Terms And
Conditions Of Your Account
IMPORTANT
ACCOUNT OPENING INFORMATION - Federal law
requires us to obtain sufficient information to
verify your identity. You may be asked
several questions and to provide one or more forms
of identification to fulfill this requirement.
In some instances we may use outside sources to
confirm the information. The information you
provide is protected by our privacy policy and
federal law.
AGREEMENT
- This document, along with any other documents we
give you pertaining to your accounts, is a
contract that establishes rules which control your
account(s) with us. Please read this carefully. If
you sign the signature card or open or continue to
have your account with us, you agree to these
rules. You will receive a separate schedule of
rates, qualifying balances, and fees if they are
not included in this document. If you have any
questions, please call us.
This agreement is subject to applicable federal
laws and the laws of the state of Conneticut
(except to the extent that this agreement can and
does vary such rules or laws). The body of state
and federal law that governs our relationship with
you, however, is too large and complex to be
reproduced here. The purpose of this document is
to:
- summarize some
laws that apply to common transactions;
- establish rules
to cover transactions or events which the law
does not regulate;
- establish rules
for certain transactions or events which the
law regulates but permits variation by
agreement; and
- give you
disclosures of some of our policies to which
you may be entitled or in which you may be
interested.
If any provision of
this document is found to be unenforceable
according to its terms, all remaining provisions
will continue in full force and effect. We may
permit some variations from our standard
agreement, but we must agree to any variation in
writing either on the signature card for your
account or in some other document.
As used in this document the words "we,"
"our," and "us" mean the
financial institution and the words
"you" and "your" mean the
account holder's) and anyone else with the
authority to deposit, withdraw, or exercise
control over the funds in the account. The
headings in this document are for convenience or
reference only and will not govern the
interpretation of the provisions. Unless it would
be inconsistent to do so, words and phrases used
in this document should be construed so the
singular includes the plural and the plural
includes the singular.
BYLAWS
- Our bylaws, which we may amend from time to
time, establish basic rules about our credit union
policies and operations which affect your account
and membership. You may obtain a copy of the
bylaws on request. Our right to require you to
give us notice of your intention to withdraw funds
from your account Is described in the bylaws.
Unless we have agreed otherwise, you are not
entitled to receive any original item after it is
paid, although you may request that we send you an
item(s) or a copy of an item(s). Dividends are
based on current earnings and available earnings
of the credit union, after providing for required
reserves.
LIABILITY
- You agree, for yourself (and the person or
entity you represent if you sign as a
representative of another) to the terms of this
account and the schedule of charges. You authorize
us to deduct these charges directly from the
account balance as accrued. You will pay any
additional reasonable charges for services you
request which are not covered by this agreement.
Each of you also agrees to be jointly and
severally (individually) liable for any account
shortage resulting from charges or overdrafts,
whether caused by you or another with access to
this account. This liability is due immediately,
and can be deducted directly from the account
balance whenever sufficient funds are available.
You have no right to defer payment of this
liability, and you are liable regardless of
whether you signed the item or benefited from the
charge or overdraft. This includes liability for
our costs to collect the deficit including, to the
extent permitted by law, our reasonable attorneys'
fees.
DEPOSITS
- We will give only provisional credit until
collection is final for any items, other than
cash, we accept for deposit (including items drawn
'on us'). Actual credit for deposits of, or
payable In, foreign currency will be at the
exchange rate in effect on final collection in
U.S. dollars. We are not responsible for
transactions by mail or outside depository until
we actually record them. We will treat and record
all transactions received after our 'daily cutoff
time' on a business day we are open, or received
on a day we are not open for business, as it
initiated on the next following business day that
we are open.
WITHDRAWALS
- Unless clearly indicated otherwise on the
account records, any of you, acting alone, who
signs In the space designated for signatures on
the signature card may withdraw or transfer all or
any part of the account balance at any time. Each
of you (until we receive written notice to the
contrary) authorizes each other person signing the
signature card to indorse any item payable to you
or your order for deposit to this account or any
other transaction with us. We may charge your
account for a check even though payment was made
before the date of the check, unless we have
received written notice of the postdating in time
to have a reasonable opportunity to act. We may
refuse any withdrawal or transfer request which
you attempt on forms not approved by us, by any
method we do not specifically permit, which is
greater in number than the frequency permitted, or
which is for an amount greater or less than any
withdrawal limitations. Even If we honor a
nonconforming request, we may treat continued
abuse of the stated limitations (if any) as your
act of closing the account. We will use the date
the transaction is completed by us (as opposed to
the date you initiate It) to apply the frequency
limitations. The fact that we may honor withdrawal
requests that overdraw the available account
balance does not obligate us to do so later. See
the funds availability policy disclosure for
information about when you can withdraw funds you
deposit For those accounts for which our funds
availability policy disclosure does not apply, you
can ask us when you make a deposit when those
funds will be available tor withdrawal.
OWNERSHIP
OF ACCOUNT AND BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION -
These rules apply to this account depending on the
form of ownership and beneficiary designation, if
any, specified on the account records. We reserve
the right to refuse some forms of ownership on any
or all of our accounts. We make no representations
as to the appropriateness or effect of the
ownership and beneficiary designations, except as
they determine to whom we pay the account funds.
- Individual
Account - is an account in the name
of one person.
- Joint
Account - With Survivorship (And Not
As Tenants In Common) - is an account in the
name of two or more persons. Each of you
intend that when you die the balance In the
account (subject to any previous pledge to
which we have agreed) will belong to the
survivor(s). If two or more of you survive,
you will own the balance in the account as
joint tenants with survivorship and not as
tenants in common.
- Joint
Account - No Survivorship (A* Tenant*
In Common) - is owned by two or more persons,
but none of you Intend (merely by opening this
account) to create any right of survivorship
in any other person. We encourage you to agree
and tell us in writing of the percentage of
the deposit contributed by each of you. This
information will not, however, affect the
"number of signatures" necessary for
withdrawal.
- Revocable
Trust Account -If two or more of you
create such an account, you own the account
jointly with survivorship. Beneficiaries
cannot withdraw unless: (1) all persons
creating the account die, and (2) the
beneficiary is then living. If two or more
beneficiaries are named and survive the death
of all persons creating the account, such
beneficiaries will own this account In equal
shares, without right of survivorship. The
person(s) creating this account type reserve
the right to: (1) change beneficiaries, (2)
change account types, and (3) withdraw all or
part of the account funds at any time.
STOP
PAYMENTS - You must make any stop-payment
order in the manner required by law and we must
receive it in time to give us a reasonable
opportunity to act on It before our stop-payment
cutoff time. To be effective, your stop-payment
order must precisely identify the number, date and
amount of the item, and the payee. You may stop
payment on any item drawn on your account whether
you sign the item or not, if you have an equal or
greater right to withdraw from this account than
the person who signed the Item. A release of the
stop-payment request may be made only by the
person who initiated the stop-payment order. Our
stop-payment cutoff time is one hour after the
opening of the next banking day after the banking
day on which we receive the item. Additional
limitations on our obligation to stop payment are
provided by law (e.g., we paid the Item in cash or
we certified the item).
TELEPHONE
TRANSFERS - A telephone transfer of funds
from this account to another account with us, if
otherwise arranged for or permitted, may be made
by the same persons and under the same conditions
generally applicable to withdrawals made in
writing. Unless a different limitation is
disclosed in writing, we restrict the number of
transfers from a savings account to another
account or to third parties, to a maximum of six
per month (less the number of "preauthorized
transfers" during the month). Other account
transfer restrictions may be described elsewhere.
AMENDMENTS
AND TERMINATION - We may change our
bylaws and any term of this agreement. Rules
governing changes in rates are provided
separately. For other changes we will give you
reasonable notice in writing or by any other
method permitted by law. We may close this account
if your membership in the credit union terminates,
or by giving reasonable notice to you and tender
of the account balance personally or by mail. At
our option, we may suspend your rights to member
services If you violate the terms of this
agreement. You must keep us Informed of your
current address at all times. Notice from us to
any one of you Is notice to all of you.
STATEMENTS
- You must examine your statement of account with
"reasonable promptness." If you discover
(or reasonably should have discovered) any
unauthorized signatures or alterations, you must
promptly notify us of the relevant facts. As
between you and us, if you fail to do either of
these duties, you will either have to share the
loss with us, or bear the loss entirely yourself
(depending on whether we used ordinary care and,
if not, whether we substantially contributed to
the loss). The loss could be not only with respect
to items on the statement but other items with
unauthorized signatures or alterations by the same
wrongdoer.
You agree that the time you have to examine your
statement and report to us will depend on the
circumstances, but will not, in any circumstance,
exceed a total of 30 days from when the statement
is first sent or made available to you.
You further agree that if you fail to report any
unauthorized signatures, alterations, forgeries,
or any other errors in your account within 60 days
of when we first send or make the statement
available, you cannot assert a claim against us on
any Items in that statement, and as between you
and us the loss will be entirely yours. This 60-
day limitation is without regard to whether we
used ordinary care. The limitation in this
paragraph is In addition to that contained In the
first paragraph of this section.
ACCOUNT
TRANSFER - This account may not be
transferred or assigned without our prior written
consent.
DIRECT
DEPOSITS - If, in connection with a
direct deposit plan, we deposit any amount in an
account which should have been returned to the
Federal Government for any reason, you authorize
us to deduct the amount owed to the Federal
Government from the account or from any other
account you have with us, without prior notice and
at any time, except as prohibited by law. We may
also use any other legal remedy to recover the
amount of our liability.
TEMPORARY
ACCOUNT AGREEMENT - It this option is
selected, this is a temporary account agreement.
Each person who signs in the space designated for
signatures on the signature card (except as
indicated to the contrary) may transact business
on this account. However, we may at some time in
the future restrict or prohibit further use of
this account if you fail to comply with the
requirement we have imposed within a reasonable
time.
RIGHT TO
REPAYMENT OF INDEBTEDNESS - You each
agree that we may (without prior notice and when
permitted by law) charge against and deduct from
this account any due and payable debt owed to us
now or in the future, by any of you having the
right of withdrawal, to the extent of such
persons' or legal entity's right to withdraw. If
the debt arises from a note, "any due and
payable debt" includes the total amount of
which we are entitled to demand payment under the
terms of the note at the time we charge the
account, including any balance the due date for
which we properly accelerate under the note.
In addition to these contract rights, we may also
have rights under a "statutory lien." A
"lien" on property is a creditor's right
to obtain ownership of the property in the event a
debtor defaults on a debt. A "statutory
lien" is one created by federal or state
statute. If federal or state law provides us with
a statutory lien, then we are authorized to apply,
without prior notice, your shares and dividends to
any debt you owe us, in accord with the statutory
lien.
Neither our contract rights nor rights under a
statutory lien apply to this account if: (a) it is
an Individual Retirement Account or other
tax-deferred retirement account, or(b) the debt Is
created by a consumer credit transaction under a
credit card plan (but this does not affect our
rights under any consensual security interest), or
(c) the debtor's right of withdrawal arises only
in a representative capacity. We will not be
liable for the dishonor of any check or draft when
the dishonor occurs because we charge and deduct
an amount you owe us from your account. You agree
to hold us harmless from any claim arising as a
result of our exercise of our right to repayment
AUTHORIZED
SIGNER (Individual Accounts only) - A
single individual is the owner. The authorized
signer is merely designated to conduct
transactions on the owner's behalf. We undertake
no obligation to monitor transactions to determine
that they are on the owners behalf.
RESTRICTIVE
LEGENDS - We are not required to honor
any restrictive legend on checks you write unless
we have agreed in writing to the restriction.
Examples of restrictive legends are "must be
presented within 90 days" or "not valid
for more than $1,000.00."
PLEDGES
- Unless we agree otherwise in writing, each owner
of this account may pledge all or any part of the
funds in it for any purpose to which we agree. Any
pledge of this account must first be satisfied
before the rights of any surviving account owner
or account beneficiary become effective.
ACH AND
WIRE TRANSFERS - This agreement Is
subject to Article 4A of the Uniform Commercial
Code - Fund Transfers as adopted in the state in
which you have your account with us. If you
originate a fund transfer for which Fedwire is
used, and you identify by name and number a
beneficiary financial institution, an intermediary
financial institution or a beneficiary, we and
every receiving or beneficiary financial
institution may rely on the identifying number to
make payment. We may rely on the number even if it
identities a financial Institution, person or
account other than the one named. You agree to be
bound by automated clearing house association
rules. These rules provide, among other things,
that payments made to you, or originated by you,
are provisional until final settlement is made
through a Federal Reserve Bank or payment is
otherwise made as provided in Article 4A-403(a) of
the Uniform Commercial Code. If we do not receive
such. we are entitled to a refund from you In the
amount credited to your account and the party
originating such payment will not be considered to
have paid the amount so credited. If we receive a
credit to an account you have with us by wire or
ACH, we are not required to give you any notice of
the payment order or credit.
FACSIMILE
SIGNATURES - You authorize us at any
time, to charge you for all checks, drafts, or
other orders, for the payment of money, that are
drawn on us regardless of by whom or by what means
the facsimile signature(s) may have been affixed
so long as they resemble the facsimile signature
specimen filed with us, and contain the required
number of signatures for this purpose.
Notice of
Negative Information

requires us to provide the following notice to
members before any "negative
information" may be furnished to a nationwide
consumer reporting agency. "Negative
information" includes information concerning
delinquencies, overdrafts or any form of default.
This notice does not mean that we will be
reporting such information about you, only that we
may report such information about members
that have not done what they are required to do
under our agreement.
After providing
this notice, additional negative information may
be submitted without providing another notice.

NOTICE

or Questions About Your Electronic Transfers, Call
or Write us at the telephone number or address
listed in this brochure, as soon as you can, if
you think your statement or receipt is wrong or if
you need more information about a transfer listed
on the statement or receipt. We must hear from you
no later than 60 days after we sent the FIRST
statement on which the problem or error appeared.
- Tell us your
name and account number (if any).
- 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.
- Tell us the
dollar amount of the suspected error.
If you tell us
orally, we may require that you send us your
complaint or question in writing within 10
business days.
We will determine
whether an error occurred within 10 business days
(5 business days for Instant Cash & Check Card
point-of-sale transactions and 20 business days if
the transfer involved a new account) after we hear
from you and will correct any error promptly. If
we need more time, however, we may take up to 45
days (90 days if the transfer involved a new
account, a point-of- sale transaction, or a
foreign-initiated transfer) to investigate your
complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we
will credit your account within 10 business days
(5 business days for Instant Cash & Check Card
point-of-sale transactions and 20 business days if
the transfer involved a new 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. If we ask you to
put your complaint or question in writing and we
do not receive it within 10 business days, we may
not credit your account. Your account is
considered a new account for the first 30 days
after the first deposit is made, unless each of
you already has an established account with us
before this account Is opened.
We will tell you
the results within three business days after
completing our Investigation. If we decide that
there was no error, we will send you a written
explanation.
Your Ability To
Withdraw Funds
This policy
statement applies to all transaction accounts.
Our policy is to
make funds from your cash and check deposits
available to you on the first business day after
the day we receive your deposit. Electronic direct
deposits will be available on the day we receive
the deposit. Once the funds are available, you can
withdraw them in cash and we will use the funds to
pay checks you have written.
Please remember
that even after we have made funds available to
you, and you have withdrawn the funds, you are
still responsible for checks you deposit that are
returned to us unpaid and for any other problems
involving your deposit.
For determining the
availability of your deposits, every day is a
business day, except Saturdays, Sundays and
federal holidays. If you make a deposit before
closing on a business day that we are open, we
will consider that day to be the day of your
deposit. However, if you make a deposit after
closing or on a day we are not open, we will
consider that the deposit was made on the next
business day that we are open.
If we cash a check
for you that is drawn on another bank, we may
withhold the availability of a corresponding
amount of funds that are already in your account.
Those funds will be available at the time funds
from the check we cashed would have been available
if you had deposited it.
If we accept for
deposit a check that is drawn on another bank, we
may make funds from the deposit available for
withdrawal immediately but delay your availability
to withdraw a corresponding amount of funds that
you have on deposit in another account with us.
The funds in the other account would then not be
available for withdrawal until the time periods
that are described elsewhere in this disclosure
for the type of check that you deposited.
LONGER
DELAYS MAY APPLY
Case-by-case
delays. In some cases, we will not make
all of the funds that you deposit by check
available to you on the first business day after
the day of your deposit. Depending on the type of
