Other agreements you have entered into with TEFCU, including the Membership & Account Agreement, Electronic Funds Transfer Agreement and other Disclosures governing your TEFCU account, are incorporated by reference and made a part of this Agreement.

  1. Service. The mobile check deposit service (“Service”) is designed to allow you to make deposits to your checking or savings accounts or make loan payments from your smart phone by taking a picture of the check(s) and delivering the images and associated deposit information to TEFCU or TEFCU’s designated processor. There is currently no charge for the Service.
  2. Acceptance of these Terms. Your use of the Service constitutes your acceptance of this Agreement. This Agreement is subject to change from time to time. We will notify you of any material change via email or on our website(s) by providing a link to the revised Agreement. Your continued use of the Service will indicate your acceptance of the revised Agreement. Further, TEFCU reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove portions from the Service. Your continued use of the Services will indicate your acceptance of any such changes to the Service.
  3. Endorsements and Procedures. You agree to restrictively endorse any item transmitted through

the Service as “For Mobile Deposit Only” at TEFCU and your endorsement or as otherwise instructed,

by TEFCU. You agree to follow any and all other procedures and instructions for use of the Service as

we may establish from time to time.

  1. Limitations of Service. When using the Service, you may experience technical or other difficulties.

We cannot assume responsibility for any technical or other difficulties or any resulting damages that you may incur. Some of the Services have qualification requirements, and we reserve the right to change the qualifications at any time without prior notice. We reserve the right to change, suspend or discontinue the Services, in whole or in part, or your use of the Service, in whole or in part, immediately and at any time without prior notice to you.

  1. Eligible items. You agree to deposit only checks as that term is defined in Federal Reserve Board Regulation CC (“Reg. CC”). You agree that the image of the check transmitted to TEFCU shall be deemed an “item” within the meaning of Article 4 of the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in Kansas. Each check will require a separate transaction via Mobile Deposit.
  2. Unacceptable Items for Deposit. You agree that you will not use the Service to deposit any checks or other items as shown below:
  3. Checks or items payable to any person or entity other than you.
  4. Any checks/items drawn on your account that you are depositing to that same account.
  5. Checks or items previously converted to a substitute check, as defined in Reg. CC
  6. Checks or items drawn on a financial institution located outside the U.S.
  7. Checks or items that are remotely created checks, as defined in Reg. CC.
  8. Checks or items not payable in United States currency.
  9. Any check that is “non-negotiable” (whether stamped in print or as a watermark).
  10. Any check that is incomplete
  11. US Savings Bonds
  12. Check on which a stop payment order has been issued or to which there are insufficient funds.
  13. Any check that is “stale dated”, expired or “post-dated”, or is dated more than 6 months prior to

the date of deposit.

  1. Checks or items containing evidence of alteration to any of the fields on the front of the check/item, or which you know or suspect, or should know or suspect, are fraudulent or otherwise not authorized by the owner of the account on which the check/item is drawn.

 

  1. Image Quality. The image of an item transmitted to TEFCU using the Service must be legible. The image quality of the items must comply with the requirements established from time to time by, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Board, or any other regulatory agency, clearing house or association.
  2. Receipt of Items. We reserve the right to reject any item transmitted through the Service, at our discretion, without liability to you. We are not responsible for items we do not receive or for images that are dropped during transmission. An image of an item shall be deemed received when you receive confirmation from TEFCU that we have received the image. Receipt of such confirmation does not mean that the transmission was error free or complete.
  3. Availability of Funds. You agree that items transmitted using the Service are not subject to the funds availability requirements of Federal Reserve Board Regulation CC. Funds deposited using the Service will be subject to a one (1) business day hold. TEFCU may delay the availability of the funds deposited for a longer period of time than one day or make such funds available sooner based on such factors as the amount of the deposit, credit worthiness, the length and extent of your relationship with us, transaction and experience information, and such other factors as TEFCU, in its sole discretion, deems relevant.
  4. Disposal of Transmitted Items. Upon your receipt of a confirmation from TEFCU that we have received the image of an item, you agree to prominently mark the item as “Electronically Presented” or “VOID”. You agree to securely store each original check that you deposit using Mobile Deposit for a period of at least fifteen (15) days after transmission to TEFCU. After 15 days have passed since you transmitted the original check, you will properly dispose of the item to ensure that it is not represented for payment. You agree never to represent the item. You will promptly provide any retained item, or a sufficient copy of the front and back of the item, to TEFCU as requested to aid in the clearing and collection process, to resolve claims by third parties with respect to any item, or for TEFCU’s audit purposes.
  5. Deposit Limits. TEFCU reserves the right to impose limits on the amount(s) and/or number of deposits that you transmit using the Services and to modify such limits from time to time. The total daily dollar limit is $2,500.  Generally, the total daily deposit limit is $10,000.  Please contact member services at (410) 392-5660 if you would like to request to have your individual limits raised.
  6. Deadlines. All checks transmitted for deposit via remote deposit capture will be credited the same day as long as TEFCU receives all deposit files by 3:00 PM EST. Files received after this cut-off time will be credited on the next business day following the one business day hold.

 

  1. Contingencies. If an image is unable to be captured by remote deposit, the check may be deposited at the nearest TEFCU office, mailed to TEFCU.
  2. Hardware and Software. In order to use the Service, you must obtain and maintain, at your expense, compatible hardware and software as specified by TEFCU from time to time. TEFCU is not responsible for any third-party software you may need to use the Service. Any such software is accepted by you as is and is subject to the terms and conditions of the software agreement you enter into directly with the third-party software provider at time of download and installation.
  3. Errors. You agree to notify TEFCU of any suspected errors regarding items deposited through the

Service right away, and in no event later than 60 days after the applicable TEFCU account statement,

is sent. Unless you notify TEFCU 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 TEFCU for such alleged error.

 

  1. Presentment. The manner in which the items are cleared, presented for payment, and collected shall be in TEFCU’s sole discretion subject to Membership & Account Agreement and Disclosures governing your account.
  2. Ownership & License. You agree that TEFCU retains all ownership and proprietary rights in the Service, associated content, technology, and website(s).
