  (b) A copy of any safe deposit rental agreement, or personal property safekeeping and storage agreement, which is prepared by the bank or trust company and signed by the customer shall be delivered to the customer at the time the agreement is signed if the agreement is signed at a place of business of the bank or trust company. If the agreement is not signed at a place of business of the bank or trust company, the bank or trust company shall mail or deliver a copy of the agreement to the customer within 10 calendar days after the bank or trust company receives it. The contract shall not contain any blank spaces to be filled in after the customer signs the contract. If more than one customer has signed the agreement, the bank or trust company may comply with this section by mailing or delivering the copy to any one of the customers who reside at the same address. A copy shall also be mailed or delivered to any other customer who has signed the agreement and who does not reside at the same address. As used in this section, "copy" means a reproduction, facsimile, or duplicate. A bank or trust company which fails to comply with this section is liable to its customer for any actual damages suffered by the customer as a result of that failure. The remedy provided by this section is nonexclusive and is in addition to any remedies or penalties available under other laws of this state.
