Mobile Check Deposit Services Agreement

This Mobile Check Deposit Services Agreement ("Agreement") contains the terms and conditions for the use of Saratoga National Bank and Trust Company (the "Bank") Mobile Check Deposit Services ("Services"). In this Agreement, the terms Bank or its affiliates may be referred to as ("Bank", "us," or "we") and you may be referred to as ("you" or "User").

Mobile Check Deposit ("Mobile Deposit") is designed to allow you to make deposits of checks ("original checks") to your accounts from home or other remote locations by capturing the original checks on your mobile device and delivering the digital images and associated deposit information ("images") to us or our processor with your mobile device.

All requirements and obligations in the Deposit Account Agreement relating to checks are applicable to your use of Mobile Deposit, including the Funds Availability Disclosure. You must be enrolled in both Internet and Mobile Banking services to use Mobile Deposit. Mobile Deposit is a convenience. We reserve the right to discontinue your use of Mobile Deposit for any or no reason at our discretion.

Limits: We establish limits that apply to the dollar amount of checks that may be deposited using Mobile Deposit both on a Business-Day Daily Limit basis and on a Calendar-Day Monthly Limit basis. We reserve the right to modify such limits from time to time or to impose different limits at our discretion. If you attempt to initiate a deposit in excess of the limits we establish, we may reject your deposit. If we permit you to make a deposit in excess of these limits, such deposit will still be subject to the terms of this Agreement, and we will not be obligated to allow any future deposits to exceed these limits.

Eligible items: You agree to capture and deposit through your mobile device only checks payable on demand (i.e., drafts drawn on United States financial institutions only; this includes banks, credit unions, savings and loans, or other financial institutions).

You also agree that you will not use Mobile Deposit to deposit the following items:

  • Checks payable to any person or entity other than you (i.e., payable to another party and then endorsed to you; third-party checks).
  • Checks payable to you and another party who is not a joint owner on the account.
  • Checks that contain evidence of alteration or that you know or suspect, or should know or suspect, are fraudulent or otherwise not authorized by the owner of the account on which the check is drawn.
  • Other items such as IRS checks, savings bonds, money orders, checks not drawn on domestic U.S. banks (foreign checks), Treasury checks, traveler's checks or other items at the Bank's discretion.

Requirements: Each image must provide all information on the front and back of the original check at the time presented to you by the drawer, including but not limited to information about the drawer and the paying bank that is preprinted on the original check, MICR information, signature(s), any required identification written on the front of the original check, and any endorsements applied to the back of the original check. The image quality must meet the standards established by the American National Standards Institute, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, and any other regulatory agency, clearing house or association.

Endorsements must be made on the back of the share draft or check within 1.5 inches from the top edge, although we may accept endorsements outside this space. Your endorsement must include your signature and "for mobile deposit." Any loss we incur from a delay or processing error resulting from an irregular endorsement or other markings by you will be your responsibility.

You will not attempt to make duplicative deposits using the same check either through Mobile Deposit or through other means.

You agree to follow any and all other procedures and instructions for use of the Services as the Bank may establish from time to time.

A check payable to two payees must be endorsed by both payees. If the check is payable to you or your joint owner, either of you can endorse it. If the check is made payable to you and your joint owner, both of you must endorse the check prior to capturing for deposit.

Receipt of Deposit: All images processed for deposit through Mobile Deposit will be treated as "deposits" under your current Deposit Account Agreement with us and will be subject to all terms of the Deposit Account Agreement. Any confirmation from us that we have received the image does not mean that the image contains no errors. We are not responsible for any image that we do not receive.

Following receipt, we may process the image by preparing a "substitute check" or clearing the item as an image.

We reserve the right, at our sole and absolute discretion, to reject any image for Mobile Deposit into your account. We will notify you of rejected images.

Original Checks: After we have confirmed receipt of the image, you must securely store the original check for fourteen (14) calendar days after transmission to us and verify the deposit is in your account. Upon our request from time to time, you will deliver to us within ten (10) calendar days, at your expense, the requested original check in your possession. If not provided in a timely manner, such amount will be reversed from your account. Promptly after such period expires, you must destroy the original check by first marking it "VOID" and then destroying it by shredding it. After destruction of an original check, the image will be the sole evidence of the original check.

You agree that you will never re-present the original check. You understand that you are responsible if anyone is asked to make a payment based on an original check that has already been paid.

Returned Deposits: Any credit to your account for checks deposited using Mobile Deposit is provisional. If original checks deposited through Mobile Deposit are dishonored, rejected or otherwise returned unpaid by the drawee bank, or are rejected or returned by a clearing agent or collecting bank, for any reason, including but not limited to issues relating to the quality of the image, you agree that an original check will not be returned to you, but that we may charge back the amount of the original check and provide you with an image of the original check, a paper reproduction of the original check or a substitute check. You will reimburse us for all loss, cost, damage or expense caused by or relating to the processing of the returned item. Without our approval, you shall not attempt to deposit or otherwise negotiate an original check if it has been charged back to you.

We may debit any of your accounts to obtain payment for any item that has been rejected or returned for any adjustment or warranty claim related to such item, whether or not the rejection, return, adjustment or warranty claim was timely made.

You agree that you shall accept a returned deposit made via Mobile Deposit at any time in the event a return was caused by or resulted from your failure to comply with this Agreement. In the event of a return, you agree that the return may be made in any legally acceptable form (including without limitation, image, image replacement document, or MICR memo). You may only present the check for deposit, in connection with a returned deposit, only by delivery of the tangible check and only upon our prior written approval.

Your Warranties: You make the following warranties and representations with respect to each image:

  • Each image is a true and accurate rendition of the front and back of the original check, without any alteration, and the drawer of the check has no defense against payment of the check.
  • The amount, date, payee(s), signature(s) and endorsement(s) on the image and on the original check are legible, genuine and accurate.
  • You will only transmit eligible items.
  • You will not deposit or otherwise endorse to a third party the original check, and no person will receive a transfer, presentment or return of, or otherwise be charged for, the original check or a paper or electronic representation of the original check if the item has already been paid.
  • There are no other duplicate images of the original check.
  • The original check was authorized by the drawer in the amount stated on the original check and to the payee(s) stated on the original check.
  • You are authorized to enforce and obtain payment of the original check.

  • You are not aware of any factor which may impair the collectability of the item.

You also agree that your Internet Banking Bill Payments will be charged to the Designated Checking Account(s) specified by you. We reserve the right to refuse to pay any payee designated by you. If we do so, we will notify you promptly. Note: Due to legal requirements, we limit the ability to make certain types of payments. Payments to payees outside of the United States are prohibited and may not be issued under any circumstances. In addition, the following payments are discouraged, but may be scheduled at your own risk: tax payments to the Internal Revenue Service or any state or other government agency; court-ordered payments, such as alimony or child support; payments to insurance companies. We will not notify you if you attempt to make any of these payments and we will not be liable for these prohibited or discouraged payments.

Section 9. Setting Up Payments

You may make payments through Internet Banking to us and to any business, merchant or professional that generates a bill or invoice for products or services and that has an address we can verify ("Business Payee"). You also may make payments through Internet Banking to individuals, family or friends for non-business purposes ("Individual Payees"). Payments may be made only to payees with a U.S. payment address.

You must provide sufficient information about each payee ("Payee Information"), and such other information as we may request from time to time, to properly direct a payment to that payee and to permit a Business Payee to identify the correct account ("Payee Account") to credit with your payment. This information may include, among other things, the name and address of the payee and your Business Payee account number. We reserve the right to change, at any time, the number of payees you may designate to receive payments through Internet Banking.

The maximum single bill payment permitted through Internet Banking with Bill Pay is nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety- nine dollars and ninety-nine cents ($9,999.99) or the amount available in your account, whichever is less.

Section 10. Bill Payments and Transfers

All bill payments will be deducted from your Designated Checking Account(s); except monthly loan payments to SNB, which may be deducted, directly from a checking or savings account. To schedule a payment, you must provide the name of your payee, the amount of your payment, and the date or dates on which you want your payment to be initiated. By entering this Agreement, you are authorizing us to honor your preauthorized transfers. Any attempted payment, which exceeds the available balance in your Designated Checking Account(s) from which a payment is to be made, may be rejected. One-time transfers or bill payments, or the first in a recurring schedule of transfers or bill payments, will occur on a Business Day. If a recurring transfer or bill payment has been previously scheduled to take place and is scheduled to be debited from your account on a date, which is not a Business Day, the transfer, or bill payment will be deducted from the appropriate account the following Business Day.

Transfers may be made between Eligible Accounts. An "Eligible Account" is an Account linked to Internet Banking that does not have withdrawal restrictions, or that requires direct updating by us. Because of withdrawal restrictions, a certificate of deposit is not an Eligible Account. To schedule a transfer of funds between Eligible Accounts, you must provide the Eligible Accounts from and to which the transfer is to be made, the amount to be transferred, and the date or dates the transfer is to be made. Any attempted transfer that exceeds the available balance in the Eligible Account from which the funds are to be transferred will not be made.

Section 11. Initiation and Delivery of Payments and Transfers

Although you can enter transaction instructions through Internet Banking seven (7) days a week, 24 hours a day, payments and scheduled transfers can be "initiated" only on Business Days (See Section 1). The date on which a transaction payment is due is the date on which funds will be deducted from the appropriate Account.

We will make payments from your Designated Checking Account(s) to merchants designated by you. Payments may be remitted by us mailing your payee a check, or by electronic funds transfer. Because of the time it takes to transmit your payment to your payees, they generally will not receive payment on the day your transaction is initiated. Therefore, in order to provide sufficient time for payments to be received by your payees, the date on which payment is initiated must be at least three (3) business days prior to the date your payment is due for an electronically generated payment and at least seven (7) business days prior to the date your payment is due for a payment mailed through the postal service. Scheduled payments should be prior to any late date or grace period. It is your responsibility to set up or authorize a payment, as appropriate, far enough in advance so that the payment will be received on a timely basis. We are not responsible for any losses, damages, or charges, including late payment charges or additional finance charges that a payee may impose as a result of receiving a late payment, unless we are at fault.

Section 12. Timing of Payments and Transfers

1. Same Day Payments and Transfers

You may schedule a bill payment to be initiated on the same day you place your request on Internet Banking with Bill Pay provided you send the information to us on a Business Day before 8:00 p.m. EST. You may schedule a transfer to be initiated on the same day you place your request on Internet Banking provided you send the information to us on a Business Day before 8:00 p.m. EST. Immediate transfers cannot be canceled after the instruction is sent to us. However, you may send a transfer to reverse a previously initiated transfer between accounts.

2. Future Payments and Transfers

If you schedule a future payment or transfer for a non-Business Day, your transaction will be initiated on the future Business Day unless you specify otherwise.

3. Recurring Payments and Transfers

You may schedule payments and transfers that do not vary in amount to initiate automatically on a regular schedule of your choice. If you choose a day near the end of the month for a recurring payment or transfer that does not exist in a particular month, then the payment or transfer will be initiated on the immediately preceding Business Day for that month. If the scheduled recurring payment or transfer falls on a day, which is not a Business Day in a particular month, you will be prompted by the Internet Banking system to choose to have the payment or transfer take place on either the previous or following Business Day. For example, if you schedule a recurring payment for the fifth (5th) of each month and the 5th happens to fall on a holiday or a Saturday, then you will be prompted to initiate the transaction the previous Business Day, Friday, the 4th of September or on Monday, September 7th or the following Business Day, as appropriate. You may skip a recurring payment or transfer or change the amount of the transaction or cancel the recurring transaction altogether provided this is done by 8:00 p.m. EST for bill payments or by 8:00 p.m. EST for transfers on the scheduled transaction date.

Section 13. Canceling or Changing Payments and Transfers by Internet Banking

You may use Internet Banking to change both the amount and the initiation date of any Internet Banking payment or transfer. A payment or transfer for the same Business Day, including recurring payments and transfers, may be canceled, changed or rescheduled through the use of Internet Banking at any time provided this is done by 8:00 p.m. EST for bill payments or by 8:00 p.m. EST for transfers on the scheduled initiation date. You cannot cancel a bill payment or transfer, once it has been debited from your account. Transfers cannot be canceled after the instruction has been sent to SNB as they are processed immediately. However, you may schedule a transfer to reverse the effect of a previously established transfer between accounts.

Section 14. Stop Payment Requests for Paper Checks Written by You

You may initiate Stop Payment Requests online via Internet Banking for checks that you have written or initiated through the Bank's Bill Pay Service on your Bank account(s). Stop Payment requests for such paper checks initiated through Internet Banking and received after 8:00 p.m. will be processed at 8:30 a.m. on the business day following the date the Stop Payment was requested online. To be effective, this type of Stop Payment request must precisely identify the name of the payee, the check number, the amount, and the date of the check. If you make a Stop Payment request online, the use of your Access Code has the same effect as if the Stop Payment Request was given in writing. You will incur stop payment charges as disclosed in the Internet Banking Fees and Charges (Section 7) included in this Agreement. Stop Payments on electronic payments initiated through the Bank’s Bill Pay Service are prohibited.

Section 15. Terms for Stop Payment

Stop Payment requests are valid for six (6) months whether written or electronic or as required by law. After that time, the check may be paid and charged to your account unless you renew the Stop Payment Request in writing for an additional fee. This request/notice will be canceled if the account is closed or transferred. Even if the account is later reopened, a new request/notice must be given. The request/notice is made subject to the terms of the Bank's deposit agreements, as in effect from time to time. You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold us harmless from all actions, claims, and damages related to, or arising from, our action in stopping payment on any check or ACH debit pursuant to your Stop Payment Request. In regard to any form of Stop Payment Request, you must provide it in such a time and manner that allows us reasonable opportunity to act on the request.

Section 16. Reviewing Payments and Transfers

You may download up to 18 months of transaction history provided you have been a SNB Internet Banking customer for at least that length of time.

Section 17. Balance Inquiries

You may use Internet Banking to check the balances and recent activity of your Accounts. Balance information displayed by Internet Banking during your connection will be the Current and Available Balances as reported by the Bank's system. The balance shown may differ from your records because it may not include all funds from deposits in progress, outstanding checks, or other withdrawals, payments or charges, or items in process. A message on Internet Banking will indicate if access to Balance information is unavailable at the time your Balance Inquiry is made.

Section 18. Documentation, Verification of Transfers and Periodic Statements

The system generates a confirmation number for initiated transfers and bill payments. Transfers and bill payments made through SNB Internet Banking will be shown on the payment history. All of your transfers and bill payments made through SNB Internet Banking will also appear on your statement(s) for the accounts from which and to which transfers are made. You will receive an account statement(s) in the manner that you have chosen at least monthly for any month in which an electronic transfer occurs.

Section 19. Change in Terms

We may change any term of this Agreement at any time. If the change would result in increased fees for any Internet Banking service, increased liability for you, fewer types of available electronic fund transfers, or stricter limitations on the frequency or dollar amount of transfers, we agree to give you notice at least twenty-one (21) days before the effective date of any such change, unless an immediate change is necessary to maintain the security of an account or our electronic funds transfer system. We will post any required notice of the change in terms on the SNB Internet Banking website or forward it to you by email or by postal mail. If advance notice of the change is not required, and disclosure does not jeopardize the security of the account or our electronic funds transfer system, we will notify you of the change in terms within thirty (30) days after the change becomes effective. Your continued use of any or all of the subject Internet Banking services indicates your acceptance of the change in terms. We reserve the right to waive, reduce or reverse charges or fees in individual situations. You acknowledge and agree that changes to fees applicable to specific accounts are governed by the applicable deposit agreements and disclosures.

Section 20. Preauthorized Transfers that Vary in Amount

If you have told us in advance to make regular payments out of your Account and, these regular payments may vary in amount, the person you are going to pay will tell you ten (10) days before each payment when it will be made and how much it will be. You may choose instead to get this notice only when the payment would differ by more than a certain amount from the previous payment or when the amount would fall outside certain limits that you set.

Section 21. Our Liability for Failure to Make a Transfer

If we do not complete a transfer to or from your Account, including a bill payment, on time or in the correct amount, according to our agreement with you when you have properly instructed us to do so, we will be liable to you for your losses or damages caused as a result, except for the limits described as follows:

  1. If, through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money in your Account to make a transfer.
  2. If a legal order directs us to prohibit withdrawals from the Account.
  3. If your account is closed, or if it has been frozen.
  4. If the transfer would cause your balance to go over the credit limit of an established line of credit or the credit limit for any credit arrangement set up to cover overdrafts.
  5. If you, or anyone authorized by you, commits any fraud or violates any law or regulation.
  6. If any electronic terminal, telecommunication device, or any part of Internet Banking electronic funds transfer system is not working properly and you knew about the problem when you started the transfer.
  7. If you have not provided us with complete and correct payment information for the Internet Banking Bill Payment including, without limitation, the name, address, your payee-assigned account number, payment date, and payment amount for the payee on a bill payment.
  8. If you have not properly followed the on-screen instructions for using Internet Banking.
  9. If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire, flood, interruption in telephone Internet Banking or other communication lines) prevent the transfer, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken.

Section 22. Your Liability for Unauthorized Transfers

CONTACT US AT ONCE if you believe your password has been lost, stolen, used without your authorization, or otherwise compromised, or if someone has transferred or may transfer money from your accounts without your permission (See Section 26 for ways to contact us). An immediate telephone call to us is the best way to reduce any possible losses. You could lose all the money in your account. If you contact us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss, theft, compromise, or unauthorized use of your password, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your password without your permission. If you do NOT contact us within (2) business days after you learn of the loss, theft, compromise, or unauthorized use of your password, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your password to access your accounts without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500. Also, if your statement shows transfers that you did not make, contact us at once. If you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after the your statement was mailed to you or your online statement was made available to you, you may not get back any money you lost through transactions made after the sixty (60) day time period if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money if you had told us in time. If a legally sufficient extenuating circumstance kept you from contacting us, we will extend the time periods. Exclusions may apply for Zelle transactions. Please refer to your Zelle Network® Standard Terms for more information.

Section 23. In Case of Error or Questions about Your Electronic Funds Transfers, including Bill Payments

Contact us as soon as you can, if you think your account statement is wrong, or if you need more information about a transfer listed on your account statement. We must hear from you no later than 60 days after the FIRST account statement upon which the problem or error appeared. When you contact us:

  1. Tell us your name and account number.
  2. Tell us the date and amount of the transaction in question.
  3. Tell us the dollar amount of the suspected error.

If the suspected error relates to a bill payment made via Internet Banking Bill Payment, tell us the account number used to pay the bill, payee name, the date the payment was sent, payment amount, ID number, and the payee account number for the payment in question. This information appears on the payment history screen.

  1. Provide a description of the transaction you are unsure of and an explanation of why you believe there is an error or why you need more information.

When you contact us by telephone or by an electronic (email-type) message within your Internet Banking session, we may require that you send us written confirmation of your request or question by postal mail or fax within ten (10) business days.

Also, if the transaction resulted from a point of sale debit card transaction, occurred within thirty (30) days after the first deposit to an account, or was not initiated within a state we may take up to ninety (90) days to investigate your complaint or questions. If we decide to do this, we will provisionally 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 question in writing and WE DO NOT receive it in the form of a paper writing within ten (10) 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 three (3) business days after we finish our investigation. You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation. If we have made a provisional credit, a corresponding debit will be made from your account.

Section 24. Disclaimer of Warranty and Limitation of Liability

We make no warranty of any kind, expressed or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, in connection with Internet Banking Service provided to you under this Agreement.
