ORDER ON MOTIONS FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT BETH BLOOM, District Judge THIS CAUSE is before the Court upon Defendant Branch Banking and Trust Company’s Motion for Summary Judgment, ECF No. [143], (“BB & T Motion”) and Plaintiffs’ Motion for Partial Summary Judgment on Defendant’s Fifth, Sixth, Thirty-Eighth, and Thirty-Ninth Affirmative Defenses, ECF No. [138] (“Plaintiffs’ Motion”) (collectively, the “Motions”). The Court has reviewed the Motions, all supporting and opposing filings thereto, and the record in this case. For the reasons that follow, BB & T’s Motion is granted in part and denied in part. Plaintiffs’ Motion is denied. J. BACKGROUND AND FACTS This action stems from a series of allegedly illicit and unauthorized transactions conducted by a now-defunct concierge service organization on behalf of twelve (12) current and former players in the National Football League (collectively, “Plaintiffs”). See Fourth Amended Complaint, ECF No. [89] (hereinafter, “FAC”). Without proper authorization, the concierge services corporation purportedly diverted in excess of $50 million from Plaintiffs’ accounts for improper purposes. See id. Plaintiffs now seek redress for their monetary injuries. A. Background and Nature of Claims Plaintiffs in this matter are Derrick Gaffney (“Gaffney”), Jevon Kearse (“Kearse”), Ray Lewis (“Lewis”), Santana Moss (“Moss”), Clinton Portis (“Portis”), Lito Sheppard (“Sheppard”), Fred Taylor (“Taylor”), Jamaal Anderson (“Anderson”), Jacob Bell (“Bell”), Tavares Gooden (“Goo-den”), Santonio Holmes (“Holmes”), and Brandon Meriweather (“Meriweather”). See id. At some point prior to 2007, each individual Plaintiff retained Pro Sports Financial, Inc. (“Pro Sports”) to provide “concierge” financial services. See Defendant’s Statement of Material Facts, ECF No. [142] at ¶2 (hereinafter, “BB & T SOF”); Plaintiffs’ Response to Defendant’s Statement of Material Facts, ECF No. [163] at ¶2 (hereinafter, “PL Resp.SOF”). In order to facilitate Pro Sports’ ability to provide such services, each Plaintiff opened a checking account at BankAtlantic, LLC (“BankAtlantic”). Seven of the twelve Plaintiffs opened accounts prior to October 2006 (the “Prior Authorized Accounts”): • Gaffney opened an account ending 1451 on July 18, 2002, and executed a Power of Attorney on June 22, 2004 in favor of Pro Sports’ employee Erick Carter. • Kearse opened an account ending in 7745 on March 19, 2001, and executed a Power of Attorney on April 24, 2002 in favor of Pro Sports’ employee Peggy Lee. • Lewis opened an account ending in 0488 on November 12, 2002, and simultaneously executed a Power of Attorney in favor of Pro Sports’ employee Peggy Lee. • Moss opened an account ending in '6244 on January 23, 2006, and executed a Power of Attorney in favor of Pro Sports’ employee Erick Carter. • Portis opened an account ending in 4291 on April 21, 2004, and executed a Power of Attorney in favor of Pro Sports’ employee Erick Carter. • Sheppard opened an account ending in 9612 on July 26, 2002, and executed a Power of Attorney on August 7, 2002, in favor of Pro Sports’ employee Peggy Lee. • Taylor opened an account ending in 0202 on June 22, 2004, and executed a Power of Attorney in favor of Pro Sports’ employee Peggy Lee. BB & T SOF at ¶¶4, 5; PI. Resp. SOF at ¶¶ 4, 5. Before opening any account, Ban-kAtlantic required customers to execute “Signature Cards,” which included information about the customer and the account. See Affidavit of Jacquelyn Orrizzi, ECF No. [141] (“Orrizzi Affidavit”) at ¶ 8. In opening the aforementioned accounts, these Plaintiffs do not dispute that they executed a valid Signature Card. BB & T SOF at ¶ 6; PI. Resp. SOF at ¶ 6. Indeed, Plaintiffs Lewis and Taylor designated Pro Sports’ address, 800 Fairways Drive, #370, Deerfield Beach, Florida, as the mailing.address for their respective Prior Authorized Accounts. BB & T. SOF at ¶ 7; PI, Resp. SOF at ¶ 7. Thereafter, Pro Sports moved locations to 6600 N. Andrews Ave., Suite 130, Fort Lauderdale, Florida. BB & T SOF at ¶8; PI. Resp. SOF at ¶ 8. After’ the move, nearly all statements for the Prior Authorized Accounts — save for Taylor’s — were delivered to Pro Sports’ Fort Lauderdale location. BB & T SOF at ¶ 9; PI. Resp. SOF at ¶ 9; see also February. 24, 2009 Email from Erick Carter, ECF No. [163-1] (indicating that Pro Sports did not receive statements for Taylor and. Gooden at some point). On October 15, 2006, a burglary incident occurred at Pro Sports’ headquarters where a window was broken and a computer server was stolen. See Deposition of Erick Carter, BB & T’s Ex. 13 (hereinafter, “Carter Depo.”) at 20:1-25, 23:3-18; see also -October 15, 2006 Police Report (“Police Report”), BB & T’s Ex. 14 (indicating that several servers were stolen from the office). According to BB & T and Pro Sports, the theft imperiled the Plaintiffs’ sensitive financial information. See BB & T SOF at ¶ 10; Police Report at 5. Allegedly, as a result of the data compromise, Pro Sports opened new accounts for Gaffney, Kearse, Lewis, Moss, Portis, Sheppard, and Taylor (the “Group A Plaintiffs”). BB & T SOF at ¶ 11. Specifically, the following accounts were opened on the Group A Plaintiffs’ behalf in October 2006 (the “Disputed Accounts”): • An account ending in 7441 on behalf of Gaffney on October 17,2006. • An account ending in 7797 on behalf of Kearse on October 16,2006. • An account ending in 7540 on behalf of Lewis on October 17,2006. • An account ending in 7409 on behalf of Moss on October 17,2006. • An account ending in 7532 on behalf of Portis on October 16,2006. • An account ending in 7821 on behalf of Sheppard on October 16, 2006. • An account ending in 7813 on behalf . of Taylor on October 17,2006. BB & T SOF at ¶ 12; Pl. Resp. SOF at ¶ 12. The Disputed Accounts were initially funded by monies on deposit with Ban-kAtlantic from the Prior Authorized Accounts. BB & T SOF at ¶ 18; Pl. Resp. SOF at ¶ 18. Various Pro Sports’ employees were designated as Powers of Attorney on the Disputed Accounts, including Peggy Lee,' Tequilla Harris, and Erick Carter. BB & T SOF at ¶ 12; Pl. Resp. SOF at ¶ 12. With the exception of Kearse, the Group A Plaintiffs challenge the validity of the Signature Cards associated with the Disputed Accounts, contending that Signature Cards contain their forged signatures. See FAC at ¶¶ 51-52. Kearse, on the other hand, did not dispute the validity of his signature on (the Signature' Card for his Disputed Account. .See Deposition of Je-von Kearse, BB & T’s Ex. 6 (hereinafter, “Kearse Depo.”) at 43:2-44:12. The Signature Cards for the Disputed Accounts listed Pro Sports’ address at 6600- N. Andrews Ave., Suite 130, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, as the designated mailing address. BB & T SOF at ¶ 16; Pl. Resp. SOF at ¶ 16; Orrizzi Affi at ¶ 14. Thus, all correspondence for the accounts was mailed to Pro Sports. BB & T SOF at ¶ 16; Pl. Resp. SOF at ¶ 16; Orrizzi Affi at ¶ 14. Despite the Group , A Plaintiffs’ nescience regarding the existence of the Disputed Accounts, Pro Sports began conducting the Group A Plaintiffs' financial activity, which had previously been relegated to the Prior Authorized Accounts, through the Disputed Accounts. BB & T SOF at ¶ 18; PI. Resp. SOF at ¶18. Among other things; the Disputed Accounts were utilized to pay the Group A Plaintiffs’ expenses, including mortgage and utilities payments, and were also the recipient accounts for Certain Group A Plaintiffs’ checks from their respective NFL teams. BB & T SOF at ¶ 18; Pl. Resp. SOF at ¶ 18. Nonetheless, the Group A Plaintiffs were generally unaware that this business was being .conducted out of a new account and not their respective Prior Authorized Accounts. See BB & T SOF at ¶ 18; Pl. Resp. SOF at ¶ 18 (correctly portraying BB & T’s cited deposition testimony). Unlike the other Group A Plaintiffs, Sheppard later executed an uncontested Signature Card- for his Disputed Account. See Orrizzi Aff,, at Ex. C, 24. At some point in.October or November 2009, Sheppard added his wife as a signatory, executed a new Signature Card, and designated Tequilla. Harris as Power of Attorney. See Deposition of Lito Sheppard, BB & T’s Ex. 11 (hereinafter, “Sheppard Depo.”) at 58:13-59:10. However, it remains unclear as to whether Sheppard was aware that this account was not the Prior Authorized Account he had opened at BankAtlantic. The remaining Plaintiffs — Anderson, Bell, Gooden, Holmes, and Meriweather (the “Group B Plaintiffs”) — present a different situation. Other than Gooden, the Group B Plaintiffs opened -the following undisputed accounts: • Anderson opened an account ending in 9343 on June 22,2007. • Bell opened an account ending in 8408 on October 23, 2007. • Holmes opened an account ending in 8733 on June 25,2007. • Meriweather opened an account ending in 3742 on August 8,2007. BB & T SOF at ¶ 21;. PI. Resp. SOF at ¶ 21; Orrizzi Aff. at ¶ 16. Pursuant to BankAtlantic’s procedures, Signature Cards were executed for these accounts. BB & T SOF at ¶ 23; PI. Resp. SOF at ¶23. The Group B -Plaintiffs designated Pro Sports’ employees as the Powers of Attorney and listed Pro Sports’ headquarters as the mailing address. BB & T SOF at ¶¶ 25-27; PI. Resp. SOF at ¶¶ 25-27.. Unlike the Group A Plaintiffs, the Group B Plaintiffs do not dispute the authenticity of their signatures, save for Gooden. BB & T SOF at ¶ 23; PI. Resp. SOF at ¶23. On March 27, 2008, an account ending in 2112 was opened in Gooden’s name; however, Gooden disputes the validity of this account. As pled in the FAC, Gooden’s allegations conform to those of the other Group B Plaintiffs, to wit, the admitted opening of the account and authentic signature. See FAC at ¶¶ 82-83. It was not until his deposition on February 25, 2015 that the true nature of Gooden’s claim was discovered. See Deposition of Tavares Gooden, BB & T’s Ex. 4 (hereinafter, “Gooden Depo.”) at 31:22-33:1. Gooden now disputes the opening of his account ending in 2112 and challenges the authenticity of the associated Signature Card. See Gooden Depo. at 21:4-16, 30:12-31:3. Regardless, all Group B Plaintiffs, including Gooden, intended that the account statements for their accounts be'sent to Pro Sports. BB & T SOF at ¶28; PL Resp. SOF at ¶ 28. Subject’ to the following exceptions, all statements for both the Group A and Group B Plaintiffs were mailed to 6600 N. Andrews Ave., Suite 130, Fort Lauderdale, Florida: • The October 2008 and February 2009 statements for Taylor’s Disputed Account ending in 7813 were sent to Taylor’s address in Southwest Ranches, Florida. • The November and December 2008 account statements for Gooden’s account ending in 2112 were sent to an address in Dania, Florida. • Regarding Sheppard’s Disputed Account ending in 7821, duplicate statements were sent to an address in Jacksonville, Flórida, BB & T SOF at ¶37; Pl. Resp. SOF at ¶ 37. Based on the foregoing facts, the Group A Plaintiffs and the Group B Plaintiffs assert differing.causes of action. Save for Kearse, the Group A Plaintiffs contend that BankAtlantic was negligent in the opening and maintaining the Disputed Accounts by allowing Pro Sports to open and conduct transactions out of the Disputed Accounts absent the Group A Plaintiffs’ knowledge and/or informed consent. See FAC at ¶¶ 104-05; BB & T SOF at ¶ 14; PI. Resp. SOF at ¶ 14. Thus, the Group A Plaintiffs’ seek recovery under a theory of negligence (Count I). FAC at ¶¶ 104-05. On the other hand, the Group B Plaintiffs, with the exception of Gooden, do not dispute the opening of their accounts and, therefore, assert a claim for breach of contract (Count II). FAC at ¶¶ 109-21. In short, the Group B Plaintiffs allege that BankAtlantic breached the contractual agreements with the respective Plaintiffs by “accepting and. acting upon instructions ... that resulted in wire transfers, Cash-Link wire transfers or checks that were not properly authorized by the Group B Plaintiffs or the named attomey-in-fact (if any) for the relevant Group B Plaintiff.” Id. at ¶ 116. As noted, exceptions exist. While Kearse is classified as' a Group A Plaintiff who challenges the legitimacy of his signature on the Signature Card of his Disputed Account, he failed to do the same at his deposition. Compare FAC at ¶¶ 51-52 with Kearse Depo. at 43:2-44:12. Similarly, Gooden has also altered his claims, converting from Group B to Group A: as pled, Gooden has not disputed the validity of his signature, but at deposition he has done the exact opposite. Compare FAC at ¶¶ 82-83 with Gooden Depo. at 31:22-33:1. Additionally, both the Group A and Group B Plaintiffs assert causes of action for refund of unauthorized and ineffective funds transfer pursuant to Chapter 670 of the Florida Statutes (Counts III and IV). See FAC at ¶¶ 122-36. ' B. The Disputed Transactions During the relevant time period, Ban-kAtlantic’s default business practice was to-deliver monthly account statements for all deposit accounts via U.S. mail to the address listed in its records. BB & T SOF at ¶¶ 44-45; PI. Resp. SOF at ¶¶ 44-45. However, Plaintiffs dispute whether all the account statements were actually received; indeed, Pro Sports contacted BankAtlantic in February 2009 due to the fact that it had not been receiving account statements for Gooden’s account ending -in 2112 and Taylor’s account ending in 7813. See February 24, 2009 Email from Erick Carter, ECF No. [163-1]. Regardless, the totality of the disputed transactions were included in Plaintiffs’ respective monthly account statements and Plaintiffs had the right to examine the statements at either BankAt-lantic or Pro Sports at any time. BB & T SOF at ¶¶ 40, .47; PI. Resp. SOF at ¶¶ 40, 47. ■Ultimately, Plaintiffs do not dispute all transactions from their respective accounts but, rather, have isolated a number of transactions that they deem improper and unauthorizéd. See BB & T SOF at ¶ 43; PI. Resp. SOF at ¶ 43. In fact, the vast majority of the transactions emanating from the accounts were for valid purposes. See BB & T SOF at ¶ 18; PI. Resp. SOF at ¶ 18. The disputed transactions are comprised of a variety of large-sum, rounded-digit wires and checks to various individuals and businesses, the overwhelming majority of which include wires to “Ronnie Gilley Properties, LLC” (hereinafter, the “Ronnie Gilley Wires”). See Composite Exhibits “G” and “L” to Plaintiffs’ Proposed Fifth Amended Complaint, ECF No. [105-1] at 80-86, 120-24. The Ronnie Gilley Wires relate to a casino project in Alabama known as Country Crossing. BB & T SOF at ¶ 36; PI. Resp. SOF at ¶ 36. In 2007 or 2008, several of the Plaintiffs attended a meeting where developer Ronnie Gilley proposed to the attending Plaintiffs a private placement' investment in Country Crossing. BB & T SOF at ¶ 36; PI. Resp. SOF at ¶ 36. The attending Plaintiffs visited the site in Alabama to view the potential investment, some making multiple trips. BB & T SOF at ¶36; PI. Resp. SOF at ¶ 36. Despite engaging in the meetings and visiting the property, the Plaintiffs deny ever authorizing investment into the project. BB & T SOF at ¶ 36; PL Resp. SOF at ¶ 36. Additionally, Kearse, Sheppard, and Taylor dispute a variety of debits for transfers to Troy Bank & Trust in February 2009 (hereinafter, the “Troy Bank Transactions”). BB & T SOF at ¶ 50; PL Resp. SOF at ¶ 50. C. The Depositor’s Agreement By signing a Signature Card, a BankAt-lantic customer agrees to the following language: You acknowledge receipt of and agree to the terms of the Depositor’s Agreement and Disclosure Statements, Truth in Savings Disclosure and Schedule of Charges. BB & T SOF at ¶ 29; Pl. Resp. SOF at ¶ 29; Orrizzi Aff. at ¶ 20. The Depositor’s Agreement and Disclosure Statements (hereinafter, “Depositor’s Agreement”) contains a variety of provisions, most of which are fit to quote in full. Regarding the delivery of account statements, the Depositor’s Agreement provides: Periodic statements will be provided on all Accounts, excluding Time Deposit Accounts. Unless we are otherwise instructed, the statements will be mailed by us via 'U.S. mail to your last known address as shown on our records.... If you request us to mail or deliver your statements to another party, such as your bookkeeper or accountant, or if you request we hold your mail, you agree that we have made your statements and items available to you when the statement is issued. Depositor’s Agreement at 15. The Depositor’s Agreement continues, advising the customer regarding “items”, and limitations related thereto: You should promptly and carefully examine the statement and cancelled checks (including front and back), if included in the statement, immediately upon receipt. Notify us in writing via U.S. mail or email of any dispute or difference for any reason, including unauthorized signature, lack of signature, unauthorized Electronic Identifier including but not limited to remotely created checks, alternation or other irregularity promptly and in no event later than thirty (30) calendar days after your statement and items were received or otherwise made available to you. Failure to report such irregularity within thirty (30) calendar days shall preclude you from- recovering any amounts from us. Depositor’s Agreement at 15. Similarly, the Depositor’s Agreement places notification requirements with respect to payment orders initiating wire transfers: Bank shall provide Customer with an advice of debit of Account and/or a statement of Account, which advice and/or statement will provide Customer with sufficient information to identify a Payment. Order. Customer agrees to examine each advice and/or statement promptly upon it being received or made available and to notify Bank.immediately via written communication of any error or discrepancy in any such records — Furthermore, the Customer shall be precluded from asserting any claim against Bank with respect to a Payment Order (or from otherwise objecting to any debit thereof to the Customer’s Account), unless Bank has received written notification from the Customer of any error or discrepancy with regard to the Payment Order within one (1) year from the date of Customer’s earliest receipt of notification of the Payment Order. Depositor’s Agreement at 29. Thus, the language of the Depositor’s Agreement imposes ’ two notification requirements and the customer’s failure to abide by either will, ostensibly,' preclude the customer from asserting a claim against the bank for the pertinent transaction. See id. at 15, 29. II. SUMMARY JUDGMENT STANDARD A party may obtain summary judgment “if the movant shows that there is no genuine dispute as to any material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(a). The parties may support their positions by citation to the record, including inter alia, depositions, documents, affidavits, or declarations. Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(c). An issue is genuine if “a reasonable trier of fact could return judgment for the non-moving party.” Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Fla. v. United States, 516 F.3d 1235, 1243 (11th Cir.2008) (quoting Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 247-48, 106 S.Ct. 2505, 91 L.Ed.2d 202 (1986)). A fact is material if it “might affect the outcome of the suit under the governing law.” Id. (quoting Anderson, 477 U.S. at 247-48,106 S.Ct. 2505). The Court views the facts in the light most favorable to the non-moving party and draws all reasonable inferences in the non-moving party’s favor. See Davis v. Williams, 451 F.3d 759, 763 (11th Cir.2006). “The mere existence of a scintilla of evidence in support of the plaintiffs position will be insufficient; there must be evidence on which a jury could reasonably find for the plaintiff.” Anderson, 477 U.S. at 252, 106 S.Ct. 2505. Further, the Court does not weigh conflicting evidence. See Skop v. City of Atlanta, Ga., 485 F.3d 1130, 1140 (11th Cir.2007) (quoting Carlin Comm’n, Inc. v. S. Bell Tel. & Tel. Co., 802 F.2d 1352,1356 (11th Cir.1986)). The moving party shoulders the initial burden of showing the absence of a genuine issue of material fact. Shiver v. Chertoff, 549 F.3d 1342, 1343 (11th Cir.2008). Once this burden is satisfied, “the nonmoving party ‘must do more than simply show that there is some metaphysical doubt as to the material facts.’” Ray v. Equifax Info. Servs., L.L.C., 327 Fed.Appx. 819, 825 (11th Cir.2009) (quoting Matsushita Elec. Indus. Co., Ltd. v. Zenith Radio Corp., 475 U.S. 574, 586, 106 S.Ct. 1348, 89 L.Ed.2d 538 (1986)). Instead, “the non-moving party ‘must make a sufficient showing on each essential element- of the case for which he has the burden of proof.’ ” Id. (quoting Celotex Corp. v. Ca trett, 477 U.S. 317, 322, 106 S.Ct. 2548, 91 L.Ed.2d 265 (1986)). Accordingly, the non-moving party must produce evidence, going beyond the pleadings, and by its own affidavits, or by depositions, answers to interrogatories, and admissions on file, designating specific facts to suggest that a reasonable jury could find in the non-moving party’s favor. Skiver, 549 F.3d at 1343. Even “where the parties agree on the basic facts, but disagree about the factual inferences that, should be drawn from those facts,” summary judgment may be inappropriate. Warrior Tombigbee Transp. Co., Inc. v. M/V Nan Fung, 695 F.2d 1294, 1296 (11th Cir.1983). In resolving issues presented under Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(c), “the court may not weigh conflicting evidence to resolve disputed factual issues; if a genuine dispute is found, summary judgment must be denied.” Carlin Commc’n, Inc. v. Southern Bell Tel. & Tel. Co., 802 F.2d 1352, 1356 (11th Cir.1986); see also Aurich v. Sanchez, 2011 WL 5838233, at *1 (S.D.Fla. Nov. 21, 2011) (“If a reasonable fact finder could draw more than one inference- from the facts, and that inference creates an issue of material fact, then the court must not grant summary judgment.” (citing Hairston v. Gainesville Sun Publishing Co., 9 F.3d 913 (11th Cir.1993))). In particular, summary judgment is inappropriate where the Court would be required to weigh conflicting renditions of material fact or determine witness credibility. See Hairston, 9 F.3d at 919; see also Mize v. Jefferson City Bd. of Educ., 93 F.3d 739, 742 (11th Cir.1996) (“It is not the court’s role to weigh conflicting evidence or to make credibility determinations;' the non-movant’s evidence is to be accepted for purposes of summary judgment.”); see also Strickland v. Norfolk S. Ry. Co., 692 F.3d 1151, 1154 (11th Cir.2012) (“Credibility determinations, the weighing of the evidence, and the drawing of legitimate inferences from the facts are jury functions, not those of a judge, whether he [or she] is ruling on a motion for summary judgment or for a directed verdict.” (quoting Anderson, ATI U.S. at 255, 106 S.Ct. 2505)); Gary v. Modena, 2006 WL 3741364, at *16 (11th Cir. Dec. 21, 2006) (Fed. R. Civ. P. 56 precludes summary judgment where court would be required to reconcile conflicting testimony or assess witness credibility); Ramirez v. Nicholas, 2013 WL 5596114, at *4 (S.D.Fla. Oct.11, 2013) (“The Court may not make the credibility determinations needed to resolve this conflict; only the jury may do so.”). III. DISCUSSION The parties’ respective Motions raise issues primarily implicating the Depositor’s Agreement and relevant provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code under Articles 4 and 4A, as codified in the Flolida Statutes. As will become clear, see infra Section III.B., the arguments presented in Plaintiffs’ Motion mimic those presented in BB & T’s and, therefore, resolution of BB & T’s Motion necessarily resolves all issues presented in Plaintiffs’. Motion. Accordingly, the Court addresses the Motions in turn, beginning with BB & T’s Motion. A. BB & T’s Motion for Summary Judgment 1. The Contract Plaintiffs (Group B) BB & T contends that the claims asserted by Anderson, Bell,. Holmes, and Meri-weather, the majority of the Group B Plaintiffs, as well as Kearse, who has admitted to the validity of his signature (collectively, the “Contract Plaintiffs”), are barred by the terms of the Depositor’s Agreement. Further, according to BB & T, the claims are precluded under Articles 4 and 4A of the Uniform Commercial Code (“U.C.C.”). The Court addresses these arguments in turn. a. The Depositor’s Agreement and Timely Notice The Depositor’s Agreement establishes a two-part burden-shifting framework for challenges to items and funds transfers. First, the burden falls on BankAtlantic to render account statements to the customer at the designated address: Periodic statements will be provided on all Accounts, excluding Time Deposit Accounts. Unless we are otherwise instructed, the statements will be mailed by us via U.S. mail to your last known address as shown on our records.... If you request us to mail or deliver your statements to another party, such as your bookkeeper or accountant, or if you request we hold your mail, you agree that we have made your statements and items available to you when the statement is issued. Depositor’s Agreement at 15. After Ban-kAtlantic has satisfied its obligation to provide account statements, the burden then falls on the customer to review the statements and provide BankAtlantic with written notice of any objectionable activity. See id. at 15,-29. Where the activity relates to “items” or checks, the Depositor’s agreement provides a thirty (30) day notice period: Notify us in writing via U.S. mail or email of any dispute or difference for any reason, including unauthorized signature, lack of signature, unauthorized Electronic Identifier including but not limited to remotely created checks, alternation or other irregularity promptly and in no event later than thirty (30) calendar days after your statement and item s were received or otherwise made available to you. Failure to report such irregularity within thirty (30) calendar days shall preclude you from recovering any amounts from us. Id. at 15 (emphasis added). With respect to payment orders or wire transfers, the Depositor’s Agreement imposes a more protracted notice period of one (1) year: Customer agrees to examine each advice and/or statement promptly upon it being received or made available and to notify Bank immediately via written communication of any error or discrepancy in any such records.... Furthermore, the Customer shall be precluded from asserting any claim against Bank with respect to a Payment Order (or from otherwise objecting to any debit thereof to the Customer’s Account), unless Bank has received written notification from the Customer of any error or discrepancy with regard to the Payment Order tvithin one (1) year from the date of Customer’s earliest receipt of notification of the Payment Order. Id. at 29 (emphasis added). Failure to notify BankAtlantic within the requisite time period precludes the customer from asserting a claim for recovery of the amount of the disputed debit. See id. at 15,19. Where an item is properly mailed, there exists a rebuttable presumption that the item is received by the addressee. In re Farris, 365 Fed.Appx. 198, 199 (11th Cir.2010). This “ ‘presumption of receipt’ arises upon proof that the item was properly addressed, had sufficient postage, and was deposited in the mail.” Id. at 199-200 (quoting Konst v. Fla. E. Coast Ry. Co., 71 F.3d 850, 851 (11th Cir. 1996)); see also Rivera v. AT & T Corp., 420 F.Supp.2d 1312, 1320 (S.D.Fla.2006) (citing Barnett v. Okeechobee Hosp., 283 F.3d 1232, 1239 (11th Cir.2002) (“[T]he common law has long recognized a rebut-table presumption that an item properly mailed was received by the addressee.”)). Mere denial is insufficient to rebut the presumption. Farris, 365 Fed.Appx. at 200 (citation omitted). “The presumption so arising is not a conclusive presumption of law, but a mere inference of fact[.]” Konst, 71 F.3d at 852 n. 1. BB & T’s regular business practice of mailing account statements to the address designated on the account is undisputed. PI. Resp. SOF at ¶¶ 44-45, thereby creating a rebuttable presumption that the account statements were delivered. As noted, the presumption is created by the proper mailing of the statement. Konst, 71 F.3d at 852. Indeed, Plaintiffs have explicitly pled that the statements for the accounts at issues were sent, albeit to Pro Sports. See FAC at ¶¶ 58 (“BB & T subsequently delivered all statements and correspondence relating to the Group A Accounts to Pro Sports____”), 135 (“BB & T mailed the [Group B Plaintiffs’] statements reflecting those transfers to Pro Sports... ,”). Accordingly, the presumption of receipt is created and, absent a genuine issue of material fact, Pro Sports received the account statements. Plaintiffs characterize the record regarding delivery of the account statements to be sufficiently uncertain to warrant a finding that the presumption has been rebutted. Specifically, Taylor’s account statements for October 2008 and February 2009 were not received by Pro Sports, the address noted on his disputed Signature Card. In addition, Plaintiffs claim that Meriweather’s account statements continued to go to Pro Sports even after a new Signature Card was executed on March 10, 2008, which designated a different address. Finally, as to Gooden, Plaintiffs claim that his November and December 2008 statements were sent to the wrong address. Relying on this evidence pertaining exclusively to Plaintiffs Taylor, Meriweather and Gooden, and only to certain statements, Plaintiffs casually infer that this alone “creates sufficient doubt regarding BB & T’s delivery of statements to Pro Sports,” and extrapolate that “there are likely other statements that Pro Sports did not receive of which Pro Sports was unaware.” PI. Resp., ECF No. [162] at 6. Based on this evidence, the Court finds that only Gooden and Taylor have introduced a material fact which precludes a finding that delivery to Pro Sports occurred. First, BB & T concedes that there is an issue of fact with respect to Gooden’s November- and December 2008 account statements. See BB & T Reply, ECF No. [177] at- 6. Second, the delivery of Taylor’s account statements to an address different than the one designated on his Signature Card creates an issue of fact regarding delivery irrespective of whether the alternate address belonged to Taylor. Taylor’s October 2008 and February 2009 account statements were sent to his home in Southwest Ranches, Florida. For all intents and purposes, this was the,incorrect address: Taylor’s Signature Card designated 6600 N. Andrews Ave., Suite 130, Fort Lauderdale, Florida. See Composite Exhibit “C” to Orrizzi Aff. Because Taylor’s account statements for October 2008 and February 2009 were not “properly addressed,” the presumption of receipt is not raised and Taylor need not offer evidence to rebut it. Konst, 71 F.3d at 851. Lastly, Plaintiffs have failed to introduce evidence to rebut the presumption as to Meriweather. Meriweather points to the fact that a March 10, 2008 Signature Card in Meriweather’s name designated a different address but BankAtlantie continued sending the statements to Pro Sports. Notably, Meriweather disputes the validity of this same March 10, 2008 Signature Card, averring that it is a forgery. See Meriweather Depo. Excerpt, ECF No. [178-1]. Now, for unknown reasons, Meri-weather -professes that BankAtlantie should have been sending his statements to the address on the forged Signature Card and that their failure to do so yields an issue of fact as to the proper delivery of the pertinent account statements. Yet at no point does Meriweather contend that his account statements were not sent to Pro Sports. , Given that Meriweather disputes the authenticity of this March 2008 Signature Card, BankAtlantie properly continued to send the statements to Pro Sports, the address on Meriweather’s valid Signature Card. Thus, this argument is a red herring. The case would be different had the March 2008 Signature Card been Meriweather’s attempt to revoke Pro Sports’ designated receipt of the- account statements. Under that hypothetical, an issue of fact would arise as the account statements were -no longer being sent to the appropriate location. This is not the case, however. It is not disputed that BankAtlantie continued to mail Meriweather’s account statements to Pro Sports at their Fort Lauderdale headquarters. _ Plaintiffs have introduced absolutely no evidence with respect to the account statements of Gaffney, Lewis, Moss, Portis, Sheppard, Anderson, Bell, Holmes, or Kearse, or the remaining statements of Gooden and Taylor., Rather, these remaining Plaintiffs have nonchalantly assumed that limited discrepancies with respect to the aforementioned Plaintiffs should be expanded to the remaining nine and, most notably, the x-emaining four Contracts Plaintiffs. Although all inferences must be drawn in Plaintiffs’ favor, see Davis, 451 F.3d at 763, a mere scintilla of evidence will not support denial of BB & T’s claim; “there must be evidence on which a jury could reasonably find for the plaintiff,” Anderson, 477 U.S. at 252, 106 S.Ct. 2505. “[I]n order to. create a genuine issue of material fact, an inference must be reasonable viewing the record as a whole[.]” Carlin Commc’n, Inc. v. S. Bell Tel. & Tel. Co., 802 F.2d 1352, 1360 (11th Cir.1986). Simply put, when viewing the record as a whole and in the light most favorable to Plaintiffs, the requested inference is untenable and unsupported by the record. The Court will not extrapolate the isolated instances of non-receipt with respect to the account statements of Gooden and Taylor to the remaining account state-merits of other individuals absent at least a semblance of factual support. Thus, Plaintiffs have rebutted the presumption, but only-with respect to Taylor’s October 2008 and February 2009 account statements and Gooden’s November and December 2008 account statements. See Chavez v. Mercantil Commercebank, N.A., No. 10-23244-CIV, 2014 WL 2158417, at *14 (S.D.Fla. May 23, 2014) rev’d in part on other grounds, 601 Fed.Appx. 814 (11th Cir.2015) (based on lack of evidence regarding “affirmative proof of non-receipt,” plaintiff could not rebut presumption that monthly statements were received); Rivera, 420 F.Supp.2d at 1320 (presumption of delivery not rebutted where plaintiffs did not “introducen evidence to substantiate their denial” of receipt); Covina 2000 Ventures Corp. v. Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc., No. 06 CIV. 15497(DLC), 2008 WL 1821738, at *5 (S.D.N.Y., Apr. 21, 2008) aff'd sub nom. Ma v. Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc., 597 F.3d 84 (2d Cir.2010) (granting defendant’s motion for summary judgment where plaintiffs “offered no evidence” to rebut presumption). Plaintiffs contend that the evidence related to Gooden, Taylor, and Meriweather “is just a sampling of the evidence that will be presented at trial.” PI. Resp., ECF No. [162] at 7. It appears that Plaintiffs have lost sight of their burden on summary judgment. Metaphysical doubt as to a material fact is not sufficient to defeat summary judgment. Rather, a non-moving party must produce evidence andv advance specific, supported facts which would suggest that a reasonable factfinder could find in the non-movant’s favor. See Ray, 327 Fed.Appx. at 825; Shiver, 549 F.3d at 1343. Rule 56 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure explicitly notes that “[a] party asserting that a fact cannot be or is genuinely disputed must support the assertion by,” most notably, “citing to particular parts of materials in the record.” Fed. R. Civ. P.. 56(c)(1) (emphasis added). The.Rule gives the-district court permission to consider facts undisputed where the party fails to properly support or address the pertinent assertion. Id. at (e). Apart from the select account statements of Gooden and Taylor, Plaintiffs have failed to engage- this requirement. Accordingly, while a fact question exists with respect to Gooden’s November and December 2008 statements, and Taylor’s October -2008 and February 2009 statements, no such doubt has been introduced with respect to the remaining nine Plaintiffs. The presumption of receipt renders the account statements delivered to Pro Sports. If delivery to Pro Sports was appropriate under the Depositor’s Agreement, then Plaintiffs’ obligation to object was triggered. Indeed, the Court finds that it was. The Court begins its next inquiry by noting that Plaintiffs’ interpretation of the Depositor’s Agreement with respect to the delivery of “items” and “funds transfers” is untenable in both regards. The Depositor’s Agreement requires an objection to be made-no later than thirty days “after your statement and items were received or otherwise made available to you.” Depositor’s Agreement at 15 (emphasis supplied). Based on this language, Plaintiffs assert that BB & T has not set forth that it made the items available to Plaintiffs. See Pl. Resp., ECF No. [162] at 8. However, the plain language of the Depositor’s. Agreement negates Plaintiffs’ argument. The Agreement states that “[c]ancelled checks and other items will be deemed to be made available to you when your statement is made available.” Depositor’s Agreement at 16. Regarding the delivery of account statements, the Agreement provides that if a customer requests BankAtlantic to deliver statements to “another party,” as the Contract Plaintiffs have done here, the customer agrees that BankAtlantic has “made [the customer’s] statements and items available to [the customer] when the statement is issued.” Id, at 15. Thus, when the statement was issued, the items were available, and Plaintiffs cannot now assert that the disputed items were never made available to them. With respect to funds transfers, the Depositor’s Agreement requires the Bank to “provide Customer with an advice of debit of Account and/or a statement of Account, which advice and/or statement will provide Customer with sufficient information to identify a Payment Order.” Id. at 29 (emphasis added). Further, the objection period is triggered “from the date of Customer’s earliest receipt of notification of the Payment Order.” Id. (emphasis added). Emphasizing the use of the word “customer,” Plaintiff contends that the Depositor’s Agreement explicitly required statements to be sent to the “Customer,” and, therefore, delivery to Pro Sports was insufficient. See PI. Resp., ECF NO. [162] at 8-9. While BB & T wholly fails to address this point in its Reply, the Court, nevertheless, considers the issue on its merits and finds Plaintiffs’ construction to be unpersuasive. The term “customer” is defined by the Depositor’s Agreement as the “ac-countholder(s).” See Depositor’s Agreement at 3. “Accountholder,” as the term is used in the Agreement, makes no reference to an agent or other individual with actual or apparent authority. However, this provision, as with many other provisions in the Depositor’s Agreement, requires BankAtlantic to provide the customer with a statement of account and, as soon as this has been accomplished, the customer’s duties to review the statement are triggered. Statements are provided via U.S. mail to the customer’s “last known address as shown on [BankAtlantic’s] records.” Depositor’s Agreement at 15. If the customer designates another party to receive the statement, the customer explicitly agrees that the statements are available when issued. Id. (“If you request us to mail or deliver your statements to another party ... you agree that we have made your statements and items available to you when the statement is issued.”). With respect to funds transfers, the customer “agrees to examine each advice and/or statement promptly upon it being received or made available.” Id. at 29 (emphasis supplied). The Court views the contract in its entirety. See Southern-Owners Ins. Co. v. Hayden, 413 Fed.Appx. 187, 189 (11th Cir.2011) (citing Jones v. Warmack, 967 So.2d 400, 402 (Fla. 1st DCA 2007) (“[U]nder Florida law, we do not read clauses in a contract in isolation; we look to the contract as a whole.”). Pursuant to the Depositor’s Agreement, where a customer has designated another individual to receive statements, like the Contract Plaintiffs have admittedly done here, they cannot circumvent their responsibility to object by asserting that the statements were never received or made available to them. In sum, although Gooden and Taylor have presented a factual issue as to the delivery of specific account statements, the remaining Plaintiffs have failed to do so. Therefore, the Contracts Plaintiffs were obligated to object to any unauthorized activity within the period designated by the Depositor’s Agreement. The latest disputed 'check or withdrawal is dated April 13, 2011, and the latest disputed wire transfer occurred on April 19, 2011. The Depositor’s Agreement imposes a thirty-day objection period for items and a one-year objection period of funds transfers. See Depositor’s Agreement at 15, 29. Thus, the Depositor’s Agreement established deadlines of May 13, 2011, and April 19, 2012, in which the Contract Plaintiffs were obligated to object to unauthorized items and funds transfers, respectively. According to BB & T, it was not provided with notice in any respect until counsel received a spreadsheet of disputed transactions in February 2013, well after the aforementioned deadlines. See Composite Exhibit “27” to BB- & T’s SOF (hereinafter, “February 2013 Spreadsheet”). Thus, BB & T asserts that the Depositor’s Agreement bars all claims for want of notice. In response, Plaintiffs seemingly dispute the admissibility of the February 2013 Spreadsheet, stating that it is “not of record and is hearsay.” See PI. Resp. SOF at ¶42. Ultimately, the date the spreadsheet was delivered is of no' consequence; Plaintiffs make no claim that they objected to the disputed transactions within the appropriate time period. To their detriment, Plaintiffs utterly fail to address their obligation to object, implicitly conceding the point. See generally Melendez v. Town of Bay Harbor Islands, No. 14-22383-CIV, 2014 WL 6682535, at *7 (S.D.Fla. Nov. 25, 2014) (conceding that punitive damages were not recoverable by failing to address argument in responsive brief); Brady v. Medtronic, Inc., No. 13-CV-62199-RNS, 2014 WL 1377830, at *6 (S.D.Fla. Apr. 8, 2014) (conceding claims were subject to dismissal by failing to address defendant’s argument in plaintiffs opposition to the motion to dismiss); Slugocki v. U.S. By & Through Dep’t of Labor, Office of Workers’ Comp. Programs, Div. of Fed. Employees’ Comp., 988 F.Supp. 1443, 1447 (S.D.Fla.1997) (“[Plaintiff] appears to concede as much when he fails to address this argument anywhere in his Response brief.”). “A litigant who fails to press a point by supporting it with pertinent authority, or. by showing why it is sound despite a lack of supporting authority or in the face of contrary authority, forfeits the point. [The Court] will not do his research for him.” Pelfresne v. Vill. of Williams Bay, 917 F.2d 1017, 1023 (7th Cir.1990) (Posner, J.) (internal citations omitted). Indeed, Plaintiffs’ entire argument is directed at BB ’& T’s failure to provide account statements, an argument which this Court has rejected. Nevertheless, the Court has combed the record and is unable to identify a modicum of " evidence which would support the conclusion that the Plaintiffs ever furnished an objection to the disputed transactions. As a last resort, Plaintiffs appear to assert in their Response in Opposition to BB- & T’s Statement of Facts, ECF No. [163], that the tolling agreements executed between Plaintiffs and BB & T in October 2012 somehow obviate Plaintiffs’ heed to object. The tolling agreements acknowledge that the respective Plaintiff intends “to file a complaint on behalf of [Plaintiff] setting forth alleged claims [] against Bank related to a Breach of fiduciary duty regarding the alleged unauthorized and fraudulent transfer of Plaintiffs monies from his bank accounts at the behest and direction of Jeffrey Rubin.” See Tolling Agreements, ECF No. [105-1] at 39-72, 90-114. At no point do the tolling agreements indicate that Plaintiffs properly provided notice. In fact, the tolling agreements explicitly acknowledge that BB & T does not “waive any defenses, including the Time Defenses, that may exist as of the Effective Date.” Nee id. “Time Defenses” are defined by the agreements as “the statute of limitations, estoppél, laches, or any other defense to the Claims based on the passage of time.” Id. (emphasis added). Thus, the execution of the tolling agreements does not eliminate Plaintiffs’ need to object under the Depositor’s Agreement. . , The record is utterly devoid of any evidence that the Plaintiffs ever timely objected to the unauthorized transfers. Plaintiffs offer no evidence to challenge BB & T’s assertion that it was first provided notice of the objections in the February 2013 Spreadsheet. Accordingly, summary judgment is granted in favor of BB & T on Count II for the Contract Plaintiffs’ failure to object within the time period required by the Depositor’s Agreement. b. Notice Requirements under U.C.C. Articles 4 and 4A BB & T also asserts that Articles 4 and 4A of the U.C.C. preclude the -Contract Plaintiffs’ claims,.with Article 4 acting to bar claims stemming from Plaintiffs’ “items” or checks, and Article 4A prohibiting claims resulting from unauthorized “funds, transfers” or,wires. BB & T is correct as, notwithstanding the Depositor’s Agreement, the Contract Plaintiffs’ breach of contract claim is susceptible to judgment under the relevant provisions of the U.C.C. Akin to the time limitations imposed by the Depositor’s Agreement, the U.C'.C. imposes a duty on a customer to report disputed transactions, provided the customer; has received notice of the same. See Fla. Stat.§§ 674.406(6) (items), 670.505 (funds transfers). Under § 674.406, the customer is obligated to review account statements and provide the bank with notice of objectionable activity. See Fla. Stat. § 674.406(3) (requiring customer to “exercise reasonable promptness in examining the statement or the items to determine whether- any payment was not authorized’;’ and “promptly notify, the bank of the-relevant facts”); see also Cheese & Grill Rest., Inc. v. Wachovia Bank, N.A., 970 So.2d 372, 375 (Fla. 3d DCA 2007) (citation omitted) (noting that U.C.C, “placets] the burden of reviewing statements and controlling the transmittal of signed checks upon the customer”). The Code provides an absolute preclusion against liability where the customer fails to fulfill their, duty to review and report disputed items, stating, Without regard to care or lack of care of either the customer or the bank, a customer who does not within 180 days after the statement or items are made available to the customer (subsection (1)) discover and report 'the customer’s unauthorized signature on or any alteration on the item or who does not, within 1 year after that time, discover and report any unauthorized endorsement is precluded from asserting against the bank the unauthorized signature or alteration. Fla. Stat. § 674.406(6) (emphasis supplied); see also Redland Co. v. Bank of Am. Corp., 568 F.3d 1232, 1235 (11th Cir.2009) (“Under Florida law, the customer has an obligation to examine bank statements and notify the bank of any claimed- errors or unauthorized activity.” (internal quotation, citation, and formatting omitted)); Lamm v. State St. Bank & Trust Co., 889 F.Supp.2d 1321, 1330 n. 9 (S.D.Fla.2012) aff'd sub nom. Lamm v. State St. Bank & Trust, 749 F.3d 938 (11th Cir.2014) (“The customer’s failure to provide the bank with timely notice constitutes a- complete defense to claims based on the unauthorized itéms.”); Lowenstein v. Barnett Bank of S. Florida, N.A., 789 So.2d 1012, 1013-14 (Fla. 3d DCA 1998) opinion clarified, 720 So.2d 596 (Fla. 3d DCA 1998) (citation omitted) (“As mandated by section 674.406, the customer had an obligation to examine bank statements and notify the bank within one year of any claimed errors. The customer’s failure to timely discover and report the forgeries bars his claim as a matter of law.”). Similarly, § 670.505 prohibits a customer from recovering on an unauthorized funds transfer if the customer fails to object within one year of receiving notice: If a receiving bank has received payment from its customer with respect to a payment order issued in the name of the customer as sender and accepted by the bank, and the customer received notification reasonably identifying the order, the customer is precluded from asserting that , the bank is not entitled to retain the payment unless the customer notifies the bank of the customer’s objection to the payment within 1 year after the notification was re: ceived by the customer. Fla. Stat. § 670.505 (emphasis added). The Official Comment to § 670.505 notes that the provision “is in the nature of a statute of repose,” and acts as an absolute bar where the customer “has not objected to the debiting of the account within one year after the customer received notification of the debit.” Id. As with the Depositor’s Agreement, BB & T contends that none of the Contract Plaintiffs properly provided notice under either § 674.406 or § 670.505 within the requisite time frame. i. U.C.C. Article 4 In response to BB & T’s contention, Plaintiffs assert the same defense, arguing that there exist fact issues with respect to the delivery of the account statements that otherwise precludes judgment on this issue at this time. As previously noted, the Contract Plaintiffs have categorically failed to introduce evidence with respect to improper or inconsistent delivery. .For the same reasons stated before — to the exclusion of Gooden and- .Taylor — the Court finds that Plaintiffs have failed to rebut the presumption of delivery and the.notice requirements were triggered for the remaining Plaintiffs. Plaintiffs opt not to address whether notification was timely provided each Plaintiff and have, therefore, conceded the point. The Court is, nonetheless, -required to review the record. See S.D. Fla. L.R. 56.1(b) (stating that facts may be “deemed admitted ... provided that the Court finds that the movant’s statement is supported by evidence in the record”); see also United States v. One Piece of Real Prop. Located at 5800 /SW 74th Ave., Miami, Fla., 363. F.3d 1099, 1103 n. 6 (11th Cir.2004). Consistent - with this Court’s earlier determination that Plaintiffs have failed to introduce any evidence that they timely objected to the disputed items and transfers, BB & T is entitled to summary judgment. ii. U.C.C. Article 4A Plaintiffs present two arguments in trying to escape the one-year objection requirement of § 670.505, both of which are unpersuasive. First, Plaintiffs challenge BankAtlantic’s security procedures, asserting that it either did not maintain a valid funds transfer security procedure or, alternatively, an unreasonable one. Next, Plaintiffs assert that the one-year respose period in § 670.505 cannot apply because Plaintiffs never received notice. Generally, the bank bears the risk of loss of any unauthorized funds transfer: If a receiving bank accepts a payment order issued in the name of its customer as sender which is not authorized and not effective as the order of the customer under s. 670.202 or is not enforceable, in whole or in part, against the customer under s. 670.203, the bank shall refund any payment of the payment order received from the customer to the extent the bank is not entitled to enforce payment and shall pay interest on the refundable amount calculated from the date the bank received payment to the date of the refund. Fla. Stat. § 670.204(1) (emphasis added). The Official Comment to § 670.204 notes that the provision only applies to cases in which, among other things, “no commercially reasonable security procedure is in effect.” Id. at cmt 1. Thus, where there exists a commercially reasonable security procedure, the bank will be insulated from liability. See id.; Regatos v. N. Fork Bank, 257 F.Supp.2d 632, 643 (S.D.N.Y. 2003) (“If no security procedure is in place, the customer has an absolute right to recover. If a security procedure is in place, and it is followed, the bank is absolved from loss. But if a security procedure is in place and the bank fails to follow it, then that is as good as no security procedure at all: the loss reverts to the bank and the customer has an absolute right to recover. This allocation of loss is so integral to the structure of Article 4A that it may not be varied by contract.”). However, § 670.202, referenced above, provides two circumstances where the bank may shift the risk of loss to the customer: (1) where the “payment order received ... is the authorized order of the person identified as sender if that person authorized the order or is otherwise bound by it under the law of agency”; or (2) where the bank and customer have agreed to a security procedure and the bank acted in good faith. See Fla. Stat. § 670.202(l)-(2). Ultimately, these provisions are irrelevant, so long as the bank has properly provided notice of the debit, the repose period in § 670.505 is triggered. BB & T’s argument is limited to the one-year objection period. As noted, § 670.505 operates as a statute of repose and eradicates the customer’s ability to recover where the customer has received notice but has not objected to the debiting of the account within one year. See Fla. Stat. § 670.505 cmt. (“Under 4A-505, however, the obligation to refund may not be asserted by the customer if the customer has not objected to the debiting of the account within one year after the customer received notification of the debit.”). Section 670.202 is only implicated when the customer has received notice and has properly objected. Thus, the question presented is not one of whether the payment order was authorized but, rather, whether Plaintiffs received notice of the disputed debits. Thus, the arguments pertaining to BB & T’s security procedures are not relevant where the Plaintiffs have properly received notice and have failed to object. To resolve the real issue, the Court is presented with a question of statutory interpretation, specifically, with respect to the delivery of account statements and what manner of delivery will suffice in order to trigger the applicable limitations or repose period in which a customer is obligated to object. Plaintiffs contend that BB & T seeks to expand § 670.505 to reach situations where notice has merely been provided to the customer’s agent, and not the customer themselves. Neither Florida nor any court in this Circuit has spoken to the issue. As such, this Court examines the definitional provisions of the U.C.C. The U.C.C. defines “customer” as “a person, including a bank, having an account with a bank or from whom a bank has agreed to receive payment orders.” Fla. Stat. § 670.105(l)(c). Viewing this language in a vacuum, it would appear that notice to the “customer,” as the term is used in § 670.505, would require notice to the accountholder. However, the U.C.C. also sets forth when an individual “receives a notice or notification.” Under § 671.201, a person gives notice to another “by taking such steps as maybe reasonably required to inform the other person in ordinary course, whether or not the other person actually comes to know of it.” Fla. Stat. § 671,201(26). More critically, “a person ‘receives’ a notice or notification when: (a) [i]t comes to that person’s attention; or (b) [i]t is duly delivered in a form reasonable under the circumstances at the place of business through which the contract was made or at another location held out by that person as the place for receipt of such communications.” Id. (emphasis added); see also Fla. Stat. § 671.209(5) (mirroring § 671.201(26)). Confining the use of the phrase “customer” to the actual customer would require the Court to neglect the remaining provisions of the U.C.C. Plaintiffs’ cited authority is distinguishable from the facts presentéd here. At issue in Gold v. Merrill Lynch & Go., Inc. were five transfers between 2005 and 2007, made by the plaintiffs wife by forging the plaintiffs signature. See No. 09-318-PHX-JAT, 2009 WL 2132698 (D.Ariz.- July 14, 2009). Discovering the transfers ■ in 2008, the plaintiff objected and sought to recover the funds. Id. In response, the bank sought dismissal pursuant to U.C.C. § 4A505. Id. Determining “that the requirement of actual notice best comports with both the language of the statutes and the Official Comments of the U.C.C.,” the District of Arizona summarily rejected the bank’s contention that mailing the account statements was sufficient to demonstrate notice “at [that] time.” Id. (emphasis added). The Gold decision was on a motion to dismiss and, accordingly, the court was prohibited from considering extraneous evidence. See id. Indeed, the Gold court noted that it lacked “sufficient evidence at this point that the Plaintiff had actual notice of the unauthorized withdrawals.” Id. (emphasis added). Where the Gold court found that factual issues obviated the court’s ability to assess whether the plaintiff had ■ received notice, no, such factual issues are. present here,. The Contract Plaintiffs have not introduced any evidence that would create a genuine issue of material fact as to whether their designated agent actually received the pertinent account statements. Next, the court in Gold found that the Official Comment to U.C.C. § 4A-204 warranted the conclusion it reached with respect to U.C.C. § 4A-505. Id. The Official Comment to U.C.C. § 4A-204 does, in fact, note that while § 4A-204 “is designed to encourage a customer to promptly notify the receiving bank that it has accepted an unauthorized payment order, ...- [tjhere is no intention to impose a duty on the customer that might result in shifting loss from the unauthorized order to the customer,” Gold, 2009 WL 2132698 (citing U.C.C. § 4A-204 cmt.). Without further explanation or reference, the court de-dueed that “[t]his goal must be considered when .determining whether a customer has properly ‘received notification’ under both [U.C.C. § 4A-204] and. [U.C.C. § 4A-505].” Id. The. Official Comment to U.C.C. § 4A-505, however, notes that “the obligation to refund may not be asserted by the customer if the pustomer has not objected to the debiting of the account within one year after the customer received notification of the debit.” Generally, a statute of repose acts as a complete bar regardless of the circumstances. 'See Black’s Law Dictionary (10th ed.2014) (defining “statute of repose” as “[á] statute barring any suit that is brought after a specified time since the defendant acted ... even if this period ends before the plaintiff has suffered a resulting injury”). Although the drafters clearly did not intend “to impose" a duty on the customer which would result in shifting loss to the customer” under § 4A-204, the drafters included a statute of repose to advance finality and placed the repose period well beyond- the ninety-day notification period in § 4A-204. Regatos v. N. Fork Bank, 257 F.Supp.2d 632 (S.D.N.Y.2003) is also distinguishable. While the court held that actual,- not constructive, notice was required and this requirement could not -be varied .by agreement, the case did not unequivocally answer whether notification to an agent could constitute “actual notice.”. See id. at 645-46. The bank in Regatos entered into a “hold mail” agreement with the plaintiff, retaining statements until they were specifically requested by the plaintiff. See id. Thus, the plaintiff never received his account statements, through an agent or otherwise. Id. at 645-46 (“Regatos’ monthly statements were not sent to him. Rather, pursuant to [the] ‘hold mail’ agreemen
