API Services Schedule
BankProv (the “Bank”) is pleased to offer its customers (“you”) BankProv API Services. This agreement does not intend and the terms ‘you’ and ‘your’ should not be interpreted to expand an individual’s responsibility for an organization’s liability. If this account is owned by a corporation, partnership, or other organization, individual liability is determined by the laws generally applicable to that type of organization. The headings in this document are for convenience or reference only and will not govern the interpretation of the provisions.
