CREDIT UNION LIABILITY
If we do not complete a transfer to or from your account on time or in the correct amount according to our agreement with you, we will be liable for your losses or damages. Our sole responsibility for an error in a transfer will be to correct the error, and in no case will we be liable for any indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages. In states that do not allow the exclusion or limitation of such damages, our liability is limited to the extent permitted by applicable law. The Credit Union will not be liable for the following, if:
--Through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money in your account to make the transfer, your account is inactive, or the transfer would go over the credit limit on your line of credit, if applicable.
--You used the incorrect login information or you have not properly followed any applicable computer, or Credit Union user instructions for making transfer and bill payment transactions.
--Your computer fails or malfunctions or the phone lines or Credit Union computer system was not properly working and such problem should have been apparent when you attempted such transaction.
--Circumstances beyond your control (such as fire, flood, telecommunication outages or strikes, equipment or power failure) prevent making the transaction.
--The funds in your account are subject to an administrative hold, legal process or other claim.
--Through no fault of ours, a bill payment or funds transfer transaction does not reach a particular payee due to changes or inaccuracies in the payee address, account number or otherwise; the time you allow for payment delivery was insufficient; or the payee failed to process a payment correctly, or in a timely manner, and a fee, penalty, or interest is assessed against you.
--The error was caused by a system beyond the Credit Union?s control such as a telecommunications system, an Internet service provider, any computer virus or problems related to software not provided by Credit Union.
--You have closed the designated checking account.
--There are other exceptions as established by the Credit Union.
