USE OF A
THIRD-PARTY BILL PAY SERVICE
PROVIDER
CheckFree
Corporation ("CheckFree")
is the third-party bill pay
service provider who Cumorah
Credit Union has contracted
with to provide bill pay
service to its members.
CheckFree will be processing
bill payments and answering
questions directly related
to these member-initiated
bill payments. Accordingly,
the term "CheckFree
Customer Care"
represents the customer
service provided by
CheckFree to Cumorah Credit
Union's bill pay subscribers
on Cumorah's behalf. Cumorah
Credit Union, at its sole
discretion, reserves the
right to change web bill pay
service providers.
ENROLLMENT
REQUEST FOR THE SMART WEB
BILLPAY SERVICE
Cumorah Credit
Union reserves the right to
refuse enrollment in the
SMART Web BillPay service to
any member who does not meet
the SMART Web BillPay
service criteria which has
been established by the
credit union and/or
CheckFree. We also reserve
the right to refuse
enrollment, at our
discretion, to any
individual or account.
BILL PAYMENT
SERVICE
As used in this
Agreement, the term
"Payee" means the
biller to whom you wish a
bill payment to be directed;
"Payment
Instructions" means the
information provided by you
to the Service for a bill
payment to be made to your
Payee (e.g., Payee name,
account number, payment
date, etc.); "Payment
Account" means your
checking account from which
all bill payments will be
made; "Business
Day" means Monday
through Friday, excluding
Federal holidays;
"Scheduled Payment
Date" means the
Business Day of your choice
upon which your bill payment
will be made and your
Payment Account will be
debited; and "Cutoff
Time" means 8:00 p.m.,
Eastern Standard Time on any
Business Day and is the time
by which you must transmit
instructions to have them
considered entered on that
particular Business Day.
By providing the
Payment Service (hereafter
referred to as "the
Service") with the
names and account
information of those persons
to whom you wish to direct
payment, you authorize the
Service to follow the
Payment Instructions that it
receives through the payment
system. When the Service
receives a payment
instruction, you authorize
it to debit your Payment
Account and remit funds on
your behalf so that the
funds arrive as close to the
Business Day designated by
you as reasonably possible.
While it is
anticipated that most
transactions will be
processed four Business Days
before your selected
Scheduled Payment Date, it
is understood that due to
circumstances beyond the
control of the Service,
particularly delays in
handling and posting
payments by slow responding
companies or financial
institutions, some
transactions may take a day
or even a few days longer to
be credited by your Payee to
your account.
For this reason, it
is necessary that all
Scheduled Payment Dates
selected by you be no less
than five Business Days
before the actual due date,
not the late date and/or a
date in the grace period.
(For example, the payment
should be entered no later
than Monday before 8 p.m.,
Eastern Standard Time, for a
payment to arrive on
Friday.) Payment
Instructions entered after
the Cutoff Time or on
non-Business Days will be
considered entered in the
Service on the next Business
Day. If you properly follow
the procedures described
herein, and the Service
fails to send a payment
according to the Payment
Instructions received, the
Service will bear
responsibility for all late
charges. In any other event,
including but not limited to
choosing a Scheduled Payment
Date which is not five
Business Days before the due
date or on or past the due
date stated on your invoice,
the risk of incurring and
the responsibility for
paying any and all late
charges or penalties shall
be borne by you.
A bill payment is
"In Process,"
starting at the Cutoff Time
on the fourth Business Day
prior to the Scheduled
Payment Date and continuing
up to the Scheduled Payment
Date. A bill payment is a
"Pending Payment,"
starting from the time you
enter Payment Instructions
until the payment is
"In Process." A
bill payment is considered
"Completed" on the
Business Day you selected as
the Scheduled Payment Date.
You may cancel or edit any
Pending Payment (including
recurring bill pay payments)
by following the directions
within the application.
There is no charge for
canceling or editing a
Pending Payment. We may not
have a reasonable
opportunity to act on any
stop payment or cancellation
order given after a payment
is In Process and it is not
possible to stop or cancel a
payment which is Completed.
If you desire to cancel or
stop any payment which is
"In Process" you
must call Customer Care at
1-888-822-3431. Although we
will make every effort to
accommodate your request we
will have no liability for
failing to do so. Stop
payment requests sent to us
via electronic mail or in
any other manner will not
reach us in time for us to
act on your request. Stop
payment requests will be
accepted only if we have a
reasonable opportunity to
act on such a stop payment
order. If you call, we may
also require you to present
your request in writing
within fourteen (14) days
after you call. The charge
for each stop payment order
will be the then current
charge for such service as
set out in the Cumorah
Credit Union Fee Disclosure.
The Service will
use its best efforts to make
all your payments properly.
However, the Service shall
incur no liability if it is
unable to complete any
payments initiated by you
through the Service because
of the existence of any one
or more of the following
circumstances:
- If, through no
fault of ours, your
Payment Account does not
contain sufficient funds
to complete the payment
or transfer or the
transfer would exceed
the credit limit of your
overdraft account. Per
Federal regulation,
preauthorized telephone,
Internet or automatic
transfers from share
savings to cover
checking overdrafts
cannot exceed six in
number per calendar
month;
- The bill
payment processing
center is not working
properly and you know or
have been advised by the
Service about the
malfunction before you
execute the transaction;
- The payee
mishandles or delays a
payment sent by the
Service;
- You have not
provided the Service
with the correct names,
phone numbers, or
account information for
those persons or
entities to whom you
wish to direct payment;
- Circumstances
beyond the Service's
control (such as, but
not limited to, fire,
flood, or interference
from an outside force)
prevent the proper
execution of the
transaction and the
Service has taken
reasonable precautions
to avoid those
circumstances.
Provided none of
the foregoing five (5)
exceptions to the Service
performance obligations are
applicable, if the Service
causes an incorrect amount
of funds to be removed from
your Payment Account or
causes funds from your
Payment Account to be
directed to a person or
entity which does not comply
with your Payment
Instructions, the Service
shall be responsible for
returning the improperly
transferred funds to your
Payment Account and for
directing to the proper
recipient any previously
misdirected payments or
transfers.
Payments will be
made to your Payee either
electronically via the
Automated Clearing House
(ACH) or by check or laser
draft. The method of payment
depends upon the processing
method that can be
accommodated by the Payee or
CheckFree (e.g., some Payees
are unable to accept
electronic payments).
PROHIBITED
PAYMENTS
The following
payment types are prohibited
through the Service:
- Tax Payments
- Court Ordered
Payments
- Payments to
Payees outside of the
United States
THE FOREGOING SHALL
CONSTITUTE THE SERVICE'S
ENTIRE LIABILITY AND YOUR
EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. IN NO
EVENT SHALL THE SERVICE BE
LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT,
INDIRECT, SPECIAL,
INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL,
OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES,
INCLUDING LOST PROFITS (EVEN
IF ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY THEREOF) ARISING
IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE
INSTALLATION, USE, OR
MAINTENANCE OF THE
EQUIPMENT, SOFTWARE, AND OR
THE SERVICE.
EXCLUSIONS OF
WARRANTIES
THE SERVICE AND
RELATED DOCUMENTATION ARE
PROVIDED "AS IS"
WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY OF ANY
KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR

LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
PASSWORD AND
SECURITY
You agree not to
give or make available your
Password, User Name or
Personal Security Code (PSC)
to any unauthorized
individuals. You are
responsible for all bill
payments you authorize using
the Service. If you permit
other persons to use the
Service or your Password,
User Name, or PSC, you are
responsible for any
transactions they authorize
from your deposit and credit
accounts. If you believe
that any or all of your
security codes has been lost
or stolen or that someone
may attempt to use the
Service without your consent
or has transferred money
without your permission, you
must notify the Service at
once by calling
1-888-822-3431, 24-hours a
day 7 days a week.
YOUR LIABILITY
FOR UNAUTHORIZED TRANSFERS
If you tell us
within two (2) Business Days
after you discover any or
all of your security codes
have been lost or stolen,
and someone uses your
security code(s) without
your permission, you can
lose no more than $50.00. If
you fail to notify the
Service within two (2)
Business Days after you
learn of the loss or theft
of any or all of your
security codes, and we can
prove that we could have
prevented the unauthorized
use of your security codes
had you notified us, you
could lose as much as
$500.00. If your monthly
statement contains transfers
that you did not make, tell
us at once. If you do not
tell us within sixty (60)
days after the statement was
mailed to you, you may lose
any amount transferred
without your authorization,
after the sixty (60) days,
if we can prove that we
could have stopped someone
from taking the money had
you told us in time. If a
good reason (such as a long
trip or a hospital stay)
prevented you from telling
us, we may extend the
period.
