Bill Pay Agreement
OUR
LIABILITY FOR FAILURE TO COMPLETE TRANSACTIONS
We will process and complete all transfers properly initiated
through the Service in accordance with the terms of this agreement.
If we do not complete a transfer to or from your Account on time
or in the correct amount under the terms of this Agreement, we
could be liable for your losses and damages. However, we will
not be liable if for instance:
a. Through no fault of ours, you
do not have enough money in your Account to make the transfer.
b. Your telephone or internet connection
or the Service is not working properly and you knew about the
malfunction when you started the transfer.
c. You have not provided us with
the correct Payee name, address, or account information or payment
amount.
d. A Payee mishandles or delays
in handling payments sent by us.
e. Circumstances beyond our control
(such as fire, flood, or delay in the U.S. Mail) prevent the proper
completion of the transaction despite reasonable precautions by
us to avoid these circumstances.
YOUR LIABILITY FOR UNAUTHORIZED TRANSFERS
You agree not to give Service account access to any unauthorized
individuals. If you believe that someone may attempt to use the
Service without your consent or has transferred money without
your permission, you must call us immediately at 1-800-822-0316
or write us at Habersham Bank Customer Service, P. O. Box 1980,
Cornelia, GA 30531. Quickly telephoning us is the best way of
reducing your possible losses.
If your statement shows transfers covered by this agreement that
you did not make or authorize, 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 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 hospital stay) kept
you from telling us, we will extend the time periods.
If we complete a transfer that you make or authorize and we subsequently
learn that you have insufficient funds for the transaction, you
agree that we may reverse the transaction or offset the shortage
with funds from any account you have with us. In any case, you
are fully obligated to us to provide sufficient funds for any
transfers you make or authorize.
BUSINESS ACCOUNTS
The limitations on customer liability set forth in the preceding
paragraphs do not apply to accounts held by businesses. Business
customers agree to review promptly all statements, notices and
transaction information made available to them, and to report
all unauthorized transactions and errors to us immediately. Business
customers agree that we may process payment and transfer instructions,
which are submitted with a correct customer identification number,
and agree that such instructions will be deemed effective as if
made by them, even if they are not transmitted or authorized by
the customer.
JOINT ACCOUNTS
If any of the accounts from which you use Habersham Bank's Internet
Banking is joint, each of you is jointly and severally obligated
under this Agreement. Each owner will have a unique access ID
and password and acting alone may perform transactions, obtain
information, terminate this Agreement, allow one or more persons
to access qualifying accounts if you provide them with your access
ID and password. 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 access, actions or transactions
where the person performing the access, action or transaction
is one of you or is otherwise authorized to access the account.
Each of you agrees to indemnify us and hold harmless from and
against any and all liability (including but not limited to reasonable
attorney fees) arising from any such claims or actions.
PAYMENT GUARANTEE
Subject to the foregoing limitations on our liability, we will
reimburse you for any late payment fees or penalties you are charged,
up to the maximum of $50 per scheduled payment, as a result of
the failure of a Business Payee to receive a payment made through
the Service by the Due Date if you meet each of the following
conditions:
a. You must properly schedule the
payment to be initiated on a Transaction Date at least five (5)
business days prior to the Due Date. For Same Day Payments, this
means that you must initiate your payment before 2:00 p.m. Eastern
Time on a business day at least five (5) business days prior to
the Due Date.
b. You must provide us with the
correct Payee name, address, and account information and with
the correct payment amount.
c. On the Transaction Date, your
Account must contain sufficient funds, excluding overdraft protection,
to complete the payment or transfer.
d. The Payee must be a Business
Payee.
e. The late payment fee or penalty,
or the method of its calculation, must be published by the Payee
prior to the Due Date.
