Common use of Check Endorsement Standards Clause in Contracts

Check Endorsement Standards. To ensure that checks you deposit into your account are processed without delay, you must endorse them correctly. The area reserved for your signature is on the back of the check, within 1-1/2 inches from the “trailing edge” of the check. The “trailing edge” is defined as the left side of the check when viewing it from the front. Turn the check over and sign your name. Do not make any additional marks or notations on the back of the check. The portion of the check not reserved for your endorsement must remain blank for processing purposes. We will not be responsible for any Losses you incur if your check is improperly endorsed. You will be liable for unpaid checks returned late because your endorsement, a prior endorsement, or information you have printed on the back of the check obscures other endorsements.
