Definitions

who uses or is authorized to use an Internet Banking identification number
and password or other means of access we establish or approve. The words

(Buckeye Community Bank's Internet Banking Services) means our services
that allow you to obtain account information, transfer funds, make payments

other transactions over the Internet by use of a personal computer and modem

When you use our Services or you permit another person to use our Services,

and any instructional material that we provide you regarding the Services.
Access to Services
Our Services are for authorized use by Buckeye Community Bank customers
only. Attempted unauthorized access is a violation of federal law and will
be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
You must have at least one eligible personal deposit, credit, or other account
type with us. You may not designate any account that requires more than
one signature for withdrawals. You must be the owner of this account (or
accounts). Your accounts with us must be in good standing. For Bill Pay
services, you must have a checking account that will be designated as the
account from which bill payments will be made.
You, or someone you have authorized by giving them your Access Codes, can
instruct us to provide information or perform transactions on any of your
accounts for which you have enrolled for Services including:
| a. |
Account
Information - information, including transaction history, about your
accounts. |
| b. |
Funds
Transfers - make transfers between your accounts. |
| c. |
Bill
Pay - make current, future and recurring payments from an eligible
personal Buckeye Community Bank checking account. See Bill Pay section
below. |
| d. |
Download
transactions - download information into certain personal finance
software products. |
| e. |
Other
Services - obtain other services or perform other transactions that
we may authorize. |
Access Codes
To access our Services you must use the identification code and/or
other means we establish or provide for your Internet Banking Customer Account,
together with a password (collectively referred to as "Access Codes").
Anyone to whom you provide your Access Codes will have full access to your
accounts even if you attempt to limit that person's authority. For your
protection, we recommend that you do not use the same Access Codes for these
Services that you use on other bank and non-bank products. You are responsible
to protect your Access Codes from unauthorized access.
You agree not to allow anyone to gain access to the Services or to let anyone
know your Access Codes used with the Services. You agree to assume responsibility
for all transactions initiated through the Service with your Access Codes,
up to the limits allowed by applicable law.
Lost or Stolen Access Codes or Unauthorized Access
If your Access Codes have been lost or stolen or you believe an unauthorized
person is accessing your accounts, call us immediately at 440-233-8800 or
1-877-805-2265 or by writing to 105 Sheffield Center, Lorain, OH 44055.
Telephoning us immediately is the best way of minimizing your possible losses.
To the extent that a transaction is an electronic fund transfer, you can
lose no more than $50 if you notify us within two (2) business days of discovering
any unauthorized use of the Services or your Access Codes. However, you
can lose as much as $500 if you do not notify us within two (2) business
days of discovering the unauthorized use and we can prove that we could
have stopped the unauthorized use had we been notified.
If your periodic statement shows transfers that you did not make, inform
us immediately. If you do not inform us within sixty (60) days after the
statement was mailed to you, you may not get back any money lost after the
sixty days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking
the money if you had informed us in time. If a good reason (such as a long
trip a hospital stay) kept you from informing us, we will extend the time
period.
Incorrect Transactions on Your Statement
In case of errors or questions about your electronic transfers, notify us
by calling 440-233-8800 or 1-877-805-2265 or by writing to 105 Sheffield
Center, Lorain, OH 44055 as soon as you can.
You may E-mail us at feedback@buckeyebank.com. We will send e-mail back
to you as confirmation that we did receive it. Because E-mail is not a secure
method of communication over the Internet, we recommend that you do not
include any of your account or social security numbers in your e-mail. Your
name, address, and a brief message as to what the problem might be is all
we will need.
We must hear from you no later than 60 days after we sent you the FIRST
statement on which the error or problem appeared. If you do not report unauthorized
transactions within sixty (60) days after the statement(s) are mailed or
electronically transmitted to you, you risk unlimited losses on transactions
made after the 60 day period which would not have been lost if we had been
notified in time. If you report errors or questions to us orally, you must
send the complaint or question to us in writing within 10 business days
in order to preserve your rights.
In your letter, give us the following information:
| 1. |
Tell
us your name and account number. |
| 2. |
Describe
the error or the transfer you are unsure about, and explain as clearly
as you can why you believe it is an error or why you need more information. |
| 3. |
Tell
us the dollar amount of the suspected error. |
We will determine whether an error occurred within 10 business days (20
business days for new accounts) after we hear from you and will correct
any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45
days to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this,
we will credit your account within 10 business days for the amount you
think is in error, so that you will have use of the money during the time
it takes us to complete our investigation. If you report an error or question
orally and we do not receive a written complaint or question in writing
with in 10 business days, we may not recredit your account.
We will tell you the results of our investigation within three business
days after completing our investigation. If we decide that there was no
error, we will send you a written explaination. You may ask for copies
of the documents that we used in our investigation.
For suspected loan transaction errors, you do not have to pay any amount
in question while we are investigating, but you are still obligated to
pay the parts of your bill that are not in question. While we investigate
your question, we cannot report you as delinquent or take any action to
collect the amount you question.
Transfer and Payment Limits
You must have enough available collected funds or credit in any account
from which you instruct us to make a payment or transfer. If the date
you schedule a payment to be made is not a Business Day, funds must be
available in your account the following Business Day. Bill payments will
be debited to your account on the date you schedule the payment (or the
next Business Day, if applicable).
Preauthorized Payments Stop Payment
If you told us in advance to make regular payments out of your accounts,
you can stop any of these payments. Here's how: Call us at 440-233-8800
or 1-877-805-2265, or write us at 105 Sheffield Center, Lorain, OH 44055,
in time to receive your request 3 business days or more before payment
is scheduled to be made. If you call, we may also require you to put your
request in writing and get it to us within 14 days after you call. (We
will charge you $20 for each stop payment order you give.)
Notice of Varying Amounts
If you told us in advance to make regular payments out of your account
and these regular payments may vary in amount, we will tell you, 10 days
before each payment, when it will be made and how much it will be. (You
may choose instead to get this notice only when the payment would differ
by more than a certain amount from the previous payment, or when the amount
would fall outside certain limits that you set.)
Bill
Payment
Bill payments and transfers must be payable in U.S. dollars to a payee
located in the United States. You can use the bill payment service to
pay anyone except Government Agencies. We reserve the right to restrict
types of payees to whom payments may be made using the Services from time
to time. You should not use the Bill Pay service to make payments to settle
securities purchases, tax payments, or court ordered payments. Payments
for these payees will be your sole responsibility if delayed or improperly
processed or credited.
If any of your qualifying accounts are money market or savings accounts,
certain types of withdrawals from those accounts, including payments and
transfers, are limited to a total of no more than six (6) in any specified
period. You agreed to the "Terms and Conditions of Your Deposit Account"
that you received when you opened your deposit account. Please refer to
those terms and for more information on applicable transaction limits.
You may request another disclosure of these from the bank at any time.
There is
a monthly bill payment fee of $4.50 for the first 10 bill payments. There
is a charge of $0.35 for each additional bill.
Bill payments from your eligible account are limited to $9,999.99 per
payment. Payments can be entered, edited, or deleted Sunday through Friday
until 11:00pm EST the day before the scheduled payment date.
Bill Payment Deadlines
You must schedule a bill payment ten (10) business days prior to the Payee's
due date for check payments and four (4) business days prior to the due
date for electronic payments to allow for proper and timely posting to
your payee account. This means you must schedule the payment date to be
either 10 or 4 days, as applicable, prior to the due date.
Bill Payment "Stop Payments"
If you wish to stop payment on a Bill Payment you must delete the payment
from the Bill Pay system before 11:00pm EST, Sunday through Friday, the
day before the scheduled payment date.
Bill Payment Risk Reduction Measures
We, or our agent, may, in our discretion, implement features to reduce
credit risks. These may include, but are not limited to, pre-authorized
drafts for business customers, verifying funds through an ATM network,
and separating debits from credits so that payments are not sent until
after good funds are received.
Bill Payments and Transfers - Your Responsibility
You are responsible for all transfers and bill payments you authorize
using the Services. If you permit other persons to use the Services or
your Access Codes, you are responsible for any transactions they authorize
from your linked eligible accounts. You are liable for all transactions
that you make or authorize, even if the person you authorize exceeds your
authority. If you have given someone your Access Codes and want to terminate
that person's authority, you must change your Access Codes to prevent
further access by such person.
You are responsible for having sufficient funds in your account(s). You
are liable for our standard fees associated with overdrafts in your account
or for insufficient funds (NSF's). If your account does not have sufficient
funds to make a payment as of the scheduled date, the payment will be
canceled and no further attempt will be made by our agent or us to complete
the payment. You are responsible for making alternative arrangements for
the payment or for rescheduling the payment through the Service. In the
case of recurring payments, only the currently scheduled payment will
be cancelled. Payments scheduled for future dates will not be affected.
In the event you have sufficient funds to make some, but not all, scheduled
payments, we or our agent may, in our sole discretion, determine which
payments to complete.
You agree that when any transfer, bill payment, or other transaction is
generated by the Services, we may debit your designated account or the
account on which the item is drawn without requiring your signature on
the item and without prior notice to you.
Bill Payments and Transfers - Our Responsibility for
Completing
If we, or a third party acting as our agent, do not complete a payment
or transfer on time or in the correct amount according to our agreement
with you, we are responsible except:
| 1. |
If,
through no fault of ours, you do not have sufficient collected funds
in the account from which a payment or transfer is to be made, or
if the account has been closed or is not in good standing, or if we
reverse a payment or transfer because of insufficient funds. |
| 2. |
If
any payment or transfer would go over the credit limit of any account. |
| 3. |
If
our equipment was not working properly and the breakdown should have
been apparent to you when you attempted to conduct the transaction. |
| 4. |
If
your equipment was not working properly. |
| 5. |
If
you have not given us complete, correct or current account numbers,
other identifying information, or instructions so that we can properly
credit your account or otherwise complete the transaction. |
| 6. |
If
you do not properly follow our instructions or if you provide us with
wrong or inaccurate information or fail to correct or tell us about
any inaccuracy of which you are aware. |
| 7. |
If
you do not instruct us soon enough for your payment or transfer to
be received and credited by the time it's due as described in the
Payment Deadlines section. |
| 8. |
If
a timely bill payment is made but the payee nevertheless does not
credit your account promptly after receipt. |
| 9. |
If
the money in the account from which a payment or transfer is to be
made is subject to legal process or other claim that restricts access
to the funds. |
| 10. |
If
we or our agent reasonably believes that a transaction may be unauthorized
and based thereon the transaction is not completed. |
| 11. |
If
circumstances or persons beyond our control prevent, delay, intercept
or alter the transaction, despite reasonable precautions that we have
taken. |
| 12. |
If
circumstances or persons beyond our or our agent's control prevent,
delay, intercept, or alter the making of a transfer or payment, despite
reasonable precautions that we have taken. Such circumstances include,
but are not limited to, computer failure, telecommunications breakdowns
or interruptions, labor disputes, delays caused by payees, interruption
of service by ATM or other payment networks, fires, floods, and other
natural disasters. |
Our liability to reimburse payee-imposed late fees, provided the payment
was scheduled and made in accordance with the above requirements, shall
not exceed $50. We may attempt on your behalf to have a late fee reversed
or waived. We have no liability for late fees for payments not initiated
following the instructions defined in this agreement or provided in other
instructional materials regarding the Services. In no event shall we be
liable for damages that exceed your actual loss due to our failure to complete
a transfer, and we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or
consequential damages.
Limitation of Liability
You agree that our liability for viruses, worms, trojan horses, or other
similar harmful components that may enter your computer system by downloading
information, software, or other materials from our site shall be limited
to replacing, or the reasonable cost of replacing, the lost information,
software, or other material.
You agree that each party shall bear the liability or the risk of any error
or loss of data, information, transactions or other losses that may be due
to the failure of their respective computer system or third party communications
provider on which each party may rely.
We shall have no liability to you for any damage or other loss, direct,
indirect, incidental, or consequential, that you may incur from such viruses,
worms, trojan horses, or other similar harmful components or by reason of
your use of your computer system or your communications provider.
We shall not be liable for any losses resulting from circumstances over
which we have no direct control, including, but not limited to, the failure
of electronic or mechanical equipment or communications lines, telephone
or other interconnect problems, operator errors, log-in sequences, severe
weather, earthquakes, floods and other such events. You acknowledge that
there are alternative methods for accessing the information and conducting
the transactions provided by the Services, such as payment by check. In
the event you experience problems in accessing the Services, you will attempt
to access such information and conduct such transactions by such alternative
methods.
There may be other exceptions to our liability as stated in your Depositor
Agreement or other agreements you have with us.
Electronic Payments
Payments made electronically over an automated clearinghouse system ("ACH")
