Common use of Stop Payments on Checks Clause in Contracts

Stop Payments on Checks. The Online Service's ability to process a stop payment request will depend on the payment method and whether or not a check has cleared. The Online Service may also not have a reasonable opportunity to act on any stop payment request after a payment has been processed. If you desire to stop any payment that has already been processed, you must contact Member Services. Although we will make every effort to accommodate your request, we will have no liability for failing to do so. The Service may also require you to present your request in writing. The charge for each stop payment request will be the current charge for such service as set out in the applicable fee schedule. You agree to indemnify us for all damages and costs in which we may be subjected by reason of our refusal to honor the check. Avadian shall use every reasonable effort to stop payment. However, if the check is paid after due diligence on the part of Avadian, the credit union shall not be liable in any way and the check shall be charged to your Account. Further, Avadian shall not be liable if, by reason of failure of the credit union to stop payment, other checks drawn on your Account are returned due to insufficient funds for payment.
