MOBILE CHECK DEPOSIT SERVICES DISCLOSURE AND AGREEMENT

In this Disclosure and Agreement, the words "you" or "your" mean the consumer or business that applied for and/or uses any of the Mobile Check Deposit Services (the "Services") described in this Disclosure and Agreement. The words "the Credit Union" mean Truliant Federal Credit Union. Your Application for use of the Mobile Check Deposit Services, the Credit Union's notification of approval of your application, and your Truliant Federal Credit Union Account Agreement and Deposit Account Agreement are hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Disclosure and Agreement. In the event of a discrepancy between this Disclosure and Agreement and your Application, the Credit Union's approval, or the Account Agreement, this Disclosure and Agreement will control.

Use of the Services.  Following receipt of the Credit Union's notification approving your use of the Services, you are authorized by the Credit Union to remotely deposit paper checks you receive to your account with the Credit Union (the "Account") by electronically transmitting a digital image of the paper checks to the Credit Union for deposit. Your use of the Services constitutes your acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Disclosure and Agreement. You agree to comply with the equipment requirements set forth as Exhibit "A", (shown below) which is attached hereto and incorporated by this reference. Upon receipt of the digital image, the Credit Union will review the image for acceptability. You understand and agree that receipt of an image does not occur until after the Credit Union notifies you of receipt of the image via the Deposit History feature. You understand that, in the event you receive a notification from the Credit Union confirming receipt of an image, such notification does not mean that the image contains no errors or that the Credit Union is responsible for any information you transmit to the Credit Union. The Credit Union is not responsible for any image that the Credit Union does not receive. Following receipt of the image, the Credit Union may process the image by preparing a "substitute check" or clearing the item as an image. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Credit Union reserves the right, within the Credit Union's sole and absolute discretion, to accept or reject any item for remote deposit into your Account. You understand that any amount credited to your Account for items deposited using the Services is a provisional credit and you agree to indemnify the Credit Union against any loss the Credit Union suffers because of the Credit Union's acceptance of the remotely deposited check. In addition you agree that you will not (i) modify, change, alter, translate, create derivative works from, reverse engineer, disassemble or decompile the technology or Services, (ii) copy or reproduce all or any part of the technology or Services; or (iii)interfere, or attempt to interfere, with the technology or Services.

Guarantee Specific to Deposits Received for Credit to a Business Account. Your use of the Services for the purpose of depositing to a Business Account constitutes your understanding and agreement that you may be personally liable for any expenses Truliant Federal Credit Union incurs in attempting to obtain final payment for the item in question, outside of the routine costs associated with item processing, in the event of a default by the Business. This includes but is not limited to recovery of the amount credited in the event of non-payment, collection costs and attorneys' fees as applicable, as well as any and all costs associated with Truliant Federal Credit Union enforcing this Guarantee. This Guarantee shall benefit Truliant Federal Credit Union and its successors and assigns.

Compliance with Law.  You agree to use the products and Services for lawful purposes and in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, as well as all laws pertaining to the conduct of your business if applicable. You warrant that you will only transmit acceptable items for deposit and have handled the original items in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. You promise to indemnify and hold the Credit Union harmless from any damages, liabilities, costs, expenses (including attorneys' fees) or other harm arising out of any violation thereof. This indemnity will survive termination of your Account and this Agreement.
