10. Deposit of Cheques using Mobile Banking
Services
a. Agency Relationship
When you scan and transmit an image of a cheque, you agree to be
acting on behalf of Affinity as lawful agent strictly and limited for
the purpose of clearing the cheques through the Canadian payment
system.
b. Eligible Cheques and Endorsement
You must scan and transmit an image of both the front and back of an
Eligible Cheque for deposit to your account. You are responsible for
ensuring that the image you have scanned is an Eligible Cheque.

Affinity, in our sole discretion, determine.
e. Receipt and rejection of Items
Affinity reserves the exclusive and sole right to reject any image
transmitted. Affinity is not responsible for any images which Affinity
does not receive. An image shall be deemed to be received when you
obtain a confirmation from Affinity. Receipt of confirmation does not
mean that the transmission was error free or complete.

Cheque. You agree that Affinity will not be responsible for any loss,
costs or fees associated with such chargeback.

You are responsible for ensuring that you access all Services in a

Installation on your computer of anti-spyware and an anti-virus
program that are maintained current with updates;
-
Installation and use of a personal firewall on your computer that
is maintained current with updates;
-
Installation of new security patches as soon as your operating
system and internet browser manufacturers and other applicable software
vendors make them available;
-
Installation of any other security-related software that may be
specifically recommended by us from time to time;
-
Disabling automatic password-save features in any browser and
software you use to access the Internet for the purpose of using any of
the Services;

any mobile devices;
-
Always exiting our Internet banking site using the “log out”
button and closing your browser if you step away from your computer;
and
-

so others cannot read them.
The practice of accessing your account information through publicly
accessible computers is strongly discouraged. The use of computers at
locations such as Internet cafes, public libraries, hotel lobbies and
the like greatly increase the risk of possible unauthorized access to
your accounts. Use of these public devices is to be avoided. If it is
determined to be the compromise point, this could have a negative impact
on any compensation for any potential losses you suffer.
12. Liability for Electronic Banking Service Transactions and
Mobile Banking Service Transactions.
12.1 Limitation of Liability
In addition to any other limitations of our liability mentioned in
this Agreement, you acknowledge and agree that Affinity Credit Union

to the security question and you agree that you will never send the
answer to a security question by e-mail, text message or any other

prior to the point at which the transfer has been successfully claimed
by the recipient. We will be entitled to pay the transfer to anyone who
claims it as the recipient and correctly answers the security question,
whether or not that person is intended to receive the transfer. We will
not be liable for losses incurred by you as a sender or recipient of an
Interac® e-Transfer, including but not limited to losses as a result of

dollar limits that may change from time to time without notice to you.

also be subject to additional agreements or terms of use with Interac®
and/or other third parties, such as your wireless carrier and other
websites and services integrated into the Mobile Payment Service,
including payment services that are made available through eligible
Apple® or Android devices.
You are responsible for any fees that are imposed by a party other

for all purchase amounts or at all merchants where your client or debit
card is accepted. Affinity, payment networks or merchants may establish
transaction limits from time to time, and you will be unable to complete
a transaction which exceeds these limits. Affinity is not responsible
for any loss, injury or inconvenience you suffer as a result of a
merchant refusing to accept the Mobile Payment Service.
You are responsible for keeping your Mobile Payment Service login and
credentials private and secure. After enrolling in the Mobile Payment
Service, you will secure your mobile device(s) with the same care you
would your Password in order to avoid unauthorized use of your
account(s) and will protect it with a secure access code and/or
biometric. Except as otherwise set out in this Agreement, you will be
responsible for all transactions carried out using your mobile device
regardless of whether the credentials used were yours or those of
another person. If your mobile device is lost or stolen, your login and
credentials are compromised, or if you believe there is an error on your
account or you suspect fraud, you agree to immediately notify us by
speaking directly with a representative of Affinity.
The collection, use and disclosure of your personal information is
governed by the Affinity Privacy and Market Code. In addition, you agree
that Affinity may collect, use and disclose personal information about
you, including information related to your account(s) and use of the
Mobile Payment Service, in order to verify your identity and to make the
Mobile Payment Service available to you.
Affinity may change the type of accounts that are eligible for the
Mobile Payment Service or stop participating in the Mobile Payment
Service at any time. We may take these actions at any time, without
telling you first, and for any reason, including if you fail to comply
with this Agreement, if we suspect fraud, if your account is not in good
standing, if there is a change in applicable law, or for any other
reason as we determine in our sole discretion.
17. Business Accounts and Services
In the case of accessing Business Accounts and Services, by the act
of designating a person as a Business User, you are authorizing that
person to view information about the Business and if online transactions
are permitted, you are also authorizing that person to carry out online
transactions on behalf of the Business.
For greater certainty, if you choose to appoint only one Business
User or to allow any single Business User to approve transactions on
your behalf despite that two or more signatures are otherwise restricted
to operate the Account, then you agree that Affinity is entitled to rely
on the instructions received from such single Business User.
In these cases, you, the Business, accept the responsibility for all
losses that may arise from a Business User misusing his or her authority
in any way, either purportedly on behalf of the business or for personal
or other purposes.
The Business and individual Business User will ensure that the
Business User meets any eligibility or other requirements for online
access that we communicate as part of the application process.
The Business is also responsible for ensuring that any changes with
respect to any authorized or designated Business User are appropriately
managed by you, the Business, and that passwords and other applicable
user identification or access information are managed accordingly.
18. Single Sign-On for Business Accounts and Personal
Accounts
The Electronic Banking Service provides a single sign-on process for
access to your personal accounts as well as any Business Accounts that
you have the authority to sign alone on (in other words, Business
Accounts which only require your signature in order to authorize a
transaction).
Accordingly, you may make transfers from Business Accounts to
personal accounts, may make personal bill payments from Business
Accounts, or conduct any other transactions involving Business and
personal accounts as may be permitted with respect to such accounts. The
Business accepts the responsibility for all losses that may arise from
your access to the Business Accounts and personal accounts.

Our transaction records will be conclusive proof of your use of any
Electronic Banking Service or Mobile Banking Service and will be
considered your written request to perform the transaction.

services. If there is any conflict or inconsistency between these Terms
of Use and the other agreements, then these Terms of Use will take
priority and govern with respect to Third-Party Digital Wallets.
You understand that your use of Third-Party Digital Wallets may also
be subject to additional agreements or terms of use with the applicable
Provider or with other third parties, such as your wireless carrier and
the websites and services of other third parties integrated into
Third-Party Digital Wallets. You acknowledge that you accept
responsibility for adhering to the additional agreements or terms of
use.
Use of Cards in Third-Party Digital Wallets:
If you want to add a Card to a Third-Party Digital Wallet, you must
follow the procedures adopted by the Provider, any instructions provided
by us, and any further procedures the Provider or we adopt. You
understand that we may not add a Card to a Third-Party Digital Wallet if
we cannot verify the card, if your account is not in good standing, if
we suspect that there may be fraud associated with your card or for any
other reason we determine at our sole discretion. Third-Party Digital
Wallets allow you to make purchases using your Card wherever the
Third-Party Digital Wallet is accepted. Third-Party Digital Wallets may
not be accepted at all places where your Card is accepted.
Removal, Blocking, or Suspension of Card:
We may not permit the addition of a Card to a Third-Party Digital
Wallet, or we may remove, suspend or cancel your access to a Third-Party

account is not in good standing, if applicable laws change, or for any
other reason we determine at our sole discretion.
You may suspend, delete or reactivate a Card from a Third-Party
Digital Wallet by following the Provider's procedures for suspension,
deletion or reactivation. In certain circumstances, your Card may be

Provider.
Lock ‘N’ Block Service:
If you decide to use the Lock ‘N’ Block Service, please note that
this service is offered by a third-party service provider. By using this
service, you accept that neither Affinity nor the third-party service
provider will be responsible if a request by you is not processed (for
whatever reason).
Maximum Dollar Limit:
Payment networks, merchants or we may establish transaction limits
from time to time in their or our discretion. As a result, you may be
unable to use a Third-Party Digital Wallet to complete a transaction
that exceeds these limits.
Applicable Fees:

other personal information from your prior device.
You are required to contact Affinity immediately if there are errors
or if you suspect fraud with your Card. We will resolve any potential

Service, you must still contact Affinity directly.
You agree to protect and keep confidential your User IDs and
passwords. If you share these credentials with others, they may be able
to access your Third-Party Digital Wallet and make purchases with your
Card or obtain your personal information.
Before using a Third-Party Digital Wallet you should ensure that only
your credentials are registered on your device as these will then be
considered authorized to make transactions related to your Card. If the
credentials of another person are used to unlock your device or make
transactions, these transactions will be deemed to be authorized by
you.
You are prohibited from using a Third-Party Digital Wallet on a
device that you know or have reason to believe has had its security or
integrity compromised (e.g. where the device has been "jailbroken",
"rooted" or otherwise had its security mechanisms bypassed).

to it or stored in its Third-Party Digital Wallet.
Liability for Loss:
You are solely responsible for all account transactions made using
your Card processed through a Third-Party Digital Wallet. You are
responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the account information

Wallet and any Third-Party Digital Wallet features you may select (for
example, your name and details such as card number and expiry date).
A Provider may aggregate your information or make it anonymous for
the purposes set out in its privacy policy or terms of use. To help
protect you and us from error and criminal activities, we and a Provider
may share information reasonably required for such purposes as fraud
detection and prevention (for example, informing a Provider if you
notify us of a lost or stolen device).
Communications:
You agree to receive communications from us, including emails to the
email address or text message to the mobile number you have provided in
connection with your Card account. These communications will relate to
your use of your Card(s) in a Third-Party Digital Wallet. You agree to
