1. Authorizations; Disclosure of PIN |
You must be an owner or joint owner of a Deposit Account in order to access it through Online Banking services. By applying for Online Banking services, you agree that each owner of a Deposit Account of which you are a joint owner is authorized to access all of the funds held in that Deposit Account. For Deposit Account transactions, we are entitled to act on transaction instructions received using your PIN and you agree that the use of your PIN will have the same effect as your signature authorizing the transaction. We reserve the right to deny transactions under certain circumstances. Rockland Federal Credit Union identifies users by their unique Account Number and PIN. Rockland Federal Credit Union is entitled to act upon instructions received with respect to any Online Banking service under your Account Number and PIN and without inquiring into the identity of the person using the PIN. We will establish access for you using a default PIN. You will be required to immediately change your PIN upon your first log-in. You understand and agree that your PIN will be utilized for security purposes to authenticate electronic transfers, and that you are responsible for safeguarding your PIN. All transactions initiated with your Account Number and PIN will be considered by us as having been authorized by you. You understand and agree that in disclosing your PIN to anyone, you are providing that person with the authority to perform all transactions relating to any Deposit Account of which you are an owner or joint owner, including Bill Payment Services, until you revoke that authority by changing your PIN. If you believe that your Account Number or PIN has been compromised, you must immediately notify Rockland Federal Credit Union of that fact and change your PIN. |
2. Members Responsibility |

If you permit other persons to use your PIN to access Online Banking services, you are responsible for any resulting transactions involving your accounts. You are responsible for keeping your PIN and account data confidential. |
3. Computer Requirements; Consent to Electronic Communications |
You are responsible for the installation, maintenance and operation of your computer, other equipment used to access Online Banking services, and software (collectively, your Computer). We are not responsible for any errors or failures caused by any malfunction of your Computer, and we are not responsible for any computer virus or related problems that may be associated with the use of Online Banking services or your Computer. You are also responsible for all telephone charges incurred in connecting to Online Banking services and for charges by any Internet provider providing your connection to the Internet. You must have an e-mail account, and provide us with a valid e-mail address, in order to use Online Banking services. By using Online Banking services, you agree that for as long as you use Online Banking Services, any communication from us to you, including any disclosures or other information required to be delivered in writing under applicable law, may be delivered to you in electronic form (e-mail), that you will check for e-mail regularly, and that such electronic communication shall be in lieu of written communication.

4. Fees |
Presently, RFCU does not charge its members fees for the use of its Online Banking service, nor does it limit the number of transactions permitted or their dollar amounts (except as described above in this section). Certain transactions accessible through Online Banking are subject to the same fees as if conducted in person or by telephone; these fees are set forth in the Account Agreement. Presently, RFCU does not charge a monthly fee for the use of its Online Bill Payment service.

5. Limit of Our and Other Providers' Responsibility (Other Than For Unauthorized Transfers) |
We agree to make reasonable efforts to ensure full performance of Online Banking services. We will be responsible for acting only on those instructions which are actually received and cannot assume responsibility for malfunctions in communications facilities that may affect the accuracy or timeliness of messages you send. We are not responsible for any losses or delays in transmission of instructions arising out of the use of any Internet service provider providing connection to the Internet, or caused by any browser software or other feature of your Computer. We are not responsible for any direct, indirect, special, incidental, consequential, multiple, or punitive damages arising in any way out of your use of Online Banking services, or for attorneys fees. Because some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages, in such states our liability is limited to the extent permitted by law. RFCU MAKES NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES CONCERNING ONLINE BANKING SERVICES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NONINFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY PROPRIETARY RIGHTS UNLESS DISCLAIMING SUCH WARRANTIES IS PROHIBITED BY LAW. |
C. ONLINE BILL PAYMENT |
Bill Payment is a separate service offered as part of Online Banking. If you have requested and received our Online Banking Service, you can also request the Online Bill Payment Service, through which you can make payments to third parties from your RFCU checking account. |
1. Use of Online Bill Payment |
To pay bills using the Bill Payment feature, you must use your Computer to authorize a payment from a Payment Account. Your payment will be made either by transferring funds electronically to the payee or by sending the payee a paper check. (A "payee" is the person or business you are paying.) You must have a Rockland Federal Credit Union checking account opened and in good standing to use the Bill Payment Service. If you close your Rockland Federal Credit Union checking account, you must notify us to cancel your Bill Payment Service. Service charges will continue to accrue until that notice is provided to us. You agree that payment transactions executed through an automated clearing house will be subject to the rules of the National Automated Clearing House Association (NACHA). The Bill Payment Service allows you to schedule bill payments through Rockland Federal Credit Unions Real Online Banking service. You can arrange, at your option, for the payment of your current, future and recurring bills from your RFCU checking account, up to a maximum of $9,999.99 per payee each business day. There is no limit to the number of payments that may be authorized, except as may be otherwise provided by Federal Reserve Regulation D. Only one one-time payment and one recurring payment may be sent to each payee on the same day. Using the Bill Payment feature, you can only pay payees with United States addresses. You may pay any merchant or individual approved by the bill payment vendor for payment through the Bill Payment Service. We are unable to process any payments to federal, state, or local tax agencies or courts. While most payees can be paid by using the Bill Payment feature, we reserve the right to refuse to pay certain payees. We reserve the right to refuse to honor payment requests that reasonably appear to us to be fraudulent or erroneous. You may use the Bill Payment feature to authorize automatic recurring payments in order to pay bills. These payments must be for the same amount each month and they will be paid on the same calendar day of each month, or on the following business day if the regular payment day falls on a weekend or holiday. You agree to maintain sufficient funds in the checking account and/or overdraft account from which bills are being paid or your Bill Payment Service may be canceled without notice. By furnishing us with the names of your payees and their addresses, you authorize us to follow the payment instructions to those payees as provided by you via our Bill Payment Service. |
2. Scheduling Payments. |
In using the Bill Payment feature, you acknowledge that the time elapsed between your authorization of a payment and the vendors receipt is subject to numerous factors beyond RFCUs control, including (without limitation) the performance of other service providers and, in the case of paper checks, the mail |
3. Canceling Payments. |
You may use Online Banking services to cancel a payment if your request to cancel is sent no later than 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time (ET) the calendar day before the payment is scheduled to be made, by editing or deleting the scheduled payment. If your request to cancel is not received before 9:00 p.m. ET the Calendar Day before the payment is to be made, you may be responsible for the payment. You should be aware that electronic communications are not always instantaneous and can involve delays of several hours or longer. |
D. TERMINATION; GOVERNING LAW |
1. Ending the Online Banking services Agreement |
You may end your rights to use Online Banking services by telling us in writing. We may end your rights to use Online Banking services for any reason and at any time without notifying you. If more than one person is authorized to withdraw funds from your Account, or if another person uses Online Banking services to access your Account, we cannot stop that person from using Online Banking services unless we end this Agreement. If the Account is a joint Account, any owner of the Account may ask us to end this Agreement. We are not responsible for notifying any remaining account holders of the termination. If you close Online Banking services, you authorize us to continue making transfers, bill payments, and other transactions you have previously authorized until such time as we have had a reasonable opportunity to act upon your closing notice. Once we have acted upon your closing notice, we will make no further transfers, payments or transactions from your Account, including transfers, payments or transactions you have previously authorized. However, you must cancel any automatic recurring transfers requested using Online Banking services prior to terminating Online Banking services, otherwise we will continue to make such payments. If we close Online Banking services, we reserve the right to make no further transfers, payments or transactions from your Account, including any transfers and transactions you have previously authorized. If either you or we end your rights to use Online Banking services, we will no longer be required to complete any of your Online Banking services transactions. You will remain obligated to us under this Agreement for all your Online Banking services transactions, even if they occur or are completed after this Agreement is ended. |
2. Governing Law |
This Agreement is governed by the federal laws of the United States and the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts unless otherwise required by federal or state law. Any issue relating to an Account or service with us that you access through Online Banking services shall be governed by the laws specified in the agreement for that Account or service if there is a separate agreement for that Account or service. |
