Cookies
A “cookie” is a small file containing certain pieces of information that a website creates when you visit the site. “Cookies” help track user traffic patterns and can store that information about you. You can set your web browser to tell you when a “cookie” is set or to prevent a “cookie” from being set. Some sites collect additional information in their “cookie” files by asking customers to voluntarily provide information such as when registering before entering a site. You can access our website at any time without accepting a “cookie”. However, the use of a “cookie” is required as a safety precaution for the use of the Internet banking session and your refusal of a cookie will deny you access to the Internet banking session. We use a cookie as an identifier, or an extra bit of security. When a member logs on, we assign cookies to the member’s hard drive. When the member clicks the “End Session” link to log off E-Branch Banking, all cookies are automatically removed from the member’s hard drive. This means that any third party that attempts to access the cookies directly from the member’s hard drive will not be able to find them. “Cookies” collected by us do not read data off your hard drive and do not read “cookie” files created by another website.
Your PIN/PASSWORD (Access Code)
You will hold your PIN/PASSWORD in strict confidence. You will notify Credit Union immediately of loss or theft of the PIN/PASSWORD. If Credit Union receives such notice, Credit Union, may, in its discretion, freeze your Account, Line of Credit or Loan to prevent further electronic access. Credit Union may, in its discretion, reset and reactivate a new PIN/PASSWORD for your use.
Delivering the PIN/PASSWORD to another person constitutes authorization of that person to conduct any E-Branch Banking Account Access transaction or inquiry on your Account, Line of Credit and/or Loan using E-Branch Banking Account Access. You shall be liable for all authorized E-Branch Banking Account Access transactions.
Authorized use of the PIN/PASSWORD for any E-Branch Banking Account Access transaction is an order by you for that transaction on your Account, Line of Credit and/or Loan. Transactions will be posted to the Account, Line of Credit and/or Loan immediately.
E-Branch Banking Account Access and PIN/PASSWORD are property of Credit Union which may, without liability to you or advance notice (except as required by applicable law), revoke or limit any or all use of the PIN/PASSWORD and/or E-Branch Banking Account Access. You may not use the PIN/PASSWORD or E-Branch Banking Account Access after Credit Union revokes the PIN/PASSWORD or your use of E-Branch Banking Account Access.
You may terminate your PIN/PASSWORD or your use of E-Branch Banking Account Access by mailing or delivering written notice to Credit Union. However, your notice will be ineffective until Credit Union receives your notice and has a reasonable opportunity to act upon it. In any event, your notice will not be binding on Credit Union before midnight of the Credit Union business day following the receipt of such notice by Credit Union.
Terms and Conditions
Except as inconsistent with this Agreement, use of E-Branch Banking Account Access is subject to the terms and conditions of your Account agreements, Line of Credit agreements and Loan agreements as amended by Credit Union from time to time, which are incorporated by reference herein.

This Agreement may be amended by Credit Union at any time in its discretion. You will receive notice of amendments as required by applicable law without restatement of the terms herein.
You agree to pay all charges to your Account, Line of Credit and/or Loans made by you and any person authorized by you to use the PIN/PASSWORD. You agree to pay any fees and charges assessed against your Account, Line of Credit and/or Loan under the terms of this Agreement, the Fee Schedule (given to you upon opening of your Account) and any other agreement with Credit Union. If you do not pay any amounts owing to Credit Union, Credit Union in its sole discretion, may add any amount owing to Credit Union to the balance of any Loan or Line of Credit you have with Credit Union.
You agree to indemnify Credit Union for any amounts, including but not limited to expenses, court costs and attorney fees, incurred by Credit Union in the event of an overdraft or your failure to perform according to the provisions of this Agreement. You agree to hold Credit Union harmless for any failure of the E-Branch Banking Account Access system due to electronic, mechanical or similar problems beyond the control of the Credit Union.
To be effective, any waiver or modification of any term or condition stated in this Agreement must be in writing and signed by an authorized officer of the Credit Union and shall not be considered as a waiver of any future or other obligation or right.
In the event that any paragraph of this Agreement or portion thereof is held by a court to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the other paragraphs or portions of the Agreement shall not be invalid or unenforceable and will continue in full force and effect.
This Agreement is governed by the Bylaws of the Credit Union, federal laws and regulations, the laws and regulations of the State of Florida and local clearinghouse rules, as amended from time to time. Any disputes regarding this Agreement shall be within the jurisdiction of the court of the county in which Credit Union’s principal place of doing business is located.
If legal action is necessary to enforce this Agreement or collect any amounts owing to Credit Union or fees or charges assessed under this Agreement, Credit Union has the right, subject to applicable law, to payment by you of all attorney’s judgment actions. You agree that such legal action may be filed and heard in the county and state in which Credit Union’s principal place of doing business is located, if allowed by applicable law.

You agree to endorse any item transmitted through the Service with your signature and adding the restrictive endorsement “For Mobile Deposit Only, LOYALTY Credit Union account #______ , Date” or as otherwise instructed by us, prior to transmission of the Item.

2. Hardware and Software Requirements
You agree to transmit an Image to us using only a Remote Device authorized by us for your use to transmit Images. We may, but are not required to, reject Images that you transmit to us with an unapproved Remote Device or by other means to which we have not given our consent.
You are responsible for the security of the Remote Device and for allowing its use only by individuals authorized by you. You agree to implement and maintain specific internal security controls to protect the Remote Device and customer information.

Each Image must include the front and back of the Item and the following information must be clearly readable: amount, payee name, drawer signature, date, check number, account number, routing and transit number, MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) line, and any endorsement or other information written on the check.

5. Limits
We may establish limits on the dollar amount and/or number of Items or deposits permitted to be deposited by you through use of the Service from time to time. If you attempt to initiate a deposit in excess of these limits, we may reject your deposit.

6. Deposit of Other Items; Deposits When Service Not Available
You agree that you will not use the Service to deposit anything not meeting the definition of an Item. If you use the Service to transmit anything that is not an Item, or if for any reason we are not able to recognize something transmitted as an Item, we may reject it without prior notice to you. You agree to make those deposits through other channels that we offer, such as at a Credit Union branch, ATM, or mail. You further agree to use such other channels when the Service may not be available.
7. Returned Items
You are solely responsible for any Item for which you have been given provisional credit, and any such Item that is returned or rejected may be charged to your Account or any other account in your name. You acknowledge that all credits received for deposits made through the Service are provisional, subject to verification and final settlement. Any Item that we return to you will be returned in the form of an Image or an IRD (substitute check).
8. Handling of Transmitted Items
You agree not to allow an Item to be deposited or presented for payment more than once to the extent that it could result in the payment of the Item more than once. You will not allow the transmission of an Image of an Item that has already been presented to us or to any bank by any other means. You will not allow transmission of an Image of an Item that has already been transmitted through the Service. If an Image of an Item has been transmitted to us or to any other bank, you will not allow the Item to be subsequently presented by any other means. If any Item is presented or deposited more than once, whether by Image or by any other means, we may, at our discretion, reject it or return it and charge it against your Account without prior notice to you.
For any Image which you have transmitted, you shall be responsible for preventing the transmission of another Image of the Item or presentment of the Item by any other means. You agree to retain the Item for at least 60 calendar days from the date of the Image transmission and thereafter destroy any Item of which you have transmitted an Image.
9. Cooperation with Investigations
You agree to cooperate with us in the review or investigation of any transactions, poor quality transmissions or claims, including, without limitation, by providing, promptly upon request and without further cost, any originals or copies of Items in your possession and your records relating to Items and transmissions.
10. Payment Processing
a. Item Processing
At our sole discretion, we may process the Images you send to us electronically through other financial institutions, or we may create Image Replacement Documents that will be processed through traditional check processing methods. If you send us Images that are incomplete, that fail to satisfy our image quality requirements, or otherwise do not allow us to meet the requirements of Check 21 or any image exchange agreement that would cover our further electronic transmission of Images that you send us, or we are otherwise unable to process Images that you send us, we may charge the Images back to your Account. You agree to be bound by any clearinghouse agreements, operating circulars, and image exchange agreements to which we are a party.
b. Receipt of Items
We reserve the right to reject any Image or Item transmitted through the Service, at our discretion, without liability to you. We are not responsible for Images we do not receive or for Images that are dropped during transmission. You shall be responsible for verifying our receipt of an Image or Item transmitted through the Service by verifying that deposits have been posted to the appropriate Accounts. If we send you a confirmation that we have received an Image or Item and accepted your deposit, the confirmation does not mean that the transmission was complete or error free.
c. Funds Availability
If an Image you transmit through the Service is received and accepted before 4:30 p.m. Central Time on a business day that we are open, we consider that day to be the day of your deposit. Otherwise, we will consider that the deposit was made on the next business day we are open. You agree, however, that Items transmitted through the Service are not subject to the funds availability requirements set forth in the Credit Union’s “Funds Availability Policy Disclosure” or Regulation CC of the Federal Reserve Board. Nevertheless, we will generally make the first $225 of a day’s total deposits available on the day of your deposit and the remainder available by the second (2nd) business day after the day of your deposit. We reserve the right to delay availability up to 60 days from the date we receive payment for Items transmitted through the Service.
d. Errors
You agree to notify us of any suspected errors regarding Items deposited through the Service as soon as possible, and in no event later than 60 days after the applicable Credit Union account statement is sent to you. Unless you notify us within 60 days, such statement regarding all deposits made through the Service shall be deemed correct, and you are prohibited from bringing a claim against us for such alleged error.
11. Fees
You are responsible for paying the fees for use of the Service as the Credit Union may change them from time to time.
