Adams County Bank Online Banking Agreement & Disclosure

Definitions

This Agreement and Disclosure applies to your use of Adams County Bank’s Online Banking service which includes unless otherwise noted in this agreement, the Internet Banking portal and Mobile Banking Service (the “System”) which permits you to access your accounts with us via the Internet for services selected by you and agreed upon by us.  Throughout the website the Agreement & Disclosure will be referred to as “Agreement”.  By subscribing to or using Online Banking, you agree to all of the terms of the Agreement.  PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY AND KEEP A COPY FOR YOUR RECORDS.

This Agreement applies to all persons that are parties to the accounts.  When used in this Agreement the terms “you” and “your” refer to each depositor on the account(s) accessible by the System, and the terms “us,” “we,” and “our” refer to Adams County Bank.

Access 

The System is a service provided solely for use by our clients.  You will need an access ID and password to gain access to your accounts using the System. During enrollment you will create and confirm a password which you will use to gain access to the System, in conjunction with your assigned access ID.  You should protect your password at all times and change it on a regular basis.  You agree to keep the password safe and to not record, disclose or make the password available to anyone.  Anyone who has access to your password will have full access to your accounts and the services you can perform on the System.  You have no ability to limit any such person’s authority.  If anyone uses your password you will be responsible for any transactions performed by that person.

Your Password

For security purposes, you are required to change your password upon your initial login to the System.  You determine what password you will use; the identity of your password is not communicated to us.  You agree that we are authorized to act on instructions received under your password.  You accept responsibility for the confidentiality and security of your password and agree to change your password regularly.  Upon three (3) unsuccessful attempts to access the System, your access will be revoked.  To re-establish your authorization to use the System, you must contact us to have your failed login attempts cleared or to obtain a new temporary password.

Lost or Stolen Password

If you believe your password has been lost or stolen, or someone has transferred money or may transfer money from your account without your permission, you should notify us immediately.  Calling us at 402-752-3235 is the best way of minimizing your potential losses; however, you may write to us at the address provided under the Contact Information section of this Agreement.  You could lose all the money in your account (plus your maximum overdraft line of credit, if any).

The following rules established by Regulation E govern your liability unless the laws of the state governing your account impose lesser liability on you.  If you tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your password, you can lose no more than $50.00 if someone used your password without your permission.  If you do NOT tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your password, and we can prove we could have stopped the unauthorized transactions if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.00.  

Also, if your statement shows transfers that you did not make, including those made by use of your password or other means, and you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after the statement was made available to you, you may not get back any money you 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.

Security Information (Our Procedures) 

Our System utilizes a comprehensive security strategy to protect accounts and transactions conducted over the Internet.  In addition to our login security which incorporates multi-factor authentication (i.e. access IDs, passwords, plus pictures, questions, digital security keys or a personal identification number (“PIN”), we use secure socket layer (“SSL”) encryption technology for everything done in the System.    

Your browser automatically activates this technology when it attempts to connect to our System and it will support the 128-bit key lengths. Whenever SSL is securing your communications, the browser will typically indicate the “secure session” by changing the appearance of a small padlock icon at the bottom of the screen from open to locked.  Your communications are encrypted from your browser to our servers at all times, so no unauthorized party can read the information as it is carried over the Internet.  Additionally, our servers have been certified by a “Certificate Authority” to assure you that you are actually talking to our servers instead of someone pretending to be us.  

There is a 10-minute default time limit on any screen, regardless of the keystrokes that you use.  Under the default time limit, if 10 minutes elapse without you doing anything on the screen, you will be taken back to the login screen where you will be prompted to re-enter your access ID and password.  You will receive a warning message one minute prior to the time out. 

 Data transferred through the System is encrypted in an effort to provide transmission security.  The System utilizes identification technology to verify that the sender and receiver of System transmissions can be appropriately identified by each other.  

You agree that these procedures are a commercially reasonable method of providing security against unauthorized payment orders or other transactions and that these procedures are not for detection of errors.  We reserve the right to change any process from time to time to implement new measures that are recommended in the industry to respond to new or increased threats.  

Security Information (Your Obligations)

You understand the importance of your role in preventing misuse of your accounts through the System, and you:

  • Agree to promptly examine any statement you receive or that we make available to you for each of your accounts in a timely manner; 
  • Agree to protect the confidentiality of your account, and expressly assume responsibility for any transaction conducted by an Authorized User or any Losses that result from the actions (or inactions) of you or an Authorized User; 
  • Understand that certain identification information by itself or together with information related to your account may allow unauthorized access to your accounts; 
  • Acknowledge that, notwithstanding our efforts to ensure that the System is secure, the Internet is inherently insecure and that transmission of electronic mail occurs openly on the Internet and can potentially be monitored and read by others; 
  • Understand and acknowledge that we cannot and do not warrant that email transmitted to and from us, will not be monitored or read by others; 
  • Understand and agree that we are not responsible for any electronic virus or viruses that you may encounter; 
  • Agree to routinely scan your computers and diskettes using a reliable virus detection product to detect and remove any viruses, but understand and acknowledge that there are certain viruses, malware, etc., which may not be detectable by commercially available software and agree that the Bank shall have no liability for any such intrusions, except as otherwise set forth herein; 
  • Agree to install, maintain, update and utilize industry standard security products that are appropriate for you, including, without limitation, firewalls, anti-virus protection software, anti-spyware protection, operating systems and applications with the latest patches, and a browser product that indicates the web site you are on; and 
  • Agree to comply with the password requirements set forth herein, as such password requirements may be changed from time to time, and to employ reasonable steps in selecting, maintaining, and protecting passwords and other codes and access devices related to the System, the services and your accounts.      

Electronic Mail (E-mail)

If you send Adams County Bank an electronic mail message through the Service, Adams County Bank will be deemed to have received it on the following Business Day.  E-mails will be answered within a reasonable timeframe.

You should not rely on electronic mail if you need to communicate with Adams County Bank immediately (e.g., if you need to report an unauthorized transaction from one of your accounts, or if you need to stop a payment that is scheduled to occur).

You agree that Adams County Bank may respond to you by electronic mail with regard to any matter related to the Service, including responding to any claim of unauthorized electronic funds transfer that you make.  Any such electronic mail sent to you by Adams County Bank shall be considered received within three (3) days of the date sent by Adams County Bank, regardless of whether or not you sign on to the Service within that time frame.

Business Day Cut-Off

Adams County Bank’s business day is based on the Central Time Zone.  The System is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for purposes of electronic transactions, and our business days are Monday through Friday, excluding holidays as determined by us. Any transactions initiated on non-business days, or holidays will be processed the next business day. 

Internal Transfers:  Transfer request initiated through the System must be entered by 4:00 p.m. (CST) Monday through Friday to be processed on that day’s business.  If transactions are entered after 4:00 p.m. (CST) they will be posted on the next business day.  

External Transfers: Transfer request initiated through the System must be entered by 2:00 p.m. (CST) Monday through Friday to be processed on that day’s business.  If transactions are entered after 2:00 p.m. (CST) they will be posted on the next business day.  

Online Banking System Services

You can use the System to perform any of the following:

  • Account and Balance Inquiries
  • View & download account information
  • View images of paid items and deposit tickets
  • Elect to receive eStatements
  • View and print statements
  • Transfer Funds between accounts
  • Transfer Funds Person to Person
  • Initiate bill payments 
  • Place stop payment orders on checks
  • Communicate with us via e-mail

Mobile Banking

To become a mobile banking user, you first need to be an Online Banking customer.  Once you are logged in our online banking site you can activate mobile banking by completing the mobile banking registration process.  See the Mobile Deposit User Terms & Conditions for more information.

Accounts

You may request access to any account of which you are an authorized signer or owner.  If you desire services that allow you to initiate payments or transfers from an account, you will need the required withdrawal authority on the account to be able to complete the transactions.  By using this Service, you agree to maintain one or more accounts with us and to keep sufficient balances in any account to cover transactions and fees that are approved by or related to the System.  Collected funds must be available for distribution from your account as of the close of the business day prior to the transaction date.

Transfer Limitation

Under federal regulations, you may not make more than six (6) transfers and withdrawals, or a combination of such transfers and withdrawals, per calendar month from a money market deposit account that you maintain with us to another account you maintain with us or payable to a third-party by means of a preauthorized, automatic transfer, internet transfer, telephone order or instruction (including data transmission), check, draft, debit card, or similar order.  Each electronic fund transfer initiated through the System from your money market deposit account is counted as one of the six limited transfers you are permitted each month. There are no limits to the number of transfers or withdrawals made in person at the bank, by mail or by using an ATM.

You may schedule payments to be initiated on the current business day, on a future date, or on the same day of each month, subject to the restrictions on the Agreement.  Although you can enter payment information through Online Banking twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven days a week, except during maintenance periods, payments will only be initiated on the business days.  

Funds will be deducted from your account on the business day on which a payment is initiated for electronic payments or for payments made by check, when the check clears the account.  The date is referred to in the Agreement as the Transaction Date.  Payees generally will not receive the payment on the transaction date.  This applies regardless of whether the payment is a next-day payment, a future payment, or a recurring payment as described in the Agreement.  To provide sufficient time for payments to be received by your payees, the transaction date should be prior to the date your payment is due, excluding any applicable grace periods.  We recommend the transaction date be at least seven (7) business days prior to the date the payment is due.  It is helpful if you allow additional time for a payment to be completed the first time you send a payment to a new payee.  If you select the 29th, 30th, or 31st as the day of the month for processing a recurring payment and that day does not exist in the month of the calculated processing date, then the last calendar day of that month is used as the calculated processing date.  Also, by selecting the “Pay Before” or “Pay After” option, you determine if a recurring payment will be made the first business day before, or after, the originally scheduled processing date, if that should fall on a non-business day.  You may include all utility companies, merchants, financial institutions, insurance companies, individuals, etc. who you wish to pay through Bill Pay.  You may pay any payee within the United States, including U.S. territories and APO’s/AEO’s.  For each payee, you will need a complete address, telephone number and your account number.  We reserve the right to decline to make payments to certain persons and entities.  Recurring payments are those made for the same amount on a weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, etc. basis until the expiration date entered by you or when you stop or cancel the service.  

Other Limitations

Access to accounts through the System will be limited to inquiry only for the following account ownership types:  Guardianship, Conservatorship, Representative Payee, and Custodial.  Trusts accounts where the trustees do not have ownership of the account may also be limited to inquiry access only. 

You may not transfer funds from any account that requires more than one signature for withdrawals. You must be an owner or authorized signer on each account you wish to access.

The provisions of this “Joint Accounts” section apply if your accounts subject to the services with us are jointly owned. Each of you is jointly and severally obligated under the terms of this Agreement as well as the original Account Agreement(s) governing your joint accounts. Each of you acting alone may perform transactions, obtain information, terminate this Agreement or otherwise transact business, take actions, or perform under this Agreement. We are not required to obtain the consent of, or notify either of you of actions taken by the other. However, each of you will only be permitted to access accounts for which you are an owner or authorized user. Each of you individually releases us from any liability and agrees not to make any claim or bring any action against us for honoring or allowing any actions or transactions where the person performing the action or transaction is one of you or is otherwise authorized to use your Adams County Bank Internet Banking service, harmless from and against any and all liability including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney fee(s) arising from any such claims or actions.

Modifying or Cancelling a Pending Electronic Funds Transfer

Pending transfers can be cancelled or modified until the status changes to “In Process”.   Transfers cannot be cancelled or modified after cut-off time for the transfer date.

Confirmation of Preauthorized Electronic Fund Transfers (Deposits)

If you have arranged to have electronic deposits made to your account from the same payor at least once every sixty (60) days, you can find out if your deposit has been received through the System or by calling 402-752-3235.

Notice of Varying Preauthorized Electronic Fund Transfers (Withdrawals)

If your recurring electronic payments may vary in amount, the person or company you intend to pay should tell you, ten (10) days before each electronic payment, the date the payment will be made and how much it will be.  The person or company that you are paying may choose to give you the option 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.  You should contact the person or company you are paying with any questions about these notices

Stop Payment Orders

You may place stop payment orders on checks using the System.  When placing a stop payment order, you agree to indemnify us and hold us harmless for all losses incurred by us due to our refusal to pay the check.  You acknowledge that, under the law, there are some situations where a check can be enforced against you even though you ordered us to stop payment.  In such instances, we will not be liable to you for refusing to enforce your stop payment order.  We will not have a duty to stop payment until you have given us the number, the exact amount of the item and the name of the payee.  We must have had a reasonable opportunity to act on your stop payment order by receiving the order prior to the payment of the item by the bank.  The information we require you to submit in connection with your stop payment order must be exactly correct to enable our computer system to match the payment to be stopped to your stop payment order.

A stop payment order on a check is effective for six months unless you renew the notice in writing within that time, in which case the stop payment order will be effective for an additional six-month period.  At our option, we may continue stop payment orders beyond these time periods unless cancelled by you.  Stop payment orders received after regular banking hours or on a holiday shall be deemed received at the opening of business on the next business day.   

If we pay an item despite your timely stop payment order, the following rules will apply:  (a) you will have to prove to us that you have suffered a loss and, if so, the amount of the loss; (b) we will be able to enforce any rights that the original payee or any other person who held the check had against you; (c) we will not re-credit your account until you prove your loss and we are satisfied that we are required by law to do so; and (d) if we re-credit your account, you agree to sign a statement describing the dispute with the payee or other holder of the check, to transfer to us all of your rights against the payee or other holder of the check, and to assist us in legal action taken against that person.   A stop payment order will be released only upon written request from the account owner who authorized the stop payment order to be placed.

If you submit a stop payment request to us, we will charge your account the fee for such service specified on our current fee schedule, as amended from time to time.  

Overdrafts

When you schedule an electronic funds transfer using the System, 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 funds from your account is an order to us to make the payment from that account at that time or on a later date, if any, indicated in the instruction.  We may charge payments you instruct us to make to your account even though the charge creates an overdraft, or we may refuse to make the 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.  

Statements

Your System account activity will appear on the account statements we make available to you.  We will make available to you an account statement each month in which an electronic fund transfer is made to or from your account.  The payee’s name, payment amount, and date of the payment will be shown for each payment.  If there are no transfers in a particular month, you will receive your account statement at least quarterly.  

In Case of Errors or Questions About Your Electronic Transfers 

Telephone us at 402-752-3235, write us at PO Box 149, Kenesaw Ne 68956 or email us at adamscobank@adamscountybank.net  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 made available to you the FIRST statement available on which the problem or error appeared.

  1. Tell us your name and account number (if any).
  2. Describe the error or the transfer in question, and explain why you believe it is an error or why you need more information.
  3. The dollar amount of the suspected error.
  4. The date on which it occurred.

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 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 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.  For errors involving new accounts, point-of-sale, or foreign-initiated transactions, we may take up to 90 days to investigate your complaint or question.  For new accounts, we may take up to 20 business days to credit your account for the amount you think is in error.

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.

Limitation of Liability

We will be liable to you for damages proximately caused by our failure to make a properly requested electronic fund transfer, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in the correct amount or in a timely manner.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless required by law, we will not be liable to you if:

*The error results from any malfunctions of your browser, Internet service provider, computer, computer virus or other problems relating to the computer equipment you use with the Internet service, including, without limitation, your inability to access Internet service or any part of Internet service.

*Through no fault of ours, your account does not contain sufficient collected funds to make the transfer.

*The money in your account is subject to legal process or other encumbrances restricting the transfer.

*The transfer would go over the credit limit on your overdraft credit plan, if any.

*The transfer system was not working properly and you knew about the breakdown when you started the transfer.

*An act of God or circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood) prevent the transfer or use of Internet service despite reasonable precautions that we have taken.

*Incomplete or inaccurate information is forwarded to us by you or through an automated clearinghouse.

*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.

*You have not properly followed the instructions for using the Internet service.

*Your operating system is not properly installed or functioning properly.

If any of the circumstances listed above should occur, we will assist you with reasonable efforts in taking appropriate corrective actions to reprocess the transactions that may not have been completed or to correct any incorrect transactions that may have been processed.  Unless otherwise required by law, our sole responsibility for an error directly caused by us in transferring funds will be to correct the error.  In no case will we be liable for any indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages in connection with or in any way related to Internet service.

  • Pre-authorized Credits: You may make arrangements for certain deposits to be accepted into your checking, savings or money market account(s).
  • Pre-authorized Withdrawals:   You may make arrangements to pay certain recurring bills from your checking, savings or money market accounts.
  1. ATM Transfers: You may access your accounts(s) by ATM using your ATM card or VISA Debit Card along with your personal identification number (PIN) to:

Some of these services may not be available at all terminals.

  1. Point-Of-Sale-Transactions:  Using your VISA Debit Card.
  • You may access your checking account to purchase goods (in person, by phone, or by computer) pay for services in person, by phone, or by computer), get cash from a merchant, if the merchant permits, or from a participating financial institution, and do anything you can do with a credit card that a participating merchant will accept with a credit card.
  • The amount you may transact per day using your Card may not exceed $1,000.00 ($260.00 student cards) or up to your available balance.

Direct Deposits:  If you have arranged to have direct deposits made to your account at least once every 60 days from the same person or company, you can call us at the phone numbers listed below to find out whether or not the deposit has been made.  If the only possible transfers to or from your account are direct deposits, you will get a quarterly statement from us.

Periodic statements.  You will get a monthly account statement for all checking accounts.  You will get a monthly statement for your savings accounts unless there are no electronic transfers in a particular month.  In any case you will get the statement at least quarterly.

Preauthorized Credits.  If you have arranged to have direct deposit made to your account from the same person or company, you may call us at (402) 752-3235 to find out whether or not the deposit has been made.

 

STOP PAYMENT PROCEDURES AND NOTICE OF VARYING AMOUNTS

Right to Stop Payment and Procedures for Doing So:  If you have told us in advance to make regular payments out of your account, you can stop any of these payments.  Here’s how:  Call us or write us at one of the telephone numbers or addresses listed in this disclosure in time for us to receive your request 3 business days or more before the 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 $15.00 for each stop-payment order you give.

Notice of varying amounts:  If these regular payments may vary in amount, the person you are going to pay 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.)

Liability for failure to Stop Payment of Pre-authorized Transfer:  If you order us to stop one of these payments 3 business days or more before the transfer is scheduled, and we do not do so, we will be liable for your losses or damages.

 

OUR LIABILITY

Liability for Failure to Make Transfers:.If we do not complete a transfer to or from your 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.  We will not be liable, for instance:

  1. If, through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money in your account to make the transfer.
  2. If the automated teller machine where you are making the transfer does not have enough cash.
  3. If the terminal or system was not working properly and you knew about the breakdown when you started the transfer.
  4. If circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood) prevent the transfer, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken.
  5. There may be other exceptions stated in our agreement with you.

 

DISCLOSURE OF ACCOUNT INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES

We will disclose information to third parties about your account or the transfers you make:

  1. Where it is necessary for completing transfers;
  2. In order to verify the existence and condition of your account for a third-party, such as a credit bureau or merchant;
  3. In order to comply with government agency or court orders; or
  4. If you give us your written permission.

UNAUTHORIZED TRANSFERS

Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your card and/or code has been lost or stolen, or if you believe that an electronic fund transfer has been made without your permission using information from your check. Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. You could lose all the money in your account. If you tell us within 2 business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your card and/or code, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your card and/or code without your permission. 

If you do NOT tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your card and/or code, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your card and/or code without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500. 

Also, if your statement shows transfers that you did not make, including those made by card, code or other means, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within 60 days after the statement was mailed to you, you may not get back any money you lost after the 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. 

Contact in the event of unauthorized transfer: If you believe your card and/or code has been lost or stolen call or write us at the telephone numbers or addresses listed in this brochure.

You should also call the number or write to the address listed above if you believe a transfer has been made using the information from your check without your permission.

 

Special Rules for VISA – Point of Sale Transactions:

The liability limits described above are amended as follows for all Point-of-Sale transactions:

  1. Unless you have been grossly negligent or have engaged in fraud, you will not be liable for any unauthorized transactions using your lost or stolen VISA Check Card.  This additional limit on liability does not apply to ATM transactions, to transactions using your Personal Identification Number (PIN) which are not processed by VISA, or to commercial Cards.
  2. If you report a lost or stolen VISA Check Card we will investigate promptly and we will tell you the
    results of our investigation within five (5) business days.  If we need more time, however, we may take
    up to ninety (90) days to investigate your complaint or question.  If we decide to do this, we will recredit
    your account within five (5) business days 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.

 

ERROR RESOLUTION

In case of errors or questions about your electronic transfers, call or write us at the telephone numbers or addresses listed below, 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 the FIRST statement on which the problem or error appeared.

  1. Tell us your name and account number (if any).
  2. Describe the error on 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.

If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your complaint or question in writing within ten (10) business days.

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 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 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.  

For errors involving new accounts, point-of-sale, or foreign initiated transactions, we may take up to 90 days to investigate your complaint or question.  For new accounts, we may take up to 20 business days to credit your account for the amount you think is in error.

We will tell you the results within three (3) 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.

Eligible Items

You agree to scan and deposit only “checks” as that term is defined in Federal Reserve Regulation CC (“Reg CC”).  When the image of the check transmitted to us is converted to an Image Replacement Document for subsequent presentment and collection, it shall thereafter be deemed an “item” within the meaning of Articles 3 and 4 of the Uniform Commercial Code.  You agree that you will not scan and deposit any of the following types of checks or other items which shall be considered ineligible items:  

  • Checks payable to any person or entity other than the person or entity that owns the account that the check is being deposited into

Receipt of Items

We reserve the right to reject any item transmitted through the Services, at our discretion, without liability to you.  We are not responsible for items we do not receive or for images that are dropped during transmission.  An image of an item shall be deemed received when you receive a confirmation from us that we have received the image.  Receipt of such confirmation does not mean that the transmission was error free, complete or will be considered a deposit and credited to your account.  We further reserve the right to charge back to your account at any time; any item that we subsequently determine was not an eligible item.  You agree that the Bank is not liable for any loss, cost, or fees you may incur as a result of our chargeback of an ineligible item.

Business Day and Availability of Funds

You understand and agree that for purposes of deposits made using the Service the place of deposit is Adams County Bank, Kenesaw, Nebraska.

  • In general, if an image you transmit through the Service is received and accepted before 2:00 pm CST on a business day that we are open, we consider that day to be the day of your deposit.  Deposits made after 2:00 CST or on a day that we are not open will be processed the next business day we are open.  Our business days are Monday through Friday, except bank holidays.
  • Funds deposited through the Service may not be immediately available to you.  Funds deposited using the Service will generally be made available in three business days from the date of the deposit.  We may make such funds available sooner based on such factors as length and extent of your relationship, transaction and experience information, and such factors as the Bank, in its sole discretion, deems relevant.
  • Check holds or unavailability of the Service may cause further delays in availability of funds.  Checks deposited via the Service do not fall under the regulatory provisions of Regulation CC- Expedited Funds Availability Act.  As such, longer hold periods may apply to these deposited items.

Disposal of Transmitted Items

Upon your receipt of a confirmation from Adams County Bank that we have received an image that you have transmitted, you agree to retain the check for at least 30 calendar days from the date of the image transmission.  After 30 days, you agree to destroy the check that you transmitted as an image, mark it “Electronically Presented” or “Void”, or otherwise render it incapable of further transmission, deposit or presentment.  During the time the retained check is available, you agree to promptly provide it to us upon request.

Deposit Limits

We may establish limits on the dollar amount and/or number of items or deposits from time to time.  If you attempt to initiate a deposit in excess of these limits, we may reject your deposit.  If we permit you to make a deposit in excess of these limits, such deposit will still be subject to the terms of this Agreement, and we will not be obligated to allow such a deposit at other times.  The current daily dollar limit is $5,000.00 per business day.  The current daily check item count is 3 per business day.  We reserve the right to set lower or higher deposit limits at our sole discretion for each User on a case-by-case basis. 

Presentment

The manner in which the items are cleared, presented for payment, and collected shall be our sole discretion subject to the Terms and Conditions governing your account.

Errors

You agree to notify Adams County Bank at 402-752-3235 or write us at Adams County Bank, PO Box 149, Kenesaw NE 68956 for any suspected errors regarding items deposited through the Service right away, and in no event later than 60 days after the applicable bank account statement is sent.  Unless you notify us within 60 days, such statement regarding all deposits and through the Service shall be deemed correct, and you are prohibited from bringing a claim against us for such alleged error.

Errors in Transmission

By using the Service, you accept the risk that an item may be intercepted or misdirected during transmission.  We bear no liability to you or others for any such intercepted or misdirected items of information disclosed through such errors.

Image Quality

The image of an item transmitted to us using the Service must be eligible, as determined in the sole discretion of Adams County Bank.  Without limiting the foregoing, the image quality of the items must comply with the requirements established from time to time by us, ECCHO, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Board, or any other regulatory agency, clearinghouse or association.

You warrant to Adams County Bank that:

  • You will only transmit eligible items.

Termination

We may terminate this Agreement at any time and for any reason.  This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect unless and until it is terminated by us.  Without limiting the foregoing, this Agreement may be terminated if you breach any terms of this Agreement, if you use the Service for any unauthorized or illegal purposes or you use the Service in a manner inconsistent with the Terms and Conditions or any such other agreement with us.

Enforceability

We may waive enforcement of any provision of this Agreement.  No waiver if a breach of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any prior or subsequent breach of the Agreement.  Any such waiver shall not affect our rights with respect to any other transaction or to modify the terms of this Agreement.  In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of the Agreement shall not be impaired or otherwise affected and shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Ownership & License

You agree that the bank retains all ownership and proprietary rights in the Service, associated contact, technology, and website(s).  Your use of the Service is subject to and conditioned upon your complete compliance with this Agreement.  Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, any breach of this Agreement immediately terminates your right to use the Service.  Without limiting the restriction of the foregoing, you may not use the Service (i) in any purpose which would be contrary to the Bank’s business interest, or (ii) to the Bank’s actual or potential economic disadvantage in any aspect.  You may not copy, reproduce, distribute or create derivative works from the content and agree not to reverse engineer or reverse compile any of the technology used to provide the Service.
