  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 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 personally responsible and liable for:
      1. ensuring that all Official Images created and transmitted satisfy the Eligibility Criteria,
      2. subject to Section 4.h. 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 notice to Servus of any errors, omissions, irregularities, or concerns about suspicions of fraudulent negotiable instruments or compromise of 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.
    3. 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.
    4. 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 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.
    5. 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.
    6. 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.
    7. 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.).
    8. 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.
    9. 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.f. above, and the original Negotiable Item was destroyed in accordance with Section 4.h. above or otherwise lost.
    10. You will comply with the Photo Deposit Instructions.

  11. CONFIDENTIALITY AND PRIVACY
    1. Confidential Information: Servus treats as confidential any information it receives from you in your access to or use of the Services, and we shall not disclose or use such information other than as required to provide the Services to you or to improve the Services. This provision shall not apply to information that was: (i) in Servus' prior possession; (ii) obtained from you other than in the provision of the Services; (iii) is publicly available other than pursuant to a breach of this Agreement, or (iv) is obtained from a third party not under obligations of confidentiality.

  12. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
    Servus may display certain names, words, titles, phrases, logos, icons, graphics or designs in the pages of its Website and Services, on agreements regarding certain Transactions or in advertisements regarding electronic Transactions which may constitute trade names, registered or unregistered trade-marks, words or copyrighted materials (the "Intellectual Property"). That Intellectual Property belongs to Servus, its agents or third parties. The display and use of the Intellectual Property by Servus does not imply that any license has been granted to you other than a limited license to perform Transactions contemplated in this Agreement. Copyright laws of Canada protect information contained within or used in association with the Services, the Website or any Transactions. Although you may be entitled to use information contained therein for your personal use, you may not republish or reproduce any information in any manner whatsoever, including electronic reproduction by "uploading" or "downloading" without the prior written consent of Servus.

  13. SECURE MESSAGING
    Using Secure Messaging within the Services is the recommended method for sending secure, encrypted communications to Servus. Due to the inability to securely send public Internet emails, you agree that if you choose to send Internet email messages to Servus that contain personal, business, financial or confidential information, that you do so entirely at your own risk and, if the Member chooses to send Internet email messages to Servus containing the Member's personal information, Servus may reply to that email with an unsecured email message, to which the Member consents.

    1. Termination: This Agreement may be terminated by either you or Servus upon written notification to the other. In some instances, Servus’ Third Party licensors or service providers may detect fraud regarding your use of a Service, either by you or an unauthorized third party, in which circumstance Servus may not be able to provide you with advance or contemporaneous written notification of termination. Termination of this Agreement does not release you from any obligations incurred under this Agreement prior to its termination.
    2. Survival: Sections 1, 5, 7-13, 14b. and 15 of this Agreement will survive any termination of this Agreement.
