This agreement is in addition to other agreements between Evansville Commerce Bank and you, including but not limited to, your Internet Banking Services Agreement, and any other agreements you may have with the bank, as each may be modified from time to time. If there is a conflict between the terms and conditions of this agreement and one contained in the other agreements between you and us, this agreement will control. General Terms. Each time you use our Services or you permit any other person to use our Services, you are agreeing to the terms and conditions that we have set out in this agreement, as amended, and each amendment thereto from time to time by us. Each time you use our Services or you permit any other person to use our Services, you are agreeing to the terms and conditions of any instructional material, which we provide to you regarding the Services. And, each time you use our Services or you permit any other person to use our Services, you are acknowledging receipt and understanding of this disclosure. Except in instances of conflict, the terms and conditions of the Internet Banking Services Agreement shall be incorporated herein by reference. If any terms and conditions of this agreement and the Internet Banking Services Agreement do conflict, however, the terms and conditions of this agreement shall control. When any payment or other online service generates items to be charged to your account, you agree that we may debit your designated Eligible account or the account on which the item is drawn without requiring your signature on the item and without prior notice to you. Any transactions resulting from your instructions which we receive under your password shall be deemed to have been “a writing” and authenticated by you “in writing.” All records maintained by us of transactions under your password shall be deemed to have been “signed” and to constitute an “original” when printed from records established and maintained by us or our authorized agent in the normal course of business. You agree not to contest the authorization for, or validity or enforceability of, the records and “signed” documents, or the admissibility of copies thereof, under any applicable law relating to whether certain agreements, files or records are to be in writing or signed by the party to be bound thereby. Records and “signed” documents, if introduced as evidence on paper in any judicial or other proceedings, will be admissible to the same extent and under the same conditions as other documentary business records. Upon our written request, you agree to manually sign or place your signature on any paper original of any record or “signed” document which we provide to you containing your purported signature. Your use of the Services may be made by use of certain numbers, codes, marks, signs, public keys or other means of establishing your identity and acceptance of the electronic communications, which are acceptable to us. Liability for Loss. Account Access. Eligible accounts include checking or money market Evansville Commerce Bank personal or non-personal accounts. Money Market accounts are limited to three written checks per statement cycle, with a total of six restricted transactions per month. Federal regulations limit some types of transactions to six per month. These restricted transactions include bill payments, telephone transfers, Internet banking transfers, pre-authorized debits, and automated clearinghouse debits. Liability for Multiple Users of Your Account. Bill Payment Services. You may use Evansville Commerce Bank Bill Pay to make current, future and recurring payments from an Eligible Evansville Commerce Bank designated account. To cancel this service, please contact us during normal business hours. i. Bill Pay Registration. You are responsible for providing contact information for each payee of a Bill Pay transaction. You are also responsible for providing any changes to this contact information as soon as you are aware of them in order to prevent a loss. Five business days must be allowed for payment processing prior to the due date. Your vendor may require additional processing time, above and beyond our processing time. Using the Bill Payment service, you may only pay established payees with United States addresses. While payments to most payees can be made using the Bill Payment service, we reserve the right to refuse to make payments to certain payees, such as alimony, child support, tax and other court directed or government payments, fines or penalties. We are unable to process any payments to federal, state or local tax agencies. ii. Authorization of Payment. When you have entered and transmitted a payment instruction, you authorize us or our agent to reduce the balance in your designated account by an amount equal to that amount requested in your payment instruction to us. If there are insufficient funds in your designated account to make the payments you have authorized, we may either refuse to pay the item or we may make the payment and thereby overdraw your designated account. In either event, you are responsible for any non-sufficient funds (NSF) and overdraft charges we may impose as stated in your depositor agreement. Funds for payments clear your account as would any other ACH or paper item. ACH items usually clear within 3 days; and paper items usually clear within 5 days. Additional time may elapse due to payee processing delays or other delays in the postal service or electronic payment systems. Bill Payment transactions may not exceed $9,999, or the transaction limit established by the Bank, whichever is lower. WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY DAMAGES RESULTING FROM AN NSF OR OVERDRAFT CHARGE. iii. Stopping Bill Payments. You have the right to stop or change any scheduled payment. You must cancel the payment by no later than 4:00 PM Eastern Time, on the Payment Date, by using the DELETE function on the Pending Bills page of Evansville Commerce Bank’s Internet Banking Service. iv. Bill Payment on time. If you scheduled your payment to be processed at least five business days before the due date, and Evansville Commerce Bank or our agent does not properly complete a bill payment on time or in the correct amount, we will pay any late fees or finance charges as long as your account was in good standing with the payee prior to this incident. You will be required to produce proof of the payment in the form of a confirmation number, which you can print or record at the time the payment was scheduled. We shall not be responsible for any charges imposed or any other action taken by a payee resulting from a payment that you have not scheduled properly, including any applicable finance charges and late fees. IN ADDITION, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE IF ANY THIRD PARTY THROUGH WHICH ANY BILL PAYMENT IS MADE FAILS TO PROPERLY TRANSMIT THE PAYMENT TO THE INTENDED PAYEE. WE WILL ALSO NOT BE LIABLE IN THE FOLLOWING INSTANCES: IF THERE ARE INSUFFICIENT FUNDS OR INSUFFICIENT CREDIT AVAILABLE IN YOUR DESIGNATED PAYMENT ACCOUNT AND/OR OVERDRAFT PROTECTION PLAN; IF A LEGAL ORDER DIRECTS US TO PROHIBIT WITHDRAWALS FROM THE PAYMENT ACCOUNT; IF THE PAYMENT ACCOUNT IS CLOSED OR FROZEN; OR IF ANY PART OF THE ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF BILL PAY. v. Termination. Evansville Commerce Bank reserves the right to terminate your use of Bill Pay at any time without notice. vi. Cancellation of Bill Payment. If, for any reason, you should ever wish to cancel or terminate your Bill Pay service, you must inform us of your decision to do so in writing. We strongly suggest that you cancel all future bill payments at the same time that you cancel your service by deleting those payments yourself using Evansville Commerce Bank’s Bill Payment Service. This will ensure that future payments made by you will not be duplicated. We will automatically delete all outstanding payment orders (all individual payments and all recurring payments) once we have been notified that your service has been terminated. If you terminate a Bill Payment service, you authorize us to continue making payments that you have previously authorized until we have a reasonable opportunity to act upon your termination notice. Once we have acted upon your termination notice, we will make no further payments that you have previously authorized. vii. Inactivity. If you do not log on for 90 days, we may cancel your Evansville Commerce Bank Internet Banking Service. If your service is canceled at any time, your online bill payment information will be lost. viii. Bill Payment fee. (if applicable) The Bill Pay monthly fees cover service for the previous month and are effective upon enrollment. Fees will be charged to your payment account, whether or not bill payments are made in the month. If the payment account has insufficient funds to cover payment of the fees, we may deduct the fee from any other checking or savings account that you may have with Evansville Commerce Bank, in any order we choose. If the fee cannot be paid, we may cancel Bill Pay. After cancellation, Bill Pay may be reinstated once sufficient funds are available in your account to cover all accrued Bill Pay fees and any other pending transfers or debits. E-Mail. Evansville Commerce Bank Bill Payment Service Fee. If you do not use this service for any three-month period, we reserve the right to discontinue your service without notice to you.
