The Financial Institution may, but will not be obliged to, act on Remote Instructions received in the name of the Depositor along with any requisite PAC and/or PIW, if any, to the same extent as if the Remote Instructions were written instructions delivered to the Financial Institution by mail signed by the Depositor authorized to operate the Account. Any such Remote Instructions are deemed genuine.
The Financial Institution may, in its sole discretion, acting reasonably, delay acting on or refuse to act on any Remote Instruction.
A Remote Instruction is deemed received by the Financial Institution only when actually received and brought to the attention of an authorized officer of the Financial Institution capable of acting upon and implementing the Remote Instruction.
Remote Instructions can be transmitted to the Financial Institution at the telephone or fax number or email address provided by the Financial Institution, or at such other telephone or fax number or email address as the Financial Institution may advise the Depositor by notice in writing, or online through the Direct Services web portal.

c) once a PAC, PIN, and/or PIW has been used to authorize a Transaction, the Transaction may not be revoked or countermanded.

4.5 LOST OR DESTROYED INSTRUMENT – If an Instrument drawn on the Account is lost or destroyed while in the possession of another Financial Institution or its agents, the Financial Institution may, for all purposes, treat a copy of the Instrument, certified as being a true copy by the other financial institution, as though it were the original Instrument.
4.6 LOST OR STOLEN DEBIT CARD OR COMPROMISED PIN – If the Depositor suspects or becomes aware that the Debit Card is lost or stolen or that the PIN has been made accessible to another person, then the Depositor will notify the Financial Institution or its agent immediately, in person or by telephone. Notification will only be considered given if the Depositor speaks directly to an authorized Financial Institution officer or its agent. Upon receipt of such notice the Depositor’s liability for further unauthorized use of the Debit Card will terminate. if the Depositor notified the Financial Institution promptly and cooperated in any investigation, once the Financial Institution is satisfied that the Depositor is the victim of fraud, theft, or coercion by trickery, force, or intimidation, the Depositor will be entitled to recover from the Financial Institution any direct losses from the Account through the use of the Debit Card in such fraud, theft, or coercion.

5.4 OVERDRAFTS – If:
a) the Financial Institution honours a cheque or other Instrument drawn by the Depositor on any of the accounts and insufficient funds stand to the credit of that Account to pay the negotiable Instrument in full, or
b) a negotiable Instrument delivered by the Depositor to the Financial Institution for deposit, discount, collection, or otherwise is returned to the Financial Institution, dishonoured, and insufficient funds stand to the credit of the Account to permit the Financial Institution to debit the full amount of the dishonoured negotiable Instrument, or
c) the Financial Institution charges a fee, service charge, or other debit the Financial Institution is authorized to charge to one of the accounts, and if the funds standing to the credit of that Account are less than the amount charged to the Account,
then such event may, at the discretion of the Financial Institution, constitute:
d) an application to redeem or transfer Financial Institution shares owned by the Depositor or to withdraw or transfer monies on deposit from any of the accounts or any other Account in the Depositor’s name, to the extent that the funds standing to the credit of the particular Account are insufficient to pay the cheque or Instrument in full, or to permit the Financial Institution to charge the returned item or the fee, service charge, or debit to that Account, and
e) an application for a loan to the extent that the shares or monies standing to the credit of the Account or any other account in the Depositor’s name are insufficient to permit the payment or charging described in d) above.
If the Financial Institution grants a loan under e) above, the loan will be immediately due and payable forthwith without demand and the Depositor will pay interest on the balance of the loan at the Financial Institution’s Overdraft Rate in effect from time to time.
The foregoing provisions do not give the Depositor any right to overdraw an Account or to authorize or permit anything, including a PAD or a Transaction authorized through a Debit Card, that would result in a negative balance in any account. The Depositor agrees to indemnify the Financial Institution under article 7.3, Indemnity, d).

a) If the Depositor did not reveal the PAC, PIN, and/or PIW to any other person, other than authorized Financial Institution agents or officers when required by the Financial Institution, or write it down or otherwise record it, and changed the PAC, PIN, and/or PIW when required by this agreement, the Depositor will not be liable for any unauthorized use that occurs after the Financial Institution has received written notice from the Depositor that the PAC, PIN, and/or PIW may have become known to someone other than the Depositor. The Financial Institution will not be considered to have received written notice until the Financial Institution gives the Depositor written acknowledgement of receipt of such notice; and
b) The Financial Institution will not otherwise be liable for any damages or other liabilities that the Depositor may incur by reason of the Financial Institution acting, or failing to act, on Remote Instructions given in the name of the Depositor whether or not the Depositor actually gave the Remote Instructions. The Financial Institution will not be liable for any damages or other liabilities that the Depositor may incur by reason of the Financial Institution acting, or failing to act, on no statement requests made by the Depositor whether or not the Depositor actually gave the Remote Instructions.
6.2 PROCEDURES FOR ADDRESSING UNAUTHORIZED TRANSACTIONS AND OTHER TRANSACTION PROBLEMS – In the event of a problem with a Transaction or an unauthorized Transaction the Depositor will report the issue promptly to the Financial Institution. The Financial Institution will investigate and respond to the issue on a timely basis. The Financial Institution will not unreasonably restrict the Depositor from the use of any funds subject to dispute, as long as it is reasonably evident that the Depositor did not cause or contribute to the problem or unauthorized Transaction, has fully cooperated with the investigation, and has complied with this agreement. The Financial Institution will respond to reports of a problem or unauthorized transaction within 10 business days and will, within a reasonable period of time thereafter, indicate what reimbursement, if any, will be made for any loss incurred by the Depositor. Reimbursement will be made for losses from a problem or unauthorized Transaction in this time frame provided that the Depositor has complied with this agreement and on the balance of probabilities it is shown that the Depositor took all reasonable and required steps to:
a) protect the confidentiality of the PAC, PIN, and/or PIW as required by this agreement, and
b) use security safeguards to protect against loss, theft, and unauthorized access as required by this agreement.
6.3 DEBIT CARD CODE OF PRACTICE – This agreement is drafted with due regard to the Canadian code of practice for consumer Debit Card payment services, a copy of which is available from the Financial Institution on request.
If the Depositor is not satisfied with the Financial Institution’s response, the Financial Institution will provide the Depositor, upon request, with a written account of its investigation and the reason for its findings. If the Depositor is not satisfied, the issue will be referred for mediation to either a Financial Institution system dispute resolution service, or if no such service is available, to an external mediator if agreed between the Depositor and the Financial Institution. Neither the Financial Institution nor the Depositor will have the right to start court action until 30 days have passed since the problem was first raised with the Financial Institution.
Any dispute related to goods or services supplied in a Point-of-Sale Transaction is strictly between the Depositor and the Merchant, and the Depositor will raise no defence or claim against the Financial Institution.
6.4 ACCESS TERMINAL SECURITY – If Direct Services are made available through the internet or a telephone service provider, the Depositor acknowledges that, although the Financial Institution uses security safeguards to protect against loss, theft, and unauthorized access, because of the nature of data transmission, security is not guaranteed and information is transmitted at the risk of the Depositor. The Depositor acknowledges and shall ensure that any Access Terminal used to access Direct Services has a current anti-virus program, an anti-spyware program, and a firewall, and that it is their personal responsibility to reduce the risk of contaminants or online attacks and to comply with this provision. The Depositor further acknowledges that, to reduce the risk of unauthorized access to the Account through the Access Terminal, the Depositor will sign out of Direct Services and, where applicable, close the browser when they are finished using it. The Depositor further acknowledges that using public or shared computers and Access Terminals, or Access Terminals in a public place, to access Direct Services increases the risk of unauthorized access to the Account and will take all reasonable precautions to avoid such use and inadvertent disclosure of the PAC, PIN, and/or PIW.
6.5 PAC, PIN, AND PIW CONFIDENTIALITY – The Financial Institution can assign and/or require the Depositor to select and use a PAC, PIN, and/or PIW in connection with this agreement. The Depositor agrees to keep the PAC, PIN, and PIW confidential and will only reveal them to authorized Financial Institution agents or officers when required by the Financial Institution. The Depositor agrees not to record the PAC, PIN, or PIW in any format or medium. The Depositor can change the PAC, PIN, or PIW at any time. The Depositor agrees to change the PAC, PIN, or PIW if and when required by the Financial Institution. The Depositor acknowledges that the PAC, PIN, and/or PIW must be changed if there is a change in the persons authorized to provide Remote Instructions on the Account.
The Depositor is responsible for all use of the PAC, PIN, and/or PIW and for all Transactions on the Account.
The Depositor acknowledges that the Financial Institution may from time to time implement additional security measures, and the Depositor will comply with all instructions and procedures issued by the Financial Institution in respect of such security measures. The Depositor is aware of the risks of unsolicited email, telephone calls, and text message transmissions from persons purporting to be representatives of the Financial Institution. The Depositor agrees not to respond to such unsolicited communications and will only initiate communications with the Financial Institution either through the Financial Institution’s internet banking website or through the Financial Institution’s published contact information as shown on the Financial Institution’s website.
6.6 EXCLUSION OF FINANCIAL INSTITUTION RESPONSIBILITY – The Financial Institution is not responsible for any loss or damage suffered or incurred by the Depositor except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or intentional or wilful misconduct of the Financial Institution, and in any such case the Financial Institution will not be liable for any indirect, special, consequential, or exemplary damages (including, but not limited to, loss of profits) regardless of the cause of action and even if the Financial Institution has been advised of the possibility of such damages. In no event will the Financial Institution be liable for any cost, loss, or damage (whether direct, indirect, special, or consequential) suffered by the Depositor that is caused by:
a) the actions of, or any failure to act by, any Third Party (and no Third Party will be considered to be acting as an agent for the Financial Institution unless expressly authorized to do so),
b) the inaccuracies in, or inadequacies of, any information provided by the Depositor to the Financial Institution,
c) the failure by the Financial Institution to perform or fulfill any of its obligations to the Depositor, due to any cause beyond the Financial Institution’s control, or
d) forged, unauthorized, or fraudulent use of services, or forged, unauthorized, or fraudulent instructions or Instruments, or material alteration to an instruction, including Remote Instructions. 6.7 RISKS AND DUTIES – Except for loss caused exclusively by the Financial Institution’s gross negligence or intentional or wilful misconduct, and subject to the limitations of liability in this agreement, the Depositor assumes all risk of loss due to the use of the Account, including, without limitation, the risk of Third Party fraud. The Depositor further agrees that they will notify the Financial Institution immediately:
a) of any suspected or actual misuse or unauthorized use of the PAC, PIN, and/or PIW, or
b) if the PAC, PIN, and/or PIW becomes known to anyone other than the Depositor.
The Depositor agrees to change the PAC, PIN, and/or PIW in the event of a) or b) above.
The Depositor acknowledges that the Depositor is responsible for all use made of the PAC, PIN, and/or PIW and that the Financial Institution is not liable for the Depositor’s failure to comply with any part of this agreement. The Depositor is liable for all authorized and unauthorized use, including all Transactions. The Depositor is also liable for all fraudulent or worthless deposits made into the Account. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Depositor expressly acknowledges and agrees that they shall be bound by and liable for any use of the PAC, PIN, and/or PIW by a member of the Depositor’s household.
The Financial Institution will not be liable to the Depositor for any action or failure to act of a Merchant or refusal by a Merchant to honour the Debit Card, whether or not such failure or refusal is the result of any error or malfunction of a device used to authorize the use of the Debit Card for a Point-of-Sale Transaction.
Except for direct losses resulting from circumstances beyond the Depositor’s control such as technical problems and unauthorized use of the Debit Card and PIN, the Financial Institution will not be liable for any loss, damage, or injury arising from the use of ATMs or Point-of-Sale terminals or from any mechanical or operational failure of any such devices, and the Depositor releases the Financial Institution from liability for any such loss, damage, or injury. In the event of alteration of the Account balance due to technical problems, card issuer errors, and system malfunctions, the Depositor will be liable only to the extent of any benefit they have received, and will be entitled to recover from the Financial Institution any direct losses the Depositor may have suffered.
The Depositor will not use the Debit Card and PIN for any unlawful purpose, including the purchase of goods and services prohibited by local law applicable in the Depositor’s jurisdiction.
The Depositor is liable for all transfers to linked accounts. The Depositor bears all risk for all such Transactions.
Where the Depositor knows of facts that give rise or ought to give rise to suspicion that any Transactions, or instructions in respect of the Account, or Instruments deposited to the Account are fraudulent, unauthorized, counterfeit, or otherwise likely to be returned to the Financial Institution or found invalid for any reason, the Depositor has a duty to make reasonable inquiries of proper parties into such Transactions, instructions, or Instruments, as the case may be, to determine whether they are valid authorized Transactions, instructions, or Instruments, as the case may be, before negotiating or, alternatively, accessing any funds derived from such Transactions, instructions, or Instruments, and to disclose to the Financial Institution, the Depositor’s suspicion and the facts upon which the Depositor’s suspicion is based (“Suspicious Circumstances”).
The Financial Institution may, in its sole discretion, investigate any Suspicious Circumstances disclosed by the Depositor but the Financial Institution does not owe the Depositor any obligation to undertake its own investigation of Suspicious Circumstances. The Financial Institution may place a hold on all or some of the Accounts pending investigation of any improper use of any Account. Any hold imposed by the Financial Institution pursuant to any of the terms of this agreement, or investigation undertaken by the Financial Institution, is imposed or undertaken by the Financial Institution at the Financial Institution’s sole discretion and for the Financial Institution’s sole benefit.
Release of a hold by the Financial Institution is not a confirmation that a Transaction, instruction, or Instrument is in fact good and may not be relied upon as such by the Depositor. If, to the satisfaction of the Financial Institution, any improper use is established, the Financial Institution can withdraw or suspend operation of the Account without notice.
6.8 FINANCIAL INSTITUTION RECORDS – The Financial Institution may record or store any information regarding any account in such form and by means of such services as the Financial Institution sees fit.  If the Financial Institution uses the services at any electronic data processing service bureau or organization in connection with any Account, the Financial Institution shall not be liable for any act or omission of such service bureau or organization in the performance of the services required of it.  The Financial Institution’s records of all Transactions will be deemed to be correct and will be conclusive and binding on the Depositor. All Transactions will appear on the regular statements of account for the Account.
If the Depositor thinks that the records of the Financial Institution contain an error or omission, or reflect unauthorized Account activity, the Depositor must give immediate written notice to the Financial Institution, and in any event, must do so within the time provided in this agreement.
A copy of any fax or email message or other Remote Instructions or the Financial Institution’s notes of any Remote Instructions given by telephone may be entered into evidence in any court proceedings as if it were an original document signed by the Depositor. The Depositor will not object to the admission of the Financial Institution’s or Central 1’s records as evidence in any legal proceeding on the grounds that such records are not originals, are not in writing, are hearsay, or are documents containing information extracted from a computer and all such records will be conclusive evidence of the Remote Instructions in the absence of documentary recorded evidence to the contrary.
In the absence of evidence to the contrary, the records of the Financial Institution are conclusive for all purposes, including litigation, in respect of any other matter or thing relating to the state of the Accounts between the Depositor and the Financial Institution in respect of any Transaction.
6.9 LIABILITY FOR ERRORS AND OMISSIONS – If the Financial Institution makes an error or omission in recording or processing any Transaction, the Financial Institution is only liable for the amount of the error or omission if the Depositor has not caused or contributed to the error or omission in any way, has complied with this agreement, has given written notice to the Financial Institution within the time provided in this agreement, and to the extent the liability is not otherwise excluded by this agreement.
If the Depositor has given such notice, the Financial Institution’s maximum liability is limited to the amount of the error or omission. In no event will the Financial Institution be liable for any delay, inconvenience, cost, loss, or damage (whether direct, special, indirect, exemplary, or consequential) whatsoever caused by, or arising from, any such error or omission.

7. THIRD PARTIES
7.1 LINKS – If Direct Services are made available through the Internet, the Financial Institution’s website may provide links to other websites, including those of Third Parties who may also provide services to the Depositor. The Depositor acknowledges that all those other websites and Third Party services are independent from the Financial Institution’s and may be subject to separate agreements as govern their use. The Financial Institution and Central 1 have no liability for those other websites or their contents or the use of Third Party services. Links are provided for convenience only and the Depositor assumes all risk resulting from accessing or using such other websites or Third Party services.
7.2 SERVICES – The Financial Institution and Central 1 may from time to time make services provided by Third Parties available through the Financial Institution’s website or Direct Services. The Depositor acknowledges and agrees that:
a) the Financial Institution and Central 1 make the services of Third Parties available through the Financial Institution’s website or Direct Services for the convenience of Depositors. The services are provided by the Third Party and not the Financial Institution or Central 1. The Depositor’s relationship with the Third Party shall be a separate relationship, independent of the relationship between the Depositor and the Financial Institution and Central 1 and such a relationship is outside the control of the Financial Institution and Central 1;
b) the Financial Institution and Central 1 make no representation or warranty to the Depositor with respect to any services provided by a Third Party even though those services may be accessed by the Depositor through the Financial Institution’s website or through Direct Services;
c) the Depositor assumes all risks associated with accessing or using the services of Third Parties;
d) the Financial Institution and Central 1 have no responsibility or liability to the Depositor in respect of services provided by a Third Party;
e) any dispute that relates to services provided by a Third Party is strictly between the Depositor and the Third Party and the Depositor will raise no defence or claim against the Financial Institution and/or Central 1; and
f) the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act and Regulations may apply to the services provided by Third Parties and that the Third Parties will from time to time adopt policies and procedures to address the reporting, record-keeping, and client identification requirements of that legislation.
7.3 INDEMNITY – The Depositor agrees to indemnify and hold the Financial Institution and its service providers and Central 1 and all of their connected parties, including, without limitation their respective agents, directors, officers, employees, affiliates, and licensees (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all liabilities and costs, including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Parties in connection with any claim or demand arising out of or connected to the Depositor’s use of the Account. Depositors must assist and cooperate as fully as reasonably required by the indemnified parties in the defense of any such claim or demand. The disclaimers, liability exclusions, liability limitations, and indemnity provisions in this agreement survive indefinitely after the termination of this agreement and apply to the extent permitted by law. Without limiting the foregoing, the Depositor will indemnify and save the Indemnified Parties harmless from and against all liability, costs, loss, and damages, including direct, indirect, and consequential incurred by the Indemnified Parties as a result of:
a) any of the Indemnified Parties making the Account available to the Depositor,
b) any of the Indemnified Parties acting upon, or refusing to act upon, Remote Instructions,
c) any of the Indemnified Parties acting upon, or refusing to act upon, no statement requests made by the Depositor,
d) any Transaction that would result in a negative balance in the Account, or
e) any other Transaction authorized by the Depositor.
This indemnity will enure to the benefit of the Indemnified Parties and will be binding upon the Depositor and the Depositor’s heirs, executors, successors, and assigns and shall survive the termination of this agreement for any act or omission prior to termination as gives rise to an indemnified claim, even if notice is received after termination.

8. ACCOUNT RECORDS
8.1 PAPER STATEMENTS – Unless the Depositor requests the Financial Institution to hold the Depositor’s statement of account for the Account for pick up by the Depositor, or appoints in writing an agent to pick up the statement of account for the Account, or consents to the statement of account for the Account being made available electronically, or requests no statement of account for the Account to be sent by the Financial Institution, the Financial Institution will mail such statement of account for the Account to the Depositor at the address the Depositor last gave in writing. It is the Depositor’s responsibility to notify the Financial Institution immediately of any change in the Depositor’s address.
8.2 NO PAPER STATEMENT ACKNOWLEDGEMENT – If, at the request of the Depositor, the Financial Institution agrees to cease printing and mailing statements of account for the Account to the Depositor, the Depositor acknowledges and agrees that the Depositor will be responsible to obtain (whether from the Financial Institution or using Direct Services) and review, after the end of each calendar month, a statement of account for the Account.
8.3 COMPLIANCE WITH NOTIFICATION DATE – The Depositor will be responsible to obtain (whether from the Financial Institution or using Direct Services) and review, after the end of each calendar month, a statement of the activity in the Account, and will, by no later than the end of the following calendar month (the “Notification Date”), notify the Financial Institution of any errors, irregularities, omissions, or unauthorized Transactions of any type in that account record or of any Instruments or other items or of any forgeries, fraudulent, or unauthorized Transactions of any type and any debits wrongly made to the Account.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this agreement, after the Notification Date (except as to any errors, irregularities, omissions, or unauthorized Transactions of any type of which the Depositor has notified the Financial Institution in writing on or before the Notification Date), the Depositor agrees that:
a) the amount of the balances shown on the last day of the calendar month is correct and binding on the Depositor subject to the right of the Financial Institution to make reversals in accordance with this agreement,
b) all amounts charged to the Account are valid,
c) the Depositor is not entitled to be credited with any amount not shown on the statement of account for the Account for that calendar month,
d) the Depositor has verified the validity of any Instruments and instructions, and
e) the use of any service shown is correct.
8.4 DEPOSITOR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT – The Depositor acknowledges that:
a) notwithstanding a negotiable Instrument may be provisionally posted to the Account, it is not considered processed until it has been honoured and irrevocably collected by the Financial Institution and the time for return by any process of law has expired. The credit represented by a negotiable Instrument that is not honoured and collected, or is charged back or tainted by fraud, may be reversed from the Account notwithstanding any provisional posting. The statement of account for the Account will be modified accordingly, and
b) notwithstanding a deposit or other credit may be provisionally posted to the Account, it is not considered processed until it has been verified and accepted by the Financial Institution. A deposit or other credit that is not verified and accepted may be reversed from the Account notwithstanding any provisional posting. The statement of account for the Account will be modified accordingly.
8.5 PAD REIMBURSEMENT – Despite article 8.3, Compliance with Notification Date above, if the Depositor has authorized PADs to be issued against any of the Accounts, the Rules provide that, under specified conditions, claims for reimbursement of PADs may be made and:
a) where the purpose of the PAD was for payment of consumer goods and services, the time period for making such a claim is 90 calendar days from the date of debiting, or
b) where the purpose of the PAD was for payment of goods and services related to commercial activities of the Depositor, the time period for making such a claim is 10 business days from the date of debiting.
Claims must be made in writing to the Financial Institution within the specified time period and in compliance with the Rules, as amended from time to time.
8.6 ACCOUNT STATEMENTS AND TRANSACTION VERIFICATION – The Depositor shall be deemed to have received a statement of account for the Account each time the Depositor uses Direct Services and each time the Depositor obtains an Account balance through any ATM or Access Terminal or conducts a point of sale Transaction. The Depositor shall also be deemed to have received and reviewed a statement of account for the Account at least monthly no later than the 21st day of the month following the preceding month, whether actually issued by the Financial Institution or whether the Depositor actually receives one or not.
The Depositor agrees to examine every statement of account for the Account as soon as the Depositor receives it or is deemed to have received it. The Depositor shall immediately, and in any event no later than 30 days after receiving or being deemed to have received a statement of account for the Account, give notice to the Financial Institution of any errors, omissions, or irregularities, including any fraud or unauthorized activity, included in or preceding each such statement of account for the Account. Unless objected to in writing within 30 days of the date on which the statement of account for the Account is received or is deemed to have been received by the Depositor, the Depositor agrees that the Financial Institution’s records are conclusive evidence of the Depositor’s dealings with the Financial Institution regarding the Depositor’s Account and are correct, complete, authorized, and binding upon the Depositor, and the Financial Institution will be released from all responsibility for Account activity preceding the statement of account for the Account.
After the expiration of the 30-day period (except for errors or irregularities identified by notice in writing to the Financial Institution before the 30 days expire), the Depositor may not claim for any purpose that any entry on the statement of account for the Account is incorrect and will have no claim against the Financial Institution for reimbursement relating to any entry, even if the entry is unauthorized or fraudulent or is based upon an Instrument or instruction that is forged, unauthorized, or fraudulent.
Nothing in this article limits in any way the rights of the Financial Institution under this agreement, including, without limitation, the rights of the Financial Institution under article 5.1, Deposits, 5.3, Returned Items, and article 2.6, Noting or Protesting.
8.7 RECORDS AND CHEQUE IMAGING – The Financial Institution will determine, in its sole discretion, whether Instruments and other items will be returned to the Depositor with the statement of account for the Account.
If the Financial Institution implements an imaging program, the Financial Institution will determine, in its sole discretion, whether copies of images of Instruments and other items will be provided for the statement of account for the Account. The Depositor acknowledges that copies of images of Instruments and other items may be provided before the Financial Institution has determined whether the Instrument or other item will be honoured or accepted and agrees that copies of images of Instruments and other items are made available by the Financial Institution as a service to the Depositor and that the provision of copies of images of Instruments and other items does not mean that the Transaction has been processed or in any way oblige the Financial Institution to honour or accept the Instrument or other item.
The Depositor acknowledges that, if the Financial Institution adopts an imaging program, the physical Instruments and other items may be destroyed. If the Financial Institution has implemented an imaging program and determines not to include copies of images of Instruments and other items with the statement of account for the Account, the Financial Institution will ensure that copies of images can be made available to the Depositor upon request for at least 5 years following the date of the statement of account for the Account on which the Instrument or other item appears, subject to payment of the service charges established by the Financial Institution from time to time.
8.8 VIEWING DOCUMENTS – The Financial Institution may, in connection with Direct Services, permit the Depositor to view and print images of documents. The Depositor acknowledges and agrees that such images are made available by the Financial Institution as a service to the Depositor and the provision of such images does not in any way oblige the Financial Institution.

9. OPERATION OF THE ACCOUNT

AGREEMENTS

MemberCard PIN Agreement

Nature and Purpose of the Debit Card
I will use the Debit Card only for the purpose of obtaining such services as are agreed upon between me and my credit union. On thirty days’ written notice, my credit union may add to or delete from the types of use that are permitted, and the issuance of the Debit Card does not amount to a representation or a warranty that any particular type of service is available or shall be available at
any time in the future. This agreement, and the fact that I have the use of the Debit Card, does not give me any credit privileges or any entitlement to overdraw my Account, except as provided by a separate agreement with my credit union.

Confidentiality and Personal Identification Number (PIN)
I will not select an obvious combination of digits for my PIN (e.g., address, card number, account number, telephone number, birth date, or Social Insurance Number). I understand that my credit union has only disclosed the PIN to me and to no one else, and I will never, under any circumstances, disclose the PIN to any other person. I will not use my PIN as my telephone or online access code. I will not keep a written record of the PIN, unless the written record is not carried next to the Debit Card and is in a form indecipherable to others. I will always screen the entry of the PIN with my hand or body.

Withdrawals and Deposits
Unless I have made other arrangements with my credit union, amounts credited to my Account as a result of deposits using the Debit Card will not be available for withdrawal until the deposits are verified and negotiable items such as cheques are honoured. Withdrawals or transfers effected by the use of the Debit Card will be debited to my account as of the time they are made. I will not
deposit any coins, non-negotiable items or anything not acceptable for deposit to my Account into any automated teller machine, and will pay to my credit union any damages, costs or losses suffered by my credit union as a result of any such deposit.

Consequences of a Breach of Card Security
Once I have requested and first used the Debit Card service, I will be liable for all authorized and unauthorized uses of the Debit Card by any person up to my established withdrawal limit (including funds accessible through a line of credit or overdraft privilege), prior to the expiry or cancellation of the Debit Card. However, in the event of an alteration of my Account balance due to technical problems, card issuer errors and system malfunctions, I will be liable only to the extent of any benefit I have received and will be entitled to recover from the credit union any direct losses I may have suffered. My credit union will have the discretion to relieve me from liability for unauthorized use of my Debit Card either through no fault of my own or in a case where I have inadvertently contributed to the unauthorized use of my Debit Card, and I will cooperate in an investigation. My credit union will not be liable to me for any action or failure to
act of a Merchant or refusal by a Merchant to honour the Debit Card, whether or not such failure or refusal is the result of any error or malfunction of a device used to effect or authorize the use of the Debit Card for a Point-of-Sale Transaction. I understand that I must not use my Debit Card and PIN for any unlawful purpose, including the purchase of goods and services, prohibited by
local law applicable in my jurisdiction.

Lost or Stolen Card, or Compromised PIN
If I become aware that the Debit Card is lost or stolen, or that the PIN has been made accessible to another person, I will notify my credit union or its agent immediately, whereupon the Debit Card will be cancelled or the PIN changed. The instant such notice is actually received or when my credit union is satisfied that I became the victim of fraud, theft, or coercion by trickery, force or
intimidation, my liability for further use of the Debit Card will terminate, and I will be entitled to recover from my credit union any further losses suffered by me through the use of the Debit Card.

Procedures for Addressing Unauthorized Transactions and Other Transaction Problems
In the event of a problem with a Debit Card transaction, or unauthorized Debit Card transaction, other than a matter related to goods or services provided by Merchants, I will report the issue promptly to my credit union and the credit union will investigate and respond to the issue on a timely basis. My credit union will not unreasonably restrict me from the use of any funds subject to dispute, provided that it is reasonably evident that I did not contribute to the problem or unauthorized transaction. My credit union will respond to my report of a problem or unauthorized transaction within 10 business days and will indicate what reimbursement, if any, will be made for any loss incurred by me. Reimbursement will be made for losses from a problem or unauthorized use in this time frame provided that on the balance of probabilities, it is shown that I did not contribute knowingly to the problem or unauthorized transaction and that I took reasonable steps to protect the confidentiality of my PIN. An extension of the 10-day limit may be necessary if my credit union requires me to provide a written statement or affidavit to aid its investigation.

Dispute Resolution
If I am not satisfied with my credit union’s response, my credit union will provide me, upon request, with a written account of its investigation and the reasons for its findings. If I am not satisfied, the issue will be referred to either a credit union system dispute resolution service or an external mediator, as agreed between me and my credit union. Neither my credit union nor I will have the
right to start court action until 30 days have passed since the issue was first raised with my credit union. Any dispute related to goods or services supplied in a Point-of-Sale Transaction is strictly between me and the Merchant, and I will raise no defence or claim against my credit union.

Fees
I acknowledge having been advised of, and will pay, the applicable fees now in effect for services available under this agreement. New or amended fees will only become effective 30 days after publication by my credit union.

Foreign Currency Transaction
If the Debit Card is used in connection with a transaction in foreign currency, I understand that the rate of conversion into Canadian currency will be fixed according to the rules of the electronic network through which the transaction is conducted.

Evidence of Transactions
A paper Transaction Record dispensed mechanically as a result of the use of the Debit Card constitutes a record of my instructions. Whether such a Transaction Record is issued or not, it is my responsibility to verify that the transaction has been properly executed by checking the periodic statement or passbook entries itemizing transactions. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, the records of my credit union are conclusive for all purposes, including litigation, in respect of any instructions given by me to my credit union through the use of the Debit Card; the contents of any envelope deposited by me into an automated teller machine; the making of a withdrawal, deposit or transfer through the use of the Debit Card; and any other matter or thing relating to the state of accounts between me and my credit union in respect of any electronic transaction.

Scope of Agreement
This agreement replaces any prior agreement governing the use of the Debit Card and the PIN, but does not replace or supersede any agreement or provision of any agreement relating to any loan, credit facility or the operation of any Account. This agreement applies to any Account specified herein and, as well, to any other account designated by me from time to time for use in connection with the Debit Card.

Termination of agreement 
My credit union remains the owner of the Debit Card. It may restrict the use of the Debit Card or may terminate this agreement and my right to use the Debit Card, at any time without notice. I will return the Debit Card to my credit union upon request.

Cardholder Privacy
I acknowledge that my credit union has policies to protect my privacy and that I may obtain particulars upon request. I hereby consent to the use of my personal information by my credit union and its affiliates to monitor the use of financial services, in order to detect fraud, develop needed products and services, and offer members needed services. However, if I have given or hereafter give express consent to the collection, use and further disclosure of my Personal Information by the Credit Union in a form and content that is more permissive than the consent provided herein, the other form of consent shall govern our relationship. I may withdraw my consent at any time by contacting the credit union’s Privacy Officer.

Code of Practice
I understand that the credit union system, in concert with the banking industry, has endorsed the voluntary Canadian Code of Practice for Consumer Debit Card Services, a copy of which is available from my credit union on request and credit unions will be guided by the principles of the Code in administering the operation of Debit Card matters.

Interpretation and Definitions
This agreement is intended to be interpreted in accordance with its plain English meaning. Except where otherwise indicated, capitalized terms are used in accordance with the definitions set out in the Canadian Code of Practice for Consumer Debit Card Services. For the purposes of this agreement, Point-of-Sale Transaction means the use of the Card and its associated PIN for such of the
following purposes as may be permitted from time to time by my credit union:
(a) the transfer of funds from my Account to purchase or lease goods or services from a seller, lessor or service provider (a Merchant);
(b) the transfer of funds from my Account to obtain a voucher, chit, scrip, token or other thing that may be exchanged for goods, services or money,
or (c) the transfer of funds into my Account from an Account of a Merchant (e.g. a refund).

Receipt of Copy of agreement
I acknowledge the receipt of a true copy of this agreement or a previous version thereof signed by me upon initiation of PIN-based Debit Card service and that this agreement does not require signature by my credit union. I acknowledge that this agreement may be amended unilaterally by my credit union upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to me, and until the agreement is
terminated, the use or continued use of the card by me shall be conclusively deemed to be the acceptance by me of any amendments to this agreement. I also agree to keep this copy of this agreement for my own records. I understand I may obtain from any branch of my credit union a copy of any changes to the agreement or the revised agreement.

8. REMOTE INSTRUCTIONS – You may provide Remote Instructions to any branch of the Financial Institution as permitted by Us, online through the Direct Services web portal, or through Our telephone banking service, if any. The Remote Instructions may concern the Account maintained at that branch, or concern other Transactions and arrangements conducted at or with that branch.
The Financial Institution may, but will not be obliged to, act on Remote Instructions received in Your name along with any requisite PAC and PIW, if any, to the same extent as if the Remote Instructions were written instructions delivered to Us by mail and signed by You authorized to operate the Account. Any such Remote Instructions are deemed genuine.
The Financial Institution may, in its sole discretion, acting reasonably, delay acting on or refuse to act on any Remote Instruction.
A Remote Instruction is deemed received by Us only when actually received and brought to the attention of an authorized officer, agent or processor of the Financial Institution capable of acting upon and implementing the Remote Instruction.
Remote Instructions can be transmitted to the Financial Institution at the telephone or fax number or email address provided by Us, or at such other telephone or fax number or email address as We may advise You by notice in writing, or online through the Direct Services web portal. Any one person purporting to be the Depositor may act alone and provide Remote Instructions to the Financial Institution, even if 2 or more signatures are otherwise required to operate the Account. The Financial Institution, acting reasonably, is entitled to assume that any person identifying himself or herself as You is in fact You, and can rely upon such, and We may act on the Remote Instructions provided by any such person as fully authorized by You, even if such were not. All Remote Instructions given to the Financial Institution in Your name will bind You. If the Depositor does not wish to permit Remote Instructions, then the Depositor should not subscribe to The Services.

9. VERIFICATION AND ACCEPTANCE OF TRANSACTIONS BY US – All transactions are subject to verification and acceptance by Us and, if not accepted, or if accepted but subsequently determined to be in error or otherwise improper or unauthorized, the Financial Institution may, but is not obliged to, reverse them from the Account. Verification may take place at a date later than the date You authorized the Transaction, which may affect the Transaction date. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if at any time the Financial Institution, acting reasonably, ever determines that a credit made to or traced to the Account was made in error or based upon a mistake of fact, or induced through or in any way tainted by fraud or unlawful conduct, We may place a hold on the credit and reverse the credit and any applicable interest.

10. FINANCIAL INSTITUTION RECORDS – Whether a Transaction Record is issued or not, it is Your responsibility to verify that all Transactions have been properly executed by checking the periodic statement or passbook entries itemizing Transactions and reviewing Your Transaction Records. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, Our records are conclusive for all purposes, including litigation, in respect of any instructions given by You to Us through the use of the Debit Card; the contents of any envelope deposited into Your Account at an ATM; the making of a withdrawal, deposit or transfer through the use of the Debit Card; and any other matter or thing relating to the state of accounts between You and Us. Our records of all Transactions will be deemed to be correct and will be conclusive and binding on You. All Transactions will appear on the regular statements of account for the Account.
If You believe or suspect that the records of the Financial Institution contain an error or omission, or reflect unauthorized Account activity, You must give immediate written notice to Us, and in any event, must do so within the shorter of the time provided in the Account Agreement or 45 days from the date of the Transaction.
A copy of any fax or email message or other Remote Instructions or the Financial Institution’s notes of any Remote Instructions given by telephone may be entered into evidence in any court proceedings as if it were an original document signed by You. You will not object to the admission of the Financial Institution’s or Central 1’s records as evidence in any legal proceeding on the grounds that such records are not originals, are not in writing, are hearsay, or are documents containing information extracted from a computer, and all such records will be conclusive evidence of the Remote Instructions in the absence of documentary recorded evidence to the contrary.

11. LIABILITY FOR ERRORS AND OMISSIONS – If the Financial Institution makes an error or omission in recording or processing any Transaction, the Financial Institution is only liable for the amount of the error or omission if You have not caused or contributed to the error or omission in any way, have complied with this Agreement and the Account Agreement, and have given written notice to Us within the time provided in the Account Agreement, and to the extent the liability is not otherwise excluded by this Agreement or the Account Agreement.
If You have given such notice, the Financial Institution’s maximum liability is limited to the amount of the error or omission. In no event will We be liable for any delay, inconvenience, cost, loss, or damage (whether direct, special, indirect, exemplary, or consequential) whatsoever caused by, or arising from any such error or omission.

12. EXCLUSION OF FINANCIAL INSTITUTION RESPONSIBILITY – We are not responsible for any loss or damage suffered or incurred by You except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or intentional or wilful misconduct of the Financial Institution, and in any such case, We will not be liable for any indirect, special, consequential, or exemplary damages (including, but not limited to, loss of profits) regardless of the cause of action and even if We have been advised of the possibility of such damages. In no event will We be liable for any cost, loss, or damage (whether direct, indirect, special, or consequential) suffered by You that is caused by:
a) the actions of, or any failure to act by, You, or any Third Party (and no Third Party will be considered to be acting as an agent for Us unless expressly authorized to do so for that purpose);
b) the inaccuracies in, or inadequacies of, any information furnished by You to Us, including, but not limited to any failed, duplicative, or erroneous transmission of Remote Instructions;
c) the failure by Us to perform or fulfill any of Our obligations to You, due to any cause beyond Our control; or
d) forged, unauthorized, or fraudulent use of services, or forged, unauthorized, or fraudulent instructions or Instruments, or material alteration to an instruction, including Remote Instructions.

13. RISKS AND DUTIES – Except for loss caused exclusively by Our gross negligence or intentional or wilful misconduct, and subject to the limitations of liability in this Agreement or the Account Agreement, You assume all risk of loss due to the use of The Services, including, without limitation, the risk of Third Party fraud. You further agree that You will notify Us immediately:
a) of any suspected or actual misuse or unauthorized use of the PAC, PIW or PIN; or
b) if the PAC, PIW or PIN becomes known to anyone other than You; or
c) if You receive Notification of any Transaction affecting the Account that alerts You of Account activity that was not authorized by You.
You will change the PAC, PIW or PIN if either of the notification requirements above in a) or b) arises.
The notification requirement above in b) does not apply if You have disclosed the PAC to a Third Party for a personal financial management service similar to that described in article 30, Personal Financial Management and You are otherwise unaware of suspected or actual misuse or unauthorized use or activity.
You acknowledge that You are responsible for all use made of the PAC, PIW and PIN and that We are not liable for Your failure to comply with any part of this Agreement. You are liable for all authorized and unauthorized use, including all Transactions. You are also liable for all fraudulent or worthless deposits made into the Account. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, You expressly acknowledge and agree that You shall be bound by and liable for any use of the PAC, PIW or PIN by a member of Your household whether authorized by You or not.
You are liable for all transfers to linked accounts. You bear all risk for all such Transactions.
Where You know of facts that give rise or ought to give rise to a suspicion that any Transactions, or instructions in respect of the Account, or Instruments deposited to the Account are fraudulent, unauthorized, counterfeit, or induced through or in any way tainted by fraud or unlawful conduct, or otherwise likely to be returned to Us or found invalid for any reason, You have a duty to make reasonable inquiries of proper parties into such Transactions, instructions, or Instruments, as the case may be, to determine whether they are valid authorized Transactions, instructions, or Instruments, as the case may be, before negotiating or, alternatively, accessing any funds derived from such Transactions, instructions, or Instruments, and to disclose to the Financial Institution, Your suspicion and the facts upon which Your suspicion is based (“Suspicious Circumstances”).
The Financial Institution may, in its sole discretion, investigate any Suspicious Circumstances disclosed by You, but We do not owe You any obligation to undertake Our own investigation of Suspicious Circumstances. The Financial Institution may place a hold on all or some of Your Accounts pending investigation of any improper use of any Account. Any hold imposed by Us pursuant to any of the terms of this Agreement, or investigation undertaken by Us, is imposed or undertaken by Us at Our sole discretion and for the Financial Institution’s sole benefit.
Release of a hold by Us is not a confirmation that a Transaction, instruction, or Instrument is in fact good or cleared or not subject to chargeback and may not be relied upon as such by You. If to Our satisfaction any improper use is established, We can withdraw or suspend The Services and operation of the Account without notice.

14. RIGHTS FOR INNOCENT BREACH – Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Account Agreement:
a) if You did not reveal the PAC, PIW or PIN to any other person, other than authorized Financial Institution agents or officers when required by Us, or write it down or otherwise record it, and changed the PAC, PIW and when required by this Agreement, You will not be liable for any unauthorized use that occurs after We have received written notice from You that the PAC, PIW or PIN may have become known to someone other than You. We will not be considered to have received written notice until the Financial Institution gives You written acknowledgement of receipt of such notice; and
b) We will not otherwise be liable for any damages or other liabilities that You may incur by reason of the Financial Institution acting, or failing to act, on Remote Instructions given in Your name whether or not You actually gave the Remote Instructions. We will not be liable for any damages or other liabilities that You may incur by reason of the Financial Institution acting, or failing to act, on no statement requests made by You through Direct Services whether or not You actually gave the Remote Instructions.

15. DISPUTE RESOLUTION – PROCEDURES FOR ADDRESSING UNAUTHORIZED TRANSACTIONS AND OTHER TRANSACTION
PROBLEMS – In the event of a problem with a Direct Services Transaction or an unauthorized Direct Services Transaction, You will report the issue immediately to the Financial Institution. We will investigate and respond to the issue in a timely way. We will not unreasonably restrict You from the use of the Account subject to dispute, as long as it is reasonably evident that You did not cause or contribute to the problem or unauthorized Transaction, have fully cooperated with the investigation, and have complied with this Agreement and the Account Agreement. We will respond to reports of a problem or unauthorized Transaction within 10 business days and will, within a reasonable period of time thereafter, indicate what reimbursement, if any, will be made for any loss incurred by You. Reimbursement will be made for losses from a problem or unauthorized Transaction in this time frame provided that You have complied with this Agreement and on the balance of probabilities it is shown that You took all reasonable and required steps to:
a) protect the confidentiality of the PAC, PIW and PIN as required by this Agreement and the Account Agreement;
b) use security safeguards to protect against and detect loss, theft, and unauthorized access as required by this Agreement and the Account Agreement; and
c) act immediately, upon receiving a Notification of, or becoming aware of, an unauthorized Transaction, to mitigate against further loss and report the issue to the Financial Institution.

16. ACCESS TERMINAL/MOBILE DEVICE SECURITY – If The Services are made available through the Internet or a telephone service provider, You acknowledge that although the Financial Institution uses security safeguards to protect against loss, theft, and unauthorized access, because of the nature of data transmission, security is not guaranteed and information is transmitted at Your risk. You acknowledge and shall ensure that any private Access Terminal used by You to access The Services is auto-locked by a password or biometric to prevent unauthorized use of that Access Terminal, has a current anti-Contaminant program, and a firewall, and that it is Your personal responsibility to reduce the risk of Contaminants or online attacks and to comply with this provision. You further acknowledge that to reduce the risk of unauthorized access to the Account through the Access Terminal, You will sign out of The Services and, where applicable, close the browser or banking app when finished using it. You further acknowledge that using public or shared computers and certain other Access Terminals through an open WiFi or shared Bluetooth portal, to access The Services increases the risk of unauthorized access to the Account, and You will take all reasonable precautions to avoid such use or inadvertent disclosure of the PAC, PIW and PIN.

17. FRAUD PREVENTION AND DETECTION – You agree to maintain appropriate security controls and procedures to prevent and detect thefts of Instruments, or losses due to fraud or forgery involving Instruments, or fraudulent or unauthorized Transactions.
You agree to diligently supervise and monitor the conduct and work of all agents having any role in the preparation of Your Instruments, Your reconciliation of the statement of account for the Account, or other banking functions.

18. LINKS – If The Services are made available through the Internet, the Financial Institution’s website may provide links to other websites, including those of Third Parties who may also provide services to You. You acknowledge that all those other websites and Third Party services are independent from the Financial Institution’s and may be subject to separate agreements that govern their use. The Financial Institution and Central 1 have no liability for those other websites or their contents or the use of Third Party services. Links are provided for convenience only, and You assume all risk resulting from accessing or using such other websites or Third Party services.

b) We and Central 1 make no representation or warranty to You with respect to any services provided by a Third Party even though those services may be accessed by You through Direct Services or Our website;
c) You assume all risks associated with accessing or using the services of Third Parties;
d) We and Central 1 have no responsibility or liability to You in respect of services provided by a Third Party;
e) any dispute that relates to services provided by a Third Party is strictly between You and the Third Party, and You will raise no defence or claim against Us and Central 1; and
f) the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act and Regulations may apply to the services provided by Third Parties and that the Third Parties may, from time to time, adopt policies and procedures to address the reporting, record-keeping, client identification, and ongoing monitoring requirements of that legislation.

20. INDEMNITY – You agree to indemnify and hold Us and our service providers and Central 1 and all of their connected parties, including, without limitation, their respective agents, directors, officers, employees, affiliates, and licensees (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all liabilities and costs, including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Parties in connection with any claim or demand arising out of or connected to Your use of The Services. Depositors must assist and cooperate as fully as reasonably required by the Indemnified Parties in the defence of any such claim or demand. The disclaimers, liability exclusions, liability limitations, and indemnity provisions in this Agreement survive indefinitely after the termination of this Agreement and apply to the extent permitted by law. Without limiting the foregoing, You will indemnify and save the Indemnified Parties harmless from and against all liability, costs, loss, expenses, and damages, including direct, indirect, and consequential, incurred by the Indemnified Parties as a result of:

d) any Transaction that results in a negative balance in the Account; or
e) the consequences of any Transaction authorized by You.
This indemnity will enure to the benefit of the Indemnified Parties and will be binding upon You and Your heirs, executors, successors, and assigns and shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any act or omission prior to termination as gives rise to an indemnified claim, even if notice is received after termination.

a) solely for the Remote Deposit Service, the Financial Institution appoints You as its agent, to act on Our behalf in the creation and transmission of an Official Image to Us, and any other related duties that may be required by Us, all in accordance with the Rules and applicable legislation governing Instruments. In this context, transmission to and receipt by Us of the Official Image will have the same effect as if the Instrument was delivered to a branch of the Financial Institution for negotiation and clearing. You acknowledge and agree that this role as agent cannot be further delegated by You. Further, You acknowledge and agree that You shall be personally responsible and liable for:

i) compliance with this Agreement,
ii) maintaining adequate security over any Access Terminal used, the location of use of the Access Terminal, and any passwords so as to prevent use by others or interception of data transmitted,

Further, You agree to take all proper and necessary precautions to prevent any other person from purporting to create or transmit an Official Image to the credit of Your Account;

You shall not purport to create or transmit an Official Image of any item that does not qualify as an Eligible Bill or any item that is post-dated, stale-dated, received by You from anyone other than the drawer of that item, or that is in any way altered. If You have any suspicions or concerns about the authenticity, validity, negotiability, or chain of title to any item purporting to be an Eligible Bill, then You shall not seek to use the Remote Deposit Service for the negotiation or collection of that item, but will instead bring the original of that item to the counter of the branch of Account, identify the specific concerns to Us, and fully disclose all material facts known by You relating to that item and fully cooperate with any inquiry or investigation of the concerns;
e) under the Remote Deposit Service, Eligible Bills are restricted to those Instruments in Canadian dollars or United States dollars, drawn on a financial institution domiciled in Canada or the United States, as and if applicable, in Our sole discretion, from time to time.

Canadian dollar Instruments shall only be deposited to a Canadian dollar Account. United States dollar Instruments shall only be deposited to a United States dollar Account. If You use the Remote Deposit Service with an Instrument that does not qualify for this Service, We, at our discretion, may refuse to negotiate that Instrument or seek to collect on the instrument on Your behalf, as though it was a qualifying Instrument but without any liability on Our part for any delay, inability to collect or any issue arising that inhibits or prevents Us from collecting funds on the Instrument;
f) Official Images received through the Remote Deposit Service are subject to number and dollar limits that may change from time to time without prior notice to You;
g) any Transaction made on any day or at any time during which We are not open for business, may be credited to the Account on Our next business day;
h) once an Official Image of an Eligible Bill has been transmitted to Us through the Remote Deposit Service, no further Official Images of that Eligible Bill will be created or transmitted through the Remote Deposit Service (or any other similar service) unless You are requested to do so by Us in writing. Further, You agree to make no further use of the original of an imaged Eligible Bill, and shall safely retain possession of the original of the Eligible Bill without further negotiation, transfer, or delivery to any other person or holder. In addition to all obligations and responsibilities either set forth in this Agreement or elsewhere, You agree to indemnify and hold Us and Our service providers and Central 1 and all of their connected parties, including, without limitation, their respective agents, directors, officers, employees, affiliates, and licensees (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all liabilities and costs, including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Parties in connection with any claim or demand arising out of or connected to Your use of the Remote Deposit Service or duplicate negotiation of items that were at any time presented as Official Images of Eligible Bills. You must assist and cooperate as fully as reasonably required by the Indemnified Parties in the defence of any such claim or demand. The disclaimers, liability exclusions, liability limitations, and indemnity provisions in this Agreement survive indefinitely after the termination of this Agreement and apply to the extent permitted by law. Without limiting the foregoing, You will indemnify and save the Indemnified Parties harmless from and against all liability, costs, loss, expenses, and damages, including direct, indirect, and consequential incurred by the Indemnified Parties as a result of any breach of this Agreement, or any claims arising from or relating to misuse of Official Images or items purporting to be Official Images or negotiation of Eligible Bills where an Official Image has also been transmitted for collection;
i) on the transmission of an Official Image of an Eligible Bill to Us, You are responsible for immediately marking the face of the Eligible Bill with a blatant notation or mark that prevents renegotiation of the Eligible Bill and indicates that the Eligible Bill has been imaged and transmitted, taking care not to obliterate any material particulars of that Eligible Bill. (For example: This can be done by writing “void” or “paid” or placing a diagonal stroke across the face of the item with a pen, or brightly coloured highlighter.) For a period of 120 days after transmission of the Official Image to Us, or such shorter period as stipulated by Us in writing, You shall retain and produce to Us on written request the original of all imaged Eligible Bills. If You receive a written request to retain or produce, You will comply with the written request, and shall, if requested, produce, by delivering to Us, the original of all specified Eligible Bills within 5 business days of such request. If You fail to comply with the written request made pursuant to this provision, then We can place or continue a hold on or reverse any credit made to the Account in relation to those specified Eligible Bills, even if such creates an overdraft on the Account. If no written request is received within that time, then 120 calendar days after an Official Image has been transmitted to Us through the Remote Deposit Service or such shorter period as stipulated by Us in writing, provided that You have verified a credit to the Account that reconciles to the Official Image transmitted, You agree to immediately proceed with the destruction of the original of the Eligible Bill. Destruction methods include shredding, pulping, burning, or any other means that ensures that the original Instrument cannot be reused;
j) You are responsible for any and all costs associated with obtaining a replacement Instrument in the event that We request that You re-transmit an Official Image in accordance with h) above, and the original Instrument was destroyed in accordance with i) above or otherwise lost;
k) In Our sole discretion, electronic notices for purposes related to the Remote Deposit Service may be generated and sent to You at Your Contact Info after You use the Remote Deposit Service to transmit an Official Image, including to advise You of the receipt by Us of an Official Image. To receive such electronic notices, You must provide Your Contact Info required by Us;
l) an electronic notice, if any, sent in connection with the Remote Deposit Service is for information purposes only and is no guarantee that the Official Image will be accepted by Us or that the Account will be credited; and
m) We will not be liable for any cost, expense, loss, damage, or inconvenience of any nature or kind whatsoever arising as a result of use of the Remote Deposit Service, including, but not limited to, a delay in processing a Transaction or if We require You to obtain another Instrument.

32. ONLINE PAYMENT – If the Financial Institution, through The Services, makes the Online Payment Service available and You use the Online Payment Service, You acknowledge and agree that:
a) the Online Payment Service is only available in Canadian dollars from Participating Merchants;
b) Transactions for the Online Payment Service must be initiated by You through the appropriate online payment option available on the website of a Participating Merchant;
c) as soon as You authorize a Transaction through the Online Payment Service, and provided that there are available funds or credit, the amount of the Transaction will be withdrawn from the Account or a hold will be placed in the amount of the Transaction. We will hold the Transaction amount until the Participating Merchant successfully claims the Transaction or 30 minutes have elapsed, whichever comes first. We have no obligation to and will not pay interest on the Transaction amount. To the extent permitted at law, We are deemed to have a security interest in the Transaction amount from the time the Account is held until the Participating Merchant successfully claims the Transaction or the hold is removed;
d) Transactions sent and received through the Online Payment Service are subject to number and dollar limits that may change from time to time without prior notice to You;
e) We will not be responsible or liable for any losses or damages incurred as a result of funds held and limits set by Us, Interac Corp., a Participating Merchant, or a Participating Financial Institution;
f) the Financial Institution, the Participating Financial Institution, and Central 1 are entitled to pay the Transaction amount to anyone who claims to be the Participating Merchant and provides the payment authorization details within 30 minutes of the Transaction being authorized by You;
g) We will not be liable for losses or damages incurred as a result of a person other than the intended Participating Merchant receiving the Transaction amount;
h) if the Participating Merchant cancels, declines, or fails to claim a Transaction that You authorized, the Transaction amount will be reinstated after 30 minutes have elapsed since the Transaction was authorized. However, We cannot guarantee the date or time that the hold on the Transaction amount will be removed;
i) We, Central 1, or Interac Corp. may cancel a Transaction once it is authorized but before payment authorization details are sent to the Participating Merchant, if there is reason to believe that a mistake has occurred or that the Transaction is a product of unlawful or fraudulent activity;
j) once payment authorization details have been sent to the Participating Merchant, a Transaction cannot be cancelled. Payment authorization details are sent immediately after a Transaction is authorized by You;
k) all disputes, including requests for refunds, will be handled directly between You and the Participating Merchant without Our participation or any other party. A refund, if any, may be received through Direct Services and Central 1 for credit to the Account, or through such other method the Participating Merchant deems appropriate;
l) We may refuse, in Our sole discretion, to provide the Online Payment Service for You;
m) in Our sole discretion, electronic Notifications for purposes related to the Online Payment Service may be generated and sent to You at Your Contact Info after You authorize a Transaction, including to advise You that the Account has been debited. To receive an electronic Notification, You must provide Your Contact Info required by Us;
n) an electronic Notification, if any, sent in connection with the Online Payment Service is for information purposes only and is no guarantee that the Participating Merchant will successfully claim the Transaction or that You have successfully purchased the product or service from the Participating Merchant; and
o) We will not be liable for any cost, expense, loss, damage, or inconvenience of any nature or kind whatsoever arising as a result of using the Online Payment Services, including, but not limited to, a delay in processing a Transaction or a Participating Merchant failing to claim a Transaction.

33. VIEWING CHEQUE IMAGING – The Financial Institution may, in connection with Direct Services, permit You to view and print images of Instruments drawn on the Account and such images may be made available before We have determined whether the Instrument will be honoured or accepted. You acknowledge and agree that such images are made available by Us as a service to You and the provision of such images does not mean that the Transaction has been processed, nor does it in any way oblige Us to honour or accept the Instrument.

34. VIEWING DOCUMENTS – We may, in connection with Direct Services, permit You to view and print images of documents. You acknowledge and agree that such images are made available by Us as a service to You and the provision of such images does not in any way oblige Us to permit You to view and print images of documents.

35. MOBILE PAYMENT SERVICES – The Financial Institution may, in connection with Mobile Payment Services, permit You to perform electronic payments at a POS or ATM using a Mobile Device in conjunction with a Debit Card and PIN, or a virtual Debit Card and Passcode.

36. NATURE AND PURPOSE OF THE DEBIT CARD – You will use the Debit Card only for the purpose of obtaining services as agreed upon between You and Us. On thirty days’ written notice, We may add or remove from the types of uses that are permitted. The issuance of the Debit Card does not amount to a representation or a warranty that any particular type of service is available or shall be available at any time in the future. This Agreement, and the fact that You have the use of the Debit Card, does not give You any credit privileges or any entitlement to overdraw Your Account, except as may be provided by a separate agreement with Us.

37. WITHDRAWALS AND DEPOSITS – Unless You have made other arrangements with Us, amounts credited to Your Account as a result of deposits using the Debit Card will not be available for withdrawal until the deposits are verified and negotiable items such as cheques are paid. Withdrawals or transfers effected by the use of the Debit Card will be debited to Your Account at the time they are made. You will not deposit any coins or worthless, counterfeit or fraudulent items to Your Account, into any ATM, or using Your Mobile Device, and will pay to Us any damages, costs or losses suffered by Us as a result of any such deposit.

38. LIABILITY – CONSEQUENCES OF BREACH OF DEBIT CARD SECURITY
– Once You have first used the Debit Card, or virtual Debit Card as part of the Mobile Payment Service, You will be liable for all authorized and unauthorized uses of the Debit Card by any person up to Your established daily withdrawal limit (including funds accessible through a line of credit or overdraft privilege), for each day through until the expiry or cancellation of the Debit Card. However, in the event of an alteration of Your Account balance due to technical problems, card issuer errors and system malfunctions, You will be liable only to the extent of any benefit You have received and will be entitled to recover from the Credit Union any direct losses You may have suffered. The Financial Institution will have the discretion to relieve You from liability for the unauthorized use of Your Debit Card either through no fault of Your own or in a case where You have inadvertently contributed to the unauthorized use of Your Debit Card. You will cooperate in any investigation. We will not be liable to You for any action or failure to act of a Merchant or refusal by a Merchant to honour the Debit Card, whether or not such failure or refusal is the result of any error or malfunction of a device used to effect or authorize the use of the Debit Card for a POS Transaction. You understand that You must not use Your Debit Card, for any unlawful purpose, including the purchase of goods and services prohibited by local law applicable in Your jurisdiction.

39. LOST OR STOLEN DEBIT CARD – COMPROMISE OF PIN OR MOBILE DEVICE – If You become aware that the Debit Card or Your Mobile Device used in conjunction with the Mobile Payment Service is lost or stolen, or that the PIN or Passcode has been made accessible to another person, or if any other person’s biometric gets stored on Your Mobile Device, You will notify Us or Our agent immediately, whereupon the Debit Card will be cancelled, the Mobile Payment Service suspended or the PIN or Passcode changed. The instant such notice is actually received by Us or when We are satisfied that You became the victim of fraud, theft, or coercion by trickery, force or intimidation, Your liability for further use of the Debit Card or Mobile Payment Service will terminate, and You will be entitled to recover from Us any subsequent losses suffered by You through the use of the Debit Card or Mobile Payment Service.

40. PROCEDURES FOR ADDRESSING UNAUTHORIZED TRANSACTIONS AND OTHER TRANSACTION PROBLEMS – In the event of a problem with a Debit Card Transaction, or unauthorized Debit Card Transaction, other than a matter related to goods or services provided by Merchants, You will report the issue promptly to Us and we will investigate and respond to the issue on a timely basis. We will not unreasonably restrict You from the use of any funds subject to dispute, provided that it is reasonably evident that You did not contribute to the problem or unauthorized Transaction. We will respond to Your report of a problem or unauthorized Transaction within 10 business days and will indicate what reimbursement, if any, will be made for any loss incurred by me. Reimbursement will be made for losses from a problem or unauthorized use in this time frame provided that on the balance of probabilities, it is shown that You did not knowingly contribute to the problem or unauthorized Transaction and that You took reasonable steps to protect the confidentiality of Your PIN or Passcode. An extension of the 10-day limit may be necessary if We require You to provide a written statement or affidavit to aid its investigation.

41. DISPUTE RESOLUTION – If You are not satisfied with Our response, we will provide you, upon request, a written account of Our investigation and the reasons for Our findings. If You are still not satisfied, the issue will be referred to either a dispute resolution service or an external mediator, as agreed between You and Us. Neither We nor You will have the right to start court action until 30 days have passed since the issue was first raised with Us. Any dispute related to goods or services supplied in a POS Transaction is strictly between You and the Merchant, and You will raise no defense or claim against Us.

42. FEES – You acknowledge having been advised of, and will pay, the applicable fees now in effect for services available under this Agreement. New or amended fees for Mobile Payment Services will only become effective 30 days after publication by Us.

43. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTION – If You provide Instructions to conduct a Transaction that is denominated in a currency other than the currency of Your Account, and We accept the Instructions or Transaction, a conversion of currency is required. When a conversion of currency is made We may act as principal with You in converting the currency at rates established or determined by Us, affiliated parties, or through parties with whom We contract for foreign exchange services. In addition to applicable Service Charges, We, Our affiliates and contractors may earn revenue, commissions, or fees on currency conversions. You agree that such revenue, commissions or fees may be included in and charged as part of the exchange rate charged to You. The cost of currency conversion may not be known to You or precisely determinable in advance or until the amount of the Transaction is charged to Your Account. If currency conversions on this basis are not acceptable to You, You agree that You will not transact in foreign currency on Your Account, including withdrawing foreign currency from ATMs, POS Transactions in foreign currency, by use of Direct Services or Mobile Payment Services or delivering any Instrument or processing any Transaction to Us for deposit in a currency other than the currency of Your Account. We agree to convert currency at commercially reasonable rates, including revenue, commissions, and fees charged in respect of the conversion.
When You purchase foreign currency from Us, in a branch, the rate of exchange We charge You and any Service Charges You must pay will be disclosed or, alternatively, made available to You on request, at the time of the Transaction.
If You deposit Instruments or process a Transaction denominated in a currency other than the currency of Your Account, and We accept the Instrument or Transaction for deposit, You agree that We may convert the amount of the Instrument or Transaction to the currency of the Account using the Our sell rate for the currency of the Instrument or Transaction in effect at the time the conversion is processed. If We have not established a sell rate for the currency of the Instrument or Transaction in the currency of Your Account, You agree that We may:
a) convert the funds for provisional credit to the currency of the Account using a commercially reasonable rate of exchange available from Third Parties to purchase the currency of the Account using the currency of the Instrument accepted for deposit, or to purchase a currency for which We have a sell rate and then to convert that amount to the currency of the Account at Our sell rate for that currency; and
b) for such Transactions, charge You a conversion fee, up to a maximum of 5% of the value of the Transaction, in addition to any other Service Charges You must pay.

You also agree that if any Instrument or Transaction in a currency other than the currency of Your Account is accepted for deposit, such deposit is provisional and subject to reversal. If any such Transaction must be reversed, the process outlined above for conversion of Your deposits will apply to conversions undertaken for the return of funds, and You may be charged additional fees, commissions and Service Charges, as part of that conversion. The amount charged to Your Account for return of funds may be different than the amount of the deposit. The risk of loss on such Transactions shall be borne by You without any right of recourse against Us, and without any right to recover any fees charged to You in respect of the original deposit.
When You conduct Transactions with a Mobile Device or at an ATM, or through a POS, in a foreign currency We receive a debit instruction initiated by You which may be received by Us after processing through one or more international electronic networks that participate in the international payments system (the “Instruction”). The Instruction We receive may ask Us to pay a stipulated amount that may either be denominated in Canadian Dollars or in U.S. Dollars, regardless of the currency of Your Transaction with the Mobile Device, ATM or POS. The Transaction amount between You and Us will be the amount of Your Transaction, plus any fees by the owner of the ATM or POS, plus any revenue, commissions or fees of Third Parties that processed the Transaction or converted the foreign currency before it is received as a debit Instruction by Us. Foreign currency conversion completed by Third Parties occurs at rates that We do not set, and which may include revenue, commissions or fees of those Third Parties. More than one currency conversion may be completed by Third Parties before Your Instruction is received by Us. The amount ultimately charged to Your Account will at a minimum be the amount of the Instruction either in the currency of Your Account or U.S. Dollar value of the Instruction received by Us through the electronic network. If the Transaction is conducted on an Account denominated in Canadian Dollars and the Instruction is received in U.S. Dollars, the amount charged to Your Account will be the amount of the U.S. Dollar Instruction received by Us, converted to Canadian Dollars at Our sell rate for purchase of U.S. Dollars in effect at the time of the conversion. Our service charges and fees for Transactions on Your Account may be added to the Transaction in accordance with Our published service and fee brochure.
Currency conversions will be completed when and at rates in effect when the Transaction is processed by Us which may not be the same rate in effect when We complete Your Transaction.

44. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT – The Financial Institution remains the owner of the Debit Card and may restrict the use of the Debit Card, or may terminate this Agreement and Your right to use the Debit Card, at any time without notice.

You further acknowledge that You will properly maintain the security of Your Mobile Device used in conjunction with the Mobile Payment Service by protecting it with a secure access code or biometric, by knowing its location at all times, and by keeping it up to date with the latest operating system software, security patches and anti-virus and anti-spyware programs.
