Description:
The remote deposit capture service ("Mobile Deposit" or "Service") is designed to allow you to make deposits to your checking, money market checking or savings accounts from your camera-enabled mobile device capable of capturing check images and information and electronically delivering the items and associated deposit information to us or our designated processor. The device must capture an image of the front and back of each check to be deposited; 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 or Federal Reserve regulations for the processing of these checks for payment.
Hardware and Software Requirements:
You must have a Mobile Device that is acceptable to us and a wireless plan from a compatible mobile wireless provider. You must also use the operating system(s) and software that satisfies all technical specifications and other requirements that we and/or our service provider(s) establish and specify. We and/or our service provider(s) may change these specifications and/or requirements from time to time. We are not responsible for any third-party software you may need to use the Service. You agree that you will perform, or cause to be performed by properly trained personnel, all vendor-recommended maintenance, repairs, upgrades and replacements. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, you are solely responsible, at your own expense, for purchasing, installing, operating, testing and maintaining all hardware and software necessary to use the Service. We are not responsible for, and you release us from, any and all claims or damages resulting from, or related to, any computer virus or related problems that may be associated with using the Service, e-mail or the Internet. You agree that all images and files transmitted to us through the Service will contain no viruses or any other disabling features that may have an adverse impact on our network, data, or related systems.

Receipt of Items:
We reserve the right to reject any item transmitted through the Service, at our discretion, without liability to you. We are not responsible for items we do not receive or for images that are dropped during transmission. An image of an item shall be deemed received when you receive a confirmation from us that we have received the image. Receipt of such confirmation does not mean that the transmission was error-free or complete.

Availability of Funds:
You agree that items transmitted using the Service are not subject to the funds availability requirements of Federal Reserve Board Regulation CC. In general, if an image of an item you transmit through the Service is received and accepted before 8:00 pm on a business day that we are open, we consider that day to be the day of your deposit. Otherwise, we will consider that the deposit was made on the next business day we are open. Funds deposited using the Service generally will be made available next business day from the day of deposit. We may make such funds available sooner based on such factors as credit worthiness, the length and extent of your relationship with us, transaction and experience information, and such other factors as we, in our sole discretion, deem relevant.

Eligible items:
You agree to scan and deposit only "checks" as that term is defined in Federal Reserve Regulation CC ("Reg. CC"). When the image of the check transmitted to us is converted to an Image Replacement Document for subsequent presentment and collection, it shall thereafter be deemed an "item" within the meaning of Articles 3 and 4 of the Uniform Commercial Code.

You agree that you will not scan and deposit any of the following types of checks or other items which shall be considered ineligible items:
- Checks payable to any person or entity other than the person or entity that owns the account that the check is being deposited into
- Checks containing an alteration on the front of the check or item, or which you know or suspect, or should know or suspect, are fraudulent or otherwise not authorized by the owner of the account on which the check is drawn
- Checks payable jointly, unless deposited into an account in the name of all payees.
- Checks previously converted to a substitute check, as defined in Reg. CC.
- Checks drawn on a financial institution located outside the United States.
- Checks that are remotely created checks, as defined in Reg. CC.
- Checks not payable in United States currency.
- Checks dated more than 6 months prior to the date of deposit.
- Checks or items prohibited by our current procedures relating to the Services or which are otherwise not acceptable under the terms of your account.

- Checks that have previously been submitted through the Service or through a remote deposit capture service offered at any other financial institution.
- Checks or items that are drawn on or otherwise issued by the U.S. Treasury Department
Endorsements and Procedures:
You agree to restrictively endorse any item transmitted through the Service by writing "FOR MOBILE DEPOSIT ONLY, F&M BANK” or as otherwise instructed by us. You agree to follow any and all other procedures and instructions for use of the Service as we may establish from time to time. Endorsements must be made on the back of the check within 1½ inches from the top edge, although we may accept endorsements outside this space. Any loss we incur from a delay or processing error resulting from an irregular endorsement or other markings by you will be your responsibility. For a check payable to you and any joint owner(s) of your account, the check must be endorsed by all such payees and you may only use Mobile Deposit to deposit such check into an account jointly owned by all such payees. If the check is payable to you or your joint owner, either of you can endorse it. If the check is made payable to you and any non-joint owner, you may not deposit the check into your account using the Service. You will promptly provide any retained item, or a sufficient copy of the front and back of the item, to us as requested to aid in the clearing and collection process, to resolve claims by third parties with respect to any item, or for our audit purposes.
Check Requirements (including image quality):
The image of an item transmitted to us using the Service must be legible and contain images of the front and back of the check. The image quality of the items must comply with the requirements established from time to time by the American National Standards Institute ("ANSI"), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Board, or any other regulatory agency, clearing house or association. These requirements include, but are not limited to, ensuring the following information can clearly be read and understood by sight review of the check image: the amount of the check (both written and numeric); the payee; the signature of the drawer (maker); the date; the check number; the information identifying the drawer and the paying financial institution that is preprinted on the check including the MICR line; and all other information placed on the check prior to the time of an image of the check is captured (such as any required identification written on the front of the check and any endorsements applied to the back of the check).

Storage, Security and Destruction/Disposal of the Checks:
After you receive confirmation that we have received an image, you must securely store the original check for 30 days after transmission to us and make the original check accessible to us at our request. Upon our request from time to time, you will deliver to us within two Business Days, at your expense, the requested original check in your possession. If not provided in a timely manner, such amount will be reversed from your account. Promptly after the 30-day retention period expires, you must destroy the original check by first marking it "VOID" and then destroying it by cross-cut shredding or another commercially acceptable means of destruction. After destruction of the original check, the image will be the sole evidence of the original check. You agree that you will never re-present the original check. You understand that you are responsible if anyone is asked to make a payment based on an original check that has already been paid.

Presenting Checks More Than Once:
Once you have used the Service to deposit a check you agree not to present, or allow anyone else to present, that original check or a substitute check of that original check again for deposit through the Service or by any other means. If you or anyone else presents a check or substitute check for deposit more than once, in violation of this Agreement, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold us harmless from and against all liability and damages that may result from any claims, suits or demands from third parties with respect to such check or substitute check. You agree that we may debit from your Bank account the aggregate amount of any checks that are deposited more than once. To the extent that funds in your account are insufficient to cover such amount, we shall debit the deficiency amount from any other of your account(s) with us in our sole discretion.

You agree that we are entitled to act upon instructions we receive with respect to the Service under your user ID, password, or other code or authentication method that we may require (these components are referred to herein collectively as your “Authentication Method”). You are liable for all transactions made or authorized with the use of your Authentication Method. We have no responsibility for establishing the identity of any person who uses your Authentication Method.

Rejection of Deposits:
After we receive check images and all other required deposit information from you through the Service, we shall provisionally credit your designated account for the total amount of such checks. The provisional credit is subject to final payment of the checks and is also subject to your Deposit Account Agreement. You agree that all deposits received by us are subject to verification and final inspection and may be rejected by us in our sole discretion, and you shall be liable to us for any errors, inaccuracies, breach of warranties and any other loss sustained by, or claim made against us relating to such deposits. We are not liable for any service or late charges that may be imposed against you due to our rejection of any Check that you transmit for deposit through the Service. In all cases, you are responsible for any loss or overdraft plus any applicable fees to your account due to a check being returned. You acknowledge and agree that, while we normally provide notice of rejected deposits, we may reject any check transmitted through the Service in our sole discretion without notice to you, and we will not be liable for any such rejection or failure to notify you of such rejection. If we reject a check for remote deposit, you must physically deposit the original check.

Unpaid Checks:
You are solely responsible for verifying that checks that you deposit by using the Service have been received and accepted for deposit by us. We will provide you with notice of any deposits that we were unable to process because checks were returned unpaid by the payor financial institution. You agree to accept such notices at your e-mail address on file with us, but we may choose any reasonable method for providing such notices to you. In the event that we credit your account for a check that is subsequently dishonored and returned, you authorize us to debit the amount of such check plus any associated fees from the account. To the extent that funds in your account are insufficient to cover such amount, we shall debit the deficiency amount from any of your other account(s) with us in our sole discretion. Our right to charge your account(s) will apply without regard to whether the check was timely returned or whether there is any other claim or defense that the check was improperly returned. You understand and agree that since the original check is your property, it will not be returned and we may charge back an image of the check, an ACH debit, or other electronic or paper debit, as applicable, to your account. You further agree that any image that we charge back may be in the form of an electronic or paper reproduction of the original check or a substitute check. You may not use the Service to deposit a substitute check and you may not deposit the original check through the Service or in any other manner if you receive a dishonored check. You agree to comply with any additional instructions we may provide to you in connection with returned checks.
