I. Introduction
This Disclosure and Agreement for accessing your CU SoCal accounts
using CU OnLine™ is provided for your information. Please read it
carefully as it pertains to your accounts and electronic services. For
the purpose of this Agreement, the terms "we," "us," "our," "CU SoCal"
and "credit union" refer to Credit Union of Southern California. "You"
refers to our Members and account owners.
Each time you access your CU SoCal account(s) through CU OnLine™, you
confirm your agreement to abide by the Disclosure and Agreement and
acknowledges your receipt and understanding of this disclosure.
Furthermore, you agree that your use of CU OnLine™ and your obligations
under this Agreement means that you're consenting to the electronic
delivery to you by CU SoCal of all disclosures and other information
required by law. We may change terms or amend this Agreement from time
to time without notice or as otherwise provided by law. CU OnLine™
services can be used to access certain CU SoCal accounts. Each of your
accounts at CU SoCal is also governed by the applicable account
disclosure statement (prior receipt of which you acknowledge).
This Agreement will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with
federal law and regulation, and to the extent that there is no
applicable federal law or regulation, by the laws of the State of
California. To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that
any legal action regarding this Agreement shall be brought in the county
in which the credit union is located.
II. Keeping Your Account Confidential
A. Password Protection
For your protection, we recommend that you regularly change your
password used to access CU OnLine™. You can change your password using
the Preference menu. You agree to hold your password in strict
confidence and you will notify us immediately if it's lost or stolen.
You're responsible for keeping your password and account information
confidential.
B. Personal Information Protection
In addition to protecting your password and account information,
you should also protect your personal identification information, such
as your driver's license, Social Security Number, etc. This
information, alone or together with information on your account, may
allow unauthorized access to your account. It's your responsibility
to protect your personal information with the same level of care that
you protect your account information.

Our business days and hours are: Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to
6 p.m. PST, Saturdays 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. PST (Brea, Covina, City
of Industry and Telephone Service Center ONLY), excluding holidays. You

B. Email
Sending email through our Home Page is one way to communicate with
us. We've provided email links for you to ask general questions or
give comments regarding our Home Page or CU OnLine™ service. Please
note that email isn't initiated from a secure session. To ensure the
security of your account information, you can't use email to
initiate transactions on your account(s). In addition, we recommend
that you contact us by telephone to report any problems or ask
questions about your account. Further, don't include personal
information such as your social security number or account number in
any email to us. We'll never email you asking you to verify this
information.
IV. Electronic Banking Disclosure
A. Account Access
CU OnLine™ is a service provided to our Members. By using CU
OnLine™ with your personal access code, you can:
- Make inquiries
- Check account balances
- Transfer funds between your savings, checking, money market and
loan accounts
- Access your current or past monthly transaction history
- Request a withdrawal or loan advance by check
- Download account transaction history into personal financial
management software, such as Quicken and Microsoft Money
Services available may be added or canceled at any time. We'll
update this Agreement to 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 contained in this Agreement.
CU OnLine™ is available seven days a week, 24 hours a day. However,
from time to time some or all of CU OnLine™ services may not be
available due to system maintenance or upgrades. During such times,
you may be able to use PhoneTeller (our automated 24 hour service),
call our Telephone Service Center or visit one of our branches. (See
How to Reach Us for business hours.)
B. Limitations on Funds Transfers
from Savings Accounts
Pursuant to federal regulations, you're limited as to the number
of certain transactions you can make on your savings and Money Market
accounts. Transfers from Shares will be limited to a total of six (6)
in any one month. You may transfer any available balance, unless
limited under another agreement.
Online transfers are transfers from savings to checking initiated
through CU OnLine™. Telephone transfers are transfers from savings to
checking initiated by a personal telephone call or by using
PhoneTeller. Preauthorized transfers are transfers made according to a
specific agreement between a Member and us, or another party. (Examples
of preauthorized transfers are automatic overdraft transfers from
savings to checking, or regular electronic payments from savings made
to a third party, such as health clubs, insurance companies, etc.)
Check access refers to any checks you write on your Money Market share
accounts.
C. Disclosure of Information to
Third Parties
We'll disclose information about your account to third parties
only when one of the following conditions exist:
- when necessary to complete a transaction requested by you
- in order to verify the existence and status of your account(s),
such as for a retail merchant or credit reporting agency
- in order to comply with government agencies or court orders
- if you give us written permission
D. In Case of Errors or Questions About Your Electronic
Transfers:
You'll get a monthly account statement (unless there are no
transfers in a particular month).
Call us at 562.698.8326, or write to us at the address shown
in How to Reach Us as soon as you can if you
think your statement or receipt is wrong, or if you need more
information about a transaction listed on your statement or
transaction receipt. We must hear from you no later than 60 days after
we sent the FIRST statement on which the problem or error appeared.
In order to help you with your questions, we'll need the
following information:
- your name, account number and transaction date in question
- the situation you're unsure about, and why you believe there's
an error or why you need more information
- the dollar amount of the suspect transaction
If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your
complaint or question in writing within 10 business days.
In most instances you'll receive the results of our investigation
within 10 business days and we'll correct any error promptly. If we
need more time, however, we may take up to 45 calendar days to
investigate your question. If we do this, we'll provisionally credit
your account within 10 business days for the amount you think is in
error so that you'll have the use of the money during the
investigative period. If we ask you to put your complaint or question
in writing and we don't receive it within 10 business days of our
request, we may not provisionally credit your account. The 10 business
day and 45 calendar day time periods will be extended to 20 business
days and 90 calendar days, respectively, for any transaction initiated
at a point-of-sale or ATM location, or a transaction made outside the
United States.
We'll send you a written explanation within three business days
following our decision, based on our investigation. You may ask for
copies of the documents that we used in our investigation.
E. Lost or Stolen Access Code:
If you believe your personal access code has been lost or stolen or
that someone has transferred or may transfer money from your account
without your permission, call us at 562.698.8326, or write to us
at the address shown in How to Reach Us as soon as
you can.
If you tell us within two (2) business days, you can lose no more
than $50 if someone used your personal access code without our
permission. (If you believe your personal access code has been lost or
stolen, and you tell us within two (2) business days after you learn
of the loss or theft, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used
your personal access code without your permission.)
If you DON'T tell us within two (2) business days after you learn
of the loss or theft of your personal access code and we can prove
that we could have stopped someone from using your personal access
code without your permission if you'd told us, you could lose as
much as $500.
Also, if your statement shows transfers that you didn't make, tell
us at once. If you don't tell us within 60 days after the statement
was mailed to you, you may not get back any money you lost after 60
days if we can prove that we could've stopped someone from taking
the money if you'd told us in time. If a good reason (such as a long
trip or hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we'll extend the
time periods.
If you authorize someone else to use your CU OnLine™ personal
access code, you're responsible for all transactions which that
person initiates at any time, even if the amount of the transaction or
number of transactions exceeds what you authorized.
F. Incomplete Transfer of Funds:
If you don't complete a transfer to or from your account on time
or in the correct amount according to our agreement with you, we'll
be liable for your losses and damages. However, there are some
exceptions. We'll not be liable, for instance:
- If, through no fault of ours, you don't have enough money in
your account to make the transfer.
- If the transfer would go over the credit limit on your overdraft
line.
- If the system wasn't working properly and you knew about the
breakdown when you started the transfer.
- If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood)
prevent the transfer, despite reasonable precautions that we've
taken.
- There may be other exceptions stated in our agreement with you.
V. Miscellaneous Fees and Charges
Any service charges for using CU OnLine™ will be shown in the
Schedule of Fees and Charges, prior
receipt of which you acknowledge, and may be changed by us from time
to time.
Please note that fees, such as Internet access fees or telephone
line charges, may be assessed and billed separately by your online
service provider or phone company.
VI. Other General Terms
Other Agreements - In addition to this Agreement, you agree to be
bound by and will comply with all disclosures and agreements
applicable to your account with CU SoCal, as described in "About Your
Credit Union Accounts", prior receipt of which you acknowledge.
Severability - In the event that any portion of this Agreement is
held by a court to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the
remainder of this Agreement shall not be invalid or unenforceable and
will continue in full force and effect. All headings are intended for
reference only and aren't to be construed as part of the Agreement.
Right to Terminate Agreement - CU SoCal reserves the right to
terminate this Agreement and your access to CU OnLine™, in whole or in
part, at any time.
Our Liability - Except as specifically provided in this Agreement
or where the law requires a different standard, you agree that neither
we nor the service providers shall be responsible for any loss,
property damage or bodily injury, whether caused by the equipment,
software, CU SoCal OR by Internet browser providers such as Netscape
(Netscape Navigator) and Microsoft (Microsoft Explorer) OR by
Internet access providers OR by online service providers OR by an
agent or subcontractor of any of the foregoing. Nor shall we or the
service providers be responsible for any direct, indirect, special or
consequential economic or other damages arising in any way out of the
installation, download, use or maintenance of the equipment,
software, CU OnLine™ services or Internet browser or access software.
In this regard, although we've taken measures to provide security
for communications from you to us via CU OnLine™ and may have referred
to such communication as "secured," we can't and don't provide any
warranty or guarantee of such security.
We invite you to print a copy of this CU OnLine™
Disclosure and Agreement and retain it for your records. If you ask, we'll mail you a hard copy of the CU OnLine™ Disclosure and Agreement.
