Fax: (785) 271-6623
By signing an application and enrollment form (the "Application") to subscribe to certain personal computer banking and related services offered by Community
Bank as described in this Service Agreement and Disclosure Statement (this "Agreement") and as otherwise made available by Community Bank from time to time
(collectively, "Online Banking Service" or "Service"), or by your initial access to Community Bank's Online Banking Service, and in consideration of our allowing you access to the Service, you agree to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Each reference in this Agreement to the "Bank", "Community Bank", "we", "us", or "our" refers to Community Bank, a Kansas corporation, and each reference to "you" and "your" refers to each depositor, borrower, authorized signer, or authorized user for an account (as defined below) who is now or hereafter enrolled in any one or more of our Online Banking Services with respect to the account. Each time you use the Service constitutes confirmation by you of your agreement to, and understanding of, the terms of this Agreement and any screens that appear on your computer when you sign on to our website. This Agreement will be effective as of the date of our acceptance as evidenced by our issuance of a User ID and PASSWORD to you as provided in Section 4. Please read this Agreement carefully and keep it for future reference.
BROWSER SECURITY. Our Online Banking Service 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 Online 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.
LINKS. Links to non-Community Bank websites contained in this site are offered only as pointers to sources of information on subjects that may be of interest
to users of our website, and Community Bank is not responsible for the content of such sites as we have no control over what is displayed there. Community Bank does not guarantee the authenticity of documents at such sites, and links to non-Community Bank sites do not imply any endorsement of or responsibility for the ideas, opinions, information, products, or services offered at such sites. Use of links to any non-Community Bank site is solely at the user's own risk.
1. Hardware and Software Requirements. You will be able to access our Online Banking Service through our website and the Online Banking Software (the
"Software") hosted by our Online Banking Service Provider (the "Service Provider"). The Service Provider will act as an interface between you and the Bank. To be able to use our Online Banking Service, you must provide your own personal computer (a "PC") with a modem and related equipment (the "Hardware"). You also must provide the type of telephone service and Online access service required by the Hardware and the Software. You are and will remain solely responsible for the purchase, hook-up, installation, loading, operation and maintenance of the Hardware, telephone service, and the Online access service to your PC, and for all related costs.
2. Virus Protection. Community Bank is not responsible for any electronic virus or viruses that you may encounter. We encourage our customers to routinely scan their PC and diskettes using a reliable virus product to detect and remove any viruses. Undetected or unrepaired viruses may corrupt and destroy your programs, files and even your hardware. Additionally, you may unintentionally transmit the virus to other computers. You are solely responsible for scanning the Hardware and the Software for computer viruses and other related problems before you use them.
3. The Accounts and Services. You agree to use our Online Banking Service solely for the services described in this Agreement and designated by you in the
Application or subsequently designated by you as provided in Section 6, and solely in connection with each deposit account (collectively, the "Deposit Accounts") and each loan account (collectively, the "Loan Accounts") held by the Bank and designated by you in the Application or subsequently designated by you (collectively, the "Accounts"), except as otherwise expressly permitted by us from time to time. You may add or delete any account for which you are a depositor, borrower, authorized signer, or authorized user, and you may add or delete Online Banking Services selected by submitting a Change Request on our "Online Banking Application and Enrollment Form".
4. PASSWORD; Confidentiality of PASSWORD. All Online Banking Service transactions or inquiries must be initiated by use of your User ID and password (the "PASSWORD"). We will assign you a User ID and PASSWORD after we have accepted your Application. UPON YOUR RECEIPT OF YOUR USER ID AND INITIAL PASSWORD, YOU HEREBY AGREE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD TO A CONFIDENTIAL ONE OF YOUR CHOOSING. To change your PASSWORD, select administration, Change PASSWORD, and then enter and submit the required information. You may change your PASSWORD from time to time following this procedure. It is recommended that you do not use your social security number, birthdays, names, or other codes that may be easy for others to determine as your PASSWORD. No Bank employee will ever ask for your PASSWORD, nor should you provide it to anyone unless you intend to allow that person access to your Accounts. YOU AGREE TO KEEP YOUR PASSWORD CONFIDENTIAL. USE OF THE PASSWORD BY YOU OR BY ANY OTHER PERSON WITH YOUR AUTHORIZATION WILL BE CONSIDERED THE SAME AS YOUR WRITTEN SIGNATURE AUTHORIZING US TO COMPLETE ANY TRANSACTION OR REQUEST COMMUNICATED THROUGH OUR ONLINE BANKING SERVICE. You agree that any Online Banking Service transaction or request initiated by use of the PASSWORD will be subject to and governed by this Agreement.
If you authorize another person to use your PASSWORD, that person can use the Online Banking Service to view any information or initiate any transaction on
any of the Accounts to the same extent as you, including viewing information or initiating transactions on Accounts to which that person does not otherwise have
access. As such, your sharing of your PASSWORD is strongly discouraged by the Bank, and done at your sole risk and peril. If a third party should gain access to your PASSWORD, you alone are responsible for changing the PASSWORD so as to deny the third party's access to your banking information. Given the electronic
nature of these transactions, the Bank shall have no liability to you in the event a third party should gain access to your PASSWORD through no fault of the
Bank.
Both consumer and commercial account Online Banking Service users have the option of adding secondary users to any account. As the primary account holder
or signer, you are responsible for adding, deleting and granting rights to a secondary user. This allows you, the account holder, control of the functions that a secondary user has access. CB will not be responsible for adding, deleting or editing any secondary user. As the primary account holder or signer, you are responsible for any transactions completed by any secondary user.
Never leave your computer unattended while accessing the Online Banking Service. If you should, a third party may be able to access your Accounts from your terminal, without ever needing to use your PASSWORD. You should always exit the Online Banking Service completely after you finish viewing your Accounts or conducting other transactions. To completely exit the Software, you must select the "Log Off" option, which will bring you back to the home page of our website. Failure to do so will have the same effect as leaving your computer unattended while still logged on to the Service.
5. Business Days. Business days for the Bank and for our Online Banking Service are Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. You may access the Accounts through our Online Banking Service 24 hours a day, seven days a week, except that Community Bank and its Service Provider may perform regular maintenance on systems and equipment, which may result in errors or interrupted service. We may also find it necessary to occasionally change the scope of our services. Community Bank cannot guarantee that we will be able to provide notice of such interruptions and changes, although we will attempt to provide such notice when warranted.
6. Online Banking Service. You may use our Online Banking Service to perform any of the following services on your Accounts, as designated by you in the
Application or subsequently added by you:
- To transfer funds between any Deposit Accounts, such as checking, savings or money market deposit accounts;
- Request loan payments by transferring funds from any of your Deposit Accounts to any of your Loan Accounts;
- To receive and download balance and transaction information for your Accounts;
- To pay bills electronically from a Deposit Account that is a checking account with unlimited check-writing privileges;
- To reorder checks of the same style and containing the same information as your previous order;
- To request Stop Payments on checks; and
- To transmit e-mail to the Bank.
Subject to all other terms disclosed in this Agreement and in the Software, and subject to certain exceptions provided for therein, the following daily cut-off
times shall apply for transactions to be processed on the same business day:
Type of Transaction Cut-Off Time
Transfers between Deposit Accounts 6:00 p.m. C.S.T.
Transfers to make Loan Payments 6:00 p.m. C.S.T.
Bill payments 3:00 p.m. C.S.T.
Stop payments 6:00 p.m. C.S.T.
ACH Originations 3:30 p.m. C.S.T.
Mobile Check Deposit 5:00 p.m. C.S.T.
These services are available as described in this Agreement and provided for in the Software. As used in this Agreement, the term "electronic fund transfer" has
the meaning provided for that term in Regulation E and includes, without limitation, a bank transfer or bill payment (other than a bill payment made by check or other paper item), as these terms are defined below.
7. Transfers to and from Accounts.
- Deposit Accounts. You may use our Online Banking Service to initiate electronic fund transfers from one Deposit Account that is a checking, savings or money market deposit account to any other Deposit Account that is a checking, savings or money market deposit account, as provided in this Agreement. These types of transactions are referred to in this Agreement as "bank transfers".
- Loan Accounts. You may instruct us to transfer funds from your Deposit Accounts to make payments on your Loan Accounts.
- Authorization. You expressly authorize us to debit the appropriate Deposit Account in the amount of any bank transfer initiated through our Online Banking Service by you or by any other person who is authorized to use your PASSWORD. You agree that we may treat any such bank transfer from a Deposit Account the same as a duly executed written withdrawal, transfer, or check and that we may treat any such bank transfer to a Deposit Account the same as a deposit, all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and your deposit agreement(s) with us.
- Limitations. Your ability to initiate bank transfers between Deposit Accounts may be limited by federal law or by the terms of your deposit agreement with us. Bank transfers from Deposit Accounts that are savings or money market deposit accounts are limited as required by federal regulation. You agree that we may, without notice or other obligation to you, refuse to make any bank transfer for security reasons or as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or your deposit agreement with us.
- Time of bank transfers; posting; funds availability. Generally, if you initiate a bank transfer of available funds between Deposit Accounts on or before 6:00 p.m. Central Standard Time (C.S.T.) on a business day, the bank transfer will be posted on the same business day. Bank transfers initiated after 6:00 p.m. C.S.T. on a business day or on weekends and holidays will be posted on the next business day. Bank transfers to make payments to Loan Accounts must be initiated by 6:00 p.m. C.S.T. on a business day in order to be processed on the same business day. Transferred funds will be available for withdrawal on the same business day that the bank transfer is posted by the Bank.
8. Account Information. You may use our Online Banking Service to receive, download, store and print information that is routinely set forth in the statements for the Account, such as debits and credits made to the Account, amounts and item numbers for items drawn on the Account, and Account balances. Updated Account balances and transaction information will normally be available by 8:00 a.m. C.S.T. Account information and current balances provided via our Online Banking Service will be current as of the end of the preceding business day. Available balances may reflect bank transfers or other transactions made since the end of the preceding business day, and are subject to further adjustment and correction. Because the information made available to you is "raw data" furnished through the Service Provider and is subject to change, we cannot assure you of the accuracy or completeness of the information and expressly disclaim the same. You will still receive your usual periodic statement of account ("Bank Statement") for each checking, savings, and money market deposit account maintained with the Bank. Your Bank Statement remains the bank's official record of your account balances and activity.
9. Bill Payment Service.
- Payment Accounts. If you have enrolled in the optional bill payment service, you may use our Online Banking Service to initiate payments from any Deposit Account that is a checking account with unlimited check-writing privileges (a "Payment Account") to pay obligations owed to certain third parties in the United States (the "Payees"). These types of transactions are referred to in this Agreement as "bill payments".
- Payee Information. You may set up and maintain Payee information on the Online Banking Software and initiate payments to them at your discretion. Payees may be selected from the Pay Someone New box within the Online Banking Software or entered manually by you if the payee is not found. Once added, your Payee(s) will remain on the Software to facilitate future bill payments. You may edit or delete Payees as needed. Each individual bill payment must be initiated by you. It is critical that accurate Account Number information be entered for each Payee that you add. You may enter your name in the Account Number Field in addition to your Account Number for that Payee. If you do not have an account number with a particular Payee, you should enter your name in the account number field so that the Payee will know that the payment was made on your behalf.
- Payment method. Payments to Select Merchants are made electronically through the Automated Clearing House system. Payments to all other vendors are made by check mailed to the address input by you into the system; therefore, it is critical that accurate Name and Address information be entered and maintained by you.
- Authorization. You agree that we may treat any bill payment that was initiated through our Online Banking Service by you or by any other person who is authorized to use your PASSWORD the same as your duly executed written payment order or check, all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and your deposit agreement with us.
- Time of bill payments. The Online Banking Software calls for a payment date (the "Payment Date") to be entered by you for each bill payment. The Payment Date is the date that the Bank will initiate the processing of the payment and debit your designated Deposit Account. Bill payments with a current Payment Date must be initiated by 3:00 p.m. C.S.T. on a business day in order to be processed the same day. Otherwise, the actual Payment Date will be the next business day. Bill payments may be entered with a future Payment Date. If the Payment Date entered is not a business day, the Delivery Date will be deemed to be the business day following the date entered.
- Returned or rejected bill payments. If a bill payment is returned or rejected, whether by the Bank, the Service Provider or any third party (including, without limitation, an intermediary bank or the Payee's bank), we will notify you and you will be solely responsible for re-initiating the bill payment. You agree to furnish to the Bank such information as it may request to resolve any error or inquiry arising out of your initiation of any bill payment.
- Stop Payment Requests. Electronic payments can take up to two (2) business days to reach the destination for payees who can accept electronic payments and up to five (5) business days following the scheduled due date if the payee is paid by paper draft check. The ability to process a stop payment request will depend on the payment method used to make the payment and the elapsed time since the payment was processed. You will be charged a Stop Payment Fee of $25.00 for each Stop Payment request.
A Stop Payment order may be issued on a PAPER DRAFT CHECK drawn from your funding account, provided the draft check has not cleared your account. You may request a stop payment in person, by phone, or via “Other Services” within Online Banking. If you make your request to a Community Bank representative by phone or within Online Banking, you may then be asked to confirm the request in writing within fourteen (14) days. A written stop payment order is effective for six (6) months only, and will expire automatically at that time unless specifically renewed by you in writing.
You may edit or cancel a preauthorized Electronic bill payment at any time before the payment is in process without additional cost.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Payment CANNOT be stopped on an ELECTRONIC PAYMENT (EFT/ACH) once it has gone into process in Bill Pay Manager. Attempting to “Stop” an Electronic payment after the payment has been processed could result in your Bill Pay Manager account being suspended and/or blocked, pending payments being cancelled, and the possible assessment of additional fees.

We are not responsible for any items we do not receive or for images that are dropped during transmission.

Funds will generally be available the next business day after the day of deposit. However, we may delay the availability of these funds for a longer period under certain circumstances.
- Check Retention and Disposal. After you have received deposit confirmation from us that your deposit has been accepted and approved, and you have verified the funds have properly credited your account, you agree to prominently mark the item as "Electronically Presented" or "VOID" to ensure that it is not re-deposited. You further agree to securely store each original check that you deposit using Mobile Check Deposit for a period of ninety (90) days after transmission to us in order to verify settlement and credit or to balance periodic statements. After this period, you will destroy the original item. You understand and agree that you are responsible for any loss caused by your failure to secure the original checks. You agree to never re-deposit a check. During the retention period, you will promptly provide any retained check, or a sufficient copy of front and back of the check, to us as requested to aid in the clearing and collection process, to resolve claims by third parties with respect to any check, or for our audit purposes. If you are unable to provide a sufficient copy of the front and back of the check, you will be liable for any unresolved claims by third parties.

The Deposit Account statements or other notices provided to you by us will notify you of (a) the execution of bank transfers or bill payments and the debits and/or credits to the Deposit Accounts made with respect to such bank transfers and bill payments, and (b) amounts debited by the Bank from your Accounts for payment of the services or other charges pursuant to this Agreement. You agree that we will not be required to provide any other notice to you of the execution of bank transfers, bill payments, or debits. You agree to promptly examine each statement for a Deposit Account and to promptly report any discrepancies between your records and the Deposit Account statements or any other notices mailed by the Bank to you, as provided in Section 19.
16. Settlement of Obligations. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you authorize us to obtain payment of your obligations to us under this Agreement from time to time by (a) initiating debits to any of the Accounts or (b) deducting the payment from the amount of any bank transfer or bill payment. Such obligations include, without limitation, fees owed to us and settlement for bank transfers or bill payments initiated through our Online Banking Service. At the time any account is closed (whether by you, by us, or otherwise) or any Online Banking Service is terminated (whether by you, by us, or otherwise), you agree that all such obligations will be immediately due and payable to us, and you authorize us to withhold the amount of any such obligations from any Account. Debiting an Account or deducting payment from the amount of any bank transfer or bill payment is not the Bank's exclusive remedy under this or any other section of this Agreement, and the Bank will not be deemed to have made an election of remedies by making any such debit or deduction on any one or more
occasions.
17. Bank's Liability for Failure to Make or Stop Certain Electronic Fund Transfers. If we do not complete an electronic fund transfer to or from a Deposit Account in a reasonable amount of time or in the correct amount according to our agreement with you, we will only be liable for your direct losses or actual
damages, except in the following instances:
- If, through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money in the Deposit Account to make the transfer.
- If you have not completely and properly followed the terms of this Agreement or instructions provided by the Software regarding how to make the transfer.
- If any data or instruction transmitted via our Online Banking Service are inaccurate or incomplete.
- If you do not initiate the transfer according to the time limits set forth in this Agreement.
- If the transfer has been made from the Deposit Account to a third party.
- If the Hardware, the Software, the Service Provider, or any part of our Online Banking Service system, including the bill payment service, was not working properly and you knew about the breakdown when you started your electronic fund transfer.
- If circumstances beyond our control, such as a natural disaster, failure, delay, or error on the part of any third-party service provider (including, without limitation, the Service Provider, the United States Postal Service or any other delivery service), power outage, difficulty with telephone or cable lines or satellite communications, difficulty with any Hardware, the Software, or the Service Provider, computer virus or related problem, or cessation of the operation of the Service Provider or the arrangement between the Bank and the Service Provider, prevent or delay the electronic fund transfer, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken.
- If your funds are being held or frozen or are subject to legal proceedings.
- If the funds in the Deposit Account are unavailable (funds are only conditionally credited until they become available for withdrawal).
- If your PASSWORD has been reported lost or stolen or if we have any other reason to believe that the transfer may be erroneous or unauthorized.
- If you, any joint holder, or an authorized cosigner on a Deposit Account has requested that we stop payment of the transfer.
- If you have exceeded the limitations on the number of withdrawals or transfers allowed during the statement period for the type of Deposit Account you have with us (e.g., certain types of savings and money market deposit accounts).
- If the Deposit Account has been closed.
- If we do not receive the necessary transfer information from you or any third party, or if such information is incomplete or erroneous when received by us.
- There may be other exceptions stated in this or any other applicable agreement that we may have with you.
18. Limits on Bank's Liability. Our liability for electronic fund transfers made to or from Deposit Accounts is also governed by Sections 17 and 19 of this Agreement. If any provision herein is inconsistent with any provision of Section 17 or Section 19 or any provision of applicable law that cannot be varied or
waived by agreement, the provisions of those Sections or applicable law shall control. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that we will have no liability whatsoever for any loss, damage, or claim arising out of any delay or failure in the performance of any Community Bank Online Banking Service in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including but not limited to, that resulting from our negligence. Our duties and responsibilities to you are strictly limited to those described in this Agreement, except with respect to any provisions of the law applying to electronic fund transfers that cannot be varied or waived by agreement. In no event will the Bank be liable for any consequential, special, or punitive damages or for any indirect loss that you may incur or suffer in connection with the service (even if the Bank has been informed of the possibility of such damages), including, without limitation, attorneys fees. The Service Provider is an independent contractor and not the Bank's agent. The Bank's sole duty shall be to exercise reasonable care in the initial selection of the Service Provider. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS OR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, IS MADE BY THE BANK WITH RESPECT TO ANY COMMUNITY BANK ONLINE BANKING SERVICE OR THE SOFTWARE, AND THE BANK HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL SUCH WARRANTIES. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Bank shall not be liable at any time to you or any other person for any loss, charge, fee, penalty, expense or other damage resulting from any failure or delay of the performance of the bank's responsibilities under this Agreement which is caused or occasioned by any act or thing beyond the Bank's reasonable control, including, without limitation, legal restraint, interruption of transmission or communication facilities, equipment failure, electrical or computer failure, war, emergency conditions, natural disasters, fire, storm, or other catastrophe, or inability to obtain or delay in obtaining wire services or internet access, or refusal or
delay by the Service Provider or another bank or financial institution to execute any bank transfer or bill payment. In addition, the Bank shall be excused from any failure or delay in executing a bank transfer or bill payment, if such execution would result in the violation of any applicable state or federal law, rule, regulation or guideline. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that the Bank shall not have any liability whatsoever for any loss caused by the act, error, or omission of you or any other person, including, without limitation, the Service provider, any internet access service provider, any Federal Reserve Bank or transmission or communications facility or any intermediary or receiving financial institution, and no such person shall be deemed the Bank's agent.
19. Your Liability for Unauthorized or Erroneous Transfers. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to be responsible for all unauthorized or erroneous transactions initiated through our Online Banking Service. You have the obligation to immediately notify the Bank if your PASSWORD has been lost or stolen, or if someone has transferred funds from your account through our Online Banking Service without your permission (or is contemplating to do so). The following provisions of this Section apply only to your liability for unauthorized electronic fund transfers. An "unauthorized electronic fund transfer" means an electronic fund transfer from a Deposit Account that is initiated by another person without your authority to initiate the electronic fund transfer(s) and from which you receive no benefit. The term does not include any Community Bank Online Banking Service electronic fund transfer that is initiated by a person to whom you furnished your PASSWORD, unless you have notified us that electronic fund transfers by that person are no longer authorized and we have had reasonable opportunity to act on that notification. We may require that the notice be in writing. You could lose all the money in your Deposit Account, some or all of the money in any linked account, or up to your maximum overdraft line of credit (if applicable), if you fail or refuse to immediately advise the Bank of the unauthorized use of your PASSWORD. If your statement shows electronic fund transfers that you did not make, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within sixty (60) calendar days after we mailed to you the FIRST statement on which the problem or error appeared, you shall not be entitled to assert a claim against the Bank, nor be entitled to any damages from the Bank, as to said unauthorized transfers. This sixty (60) day limitation is without regard as to the standard of care exercised by the Bank. If you believe your PASSWORD has been lost or stolen or that someone has transferred or may transfer money from a Deposit Account without your permission, call: (785) 440-4400.

20. Rejection of Payment Orders; Overdrafts. You acknowledge that the Bank or the Service Provider may from time to time, in its sole discretion, reject any
bank transfer or bill payment request (any "payment order") or return any bank transfer or bill payment (a) if there are insufficient or unavailable funds in the Deposit Account or the Deposit Account has been closed or is frozen, (b) if the payment order does not conform to the terms of this Agreement or the Software, or (c) if the payment order appears to be a duplicate, but neither the Bank nor the Service Provider is under any obligation to recognize that a payment is a duplicate and you should not rely on the Bank or the Service Provider to do so. If a payment order is rejected or a bank transfer or bill payment is returned, either the Bank or the Service Provider will notify you and you will have the sole obligation to remake the payment order in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Software. The Bank or the Service Provider may from time to time, in its sole discretion and without any obligation to do so, execute any payment order or make any bank transfer or bill payment even though an overdraft to the account results. To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that neither the Bank nor the Service Provider will have any liability whatsoever for refusing to accept any payment order or rejecting or returning any bank transfer or bill payment. If an overdraft occurs in a Deposit Account, you agree to cause sufficient available funds to pay the amount of the overdraft to be deposited into or credited to the Deposit Account before the end of that business day. Any overdraft existing at the close of a business day is immediately due and payable without notice or demand.
21. Disclosure of Deposit Account Information to Third Parties. You agree that we may from time to time, under the following circumstances, disclose to third parties information about your Deposit Account or the transactions that you make through our Online Banking Service:
- Where it is necessary for completing bank transfers or bill payments or providing any other service in connection with our Online Banking Service; or
- In order to verify the existence and condition of your Deposit Account for a third party, such as a credit bureau or merchant; or
- In order to comply with government agency or court orders; or
- If you give us your written permission.
22. Other Agreements; Severability; Governing Law. The terms and conditions of this Agreement are cumulative with and in addition to any terms of the signature cards or account agreements for your Deposit Account(s), the applicable account disclosures, the Fee Schedule, the Schedule of Funds Availability, the Bank's Electronic Fund Transfer Agreement and Disclosure Statement, the agreements governing the Loan Accounts, and the Application, all as may be amended from time to time. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the content of the Software or any related materials regarding the Bank's obligations to you, the terms of this Agreement will control. If any provision of this Agreement is unlawful or unenforceable, each such provision or writing will be without force and effect without thereby affecting any other provision hereof. No consumer protection provision of the federal Electronic Fund Transfer Act or Federal Reserve Board Regulation E is intended to be waived by you under this Agreement unless the waiver is permitted by law. The parties agree to be bound by the operating rules and guidelines of the Automated Clearing House Association and the applicable local automated clearing house association as in effect from time to time with respect to all automated clearing house transfers made hereunder. This Agreement will be governed by the substantive laws of the United States, applicable federal regulations, and to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the laws of the State of Kansas.
23. Amendments. We may amend this Agreement from time to time. Each amendment will be effected by our mailing or otherwise delivering the amendment, revised agreement and/or notice thereof to you in accordance with applicable federal and state laws. If no federal or state law specifically governs the amendment, the amendment shall be effected by mailing or otherwise delivering it to you or posting it on our website or in our full-service branch offices at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the effective date of the amendment. Notwithstanding the foregoing and to the extent permitted by applicable law, we may change any term of this Agreement without prior notice or obligation to you: (a) if the Software or the Service Provider changes any term without providing us sufficient notice to enable us to properly notify you; (b) for security reasons; (c) to comply with applicable law; or (d) as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.
24. Termination. You agree that we may cancel or restrict your use of our Online Banking Service or any component thereof at any time upon such notice (including e-mail) as is reasonable under the circumstances. You may cancel our Online Banking Service or any component thereof by written request to the Bank at any time. If you cancel the bill payment service, all unprocessed payment requests (those that have been delivered to the Bank and those still in Pending Status) will be processed by the bank in accordance with this Agreement, unless we are specifically requested by you to stop payment on any such items in accordance with this Agreement.
25. Assignment. You may not assign all or any part of your rights or obligations under this Agreement without our prior express consent, which may be withheld in our sole discretion. We may assign or delegate all or any part of our rights or obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the performance
of the services described herein. This Agreement will be binding on and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of either party.
26. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the benefit of you and the Bank and is not intended to grant, and shall not be construed as granting,
any rights to or otherwise benefiting any other person, except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement.
