Funds Availability

The Bank will process all Eligible Items transmitted and received during the hours established by the Bank for accepting Eligible Items deposited through the Service, except when prevented from doing so due to equipment or electrical failures or any other condition beyond the reasonable control of the Bank. The Bank will credit your account when processed if received before the final deposit cutoff of each business day. Eligible Items imaged through the Service must be received and confirmed before 4:00 PM Eastern Time (3:00 PM Central Time) in order to be considered deposited same day. A business day is Monday through Friday, excluding Federal holidays and as otherwise posted in our banking centers or at middlesexbank.com. Eligible Items processed on days the Bank is closed or after the final cutoff on any business day will be credited on the next business day. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Bank has the discretion to reject any deposit for any reason.

Eligible Items are subject to verification by Middlesex Savings Bank and may be rejected for any reason. If the Eligible Item is received and confirmed by Middlesex Savings Bank, then the Eligible Item amount will be made available to you the same day in most cases, subject to the above cut off times.
In some cases, Eligible Items may be subject to delayed availability. Reasons for delayed availability include but are not limited to repeated overdrafts or a missing required endorsement. Please refer to the Funds Availability Policy contained within the Combined Disclosures provided at the time of account opening for specific information regarding delayed availability. If such delay is applied, then you will receive notice through e-mail or regular US mail with specific information about the delay.
Eligible Items may be rejected if you have exceeded your daily or monthly item or dollar limit, and you will receive notification of the rejected item through e-mail or regular US mail.
Missing or invalid Eligible Item information, improper images and missing or improper endorsement may also result in a charge back of an Eligible Item or delay in funds availability.

Item Requirements

Each imaged Eligible Item must contain the following information, including but not limited to: information about the payor and the paying bank that is preprinted; the MICR; the payor’s signature(s); the date; and the required endorsement applied to the back of the original Eligible Item.
All Eligible Items deposited through the Service into your Account must be endorsed in the first 1.5 inches of the trailing edge of the back of the Eligible Item. You may identify the "trailing edge" of an item by viewing the Eligible Item from the front. The trailing edge is the left edge of the Eligible Item.
Your endorsement must include your signature, the last four digits of your account number and the words "For MSB eDeposit Only". Any loss we incur from a delay or processing error resulting from an irregular endorsement or other markings by you will be your responsibility.
Each imaged Eligible Item must also meet all standards for image quality by the American National Standards Institute, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve or any other regulatory agency, clearing house or association.

Deposit Limits

We may establish limits on the dollar amount and/or number of Eligible Items deposited from time to time. If you attempt to initiate a deposit of an Eligible Item in excess of those limits, we may reject your Eligible Item. If we permit you to make a deposit of an Eligible Item in excess of those limits, such deposit will still be subject to the terms of this Agreement, and we will not be obligated to allow such a deposit at other times.

Your Duties and Obligations

As you image Eligible Items into electronic files for transmission and deposit into your Account, you warrant and represent with respect to each imaged Eligible Item that:

The image accurately represents all of the information on the front and back of the Eligible Item and that all such information is legible, genuine, accurate and without any alteration of the image;
You will not cause the payor to receive a debit, presentment, return of, or otherwise be charged for, the Eligible Item or a paper or electronic representation of the Eligible Item, such that the payor will be asked to make a payment based on the Eligible Item that has already been paid (You will be liable for Eligible Items that are presented more than once.);
The image represents an Eligible Item properly payable to you, with the necessary endorsement for deposit into your Account with the Bank;
You will maintain physical security of the Eligible Items that you have deposited using the Service for a period of at least 60 days after deposit. You will immediately notify the Bank in the event of any unauthorized access to such Eligible Items and you will destroy all Eligible Items in a safe and reasonable manner in accordance with the time frame set forth above in this paragraph;
You will provide the Eligible Items to us, at our request, as we reserve the right to view the Eligible Items for any reason. (If we request to view an Eligible Item, then you must provide the Eligible Item to us within five (5) business days, at your expense. If you do not provide the Eligible Item, then the deposit of the Eligible Item will be reversed from your Account.) Use of the Service does not relieve you of your duty to maintain records, review statements, verify transactions, and, if necessary, to notify the Bank of any issues arising from your use of the Service or otherwise.

Receipt of Deposit

We reserve the right to reject any Eligible Item transmitted through the Service, at our discretion. We are not responsible for Eligible Items we do not receive or for images that are dropped during transmission. An image of the Eligible Item shall be deemed received when you receive an electronic confirmation from us that we have received the image. Confirmation does not mean that the image contains no errors or will be accepted for deposit. In accepting Eligible Items for deposit or collection, the Bank makes no warranty as to the collectability of the Eligible Items. We further reserve the right to charge back to your Account at any time any Eligible Item that we subsequently determine was an Ineligible Item. You agree that the Bank is not liable for any loss, costs, or fees you may incur as a result of our chargeback of an Ineligible Item.

Returned Deposits

If an Eligible Item deposited through the Service is dishonored, rejected or otherwise returned unpaid for any reason including insufficient funds, then you will receive an image, reproduction or substitute of the Eligible Item and we may set off the amount of the returned Eligible Item by debiting the Account into which you deposited the returned Eligible Item or by transferring funds from another Middlesex Savings Bank account held by you. Notifications of delayed availability or return of the deposit may not be available to you through the Service or the Application, and may be mailed or sent through other means deemed acceptable by us. You will be responsible for reimbursing us for all loss, cost, damage or expense related to the processing of the returned Eligible Item. You are prohibited from attempting to deposit or otherwise negotiate an Eligible Item through the Service if it has been charged back to you.

You are solely responsible for verifying the validity of an item returned as forged or counterfeit, and if you suspect that an item is forged or counterfeit then you must not deposit that item using the Service. We are not responsible for detecting forged or counterfeit items that you deposit.

Errors

You must notify us of any errors (or suspected errors) related to the Eligible Items deposited through the Service as soon as possible after the occurrence, and in no event, no later than 30 days after the related Middlesex Savings Bank account statement is sent. Unless you notify us within 30 days of the date that the Middlesex Savings Bank account statement is sent, then the account statement containing the deposits made through the Service is deemed correct and you cannot bring a claim against us for any alleged errors.

Relationship to Other Agreements and Fees

You agree that you remain subject to the terms and conditions of your existing agreements with us and with any unaffiliated service providers, including, but not limited to, your mobile service provider, and that this Agreement does not amend or supersede any of those agreements. You understand that those agreements may provide for fees, limitations and restrictions which might impact your use of the Service (such as data usage or text messaging charges imposed on you by your mobile service provider for uses of or interaction with the Service), and you agree to be solely responsible for all such fees, limitations, and restrictions.
