A. The savings account liability and the demand deposit account liability of an association is not limited, and shall consist only of the aggregate amount of accounts of depositors and shares of members, plus earnings credited to such shares and accounts, less redemption and withdrawal payments.

B. Except as limited by the board of directors, a depositor or member may make additions to his shares or savings or demand accounts in such amounts and at such times as he may elect.

C. The depositors shall not be responsible for any losses which their savings liability and demand deposit liability shall not be sufficient to satisfy, nor shall the holders thereof be liable for any unpaid installments on their accounts.

D. Depositors' savings or demand accounts shall be non-assessable, and depositors shall stand as general creditors of the association.

E. No preference between members of mutual associations shall be created with respect to the distribution of assets upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of an association.

F. No association shall issue, sell, negotiate, or advertise for issuance or sale to depositors any type of savings or investment media or contract with respect to the savings liability in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of this Chapter.
