You must be an owner either individually or jointly and, in some cases, an authorized signer on the Account that is eligible for this service. Accounts (and deposits) will be governed by the applicable Personal Deposit Account Terms and Conditions document.

Requirements
Check Images
All check images shall be legible and accurately depict legal and courtesy amount field, payee, date, check number, drawee information, and memo line designation. In addition, you must verify that the Magnetic Ink Character Recognition ("MICR") line is true and accurate in its reproduction on the check image.
Guidelines for taking pictures for Mobile Deposit include the following:
- Place your check on a flat surface against a darker background color.
- Only have the check in the frame of the camera.
- Take pictures in a well-lit area.
- Make sure all four corners of the check are visible and not cut off by the edge of the view window, a deep shadow, or other objects.
- Make sure the image is sharp and focused. For some devices this means pulling back from the check, so the image does not blur.
- Take a picture of the front and back of the check.
We have the right to adjust the amount of any deposit based on our review of the image. We shall not be liable for any damage resulting from a check or item’s poor image quality, including those related to delayed or improper crediting or rejection of such a check or item or from any inaccurate information you supply regarding the check or item.
Restrictive Indorsement
You must endorse/stamp each check before transmission with your signature(s) or company name and the following language: "For mobile deposit at Beacon Bank only, acct XXXXXXXXX". Beacon Bank reserves the right to reject all items that are not endorsed as specified.
Destruction of Checks
You shall retain all paper checks in a secure fashion after you have initiated a mobile check deposit of the item. We require the check be retained for at least fourteen (14) calendar days after funds are available to you in the Account. After such period expires, you agree to destroy the original check. You understand and agree that you are responsible for any loss caused by your failure to secure an original check.
Marking
After you deposit a check using Beacon Mobile Deposit, it is recommended that you mark the front of the check in the memo line with the date of deposit and a notation such as "e-deposited".
Safeguarding of Checks
You shall safeguard all checks prior to their destruction from unauthorized access and use, including without limitation, theft, alteration, access, re-imaging, and re-presentment.
No Further Use of Check
You will not permit the check to be presented, returned or otherwise used to obtain a payment that would duplicate the payment sought by the deposit made via the Beacon Mobile Deposit service.
Internet Connectivity
You are responsible for your own hardware and software including the equipment used to provide connectivity to the internet. You are responsible for troubleshooting internet connectivity issues with your Internet Service Provider ("ISP") or Mobile Service Provider and all connectivity and data charges, fees, problems, interruptions, and related issues shall be your responsibility. It is your sole responsibility to verify that items deposited using the Beacon Mobile Deposit service have been received and accepted for deposit by us. You are solely responsible for the security of your internet and cellular data connection and transmission. In the event that the Services are interrupted or are otherwise unavailable, you acknowledge that you can deposit original checks in person at a Bank branch or at an ATM.
Controls
You agree to have controls in place to ensure your compliance with your obligations to us as set forth in these terms and conditions, the Agreement and elsewhere.
