   SUMMARY ORDER

Donald Wechsler appeals from the judgment of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Furman, J.), dismissing as untimely his complaint against HSBC Bank USA, N.A. We assume the parties’ familiarity with the underlying facts, the pi’ocedural history, and the issues presented for review.

Wechsler claims that HSBC improperly charged maintenance fees on his savings account. He alleges breach of contract and violations of the New York Deceptive Practices Act (“NYDPA”).

The parties agree that the following clause (the “Limitations Clause”) purports to apply to Wechsler’s account:

You agree to make any claim or bring any legal action relating to the Bank’s handling of your account ... within one (1) year of the date the problem occurred .... You agree that if the problem involves a series of events, such as a number of forgeries over a period of time, then the date the first event occurred shall be the date by which the period to make any claim or bring any legal action shall begin to run.

J. App’x at 98. Because Wechsler’s first overcharge occurred on January 31, 2014, and he did not file his lawsuit until July 28, 2015, the district court held that the Limitations Clause made Wechsler’s claim untimely, and granted HSBC’s motion to dismiss. We review de novo a district court’s dismissal pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6). Faulkner v. Beer, 463 F.3d 130, 133 (2d Cir. 2006).

1. “An agreement which modifies the Statute of Limitations by specifying a shorter, but reasonable, period within which to commence an action is enforceable.” Executive Plaza, LLC v. Peerless Ins. Co., 22 N.Y.3d 511, 518, 982 N.Y.S.2d 826, 5 N.E.3d 989 (2014) (quoting John J. Kassner & Co. v. City of New York, 46 N.Y.2d 544, 551, 415 N.Y.S.2d 785, 389 N.E.2d 99 (1979)) (alteration omitted). Reasonableness is considered “in view of the circumstances of each particular case.” Id. at 519, 982 N.Y.S.2d 826, 5 N.E.3d 989. In general, New York courts have found one-year limitations clauses to be reasonable. See Corbett v. Firstline Sec., Inc., 687 F.Supp.2d 124, 128 (E.D.N.Y. 2009) (collecting cases). Nonetheless, Wechsler argues that the circumstances of this case would render application of the Limitations Clause to his claim unreasonable.

Specifically, Wechsler contends.that application of the Limitations Clause would allow HSBC to continue to levy illegal maintenance fees, and Wechsler would not be able to sue to stop these future violations. That might be, but the limitation on suit to which Wechsler agreed is not unreasonable. Nothing prevented Wechsler from filing his lawsuit within a year of the first maintenance fee. Indeed, Wechsler concedes that he called HSBC to complain about the maintenance fees within the one-year limitations period,’ and that the bank asserted that it had the right to assess such fees. Soon after this call, HSBC assessed another maintenance fee on Wech-sler’s account. That charge occurred a month before the year expired. We fail to see any unique circumstance in this case that would defeat the normal rule that one-year limitation periods are reasonable.

2. Wechsler argues that the Limitations Clause should not be measured from the first overcharge (January 2014) because HSBC did not charge him a maintenance fee for a three-to-five month period in the middle of his one-year window for filing suit. This gap, Wechsler contends, made it unclear whether his maintenance fees were a “series of events” within the meaning of the Limitations Clause. If they were not, Wechsler argues, his claims would be timely.

There is no such lack of clarity. The fee was first charged to Wechsler in January 2014. In December 2014, he called HSBC to complain about identical charges that had occurred in the interim. During that call, HSBC asserted its right to assess such fees, and the bank charged Wechsler again approximately one week later. The charges obviously are all part of a single “series of events” that first began in January 2014. Wechsler failed to bring suit within a year of that first charge, and he consequently lost his right to challenge the maintenance fees in court.

For the foregoing reasons, and finding no merit in Wechsler’s other arguments, we hereby AFFIRM the judgment of the district court. 
      
      . The parties agree that New York law governs the dispute.
     
      
      . The parties dispute the scope of this argument and whether Wechsler failed to raise it in the district court, thereby forfeiting it on appeal. See Singleton v. Wulff, 428 U.S. 106, 120, 96 S.Ct. 2868, 49 L.Ed.2d 826 (1976), Because we reject Wechsler's argument on the merits, we need not consider whether it was forfeited.
