Account Access: $ No Charge VII. TERMS, CONDITIONS, AND DISCLOSURES A. Your Liability for Unauthorized Transfers If you believe your Security Code has been lost, stolen or compromised, telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. You could lose all the money in your account (plus your maximum overdraft line-of-credit, if any). If you inform us within two business days, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your Security Code without your permission. If you do NOT inform us within two business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Security Code and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your Security Code without your permission if you had informed us, you could lose as much as $500. Also, if your statement shows transfers that you did not make, inform us immediately. If you fail to inform us within sixty (60) days after the statement was mailed to you, you may not get back any money you lost after the sixty (60) days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money if you had informed us in time. If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) kept you from informing us, we will extend the time periods. B. Our Liability Liability for failure to make transfers. If we do not complete a transfer to or from your account on time or in the correct amount according to our agreement with you, we will be liable for your losses or damages. However, there are some exceptions. We will NOT be liable, for instance:

ACCOUNT ACCESS SERVICE The Internet VIRTUAL BRANCH Home Banking Services will provide you access to your account via the Internet by entering your Member Number as the User ID and a user defined Security Code. You will be assigned, after your application has been processed, a temporary Security Code to use when you first log on to the web site. You will be prompted to change your Security Code as soon as you access your account. Your Security Code may be a minimum of four (4) and a maximum of eight (8) numeric digits. For any transfer you make, the balance in your Account, including overdraft protection if applicable, must be sufficient to cover the transfer. Account Access will enable you to:
In addition, you may make transfers from your accounts to and from other accounts - Checking, Shares, Money Market, and loans - which you are authorized to use. The account owner(s) must sign the Internet VIRTUAL BRANCH Home Banking application and expressly authorize you to access those accounts. If you or any account owner provides a Security Code to any other person, enabling that person to access accounts on the Internet VIRTUAL BRANCH Home Banking Service, all transactions made by that person using the Security Code will be considered an authorized use of the Internet VIRTUAL BRANCH Home Banking Services. If any account owner agrees to make one or more of his or her accounts available as "Additional Access Accounts" under the Internet VIRTUAL BRANCH Home Banking Service Application (or ESA), that account owner acknowledges and agrees to grant the member named in such Application, complete Internet access to all of that account owner's accounts. That account owner also agrees that the authorization will supersede any prior authorization, and will continue in effect until we receive written revocation and have a reasonable time to act upon it. In addition, you may send and receive internet e-mail to/from SCCU using VIRTUAL BRANCH. However, since the e-mails you send may not be immediately received by us, we ask that you do not take this approach if you need to communicate with us with urgency. Please contact any of our Member Service Representatives at (713) 222-1244. XIII. Limitations on Transfers From Your Money Market Account and Share Account Using the Internet VIRTUAL BRANCH Home Banking Services Government regulations restrict the number of pre-authorized and telephone transfers (including transfers by way of data transmission) from your Money Market Account or your Share Account to no more than six (6) per month. Transfers made through your Internet VIRTUAL BRANCH Home Banking Services are included when computing the permissible number of monthly transfers made. However, you are not prohibited from making transfers to make payments on your loans with us (payments on loans of your family members are counted against the transaction limitation). If you exceed the number of transfers permitted, your account may be subject to closure. Please refer to the Truth-In-Savings Disclosures in your Deposit Agreement for more information concerning transaction limitations.
