You agree to keep us informed of your current address at all times. Notice from us to any one of you is notice to all of you. If we have notified you of a change in any term of your account and you continue to have your Account after the effective date of the change, you have agreed to the new term(s).
You agree that we may at any time assign our rights and obligations under this Agreement to any assignee and in such event this Agreement will remain in full force. This Account may not be transferred or assigned by you without our prior written consent.
-
7. Entire Agreement
This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding and agreement between you and us, whether written or oral, with respect to its subject matter and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous understandings or agreements with respect to their subject matter.
-
8. Severability

10. Conflicting or Unclear Instructions
If we receive conflicting instructions from you and GiftFly, we will follow your instruction. If we are uncertain regarding the ownership of Special Purpose Account funds, your identity, or the authority of any person to give Special Purpose Account instructions, or if we believe that a Special Purpose Account transaction may be fraudulent or may violate any law, or if the instructions we receive appear, in our sole discretion, to be unclear in any way, we may: (i) freeze your Special Purpose Account and refuse any further transactions until we receive written proof, in form and substance satisfactory to us, of each person’s right and authority over the Special Purpose Account funds, (ii) refuse the transaction in question; (iii) require your signature for the transaction in question; (iv) request instruction from a court of competent jurisdiction; or (v) continue to honor previous instructions received from you (directly or through GiftFly) pending confirmation or clarification. We are not obligated to assert such rights or to notify you or GiftFly in advance of exercising such rights.
-
11. ACH and Wire Transfers
This agreement is subject to Article 4A of the Uniform Commercial Code - Fund Transfers as adopted in the state in which you have your Account with us. If you originate a fund transfer for which Fedwire is used, and you identify by name and number a beneficiary financial institution, an intermediary financial institution or a beneficiary, we and every receiving or beneficiary financial institution may rely on the identifying number to make payment. We may rely on the number even if it identifies a financial institution, person or account other than the one named.
You agree to be bound by automated clearing house association rules. These rules provide, among other things, that payments originated by you, are provisional until final settlement is made through a Federal Reserve Bank or payment is otherwise made as provided in Article 4A-403(a) of the Uniform Commercial Code. If we do not receive such payment, we are entitled to a refund from you in the amount credited to your account and the party originating such payment will not be considered to have paid the amount so credited. If we receive a payment order to credit an account you have with us by wire or ACH, we are not required to give you any notice of the payment order or credit.
-
12. Crediting and Payment Holds
If you have arranged to have direct deposits made to your Special Purpose Account at least once every 60 days from the same person or company, we will credit the amount of the transfer as of the date the funds for the transfer are received. Funds that are deposited to your Special Purpose Account by debit entry from your Primary Account may be subject to a hold of up to six (6) days to ensure good funds. A deposit credit is only temporary and is subject to potential reversal until final payment is confirmed. If we give you provisional credit for an automated clearing house (ACH) transfer, but do not receive final payment, you agree to pay us the full amount by other means without prior notice or demand.
-
13. Unauthorized Transfers
Tell us at once if your statement shows transfers that you did not make by writing us at www.giftfly.com/info. If you do not tell us within 60 days after the first transfer, 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 if you had told us in time. If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods.
-
14. Postdated Checks, Restricted Endorsement Checks and Other Disputed or Qualified Payments
We can accept postdated deposit checks without losing any of our rights under this agreement. (A postdated check is a check dated later than the day it was actually presented for deposit.) We are under no obligation to hold a postdated check and we reserve the right to process every item presented as if dated the same date received by us or our check processor unless you give us adequate notice and a reasonable opportunity to act on it. Except where such notice and opportunity is given, you may not hold us liable for depositing any postdated check. You agree not to send us checks marked “paid in full,” “without recourse,” or similar language. If you send such a check, we may accept it without losing any of our rights under this agreement. All notices and written communications concerning postdated checks, restricted endorsement checks (including any check or other payment instrument that indicates that the payment constitutes “payment in full” of the amount owed or that is tendered with other conditions or limitations or as full satisfaction of a disputed amount) or any other disputed, nonconforming or check, must be mailed or delivered to: BancBox Customer Disputes, P.O. Box 25539, San Mateo, CA. 94402.
-
15. Our Liability
If we do not complete a transfer to or from your account on time or in the correct amount according to our agreement with you, we will be liable for your losses or damages. However, there are some exceptions. We will not be liable, for instance, through no fault of ours, if you do not have enough money in your account to make the transfer or circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood) prevent the transfer, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken.
-
16. Force Majeure
We shall not be liable for any loss, expense, failure to perform, or delay caused by failure of communication systems, accidents, strikes, fire, flood, war, riot, civil strife, terrorist attack, earthquake, power outage, funds transfer system or government rules, acts of third parties, or any cause that is beyond our reasonable control.
-

You authorize us to listen to and record telephone calls between you and us to evaluate the quality of our services or for any other lawful purpose.

For errors involving new accounts, 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.
