Encoding and retention warranties. (a) A person who encodes information on or with respect to an item
after issue warrants to any subsequent collecting bank and to the
payor bank or other payor that the information is correctly encoded.
If the customer of a depositary bank encodes, that bank also makes
the warranty. (b) A person who undertakes to retain an item pursuant to an
agreement for electronic presentment warrants to any subsequent
collecting bank and to the payor bank or other payor that retention
and presentment of the item comply with the agreement. If a
customer of a depositary bank undertakes to retain an item, that
bank also makes this warranty. (c) A person to whom warranties are made under this Code section and
who took the item in good faith may recover from the warrantor as
damages for breach of warranty an amount equal to the loss suffered
as a result of the breach, plus expenses and loss of interest
incurred as a result of the breach. |
