This Home Deposit Capture Agreement (as amended and/or supplemented, this “Agreement”) governs Member’s use of evolve Federal Credit Union’s (“evolve FCU”) RDC Service (“RDC” or “Service”). evolve FCU offers RDC under this Agreement only in association with one or more deposit accounts maintained by Member at evolve FCU. The terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement do not replace, but supplement, any and all other agreements (whether now or in the future) that govern any account maintained by Member at evolve FCU (whether now or in the future) or any other evolve FCU services utilized by Member (whether now or in the future). Member’s use of the Service is Member’s acknowledgement of and acceptance of the following terms and conditions.
Terms and Conditions
1. General Description of RDC. Subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement, evolve FCU will provide RDC to Member, to allow Member to make deposits to Member’s checking, money market accounts and the primary savings account, to the extent evolve FCU authorizes Member to use RDC for such account (each such deposit account an “Account” and, collectively, the “Accounts”) from Member’s home or office by scanning checks on a desktop scanner and delivering the images and information required hereby to evolve FCU or evolve FCU’s designated processor (a “Processor”). The terms evolve FCU and Processor may be used interchangeably when used in relation to any services performed by a Processor on behalf of evolve FCU including, but not limited to, the receipt and processing of images and check data and any notices related thereto. The scanner must capture an image of the front and back of each Check (as herein defined) to be deposited (each an “Image” and, if more than one, “Images”) in accordance with the Procedures (as herein defined), must read and capture the magnetic ink character recognition (“MICR”) line on each check and must read and capture all such other data and information as is required by this Agreement.
After capture of the Images, the MICR line on each check and all other required data and information from each check, Member will transmit one or more files containing the Images, the MICR line from each check and all other required data and information from or pertaining to all checks, data and other required information (each such file a “File” and, if more than one, “Files”) to evolve FCU or Processor via the Internet. Subject to compliance with the terms, provisions and conditions of, and as provided in, this Agreement, and subject to evolve FCU’s Funds Availability Policy, evolve FCU will provisionally credit the Account or Accounts designated by Member for the amount of the deposit(s) to which the File(s) pertains on the day of receipt of the File(s) and enter the images of the checks into the collection process in accordance with the provisions of evolve FCU’s then current Disclosure for Personal Accounts pertaining to the Account(s) into which the deposit is to be made (the “Deposit Agreement”) and this Agreement. Funds from deposits may not be available for immediate withdrawal and are subject to evolve FCU’s Funds Availability Policy. Member acknowledges and agrees that evolve FCU may discontinue, and/or change the terms of, RDC or any related content, features, products or services associated therewith, at any time without notice or liability to Member or any third party. Member agrees to comply with and complete any Member training requirements of evolve FCU for the RDC Service.

All right, title and interest in and to (a) any and all computer programs, including, but not limited to, the object and source codes therefore, and any and all updates, upgrades, fixes and enhancements thereto and any and all documentation, user guides and instructions pertaining thereto (everything in this clause (a), collectively, “Software”), (b) RDC Procedure Manual (defined herein below) and (c) any and all users guides, instructions and other documentation provided to, or used by, Member in connection with the Service (everything in this clause (c) together with the RDC Procedure Manual, collectively, the “Documentation”) shall be, and remain, the property of evolve FCU or any third-party Software provider, as applicable. Unless otherwise expressly authorized, Member may not (a) modify, change, alter, translate, create derivative works from, reverse engineer, disassemble or decompile the technology or Service; (b)copy or reproduce all of any part of the technology or Service; and (c) interfere, or attempt to interfere, with the technology or Service.
3. Checks Deposited and Security Interest. Member hereby agrees that it will only scan and deposit a check(s) as that term is defined in Federal Reserve Board Regulation CC (“Reg CC”). Member agrees that the image of the check that is transmitted to evolve FCU (each such check and other item a “Check” and, if more than one, “Checks”) shall be deemed an “item” within the meaning of Article 4 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in.
Member further agrees that it will not remotely deposit any check(s) or other item(s) that: (a) are payable to any person or entity other than Member, (b) are drawn, or otherwise issued, by Member or any affiliate of Member on any account of Member or of such affiliate, (c) are prohibited by evolve FCU’s then current procedures pertaining to the Service (the “Procedures”) or are in violation of any law, rule or regulation, (d) Member knows or suspects, or should know or suspect, is fraudulent or otherwise not authorized by the owner of the account on which the Check is drawn, (e) have not been previously endorsed by a evolve FCU and are either “substitute checks” (as defined in Reg CC or other applicable federal law or regulation) or “image replacement documents” that purport to be substitute checks, without evolve FCU’s prior written consent, (f) are drawn on financial institutions that are located outside of the United States or Territories of the United States, (g) is a Remotely Created Check, as that term is defined in Reg CC, (h) any single item of $10,000.00 or more, or (i) which are not acceptable to evolve FCU for deposit into a deposit account as provided in the Deposit Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof (Checks described in clauses
(a) through (h) each a “Prohibited Check” and, collectively, “Prohibited Checks”).
If Member deposits a Prohibited Check, Member agrees to indemnify and reimburse evolve FCU for, and hold evolve FCU harmless from and against, any and all losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees) evolve FCU may incur associated with any warranty, indemnity or other claim related thereto. Furthermore, if, after first having obtained evolve FCU’s written consent to do so, Member provides evolve FCU with an electronic representation of a substitute check for deposit into an Account instead of an original Check, Member agrees to indemnify and reimburse evolve FCU for, and hold evolve FCU harmless from and against, any and all losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees) evolve FCU incurs because any such substitute check resulting from such electronic representation does not meet applicable substitute check standards and/or causes duplicate payments.
Member grants evolve FCU a security interest in all Accounts or other deposits (whether general or special) of Member’s at evolve FCU, and in all funds in such Accounts or other deposits, to secure Member’s obligations to evolve FCU under this Agreement. This security interest will survive termination of this Agreement. evolve FCU may hold any funds on deposit with evolve FCU by Member after termination of this Agreement for up to 14 calendar days following the expiration of any return or chargeback rights regarding any Item processed by Member using the Service or, if later, until any other claims to such funds have expired.
Member may be required to maintain a reserve (“Settlement Reserve”) of an amount to be solely determined by the evolve FCU. Member acknowledges and agrees that any Settlement Reserve will be deposited in a evolve FCU account for exclusive use by the evolve FCU for purposes of offsetting any of Member’s obligations under this Agreement. Member grants the evolve FCU a security interest in any Settlement Reserve to enable the evolve FCU to enforce any obligation owed by Member under this Agreement without notice or demand to Member. Member’s obligation to maintain a Settlement Reserve shall survive the termination of this Agreement, with such obligation lasting until all of Member’s obligations under this Agreement have been fully offset.
4. Scanning of Checks and Transmission of Files. Member shall properly install and use all software and hardware required by this Agreement or otherwise required for, or related to, the use of RDC. Member shall (a) restrictively endorse each Check to be deposited in the proper location as follows:
The back of each item must include the following:
- The words "For Mobile Deposit only”
- evolve Federal Credit Union?
- The Membership Number
- The Account Number to which it is being deposited
- Payee's Endorsement
Example:
- Back of item
- For Mobile Deposit Only
- evolve Federal Credit Union
- Member # 0000000, Account # 0
- Payee’s Endorsement
(b) scan the front and back of each Check to be deposited and thereby capture the image of the front and back of each Check and capture the MICR encoding on, and any other required data from, each Check and (c) transmit the File containing the images of, the MICR line from and all other required data and information from or pertaining to, such Checks and other information to evolve FCU or its Processor in accordance with the Procedures, a copy of which Procedures have either heretofore been, or are herewith, provided to Member by evolve FCU, and Member acknowledges receipt thereof. evolve FCU reserves the right to amend the Procedures, with or without prior notice to Member. evolve FCU may also provide Member with, or require Member to establish, a User ID, a personal identification number (“PIN”) and/or passwords and other procedures (collectively, “Security Procedures”) to access RDC. The specific Security Procedures will be described in the Procedures. Member agrees to, at all times, (a) comply with the Procedures, (b) safeguard the confidentiality and security of the Procedures, Security Procedures and all other proprietary property or information evolve FCU provides to Member in connection with RDC and (c) notify evolve FCU immediately if Member has any reason to believe the security or confidentiality required by this provision has been or may be breached. Member acknowledges, understands and agrees the Security Procedures are not designed for the detection of errors. evolve FCU is not, and will not be, obligated to detect errors by Member or others, even if evolve FCU takes certain actions from time to time to do so.
To ensure accuracy, Member shall balance the dollar amount of each deposit to the sum of the Checks prior to transmitting the File in accordance with the Procedures. Member may send multiple Files to evolve FCU or Processor throughout the day. Member shall not make deposits in excess of the limits established by evolve FCU for the Member’s RDCs (the “Scan Limit”) evolve FCU is authorized to determine and to change the Deposit Limit for the Member in evolve FCU’s sole discretion at any time. If the total dollar value of the Files sent by Member to evolve FCU exceeds the Scan Limit, evolve FCU may, at its option, refuse to accept the File that exceeds the Scan Limit, or evolve FCU may accept and process the File. Member agrees not to exceed the Scan Limit. To be eligible for processing on the day transmitted, Files must be received by evolve FCU no later than 3:00 P.M. Mountain Time on a business day we are open (the “Cut-Off Time”). A File is considered received by evolve FCU when a complete copy of such File has been written on a evolve FCU electronic storage device in conformity with evolve FCU’s technical and operational requirements. To meet the Cut-Off Time, the entire File must be received by evolve FCU prior to the Cut-Off Time, and the File must successfully pass evolve FCU’s review and approval for conformity with the technical requirements. For purposes of determining when a File has been delivered and received, evolve FCU’s records shall be determinative. A File which is not balanced in accordance with the Procedures or which is received after the Cut-Off Time shall be deemed to have been received on the business day following the business day on which the File is actually received by evolve FCU (“business day” means any day which evolve FCU is open to conduct substantially all of its services, but shall not include Saturday, Sunday or federal holidays). evolve FCU reserves the right to change the number of Files that may be transmitted in a day, the Scan Limit and the Cut-Off Time. All such changes shall be effective immediately and may be implemented prior to Member’s receipt of notice thereof. Member may contact evolve FCU during normal business hours to verify the current number of Files that may be transmitted in a day, the Scan Limit and the Cut-Off Time.
5. Maintenance and Destruction of Original Check. Member shall mark the original Check “Processed” or “Scanned” before or during the process of scanning the Check in accordance with Section 4 of this Agreement. Member shall securely store all original Checks for a period of sixty (60) days after Member has received notice from evolve FCU that the File containing the images of such Checks has been accepted (such period the “Retention Period”). During the Retention Period, Member shall take appropriate security measures to ensure that: (a) only authorized personnel shall have access to original Checks, (b) the information contained on such Checks shall not be disclosed, (c) such Checks will not be duplicated or scanned more than one time and (d) such Checks will not be deposited or negotiated in any form. Member shall destroy original Checks upon the expiration of the Retention Period applicable to such Checks. Member will use commercially reasonable methods of destruction approved by evolve FCU to destroy original Checks after expiration of the Retention Period. Member hereby indemnifies evolve FCU for, and holds evolve FCU harmless from and against, any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, losses and damages, of whatever nature or kind, and regardless of the theory upon which the same is (are) based, caused directly or indirectly by, arising out of, related to, in connection with or resulting wholly or partially from, the destruction of original Checks by Member.
Member will promptly (but in all events within 5 business days) provide any retained Check (or, if the Check is no longer in existence, a sufficient copy of the front and back of the Check) to evolve FCU as requested to aid in the clearing and collection process or to resolve claims by third parties with respect to any Check.
6. Image and MICR Quality. Each File transmitted by Member to evolve FCU shall contain Images of the front and the back of the Checks scanned and remotely deposited by Member. Each Image of each Check shall be of such quality that the following information can clearly be read and understood by sight review of such Image:
(a) the amount of the Check; (b) the payee of the Check; (c) the signature of the drawer of the Check; (d)the date of the Check; (e)the Check number; (f) the information identifying the drawer and the paying evolve FCU that is preprinted on the Check, including the MICR line; and (g) all other information placed on the Check prior to the time an image of the Check is captured, such as any required identification written on the front of the Check and any indorsements applied to the back of the Check. Each Image shall also meet all standards for image quality established by the American National Standards Institute (“ANSI”), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve or any other regulatory agency, clearing house or association. Member shall also capture and transmit to evolve FCU the full-field MICR encoding on each Check. In accordance with the Procedures, Member shall ensure that the following information is captured from the MICR line of each Check: (aa) the American Bankers Association routing transit number (“RTN”); (bb) the number of the account on which the Check is drawn; (cc) when encoded, the amount of the Check; and (dd) when encoded, the serial number and the process control field of the Check.
7. Receipt of File. Member agrees that Member shall be solely liable for, and evolve FCU shall not have any liability whatsoever to Member for, any File or the Images or other information contained therein that are not received by evolve FCU or for any File or the Images or other information contained therein that are intercepted or altered by an unauthorized third party. Member agrees that evolve FCU has no obligation to accept a File and, therefore, may reject any File or the Images or other information contained therein submitted by Member. evolve FCU has no obligation to notify Member of the rejection of a File or the Images or other information contained therein. evolve FCU shall have no liability to Member for the rejection of a File or the Images or other information contained therein or for the failure to notify Member of such rejection. Upon receipt of a File submitted by Member, evolve FCU may examine such File and the Images and other information contained therein to ensure that Member has complied with this Agreement and followed the Procedures. If evolve FCU determines that Member has not complied with this Agreement or followed the Procedures or if errors exist in the Images or other information contained in the File, evolve FCU, in its sole discretion, may either reject the File or elect to correct the error and accept and process the corrected File (a “Corrected File”). As a form of correction, evolve FCU may credit Member’s Account for the full amount of the deposit and make any necessary adjustments to the Account to correct the error. evolve FCU may, at its option, also perform a risk management analysis of one or more Files submitted by Member to detect potentially fraudulent Checks, and, in its sole discretion, evolve FCU may reject any such File or the Images or other information contained therein. If after examination of a File and the Images and other information contained therein, evolve FCU determines that Member has complied with this Agreement and processed and transmitted the File in accordance herewith and with the Procedures, the File is balanced and the Images meet the requirements of Section 6 of this Agreement, then evolve FCU shall accept the File (an “Accepted File”) for deposit to Member’s Account. Upon acceptance of the File, evolve FCU shall electronically notify Member of receipt and acceptance of the Accepted File for deposit. Information and data reported hereunder: (a) may be received prior to final posting and confirmation and is subject to correction and (b) is for informational purposes only and may not be relied upon. Member agrees that evolve FCU shall have no liability for the content of payment-related information. Notwithstanding the fact that evolve FCU has accepted a File for deposit, any credit made to Member’s Account shall be provisional, and Member shall remain liable to evolve FCU for any errors, inaccuracies, breach of warranties and any other loss sustained by, or claim made against, evolve FCU.
8. Provisional Credit and Availability of Funds. Upon acceptance of the File, and subject to evolve FCU’s Funds Availability Policy, evolve FCU will grant Member’s Account Provisional Credit (as herein defined) for the total amount of the Corrected File or the Accepted File, as applicable. As used herein, “Provisional Credit” means that the credit is made to Member’s Account subject to final payment of the Checks and subject to the terms of the Deposit Agreement. Member and evolve FCU agree that evolve FCU’s Funds Availability Policy applies to Items deposited using this Service and that Funds from Deposits may not be available for immediate withdrawal.
9. Laws, Rules and Regulations. Member agrees to comply with all existing and future operating procedures used by evolve FCU for processing of transactions. Member further agrees to comply with, and be bound by, all applicable state or federal laws, rules, regulations, orders, guidelines, operating circulars and pronouncements, affecting checks and drafts and ACH transactions, including, but not limited to, all rules and procedural guidelines established by the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, National Check Exchange (“NCE”), Small Value Payments Member (“SVPCo”), Viewpointe, Endpoint Exchange, the National Automated Clearing House Association (“NACHA”), Electronic Check Clearing House Organization (“ECCHO”) and any other clearinghouse or other organization in which evolve FCU is a member or to which rules evolve FCU has agreed to be bound. The Rules are incorporated herein by reference. These procedures, rules, and regulations (collectively the “Rules”) and laws are incorporated herein by reference. In the event of conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Rules, the Rules will control.
10. Collection of Checks. evolve FCU, in its sole discretion, shall determine the manner in which Images shall be presented for payment to the drawee bank. evolve FCU, in its sole discretion, shall select the clearing agents used to collect and present the Images, and evolve FCU’s selection of the clearing agents shall be considered to have been designated by Member. evolve FCU shall not be liable for the negligence of any clearing agent. Collection of Checks is also subject to the Rules and the terms of the Deposit Agreement.
11. Contingency Plan. Member agrees that, in the event Member is not able to capture, balance, process, produce or transmit a File to evolve FCU, or otherwise comply with the terms hereof or of the Procedures, for any reason, including, but not limited to, communications, equipment or software outages, interruptions or failures, Member will transport the originals of all Checks to the closest office of evolve FCU and deposit original Checks with evolve FCU until such time that the outage, interruption or failure is identified and resolved. The deposit of original Checks at an office of evolve FCU shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement and not by the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and to the extent applicable, Section 12 of this Agreement dealing with warranties shall apply to the deposit of original Checks.

13. Returned Checks. If Images of Checks deposited by Member are dishonored or otherwise returned unpaid by the drawee bank, or are returned by a clearing agent for any reason, including, but not limited, to issues relating to the quality of the Image, Member understands and agrees that, since Member either maintains the original Check or has destroyed the original Check in accordance with Section 5 of this Agreement, the original Check will not be returned, and evolve FCU may charge back an Image of the Check to Member’s Account. Member understands and agrees that the Image may be in the form of an electronic or paper reproduction of the original Check or a substitute check. Unless otherwise instructed by evolve FCU, Member agrees not to deposit the original Check if an Image or other debit as previously described is charged back to Member.
14. Fees and Charges. So long as this Agreement remains in effect, Member agrees to pay to evolve FCU the normal deposit account service charges established from time to time by evolve FCU and, in addition thereto, the fees and charges set forth in the Fee Schedule as provided from time to time hereafter to Member, and all such other fees and charges as may be agreed upon from time to time by Member and evolve FCU. Member authorizes evolve FCU to deduct any charges for RDC from any Account, even if such deduction causes an overdraft in the Account.
Should Member fail or refuse to pay any charges under this Agreement, Member agrees to pay all collection costs (including reasonable attorney's fees) which may be incurred by evolve FCU. evolve FCU shall have the right to increase or decrease charges imposed for RDC and will notify Member of the changes, to the extent required by law.
