Remote Deposit Capture Agreement

In this Remote Deposit Capture Services Disclosure and Agreement ("RDC Agreement"), the words "you" and "your" mean the consumer or business applying for and/or using any of the Remote Deposit Capture Services (the "RDC Services") described in this Agreement. The words "we," "us" and "Credit Union" mean KeyPoint Credit Union. By requesting and using Remote Deposit Capture Services, you agree that agreements governing the Credit Union accounts you access using the Services ("Account Agreements") are incorporated into and made part of this RDC Agreement. In the event of a discrepancy between this RDC Agreement and your Account Agreements, this RDC Agreement will control.

Use of the Services. You can use RDC Services to remotely deposit paper checks payable to you to your Credit Union account that you designate as your RDC settlement account ("Account") by electronically transmitting a digital image of the paper check to us for deposit. Your use of the Services constitutes your acceptance of the terms and conditions of this RDC Agreement. To use the Services, you will need a smartphone or a tablet with a camera and Internet access. Upon our receipt of a digital image the front and back of a check ("Check Image") from you, we will review the Check Image for acceptability. We will not be deemed to have received a Check Image until after we notify you of receipt of the Check Image via onscreen messaging and/or email notification. Your receipt of a notice from us confirming receipt of a Check Image does not mean that the Check Image contains no errors or that we are responsible for any information you transmit to us. We are not responsible for any Check Image that we do not receive. Following receipt of the Check Image, we may process the Check Image by preparing a "substitute check" as defined in the Check Clearing Act for the 21st Century or by 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 remote deposit into your Account. Any amount credited to your Account for items deposited using RDC Services is a provisional credit and you agree to indemnify the Credit Union against any loss we suffer because of our acceptance of the remotely deposited check.

In addition, you agree that you will not (i) modify, change, alter, translate, create derivative works from, reverse engineer, disassemble or decompile the technology or RDC Services, (ii) copy or reproduce all or any part of the technology or RDC Services; or (iii) interfere, or attempt to interfere, with the technology or RDC Services.

Personal Guarantee Specific to Deposits Received for Credit to a Business Account:

Your use of the RDC Services for the purpose of depositing to a Business Account constitutes your understanding and agreement that you may be personally liable for any expenses that we incur in attempting to obtain final payment for the item in question, outside of the routine costs associated with item processing, in the event the Business on whose behalf you make this Guarantee defaults. This includes but is not limited to recovery of the amount credited in the event of non-payment, collection costs and attorney’s fees as applicable, as well as any and all costs associated with our enforcing this Guarantee. This Guarantee shall benefit the Credit Union and our successors and assigns.

Compliance with Law. You agree to use the products and Service for lawful purposes and in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, as well as all laws pertaining to the conduct of your business if applicable. You warrant that you will only transmit acceptable items for deposit and have handled the original items in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. You promise to indemnify and hold us harmless from any damages, liabilities, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees) or other harm arising out of any violation thereof. This indemnity will survive termination of your Account and this RDC Agreement. You further agree not to use any Credit Union product, service or access device for illegal activity such as illegal online gambling.

Check Requirements. Any image of a check that you transmit must accurately and legibly provide all the information on the front and back of the check at the time presented to you by the drawer. Prior to capturing the original check, you must endorse the back of the original check consistent with any endorsement specifications set forth in your Account Agreements. The image of the check transmitted to us must accurately and legibly provide, among other things, the following information: (1) the information identifying the drawer and the paying bank that is preprinted on the check, including complete and accurate MICR information and the signature(s); and (2) 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. The image quality for the check will meet the standards for image quality established by the American National Standards Institute ("ANSI"), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, and any other regulatory agency, clearing house or association. You understand that you are solely responsible for the quality of the Check Image submitted for deposit using RDC Services.

Rejection of Deposit. We are not liable for any service or late charges levied against you due to our rejection of any item submitted by Remote Deposit Capture. In all cases, you are responsible for any loss or overdraft plus any applicable fees to your Account due to an item being returned.

Items Returned Unpaid. A written notice will be sent to you of transactions we are unable to process because of returned items. With respect to any item that you transmit to us for remote deposit that we credit to your Account, in the event such item is dishonored, you authorize us to debit the amount of such item from the Account of deposit. All credits resulting from Remote Deposit Capture are provisional until final payment by the institution on which the deposited item is drawn.

Joint and Several Liability for Joint Accounts. If a Credit Union Account has more than one owner, whether that person is designated as a "member," "joint owner" or otherwise, each owner acknowledges joint and several liability for all activity occurring on the joint Account. Each of you agrees that if you become indebted to us as a result of authorized use of the Services and that debt is not paid upon our demand or as otherwise required by any Agreement any of you have with us, we can, unless prohibited by law or an agreement governing an Account, take funds from any Credit Union Account in which any of you has an interest to recover all or part of the unpaid debt, without notice and without waiving other rights we have to collect the debt.
