Please refer to your Disclosures for any non-sufficient funds fee or other fee(s) that may be assessed. We are under no obligation to you when we have been unable to complete a transfer request due to insufficient or unavailable funds, or due to other circumstances out of our control, such as a system or power failure. If we are consistently unable to complete the requested transfer due to insufficient funds in the designated debit Account, then we reserve the right to cancel the transfer request and to review your Online Services privileges.

Quontic Bank shall have no liability to you for Quontic Bank’s failure to effectuate any requested amendment or cancellation of any payment order. Any request to cancel or amend any payment order must be given to Quontic Bank in sufficient time to give Quontic Bank a reasonable opportunity to act on it before Quontic Bank executes its own payment order, at which point Quontic Bank may, at its discretion, elect to require (a) compliance with the security procedures set forth in Paragraph 2, (b) you to supply Quontic Bank with a reasonable accurate description of the original payment order and/or (c) receipt by Quontic Bank of an indemnity bond from an acceptable institution or other security under which Quontic Bank is held harmless from and against any loss, liability, cost (including but not limited to telex and cable fees) or expense (including but not limited to reasonable attorney’s fees) arising from or in connection with the attempted cancellation or amendment of a payment order. You agree to indemnify and hold Quontic Bank harmless from any and all liabilities, cost, and expenses Quontic Bank may incur in attempting to cancel or amend a payment order.

COST OF SERVICE. Account transaction fees as stated in any Disclosures and Fee Schedule provided to you remain in effect and are not eliminated or changed with the use of Online Services. You have sole responsibility for any service fees you incur from your telephone, internet, or wireless service providers.

BILL PAY SERVICES. You can access Bill Pay Services in the same manner that you access other Online Services by using your Login Credentials and meeting any other security measures that we may institute. You must indicate the Account that is to be considered the designated Account to be debited for your bill-paying activities. You may make an unlimited number of transfers or withdrawals from your Savings and Money Market Accounts. There is a $1.00 minimum and a $4,000.00 maximum dollar amount that is permitted for payments using our Bill Pay Services.

In order to pay bills, you will need to create a list of payees, providing the information required to log and submit your payments accurately. We require at least 3 business days as set-up time for Checks and online payments through Bill Pay Services. If we pay your bill by issuing a Check, we may, at our discretion, send the Check to the payee before the due date you selected. The payee may cash the Check before or after the selected due date. If your account has insufficient funds when the payee cashes the Check and we pay the item on your behalf, you will be responsible for paying the overdrawn balance, and we may charge you overdraft fees. Refer to the Account Agreement for more information. If you fail to take into account, our required set-up time and the payment is received by the payee after the due date, we are not responsible for any late charges or other actions that may be taken by the payee due to the late payment. Please make other payment arrangements for the payment that is due and set-up the next payment to that payee through Bill Pay Services.

We assume responsibility for all reasonable efforts to process your payments through Bill Pay Services in a timely and accurate manner. We accept no liability for any damages you may incur due to insufficient or unavailable funds in the designated Account that may adversely affect payment processing, any inaccuracies in the payee information supplied in regards to this payment, any mishandling or delay in posting by the payee or the payee’s financial institution of account, or any system or postal delays or interruptions or any other circumstances out of our control, to the extent allowed by state and federal law and the provisions of this Agreement. Also, contact us immediately if you suspect any security breach of your Login Credentials or any unauthorized activity using Bill Pay Service.

CANCELING BILL PAY SERVICES. You may cancel Bill Pay Services at any time by contacting us via phone or in any other form or manner acceptable to us. When not canceling in writing or in a Record to us, we may require a Record or writing confirming the Bill Pay Services cancelation. Be aware of any outstanding payments and make arrangements for future payments to the payees. When deleting specific payees only, you may individually delete that payee and retain the Bill Pay Services for any remaining payees.

REMOTE DEPOSIT CAPTURE (“RDC”). RDC services allow you to make deposits to your Account from remote locations by electronically transmitting digital images of your original paper checks, which are drawn on or payable through United States financial institutions in United States dollars to us. We may then use this Check Image to create an Electronic Check or Substitute Check for collection. The Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act and Regulation CC govern the use of RDC services and have enabled financial institutions to accept Substitute Checks, which are the legal equivalent to Original Checks for all purposes.

RDC FEES AND CHARGES. Any and all fees and charges associated with your Accounts remain in effect when accessing and using RDC services. You understand that standard data charges and messaging rates imposed by your wireless service provider may apply and that these rates and charges are your sole responsibility. Please contact your service provider for additional information.

ELIGIBILITY OF ITEMS. You may only submit Items for deposit that are within the dollar limits established for you. We reserve the right to limit the dollar amount and frequency of deposits made through RDC services by you, and we may raise or lower your dollar limit in the future at our sole discretion at any time. You agree that we are not obligated to accept any Check Image that we determine to be ineligible, and you agree to deposit only Checks as defined by section 1.8 in the DEFINITIONS section of this Agreement. You acknowledge that ineligible Items include, but are not limited to, the following: ACH payments or wire transfers, Items drawn on banks located outside of the United States, cash, illegible Items, incomplete Items, Items which are altered in any way, any Check that has previously been converted to a Substitute Check, any Item that contains indecipherable magnetic ink character recognition (“MICR”) data, any Check originally made payable to a party other than you and any stale or post-dated Items.

PROCESSING REQUIREMENTS. You agree you will not alter any Original Check or Check Image under any circumstance, and you warrant that all Original Checks are authorized for the amount stated on the Check by the person who created the Check. At the time of presentment to you by drawer, any Checks that you initiate for deposit must contain all necessary information on the front and back of the Check, including all endorsements, the identity of the drawer and paying bank that is preprinted on the Check, and the image quality must be in compliance with the minimum requirements established by the American National Standards Institute (“ANSI”). Determination of image quality compliance is in our sole discretion and any Check may be rejected if it does not meet these criteria. You also agree that all Check Images you submit for deposit through RDC services will not contain any viruses or other potentially harmful attributes.

ACCEPTANCE OF ITEMS. We are not responsible for any Items which we do not receive. Items received will each be reviewed for acceptability and any accepted Item will be converted into a Substitute Check. You agree that electronic conveyance of a Check does not equate to receipt of the Check. You agree that a notice confirming receipt of your deposit does not mean the Item is error-free or that it will not be rejected upon further review. If we do reject an Item for any reason, we will provide you with a notice of rejection; however, we will not be liable for loss suffered as a result of the rejected Item. We will also provide you with a notice if your deposited Item is dishonored, in which case you permit us to debit such amount from your account. You may confirm receipt of all deposited Items by viewing your account statements or by contacting us.

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL OF CHECKS. You agree to securely preserve and protect each Original Check for a period of 90 days and during this period you agree to provide any Original Check to us upon request. Once you have obtained confirmation from us that we have received an Item, you agree to indicate its presentment via electronic means directly on the Original Check. You agree you will not deposit or submit any Original Check which you have already submitted or deposited electronically into an account you own with us or at any other financial institution. At the expiration of the 90 days day period, you will destroy each Original Check in its entirety to ensure it is not presented for payment again. You understand that any misuse of a Check Image after presentment to us is your responsibility and you will be solely liable for any resulting loss.

Neither we nor Zelle® guarantee that you will receive money from other Users by sending a 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.

By accepting this Agreement, you agree that you are not engaging in the business of debt collection by attempting to use the 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 Banks 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 request for money that you send that is related to overdue or delinquent amounts.

You agree to receive money requests from other Users, and to only send requests for legitimate and lawful purposes. Requests for money are solely between the sender 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 sender of a request for money.

We reserve the right, but assume no obligation, to terminate your ability to send requests for money in general, or to specific recipients, if we deem such requests to be potentially unlawful, abusive, offensive or unwelcome by the recipient.

13.  Transaction Errors

In case of errors or questions about your consumer bank account electronic transfers our contact information is described below:

Telephone number (800) 908-6600

Address: P.O. Box 6073, Astoria, NY 11106

Hours: Monday – Friday 9:00 to 6:00pm,

Please notify us as soon as you can if you think your statement or receipt is wrong or if you need more information about a transfer on the statement or receipt. We must hear from you no later than 60 days after we sent you the FIRST statement on which the error or problem appeared.

Please (1) tell us your name and account number (if any): (2) describe the error or the transfer you are unsure about and explain as clearly as you can why you believe it is an error or why you need more information and (3) tell us the dollar amount of the suspected error. We will investigate your complaint and will correct any error promptly.

If we take more than 10 business days to do this for your consumer account, we will credit the account 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.

14.  Your Liability for Unauthorized Transfers

You acknowledge and agree that once a transfer has been initiated by you, it cannot be stopped or revoked. The Bank shall have no liability arising out of your initiation of erroneous funds transfers. You understand that we must rely on the information provided by you and you authorize us to act on any instruction, which has been or reasonably appears to have been sent by you, to submit fund transfer instructions on your behalf. You understand that financial institutions receiving the fund transfer instructions may rely on such information. We are not obliged to take any further steps to confirm or authenticate such instructions and will act on them without getting further confirmation. You agree to accept full responsibility for losses resulting from any of your errors, duplication, ambiguities, or fraud in the information that you provide. You agree not to impersonate any person or use a name that you are not authorized to use. If any information you provide is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, without limiting other remedies, we reserve the right to recover from you any costs or losses incurred as a direct or indirect result of the inaccurate or incomplete information.

If you permit other persons to use the Service or any password needed to access the Service, you are responsible for any transaction they authorize from your accounts. If you believe that your password to access the Service has been lost or stolen or that someone has transferred or may transfer money from your account without your permission, notify us AT ONCE, by calling (800) 908-6600.

15.  Liability for Failure to Complete Transfers

If we do not complete a transfer you send from your enrolled bank account in the correct amount or according to our agreement with you, we will be liable for those damages as the law imposes in such cases. However, there are some exceptions. We will not be liable, for example:

  1. If, through no fault of ours, your account does not contain sufficient funds to make the transfer.
  2. The Service, your operating system or software was not functioning properly at the time you attempted to initiate such transfer and it was evident to you at the time you began the transfer.
  3. Circumstances beyond our control, such as fires, floods, acts of God, power outages and the like.
  4. If you have not provided us with complete and correct transfer information, including without limitation the financial institution name and account number (if applicable), the email address or mobile phone number of the recipient for transfers you send and transfer amount for a transfer.
  5. If the intended recipient of a transfer is not registered with the Service or the person-to-person transfer service of Zelle® or a Network Bank.

The list of examples set out in this paragraph is meant to illustrate circumstances under which we would not be liable for failing to make a transfer and is not intended to list all of the circumstances where we would not be liable.

16.  Fees

We do not charge a fee for using the Service. However, fees associated with text messaging may be assessed by your mobile carrier, and data rates may apply. In addition, fees may apply if you use the Service through another financial institution or through Zelle’s® separate transfer service website or mobile app. However, we reserve the right to assess fees in connection with the Service in the future. If we do assess fees, we will give you reasonable notice as required by law and deduct any applicable fees from the enrolled bank account used for the transfer.
