First National Bank in New Bremen

This Internet Banking Agreement and Disclosure ("the Agreement") explains the terms and conditions governing the basic internet banking services and bill pay services offered by FIRST NATIONAL BANK IN NEW BREMEN ("the Bank"). All internet banking services of any kind whatsoever offered or afforded by the Bank (including, but not limited to funds transfers, bill pay services, messenger, wire transfers, and ACH transactions) will be referred to collectively as "Internet Banking Services" in the Agreement. By using any of the Internet Banking Services, you agree to abide by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and authorize the Bank to use any of your accounts to execute and settle transactions and/or fees initiated by you using the Internet Banking Services. The term "Business day" means all days except Saturday, Sunday, and all banking holidays.

All Internet Banking Services are governed by this Agreement, all applicable federal regulatory disclosures, and the Deposit Account Terms and Conditions. All applicable fee schedules published by the Bank from time to time will apply to the Internet Banking Services. You are responsible for the payment of any fees incurred by you on any account, for any service, at any time. You agree to pay all such fees assessed by the Bank. Further, you agree to pay all telephone charges or fees incurred by you in accessing Internet Banking Services.

Your initial use of any Internet Banking Services in connection with your account at the Bank constitutes your acceptance and agreement to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and of the Deposit Account Terms and Conditions. Such initial use acknowledges your receipt and understanding of this Agreement and Deposit Account Terms and Conditions.

You agree that the Bank may, as permitted by law, provide all applicable disclosures to you electronically. You are responsible for downloading or printing the disclosures or providing the Bank with a non-electronic address to which the disclosures may be mailed.

Through Internet Banking Services, you can manage your bank accounts from your home or office on a personal computer. You must have Internet Banking Access ID, a password, and maintain one or more eligible accounts at the Bank. Internet Banking Services can be used to conduct any of the following transactions: Obtain balances and transaction histories on all eligible accounts enrolled in Internet Banking Services; Transfer money between eligible accounts (The number of transfers you can make from account is limited as described in the applicable account agreement. In addition, if a hold is placed on any funds deposited in an eligible account, you may not transfer the portion of funds being held until that hold expires); Transfer money to pay the Bank for overdraft protection, consumer loans, home equity loans, or certain other eligible loans; Receive email messages regarding certain activity in your loan or deposit accounts; and pay bills to any merchant, financial institution or an individual with a U.S. address.

We are strongly committed to protecting the security and confidentiality of our customer accounts information. We use several techniques to help secure our Internet Banking Service, including the following:

You can only access the Bank with certain browsers that have a high security standard.
Your account numbers are never displayed in full - only the last 3 digits can be viewed.
You must have a valid Internet Banking Access ID and password to logon.
If no action is taken for 20 minutes, you will be automatically logged off the Internet Banking service.
We identify your computer and let you identify the bank using a private image and pass phrase.

The Bank transmits data using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology that supports 128-bit key encryption. It is important to verify that a secure connection between your browser and the Internet Banking server has been established before transmitting any confidential account information over the Internet. An indicator on your web browser can verify this. Netscape Navigator has a key symbol that appears in the lower left corner of the screen. When the symbol appears "solid" transmitted data is being encrypted. When this symbol appears "broken", a secure session has not been established. Similarly, Microsoft Internet Explorer has a lock symbol that appears when data is being encrypted. When this symbol does not appear, a session is not secure.

Our Messenger Service allows you to receive electronic notifications about certain activity in your deposit or loan accounts. You may sign up for the Messenger Service through our internet banking services. However you are not required to do so. You may elect to receive messages related to your checking, savings, certificate of deposit, loan, or line of credit accounts. If you do sign up for the Messenger Service you acknowledge that the email messages you receive will not be encrypted and that they may include confidential information pertaining to your account. Messages are not intended to replace your account statements or any other communication we may provide you regarding your account(s). You understand and agree that receipt of each message may be delayed or prevented by factors affecting your internet service provider(s), phone operator(s), and such other entities.

Sending email is a very good way to communicate with the Bank regarding your accounts or the Internet Banking Services. However, your e-mail is actually sent via your own software and, as a result, is not necessarily secure. Because of this, you should avoid including confidential information, such as account numbers and balances in any e-mail to the Bank. You cannot use e-mail to initiate Internet Banking Service transactions. All such transactions must be initiated using the appropriate functions within the Internet Banking site. The Bank will not be liable for any errors, omissions, claims, or problems of any kind involving your e-mail.

Information that the Bank publishes on the World Wide Web may contain links to other sites and third parties may establish links to the Banks site. The Bank makes no representations about any other website that you may access to, from or through this site. Unless expressly stated in writing, the Bank does not endorse the products or services offered by any company or person linked to this site nor is the Bank responsible for any software or the content of any information published on the site of any third party. You should take precautions when downloading files from sites to protect your computer software and data from viruses and other destructive programs.

The Bank is not responsible for any electronic virus that you may encounter using the Internet Banking Service. We encourage you to routinely scan your computer and diskettes using reliable virus protection product to detect and remove viruses. If undetected and unrepaired, a virus can corrupt and destroy your programs, files and hardware.

You can usually access Internet Banking Services seven (7) days a week, twenty-four (24) hours a day. However, at certain times, some or all of Internet Banking Services may not be available due to system maintenance or reasons beyond the Banks control. The Bank does not warrant that Internet Banking Services will be available at all times.

Neither the Bank nor its suppliers will be liable for any transaction if: (i) you do not have enough money in your account to complete the transaction; (ii) a legal order prohibit withdrawals from your account; (iii) your account is closed or has been frozen; (iv) the transaction would cause your balance to go over the credit limit for any credit arrangement set up to cover overdrafts; (v) you, or anyone you allow, commits fraud or violates any law or regulation in connection with Internet Banking Services; (vi) any electronic terminal, telecommunication device or part of the electronic fund transfer system is not working properly; (vii) you did not provide us with complete and correct payment or transfer information; (viii) you did not properly follow the instructions for use of Internet Banking Services; (ix) you knew that Internet Banking Services were not operating properly at the time you initiated the transaction or payment; or (x) circumstances beyond our control (such as fire, flood or improper transmission or handling by a third party) that prevent, hinder or delay the transaction.

You may not appropriate any information or material that violates any copyright, trademark or other proprietary or intellectual property rights of any person or entity while using the Internet Banking Services. You may not gain, or attempt to gain, access to any Internet Banking Service server, network or data not specifically permitted to you by the Bank or its suppliers, and you must not include any obscene, libelous, scandalous or defamatory content in any communications with the Bank or its suppliers.

The Bank is entitled to act upon instructions received through any Internet Banking Service under your PASSWORD and without inquiring into the identity of the person using that PASSWORD.

For joint accounts, each person may have a separate PASSWORD, or each may use a joint PASSWORD. Each person on a joint account will be liable for all transactions that are made on that account. Each person on a joint account authorizes all transactions made by any other person on the account. Each person on a joint account agrees to be liable for the actions of the other person(s) on the account.

You hereby indemnify and release the Bank from any and all liability and agree not to make any claim against the Bank or bring any action against the Bank honoring or allowing any actions or transactions where you have authorized the person performing the action or transaction to use your account or when you have provided your PASSWORD to that person.
