Please read it carefully.

The terms and conditions of the deposit agreements and disclosures for each of your Hanscom FCU accounts as well as your other agreements with Hanscom FCU such as agreements regarding loans and other products and services, continue to apply notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, and to the extent of any conflict between this Agreement and any other agreement with Hanscom FCU relating to specific accounts or products, such other agreement(s) shall supersede and be controlling in all respects unless this Agreement specifically states otherwise. For example; restrictions on the number of transactions you can make related to money market or savings accounts.

Hanscom Federal Credit Union is also not responsible for any device virus or related problems that may be associated with the use of the system.

2. Protecting Your Password

Your password is confidential, so you should not reveal it to anyone else. If you do disclose your username or password to a third party or allow a third party to use your Device’s authentication feature, you are authorizing that party to make transactions on your accounts. You agree that we may rely on the authority of anyone who provides your password or uses your device’s authentication feature to access a Service (an “Authorized User”). We will not be liable for and will not reimburse you for any losses that may occur as a result of the use of your username and password or your device’s authentication feature by such Authorized Users. You agree to tell us immediately if someone you did not authorize learns your password or is able to use your device’s authentication feature. Except as otherwise provided by law, you will indemnify Hanscom FCU and hold it harmless for any loss or expense caused by any person who accesses your accounts using any password or device authentication feature as described in this Agreement.

Your password and Login ID are intended to provide security against unauthorized entry and access to your accounts. For security purposes, you are required to change your temporary password and Login ID upon your initial login to the Service. You determine what password you will use and the identity of your password is not communicated to us. You agree that we are authorized to act on instructions received under your password and Login ID. You accept responsibility for the confidentiality and security of your password and agree to change your password regularly.

If you have forgotten your password, before entering it wrong five times, select the “Forgot Password” option and you may choose to receive a “Secure Access Code” at one of the e-mail addresses or phone numbers you have on your membership. Upon five unsuccessful attempts entering your password, your access to the Service will be disabled for 24 hours. To re-establish your authorization to use the Service before the 24 hour period expires, you must contact us to have your access to the Service re-enabled. Passwords must be between 5 and 15 characters in length and must contain at least one number. Also, avoid using passwords that are associated with identification which would readily be associated with you, such as social security number, date of birth, business or product names, names of employees, and addresses. Passwords should be memorized, not written down.

3. Accessing Your Account

To use the Service, you must have a membership at Hanscom FCU, access to Internet service, and an e-mail address. It is your responsibility to provide your own Internet service and e-mail access.

We are entitled to presume that any access to the Service utilizing a valid password has been duly authorized and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, that you have followed your internal procedures for controlling and managing your internal distribution of your password. We are under no obligation to monitor transactions through the Service to determine whether they were made on your behalf. You can use the Service to check the balance of your accounts, view account histories, transfer funds between your accounts, and perform other services as provided from time to time. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Hanscom FCU may, from time to time, make additional feature functionality available utilizing the Service. A list of such features is available from Hanscom FCU. In order to obtain any such features utilizing the Service, Hanscom FCU may require the execution of additional agreements. Such additional features may require the payment of additional fees.

4. Hours of Access

You may access the Service seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day, although some or all Services may not be available occasionally due to emergency or scheduled system maintenance. However, as provided for more fully herein, the fact that you initiate a transaction at a specified time does not mean that it will be processed then. Certain transactions are processed only on business days and at certain times.

5. Security

You understand and acknowledge the importance and essential nature of your role in preventing misuse of your accounts through the Service and you agree to promptly examine your statement for each of your Hanscom FCU accounts as soon as you receive it and report to us immediately any known or suspected errors, problems, or concerns. You agree to protect the confidentiality of your membership, member number, Login ID and password. You understand and acknowledge that your password and/or information related to your account(s) may allow or facilitate unauthorized access to your account(s).
Data transferred via the Service is encrypted in an effort to provide transmission security, and the Service utilizes identification technology to verify that the sender and receiver of Service transmissions can be appropriately identified by each other. Notwithstanding our efforts to insure that the Service is secure, you acknowledge that the Internet is inherently unsecure and that all data transfers, including electronic mail, occur openly on the Internet and potentially can be monitored and read by others. We cannot and do not warrant that all data transfers utilizing the Service, or e-mail transmitted to and from us, will not be monitored or read by others. Furthermore, it is possible that as technology continues to develop, new ways to decode encrypted messages will become available.

General Description of EasyDeposit - Subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement, Hanscom FCU shall provide EasyDeposit to you, which allows you to make deposits to your Accounts from your home or office by capturing checks on your Device and delivering the images and information required hereby to Hanscom FCU. The Device must capture an image of the front and back of each Check (as herein defined) to be deposited (each an “Image” and, if more than one, “Images”) in accordance with the Procedures (as herein defined), must read and capture the magnetic ink character recognition (“MICR”) line on each check and must read and capture all such other data and information as is required by this Agreement. After capture of the Images, the MICR line on each check and all other required data and information from each check, you will transmit one or more files containing the Images, the MICR line from each check and all other required data and information from or pertaining to all checks, data and other required information (each such file a “File” and, if more than one, “Files”) to Hanscom FCU via the Internet. Subject to compliance with the terms, provisions and conditions of, and as provided in, this Agreement, Hanscom FCU will provisionally credit the designated Account by you for the amount of the deposit(s) to which the File(s) pertains on the day of receipt of the File(s) and enter the images of the checks into the collection process in accordance with the provisions of Hanscom FCU’s then current Disclosure for Personal Accounts pertaining to the Account into which the deposit is to be made (the “Deposit Agreement”) and this Agreement. You acknowledge and agree that Hanscom FCU may discontinue and/or change the terms of EasyDeposit or any related content, features, products or services associated therewith, at any time without notice or liability to you or any third party.

(ii) Checks Deposited and Security Interest – You hereby agree that you will only capture and deposit a check as that term is defined in Federal Reserve Board Regulation CC (“Reg CC”). You agree that the image of the check that is transmitted to Hanscom FCU (each such check and other item a “Check” and, if more than one, “Checks”) shall be deemed an “item” within the meaning of Article 4 of the Uniform Commercial Code (1990 Official Text). You further agree that you will not remotely deposit any check(s) or other item(s) that: (a) are payable to any person or entity other than you, (b) are prohibited by Hanscom FCU’s then current procedures pertaining to the Service (the “Procedures”) or are in violation of any law, rule or regulation, (c) you know or suspect, or should know or suspect, is fraudulent or otherwise not authorized by the owner of the account on which the Check is drawn, (d) have not been previously endorsed by Hanscom FCU and are either “substitute checks” (as defined in Reg CC or other applicable federal law or regulation) or “image replacement documents” that purport to be substitute checks, without Hanscom FCU’s prior written consent, (e) are drawn on financial institutions that are located outside of the United States or Territories of the United States, (f) is a Remotely Created Check, as that term is defined in Reg CC, or (g) which are not acceptable to Hanscom FCU for deposit into a deposit account as provided in the Deposit Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof (Checks described in clauses (a) through (g) each a “Prohibited Check” and, collectively, “Prohibited Checks”). If you deposit a Prohibited Check, you agree to indemnify and reimburse Hanscom FCU for, and hold Hanscom FCU harmless from and against, any and all losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees) Hanscom FCU may incur associated with any warranty, indemnity or other claim related thereto. Furthermore, if, after first having obtained Hanscom FCU’s written consent to do so, you provide Hanscom FCU with an electronic representation of a substitute check for deposit into an Account instead of an original Check, you agree to indemnify and reimburse Hanscom FCU for, and hold Hanscom FCU harmless from and against, any and all losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees) Hanscom FCU incurs because any such substitute check resulting from such electronic representation does not meet applicable substitute check standards and/or causes duplicate payments.
You grant Hanscom FCU a security interest in all Accounts or other deposits (whether general or special) of yours at Hanscom FCU, and in all funds in such Accounts or other deposits, to secure your obligations to Hanscom FCU under this Agreement. This security interest will survive termination of this Agreement.
You may be required to maintain a reserve (“Settlement Reserve”) of an amount to be solely determined by the Hanscom FCU. You acknowledge and agree that any Settlement Reserve will be deposited in a Hanscom FCU account for exclusive use by the Hanscom FCU for purposes of offsetting any of your obligations under this Agreement. You grant the Hanscom FCU a security interest in any Settlement Reserve to enable the Hanscom FCU to enforce any obligation owed by you under this Agreement without notice or demand to you. Your obligation to maintain a Settlement Reserve shall survive the termination of this Agreement, with such obligation lasting until all of your obligations under this Agreement have been fully offset.

(iii) Capturing of Checks and Transmission of Files – You shall (a) restrictively endorse each Check to be deposited in the proper location as specified in Exhibit “A” which is attached hereto and incorporated by this reference, (b) capture the front and back of each Check to be deposited and thereby capture the image of the front and back of each Check and capture the MICR encoding on, and any other required data from, each Check and (c) transmit the File containing the images of, the MICR line from and all other required data and information from or pertaining to, such Checks and other information to Hanscom FCU in accordance with the Procedures, a copy of which Procedures have either heretofore been, or are herewith, provided to you by Hanscom FCU, and you acknowledge receipt thereof. Hanscom FCU reserves the right to amend the Procedures, with or without prior notice to you..

To ensure accuracy, you shall balance the dollar amount of each deposit to the sum of the Checks prior to transmitting the File in accordance with the Procedures. You may send multiple Files to Hanscom FCU throughout the day. You shall not make deposits in excess of the following deposit limits (the “Deposit Limit”):

“Per Deposit Limit” - $10,000
“Daily Deposit Limit” - $10,000
“Rolling 30-Day Deposit Limit” - $50,000.00

If the total dollar value of the Files sent by you to Hanscom FCU exceeds the Deposit Limit, Hanscom FCU may, at its option, refuse to accept the File that exceeds the Deposit Limit, or Hanscom FCU may accept and process the File. You agree not to exceed the Deposit Limit. To be eligible for processing on the day transmitted, Files must be received by Hanscom FCU no later than 4:00 P.M. EST on a business day we are open (the “Cut-Off Time”). A File is considered received by Hanscom FCU when a complete copy of such File has been written on a Hanscom FCU electronic storage device in conformity with Hanscom FCU’s technical and operational requirements. To meet the Cut-Off Time, the entire File must be received by Hanscom FCU prior to the Cut-Off Time, and the File must successfully pass the edits for conformity with the technical requirements. For purposes of determining when a File has been delivered and received, Hanscom FCU’s records shall be determinative. A File which is not balanced in accordance with the Procedures or which is received after the Cut-Off Time shall be deemed to have been received on the business day following the business day on which the File is actually received by Hanscom FCU. Hanscom FCU reserves the right to change the number of Files that may be transmitted in a day, the Deposit Limit and the Cut-Off Time. All such changes shall be effective immediately and may be implemented prior to your receipt of notice thereof. You may contact Hanscom FCU at any time to verify the current number of Files that may be transmitted in a day, the Deposit Limit and the Cut-Off Time.

(iv) Maintenance and Destruction of Original Check – You shall mark the original Check “Processed” after the process of scanning the Check in accordance with Section E.5.(iii) of this Agreement. You shall securely store all original Checks for a period of forty-five (45) days after you has received notice from Hanscom FCU that the File containing the images of such Checks has been accepted (such period the “Retention Period”). During the Retention Period, you shall take appropriate security measures to ensure that: (a) only authorized personnel shall have access to original Checks, (b) the information contained on such Checks shall not be disclosed, (c) such Checks will not be duplicated or captured more than one time and (d) such Checks will not be deposited or negotiated in any form. You shall destroy original Checks upon the expiration of the Retention Period applicable to such Checks. You will use commercially reasonable methods of destruction approved by Hanscom FCU to destroy original Checks after expiration of the Retention Period. You hereby indemnify Hanscom FCU for, and hold Hanscom FCU harmless from and against, any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, losses and damages, of whatever nature or kind, and regardless of the theory upon which the same is (are) based, caused directly or indirectly by, arising out of, related to, in connection with or resulting wholly or partially from, the destruction of original Checks by you. You will promptly (but in all events within 5 business days) provide any retained Check (or, if the Check is no longer in existence, a sufficient copy of the front and back of the Check) to Hanscom FCU as requested to aid in the clearing and collection process or to resolve claims by third parties with respect to any Check.

(v) Image and MICR Quality - Each File transmitted by you to Hanscom FCU shall contain Images of the front and the back of the Checks captured and remotely deposited by you. Each Image of each Check shall be of such quality that the following information can clearly be read and understood by sight review of such Image:

(b) the payee of the Check;
(c) the signature of the drawer of the Check;
(d) the date of the Check;
(e) the Check number;
(f) the information identifying the drawer and the paying bank that is preprinted on the Check, including the MICR line; and
(g) all 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 indorsements applied to the back of the Check.

Each Image shall also meet all standards for image quality established by the American National Standards Institute (“ANSI”), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve or any other regulatory agency, clearing house or association.

You shall also capture and transmit to Hanscom FCU the full-field MICR encoding on each Check. In accordance with the Procedures, you shall ensure that the following information is captured from the MICR line of each Check:
(aa) the American Bankers Association routing transit number;
(bb) the number of the account on which the Check is drawn;
(cc) when encoded, the amount of the Check; and
(dd) when encoded, the serial number and the process control field of the Check.

(vi) Receipt of File - You agree that you shall be solely liable for, and Hanscom FCU shall not have any liability whatsoever to you for, any File or the Images or other information contained therein that are not received by Hanscom FCU or for any File or the Images or other information contained therein that are intercepted or altered by an unauthorized third party. You agree that Hanscom FCU has no obligation to accept a File and, therefore, may reject any File or the Images or other information contained therein submitted by you. Hanscom FCU has no obligation to notify you of the rejection of a File or the Images or other information contained therein. Hanscom FCU shall have no liability to you for the rejection of a File or the Images or other information contained therein or for the failure to notify you of such rejection. Upon receipt of a File submitted by you, Hanscom FCU may examine such File and the Images and other information contained therein to ensure that you have complied with this Agreement and followed the Procedures. If Hanscom FCU determines that you have not complied with this Agreement or followed the Procedures or if errors exist in the Images or other information contained in the File, Hanscom FCU, in its sole discretion, may either reject the File or elect to correct the error and accept and process the corrected File (a “Corrected File”). As a form of correction, Hanscom FCU may credit your Account for the full amount of the deposit and make any necessary adjustments to the Account to correct the error. Hanscom FCU may, at its option, also perform a risk management analysis of one or more Files submitted by you to detect potentially fraudulent Checks, and, in its sole discretion, Hanscom FCU may reject any such File or the Images or other information contained therein. If after examination of a File and the Images and other information contained therein, Hanscom FCU determines that you have complied with this Agreement and processed and transmitted the File in accordance herewith and with the Procedures, the File is balanced and the Images meet the requirements of Section E.5.(v) of this Agreement, then Hanscom FCU shall accept the File (an “Accepted File”) for deposit to your Account. Upon acceptance of the File, Hanscom FCU shall electronically notify you of receipt and acceptance of the Accepted File for deposit. Information and data reported hereunder: (a) may be received prior to final posting and confirmation and is subject to correction and (b) is for informational purposes only and may not be relied upon. You agree that Hanscom FCU shall have no liability for the content of payment-related information. Notwithstanding the fact that Hanscom FCU has accepted a File for deposit, any credit made to your Account shall be provisional, and you shall remain liable to Hanscom FCU for any errors, inaccuracies, breach of warranties and any other loss sustained by, or claim made against, Hanscom FCU.

(vii) Provisional Credit and Availability of Funds - Upon acceptance of the File, Hanscom FCU shall grant your Account Provisional Credit (as herein defined) for the total amount of the Corrected File or the Accepted File, as applicable. As used herein, “Provisional Credit” means that the credit is made to your Account subject to final payment of the Checks and subject to the terms of the Deposit Agreement.

(viii) Contingency Plan - You agree that, in the event you are not able to capture, balance, process, produce or transmit a File to Hanscom FCU, or otherwise comply with the terms hereof or of the Procedures, for any reason, including, but not limited to, communications, equipment or software outages, interruptions or failures, you will transport the originals of all Checks to the closest office of Hanscom FCU and deposit original Checks with Hanscom FCU until such time that the outage, interruption or failure is identified and resolved. The deposit of original Checks at an office of Hanscom FCU shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement and not by the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and to the extent applicable, Section E.5.(ix) of this Agreement dealing with warranties shall apply to the deposit of original Checks.

(ix) Warranties - You represent, warrant and covenant the following to Hanscom FCU:

(a) Checks Deposited.

1. If, through no fault of ours, the available balance in your account is insufficient to make a transfer.
2. If a legal order directs us to prohibit withdrawals from the account.
3. If your account is closed, or if it has been frozen.

In any event, our liability to you will be limited to the lesser of the amount of the transfer requested or your actual damages. In no event will we be liable for any special, exemplary, consequential, or punitive damages, even if we have been advised that they may be incurred.

Your Liability for Unauthorized Transfers
