information:
Your name and account number; A description of the error or the transfer you are unsure about, and an explanation of why you believe it is an error or why you need more information; and The dollar amount of the suspected error.
If you tell us orally [or by electronic communication], we may require that you send us your complaint or question in writing within ten (10) business days.

If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 days to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will credit your account within ten (10) business days for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have the use of the money during the time it takes us to complete our investigation. If we ask you to put your complaint or question in writing and we do not receive it within ten (10) business days, we may not credit your account. If we decide that there was not an error, we will send you a written explanation within three business days after we finish our investigation. You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation.
c. Member’s Liability for
Unauthorized Transactions.
Member’s Liability for Unauthorized Transactions. NOTE: Federal law
requires that if you believe your password has been lost or stolen,
and you tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of the
loss or theft, your maximum liability is $50 if someone used your
password without your permission. If you do NOT tell us within two
(2) business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your
password and we can prove that we could have prevented someone from
using your password without your permission, if you had told us,
your liability could increase up to $500.
Also, if your statement shows transfers that you did not make, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within 60 days after the FIRST statement (U.S. Mail or E-Statements) showing such a transfer, you may not get back any money you lost after the 60 days, if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money if you had told us in time. Your role is extremely important in the prevention of any wrongful use of your account. You must promptly examine your account statement. If you find that your records and ours disagree, you must contact the Credit Union Member Services Department by calling 440-324-3400 immediately or you can e-mail us directly at memberservices@selccu.org.

1. Our Responsibility for
Processing Transactions.
If we do not complete a transfer to or from your account or cancel a
transfer as properly requested on time or in the correct amount
according to our agreement with you, we may be liable for your
losses or damages. Our sole responsibility for an error in a
transfer will be to correct the error, but in no case will we be
liable for any indirect, special, incidental or consequential
damages. In states which do not allow the exclusion or limitation of
liability for indirect, special, incidental or consequential
damages, our liability is limited to the extent permitted by
applicable law.

Responsibility for Processing Transactions.
There are some exceptions to our liability for processing
transactions on your accounts. We will not be liable, for instance:

your account to make the transfer;
b. if the transfer would go over the credit limit on your overdraft
line;
c. if the funds in your account were attached or the transfer cannot
be made because of legal restrictions affecting your account;
d. if circumstances beyond our control such as interruption of
telephone service or telecommunication facilities, or natural
disaster (such as fire or flood) prevent the transfer, despite
reasonable precautions that we have taken;
e. for any failure to provide access or for interruptions in access
to SELCCU Online Service or E-Statements due to a system failure or
due to other unforeseen acts or circumstances;

or any computer virus or other problems related to your computer
equipment used with SELCCU Online or E-Statements;

malfunction or misapplication of any system you use, including your
browser (Netscape Navigator®, Microsoft Internet Explorer®, or
