Site Terms and Conditions

Introduction
When you became a member of Patelco Credit Union, you agreed to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Member Handbook. These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) supplement the Member Handbook with regard to the particular details of using our products and services online or on a mobile device. BY USING OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES ONLINE OR VIA A MOBILE DEVICE, YOU ALSO AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT (the “Terms”). The definitions of names or words used here are the same as in the Handbook. If there is an inconsistency between a description in these Terms and the Handbook, the wording in the Handbook will govern.

These Terms also govern the use of certain Patelco Credit Union (“Patelco”) products and services (including products and services provided by third-party vendors chosen by Patelco), some of which may be accessed via non-Patelco sites and non-Patelco apps.

Communications
You may communicate directly with Patelco through our Online Sites, subject to the following conditions:

  • You may not upload any information or material that violates any copyright, trademark or other proprietary rights of any person or entity.
  • You must not include any obscene, libelous, or defamatory content in your communications.

You hereby indemnify and hold Patelco harmless from any and all damages, losses, and liabilities arising from your communications with us through our Online Sites, except as stated in these Terms.

Electronic Communications Policy
In connection with loan and other account inquiries, loan and other account transactions, loan and other account applications, and certain other requests and interactions between yourself and Patelco, you are entitled by law to receive certain information on paper. By providing consent to electronic communications, you agree to receive them electronically instead. When you consent to receiving electronic communications (including, but not limited to, as part of an application where you consent to receive electronic communications about the product(s) you are applying for) you are agreeing and consenting to receive electronically all communications, agreements, documents, notices and disclosures (collectively, “Communications”) that we, Patelco Credit Union, our affiliates and subsidiaries or our agents, successors and assigns, or service providers, provide in connection with any loan or other account inquiry, loan or other account offer, loan, account or any other products or service you receive from Patelco, on Patelco’s website and/or via the Patelco Mobile App, and the servicing of any loan, account, or other service or product you receive from Patelco. Your consent to electronic communications gives permission to communicate with you electronically regarding any activity related to Patelco’s products and services, and is not specific to any single loan, inquiry, product, service, or transaction.

Communications include, as applicable:

  • Any information provided to you about any loan or other account inquiry or loan or account offers, including your interest rate, finance charges and APR, and the final terms of your loan or account;
  • Any information provided to you about any product, service, or transaction you receive;
  • Any terms and conditions and policies you agree to, including updates to these agreements or policies, and other authorizations you provide;
  • Any documents or disclosures provided to you, including payment receipts, notices of default, and federal and state tax statements; and
  • Any other information relating to your relationship to Patelco.

We will provide these Communications to you by posting them on the Patelco website, in Online Banking, and/or in our Mobile App, and/or by emailing them to you at your registered email address. It is your responsibility to keep your registered email address up to date so that we can communicate with you electronically. You also have the right to request paper copies of certain communications.

To learn more about our policies regarding monthly statements, refer to the Online Statements section of these Terms.

In order to access and retain electronic Communications, you will need: a computer, tablet, or mobile device with an internet connection; a current web browser that includes up-to-date encryption and security settings; a valid email address; and, if you wish to save or print the communication, sufficient storage space to save past Communications or an installed printer to print them, respectively. You confirm that you have access to the necessary equipment and software to receive our Communications to you.

You have the right to withdraw consent and may withdraw your consent to receive Communications electronically, or update information needed to contact you electronically, by making appropriate selections within Online Banking; by calling us at 800.358.8228 during our operating hours; or by writing to us via regular mail at Patelco Credit Union, PO Box 2227, Merced, CA 95344-0227. If you withdraw your consent to certain electronic Communications prior to completing your application for certain products, you will not be able to complete the application process and therefore will not be issued that product. Please note that not all Communications are available in paper format – Online Banking, for example, offers certain alerts about account transactions or current balance, which can only be received electronically and not in paper format. Our policies will allow you to receive all types of Communication that must be offered in paper format as required by law. Additionally, we may also offer other Communications in paper format, even where not required by law.

You acknowledge that we may amend this policy at any time by posting a revised version on our website. If we make a material change to this policy, we will also send a notice to your registered email address.

Alerts
Account Alerts can be sent to you by email or by text message to your mobile device. If you access Online Banking through the internet (and not through personal financial management software) you can set up Alerts regarding activity on your deposit and credit accounts (but not with respect to your investment accounts). You are responsible to input accurate information to set up the Alerts. Alerts do not replace standard communications you receive from us concerning your accounts. We are not responsible for any losses, damages or expenses that may occur connected to the failure of an Alerts. Messages available include:

  • Your balance has fallen below a level of your choosing
  • A deposit has been made to any of your accounts
  • A loan payment that you have set up is coming due
  • Someone (including you) has logged into your Online Banking account (email only)
  • Summary of account activity (daily or weekly, email only)
  • Any time your credit or debit card is used for a signature-based transaction
  • Maturing certificate

Bill Pay
To use our Bill Pay service, you must qualify for and open a Patelco checking account and you must first sign up for Online Banking.

Bill Pay draws funds from the account you designate and any Overdraft Protection you have established for that account. With Bill Pay, you request bill payment transfers to creditors that we have designated in the user instructions, plus the creditors that you authorize. We cannot process bill payment requests without complete information. We will withdraw the designated funds for bill payment by 9AM on the date you select for payment. We will process the payment within one (1) business day of the date you select for payment. You must allow sufficient time for vendors to process your payment after they receive the transfer from us. Please allow as much time as you would if you were sending your payment by mail.

We cannot guarantee that any payment will be credited to your account by the vendor. You must take up any disputes on this subject directly with the vendor, unless we failed to follow your instructions in a reasonable manner. You can stop Bill Pay payments that have not yet occurred by deleting the payment from Bill Pay. If the payment has already been withdrawn and you notify us immediately by calling 800.358.8228, we may be able to stop the payment if we have not yet sent it to the payee. Once we have sent your payment, you must handle any problems, disputes or questions directly with the payee.

By providing the Bill Pay service with names and account information of billers to whom you wish to direct payments, you authorize us to follow the payment instructions received through the Bill Pay service. In order to process payments more efficiently and effectively, we may edit or alter payment data formats in accordance with directives received directly from the biller.

These Terms do not alter your liability or obligations that currently exist between you and your billers.

When we receive a payment instruction, you authorize us to debit your payment account and remit funds on your behalf so that the funds arrive as close as reasonably possible to your designated scheduled payment date. You also authorize us to credit your payment account for payments returned to us by the biller, or with payments remitted to you on behalf of another authorized user of the Bill Pay service (e.g. refunds).

Bill Pay Guarantee
If we fail to execute your online Bill Pay payment instructions, we will ensure that all resulting late fees and finance charges are removed by the payee, or we will reimburse you for those charges if the payee is unable or unwilling to remove these charges from the account.

The Bill Pay Guarantee only applies to late fees and finance charges. The Guarantee does not cover losses incurred due to missed transactions or opportunities.

The Bill Pay Guarantee has certain limitations, which are listed below. To make a claim for charges you incurred due to our error, send us a secure email to find out how to submit a statement showing the incurred charges.

The Bill Pay Guarantee applies to late fees and/or finance charges associated with the late posting of a payment, provided that the following conditions are met:

  1. The payment was scheduled for processing at least five (5) business days for electronic payments, or nine (9) business days for check payments prior to the due date, excluding any grace periods. A business day is defined as Monday through Friday, excluding Federal banking holidays. For example, even if a mortgage payment has a 15-day grace period, the payment should be sent on or before the due date.
  2. We cannot reverse late charges for Exception Payees. These are the following:
    a. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and other tax entities
    b. Any state or other government agency
    c. Courts, including for court-ordered payments like alimony, speeding tickets, or child support
    d. Insurance companies
    e. Collection agencies
    f. Payees located in Armed Forces postal codes such as AE and AP
    g. Payees being paid for a securities transaction
    h. Payees receiving a payment to pay off “special financing” transactions
  3. The payment was not applied correctly due to the payee’s error, i.e., Patelco sent the payment using information you gave us, and that information was correct (as it appears on the payee’s records).

Scheduling payments either five (5) or nine (9) days in advance of a due date is required because of the steps a payment makes.

  • Electronic payments may take up to three (3) business days to arrive at your payee. After arrival, payees typically credit your account within two (2) business days.
  • Check payments in paper form may take five (5) to nine (9) business days to arrive at your payee and be applied to your account (from the date that you initiate the payment).

Patelco will take responsibility for the transaction and will pay late fees for the following:

  • Lost, cannot determine reason
  • Not sent to payee as scheduled
  • Sent to wrong location
  • U.S. Mail delay
  • Posting delay by payee

The member is responsible for these transaction errors and the charges that result:

  • Scheduled incorrect number of days before due date
  • Scheduled incorrectly
  • Incorrect account information supplied by member

Bill Pay Overdraft Protection
Bill Pay debits that overdraw your checking account can be covered by Overdraft Protection if you have such protection on your checking account. If you do not have an available Overdraft Protection plan, or if your overdraft sources do not have sufficient balances to cover a scheduled Bill Pay debit, we may pay your bill from our funds, overdraw your checking account, and charge you an overdraft fee.

Limitations on Online Banking (including Bill Pay and Mobile Banking)
All transactions are limited to available funds in your accounts plus any Overdraft Protection plan you may have available on checking accounts up to $10,000.

You may not make payments to creditors located outside of the United States or its territories; nor may you make payments in any currency other than U.S. Dollars through the Bill Pay service.
Bill Pay is a service for members to pay their own bills. Patelco accounts are for the personal use of members (same name as membership). Paying bills for other parties is a prohibited business activity, and is grounds for account termination.

Mobile Banking
Mobile Banking service requires prior enrollment in Online Banking, a mobile device with internet access, and a special software application downloaded to that device. With Mobile Banking you can:

  • Transfer funds between your checking, savings and credit line accounts,
  • Find out if checks have cleared,
  • Verify account balances (except for IRA and HSA accounts and certificates) and
  • Pay bills using Bill Pay, plus more.

We may limit the types and number of accounts eligible for Mobile Banking. Mobile Banking may not be supported for all devices/models or for all carriers at all times. We cannot guarantee the availability of underlying data services provided by your mobile carrier. We are not responsible for carrier data outages or “out of range” issues.

You may not add new Billers nor make expedited payments through Mobile Banking.

If you would like to delete an account within the Mobile App, tap on More, then Preferences and select Delete Account. Then follow the instructions to contact us.

You agree that at any time and without prior notice we may suspend access to your Mobile Banking if we suspect fraudulent activity or misuse of your mobile device or of the Mobile Banking functionality.

License Grant
As part of Mobile Banking, we will provide guide(s), FAQs and other information about the services (Documentation), as well as Licensed Software (collectively, “Documentation and Licensed Software”). When you download the application and use the service, you are granted a non-exclusive, nontransferable, limited and revocable right to use the Documentation and Licensed Software solely as contemplated by these Terms and which shall at all times remain the sole and exclusive property of the credit union and member shall have no right, title or interest therein except as expressly provided in these Terms. We reserve the right to protect our rights, title and interest in and to the Documentation and Licensed Software by enforcing our rights against you directly if necessary. This license shall terminate when your membership is terminated, when your permission to use the Licensed Software is terminated, or when these Terms are contravened.

You agree to not reverse, decompile or reverse engineer the Licensed Software.

“Anywhere Deposit” Mobile and Desktop Check Deposit Service
Anywhere Deposit allows you to use software provided by us to create electronic images of paper checks (“Items”) as described in the user materials (FAQs) and other guidelines we may communicate from time to time. Our Anywhere Deposit service allows you, our member, to transmit electronic images to us for deposit to your account(s) with us. After we receive your electronic image(s), we, at our sole option, use the electronic image(s) to either (a) create substitute check(s), that we present to the financial institution (paying bank) on which the paper Item is either: (1) drawn or (2) payable at or through (each, “paying bank”); or (b) to generate one or more electronic images (from the original images) for presentment directly or indirectly to the paying bank.

Service Limitations
You must be a member in good standing and have sufficient credit to be eligible for this service. We can change the credit criteria we use to qualify members for this service at any time without notice. Regardless of eligibility, there are limits on how much money can be deposited using Anywhere Deposit. Your limits will be displayed after you log in to online banking, select the Anywhere Deposit service, and then select the option to make a deposit. (Alternately, log in to the Mobile App and select the check deposit feature to immediately see your limits.) We may change the limits at our discretion.

Conditions to Provision of the Service
As conditions to our providing the Anywhere Deposit service, you agree that you will: (a) maintain your accounts with us in good standing; (b) meet credit and other standards established by us from time to time and provide financial information as requested by us from time to time; and (c) comply with the guidelines and restrictions regarding the electronic images as we may communicate to you from time to time. You also agree that, absent our written consent, you will not deposit to any personal account any Item that is made payable to any business, and will only deposit Items in your savings or checking accounts that are made payable in the name(s) in which your account is titled.

You can use either a desktop scanner and transmit images of the checks to be deposited using your computer, or you can use a smart mobile device to photograph and transmit the check image to us using the service software.

License Grant
As part of the Anywhere Deposit service, we will provide guide(s), FAQs and other information about the services (“Documentation”), and Licensed Software. When you download the application and use the service, you are granted a non-exclusive, nontransferable, limited and revocable right to use the Documentation and Licensed Software solely as contemplated by these Terms and which shall at all times remain the sole and exclusive property of the credit union, and member shall have no right, title or interest therein except as expressly provided in these Terms. We reserve the right to protect our rights, title and interest in and to the Documentation and Licensed Software by enforcing our rights against you directly if necessary. This license shall terminate when your membership is terminated, when your permission to use the Licensed Software is terminated, or when these Terms are contravened.

We supply the Licensed Software directly to you for use with a desktop scanner. You download the application for mobile devices from either the App Store (for Apple devices) or the Play Store (for Android devices). You agree to not reverse, decompile or reverse engineer the Licensed Software.

Disposition of Imaged Items (Checks)
You agree that all Items belong to you and not to us and that those Items shall be handled in accordance with the Terms and Conditions and any user materials. After receipt by us of any transmission by you to us of imaged Items for deposit to your savings or checking account, we will acknowledge by electronic means receipt of your transmission. Your electronic transmission is subject to proof and verification. YOU AGREE TO RETAIN THE ORIGINALS OF ALL IMAGED ITEMS AFTER VALIDATION OF DEPOSIT FOR NOT LESS THAN FOURTEEN (14) DAYS or for such time as is required by and in accordance with applicable law, statute, or regulation. We recommend you retain the transmitted check for ninety (90) days, after which you may destroy it. You agree to safeguard the originals of such imaged Items until such time as they have been destroyed.

Responsibility for Multiple Deposits of the Same Item
You agree not to deposit any Item more than once via electronic or other means, either with us or with any other financial institution, whether intentionally or unintentionally, whether as a result of fraud for any other reason whatsoever. You agree that the aggregate amount of any Items which are deposited more than once will be debited from your savings or checking deposit account, and to the extent funds in your account are insufficient to cover such amount, any balance shall be debited by us from any of your other Patelco account in which you have an interest, deposit accounts as determined by us in our sole discretion, subject only to applicable law and regulation. You further acknowledge that you, and not we, are responsible for the processing and handling of any original Items which are imaged and deposited utilizing our electronic imaging services, and you assume all liability to the person who wrote the check of any Item imaged using the services or liability arising from our printing of any substitute check from those images.

Adjustments
You agree that in the event that an electronically captured Item is captured for an incorrect amount, we may make a credit or debit adjustment to your account in order to correct the error.

Processing Your Electronic Imaged Items
If you transmit your Item to us before the cut-off time we separately disclose to you on any day that is a banking day and within our normal business hours, we will review and, if appropriate, process your Item on that banking day. If you transmit your Item to us after the cut-off time (typically 3pm PT) on any banking day, we will review and, if appropriate, may process your electronic image(s) on the next banking day.

Exception Items
When we review and process your electronic imaged Item(s), we may reject any electronic image that we, in our sole discretion, determine to be ineligible, including, without limitation:

  • Electronic images of any Item not payable to you
  • Electronic images of Items drawn on financial institutions located outside the United States
  • Items drawn on U.S. accounts in foreign currency
  • Electronic images that are illegible (due to poor image quality or otherwise)
  • Electronic images of Items previously processed
  • Electronic images previously converted to substitute checks
  • Electronic images with unreadable MICR information
  • Electronic images of checks that are stale dated (older than 6 months) or postdated
  • US Savings Bonds
  • Cashier’s checks
  • US Postal Money Orders
  • Traveler’s checks

Each banking day on which we review and process your Items, we will notify you of all exception Items. You agree that if you wish to attempt to deposit any exception Item to any of your accounts with us, you will only do so by depositing the original paper Item on which the exception Item is based. You acknowledge and agree that even if we do not initially identify an electronic image as an exception Item may nevertheless be returned to us because, among other reasons, the electronic image is deemed illegible by paying institution. Our failure to identify an exception Item shall not preclude or limit the obligation of you to us. In the event an electronic image is an exception Item because it is illegible or otherwise unusable by us, you must either provide a usable original or copy or, if the original or copy is unusable, obtain a usable document from the maker and submit that usable document to us. Failure to provide a usable version will result in the exception Item being debited from your account.

If the Anywhere Deposit system will not accept a check, either due to a problem with the check or with the system, your alternative is to bring the check to one of our branches.

Availability of Items; Rules Governing Items
We reserve the right to delay availability of funds deposited by Anywhere Deposit until final collection from the paying financial institution. We may, as a courtesy, make funds available for withdrawal sooner.

You can call us at 800.358.8228 to find out if we have received an Anywhere Deposit transmittal or if we have received final payment of the check.

If a deduction of a credit on an Anywhere Deposit on which we do not receive final settlement results in a negative balance in your account, you will be indebted to us, and our Right of Offset and right to recover Collection Costs will apply. You may be subject to a returned deposit fee.
Checks deposited using Anywhere Deposit are governed by applicable law and the rules of NACHA and non-NACHA clearing houses and associations. Please also see the ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER AGREEMENT AND DISCLOSURE section of the Member Handbook.

Questions about Errors
If you think that a check deposited using Anywhere Deposit shown on your statement is wrong, or if you need more information about the deposit, call us at 800.358.8228 or write to us at Patelco Credit Union, Attn EFT Card Services, PO Box 2227, Merced, CA 95344-0227. Please tell us (a) your name, (b) your account number, (c) the date of the questioned transaction, (d) the amount of the questioned transaction, (e) the type of the questioned transaction and (f) why you believe there is an error. We must hear from you no later than sixty (60) days after we sent you the first statement on which the error or problem appeared or we will not be responsible for the error.

Online Statements
Transaction and balance information provided via the online or mobile service will not replace any statements you currently receive from us. Unless you agree to accept Online Statements (also referred to as eStatements), you will continue to receive the same periodic statements for your accounts as you are already receiving. Your periodic statements will reflect all your online and mobile transactions, each of which will be given a reference number that will appear on your online account summary and will state the amount of each transaction, the type of transaction, the Account charged or credited and the full or abbreviated name of the payee if a payment is involved.

We offer Online Statements for certain of your accounts, allowing you to replace your paper mailed statement with a PDF electronic version that you can view, save to your computer or print at your convenience. YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE ONLINE STATEMENT SERVICE CONSTITUTES YOUR REQUEST FOR AND AGREEMENT TO ACCEPT ELECTRONICALLY ANY CHANGES IN TERMS OR OTHER LEGAL NOTICES REGARDING YOUR ACCOUNTS, AND ANY ADVERTISEMENTS OR OTHER INFORMATION THAT WOULD NORMALLY BE INCLUDED IN YOUR PAPER STATEMENT.

Upon enrollment in the Online Statements service, we will send you an email notice each statement cycle advising you that your Online Statement is ready for you to view online.

It is your responsibility to maintain a current and valid email address on record in the online service. Unless otherwise prohibited by law, rule or regulation, if your email is rejected as undeliverable three (3) times, we may discontinue the Online Statement service and reinstate mailing paper statements.

We will store up to five (5) years of your Online Statements in our secure system so you can access them.

Online Transfer Services
You can transfer funds between accounts at Patelco or between Patelco and other financial institutions. Here are the services for the transfers feature:

Between your Patelco accounts
You can move money between your Patelco accounts (like checking and savings) or from an account to a credit card or loan account, which acts as a payment.

Please refer to the full terms for using Zelle®, contained below.

Online Guarantee
When you use Online or Mobile Banking, we guarantee that you will be covered 100% for any unauthorized removal of funds from your account(s) while we are handling your transactions. This includes funds removed from your accounts as a result of either (1) online theft of your account details and/or password, or (2) unauthorized online removal of funds from your accounts. This guarantee is void if you fail to exercise reasonable care in maintaining the security of your account details and/or online access devices.

You are responsible for keeping your online user names, passwords, account number(s), personal identification information, and any other account data confidential.

If you fail to exercise reasonable care, your potential liability for unauthorized electronic device access to your Patelco accounts is that set forth in your Member Handbook.

Patelco is responsible for following your written or electronic instructions. We will not be liable for input errors.

One Time Passcodes for Debit and Credit Card Transactions
When you use your Patelco debit or credit card online to do a transaction (including on non-Patelco sites or apps), we may employ EMV 3DS Secure Code One Time Passcode security if we detect the need for additional assurance that you are really the person doing the transaction. Please read this section carefully and make sure you have fully understood it before using the EMV 3DS Secure Code One Time Passcode service (“OTP”). Using this service after you have read this section shall mean that you have accepted the terms contained here.

1. How does OTP work?

OTP sends a four-digit numeric code via SMS to your registered mobile device as an additional layer of identity verification to access your online services. This unique code can only be used once and must be entered before you can access your accounts online.

Registration for OTP is not required. If you are not able to enter the one time passcode, or authentication via this service fails, the merchant with whom you carry out online transactions, may not accept your card in payment for that transaction. You agree that Patelco Credit Union shall not be liable in any way for any merchant’s refusal to accept your card(s) for any payment, regardless of what the reasons may be.

2. Your Responsibilities

a. You agree to provide the data required for the transaction authorization process.

b. You agree to keep the confidentiality of your card number or personal information that you have entered to this service. If you let someone else use your passcode you will be responsible for all claims, losses, and other consequences relating to all transactions that have taken place using this service.

c. You understand that OTP can be used only for transactions at the merchants online that have EMV 3DS Secure Code One Time Passcode security.

Arbitration

For any claim (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) where the total amount of the award sought is less than $10,000.00 USD, the party requesting relief may elect to resolve the dispute in a cost-effective manner through binding non-appearance-based arbitration. If a party elects arbitration, that party will initiate such arbitration through Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”), the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), or an established alternative dispute resolution (ADR) administrator mutually agreed upon by the parties. The parties agree that the following rules shall apply:

(a) the arbitration may be conducted telephonically, online and/or be solely based on written submissions, at the election of the party initiating the arbitration;
(b) the arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties, their representatives or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties;
(c) discovery shall not be permitted;
(d) the matter shall be submitted for decision within ninety (90) days of initiation of arbitration, unless otherwise agreed by the parties, and the arbitrator must render a decision within thirty (30) days of submission; and
(e) any award in such arbitration shall be final and binding upon the parties and may be submitted to any court of competent jurisdiction for confirmation.

The parties acknowledge that remedies available under federal, state and local laws remain available through arbitration. NO CLASS ACTION, OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR JOINDER OR CONSOLIDATION OF ANY CLAIM WITH A CLAIM OF ANOTHER PERSON SHALL BE ALLOWABLE IN ARBITRATION.

28. Law and Forum for Disputes

Unless our account agreement with you states otherwise, this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State in which you reside, without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions. To the extent that the terms of this Agreement conflict with applicable state or federal law, such state or federal law shall replace such conflicting terms only to the extent required by law. Unless expressly stated otherwise, all other terms of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Unless our account agreement with you states otherwise, you agree that any claim or dispute you may have against us (other than those which are arbitrated under Section 28 of the General Terms above) must be resolved by a court located in the county in which you reside. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of litigating all claims or disputes unless said claim is submitted to arbitration under Section 28 of the General Terms of this Agreement. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this Agreement. BOTH PARTIES AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN THE RESOLUTION OF ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM BETWEEN THE PARTIES OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless us and our Affiliates and Service Providers and their Affiliates and the employees and contractors of each of these, from any loss, damage, claim or demand (including attorney’s fees) made or incurred by any third party due to or arising out of your breach of this Agreement and/or your use of the Site or the applicable Service.

In addition, if applicable to you, you waive California Civil Code §1542, which states that a general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if not known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.

31. No Waiver

We shall not be deemed to have waived any rights or remedies hereunder unless such waiver is in writing and signed by one of our authorized representatives. No delay or omission on our part in exercising any rights or remedies shall operate as a waiver of such rights or remedies or any other rights or remedies. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar or waiver of any rights or remedies on future occasions.

32. Exclusions of Warranties

ZELLE® AND OTHER PAYMENT SERVICES ADDITIONAL TERMS

1. Description of Services

  1. We have partnered with the Zelle Network® (“Zelle”) to enable a convenient way to transfer money between you and other Users using aliases, such as email addresses or mobile phone numbers (“Zelle Payment Service,” as further described below). Zelle provides no deposit account or other financial services. Zelle neither transfers nor moves money. You may not establish a financial account with Zelle of any kind. All money will be transmitted by a Network Financial Institution. THE ZELLE PAYMENT SERVICE IS INTENDED TO SEND MONEY TO FRIENDS, FAMILY AND OTHERS YOU TRUST. YOU SHOULD NOT USE THE ZELLE PAYMENT SERVICE OR OTHER PAYMENT SERVICES TO SEND MONEY TO RECIPIENTS WITH WHOM YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR OR YOU DO NOT TRUST. The term “Zelle and Other Payment Terms” means these Zelle and Other Payment Services terms.
  2. In addition to the Zelle Payment Service, we provide other payment services under these terms of service. First, these additional services allow you to send money to people if you provide the Eligible Transaction Account information and other contact information for the Receiver; such transactions are not sent via Zelle. Second, outside Zelle, we allow you to establish a one-time payment for a payment recipient for which processing shall be initiated at a later specified date up to one (1) year. Third, outside Zelle, we enable you to establish a recurring series of payments to a payment recipient for which processing shall be initiated on dates you specify. These three payment services and any other payment services that we provide under these Zelle and Other Payment Terms are referred to as “Other Payment Services” in these Zelle and Other Payment Terms. Although future-dated payments and recurring payments are outside Zelle, we may ultimately send those transactions via Zelle when the applicable date of payment arrives, in which case the applicable payment transaction is part of the Zelle Payment Service, not the Other Payment Services. The term “Zelle and Other Payment Services” means the Zelle Payment Service and the Other Payment Services.
  3. The Zelle and Other Payment Services enable you: (1) to initiate a Payment Instruction from an Eligible Transaction Account to an account at a US financial institution; and/or (2) to receive a payment from another person into an Eligible Transaction Account, in US Dollars. All payments must be made through the Site and are subject to the terms of this Agreement and applicable laws and regulations, in each case as in effect from time to time. Receipt of payments may be made through the Site and is subject to the terms of this Agreement and applicable laws and regulations, in each case as in effect from time to time. In some instances, receipt of payments may be made through other locations besides our Site, such as the Zelle mobile handset application (“Zelle Standalone Locations”) and if you choose to initiate or receive a payment at a Zelle Standalone Location you acknowledge and agree that you shall be subject to the terms of other agreements, including, but not limited to, the “terms of use” for the Zelle Standalone Locations and applicable laws and regulations, in each case as in effect from time to time. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Zelle and Other Payment Services are generally available 24 hours, seven days a week with the exception of outages for maintenance and circumstances beyond our or Zelle’s control. Live customer service generally will be available Monday through Friday, excluding US financial institution holidays.
  4. The Zelle Payment Service allows for the delivery of payments to Receivers who are also enrolled in the Zelle Payment Service through a Payment Network designed to deliver payments on the same day and potentially within minutes, although actual speed will vary, as described below. The Zelle and Other Payment Services are not instantaneous. Payment delivery speed may vary based upon the fraud, risk and other funds availability policy of each financial institution and Payment Network availability. We are not responsible for the performance, speed, or other acts or omissions of the Payment Networks that may be involved in the transmission of a payment. We shall not be obligated to comply with the Automated Clearinghouse (ACH) Rules in such recovery efforts or otherwise in connection with Zelle and Other Payments unless the applicable transaction is transmitted through the ACH network. We are only responsible for delivery of the applicable Payment Instructions to the applicable Payment Network in the format required by the applicable Payment Network’s specifications.

2. Payment Authorization and Payment Remittance

  1. Section 12 of the General Terms do not apply to the Zelle Payment Service. When you enroll to use the Zelle Payment Service or when you permit others to whom you have delegated to act on your behalf to use or access the Zelle Payment Service, you agree to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. You represent that you have the authority to authorize debits and credits to the enrolled bank account. In addition to the restrictions set forth in Section 13 of the General Terms, you agree that you will not use the Zelle and Other Payment Services to send money to anyone to whom you are obligated for tax payments, payments made pursuant to court orders (including court-ordered amounts for alimony or child support), fines, payments to loan sharks, gambling debts or payments otherwise prohibited by law, and you agree that you will not use the Zelle and Other Payment Services to request money from anyone for any such payments. The Zelle and Other Payment Services are intended for personal, not business or commercial use. You agree that you will not use the Zelle and Other Payment Services to send or receive payments in connection with your business or commercial enterprise. We reserve the right to decline your enrollment if we believe that you are enrolling to use the Zelle and Other Payment Services with your business account or to receive business or commercial payments. We further reserve the right to suspend or terminate your use of the Zelle Payment Service if we believe that you are using the Zelle Payment Service for business or commercial purposes.
  2. You must provide us with an email address that you regularly use and intend to use regularly (i.e., no disposable email addresses) and a permanent mobile phone number that you intend to use for an extended period of time (i.e., no “burner” numbers). You may not enroll in the Service with a landline phone number, Google Voice number, or Voice over Internet Protocol. Once enrolled, you may: (i) authorize a debit of your account to send money to another User either at your initiation or at the request of that User; and (ii) receive money from another User either at that User’s initiation or at your request, subject to the conditions of the Section below titled Requesting Payments. If at any time while you are enrolled, you do not send or receive money using the Zelle Payment Service for a period of 18 consecutive months, we may contact you and/or take other steps to confirm that the US mobile phone number or email address that you enrolled still belongs to you. If we are unable to confirm that you are the owner of the mobile phone number or email address, then you understand that we may cancel your enrollment and you will not be able to send or receive money with the Zelle Payment Service until you enroll again. When you enroll with Zelle, you may establish one or more profiles. Each profile may be linked to only one bank account or debit card, but you may enroll multiple email addresses or mobile phone numbers in each profile. Once you have enrolled an email address or a mobile phone number with a profile, you may not use that same email address or phone number with any other profile. If we allow you to enroll the debit card we issue to you with the Zelle Payment Service, then the debit card must be issued in conjunction with a United States domestic deposit account, not a United States territory-based account. By providing us with names and mobile telephone numbers, email addresses of Receivers to whom you wish to direct payments, you authorize us to follow the Payment Instructions that we receive through the Zelle Payment Service. By providing us with names, bank account information and other contact information for Receivers to whom you wish to direct a payment via the Other Payment Service, you authorize us to follow the Payment Instructions that we receive via the Other Payment Services. Once enrolled, you authorize us to credit your Eligible Transaction Account for payments remitted to you on behalf of a Sender without further approval from you.
  3. When we receive a Payment Instruction from you, you authorize us to debit your Eligible Transaction Account for the amount of any such Payment Instruction plus any related fees in effect (and as disclosed on the Site) at the time you initiate the Payment Instruction, and to remit funds on your behalf. You acknowledge and agree that any applicable fees will be charged when we receive a Payment Instruction from you, regardless of whether the Payment Instruction is ultimately completed. You also authorize us to credit your Eligible Transaction Account for the receipt of payments, including but not limited to those payments returned to us from Receivers to whom you sent payment(s) and those payments that were cancelled and returned to you because the processing of the Payment Instruction could not be completed.
  4. You agree that we will not be liable in any way for any payments that you may receive, regardless of whether you authorized the Sender to send them to you.
  5. We will use reasonable efforts to complete all your Payment Instructions properly. However, we shall incur no liability if we are unable to complete any transaction because of the existence of any one or more of the following circumstances:
    1. If, through no fault of ours, the Eligible Transaction Account does not contain sufficient funds to complete the Payment Instruction or the Payment Instruction would exceed the credit limit of your overdraft account;
    2. The Zelle and Other Payment Services are not working properly and you know or have been advised by us about the malfunction before you execute the Payment Instruction;
    3. The payment is refused as described in Section 6 of the Zelle and Other Payment Terms below;
    4. You have not provided us with the correct information, including but not limited to the correct Payment Instructions or Eligible Transaction Account information, or the correct name and address or mobile phone number of the Receiver to whom you are initiating a Payment Instruction; and/or,
    5. Circumstances beyond our control (such as, but not limited to, fire, flood, network or system down time, issues with the financial institution, or interference from an outside force) prevent the proper execution of the Payment Instruction.
  6. It is the responsibility of the Sender and the Receiver to ensure the accuracy of any information that they enter into the Zelle and Other Payment Services (including but not limited to the Payment Instructions and name, telephone number and/or email address for the Receiver to whom you are attempting to send a payment), and for informing us as soon as possible if they become aware that this information is inaccurate. We will make a reasonable effort to stop or recover a payment made to the wrong person or entity once informed, but we do not guarantee such stoppage or recovery and will bear no responsibility or liability for damages resulting from incorrect information entered by the Sender or Receiver.

3. Sending Payments

  1. You may send money to another User at your initiation or in response to that User’s request for money. You understand that use of the Zelle and Other Payment Services by you shall at all times be subject to (i) this Agreement, and (ii) your express authorization at the time of the transaction for us or another Network Financial Institution to initiate a debit entry to your bank account. You understand that when you send the payment, you will have no ability to stop it. When a Sender initiates a Payment Instruction, the Receiver is not required to accept the payment if the Receiver has not enrolled in Zelle. You agree that you as a Sender will not hold us liable for any damages resulting from a Receiver’s decision to not enroll in Zelle. For the Zelle Payment Service, you may only cancel a payment if the person to whom you sent the money has not yet enrolled in the Zelle Payment Service. As to the Zelle Payment Service, if the person you sent money to has already enrolled with Zelle, either in the Zelle Standalone Locations (defined in Section 1(b) of these Zelle and Other Payment Terms) or with a Network Financial Institution, then the money is sent directly to their bank account (except as otherwise provided below) and may not be canceled or revoked. Cancellation is addressed more generally as to the Other Payment Services in Section 6 (Payment Cancellation, Stop Payment Requests and Refused Payments for Other Payment Services) below. You may initiate a one-time Payment Instruction to a Receiver for which processing shall be initiated immediately via Zelle. Via the Other Payment Services (defined in Section 1(b) of these Zelle and Other Payment Terms), you may also initiate (a) a one-time Payment Instruction to a Receiver for which processing shall be initiated at a later specified date up to one (1) year, and (b)a recurring series of Payment Instructions to a Receiver for which processing shall be initiated on the specified dates. Further details about each of these options can be found on the Site.
  2. Payment Instructions initiated to Receivers require you to provide contact information about the Receiver (including an email address and/or mobile telephone number). If the Receiver does not bank at a Network Financial Institution and has not yet enrolled in Zelle, then the Zelle Payment Service will contact the Receiver and request that the Receiver (i) provide information so that the identity of the Receiver may be validated at a Zelle Standalone Location and then (ii) provide Eligible Transaction Account information in order to complete the Payment Instruction (a “Two-Step Transfer”). If the Receiver maintains an Eligible Transaction Account with a Network Financial Institution and has not yet enrolled in Zelle, then the Zelle Payment Service will contact the Receiver regarding enrollment in Zelle and receipt of payment. If the Receiver has already enrolled in Zelle, then the Receiver will receive a message regarding your payment.
  3. Via the Other Payment Services (defined in Section 1(b) of these Zelle and Other Payment Terms), we also support the sending of money to Receivers if you provide the Eligible Transaction Account information for the Receiver and other contact information for the Receiver; such transactions are not sent via Zelle. You acknowledge and agree that if your Payment Instructions identify an account by name and account number, the relevant financial institution may execute those Payment Instructions by reference to the account number only, even if such account number does not correspond to the account name. You further acknowledge and agree that financial institutions holding the account may choose to not investigate discrepancies between account names and account numbers. We have no responsibility to investigate discrepancies between account names and account numbers, outside of our obligations under the law to investigate errors, described above in Section 22 of the General Terms (Errors, Questions, and Complaints).
  4. In most cases, when you are sending money to another User using the Zelle Payment Service, the transfer will occur in minutes; however, there are circumstances when the payment may take longer. For example, in order to protect you, us, Zelle and the other Network Financial Institutions, we may need additional time to verify your identity or the identity of the person receiving the money. If you are sending money to someone who has not enrolled as a User with Zelle, either via a Zelle Standalone Location (defined in Section 1(b) of these Zelle and Other Payment Terms) or a Network Financial Institution, they will receive a text or email notification instructing them on how to enroll to receive the money. You understand and acknowledge that a person to whom you are sending money and who is not enrolling as a User may fail to enroll with Zelle, or otherwise ignore the payment notification, and the transfer may not occur. The money may also be delayed or the transfer may be blocked to prevent fraud or comply with regulatory requirements. If we delay or block a payment that you have initiated, we will notify you in accordance with your User preferences (i.e. email, push notification). We have no control over the actions of other Users, other Network Financial Institutions or other financial institutions that could delay or prevent your money from being delivered to the intended User.
  5. For the Other Payment Services and those Zelle Payment Service payments where the Site indicates payment will require more than a business day, you understand and agree that when you initiate. Payment Instruction from an Eligible Transaction Account, the processing of the Payment Instruction will begin and the debiting of your Eligible Transaction Account will occur as early as the day of such initiation. However, you and the Receiver should not expect the payment funds to be transferred into the Receiver’s Eligible Transaction Account any earlier than the next business day after you initiated the Payment Instruction. As part of the Other Payment Services, if you request a one-time Payment Instruction to be initiated on a specified date or a recurring series of Payment Instruction to be initiated on specified dates, then the processing of the Payment Instruction will begin on the specified date and the debiting of your Eligible Transaction Account will occur as early as the specified date(s). However, you and the Receiver should not expect the payment funds to be transferred into the Receiver’s Eligible Transaction Account any earlier than the next business day following the specified date. In addition, in the case of all Two-Step Transfers, the deposit of the payment funds into the Receiver’s Eligible Transaction Account (even if debited or withdrawn from your Eligible Transaction Account) may be delayed if the Receiver has not enrolled in Zelle. The Site may contain additional information regarding the delivery of a payment to an Eligible Transaction Account.
  6. As to Recipients who have not yet enrolled with Zelle, you acknowledge and agree that we will begin to process the requested transfer of funds once the Receiver has provided (or we otherwise obtain) all required information, and you hereby authorize and direct us to retain such funds until the earlier of such time as the Receiver has provided (or we otherwise obtain) all required information or fourteen (14) days have elapsed. You further acknowledge and agree that our receipt of money to be transmitted to a Receiver shall not be deemed to have occurred and our obligation to complete a Payment Instruction shall not begin until such time as the Receiver provides us with (or we otherwise obtain) all required information necessary to process the related Payment Instruction in accordance with this Agreement.

4 Receiving Payments

  1. All transfers of money to you shall be performed by a Network Financial Institution per the direction of that Network Financial Institution Customer and at all times subject to the terms and conditions of the relevant service agreement between that Network Financial Institution and its customer, including without limitation any restrictions or prohibitions on permissible transactions. Once a User initiates a transfer of money to your email address or mobile phone number enrolled with the Zelle Payment Service, you have no ability to stop the transfer. Other Payment Service payments may be cancelled by the Sender as set forth in Section 6 (Payment Cancellation, Stop Payment Requests and Refused Payments for Other Payment Services) below. By using the Zelle Payment Service, you agree and authorize us to initiate credit entries to the bank account you have enrolled. If another person wants to initiate a Payment Instruction (including in response to a Zelle Payment Request, if applicable) using the Zelle Payment Service to an Eligible Transaction Account you hold or, as applicable, if you as a Requestor want to initiate a Zelle Payment Request, he, she or you can do that from the Site or from an Eligible Transaction Account at a financial institution that participates in the Zelle Payment Service or at a Zelle Standalone Location. If you are receiving a payment from a business or government agency, your payment will be delivered in accordance with both this Agreement and the procedures of the business or government agency that is sending you the payment.
  2. For the Zelle Payment Service, most transfers of money to you from other Users will occur within minutes. There may be other circumstances when the payment may take longer. For example, in order to protect you, us, Zelle and the other Network Financial Institutions, we may need or Zelle may need additional time to verify your identity or the identity of the person sending the money. We may also delay or block the transfer to prevent fraud or to meet our regulatory obligations. If we delay or block a payment that you have initiated through a request for money, we will notify you in accordance with your User preferences (i.e. email, push notification). You understand and agree that there may be a delay between the time you are notified of the pending Payment Instruction and the deposit of the payment funds into your Eligible Transaction Account, and you may be required to take additional steps to facilitate the deposit of the payment of funds into your Eligible Transaction Account, such as if we have questions regarding possible fraud in connection with the payment. You authorize the Sender, the financial institution which holds the Sender’s Eligible Transaction Account and us (including through the Site) to send emails to you and text messages to your mobile phone in connection with the Sender’s initiation of Payment Instructions to you, and, as a Receiver, you may receive Zelle Payment Requests, from others through the Zelle Payment Service.
  3. You acknowledge and agree that in the event that funds are transferred into your Eligible Transaction Account as a result of a Payment Instruction and it is determined that such transfer was improper because it was not authorized by the sender, because there were not sufficient funds in the sender’s account, or for any other reason, then you hereby authorize us or our Service Provider to withdraw from your Eligible Transaction Account an amount equal to the amount of funds improperly transferred to you.

5. Requesting Payments

You may request money from another User through a Zelle Payment Request. You understand and acknowledge that Users to whom you send payment requests may reject or ignore your request. Neither we nor Zelle guarantee that you will receive money from other Users by sending a Zelle Payment Request, or that you will receive the amount that you request. Neither we nor Zelle accept responsibility if the other User rejects or ignores your request, or sends you an amount that is less than you request. If a User ignores your request, we may decide or Zelle may decide, in our sole discretion, that we will not send a reminder or repeat request to that User.

In addition to the other restrictions in this Agreement, by accepting this Agreement, you agree that you are not engaging in the business of debt collection by attempting to use the Zelle Payment Service to request money for the payment or collection of an overdue or delinquent debt; to request money that is owed to another person; or to collect any amounts that are owed pursuant to a court order. You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Zelle, its owners, directors, officers agents and Network Financial Institutions from and against all claims, losses, expenses, damages and costs (including, but not limited to, direct, incidental, consequential, exemplary and indirect damages), and reasonable attorney’s fees, resulting from or arising out of any Zelle Payment Request that you send that is related to overdue or delinquent amounts. You agree to receive Zelle Payment Requests from other Users, and to only send Zelle Payment Requests for legitimate and lawful purposes. Zelle Payment Requests are solely between the Requestor and recipient and are not reviewed or verified by us or by Zelle. Neither we nor Zelle assume responsibility for the accuracy or legality of such requests and do not act as a debt collector on your behalf or on behalf of the Requestor. We reserve the right, but assume no obligation, to terminate your ability to send Zelle Payment Requests in general, or to specific recipients, if we deem such Zelle Payment Requests to be potentially unlawful, abusive, offensive or unwelcome by the recipient.

If applicable, if you as a Requestor initiate a Zelle Payment Request using the Zelle Payment Service, you acknowledge and agree that as disclosed on the Site (a) the applicable service fee will be deducted from payments received by you from a Sender(s), and (b) no service fee will be charged if you as the Requestor do not receive any payments from the individuals to whom the Zelle Payment Request is sent. Further details about the foregoing can be found on the Site. You acknowledge and agree that individuals to whom you send a Zelle Payment Request may not receive, or otherwise may reject or ignore, your Zelle Payment Request. We do not guarantee that you will receive any payments from individuals by initiating a Zelle Payment Request.

6. Payment Cancellation, Stop Payment Requests and Refused Payments for Other Payment Services

Zelle Payment Service payments can only be cancelled in the limited circumstances set forth in Section 3(a) (Sending Payments) above. This Section only applies to the Other Payment Services, not Zelle Payment Services. Sender may cancel the initiation of a Payment Instruction or stop a Payment Instruction at any time until the processing of the Payment Instruction into the Receiver’s Eligible Transaction Account has begun. Our ability to stop a Payment Instruction or recover funds associated with an unauthorized Payment Instruction will depend on the manner in which the Payment Instruction was initiated, and whether the Payment Instruction to the Receiver’s Eligible Transaction Account has begun processing. Although we will make a reasonable effort to accommodate a stop payment request and to recover funds associated with an unauthorized Payment Instruction, we will have no liability for failing to do so. We may also require you to present your stop payment request or request to recover funds in writing within fourteen (14) days after contacting customer care. If we charge you to stop the payment or recover funds, then the charge for each stop payment or fund recovery request will be the current charge as set out in our current Fee Schedule (airllevant.com/FeeSchedule). Payments not claimed by a Receiver who has not enrolled in Zelle will be automatically cancelled fourteen (14) days after the processing of the payment begins. We will, to the extent permitted by law, make reasonable attempts to return any unclaimed, refused, refunded, prohibited, or denied payment to your Eligible Transaction Account or use other reasonable efforts to return such payment to you as permitted by law.

7. Consent to Emails and Automated Text Messages

Section 8 (Text Messages, Calls and/or Emails to You) of the General Terms does not apply to Zelle Payment Services. By participating as a User, you represent that you are the owner of the email address, mobile phone number, and/or other alias you enrolled, or that you have the delegated legal authority to act on behalf of the owner of such email address, mobile phone number and/or other alias to send or receive money as described these Zelle and Other Payment Terms. You consent to the receipt of emails or text messages from us, from Zelle, from other Users that are sending you money or requesting money from you, and from other Network Financial Institutions or their agents regarding the Zelle and Other Payment Services or related transfers between Network Financial Institutions and you. You agree that we may, Zelle may or either of our agents may use automatic telephone dialing systems in connection with text messages sent to any mobile phone number you enroll. You further acknowledge and agree:

  1. You are responsible for any fees or other charges that your wireless carrier may charge for any related data, text or other message services, including without limitation for short message service. Please check your mobile service agreement for details or applicable fees.
  2. You will immediately notify us if any email address or mobile number you have enrolled is (i) surrendered by you, or (ii) changed by you.
  3. In the case of any messages that you may send through either us or Zelle or that we may send or Zelle may send on your behalf to an email address or mobile phone number, you represent that you have obtained the consent of the recipient of such emails or automated text messages to send such emails or text messages to the recipient. You understand and agree that any emails or text messages that we send or that Zelle sends on your behalf may include your name.
  4. Your wireless carrier is not liable for any delay or failure to deliver any message sent to or from us or Zelle, including messages that you may send through us or through Zelle or that we may send or Zelle may send on your behalf.
  5. To cancel text messaging from us, send STOP to 767666. For help or information regarding text messaging, send HELP to 767666 or contact our customer service at 800.358.8228. You expressly consent to receipt of a text message to confirm your “STOP” request.
  6. Supported carriers include AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon and others.
  7. Your phone service provider is not the provider of the Zelle and Other Payment Services. Users of the Zelle Payment Service will receive text messages relating to their Payment Instructions and other notices from time to time if a mobile phone number is provided. Data and messaging charges from your telecommunications provider may apply, and you are responsible for any such charges. In the event your enrolled mobile device is lost or stolen, you agree to update your enrollment information and make the appropriate changes to disable the use of such device. You understand that there are risks associated with using a mobile device, and that in the event of theft or loss, your confidential information could be compromised.

8. Service Fees and Additional Charges

You are responsible for paying all fees associated with your use of the Zelle and Other Payment Services. Applicable fees will be disclosed in the user interface for, or elsewhere within, the Zelle and Other Payment Services or Site. YOU FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT ANY APPLICABLE FEES WILL BE CHARGED REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE PAYMENT INSTRUCTION IS COMPLETED, UNLESS THE FAILURE TO COMPLETE THE INSTRUCTION IS SOLELY DUE TO OUR FAULT, except for those fees that are specifically use-based, such as Zelle Payment Requests, if applicable. There may be a charge for additional transactions and other optional services. You agree to pay such charges and authorize us to deduct the calculated amount from your designated Eligible Transaction Account for these amounts and any additional charges that may be incurred by you. Any financial fees associated with your standard deposit accounts (or Other Eligible Transaction Accounts) will continue to apply. You are responsible for any and all telephone access fees and Internet service fees that may be assessed by your telephone and Internet service provider.

Section 18 of the General Terms (Failed Or Returned Payment Instructions) applies if you do not pay our fees and charges for the Zelle and Other Payment Service, including without limitation if we debit the Eligible Transaction Account for such fees, as described in this Section, and there are insufficient fees in the Eligible Transaction Account.

9. Refused Payments

We reserve the right to refuse to pay any Receiver. We will attempt to notify the Sender promptly if we decide to refuse to pay a Receiver designated by the Sender. This notification is not required if you attempt to make a prohibited payment under this Agreement.

10. Returned Payments

In using the Zelle and Other Payment Services, you understand that Receivers may reject Payment Instructions or otherwise return payments only if the Receiver is not enrolled in Zelle. We will use reasonable efforts to complete Payment Instructions initiated through the Zelle Payment Service.

11. Consent to Share Personal Information (Including Account Information)

In addition to Section 20 (Information Authorization) of the General Terms, by accepting this Agreement, you consent to our disclosure of your personal information (including bank account information) to Zelle, other Network Financial Institutions and other third parties for the purposes permitted in the Zelle Network® Participation Rules in accordance with its customary processes and procedures, and as necessary to complete payment transactions in accordance with our customary processes and procedures, which may include, without limitation, the following:

  1. As necessary to resolve a problem related to a transfer or payment between you and another User;
  2. To verify the existence of your bank account, or debit card, as applicable;
  3. To comply with government agency or court orders;
  4. To our affiliates, as permitted by law;
  5. To verify your identity for purposes of compliance with applicable laws, including without limitation the USA PATRIOT Act;
  6. To comply with inquiries in connection with fraud prevention or any investigation;
  7. For our general business purposes, including without limitation data analysis and audits; or
  8. As otherwise permitted by the terms of our Privacy Policy.
