any expenses and fees to your account or any other account you may have with us without prior notice to you, or we may bill you directly for such expenses and fees. Any garnishment or other levy against your account is subject to our right of setoff and security interest.


25. Setoff and Security Interest Rights

These rights are in addition to other rights we have to take or charge funds in your account for obligations you owe us.

We may consider this Agreement as your consent to FV Bank asserting its security interest or exercising its right of setoff should any laws governing your account require your consent. If the law restricts our ability to take or setoff funds in your account, or if some government payments are protected from attachment, levy or legal process, to the extent that you may do so by contract, you waive those conditions and limits and authorize us to apply funds in any or all of your accounts with us, our parents, affiliates or subsidiaries to obligations you owe us.

Exercising these rights may result in early withdrawal penalties or may cause us to dishonor items should our action result in non-sufficient funds in your account.

In the case of a joint account, Business Account with joint owners/authorized users we may exercise these rights against the account and all owners.
