I. INTRODUCTION - PARTIES AND DEFINITIONS

This Mobile Banking Service Agreement (as amended from time to time, this "Agreement"), governs the Mobile Banking service provided by Southeastern Credit Union and your use of that service.  This Agreement also includes certain licensing rights and restrictions, including an end user agreement between you and our primary software licensor.

The terms "we", "us" and "our" refer to Southeastern Credit Union.  The terms "you" and "your" refer to the customer of Southeastern Credit Union who is entering into this Agreement.  The term "Mobile Banking" means a suite of services that we make available, enabling you to conduct banking transactions with us by using your Mobile Device.  "Mobile Device" means a cellular telephone or similar wireless communications device (1) that is installed with software permitted by us ("Mobile Banking Software") that you have downloaded in order to conduct Mobile Banking transactions, or (2) that is capable of conducting Mobile Banking transactions by using other protocols we may choose to permit.   We reserve the right to change the Mobile Banking Software and other protocols that we allow for Mobile Banking at any time without prior notice. 

II. MOBILE BANKING IS PART OF YOUR PRIMARY ONLINE BANKING SERVICE

Presently, Mobile Banking is available only to individuals who are already enrolled in our (personal) Online Banking service.  The term "Primary Online Banking" means the (personal) Online Banking service through which you choose to enroll in Mobile Banking.  "Primary Online Banking Agreement" means the (personal) Online Banking Service Agreement, as amended from time to time, that you accepted when enrolling in your Primary Online Banking service.  Your "Primary Online Banking Agreement" also includes related agreements that you have with us in connection with your Primary Online Banking (e.g., any agreement for our Bill Pay service or Transfers to a Friend service; any Multi Party Addendum; etc.)

This Mobile Banking Service Agreement is an Addendum to and includes the terms of your Primary Online Banking Agreement.  Capitalized terms that are not defined in this Agreement are defined in your Primary Banking Agreement.  The same credentials (Login ID and Password) that are in place for your Primary Online Banking service shall also apply to Mobile Banking.

III. ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT

Before using Mobile Banking, you must both (a) consent to receive notices and disclosures electronically, and (b) read and accept this Agreement.  You must evidence that consent and acceptance by selecting the button declaring your acceptance as part of your enrollment in Mobile Banking.  In addition, you agree you are deemed to automatically renew that consent and acceptance each time you log in as a user of Southeastern Credit Union Mobile Banking and use Mobile Banking to conduct any transaction.  The current version of this Agreement can always be viewed online through your Primary Online Banking service.  

IV. TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1.            CONSENT TO RECEIVE DISCLOSURES AND NOTICES ELECTRONICALLY

By accepting this Agreement, you consent to receiving notices and disclosures concerning Mobile Banking, Primary Online Banking, and your enrolled credit union accounts electronically, including by mobile phone (e.g. SMS or other text message) or e-mail (each of the foregoing being an "electronic address").  You must enter your electronic address for such disclosures and notices when first enrolling in Mobile Banking.  You are solely responsible for immediately updating your electronic address if it changes. You must update your electronic address by logging into your Primary Online Banking service, accessing the electronic page for managing your email address or accessing the Mobile Banking page to update your Mobile Device phone number, and entering your new electronic address. If you need assistance updating your electronic address, you may call the Call Center at 800-228-9839.  All disclosures and notices by us shall be deemed given and received by you immediately upon being sent to the electronic address you have most recently updated.  Many disclosures and notices may also or instead appear in one or more of your credit union account statements.  Unless specifically required by law, we are not obligated to provide any disclosure or notice to you by regular mail or by any means other than electronic transmission.  You may, without charge, withdraw your consent to receiving notices and communications electronically by calling our Call Center at 800-228-9839, but in that event we can terminate your Mobile Banking service. 

Receiving electronic disclosures and notices on your Mobile Devices requires that your Mobile Device be an Internet-enabled Mobile Device that support 256-bit encryption. In order to keep notices and disclosures sent to you electronically, you must have the ability to save them to your Mobile Device or computer, or to print them.  You may also request a paper copy of an electronic notice or disclosure at no additional charge by calling our Call Center at 800-228-9839.

A. Mobile Banking Functions

To access Mobile Banking service and functions, your Mobile Device must be Internet enabled and connected to the Internet through your mobile communications service provider.   You must  be enrolled in both a Primary Online Banking service and our Mobile Banking service. You must  enroll the particular Mobile Device(s) that you wish to use with Mobile Banking.  You must also un-register any Mobile Device(s) that you may no longer wish to be capable of using with Mobile Banking.

When you access Mobile Banking with your Mobile Device, you will see a menu of available Mobile Banking functions (e.g., view balances; view or search for transactions; locate branches; execute specific types of internal or external funds transfers; etc.).  From time to time we will add, and may modify or delete particular Mobile Banking functions or geographic areas served by Mobile Banking.  We may make such changes in functions or geographic service with or without prior notice.  We reserve the right to refuse to make any transaction that you may request through Mobile Banking. 

Not all functions that are described in your Primary Online Banking Agreement or available at your Primary Online Banking service website are available with Mobile Banking.  All terms and conditions in your Primary Online Banking Agreement or on your Primary Online Banking service's website that limit or govern your use of Primary Online Banking functions will also limit and govern your use of those functions through Mobile Banking.

 B. Mobile Banking Service Availability

We will use reasonable efforts to make Mobile Banking service available for your use on a continuous basis. We do not guarantee functionality of Mobile Banking services (or any Mobile Banking Software) on all Mobile Devices, on all communications networks, in all geographic regions, or at all times. Mobile Banking service may be temporarily unavailable for regular or emergency system maintenance. We will endeavor to have our scheduled maintenance occur during non-peak hours, but we may conduct maintenance at any time. In addition, your accessibility to the Mobile Banking service may be interrupted because of conditions beyond our control, including outages in Internet availability. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to re-establish Mobile Banking service in those instances, but we do not promise the Mobile Banking service will always be available for your use. We may elect to discontinue Mobile Banking (or any of the services that we provide, from time to time, through Mobile Banking) at any time. If we choose to discontinue Mobile Banking, we will provide you with reasonable notice.  In the case of a disaster, your Mobile Banking may be suspended in order to allow emergency and responding personnel to use the cellular networks.  In no event, regardless of cause, shall we be liable to you for unavailability of Mobile Banking services, or your inability to access Mobile Banking or to execute Mobile Banking functions. 

C.  Fees Charged by Southeastern Credit Union

Currently, we charge no fees to enroll in or use Mobile Banking.  However, we may assess fees (a) set forth in the other agreements, disclosures or fee schedules for particular banking products or accounts (such as overdraft or funds transfer fees), or (b) for products and services that you may purchase through Mobile Banking.

We reserve the right to institute or change fees for Mobile Banking after sending you prior notice.  See the section entitled "Amending this Agreement or Fees."

You are responsible for obtaining your own mobile communications service provider.  Your mobile communications service provider may charge you for Internet-related use and for text (SMS) messages, so please see your mobile carrier for further details about its charges.  You are responsible for all fees and charges that you may incur to any mobile communications service provider or any other third parties while using Mobile Banking. 

We are not a party to, and we have no duty, liability or responsibility with respect to or in connection with (i) your mobile communications service provider agreement, or (ii) any Mobile Device, hardware, software or other any product or service you may purchase from others relating to your use of Mobile Banking.  This Agreement does not amend or supersede any agreements that you have with third parties (such as your Mobile Device supplier and your mobile communications service provider), and you remain subject to all terms, fees, costs, other charges, limitations and restrictions in those agreements with third parties.  Your Mobile Device supplier and your mobile communications service provider are responsible for their products and services.  You agree that any problems you may have concerning those companies' products, services or agreements shall be resolved by you directly with them, and without involving us.

Your Mobile Device may become subject to unauthorized tracking, "hacking" or other manipulation by spyware, viruses or other malicious code ("malware").  We are not responsible for advising you of the existence or potential effect of any malware.  Your use of your hardware and software is at your own risk.

E. Export Controls

Software programs, materials, tools, and technical data may be subject to U.S. export controls or the trade laws of other countries.

We and our service providers (including without limitation third-party providers of Mobile Banking Software) reserve all rights not granted to you in this Agreement and under the terms of such Licenses. If you obtain a different Mobile Device, you will be required to download and install Mobile Banking Software, to that different Mobile Device, under the same terms set forth in this Agreement. You agree to delete all such software from your Mobile Device promptly if the Licenses or this Agreement terminate for any reason.  We reserve the right to change, add to, or terminate services with our third-party Mobile Banking Software providers, to substitute different Mobile Banking Software providers, and to enter into or arrange for the provision Mobile Banking Software by other licensors and third-parties.
