This website has been established by North State Bank to (1) communicate information about North State Bank products and services and (2) to communicate with North State Bank customers and prospective customers. The contents of this website are advertisements for North State Bank products and services.
 
TERMS
This website shares information about North State Bank’s products and services. It also enables communication between North State Bank and its customers. The Internet is not a secure medium, and confidentiality or reliability of communications cannot be assured. The material shared on this website is for informational purposes only. It does not supplant or otherwise replace the contracts or agreements between North State Bank and its customers.
 
In the event of a conflict between the contracts or agreements and any material on this website, the agreements shall control.
 
While North State Bank makes every effort to ensure that the information displayed on the website is accurate and up-to-date, the user understands all information is provided “As-is.”
 
BINDING ARBITRATION
All claims, disputes and controversies arising out of or relating in any way to the website, including claims for equitable relief or claims based on contract, tort, statute, warranty, or any alleged breach, default, negligence, wantonness, fraud, misrepresentation, suppression of fact, or inducement, will to the fullest extent permitted by Federal law, be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). Any challenges to the validity or enforceability of this Agreement shall be determined by the arbitrator(s) in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Arbitration Act and AAA Rules.
 
Arbitration may be initiated by any party by sending written notice of its intention to arbitrate (“Notice”) to the other party. The Notice will contain a description of the claim, dispute, or controversy and the remedy requested.  For any claim requesting relief or an award of less than Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000.00), the arbitration will be conducted before a single independent and impartial arbitrator selected by the AAA. For any claim requesting relief or an award of greater than Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000.00), the arbitration will be conducted before a panel of three independent and impartial arbitrators selected by the AAA. Unless otherwise mutually agreed, all arbitrators shall be lawyers licensed by the North Carolina State Bar and approved to be on an AAA Panel.
 
The arbitrator will deliver the decision or award in writing with a summary of the reasons for the decision or award, and the decision or award shall be final and binding on all parties, their successors and assigns. In an appropriate case, the arbitrator may grant a motion to dismiss the claim or a motion for summary deposition of the claim. Judgment on the decision or award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction. Fees and costs of the arbitration will conform to the AAA fee schedule in effect at the time of the arbitration and will be shared equally by the parties.
 
This clause shall not prevent any party from requesting assistance from by any authorized federal or state agency. Such agency will be allowed to complete any informal dispute resolution process prior to any arbitration proceeding.
 
This clause is an election to resolve claims, disputes, and controversies by arbitration rather than the judicial process. IT IS UNDERSTOOD THAT THE USER WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OR A TRIAL IN COURT. The user understands that the rules applicable to arbitrations and the rights of parties in arbitrations differ from the rules and rights applicable in court. The arbitration will be conducted at an appropriate time and place set by the arbitrator or panel in Wake County, North Carolina.
