This Agreement and Disclosure ("Agreement") is the contract which covers your and our rights and responsibilities concerning the Summit Federal Web-24 for Members (hereafter referred to as Web-24) services offered to you by Summit Federal Credit Union ("Credit Union"). Web-24 service permits you to electronically initiate account transactions involving your accounts. In this Agreement, the words "you", "your" and "yours" mean those who request and use Web-24, any joint owners of accounts accessed under this Agreement or any authorized users of this service. The words "we", "us", and "our" mean Summit Federal Credit Union. The word "account" means any one or more accounts you have with the Credit Union. By requesting and using the Web-24 service, each of you, jointly and severally, agree to the terms and conditions in this Agreement, and any amendments.

WEB-24 SERVICE:

ACCOUNT ACCESS

 If we approve your application for Web-24, you may use your personal computer to access your accounts. You must use your personal identification number ("PIN")/Password along with your user name to access your accounts. You must maintain an active checking account with Summit FCU.  You will need a personal computer with a modem and access to the Internet in order to use Web-24.  You are responsible for the installation and maintenance of your computer. You will have access to this system from up to three discrete computers that are registered with our system.  The Credit Union is not responsible for any errors or failures involving any telephone service, Internet service, or for the software or hardware of your computer.

TYPES OF TRANSACTIONS

You may use Web-24 to:

Review account balance for any of your checking, savings, and loan accounts;

Review transaction history for any of your checking, savings, and loan accounts;

Make transfers between any of your checking and savings accounts;

Make your Credit Union loan payments from your checking or savings accounts;

Withdraw funds from your regular share account by check to be mailed to you at your address of record;

Conduct any other transactions permitted by the Credit Union.

Transactions involving your deposit accounts will be subject to the terms and conditions of your account agreement as applicable.

SERVICE LIMITATIONS

 The following limitations on Web-24   transactions may apply in using the services listed above:

1.) TRANSFERS. You may make funds transfers to other Summit Federal Credit Union accounts of yours as often as you like. However, Federal regulations limit pre-authorized transfers from your regular share account. During any given month, you may not make more than six withdrawals or transfers to another Credit Union account of yours or to a third party by means of a preauthorized or automatic transfer. This includes transfers by phone, fax, wire, cable, overdraft transfers to checking, and Internet instruction.

The Credit Union will not be required to complete a withdrawal or transfer from your share accounts if you do not have enough money in the designated account to cover the transaction. You agree not to use Web-24   to initiate a transaction that would cause the balance in your designated share account to go below the required minimum balance. We will not be required to complete such a transaction, but if we do so, you agree to pay us the excess amount or improperly withdrawn or transferred amount and any overdrawn account fees resulting from such transactions, immediately upon our request. We will also decline to complete your Web-24 transactions if we have canceled your access to Web-24 or we cannot complete the transaction for security reasons.

2.) 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 processing time and our Funds Availability Policy.

3.) E-MAIL. The Credit Union may not immediately receive E-mail communications that you send and the Credit Union will not take action until we actually receive your message and have a reasonable opportunity to act. Requests for funds transfer as well as the transmittal of account information should not be communicated to the Credit Union through the use of E-mail. If you need to contact the Credit Union immediately regarding an unauthorized transaction or stop payment request, you may call the Credit Union at 330-376-3626.

PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER "PIN"/PASSWORD SECURITY

The PIN/Password issued to you for initial access to Web-24 is for security purposes. You should change your PIN/Password for security reasons the first time you use the service. Your PIN/Password is confidential and should not be disclosed to third parties or recorded. You agree to accept responsibility for protecting the integrity of your PIN/Password. You agree not to disclose or otherwise make your PIN/Password known to anyone not authorized to sign on your accounts. Granting access to your account through use of Web-24 to any non-owner will make you financially liable for all access, losses, or misuse of your account(s) until reported to us. You also agree that we may revoke your Web-24 access at any time without notice to you.  Tell us at once if you believe your PIN/Password has been lost or stolen.

FEES FOR Web-24 SERVICE

There may be certain charges for services available in Web-24 as set forth on the Credit Union’s Fee Schedule. These fees may change from time to time as determined necessary by the Credit Union Board of Directors. We will notify you of any changes as required by law. There is currently no monthly charge for unlimited Web-24 service per account per month. If a fee is instituted it will be automatically deducted from your checking account at the end of each month and you will be notified 30 days ahead of time of implementation of such fees. If funds are not available in your checking account to pay the fee it will be deducted from your savings account. To obtain a Rate and Fee Schedule, visit either Summit FCU branch or call SFCU at (330) 376-3626.

MOBILE MESSAGING

 To participate in the Service’s text messaging program, you must have an SMS/text messaging-enabled mobile phone. YOU are responsible for standard text rates and/or data usage rates that apply in conjunction with any of the terms and conditions of your agreement(s) with your cell phone carrier.

PERIODIC STATEMENTS

Your periodic statement will clearly identify each electronic transaction. There will be a monthly account statement available for each month in which you initiate electronic transactions. No other receipts will be mailed. You agree by accessing your account through Web-24 to receive all Summit FCU account statements through Web-24/E-mail.  By applying to use and accepting the terms of this Agreement, Summit FCU will not mail statements to you through the U.S. Mail, they will only be received by E-mail until such time as Web-24 access is revoked by you or Summit FCU. You will have access to an account statement at least quarterly if there is no electronic transaction activity on your account.

CREDIT UNION’S LIABILITY FOR FAILURE TO MAKE TRANSFERS

If we do not complete a transfer to or from your account on time or in the correct amount according to our agreement with you and the instructions you transmit, we will be liable for any returned check fees resulting from our failure to perform the transaction.  However, the Credit Union will not be liable:

If, through no fault of ours, you do not have adequate funds in your account to complete a transaction or if your account is closed.

If you used the wrong PIN/password or you have not properly followed any applicable computer, Internet access, or Credit Union user instructions for making transfers or payments.

If your computer fails or malfunctions or Web-24 was not properly working and such problem should have been apparent when you attempted such transaction.

If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire, flood, telecommunication outages, postal strikes, equipment or power failure) prevent completion of the transaction.

If the funds in the account are subject to an administrative hold, legal process, or other claim.

If you have not given the Credit Union complete, correct, and current instructions so the Credit Union can process the transfer or payment.

If the error was caused by a system beyond the Credit Union’s control, such as your Internet Service Provider.

If there are other exceptions as designated by the Credit Union from time to time.

DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES

We will disclose information to third parties about your account or the transfers you make:

1.) Where it is necessary for completing transfers, or

2.) In order to verify the existence and condition of your account for a third party, such as a credit bureau or merchant, or

3.) In order to comply with government agency or court orders, or

4.) To our affiliates or for purposes of offering or providing you other products or services, or

5.) If you give us your written permission.

IN CASE OF ERRORS OR QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR ELECTRONIC TRANSFERS

Call us at 330-376-3626 or write;

Summit Federal Credit Union, P O Box 1460, Akron, Ohio 44309.

As soon as you can, if you think your statement is wrong or if you need more information about a transfer listed on the statement. We must hear from you no later than 60 days after the date of the FIRST statement on which the problem or error appeared.

1.) Tell us your name and account number.

2.) Describe the error or transfer you are unsure about, and explain as clearly as you can why you believe it is an error or why you need more information.

3.) Tell us the dollar amount of the suspected error.

If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your complaint or question in writing within 10 business days.

We will tell you the results of our investigation within 10 business days (20 business days if your question or complaint involves a transaction to or from an account opened within the last 30 days) after we hear from you and correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 business days (90 business days if your question or complaint involves a transaction to or from an account opened within the last 30 days) to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will credit your account within 10 business days (20 business days if your question or complaint involves a transaction to or from an account opened within the last 30 days) for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have the use of the money during the time it takes us to complete our investigation. If we ask you to put your complaint or question in writing and we do not receive it within 10 business days, we may not credit your account.

If we decide there was no error, we will send you a written explanation within three business days after we finish our investigation. You may ask for copies of documents that we used in our investigation.  The Credit Union may revoke any provisional credit provided to you if we find an error did not occur.

If your alleged error or question relates to a transfer that resulted in an advance on your Home Equity Line of Credit, after we hear from you, we cannot try to collect any advance on your account’s Home Equity Line of Credit you question, or report you as delinquent.

 

We can continue to bill you for the amount you question, including finance charges, and we can apply any unpaid amount against your credit limit.  You do not have to pay any questioned advance on your account’s Home Equity Line of Credit while we are investigating, but you are still obligated to pay the advances that are not in question.  If we find that we made a mistake, you will not have to pay any finance charges related to the questioned advance(s).

 

If we didn’t make a mistake, you may have to pay finance charges, and you will have to make up any missed payments on the questioned advance(s).  In either case, we will send you a statement of the amount you owe and the date that it is due.  If you fail to pay the amount that we think you owe, we may report you as delinquent.

 

However, if our explanation does not satisfy you and you write to us within ten(10) days telling us that you still refuse to pay, we must tell anyone we report you to that you have a question about your bill.  And, we must tell you the name of anyone we reported you to.  We must tell anyone we report you to that the matter has been settled between us when it finally is.


STOP PAYMENTS

The transactions you perform on Web-24 are "real time" transactions and cannot be canceled except by performing corresponding reverse transactions. If you transfer money into a third party account, transfer money into your club accounts, or make payments on your loan accounts, you will not be able to reverse those transactions.

If you have arranged with the Credit Union in advance to make regular periodic payments out of your account, you can stop any of those payments by following these procedures:

1.) Call or write the Credit Union at the telephone number or address set forth above in time for it to be received three (3) or more business days before the payment is scheduled to be made.

2.) If you call, the Credit Union may require you to put your request in writing so that it reaches the Credit Union within 14 days after you call.

If you order us to stop one of these payments three (3) business days or more before the transaction is scheduled, and we do not do so, we will be liable for any returned check fees resulting from our failure to perform the transaction.

BILL PAYING AGREEMENT/DISCLOSURE


This is your bill paying agreement with Summit Federal Credit Union.

ACCESSING THE SERVICE
• When you complete your bill paying enrollment form, you will select a User I.D. and a Personal Identification Number (PIN).
• The Financial Institution will make every effort to accommodate your request.

A single payment submitted after the cut-off time on the designated process date will be processed on the next business day. If you designate a non-business date (generally weekends and certain holidays) as the payment’s process date, the payment will be processed on the first business day following the designated process date.

Recurring Payments - When a recurring payment is processed, it is automatically rescheduled by the system. Based upon your selected frequency settings for the payment, a process date is calculated for the next occurrence of the payment. If the calculated process date is a non-business date (generally weekends and certain holidays), it is adjusted based upon the following rules:
• If the recurring payment‘s “Pay Before” option is selected, the process date for the new occurrence of the payment is adjusted to the first business date prior to the calculated process date.
• If the recurring payment’s “Pay After” option is selected, the process date for the new occurrence of the payment is adjusted to the first business date after the calculated process date.

Note: If your frequency settings for the recurring payment specify the 29th, 30th, or 31st as a particular day of the month for processing and that day does not exist in the month of the calculated process date, then the last calendar day of that month is used as the calculated process date.

SINGLE AND RECURRING PAYMENTS
The system will calculate the Estimated Arrival Date of your payment. This is only an estimate. Please allow ample time for you payments to reach your “Payees.”

A bill payment can be changed or cancelled any time prior to the cutoff time on the scheduled process date.
