5. REMOTE DEPOSIT CAPTURE (MOBILE DEPOSIT SERVICES).
A. Statement of Service. RDC allows you to make deposits to your accounts remotely by scanning both sides of checks and delivering the images and associated deposit information to the Credit Union or the Credit Union’s designated third- party service provider. The scanned images are transmitted to the Credit Union through a specified protocol and, those images that satisfy the terms and conditions of this Agreement, are credited to your account. You must provide legible images of the checks to be deposited and the checks must otherwise be eligible for deposit as if they were being presented in person for deposit at a physical Credit Union branch.
B. Security Procedures. You will complete each deposit promptly. If you are unable to complete your deposit promptly, you will ensure that your mobile device remains securely in your possession until the deposit has been completed. It is your responsibility to establish and maintain procedures to safeguard against unauthorized deposits. You will notify the Credit Union immediately by telephone: 1-800-204-0596 and may be asked to provide written confirmation if you learn of any loss or theft of original checks. You will ensure the safety and integrity of original checks from the time of receipt until the time of destruction.
C. Eligible Items and Images. You represent and warrant to the Credit Union with respect to each check (“Check”) or image (“Image”), that: i. You will only scan and deposit check(s) as that term is defined in Federal Reserve Board Regulation CC (“Reg CC”), which are payable to You. You agree that the image of the check that is transmitted to the Credit Union (each such check and other item a “Check” or “Image” and, if more than one, “Checks” or “Images”) shall be deemed an “item” within the meaning of Article 4 of the Uniform Commercial Code (1990 Official Text); ii. Any Image you transmit will meet the standards for image quality established by the American national standards Institute (“ANSI”) or other applicable standards established by the Credit Union, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and any other applicable regulatory agency, clearing house or association; iii. Any information you transmit to the Credit Union accurately represents all of the information on the front and back of any Check as of the time such Check was truncated, including without limitation: payment instructions placed on the check by, or as authorized by, the drawer, such as the amount of the Check, the payee, the drawer’s signature; the information identifying the drawer and the paying bank that is preprinted on the Check, including the MICR line; and any other information placed on the Check prior to the time an image of the Check is captured, such as any required identification written on the front of the Check and any endorsements applied to the back of the Check; and iv. You shall not attempt nor permit duplicate presentment of a Check in any form, including as an Imaged Item, a paper negotiable instrument or otherwise and you will not deposit or otherwise negotiate the original Item(s) from which the Image(s) was created. That no subsequent transferee, including but not limited to the Credit Union, a collecting or returning bank, drawer, drawee, payee or endorser, (i) will be asked to pay the original Item from which the Image(s) was created or a duplication (whether paper or electronic, including ACH entries) of the Item(s), or (ii) shall sustain a loss as the result of the fact that the Image was presented for payment or returned instead of the original Check/Item. v. You will only transmit checks payable to you. If you are engaged or intend to engage in any business that would result in your being classified as a “money service business” (“MSB”) as defined in the Federal Bank Secrecy Act and its implementing regulations, you agree to immediately notify the Credit Union of same, and agree that the Credit Union at its sole discretion may refuse to provide or terminate (as applicable) this Service. vi. Any Third Party Agent utilized by you is familiar with, and shall at all times be in compliance with the terms hereof, including without limitation, image quality, prohibition of duplicate items, and proper storage and destruction of original checks.
D. Prohibited Checks. You agree that, unless we specifically agree otherwise in writing, you may not use the Service to deposit: i. Checks or items payable to any person or entity other than you (i.e., payable to another party and then endorsed to you or payable to cash); ii. Checks or items containing obvious alteration to any of the fields on the front of the check or item, or which you know, or suspect, or should know or suspect, are fraudulent or otherwise not authorized by the owner of the account on which the check or item is drawn; iii. Checks that are irregular in any way (e.g., where the numerical and written amounts are different); iv. Checks or items previously converted to a substitute check, as defined in Reg CC (i.e., paper checks created from an electronic image); v. Checks or items that you know or have reason to believe are fraudulent or otherwise not authorized by the owner of the account on which the check is drawn; vi. Checks or items that you have any reason to believe will not be paid by the institution on which it is drawn; vii. Checks or items that are demand drafts or remotely created checks as defined in Reg CC (i.e., checks lacking the original signature of the drawer); viii.

Checks or items that are postdated or more than six (6) months old; xi. Checks or items payable to “Cash”; xii.

Money Orders; xv. Traveler’s checks; xvi. Savings bonds; xvii. Un-encoded checks; or xviii. Checks or items prohibited by the Credit Union’s procedures relating to the Services or which are not otherwise acceptable under the terms of your account. Paper originals must be endorsed before being scanned. The images of Items you send us will be sufficiently inclusive and high quality to permit us to satisfy all pertinent requirements of the following: the Check 21 Act, 12 USC 5001, et seq.; all related laws or regulations; all other state or federal laws and regulations; The American National Standards Institute; The Electronic Check Clearing House Organization; and all other clearing houses or associations.
E. Endorsement Requirements. Endorsements must be made on the back of the Check within 1 ½ inches from the top edge, although the Credit Union may accept endorsements outside this space. Your endorsement MUST include your signature and “FOR MOBILE DEPOSIT ONLY AT CHAMPION CREDIT UNION”. Any loss the Credit Union incurs from a delay or processing error resulting from an irregular endorsement or other markings by you will be your responsibility. A check payable to two payees on your account must be endorsed by both payees if the check is payable to you and your joint owner.
F. Processing. All images processed for deposit through RDC will be treated as “deposits” under your current membership agreement with the Credit Union and will be subject to all terms of your membership agreement with the Credit Union. When the Credit Union receives an Image, the Credit Union will confirm receipt via email to you (the email will be sent to the email address registered with your account). The Credit Union shall not be deemed to have received the image for deposit until the Credit Union confirms receipt to you. Confirmation does not mean that the Image contains no errors and is accepted by the Credit Union for deposit. G. Receipt of File. You acknowledge and agree that you shall remain liable for and that the Credit Union shall not be accountable to you for any Image that is not received by the Credit Union and for an Image that is intercepted or altered by an unauthorized third party. You acknowledge and agree that the Credit Union has no obligation to accept an Image and therefore may reject any Images submitted by you. The Credit Union has no obligation to notify you of the rejection of an Image. The Credit Union shall have no liability to you for rejection of any Image(s) or for failure to notify you of a rejection. Upon receipt of the Image submitted by You, the Credit Union may examine the Image to ensure that you have followed the procedures set forth herein. If you have not followed the procedures or if errors exist in the data or the Images, the Credit Union, in its sole discretion, may reject and not accept the entire Image. Notwithstanding the fact that the Credit Union has accepted an Image for deposit, any credit made to your account shall be provisional and you shall remain liable to the Credit Union for any errors, inaccuracies, breach of warranties and any other loss sustained by or claim made against the Credit Union on the part of any party. The Credit Union reserves the right to refuse to process or reject any Image for any reason at its sole discretion. H. Provisional Credit and Availability of Funds. Upon acceptance of the Image, the Credit Union shall grant your account Provisional Credit, defined below, for the total amount shown on the Image. “Provisional Credit” means that the credit is made to your account subject to final payment of the Items and subject to the terms of account agreement with the Credit Union. For the purpose of determining availability of funds, the Credit Union may hold funds for the period of time permitted by the Credit Union’s funds availability disclosure. Checks will only be processed on Business Days. Business Days are Monday through Friday, except holidays (“Business Days”).
I. Maintenance and Destruction of Original Item. You shall securely store all original Checks for a period of fifteen (15) days after you have received notice from the Credit Union that the Check has been accepted (the “Retention Period”). During the Retention Period, you must make the original Check accessible to the Credit Union, upon request by the Credit Union. Upon the Credit Union’s request, from time to time, you will deliver to the Credit Union, within forty-eight (48) hours of such request and at your expense, the requested original Check in your possession. If not provided in a timely manner, such amount will be reversed from your account. You shall destroy, after marking such Checks “VOID”, original Checks upon the expiration of the Retention Period applicable to such Checks. You agree that you will never re-present the original Check. You understand that you are responsible if anyone is asked to make payment based on an original Check that has already been paid.
J. Requested Information. You agree to provide such information as requested by the Credit Union in order to qualify you for the Service, including without limitation, providing information and Images as requested by the Credit Union to facilitate investigations related to unusual transactions or poor quality transmissions or to resolve disputes. Such documents may include copies of Images or original items, if available.
K. Failed Deposits. If a Check fails to process through RDC, you may bring the Check to the nearest Credit Union location for processing. There are limitations to the Checks the Credit Union will accept: i. A Check with a restrictive endorsement in another institutions name will not be accepted, you will need to contact the issuer for a new check. ii. A Check having a restrictive endorsement with the Credit Union listed may be processed with an extended hold (up to 15 days) placed on it. iii. A Check having a restrictive endorsement and no financial institution listed may be processed with an extended hold (up to 15 days) placed on it.
L. Returned Checks. Any credit to your account for Checks deposited using RDC is a Provisional Credit to your account. The Credit Union will process any returned Checks in accordance with applicable law and the deposit account agreement governing your account with the Credit Union for which the Check is presented. If Checks previously deposited by you are dishonored and returned unpaid by the drawee bank or are returned by a clearing agent for any reason, including but not limited to issues relating to the quality of the Image, you understand and agree that, since you either maintain the original Check or have destroyed the original Check in accordance with this Agreement, that the original Check cannot be returned to you and the Credit Union may charge back an Image of the Check to your checking account. You understand and Agree that the Image may be in the form of an electronic or paper reproduction of the original Check or a substitute check, but not the paper originals. Unless otherwise instructed by the Credit Union, you agree not to deposit the original Check if an Image or other debit as previously described is charged back to you. Return items are processed the same way as they would be for a check that was imaged. You will reimburse the Credit Union for all loss, cost, damage or expense caused by or relating to the processing of the returned item. The Credit Union may debit any of your accounts to obtain payment for any item that has been rejected or returned, for any adjustment related to such item or for any warranty claim related to such item, whether or not the rejection, return, adjustment or warranty claim was made timely.
M. Indemnification and Liability; Third Party Claims. In addition to any other indemnification herein, you hereby indemnify and agree to reimburse, protect, defend and hold the Credit Union and each of its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents harmless from and against, all actions, causes of action, claims, damages, loss, liabilities, including without limitation all incidental and consequential damages, and all reasonable out-of- pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of any nature or kind (including those by third parties) arising directly or indirectly from: (a) any breach of warranty or other breach, or failure to by you under the terms of this Agreement; (b) your use of the Services; (c) any warranty or indemnity claim brought against the Credit Union by a third party under 12 CFR 229.52, 12 CFR 229,53 or other regulations in connection with a Check transmitted to the Credit Union by you; (d) any wrongful acts or omissions of you or any person acting on your behalf in connection with your use of the Service provided, however, you are not obligated to indemnify the Credit Union for any damages solely and proximately caused by Credit Union’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The terms of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Subject to any regulatory or Credit Union imposed limitations on usage, you can arrange for the payment of your bill from a Credit Union checking account. Access to the Bill Payment service is made available pursuant to a license agreement by and between the Credit Union and iPay. Any interruption of service or access caused by the Credit Union or iPay may prevent your use of the service. To utilize the services, you will need to enter your username and password and satisfy the system’s security procedures, including multi-factor authentication.
A. Requirements to use the Bill Payment Service. i. Account. In order to use the Bill Payment service, you understand that you must have a qualified checking account with the Credit Union and be enrolled in our Online Banking Service. You must designate the Account(s) from which Bill Payments are to be made. By using Bill Payment, you agree that, based upon instructions received under your Password, we can charge your designated Account(s) by debiting and remitting funds on your behalf. Bill payments may be only processed using your designated bill pay Account. You may have multiple designated bill pay checking accounts, but each one must have its own payee list. ii. Payees. You must designate the complete name of the Payee, the Payee account number, the Payee Telephone Number and the Payee's remittance address, all exactly as shown on the billing statement or invoice. It is your responsibility to manage your Payee List and maintain accurate Payee information, such as, but not limited to, the address to which the Payee specifies Payments are to be delivered, your account number with the Payee, the name on your account with the Payee, the Payee's phone number and the name of account holder at the Payee. We reserve the right to refuse to pay any Payee designated by you. If we do so, we will notify you promptly. You hereby agree and authorize us to utilize the most effective means to process your transaction, including, without limitation, electronic, paper, or other draft means. You may pay any Payee within the United States in U.S. Dollars. You may not use the Bill Payment service to make payments to a federal, state or local governmental or tax unit, or to pay child-support or alimony. iii. Bill Payments. Bill Payments may be entered on the single payment, recurring payments or multiple payment screens. Using any of these screens, you must enter a payment date or start and end date, depending on the type of payment, for your bill payment. Bill Payments are scheduled by you to be debited from your bill pay account based on the date(s) you enter on one of the bill payment screens. In scheduling Bill Payments, do not use the bill due date as the payment schedule date. If you submit an electronic payment, sufficient funds must be available at the time the payment is processed and posted from your account. If the Payee is to be paid by paper check (as indicated on the Bill Payment Payee List), you understand and agree that paper checks are mailed to the Payee and the Payee may not receive the Bill Payment until 5 to 8 business days after the date the payment schedule date. Bill Payments processed by check will be printed with your designated account number, and sufficient funds must be available at the time the bill payment is processed. If the Payee is to be paid electronically (as indicated on the Bill Payment Payee List), you understand and agree that the Payee may not receive the Bill Payment until up to three (3) days after the date the payment scheduled date. The funds will come out of the designated account on the payment scheduled date. If you do not allow sufficient time, you will assume full responsibility for all late fees, finance charges, or other actions taken by the payee. You should carefully consider factors such as the Payee's due date for payment, grace period, whether the Payee’s due date for payment falls on a non-Business Day and other factors when scheduling a Bill Payment to avoid late payments and late fees. If the Payee is not set up for electronic payments or cannot receive electronic payments, the Bill Payment to such Payee will be processed by check rather than electronically. iv. Monitoring. You are responsible for monitoring the Bill Pay activity to verify that you did not have a payment that was not processed due to insufficient funds in your account. If you do have a payment that failed because of insufficient funds in your account, you are responsible for either making alternate arrangements for the payment or rescheduling the payment through Bill Pay, after ensuring that you have the sufficient funds to cover the Bill Pay amount. v. Delivery. You understand and agree that we are not responsible for the timely delivery of mail or the improper transmission or handling of Bill Payments by a third party such as the failure of the Payee to properly post a Bill Payment to your account with the Payee. vi. Cut-Off Time. Bill Payments made after the cut-off time will be processed on the following Business day. The cut-off time on each Business day is 4:00 pm Central Time. If you schedule a Bill Payment for a date that is not a Business day, the payment will be processed on the following Business day. The Credit Union reserves the right to change the cut-off time and cancellation time. You will receive notice in advance of any changes.
B. Recurring Payments. Bill Payments you setup as recurring are automatically rescheduled by the Bill Payment Service. Based upon your selected frequency settings for the Bill Payment, a process date is calculated for the next occurrence of the Bill Payment. If the calculated process date is not a Business day, it is adjusted based upon the following rules: i. If the recurring Bill Payment's "Pay Before" option is selected, the process date for the new occurrence of the Bill Payment is adjusted to the first Business day prior to the calculated date; ii. If the recurring Bill Payment's "Pay After" option is selected, the process date for the new occurrence of the Bill Payment is adjusted to the first Business day after the calculated date. iii. If a Bill Payment Frequency day of the 29th, 20th or 31st is selected and that day does not exist for a particular month in which the bill is being paid, then the last calendar day of that month is used as the calculated payment date.
C. Returned Payments. In using the Bill Payment Service, you understand that Bill Payments may be returned by or to the Credit Union for various reasons including (but not limited to) the: i. Account or account number at the Payee is not valid, ii. Payee address is not valid, iii. Payee returns or rejects the remittance item, or iv. Account at the Payee has been paid in full or has been turned over to another company or individual. The Credit Union shall use commercially reasonable efforts to research and correct the returned payment, or void the payment and credit your payment Account. You may receive notification through the Bill Payment Service for any Bill Payments that are returned.
D. Restrictions. Certain restrictions apply to Bill Payments: (a) the payee or merchant must be located in the United States; (b) Bill Payments may not be remitted to tax authorities, government agencies or collection agencies; (c) payments to security companies for stock purchases or trade taxing authorities are restricted; (d) court directed payments such as alimony, child support or other legal debts are restricted. Minimum Payment Amount. There is a minimum bill payment amount of $1.00 for each bill payment processed. **The Credit Union reserves the right to change limits at any time.**
E. Fees. For Business Bill Pay Services, there is a flat monthly fee of $8.00 for the Bill Pay service; however, we reserve the right to change fees at any time with proper notice as required by law. For Consumer Bill Pay Services, there is no upfront fee for bill pay. However, there is a $3.00 monthly inactive account fee starting at 90 days if you allow 90 (ninety) days to laps between usage (actually paying a bill). This means that if you sign up for consumer bill pay and allow 90 days between paying bills you will be charged a $3.00 fee monthly until the use starts back.
F. Available Funds. You agree to have available sufficient funds on deposit in the Account that you designate to pay all Bill Payments. The Credit Union reserves the right, without liability, to reject or reverse a Bill Payment if you fail to comply with the above requirements or any other term of this Agreement. If you do not have sufficient funds in your account and the Credit Union has not exercised its right to reverse or reject a Bill Payment, you agree to pay Insufficient Fund and Overdraft fees as disclosed in the Credit Union’s Schedule of Fees. You further agree that the Credit Union, at its option, may charge any of your Accounts with the Credit Union to cover such Bill Payment obligations. Bill Payments with a status of “processed” may not be canceled or changed.
G. Your Responsibility. You are responsible for any and all Bill Payment instructions that you make that contain an error or that is a duplicate of another Bill Payment instruction. The Credit Union is not responsible for a Bill Payment that is not made if you did not properly follow the instructions on the Bill Payment service website for making a Bill Payment or incorrectly entered a Bill Payment instruction with us. The Credit Union is not liable for any failure to make a Bill Payment if you fail to promptly notify the Credit Union after you learn that you have not received credit from a Payee for a Bill Payment.
H. Credit Union Not Liable. The Credit Union is not liable in any way for damages you incur if: you do not have sufficient funds in your account to make the electronic payment when it is processed; the estimate of time to allow for delivery to the payee is inaccurate; there are mail delivery delays, changes of merchant address or account number; any merchant fails to account correctly for or credit the payment in a timely manner; or for any other circumstances beyond the control of the Credit Union. We are not responsible for Bill Payments that cannot be made due to incomplete, incorrect, or outdated information. If a Bill Pay check payment is made through use of the Bill Payment service with insufficient funds in your account when the bill payment is processed, you may be subject to a non-sufficient funds fee or courtesy pay fee pursuant to the terms of the membership agreement governing the account and the Credit Union’s Funds Availability Disclosure.
I. Your Authorization and Certification. i. When you enter payment instructions to schedule a Payment, you expressly authorize the Credit Union to withdraw from your account the Bill Payment amount and to remit those funds to the designated Payee on your behalf, and additionally to debit your account for any applicable service related fees, if any. ii. You certify that the account used you use to utilize the Bill Payment service is an account from which you are authorized to make payments and incur debits. You agree to have available and collected funds on deposit in your designated account in amounts sufficient to process each payment as requested by you, as well as any other payment obligations you have to the Credit Union. The Credit Union reserves the right, without liability, to reject or reverse a payment if you fail to comply with this requirement or any other terms of this Agreement. If you do not have sufficient funds available in your designated account, and the Credit Union has not exercised its right to reverse or reject a Bill Payment, you agree to pay for such Bill Payment obligations on demand. You further agree that the Credit Union, at its option, may charge any of your accounts at the Credit Union to cover such Bill Payment obligations. iii. You authorize the Credit Union to contact your Payees to request appropriate adjustments consistent with the Bill Payment instructions and/or to stop payment on any draft issued against your designated account in connection with the Bill Payment service in the unlikely event that the Bill Payment service remits funds incorrectly to any of your Payees, and/or to withdraw funds from your designated account in such event if you otherwise receive the benefit of the amount of such incorrectly remitted funds. J. Canceling or Modifying Bill Pay Authorized Payments. Bill Pay payment transactions cannot be canceled or changed once your Bill Pay session has been processed. You may, however, edit or delete these transactions up until your Bill Pay session is terminated. In order to request a cancellation of a payment or change a Bill Pay transaction designated with future bill payment date or a “recurring” date, you must use Bill Pay and follow the instructions provided to you. You must cancel the payment using Bill Pay by 3:00 p.m. on the day before the scheduled processing day.
K. Termination of Bill Payment Service. The Credit Union is not responsible for terminating any scheduled One-Time Payment nor Recurring Payment processed prior to a reasonable opportunity to act on your termination notice. Once your Bill Payment service is terminated, all of your scheduled One-Time Payments and Recurring Payments shall be terminated as well. You remain obligated for all Bill Payments made by the Bill Payment service on your behalf under this Agreement. 7. STATEMENTS, PRIVACY, DISCLOSURES, AND CREDIT UNION LIABILITY. A. Periodic Statements. Transfers, withdrawals and bill payments transacted through Online Banking Services will be recorded on your periodic statement. You will receive a statement monthly unless there is no transaction in a particular month. In any case, you will receive a statement at least quarterly. Additionally, through Online Banking Services, you can view all your recent share savings and checking transaction activity at any time.
B. Privacy. Please see the Credit Union’s Privacy Policy for details regarding the manner in which we collect and use information about you and maintain the confidentiality of your personally identifiable information. Your access or use of Online Banking Services constitutes your agreement to the terms and conditions of our Privacy Policy and our use of information gathered about you in accordance with that policy. Our Privacy Policy may be revised from time-to-time. We may notify you of the changes by mail, E-mail, or by posting a modified Privacy Policy that you can view through Online Banking Services. Your continued use of Online Banking Services following such notification or posting will constitute your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy. Accordingly, please check regularly for revisions to our Privacy Policy. You agree that we may satisfy our obligation to provide you with an annual copy of our Privacy Policy by keeping it available for review on our Website.
C. Account Information Disclosure. We will disclose information to third parties about your account or the transfers you make: i. As necessary to complete transfers and bill payments. ii. To verify the existence of sufficient funds to cover specific transactions upon the request of a payee or a third party, such as a credit bureau or merchant. iii. To comply with government agency or court orders. iv. If you give us your written permission. v. As otherwise permitted by law.
D. Credit Union Liability for Failure to Make Transfers. If we do not complete a transfer to or from your account on time or in the correct amount according to our agreement with you and the instructions you transmit, we will be liable for your actual losses or damages. However, the Credit Union will not be liable for the following: i. If, through no fault of ours, you do not have adequate funds in your account to complete a transaction, your account is closed or the transaction amount would exceed your credit limit on your line of credit, if applicable. ii. If you used the wrong Password or you have not properly followed any applicable computer, Internet Access or Credit Union user instructions for making transfer and bill payment transactions. iii. If your computer fails or malfunctions or Online Banking Services were not properly working and such problem should have been apparent when you attempted such transaction. iv. If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire, flood, telecommunication outages, postal strikes, equipment or power failure) prevent making the transaction. v. If the funds in your account are subject to an administrative hold, legal process, such as garnishment, levy, attachment or other claim. vi. If you have not given the Credit Union complete, correct and current instructions so the Credit Union can process a transfer or bill payment. vii. If the error was caused by a system beyond the Credit Union’s control, such as your Internet Service Provider. viii. If you fail to notify us of any inaccuracy in any merchant list that has been set up on your account or if you receive notice from a merchant or institution that any payment you have made through the Bill Payment Service remains unpaid and you fail to notify us promptly of that fact. ix. If the payee was a merchant or institution that you are not permitted to designate.
8. MISCELLANEOUS.
A. Modification of Service. The Credit Union is not liable under this Agreement for failure to provide access due to a system failure or other unforeseen acts. We may modify, suspend or terminate access to Online Banking Services at any time and for any reason without prior notice, unless otherwise required by law.
B. Responsibility and Liability for Transactions. i. You are solely responsible for the security of your Password used for any of your Accounts and applications with the Credit Union and for Online Banking Services. All Bill Payments or transfers from your Account made with your Password are conclusively presumed to have been authorized by you. We shall have no liability to you for any unauthorized use of Online Banking Services, including Bill Payments, made using your Password that occurs before you have notified us of possible unauthorized use, in writing, and we have had a reasonable opportunity to act on that notice. ii. The Credit Union is not responsible for your acts or omissions or those of any third person, including, without limitation, any Payee or transmission or communications facility; and no such party shall be deemed to be the Credit Union’s agent. In any event, the Credit Union will not be liable for any special, consequential, incidental, or punitive losses, damages, or expenses in connection with this Agreement or Online Banking Services, even if the Credit Union has knowledge of the possibility of them. The Credit Union is not liable for any act, failure to act or delay in acting if it is caused, in whole or in part, by any cause beyond the Credit Union’s reasonable control.
C. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR UNAUTHORIZED ACTIVITY. Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your Username, Password or other means of accessing Online Banking Services have been stolen or used without your permission. You could lose all the money in your designated Account, plus any credit available in any available overdraft protection plan. Also, if the periodic statement for your designated account shows Bill Payments or other Bill Payment service transactions, or any other transactions that you did not make, tell us at once. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL TRANSACTIONS INITIATED USING YOUR USERNAME, PASSWORD AND OTHER MEANS OF ACCESSING ONLINE BANKING SERVICES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU AUTHORIZED THEM OR IF THEY EXCEED ANY LIMITS ON YOUR DESIGNATED ACCOUNTS. You are responsible for all transfers and bill payments you authorize under this Agreement. If you permit other persons to use Online Banking Services or your Password, you are responsible for any transactions they authorize or conduct on any of your Accounts. However, tell us at once if you believe anyone has used your Password or accessed your Accounts through Online Banking Services without your authorization or in the event of errors or questions. Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. Also, if your statement shows the Credit Union Online Banking Service transfers that you did not make, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after the statement was mailed to you, you may not get back any money lost after the sixty days (60) if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from making the transfers if you had told us in time. If a good reason (such as a hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods. If you believe that unauthorized access has occurred or someone has used your Password or has transferred or may transfer money from your account without your permission or if you believe there is an error with your Account, call the Credit Union at: (828)648-1515 or (800) 274-2040 or write to: Champion Credit Union PO Box 1389 Canton, NC 28716. We must hear from you no later than sixty (60) days after we sent the first statement on which the problem appears. You will need to provide the following information: i. Your name and account number. ii. Describe the transaction you are unsure about, and explain as clearly as you can why you believe it is an error or why you need more information. iii. Tell us the dollar amount of the suspected error. If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your complaint or question in writing within ten (10) business days. We will determine whether an error occurred within ten (10) business days after we hear from you and we will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to forty- five (45) days to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will credit your account within ten (10) business days for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have the use of the funds during the time it takes us to complete our investigation. If we ask you to put your complaint or question in writing and we do not receive it within ten (10) business days, we may not credit your account. We will tell you the results within three (3) business days after completing our investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation. You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation. If a notice of error involves an electronic fund transfer that occurred within thirty (30) days after the first deposit to the account was made, the applicable time periods for action shall be twenty (20) business days in place of ten (10) business days. If a notice of error involves an electronic fund transfer that was initiated in a foreign country or occurred within thirty (30) days after the first deposit to the account was made, the applicable time period for action shall be ninety (90) calendar days in place of forty-five (45) calendar days.
D. Account Security. You are solely responsible for controlling the safekeeping of and access to your Username, Password or other means to access Online Banking Services. You agree not to give out or make available your Username, Password, access code, authenticating image or other means to access your Account(s) or Online Banking Services to any unauthorized individuals. You are responsible for all instructions and transactions authorized by you or anyone to whom you provide access to Online Banking Services, even if that person exceeds his or her authority or any limitations on your designated account(s).
E. Electronic Mail (E-Mail). Sending e-mail is a very good way to communicate with the Credit Union regarding Online Banking Services. However, any e-mail which is sent via your own software is not a secure method of communication. Because of this, you should not include confidential information, such as account numbers and balances in any e-mail communication. You cannot use e-mail to initiate Bill Payment instructions, Bill Payments or any other transactions through Online Banking Services. All such transactions must be initiated using the appropriate functions within Online Banking Services. The Credit Union shall not be liable for any errors, omissions, claims, or problems of any kind involving your e-mail. For questions or issues which require resolution and might require the transmission of confidential, sensitive or personal information, please use the secure messaging function available through the Website, or call the Credit Union directly. The Credit Union will not be responsible for any damages you may incur if you communicate confidential or personal information to us over the Internet, or if we communicate such information to you, at your request. All information submitted to or received by the Credit Union through the Website or otherwise through the Internet (including through E-mail) shall be deemed to be and remain the property of the Credit Union.
F. Account Contact and Information. It is your sole responsibility to maintain accurate and complete contact information in your user profile. This includes, but is not limited to, name, address, phone numbers and e-mail addresses, and verifying account numbers.

H. Virus Protection. The Credit Union is not responsible for any electronic virus that you may encounter using Online Banking Services. You are encouraged to routinely scan your computer and files using reliable virus protection products to detect and remove viruses. If undetected and unrepaired, a virus can corrupt and destroy your programs, files and hardware.
I. Damages and Warranties. In addition to the terms previously disclosed, the Credit Union is not responsible for any losses, errors, injuries, expenses, claims, attorney’s fees, interest or other damages, whether direct, indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential, (collectively, “Losses”) caused by the use of Online Banking Services or in any way arising out of the installation, use or maintenance of your personal or business computer hardware or software, including any software provided by the Credit Union or one of its suppliers.

You authorize the Credit Union to deduct any such liability, loss or expense from your Account without prior notice to you. In the event either party brings a legal action to enforce the Agreement or collect any overdrawn funds on accounts accessed under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled, subject to applicable law, to payment by the other party of its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, including fees on any appeal, bankruptcy proceedings, or any post-judgment collection actions, if applicable.
