We reserve the right to reject any image transmitted. We are not responsible for any images which we do not receive. An image shall be deemed to be received when you obtain a confirmation from FIR 2013. Receipt of confirmation does not mean that the transmission was error free or complete.

We reserve the right to chargeback to your account the amount of any image that we have later determined was not an Eligible Cheque. You agree that FIR 2013 will not be responsible for any loss, costs or fees associated with such chargeback.

  • Always exiting our Internet banking site using the “log out” button and closing your browser if you step away from your computer; and
  • Securing or erasing files stored on your computer by your browser 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 increases 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.

13. Liability for Electronic Banking Service Transactions and Mobile Banking Service Transactions

  • Your failure to notify us as soon as you have become aware that your Password may have become known to someone else; or
  • An entry error or a fraudulent or worthless deposit made through any Electronic Banking Service or Mobile Banking Service.

Your liability may exceed your account’s credit balance or available funds if:

  • The account has overdraft protection or is linked to an account with this feature; or
  • The transaction is completed on the basis of an entry error or a fraudulent or worthless deposit made through an Electronic Banking Service or Mobile Banking Service.

We will consider requests to release you from liability for transactions completed through an          Electronic Banking Service where it can be shown that you were the victim of fraud, theft or have been coerced by trickery, force or intimidation provided that you:

i. fulfill all of your obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, those relating to security and confidentiality of your Password);

ii. report the incident to us as soon as possible by speaking directly with a representative of FIR 2013 (transactions that occur before you notify FIR are not necessarily reimbursable);

• You cannot cancel a Payment after it has been authorized by you, and you agree that we and our Interac® Online Payment service providers, Central 1 and Acxsys Corporation, are entitled to pay an Interac® Online Payment from your account to a third party merchant once such Payment has been authorized by you;

• If the third party merchant does not accept the Payment within a reasonable time (as determined by FIR in its sole discretion), or cancels or declines receipt, then the funds will be returned to your account within a reasonable time thereafter;

• We may cancel a Payment without notice to you if we have reason to believe a mistake has occurred or if we believe the Payment is a product of unlawful or fraudulent activity; and

We will not be liable for losses incurred by you as a sender or recipient of an Interac® e-Transfer as a result of any misuse, improper communication or disclosure of the answer to the security question. All disputes must be handled directly between the sender and the recipient.

You acknowledge that Interac® e-Transfers are subject to number and dollar limits that may change from time to time without notice to you. We cannot guarantee the date that we will process an Interac® e-Transfer transaction, and we will not be liable for any costs, expenses, losses or inconvenience that the sender or recipient may incur as a result of a delay in processing an Interac® e-Transfer.

Your use of your debit card and the Mobile Payment Service is subject to the additional terms in the FIR MemberCard Debit Card/Personal Identification Number/Mobile Payment Service Agreement.

You also understand that your use of the Mobile Payment Service may 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.

The collection, use and disclosure of your personal information is governed by the FIR Privacy and Market Code. In addition, you agree that FIR 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.

FIR 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.

18. 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 required to operate the Account, then you agree that FIR 2013 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.

19. 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.

Personal Financial Management Service Terms and Conditions

The terms and conditions herein only apply if you choose to use the Personal Financial Management ("PFM") Services. If there is a conflict between these PFM terms and the overall Terms and Conditions, the terms of this Section will apply to the extent necessary to resolve the conflict.

The PFM Services allow you to pull data from your FIR account as well as your accounts with other financial institutions ("non-FIR accounts") and to categorize and/or aggregate such account information in order to provide you with a complete financial overview. FIR provides the PFM Services through Jack Henry & Associates, Inc., doing business as Geezeo ("Geezeo"). 

For the purposes of providing the PFM Services, you authorize and direct FIR and Geezeo to retrieve account information in your name and on your behalf from the specific FIR and non-FIR accounts you have selected to be aggregated, and to consolidate, organize, and present such account information in aggregated form to you as part of the PFM Services. You confirm that you have the right to give FIR and Geezeo this authorization and direction. For greater certainty, you understand and agree that use of the PFM Services requires you to disclose to FIR and Geezeo confidential account information, including your login details for non-FIR accounts and other non-FIR account information necessary for providing the PFM Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, FIR does not store or otherwise have access to non-FIR account information. Geezeo will store all information required to access your non-FIR accounts.

You are responsible, on an ongoing basis, for determining whether use of the PFM Services violates any of the terms governing your non-FIR accounts, as well as for the consequences of any such violation. You are responsible for ensuring that your account access information is accurate, complete and up-to-date, and neither FIR nor Geezeo is responsible for the accuracy, completeness and/or currency of any non-FIR account information or any information provided through the PFM Services. You agree not to misrepresent your identity or your account information in connection with any use of the PFM Services. Further, you are prohibited from copying, reproducing, distributing or creating derivative works from any content provided to you through the PFM Services. You acknowledge and agree that FIR's version of your FIR account data is the one true version and supersedes any data in the PFM Services.

You acknowledge that FIR or Geezeo can, at any time, refuse to aggregate any FIR or non-FIR account in connection with the PFM Services; remove, for any reason, any FIR or non-FIR account from the PFM Services; or limit the number of FIR or non-FIR accounts allowed to be aggregated in connection with the PFM Services. 

You acknowledge and agree that the PFM Services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, and that your use of the PFM Services is at your sole risk. You acknowledge and agree that FIR and Geezeo expressly disclaim all warranties of any kind as to the PFM Services, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, all to the fullest extent permitted by law. You acknowledge and agree that FIR is not responsible for any loss of any kind whatever relating to your use of the PFM Services. You acknowledge and agree that using the PFM Services does not obligate FIR or Geezeo to monitor any non-FIR account for unusual, unauthorized or otherwise fraudulent activity.  

You understand FIR may collect data about you in connection with your use of the PFM Services, and consent to FIR's use of that data to market FIR services to you related to the PFM Services.

You authorize the disclosure of your FIR account information to non-FIR financial institutions in connection with PFM Services or similar services provided at your request by such other financial institutions.

You may withdraw from the PFM Services and/or withdraw your consent to receive marketing and promotional offers at any time by contacting FIR at info@firstinterestreserve.com.

Please read these Terms of Use carefully. These Terms of Use are a legal agreement between you and us, and you are responsible for reviewing and understanding all terms applicable to your use of Third-Party Digital Wallets. If you do not agree to all applicable terms, you may not use Third-Party Digital Wallets in connection with FIR cards. If you add, activate or use your card for use with a Third-Party Digital Wallet, it means that you accept and agree to these Terms of Use.

In these Terms of Use, "you" and "your" means each Credit Union Member who has been issued a Credit Union card. "We", "us", "our" and "Credit Union" means FIR 2013. "Provider" means a third-party providing a Third-Party Digital Wallet.

Other Documents and Agreements:

These Terms of Use are in addition to, and supplement, all other agreements between Credit Union and Member regarding Credit Union’s products and 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.

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 Digital Wallet at any time, if we cannot verify the card, if we suspect that there may be fraud associated with the use of the card, if your 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 suspended or removed from a Third-Party Digital Wallet by the Provider.

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:

We do not charge you any fees for adding a card to a Third-Party Digital Wallet. Please consult your card agreement for any applicable fees or other charges associated with your card.

Your mobile service carrier, the Provider or other third parties may charge you service fees in connection with your use of your device or a Third-Party Digital Wallet.

Security:

You must contact us immediately if your card is lost or stolen, if your device is lost or stolen, or if your card account is compromised. If you get a new device, you must delete all your card and other personal information from your prior device.

You are required to contact us immediately if there are errors or if you suspect fraud with your card. We will resolve any potential error or fraudulent purchase in accordance with the applicable account agreement.

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).

The Provider is responsible for the security of information provided 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 you enter into a Third-Party Digital Wallet. Only the individual member whose name is associated with the card should add the card to a Third-Party Digital Wallet.

Privacy:

You consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information from time to time as provided in our privacy policy, which is available on our website. We may share with or receive from a Provider such information as may reasonably be necessary to determine your eligibility for, enrollment in and use of a Third-Party Digital 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 update your contact information when it changes by contacting us. You may also contact us if you wish to withdraw your consent to receive these communications but doing so may result in your inability to continue to use your card(s) in a Third-Party Digital Wallet.
