(f) Force Majeure.

Company agrees that no financial institution, payment system, communication carrier or other third party through which BBVA Compass may transmit information or funds in performing its obligations under this Agreement will be deemed to be BBVA Compass’ agent, and BBVA Compass shall not be responsible for errors, delays, acts, or failures to act by such third party. All of BBVA Compass’ obligations under this Agreement, whether express or implied, shall be suspended if at any time BBVA Compass’ performance of these obligations is prevented by, or is in conflict with, any Applicable Law or Payment System Rules.
(g) Commitment to Lend. Nothing in this Agreement nor any course of dealing between the Company and BBVA Compass constitutes a commitment or obligation to lend money or extend credit to the Company or to otherwise
9 of 98 advance money to the Company for any reason, including payment of any item contrary to BBVA Compass’ published availability schedules. (h) Severability. If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such holding shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any other provisions of this Agreement.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law which prohibits or renders unenforceable any provision hereof, and to the extent that such waiver is not permitted by applicable law, the parties intend that such provision be interpreted as modified to the minimum extent necessary to render such provision enforceable.
(i) Interpretation. The parties agree that the parties have carefully reviewed this Agreement and that the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this agreement. The article and section headings contained in this agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement. (j) Equitable Relief. Company acknowledges and agrees that, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision in this Agreement involving Confidential Information or any infringement or misappropriation of any intellectual property rights with respect to any licensed products, money damages would be an inadequate remedy and BBVA Compass shall be entitled to seek equitable relief from a court of law, including temporary or permanent injunctive relief.

(l) Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the state where we maintain your account or, if we maintain accounts for you in more than one state, the state where the first account with BBVA Compass was opened and applicable federal laws and regulations in effect from time to time. (m) Conflict of Terms. To the extent there is a conflict in the terms of the Agreement and any other agreement or contract between Company and BBVA Compass, the terms of the Agreement will control. (n) No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing contained in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any person or entity, other than the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature under or by reason of this Agreement.
