Whenever any Authorized User leaves your employ or you otherwise revoke the authority of any Authorized User to access or use any of the Services, you must notify an Administrator immediately and such Administrator is solely responsible for deactivating such Authorized User’s User ID and any Authentication Device. You remain fully responsible for all use of any former Authorized User’s User ID and Authentication Device, and any Services utilized by any such former Authorized User.
YOU MAY DESIGNATE OTHER ACCOUNTS AS AN ONLINE ACCOUNT FOR USE WITH THE SERVICES.
You may designate any authorized Account as an Online Account for use with the Services.

You further agree that we will not be responsible or liable to you in any way if information is intercepted by an unauthorized person, either in transit or at your place of business. You also agree that we may respond to any communication you send to us with an electronic communication, regardless of whether your original communication to us was an electronic communication.
If you use our Alerts feature, we may send account information to the Email address(es) you or any Authorized User may designate. If you use our Alerts feature by designating a telephone number, we may send Account information to that device. Sensitive information such as account numbers will be only partially shown or masked.

Bank may, but shall not be obligated to, complete any transaction in connection with providing the Services if there are insufficient available funds in Customer’s Account(s) to complete the transaction. In the event any actions by Customer result in an overdraft in any of Customer’s Accounts, including but not limited to Customer’s failure to maintain sufficient balances in any of Customer’s Accounts, Customer shall be responsible for repaying the overdraft immediately and without notice or demand. Bank has the right, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to it, to set-off the unpaid balance of any amount owed it in connection with the Services against any debt owing to Customer by Bank, including, without limitation, any obligation under a repurchase agreement or any funds held at any time by Bank, whether collected or in the process of collection, or in any other Account maintained by Customer at or evidenced by any certificate of deposit issued by Bank. If any of Customer’s Accounts become overdrawn, under-funded or for any reason contain a negative balance, then Bank shall have the right of set-off against all of Customer’s Accounts and other property or deposit Accounts maintained at Bank, and Bank shall have the right to enforce its interests in collateral held by it to secure debts of Customer to Bank arising from notes or other indebtedness now or hereafter owing or existing under this Agreement, whether or not matured or liquidated.
BUSINESS ONLINE BANKING SERVICES
By accessing the Services, you can perform any or all of the Services described below for which you have registered, and we have approved, subject to the limitations set forth in or otherwise incorporated into this Agreement and any applicable Account Agreement.
- Online Account Access. You may obtain information, such as balance and summary information, available funds information and information about prior business day cleared transactions and Automated Teller Machine (“ATM”) and Point of Sale (“POS”) transactions. Upon your request, we may allow access to a Credit Account for viewing account information.
- Transfer of Funds. You may transfer funds from your Deposit Accounts, including to make one-time transfers or to schedule future or recurring transfers between your Deposit Accounts or from your Deposit Account to eligible Credit Account, except if your Online Account is a passbook savings or certificate of deposit account. Although you receive immediate provisional credit upon completion of an Online Banking Service session for one-time transfers between your eligible Online Accounts made during that session, you must make such transfers before 9:00 p.m. ET on a Business Day for those funds to be posted on an Account on the same Business Day and available for non-Online Banking Service transactions. Such one-time transfers between your Accounts and made after 9:00 p.m. ET on a Business Day or on a non-Business Day will be available for the payment of non-Online Banking Service transactions on the next Business Day. Funds will be made available to you in accordance with our Funds Availability policy, a copy of which is included in the Understanding Your Deposit Account for Business Accounts booklet, which you received when you opened your Account(s). The maximum amount you can transfer using this Service is equal to the available balance in your Online Account. We may from time to time and in our sole discretion refuse to allow, or limit the number or amount of, funds transfers you may request using this Service.
- Wire Transfers. You can use this Service to instruct us to wire transfer funds in a specified amount, from an eligible Online Account to a specified third party on your behalf at another financial institution. Prior to using this Service, you must enter into a separate Payment Order Agreement with us. You acknowledge and agree that this Service is also governed by our Payment Order Agreement and that if any provision of the Payment Order Agreement is inconsistent or otherwise conflicts with this Agreement, the provisions of the Payment Order Agreement will control with respect to this Service. If your Payment Order Agreement is terminated for any reason, we may, in our sole discretion and without notice to you, terminate your use of this Service. When sending a wire transfer in foreign currency you may see an exchange rate displayed within the Business Online Banking Service. You acknowledge and agree that the exchange rate and debit amount displayed within Business Online Banking are estimates only and the final exchange rate applied to your transaction may be less favorable and does not include any fees that we may charge. The exchange rate used when we convert one currency to another is set at our sole discretion, and it includes a markup. The markup is designed to compensate us for several considerations including, without limitation, rates set by our service providers, costs incurred, market risks, and our desired return. The exchange rate we provide to you may be different from exchange rates you see elsewhere. Different customers may receive different rates for transactions that are the same or similar, and the applicable exchange rate may be different for foreign currency cash, drafts, checks, or wire transfers. Foreign exchange markets are dynamic and rates fluctuate frequently. You assume all risk relating to or arising from fluctuations in the exchange rates between currencies and you agree to be bound by the exchange rate applied to your transaction even if it is different than the exchange rate that appears within the Business Online Banking Service.
- ACH Entries. Subject to application and approval by the Bank, you can use this Service to authorize us to process, transmit, receive and settle Entries through ACH networks we use from time to time and to credit or debit Entries to an eligible Online Account. Prior to using this Service, you must enter into a separate Payment Order Agreement with us. You acknowledge and agree that this Service is also governed by our Payment Order Agreement and that if any provision of the Payment Order Agreement is inconsistent with or otherwise conflicts with this Agreement, the provisions of the Payment Order Agreement will control with respect to this Service. If your Payment Order Agreement is terminated for any reason, we may, in our sole discretion and without notice to you, terminate your use of this Service.
- EFTPS using ACH. You can use this Service to make Federal tax payments due to any Federal governmental authority, including the Internal Revenue Service, from any Online Account. You agree to comply with any set-up or other procedures required by the recipient of a transfer (such as the prearrangement required by the Internal Revenue Service for electronic tax payments). If you fail to comply with these procedures, we may, in our sole discretion and without notice to you, terminate your use of this Service. You must enroll for this Service with the Internal Revenue Service and you must provide us with a copy of your enrollment documents and any other information we require and we must have approved your use of this Service in advance.
- Stop Payments. You can use this Service to initiate a stop payment request online for any check or other item drawn against any of your Online Accounts, providing that the check or other item has not been paid or is in process of being paid. You warrant that the information describing the check or other item, including the date, the exact amount, the check number, and Payee are correct. You agree that we will not be responsible for stopping payment unless all of the information you provide is accurate and we receive your stop payment request within a reasonable period of time for us to act on it. In addition, you may not request a stop payment online for any treasurer’s check, cashier’s check, certified check or other official institution check you have purchased from us or any check or other item that we have guaranteed or otherwise accepted. You understand that your stop payment request is conditional and subject to verification by us that the check or other item has not already been paid or that some other action to pay the check has not been taken by you. A stop payment request against a check or other item is effective only against the check or other item that is identified as described above. A written request to stop payment on a check will be valid for 6 months, unless you renew your request in writing before the expiration of this time period. Otherwise, if you do not timely renew your request in writing and the check is presented to us for payment following the expiration of this time period, we may pay the check. We will charge you a separate fee for each stop payment request you make using this Service, as set forth in the fee schedule governing your Account. If you make a stop payment request using this Service after 3:00 p.m. ET on any Business Day or at any time on a non-Business Day, we may consider your request to be received by us on the next Business Day we are open. See also paragraph 11 under the heading Schedule of Bill Payment Service below for additional details regarding cancellation of payments using the Bill Payment Service.
- Financial Management Software. The Financial Management Software feature of the Online Banking Service (“FMS Service”) allows you to use financial management software (“FMS Software”) (e.g., Quicken®, or QuickBooks®) to access the Services and download Account information such as balance and transaction history. This section sets forth additional terms and conditions that apply whenever Customer uses or permits any other person(s) or entity to use the FMS Service. The terms and conditions contained in this section are limited to use of the FMS Service, and do not include use of products and services directly accessible through the Online Banking Service without the use of FMS Software. The Online Banking Service utilizes current releases of Quicken® and QuickBooks®, as may be made available from time to time from the respective software manufacturer. Customer is responsible for obtaining and maintaining any software that is required for operation of the FMS Service. Customer’s use of the FMS Software is governed by the software license agreement(s) included with each software application. Customer must agree to the terms and conditions of the software license agreement(s) during the installation of the FMS Software on Customer’s Computer. Customer is responsible for the correct set-up and installation of the FMS Software, as well as maintenance, updates and upgrades to the FMS Software and/or Customer’s Computer. Bank makes no warranties nor accepts any liability for such software. Bank is not responsible for any problems related to the FMS Software itself, Customer’s Computer or Customer’s ability to connect using the FMS Software as described in this Agreement. Information about Account activity is synchronized between Customer’s FMS Software and the Online Banking Service website. Customer may access such information directly through the Online Banking Service. Information via Customer’s FMS Software may differ from the information that is available directly through the Online Banking Service. Information available directly through the Online Banking Service may not be available via Customer’s FMS Software, may be described using different terminology, or may be more current than the information available via Customer’s FMS Software. The method of entering instructions via Customer’s FMS Software may also differ from the method of entering instructions directly through the Online Banking Service. Bank is not responsible for such differences, whether or not attributable to Customer’s use of FMS Software. Customer is responsible for all transfers and payments that Customer authorizes using FMS Software. If Customer permits other persons to access the Online Banking Service using FMS Software, Customer is responsible for all transactions it authorizes from Account(s) accessed via FMS Software. Customer must establish its own internal security procedures for employees that Customer authorizes to use the Online Banking Service via FMS Software and to prevent unauthorized use by other employees or persons. This Agreement describes Bank’s responsibility for completing transfers and payments, and any exceptions from liability for its failure to do so. These rules apply to Customer’s transactions using FMS Software. Bank is not responsible for any problems that Customer may have utilizing FMS Software to connect to the Online Banking Service if no known problem exists with Bank’s systems that might impede such connectivity, or if the problem is due to Customer’s software, Computer or Internet service. Customer should verify all Account data obtained and transactions executed on Customer’s Accounts using FMS Software. Bank’s records of transactions, instructions and communications regarding Customer’s Accounts and use of the Online Banking Service supersede any records stored or created on Customer’s Computer through the use of FMS Software. Customer is responsible for any and all obligations to any software vendor arising from Customer’s use of that vendor’s FMS Software.
- PFM. You may also download your account information directly into your Personal Financial Management (PFM) service. You are responsible for separately purchasing such software and the Bank makes no warranties nor accepts any liability for such software. The Service supports WebConnect functionality for current and prior two versions of Intuit Quickbooks®, or Intuit Quicken®. The Service also supports the ability to create and import file types that may be supported by other software solutions.

By using a new Service when it becomes available, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions that apply to such Service. The description of any new Service and any additional terms and conditions that may apply to your use of such Service may be included in an additional schedule to this Agreement or in an additional appendix to an existing schedule, all of which are hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement as of the initial date on which you use such Service.
ELECTRONIC MAIL (email)
- To the extent permitted by applicable law, any Email you send us will not be effective until we receive it and have had a reasonable opportunity to act on it. We therefore strongly suggest that you report all matters requiring immediate attention (for example, reports of alleged unauthorized payments or errors or requests for stop payments) to us via phone or in paper form. We may, however, require you to provide us with confirmation of any oral or electronic stop payment request or notice of alleged error. You also agree that we may send you an electronic notice in response to any communication you send to us, regardless of whether your original communication to us was an Email.
- Email transactions may not be secure. Thus, we request that you do not send us or ask for sensitive information such as account numbers, IDs, Passwords, social security numbers, account information, etc. via Email unless you are responding to us in response to a request through our secure email platform.
- If we send you a notice via Email, you will be deemed to have received it upon the date of delivery, even if you do not access your Email after the time of delivery.
ELECTRONIC ALERTS
WE PROVIDE AUTOMATIC AND VOLUNTARY ELECTRONIC ALERTS. WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT SUPPRESS THESE ALERTS AS SOME ARE INTENDED TO PROVIDE ADDED SECURITY TO YOUR SERVICE.
- Automatic Alerts are sent to you following certain changes made online to your Services, such as a change in your Email address or telephone number. You do not need to activate these alerts.
- Voluntary Alerts must be activated by you. These alerts allow you to customize account or bill- specific notifications. Because alerts are not encrypted, we will never include your identifying information such as any ID or account number. However, alerts may include your name and some information about your accounts. Depending on which alerts are sent, information such as your account balance or the due date for a payment may be included. Anyone with access to your Email may be able to view the contents of these alerts.
- Electronic alerts will be sent to the Email address you have provided as your primary Email address. Alternatively, you may choose to receive alerts by designating a telephone number for receipt of a text message. If your Email address or telephone number changes, you are solely responsible for immediately notifying us of that change. We are not responsible for an alert not being delivered if you have not notified us of an Email or telephone number change or given us a reasonable amount of time to respond to such a request. You understand and agree that your alerts may be delayed or prevented by a variety of factors. We do the best to provide alerts in a timely manner with accurate information. We neither guarantee the delivery nor the accuracy of the contents of any alert. You also agree that we shall not be liable for any delays, failure to deliver, or misdirected delivery of any alert or for any errors in the content of an alert or for any actions taken or caused to be taken by you or any third party in reliance on an alert.
COMPLIANCE
Customer and Bank shall comply with (i) the Account Agreements, and (ii) all applicable laws, regulations, rules and orders, including without limitation all applicable National Automated Clearing House Association (“NACHA”) operating rules and guidelines, the Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”), the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Asset Control (“OFAC”) requirements, and all applicable laws, regulations and orders administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”) (collectively the “Compliance Laws”).You understand that information regarding OFAC requirements can be obtained by calling the OFAC Compliance Hotline, toll free, at 1-800-540-OFAC. You also understand that failure to comply with the Compliance Laws could result in liability for fines and other penalties assessed against us pursuant to those Compliance Laws, which you agree to pay directly or to reimburse us.
OFAC is a division of the United States Department of the Treasury and is mandated to implement and enforce economic sanctions imposed by the U.S. Government against hostile foreign countries, their nationals, or other “specially designated” individuals or entities. These sanctions restrict banks and other businesses from doing business with those designated countries, individuals and/or entities.
SERVICES LIMITATIONS
By regulation, certain restrictions apply to the number of internet transfers from savings Deposit Accounts (including money market Deposit Accounts) processed in a statement cycle. Transfers from savings Deposit Accounts to another Account or to third parties by preauthorized, automatic, telephone or Computer transfer or by check, draft, debit card, or similar order to third parties are limited to six (6) per monthly statement cycle. There are no limits on withdrawals or transfers that Customer makes in person at any of Bank’s branches or at an automated teller machine (ATM). If Customer exceeds these limits more than occasionally, Bank may convert Customer’s savings Deposit Account to a transaction Deposit Account. If Bank converts Customer’s Deposit Account, Bank will tell Customer and will tell Customer what kind of Deposit Account was used. A fee in the amount set forth in the Fee Schedule will be charged for each debit transaction from a savings Deposit Account in excess of the above limitations. (For a more detailed description of the limits on such transactions, please refer to the Deposit Account Agreement for business and non-consumer Accounts.) The activities you can perform with the Services may be further limited by, and are subject to, the terms disclosed in this Agreement and all applicable Account Agreements. You should refer to these agreements for applicable limitations.
OUR LIABILITY
Unless expressly prohibited or otherwise restricted by applicable law or this Agreement, our liability is limited as follows: We shall not be liable to you or to any third party for performing or failing to perform any of the Services, except in the event of our gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with the performance of (or failure to perform) any of the Services.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we shall not be liable for delays that happen because of reasons beyond our reasonable control, including without limitation, acts of civil, military or banking authorities, national emergencies, war, riots, unavoidable difficulties with our equipment, the unavailability of the Services, any errors in information provided through the Services, any difficulties caused by any Internet or other service provider or browser software or any Computer failure, whether caused by a virus or otherwise. If, for any reason, we are adjudged liable to you, your recovery will be limited to your actual damages, in an amount not to exceed six times the total fees and charges paid by you to us for the Services during the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which the event giving rise to our liability occurred. You agree that the dollar limitation described in this paragraph is reasonable, even if your actual damages exceed this limitation.
IN NO EVENT WILL YOU BE ABLE TO RECOVER FROM US ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OR LOST PROFITS, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU ADVISED US OR WE OTHERWISE KNEW OF THE LIKELIHOOD OF SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES.
YOUR LIABILITY
You are solely responsible for the amount of each bill payment, funds transfer or other Service made using Business Online Banking and all fees or other amounts incurred in connection with any such Services, even if you did not authorize the bill payment, funds transfer or other Service. You agree to indemnify us and hold us harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs and expenses) arising from or related to your access or use of the Services.

The Customer ID and the User IDs identify and authenticate you and your Authorized Users to us when you access or use any of the Services. You authorize us to rely on the Customer ID and all User IDs to identify you and your Authorized Users when you access or use any of the Services and as signature authorization for any bill payment, funds transfer or other Service. You acknowledge and agree that we are authorized to act on any and all communications or instructions we receive using the IDs and that we may attribute to you any and all transactions initiated using the Customer ID and any User ID, regardless of whether the communications, instructions or transactions are authorized.
All transactions initiated with the Customer ID and a User ID and approved using Security Tokens or One Time Passcodes (where applicable) will be attributed to you.
You accept as your sole responsibility the selection, use, protection and maintenance of confidentiality of, and access to, all IDs and Security Tokens.
You agree to use your commercially reasonable best efforts to safeguard all IDs and Security Tokens and keep them confidential.
You agree not to reveal any ID to any unauthorized person, nor allow any unauthorized person access to a Security Token.
You further agree to notify us immediately if you believe that the confidentiality of any ID or authorized use of any Security Token has been compromised in any manner.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE WILL NEVER ASK YOU FOR YOUR PASSWORD, AND THAT OUR EMPLOYEES DO NOT NEED YOUR OR ANY OF YOUR EMPLOYEES’ PASSWORD FOR ANY REASON.
In order to protect yourself against fraud, you agree that you and each of your Authorized Users will adhere to the following:
- You shall maintain adequate internal security controls to prevent any unauthorized access to Business Online Banking or unauthorized use of any of the Services. Such security controls shall include maintaining up-to-date and industry-standard antivirus and anti-malware detection and eradication programs, maintaining properly configured firewalls, maintaining a process that ensures systems remain current with all software patches and updates and using commercially reasonable best efforts to safeguard access to all IDs, including without limitation all Passwords, used in connection with initiating and/or approving access to and use of any of the Services and usage of all Security Tokens issued by the Bank for use by Authorized Users in approving any ACH or wire transfer transactions.

The telephone number, mailing address and Email address of our Customer Contact Center is listed in the Contact Us section of this Agreement. You should also immediately change all IDs and replace all Security Tokens or other Authentication Devices. The occurrence of any unauthorized access to Business Online Banking or unauthorized bill payment, funds transfer or other Service will not affect your responsibility to cover the full cost and expense of any such unauthorized access, payment, transfer or other Service when the Bank has acted in good faith prior to our receiving any notification of unauthorized access or use from you and prior to our having a reasonable period of time after our receipt of such notice to take such steps as are necessary to prevent such unauthorized bill payment, funds transfer or other Service.
In addition to the requirements contained in the immediately preceding paragraph, if you have reason to believe that any Authorized User’s User ID, Password or other Authentication Device has been lost, stolen or otherwise compromised (or may be compromised) or that a bill payment, funds transfer or other Service has been or may be made with any Authorized User’s User ID, Password or other Authentication Device without your permission, you must contact an Administrator, who must in turn deactivate, and has the sole responsibility for deactivating, any such User ID and retrieving any such Authentication Device. In no event will we be liable for any unauthorized transaction that occurs with any Authorized User’s User ID, Password or other Authentication Device.

If we do this, we may notify you in a manner provided for in this Agreement; however, we are not under any obligation to do so. If your access to and use of the Services is suspended, transactions which were previously scheduled may be canceled; however, we will not be liable to you whether we cancel such transaction or if we allow a transaction to be completed.

SCHEDULE OF BILL PAYMENT SERVICE
Reference is made to that certain Business Online Banking Agreement between Cambridge Savings Bank and the Customer that is a party thereto, as the same may be amended, revised or restated at any time and from time to time (the “Agreement”), to which this Schedule of Bill Payment Service (this “Bill Pay Service Schedule”) is incorporated into and made a part thereof.
All capitalized terms used in this Bill Pay Service Schedule that are not defined herein are used with the meanings given to them in the Agreement.
You acknowledge and agree that your access to and utilization of the Bill Payment Service is governed not only by the terms of this Bill Pay Service Schedule, but also by the terms of the Agreement, and such terms shall be and hereby are incorporated into this Bill Pay Service Schedule as if set forth herein in their entirety. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Agreement and the terms of this Bill Pay Service Schedule as applied in each case to your access to and utilization of the Bill Payment Service, the terms contained in this Bill Pay Service Schedule shall control.
- After we approve your request, the Bill Payment Service will permit you to direct payments from your Bill Payment Account(s) to third parties you wish to pay. Through the Bill Payment Service, you can pay bills from your Bill Payment Account(s) to businesses or individuals. In addition, you may use the e-Bills feature to receive bills from participating Payees, view Payee bill summaries and bill detail information. The Bill Payment Service will remain available for use until it is terminated, either by you or the Bank.
- All payments you make will be deducted from your selected Bill Payment Account(s), and you agree that we may debit your selected Bill Payment Account(s) for such payments without requiring your signature on the item and without prior notice by you. The Bill Payment Service will draft your Bill Payment Account(s) to make payments for bills you have authorized. These drafts will be posted to your selected Bill Payment Account in the same way as a check. All bill payments must be payable in U.S. dollars to a Payee located in the United States. We reserve the right to restrict types of Payees to whom payments may be made using this Service at any time and from time to time.
- You should not use the Bill Payment Service to make payments to unlawful internet gambling sites or to settle securities purchases, tax payments, insurance payments, payments for government fees, court ordered payments, or payments to foreign vendors or persons. Payments for these Payees will be your sole responsibility if delayed or improperly processed or credited.
- Funds must be available in your selected Bill Payment Account on the Scheduled Payment Date. If the date you schedule a payment to be initiated falls on a non-Business Day, funds must be available in your selected Bill Payment Account the following Business Day. If a payment has been made to one of your designated Payees for which funds are not available in your selected Bill Payment Account, and we are unable to recover the amount of the payment by debit to the Payee or by charging your Bill Payment Account, you agree to repay the funds owed immediately upon demand.
- Bill payments can be made for any amount up to $9,999.99 per item and in total up to $19,999.99 in total per day, which is subject to change in our sole discretion at any time and from time to time. You may choose to schedule payments to recur in the same amount at regular intervals (e.g., weekly, monthly, bi-monthly). You must schedule a payment to a new Payee at least five Business Days before any payment due date, to allow us time to set up the Payee and verify information about your selected Bill Payment Account with the Payee.
- You authorize us and any third party acting on our behalf to choose the most effective method to process your payment, including without limitation, electronic, paper or some other means. Checks may be drafted against your selected Bill Payment Account. If the payment is an electronic payment, you must schedule it to be made at least three Business Days prior to the payment due date (which is the due date shown on your invoice or provided in your agreement with the Payee, not taking into account any applicable grace period). However, if the Payee cannot accept an electronic payment, and a paper check payment is to be made, you must schedule that payment to be made at least five Business Days prior to the payment due date described above. You may schedule payments during the “grace period”, but any late charges associated with payments so scheduled will be your responsibility regardless of the cause of the late payment. If you do not follow these time frames, we shall not be liable for any failure to make payment. You will bear full responsibility for all penalties, late fees, finance charges, damages or other actions taken by the Payee caused by or otherwise resulting from your scheduling.
- Expedited payments may be available for an additional fee, which will be charged to your selected Bill Payment Account at the time of your request. Expedited payments are available for a limited number of Payees based on biller capabilities, time of day, payment delivery mechanisms and other factors. Expedited overnight checks will be unavailable for delivery to any post office box address, any location in Alaska or Hawaii or any location in any foreign or U.S. territory outside of the contiguous United States and District of Columbia. You are responsible for the proper entry of the Payment Instructions and address. Due to the need to expedite the payment, Payment Instructions will be completed immediately upon submission, and you will not have the ability to edit or cancel the payment instruction after completion of the request.
- The Bank is only responsible for exercising ordinary care in processing and sending payments upon your authorization in accordance with this Agreement. Even if we fail to exercise ordinary care, the Bank will not be liable in any way for damages incurred by you if you do not have sufficient funds in the Bill Payment Account to make the payment on the processing date, for delays in mail delivery, for changes to the Payee’s address or account number (unless you have advised the Bank of the change sufficiently in advance), for failure of any Payee to correctly account for or credit the payment in a timely manner, or for any other circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the Bank.
- If the session during which you schedule a payment ends by 6 p.m. ET, the Bank will be considered to have received it on that day if it is a Business Day. Otherwise, it will be considered received on the following Business Day. For all entries made using Online Banking or Bill Payment Service, the time recorded by the Online Banking or Bill Payment Service will be considered the official time of the transaction.
- If you have instructed us to make a payment for which there are insufficient available funds in your selected Bill Payment Account on the date the payment is debited thereto, the payment will not be made and the Bill Payment Service will be blocked, automatically canceling future recurring and scheduled payments. Under such circumstances, it is your responsibility to contact us to resolve the matter. Your Bill Payment Service will not be unblocked until you contact us; simply making a deposit into a Bill Payment Account will not reactivate the Bill Payment Service. If the matter is resolved to our satisfaction, we will unblock the Bill Payment Service to reactivate it for your subsequent use. Once the Bill Pay Service is reactivated, recurring payments will resume from the date on which the Bill Payment Service has been reinstated. However, scheduled payments will have to be rescheduled, and any payments that should have occurred during the period that the Bill Payment Service was blocked will not be paid in arrears, and you will have to reschedule those payments.
- If you choose to cancel a payment you made using the Bill Payment Service, you may cancel or change the payment prior to 6 p.m. ET on the Business Day before the transaction is scheduled to be initiated, noted in the Bill Payment Service as a pending payment. You may also contact the Bank to place a stop payment on a payment scheduled using the Bill Payment Service. Such request must be made prior to 3:00 p.m. ET on the Business Day before the transaction is scheduled to be initiated to be effective dated for that date. You may cancel a check payment at any time either in the Bill Payment Service or by contacting us, providing that the check has not been negotiated or in route to the Bank when your stop payment request was initiated. In either case, we may not have a reasonable opportunity to act on any stop payment. Although we will make a reasonable effort to accommodate your request, we will have no liability for failing to do so if we do not receive your request in a timely manner. See also paragraph 6 under the heading Business Online Banking Services above for additional details regarding stop payment requests using Business Online Banking.
- e-Bill is a feature of the Bill Payment Service that enables you to receive bills electronically from participating Payees. Participating Payees establish their own criteria for reviewing requests to receive e-Bills and have sole discretion to accept or decline your request. We do not participate in this decision. Participating Payees generally take up to five Business Days to approve an e-Bill set-up request. In some cases, we obtain the e-Bill from the web site of the Payee. To do so, we may ask you for information needed for this purpose, such as any required password to access the Payee’s billing site. When you provide this information, you authorize us to access the third-party web site to retrieve the account information on your behalf, and you appoint us your agent for this limited purpose. We take no responsibility if a Payee does not provide the necessary data to forward an e-Bill in a timely manner. If you do not receive a bill, it is your responsibility to contact the Payee directly. We are not responsible for any late charges or other adverse consequences. Any questions regarding your bill details should be directed to your Payee. All parties have the right to cancel this Service at any time. We will notify you if the Bank discontinues e-Bills. If you request that an e-Bill be discontinued, we require seven Business Days for the Payee to receive and process the request. When you establish e-Bill with a participating Payee you will provide certain information that will be provided to the Payee to complete your enrollment. We are not liable for the security of any such information provided to a Payee. If you have concerns about the future use of any such information you should contact the Payee directly.

In the event of any conflict between the Agreement Terms or the Service Schedule Terms or the Mobile App T&C and the terms contained in this Appendix as applied in each case to your access to and utilization of the Mobile Deposit Service, the terms contained in this Appendix shall govern.
- As used in this Appendix, the term “Bank” includes any third-part processor that performs services on behalf of the Bank in connection with the Mobile Deposit Service, including but not limited to the receipt and processing of images and check data and any notices related thereto.
- You may deposit certain checks using the Mobile App to any Online Account from your office or other remote location using a mobile device capable of capturing electronic images of the front and back of certain eligible checks and transmitting to the Bank via the Internet the images and other deposit information, including but not limited to the magnetic ink character recognition (“MICR”) line, in accordance with the procedures outlined in this Appendix. Any such deposit is referred to in this Appendix as a “Mobile Deposit”.
- You acknowledge and agree that a Mobile Deposit is not an “electronic fund transfer” as such term is defined in Regulation E of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve Board”) at 12 C.F.R. § 205.3 and referred to in the Bank’s business deposit account handbook (“Understanding Your Deposit Account”).
- Subject to your compliance with the terms and conditions contained in this Appendix, the Bank will process any Mobile Deposit according to our funds availability policy and enter the images of the check into the collection process, in accordance with the terms of the applicable Account Agreement pertaining to the Online Account into which the Mobile Deposit is to be made and this Appendix.
- You agree to scan and deposit only checks as that term is defined in the Federal Reserve Board’s Regulation CC (“Reg CC”). You agree that the image of the check transmitted to us shall be deemed an “item” within the meaning of Article 4 of the Uniform Commercial Code. You agree that you will not use the Mobile Deposit Service to deposit any of the following checks or other items (“Prohibited Checks”):
- Checks or items payable to any person or entity other than you;
- Checks or items containing alterations to any of the fields on the front of the check or item, or which you know or suspect, or should know or suspect, are fraudulent or otherwise not authorized by the owner of the account on which the check or item is drawn;
- Checks or items previously converted to a substitute check, as defined in Reg CC;
- Checks or items drawn on a financial institution located outside the United States;
- Checks or items that are remotely created checks, as defined in Reg CC;
- Checks or items not payable in United States currency;
- Checks or items dated more than 6 months prior to the date of deposit;
- Checks prohibited by the Bank’s procedures relating to the Mobile Deposit Service or which are otherwise not acceptable under the Account Agreement pertaining to the Online Account into which you seek to make such Mobile Deposit;
- Checks payable on sight or payable through drafts;
- Checks with any endorsement on the back other than that specified in this Appendix;
- Checks that have previously been negotiated or submitted through the Mobile Deposit Service or a remote deposit capture service offered at any other financial institution;
- Checks that are drawn or otherwise issued by the U. S. Treasury Department;
- Money Orders or Postal Money Orders; and
- Travelers Checks.You hereby grant us a security interest in all of your Accounts or other deposits (whether general or special) at the Bank, and in all funds in such Accounts or other deposits, to secure your obligations to the Bank under this Appendix to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. This security interest will survive any termination of your use of the Mobile Deposit Service.
- You agree that we may, in our sole discretion, amend the list of Prohibited Checks from time to time. If you deposit a Prohibited Check, you agree to indemnify and reimburse the Bank for, and hold the Bank harmless from and against, any and all losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) the Bank may incur associated with any warranty, indemnity or other claim related thereto.
- The images of checks transmitted to the Bank using the Mobile Deposit Service must be legible, as determined in our discretion. Without limiting the foregoing, each image of each check must be of such quality that the following information can be clearly read and understood by sight review of such image:
- The amount of the check;
- The payee of the check;
- The signature of the person who wrote the check;
- The date of the check;
- The check number;
- The information identifying the drawer and the paying bank that is preprinted on the check, including the MICR line; and
- All other information placed on the check prior to the time an image of the check is captured, such as any required identification written on the front of the check and any endorsements applied to the back of the check.
Each image shall also comply with any other requirements established from time to time by the Bank, and shall meet all standards for image quality established by the American National Standards Institute, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other regulatory agency, clearinghouse or association.
- You agree to restrictively endorse any check transmitted through the Mobile Deposit Service with your name and the legend “FOR MOBILE DEPOSIT ONLY” or as otherwise instructed by the Bank. You shall scan the front and back of each check to be deposited and thereby capture the image of the front and back of each check and any other required data from each check and transmit the images to be deposited and all other required data and information from or pertaining to such checks to the Bank in accordance with the terms of this Appendix. We reserve the right to amend the terms contained in this Appendix, with or without prior notice to you. You agree to comply at all times with the Bank’s safety and security procedures published on our website or otherwise provided to you and to safeguard the confidentiality and security of the security procedures and all other proprietary property or information the Bank provides to you in connection with the Mobile Deposit Service and to notify us immediately if you have any reason to believe the security or confidentiality required by this provision has been or may be breached. You acknowledge, understand and agree that the security procedures are not designed for the detection of errors. The Bank is not, and will not be, obligated to detect errors by you or others, even if the Bank takes certain actions from time to time to do so. To ensure accuracy, you shall key the amount of each check prior to transmitting the Mobile Deposit in accordance with the terms of this Appendix. You may send multiple Mobile Deposits to the Bank on the same day, not to exceed the deposit limits assigned to you by the Bank.
-
You agree that you shall be solely liable for, and the Bank shall not have any liability whatsoever to you for, any Mobile Deposit or the images or other information contained therein that are not received by the Bank. You also agree to be liable for Mobile Deposits or the images or other information contained therein that are intercepted or altered by an unauthorized third party or dropped during transmission. You agree that the Bank has no obligation to accept a Mobile Deposit and, therefore, we reserve the right to reject any Mobile Deposit or the images or other information contained therein transmitted through the Mobile Deposit Service, at our discretion, without liability to you. Unless required by applicable law, the Bank has no obligation to notify you of the rejection of a Mobile Deposit or the images or other information contained therein and shall have no liability to you for failing to do so. A Mobile Deposit is considered received by the Bank when a complete copy of the Mobile Deposit has been written on a Bank electronic storage device in conformity with the Bank’s technical and operational requirements. To meet the cut-off time referenced in the Bank’s funds availability policy, the Mobile Deposit must be received by the Bank prior to the cut-off time and successfully pass the edits for conformity with the technical requirements. For purposes of determining when a Mobile Deposit has been delivered and received, the Bank’s records shall be determinative.
Upon receipt of a Mobile Deposit submitted by you, the Bank may examine such Mobile Deposit and the images and other information contained therein to ensure that you have complied with the terms of this Appendix. If the Bank determines that you have not complied with the terms of this Appendix or if errors exist in the images or other information contained in the Mobile Deposit, the Bank, in its sole discretion, may either reject the Mobile Deposit or elect to correct the error, and accept and process the corrected Mobile Deposit (a “Corrected Mobile Deposit”). As a form of correction, the Bank may credit your Account for the full amount of the deposit and make any necessary adjustments to the Account to correct the error. The Bank may, at its option, also perform a risk management analysis of one or more Mobile Deposits submitted by you to detect potentially fraudulent checks, and, in its sole discretion, the Bank may reject any such Mobile Deposit, the images or other information contained therein. If after examination of a Mobile Deposit, the images and other information contained therein, the Bank determines that you have complied with the terms of this Appendix, the Bank shall accept the Mobile Deposit for deposit to the Online Account that you have specified for such deposit. Notwithstanding that the Bank has accepted a Mobile Deposit for processing, any credit made to any of your Accounts in connection therewith shall be provisional until the final settlement of the deposited item, and you shall remain liable to the Bank for any errors, inaccuracies, breach of warranties and any other loss sustained by, or claim made against, the Bank.
- Funds from your Mobile Deposit that are received and accepted by the Bank will be made available to you according to our funds availability policy, as outlined in the applicable Account Agreement. The Mobile Deposit Service is subject to transaction limitations and the Bank reserves the right to change our funds availability policy, in our sole discretion, subject to applicable law.
-
You shall mark, stamp, or write on the original check “Electronically Presented” after scanning the check. You agree to securely store the original check for a period of ninety-one (91) calendar days from the date of the image transmission (such period the “Retention Period”). During the Retention Period, you shall take appropriate security measures to ensure that (a) only authorized persons shall have access to original checks, (b) the information contained on such checks shall not be disclosed, (c) such checks will not be duplicated or scanned more than one time, and (d) such checks will not be deposited or negotiated in any form. During the Retention Period, you agree to promptly (but in all events within 5 business days) provide the original check to the Bank upon request. The risk of loss due to the unavailability of the original or a copy of a check for any reason, during the Retention Period, shall be exclusively on you.
Upon expiration of the Retention Period, you shall securely and irretrievably destroy the original checks you transmitted using commercially reasonable methods of destruction. You are obligated to ensure that the original checks are not accessed by unauthorized persons during the storage, destruction and disposal process and, once destroyed, the original checks will be unprocessable and all sensitive personal and financial information undecipherable. You hereby indemnify the Bank for, and hold the Bank harmless from and against, any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, losses and damages, of whatever nature or kind, and regardless of the theory upon which the same is (are) based, caused directly or indirectly by, arising out of, related to, in connection with or resulting wholly or partially from, the retention and destruction of original checks by you.
- We reserve the right to establish limits on the amount(s) and/or number of deposits that you may transmit using the Mobile Deposit Service and to modify such limits from time to time. If you attempt to initiate a Mobile Deposit in excess of these limits, we may reject your Mobile Deposit. If we permit you to make a Mobile Deposit in excess of these limits, such Mobile Deposit will still be subject to the terms of this Appendix, and we will not be obligated to allow such a Mobile Deposit at other times. The Bank reserves the right to change the limits. Any such change shall be effective immediately and may be implemented prior to your receipt of notice thereof.
- In order to use the Mobile Deposit Service, you must obtain and maintain, at your sole cost and expense, a compatible mobile device and/or other hardware and software that meets all technical requirements, as specified by the Bank from time to time, for the proper delivery of the Mobile Deposit Service and that fulfills your obligation to obtain and maintain secure access to the Internet. The Bank is not responsible for any third party software you may need to use for the Mobile Deposit Service. Any such software is accepted by you “as is” and is subject to the terms and conditions of the software agreement you enter into directly with the third party software provider at the time of download and installation. You understand and agree that you may also incur, and shall pay, any and all expenses related to the use of the Mobile Deposit Service, including but not limited to telephone, mobile data, or internet service charges. You understand and agree that you are solely responsible for the operation, maintenance and updating of all equipment, software and services used in connection with the Mobile Deposit Service and the cost thereof, and you hereby agree that you will perform, or cause to be performed, all vendor recommended maintenance, repairs, upgrades and replacements. The Bank is not responsible for, and you hereby release the Bank from, any and all claims or damages resulting from, or related to, any virus or malware or related problems that may be associated with your using electronic mail or the Internet. The Bank is not responsible for, and you hereby release the Bank from, any and all claims or damages resulting from, or related to, defects in or malfunctions of your hardware or software, or failures of or interruptions in any electrical, telephone, mobile data, or Internet services. The Bank hereby advises you, and you hereby agree, to scan your mobile device, hardware and software on a regular basis using a reliable virus detection product in order to detect and remove viruses or harmful malware.
- The manner in which the images are cleared, presented for payment, and collected shall be in the Bank’s sole discretion, subject to applicable law and the applicable Account Agreement. The Bank, in its sole discretion, shall select the clearing agents used to collect and present the images, and the Bank’s selection of the clearing agents shall be considered to have been designated by you.
- You agree that the Bank retains all ownership and proprietary rights in the Mobile Deposit Service, associated content, technology, and website(s), including but not limited to the object and source codes therefor, and any and all updates, upgrades, fixes and enhancements thereto and any and all documentation, user guides and instructions pertaining thereto. Your use of the Mobile Deposit Service is subject to and conditioned upon your complete compliance with the terms of this Appendix. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, any breach of the terms of this Appendix shall result in the immediate termination of your right to use the Mobile Deposit Service. Without limiting the restriction of the foregoing, you may not use the Mobile Deposit Service (i) in any anti-competitive manner, (ii) for any purpose that would be contrary to our business interest, or (iii) to the Bank’s actual or potential economic disadvantage in any respect. You may use the Mobile Deposit Service only for the purpose intended in accordance with this Appendix. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute or create derivative works from the content and agree not to reverse engineer, reverse compile, or create derivative works from any of the technology used to provide the Mobile Deposit Service.

Our duties and responsibilities relating to the Mobile Deposit Service are limited to those described in or otherwise incorporated into this Appendix. We will use commercially reasonable care in performing our responsibilities under this Appendix. You agree to carefully review your Account statements and each transaction as soon as possible. If there are any errors or discrepancies regarding checks deposited through the Mobile Deposit Service, including without limitation unauthorized transactions, signatures or alterations, you agree to promptly notify us of such errors or discrepancies within the time set forth in or incorporated into the applicable Account Agreement. Otherwise, we will consider the information contained in your Account statements correct. Subject to applicable law, you may not make any claim against us for transactions reflected on any Account statement that you believe are incorrect, altered, forged, unauthorized or improperly paid unless you notify us of that claim in writing within 30 calendar days after the statement was sent or made available to you.
We shall not be responsible for suspension of performance of all or any of our obligations, responsibilities or covenants hereunder, whether expressed or implied, if at any time, or from time to time, compliance therewith is prevented or hindered by, or is in conflict with: any federal or state law, regulation or rule; the order of any court of competent jurisdiction; any act of God or of the public enemy, war, epidemic, strike, or work stoppages of the U.S. Postal Service and commercial carrier(s); any electric power disruption or shortage, telecommunications failure or computer failures; any acts, omissions or errors of any carrier and/or agent operating between you and us or us and any Federal Reserve Bank or other agency utilized to exercise transfers or any recipients of transferred funds; any incorrect, unauthorized or fraudulent use or other fraud by any person other than our employees; or, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any other cause or circumstance beyond our control or other conditions or circumstances not wholly controlled by us, which would prohibit, retard or otherwise affect our complete or partial performance under the terms of this Appendix.
- The control and flow of documents, files, data, or other information depends in large part on the performance of Internet services provided or controlled by third parties. Actions or inactions of such third parties can impair or disrupt your connections to the Internet (or portions thereof). We cannot guarantee that such events will not occur. Accordingly, we disclaim any and all liability arising out of, resulting from or related to, such events, and in no event shall we be liable for any damages of any kind (whether in contract, in tort or otherwise) that are attributable or in any way related to the Internet infrastructure or your or our ability or inability to connect to the Internet.
