3.                   Acceptance of these Terms; Amendment.  YOU AGREE THAT Your use of the Services constitutes your acceptance of THE Terms and Conditions of this agreement.  The terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Services, including any fees or charges for the Services, are subject to change by us from time to time in our sole discretion.  We will notify you of any material change via e-mail, online secure message, through our mobile application or website(s) or through another agreed channel of communication.  If an immediate change is necessary for security, regulatory or compliance purposes, prior written notice may not be provided to you.  Your continued use of the Services will indicate your acceptance of any such changes.

6.                   Limitations of Services.                 When using the Services, you may experience technical or other difficulties.  We will use commercially reasonable efforts to post alerts on our website or mobile application or otherwise notify you of these interruptions in the Services.  We cannot assume responsibility for any technical or other difficulties or any resulting damages that you may incur.  Some of the Services have qualification requirements, and we reserve the right to change the qualifications at any time without prior notice.  We reserve the right to change, suspend or discontinue the Services, or your use of the Services, in whole or in part, immediately and at any time without prior notice to you.

7.                   Hardware and Software.  In order to use the Services, you must obtain and maintain, at your expense, approved mobile devices and other compatible hardware and software as specified by the Bank from time to time.  Please refer to https://www.callawaybank.combank.com/acceptabledevices for current hardware and software specifications.  The Bank is not responsible for any third party software that you may need to access or use the Services that is not incorporated into or part of the Services.

8.                   Fees.  The Services are provided at no additional charge to you.  We reserve the right to begin charging you fees to use the Services at any time; provided, however, that we will notify you in accordance with the “Acceptance of these Terms” Section above.  You authorize the Bank to deduct any such fees from any account with Bank or its Affiliates in your name.

9.                   Eligible items.  When using the Services, you agree to scan and deposit only “checks” as that term is defined in Reg. CC.  Once the image of the check transmitted to the Bank is converted to an image replacement document that includes a machine readable MICR line for subsequent presentment and collection, it shall thereafter be deemed an “item” within the meaning of Articles 3 and 4 of the Uniform Commercial Code.

10.               Ineligible Items for Deposits.  You agree that you will not use the Services to scan and deposit any of the following types of checks or other items, which are considered ineligible items:

  • Any third party check (i.e., any item that is made payable to another party and then endorsed to you by such party). Any item payable to any person or entity other than the person or entity that owns the account, or is a joint owner on the account the item is being deposited into;
  • Any item drawn on your own account at the Bank;
  • Items payable jointly, unless deposited into an account in the name of all payees;
  • Any item that contains evidence of alteration to the information on the item, or which you know or suspect, or should know, are fraudulent or otherwise not authorized by the owner of the account on which the item is drawn;
  • Any check previously converted to a Substitute Check;
  • Any item issued to you by a financial institution in a foreign country;
  • Items drawn on a financial institution outside the United States;
  • Item(s) not payable in United State currency;
  • A “remotely created check”;
  • Any item that is “stale dated,” expired, or “post-dated”;
  • Items dated more than six (6) months prior to the date of deposit;
  • Items payable on “sight” or “payable through” drafts, as defined by Reg. CC;
  • Items with endorsements on the back other than those specified in this Agreement;
  • Any item that is “non-negotiable” (whether stamped in print or as a watermark);
  • Any item that has been re-deposited or returned such as “non-sufficient funds” or “refer to maker”; or
  • Has previously been submitted through this service or through an electronic deposit delivery service offered at any financial institution and or Bank (e.g., mobile, branch, consumer, merchant, and automated clearing house (“ACH”) check conversions);
  • Returned for any other reason;
  • Any item that is incomplete; or
  • Cash, savings bonds, money orders, or travelers cheques.

Your submission of any deposits of this nature are grounds for the immediate termination of the Services and an immediate reversal of the transaction or credit to your account.  A reversal or chargeback means the amount of the item(s) deposited will be removed from your account and will reduce your account balance.  The reversal may also result in a negative balance or overdraft on your account.  If an item is dishonored, you will receive an image of the original item or a Substitute Check as the chargeback item.

11.               Check Requirements.  You agree to endorse any item transmitted through the Services as “For Mobile Deposit Only” or as otherwise instructed by the Bank.  You agree to follow any and all other procedures and instructions for use of the Services as the Bank may establish from time to time.  The scanned image of the check transmitted to us using the Services must accurately and legibly provide, among other things, the following information: (1) your endorsement; (2) the information identifying the drawer and the paying bank that is preprinted on the check, including complete and accurate MICR information and the signatures; and (3) other information placed on the check prior to the time an image of the check is captured, such as any required identification written on the front of the check and any endorsements applied to the back of the check.  The image quality of the check must comply with the requirements established from time to time by the American National Standards Institute (“ANSI”), the Federal Reserve, including the requirements under Reg. CC, or any other Governmental Authority, clearing house or association.  You are responsible for the image quality of any image that you transmit.  We may reject your deposit if the image is not satisfactory.  The Bank’s receipt of the image does not guarantee we can accept the image.

12.               Receipt of Items.  Upon receipt of the digital image, we will review the image for acceptability. You understand and agree that receipt of an image does not occur until after we notify you of receipt of the image by a confirmation screen upon the conclusion of your transaction.  You understand that, in the event you receive a notification from us confirming receipt of an image, such notification does not mean that the image contains no errors or that the transaction is final.  We are not responsible for any image that we do not receive.  Following receipt of the image, we will process the image.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to accept or reject any item for remote deposit into your account and, in the event we reject an item for remote deposit, you understand and agree that you must deposit the original item.  You understand and agree that even if we do not initially reject an item you deposit through the Services, we may ask you to provide the original item, because, among other reasons, the paying bank deems the electronic image illegible.  Our failure to reject such an item shall not limit your liability to us.

You acknowledge that all credits received for deposits made pursuant to this Agreement are provisional, subject to verification and final settlement.  You are solely responsible for any item for which you have been given provisional credit, and any such item that is returned or rejected may be charged to your Account or any other account in your name.  Any item that we return to you will be returned in the form of an image or an image replacement document.

13.               Availability of Funds.  If you make a deposit before 5:00 PM Central Time on a Business Day, we will consider that day to be the day of your deposit.  However, if you make a deposit after 5:00 PM, Central Time on a Business Day or on a non-Business Day, we will consider that the deposit was made on the next Business Day we are open.  You understand that following our receipt and processing of the image, funds from the check will be made available for your withdrawal and/or use on the next Business Day after we receive your deposit; however, longer delays may apply.  Please refer to our Funds Availability Policy, as such may be changed from time to time, for complete information (available on our website at https://www.callawaybank.com/funds-availability-policy/).

14.               Retention and Disposal of Transmitted Items.  Upon your receipt of confirmation from the Bank that we have received the image of an item, you agree to prominently mark the item as “Electronically presented” or “RDC and [date]” to ensure that it is not re-presented for payment.

  • For any image which you have transmitted, you shall be responsible for preventing the transmission of another image of the item or presentment of the item by any other means.
  • You agree to securely store each original check that you deposit using the Services for a period of at least fifteen (15) days after transmission to us. After fifteen (15) days and no later than thirty (30) days after you transmit the original check, you will safely destroy the original check.
  • You understand and agree that you are responsible for any loss caused by your failure to secure or retain the original checks for the requisite period.
  • You agree never to re-present the check for deposit.
  • You will promptly provide any retained check, or a sufficient copy of the front and back of the check, to the Bank as requested to aid in the clearing and collection process, to resolve claims by third parties with respect to any check, or for our audit purposes. If you are unable to provide a sufficient copy of the front and back of the check, you will be liable for any unresolved claims by third parties.

15.               Deposit Limits.  We may establish limits on the dollar amount and/or number of items or deposits from time to time.  If you attempt to initiate a deposit in excess of these limits, we may reject your deposit.  If we permit you to make a deposit in excess of these limits, such deposit will still be subject to this Agreement, and we will not be obligated to allow such a deposit at other times.  The current deposit limit is up to $1,500 per transaction and the daily dollar limit is $1,500 per Business Day.  There is a daily limit of 5 items per as long as the respective dollar limits are not exceeded.  Daily and monthly deposit limits may vary for users of other services with the Bank.

16.               Presentment.  The Bank reserves the right to determine the manner in which items are cleared, presented for payment, and collected at its sole discretion.  In addition, the Bank may process the images you send electronically through other financial institutions, or it may create image replacement documents that will be processed through traditional check processing methods.

17.               Errors.  You agree to promptly notify the Bank of any suspected errors regarding items deposited through the Services, and in no event later than sixty (60) days after the applicable account statement is sent. Unless you notify the Bank within such sixty (60) day period, such statement regarding all deposits made through the Services will be deemed correct, and we are not required to make any adjustments in connection with such alleged error.

18.               Errors in Transmission; Impaired or Disrupted Services.  By using the Services, you accept the risk that an item may be intercepted or misdirected during transmission.  The Bank bears no liability to you or others for any such intercepted or misdirected items or information disclosed through such errors.

IN ADDITION, THE BANK DOES NOT AND CANNOT CONTROL THE FLOW OF DATA TO OR FROM THE BANK’S NETWORK AND OTHER PORTIONS OF THE INTERNET.  SUCH FLOW DEPENDS IN LARGE PART ON THE PERFORMANCE OF INTERNET SERVICES PROVIDED OR CONTROLLED BY THIRD PARTIES.  ACTIONS OR INACTIONS OF SUCH THIRD PARTIES CAN IMPAIR OR DISRUPT YOUR CONNECTIONS TO THE INTERNET.  THE BANK CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT SUCH EVENTS WILL NOT OCCUR.  ACCORDINGLY, THE BANK DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LIABILITY RESULTING FROM OR RELATED TO SUCH EVENTS AND IN NO EVENT SHALL THE BANK BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT) THAT ARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE PUBLIC INTERNET INFRASTRUCTURE, YOUR ABILITY TO CONNECT TO THE INTERNET, OR THE BANK’S ABILITY TO CONNECT ON THE INTERNET ON YOUR BEHALF.

19.               Deposits when Services unavailable.  In the event that the Services are unavailable due to impaired and/or disrupted Services, you agree to make deposits through other channels that we offer, such as at one of the Bank’s physical branches or by mail.

20.               User Warranties.  You make the following warranties, representations and covenants with respect to your use of the Services and each image of an original check you transmit to us using the Services:

  • Each image of a check transmitted to us is a true and accurate rendition of the front and back of the original check, without any alteration, and the drawer of the check has no defense against payment of the check.
  • The amount, the payee, signature(s), and endorsement(s) on the original check are legible, genuine, and accurate.
