REASONABLE PRECAUTIONS TO PREVENT UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO YOUR USER
ID AND PASSWORD. IF YOU BELIEVE THAT YOUR PASSWORD HAS BEEN STOLEN
OR COMPROMISED, YOU AGREE TO IMMEDIATELY NOTIFY BANK AT THE

passwords created by the Administrative Person assigned by the
Bank.
Account
Authorization
Any authorized representative of your business designated in the
current depository resolution and the Business Express Internet
Banking Authorization Agreement is authorized, subject to these
User Terms and Conditions as modified from time to time, to:
- Access each Internet Banking accessible account(s)
in any manner and for any purpose available through this
service, whether now available or available in the future;
and,
- Use any service in any manner and for any purpose
available through Internet Banking, whether now available or
available in the future.
Waiver
of Two Signature Requirement
The provisions of any other account or loan agreement with Bank
requiring two signatures on any check, draw request or other
instruction shall not apply to any Internet Banking transaction,
including any on-line bill payments. By initiating any on-line
transaction you specifically waive any requirement for signatures
or authorization from two or more authorized persons and release
Bank from liability for acting in accordance with the on-line
transaction. Any authorized person designated in the Business
Express Internet Banking Authorization Agreement shall have
authority to make Internet Banking transactions, including funds
transfers and on-line bill payments from your account, even though
that person’s authority to transfer or withdraw funds from your
account by some other means (e.g. by check) must be exercised
jointly with one or more other persons.
Funds
Transfers
You may transfer funds among any checking, savings, Money Market,
or loan accounts maintained by you with Bank or external accounts
which are accessible via Internet Banking.
Any
transfer you make from your Savings or Money Market Account will
count toward the six transfers or payments per statement period
permitted under the terms of your Account Agreement. Fees may
apply for transactions on Savings and Money Market Accounts.
More information on fees can be found in the account
disclosure. The Bank may also close your Savings or Money Market
Account in the event of excess transfers. A detailed explanation
of the limitations of transfers, withdrawals and payments from
this account can be found on your Account Agreement and Account
Disclosure.
A
transfer between internal Bank accounts or to an external,
non-First Community Bank account, that is completed before the
transfer cutoff time(s) on a business day will be posted from your
First Community Bank account(s) the same day. All transfers
completed after the transfer cutoff time on a business day or on a
day that is not a business day, will be posted the next business
day. The transfer cutoff time for internal transfers between First
Community Bank accounts is 7:00PM (Central Time). The transfer
cutoff time for funds transfers from a First Community Bank
account to an account at another financial institution is 6:00PM
(Central Time). Different cutoff times apply for wire transfers.
Provisions
applicable to all internal and external funds transfers:
- You agree that you will not initiate any funds
transfer request that would cause the account to balance to be
less than $0.
- You agree that Bank may act upon any funds
transfer request that Bank reasonably believes is initiated or
directed by an authorized person.
- Bank may reject any funds transfer request, which
exceeds the collected and available funds on deposit with Bank
in the applicable account. The Bank may, in its sole
discretion, permit an overdraft to complete a funds transfer,
and you agree to repay Bank immediately the amount of the
overdraft plus any applicable fee. Bank is not obligated,
however, to permit any further overdrafts or to give any
notice that further overdrafts will not be permitted,
regardless of how many overdrafts may have been permitted
previously.
- You have no right to cancel or modify a funds
transfer request after its receipt by Bank. Bank, in its sole
discretion, may make reasonable efforts to cancel or modify
the transaction if Bank has not yet acted upon the request.
- You acknowledge and agree that this Bank and any
intermediary bank may rely solely on the transfer information
provided by the Client, including bank identification numbers
and account numbers, that identifies an intermediary bank or
beneficiary bank in any funds transfer request, even if such
number identifies a bank different from the intermediary bank
or beneficiary bank identified by name in the external funds
transfer order, and you agree that neither this Bank nor any
intermediary bank shall have any duty to identify any
inconsistency in identification.
- YOU AGREE TO PROMPTLY NOTIFY BANK IN THE EVENT
THAT YOU HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE THAT ANY FUNDS TRANSFER TO ANY
EXTERNAL ACCOUNT WAS NOT COMPLETED OR RECEIVED.
Agreement
to Pay
You agree to pay First Community Bank, without defense or set off,
any and all loan advances obtained via Internet Banking by any
authorized person and to pay any other charges (including finance
charges, collection costs, or other amounts) due in accordance
with the applicable loan or credit agreement. You also are
responsible for repayment of any overdrafts that may be permitted
by Bank pursuant to any funds transfer or online payment made via
Internet Banking by any authorized person and to pay any
applicable Bank fees or charges.
Stop
Payment Requests
Stop payment orders may be transmitted by Internet Banking and
must be received by the Bank by such time that the Bank will have
a reasonable opportunity to act on it prior to the earlier of the
payment of the check, draft or other item (“check”) by the
Bank or the cutoff hour established by the Bank for receipt of
such orders, if any. Orders received after
7:00
pm
Monday – Friday or on Saturdays, Sundays, or federal holidays
may be considered received at the opening of business on the next
banking day. Stop payment requests received via Internet Banking
will be treated as a written stop payment order or confirmation.
THE BANK IS NOT BOUND BY A WRITTEN STOP PAYMENT ORDER AFTER 6
MONTHS FROM THE DATE OF A WRITTEN STOP PAYMENT ORDER OR
CONFIRMATION UNLESS THE ORDER IS RENEWED EITHER VIA INTERNET
BANKING OR BY SIGNING A STOP PAYMENT ORDER REQUEST FORM FOR
ANOTHER SIX MONTHS. Stopping payment on a check does not relieve
you or any other signer of the check from liability on the check
to a person who has taken the check for value, in good faith, and
without notice of any defense or claim that you or any other
signer of the check may have on the check.
By
initiating a stop payment order, you agree to pay the stop payment
fees identified in the Bank’s current fee schedule and authorize
the Bank to deduct the fees from any account that you maintain at
the Bank.
You
understand the need for absolute accuracy in describing the check
upon which stop payment is being requested. IF ANY INFORMATION
DESCRIBING THE CHECK IS NOT ACCURATE, THE BANK MAY NOT FIND THE
ITEM AND THEREFORE THE CHECK WILL NOT BE STOPPED. The Bank will
not be liable for failing to stop payment on a check or for
stopping payment on the check if the check is not accurately
described by you. The Bank is obligated only to exercise good
faith and ordinary care in complying with any stop payment order.
You
indemnify and hold harmless the Bank against any loss, cost,
expense, damage or liability (including reasonable attorneys’
fees) the Bank may sustain for stopping payment on any check
described in a stop payment order.
Tax
Transfers
All Electronic Funds Transfer (“EFT”) tax transfers will be
made in accordance with these User Terms and Conditions, as
modified in accordance herewith, the pre-approved Automated
Clearing House (“ACH”) Agreement on file with the Bank, and
the Operating Rules of the National Automated Clearing House
Association (“NACHA Rules”).
NOTE:
Approval from the IRS must be obtained prior to using this
service. Approval can be gained by completing form 9779 or
enrolling on-line at www.eftps.gov.
Any
interruption in the Internet Banking service for any reason beyond
our control will not relieve you of any obligation to pay any tax
to the IRS, or any other government agency or entity owed the tax,
and we will have no liability to you for any failure by you in
such circumstances to pay any tax.
Bill
Pay Service
First Community Bank uses a non-affiliated third party acting on
our behalf to process bill payments. This third party processor is
required to adhere to the Bank’s strict standards of security
and privacy protection. Paper checks processed by the
non-affiliated third party may show that they are drawn on the
third party processor rather than on First Community Bank.
We
will not be obligated to make a payment unless the designated
account has sufficient funds to pay the bill on the payment dates.
If the account is closed and there are pending payments, all
pending payments associated with that account will be cancelled.
Bank will not have any responsibility for such cancelled payments.
We
will not monitor the payments that are made through the bill
payment service. If a business account is used to pay bills and a
user pays bills which do not belong to the business, the business
assumes the entire risk of loss and indemnifies and holds the
Bank, Bank directors, officers, employees and agents harmless from
all loss, liability, claims, demands, judgments, and expenses
arising out of or in any way connected with such use.
There
will be a delay between the date the payment is sent (payment
date) and the date the payee receives that payment. Any payments
made through the bill pay service require sufficient time for your
payee to receive your payment and credit your account properly.
You will be solely responsible for scheduling payments
sufficiently in advance of the due date to avoid incurring finance
or late payment charges. Bill pay instructions delivered through
Internet Banking must be received prior to 6:00 p.m. CST on a
business day in order for payment to be issued on that business
day.
If,
following timely receipt of an accurate bill pay instruction, the
Bank does not properly complete a bill payment on time or in the
correct amount, we will pay any late fees or finance charges which
you reasonably incur as a result, provided that your account was
in good standing with the payee prior to the incident. We will not
be responsible for any finance charges, late fees or other costs
imposed or any other action taken by a payee resulting from a
payment that you have not timely or accurately scheduled. You
agree to notify the Bank promptly if you receive a notice or
otherwise have reason to believe that any bill payment made by you
through Internet Banking was not completed or remains unpaid.
To
delete or modify a scheduled bill payment, you must use the
“delete payment” option clearly marked on the Internet Banking
website. INSTRUCTIONS TO DELETE OR MODIFY A BILL PAYMENT MUST BE
RECEIVED BY BANK AT LEAST ONE BUSINESS DAY PRIOR TO THE SCHEDULED
PAYMENT DATE TO BE EFFECTIVE.
We
will not be liable if there are insufficient available funds or
credit availability in the checking account at the time of any
scheduled payment; if a legal order directs us to prohibit
withdrawals from the account; if the account is closed or frozen;
or if any part of the electronic funds transfer system outside of
our control is not working properly. We will not be liable in any
event for indirect, special, or consequential damages arising out
of the use of the bill payment service.
Liability
Our liability to you is as stated in these User Terms and
Conditions and as further explained in any agreements, notices,
and disclosures that we separately provide to you from time to
time regarding your deposit and/or loan account(s). Under no
circumstances will we have any liability to you for failing at any
time to provide access to your accounts through this service.
Except as otherwise required by applicable law, the Bank’s
responsibility and liabilities in providing Internet Banking
services shall be as expressly stated in these User Terms and
Conditions, as modified in accordance herewith.
BANK,
ITS AFFILIATES, SERVICE PROVIDERS AND AGENTS WILL INCUR NO
LIABILITY FOR LATE OR UNSUCCESSFUL BILL PAYMENT ATTEMPTS,
TRANSACTIONS OR TRANSFER ATTEMPTS: IF THE DESIGNATED ACCOUNT HAS
INSUFFICIENT FUNDS; IF THE MONEY IN THE ACCOUNT IS SUBJECT TO
LEGAL PROCESS OR OTHER ENCUMBRANCES RESTRICTING ITS TRANSFER; IF
INCOMPLETE OR INACCURATE INFORMATION IS FORWARDED TO BANK BY THE
UNITED STATES TREASURY OR THROUGH AN AUTOMATED CLEARING HOUSE; IF
THE USER ID OR PASSWORD HAS BEEN REPORTED AS LOST OR STOLEN; IF
THE INTERNET BANKING SERVICE OR BANK WEBSITE IS MALFUNCTIONING AND
YOU HAVE BEEN SO ADVISED; IF YOU HAVE FAILED TO PROVIDE PROPER
PAYEE INFORMATION, FAILED TO PROPERLY FOLLOW BILL PAYMENT
INSTRUCTIONS, THE PAYEE OR TRANSFER RECIPIENT MISHANDLES OR DELAYS
A PAYMENT OR TRANSFER; IF BANK HAS REASONABLE GROUNDS TO BELIEVE
THAT SUCH TRANSFER OR BILL PAYMENT IS UNAUTHORIZED; IF YOUR
COMPUTER EQUIPMENT, SOFTWARE OR INTERNET CONNECTION OR INTERNET
SERVICE PROVIDER WAS MALFUNCTIONING AT THE TIME SUCH TRANSFER OR
BILL PAYMENT ATTEMPT WAS MADE, OR FOR ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND
BANK’S CONTROL, INCLUDING ANY NATURAL DISASTERS, DELAYS IN MAIL
SERVICE, OR OTHER FORCE MAJEURE EVENTS.
IN
NO EVENT WILL BANK OR ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS OR OTHER AGENTS BE
LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR INDIRECT LOSSES
OR DAMAGES, WHETHER OR NOT ANY CLAIM FOR SUCH DAMAGES IS BASED ON
TORT OR CONTRACT OR WHETHER WE OR THEY KNEW OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN
THE LIKELIHOOD OF SUCH DAMAGES IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
We
will not be obligated to honor, in whole or in part, any
transaction or instruction which:
- Is not in accordance with any term or condition
applicable to the relevant account;
- We reasonably believe may have been requested or
issued without proper authority;
- Involves funds subject to a hold, dispute,
restriction or legal process which we believe prevents
withdrawal;

limitation, regulations of the Office of Foreign Asset Control
(OFAC)
- Would violate any applicable provision of any risk
control program of the FDIC or applicable rule or regulation
of any other federal or state regulatory authority;

our applicable polices, procedures or practices; or,
- We reasonably decline to honor for your or our
protection.
Indemnification
Except to the extent that we are liable under these User Terms and
Conditions or an agreement that otherwise governs your deposit
and/or loan account(s), you agree to indemnify and hold First
Community Bank, its affiliates, directors, officers, employees and
agents harmless from all loss, liability, claims, demands,
judgments and expenses arising out of or in any way connected with
an account or the performance of the Internet Banking service.
This indemnification is provided without regard to whether our
claim for indemnification is due to the use of Internet Banking by
you or your authorized representative.
Changes
Except where prior notice or authorization is required by law, we
may change these User Terms and Conditions at any time. When
changes are made we will update the information on the Bank’s
Internet Banking Website. You may decline to accept the changes by
discontinuing use of the Internet Banking service. Continued use
of the Internet Banking service following posting of any changes
shall constitute acceptance of those changes. Changes to Bank’s
schedule of fees and charges for Internet Banking services shall
be effective thirty (30) days after posting.
Termination
Either you or the Bank may terminate these arrangements at any
time by giving written notice to the other. Termination shall be

These User Terms and Conditions and use of the Internet Banking
services is governed by applicable Wisconsin and federal laws and
regulations, except to the extent that these User Terms and
Conditions can and do vary such laws. To the extent that any of
the User Terms and Conditions cannot be legally enforced, they
shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to conform to
