  6. PASSWORDS: You will create a password that will give you access to your eligible accounts through the online account access service. This password can be changed within online account access. We recommend that you change your password regularly. We are entitled to act on instructions received under your password. For security purposes, it is recommended that you memorize the password and do not write it down. You are responsible for keeping your password and eligible account information confidential.

If I fail to notify Allspring immediately upon the occurrence of any of the above events (unauthorized use), I agree that Allspring, the Allspring Funds and any third-party providers will not have any responsibility or liability to me (or to any other party whose claim may arise through me) for any claims relating to such unauthorized use or the mishandling, delay, or loss of any order described above or otherwise arising (order error) and related damages to me unless solely caused by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Allspring, the Allspring Funds or such third-party provider. If Allspring, the Allspring Funds or any third-party provider is adjudicated to be liable to me arising out of any unauthorized use or with respect to any order error, such liability shall be several (and not joint) and shall be limited to an amount equal to the verifiable loss incurred directly and solely due to the action or omission during the five business days after the date on which I first became aware of the suspected unauthorized use or order error (permitted loss claim). Except for the amount of any permitted loss claims, I agree that Allspring, the Allspring Funds and any third-party provider (and any of their officers, directors, employees, agents, or affiliates) will not have any other liability to me (or to any other party whose claims may arise through me) for any other amounts however arising, including consequential, incidental, special, or indirect damages, even if Allspring, the Allspring Funds or such third-party provider has been advised of the possibility of such other damages; and I waive and release Allspring, the Allspring Funds and such other parties from all such other claims. I agree that Allspring and the Allspring Funds are not responsible for notifying me if any order is inconsistent with any federal or state tax laws or otherwise appears in error for any reason.
