After the funds have been transferred to the beneficiary bank, the funds become the property of that beneficiary bank. It will be its responsibility for locating, identifying,
and making payment to the beneficiary mentioned by me. We understand and agree that SBI is not responsible for any of these actions.
Because SBI does not maintain banking relations with every bank, it may be necessary to use one or more intermediary banks before the funds are transferred to the
beneficiary bank. After SBI transmits the funds transfer to the intermediary bank, we agree that it will be that bank’s responsibility to ensure that the funds transfer is
completed.
7. FEES IMPOSED BY INTERMEDIARY / BENEFICIARY BANKS: We also understand that in the above event, the intermediary and/or beneficiary bank may charge

a fee for processing our funds transfer and that SBI is not responsible for this fee. We agree that this fee may be deducted by the intermediary and/or beneficiary bank
from the amount to be credited to the beneficiary of our funds transfer.
8. CUT-OFF TIME FOR EXECUTING FUNDS TRANSFERS: We understand and agree that if our funds transfer request is received by SBI after its established cut-off
hour of 14.00 hours EST (time for telephone call-back included), our request may not be processed until the next business day.
9. REJECTION OF FUNDS TRANSFER REQUESTS: We understand and agree that SBI reserves the right to reject any request made by me for funds transfer when:
A. We have insufficient funds in our account; or
B. Our instruction is received by SBI through a communication means not approved by the Bank; or
C. Our instruction is unclear or incomplete or unsatisfactory for any reason.
10. DELAYS, NON-EXECUTION OF FUNDS TRANSFER REQUESTS: We agree that SBI will not be responsible for any loss or damage arising from:
A. Any act or failure to act on the part of any person not within SBI’s reasonable control; or
B. Any error, delay, or failure in the transmission of any funds transfer request resulting from an act of God, fire, catastrophe, telecommunications, electrical or
mechanical failure, or any other cause beyond the control of SBI.
11. CANCELING OR CHANGING TRANSFERS: We understand and agree that if we decide to cancel or change a funds transfer request, we may do so only if SBI
receives that instruction before it has sent the fund transfer and provided it has a reasonable time to act on our instruction to cancel or change the funds transfer. In
general, after SBI has sent the funds transfer, we will not be able to cancel or change it unless the beneficiary bank consents to such a request. SBI and/or beneficiary
bank may impose a charge for canceling or changing funds transfer request and, for any required currency conversion. SBI will not be liable for any losses resulting
from the failure of a beneficiary bank to cancel or change our funds transfer, nor shall we make any claim against SBI nor institute a legal action against SBI for such
failure.
12. RESPONSIBILITY FOR FUNDS TRANSFERS: We agree to assume full responsibility for and be bound by all funds transfer requests issued in our name(s),
whether or not authorized, provided the funds transfer request was executed by SBI in good faith and in accordance with the procedures set forth in this agreement.
13. CLAIMS: We agree that within fourteen (14) days after we receive notification in our periodic account statement that a funds transfer request has been executed,
we will notify SBI of any errors, delays, or other problems related to that funds transfer. If the funds transfer request has been erroneously executed as a result of SBI’s
error, SBI’s liability will not exceed the difference between the amount of the funds, which were to be transferred, and the amount of the funds actually transferred.
Should SBI’s conduct result in a delay of funds transfer, SBI’s liability will not exceed an amount equal to the interest, payable at SBI’s savings account rate in effect in
the state of the funds transfer, in the amount of funds which were instructed to be transferred or withdrawn for the period of delay. IN NO EVENT SHALL SBI BE
RESPONSIBLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR EXPENSES IN CONNECTION WITH MY FUNDS TRANSFER. Any
claim concerning the funds transfer must be filed in a court of competent Jurisdiction within one year from the date that we have received notification that the funds
transfer was executed, or will be barred by law. This paragraph does not apply to consumer electronic funds transfers to the extent those transfers are governed by the
Electronic Funds Transfer Act and the rules and regulations promulgated there under.
14. NOTICES: Any notice given to me under this agreement shall be deemed given upon depositing in an official depository of the U.S. Postal Service, postage
prepaid, or by facsimile when sent to the respective mailing address or facsimile address provided by me to SBI. Any change in either address will be promptly advised
