Aventa Credit Union Online Service E-Sign Disclosure and Consent

The Online Service E-Sign Disclosure and Consent (Disclosure), applies to all Communications for those products, services and Accounts offered or accessible through the Online Service, or a mobile application used to access the Online Service, that are not otherwise governed by the terms and conditions of an electronic disclosure and consent.

The words we, us, and our refer to Aventa Credit Union (Aventa), and the words you and your mean you, the individual(s) or entity identified on the Account(s). As used in this Disclosure, “Account" means the account(s) you have with us now or in the future, including ones which you open through the Online Service. Communication means any member account agreements or amendments thereto, monthly billing or account statements, tax statements, disclosures, notices, responses to claims, transaction history, privacy policies and all other information related to the product, service or Account, including but not limited to information that we are required by law to provide to you in writing. Online Service means Aventa’s online banking service.

1. Scope of Communications to be Provided in Electronic Form. You agree that we may provide you with any Communications in electronic format, and that we may discontinue sending paper Communications to you, unless and until you withdraw your consent as described below. Your consent to receive electronic communications and transactions includes, but is not limited to:

All legal and regulatory disclosures and communications associated with the Account, or the product or service available through the Online Service for your Account. As an example, Aventa may send by email legally required notification of changes to terms and conditions related to your Account(s) or the Online Service.
Notices or disclosures about a change in the terms of your Account or associated Account feature and responses to claims.
Privacy policies and notices.

Your consent to receive electronic Communications does not automatically enroll you in E- Statements. You must separately confirm that you would like to stop receiving paper account statements (and any other types of Communications we may include in E-Statements) by U.S. Mail.

2. Method of Providing Communications to You in Electronic Form. All Communications that we provide to you in electronic form will be provided by one or more of the following methods: (1) via email, (2) by access to a web site that we will designate in an email notice we send to you at the time the information is available; (3) to the extent permissible by law, by access to a web site that we will generally designate in advance for such purpose; or (4) by requesting you download a PDF file containing the Communication.

3. How to Withdraw Consent. You may withdraw your consent to receive Communications in electronic form by contacting us at 1.800.555.6665. Withdrawal of consent for E-Statements will result in a fee per statement per account (please refer to the Cost Recovery Schedule).

4. How to Update Your Records. It is your responsibility to provide us with accurate and complete email address, contact, and other information related to this Disclosure and your Account(s). You can update information (such as your email address) by using the Online Service or by contacting us at 1.800.555.6665.

5. Hardware and Software Requirements. In order to access, view, and retain electronic Communications from us, you must have:

the latest version of your internet browser to access your Account through Online Banking;
local, electronic storage capacity to retain our Communications and/or a printer to print them;
a valid email account and software to access it;
an up-to-date device or devices (e.g., computer, smartphone, tablet, etc.) suitable for connecting to the Internet; and
software that enables you to view files in the Portable Document Format ("PDF").

6. Requesting Paper Copies. You should not expect to receive a paper copy of any Communication, unless you request it or we otherwise deem it appropriate to do so. You can obtain a paper copy of an electronic communication by printing it yourself or by requesting that we mail you a paper copy, provided that such request is made within a reasonable time after we first provided the electronic Communication to you. To request a paper copy, contact us by telephone on 800.555.6665 or by coming into a branch. We may charge you a fee, of which we will provide you prior notice, for the delivery of paper copies of any Communication provided to you electronically pursuant to this authorization. We reserve the right, but assume no obligation, to provide a paper (instead of electronic) copy of any Communication that you have authorized us to provide electronically.

7. Communications in Writing. All Communications in either electronic or paper format from us to you will be considered in writing. You should print or download and save, for your records, a copy of this Disclosure and any other Communication that is important to you.

8. Federal Law. You acknowledge and agree that your consent to electronic Communications is being provided in connection with a transaction affecting interstate commerce that is subject to the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN Act) and that you and we both intend that the Act apply to the fullest extent possible to validate our ability to conduct business with you by electronic means.

9. Termination/Changes. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to discontinue the provision of your electronic Communications, or to terminate or change the terms and conditions on which we provide electronic Communications. We will provide you with notice of any such termination or change as required by law.

10. Email Address of Record for Accounts with Joint and/or Multiple Owners. You are able to provide an email address for each account owner at the time of new account set up or during maintenance on the account. Only one account owner's authorization is required to enroll in E-Statements.

For purposes of electronic notification, you will need to designate one of the existing email addresses associated with a joint or multiple owner account as the email address of record. The email address of record will be the only email address that electronic notification will be sent to when Account documents are available for viewing.

The email address of record must be the email address of an account owner who has authority to make transactions and act on behalf of the account. For example, you may not designate the email address of a minor, incompetent or deceased individual as the email address of record.

11. Interested Parties. If you have designated one or more interested parties to receive copies of your account statements or other documents, they will continue to receive copies of such documents via U.S. Mail.

12. Acceptance and Consent. By consenting to this Agreement, you agree to the following statements:

I have read, understand and agree to be bound by the Disclosure above and consent to receive electronic documents according to the process described above. I understand that I may incur costs, including but not limited to charges from my internet service provider, in accessing and/or viewing such document(s).

Limitations

You agree to the following limitations when you use Online Banking.

Information concerning your Accounts may only be obtained through a computer and modem, workstation setup, or similar devices that meet certain specifications to access the Internet.

Limits on Transfers and Transactions

Regulation D sets a transaction limit on any type of savings Accounts. During any calendar month, you may not make more than six (6) transfers from any share account, savings account, club account, or money market account to your other accounts or to a third party by means of an online transfer or other preauthorized electronic funds transfer, automatic transfer, overdraft transfer, telephone transfer, request transmitted via facsimile or transfer initiated through automated telephone response service.

When the maximum of six (6) transfers has been reached, no additional transfers will be processed and you may be charged a fee.

Limits to Available Balance

You may not exceed the Available Balance in your Account on the day that a transfer is made. Aventa reserves the right to refuse any transaction that would draw upon insufficient or unavailable funds, lower an account balance below the required amount, or otherwise require Aventa to increase its required reserve on the Account. Overdraft protection is not automatically triggered to cover insufficient funds transactions. Aventa reserves the right to limit the frequency and dollar amount of any transaction at any time for security reasons.
