The
Bank of Spring Valley
eBank Agreement and Disclosures
Note: You must read this agreement and click on the
the "I Agree" or "I Disagree" button below.
1. Coverage. This Agreement applies to your use
of The Bank of Spring Valley Internet Banking Service ("eBank"),
which permits you to access your accounts with us via the Internet
for services selected by you and agreed upon by us. This Agreement
applies to all persons that are parties to the accounts. In this
Agreement, the terms "you" and "your" refer to each depositor
on an account accessible by Internet Service, and the terms "us,"
"we," and "our" refer to the Bank.
2. Application Forms. To establish eBank Internet
Banking Service you will complete an application form evidencing
your desire to access your accounts using eBank. Your signature
on the Application Form constitutes your agreement to the terms
of this Agreement.
3. Your Responsibility. You are responsible for
selecting all systems, hardware and your Internet Service provider
and for any defect, malfunction or interruption in service or
security due to hardware failure, your choice of Internet Service
provider and systems and computer services.
4. Security. We require the use of 128-bit secure
browser with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to login to your account
and perform transactions. Most modern browsers use SSL technology,
however if you are using an older version of software, it would
be wise to upgrade. You then know you have the best security protection
available.
There are several ways to know if your browser is secure.
- A small window
may pop up to tell you that this is a secure link and do you
want to continue.
- Instead of the
usual http:// you will notice that it has changed to https://.
The "s" denotes secure mode.
- Most secure browsers
also have a small graphic, such as a padlock or key, that will
appear in the bottom right hand corner of the screen, indicating
a secure connection.
5. Access Codes.
After your application is approved, you will be assigned an initial
user code and password ("PIN"), which you will be required to change
after your initial log in. The PIN has the same effect as your signature
authorizing transactions. Your PIN needs to be 7-12 characters in
length, of which one character must be numeric, and one alpha. Try to avoid using common words
or sequence of numbers. You agree to safely keep the PIN, not to
record the PIN or otherwise disclose or make the PIN available to
anyone other than authorized users of your accounts. Anyone to whom
you disclose your PIN and anyone who has access to your PIN will
have full access to the services you can perform on eBank Internet
Service, including full access to your accounts. You have no ability
to limit any such person's authority. If anyone uses your PIN with
your permission, you will be responsible for any transactions performed
by that person. It is recommended that you change your PIN often.
When entering user and PIN information you may be presented with
a question to have Windows remember your password information. Always
click on NO to refuse this. Never save access code information.
Make sure that no one is physically watching as you enter your codes.
Please use the "Log Off" feature when you finish using eBank or
when you are going to be away from your computer. eBank will automatically
"log off" after a period of inactivity.
6. Customer Liability. Tell us at once if you believe
your PIN has been lost, stolen or otherwise become available to
an unauthorized person. 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). If you tell us within
two business days, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used
your PIN without your permission. If you do NOT tell us within two
business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your PIN,
and we can prove that we could have stopped someone from using your
PIN without your permission, 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 of the date we
mail a periodic statement to you, you may not get any money you
lost after the 60 days if we show that we could have stopped someone
from taking the money if you would have 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.
7. Contact in Event of Unauthorized Transfer. If you
believe your PIN has been lost or stolen or that someone has transferred
or may transfer money from your account without your permission,
call 715-778-5537 or write to Bank of Spring Valley, S320 McKay Ave, PO Box 159,
Spring Valley WI 54767.
8. Business Days. Our business days are Monday through
Friday, excluding holidays as determined by The Bank of Spring Valley.
We can process a fund transfer on the same business day as your
instructions, if we receive your instructions before our eBank
Internet Service cut-off hour of 3:00 p.m. on a business day. If
we receive your instruction after the end of our business day, we
will process the transaction on our next business day. If you schedule
a fund transfer for a future date, we will process the transaction
after the close of business on that date, if that day is a business
day. If the date you request for a future transfer or payment is
not a business day, we will process the transaction on the business
day immediately preceding the date you have requested. If you schedule
a recurring funds transfer and the payment date does not exist in
a month, the payment will be processed on the last business day
of that month.
9. Functions. Using your PIN and the eBank Internet
Service you can perform all of the functions described below:
- view account
information
- transfer funds
among your deposit accounts
- make payments
out of deposit accounts to your loan accounts
Subject to available
funds, you may transfer funds through the eBank Internet Service
in any amount.
10. Cancelling Funds Transfers.
a. Cancelling an
Order. You may cancel or change a pending funds transfer by
selecting and accurately completing the appropriate fields from
the payment menu. Any instruction to cancel or change a transfer
must be received prior to 3:00 p.m. on the business day the transaction
is to be processed. Except for preauthorized transfers, described
below, if we don't receive your complete and accurate instruction
identifying a funds transfer prior to that time, we may process
the transaction.
b. Preauthorized Transfers. If you tell us in advance to
make a regular payment at a regular time out of your account without
further action by you (a preauthorized transfer), you can stop
these payments either by following the procedure in the preceding
paragraph, or you can call us at 715-778-5537 or write us at Bank
of Spring Valley, S320 McKay Ave, PO Box 159, Spring Valley WI 54767, or email
us at info@bankofspringvalley.com
in time for us to receive your request three business days or
more before the payment is scheduled to be made. If you call or
email, we may also require you to put your request in writing
in a form approved by us and get the form to us within 14 days
after you call or email. We will require that you tell us the
exact amount of the debit, the next date the debit is to be made
and the exact name of the payee. If you stop payment of such a
preauthorized transfer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
your stop payment will apply only to the debit you stopped and
not to subsequent debits to that payee, unless you specifically
instruct us to cancel all of such debits to that payee.
c. Liability for Failure to Stop a Preauthorized Transfer.
If you order us to stop a preauthorized transfer three business
days or more before the transfer is scheduled, and the stop payment
order is made according to the terms and conditions of the account
and this Agreement, including the requirement that you give us
the exact amount of the debit, the next date of the debit and
the exact name of the payee, and we do not do so, we will be liable
for your losses or damages proximately caused by our failure.
d. Charges For Stopping Payment. If you submit an oral
or written stop payment request for a preauthorized payment, we
will charge you for each such stop payment order, the charge for
stopping payment identified in our current fee schedule accompanying
this Agreement as may be amended from time to time. If you cancel
or change any pending funds transfer by completing the appropriate
fields from the payment menu, there will be no charge.
11. Overdrafts.
When you schedule a funds transfer using the eBank Internet Service,
you authorize us to withdraw the necessary funds from your account
with us. We deduct the amount of your funds transfer from your account
on the date we process your instruction. Each instruction to us
to withdraw or transfer from an account is an order to us to pay
from that account at that time or on a later date, if any, indicated
in the instruction. We may charge payments against the account even
though the charge creates an overdraft, or we may refuse to make
payments if the charge creates an overdraft. If you overdraw your
account, you agree to immediately pay us the overdrawn amount, together
with any applicable fees. If the account is maintained in connection
with an overdraft credit plan, any overdraft will be made in accordance
with the agreement or rules governing that account rather than this
Agreement.
12. Limitations on Transfers. Under federal regulations,
you may make no more than six preauthorized electronic fund transfers
and telephone transfers, including eBank Internet Service transactions,
checks and point-of-sale transactions per month from your savings
or money market deposit account. Of these six transactions, you
are limited to no more than three transactions per month by check,
draft, debit card or similar order to third parties. Each fund transfer
through eBank Internet Service from your savings or money market
deposit account is counted as one of the six limited transfers you
are permitted each month. (However, payments to your loan accounts
with us are not counted toward this limit for savings and money
market deposit accounts.)
13. Fees. Currently we do not charge for eBank Internet
Service. However, we may amend our current fee schedule and Deposit
Account Rules from time to time.
14. Periodic Statements. Your eBank Internet Service
account activity will appear on your periodic account statement.
If there are no transfers in a particular month, you will receive
statements at least quarterly.
15. Our Liability For Failure to Make Transfers. If
you have given us all of the proper and timely instructions and
have properly completed all fields to complete a transfer or bill
payment, and we do not complete a transfer to or from your account
on time or in the correct amount according to our agreement with
you, subject to the limitations contained in this Agreement, we
will be liable for your losses or damages proximately caused by
our failure. However, there are some exceptions. We will not be
liable, for instance:
- If, through no
fault of ours, your account does not contain sufficient collected
funds to make the transfer.
- If the money
in your account is subject to legal process or other encumbrances
restricting the transfer.
- If the transfer
would go over the credit limit on your overdraft credit plan,
if any.
- If a transfer
system was not working properly and you knew about the breakdown
when you started the transfer.
- If an act of
God or circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood)
prevent the transfer or use of eBank Internet Service despite
reasonable precautions that we have taken.
- If incomplete
or inaccurate information is forwarded to us by you or through
an automated clearinghouse.
- If you have not
provided us with complete and correct payment information, including
without limitation the name, address, account number and payment
amount for the payee on a bill payment.
- If you have not
properly followed the instructions for using the eBank Internet
Service.
- If your operating
system is not properly installed or functioning properly.
- For errors or
failures from any malfunctions of your browser, internet service
provider, computer, computer virus or other problems relating
to the computer equipment you use with the eBank Internet Service,
including, without limitation, your inability to access eBank
or any part of eBank Internet Service.
- For a failure
to provide access or for interruptions in access to the eBank
Internet Service due to eBank Internet Service system failure.
- NOTWITHSTANDING
ANY OTHER PROVISION IN THIS AGREEMENT, UNLESS OTHERWISE PROHIBITED
BY LAW, OUR SOLE RESPONSIBILITY FOR AN ERROR BY US OR OUR THIRD
PARTY PROVIDER IN TRANSFERRING FUNDS WILL BE TO CORRECT THE
ERROR [AND PAY ANY PENALTIES AND ASSOCIATED LATE CHARGES TO
THE PAYEE], BUT IN NO CASE WILL THE BANK BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT,
SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES IN CONNECTION WITH
OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO eBank INTERNET SERVICE.
16. Account Information
Disclosure. We may disclose information we collect, to companies
that perform marketing services on our behalf or to other financial
institutions with whom we have joint marketing agreements. For example,
your credit card or our alternative investment program in order
to service your account. We do not disclose any non-public information
about you to anyone, except as permitted or required by law or to
service your account. For example in response to government entities
and subpoenas, or to effect, administer or enforce a transaction
requested or authorized by you. We restrict access to your personal
and account information to those employees who need to know that
information to provide products or services to you. We maintain
physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with
Federal standards to guard your non-public personal information.
We shred all personally identifiable documentation.
17. Termination. We may modify, suspend or terminate
your privilege of using eBank Internet Service and may withhold
approval of any transaction, at any time, without prior notice to
you. In the event we terminate eBank Internet Service, we will
try to notify you in advance but are not required to do so. You
will be notified as soon as practicable. Any one person who can
use the account accessible with eBank Internet Service may terminate
this service. Termination shall not affect the rights and obligations
of the parties for transactions made with the eBank Internet Service
before we have had a reasonable time to respond to your termination
request. Termination of your eBank Internet Service will automatically
terminate any pending transfers.
18. Third Parties. You understand that support and
services relating to eBank Internet Service are provided by third
parties other than us, and you authorize us to contract with third
parties to provide such support and service.
19. Amendment. We may amend this Agreement at any
time. Notice will be sent to you at your current address in our
files. Amendments will be effective upon the date indicated in the
notice.
20. General. This Agreement is intended to supplement
and not to replace other agreements between you and us relating
to your accounts, including, without limitation, our Deposit Account
Rules. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and any
other account rules and agreements that apply to your accounts,
this Agreement shall govern and prevail.
In
Case of Errors or Questions About Your Electronic Transfers
Telephone us at 715-778-5537 or write us at Bank of Spring Valley, S320 McKay Ave,
PO Box 159, Spring Valley, WI 54767,
as soon as you can, if you think your statement
or receipt is wrong or if you need more information about a transfer
listed on the statement or receipt. We must hear from you no later
than 60 days after we sent you the FIRST statement on which the
problem or error appeared.
- Tell us your
name and account number (if any).
- 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.
- Tell us the dollar amount of the suspected error.
0L>
If you tell us orally,
we may require that you send us your complaint or question in writing
within 10 business days.
We will determine whether an error occurred within 10 business days
(5 business days if involving a Visa transaction or 20 business
days if the transfer involved a new account) after we hear from
you and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however,
we may take up to 45 days (90 days if the transfer involved a new
account, a point-of-sale transaction, or a foreign-initiated transfer)
to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this,
we will credit your account within 10 business days (5 business
days if involving a Visa transaction or 20 business days if the
transfer involved a new account) for the amount you think is in
error, so that you will have the use of the money during the time
it takes us to complete our investigation. If we ask you to put
your complaint or question in writing and we do not receive it within
10 business days, we may not credit your account. An account is
considered a new account for 30 days after the first deposit is
made, if you are a new customer. We will tell you the results within
three business days after completing our investigation. If we decide
that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation.
You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation.
