You acknowledge that access to this Banking Service and the availability of services hereunder is at all times conditioned upon the availability of the computer services, software and system used to communicate your instructions and Bank's responses. BANK WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE INCURRED OR SUFFERED BY YOU AS A RESULT, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OF ANY FAILURE, INTERRUPTION, SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION OF SUCH SERVICES OR SYSTEM FOR WHATEVER REASON, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF THE SERVICE OWNER OR ANY THIRD PARTY.
Astra Bank’s business days are Monday through Friday. Weekends and Federal holidays are not included. The bank may be open on Saturdays or certain federal holidays; however, online transactions will not be processed until the next business day.
You may use this Banking Service anytime, day or night, seven (7) days a week with your Astra Bank NetTeller ID and Password to satisfy the system's security procedures. From time to time, access to this Banking Service may be temporarily unavailable due to the Bank's record updating, performing regular maintenance or experiencing technical difficulties. We will attempt to provide notification in advance of any possible interruption of service.
The following functions may be performed when using this Banking Service:
You authorize the Bank to charge your account(s) and facilitate the requests you initiate using this Banking Service for bill payments and/or transfers, including the amount for any recurring bill payment or transfer, plus any service charges for this Banking Service. Before any bill payment and/or transfer requests are processed, sufficient available funds must be in the account(s) from which the funds are to be debited.
With respect to savings accounts and money market accounts, Regulation D allows you no more than six transfers or withdrawals per month unless these transfers/withdrawals are made in person by entering an Astra Bank office or through the use of an ATM machine. This transfer/withdrawal limitation does not apply to NOW accounts. Of the six allowable transfers, no more than three may be made to a third party (any entity other than another one of your accounts held in your name and ownership at this Bank). Should you exceed the permitted number of transfers/withdrawals on an account, the Bank will be required to close the account, impose a fee, and/or change the account to a demand deposit account. All transfers and debits of any kind will count toward the limits for fee purposes as defined in our Common Features Limits and Fees brochure.
The circumstances, under which we will disclose information about you or your accounts, have been separately disclosed to you in our Privacy Policy and in other disclosures, which have been provided directly to you. Our Privacy Policy may change from time to time and is always available on-line and at our banking office locations.
You understand that all User IDs, Passwords and any other security codes (collectively, the “Codes”) provided to you by the Bank in connection with this Banking Service are confidential and should not be disclosed to third parties. You will be asked to change your Password the first time you access this Banking Service. You are responsible for the safekeeping of your Codes, and agree not to disclose or otherwise make your Codes available to anyone not authorized to sign on your accounts. If the confidentiality of your Codes is compromised, you shall notify us immediately. If you furnish your Astra Bank NetTeller Codes to another person and grant authority to that person to make bill payments who then exceeds that authority, you are liable for all subsequent bill payments and/or transfers until we have been notified that bill payments and/or transfers by that person are no longer authorized. You agree that these security procedures are commercially reasonable and are designed to authenticate your transactions. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH HERE IN THIS AGREEMENT, BANK WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS SUFFERED BY CLIENT AS A RESULT, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OF ANY UNAUTHORIZED PERSON GAINING ACCESS TO OR OTHERWISE MAKING USE OF THE SERVICE, EXCEPT AS MAY BE PROVIDED BY REGULATIONS.
Bill payments may be initiated in two different transaction modes – One-Time and Recurring. In order to pay bills, you must establish your payees. Payees may either receive payments via an electronic transmission or a check drawn on your account. Electronic payments will typically be received by the payee within two (2) business days, and will be deducted from your account on the date you specify. Check or paper payments will typically be received by the payee within five (5) business days, and will be deducted from your account at the time the check is presented to the Bank, if funds are available in the funding account.
You understand that if a bill payment request describes the beneficiary inconsistently by name and account number, execution of the request will occur on the basis of the account number, even if it identifies a person other than the named beneficiary. You must allow sufficient time for the payee to receive the bill payment before the due date the payee provides you, excluding grace periods. If you do not allow sufficient time for a bill payment, you assume full responsibility for all late fees, finance charges and any other actions initiated by the payee against you. If a check or paper bill payment is not received by a payee for any reason, with your authorization, the Bank will place a stop payment on the check and the Bank’s normal stop payment fees will be assessed. In all instances, it is your responsibility to reschedule the bill payment.
For bill payment transactions to be processed on the same business day you are requesting the payment, this request for payment must be sent to the Bank through this Banking Service no later than 12:00 p.m. Central Standard Time. One-time bill payments scheduled to be processed on the same day may be canceled up until 12:00 p.m. Central Standard Time. One-time bill payments scheduled for a future date and recurring bill payments will be processed on the "effective date" or the prior business day if the “effective date” is a weekend or holiday. One-time bill payments scheduled for a future date and recurring bill payments may be changed or canceled until 2 a.m. Central Standard Time of the day of the “effective date.” If the “effective date” falls on a weekend or holiday, then the future dated or recurring bill payment must be changed or canceled before 2 a.m. Central Standard Time of the business day before the weekend or holiday.
If an electronic payment transaction is not processed because there are not sufficient funds in the funding account, we are not responsible for the failure of this transaction. You will receive a message within your Astra Bank NetTeller service advising you that the bill payment transaction could not be processed. In the instance the bill payment is not processed due to insufficient available funds, the service will continue to retry processing the payment until funds are available. If there are insufficient available funds in you account at the time a bill payment check is presented for payment, the check will be returned to the payee and the Bank's normal insufficient funds fee will be assessed.
The Bank is responsible only for exercising reasonable and ordinary care in making bill payments upon your authorization and for sending or mailing a bill payment to the designated payee based on the circumstances as outlined.
THE BANK IS NOT LIABLE IN ANY WAY FOR DAMAGES YOU INCUR IF:
Transfers may be scheduled using Astra Bank NetTeller service between accounts at the Bank which have been made accessible via this Banking Service. Transfer(s) scheduled before 9:00 p.m. Central Standard Time will be reflected in your account and available for your use at the time the transfer is initiated and will post to your account the same day. Transfers scheduled after 9:00 p.m. Central Standard Time will also be reflected in your account and available for your use at the time the transfer is initiated but may post to your account the next business day.
One-time transfers scheduled for a future date and recurring transfers will be automatically credited to your account by the opening of business on the "effective date" or the next business day, if the “effective date” is a weekend or holiday. One-time transfers scheduled for a future date and recurring transfers may be changed or canceled until 9 p.m. Central Standard Time of the day prior to the “effective date.”
THE BANK IS NOT LIABLE IN ANY WAY FOR DAMAGES YOU INCUR IF:
You authorize the Bank to charge your funding account(s) or any other deposit account(s) owned by you at this Bank for any transactions accomplished through the use of this Banking Service, including the amount of any bill payment or transfer that you make, and any charges for the service. You understand that in adding a payee or maintaining a payee list, even if no payments are scheduled, you are electing to use the full Astra Bank NetTeller service with the PowerPay bill payment feature and therefore will be charged accordingly. You authorize the Bank to process bill payments and to transfer funds according to the instructions the Bank receives if the instructions are received by the Bank through this Banking Service. You authorize the Bank to initiate any reversing entry or correcting entry and to debit your accounts at Astra Bank or elsewhere, in order to correct any mistaken entry.
You understand that if a bill payment or transfer request describes the beneficiary inconsistently by name and account number, execution of the request will occur on the basis of the account number, even if it identifies a person other than the named beneficiary. Further, Astra Bank and other financial institutions or merchants to which a bill payment or transfer request is forwarded may rely on any identification number supplied by you as a means to identify any other financial institution or merchant, even if the identification number is other than that of the financial institution or merchant named by you. Your obligation to pay the amount of the bill payment and/or transfer to Astra Bank is not excused in such circumstances.
You will be charged a monthly service fee for use of Astra Bank PowerPay as soon as you register the first payee under the bill payment feature even if no payments are scheduled or made. The amount of the fee is set forth in Schedule "A" - Service Charges. The Bank will automatically deduct the service fee from your checking account on the last day of the month your Banking Service bill payment feature was activated and each month thereafter as long as a payee is registered, unless we agree upon a different date. We will continue to charge your account monthly on the last day of the month (or the next business day if the due date falls on a weekend or holiday), until the bill payment feature is discontinued. Should you discontinue Astra Bank PowerPay bill payment feature, you will be charged for a full month in the month which you discontinued the feature.
You will notify the Bank immediately if you believe your User ID, Password and any other security codes (collectively, the “Codes”) have become known to an unauthorized person, or have been lost or stolen. The best way to keep your possible losses to a minimum is to telephone or e-mail the bank (See Section "N"). If you suggest that an unauthorized bill payment or transfer may have occurred, we may require you to sign an affidavit concerning the details. Your liability for unauthorized use is limited by Regulation "E" (which implements the Electronic Fund Transfer Act) and Regulation "Z" (which implements the Truth in Lending Act) which provide:
However, you do agree to indemnify us against any losses we sustain related to this Banking Service and not prohibited by Government Regulations.
If you believe your Codes have become known by an unauthorized person or has been lost or stolen, or that someone has made bill payments or transferred money without your permission, you will immediately call Astra Bank at (785) 335-2243.
To the extent not prohibited by Government Regulations, you agree to indemnify us against any losses we sustain as it relates to this Banking Service.
If the Bank does not send a bill payment or make a transfer on time, or in the correct amount, according to your instructions given in accordance with this Agreement, the Bank's liability will not exceed the amount of the total fees you paid to Bank under Schedule "A" for the services provided under this Agreement in the six (6) month period preceding the date which the claim first accrued. However, there are some exceptions.
We will not be liable, for instance, if:
WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ACTUAL DAMAGES CAUSED BY OUR GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR FRAUD, AND EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SPECIFICALLY STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT, OUR SOLE LIABILITY TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY LOSS, DAMAGE, OR INJURY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO CLAIMS FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT OR NEGLIGENCE) SHALL NOT EXCEED AND SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE TOTAL FEES WHICH YOU PAID TO BANK UNDER SCHEDULE "A" - SERVICE CHARGES, FOR THE SERVICES PROVIDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IN THE SIX (6) MONTH PERIOD PRECEDING THE DATE WHICH THE CLAIM FIRST ACCRUED. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE BANK BE LIABLE FOR LOSS OF GOODWILL, LOST PROFITS, OR FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES NOT SPECIFIED ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF BANK SHALL BE AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE BANK MAKES NO WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE ENCRYPTION OR SECURITY OF INFORMATION TRANSFERRED VIA THE INTERNET, AND THE BANK SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY WHATSOEVER FOR THE BREACH OF ANY SUCH SECURITY EXCEPT AS MAY BE PROVIDED BY REGULATIONS.
There may be other exceptions stated in the Bank's agreements with you, and our liability may be further limited as stated in these agreements. If any of the circumstances listed in subparagraph "3" or "4" shall occur, the Bank, without assuming liability, will assist you with reasonable efforts in taking appropriate corrective action to reprocess the transactions that may not have been completed or to correct transactions that have been incorrectly processed.
