We have no duty to investigate the validity or to verify any e-mail or other electronic communication; and may respond to an e-mail at either the address provided with the communication, the e-mail address in your Membership Application and Signature Card, or any other application or written communication actually received by us. Any account owner, co-borrower, or authorized user may change the e-mail address for statements or other information from us at any time. Although having no obligation to do so, we reserve the right to require authentication of e-mails or electronic communications. The decision to require authentication is in the sole discretion of the Credit Union. We will have no obligation, liability or responsibility to you or any other person or company if we do not act upon or follow any instruction to us if a communication cannot be authenticated to our satisfaction. Further, the Credit Union may not immediately receive e-mail communications that you send. Also, we will not take action based on e-mail requests until we actually receive your message and have a reasonable opportunity to act. We reserve the right to require any notices from you be submitted to us in writing, and we may refuse to send certain information through unsecured e-mail communications.

• Account balances and transaction history.

The password or access code ("access code") that you select is for your security purposes. The access code is confidential and should not be disclosed to third parties or recorded. You are responsible for safekeeping your access code. You agree not to disclose or otherwise make your access code available to anyone not authorized to sign on your accounts. If you authorize anyone to use your access code, that authority shall continue until you specifically revoke such authority by changing your password and/or notifying the Credit Union. If you fail to maintain the security of these access codes and the Credit Union suffers a loss, we may terminate your Home Banking and account services immediately. You will be required to change the password assigned upon first access. If you want to discontinue access to these products, please notify the Credit Union at (803) 432-8521 or (800) 433-5226.

If any of your accounts accessed under this Agreement are joint accounts, all joint owners, including any authorized users, shall be bound by this Agreement and, alone and together, shall be responsible for all EFT transactions to or from any savings and checking or loan accounts as provided in this Agreement. Each joint account owner, without the consent of any other account owner, may, and hereby is authorized by every other joint account owner to make any transaction permitted under this Agreement. Each joint account owner is authorized to act for the other account owners, and the Credit Union may accept orders and instructions regarding any EFT transaction on an account from any joint account owner.

You are responsible for all transfers you authorize under this Agreement. If you permit other persons to use the Home Banking service or your access code, you are responsible for any transactions they authorize or conduct on any of your accounts. However, tell us at once if you believe anyone has used your access code or accessed your accounts through Home Banking service without your authorization. Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. If you tell us within two (2) business days, you can lose not more than $50 if someone accesses your accounts without your permission. If you do not tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of the unauthorized use of your account or access code, and we can prove that we could have stopped someone from accessing your account without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.

Also, if your statement shows Home Banking or Bill Payer transfers that you did not make, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after the statement was mailed to you, you may not get back any money lost after the sixty days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from making the transfers if you had told us in time. If a good reason (such as a hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods.

If you believe that someone has used your access code or has transferred or may transfer money from your account without your permission, call the Credit Union at: (803) 432-8521 or 1 (800) 433-5226 or write the Credit Union at:

The following initiations apply to online eBanking and Internet Bill Paying transactions:

a. Transfers. You may transfer funds to your other accounts as often as you like. However, transfers from your savings account will be limited per federal regulation to no more than sixpreauthorized, automatic, telephonic, or audio response transfer or withdrawals or a combination of such transactions to another account of yours or to a third party during any calendar month from a savings or money market account. No similar limits apply to transfers from a checking account. Of these six, you may make no more than three transfers to a third party by check or similar paper instrument. If you exceed these limitations, your account may be subject to a fee or be closed.

b. Account Information. The account balance and transaction history information may be limited to recent account information involving your accounts. Also, the availability of funds for transfer or withdrawal may be limited due to the processing time for any ATM deposit transactions and our Funds Availability Policy.

c. E-Mail. The Credit Union may not immediately receive e-mail communications that you send and the Credit Union will not take action based on e-mail requests until the Credit Union actually receives your message and has a reasonable opportunity to act. If you need to contact the Credit Union immediately regarding an unauthorized transaction or stop payment request, you may call the Credit Union at (804) 432-8521.

d. Internet Bill Paying. You may use the Online Bill Payer system via a personal computer and in conjunction with the e-banking system to issue payments to third parties on your behalf. You authorize us to post any such payments requested by you to your Account(s). Payments requested by you through the use of the Online Bill Payer system will be made by check or by electronic funds transfer and may take as long as 5 business days to be sent to each payee. The Credit Union cannot guarantee the time any payment will reach any of your creditors and accepts no liability for any service fees or late charges against you.

e. Transfers – Stop Payment. If you wish to place an oral stop payment on an automatic payment transaction, not using the Home Banking service, the Credit Union must receive your oral stop payment request at least seven (7) business days before the payment is scheduled to be made. The Credit Union may require written confirmation of the stop payment order to be made within seven (7) days of any oral notification. If we do require the written confirmation, the oral stop payment order shall cease to be binding seven (7) days after it has been made. If these payments may vary in amount, the person you are going to pay is required to tell you ten (10) days before each payment, when the payment will be made and how much it will be. You may choose instead to get this notice only when the payment would differ by more than a certain amount from the previous payment or when the amount would fall outside certain limits that you set. If you order us to stop one of these payments seven (7) business days or more before the transfer is scheduled, and we do not do so, we will be liable for your losses or damages.

You warrant and agree that you will not use any Home Banking or any other Credit Union Accounts or Services, including but not limited to loans, to make or facilitate any illegal transaction(s) as determined by applicable law; and that any such use, including any such authorized use, will constitute a breach of this Agreement. Certain federal and/or state laws or Card Service Providers’ Rules may limit or prohibit certain transactions such as (but not limited to) those coded as possible gambling transactions. The Credit Union may decline to accept, process or pay any transaction that we believe to be illegal or unenforceable (regarding your obligation to pay us or otherwise) under applicable law; or which is otherwise limited or prohibited, including but not limited to any transaction involving or relating to any gambling activity. Such prohibition or limitations may affect some otherwise proper or allowable transactions such as debits, charges or other transactions at or relating to a hotel-casino. You understand and agree such limitations/prohibitions are not within the Credit Union’s control and that the Credit Union will not have any liability, responsibility or culpability whatsoever for any such use by you or any authorized user(s); or for declining to accept, process, or pay any such transaction. You further agree to indemnify and hold the Credit Union harmless from any suits, liability, damages or adverse action of any kind that results directly or indirectly from any such use of your account and/or access devices.
