TERMS OF SERVICE
Last updated March 7, 2019
GENERAL TERMS FOR EACH SERVICE
1. Introduction. This Terms of Service document
(hereinafter "Agreement") is a contract between you and State
Employees Credit Union (hereinafter "we" or "us") in
connection with each service that is described in the rest of this Agreement that
applies to services you use from us, as applicable (each, a
"Service") offered through our online banking site or mobile
applications (the "Site"). The Agreement consists of these General
Terms for Each Service (referred to as "General Terms"), and each set
of Terms that follows after the General Terms that applies to the specific
Service you are using from us. This Agreement applies to your use of the
Service and the portion of the Site through which the Service is offered.
2. Service Providers. We are offering you the
Service through one or more Service Providers that we have engaged to render
some or all of the Service to you on our behalf. However, notwithstanding that
we have engaged such a Service Provider to render some or all of the Service to
you, we are the sole party liable to you for any payments or transfers
conducted using the Service and we are solely responsible to you and any third
party to the extent any liability attaches in connection with the Service. You
agree that we have the right under this Agreement to delegate to Service
Providers all of the rights and performance obligations that we have under this
Agreement, and that the Service Providers will be third party beneficiaries of
this Agreement and will be entitled to all the rights and protections that this
Agreement provides to us. Service Provider and certain other capitalized terms
are defined in a "Definitions" Section at the end of the General
Terms. Other defined terms are also present at the end of each set of Terms
that follow after the General Terms, as applicable.
3. Amendments. We may amend this Agreement
and any applicable fees and charges for the Service at any time by posting a
revised version on the Site. The revised version will be effective at the time
it is posted unless a delayed effective date is expressly stated in the
revision. Any use of the Service after a notice of change or after the posting
of a revised version of this Agreement on the Site will constitute your
agreement to such changes and revised versions. Further, we may, from time to
time, revise, update, upgrade or enhance the Service and/or related
applications or material, which may render all such prior versions obsolete.
Consequently, we reserve the right to terminate this Agreement as to all such
prior versions of the Service, and/or related applications and material, and
limit access to only the Service’s more recent revisions, updates, upgrades or
enhancements.
4. Our Relationship With You. We are an independent
contractor for all purposes, except that we act as your agent with respect to
the custody of your funds for the Service. We do not have control of, or
liability for, any products or services that are paid for with our Service. We
also do not guarantee the identity of any user of the Service (including but
not limited to recipients to whom you send payments).
5. Assignment. You may not transfer or assign
any rights or obligations you have under this Agreement without our prior
written consent, which we may withhold in our sole discretion. We reserve the
right to transfer or assign this Agreement or any right or obligation under
this Agreement at any time to any party. We may also assign or delegate certain
of our rights and responsibilities under this Agreement to independent
contractors or other third parties.

15. Payment Methods and Amounts. There
are limits on the amount of money you can send or receive through our Service.
Your limits may be adjusted from time-to-time in our sole discretion. You may
log in to the Site to view your individual transaction limits. We or our
Service Provider also reserve the right to select the method in which to remit
funds on your behalf though the Service, and in the event that your Eligible
Transaction Account is closed or otherwise unavailable to us the method to
return funds to you. These payment methods may include, but may not be limited
to, an electronic debit, a paper check drawn on the account of our Service
Provider, or draft drawn against your account.
16. Your Liability for Unauthorized Transfers.
Immediately following your discovery of an unauthorized Payment Instruction,
you shall communicate with customer care for the Service in the manner set
forth in Section 6 of the General Terms above. You acknowledge and agree that
time is of the essence in such situations. If you tell us within two (2)
Business Days after you discover your password or other means to access your
account through which you access the Service has been lost or stolen, your
liability is no more than $50.00 should someone access your account without
your permission. If you do not tell us within two (2) Business Days after you
learn of such loss or theft, and we can prove that we could have prevented the
unauthorized use of your password or other means to access your account if you
had told us, you could be liable for as much as $500.00. If your monthly
financial institution statement contains payments that you did not authorize,
you must tell us at once. If you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after
the statement was sent to you, you may lose any amount transferred without your
authorization after the sixty (60) days if we can prove that we could have
stopped someone from taking the money had you told us in time. If a good reason
(such as a long trip or a hospital stay) prevented you from telling us, we may
in our sole discretion extend the period.
17. Taxes. It is your responsibility to determine
what, if any, taxes apply to the transactions you make or receive, and it is
your responsibility to collect, report and remit the correct tax to the
appropriate tax authority. We are not responsible for determining whether taxes
apply to your transaction, or for collecting, reporting or remitting any taxes
arising from any transaction.
18. Failed or Returned Payment Instructions. In
using the Service, you are requesting that we or our Service Provider attempt
to make payments for you from your Eligible Transaction Account. If the Payment
Instruction cannot be completed for any reason associated with your Eligible
Transaction Account (for example, there are insufficient funds in your Eligible
Transaction Account, or the Payment Instruction would exceed the credit or
overdraft protection limit of your Eligible Transaction Account, to cover the
payment), the Payment Instruction may or may not be completed. In certain
circumstances, our Service Provider may either advance funds drawn on their
corporate account or via an electronic debit, and in such circumstances will
attempt to debit the Eligible Transaction Account a second time to complete the
Payment Instruction. In some instances, you will receive a return notice from
us or our Service Provider. In each such case, you agree that:
a.
You will reimburse our Service Provider immediately upon demand
the amount of the Payment Instruction if the payment has been delivered but
there are insufficient funds in, or insufficient overdraft credits associated
with, your Eligible Transaction Account to allow the debit processing to be
completed;
b. You may
be assessed a late fee equal to one and a half percent (1.5%) of any unpaid
amounts plus costs of collection by our Service Provider or their third-party
contractor if the Payment Instruction cannot be debited because you have
insufficient funds in your Eligible Transaction Account, or the transaction
would exceed the credit or overdraft protection limit of your Eligible
Transaction Account, to cover the payment, or if the funds cannot otherwise be collected
from you. The aforesaid amounts will be charged in addition to any NSF charges
that may be assessed by us, as set forth in your fee schedule from us
(including as disclosed on the Site) or your account agreement with us. You
hereby authorize us and our Service Provider to deduct all of these amounts
from your designated Eligible Transaction Account, including by ACH debit;
c.
Service Provider is authorized to report the facts concerning
the return to any credit reporting agency.
19. Address or Banking Changes. It is
your sole responsibility and you agree to ensure that the contact information
in your user profile is current and accurate. This includes, but is not limited
to, name, physical address, phone numbers and email addresses. Depending on the
Service, changes may be able to be made within the user interface of the
Service or by contacting customer care for the Service as set forth in Section
6 of the General Terms above. We are not responsible for any payment processing
errors or fees incurred if you do not provide accurate Eligible Transaction
Account, Payment Instructions or contact information.
20. Information Authorization. Your enrollment in the
applicable Service may not be fulfilled if we cannot verify your identity or
other necessary information. Through your enrollment in or use of each Service,
you agree that we reserve the right to request a review of your credit rating
at our own expense through an authorized bureau. In addition, and in accordance
with our Privacy Policy, you agree that we reserve the right to obtain personal
information about you, including without limitation, financial information and
transaction history regarding your Eligible Transaction Account. You further
understand and agree that we reserve the right to use personal information
about you for our and our Service Providers’ everyday business purposes, such
as to maintain your ability to access the Service, to authenticate you when you
log in, to send you information about the Service, to perform fraud screening,
to verify your identity, to determine your transaction limits, to perform
collections, to comply with laws, regulations, court orders and lawful
instructions from government agencies, to protect the personal safety of
subscribers or the public, to defend claims, to resolve disputes, to
troubleshoot problems, to enforce this Agreement, to protect our rights and
property, and to customize, measure, and improve the Service and the content
and layout of the Site. Additionally, we and our Service Providers may use your
information for risk management purposes and may use, store and disclose your
information acquired in connection with this Agreement as permitted by law,
including (without limitation) any use to effect, administer or enforce a
transaction or to protect against or prevent actual or potential fraud,
unauthorized transactions, claims or other liability. We and our Service
Providers shall have the right to retain such data even after termination or
expiration of this Agreement for risk management, regulatory compliance, or
audit reasons, and as permitted by applicable law for everyday business
purposes. In addition we and our Service Providers may use, store and disclose
such information acquired in connection with the Service in statistical form for
pattern recognition, modeling, enhancement and improvement, system analysis and
to analyze the performance of the Service. The following provisions in this
Section apply to certain Services:
a.
Mobile Subscriber Information. You authorize your
wireless carrier to disclose information about your account, such as subscriber
status, payment method and device details, if available, to support identity
verification, fraud avoidance and other uses in support of transactions for the
duration of your business relationship with us. This information may also be
shared with other companies to support your transactions with us and for
identity verification and fraud avoidance purposes.
b. Device
Data. We may share certain personal information and
device-identifying technical data about you and your devices with third party
service providers, who will compare and add device data and fraud data from and
about you to a database of similar device and fraud information in order to
provide fraud management and prevention services, which include but are not
limited to identifying and blocking access to the applicable service or Web
site by devices associated with fraudulent or abusive activity. Such
information may be used by us and our third party service providers to provide
similar fraud management and prevention services for services or Web sites not
provided by us. We will not share with service providers any information that
personally identifies the user of the applicable device.
21. Service Termination, Cancellation, or Suspension. If you
wish to cancel the Service, you may contact us as set forth in Section 6 of the
General Terms above. Any payment(s) that have begun processing before the
requested cancellation date will be processed by us. You agree that we may
terminate or suspend your use of the Service at any time and for any reason or
no reason. Neither termination, cancellation nor suspension shall affect your
liability or obligations under this Agreement.
22. Errors, Questions, and Complaints.
a.
In case of errors or questions about your transactions, you
should as soon as possible contact us as set forth in Section 6 of the General
Terms above.
b. If you
think your periodic statement for your account is incorrect or you need more
information about a transaction listed in the periodic statement for your
account, we must hear from you no later than sixty (60) days after we send you
the applicable periodic statement for your account that identifies the error.
You must:
1.
Tell us your name;
2.
Describe the error or the transaction in question, and explain
as clearly as possible why you believe it is an error or why you need more
information; and,
3.
Tell us the dollar amount of the suspected error.
c.
If you tell us orally, we may require that you send your complaint
in writing within ten (10) Business Days after your oral notification. Except
as described below, we will determine whether an error occurred within ten (10)
Business Days after you notify us of the error. We will tell you the results of
our investigation within three (3) Business Days after we complete our
investigation of the error, and will correct any error promptly. However, if we
require more time to confirm the nature of your complaint or question, we
reserve the right to take up to forty-five (45) days to complete our
investigation. If we decide to do this, we will provisionally credit your
Eligible Transaction Account within ten (10) Business Days for the amount you
think is in error. If we ask you to submit your complaint or question in writing
and we do not receive it within ten (10) Business Days, we may not
provisionally credit your Eligible Transaction Account. If it is determined
there was no error we will mail you a written explanation within three (3)
Business Days after completion of our investigation. You may ask for copies of
documents used in our investigation. We may revoke any provisional credit
provided to you if we find an error did not occur.
23. Intellectual Property. All other marks and
logos related to the Service are either trademarks or registered trademarks of
us or our licensors. In addition, all page headers, custom graphics, button
icons, and scripts are our service marks, trademarks, and/or trade dress or
those of our licensors. You may not copy, imitate, or use any of the above
without our prior written consent, which we may withhold in our sole
discretion, and you may not use them in a manner that is disparaging to us or
the Service or display them in any manner that implies our sponsorship or
endorsement. All right, title and interest in and to the Service, the portion
of the Site through which the Service is offered, the technology related to the
Site and Service, and any and all technology and any content created or derived
from any of the foregoing, is our exclusive property or that of our licensors.
Moreover, any suggestions, ideas, notes, drawings, concepts, or other
information you may send to us through or regarding the Site or Service shall
be considered an uncompensated contribution of intellectual property to us and
our licensors, shall also be deemed our and our licensors’ exclusive
intellectual property, and shall not be subject to any obligation of
confidentiality on our part. By submitting any such materials to us, you
automatically grant (or warrant that the owner of such materials has expressly
granted) to us and our licensors a perpetual, royalty-free, irrevocable,
non-exclusive right and license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish,
translate, publicly perform and display, create derivative works from and
distribute such materials or incorporate such materials into any form, medium,
or technology now known or later developed, and you warrant that all so-called
"moral rights" in those materials have been waived, and you warrant
that you have the right to make these warranties and transfers of rights.
24. Links and Frames. Links to other sites may be
provided on the portion of the Site through which the Service is offered for
your convenience. By providing these links, we are not endorsing, sponsoring or
recommending such sites or the materials disseminated by or services provided
by them, and are not responsible for the materials, services or other
situations at or related to or from any other site, and make no representations
concerning the content of sites listed in any of the Service web pages.
Consequently, we cannot be held responsible for the accuracy, relevancy,
copyright compliance, legality or decency of material contained in sites listed
in any search results or otherwise linked to the Site. For example, if you
"click" on a banner advertisement or a search result, your
"click" may take you off the Site. This may include links from
advertisers, sponsors, and content partners that may use our logo(s) as part of
a co-branding agreement. These other sites may send their own cookies to users,
collect data, solicit personal information, or contain information that you may
find inappropriate or offensive. In addition, advertisers on the Site may send
cookies to users that we do not control. You may link to the home page of our
Site. However, you may not link to other pages of our Site without our express
written permission. You also may not "frame" material on our Site
without our express written permission. We reserve the right to disable links
from any third party sites to the Site.
25. Password and Security. If you are issued or
create any password or other credentials to access the Service or the portion
of the Site through which the Service is offered, you agree not to give or make
available your password or credentials to any unauthorized individuals, and you
agree to be responsible for all actions taken by anyone to whom you have
provided such credentials. If you believe that your credentials have been lost
or stolen or that someone may attempt to use them to access the Site or Service
without your consent, you must inform us at once at the telephone number
provided in Section 6 of the General Terms above. See also Section 16 of the
General Terms above regarding how the timeliness of your notice impacts your
liability for unauthorized transfers.
26. Remedies. If we have reason to believe
that you have engaged in any of the prohibited or unauthorized activities
described in this Agreement or have otherwise breached your obligations under
this Agreement, we may terminate, suspend or limit your access to or use of the
Site or the Service; notify law enforcement, regulatory authorities, impacted
third parties, and others as we deem appropriate; refuse to provide our
services to you in the future; and/or take legal action against you. In
addition, we, in our sole discretion, reserve the right to terminate this
Agreement, access to the Site and/or use of the Service for any reason or no
reason and at any time. The remedies contained in this Section 26 of the
General Terms are cumulative and are in addition to the other rights and
remedies available to us under this Agreement, by law or otherwise.
27. Disputes. In the event of a dispute
regarding the Service, you and we agree to resolve the dispute by looking to
this Agreement.
28. Arbitration. For any claim (excluding claims for injunctive
or other equitable relief) where the total amount of the award sought is less
than $10,000.00 USD, the party requesting relief may elect to resolve the
dispute in a cost effective manner through binding non-appearance-based arbitration.
If a party elects arbitration, that party will initiate such arbitration
through Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services ("JAMS"), the
American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), or an established
alternative dispute resolution (ADR) administrator mutually agreed upon by the
parties. The parties agree that the following rules shall apply: (a) the
arbitration may be conducted telephonically, online and/or be solely based on
written submissions, at the election of the party initiating the arbitration;
(b) the arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties,
their representatives or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the
parties; (c) discovery shall not be permitted; (d) the matter shall be
submitted for decision within ninety (90) days of initiation of arbitration,
unless otherwise agreed by the parties, and the arbitrator must render a
decision within thirty (30) days of submission; and (e) any award in such
arbitration shall be final and binding upon the parties and may be submitted to
any court of competent jurisdiction for confirmation. The parties acknowledge
that remedies available under federal, state and local laws remain available
through arbitration. NO CLASS ACTION, OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, OR PRIVATE
ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR JOINDER OR CONSOLIDATION OF ANY CLAIM WITH A CLAIM
OF ANOTHER PERSON SHALL BE ALLOWABLE IN ARBITRATION.
29. Law and Forum for Disputes. Unless
our account agreement with you states otherwise, this Agreement shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State in which you
reside, without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions. To the extent that
the terms of this Agreement conflict with applicable state or federal law, such
state or federal law shall replace such conflicting terms only to the extent
required by law. Unless expressly stated otherwise, all other terms of this
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Unless our account agreement
with you states otherwise, you agree that any claim or dispute you may have
against us (other than those which are arbitrated under Section 28 of the
General Terms above) must be resolved by a court located in the county in which
you reside. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for
the purpose of litigating all claims or disputes unless said claim is submitted
to arbitration under Section 28 of the General Terms of this Agreement. The
United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods
shall not apply to this Agreement. Both parties agree to waive any right to
have a jury participate in the resolution of any dispute or claim between the
parties or any of their respective Affiliates arising under this Agreement.
30. Indemnification. You agree to defend, indemnify
and hold harmless us and our Affiliates and Service Providers and their
Affiliates and the employees and contractors of each of these, from any loss,
damage, claim or demand (including attorney’s fees) made or incurred by any
third party due to or arising out of your breach of this Agreement and/or your
use of the Site or the applicable Service.
31. Release. You release us and our Affiliates and
Service Providers and the employees and contractors of each of these, from any
and all claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind
and nature arising out of or in any way connected with any dispute that may
arise between you or one or more other users of the Site or the applicable
Service. In addition, if applicable to you, you waive California Civil Code
§1542, which states that a general release does not extend to claims which the
creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of
executing the release, which if not known by him must have materially affected
his settlement with the debtor.
32. No Waiver. We shall not be deemed to have
waived any rights or remedies hereunder unless such waiver is in writing and
signed by one of our authorized representatives. No delay or omission on our
part in exercising any rights or remedies shall operate as a waiver of such
rights or remedies or any other rights or remedies. A waiver on any one
occasion shall not be construed as a bar or waiver of any rights or remedies on
future occasions.
33. Exclusions of Warranties. THE SITE AND SERVICE
AND RELATED DOCUMENTATION ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF
ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,
AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. IN PARTICULAR, WE DO NOT GUARANTEE CONTINUOUS,
UNINTERRUPTED OR SECURE ACCESS TO ANY PART OF OUR SERVICE, AND OPERATION OF OUR
SITE MAY BE INTERFERED WITH BY NUMEROUS FACTORS OUTSIDE OF OUR CONTROL. SOME
STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE DISCLAIMER OF CERTAIN IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE
FOREGOING DISCLAIMERS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THIS PARAGRAPH GIVES YOU SPECIFIC
LEGAL RIGHTS AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER LEGAL RIGHTS THAT VARY FROM STATE TO
STATE.
34. Limitation of Liability. THE FOREGOING SHALL
CONSTITUTE YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES AND THE ENTIRE LIABILITY OF US AND OUR
AFFILIATES AND SERVICE PROVIDERS AND THE EMPLOYEES AND CONTRACTORS OF EACH OF
THESE, FOR THE SERVICE AND THE PORTION OF THE SITE THROUGH WHICH THE SERVICE IS
OFFERED. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT FROM TIME TO TIME, THE SERVICE MAY BE
DELAYED, INTERRUPTED OR DISRUPTED PERIODICALLY FOR AN INDETERMINATE AMOUNT OF
TIME DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND OUR REASONABLE CONTROL, INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO ANY INTERRUPTION, DISRUPTION OR FAILURE IN THE PROVISION OF THE
SERVICE, WHETHER CAUSED BY STRIKES, POWER FAILURES, EQUIPMENT MALFUNCTIONS
INTERNET DISRUPTION OR OTHER REASONS. IN NO EVENT SHALL WE OR OUR AFFILIATES OR
SERVICE PROVIDERS OR THE EMPLOYEES OR CONTRACTORS OF ANY OF THESE, BE LIABLE
FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE CAUSED BY OR ARISING OUT
OF ANY SUCH DELAY, INTERRUPTION, DISRUPTION OR SIMILAR FAILURE. IN NO EVENT
SHALL WE OR OUR AFFILIATES OR SERVICE PROVIDERS OR THE EMPLOYEES OR CONTRACTORS
OF ANY OF THESE, BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL,
CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF GOODWILL OR
LOST PROFITS (EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY THEREOF) ARISING IN ANY WAY
OUT OF THE INSTALLATION, USE, OR MAINTENANCE OF THE SERVICE OR THE PORTION OF

BILL PAYMENT SERVICE ADDITIONAL TERMS
1. Description of Service. The term "Bill
Payment Terms" means these Bill Payment Service Additional Terms. The bill
payment service (for purposes of these Bill Payment Terms, and the General
Terms as they apply to these Bill Payment Terms, the "Service")
enables you to receive, view, and pay bills from the Site.
2. Payment Scheduling. The earliest possible
Scheduled Payment Date for each Biller will be designated within the portion of
the Site through which the Service is offered when you are scheduling the
payment. Therefore, the Service will not permit you to select a Scheduled
Payment Date less than the earliest possible Scheduled Payment Date designated
for each Biller. When scheduling payments you must select a Scheduled Payment
Date that is no later than the actual Due Date reflected on your Biller
statement unless the Due Date falls on a non-Business Day. If the actual Due
Date falls on a non-Business Day, you must select a Scheduled Payment Date that
is at least one (1) Business Day before the actual Due Date. Scheduled Payment
Dates must be prior to any late date or grace period. Depending on the method
of payment, your Eligible Transaction Account may be debited prior to the
Scheduled Payment Date. For example, if the selected method of payment is a
draft, the draft arrives earlier than the Scheduled Payment Date due to
expedited delivery by the postal service, and the Biller immediately deposits
the draft, your Eligible Transaction Account may be debited earlier than the
Scheduled Payment Date.
3. The Service Guarantee. Due to circumstances beyond
the control of the Service, particularly delays in handling and posting
payments by Billers or financial institutions, some transactions may take
longer to be credited to your account. The Service will bear responsibility for
any late payment related charges up to $50.00 should a payment post after its
Due Date as long as the payment was scheduled in accordance with the Section 2
of the Bill Payment Terms (Payment Scheduling).
4. Payment Authorization and Payment Remittance. By
providing the Service with names and account information of Billers to whom you
wish to direct payments, you authorize the Service to follow the Payment
Instructions that it receives through the Site. In order to process payments
more efficiently and effectively, the Service may edit or alter payment data or
data formats in accordance with Biller directives.
When the Service receives a Payment Instruction, you authorize
the Service to debit your Eligible Transaction Account and remit funds on your
behalf so that the funds arrive as close as reasonably possible to the
Scheduled Payment Date designated by you. You also authorize the Service to
credit your Eligible Transaction Account for payments returned to the Service by
the United States Postal Service or Biller, or payments remitted to you on
behalf of another authorized user of the Service.
The Service will attempt to make all your payments properly.
However, the Service shall incur no liability and any Service Guarantee (as
described in Section 3 of the Bill Payment Terms) shall be void if the Service
is unable to complete any payments initiated by you because of the existence of
any one or more of the following circumstances:
1.
If, through no fault of the Service, your Eligible Transaction
Account does not contain sufficient funds to complete the transaction or the
transaction would exceed the credit limit of your overdraft account;
2.
The payment processing center is not working properly and you
know or have been advised by the Service about the malfunction before you
execute the transaction;
3.
You have not provided the Service with the correct Eligible
Transaction Account information, or the correct name, address, phone number, or
account information for the Biller; and/or,
4.
Circumstances beyond control of the Service (such as, but not
limited to, fire, flood, or interference from an outside force) prevent the
proper execution of the transaction and the Service has taken reasonable precautions
to avoid those circumstances.
Provided none of the foregoing exceptions are applicable, if the
Service causes an incorrect amount of funds to be removed from your Eligible
Transaction Account or causes funds from your Eligible Transaction Account to
be directed to a Biller which does not comply with your Payment Instructions,
the Service shall be responsible for returning the improperly transferred funds
to your Eligible Transaction Account, and for directing to the proper Biller
any previously misdirected transactions, and, if applicable, for any late
payment related charges.
5. Payment Cancellation Requests. You
may cancel or edit any Scheduled Payment (including recurring payments) by
following the directions within the portion of the Site through which the
Service is offered. There is no charge for canceling or editing a Scheduled
Payment. Once the Service has begun processing a payment it cannot be cancelled
or edited, therefore a stop payment request must be submitted.
6. Stop Payment Requests. The Service's ability to
process a stop payment request will depend on the payment method and whether or
not a check has cleared. The Service may also not have a reasonable opportunity
to act on any stop payment request after a payment has been processed. If you
desire to stop any payment that has already been processed, you must contact
customer care for the Service in the manner set forth in Section 22 of the
General Terms above. Although the Service will attempt to accommodate your
request, the Service will have no liability for failing to do so. The Service
may also require you to present your request in writing within fourteen (14)
days. The charge for each stop payment request will be the current charge for
such service as set out in the applicable fee schedule.
7. Exception Payments Requests.
Exception Payments may be scheduled through the Service, however Exception
Payments are discouraged and must be scheduled at your own risk. Except as
required by applicable law, in no event shall the Service be liable for any
claims or damages resulting from your scheduling of Exception Payments. The
Service Guarantee (as described in Section 3 of the Bill Payment Terms) does
not apply to Exception Payments.
8. Bill Delivery and Presentment. The
Service includes a feature that electronically presents you with electronic
bills from select Billers. Electronic bills may not be available from all of
your Billers. Electronic bills are provided as a convenience only, and you
remain solely responsible for contacting your Billers directly if you do not
receive their statements. In addition, if you elect to activate one of the
Service's electronic bill options, you also agree to the following:
1.
Presentation of electronic bills. You
will receive electronic bills from a Biller only if both: (a) you have
designated it in the Service as one of your Billers, and (b) the Biller has
arranged with our Service Provider to deliver electronic bills. The Service may
then present you with electronic bills from that Biller if either: (1) you
affirmatively elect online within the Service to receive electronic bills from
the Biller, or (2) the Biller chooses to send you electronic bills on a
temporary “trial basis.” In either case, you can elect online within the
Service to stop receiving electronic bills from a Biller. Electing to receive
electronic bills, automatically receiving trial electronic bills, and declining
further elected or trial electronic bills all occur on an individual Biller
basis. The Service does not include an option to prevent ever participating in
the automatic trial electronic bill feature. When affirmatively electing to
receive electronic bills from a particular Biller, you may be presented with
terms from that Biller for your acceptance. We are not a party to such terms.
2.
Paper Copies of electronic bills. If you
start receiving electronic bills from a Biller, the Biller may stop sending you
paper or other statements. The ability to receive a paper copy of your
statement(s) is at the sole discretion of the Biller. Check with the individual
Biller regarding your ability to obtain paper copies of electronic bills on a
regular or as-requested basis.
3.
Sharing Information with Billers. You
authorize us to share identifying personal information about you (such as name,
address, telephone number, Biller account number) with companies that you have
identified as your Billers and which we have identified as offering electronic
bills for purposes of matching your identity on the Service’s records and the
Biller’s records to (a) activate your affirmative request for electronic bills,
and/or (b) confirm your eligibility for “trial basis” electronic bills.
4.
Information held by the Biller. We are
unable to update or change your personal information such as, but not limited
to, name, address, phone numbers and email addresses, that is held by the
Biller. Any changes will require you to contact the Biller directly.
Additionally it is your responsibility to maintain all usernames and passwords
for all electronic Biller sites. You also agree not to use someone else's
information to gain unauthorized access to another person's bill. We may, at
the request of the Biller, provide to the Biller your email address, service
address, or other data specifically requested by the Biller for purposes of the
Biller matching your identity against its records or informing you about the
Biller’s services and/or bill information.
5.
Activation. We will notify the Biller of your request
to receive electronic billing information. The presentment of your first
electronic bill may vary from Biller to Biller and may take up to sixty (60)
days, depending on the billing cycle of each Biller. While your electronic bill
feature is being activated it is your responsibility to keep your accounts
current. Each electronic Biller reserves the right to accept or deny your
request to receive electronic bills.
6.
Authorization to obtain bill data. You
authorize us to obtain bill data from your Billers that you have requested to
send you electronic bills, and from your Billers that wish to send you trial
electronic bills. For some Billers, you will be asked to provide us with your
user name and password for that Biller. By providing us with such information,
you authorize us to use the information to obtain your bill data.
7.
Notification. We will attempt to present all
of your electronic bills promptly. In addition to notification within the
Service, we may send an e-mail notification to the e-mail address listed for
your account. It is your sole responsibility to ensure that this information is
accurate. In the event you do not receive notification, it is your
responsibility to periodically logon to the Service and check on the delivery
of new electronic bills. The time for notification may vary from Biller to
Biller. You are responsible for ensuring timely payment of all bills.
8.
Cancellation of electronic bill notification. The
electronic Biller reserves the right to cancel the presentment of electronic
bills at any time. You may cancel electronic bill presentment at any time. The
timeframe for cancellation of your electronic bill presentment may vary from
Biller to Biller. It may take up to sixty (60) days, depending on the billing
cycle of each Biller. We will notify your electronic Biller(s) as to the change
in status of your account and it is your sole responsibility to make
arrangements for an alternative form of bill delivery. We will not be
responsible for presenting any electronic bills that are already in process at
the time of cancellation.
9.
Non-Delivery of electronic bill(s). You
agree to hold us harmless should the Biller fail to deliver your statement(s).
You are responsible for ensuring timely payment of all bills. Copies of
previously delivered bills must be requested from the Biller directly.
10. Accuracy
and dispute of electronic bill. We are not responsible for the
accuracy of your electronic bill(s). We are only responsible for presenting the
information we receive from the Biller. Any discrepancies or disputes regarding
the accuracy of your electronic bill summary or detail must be directly
addressed and resolved with the Biller by you.
This Agreement does not alter your liability or obligations that
currently exist between you and your Billers.

and does not confirm that the transmission was complete or error free, or that
the
amount
of the check will be finally collected from the drawee institutions and/or
credited to
your
Account. If, after we confirm the receipt of a check image, we determine that
the check is
a
Prohibited Check, you agree that we may charge the amount of the check back to
your
Account.
You agree that we will not be liable to you for any loss, costs, or fees as a
result of the
exercise
of our chargeback rights.
Contingency Plan
The MDC
Service is provided by us to you as a convenience. Because the Service could be
unavailable
from time to time for various reasons, you should not rely on the Service as
the sole
means of
depositing checks to your Account. If you wish to deposit any check to your
Account
and you
are unable to transmit the image of the check to us through the Service or are
unable
to use
the Service in compliance with the terms of this Agreement for any reason
(including,
without
limitation, reasons related to communications, equipment or software outages,
interruptions
or failures), you acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for
using
alternative
available means of depositing the check to your Account, such as depositing the
check in
person at any Credit Union branch location or through any Credit Union ATM.
Such
alternative
means will be governed by the terms and conditions of our Deposit Account
Agreement
and not by the terms of this Agreement.
Returned Checks
If
Images of Checks deposited by Member are dishonored or otherwise 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,
Member understands and agrees that, since Member either maintains the original
Check or has destroyed the original Check in accordance with Section 5 of this
Agreement, the original Check will not be returned, and State ECU may charge
back an Image of the Check to Member’s Account. Member understands and agrees
that the Image may be in the form of an electronic or paper reproduction of the
original Check or a substitute check. Unless otherwise instructed by us, Member
agrees not to deposit the original Check if an Image or other debit as
previously described is charged back to Member. Returned items may result in
termination of MDC service.

the Service.

CheckFree
TERMS
AND CONDITIONS OF THE BILL PAYMENT SERVICE
SERVICE
DEFINITIONS
"Service" means the bill payment service offered by
CheckFree Small Business through CheckFree Services Corporation.
"Agreement" means these terms and conditions of the bill
payment service.
"Biller" is the person or entity to which you wish a
bill payment to be directed or is the person or entity from which you receive
electronic bills, as the case may be.
"Payment Instruction" is the information provided by you
to the Service for a bill payment to be made to the Biller (such as, but not
limited to, Biller name, Biller account number, and Scheduled Payment Date).
"Payment Account" is the checking account from which
bill payments will be debited.
"Billing Account" is the checking account from which all
Service fees will be automatically debited.
"Business Day" is every Monday through Friday, excluding
Federal Reserve holidays.
"Scheduled Payment Date" is the day you want your Biller
to receive your bill payment and is also the day your Payment Account will be
debited, unless the Scheduled Payment Date falls on a non-Business Day in which
case it will be considered to be the previous Business Day.
"Due Date" is the date reflected on your Biller
statement for which the payment is due; it is not the late date or grace
period.
"Scheduled Payment" is a payment that has been scheduled
through the Service but has not begun processing.
PAYMENT
SCHEDULING
The earliest possible Scheduled Payment Date for each Biller
(typically four (4) or fewer Business Days from the current date) will be
designated within the application when you are scheduling the payment.
Therefore, the application will not permit you to select a Scheduled Payment
Date less than the earliest possible Scheduled Payment Date designated for each
Biller. When scheduling payments you must select a Scheduled Payment Date that
is no later than the actual Due Date reflected on your Biller statement unless
the Due Date falls on a non-Business Day. If the actual Due Date falls on a
non-Business Day, you must select a Scheduled Payment Date that is at least one
(1) Business Day before the actual Due Date. Scheduled Payment Dates must be
prior to any late date or grace period.
THE
SERVICE GUARANTEE
Due to circumstances beyond the control of the Service,
particularly delays in handling and posting payments by Billers or financial
institutions, some transactions may take longer to be credited to your account.
The Service will bear responsibility for any late payment related charges up to
$50.00 should a payment post after its Due Date as long as the payment was
scheduled in accordance with the guidelines described under "Payment
Scheduling" in this Agreement.
PAYMENT
AUTHORIZATION AND PAYMENT REMITTANCE
You represent and warrant that you are acting with full authority
for the applying entity, and that you are duly authorized to execute this
Agreement on behalf of the applying entity. By providing the Service with names
and account information of Billers to whom you wish to direct payments, you
authorize the Service to follow the Payment Instructions that it receives
through the payment system. In order to process payments more efficiently and
effectively, the Service may edit or alter payment data or data formats in
accordance with Biller directives.
When the Service receives a Payment Instruction, you authorize the
Service to debit your Payment Account and remit funds on your behalf so that
the funds arrive as close as reasonably possible to the Scheduled Payment Date
designated by you. You also authorize the Service to credit your Payment
Account for payments returned to the Service by the United States Postal
Service or Biller, or payments remitted to you on behalf of another authorized
user of the Service.
The Service will use its best efforts to make all your payments
properly. However, the Service shall incur no liability and any Service
Guarantee shall be void if the Service is unable to complete any payments
initiated by you because of the existence of any one or more of the following
circumstances:
1.
If, through no fault of the Service, your Payment Account does not
contain sufficient funds to complete the transaction or the transaction would
exceed the credit limit of your overdraft account;
2.
The payment processing center is not working properly and you know
or have been advised by the Service about the malfunction before you execute
the transaction;
3.
You have not provided the Service with the correct Payment Account
information, or the correct name, address, phone number, or account information
for the Biller; and/or,
4.
Circumstances beyond control of the Service (such as, but not
limited to, fire, flood, or interference from an outside force) prevent the
proper execution of the transaction and the Service has taken reasonable
precautions to avoid those circumstances.
Provided none of the foregoing exceptions are applicable, if the
Service causes an incorrect amount of funds to be removed from your Payment
Account or causes funds from your Payment Account to be directed to a Biller
which does not comply with your Payment Instructions, the Service shall be
responsible for returning the improperly transferred funds to your Payment
Account, and for directing to the proper Biller any previously misdirected
transactions, and, if applicable, for any late payment related charges.
PAYMENT
METHODS
The Service reserves the right to select the method in which to
remit funds on your behalf to your Biller. These payment methods may include,
but may not be limited to, an electronic payment, an electronic to check
payment, or a laser draft payment (funds remitted to the Biller are deducted
from your Payment Account when the laser draft is presented to your financial institution
for payment).
PAYMENT
CANCELLATION REQUESTS
You may cancel or edit any Scheduled Payment (including recurring
payments) by following the directions within the application. There is no
charge for canceling or editing a Scheduled Payment. Once the Service has begun
processing a payment it cannot be cancelled or edited, therefore a stop payment
request must be submitted.
STOP
PAYMENT REQUESTS
The Service's ability to process a stop payment request will
depend on the payment method and whether or not a check has cleared. The
Service may also not have a reasonable opportunity to act on any stop payment
request after a payment has been processed. If you desire to stop any payment
that has already been processed, you must contact Customer Service. Although
the Service will make every effort to accommodate your request, the Service
will have no liability for failing to do so. The Service may also require you
to present your request in writing within fourteen (14) days. The charge for
each stop payment request will be the current charge for such service as set
out in the applicable fee schedule.
PROHIBITED
PAYMENTS
Payments to Billers outside of the United States or its
territories are prohibited through the Service.
EXCEPTION
PAYMENTS
Tax payments and court ordered payments may be scheduled through
the Service, however such payments are discouraged and must be scheduled at
your own risk. In no event shall the Service be liable for any claims or
damages resulting from your scheduling of these types of payments. The Service
Guarantee as it applies to any late payment related changes is void when these
types of payments are scheduled and/or processed by the Service. The Service
has no obligation to research or resolve any claim resulting from an exception
payment. All research and resolution for any misapplied, mis-posted or
misdirected payments will be the sole responsibility of you and not of the Service.
BILL
DELIVERY AND PRESENTMENT
This feature is for the presentment of electronic bills only and
it is your sole responsibility to contact your Billers directly if you do not
receive your statements. In addition, if you elect to activate one of the Service's
electronic bill options, you also agree to the following:
Information provided to the Biller - The Service is unable to
update or change your personal information such as, but not limited to, name,
address, phone numbers and email addresses, with the electronic Biller. Any
changes will need to be made by contacting the Biller directly. Additionally it
is your responsibility to maintain all usernames and passwords for all
electronic Biller sites. You also agree not to use someone else's information
to gain unauthorized access to another person's bill. The Service may, at the
request of the Biller, provide to the Biller your email address, service
address, or other data specifically requested by the Biller at the time of
activating the electronic bill for that Biller, for purposes of the Biller
informing you about Service and/or bill information.
Activation - Upon activation of the electronic bill feature the
Service may notify the Biller of your request to receive electronic billing
information. The presentment of your first electronic bill may vary from Biller
to Biller and may take up to sixty (60) days, depending on the billing cycle of
each Biller. Additionally, the ability to receive a paper copy of your
statement(s) is at the sole discretion of the Biller. While your electronic
bill feature is being activated it is your responsibility to keep your accounts
current. Each electronic Biller reserves the right to accept or deny your
request to receive electronic bills.
Authorization to obtain bill data - Your activation of the
electronic bill feature for a Biller shall be deemed by us to be your
authorization for us to obtain bill data from the Biller on your behalf. For
some Billers, you will be asked to provide us with your user name and password
for that Biller. By providing us with such information, you authorize us to use
the information to obtain your bill data.
Notification - The Service will use its best efforts to present
all of your electronic bills promptly. In addition to notification within the
Service, the Service may send an email notification to the email address listed
for your account. It is your sole responsibility to ensure that this
information is accurate. In the event you do not receive notification, it is
your responsibility to periodically logon to the Service and check on the
delivery of new electronic bills. The time for notification may vary from
Biller to Biller. You are responsible for ensuring timely payment of all bills.
Cancellation of electronic bill notification - The electronic
Biller reserves the right to cancel the presentment of electronic bills at any
time. You may cancel electronic bill presentment at any time. The timeframe for
cancellation of your electronic bill presentment may vary from Biller to
Biller. It may take up to sixty (60) days, depending on the billing cycle of each
Biller. The Service will notify your electronic Biller(s) as to the change in
status of your account and it is your sole responsibility to make arrangements
for an alternative form of bill delivery. The Service will not be responsible
for presenting any electronic bills that are already in process at the time of
cancellation.
Non-Delivery of electronic bill(s) - You agree to hold the Service
harmless should the Biller fail to deliver your statement(s). You are
responsible for ensuring timely payment of all bills. Copies of previously
delivered bills must be requested from the Biller directly.
Accuracy and dispute of electronic bill - The Service is not
responsible for the accuracy of your electronic bill(s). The Service is only
responsible for presenting the information we receive from the Biller. Any
discrepancies or disputes regarding the accuracy of your electronic bill
summary or detail must be addressed with the Biller directly.
This Agreement does not alter your liability or obligations that
currently exist between you and your Billers.

your liability is no more than $50.00 should someone access your account
without your permission. If you do not tell us within two (2) Business Days
after you learn of such loss or theft, and we can prove that we could have
prevented the unauthorized use of your password or other means to access your
account if you had told us, you could be liable for as much as $500.00. If your
monthly financial institution statement contains transfers that you did not
authorize, you must tell us at once. If you do not tell us within sixty (60)
days after the statement was sent to you, you may lose any amount transferred
without your authorization after the sixty (60) days if we can prove that we
could have stopped someone from taking the money had you told us in time. If a
