Online Banking Service Agreement and Disclosure
This Agreement is the contract which covers your and our rights and responsibilities concerning Online Banking Services offered to you by Wauna Federal Credit Union. In this Agreement, the words "you" and "yours" mean those who request and use Online Banking, any joint owners of accounts accessed under this Agreement or any authorized users. The words "we", "us", and "our" mean the Credit Union. The word "account" means any one or more deposit accounts you have with the Credit Union.

By signing the Account Card or requesting and using the Online Banking service (It's Me 24/7), each of you, jointly and severally, agree to the terms and conditions in this Agreement, and any amendments.

Online Banking electronic funds transfers ("EFTs") are electronically initiated transfers of money through the Internet, involving your accounts at the Credit Union.

1. Online Banking Service:

a. Account Access. You may use your personal computer to access your accounts. You must use your member number along with your security code to access your accounts. The Online Banking service is accessible seven (7) days a week, 24 hours a day. You will need a personal computer, a web browser (such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer), and access to the Internet (World Wide Web). The online address for the Online Banking service is www.waunafcu.org and you must use your access code along with your member number to access your accounts. You are responsible for the installation, maintenance and operation of your computer and modem. The Credit Union will not be responsible for any errors or failures involving any telephone service, Internet Service Provider (ISP), your software installation, or your computer.

b. Types of Transactions: At the present time, you may use the Online Banking service to:

    1) Transfer funds between your Savings, Checking, Money Market, and loan accounts, including loan payments.
    2) Review account balance, transaction history, check clearings, direct deposit and tax information for any of your accounts.
    3) Review information on your loan account including payoff amounts, due dates, finance charges, interest rate, and balance information.
    4) Make a check stop payment request.
    5) Download account information into Quicken, Money, and Excel.
    6) Communicate with the Credit Union using the electronic mail (E-mail) feature.
    7) Transactions involving your deposit accounts will be subject to the terms of your Membership and Account Agreement and transactions involving a line of credit account will be subject to your Loan Agreement and Disclosures, as applicable.
2. Service Limitations. The following limitations on the availability and number and dollar amount of transactions may apply in using the services listed above:

    1) Transfers. You may make funds transfers to your accounts or other accounts you authorize as often as you like. However, transfers from a savings or Money Market account will be limited to a total of six (6) in any one month. You may transfer or withdraw up to the available balance in your account or available credit line at the time of the transfer, except as limited under other agreements. The Credit Union reserves the right to refuse any transaction that would draw upon insufficient or unavailable funds, lower an account balance below a required balance, or otherwise require us to increase our required reserve on the account.
    2) Account Information. The account balance and transaction history information may be limited to recent account information. The availability of funds for transfer or withdrawal may be limited due to the processing time for ATM transactions and our Funds Availability Policy.
    3) E-Mail. You may use the e-mail to send messages to us. E-mail may not, however, be used to initiate a transfer on your account or a stop payment request. The Credit Union may not immediately receive E-mail communications that you send and the Credit Union will not take action based on E-mail requests until the Credit Union actually receives your message and has a reasonable opportunity to act. If you need to contact the Credit Union immediately regarding an unauthorized transaction or stop payment request, you may call the Credit Union at the telephone number set forth in Section 4.
3. Security of Access Code. The personal password (Access Code) issued to you is for your security purposes. The access code is confidential and should not be disclosed to third parties or recorded. You are responsible for safekeeping your access code. You agree not to disclose or otherwise make your access code available to anyone not authorized to sign on your accounts. If you authorize anyone to have or use your access code, you understand that person may use the Online Banking service to review all of your account information and make account transactions. Therefore, we are entitled to act on transaction instructions received using your access code and you agree that the use of your access code will have the same effect as your signature authorizing transactions.

If you authorize anyone to use your access code in any manner, that authority will be considered unlimited in amount and manner until you specifically revoke such authority by notifying the Credit Union and changing your access code immediately. You are responsible for any transactions made by such persons until you notify us that transactions and access by that person are no longer authorized and your access code is changed. If you fail to maintain or change the security of these access codes and the Credit Union suffers a loss, we may terminate your Online Banking service and account services immediately.

4. Liability for Unauthorized Access. You are responsible for all transfers you authorize under this Agreement. If you permit other persons to use the Online Banking service or your access code, you are responsible for any transactions they authorize or conduct on any of your accounts. However, tell us at once if you believe anyone has used your access code or accessed your accounts without your authority. Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. If you tell us within two (2) business days, you can lose no more than $50 if someone accessed your account without your permission. If you do not tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of the unauthorized use of your account or access code, and we can prove that we could have stopped someone from accessing your account without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.

Also if your statement shows Online Banking (Internet) 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 be liable for the full amount of the loss, if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from making the transfers if you had told us in time. If a good reason (such as a hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods.

If you believe that someone has used your Access Code or has transferred or may transfer money from your account without your permission, phone the Credit Union at:

(503) 728-4321 or 1 (800) 773-3236

or write:

5. Business Days. Our business days are Monday through Friday. Holidays are not included.

6. Fees and Charges. Currently, there are no charges for Online Banking services. From time to time, charges assessed may be changed. We will notify you of any changes as required by law.

7. Transaction/Transfer Documentation. Transfers and withdrawals transacted through Online Banking will be recorded on your periodic statement. You will receive a statement monthly unless there is no transaction in a particular month. In any case, you will receive a statement at least quarterly.

8. Account Information Disclosure. We will maintain the confidentiality and privacy of your account information in accordance with our privacy policy as stated on our website at: www.waunafcu.org. However, we will disclose information to third parties about your account or the transfers you make in the following limited circumstances:

    a. As necessary to complete transfers;
    b. To verify the existence of sufficient funds to cover specific transactions upon the request of a payee or a third party, such as a credit bureau or merchant;
    c. To comply with government agency or court orders;
    d. If you give us written permission.
9. Credit Union Liability for Failure to Make Transfers. If we do not complete a transfer to or from your account on time or in the correct amount according to our agreement with you and the instructions you transmit, we will be liable for your actual losses or damages not to exceed the amount of the transaction. However, there are some exceptions. We will not be liable, for instance:
    a. If, through no fault of ours, you do not have adequate funds in your account to complete a transaction, your account is closed, or the transaction amount would exceed your credit limit on your line of credit.
    b. If you used the wrong access code or you have not properly followed any applicable computer or Credit Union user instructions for making transfer.
    c. If your computer fails or malfunctions or Online Banking was not properly working and such problem should have been apparent when you attempted such transactions.
    d. If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire, flood, telecommunication outages, postal strikes, equipment or power failure) prevent making the transaction.
    e. If the funds in your account are subject to an administrative hold, legal process or other claim.
    f. If you have not given the Credit Union complete, correct and current instructions so that the Credit Union can process a transfer.
    g. If the error was caused by a system beyond the Credit Union's control such as a telecommunications system, an Internet service provider, any computer virus, or problems related to software not provided by the Credit Union.
    h. If there are other exceptions as established by the Credit Union from time to time.
10. Termination of Online Banking Services. You agree that we may terminate this Agreement and your use of Online Banking services if you or any authorized user of your account or access code breach this or any other agreement with us; or if we have reason to believe that there has been an unauthorized use of your account or access code.

You or any other party to your account can terminate this Agreement by notifying us in writing. Termination of service will be effective the first business day following receipt of your written notice. However, termination of this Agreement will not affect the rights and responsibilities of the parties under this Agreement for transactions initiated before termination.

11. Notices. The Credit Union reserves the right to change the terms and conditions upon which this service is offered. The Credit Union will mail notice to you at the last known address at least twenty-one (21) days before the effective date of any change, as required by law. Use of Online Banking is subject to existing regulations governing your accounts and any future changes to those regulations.

12. Errors or Questions. In case of errors or questions about your Online Banking transactions, telephone us at the phone number or write to us at the address set forth in 4. above as soon as you can. We must hear from you no later than sixty (60) days after we sent the first statement on which the problem appears.
    a. Tell us your name and account number.
    b. Describe the transaction you are unsure about, and explain as clearly as you can why you believe it is an error or why you need more information.
    c. Tell us the dollar amount of the suspected error.
If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your complaint or question in writing within ten (10) calendar days.

We will tell you the results of our investigation within ten (10) business days after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. For errors relating to transactions occurring within 30 thirty (30) days after the first deposit to the account (new accounts), we will tell you the results of our investigation within twenty (20) business days. If we need more time, however, we may take up to forty-five (45) days to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will re-credit your account within ten (10) business days (five (5) business days for Visa Debit Card purchases) for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have the use of the money during the time it takes us to complete our investigation. 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 re-credit your account. For POS transactions and transactions initiated outside the United States, we will have twenty (20) business days instead of ten (10) business days, and ninety (90) calendar days instead of forty-five (45) calendar days, unless otherwise required by law, to investigate your complaint or question.

If we decide after our investigation that an error did not occur, we will deliver or mail to you an explanation of our findings within three (3) business days after the conclusion of our investigation. If you request, we will provide you copies of documents (to the extent possible without violating other members' rights to privacy) we relied upon to conclude that the error did not occur.

13. Enforcement. You agree to be liable to the Credit Union for any liability or loss, or expense as provided in this Agreement that the Credit Union incurs as a result of any dispute involving your accounts or services. You authorize the Credit Union to deduct any such liability, loss, or expense from your account without prior notice to you. In the event either party brings a legal action to enforce the Agreement or collect any overdrawn funds on accounts accessed under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled, subject to applicable law, to payment by the other party of its reasonable attorney's fees and costs, including fees on any appeal, bankruptcy proceedings, and any post-judgment collection actions, if applicable.
