XIV. DEFINITIONS

I. ABOUT THIS AGREEMENT

  1. What this Agreement Covers. This Agreement between you, including all persons who own or are authorized to access any of your accounts ("you" or "your"), and The Golden 1 Credit Union ("Golden 1," "we," "our," or "us") states the terms and conditions that govern your use of various online banking and mobile banking services offered by Golden 1 (collectively, "Digital Banking Services" and each, a "Service"), which permit you to perform certain banking functions on our website at golden1.com ("golden1.com" or "Site") or by other electronic means, including, but not limited to, by email, mobile, or wireless access ("Digital Banking"). Digital Banking Services include, without limitation, services that allow you to access your account information, make payments, transfer funds, and conduct other banking transactions through the Site ("Online Banking"), or from your mobile device using the Golden 1 App ("Mobile Banking"). Certain other capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in the "Definitions" section at the end of this Agreement.This Agreement consists of General Terms for each Service (referred to as “General Terms”), and additional Terms that apply to the specific Service you are using from us. This Agreement applies to your use of the Digital Banking Services and the portion of the Site or App through which the Service is offered.
  2. Accepting this Agreement. Before Golden 1 provides Digital Banking Services to you, you must read and accept the terms of this Agreement. If you agree to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement once you have completely reviewed them, you may indicate your consent by clicking on the "I Accept" button at the end of this Agreement. If you choose not to accept the terms and conditions of this Agreement, your access to Digital Banking Services will not be activated. By accepting this Agreement, you are agreeing to the terms and conditions for all Digital Banking Services whether or not you use them. This Agreement controls all general aspects of your use and access to Digital Banking Services, including, among other things, the use of your "Electronic Signature" (as defined below). The terms and conditions of this Agreement pertaining to a particular Service will become applicable at the time when you request access to such Service.

    When you use or access Digital Banking Services, or permit another person to use Digital Banking Services on your behalf, you acknowledge receipt of this Agreement and agree to be bound by all terms and conditions contained herein, and all applicable terms and conditions contained in other agreements between us and you governing your checking, savings, and loan accounts accessible through and/or in connection with Digital Banking Services. You further agree to follow all instructions provided in connection with Digital Banking Services as reflected on your computer monitor, handheld computing device, cellular phone, and other Internet-enabled devices (collectively, "mobile device") or email or other system access screens.
  3. Relation to Other Agreements. The terms and conditions of this Agreement are in addition to the terms and conditions of any and all other applicable deposit account, loan and credit agreements, including all disclosures made pursuant to such agreements that you have with Golden 1. This Agreement supplements and does not replace the Membership Agreement and Disclosure of Account Information ("Disclosure of Account Information") applicable to your account(s) with Golden 1. To the extent that this Agreement and another agreement contain conflicting provisions, the provisions in this Agreement will control (with the exception of provisions in another agreement which specify the necessary hardware, software, and operating system, in which case such other provision controls) unless the other agreement expressly states otherwise, but only to the extent necessary to resolve the conflict or inconsistency. All other contractual obligations of the parties remain subject to the terms and conditions of any other applicable agreement.
  4. Notification, Amendments, and Changes in Terms and Conditions. We may amend this Agreement and any terms and conditions or applicable fees and charges for the Digital Banking Services at any time, as long as we give you advance notice to the extent required by law. When changes are made, we will update this Agreement on the Site. The revised version will be effective at the time it is posted unless an immediate change is necessary to maintain the security of the system, or a delayed effective date is expressly stated in the revision. Any notification, required or appropriate, will be mailed or made available to you online. Please access and review this Agreement regularly. If you find this Agreement unacceptable to you at any time, please discontinue your use of Digital Banking Services. Any use of the Service after a notice of change or after the posting of a revised version of this Agreement on the Site will constitute your agreement to such changes and revised versions.

    Further, we may, from time to time, revise, update, upgrade or enhance the Service and/or related applications or material, which may render all such prior versions obsolete. Consequently, we reserve the right to terminate this Agreement as to all such prior versions of the Service, and/or related applications and material, and limit access to only the Service's more recent revisions, updates, upgrades or enhancements.
  5. Agreement to Receive Electronic Communications. You have previously provided your affirmative consent to receive in electronic format, by electronic mail, website posting or through logged-in website interaction, all Communications related to Digital Banking Services. "Communications" means this Agreement, including information that we are required to disclose under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ("EFTA") and its implementing Regulation E, and any amendments, disclosures, notices, privacy policies, and any information that we are required by law to provide to you in writing, and any notice regarding hardware or software changes or access to the Site. Once you have enrolled in Digital Banking Services, periodic updates to this Agreement and other Communications related to your account(s) will be provided electronically only. Your consent to receive electronic Communications does not automatically enroll you in our Online Statements. You must complete a separate enrollment to stop receiving paper statements.

    You may withdraw your consent for receiving electronic Communications at any time. Withdrawal of your consent will immediately terminate the delivery of future Communications to you in electronic form. If you elect to receive Communications only in paper format, it may slow the speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you because we will need first to send the Communications to you in paper format, and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such paper Communications. To withdraw your consent, contact us by phone at 1-877-GOLDEN 1 (1-877-465-3361) or write to us at Golden 1 Credit Union, P.O. Box 15966, Sacramento, CA 95852-0966. The withdrawal of your consent will not affect the previously delivered electronic Communications.

    To access and retain the Communications electronically, you must have a working connection to the Internet with email capability and software that permits you to receive and access Portable Document Format (PDF) files with Adobe® Reader® software, and a supported browser such as Safari®, Chrome™, or Firefox®. If we change the minimum hardware or software requirements, we will send you a description of the new hardware and software requirements to the email address you provide. If you are unable to receive electronic documents, you must notify us.
  6. Paper Version of Communication. This Agreement is available for viewing online at any time, and can be downloaded or printed using your computer and a printer. You may request a paper version of this Agreement or any other Communication we provide to you electronically by contacting our Member Service Contact Center at 1-877-GOLDEN 1 (1-877-465-3361) or by logging on to your Online Banking account at golden1.com. We will mail paper copies of a Communication to you (at the address shown on our records) within ten (10) Business Days after the date we receive your request. Although we do not currently impose a fee or other charge for the initial paper copy of your Communications, we reserve the right to impose a fee or charge in the future and to change such fee at any time.
  7. Electronic Signature. By selecting "I Accept" at the end of this document you are signing this Agreement electronically and you agree that doing so is the legal equivalent of you manually signing this Agreement and that you will be legally bound by its terms and conditions. You further agree that your Electronic Signature constitutes your signature, acceptance, and agreement as if you had physically signed a document. You also agree that no certification authority or other third-party verification is necessary to validate your Electronic Signature and that the lack of such certification or third-party verification will not in any way affect the enforceability of your Electronic Signature or any resulting contract between you and us. You also represent that you are authorized to enter into this Agreement for all persons who own or are authorized to access any of your accounts and that such persons will be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

II. DIGITAL BANKING

  1. Description. You may access your accounts through Digital Banking on the Site or through your mobile device to obtain various Services that Golden 1 currently makes or in the future may make available via Digital Banking and which you currently or in the future may access or otherwise use. These services include but are not limited to accessing your account information, making payments, transferring funds, and receiving online statements. You must request access to each Service individually. You will be automatically enrolled in Mobile Banking when you enroll in Online Banking. Sign on to Digital Banking for a complete list of available Digital Banking Services.
  2. Eligibility. To be eligible for Digital Banking Services, you must be a member of Golden 1, a resident of the United States or its possessions, and have a deposit account in good standing with Golden 1. You must be the member/account owner on the deposit account in order to access it through Digital Banking. Joint owners are eligible for Digital Banking Services; provided that only one set of Security Credentials, such as User ID and password, will be issued for joint accounts. You agree to use Digital Banking Services for your consumer account(s) for individual purposes only, and not on behalf of any business, corporation, proprietorship or other entity. Digital Banking Services are offered only to individuals who can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, the Service is not offered to minors unless they are using an account in the name of the minor with a parent or guardian as a co-signor or guarantor. By using each Service, you represent that you meet these requirements and that you agree to be bound by this Agreement. We reserve the right to refuse enrollment to anyone and to terminate your enrollment in any or all Digital Banking Services at our discretion.
  3. Access. To access Digital Banking Services, you will need a personal computer or mobile device with Internet access and a supported Internet browser. You also need one or more Security Credentials, such as your User ID and password. You can access your Golden 1 accounts and process transactions through Digital Banking 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, except as otherwise provided herein.
  4. System Unavailability. Access to Digital Banking Services may be unavailable at times due to system maintenance or circumstances beyond our control. During these times, you may call our Member Service Contact Center at 1-877-GOLDEN 1 (1-877-465-3361) for assistance. We will make all reasonable efforts to ensure the availability of Digital Banking Services; however, we are in no way liable for system unavailability or any consequential damages that may result.
  5. Email Address, Notification and Updates. Your email address is required in order for you to obtain Digital Banking Services. We may notify you through email when a Communication or updated Agreement is available. To ensure that you continue to receive any such email notice pertaining to Communications or Digital Banking Services, you agree to keep us informed of any changes in your email address. You may modify your email notification address by accessing "Self Services" within your Online Banking account accessible via the Site. If we are not able to send you an email notification, you will still be able to access Communications through Digital Banking. Regardless of whether we are able to deliver an email notification to you, you agree that Communications will be deemed transmitted and received as soon as we make the Communications available to you through Digital Banking. You further agree to promptly review Communications made available to you through Digital Banking. It is your responsibility to use Digital Banking regularly to check for updates to Communications and this Agreement.
  6. Email Capabilities and Limitations. Online Banking includes email capabilities allowing you to send and receive secure electronic email messages to and from us. We will not immediately receive and review email messages that you send and it may take us one business day or more to respond. We will NOT process any request for a funds transfer received via email. Further, we may not act upon requests for stop payments, requests for replacement passwords, reports of lost or stolen passwords or unauthorized transactions (please refer to the "Your Responsibility and Liability for Unauthorized Transfers" section below for appropriate action in that circumstance), reports of lost or stolen automated teller machine (ATM) or Visa cards, or on any other request in which we would normally require written notification or your authorizing signature, without first confirming the authenticity of the email request/notification via telephone. In some instances, written confirmation reflecting your authorizing signature may still be required. We will not take action based on your email requests until we actually receive your message and have a reasonable opportunity to act. If your request requires immediate attention, contact our Member Service Contact Center directly at 1-877-GOLDEN 1 (1-877-465-3361).
  7. Security Credentials. Your Security Credentials give access to your account(s) through Digital Banking. During your enrollment, you are required to select a User ID and a password for use with Digital Banking in accordance with our instructions. Your password is required for security purposes in connection with the authentication of Digital Banking Services, including, without limitation, loan applications, transfers and payments you initiate through Digital Banking. Only one (1) password per account structure will be issued. You may also be assigned other Security Credentials, such as temporary identification codes or other means of authenticating your identity. As a security measure, we may require you to complete additional verification steps before allowing you to access Digital Banking Services. For example, when you attempt to login from a computer or a mobile device we do not recognize, we may ask you to verify your identity by answering security questions. The security questions are selected and answered by you upon your initial login to Digital Banking. Alternatively, you may request a temporary identification code from us and enter it along with your password to confirm your identity and proceed with login. Upon several unsuccessful attempts to answer security questions, your access to Digital Banking will be restricted and you must contact us to reestablish your authorization to use Digital Banking.

    Digital Banking allows you to change your password. For your protection, you should change your password frequently, and you should use a unique password for Digital Banking Services that you do not use for other online accounts or services. If you forget your password or your system access is disabled due to the use of an incorrect password, you must contact the Member Service Contact Center at 1-877-GOLDEN 1 (1-877-465-3361) to have a temporary password issued to you. We reserve the right to require written request for a new/replacement password.
  8. Security. Your Security Credentials are confidential and should NOT be disclosed to others or recorded on documentation or records located on or around your personal computer or mobile device. You agree to take reasonable precautions to safeguard and maintain the confidentiality of your Security Credentials at all times. You also agree not to give or make available any of your Security Credentials to any unauthorized individuals. If you disclose your Security Credentials to anyone, we may treat such disclosure as your authorization to that person or entity to transfer or withdraw funds from your account(s), and you assume all risks and losses associated with such disclosure and agree to be responsible for all actions taken by such person or entity, to the extent permitted by law. This means that you are responsible, to the extent permitted by law, for any transactions and activities performed from your accounts by such person or entity, even those you did not intend them to make. Any authorization shall continue until you specifically revoke such authority, including by changing the password or notifying us and obtaining a replacement password. If you fail to maintain security of your Security Credentials and we suffer a loss, we reserve the right to terminate your access to Digital Banking as well as other Golden 1 deposit and loan services as stated in your Disclosure of Account Information. If you believe that your Security Credentials have been lost or stolen or that someone may attempt to use them to access Digital Banking Services without your consent, you must inform us at once as provided in the "Electronic Fund Transfers" section below. See that section for more information regarding how the timeliness of your notice impacts your liability for unauthorized transfers.
  9. Online Statements. You may request to receive your account statements online only ("Online Statements"). You may request Online Statements by selecting "I want to sign up for Online Statements and Electronic Notices" during the initial Digital Banking enrollment. Alternatively, you may request Online Statements at any time by clicking on the Online Statements tab, following the required steps, and agreeing to the terms of the Consent to Receive Online Statements.

III. ELECTRONIC FUND TRANSFERS

  1. Coverage. The EFTA and its implementing Regulation E govern some of the transactions subject to this Agreement, and some terms and conditions included in this Agreement are required by federal law. The following disclosures apply to all electronic fund transfers, as defined in Regulation E, conducted to or from consumer accounts through Digital Banking Services, including, without limitation, electronic fund transfers conducted through Bill Payment Service, Zelle Payment Service, and External Transfer Service.
  2. Your Liability for Unauthorized Transfers. You are responsible for all transfers and payments you initiate and authorize using Digital Banking. You are also responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your Security Credentials. If you permit other persons to use Digital Banking and your Security Credentials, you are responsible for any transactions they authorize from any of your accounts. Notify us IMMEDIATELY if you believe that your password or any other Security Credentials have been lost or stolen, that someone has used them or may use them to access your accounts without authorization, or that any electronic fund transfer or any other transfer of money has been made without your permission. Calling our Member Service Contact Center at 1-877-GOLDEN 1 (1-877-465-3361) is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. If you do not notify us, you could lose all the money in your account plus any available credit on your line(s) of credit.

    If you tell us within two (2) Business Days after learning or suspecting that any part of your Security Credentials was lost, stolen, or used by someone without your permission, you can lose no more than $50.00 should someone access your account without your permission. If you do NOT notify us within two (2) Business Days after you discover such loss or theft, and we can establish that we could have prevented the unauthorized use of your password or other means to access your account if you had told us within the two (2) Business Day period, you could be liable for as much as $500.00.

    If your monthly statement shows payments that you did not make or authorize, you must tell us at once. If you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after the statement was mailed or made available to you, you may lose any amount transferred without your authorization after the sixty (60) days have elapsed if we can establish that we could have stopped someone from taking the money had you told us within that sixty (60) day period. We may extend this notification period in our sole discretion if a valid reason (such as an extended hospital stay) prevented you from telling us. If you grant authority to make transfers to another person (such as a family member or friend) who exceeds the authority granted, you are fully liable for any transfers until you notify us that transfers by that person are no longer authorized and we have a reasonable opportunity to act on that notification.
  3. Contact in Event of Unauthorized Transfer. If you believe that your Security Credentials have been lost or stolen, or that someone has used them or may use them to access your accounts without your permission, call our Member Service Contact Center at 1-877-GOLDEN 1 (1-877-465-3361) or write to us at Golden 1 Credit Union, P.O. Box 15966, Sacramento, CA 95852. You should also call or write to us if you believe a transfer has been made using the information from your check without your permission.
  4. Limits on Transfers and Transactions. You cannot initiate transfers using Digital Banking to or from certificate accounts, individual retirement accounts, or any restricted accounts. Overdraft protection (if any) is NOT automatically triggered to cover "insufficient funds" transactions initiated through Digital Banking Services. There may be other limits on the number and/or value of transactions you can initiate through Digital Banking, as stated below. In addition, we reserve the right to limit the frequency and dollar amount of any transactions at any time for security reasons.
  5. Finance Charges on Loan Transfers. Each transfer made from your Visa® account, home equity line of credit account or any other revolving line of credit account you may have with us, is considered a cash advance. Finance charges begin to accrue from the effective date of each loan transfer in accordance with the terms of your credit agreement(s).
  6. Funds Availability and Accrual of Dividends. Funds from electronic fund transfer credits/deposits will be available on the same day of the transfer in accordance with our "Funds Availability Policy," which can be found within the Disclosure of Account Information provided to you at the time you opened your account(s) with us. Dividends begin to accrue on the effective date of the transfer.
  7. Future Dated Transfers. Future dated transfers are transactions that can be scheduled up to one year in advance of the desired transaction date. All future dated transfers will be processed at 1:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time (PST) on the scheduled date of transfer.
  8. Frequency of Transfers. Transfers can be requested for one time only or scheduled to automatically recur weekly, monthly, quarterly or annually. Recurring transfers can be open-ended and continue indefinitely until canceled, or they can be limited to a specific number of occurrences as established by you.
  9. Processing Dates, Funds Availability and Cancellation Instructions for Transfers. For transfers that are to be processed on the date they are initiated, funds are immediately deducted from your account and cannot be canceled for any reason once the transfer request has been completed. Sufficient funds must be available in the account from which the transfer is being made at the time of transfer or else the transfer will be canceled and you may incur fees as set forth in the Fee Schedule. For future dated transfers, sufficient funds must be available in the account from which the withdrawal is being made no later than 1:00 p.m. PST on the scheduled transfer date. Any request to cancel or delete a future dated transfer must be made prior to 1:00 p.m. PST on the transaction date.
  10. Electronic Presentment and Payment of Checks. In some cases when you write a check to a merchant in payment of goods or services, the merchant may present that check electronically for payment instead of sending us the paper check. Generally, merchants who make use of electronic presentment of checks will inform you of their intention to do so at the time you give them your check. When we receive these items in electronic form, they will be debited against your account the same as if we had received the actual paper checks; however, these transactions are covered under the provisions of the EFTA. When you provide information to a merchant from your personal check (such as the MICR encoded routing, account and serial numbers), or send your check to a lockbox regardless of whether the check is blank, partially or fully completed, along with your signature, and the check is converted into an electronic fund transfer to debit the funds from your account, this is covered under the provisions and protections of the EFTA.

    When a paper check has been returned unpaid to a merchant because there are not sufficient funds in your account to cover it, the merchant may re-present the check to us electronically. The check re-presented electronically can be processed as an ACH payment up to three (3) times until it clears (that includes the first presentment, which may or may not have been in check form). Re-presented check entries, which result from the original check being processed in paper form, are NOT covered under the EFTA; they are covered by the UCC, and Regulation CC. You may incur an insufficient funds fee for each presentment as set forth in the Fee Schedule.

    If you wish to place a stop payment order on a check that you have given to a merchant who intends to present it to us electronically, we must receive your stop payment order in the manner required by law and in such time and manner that allows us a reasonable opportunity to act upon it before we receive the electronic debit entry.
  11. Right to Stop Payment on Electronic Transfers. A stop payment order cannot be placed once an electronic fund transfer has been initiated by you and accepted by the system, or a bill payment transfer has been made and your account has been debited on the scheduled payment date. If you have made a transfer in error, you must reverse the transaction by initiating a correcting transfer. Please note that transfers cannot be corrected via Digital Banking when made as transfer/payments to closed-end loan accounts. Contact us immediately if you require reversal of these transactions or need additional assistance. For further information on placing stop payments on bill payment transfers before payment is made, refer to the "Bill Payment" section below. You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless against any and all claims you or any third party may have arising from or in connection with your failure to timely request a stop payment in accordance with the terms and conditions of your agreements with us.
  12. Stop Payment on Preauthorized Payments. If you have told us in advance to make recurring payments out of your account, you can stop any of these payments. Call our Member Service Contact Center at 1-877-GOLDEN 1 (1-877-465-3361) or write to us at Golden 1 Credit Union, P.O. Box 15966, Sacramento, CA 95852. We must receive your request at least three (3) Business Days before the payment is scheduled to be made. If you call, we may require you to send your request to us in within fourteen (14) calendar days. Unless you notify us otherwise, we will treat your stop payment order as a request to stop payment on one particular payment. If you want all future payments to a particular party stopped, you must specifically advise us of your intention. We will charge you for each stop payment order in accordance with our Fee Schedule. If you order us to stop one of these electronic payments three (3) Business Days or more before the transfer is scheduled to be made, and we do not do so, we will be liable for your losses or damages proximately caused by us.
  13. Confidentiality. It is our general policy to treat your account information as confidential. However, we will disclose information to third parties about your account or the transfers you make: (a) where it is necessary for completing transfers; (b) in order to verify the existence and condition of your account for a third party, such as a credit bureau or merchant; (c) in order to comply with regulatory requirements, government agency requests, or administrative or judicial orders; or; (d) as explained in our privacy notices.
  14. Fees and Charges. We do not charge fees for making electronic fund transfers; however, other fees and charges associated with your account(s) will continue to apply. There may be fees and charges related to the Bill Payment Service and External Transfer Service if used by you. Refer to our Fee Schedule for details on fees and service charges. You are solely responsible for the payment of any Internet service provider, telephone and utility company charges incurred in connection with accessing Digital Banking Services.
  15. Periodic Statements; Account Transaction History. Your completed Digital Banking transactions will appear on your periodic account statements. The primary account owner will receive a monthly account statement on the electronic funds transfer activity on your accounts unless there are no transfers in a particular month. In any case, the primary account owner will get a statement at least quarterly. Be sure to review and verify all statement information thoroughly. You may also obtain information on transfers and payments by reviewing your transaction history using Digital Banking. You agree to review your transactions by this method instead of receiving receipts by mail. You may access and download your transaction history through Digital Banking. When you do so, Online Banking will display your history for the past two (2) years in 120 calendar day increments, and Mobile Banking will display your history for the past 90 calendar days in ten (10) transaction increments. You may need to download your transaction history periodically if you wish to have all of your account information on your personal computer.
  16. 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 with you, we may be liable for your losses and damages; however, there are some exceptions. We will NOT be liable, for instance:
    1. If, through no fault of ours, you do not have enough available funds in your Account to make the transfer;
    2. If the transfer would go over the credit limit on your overdraft line;
    3. If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire, flood, network or system down time, issues with other financial institutions, or interference from an outside force) prevent or delay the transfer, despite reasonable precautions taken by us;
    4. If the password, transaction or account information, or other information you have provided is incorrect, incomplete, ambiguous, or untimely;
    5. If the system was not working properly and you knew or had been advised about the malfunction before you executed the transfer;
    6. If you are in default on an account to which you are attempting a transfer; or
    7. If there is some other exception stated in our agreement with you.


    In addition, we will also have no liability whatsoever for failure to complete a payment or transfer you initiate or attempt to initiate through Digital Banking under any of the following circumstances:

    1. If you did not properly follow software or Digital Banking instructions on how to make the transfer or payment;
    2. If you did not give us complete, correct and current instructions or information to process your transaction request, including, without limitation, the Eligible Transaction Account, External Account and Biller information;
    3. If you did not authorize a payment soon enough for the payment to be made, transmitted, received and credited by the payee/vendor;
    4. If we made a timely payment but the payee/vendor did not promptly credit your payment after receipt;
    5. If your personal computer, mobile device and/or software malfunctioned for any reason;
    6. If the transfer or payment could not be completed due to system unavailability or a telecommunication or Internet service provider service failure; or
    7. If we blocked the transfer to protect the integrity or security of the system.
  17. Errors, Questions, and Complaints. In case of errors or questions about your electronic fund transfers or transactions listed on your statement or receipt, you should contact us as soon as possible by calling our Member Service Contact Center at 1-877-GOLDEN 1 (1-877-465-3361), writing us at Golden 1 Credit Union, P.O. Box 15966, Sacramento, CA 95852, or emailing us a secure message utilizing the Online Banking Message Center.

    If you think your periodic statement for your account is incorrect or you need more information about a transaction, we must hear from you no later than sixty (60) days after we sent the FIRST statement on which the problem or error appeared. You must:

    1. Tell us your name;
    2. Describe the error or the transfer in question, and explain as clearly as possible why you believe it is an error or why you need more information.
    3. Tell us the dollar amount of the suspected error and the date it occurred.
    For security reasons, please do not include confidential information such as account numbers in your unsecure email communications to us.

    If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your complaint or question in writing within ten (10) Business Days after your oral notification. Except as described below, we will determine whether an error occurred within ten (10) Business Days after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to forty-five (45) calendar days to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will provisionally (i.e., temporarily) credit your account within ten (10) Business Days 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 request in writing and we do not receive it within ten (10) Business Days, we may not credit your account.

    For errors involving new accounts, point-of-sale, or foreign initiated transactions, we may take up to ninety (90) days to investigate your complaint or question. For new accounts, we may take up to twenty (20) Business Days to provisionally credit your account for the amount you think is in error.

    We will tell you the results within three (3) Business Days after completing our investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation and any provisional credit will be revoked. You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation.

IV. INTERNAL TRANSFERS

  1. Description of Service. You may use Digital Banking to make one-time or repeating transfers among Accounts held by us ("Cross Account Transfer"). Cross Account Transfers are permitted to any sub-Account (unless otherwise restricted) as established within the membership Account structure at Golden 1. We reserve the right at any time to restrict or prohibit Cross Account Transfer capabilities on specific types of Accounts. To transfer available funds from one Account to another, you must log on to Digital Banking using the membership Account number from which you wish to transfer the funds. Cross Account Transfer capabilities are divided into two types: (1) transfers between your Golden 1 Accounts; or (2) transfers to another person's Golden 1 Account.
  2. Transfers Among Your Golden 1 Accounts. You may transfer funds between your Golden 1 Accounts that have different Account numbers. This service is available where the accountholder and his or her Social Security number are the same on both Accounts. To request Cross Account Transfer capabilities to transfer funds between your Golden 1 Accounts online, you can send us a secure message within Online Banking, contact a Member Service Representative, or visit one of our branches. You must be a legal owner on all Accounts identified. We may verify legal ownership on all Accounts before Cross Account Transfer capabilities are permitted. To access and initiate funds transfers on your Accounts, you must also provide us with each Account number.
  3. Transfers to Third Party Golden 1 Accounts. You may transfer funds to another Golden 1 Account, of which you are not a legal owner. To request Cross Account Transfer capabilities to transfer funds from your Account to the Account of another member (a third party), you can send us a secure message within Online Banking, contact a Member Service Representative or visit one of our branches. You may be permitted to transfer funds from your Account(s) to the Account of another member; however, you will not have access to, or the capability to review Account balances or activity, or to perform other transactions on third-party Account(s). Transfers of funds made by you to third-party Accounts are non- revocable and cannot be reversed without the third-party's written consent, even if you have made an error in the amount transferred or the Account to which the funds were transferred.

V. EXTERNAL TRANSFERS

  1. Description of Service, Authorization and Processing.
    1. You may use Digital Banking to transfer funds between your Golden 1 Accounts and your Accounts that are maintained by other financial institutions ("External Transfer Service"). Golden 1 Account types that qualify as Eligible Transaction Accounts for the External Transfer Service include checking, money market, or savings accounts that you hold with us. Other financial institutions may have restrictions regarding transfers into and out of various account types and limitations on the External Accounts. We are not responsible for any costs or losses arising out of transfers that are not permitted by another financial institution. Please refer to your other financial institution's terms and conditions relating to incoming and outgoing transfers.
    2. You represent and warrant that you are either the sole owner or a joint owner of the Eligible Transaction Account and the External Account and that you have all necessary legal right, power and authority to transfer funds between the Eligible Transaction Account and the External Account. If you are a joint owner of the Eligible Transaction Account, the External Account, or both, then you represent and warrant that (i) you have been authorized by all of the other joint owners to operate such Accounts without their consent (including, without limitation, to withdraw or deposit any or all amount of funds to such Accounts); and (ii) we may act on your instructions regarding such Accounts without liability to such other joint owners. Further, you represent and warrant that the External Account is located in the United States.
    3. You may initiate the following types of transfers through the External Transfer Service: (1) a one-time transfer for which processing shall be initiated immediately, (2) a one-time Transfer Instruction for which processing shall be initiated at a later specified date up to one (1) year, and (3) a recurring series of Transfer Instructions for which processing shall be initiated on the specified dates. Further details about each of these options can be found on the Site or the Golden 1 App. When we receive a Transfer Instruction from you, you authorize us to (i) debit your Eligible Transaction Account and remit funds on your behalf to the External Account designated by you and to debit your applicable Account for any service fees and additional charges associated with the External Transfer Service as described below in subsection 5 ("External Transfer Service Fees and Additional Charges") or as disclosed in our Fee Schedule; or, as applicable, to (ii) credit your Eligible Transaction Account and remit funds on your behalf from the External Account designated by you and to debit your applicable Account for any service fees and additional charges associated with the External Transfer Service as described below in subsection 5 ("External Transfer Service Fees and Additional Charges") or as disclosed in our Fee Schedule. You also authorize us to reverse a transfer from the applicable Account if the debit is returned from the other Account in the transaction for any reason, including but not limited to nonsufficient funds.Transfers may be delayed or blocked to prevent fraud or comply with regulatory requirements. If we delay or block a Transfer Instruction that you have initiated, we will notify you in accordance with your user preferences (i.e., email, push notification).
    4. We will use reasonable efforts to make all your transfers properly. However, we shall incur no liability if we are unable to complete any transfers initiated by you because of the existence of any one or more of the circumstances described in the "Our Liability" subsection within the Electronic Fund Transfers section above, or if the transfer is refused as described subsection 6 below ("Refused Transfers").
    5. It is your responsibility to ensure the accuracy of any information that you enter into the External Transfer Service, and for informing us as soon as possible if you become aware that this information is inaccurate. You must provide a physical address (i.e. not a P.O. Box) in order to enroll in the External Transfer Service. We will make a reasonable effort to stop or recover a transfer made to the wrong Account once informed, but we do not guarantee such recovery and will bear no responsibility or liability for damages resulting from incorrect information entered by you.
  2. Transfer Methods and Amounts. The "Payment Methods and Amounts" subsection of the General Terms section below applies to the External Transfer Service, even in circumstances where the External Account is closed and we are attempting to return funds to such Account.
  3. Transfer Cancellation Requests. You may cancel a transfer at any time until it begins processing (as shown in the External Transfer Service).
  4. Stop Payment Requests. If you desire to stop any transfer that has already been processed, you must contact us as herein. Although we will make a reasonable effort to accommodate your request, we will have no liability for failing to do so. We may also require you to present your request in writing within fourteen (14) days. The charge for each request will be the current charge for stop payment orders as set out in our Fee Schedule.
  5. External Transfer Service Fees and Additional Charges. You are responsible for paying all fees associated with your use of the External Transfer Service. Applicable fees will be disclosed in the user interface for, or elsewhere within, the External Transfer Service or Site and are in addition to any applicable fees we may charge as disclosed in the Fee Schedule. Any applicable fees will be charged regardless of whether the External Transfer Service was used, except for fees that are specifically use-based. Use-based fees for the External Transfer Service will be charged against the Account that is debited for the funds transfer. There may also be charges for additional transactions and other optional services. You agree to pay such charges and authorize us to deduct the calculated amount from the applicable Eligible Transaction Account you hold with us or the Account that is debited for the funds transfer, depending on how such charges are described in the user interface for the External Transfer Service. Any fees associated with your standard deposit accounts will continue to apply. You are responsible for any and all telephone and Internet service fees that may be assessed by your telephone and Internet service provider. The "Failed Or Returned Payment Instructions" subsection of the General Terms section applies if you do not pay our fees and charges for the External Transfer Service, including, without limitation, if we debit the External Account for such fees, as described in this section, and there are insufficient fees in the External Account (and in these circumstances such subsection will apply to the External Account as well as the Eligible Transaction Account).
  6. Refused Transfers. We reserve the right to refuse any transfer in our sole discretion. To the required by applicable law, we will notify you promptly if we decide to refuse to transfer funds. This notification is not required if you attempt to make a transfer that is not allowed under this Agreement.
  7. Returned or Failed Transfers. In using the External Transfer Service, you understand that transfers may be returned for various reasons such as, but not limited to, the External Account number is not valid. We will use reasonable efforts to research and correct the transfer to the intended Account or void the transfer. We will, to the extent permitted by law, make reasonable attempts to return any unclaimed, refused, refunded, prohibited, or denied transfer to your Account that we debited for the funds transfer or use other reasonable efforts to return such transfer to you as permitted by law. In certain cases, we may require you to contact us or the financial institution for your External Account to initiate a request to receive such funds. You may receive notification from us.

VI. BILL PAYMENT

  1. Description. You may use Digital Banking to receive and pay bills, schedule recurring payments, and track your payment history ("Bill Payment Service"). The Bill Payment Service includes (i) online bill payment, which enables you to receive, view, and pay bills from the Site, and (ii) electronic bill delivery and presentment, which electronically presents you with electronic bills from select Billers. To access the Bill Payment Service, you will need to sign on to Digital Banking using your Security Credentials, and then click on the Payments tab on the navigation bar. From there the system will link you to the Bill Payment Service.
  2. Payment Scheduling. The earliest possible Scheduled Payment Date for each Biller will be designated within the portion of the Site through which the Bill Payment Service is offered when you are scheduling the payment. Therefore, the Service will not permit you to select a Scheduled Payment Date less than the earliest possible Scheduled Payment Date designated for each Biller.When scheduling payments you must select a Scheduled Payment Date that is no later than the actual Due Date reflected on your Biller statement unless the Due Date falls on a non-Business Day. If the actual Due Date falls on a non-Business Day, you must select a Scheduled Payment Date that is at least one (1) Business Day before the actual Due Date. Scheduled Payment Dates must be prior to any late date or grace period. Depending on the method of payment, your Eligible Transaction Account may be debited prior to the Scheduled Payment Date. For example, if the selected method of payment is a draft check drawn on your account, the draft check arrives earlier than the Scheduled Payment Date due to expedited delivery by the postal service, and the Biller immediately deposits the draft check, your Eligible Transaction Account may be debited earlier than the Scheduled Payment Date.
  3. Bill Payment Service Guarantee. Due to circumstances beyond the control of the Bill Payment Service, particularly delays in handling and posting payments by Billers or other financial institutions, some transactions may take longer to be credited to your Account. The Bill Payment Service will bear responsibility for any late payment related charges up to $50.00 should a payment post after its Due Date as long as the payment was scheduled by you in accordance with the "Payment Scheduling" subsection above.
  4. Payment Authorization and Payment Remittance. By providing the Bill Payment Service with names and account information of Billers to whom you wish to direct payments, you authorize the Bill Payment Service to follow the Payment Instructions that it receives through the Site. In order to process payments more efficiently and effectively, the Bill Payment Service may edit or alter payment data or data formats in accordance with Biller directives.

    When the Bill Payment Service receives a Payment Instruction, you authorize the Bill Payment Service to debit your Eligible Transaction Account and remit funds on your behalf so that the funds arrive as close as reasonably possible to the Scheduled Payment Date designated by you. You also authorize the Bill Payment Service to credit your Eligible Transaction Account for payments returned to the Bill Payment Service by the United States Postal Service (USPS) or Biller, or payments remitted to you on behalf of another authorized user of the Bill Payment Service.

    We will attempt to make all your payments through the Bill Payment Service properly. However, we shall incur no liability and any Bill Payment Service Guarantee (as described above) shall be void if we are unable to complete any payments initiated by you through the Bill Payment Service because of the existence of any one or more of the circumstances described in the "Our Liability" subsection within the Electronic Fund Transfers section above.

    Provided none of the foregoing exceptions are applicable, if the Bill Payment Service causes an incorrect amount of funds to be removed from your Eligible Transaction Account or causes funds from your Eligible Transaction Account to be directed to a Biller which does not comply with your Payment Instructions, we shall be responsible for returning the improperly transferred funds to your Eligible Transaction Account and for directing to the proper Biller any previously misdirected transactions, and, if applicable, for any late payment related charges.
  5. Payment Cancellation Requests. You may cancel or edit any Scheduled Payment (including recurring payments) by following the directions within the portion of the Site through which the Bill Payment Service is offered. There is no charge for canceling or editing a Scheduled Payment. Once the Bill Payment Service has begun processing a payment, it cannot be cancelled or edited, and a stop payment request must be submitted.
  6. Stop Payment Requests. Our ability to process a stop payment request for the Bill Payment Service will depend on the payment method and whether or not a check has cleared. We also may not have a reasonable opportunity to act on any stop payment request after a payment has been processed. If you desire to stop any payment that has already been processed, you must contact us as set forth herein. Although we will attempt to accommodate your request, we will have no liability for failing to do so. We also may require you to present your request in writing within fourteen (14) days. The charge for each stop payment request will be the current charge for stop payment orders as set out in our Fee Schedule
  7. Exception Payment Requests. Exception Payments may be scheduled through the Bill Payment Service; however, Exception Payments are discouraged and must be scheduled at your own risk. Except as required by applicable law, in no event shall we be liable for any claims or damages resulting from your scheduling of Exception Payments. The Bill Payment Service Guarantee does not apply to Exception Payments.
  8. Electronic Bill Delivery and Presentment. The Bill Payment Service includes a feature that electronically presents you with electronic bills from select Billers. Electronic bills may not be available from all of your Billers. Electronic bills are provided as a convenience only, and you remain solely responsible for contacting your Billers directly if you do not receive their statements. This Agreement does not alter your liability or obligations that currently exist between you and your Billers. If you elect to activate one of the Bill Payment Service's electronic bill options, you agree to the following:
    1. Presentation of Electronic Bills. You will receive electronic bills from a Biller only if both (i) you have designated it in the Bill Payment Service as one of your Billers, and (ii) the Biller has arranged with our Service Provider to deliver electronic bills. The Bill Payment Service may then present you with electronic bills from that Biller if either: (1) you affirmatively elect online within the Bill Payment Service to receive electronic bills from the Biller, or (2) the Biller chooses to send you electronic bills on a temporary "trial basis." In either case, you can elect online within the Bill Payment Service to stop receiving electronic bills from a Biller. Electing to receive electronic bills, automatically receiving trial electronic bills, and declining further elected or trial electronic bills all occur on an individual Biller basis. The Bill Payment Service does not include an option to prevent you from participating in the automatic trial electronic bill feature. When affirmatively electing to receive electronic bills from a particular Biller, you may be presented with terms from that Biller for your acceptance. We are not a party to such terms.
    2. Paper Copies of Electronic Bills. If you start receiving electronic bills from a Biller, the Biller may stop sending you paper or other statements. The ability to receive a paper copy of your statement(s) is at the sole discretion of the Biller. Check with the individual Biller regarding your ability to obtain paper copies of electronic bills on a regular or as-requested basis.
    3. Sharing Information with Billers. You authorize us to share identifying personal information about you (such as name, address, telephone number, Biller account number) with companies that you have identified as your Billers and which we have identified as offering electronic bills for purposes of matching your identity on the Bill Payment Service’s records and the Biller’s records to (a) activate your affirmative request for electronic bills, and/or (b) confirm your eligibility for "trial basis" electronic bills.
    4. Information Held by the Biller. We are unable to update or change your personal information such as, but not limited to, name, address, phone numbers and email addresses, that is held by the Biller. Any changes will require you to contact the Biller directly. Additionally, it is your responsibility to maintain all usernames and passwords for all electronic Biller sites. You also agree not to use someone else's information to gain unauthorized access to another person's bill. We may, at the request of the Biller, provide to the Biller your email address, service address, or other data specifically requested by the Biller for purposes of the Biller matching your identity against its records or informing you about the Biller's services and/or bill information.
    5. Activation. Upon activation of the electronic bill feature of the Bill Payment Service, we will notify the Biller of your request to receive electronic billing information. The presentment of your first electronic bill may vary from Biller to Biller and may take up to sixty (60) days, depending on the billing cycle of each Biller. It is your responsibility to keep your accounts current while your electronic bill feature is being activated. Each Biller reserves the right to accept or deny your request to receive electronic bills.
    6. Authorization to Obtain Bill Data. You authorize us to obtain bill data from your Billers that you have requested to send you electronic bills, and from your Billers that wish to send you trial electronic bills. For some Billers, you will be asked to provide us with your user name and password for that Biller. By providing us with such information, you authorize us to use the information to obtain your bill data.
    7. Notification. We will attempt to present all of your electronic bills promptly. In addition to notification within the Bill Payment Service, we may send an email notification to the email address listed for your account. It is your sole responsibility to ensure that this information is accurate. In the event you do not receive notification, it is your responsibility to periodically log on to the Bill Payment Service and check on the delivery of new electronic bills. The time for notification may vary from Biller to Biller. You are responsible for ensuring timely payment of all bills.
    8. Cancellation of Electronic Bill Notification. The Biller reserves the right to cancel the presentment of electronic bills at any time. You may also cancel electronic bill presentment at any time. The timeframe for cancellation of your electronic bill presentment may vary from Biller to Biller. It may take up to sixty (60) days, depending on the billing cycle of each Biller. We will notify your Biller(s) as to the change in status of your account and it is your sole responsibility to make arrangements for an alternative form of bill delivery. We will not be responsible for presenting any electronic bills that are already in process at the time of cancellation.
    9. Non-Delivery of Electronic Bill(s). You agree to hold us harmless should the Biller fail to deliver your statement(s). You are responsible for ensuring timely payment of all bills. Copies of previously delivered bills must be requested from the Biller directly.
    10. Accuracy and Dispute of Electronic Bill. We are not responsible for the accuracy of your electronic bill(s). We are only responsible for presenting the information we receive from the Biller. Any discrepancies or disputes regarding the accuracy of your electronic bill summary or detail must be addressed and resolved with the Biller directly by you.
  9. Disclosure of Account Information to Third Parties. It is our general policy to treat your account information as confidential. However, we will disclose information to third parties about your account or the transactions in the following situation, in addition to the circumstances set forth in the "Privacy" and "Information Authorization" subsections of the General Terms of this Agreement: (a) where it is necessary for completing transactions; (b) where it is necessary for activating additional services; (c) in order to verify the existence and condition of your account to a third party, such as a credit bureau or Biller; (d) to a consumer reporting agency for research purposes only; (e) in order to comply with a governmental agency or court order; or (f) if you give us your written permission.
  10. Service Fees and Additional Charges. You are responsible for paying all fees associated with your use of the Bill Payment Service. Applicable fees will be disclosed in the user interface for, or elsewhere within, the Bill Payment Service or Site and are in addition to any applicable fees we may charge as disclosed in the Fee Schedule. Any applicable fees will be charged regardless of whether the Bill Payment Service was used, except for fees that are specifically use-based. Use-based fees for the Bill Payment Service will be charged against the Billing Account. There may also be charges for additional transactions and other optional services. You agree to pay such charges and authorize us to deduct the calculated amount from your designated Billing Account. Any fees associated with your standard deposit accounts will continue to apply. You are responsible for any and all telephone access fees and Internet service fees that may be assessed by your telephone and Internet service provider. The "Failed or Returned Payment Instructions" subsection of the General Terms section below applies if you do not pay our fees and charges for the Bill Payment Service, including, without limitation, if we debit the Billing Account for such fees, as described in this section, and there are insufficient fees in the Billing Account.
  11. Biller Limitation. The Bill Payment Service reserves the right to refuse to pay any Biller to whom you may direct a payment, including, without limitation, if it appears to be a prohibited payment or an Exception Payment under this Agreement. As required by applicable law, the Bill Payment Service will notify you promptly if it decides to refuse to pay a Biller designated by you.
  12. Returned Payments. In using the Bill Payment Service, you understand that Billers and/or the USPS may return payments to the Bill Payment Service for various reasons such as, but not limited to, Biller's forwarding address expired; Biller account number is not valid; Biller is unable to locate account; or Biller account is paid in full. The Service Provider will attempt to research and correct the returned payment and return it to your Biller, or void the payment and credit your Eligible Transaction Account. You may receive notification from the Bill Payment Service.
  13. Information Authorization. In addition to the "Information Authorization" subsection of the General Terms section below, you agree that the Bill Payment Service reserves the right to obtain financial information regarding your account from a Biller or your financial institution (for example, to resolve payment posting problems or for verification).
  14. Bill Capture. The following Bill Capture terms and conditions in this Section only apply to Bill Capture (as defined below). If Bill Capture is not available to you within our mobile banking application, then this Section does not apply.

    Bill Capture. Your use of our mobile banking application may include the ability to add bill payment payees by utilizing your mobile phone to take pictures of your paper bills ("Bill Capture"). Once you take the picture, Bill Capture extracts and prefills Biller information such as the name, address and account number of the Biller into our mobile banking app for use with the Bill Payment Service, or matches the bill to an existing Biller and prefills the amount due and due date. Bill Capture is subject to the following terms:

    1. You shall use Bill Capture only for your own use in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;
    2. We do not guarantee that your mobile device will be compatible with Bill Capture; and
    3. You bear sole responsibility for confirming that the information captured by Bill Capture matches the information on the applicable bill pay stub, and in no event will we be liable for any results from your use of extracted data from Bill Capture with the Digital Banking Services, including, without limitation, any late fees for payments sent to an improper Biller or improper account.
  15. Bill Discovery. The following Bill Discovery terms and conditions in this Section only apply to Bill Discovery (as defined below). If Bill Discovery is not available to you from our Site, then this Section does not apply.

    Bill Discovery. The bill discovery feature ("Bill Discovery") enables the automatic searching, identification, and retrieval of information about your Billers and bills based on matching information about your identity. In order to enable Bill Discovery, you will need to authorize the Bill Payment Service to access and use information from your consumer report from a credit bureau and/or our Biller network in order for Bill Discovery to identify potential matches. By providing your consent within the Bill Discovery portion of the Site, you authorize the Bill Payment Service to access and use such information until you withdraw your consent. You may withdraw your consent within the Bill Discovery portion of the Site at any time. If Bill Discovery has identified Biller matches, the Bill Payment Service will allow you to add these Billers to your user profile. New Billers added through Bill Discovery are subject to the "Bill Delivery and Presentment" subsection of the Bill Payment Terms.
  16. Payment Methods. In addition to the payment methods set forth in the "Payment Methods and Amounts" subsection of the General Terms section below, certain Bill Payment Service payments may be processed using a prepaid, single-use virtual card. Single-use cards provide a fast and secure way for your payment to be delivered. Please note in the event your payment is processed using a virtual card, you will not recognize the payment method and/or card numbers on any payment confirmation communication you may receive from your Biller.

VII. ZELLE® AND OTHER PAYMENT SERVICES (effective June 6, 2023)

  1. Description of Services.
    1. We have partnered with the Zelle Network®("Zelle®”) to enable a convenient way to transfer money between you and other Users using aliases, such as email addresses or mobile phone numbers ("Zelle®Payment Service,” as further described below). Zelle®provides no deposit account or other financial services. Zelle®neither transfers nor moves money. You may not establish a financial account with Zelle®of any kind. All money will be transmitted by a Network Financial Institution. THE ZELLE®PAYMENT SERVICE IS INTENDED TO SEND MONEY TO FRIENDS, FAMILY AND OTHERS YOU TRUST. YOU SHOULD NOT USE THE ZELLE®PAYMENT SERVICE OR OTHER PAYMENT SERVICES TO SEND MONEY TO RECIPIENTS WITH WHOM YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR OR YOU DO NOT TRUST. This is because money moves quickly—directly into the recipient’s bank account, typically within minutes—and once you authorize a payment to be sent, you can’t cancel it if the recipient is already enrolled in Zelle®. The term "Zelle®and Other Payment Terms” means the terms set forth in this Section VII ("Zelle®and Other Payment Services”). Zelle®and the Zelle®related marks are wholly owned by Early Warning Services, LLC and are used herein under license.
    2. In addition to the Zelle®Payment Service, we provide other payment services under these Terms of Service. First, these additional services allow you to send money to people if you provide the Eligible Transaction Account information and other contact information for the Receiver; such transactions are not sent via Zelle®. Second, outside Zelle®, we allow you to establish a one-time payment for a payment recipient for which processing shall be initiated at a later specified date up to one (1) year. Third, outside Zelle®, we enable you to establish a recurring series of payments to a payment recipient for which processing shall be initiated on dates you specify. These three payment services and any other payment services that we provide under these Zelle®and Other Payment Terms are referred to as "Other Payment Services” in these Zelle®and Other Payment Terms. Although future-dated payments and recurring payments are outside Zelle®, we may ultimately send those transactions via Zelle®when the applicable date of payment arrives, in which case the applicable payment transaction is part of the Zelle®Payment Service, not the Other Payment Services. The term "Zelle®and Other Payment Services” means the Zelle®Payment Service and the Other Payment Services.
    3. The Zelle®and Other Payment Services enable you: (1) to initiate a Payment Instruction from an Eligible Transaction Account to an account at a U.S. financial institution; and/or (2) to receive a payment from another person into an Eligible Transaction Account, in U.S. dollars. All payments must be made through the Site and are subject to the terms of this Agreement and applicable laws and regulations, in each case as in effect from time to time. Receipt of payments may be made through the Site and is subject to the terms of this Agreement and applicable laws and regulations, in each case as in effect from time to time. In some instances, receipt of payments may be made through other locations besides our Site, such as the Zelle®mobile handset application ("Zelle®Standalone Locations”) and if you choose to initiate or receive a payment at a Zelle®Standalone Location you acknowledge and agree that you shall be subject to the terms of other agreements, including, but not limited to, the "terms of use” for the Zelle®Standalone Locations and applicable laws and regulations, in each case as in effect from time to time. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Zelle®and Other Payment Services are generally available 24 hours, seven days a week with the exception of outages for maintenance and circumstances beyond our or Zelle®’s control. Live customer service generally will be available Monday through Friday, excluding US financial institution holidays.
    4. The Zelle®Payment Service allows for the delivery of payments to Receivers who are also enrolled in the Zelle®Payment Service through a Payment Network designed to deliver payments on the same day and potentially within minutes, although actual speed will vary, as described below. The Zelle®and Other Payment Services are not instantaneous. Payment delivery speed may vary based upon the fraud, risk and other funds availability policy of each financial institution and Payment Network availability. We are not responsible for the performance, speed, or other acts or omissions of the Payment Networks that may be involved in the transmission of a payment. We shall not be obligated to comply with the Automated Clearinghouse (ACH) Rules in such recovery efforts or otherwise in connection with Zelle®and Other Payments unless the applicable transaction is transmitted through the ACH network. We are only responsible for delivery of the applicable Payment Instructions to the applicable Payment Network in the format required by the applicable Payment Network’s specifications.
  2. Payment Authorization and Payment Remittance.
    1. The "Eligibility" subsection of the General Terms does not apply to the Zelle®Payment Service. When you enroll to use the Zelle®Payment Service or when you permit others to whom you have delegated to act on your behalf to use or access the Zelle®Payment Service, you agree to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. You represent that you have the authority to authorize debits and credits to the enrolled bank account. In addition to the restrictions set forth in the "Prohibited Payments” subsection of the General Terms, you agree that you will not use the Zelle®and Other Payment Services to send money to anyone to whom you are obligated for tax payments, payments made pursuant to court orders (including court-ordered amounts for alimony or child support), fines, payments to loan sharks, gambling debts or payments otherwise prohibited by law, and you agree that you will not use the Zelle®and Other Payment Services to request money from anyone for any such payments. You agree that you will not authorize a third party to use the Zelle®Payment Service or share your credentials with a third party to use the Zelle®Payment Service on your behalf except in legally authorized situations such as legal guardianship or pursuant to a power of attorney.
    2. This subsection 2(b) does not apply to the Zelle®Small Business Service (to the extent made available by us). The Zelle®and Other Payment Services are intended for personal, not business or commercial use. You agree that you will not use the Zelle®and Other Payment Services to send or receive payments in connection with your business or commercial enterprise. We reserve the right to decline your enrollment if we believe that you are enrolling to use the Zelle®and Other Payment Services with your business account or to receive business or commercial payments. We further reserve the right to suspend or terminate your use of the Zelle®Payment Service if we believe that you are using the Zelle®Payment Service for business or commercial purposes, or for any unlawful purpose.
    3. You must provide us with an email address that you regularly use and intend to use regularly (i.e., no disposable email addresses) and a permanent mobile phone number that you intend to use for an extended period of time (i.e., no "burner” numbers). You may not enroll in the Service with a landline phone number, Google Voice number, or Voice over Internet Protocol. Once enrolled, you may: (i) authorize a debit of your account to send money to another User either at your initiation or at the request of that User; and (ii) receive money from another User either at that User’s initiation or at your request, subject to the conditions of the Section below titled "Requesting Payments.” If at any time while you are enrolled, you do not send or receive money using the Zelle®Payment Service for a period of 18 consecutive months, then you understand that we may cancel your enrollment and you will not be able to send or receive money with the Zelle®Payment Service until you enroll again. Once enrolled, a Z logo will appear on your profile picture for each U.S. mobile number and/or email address that you have enrolled with Zelle®. The Z logo will be displayed to other Users to aid them in determining which of your U.S mobile numbers or email addresses should be used to send money with Zelle®. If a User sends you money using a different U.S. mobile number or email address that they may have for you (one that is not already enrolled), you will receive a message with instructions on how to enroll with Zelle®.
    4. When you enroll with Zelle®, you may establish one or more profiles. Each profile may be linked to only one bank account or debit card, but you may enroll multiple email addresses or mobile phone numbers in each profile. Once you have enrolled an email address or a mobile phone number with a profile, you may not use that same email address or phone number with any other profile. By providing us with names and mobile telephone numbers and/or email addresses of Receivers to whom you wish to direct payments, you authorize us to follow the Payment Instructions that we receive through the Zelle®Payment Service. By providing us with names, bank account information and other contact information for Receivers to whom you wish to direct a payment via the Other Payment Service, you authorize us to follow the Payment Instructions that we receive via the Other Payment Services. Once enrolled, you authorize us to credit your Eligible Transaction Account for payments remitted to you on behalf of a Sender without further approval from you.
    5. When we receive a Payment Instruction from you, you authorize us to debit your Eligible Transaction Account for the amount of any such Payment Instruction plus any related fees in effect (and as disclosed on the Site) at the time you initiate the Payment Instruction, and to remit funds on your behalf. You acknowledge and agree that any applicable fees will be charged when we receive a Payment Instruction from you, regardless of whether the Payment Instruction is ultimately completed. You also authorize us to credit your Eligible Transaction Account for the receipt of payments, including, but not limited to, those payments returned to us from Receivers to whom you sent payment(s) and those payments that were cancelled and returned to you because the processing of the Payment Instruction could not be completed.
    6. You agree that we will not be liable in any way for any payments that you may receive, regardless of whether you authorized the Sender to send them to you.
    7. We will use reasonable efforts to complete all your Payment Instructions properly. However, we shall incur no liability if we are unable to complete any transaction because of the existence of any one or more of the following circumstances:
      1. If, through no fault of ours, the Eligible Transaction Account does not contain sufficient funds to complete the Payment Instruction or the Payment Instruction would exceed the credit limit of your overdraft account;
      2. The Zelle®and Other Payment Services are not working properly and you know or have been advised by us about the malfunction before you execute the Payment Instruction;
      3. The payment is refused as described in Section 6 of the Zelle®and Other Payment Terms below;
      4. You have not provided us with the correct information, including, but not limited to, the correct Payment Instructions or Eligible Transaction Account information, or the correct name and address or mobile phone number of the Receiver to whom you are initiating a Payment Instruction; and/or,
      5. Circumstances beyond our control (such as, but not limited to, fire, flood, network or system down time, issues with the financial institution, or interference from an outside force) prevent the proper execution of the Payment Instruction.
    8. It is the responsibility of the Sender and the Receiver to ensure the accuracy of any information that they enter into the Zelle®and Other Payment Services (including, but not limited to, the Payment Instructions and name, telephone number and/or email address for the Receiver to whom you are attempting to send a payment), and for informing us as soon as possible if they become aware that this information is inaccurate. We will make a reasonable effort to stop or recover a payment made to the wrong person or entity once informed, but we do not guarantee such stoppage or recovery and will bear no responsibility or liability for damages resulting from incorrect information entered by the Sender or Receiver.
  3. Sending Payments.
    1. You may send money to another User at your initiation or in response to that User’s request for money. You understand that use of the Zelle®and Other Payment Services by you shall at all times be subject to (i) this Agreement, and (ii) your express authorization at the time of the transaction for us or another Network Financial Institution to initiate a debit entry to your bank account. By sending money via Zelle®, you agree that you have confirmed the recipient’s contact information and are sending money to someone you personally know and trust.You understand that when you send the payment, you will have no ability to stop it. When a Sender initiates a Payment Instruction, the Receiver is not required to accept the payment if the Receiver has not enrolled in Zelle®. You agree that you as a Sender will not hold us liable for any damages resulting from a Receiver not enrolling in Zelle®. For the Zelle®Payment Service, you may only cancel a payment if the person to whom you sent the money has not yet enrolled in the Zelle®Payment Service. As to the Zelle®Payment Service, if the person you sent money to has already enrolled with Zelle®, either in the Zelle®Standalone Locations or with a Network Financial Institution, then the money is sent directly to their bank account (except as otherwise provided below) and may not be canceled or revoked. Cancellation is addressed more generally in subsection 6 (Payment Cancellation, Stop Payment Requests and Refused Payments) below. You may initiate a one-time Payment Instruction to a Receiver for which processing shall be initiated immediately via Zelle®. Via the Other Payment Services, you may also initiate (a) a one-time Payment Instruction to a Receiver for which processing shall be initiated at a later specified date up to one (1) year, and (b) a recurring series of Payment Instructions to a Receiver for which processing shall be initiated on the specified dates. Further details about each of these options can be found on the Site.
    2. Payment Instructions initiated to Receivers require you to provide contact information about the Receiver (including an email address and/or mobile telephone number). If the Receiver does not bank at a Network Financial Institution and has not yet enrolled in Zelle®, then the Zelle®Payment Service will contact the Receiver and request that the Receiver (i) provide information so that the identity of the Receiver may be validated at a Zelle®Standalone Location and then (ii) provide Eligible Transaction Account information in order to complete the Payment Instruction (a "Two-Step Transfer”). If the Receiver maintains an Eligible Transaction Account with a Network Financial Institution and has not yet enrolled in Zelle®, then the Zelle®Payment Service will contact the Receiver regarding enrollment in Zelle®and receipt of payment. If the Receiver has already enrolled in Zelle®, then the Receiver will receive a message regarding your payment.
    3. Via the Other Payment Services, we also support the sending of money to Receivers if you provide the Eligible Transaction Account information for the Receiver and other contact information for the Receiver; such transactions are not sent via Zelle®. You acknowledge and agree that if your Payment Instructions identify an account by name and account number, the relevant financial institution may execute those Payment Instructions by reference to the account number only, even if such account number does not correspond to the account name. You further acknowledge and agree that financial institutions holding the account may choose to not investigate discrepancies between account names and account numbers. We have no responsibility to investigate discrepancies between account names and account numbers, outside of our obligations under the law to investigate errors, described in the "Errors, Questions, and Complaints” subsection of the General Terms.
    4. In most cases, when you are sending money to another User using the Zelle®Payment Service, the transfer will occur in minutes; however, there are circumstances when the payment may take longer. For example, in order to protect you, us, Zelle®and the other Network Financial Institutions, we may need additional time to verify your identity or the identity of the person receiving the money. If you are sending money to someone who has not enrolled as a User with Zelle®, either via a Zelle®Standalone Location or a Network Financial Institution, they will receive a text or email notification instructing them on how to enroll to receive the money. You understand and acknowledge that a person to whom you are sending money and who is not enrolling as a User may fail to enroll with Zelle®, or otherwise ignore the payment notification, and the transfer may not occur. The money may also be delayed or the transfer may be blocked to prevent fraud or comply with regulatory requirements. If we delay or block a payment that you have initiated, we will notify you in accordance with your User preferences (i.e., email, push notification). We have no control over the actions of other Users, other Network Financial Institutions or other financial institutions that could delay or prevent your money from being delivered to the intended User.
    5. For the Other Payment Services and those Zelle®Payment Service payments where the Site indicates payment will require more than a Business Day, you understand and agree that when you initiate a Payment Instruction from an Eligible Transaction Account, the processing of the Payment Instruction will begin and the debiting of your Eligible Transaction Account will occur as early as the day of such initiation. However, you and the Receiver should not expect the payment funds to be transferred into the Receiver's Eligible Transaction Account any earlier than the next Business Day after you initiated the Payment Instruction. As part of the Other Payment Services, if you request a one-time Payment Instruction to be initiated on a specified date or a recurring series of Payment Instruction to be initiated on specified dates, then the processing of the Payment Instruction will begin on the specified date and the debiting of your Eligible Transaction Account will occur as early as the specified date(s). However, you and the Receiver should not expect the payment funds to be transferred into the Receiver’s Eligible Transaction Account any earlier than the next Business Day following the specified date. In addition, in the case of all Two-Step Transfers, the deposit of the payment funds into the Receiver’s Eligible Transaction Account (even if debited or withdrawn from your Eligible Transaction Account) may be delayed if the Receiver has not enrolled in Zelle®. The Site may contain additional information regarding the delivery of a payment to an Eligible Transaction Account.
    6. As to Recipients who have not yet enrolled with Zelle®, you acknowledge and agree that we will begin to process the requested transfer of funds once the Receiver has provided (or we otherwise obtain) all required information, and you hereby authorize and direct us to retain such funds until the earlier of such time as the Receiver has provided (or we otherwise obtain) all required information or fourteen (14) days have elapsed. You further acknowledge and agree that our receipt of money to be transmitted to a Receiver shall not be deemed to have occurred and our obligation to complete a Payment Instruction shall not begin until such time as the Receiver provides us with (or we otherwise obtain) all required information necessary to process the related Payment Instruction in accordance with this Agreement.
  4. Receiving Payments.
    1. All transfers of money to you shall be performed by a Network Financial Institution per the direction of that Network Financial Institution customer and at all times subject to the terms and conditions of the relevant service agreement between that Network Financial Institution and its customer, including without limitation any restrictions or prohibitions on permissible transactions. Once a User initiates a transfer of money to your email address, mobile phone number, or Zelle®tag enrolled with the Zelle®Payment Service, you have no ability to stop the transfer. Other Payment Service payments may be cancelled by the Sender as set forth in subsection 6 (Payment Cancellation, Stop Payment Requests and Refused Payments) below. By using the Zelle®Payment Service, you agree and authorize us to initiate credit entries to the bank account you have enrolled. If another person wants to initiate a Payment Instruction (including in response to a Zelle®Payment Request, if applicable) using the Zelle®Payment Service to an Eligible Transaction Account you hold or, as applicable, if you as a Requestor want to initiate a Zelle®Payment Request, he, she or you can do that from the Site or from an Eligible Transaction Account at a financial institution that participates in the Zelle®Payment Service or at a Zelle®Standalone Location. If you are receiving a payment from a business or government agency, your payment will be delivered in accordance with both this Agreement and the procedures of the business or government agency that is sending you the payment.
    2. For the Zelle®Payment Service, most transfers of money to you from other Users will occur within minutes. There may be other circumstances when the payment may take longer. For example, in order to protect you, us, Zelle®and the other Network Financial Institutions, we may need or Zelle®may need additional time to verify your identity or the identity of the person sending the money. We may also delay or block the transfer to prevent fraud or to meet our regulatory obligations. If we delay or block a payment that you have initiated through a request for money, we will notify you in accordance with your User preferences (i.e., email, push notification). You understand and agree that there may be a delay between the time you are notified of the pending Payment Instruction and the deposit of the payment funds into your Eligible Transaction Account, and you may be required to take additional steps to facilitate the deposit of the payment of funds into your Eligible Transaction Account, such as if we have questions regarding possible fraud in connection with the payment. You authorize the Sender, the financial institution which holds the Sender's Eligible Transaction Account and us (including through the Site) to send emails to you and text messages to your mobile phone in connection with the Sender's initiation of Payment Instructions to you, and, as a Receiver, you may receive Zelle®Payment Requests, from others through the Zelle®Payment Service.
    3. You acknowledge and agree that in the event that funds are transferred into your Eligible Transaction Account as a result of a Payment Instruction and it is determined that such transfer was improper because it was not authorized by the sender, because there were not sufficient funds in the sender's account, or for any other reason, then you hereby authorize us or our Service Provider to withdraw from your Eligible Transaction Account an amount equal to the amount of funds improperly transferred to you.
  5. Requesting Payments. You may request money from another User through a Zelle® Payment Request. You understand and acknowledge that Users to whom you send payment requests may reject or ignore your request. Neither we nor Zelle® guarantee that you will receive money from other Users by sending a Zelle® Payment Request, or that you will receive the amount that you request. Neither we nor Zelle® accept responsibility if the other User rejects or ignores your request, or sends you an amount that is less than you request. If a User ignores your request, we may decide or Zelle® may decide, in our sole discretion, that we will not send a reminder or repeat request to that User.

    In addition to the other restrictions in this Agreement, by accepting this Agreement, you agree that you are not engaging in the business of debt collection by attempting to use the Zelle® Payment Service to request money for the payment or collection of an overdue or delinquent debt; to request money that is owed to another person; or to collect any amounts that are owed pursuant to a court order. You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Zelle®, its owners, directors, officers, agents and Network Financial Institutions from and against all claims, losses, expenses, damages and costs (including, but not limited to, direct, incidental, consequential, exemplary and indirect damages), and reasonable attorney's fees, resulting from or arising out of any Zelle® Payment Request that you send that is related to overdue or delinquent amounts. You agree to receive Zelle® Payment Requests from other Users, and to only send Zelle® Payment Requests for legitimate and lawful purposes. Zelle® Payment Requests are solely between the Requestor and recipient and are not reviewed or verified by us or by Zelle®. Neither we nor Zelle® assume responsibility for the accuracy or legality of such requests and do not act as a debt collector on your behalf or on behalf of the Requestor. We reserve the right, but assume no obligation, to terminate your ability to send Zelle® Payment Requests in general, or to specific recipients, if we deem such Zelle® Payment Requests to be potentially unlawful, abusive, offensive or unwelcome by the recipient.

    If applicable, if you as a Requestor initiate a Zelle® Payment Request using the Zelle® Payment Service, you acknowledge and agree that as disclosed on the Site (a) the applicable service fee will be deducted from payments received by you from a Sender(s), and (b) no service fee will be charged if you as the Requestor do not receive any payments from the individuals to whom the Zelle® Payment Request is sent. Further details about the foregoing can be found on the Site. You acknowledge and agree that individuals to whom you send a Zelle® Payment Request may not receive, or otherwise may reject or ignore, your Zelle® Payment Request. We do not guarantee that you will receive any payments from individuals by initiating a Zelle® Payment Request.

    Zelle® Small Business Service Users may not send Zelle® Payment Requests to Users enrolled with Zelle® through Zelle® Standalone Locations.
  6. Payment Cancellation, Stop Payment Requests and Refused Payments. This Section only applies to the Other Payment Services and those Zelle® Payment Services transactions that can be cancelled in the limited circumstances set forth in subsection 3(a) (Sending Payments) above. Sender may cancel the initiation of a Payment Instruction or stop a Payment Instruction at any time until the processing of the Payment Instruction into the Receiver’s Eligible Transaction Account has begun. Our ability to stop a Payment Instruction or recover funds associated with an unauthorized Payment Instruction will depend on the manner in which the Payment Instruction was initiated, and whether the Payment Instruction to the Receiver’s Eligible Transaction Account has begun processing. Although we will make a reasonable effort to accommodate a stop payment request and to recover funds associated with an unauthorized Payment Instruction, we will have no liability for failing to do so. We may also require you to present your stop payment request or request to recover funds in writing within fourteen (14) days after contacting customer care. If we charge you to stop the payment or recover funds, then the charge for each stop payment or fund recovery request will be the current charge as set out in our current fee schedule. Payments not claimed by a Receiver who has not enrolled in Zelle® will be automatically cancelled fourteen (14) days after the processing of the payment begins. We will, to the extent permitted by law, make reasonable attempts to return any unclaimed, refused, refunded, prohibited, or denied payment to your Eligible Transaction Account or use other reasonable efforts to return such payment to you as permitted by law.
  7. Consent to Emails and Automated Text Messages. The "Text Messages, Calls and/or Emails to You” subsection of the General Terms does not apply to Zelle® Payment Services. By participating as a User, you represent that you are the owner of the email address, mobile phone number, Zelle® tag and/or other alias you enrolled, or that you have the delegated legal authority to act on behalf of the owner of such email address, mobile phone number, Zelle® tag and/or other alias to send or receive money as described in these Zelle® and Other Payment Terms. You consent to the receipt of emails or text messages from us, from Zelle®, from other Users that are sending you money or requesting money from you, and from other Network Financial Institutions or their agents regarding the Zelle® and Other Payment Services or related transfers between Network Financial Institutions and you. You agree that we may, Zelle® may or either of our agents may use automatic telephone dialing systems in connection with text messages sent to any mobile phone number you enroll. You further acknowledge and agree:
    1. You are responsible for any fees or other charges that your wireless carrier may charge for any related data, text or other message services, including without limitation for short message service. Please check your mobile service agreement for details or applicable fees, as message and data rates may apply.
    2. You will immediately notify us if any email address or mobile number you have enrolled is (i) surrendered by you, or (ii) changed by you.
    3. In the case of any messages that you may send through either us or Zelle® or that we may send or Zelle® may send on your behalf to an email address or mobile phone number, you represent that you have obtained the consent of the recipient of such emails or automated text messages to send such emails or text messages to the recipient. You understand and agree that any emails or text messages that we send or that Zelle® sends on your behalf may include your name.
    4. Your wireless carrier is not liable for any delay or failure to deliver any message sent to or from us or Zelle®, including messages that you may send through us or through Zelle® or that we may send or Zelle® may send on your behalf.
    5. To cancel text messaging from us, send STOP to 767666. For help or information regarding text messaging, send HELP to 767666 or contact our Member Service Contact Center at 1-877-GOLDEN 1 (1-877-465-3361) or visit golden1.com. You expressly consent to receipt of a text message to confirm your "STOP” request.
    6. Supported Carriers: AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon and others.
    7. Your phone service provider is not the provider of the Zelle® and Other Payment Services. Users of the Zelle® Payment Service will receive text messages relating to their Payment Instructions and other notices from time to time if a mobile phone number is provided. Data and messaging charges from your telecommunications provider may apply, and you are responsible for any such charges. In the event your enrolled mobile device is lost or stolen, you agree to update your enrollment information and make the appropriate changes to disable the use of such device. You understand that there are risks associated with using a mobile device, and that in the event of theft or loss, your confidential information could be compromised.
  8. Service Fees and Additional Charges. You are responsible for paying all fees associated with your use of the Zelle® and Other Payment Services. Applicable fees will be disclosed in the user interface for, or elsewhere within, the Zelle® and Other Payment Services or Site. Additional fees may apply for small business Users enrolled in the Zelle® Small Business Service. YOU FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT ANY APPLICABLE FEES WILL BE CHARGED REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE PAYMENT INSTRUCTION IS COMPLETED, UNLESS THE FAILURE TO COMPLETE THE INSTRUCTION IS SOLELY DUE TO OUR FAULT, except for those fees that are specifically use-based, such as Zelle® Payment Requests, if applicable. There may be a charge for additional transactions and other optional services. You agree to pay such charges and authorize us to deduct the calculated amount from your designated Eligible Transaction Account for these amounts and any additional charges that may be incurred by you. Any financial fees associated with your standard deposit accounts (or Other Eligible Transaction Accounts) will continue to apply. You are responsible for any and all telephone access fees and Internet service fees that may be assessed by your telephone and Internet service provider. The "Failed Or Returned Payment Instructions” subsection of the General Termsapplies if you do not pay our fees and charges for the Zelle® and Other Payment Services, including without limitation if we debit the Eligible Transaction Account for such fees, as described in this Section, and there are insufficient fees in the Eligible Transaction Account.
  9. Refused Payments. We reserve the right to refuse to pay any Receiver. We will attempt to notify the Sender promptly if we decide to refuse to pay a Receiver designated by the Sender. This notification is not required if you attempt to make a prohibited payment under this Agreement.
  10. Returned Payments. In using the Zelle® and Other Payment Services, you understand that Receivers may reject Payment Instructions or otherwise return payments only if the Receiver is not enrolled in Zelle®. We will use reasonable efforts to complete Payment Instructions initiated through the Zelle® Payment Service.
  11. Consent to Share Personal Information (Including Account Information). In addition to the "Information Authorization” subsection of the General Terms, by accepting this Agreement, you consent to our disclosure of your personal information (including bank account information) as necessary to complete payment transactions in accordance with our customary processes and procedures, which may include, without limitation, the following:
    1. As necessary to resolve a problem related to a transfer or payment between you and another User;
    2. To verify the existence of your bank account, or debit card, as applicable;
    3. To comply with government agency or court orders;
    4. To our affiliates, as permitted by law;
    5. To verify your identity for purposes of compliance with applicable laws, including without limitation the USA PATRIOT Act;
    6. To comply with inquiries in connection with fraud prevention or any investigation;
    7. For our general business purposes, including without limitation data analysis and audits; or
    8. As otherwise permitted by the terms of our Privacy Policy or CCPA Privacy Notice.
  12. Wireless Operator Data. In addition to the "Information Authorization" subsection of the General Terms, you acknowledge that we or Zelle® may use information on file with your wireless operator to further verify your identity and to protect against or prevent actual or potential fraud or unauthorized use of the Service. By using the Zelle® Payment Service, you authorize your wireless operator (AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, US Cellular, Verizon, or any other branded wireless operator) to disclose your mobile number, name, address, email, network status, customer type, customer role, billing type, mobile device identifiers (IMSI and IMEI) and other subscriber status and device details, if available, to us or our Service Providers solely to allow verification of your identity and to compare information you have provided to us or to Zelle® with your wireless operator account profile information for the duration of our business relationship. See Zelle®’s Privacy Policy at https://www.zellepay.com/privacy-policy for how it treats your data. Please review our Privacy Policy in order to better understand our commitment to maintaining your privacy, as well as our use and disclosure of your information.
  13. Liability. Subject to our obligations under applicable laws and regulations, neither we nor Zelle® shall have liability to you for any transfers of money, including without limitation, (i) any failure, through no fault of us or Zelle® to complete a transaction in the correct amount, or (ii) any related losses or damages. Neither we nor Zelle® shall be liable for any typos or keystroke errors that you may make when using the Zelle® Payment Service. THE SERVICE IS INTENDED FOR SENDING MONEY TO FAMILY, FRIENDS AND OTHERS WHOM YOU TRUST. YOU SHOULD NOT USE Zelle® TO SEND MONEY TO PERSONS WITH WHOM YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR OR YOU DO NOT TRUST. ZELLE® DOES NOT OFFER A PROTECTION PROGRAM FOR AUTHORIZED PAYMENTS MADE THROUGH THE SERVICE (FOR Example, if you do not receive the goods or services that you paid for, or the goods or services that you received are damaged or are otherwise not what you expected).
  14. Disclaimer of Warranties. The "Exclusions of Warranties” subsection of the General Terms does not apply to Zelle® Payment Services. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED HEREIN, AND SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER GOLDEN 1 NOR ZELLE® MAKES ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS OR ENDORSEMENTS WHATSOEVER WITH RESPECT TO THE ZELLE® PAYMENT SERVICE. GOLDEN 1 AND ZELLE® EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, WITH REGARD TO THE ZELLE® PAYMENT SERVICE DESCRIBED OR PROVIDED. ZELLE® DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE ZELLE® PAYMENT SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, INVULNERABLE TO CYBER ATTACK OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED. THE ZELLE® PAYMENT SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS” AND "AS AVAILABLE” BASIS.
  15. Limitation of Liability. The "Limitation of Liability” subsection of the General Terms does not apply to Zelle® Payment Services. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED HEREIN AND SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WE, ZELLE®, ITS OWNERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AGENTS OR NETWORK FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY DIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR OTHER INDIRECT DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF (I) ANY TRANSACTION CONDUCTED THROUGH OR FACILITATED BY THE ZELLE® PAYMENT SERVICE; (II) ANY CLAIM ATTRIBUTABLE TO ERRORS, OMISSIONS, OR OTHER INACCURACIES IN THE ZELLE® PAYMENT SERVICES DESCRIBED OR PROVIDED; (III) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR ALTERATION OF YOUR TRANSMISSIONS OR DATA; OR (IV) ANY OTHER MATTER RELATING TO THE ZELLE® PAYMENT SERVICES DESCRIBED OR PROVIDED, EVEN IF WE OR ZELLE® HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH THE ZELLE® PAYMENT SERVICE OR WITH THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS TO DISCONTINUE USING THE ZELLE® PAYMENT SERVICES.

    IN THOSE STATES WHERE THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES MAY NOT APPLY, ANY LIABILITY OF OURS, ZELLE®, ITS OWNERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND AGENTS OR THE NETWORK FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS LIABILITY IN THOSE STATES IS LIMITED AND WARRANTIES ARE EXCLUDED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BUT SHALL, IN NO EVENT, EXCEED ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100.00).

You acknowledge and agree that you are personally responsible for your conduct while using the Zelle® Payment Service and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Zelle®, its owners, directors, officers, agents and Network Financial Institutions from and against all claims, losses, expenses, damages and costs (including, but not limited to, direct, incidental, consequential, exemplary and indirect damages), and reasonable attorney’s fees, resulting from or arising out of your use, misuse, errors or inability to use the Zelle® Payment Service, or any violation by you of the terms of this Agreement.
  17. Use of Our Online Banking Site and/or Mobile App. You agree to access the Site in compliance with our terms and conditions that we make available elsewhere on the Site, which are incorporated into and made part of this Agreement by this reference.
  18. Your Liability for Unauthorized Transfers.

Immediately following your discovery of an unauthorized Zelle® Payment Service Payment Instruction, you shall communicate with customer care in the manner set forth in the "Notices to Us” subsection of the General Terms. You acknowledge and agree that time is of the essence in such situations. The best way to minimize your loss is to call us immediately. You will have no liability for unauthorized transactions if you notify us within sixty (60) days after your monthly financial institution statement which first shows the unauthorized transaction has been sent to you. If you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after the statement was sent to you, you may lose any amount transferred without your authorization after the sixty (60) days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money had you told us in time. If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) prevented you from telling us, we will extend the time periods specified above to a reasonable period.

    When you give someone your password or other means to access your account through which you access the Zelle® and Other Payment Services, you are authorizing that person to use your service. You are responsible for all transactions that person performs while using your service and we will consider all transactions that person performs, even those transactions you did not intend or want performed, to be authorized transactions, to the extent permitted by law. Additionally, transactions that you or someone acting with you initiates with fraudulent intent are also authorized transactions.

    Note: These liability rules only apply to Eligible Transaction Accounts used for personal, family and household purposes.

You agree that only your mobile service provider is responsible for its products and services, and you also agree to resolve any issues or problems you may have with your provider directly with the provider without involving us. You agree to review your account disclosures carefully, as they may include transaction limitations and fees which may apply to your use of Mobile Banking.

You will only submit Items for processing to us that meet the definition of "Item" below and will ensure the Items scanned meet the industry file format standard for image quality, or other standards established by us, regulatory agency, clearing house, association, or applicable law. The image of any Item must be legible.
    2. You will not process any Non-Qualifying Items. The processing of any Non-Qualifying Items by us shall not constitute a waiver by us or obligate us to process such Non-Qualifying Items in the future. We may discontinue processing of Non-Qualifying Items at any time, without cause or prior notice.
    3. You will only use the Mobile Deposit Service for your own purposes in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this section ("Mobile Deposit Terms and Conditions").

    4. You will not attempt to scan and transmit to us any previously truncated and reconverted Substitute Check. Any previously truncated and reconverted Substitute Check must be physically deposited with us. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may redeposit any returned Substitute Check or Image Exchange Item consistent with the terms of these Mobile Deposit Terms and Conditions.

    8. You understand and acknowledge that transmitting an Item does not mean we received the Item. You shall be responsible for verifying our receipt of your transmission(s) by verifying that deposits have been posted to the appropriate Accounts, in addition to cooperating in any investigation and resolving any unsuccessful or lost transmission with us. We are not responsible for Items we do not receive or for images dropped during transmission.

You agree to notify us immediately if you become aware of any loss or theft of, or any unauthorized use of the Mobile Deposit Service.

You will not electronically present items exceeding the limitations established by us for the Mobile Deposit Service, in our sole discretion.

    5. We shall be excused from failing to act or delay in acting if such failure or delay is caused by legal constraint, interruption of transmission, or communication facilities, equipment failure, war, emergency conditions or other circumstances beyond our control. In the event of any of the foregoing failures or delays, you acknowledge you may instead deposit directly with us any Original Items for processing and presentment provided such Original Items have not been previously imaged and processed in connection with the Mobile Deposit Service. In addition, we shall be excused from failing to transmit or delay in transmitting an Item for presentment if such transmittal would result in us having exceeded any limitation upon our intraday net funds position established pursuant to the Federal Reserve guidelines or if we are otherwise violating any provision of any risk control program of the Federal Reserve or any rule or regulation of any other U.S. governmental regulatory authority.

    8. We will provisionally accept for deposit to the designated Account Items that are transmitted to us in compliance with this Agreement.
