The freeze or hold may last an undetermined amount of time and continue for an amount of time sufficient for us to determine a resolution of the issues or for a judicial (or other binding) determination to be made of the claims or issues. We may require that you obtain such judicial (or other binding) determination between yourself and competing claimants, and we shall not be required to participate as a party to such proceedings. We may in any event, in our sole discretion, choose to close the account and send the funds to the owner or owners of the account, according to our records, at the statement mailing address or deliver the property to the owner or owners of the property. You agree that we will not be responsible for damages or losses you may incur because of items that are not paid, funds that are not available, or deposits that are refused during the freeze or hold or after the account is closed.
