4. DAILY MOBILE DEPOSIT CUTOFF AND DEPOSIT CONFIRMATIONS:

Mobile Deposits are subject to verification, authenticity, and FNBT Bank Funds Availability Policy and can be adjusted upon review. Receipt of deposit confirmation does not mean that the deposit was error free, complete, or will be considered a deposit and credited to your account. Mobile Deposit cut-off time is 4:00 CST, Monday through Friday. Mobile Deposits received after 4:00 CST Monday through Friday, will be posted the following business day. Mobile Deposits initiated by the customer on a non-business day will be considered to have been received the following business day. The customer also agrees that they will NOT re-present or negotiate the original item or a duplicate image of the item for processing to FNBT Bank or any other financial institution. The Bank reserves the right to refuse any Mobile Deposit for any reason and may request that the original item be presented to the bank for processing.


5. STORAGE AND DISPOSAL OF TRANSMITTED ITEMS:

Upon receipt of deposit confirmation, customer will prominently mark the item(s) as “Electronically Presented,” “VOID,” or otherwise render it incapable of further transmission, deposit, or presentment. Customer agrees to retain checks for at least sixty (60) calendar days from the date of the image transmission in a secure location. After sixty (60) days, customer will destroy the check(s) transmitted in an appropriate manner.


6. LIABILITY FOR FAILURE TO COMPLETE MOBILE DEPOSIT:

If the Bank does not complete a Mobile Deposit on time or in the correct amount as per the customer’s request, the Bank will be liable only for the amount of that Mobile Deposit and the Bank will not be liable for consequential or punitive damages or any other losses whatsoever that may be incurred by the Customer. If, and only if, the Bank willfully or intentionally neglects to complete a Mobile Deposit as requested by the Customer, the Bank will reverse any fees or charges assessed by the Bank against the Customer’s account(s). The Bank assumes no liability for any Mobile Deposit that it has refused to process.


7. ERRORS OR DISPUTES ABOUT TRANSACTIONS COVERED BY THIS AGREEMENT:

Customer must call FNBT Bank at (850) 796-2000, Ext 0, write to FNBT Bank at P.O.

9. LAW THAT APPLIES:

Regardless of where customer lives or works, or where customer accesses the Mobile Deposit services, the Agreement is subject to the laws of the State of Florida and the Federal Law of the United States of America with, in either event, consideration of conflicts of law principles. If any of the terms of the Agreement cannot be legally enforced, they will be considered changed to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law.


10. ATTORNEY’S FEES:
