a. Account Access. You may access any of your Credit Union personal accounts online, including share savings, checking, and club accounts, certificates of deposit, and loan accounts.

You may make one-time transfers or schedule future or recurring transfers, such as transfers to make loan payments. You may transfer funds between your checking accounts and share savings accounts, and from your checking or share savings accounts to your club accounts. Additionally, you may also transfer to unrelated accounts (a separate account number or to another member) if an agreement to do so is signed and processed by Credit Union staff and you have this same capability enabled on the KISS audio response system. NOTE: Because regulations require the Credit Union to limit preauthorized transfers (including Internet Account Access transfers), the following limitations apply:
You can make no more than six (6) transfers per statement period by preauthorized or automatic transfer or by telephone or Internet Account Access from any Share Savings account, including DBA Share Savings, Basic Share Savings, Plus Share Savings, Performance Share Savings and Super Share Savings.
c. Additional Services. New services may be introduced for Internet Account Access from time to time. The Credit Union will notify you of the existence of these new services. By using these services when they become available, you agree to be bound by the rules that will be provided to you concerning these services at the time they are made available to you.
4. Schedule of Fees and Costs

Additionally, if legal action is necessary to enforce this Agreement or collect any amounts owing to the Credit Union or collect any fees or charges assessed under this Agreement, the Credit Union has the right, subject to applicable law, to payment by you of all attorney's fees and costs, including fees on any appeal and any post-judgment actions. You agree that such legal action may be filed and heard in the county and state in which the Credit Union's principal place of doing business is located, if allowed by applicable law. Any disputes regarding this agreement shall be within the jurisdiction of the court of the county in which the credit union's principal place of doing business is located.

You will continue to receive your regular account statement either monthly or quarterly, depending on the type of account. Members with checking accounts will receive monthly statements. Members who do not have a checking account will receive a statement at least quarterly, as well as for any month in which an electronic transfer transaction is executed. These statements will be delivered electronically unless you elect to request paper statements delivered by U.S. mail service.

an exact replica of the paper records received via US mail.
You will have the ability to view up to 24 months of statements, beginning with the month you first enrolled in the Alliance Acce$$ service.
NOTE: Alliance Credit Union implemented the e-Statement service in Fall 2002. Therefore, you will not be able to view statements generated prior to September 2002, even if you were already enrolled in the Alliance Acce$$ service at that time.
Terms & Fees
By accepting this agreement, you agree to the receipt of electronic statements
and will waive the receipt of mailed paper statements.
Accepting this disclosure WILL ENROLL YOU FOR ONLINE STATEMENTS, but due to processor requirements, you will need to accept a second disclosure in order to actually VIEW your online statements.
Note: You may choose to opt-out of e-Statements and continue to receive paper statements for a fee of $3.00. You can choose the paper statement option by accepting this agreement, then accessing “User Options” inside the Alliance Acce$$ site, clicking “Online Statement Options,” then choosing the appropriate bubble, thereby accepting a $3.00 fee for paper statements and the applicable terms and conditions. The fee for this alternative statement delivery option will be deducted automatically from your savings account the last day of each month.
Equipment and Software Requirements:
To receive electronic records via Alliance Acce$$, you need a browser
with 128-bit encryption. The statements are in a PDF file format; therefore,
you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to access these files. By requesting any
electronic funds transfers, internet banking, other electronic services or
transactions, or by submitting any application or agreement to us
electronically or by e-Mailing us, you represent that you have such equipment
and software and that you can download, access, read, review, print and store
the electronic records we provide to you.
"e-Mail" Communication:
You acknowledge and agree that the Internet is considered inherently insecure.
Therefore, you agree that we have no liability to you whatsoever for any loss,
claim or damages arising or in any way related to our response(s) to any e-Mail
or other electronic communication which we in good faith believe you have
submitted to us. We have no duty to investigate the validity or to verify any
e-Mail or other electronic communication. We may respond to an e-Mail
communication provided by you to either the address provided with the
communication or the e-Mail address within this agreement
([email protected]).
Any e-Mail returned to us as undelivered may be re-sent to you at any other e-Mail address that we have in your file, unless you have previously informed us through electronic or written notice that an e-Mail address is no longer valid.
Although we have no obligation to do so, we reserve the right to require authentication of e-Mails or electronic communications. The decision to require authentication will be at the sole discretion of the Credit Union. We will have no obligation, liability or responsibility to you or any other person or company if we do not act upon or follow any instruction to us if a communication cannot be authenticated to our satisfaction.
6. Use of Your Security Password/PIN (Personal Identification Number)
To access your online accounts, you must use your Internet Access Account Password/PIN. To use the Bill Payment service, you must use your Bill Payment Password/PIN. Authorized use of your Password/PIN for any Internet Account Access transaction or Bill Payment transaction is an order by you for that transaction on your Online Accounts.
Delivering your Password/PIN to another person constitutes authorization of that person to conduct any Internet Account Access inquiry or transaction on your Online Accounts and/or to utilize the Bill Payment services to make payments from your Online Accounts. You will be liable for all authorized Internet Account Access transactions and for all authorized Alliance Pay Bill Payment transactions.
You will hold your Password/PIN in strict confidence. You will have the capability to change your Password/PIN using the Internet Account Access and Bill Payment services. You are strongly encouraged to change your Password/PIN periodically as a privacy and security precaution.
In order to protect yourself against fraud, you should observe the following guidelines:
If you believe your password/PIN has been lost or stolen, or if you suspect any fraudulent activity on your account, call the Credit Union immediately at 352-372-8225 or 800-432-6928 between the hours of 9 A.M. and 5 P.M., Monday through Friday (NOTE: offices do not open until 10 A.M. on Wednesdays). Telephoning the Credit Union is the best way of minimizing your losses and liability (See Sections 11 and 12 of this Agreement).
If the Credit Union receives such notice, the Credit Union may, at its discretion, freeze your Online Accounts to prevent further electronic access. The Credit Union may, at its sole discretion, reissue and reactivate a new PIN and/or Password for your use.
If you believe your Password/PIN has been lost or stolen, please use the Password/PIN change feature within the Internet Account Access section of the Web site to change your Password/PIN.
7. Electronic Mail (e-Mail)
Use of Electronic Mail (e-Mail) to make inquiries about an electronic funds transfer error, to report unauthorized transactions, or to contact the Credit Union regarding other concerns of a confidential nature.
If you send the Credit Union an e-Mail message, the Credit Union will be deemed to have received it on the following business day. Because of this delay, you should not rely on E-Mail if you need to report an unauthorized transaction from one of your accounts or if you need to stop a payment that is scheduled to occur. Additionally, you should be aware that most e-Mail transmissions are not secure. We advise you not to send us or ask for sensitive information such as account numbers, Password/PIN, account information, etc. via any general or public e-Mail system. We can easily retrieve your account information at the at the Credit Union, so you need only reference the name under which the account is held. However, if you are using an e-Mail system you believe to be secure, you may use this system to communicate with the Credit Union regarding inquiries about an electronic funds transfer error resolution, reporting unauthorized transactions, or contacting the Credit Union regarding other concerns of a confidential nature.
We reserve the right to use various security measures to validate the identity of any party sending us information or requesting information via e-Mail to authenticate member identity.
8. Bill Payment Services
a. Description of Service. The Bill Payment Service permits you to use your Internet-enabled device to direct payments from your designated online Bill Payment Account to third parties you wish to pay. Your Bill Payment Account must be a checking account. Through the Bill Payment Service, you can pay bills from your Bill Payment Account to businesses or individuals.
All payments you make will be deducted from the checking account that you designate as your Bill Payment Account for the Bill Payment Service. Any payments you wish to make through this Service must be payable in U.S. dollars to a payee located in the continental United States. We reserve the right to restrict from time to time the types of payees to whom payments may be made using the Service. You should not use the Bill Payment Service to make tax payments, court-ordered payments, payments to any governmental agencies, or payments to payees outside of the United States. The Credit Union will not support these types of payments due to the difficulties of performing follow-up research with the payees in the event the payees claim non-receipt or late payment. The Credit Union will not accept liability for such payments should you initiate them using this Bill Payment service. Payments for these payees will be your sole responsibility if delayed or improperly processed or credited.
The Credit Union reserves the right to refuse to pay any payee to whom you may direct a payment. The Credit Union is obligated to notify you promptly if it decides to refuse to pay a payee designated by you. This notification is not required if you attempt to make a payment prohibited by this Agreement.
b. Scheduling Payments. Funds must be available in your Bill Payment Account on the scheduled payment date. If the date you schedule a payment to be initiated falls on a non-business day (Saturday, Sunday, or holiday), funds must be available in your Bill Payment Account the following business day (e.g. Monday). After funds are withdrawn from your Bill Payment Account to make a payment, we may make the payment either by transferring funds electronically to the payee or by mailing the payee a check.
You may choose to schedule payments to recur in the same amount at regular weekly, semi-monthly, or monthly intervals. When you create a new payee in the Bill Payment Service, it takes two (2) business days to set up the payee to receive payments. You should schedule a payment to a new payee at least ten (10) business days before any payment due date to allow us time to set up the payee and verify information about your account with the payee.
If the payment is an Automatic Clearing House (ACH) electronic payment, you agree that it will take up to four (4) business days to reach the payee. However, if the company or person that you are paying cannot accept an electronic payment, you agree that the Bill Payment Service will send a check that may take up to ten (10) business days to reach the payee. If you do not follow these time frames, you will be fully responsible for all late fees, finance charges or other actions taken by the payee. However, if you do schedule your payment and follow all instructions provided, but the payment is not received by the payee in a timely manner, the Credit Union will work with the payee on your behalf to reverse any late fees or charges.
c. No Duty to Monitor Payments. The Credit Union is only responsible for exercising ordinary care in processing and sending payments upon your authorization in accordance with this Agreement. The Credit Union will not be liable in any way for damages you incur for any of the following reasons:
· insufficient funds in your Bill Payment Account to make the payment on the processing date;
· delays in mail delivery;
· changes to the payee's address or account number unless we've been advised of the change in advance;
· failure of any payee to correctly account for or credit the payment in a timely manner; or
· any other circumstances beyond the control of the Credit Union.
If the session during which you schedule a payment or transfer ends by 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time, the Credit Union will be considered to have received it on that day. Otherwise, the payment or transfer will be considered received on the following business day. For all entries made using the Services, the time recorded by the Internet Account Access Service will be considered the official time of the transaction.
If your Bill Payment Account does not have sufficient funds to make a payment as of the date the payment is debited to your account, the Bill Payment Service will automatically block future Bill Payment Service until the account has sufficient funds to make the payment. The Credit Union will attempt to notify you by e-Mail or U.S. Postal Mail, but the Credit Union shall have no obligation or liability if it does not complete a payment because there are insufficient funds in your account to process a payment. In all cases, you are responsible for contacting the Service at 1-800-823-7555 either to make alternate arrangements for the payment or to reschedule the payment through the Service. In the case of fixed recurring payments, only the payment currently scheduled will be impacted. Fixed recurring payments scheduled for future dates should not be affected.
d. Cancel or Change Payment Instructions. Payments must be changed or canceled using the Service prior to 9:00 p.m. on the business day the transaction is scheduled to be initiated. If you ask us to cancel a payment after it is issued and we agree to do so, we may charge you a stop payment fee. Stop payment orders, oral or written, will be in effect for a period of six (6) months. If requested by the Credit Union, you will confirm any stop payment order in writing. After six (6) months, any stop payment will terminate and must be renewed in order to continue in effect. The Credit Union may pay any item that is presented following the lapse of any stop payment order.
e. No Signature Required. When any payment or other online Service generates items to be charged to your account, you agree that we may debit your Bill Payment account without requiring your signature on the item, and without prior notice to you. By providing the Credit Union with the names and account information of those payees to whom you wish to direct payment, you authorize the Credit Union to follow your payment instructions as transmitted using the Bill Payment system. When you schedule payments using the Bill Payment system, you authorize the Credit Union to debit your Online account on the scheduled date and to subsequently remit funds to the designated payee on your behalf.
f. Multiple Person Bill Payment Accounts. If more than one person has access to a Bill Payment account, each person may individually enroll in the Bill Pay service. Each enrolled person needs a unique password but may choose to use the same payee list. Each individual may terminate her/his enrollment in the Bill Payment service without affecting the Service for any other person enrolled in that Bill Payment account. However, any enrolled person may terminate the Bill Payment service, which will terminate the service for all enrolled persons on that Bill Payment account.
g. Password and Security. You agree not to give or make available your Bill Payment Password/PIN or other means to access your Online Accounts to any unauthorized individuals. You are responsible for all bill payments you authorize using the Credit Union's Bill Payment system. If you permit other persons to use the Credit Union Bill Payment system, or your Bill Payment Password/PIN or other means to access your Online Accounts, you are responsible for any transactions they authorize. If you believe that your Bill Payment Password/PIN has been lost or stolen or that someone may attempt to access your Online Accounts without your consent or has transferred money without your permission, you must notify the Credit Union (412 East University Avenue, Gainesville, FL 32601) at once by calling 352-372-8225 or 800-432-6928 during Credit Union business hours.
h. Exclusions of Warranties. The Bill Payment service and related documentation are provided "as is" without any warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.

Electronic Funds Transfer Disclosure
Consumer's Liability for Unauthorized Transfers and Advisability of Prompt Reporting
Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your Password/PIN has been lost or stolen. Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. You could lose all the money in your Account (plus your maximum Line of Credit). If you tell us within two business days, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your Password/PIN without your permission.
If you do NOT tell us within two business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Password/PIN, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your Password/PIN without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.
Also, if your statement shows transfers that you did not make, tell us at once.

Charges for Transfers or Right to Make Transfers
Please refer to section 4 of this Agreement. No fee will be charged for Alliance
Acce$$ Internet Account access if you have a qualifying checking account
relationship with the Credit Union. You may be charged a fixed monthly fee for
access to the Alliance Pay Bill Payment service, which will be based upon
your checking account relationship with the Credit Union. This fixed fee will
be charged regardless of whether the Internet Access Service or Bill Payment service
was used during the billing cycle. There may be a charge for additional
transactions and other optional services. See Fee Schedule. You agree to pay
such charges and authorize the Credit Union to charge your Checking Account for
these amounts and any additional charges that may be incurred by you (or your
Share Savings Account if you have no checking account relationship with the
Credit Union and only enroll in our Internet Account Access service.) Any fees
associated with your standard share savings and checking accounts will continue
to apply. You are responsible for any and all telephone access fees and/or
Internet service fees that may be assessed by your telephone and/or Internet
service providers.
Right to Receive Documentation of Transfers
You will receive a monthly account statement from us for your Checking
Account(s). These statements may arrive either electronically or via US mail,
depending upon the relationship option you’ve accepted.
If you do not have a Checking Account, you will get a monthly account statement from us for your Share Savings Account(s), unless there are no electronic transfers in a particular month. In any case, you will get a statement at least quarterly. Again, these statements may arrive either electronically or via US mail, depending upon the relationship option you’ve accepted.
If you have arranged to have a direct deposit made to your account at least once every sixty (60) days from the same source and you do not receive a receipt for such deposits, you can find out whether or not the deposit has been made by using the Internet Account Access service or by calling 352-372-8225 or 800-432-6928. This does not apply to transactions occurring outside the United States.
Disclosure of Account Information to Third Parties
We will disclose information to third parties about your account or the
transfers you make:
1. Where it is necessary for completing transactions;
2. In order to verify the existence and condition of your account to a third party, such as a credit bureau, merchant, or Payee;
3. To a consumer reporting agency for research purposes only;
4. In order to comply with a governmental agency or court orders; or,
