Eagle Bank Online Banking Agreement/Disclosure

Disclosures

This Eagle Bank Personal/Small Business Online Banking (On-Line Banking) Agreement and Disclosure ("the Agreement") states the terms and conditions governing basic internet banking services (the "Services" or "On-Line Banking Services") offered by Eagle Bank or any third party service providers. These terms and conditions are in addition to those that apply to any accounts you have with us or any other services you obtain from us or our third party providers. By using any of the On-Line Banking Services, you agree to abide by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The terms "we", "us" and "our" and "Bank" refer to Eagle Bank. "You" refers to each person who enrolls for On-Line Banking Services and has a PASSWORD (Personal Identification Number), and each person who accesses our internet banking services using your Password. The term "business days" means Monday through Friday, excluding Saturday, Sunday and Bank Holidays (Transfers made after 2:00 p.m. may be processed on the next business day). Your On-Line Banking Services and each of your accounts are also governed by the applicable Disclosure, Rates and Fee Schedules provided by the Bank in your New Account packet or in the supplemental agreements you accept with respect to specific on-line banking services, or as each may be modified from time to time. In the event of conflict between this disclosure and the Eagle Bank Deposit Agreement in effect at the time, the Deposit Agreement will govern.

You are responsible for paying any fees associated with On-Line Banking as outlined in the "Fees and Services" brochure or in the supplemental agreements for specific on-line banking services, as well as any telephone charges or fees incurred by accessing On-Line Banking Services.

Your initial use of On-Line Banking Services constitutes your acceptance and agreement to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement and acknowledges your receipt and understanding of this Agreement.

The Bank is entitled to act on instructions received through On-Line Banking under your Password and without inquiring into the identity of the person using your Password. You are liable for all transactions made or authorized using your Password. The Bank has no responsibility for establishing the identity of any person using your Password. If you give your Password to anyone, you do so at your own risk since anyone to whom you give your On-Line Banking Password or other means of access will have full access to your accounts even if you attempt to limit that person's authority. You must notify the Bank that your Password has been lost, stolen, or otherwise compromised and should not be honored and must be disabled. Call us immediately at (512) 746-2531 during normal banking hours. After hours you may send email, or write us at Eagle Bank, P.O. Box 345 , Jarrell , TX 76537 Do not include your Password in any correspondence.

Quickly telephoning us is the best way of reducing your possible losses. If an account is jointly owned, one holder of the joint account can enroll for On-Line Banking Services with one Password issued. You may not designate any account that requires more than one signature for withdrawals. You are liable for all transactions that any of you make or authorize, even if the person you authorize exceeds your authorization.

We will not be liable for the following:

1. If, through no fault of ours, you do not have enough available money 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 your account.

3. If your equipment or ours was not working properly and the breakdown should have been apparent to you when you attempted to conduct the transaction.

4. If you have not given us complete, correct or current account numbers or other identifying information so that we can properly credit your account or otherwise complete the transaction.

5. 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.

6. If the money in the account from which a payment or transfer is to be made is subject to legal process or other claim which restricts the transaction.

7. If the transaction(s) you are requesting violate a law, rule, regulation or agreement to which the Bank is subject.

8. If circumstances or persons beyond our control prevent, delay, intercept or alter the transaction, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken.

You recognize that transmission of information and data via the internet is inherently insecure, and unauthorized persons may through "hacking" or otherwise access information allowing them to gather information about you or access your account(s). While the Bank will take reasonable precautions to implement and maintain security measures restricting access by unauthorized persons, the Bank cannot guarantee internet security. Further, you recognize that many of the On-Line Banking Services offered or to be offered by the Bank are in fact provided by third party service providers. While the Bank will take reasonable precautions to select qualified service providers, and seeks to obtain appropriate assurances of security and confidentiality from these service providers, the Bank cannot and does not guarantee the performance, suitability or security of these third party service providers. You agree that the Bank shall not be liable or responsible for any unauthorized access to data or information relating to you or your account(s) or any breach of the duties and obligations of such third party service providers unless such access or breach results solely from the Bank's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

You hereby release the Bank from any liability and agree not to make any claim or bring any action against us for honoring or allowing any actions or transactions where you have authorized the person performing the action or transaction to use your account(s) and/or you have given your Password to such a person, or, in the case of a jointly held account, such person is one of the owners of the account. You agree to indemnify the Bank and hold it harmless from and against any and all liability (including but not limited to reasonable attorney fees) arising from any such claims or actions.

The Bank has the right to modify or terminate this agreement at any time. Specifically, the Bank reserves the right to terminate this agreement for nonuse in accordance with its procedures, or in the event the Bank elects, in its sole and absolute discretion, to terminate its On-Line Banking Services. We will comply with any notice requirements applicable under law for such changes or termination.

If we terminate this Agreement, no further On-Line Banking transfers or bill payments, if applicable, will be made, including but not limited to any payments or transfers scheduled in advance or any pre-authorized recurring payment or transfers. If we modify this Agreement, your continued use of On-Line Banking Services will constitute your acceptance of such changes in each instance. Persons will only be able to access accounts for which they are designated as "owner."

EXCLUSION OF WARRANTIES

THE BANK HAS NOT MADE, AND DOES NOT BY THIS AGREEMENT MAKE, ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE BANK OR ITS DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSSES OR DAMAGES INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF PROFITS, OR CLAIMS OF THIRD PARTIES, WHETHER OR NOT THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES WAS KNOWN OR SHOULD HAVE BEEN KNOWN BY THE BANK. THE BANK, AND ITS DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS ARE NOT AND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF ANY THIRD PARTY, INCLUDING THE THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS PROVIDING OR WHO WILL PROVIDE THE ON-LINE BANKING SERVICES CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

SYSTEM SERVICES

You can use System Services to check the balance of your Bank accounts, view Bank account histories, transfer funds between your Bank accounts, order checks, direct us to stop payment on a System payment or on a check or other item you have drawn or authorized outside the System, change your address and, if you have enrolled in the Bill Payment Service, pay bills from your Bank Accounts in the amounts and on the dates you direct through the Bill Payment System. Balance and activity information are real time, and may include recent deposits that have not finally cleared the banking system and, therefore, may still be subject to reversal in the event of their dishonor.

Password and Security

You agree not to give or make available your On-Line Banking password or other means to access your account to any unauthorized individuals. If you permit other persons to use the On-Line Banking Services or your On-Line Banking password or other means to access your account, you are responsible for any transactions they authorize. If you believe that your On-Line Banking password or other means to access your account has been lost or stolen or that someone may attempt to use the On-Line Banking Services without your consent or has transferred money without your permission, you must notify Eagle Bank at once by calling 512-746-2531 during normal customer service hours.

For security purposes, you are required to change your password upon your initial login to the System. You determine what password you will use and the identity of your password is not communicated to us. Your password should not be associated with any commonly known personal identification such as your social security number, address, birth date, child's name, etc. On the other hand, it should be something that you can memorize, because your access to Eagle Bank Online Banking will be revoked upon three unsuccessful attempts to log-on, and you will then have to contact us to regain access to the system. Nevertheless, it is important that you not write your password down, as it could be used by anyone who finds the password. You authorize us to act on instructions received through the System under your password. You accept responsibility for the confidentiality and security of your password and agree to change your password regularly.

You understand the importance of your role in preventing misuse of your accounts through the System and you agree to promptly examine your paper statement for each of your Bank accounts as soon as you receive it. Your password and login ID are intended to provide security against unauthorized entry and access to your accounts through the System. You must take appropriate steps to protect and keep confidential the use of your access ID and password. You agree to be responsible for all transactions made through the System and those transactions received by the Bank which are identified by a proper access ID and password, whether or not such transactions were properly made by you. Access ID and password are to verify authenticity and not to detect an error in the transmission or content of the request. You accept all risks from accidental disclosure or inadvertent use of your access ID and password by any party whatsoever, whether such disclosure or use are on account of your negligence or are deliberate acts.

If a transaction transmitted or authorized by you is received by the Bank, it will be deemed effective as your transaction and you will be obligated to pay the Bank the amount of such transaction even though the transaction may not have been authorized by you.

The Bank may elect, in its discretion, not to act on a request or transaction if it is unable to obtain reasonable verification as to the source of the transmission satisfactory to the Bank.

Data transferred via the System is encrypted in an effort to provide transmission security and the System utilizes identification technology to verify that the sender and receiver of all System transmissions can be appropriately identified by each other. Notwithstanding our efforts to insure that the System is secure, you acknowledge that the Internet is inherently insecure and that all data transfers, including electronic mail, occur openly on the Internet, and potentially can be monitored and read by others. We cannot and do not warrant that all data transfers utilizing the System, or e-mail transmitted to and from us, will not be monitored or read by others.

OUR LIABILITY FOR FAILURE TO MAKE A TRANSFER

If we do not complete a transfer to or from your account, including a bill payment, on time or in the correct amount, according to our agreement with you when you have properly instructed us to do so, we will be liable to you for your losses or damages caused as a result. However, there are some exceptions. We will NOT be liable, for instance:

  • If, through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money in your account to make a transfer.
  • If a legal order directs us to prohibit withdrawals from the account.
  • If your account is closed, or if it has been frozen.
  • If the transfer would cause your balance to go over the credit limit of an established line of credit or the credit limit for any credit arrangement set up to cover overdrafts.
  • If any electronic terminal, telecommunication device, or any part of the System is not working properly and you knew about the problem when you started the transfer.
  • If you have not provided us with complete and correct payment information for the Bill Payment Service, including, without limitation, the name, address, your payee assigned account number, payment date, and payment amount for the payee on a bill payment.
  • If you have not properly followed the on-screen instructions for using the System.
  • If circumstance beyond our control (such as fire, flood, interruption in telephone service or other communication lines) prevent the transfer, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken.
  • There may be other exceptions stated in our Agreement with you.

 Your Liability for Unauthorized Transfers

If you tell us within two (2) business days after you discover your On-Line Banking Password or other means to access your account has been misappropriated, lost or stolen, you can lose no more than $50.00 if someone uses your On-Line Banking Password or other means to access your account without your permission. If you do not tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of such misappropriation, loss or theft, and we can prove that we could have prevented the unauthorized use of your On-Line Banking password or other means to access your account if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.00. If your monthly statement contains transfers that you did not make, tell us at once. You agree to examine your statement with reasonable promptness. You agree that the time you have to examine your statement and report to us will depend on the circumstances, but will not, in any circumstance, exceed a total of 30 days from when the statement is first sent or made available to you. You further agree that if you fail to report any unauthorized signatures, alterations, forgeries, or any other errors in your account within 60 days of when we first send or make a statement available, you cannot assert a claim against us on any item in that statement. Refer to the Eagle Bank Account Deposit Agreement Terms and Conditions.

We will tell you the results of our investigation within ten (10) business days after we hear from you, and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to forty-five (45) days to investigate the complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will provisionally credit your account within ten (10) business days for the amount you think is in error, so that you may have use of the money during the time it takes us to complete our investigation. If we ask you to put your complaint in writing and we do not receive it within ten (10) business days, we may not provisionally credit your account.
