  3. REPORT OF LOSS / THEFT: I must notify the Bank immediately if my Bank Card(s), or any cheques are lost or stolen, or if there are other circumstances from which one might reasonably infer that a fraud may occur or have occurred in connection with the Account. Subject to any other agreement I may have with the Bank, the Bank will not be liable for any improper withdrawal from the Account if I have not given the Bank immediate notice as required by Clause 3, or if my estate has not given the branch which administers the Account immediate notice of my death.
  4. LIABILITY FOR FORGERY: The Bank will only be liable for a loss due to a forged or unauthorized signature on, or any alteration of a cheque or other payment instrument if I do both of the following:
    1. I notify the Bank of the alleged forgery or alteration in writing and within the time period required by Clause 3 above, and
    2. I prove that I took all reasonable steps to prevent the forged or unauthorized signature or the alteration and the resulting loss, and that despite that fact, the loss was unavoidable;
  5. INDEBTEDNESS: I authorize the Bank to debit the Account for all charges, purchases, advances, instruments, cheques, instructions issued, signed or authorized by me, either in writing, electronically or via the internet and for all applicable fees as set out on the Disclosure Documentation. I also authorize the Bank to debit the Account any other indebtedness I may owe the Bank. I undertake to honour the said liability and agree to pay the Bank the full amount of indebtedness upon applicable due dates or on demand by the Bank.

 

 

  1. OVERDRAFT AND CREDIT LIMIT: The Bank may allow an overdraft in the Account upon my prior written request or for any reason including, but not limited to, as a result of withdrawals, cheques, charges, fees, purchases, advances or otherwise, at its sole discretion. The following apply to this section:

 

    1. If the Bank does allow the Account to become overdrawn, then I must pay the amount by which the Account is overdrawn immediately, upon the Bank’s demand. I authorize the Bank to debit the Account the Bank’s service fee(s) in respect of the overdraft, plus interest on the overdraft amount at the rate in effect from time to time.
    2. The Bank shall set up an Overdraft Limit for the Account. I will not make an Account Withdrawal, which would cause my Overdraft Limit to be exceeded. The Bank has absolutely no obligation to pay an Account Withdrawal that would cause my Indebtedness to exceed my Overdraft Limit or to be further exceeded.
    3. For each calendar month in which an Account is overdrawn, I will pay the Bank the greater of: (i) interest on the indebtedness, calculated in accordance with Clause 9 d; or (ii) The Minimum Charge. If more than one Account is overdrawn in the same calendar month, the greater of interest calculated in accordance with Clause d or the Minimum Charge is payable for each Account.
    4. Interest will be calculated and debited monthly to the Account to which it relates, based on the final daily indebtedness in the Account throughout the calendar month. The rate of interest I will pay is the nominal annual interest rate set by the Bank from time to time in accordance with Clause 10. Interest at the rate set by the Bank will apply both before and after the indebtedness becomes payable, before and after this Agreement is terminated, and before and after judgement is obtained against me.
  1. CHANGES TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE INTEREST RATE OR FEES: Subject to applicable law, the Bank may, from time to time, change the terms of this Agreement (including, but not limited to, applicable interest rates, fees, charges, or overdraft limits). The Bank will give me not less than thirty (30) days’ notice of any such changes (such notification may be through mail, email, postings in the Bank’s branches, in my Account statements, on the Bank’s internet sites, ATM screens, or by other like methods). I may choose to close any of the Accounts under this Agreement without having to pay the Bank amounts in respect of such closure if I prefer not to accept any such changes.
  2. STOP PAYMENTS: If I give the Bank instructions to stop payment of any Instrument, I acknowledge that I will provide the Bank with complete details of the Instrument, and pay the appropriate service charge. The Bank will use its commercially reasonable efforts to stop payment of such instrument. The Bank is only required to stop payment of the Instrument if it exactly matches the details I have provided else, the Bank does not have to reimburse me for the amount of the Instrument. If for any other reason the Instrument is paid, then subject to the terms of this section, the Bank will reimburse me for the amount of the cheque and refund me the service charge unless it represents payment of a just debt due and owing by me. I will review my statements to determine if the instrument has been paid in error and, if so, I will notify the Bank immediately. The Bank will not, however, be required to reimburse me for the amount of the Instrument unless I notify the Bank within the time period specified in Clause 3 of this Agreement. I agree and understand that stop payments cannot be issued by me on the Bank Card transactions.

You hereby waive any right to physical presentment of cheques for payment notwithstanding the provisions of the Bills of Exchange Act (“BEA”).
    4. Any cheque presented in accordance with the aforesaid provision shall be deemed to have been presented at its “proper place” within the meaning of section 45 of the BEA.
    5. For the avoidance of doubt, any payment made upon presentment in accordance with this section shall not be taken to have been made outside the ordinary course of business or in bad faith or negligently solely because it is made upon transmission of an image and the electronic payment information of the cheque rather than the cheque itself.
    6. Where you deposit a cheque to your Account and such cheque is dishonoured by reason of non-payment or otherwise in circumstances where the Bank might otherwise be obliged to return to you the original of any such cheque or other instrument, the Bank is not obliged to return to you any such original and it shall be sufficient that we (subject to such conditions as the Bank may impose) issue to you the Image Return Document (“IRD”), or a certified copy of the original cheque, relating thereto provided always that the Bank may (in its sole discretion and subject to such conditions as the Bank may impose) nevertheless return the aforesaid original in lieu of the relevant IRD or certified copy.
    7. The Bank shall not be obliged to replace any IRD or certified copy of a cheque or other instrument that has been lost or destroyed unless the Bank was, at the time of such destruction or loss, in possession of the IRD, certified copy of the cheque or other instrument.
    8. Subject to any conditions which the Bank may impose from time to time, where a cheque has been dishonoured, the IRD or certified copy of the cheque that was returned to you may be re-presented to the Bank for payment. The Bank reserves the right to reject any IRD or certified copy of a cheque that is altered, mutilated or torn. i. The Bank shall be entitled to:
    9. honour and make payment on any cheque, IRD or certified copy of a cheque or other instrument presented for clearing which is presented in accordance with the BACH System Rules or other rules governing the operations of the automated clearing system or any agreement between the participating banks and/or any cheque or other instrument presented for clearing which is presented in accordance with any applicable legislation, and ii. debit any Account or require you to reimburse the amount paid in respect of such cheque, IRD or certified copy of cheque or other instrument.
    10. Where the Bank has paid on any cheque or other instrument as aforesaid drawn or purportedly drawn by you (and/or on the image and relevant electronic payment information in respect thereto):
      1. The Bank is not obliged to return to you the original of any such cheque or other instrument and it shall be sufficient (when so requested by you and subject to such conditions as the Bank may impose) that the Bank issues to you the electronic image of such cheque or other instrument or a printed or electronic copy thereof; ii. you consent to the retention and storage of the aforesaid original by the relevant presenting bank and/or the designated agent of such presenting bank and to the destruction of the aforesaid within such period as is allowed by the BACH System Rules or other rules governing the operations of the automated clearing system or any agreement between the participating banks or any relevant statute of The Bahamas; and iii. you consent to the retention and storage of the electronic data and/or image in respect of the aforesaid original arising from the automated clearing house process in accordance with (and, unless the Bank otherwise determines acting in its discretion and subject to such conditions as the Bank may impose, only for so long as the retention period specified in or pursuant to) any rules and/or regulations of the BACH and to the destruction of the aforesaid electronic data and/or image upon the expiry of the retention period so specified without the Bank retaining a copy in any form or medium; Provided always that the Bank may (acting at its discretion and subject to such conditions as the Bank may impose and/or the relevant rules and/or regulations of the BACH) nevertheless return the aforesaid original in lieu of the relevant electronic image or a printed or electronic copy thereof.
    11. The Bank is entitled to disregard the presence or absence of any company or personal stamp(s), seal(s) and/or similar marking(s) on:
      1. any cheque (including but not limited to, a cheque which under the BEA or otherwise is not transferable) or other instrument (including, but not limited to, an instrument to which the BEA applies) drawn or purportedly drawn by you; or ii. the image and/or relevant electronic payment information in respect of any such cheque or other instrument as aforesaid, even though you may have issued us contrary instructions, or the mandate for the Account may contain contrary instructions.
    12. The Bank shall not be liable to you (or any third party claiming through you) for any loss or damage (including but not limited to consequential loss or damage) suffered, howsoever caused, arising in connection with its clearing of cheques and other instruments through the automated clearing house including, but not limited to, the acts or omissions of any person or entity and/or any error caused by machine or hardware malfunctions or manufacturer’s operating software defects unless it is caused solely and exclusively by the negligence or fraudulent or dishonest act of the Bank or its officers or employees.
    13. The Bank has absolute discretion (without incurring any liability to you) to determine whether to process through the BACH and/or any other clearing and/or settlement system as the Bank thinks fit any article, document or item including, but not limited to, cheques and other instruments (including, but not limited to, an instrument to which the BEA applies).
  1. Any reference in these Terms and Conditions to cheques and/or other instruments shall, where the context requires, include a reference to an IRD, or a certified copy of the cheque or instrument.

 

  • You agree that any IRD or any other image transmitted or retained in electronic form may be admitted in evidence as an original document and agree that you will not challenge the admissibility of any such IRD or electronic image on the grounds only that it is made or recorded in electronic form.
  1. ACCOUNT CLOSURE and TERMINATION: The Bank reserves the right to close any Account upon giving thirty (30) days’ written notice. At any time after the expiration of the notice period, the Bank shall forward by registered mail to the Account holder’s last recorded mailing address, a cheque representing the balance on the Account, if any, as at the date of closing. Any items(s) or instrument(s) drawn or presented for payment or deposit after such closure will be declined by the Bank and these item(s) or instrument(s) will be returned to the Account holder. The Bank shall not be liable for any damages arising out of the dishonouring or returning of such item(s) to you. You agree to fully indemnify the Bank against any third party claim(s) that may arise out of any such return or dishonour. In the event of Account closure due to inactivity, the Bank will, in accordance with the regulations of the jurisdiction in which this Agreement is signed, transfer the balance of this Account to the relevant authority after the period of inactivity specified in those regulations. In this event, I undertake to promptly return the Bank’s property (as detailed in Clause 16 above) and pay to the Bank all my dues and indebtedness (as stated in Clause 8 above).
  2. JOINT TENANCY: Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all money which is now or may later be credited to the Account (including, but not limited to, all interest) is joint property with the right of survivorship. That means that if one of you dies, all money in the Account automatically becomes the property of the other accountholder(s).
