670.507 Choice of law.—(1) The following rules apply unless the affected parties otherwise agree or subsection (3) applies:(a) The rights and obligations between the sender of a payment order and the receiving bank are governed by the law of the jurisdiction in which the receiving bank is located.(b) The rights and obligations between the beneficiary’s bank and the beneficiary are governed by the law of the jurisdiction in which the beneficiary’s bank is located.(c) The issue of when payment is made pursuant to a funds transfer by the originator to the beneficiary is governed by the law of the jurisdiction in which the beneficiary’s bank is located.(2) If the parties described in each paragraph of subsection (1) have made an agreement selecting the law of a particular jurisdiction to govern rights and obligations between each other, the law of that jurisdiction governs those rights and obligations, whether or not the payment order or the funds transfer bears a reasonable relation to that jurisdiction.(3) A funds-transfer system rule may select the law of a particular jurisdiction to govern:(a) Rights and obligations between participating banks with respect to payment orders transmitted or processed through the system; or(b) The rights and obligations of some or all parties to a funds transfer any part of which is carried out by means of the system.A choice of law made pursuant to paragraph (a) is binding on participating banks. A choice of law made pursuant to paragraph (b) is binding on the originator, other sender, or a receiving bank having notice that the funds-transfer system might be used in the funds transfer and of the choice of law by the system when the originator, other sender, or receiving bank issued or accepted a payment order. The beneficiary of a funds transfer is bound by the choice of law if, when the funds transfer is initiated, the beneficiary has notice that the funds-transfer system might be used in the funds transfer and of the choice of law by the system. The law of a jurisdiction selected pursuant to this subsection may govern, whether or not that law bears a reasonable relation to the matter in issue.(4) In the event of inconsistency between an agreement under subsection (2) and a choice-of-law rule under subsection (3), the agreement under subsection (2) prevails.(5) If a funds transfer is made by use of more than one funds-transfer system and there is inconsistency between choice-of-law rules of the systems, the matter in issue is governed by the law of the selected jurisdiction that has the most significant relationship to the matter in issue.History.—s. 1, ch. 91-70.

671.205 Course of performance; course of dealing; usage of trade.—(1) A “course of performance” is a sequence of conduct between the parties to a particular transaction that exists if:(a) The agreement of the parties with respect to the transaction involves repeated occasions for performance by a party; and(b) The other party, with knowledge of the nature of the performance and opportunity for objection to it, accepts the performance or acquiesces in it without objection.(2) A “course of dealing” is a sequence of conduct concerning previous transactions between the parties to a particular transaction which is fairly to be regarded as establishing a common basis of understanding for interpreting their expressions and other conduct.(3) A “usage of trade” is any practice or method of dealing having such regularity of observance in a place, vocation, or trade as to justify an expectation that it will be observed with respect to the transaction in question. The existence and scope of such a usage are to be proved as facts. If it is established that such a usage is embodied in a written trade code or similar record, the interpretation of the record is a question of law.(4) A course of performance or a course of dealing between the parties or usage of trade in the vocation or trade in which they are engaged or of which they are or should be aware is relevant in ascertaining the meaning of the parties’ agreement, may give particular meaning to specific terms of the agreement, and may supplement or qualify the terms of the agreement. A usage of trade applicable in the place in which part of the performance under the agreement is to occur may be so utilized as to that part of the performance.(5) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (6), the express terms of an agreement and any applicable course of performance, course of dealing, or usage of trade must be construed whenever reasonable as consistent with each other. If such a construction is unreasonable:(a) Express terms prevail over course of performance, course of dealing, and usage of trade;(b) Course of performance prevails over course of dealing and usage of trade; and(c) Course of dealing prevails over usage of trade.(6) A course of performance is relevant to show a waiver or modification of any term inconsistent with the course of performance.(7) Evidence of a relevant usage of trade offered by one party is not admissible unless that party has given the other party notice that the court finds sufficient to prevent unfair surprise to the other party.History.—s. 1, ch. 65-254; s. 553, ch. 97-102; s. 12, ch. 2007-134.Note.—s. 1-205, U.C.C.; supersedes s. 674.01.

671.207 Performance or acceptance under reservation of rights.—(1) A party who, with explicit reservation of rights, performs or promises performance or assents to performance in a manner demanded or offered by the other party does not thereby prejudice the rights reserved. Such words as “without prejudice,” “under protest,” or the like are sufficient.(2) Subsection (1) does not apply to an accord and satisfaction.History.—s. 1, ch. 65-254; s. 4, ch. 92-82.Note.—s. 1-207, U.C.C.

671.208 Option to accelerate at will.—A term providing that one party or the party’s successor in interest may accelerate payment or performance or require collateral or additional collateral “at will” or “when she or he deems herself or himself insecure” or in words of similar import must be construed to mean that she or he has power to do so only if she or he in good faith believes that the prospect of payment or performance is impaired. The burden of establishing lack of good faith is on the party against whom the power has been exercised.History.—s. 1, ch. 65-254; s. 555, ch. 97-102; s. 14, ch. 2007-134.Note.—s. 1-208, U.C.C.; supersedes s. 674.03(3).

An organization exercises due diligence if it maintains reasonable routines for communicating significant information to the person conducting the transaction and there is reasonable compliance with the routines. Due diligence does not require an individual acting for the organization to communicate information unless the communication is part of the individual’s regular duties or the individual has reason to know of the transaction and that the transaction would be materially affected by the information.History.—s. 15, ch. 2007-134.

Subordination does not create a security interest as against either the common debtor or a subordinated creditor.History.—s. 19, ch. 2007-134.
