Adjustments

 In the event that you believe there has been an error with respect to any original check or image thereof transmitted for deposit, you will immediately contact us regarding such error or breach as set forth below. We reserve the right to adjust your deposit after you have submitted it for processing.

We are under no obligation to inspect or verify any image item to determine accuracy, legibility or quality of the image item or MICR line information associated with the image item, or for any other purpose.

We may process and collect an image item or a substitute image item through one or more check clearing houses, Federal Reserve Banks, or other private clearing agreements with other financial institutions. We may hold and use funds in any deposit account of yours following termination of this Agreement and the services for such time as we reasonably determine to be necessary for us to be assured that no image item processed by us prior to termination may be returned, charged back, or otherwise become a source or cause for any loss, liability, cost, exposure or other action for which the credit union may be responsible, with such right being in addition to any other rights we may have with respect to your accounts. Without limitation, you recognize that under the Rules, the UCC, Regulation CC and the rules of any image exchange network, our representations and warranties to others with regards to image items and substitute checks may expose the credit union to claims for several years following processing of any particular image item or substitute check.

If a payor financial institution returns an image item to us for any reason, we may charge your applicable account for the returned image item, whether or not the return is timely and proper, and we may further either:

  • Return the image item to you; or
  • Re-present it to the payor financial institution before returning it to you.

NOTE: Items deposited using Mobile Deposit are subject to our verification and final inspection process. We may at any time deposit an image item or return all or part of a deposit of multiple image items to you without prior notice.

Items may be returned as image items, rather than substitute checks, as agreed by the parties. If a payor financial institution or other third party makes a claim against us or seeks a recredit with respect to any image item processed, we may provisionally freeze or hold aside a like amount in the applicable account pending investigation and resolution of the claim;

Immediately suspending the services or the system or the processing of any check or corresponding electronic image item if we have reason to believe that there has been a breach in the security of the services or system, fraud involving your account(s) or check(s), or any uncertainty as to the authorization or accuracy of electronic image items, including the right to process electronic image items on a collection basis at any time; and b. Immediately suspending the services or the system or the processing of any check or corresponding electronic image item if we have reason to believe that there has been a breach in the security of the services or system, fraud involving your account(s) or check(s), or any uncertainty as to the authorization or accuracy of electronic image items, including the right to process electronic image items on a collection basis at any time; and

Disclaimer of Warranty and Limitation of Liability

We make no warranty of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, in connection with the Mobile Deposit Program provided to you under this agreement. We do not and cannot warrant that the service will operate without errors, or that any or all services will be available and operational at all times. Except as specifically provided in this agreement, or otherwise required by law, you agree that our officers, directors, employees, agents or contractors are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages under or by reason of any services or products provided under this and or by reason of your use of or access to the Mobile Deposit service. The credit union shall be responsible only for performing the services expressly provided for in this agreement and shall be liable only for its negligence in performing those services. The credit union shall not be responsible for the member’s acts or omissions (including without limitation the amount, accuracy, or timeliness of transmittal) or those of any person, including without limitation any Federal Reserve Financial Institution or transmission or communications facility, and no such person shall be deemed the credit union’s agent. The member agrees to indemnify the credit union against any claims, damages, loss liability, or expense (including attorney’s fees and expense) resulting from or arising out of any claim of any person that the credit union is responsible for any act or omission of the member, or any other person described in this paragraph. In no event shall the credit union be liable for any consequential, special, punitive or indirect loss or damage which the member may incur or suffer in connection with this Agreement, including without limitation, loss of damage from subsequent wrongful dishonor resulting from the credit union’s acts or omissions pursuant to this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the forgoing provisions, or the provisions of this Agreement, the credit union shall be excused from failing to act or from delay in acting if such failure or delay is caused by legal constraint, interruption of transmission or communication facilities, equipment failure, war, emergency conditions or other circumstances beyond the credit union’s control. In addition, the credit union shall be excused from failing to transmit or delay in transmitting a deposit if such transmittal would result in the credit union violating any provision of any present or future risk control program of the Federal Reserve or any rule or regulation of any other United States governmental regulatory authority. Notwithstanding any other provision set forth herein to the contrary, in the event of default under the terms of this agreement by the member, the credit union shall have all rights and remedies available at law or in equity.

Arbitration Agreement

Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement is to be resolved by arbitration. The arbitration is to be administered by the American Arbitration Association and is to be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration is to be held before a panel of three arbitrators, each of whom must be independent of the parties. No later than 15 days after the arbitration begins, each party shall select an arbitrator and request the two selected arbitrators to select a third neutral arbitrator. If the two arbitrators fail to select a third on or before the 10th day after the second arbitrator was selected, either party is entitled to request the American Arbitration Association to appoint the third neutral arbitrator in accordance with its rules. Before beginning the hearings, each arbitrator must provide an oath or undertaking of impartiality.  Either party may seek from any court having jurisdiction any interim or provisional relief that is necessary to protect the rights or property of that party. By doing so, that party does not waive any right or remedy under this Agreement. The interim or provisional relief is to remain in effect until the arbitration award is rendered or the controversy is resolved.  The arbitrators are to have no authority to award punitive damages or other damages not measured by the prevailing party’s actual damages, and may not, in any event, make any ruling, finding or award that does not conform to the provisions of this Agreement.  Any arbitration proceeding under this Agreement must be commenced no later than two years after the controversy or claim arose. Failure to commence in a timely arbitration proceeding constitutes both an absolute bar to the commencement of an arbitration proceeding with respect to the controversy or claim, and a waiver of the controversy or claim.  The arbitrators are to interpret all controversies and claims arising under or relating to this Agreement in accordance with the laws set forth in Section 9(a).  The arbitration is to be conducted in Grand Rapids, MI.  Each party shall submit to any court of competent jurisdiction for purposes of the enforcement of any award, order or judgment. Any award, order or judgment pursuant to arbitration is final and may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.
