HOME CU TERMS-OF-USE AGREEMENT
This document explains the terms and conditions for using our Internet Home Banking Service and provides certain disclosures and information to you concerning the service. Each of your accounts at Oil Country Federal Credit Union is also governed by the applicable account disclosure/agreement and Truth In Savings disclosure you received when you opened your account.
How To Access Your Account:
To access your accounts through our Internet Home Banking service, you must have your account number and an Internet Home Banking password. This information is requested when you enter our home banking pages. The password that is used to gain access to your information should be kept confidential, just as you would keep other PIN numbers and security codes confidential. For your protection we recommend that you change your home banking access password regularly. It is recommended that you memorize this password and do not write it down. You are responsible for keeping your password, account numbers and other account data confidential. If you believe that your password may have been lost or stolen, or that someone has transferred or may transfer money between your accounts without your permission, notify Oil Country Federal Credit Union at once at (814) 827-4605. You cannot use E-mail to initiate transactions, change information or inquire on your account(s). We will not respond to these types of requests via E-mail, since we cannot be certain we are corresponding with you. Please use the appropriate functions within our Internet Home Banking service, call (814) 827-4605 or visit the credit union for these functions. To get an initial password for the Internet Home Banking service, visit the credit union office or call us at (814) 827-4605.
Fees:
There is $10.00 sign-up fee and a $10.00 annual usage fee, which will be deducted from your account about July 1st. We reserve the right to impose or change the fee amount, if necessary, after providing 30 days notice to all users at the home banking login page and/or e-mail address.
Your internet service provider (ISP) probably charges you a fee to access the internet via its server. We have no control over ISP related fees.
Available Services and Limitations:
The following functions may be performed by members through the service:
Transfers: You may transfer funds between your share, draft, or loan accounts as the account agreements may allow Transfers done through the service DO NOT immediately charge or credit your account. TRANSFERS WILL BE EFFECTIVE BY THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY AFTER THE DATE OF SUCH TRANSACTION, but may occur sooner. You can transfer from one account number to a different account number, only if you have completed the required forms and all account owners for both accounts have signed it.
Account Balances: You may view your share, draft, and loan account balances. Because the main credit union computer system is not connected to the Internet, it is possible that some transactions that affect these balances, and have been processed by the credit union, are not yet included in the balance at the time you view it. In addition, there may be drafts written against your balance, or other electronic items such as debit card transactions, that have not yet been presented to the credit union for payment.
Transaction history: You may view the transaction history for any loan, draft, or share account. Because the main credit union computer system is not connected to the Internet, it is possible that some transactions are not yet included in the history at the time you view it, even though they may have been processed by the credit union. The main credit union computer system is always the official record of account history. The Internet Home Banking service may be updated several times per day for your convenience in viewing account activity.
Password Changes: If you are an Internet Home Banking user, you may change your password at any time from within the home banking section. For your protection we recommend that you change your home-banking password regularly.
Check orders: You may reorder checks and/or view and order new check styles available through the credit union. We will not process check order requests if you do not have a checking account at the credit union. Check search: You may search for drafts that have cleared your account. You may also list clearings by date cleared or by check number. The oldest check available will vary, but dates will go back, at a minimum, to your last regular statement date.
Additional Services: From time to time, we will announce additional services, which are available through our Internet Home Banking. Your use of these services will constitute acceptance of the terms and conditions presented at the time they are announced. We reserve the right to limit access or cancel on-line access at any time.
Business Day:
Our business days are Monday through Friday. Holidays are not included.
Operating Systems and Security:
Our Internet home banking site is designed to operate using world wide web technologies and protocols, which are adaptable to a wide range of systems. The home banking section uses SSL encryption and requires a browser with a current (unexpired) Thawte Root CA Security Certificate. Some older browsers may not be able to connect to the site without first updating the browser security certificate. Our server uses 40 to 128 bit encryptions, depending on the user’s browser.
We use cookies to help us administer the home banking section. Some browsers allow you to reject cookies from servers. If you don't allow us to set a cookie upon entering the site, you will not be able to log in. The cookie we set contains information we need for security, and allows us to 'time out' your authority to view information. We place the cookie with instructions that it can only be sent to a server in our home-banking domain. A cookie cannot be used to extract data from your PC. We do not store your Access Code, User Id or Password in your cookie. The cookie we set will 'time out' your access authority to our home banking section. Until it times out, you can come back to our home banking without logging in. After the time out period, you will need to log in again. Remember that most browsers will let you use a BACK button to view previously visited documents, even if your viewing authority has expired. For this reason, the only way to keep others from viewing your account balance is to exit the browser when you are finished with your session. This is especially important if you are using a public or shared computer.
Privacy:
Our home banking database is a private system operated for the exclusive use of our members. We use SSL encryption and digital server authentication to insure the privacy of your information when sending data between our home banking server and your PC. The server logs all home banking logins. For authenticated members who use home banking, we collect and store certain information such as how often you visit the home banking section, dates and times of visits and which pages are being used. We use this information for internal review and product evaluation only. We never sell, transfer or trade this information unless we are compelled to do so by law. We may gather and store additional information available to us on failed login attempts and other activity we consider a threat to our system. In these cases, we will share this information with other companies, agencies and law enforcement officials as we see fit.
Liability for Unauthorized Transfers:
Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your password has been lost or stolen and immediately change your password from within the home banking section. Calling is the best way to notify us immediately. You could lose all the money in your account. If you tell us within two (2) business days, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your password without your permission. If you do NOT tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your password, and we
can prove we could have stopped someone from using your password without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.
Also, if your statement shows transfers that you did not make, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after the statement was mailed to you, you may not get back any money you lost after the sixty (60) days, if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money if you had told us in time. If a good reason kept you from telling us, we may extend the time periods. If you believe your password has been lost or stolen or that someone has transferred or may transfer money from your account without your permission, call: (814) 827-4605 or write to: Oil Country Federal Credit Union, 1050 E. Spring St., Titusville,Pa. 16354.
Statements:
All transactions generated by you through our home banking service and any home banking fees will appear on your monthly or quarterly statement.
Our Liability:
If we do not complete a transfer to or from your account on time or in the correct amount according to our agreement/disclosure with you, we will be liable for your losses or damages. However, there are some exceptions. We will not be liable, for instance: If, through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money in your account to make the transfer; or, if the home banking equipment or software was not working properly and you knew about the breakdown when you started the transfer; If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood) prevent the transfer despite reasonable precautions that we have taken. We shall not be responsible for any other loss, damage, or injury whether caused by the equipment, software, and/or home banking service, nor shall we be responsible for any direct, indirect, special, or consequential damages
arising in any way out of the installation, use, or maintenance of your equipment, software, and/or service, except where the law requires a different standard. We do not make any warranties concerning the equipment, the software, or any part thereof, including, without limitations, any warranties of fitness for a particular purpose or warranties of merchantability.
Errors and Questions:
In case of error or questions about your electronic transfers, telephone us at (814) 827-4605 or write us at 1050 E. Spring St., Titusville, Pa.16354 as soon as you can. We must hear from you no later than sixty (60) days after you learn of the error. You will need to tell us:
Your name and account number;
Why you believe there is an error and the dollar amount involved;
Approximately when the error took place.
If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your complaint or question in writing within ten (10) business days. We will tell you the results of our investigation within ten (10) business days and correct any error promptly.
If we need more time, we may take up to forty-five (45) days to investigate the complaint, but you will have the use of the funds in question after the ten (10) business days. If we ask you to put your complaint or question in writing and we do not receive it within ten (10) business days, we may not credit your account during the investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation within three (3) business days after we finish our investigation. You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation. If you need more information about our error resolution procedures, call us at the telephone number shown above. All transactions are legally binding and any disagreements will be handled according to the laws of the state of Pennsylvania.
I have read the above disclosure and agree to follow the recommended policies and procedures.
