Business Law Term Paper Bank Financial Agreement

The financial service terms form is part of your Financial Service Agreement with The Toronto-Dominion Bank and its affiliates. The financial service terms document helps explain what the services are provided by the bank with detailing the use and important information about their accounts.

When a person signs the financial service agreement any existing agreement between the bank and the person who signs the agreement, for any particular product or service is replaced by this new agreement. There are few exceptions in which replacements of the existing agreement are not replaced. These exceptions are “any provisions whereby you have indicated who may deal with your joint account or whether your joint account has a right of survivorship remain valid until replaced with a new joint ownership record; and all provisions dealing with the specific terms of a particular product or service, including term, interest rate, amount of investment or any other terms particular to the product or service provided to you by us, to the extent that such provisions are not contained in the Agreement, remain valid until expiry or renewal.”
