Mobile Deposit Disclosure
By clicking the “I Accept” button when you register for the Mobile Deposit Service or by using the Mobile Deposit Service, you agree to the terms and conditions of this Disclosure, as they 
may be amended from time to time.

MOBILE DEPOSIT SERVICE FOR CONSUMERS

1. Mobile Deposit Service.  This Mobile Deposit Service Disclosure (the “Disclosure”) contains the terms and conditions governing the use of First Federal Savings’ (“Bank”, “we”, “our” or “us”) Mobile Deposit Service (the “Mobile Deposit”).  Mobile Deposit is designed to allow you to make deposits of paper checks (“Original Checks”) to the Personal Deposit Account(s) or Small Business Deposit Accounts (or such other deposit account(s) as we may permit from time to time) that you designate during the enrollment process (“Mobile Deposit Account(s)”) from home or other remote locations using your eligible camera-enabled Mobile Device to capture images of the Original Checks and then transmit the digital images and associated deposit information (“Images”) to us or our Processor with your Mobile Device. This Disclosure supplements the terms of your Account Agreements, the terms and conditions of your Internet Banking Service Agreement and Disclosure (the “Internet Banking Agreement”), each as may be amended from time to time. The terms and conditions of your Account Agreements and the Internet Banking Agreement are incorporated by reference and made a part of this Disclosure.  In the event of a conflict between the Account Agreements or the Internet Banking Agreement and this Disclosure as it regards Mobile Deposit, the terms and conditions of this Disclosure shall control.  Any capitalized terms not defined in this Disclosure shall have the meaning provided in the Internet Banking Agreement.  When we use the terms “you” or “your” in this disclosure, it means a First Federal Savings customer that has enrolled for use of Mobile Deposit.

2. Eligibility & Enrollment.  In order to use Mobile Deposit, you must: (a) be enrolled in Internet Banking, which includes Mobile Banking; and (b) have an eligible Mobile Device. Only certain camera-enabled Mobile Devices may be used with Mobile Deposit, as specified by us from time to time. It is your responsibility to provide us with accurate, complete and current information about you and your Mobile Device (including your telephone number, the telecommunications carrier, and your email address), and to notify us immediately if any of this information changes or if service to your Mobile Device is terminated.  We reserve the right to refuse or cancel your registration for Mobile Deposit if we cannot verify information about you and/or your Mobile Device and accordingly you agree to all of the terms and conditions set forth in this Disclosure with respect to Mobile Deposit.

3. Acceptance of Terms.  By using or continuing to use Mobile Deposit, you agree to the terms of this Disclosure, and any changes to such terms and conditions that apply to your use of Mobile Deposit, as of the effective date of such changes or amendments. If you do not agree with these terms (as may be amended from time to time), you may not use Mobile Deposit. Your agreement will be deemed effective for as long as you use Mobile Deposit.   

4. Charges for Mobile Deposit.  You agree to pay for any charges we may assess for Mobile Deposit in accordance with our current Fee Schedule, as may be amended from time to time, or you may elect to terminate use of Mobile Deposit.  We will advise you of any fee changes prior to implementing them to the extent and as required by applicable law. You authorize us to automatically charge the Mobile Deposit Account into which the deposit was made for all such fees incurred in connection with Mobile Deposit. In the future, we may add to or enhance the features of Mobile Deposit.  By using such added or enhanced features, you agree to pay for them in accordance with our Fee Schedule.

5. Deposit Limits.  We may establish or change daily and/or monthly limits on the dollar amount and/or number of items or deposits from time to time in our sole discretion. You may contact us at 740-345-3494 for more information about the specific limits. If we permit you to make a deposit in excess of these limits, such deposit will still be subject to the terms of this Disclosure, and we will not be obligated to allow such a deposit at other times. 
Each applicable limit is a per authorized user or signer limit. For example, if you have two authorized users or signers (e.g., joint owners of a Mobile Deposit Account) and each of the two authorized users or signers downloads the Mobile App, each authorized user or signer may make deposits up the applicable limits. The standard limits may be adjusted on a per customer basis as agreed to by Bank in its sole and exclusive discretion.

6. Eligible Items.  You hereby agree that you will only scan and deposit a check(s) as that term is defined in Federal Reserve Board Regulation CC (“Reg CC”).  You agree that the Image of the check that is transmitted to the Bank (each such check and other item is referred to in this Addendum as a “Check” and, if more than one, “Checks”) shall be deemed an “item” within the meaning of Article 4 of the Uniform Commercial Code (1990 Official Text).  You also acknowledge and agree that deposits that you make using Mobile Deposit are not “Electronic Fund Transfers” as that term is defined in Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s Regulation E. You further agree that you will not use Mobile Deposit to deposit any Checks or other items (considered ineligible or “Prohibited Checks”) that: 

  • are payable to any person or entity other than yourself or otherwise to the owner of the Mobile Deposit Account that the item is being deposited into (i.e., a third-party check); 
  • are prohibited by our then-current procedures pertaining to Mobile Deposit or are in violation of any law, rule or regulation; 
  • you know or suspect, or should know or suspect, are altered on the front of the item, fraudulent or otherwise not authorized by the owner of the account on which the Checks are drawn;
  • have been previously endorsed by a bank and are either “substitute checks” (as defined in Reg CC or other applicable federal law or regulation) or “image replacement documents” that purport to be substitute checks unless we expressly agree otherwise;
  • are payable jointly, unless deposited into a deposit account in the name of all payees;
  • are remotely created checks, as defined in Reg CC, or are remotely created payment orders; 
  • are not payable in United States currency;
  • are dated more than six (6) months prior to the date of deposit or contain a date in the future;
  • have any endorsement on the back other than that specified in this Disclosure;
  • have previously been submitted through Mobile Deposit or through a remote deposit service offered at any other financial institution; and are not acceptable to us for deposit into a deposit account as provided in the Account Agreement.

If you deposit a Prohibited Check, as described above, you agree to indemnify and reimburse us for, and hold us harmless from and against, any and all losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that we may incur associated with any warrant, indemnity or other claim related thereto. 

7. Requirements.  You understand that you must, and hereby agree, at your sole cost and expense, to use a Mobile Device that meets all technical requirements for the proper delivery of Mobile Deposit and that fulfills your obligation to obtain and maintain secure access to the Internet. You understand and agree you may also incur, and shall pay, any and all expenses related to the use of Mobile Deposit, including, but not limited to, telephone service or Internet service charges. You are solely responsible for the payment of any and all costs and expenses associated with meeting and maintaining all technical requirements and additional items necessary for the proper use of Mobile Deposit. You understand and agree that you are solely responsible for the operation, maintenance and updating of all equipment, software and services used in connection with Mobile Deposit and the cost thereof, and you hereby agree that you will perform, or cause to be performed, all vendor recommended maintenance, repairs, upgrades and replacements. We are not responsible for, and you hereby release us from, any and all claims or damages resulting from, or related to, any computer virus or related problems that may be associated with using electronic mail or the Internet. We are not responsible for, and you hereby release us from, any and all claims or damages resulting from, or related to, defects in or malfunctions of your Mobile Device and/or any associated hardware or software, or failures of or interruptions in any electrical, telephone or Internet services. We hereby advise you, and you hereby agree to scan your Mobile Device and/or any associated hardware or software on a regular basis using a reliable virus detection product in order to detect and remove viruses.
Each Image must provide all information on the front and back of the Original Check at the time presented to you by the drawer, including, but not limited to, information about the drawer and the paying bank that is preprinted on the Original Check, MICR information, signature(s), any required identification written on the front of the Original Check and any endorsements applied to the back of the Original Check.  The image quality must meet the standards established by the American National Standards Institute, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, and any other regulatory agency, clearing house or association. Not all Mobile Devices that are camera enabled will produce satisfactory images for Mobile Deposit. If the image produced by your Mobile Device is not satisfactory, the Image for remote deposit may be rejected as described below in Section 8.
Endorsements must be made on the back of the Check and must include your signature and “FOR MOBILE DEPOSIT ONLY,” or as otherwise specified by us from time to time.  Any loss we incur from a delay, processing error or any other action resulting from an irregular endorsement or other markings by you will be your responsibility.
A Check payable to two payees must be endorsed by both payees.  If the Check is payable to you or your joint owner, either of you can endorse it.  If the Check is made payable to you and your joint owner, both of you must endorse the Check and it must be deposited into a Mobile Deposit Account owned by both of you.

8. Receipt of Deposit.  All Images processed for remote deposit through Mobile Deposit will be treated as “deposits” under the Account Agreement and the Internet Banking Agreement. Once submitted, you will receive an email indicating that your remote deposit was received. After processing, you will receive another email that will indicate one of the following statuses: (1) the deposit was ACCEPTED as presented; (2) the deposit was ACCEPTED and adjusted; or (3) the deposit was REJECTED. You may also check on the status of a deposit made through Mobile Deposit by selecting “View Deposit History” on the “Deposit a Check” tab within Mobile Deposit. Notwithstanding the fact that we have accepted a Mobile Deposit for processing, any credit made to your Mobile Deposit Account shall be provisional as further described in Section 10 below, and you shall remain liable to us for any errors, inaccuracies, breach of warranties and any other loss sustained by, or claim made against us.
We shall have no liability to you for the rejection of a deposit through Mobile Deposit or the Images or other information contained therein or for our failure to notify you of such rejection.  We are not responsible for any Image that we do not receive.
Following receipt, we may process the Image by preparing a “substitute check” or clearing the item as an Image.
We reserve the right, at our sole and absolute discretion, to reject any Image for remote deposit into your Mobile Deposit Account.  We will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you of rejected Images by phone, email or other means.

9. Retention of Original Checks.  You must securely store the Original Check for forty-five (45) Calendar Days after transmission to us and make the Original Check accessible to us at our request.  Upon our request from time to time, you will deliver to us within two (2) Business Days, at your expense, the requested Original Check in your possession. If not provided in a timely manner, such amount will be reversed from your Mobile Deposit Account. Promptly after such period expires, you must destroy the Original Check by first marking it “VOID” and then destroying it by cross-cut shredding or another commercially acceptable means of destruction. After destruction of an Original Check, the Image will be the sole evidence of the Original Check.
You agree that you will never deposit the Original Check or present the Original Check to us or anyone else for payment. You understand that you are responsible if anyone is asked to make a payment based on an Original Check that has already been paid.

10. Returned Deposits.  Any credit to your Mobile Deposit Account for Checks deposited using Mobile Deposit is Provisional.  As used herein, “Provisional” means that the credit for the deposit is made to your Mobile Deposit Account subject to final payment of the Checks and subject to the terms of the Account Agreement.  If Original Checks deposited through Mobile Deposit are dishonored, rejected or otherwise returned unpaid by the drawee bank, or are rejected or returned by a clearing agent or collecting bank, for any reason, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the quality of the Image, you agree that an Original Check will not be returned to you, but that we may charge back the amount of the Original Check and provide you with an Image of the Original Check, a paper reproduction of the Original Check or a substitute check. You will reimburse us for all loss, cost, damage or expense caused by or relating to the processing of the returned item. Without our approval, you shall not attempt to deposit or otherwise negotiate an Original Check if it has been charged back to you.
We may set-off against any of your Personal Deposit Accounts to obtain payment for any item that has been rejected or returned, for any adjustment related to such item or for any warranty claim related to such item, whether or not the rejection, return, adjustment or warranty claim was made timely.

11. Your Warranties.  You make the following warranties and representations with respect to each Image:

  • Each Image 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, payee(s), signature(s), and endorsement(s) on the Image and on the Original Check are legible, genuine, and accurate.
  • You will not deposit or otherwise endorse to a third party the Original Check and no person will receive a transfer, presentment, or return of, or otherwise be charged for, the Original Check or a paper or electronic representation of the Original Check such that the person will be asked to make payment based on an item that has already been paid.
  • There are no other duplicate Images of the Original Check.
  • The Original Check was authorized by the drawer in the amount stated on the Original Check and to the payee(s) stated on the Original Check.
  • You are authorized to enforce and obtain payment of the Original Check.
  • You have possession of the Original Check and no party will submit the Original Check for payment.

With respect to each Image, you make to us all representations and warranties that we make or are deemed to make to any party pursuant to law, regulation or clearinghouse rule. You agree that files and Images transmitted to us will contain no viruses or any other disabling features that may have an adverse impact on our network, data, or related systems.

12. Compliance with Law.  You will use Mobile Deposit for lawful purposes and in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations. You agree to comply with all existing and future operating procedures used by us for processing of transactions.  You further agree to comply with, and be bound by, all applicable state or federal laws, rules, regulations, orders, guidelines, operating circulars and pronouncements, affecting Checks and items, including, but not limited to, all rules and procedural guidelines established by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve and any clearinghouse or other organization in which we are a member or to which rules we have agreed to be bound.  These procedures, rules, and regulations (collectively the “Rules”) and laws are incorporated herein by reference.  In the event of conflict between the terms of this Addendum and the Rules, the Rules will control.

13. Mobile Deposit Unavailability.  Mobile Deposit may be unavailable temporarily due to system maintenance or technical difficulties, including those of the Internet service provider, cellular service provider and Internet software.  If Mobile Deposit is unavailable, you may deposit Original Checks at our branches or by mailing the Original Check to:

You agree that First Federal Savings may respond to you by email with regard to any claim of unauthorized electronic fund transfer related to Internet Banking. Any such electronic mail sent to you by First Federal Savings shall be considered received within three (3) business days of the date sent by First Federal Savings.

You may add additional users to your Internet Banking profile and provide each with a separate User Name and Password. You may authorize other users and control their scope of activities by designating user levels, access levels, and account settings. For each user, you can designate which account(s) the user will have access to. You may also place limits on the types of transactions for each account to which the user is granted access. You may also designate the user level either as "user" or "Administrator." An Administrator is a user who is able to create additional users and to edit and monitor other users. An Administrator is not eligible to enroll in other online business services or grant levels of access to other users that have not been granted to the Administrator.

For each account linked to your Internet Banking, you can designate each user's access level and account settings. Access Level means either Transactional Access, View Access or No Access. You agree that by granting Transactional Access to an account you will be allowing a user to transfer funds, make payments, perform account maintenance, and view account balances and activity on the account, subject to the selected account or general service settings. You agree that users have Transactional Access unless otherwise specified by you or an Administrator. View Access allows a user to only view account balances and activity, subject to the selected account or general service settings.

Account settings are levels of access and transactional limits that you and/or an Administrator may select for each user. In addition to specifying Transactional Access, View Access, or No Access for a user of an account, you can also specify certain other account settings, including transaction limitations as provided on our web site. You may also designate certain "general service settings," which are global settings that may affect more than one account. These include Transactional Access Bill Pay.  There are additional controls available for the Bill Pay option. If you select to enable Transactional Access Bill Pay for a user, that user will automatically have Transactional Access to all the accounts that you have set up for Bill Pay, and the user will be able to pay bills using the Bill Pay feature and set up new payees. You may, however, designate limited access for a user of Bill pay, which will permit the user to have Transactional Access for specific accounts and existing payees only. For the Bill Pay functionality, you may limit a user to use only certain specified accounts. In addition to designating general service settings, you can also provide additional account settings on certain eligible accounts, such as allowing a user to view statements, view check images or make transfers for the selected accounts. Any user that you have allowed to make transfers will be able to see the last name and last 4 digits of account number for all transfer recipients created by you, an Administrator or any other user, even those that the user did not initiate.

You are responsible for, and we will have no liability to you, for any payments, transfers, or other transactions performed on any account linked to this service that are made by a designated user or Administrator using the User Names an Passwords you or an Administrator assign. Our liability is limited to unauthorized use of User Names and Passwords for payments,transfers, or other transactions performed on any account linked to this service that occur after you have notified us of possible unauthorized use and we have had a reasonable opportunity to act on that notice.

You are responsible to remove any users you or your Administrator has given access authority at any and all levels.
