To send an e-Transfer you must provide the recipient's email address or mobile phone number and, except for a Request Money e-Transfer or Autodeposit e-Transfer, a security question will be used to authenticate the recipient of the transfer (a "Security Question"). As the sender, you will keep the answer to the Security Question confidential and not share it with anyone other than the recipient. To receive an e-Transfer, you must, except for a Request Money e-Transfer or Autodeposit e-Transfer, correctly answer the Security Question.
      2. You agree that, as a sender of an e-Transfer it is your responsibility to: (a) provide accurate information regarding the recipient; (b) except for a Request Money e-Transfer or Autodeposit e-Transfer, create an effective Security Question; (c) except for a Request Money e-Transfer or Autodeposit e-Transfer, not include the answer within the e-Transfer details, or within an email (including Secure Messaging) or other optional message that may accompany the e-Transfer.
      3. We will be entitled to pay the e-Transfer amount to anyone who, using the Interac e-Transfer Service, claims to be the recipient and, except for a Request Money e-Transfer or Autodeposit e-Transfer, successfully provides the answer to the Security Question, whether or not that person is the intended recipient. All disputes will be handled directly between the sender and the recipient.
      4. The e-Transfer is only available in Canadian dollars to a Canadian bank account.
      5. Request Money e-Transfer and Autodeposit e-Transfer are only available where both the sender's and the requester's (the proposed recipient) financial institution participate in the use of these Interac e-Transfer Services.
      6. You should respond only to Interac e-Transfer Service requests when you know the person making the request, and the reason for the request.
      7. As a requestor (proposed recipient) of a Request Money e-Transfer, you should ensure that the proposed sender has consented to you providing, or using, the contact information of the proposed sender for the purpose of requesting the Request Money e-Transfer.
      8. A proposed sender can choose to decline the Request Money e-Transfer.
      9. As a requestor of a Request Money e-Transfer, you can cancel the Request Money e-Transfer at any time before it has been fulfilled by the proposed sender.

      11. Servus will not be liable for any cost, expense, loss, damage, or inconvenience of any nature or kind whatever arising as a result of a delay in processing an e-Transfer or for e-Transfers claimed by someone other than the intended recipient.
  5. 4. REMOTE DEPOSITS – If you use the Photo Deposit Service you acknowledge and agree that:

    1. Servus appoints you as its agent, to act on its behalf in the creation and transmission of an Official Image to Servus, all in accordance with the CPA Rules and applicable legislation and other laws governing negotiable instruments. In this context, transmission to and receipt by Servus of the Official Image will have the same effect as if the negotiable instrument was delivered to a branch of Servus for negotiation and clearing. You acknowledge and agree that this role as agent cannot be further delegated. Further, you acknowledge and agree that you shall be responsible and liable for:
      1. ensuring that all Official Images created and transmitted satisfy the Eligibility Criteria,
      2. subject to Section 4.b.vi applicable to the time period for retaining originals of Official Images transmitted to Servus for deposit to your Account, maintaining adequate safeguards and procedures for the preservation of originals of all Negotiable Items transmitted as Official Images, and
      3. verifying that deposits expected to be made to the Account reconcile with dates and amounts applicable to transmissions made using the Photo Deposit Service and for providing immediate written notice to Servus of any errors, omissions, irregularities, or concerns about suspicions of fraudulent negotiable instruments or that compromise the security applicable to the use of the Photo Deposit Service.
    2. Servus may, upon satisfying itself that the image transmitted to it as an Official Image meets the Eligibility Criteria, treat it as if it were an original of a negotiable instrument received at a branch of Servus, subject to the Member Agreement and any policies of Servus governing negotiable instruments (provided to you upon request).
      1. You agree to take all proper and necessary precautions to prevent any other person from purporting to create or transmit an Official Image to the credit of your Account.
      2. Servus is not obligated to accept for deposit any image purporting to be a Negotiable Item transmitted to it as an Official Image that does not satisfy the Eligibility Criteria. If you have any suspicions or concerns about the authenticity, validity, negotiability, or chain of title to any item purporting to be a Negotiable Item, then you cannot use the Photo Deposit Service for negotiation or collection of that item, but you will instead be required to bring the original of that item to the counter of the Servus branch of your Account, identify the specific concerns to Servus, and fully disclose all material facts known by you relating to that item and fully cooperate with any inquiry or investigation of the concerns.
      3. Official Images received through the Photo Deposit Service are subject to number and dollar limits that may change from time to time without prior notice to you. For example, there are limits on the amount of funds you can deposit through Photo Deposit Service on a daily and monthly basis. If you attempt to make a deposit in excess of the limits set by Servus, we may reject your deposit
      4. Once an Official Image of a Negotiable Item has been transmitted to Servus through the Photo Deposit Service, no further Official Images of that Negotiable Item will be created or transmitted through the Photo Deposit Service (or any other similar service) unless you are requested to do so by Servus in writing. Further, you agree to make no further use of the original of an imaged Negotiable Item, and shall safely retain possession of the original of the Negotiable Item without further negotiation, transfer, or delivery to any other person or holder.
      5. On transmission of an Official Image of a Negotiable Item to Servus, you are responsible for immediately marking the face of the Negotiable Item with a blatant notation or mark that prevents renegotiation of the Negotiable Item and indicates that the Negotiable Item has been imaged and transmitted, taking care not to obliterate any material particulars of that Negotiable Item. (Servus recommends that this be done by writing “deposited” at the bottom of the Negotiable Item.).
      6. For a period of 90 calendar days after transmission of the Official Image to Servus, or such shorter period as stipulated by Servus in writing, you shall retain and produce to Servus on written request the original of all imaged Negotiable Items. If you receive a written request to retain or produce the Official Image, you will comply with the written request, and shall, if requested, produce, by delivering to Servus, the original of all specified Negotiable Items within a reasonable period of time of that request. If you fail to comply with the written request made pursuant to this provision, then Servus can place a hold on or reverse any credit made to the Account in relation to those specified Negotiable Items, even if that creates an overdraft on the Account. If no written request is received within that time, then 90 calendar days after an Official Image has been transmitted to Servus through the Photo Deposit Service or such shorter period as stipulated by Servus in writing, and provided that you have verified a credit to the Account that reconciles to the Official Image transmitted, you agree to immediately proceed with destruction of the original of the Negotiable Item. Destruction methods include shredding, pulping, burning, or any other means that ensures that the original Negotiable Item cannot be reused.
      7. You are responsible for any and all costs associated with obtaining a replacement negotiable instrument in the event that Servus requests that you re-transmit an Official Image in accordance with Section 4.b.iv above, and the original Negotiable Item was destroyed in accordance with Section 4.b.vi above or otherwise lost.
      8. You will comply with the Photo Deposit Instructions.
  6. 5. THIRD PARTIES

    1. Third Party Services and Software: Servus may from time to time make services or software provided by a third party (the "Third Party") available through the Website or the Services. You acknowledge and agree that:
      1. The services and software of a Third Party are made available for your convenience only. The services and software are provided by the Third Party and not Servus, even if you access them using the Services;

      4. You assume all risks associated with accessing or using the services or software of Third Parties.
