This Mobile Deposit Service Agreement, ("Agreement") is the contract which covers your and our rights and responsibilities concerning the Mobile Deposit service (“Service”) offered to you by Central Willamette Credit Union ("Credit Union"). By using the Mobile Deposit Service or by electronically accepting these Mobile Deposit Terms and Conditions (“Agreement”) on the Mobile Deposit Enrollment page within Online Banking or Mobile Banking, you and any joint owners or authorized users, jointly and severally, agree to the terms and conditions in this Agreement, and any amendments. The Mobile Deposit service is subject to the following terms and conditions and to the instructions, rules and terms provided to you via a link within the service and incorporated by reference herein.  

1. Mobile Deposit Service.

1.1 Mobile Deposit Process. If we approve the Mobile Deposit service for you, you must use your Online Banking password with your Login to access your accounts. You may photograph an image of checks with your Remote device creating an electronic image and you may transmit the electronic image that the Credit Union will deposit to your account. The Credit Union's processing agent shall perform an image quality assessment of the imaged checks and shall convert items meeting the Credit Union's required standards into substitute checks to facilitate the deposit and collection of such items. You agree that the manner in which checks are cleared or presented for payment shall be determined by the Credit Union, in its sole discretion. We reserve the right to select the clearing agents through which we clear checks.

1.2 Funds Availability. Funds from items deposited through the Service will be available on the business day the item is processed, subject to funds availability. Business days are considered Monday – Friday, prior to 3:00pm PST excluding holidays.  There may be additional holds on deposited items as set forth in the Credit Union's Funds Availability Policy disclosure, as amended from time to time, which is incorporated herein by reference. For purposes of determining the cut-off period for deposits and the availability of funds, checks deposited via Mobile Deposit session are considered received by the Credit Union when the checks have cleared and funds are available to the Credit Union. You agree that the imaging and transmitting of checks alone does not constitute receipt by Credit Union. Also, acknowledgment of receipt or delivery does not constitute an acknowledgment by Credit Union that the transmission of a check or items does not contain errors or that funds will be available.

1.3 Deposit Acceptance. You agree that Credit Union may at any time, in its sole discretion, refuse to accept deposits of checks from you via Mobile Deposit session. In the event that the Service is interrupted or are otherwise unavailable, you may deposit checks in-person at a Credit Union branch or via night drop or mail or other contractually acceptable method.

2. Member Account.

2.1 Member Account. You must designate a Credit Union checking account as the settlement account to be used for the purposes of settling, transactions requested in connection with the Service. We will provide you with details of each specific transaction. You will be responsible for reviewing and balancing of any settlement account.

2.2 Responsibility for Imaging. You are solely responsible for imaging deposit items, accessing the service from the Credit Union and for maintaining your imaging equipment. You will be responsible for the payment of all telecommunications expenses associated with the service. Credit Union shall not be responsible for providing or servicing any Equipment for you.

2.3 Deposit Requirements. You agree that you will only use the Service to deposit checks drawn on financial institutions within the United States, excluding its territories. For checks not falling within this requirement you must deposit those checks in person, using a night drop facility or by U.S. Mail. You agree that each check you deposit through the Service will meet the image quality standards directed in the application.

2.4 Check Retention & Destruction. You agree that all checks belong to you and not to the Credit Union and that those items shall be handled in accordance with this Agreement and your Membership and Account Agreement. After our receipt of a deposit transmission we will acknowledge by electronic means our receipt of such transmission. Your electronic transmission is subject to proof and verification. You will retain the original of all imaged checks that have been deposited via Mobile Deposit for a reasonable period of time in order to verify settlement and credit or to balance periodic statements, but in no case beyond thirty-five (35) days from the date processed. It is your responsibility to properly destroy and dispose of such original checks after such time. During the period that you maintain any original checks, you understand and agree that you must use a high degree of care to protect these original checks against security risks.  These risks include, without limitation, (i) theft or reproduction of the original checks (including by employees) for purposes of presentment for deposit of these original checks (i.e., after the original checks have already been presented for deposit via the Service) and (ii) unauthorized use of information derived from the original checks.  When you dispose of any original checks, you understand and agree that you must use a high degree of care when selecting and implementing disposal procedures to ensure that the original checks are not accessed by unauthorized persons during the disposal process and, once destroyed, the original checks are no longer readable or capable of being reconstructed.

2.5 Deposit Prohibitions. You agree not to deposit, or attempt to deposit, or allow others, either directly or indirectly, to deposit, or attempt to deposit, by any means: (i) any Substitute Check, the original of which has already been presented for deposit via the Service, (ii) any image of a check that has already been deposited either as an original or as a substitute check, or (iii) any original check, the Substitute Check of which has already been presented for deposit via Mobile Deposit. In the event that you, or any third party, makes, or attempts to make, a deposit in violation of this Subsection you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold Credit Union and its agents harmless from and against all liability, damage and loss arising out of any claims, suits, or demands brought by third parties with respect to any such Substitute Check or original check.  You agree that the aggregate amount of any items which are deposited more than once will be debited from your account, and to the extent funds in your account are insufficient to cover such amount, any balance shall be debited by Credit Union from any other deposit accounts with Credit Union in its sole discretion. You further acknowledge that you and not the Credit Union is responsible for the processing and handling of any original items which are imaged and deposited utilizing the Service and you assume all liability to the drawer of any item imaged using the service or liability arising from the Credit Union's printing of any substitute check from those images.

2.6 Your Representations and Warranties. You represent and warrant:

i. that you will comply with all federal and state laws, and rules and regulations applicable to deposit and check transactions, including those of the National Automated Clearing House for ACH transactions;

ii. that all checks deposited through the Service are made payable to you;

iii. that all signatures on each check are authentic and authorized; and iv. that each check has not been altered. In the event you breach any of these representations or warranties, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold Credit Union and its agents harmless from and against all liability, damages and loss arising out of any claims, suits or demands brought by third parties with respect to any such breach. You further authorize the Credit Union to charge your account for the amount of any such demand, claim or suit that constitutes a breach of warranty claim under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code.

2.7 Financial Responsibility. You understand that you remain, solely and exclusively responsible for any and all financial risks, including, without limitation, insufficient funds associated with accessing the Service.  The Credit Union shall not be liable in any manner for such risk unless Credit Union fails to follow the procedures described in materials for use of the service. You assume exclusive responsibility for the consequences of any instructions you give to the Credit Union, for your failures to access the Service properly in a manner prescribed by the Credit Union, and for your failure to supply accurate input information, including, without limitation, any information contained in an application.

2.8 Account Reconciliation. You will verify and reconcile any out-of-balance condition, and promptly notify the Credit Union of any errors within the time periods established in the Membership and Account Agreement after receipt of your account statement. If notified within such period, the Credit Union shall correct and resubmit all erroneous files, reports, and other data at the Credit Union's then standard charges, or at no charge, if the erroneous report or other data directly resulted from the Credit Union's error.

3.  Credit Union's Obligations.

3.1 Financial Data. We will review and process your electronic file through a batch process no less than 1 time per business day, as defined in 1.2 Funds Availability. The Credit Union agrees to transmit all the financial data under its control required to utilize the service selected by you and to act on appropriate instructions received from you in connection with such service. The Credit Union shall exercise due care in seeking to preserve the confidentiality of the user number, password, test key, or other code or identifier and to prevent the use of the service by unauthorized persons. You agree that implementation by the Credit Union of its normal procedures for maintaining the confidentiality of information relating to its members and where practicable the obtaining by the Credit Union from any third parties engaged in the installation, maintenance and operation of the system of similar undertakings, shall constitute fulfillment of its obligation to exercise due care, but shall not otherwise be under any liability or have any responsibility of any kind for any loss incurred or damage suffered by you by reason or in consequence of any unauthorized person gaining access to or otherwise making use of the service. You assume full responsibility for the consequences of any misuse or unauthorized use of or access to the Service.

3.2 Service Availability. You understand that Service availability is at all times conditioned upon the corresponding operation and availability of the communication systems used in communicating your instructions and requests to the Credit Union. We will not be liable or have any responsibility of any kind for any loss or damage thereby incurred by you in the event of any failure or interruption of such communication systems or services resulting from the act or omission of any third party, or from any other cause not reasonably within the control of the Credit Union.

3.3 Exception Items.  When we review and process your electronic file, we may reject any electronic image that we determine to be ineligible for the service ("Exception Item") including, without limitation, electronic images of items drawn on banks located outside the United States, items drawn on U.S. Banks in foreign currency, electronic images that are illegible (due to poor image quality or otherwise), electronic images of items previously processed, electronic images previously converted to substitute checks, and electronic images with unreadable MICR information. We will notify you of any Exception Items.  You agree that if you wish to attempt to deposit any Exception Item to any of your accounts with Credit Union, you will only do so by depositing the original item on which the Exception Item is based.  You acknowledge and agree that even if you do not initially identify an electronic image as an Exception Item, the substitute check created by the Credit Union there from may nevertheless be returned to Credit Union because, among other reasons, the electronic image is deemed illegible by a paying bank.  Credit Union's failure to identify an Exception Item shall not preclude or limit your obligations to Credit Union.

3.4 Account Information. We will provide you with daily transaction history via the Internet and the Online Banking service detailing items processed, return items, and deposit adjustments.

3.5 Retention of Check Images. Credit Union will retain any substitute checks it generates for seven (7) years.
