collected from you. The aforesaid amounts will be charged as set

and/or trade dress or those of our licensors. You may not copy, imitate, or
use any of the above without our prior written consent, which we may
withhold in our sole discretion, and you may not use them in a manner that
is disparaging to us or the Service or display them in any manner that
implies our sponsorship or endorsement. All right, title and interest in and
to the Service, the portion of the Site through which the Service is
offered, the technology related to the Site and Service, and any and all
technology and any content created or derived from any of the foregoing, is
our exclusive property or that of our licensors. Moreover, any suggestions,
ideas, notes, drawings, concepts, or other information you may send to us
through or regarding the Site or Service shall be considered an
uncompensated contribution of intellectual property to us and our licensors,
shall also be deemed our and our licensors’ exclusive intellectual property,
and shall not be subject to any obligation of confidentiality on our part.
By submitting any such materials to us, you automatically grant (or warrant
that the owner of such materials has expressly granted) to us and our
licensors a perpetual, royalty-free, irrevocable, non-exclusive right and
license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, publicly
perform and display, create derivative works from and distribute such
materials or incorporate such materials into any form, medium, or technology
now known or later developed, and you warrant that all so-called "moral
rights" in those materials have been waived, and you warrant that you have
the right to make these warranties and transfers of rights.
- Links and Frames. Links to other sites
may be provided on the portion of the Site through which the Service is
offered for your convenience. By providing these links, we are not
endorsing, sponsoring or recommending such sites or the materials
disseminated by or services provided by them, and are not responsible for
the materials, services or other situations at or related to or from any
other site, and make no representations concerning the content of sites
listed in any of the Service web pages. Consequently, we cannot be held
responsible for the accuracy, relevancy, copyright compliance, legality or
decency of material contained in sites listed in any search results or
otherwise linked to the Site. For example, if you "click" on a banner
advertisement or a search result, your "click" may take you off the Site.
This may include links from advertisers, sponsors, and content partners that
may use our logo(s) as part of a co-branding agreement. These other sites
may send their own cookies to users, collect data, solicit personal
information, or contain information that you may find inappropriate or
offensive. In addition, advertisers on the Site may send cookies to users
that we do not control. You may link to the home page of our Site. However,
you may not link to other pages of our Site without our express written
permission. You also may not "frame" material on our Site without our
express written permission. We reserve the right to disable links from any
third party sites to the Site.
- Password and Security. If you are issued

to give or make available your password or access credentials to any
unauthorized individuals, and you agree to be responsible for all actions
taken by anyone to whom you have provided such access credentials. If you

consent, you must inform us at once at the telephone number provided in
Error Resolution section above.

We may implement out-of-band authentication as a security procedure for certain Services. Out-of-band authentication is a type of two-factor authentication which requires a secondary verification method through a separate communication channel. This additional level of authentication validates the user to prevent fraud even if an unauthorized user obtains your credentials. In order to use out-of-band authentication, you may be required to have a compatible telephone (including a mobile phone) and to provide us your telephone number so that we may send authentication challenges to your telephone.

agreed by the parties, and the arbitrator must render a decision within

Att: Customer Service
or e-mail us at customerservice@flushingbank.com as soon as you can, 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 sent the FIRST statement on which the problem or error appeared.
- Tell us your name and Account number (if any).
- Describe the error or the 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.
- 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 Account within 10 business days for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have the 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 Account. For errors involving new accounts, point-of-sale, or foreign-initiated transactions, we may take up to 90 days to investigate your complaint or question. For new accounts, we may take up to 20 business days to credit your 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.
Liability for Unauthorized Transactions and Advisability of Prompt Reporting. Please tell us AT ONCE if you believe your Online Banking Account number or your Password has been lost or stolen. Notifying us by telephone as soon as possible is the best way of limiting your losses. You could lose all of the funds in your Account(s) plus your maximum overdraft line of credit.
- If you believe that someone has made or may make an Online Banking transaction to or from your Account(s) without your permission, call 800.581.2889 or write to Silver Gates Capital’s Customer Service Solutions Center at the Silver Gates Capital Business Address. Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible losses to a minimum.
- If your online Password has been compromised and you tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss or theft, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your online Password without your permission to access a Bank Deposit Account. If you do NOT tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss or theft, and we could have stopped someone from taking money without your permission had you told us, you could lose as much as $500.
- Also, if your statement shows withdrawals, transfers or purchases that you did not make or authorize, please notify us at once. If you do not notify us within sixty (60) days after the paper or online statement was sent to you, and we could have stopped someone from taking money if you had told us in time, you may not get back any money you lost after the sixty (60) days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money if you had told us in time. If a good reason (such as a long trip or hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods.

next business day we are open. Funds deposited using the Service will
generally be made available within two business days from the day of
deposit including on-us checks drawn on
Silver Gates Capital. Silver Gates Capital

worthiness, the length and extent of your relationship with us, transaction
and experience information, and such other factors as

transmitted, you
agree to retain the check for at least 14 calendar days from the date of the
image transmission. Checks must be secured during this timeframe until they
are destroyed. After 14 days, you agree to destroy the check that you
transmitted as an image, mark it "VOID", or otherwise render it incapable of
further transmission, deposit, or presentment. During the time the retained
check is available, you agree to promptly provide it to
Silver Gates Capital upon
request.

of items or deposits from time to time. If you attempt to initiate a deposit

Receiving Money; Money Transfers by Network Banks
Once a User initiates a transfer of money to your email address or mobile phone number enrolled with the Service, you have no ability to stop the transfer. By using the Service, you agree and authorize us to initiate credit entries to the bank account you have enrolled.
Most transfers of money to you from other Users will occur within minutes. There may be other circumstances when the payment may take longer. For example, in order to protect you, us, Zelle and the other Network Banks, we may need or Zelle may need additional time to verify your identity or the identity of the person sending the money. We may also delay or block the transfer to prevent fraud or to meet our regulatory obligations. If we delay or block a payment that you have initiated through a request for money, we will notify you in accordance with your User preferences (i.e. email, push notification).
If you are receiving a payment from a business or government agency, your payment will be delivered in accordance with both this Agreement and the procedures of the business or government agency that is sending you the payment.
-
Sending Money; Debits by Network Banks
You may send money to another User at your initiation or in response to that User’s request for money. You understand that use of this Service by you shall at all times be subject to (i) this Agreement, and (ii) your express authorization at the time of the transaction for us to initiate a debit entry to your bank account. You understand that when you send the payment, you will have no ability to stop it. You may only cancel a payment if the person to whom you sent the money has not yet enrolled in the Service. If the person you sent money to has already enrolled with Zelle, either in the Zelle mobile app or with a Network Bank, the money is sent directly to their bank account (except as otherwise provided below) and may not be canceled or revoked.
In most cases, when you are sending money to another User, the transfer will occur in minutes; however, there are circumstances when the payment may take longer. For example, in order to protect you, us, Zelle and the other Network Banks, we may need additional time to verify your identity or the identity of the person receiving the money. If you are sending money to someone who has not enrolled as a User with Zelle, either in the Zelle mobile app or with a Network Bank, they will receive a text or email notification instructing them on how to enroll to receive the money. You understand and acknowledge that a person to whom you are sending money and who is not enrolling as a User may fail to enroll with Zelle, or otherwise ignore the payment notification, and the transfer may not occur.
The money may also be delayed or the transfer may be blocked to prevent fraud or comply with regulatory requirements. If we delay or block a payment that you have initiated, we will notify you in accordance with your User preferences (i.e. email, push notification).
We have no control over the actions of other Users, other Network Banks or other financial institutions that could delay or prevent your money from being delivered to the intended User.
-
Liability
Neither we nor Zelle shall have liability to you for any transfers of money, including without limitation, (i) any failure, through no fault of us or Zelle to complete a transaction in the correct amount, or (ii) any related losses or damages.

Neither we nor Zelle accept responsibility if the other User rejects or ignores your request, or sends you an amount that is less than you request. If a User ignores your request, we may decide or Zelle may decide, in our sole discretion, that we will not send a reminder or repeat request to that User.
By accepting this Agreement, you agree that you are not engaging in the business of debt collection by attempting to use the Service to request money for the payment or collection of an overdue or delinquent debt; to request money that is owed to another person; or to collect any amounts that are owed pursuant to a court order.

You agree to receive money requests from other Users, and to only send requests for legitimate and lawful purposes. Requests for money are solely between the sender and recipient and are not reviewed or verified by us or by Zelle. Neither we nor Zelle assume responsibility for the accuracy or legality of such requests and do not act as a debt collector on your behalf or on behalf of the sender of a request for money.
We reserve the right, but assume no obligation, to terminate your ability to send requests for money in general, or to specific recipients, if we deem such requests to be potentially unlawful, abusive, offensive or unwelcome by the recipient.

If you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after the statement was sent to you, you may lose any amount transferred without your authorization after the sixty (60) days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money had you told us in time.
