Internet Banking Agreement and Disclosure

This Internet Banking Agreement and Disclosure (the "Agreement") is between The Bank of San Jacinto County (the "Bank") and each depositor who has applied for, been approved for, and enrolled in our Internet Banking Services(the "Services"), or any person whom the depositor has authorized to use the depositor's Services. By completing and signing the Bank's Internet Banking Application/Enrollment form, you have agreed to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as it may be amended from time to time. This Agreement describes your and our rights, responsibilities, and obligations with respect to the Services, and supplements any other agreements between us, including the electronic funds transfer agreements and disclosures that you received previously when opening your bank deposit account and/or contracting for other types of electronic transfer access for those accounts. When you use the Services or you permit any other person to use the Services, you agree to the terms and conditions we have set out in this Agreement and any instructional material we provide regarding the Service. If there is a conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and those contained in other agreements between us, this Agreement will control.

In this Agreement, the words "you" and "your" mean each person who signs as applicant on our Internet Banking Application/Enrollment form and any person authorized by an applicant to use the applicant's Internet Banking Services. The term "Business Account" means an account that is not established primarily for personal, family, or household purposes. The term "Consumer Account" means any account established primarily for personal, family, or household purposes. The words, "we," "us," "our," and "Bank" mean The Bank of San Jacinto County and any agent, independent contractor, designee, or assignee that we may, in our sole discretion, involve in the provision of online services, including but not limited to Fiserv Solutions, Inc. The terms "designated account(s)" and "account(s)" mean your accounts with us that you designate on your Application/Enrollment form for Internet Banking Services. Internet Banking Services ("Services") means the information, communications, and transactions provided to you by us through the The Bank of San Jacinto County web site, URL address http://www.banksjc.com (the "Site") within our area of services, as described more fully below. Other definitions may appear within the text of this Agreement.

Eligibility: In order to be eligible for Internet Banking Services, you must have at least one deposit account with us. We will assign to you an Internet Banking customer identification ("ID") number and give you instructions to activate your personal identification number ("PIN"), which you must use to access Internet Banking. We may require you to change your PIN every three months for security purposes. You should keep your PIN in a secure location. Any person having access to your Internet Banking customer ID number and PIN will be able to access Internet Banking and perform all transactions, including reviewing your account information and making transfers between your accounts with us.

Linking Your Accounts: You can use Internet Banking to access as many of your accounts with us as you designate on your Internet Banking Application/Enrollment form. Accounts that are "linked" under the Services must have one common owner and signer. An account that requires two or more signatures to make withdrawals, transfers, or transactions cannot be accessed through the Services.

Access: Internet Banking is generally accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week, except for reasonable periods from time to time for system maintenance. We are not liable under this Agreement for failure to provide access due to a system failure or due to other unforeseen acts. We may modify, suspend, or terminate access to Internet Banking Services at any time and for any reason without prior notice, unless such notice is required by law. You should notify us immediately if an account that is not yours or to which you are not authorized access as a sole signer, or otherwise, is linked to your account by calling us at (936) 653-4395 or write to us at P.O. Box 100, Coldspring, Texas 77331.

Equipment and Software: The following devices (collectively, the "Equipment") are required to access the Services: personal computer and modem with browser equipped with 128-bit encryption.

Available Internet Banking Services: Depending upon the particular features you select, you may use your customer ID number and PIN to access the following Internet Banking Services:

(1) Account Information: You may view the current balance, interest rate, and history for your designated checking, savings and time accounts, as well as designated loan accounts. For your designated checking, and savings accounts, you can also view the current and prior periodic statements.

(2) Transfers: You may transfer funds between any designated checking and savings accounts. You may also transfer funds from a designated checking or savings account to pay a designated loan owed to the Bank. Transfers may be subject to other restrictions, described under "Limitations" below. Transfers to third parties may be effected through our Bill Pay Service, which is offered as an ancillary service to our Internet Banking Services.

Your account records are updated at the close of each business day to reflect credits and debits that are posted to your account that day. Therefore, when you use Internet Banking Services to access your designated account, your account balance may not reflect deposits and/or withdrawals that have been made since your account records were last updated.

E-Mail: You can use electronic mail ("e-mail") to contact us about inquiries, maintenance and/or problem resolution issues. However, e-mail is not a secure method of communication over the Internet and we recommend that you do not send confidential information by e-mail.

Limitations: For security purposes, we may from time to time, establish limits on the dollar amount of electronic funds transfers you may make each day that are different from those set forth below. These limits may vary according to the manner in which such transfers are made. If we make a change that results in stricter limits on the dollar amount set forth below or any other change about which, by law, we are required to give you notice, we will provide you with a written notice of the stricter limits or other change. The current limitations are:

  • There are no limits on the number of balances inquiries, or number or dollar amount of transfers you may make via Internet Banking in a single day. However, transfers from some types of accounts are restricted by federal law, or by our design of the product. You are not permitted under applicable law to make more than six (6) pre-authorized, automatic, telephone, or computer transfers from a savings or money market account each statement period.

No more than three (3) of the transfers may be made by draft, check, debit card, or similar order to a third party (to the extent permitted by these accounts). Refer to your account agreement for further information regarding these limitations.

  • The amount of Internet Banking transfers that you may make is limited by the available balance in the account you wish to transfer from, including any funds available through any type of overdraft protection arrangement you have established with us. If you request a transfer that exceeds the funds available in the account from which a transfer is being made, we will not be required to honor the transfer request. However, if we, in our sole discretion, choose to make a requested transfer that exceeds the funds available in the account, that account will be subject to our current fee for processing items drawn against non-sufficient funds.
  • Transfers may also be limited by legal processes or other claims restricting such transfers.
  • Transfer instructions received by us Monday through Friday, excluding holidays, before 5:00 P.M. Central Time will be credited/debited to your designated accounts on that business day, assuming that you have sufficient available funds. Transfers processed after that time or on a weekend or holidays will be credited/debited on the next business day.

Fees and Charges for Internet Banking Transactions:

  • There is no charge for the Internet Banking Service transactions.
  • However, fees and charges for other services may apply to Internet Banking transactions (including but not limited to fees for processing insufficient funds items).

Your Rights and Responsibilities:

(1) Your Responsibility:

You are responsible for keeping your customer ID number, PIN, and account data confidential. If you authorize other persons to use your customer ID number and PIN in any manner, your authorization will be considered unlimited in amount until you have notified us in writing that you have revoked your authority, and you are responsible for any transactions made by such person from your designated account(s) until you notify us that transfers by that person are no longer authorized by you.

(2) Liability for Unauthorized Internet Banking Transactions Involving Consumer Accounts:

Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your Internet Banking customer ID number or PIN has been lost or stolen or that someone has transferred or may transfer money from your account without your permission, or if you suspect any fraudulent activity on your account. Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. You could lose all the money in your accounts (plus your maximum overdraft line of credit).

 

Also, if your statement shows transfers that you did not make, tell us AT ONCE. If you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after the first statement showing such a transfer was mailed to you, you may not get back any money lost after the sixty (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 for notification.

If you believe that your customer ID number or PIN number has been lost or stolen or that someone has transferred or may transfer money from your account without your permission, call (936) 653-4395 or write to us at The Bank of San Jacinto County, P.O. Box 100, Coldspring, Texas 77331.

Business Accounts: To the extent your designated account is a Business Account, the limitations on liability set forth above are not applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, you will be liable for any unauthorized use of the Internet Banking Services in these instances unless otherwise provided by applicable law or written agreement with us.

Business Days: For purposes of this Agreement, our business days are Monday through Friday. Holidays are not included.
Documentation:

(1) Periodic Statement: You will get a monthly account statement from us, unless there are no transactions in a particular month. In that case, you will get a statement quarterly. All Internet Banking transfers effected during that statement period will be reflected on your statement.

(2) Direct Deposit: If you have arranged to have direct deposits made to your designated account at least once every sixty (60) days from the same person or company, you can call us at (936) 653-4395 or use Internet Banking to find out whether or not the deposit has been made.

Our Liability for Failure to Make Transfers: If we do not complete a transfer to or from your designated Consumer 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 to our liability for processing Internet Banking transactions on your account(s). We will NOT be liable, for instance;

  • If, through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money in your designated account to make the transfer.
  • If the funds in your designated account are attached, subject to legal process or other claim restricting such transfer.
  • If the transfer would go over the credit limit on your overdraft line.
  • If either you or we have terminated this Agreement.
  • If the system was NOT working properly and you knew about the malfunction or breakdown when you started the transfer request.
  • If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire, flood, malfunction in computer or communications equipment or malfunction or disruption of telephone line service) prevent the completion of the transaction despite reasonable precautions that we have taken to avoid these circumstances.
  • If we believe in good faith that a breach of security has occurred, or is occurring, involving your designated account(s) or any aspect of your utilization of Internet Banking Services and we take immediate steps to notify you.
  • If there are any other exceptions stated in other agreements between you and us, with respect to your account(s). There may be other exceptions stated throughout this Agreement.

You agree to abide by and be bound by all applicable limitations. In addition, if such failure is not intentional and results from a bona fide error, notwithstanding procedures to avoid such error, our liability shall be limited to the actual losses or damages proved.

If the affected account is a Business Account, the extent of our liability for failure to make timely transfers to or from the account will be governed by other provisions of this Agreement.

In Case of Errors or Questions About Your Electronic Transfers: Consumer Accounts: Telephone us at (936) 653-4395 or write to us at the address shown below as soon as you can, if you think your statement is wrong or if you need more information about a transfer listed on the statement:
