Payments not on the pending screen cannot be stopped.
* Use the Web Teller Message Center to receive and send messages.
* Use the View Payment History feature to review payments over a specific time period, not to exceed 90 (ninety) days. 

All payments will be processed against your share draft checking account.

You authorize us to use Central Corporate Credit Union or its authorized agents to provide the Service to you on our behalf.

Payment of taxes or court directed payments via the Service is prohibited.

Funds will arrive at your targeted payee as close as reasonably possible to the date designated by you in your payment instruction (Payment Date). Subject to the Terms, Conditions, and Disclosures set forth in this Agreement, you authorize us, and any third party acting on our behalf, to choose the most effective method to process your payment, including without limitation, electronic, paper or other means. For each properly instructed payment to an eligible payee you will receive a transaction accepted message.

The Payment Date indicated by you must always be a business day (as previously defined). If it is not, the Payment Date will be deemed to be the first business day following the date indicated. 

Unless you receive a completion notice that the transaction was accepted successfully, we will not be liable for any failure to make a payment, including any finance charges or late fees incurred as a result. Your Payment Date should always be on or before the Payee Due Date, not the Late Date or Grace Period. Since the time for us to process your payment varies according to the particular payee, you must become familiar with the payment processing time for each payee you desire to pay, allowing the appropriate number of business days between the days you input your payment instruction and the Payment Date. Subject to the limitation discussed below, if you follow the procedures described in the agreement for payments, and you are assessed a penalty or late charge, we will reimburse you for that late charge or penalty up to a maximum of fifty dollars ($50.00). We will not be liable with regard to any Deposit Account or the Service, for instance, if: through no fault of ours, you do not have enough available funds in your Deposit Account to make the payment or transfer or the payment or transfer would exceed permitted overdraft protection you have with us; circumstances beyond our control (such as fire, flood, water damage, power failure, strike, labor dispute, computer breakdown, telephone line disruption, or a natural disaster) prevent or delay the transaction despite reasonable precautions taken by us; your computer, the telephone lines, or the credit union's computer systems were not working properly or were temporarily unavailable, and this problem should have been apparent to you when you attempted the transfer or; the funds in your Deposit Account are subject to legal process, an uncollected funds hold, or are otherwise not available for withdrawal; the information supplied by you or a third party involving the Deposit Account, Payment or Transfer, is incorrect, incomplete, or untimely; we have a reasonable basis for believing that unauthorized use of your User ID, Password, or PIN, or account has occurred or may be occurring; the payee does not process a Payment promptly or correctly, or for any other reason specified in this Agreement.

You agree to allow at least 6 (six) Business Days between the Initiation Day, if the Payment will be completed by check, and the Payment due date or date you wish the payee to receive the Payment. You must allow at least 3 (three) Business Days between the Initiation Day you schedule a Payment to be initiated, if the Payment will be completed by electronic transfer, and the Payment due date or date you wish the Payee to receive the Payment.

In the event that you do not comply with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, or in the event that your payment instruction is not made in time for us to process your payment prior to the Due Date required by a particular Payee, you will be liable for all penalties and late fees imposed, and we will not be liable for any such penalties or fees.

Without limiting the foregoing the credit union shall also not be liable for late charges, interest, penalties, or other amounts incurred by any depositor for the depositor's failure to allow sufficient time for processing and delivery of any payment(s) so long as the credit union has complied with the provisions of this Agreement.

Unless otherwise required by Law, the credit union will not be liable to you under any circumstances for special, indirect, or consequential damages, including, without limitation, lost profits or attorneys' fees, even if we are advised in advance of the possibility of such damages.

We reserve the right to refuse to make any payment, but will notify you of any such refusal within two (2) business days following receipt of your payment instructions.

Service Availability

The Service is generally available any time, day or night, seven days a week, by signing on to the Service and entering your User ID and Password. You may sign in initially by using your Primary Member Number and the last four digits of your Social Security number, but you must select, and thereafter, use, a User ID and Password created by you.

The Service may be unavailable from time to time for scheduled maintenance. There may also be unscheduled down time, but we will work to minimize such interruptions in Service.

Electronic Mail

Regular Electronic Mail (E-Mail) communications may not be secure. We, therefore, request that you do not send us or ask for sensitive information via any E-Mail system. If you wish to contact us electronically, please use the Web Teller Message Center located on Web Teller.

You agree that Gerber Federal Credit Union may respond to you by use of the Gerber Credit Union Web Teller Message Center with regard to any matter related to the Service, including responding to any claim of unauthorized electronic funds transfer. 

Limitation

Under no circumstances will we be liable if we are unable to complete any payments initiated in a timely manner via the Services because of the existence of any one or more of the following:

* You have closed the designated Account, or have been removed as a joint owner
* We have identified you as a credit risk and have chosen to initiate your payments by using a paper draft rather than electronic payment remittance
* Due to mismanagement of the Account we have terminated your subscription to the Service
* You have not provided us with the correct information for those payees to whom you wish to direct payment

Insufficient Funds and Suspension of Service

In the event we are unable to process a Web Teller with Bill Payment check or electronic payment, the transaction will result as a Non-Sufficient Funds. In such event, we will charge all related service fees to you. In the event of repetitive Non-Sufficient Funds, we reserve the right to suspend your subscription to the Service. This suspension may be without prior notice to you. If your subscription is suspended, transactions that were previously initiated may still continue to be processed unless cancelled and confirmation of such cancellation is provided. The decision to suspend Service is determined by Gerber Federal Credit Union and all inquiries and correspondence relating thereto, including requests for reinstatement, should be directed to Gerber Federal Credit Union. If your Service is suspended we will notify you by mail at your address on file.

Gerber Federal Credit Union is under no obligation to notify you if it does not complete a transfer because there are insufficient funds in your account to process a transaction. In all cases, you are responsible for either making alternate arrangements for the transfer or for rescheduling the transfer through the Service.

With respect to any negative balance caused by honoring either a paper or electronic payment, you agree to reimburse us immediately after notice is sent to you, for any funds we have already paid to one or more of your designated Payees which we were unable to recover by debit to the Payee.

If you do not pay any amount owed to us when due, we have the right and you agree to pay interest on the unpaid balance at the rate of 18% per annum (or the maximum rate allowed by applicable law if less). In the event that your claim or debt has to be referred to a third party for collection, you agree, to the extent permitted by law, to pay all costs and fees incurred in collecting the outstanding balances, including reasonable attorney fees and court costs.

Restrictions and Fees on transfer from Certain Deposit Accounts

Each transfer through the Service from a savings or money market account is counted as one of the limited transactions permitted each statement cycle period i.e. 6 (six) per month for savings and money markets, as described in the "Membership and Account Agreement" and "Rate and Fee Schedule". Transfers are not permitted to or from Share Certificates, IRA Certificates, or IRA Savings.

Disclosure of Account Information

We will disclose information to third parties about your account or the transactions you make: (i) where it is necessary or helpful for completing a transaction; (ii) in order to verify the existence and condition of your account for a third party, such as a credit bureau or payee, (iii) in order to comply with reporting or other legal requirements (including, for example, legal process); (iv) if you give us your permission; and (v) as otherwise permitted by Law.

Your Liability for Unauthorized Transfers

If you believe your User Log-on and Password has been lost or stolen, you should request Gerber Federal Credit Union change your Password immediately.

Tell us at once if you believe your statement, account or transaction information, or security information has been lost, stolen or compromised. Calling is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. 

You could lose all the money in your account, as well as your maximum overdraft line of credit if applicable. If you tell us within two (2) business days, you can lose no more than fifty dollars ($50.00) if someone used your security information without your permission.

If you do not tell us within two business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your security information, and we can prove we could have stopped someone form using your security information without your permission if you had notified us, you could lose as much as five hundred dollars ($500.00).

If your statement shows transfers that you did not make, tell us at once. If we do not receive notification from you within sixty (60) calendar days after the statement date, you may not be entitled to any type of account re-credit for lost funds.

We will investigate your complaint and will correct any error promptly. If we take more than 10 (ten) business days to do this, we will re-credit your account for the amount you think is in error so that you will have use of the money during the time it takes us to complete our investigation. If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 (forty-five) calendar days to investigate your complaint or question. If we ask you to put your complaint or question in writing and we do not receive it within 10 (ten) Business Days, we may not provisionally credit your account. If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation within 3 (three) Business Days after we finish our investigation. You may ask for copies of the documents we used in our investigation.

Note: The 10 (ten) Business day and 45 (forty-five) day rules discussed above are extended to 20 (twenty) business days and 90 (ninety) days respectively; if a notice of error involves an electronic fund transfer that was not initiated within the state.

As a member using Web Teller or Web Teller with Bill Payment, you agree that the credit union may respond to you by using the Web Teller Message Center with regard to any claim, error, unauthorized electronic funds transfer or any question related to the Services.
