• Direct E-Bills - we receive a file containing your bill summary information directly from the payee. This information is then presented to you in Bill Payment for payment.
• Indirect E-Bills - we collect and store your bill information from the payee's website. This information is then presented to you in Bill Payment for payment. You may need to supply your login information for the payee's website. When you supply the login information, you are authorizing us to access the payee's website to retrieve account information on your behalf.
• When you establish E-Bills with a participating payee, you will be prompted for information that the payee needs to set up the service. You will also be provided instructions and/or disclosure information for the particular payee. If you have concerns about any information that you are providing or have received, you should contact the payee directly.
• Delivery of E-Bills in a timely fashion is the responsibility of the payee. If you do not receive a E-Bill or have questions about your E-Bill, it is your responsibility to contact the payee directly. We are not responsible for any late charges or other adverse consequences as a result of non-delivery or untimely delivery of any E-Bills.
• E-Bills service can be discontinued by any parties at any time. You will be notified if we or the participating payee discontinues the E-Bills service. You can discontinue receiving E-Bills for any participating payee at any time. The payee is responsible for cancelling the service.

You agree that use of your password constitutes your authorization for all transactions made using your password.  You agree to be responsible for the safekeeping of your password and agree to take reasonable precautions from your password being made available to unauthorized individuals.  If you believe that your password or computer has been lost or stolen, or that someone may access your account without your consent, or that someone has transferred funds without your permission, you agree to notify the Bank immediately.

Access, Transfer And Payment Limitations
You will be denied access to Online Banking if you do not use a valid User ID and password. Access will also be denied if you exceed the number of invalid attempts allowed by us.

Your Liability For Unauthorized Transfers
Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your password has been lost, stolen or used without your permission. 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 you tell us within two business days after you learn of the loss, misuse or theft of your password, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your password without your permission.

If you do NOT tell us within two business days after you learn of the loss, misuse or theft of your password, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using or accessing your Accounts without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.

Also, if your statement shows transfers that you did not make, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within 60 days after the statement was mailed to you, you may not get back any money you lost after the 60 days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money if you had told us in time.
If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods.

Bank's Liability
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:

• If through no fault of ours, you do not have enough available funds in your account to make the transfer or bill payment, or your account is closed.
• If your computer malfunctions or Online Banking was not available and such a problem should have been apparent to you when you attempted to do such a transaction.
• If the transfer would cause the balance to go over the credit limit on your overdraft line related to your account.
• If you utilize the wrong security code or you have not followed the prescribed user instructions for making transfers or bill payment transactions.
• If a legal order directs us to prohibit withdrawals from the account.
• If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood) prevent the transfer, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken.
• If you do not authorize a bill payment in the minimum amount of time for your payment to be made and properly credited by the payee by the time it is due.
• If you, or anyone you permit, commits any fraud or violates any law or regulation related to your online account.
• If the error was caused by a system outside the Bank's control, such as your Internet Service Provider.
• There may be other exceptions stated in our agreement with you and may be implemented from time to time.
