Allegent CFCU Mobile Deposit Disclosure and Agreement - Allegent Community Federal Credit Union

Allegent CFCU Mobile Deposit Disclosure and Agreement

This Allegent Community Federal Credit Union Mobile Deposit Disclosure and Agreement (“Disclosure and Agreement”) contains the terms and conditions for the use of the Mobile Deposit Service (“Service”) that Allegent Community Federal Credit Union (hereinafter referred to as “ACFCU”, “the Credit Union”, “our”, “us” or “we”) may provide you (“you”, “your”, or “User”).

Your application for use of the Service, our notification of approval of your application, and your Allegent Community FCU Membership Agreement and Disclosures (“Account Agreement”) are hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of this Disclosure and Agreement. In the event of a conflict between this Disclosure and Agreement and your application, our approval, and the Account Agreement, this Disclosure and Agreement will supersede all other information, documents, disclosures, and agreements. You understand that your use of the Service constitutes your acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Disclosure and Agreement, and that our approval of your application for use of the Service must occur before you can use the Service. You agree to comply with the hardware and software requirements of the Service set for by the Credit Union and our Service providers.

Use of the Service. Mobile Deposit is designed to allow you to make deposits into eligible ACFCU deposit accounts (“Account”) by scanning a valid paper check (“image,” “item”) and delivering the image and associated deposit information to the Credit Union or the Credit Union’s designated processor. Upon receipt of an image, we will review the image for acceptability. You understand that our receipt of the image does not mean that the image will be accepted for deposit into your designated Account, and that you may be asked for additional images of the check or for more information before the image will be considered for deposit. Following receipt of the image, we may process the image by preparing a “substitute check” or clearing the item as an image. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, we reserve the right, within our sole and absolute discretion, to accept or reject any item for deposit into your Account. You understand that any amount credited to your designated Account for any item deposited using the Service will be considered provisional until such time that we receive payment for the item from the financial institution on which the item was drawn.

You understand that we are not responsible for errors in images that may prevent or delay the deposit of funds into your account, and that we are not responsible for any image that we did not receive.

Hardware and Software Requirements. You must be enrolled in the Credit Union’s Online Banking Service to use Mobile Deposit. You must have a Mobile Device that is acceptable to us and it must be compatible to use the Touch (Mobile) Banking Application where the Mobile Deposit Service is contained.

We and/or our service provider(s) may change these specifications and/or requirements from time to time. The Credit Union is not responsible for any third party software you may need to use the Service. You agree that you will perform, or cause to be performed for by properly trained personnel, all vendor recommended maintenance, repairs, upgrades and replacements. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, you are solely responsible, at your own expense, for purchasing, installing and operating, testing and maintaining all hardware and software necessary to use the Service. You accept any such software “as is” and subject to the terms and conditions of the software agreement that you enter into directly with the third party software provider at the time of download and installation. We are not responsible for, and you release us from, any and all claims or damages resulting from, or related to, any computer virus or related problems that may be associated with using the Service, e-mail or the Internet.

You agree to follow any and all other procedures and instructions for use of the Service as the Credit Union may establish from time to time.

If the check is payable to you or your joint owner, either of you can endorse it.

Once you have used the Service to deposit a Check you agree not to present, or allow anyone else to present, that original Check or a substitute Check of that original Check again for deposit through the Service or by any other means. If you or anyone else present a Check or substitute Check for deposit more than once, in violation of this Agreement, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold the Credit Union harmless from and against all liability and damages that may result from any claims, suits or demands from third parties with respect to such Check or substitute Check. You agree that we may debit from your Credit Union account the aggregate amount of any Checks that are deposited more than once. To the extent that funds in your account are insufficient to cover such amount, we shall debit the deficiency amount from any other of your Account(s) with the Credit Union in sole discretion. If at any time, you or anyone else presents a check that was deposited remotely again as a duplicate deposit, you will be immediately and permanently removed from using this service.

Rejection of Deposits. After we receive Check image(s) and all other required deposit information from you through the Service, we shall provisionally credit your designated Account for the total amount of such Check(s). The provisional credit is subject to final payment of the Check and is also subject to your Account Agreement. You agree that all deposits received by us are subject to verification and final inspection and may be rejected by us in our sole discretion, and you shall be 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 relating to such deposits.

You understand that if an item that you transmit to us for deposit is rejected, we will send an email to you at the email address we have on file for your Account to alert you of the rejection within 2 business days of the date we receive the original transmission of your item. Further, you understand that we are not responsible if, for any reason, you do not receive our email. If we reject a Check for remote deposit, you must physically deposit the original Check.

Unpaid Items. You are solely responsible for verifying that a Check(s) that you deposit by using the Service have been received and accepted for deposit by the Credit Union. The Credit Union will provide you with notice of any deposits that it is unable to process because Check(s) were returned unpaid by the payer financial institution. You agree to accept such notices at your email address on file with us, but we may choose any reasonable method for providing such notices to you. In the event that the Credit Union credits your Account for a Check that is subsequently dishonored and returned, you authorize the Credit Union to debit the amount of such Check plus any associated fees from the Account. To the extent that funds in your Account are insufficient to cover such amount, we shall debit the deficiency amount from any of your other Account(s) with the Credit Union in our sole discretion. Our right to charge your Account(s) will apply without regard to whether the Check was timely returned or whether there is any other claim or defense that the Check was improperly returned. You understand and agree, that since the original Check is your property, it will not be returned and the Credit Union may charge back an image of the Check, an ACH debit, or other electronic or paper debit, as applicable, to your Account. Your further agree that any image that we charge back may be in the form of an electronic or paper reproduction of the original Check or a substitute Check.

You agree to comply with any additional instructions we may provide to you in connection with returned Checks.
