You will ensure that, prior to scanning, items to be scanned for deposit (i.e. checks) are restrictively endorsed “FOR REMOTE DEPOSIT TO REDWOOD CAPITAL BANK”.  Checks without this restrictive endorsement may not be processed by the bank.

If we receive a scanned Item on or before 3:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time on a business day we are open, we will consider that day to be the day of deposit.  If we receive a scanned Item after 3:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time or on a day that is not a business day, we may consider that the deposit was made on the next business day.  BUSINESS DAYS For the purpose of this Agreement, our business days are Monday through Friday, excluding weekends, holidays, and other days we choose not to be open. The MAXIMUM LIMIT for an individual checks to be scanned is $2,500 and the maximum daily limit of scanned deposits that will be accepted is $2,500.  The bank reserves the right to change the funds availability policy and deposit limits as required.

Each business day on which we review and process your Electronic Item(s), we will use commercially reasonable efforts to review each Electronic Item and to reject any Electronic Item that we in our sole discretion determine to be ineligible for the Service (each, an “Exception Item”).  By way of example, “Exception Item” includes, without limitation, an Electronic Item that (a) is illegible or contains MICR data that is not machine-readable, (b) was previously processed as an Electronic Item, (c) is drawn on banks located outside the United States and is not payable at or through a bank located within the United States; or (d) that we in our sole discretion otherwise determine that the Electronic Item is not eligible.  While we will normally notify you of each Exception Item through the Service, or other communication channels, at our discretion, we may not notify you of an Exception Item.  We will not be liable for any rejected deposit or failure to notify you of such rejection.

You are solely responsible for verifying that Items that you deposit using the Service have been received and accepted for deposit by the Bank.  The Bank will provide you with notice of any deposits that it is unable to process because Items were returned unpaid by the Paying Bank.  All transactions are governed by  applicable law, including without limitation those applicable under the UCC, Regulation CC, Regulation J, and the rules of any image exchange network.
