ONLINE BANKING & BILL PAYMENT AGREEMENT
The first time you access your accounts through Online Banking, you
agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Online Banking
Agreement ("Agreement") and acknowledge its receipt and your
understanding of its terms.
This Agreement explains the terms and conditions for accessing accounts
and conducting transactions at Virginia Bank & Trust (“Institution”,
“we”, “us” and “our”) via our on-line
Online Banking site(s) ("Online Banking"). As used in this
Agreement, the terms "you" and "your" refer to each
person signing an Online Banking Application.
Through Online Banking, you can manage eligible accounts from your
home or office on a personal computer. Online Banking can be used to
conduct any of the following “On-line Financial Services”:
Obtain balances and transaction histories on all eligible accounts
enrolled in Online Banking (All account balances and transaction histories
reflect activity through the close of the previous banking day);
Transfer money between eligible accounts (The number of transfers you
can make from an 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 Institution for
overdraft protection, consumer loans, home equity loans, or certain
other eligible loans; and pay bills to any merchant, financial institution
or an individual with a U.S. address.
Institution may, from time to time, introduce new On-line Financial
Services. By using those services when they become available, you agree
to be bound by the terms contained in this Agreement, and its subsequent
amendments.
We are strongly committed to protecting the security and confidentiality
of our customer accounts information. We use several techniques to help
secure our Online Banking service, including the following:
You can only access Institution with certain browsers
that have a high security standard.
Your account numbers are never displayed in full - only
the last 4 digits can be viewed.
You must have a valid Online Banking User ID and password
to logon.
If no action is taken for 10 minutes, you will be automatically
logged off the Online Banking service.
To access On-line Financial Services you must have Windows: IE. 4.01
SP1 and 5.0, Netscape Navigator 4.08, and Netscape Communicator 4.7
or compatible web browser and 128 bit data encryption.
In addition to compatible software, you must have an Online Banking
User ID, a password and maintain one or more of the following eligible
accounts at Institution:
- Basic Checking
- Regular Checking
- Interest Checking
- HIFI Money Market
- Commercial Checking
- Commercial Checking – Fee Analysis
- Non-Profit Organizations & Churches – Checking
- Regular Savings
- Business Savings
- Installment Loan
- Mortgage Loan
- Home Equity Line
- Certificate of Deposit
- IRA
Password
Your password will give you access to Institution accounts via Online
Banking. Institution is entitled to act on any instructions it receives
using your password. For security purposes, it is recommended that you
memorize your password and do not write it down. We also recommend that
you change your password regularly to try and avoid misappropriation
by a third party. Your password can be changed at our Online Banking
site. You are responsible for keeping your password and account data
confidential. When you give someone your password, you are authorizing
that person to use Online Banking and the On-line Financial Services.
You are responsible for all transactions performed using your password,
even if you did not intend or authorize them. In addition, fraudulent
transactions initiated using your password will be charged against your
account(s).
You can usually access On-line Financial Services seven (7) days a
week, twenty-four (24) hours a day. However, at certain times, some
or all of Online Banking or On-line Financial Services may not be available
due to system maintenance or reasons beyond Institution's control. Institution
does not warrant that Online Banking or On-line Financial Services will
be available at all times. When unavailable, you may use an automated
teller machine (“ATM”) or call our call office to conduct your transactions.
An On-line Financial Service transaction initiated prior to
3 PM (Eastern Time) on a banking day is posted to your account the same
day. All transfers completed after 3 PM (Eastern Time), or on a non-banking
day, will be posted the following banking day.

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 Online Banking or On-line Financial
Services. You may not gain, or attempt to gain, access to any Online
Banking and/or On-line Financial Service server, network or data not
specifically permitted to you by Institution or its suppliers, and you
must not include any obscene, libelous, scandalous or defamatory content
in any communications with Institution or its suppliers.
When you complete your internet banking enrollment form, you will be
given an opportunity to request a Subscriber I.D. and Password. You
will use the User ID and password to access both the Internet Banking
product and the Bill Pay product.
Each time you access the Service, you will be asked to enter your User
ID and Password. The correct responses will give you access to the Service.
This is your bill paying agreement with Virginia Bank & Trust.
You may use Virginia Bank & Trust's bill paying service, Bill Pay,
to direct Virginia Bank & Trust to make payments from your designated
checking (account) to the Merchants you choose in accordance with this
agreement. The terms and conditions of this Agreement are in addition
to the Account agreements, disclosures and other documents in effect
from time to time governing your Account (the Account Rules).
"You" or "your" means each person who signs the
bill paying enrollment form or is otherwise authorized to use the Service.
"Merchant" means anyone, including the Financial Institution,
you designate and the Financial Institution accepts as a payee.
HOW TO SET UP MERCHANTS/PAYMENTS
When you sign onto the bill pay system you will establish your
list of Merchants by selecting the Add button on the Set up Accounts
and Payee screen. You may add a new fixed payment for any Merchant but
only if they are on your authorized list of payees. If the Merchant
is not set up for electronic payments, the service will generate a paper
check for payment. The check will carry your account number and will
clear directly through your account. A unique check number will appear
on your statement for easy recognition. The Financial Institution reserves
the right to refuse the designation of a Merchant for any reason.
The Financial Institution is not responsible if a Bill Payment can not
be made due to incomplete, incorrect, or outdated information provided
by you regarding a Merchant or if you attempt to pay a Merchant that
is not on your Authorized Payee list.
THE BILL PAYING PROCESS
The Financial Institution will process variable payments on
the business day (generally Monday through Friday, except holidays)
you designate the bill is to be processed, provided the payment request
is received prior to the cut-off time set by the Financial Institution,
which is currently 7:30 AM EST. Variable bill requests received after
the business day cut off time, or at any time on a non-business day
will be processed on the next business day. The Financial Institution
reserves its right to change the cut-off time by giving you notice if
it changes.
FOR RECURRING PAYMENT REQUESTS, IF YOU DESIGNATE A PROCESSING
DATE OF THE 28TH THROUGH THE 31ST OF A MONTH, PROCESSING WILL BE INITIATED
ON THE LAST CALENDAR DAY OF THE MONTH. Otherwise, recurring
payment requests will be processed on the dates you have designated,
unless such date falls on a non-business day resulting in your payment
being processed on the next business day.
YOU MUST ALLOW AT LEAST FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS, PRIOR TO THE
DUE DATE, FOR EACH BILL PAYMENT (RECURRING OR VARIABLE) TO REACH THE
MERCHANT. (IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE SUBSCRIBER TO SCHEDULE/ACTIVATE
RECURRING PAYMENTS) Due to circumstances beyond our control,
some Merchants take longer to post payments than others. We suggest
sending your first payment eight (8) business days in advance of the
Due Date. After your first payment has posted you will have a better
understanding of how much time to allow for each Merchant.
You must select a Payment Date that is at least five (5) business
days before the actual Due Date reflected on your Payee statement. If
your actual Due Date falls on a non-business day you must select a Payment
Date that is at least one business day before the actual Due Date. Payment
Dates should be prior to any late date or grace period.
When you have scheduled a payment, you authorize the Financial Institution
to debit your Payment Account and remit funds on your behalf. You certify
that your Payment Account is an account from which you are authorized
to make payments and any payment you make will be debited from this
account. You also authorize the credit of returned payments from using
the Bill Pay Service.
The Bill Pay Service will incur no liability and a Service Guarantee
shall be void if the Bill Pay Service is unable to complete any payments
initiated because of any of the following:
1. You have not provided the Bill Pay Service with the correct payment
account information, or the correct name, address, phone number, or
account information for the Merchant upon initiation of the payment;
and/or,
2. Circumstances beyond the control of the Bill Pay Service (such
as, but not limited to, fire, flood, or interference from an outside
force) prevent the proper execution of the transaction and the Bill
Pay Service has taken reasonable precautions to avoid those circumstances;
3. The payment-processing center is not working properly and you know
or have been advised by the Bill Pay Service about the malfunction before
you execute the transaction;
You agree to have available and collected funds on deposit in the
account you designate in amounts sufficient to pay for all Bill Payments
requested, as well as, any other payment obligations you have to the
Financial Institution. The Financial Institution reserves the right,
without liability, to reject or reverse a Bill Payment if you fail to
comply with this requirement or any other terms of this agreement. If
you do not have sufficient funds in the Account and the Financial Institution
has not exercised its right to reverse or reject a Bill Payment, you
agree to pay for such payment obligations on demand. You further agree
the Financial Institution, at its option, may charge any of your accounts
with the Financial Institution to cover such payment obligations.
The Bill Pay Service reserves the right to select the method in which
to remit funds on your behalf to your Merchant.
Any Bill Payment can be changed or canceled, provided you access the
Service prior to the cut-off time on the business day prior to the business
day the Bill Payment is going to be initiated.
RETURNED PAYMENTS
In using the Service, you understand that the Service and/or
the United States Postal Service may return payments for various reasons,
such as, but not limited to, the Service account number is not valid;
the Service is unable to locate account; or Payee account is paid in
full. The Service will use its best efforts to research and correct
the returned payment, or void the payment and credit your Payment Account.
You may receive notification from the Service.
LIABILITY
You are solely responsible for controlling the safekeeping
of, and access to, your password. You are liable for all transactions
you make or that you authorize another person to make even if that person
exceeds his or her authority. If you want to terminate another person's
authority, you must notify the Financial Institution and arrange to
change your password. You will be responsible for any Bill Payment request
you make that contains an error or is a duplicate of another Bill Payment.
The Financial Institution is not responsible for a Bill Payment that
is not made if you did not properly follow the instructions for making
a Bill Payment. The Financial Institution is not liable for any failure
to make a Bill Payment if you fail to promptly notify the Financial
Institution after you learn that you have not received credit from a
Merchant for a Bill Payment. The Financial Institution is not responsible
for your acts or omissions or those of any other person, including,
without limitation, any transmission or communications facility, and
no such party shall be deemed to be the Financial Institution's agent.
In any event, the Financial Institution will not be liable for any special,
consequential, incidental, or punitive losses, damages, or expenses
in connection with this Agreement or the Service, even if the Financial
Institution has knowledge of the possibility of them. The Financial
Institution is not liable for any act, failure to act or delay in acting
if it is caused, in whole or in part, by any cause beyond the Financial
Institution's reasonable control.
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
The Financial Institution has the right to change this Agreement
at any time by notice mailed to you at the last address shown for the
Account on the Financial Institution's records, by posting notice in
branches of the Financial Institution, or as otherwise permitted by
law.
The Financial Institution has the right to terminate this Agreement
at any time. You may terminate this Agreement by written notice to the
Financial Institution. The Financial Institution is not responsible
for any fixed payment made before the Financial Institution has a reasonable
opportunity to act on your termination notice. You remain obligated
for any payments made by the Financial Institution on your behalf.

Service. There is no monthly fee for the Business Bill Paying Service.

The Financial Institution reserves the right to charge you for research
time involving payments no longer available in your screen history.
You will be informed of any such charges before they are incurred.
Some Bill payments are processed by Electronic Fund Transfers (EFT).
Please see the Electronic Fund Transfers Disclosure Statement included,
or, received when you opened your account, which discloses important
information concerning your rights and obligations.
Neither Institution 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 Online
Banking or On-line Financial 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 Online Banking or On-line Financial
Services; (ix) you knew that Online Banking and/or the On-line Financial
Services were not operating properly at the time you initiated the transaction
or payment; (xi) there is postal delay; or (xi) 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 should notify us immediately if you believe anyone has improperly
obtained your password or if you suspect any fraudulent activity in
your account(s). If your password has been compromised and you tell
us within two (2) business days of discovering the loss or misappropriation,
you can lose no more than $50. If you do not tell us within the two
(2) business day period, you could lose as much as $500 if we could
have stopped the use of your accounts had we received notice in a timely
manner. You should contact us, or the bill payment provider, as applicable,
as soon as you identify any errors or discrepancies in your statement
or transaction record, or if you need any information about a transaction
listed on the statement or transaction record. We must hear from you
no later than sixty (60) days after we have sent the first statement
on which the problem or error appeared (If you notify us verbally, we
may require that you send us your complaint or question in writing or
electronically within ten (10) business days). If you fail to notify
us within the sixty (60) day period, you may not recover any of the
money you lost if we can establish that the loss could have been avoided
had you notified us on time. We may extend these time periods for good
reasons such as out-of-town travel or extended hospital stays.
When you report a problem or discrepancy, please: (i) tell us your
name and account number; (ii) describe the error or the transaction
you are unsure about, and explain why you believe it is in error or
what additional information you need; (iii) tell us the dollar amount
of any suspected error; and (iv) for a bill payment, tell us the number
of the account used to pay the bill, the applicable payee name and account
number, the date the payment was sent, the payment amount and the payment
reference number. Generally speaking, we will tell you the results of
our investigation within ten (10) business days, or twenty (20) business
days in the case of point of sale or international transactions, after
we hear from you. However, we may take up to forty-five (45) days, or
ninety (90) days in the case of point of sale or international transactions,
to investigate your complaint or question. In this case, we may provisionally
credit your account so that you have use of the money during the time
it takes us to complete our investigation. If you fail to provide your
complaint or question in writing within ten (10) business days of a
request from us to do so, we reserve the right to not credit your account.
If we confirm an error, we will correct your account record within ten
(10) business days, or twenty (20) business days in the case of point
of sale or international transaction. If we determine that there was
no error, we will send you a written explanation within three (3) business
days after we conclude our investigation and will debit any interim
amounts credited to your account. You may request copies of any documents
that we use in our investigation.
Unauthorized Transactions – Business and Commercial Customers
You should notify us immediately if you believe anyone has improperly
obtained your password or if you suspect any fraudulent activity in
your account(s). You are liable for all transactions to your account
using your password. Notify us if you notice any unauthorized transactions
so we can prevent additional unauthorized transactions to your account.
When you report a problem or discrepancy, please: (i) tell us your
name and account number; (ii) describe the error or the transaction
you are unsure about, and explain why you believe it is in error or
what additional info rmation you need; (iii) tell us the dollar amount
of any suspected error; and (iv) for a bill payment, tell us the number
of the account used to pay the bill, the applicable payee name and account
number, the date the payment was sent, the payment amount and the payment
reference number. Generally speaking, we will tell you the results of
our investigation within ten (10) business days, or twenty (20) business
days in the case of point of sale or international transactions, after
we hear from you. However, we may take up to forty-five (45) days, or
ninety (90) days in the case of point of sale or international transactions,
to investigate your complaint or question. In this case, we may provisionally
credit your account so that you have use of the money during the time
it takes us to complete our investigation. If you fail to provide your
complaint or question in writing within ten (10) business days of a
request from us to do so, we reserve the right to not credit your account.
If we confirm an error, we will correct your account record within ten
(10) business days, or twenty (20) business days in the case of point
of sale or international transaction. If we determine that there was
no error, we will send you a written explanation within three (3) business
days after we conclude our investigation and will debit any interim
amounts credited to your account. You may request copies of any documents
that we use in our investigation.
Electronic Mail (E-mail)
Sending E-mail is a very good way to communicate with Institution
regarding your accounts or the On-line Financial Services. However,
your e-mail is actually sent via your own software and, as a result,
is not secure. Because of this, you should not include confidential
information, such as account numbers and balances in any e-mail to Institution.
You cannot use e-mail to initiate On-line Financial Service transactions.
All such transactions must be initiated using the appropriate functions
within the Online Banking site. Institution will not be liable for any
errors, omissions, claims, or problems of any kind involving your e-mail.
Information submitted to Institution or
its suppliers is the property of those parties, and they are free to
use and disclose that information, or any ideas, concepts, know-how
or techniques contained in that information to any third party for any
purpose whatsoever, except as specifically agreed by Institution or
prohibited by law.

offered by any company or person linked to this site nor is Institution
responsible for any software or the content of any information published
on the site of any third party. You should take precautions when downloading

and other destructive programs.
Institution is not responsible for any electronic virus that you may
encounter using the On-line Fund Services. 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.
In addition to the terms previously disclosed, Institution is not responsible
for any losses, errors, injuries, expenses, claims, attorney's fees,
interest or other damages, whether direct, indirect, special, punitive,
incidental or consequential, (collectively, “Losses”) caused by Online
Banking or the use of the On-line Financial Services or in any way arising
out of the installation, use or maintenance of your personal computer
hardware or software, including any software provided by Institution
or one of its suppliers. In addition, Institution disclaims any responsibility
for any electronic virus (es) Customer may encounter after installation
of such software or use of Online Banking or the On-line Financial Services.
Without limiting the foregoing, neither Institution nor its suppliers
shall be liable for any: (i) failure to perform or any Losses arising
out of an event or condition beyond their reasonable control, including
but not limited to communications breakdown or interruption, acts of
God or labor disputes; or (ii) the loss, confidentiality or security
of any data while in transit via the Internet, communication lines,
postal system or ACH network. Institution and its suppliers provide
Online Banking and the On-line Financial Services from their own sites
and they make no representation or warranty that any information, material

applicable local laws and regulations. Neither Institution nor its suppliers
warrant the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any information provided
as a part of Online Banking, the On-line Financial Services, or contained

OR PERFORMANCE OF ONLINE BANKING, ON-LINE FINANCIAL SERVICES, OR ANY
SOFTWARE THAT MAY BE USED IN CONNECTION WITH SAME. INSTITUTION DISCLAIMS
ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY,
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION.
Customer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Institution and its
officers, employees, directors, suppliers and agents, in their individual
capacities or otherwise, from and against any Losses arising out of:
(i) Customer's negligence; (ii) Customer's failure to comply with applicable
law; or (iii) Customer's failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement.
Due to the likelihood of irreparable injury, Institution shall be entitled
to an injunction prohibiting any breach of this Agreement by Customer.
Institution reserves the right to terminate this Agreement or to change
the charges, fees or other terms described in this Agreement at any
time. When changes are made, we will notify you by: 1) electronic mail;
2) physical mail at the address shown in our records; and/or 3) update
of our web site.
You submit to the jurisdiction of, and this Agreement shall be governed
by the laws of, the State of Virginia , U.S.A. , as well as the federal
laws of the U.S.A. Venue for any action arising out of this Agreement
shall be in a state court of competent jurisdiction covering Danville

entitled to the recovery of its reasonable attorney's fees, costs, and
expenses.
Institution may assign its rights and/or delegate all or a portion of
its duties under this Agreement to a third party.
This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the parties with
respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and all prior agreements,
understandings and representations concerning such subject matter are
canceled in their entirety. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement
is in addition to any other agreements between you and Institution.
If there is a conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement
and one or more terms contained in another agreement between you and
the Institution, this Agreement will control.
Institution shall not, by the mere lapse of time, without giving notice
or taking other action, be deemed to have waived any of its rights under
this Agreement. No waiver by Institution of a breach of this Agreement
shall constitute a waiver of any prior or subsequent breach of this
Agreement.
Neither party shall be liable for any loss nor damage due to causes
beyond its control, including fire, explosion, lightning, pest damage,
power surges or failures, strikes or labor disputes, water, acts of
God, the elements, war, civil disturbances, acts of civil or military
authorities or the public enemy, inability to secure raw materials,
transportation facilities, fuel or energy shortages, acts or omissions
of communications carriers, or other causes beyond that party's control.
Either party may terminate this Agreement immediately on written notice
if the other party is prevented from performing its obligations under
this Agreement for a period of more than thirty (30) days due to the
reasons set forth in this subsection.
This Agreement shall be construed equally against the parties regardless
of who is more responsible for its preparation. If there is a conflict
between a part of this Agreement and any present or future law, the
part of this Agreement that is affected shall be curtailed only to the
extent necessary to bring it within the requirements of that law.
I HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE FOREGOING AGREEMENT AND AGREE
TO BE BOUND BY ALL ITS TERMS.
