CUSTOMER AGREEMENT and DISCLOSURES
- Coverage. This Agreement applies to your use of
Basic Business Online Banking ("Online Banking"), which permits you to access
your accounts with Watertown Savings Bank via the Internet for
various banking services. This Agreement applies to all persons
that are parties to the accounts. In this Agreement, the terms "you"
and "your" refer to each depositor on an account accessible by
Basic Business Online Banking, and the terms "us," "we," and "our" refer to
Watertown Savings Bank. Terms and conditions for bill payment
services are covered under a separate e-pay service agreement.
- Enrollment. To enroll in Basic Business Online Banking, you will
need to evidence your agreement with the terms of this Agreement
by clicking AGREE below. You will then be asked to identify
yourself and select an access ID, password and passmark image and phrase. Once you have
completed these steps, you will be enrolled in Basic Business Online Banking and
have access to the services offered by us. All information is kept
strictly confidential and is not released to non-related third party
entities. Please refer to our Privacy Notice for information.
- Your Responsibility. You are responsible for
selecting all software, hardware and your Internet service provider
and for any defect, malfunction or interruption in service or
security due to hardware or software failure or your choice of an
Internet service provider.
- Password. As part of our enrollment process, you
will be required to select a password ("Password") to access
services using Basic Business Online Banking. Your Password has the same effect
as your signature authorizing transactions. You agree to safely
keep your Password, not to record your Password or otherwise
disclose or make your Password available to anyone other than
authorized users of your accounts. Anyone to whom you disclose
your Password and anyone who has access to your Password will
have full access to the services you can perform with
Basic Business Online Banking, including full access to your accounts. You have no
ability to limit any such person's authority. If anyone uses your
Password with your permission, you will be responsible for any
transactions performed by that person.
- Customer Liability. Tell us AT ONCE if you
believe your Password has been lost, stolen or otherwise become
available to an unauthorized person. Telephoning is the best way
of minimizing your losses. Also, if your statement shows transfers
that you did not make, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within
60 days of the date we mail or e-mail a periodic statement to you,
you may not get any money you lost if we show that we could have
stopped someone from taking the money if you would have told us
in time.
- Contact in Event of Unauthorized Transfer. If
you believe your Password has been lost or stolen or your passmark
image or phrase has been tampered with or that someone
has transferred or may transfer money from your account without
your permission: call us toll free at 800-207-2525 Monday
through Friday during the hours of 9 am to 3 pm; write Watertown
Savings Bank, 60 Main Street, Watertown, MA 02472, Attention:
Internet Banking Support; or e-mail us at
support@watertownsavings.com.
IMPORTANT: E-mail is generally not a secure form of communication. Please do not include account number or social security information in this correspondence.
- Services. Using Basic Business Online Banking, you can:
- view account information
- transfer funds between your Qualified Accounts
- schedule a recurring or future transfer between your
Qualified Accounts
- transfer funds from your Equity Account (home equity line)
to a Qualified Account
- make payments out of your Qualified Accounts to your
loan accounts
- schedule monthly payments out of your Qualified Accounts
to your loan accounts
(The term "Qualified Accounts" means any checking account or
any statement savings account.
Subject to available funds, you may transfer funds through
Basic Business Online Banking in any amount.)
- Business Days. Our business days are Monday
through Friday, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays, even
if the Bank or any branch is open all or part of such days.
- Processing Your Funds Transfer. We will
process a funds transfer on the same business day as your
instructions if we receive your instructions before our Online
Banking cut-off hour of 7:00 p.m. (the "Cut-Off Hour") on a
business day. If we receive your instruction after the Cut-Off Hour
of a business day, we will process the transaction no later than the
Cut-Off Hour of our next business day. If you schedule a funds
transfer for a future date, we will process the transaction on that
date if that day is a business day. If the date you request for a
future transfer is not a business day, we will process the transaction
no later than the Cut-Off Hour of the next business day. If you
schedule a recurring funds transfer and the payment date does not
exist in a month, the payment will be processed on the last
business day of that month.
- Cancelling Funds Transfers. You may cancel or
change a scheduled funds transfer by selecting and accurately
completing the appropriate fields from the payment menu. Any
instruction to cancel or change a funds transfer must be made by
the Cut-Off Hour of the business day prior to the date the
transaction is to be processed. If you do not accurately complete
the appropriate instructions prior to that time, the transaction will
be processed.
- Overdrafts. When you schedule a funds transfer
using Basic Business Online Banking, you authorize us to withdraw the necessary
funds from your account with us. We deduct the amount of your
funds transfer from your account on the date we process your
instruction. Each instruction to us to withdraw or transfer from an
account is an order to us to pay from that account at that time or on
a later date, if any, indicated in the instruction. We may charge
payments against the account even though the charge creates an
overdraft, or we may refuse to make payments if the charge creates
an overdraft. If you overdraw your account, you agree to
immediately pay us the overdrawn amount, together with any
applicable fees. If the account is maintained in connection with an
overdraft line of credit, any overdraft will be made in accordance
with the agreement or rules governing that account rather than this
Agreement.
- Limitations on Transfers. Under federal
regulations, you may make no more than six preauthorized
electronic funds transfers and telephone transfers, including
Basic Business Online Banking transactions, checks and point-of-sale transactions
per month from your savings or money market deposit account. Of
these six transactions, you are limited to no more than three
transactions per month by check, draft, debit card or similar order
to third parties. Each funds transfer through Basic Business Online Banking from
your savings or money market deposit account is counted as one of
the six limited transfers you are permitted each month. However,
payments to your loan accounts with us are not counted toward this
limit for savings and money market deposit accounts.
- Fees. There is no charge to use Basic Business Online Banking or to
make transfers between accounts. There may be a monthly fee to
use bill payment service depending on your choice of checking
account. This information may be found in our regular schedule of
fees and charges.
- Periodic Statements. Your Online Banking
account activity will appear on your periodic account statement.
Periodic Statements do not apply to Passbook Savings Account
Customers.
- Our Liability for Failure to Make Transfers. If
you have given us all of the proper and timely instructions and
have properly completed all fields to complete a transfer, and we
do not complete a transfer to or from your account on time or in
the correct amount according to our agreement with you, subject to
the limitations contained in this Agreement, we will be liable for
your losses or damages proximately caused by our failure.
However, there are some exceptions. We will not be liable to you
if, among other things:
- through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money in
your account to make the transfer.
- the transfer would go over the credit limit on your overdraft line.
- circumstances beyond our control (such as
communications, electronic or computer system failure, fire
or flood) prevent the transfer or use of Basic Business Online Banking,
despite reasonable precautions that we have taken.
- you have not properly followed the instructions for using
Basic Business Online Banking.
- your operating system is not properly installed or
functioning properly.
- the failure resulted from any malfunctions of your browser,
Internet service provider or computer, computer virus or
other problems relating to the computer equipment you use
with Basic Business Online Banking, including, without limitation, your
inability to access Basic Business Online Banking or any part of
Basic Business Online Banking.
- the failure was the result of inaccessibility to Basic Business Online Banking
due to Basic Business Online Banking system failure.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this agreement, unless
otherwise prohibited by law, our sole responsibility for an
error by us or third party provider in transferring funds will
be to correct the error, but in no case will the bank be liable
for any indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages
in connection with or in any way related to online banking.
- Alerts/Messages. Internet banking alerts
allow you to set up automated alert events based on your own criteria to be
alerted upon. Alerts may be sent via e-mail or in an online message box within
Internet banking, or both. E-mail alerts will be sent to the e-mail address you
provide in creating the alert.
- The Bank may add or remove types of alerts from time to time.
- If you change your e-mail address you are responsible for changing
this in the alerts you have already set up.

of reasons.

any alert.
- You agree that we shall not be liable for any actions taken or not
taken by you or anyone else in reliance of an alert.

circumstances under which we may provide information about
your accounts to third parties are set forth in our current Privacy

you in advance but are not required to do so. You will be notified
as soon as practicable. Any one person who can use the account
accessible with Basic Business Online Banking may terminate Basic Business Online Banking.
Termination shall not affect the rights and obligations of the parties
for transactions made with Basic Business Online Banking before we have had a
reasonable time to respond to your termination request. Your
termination of Basic Business Online Banking will automatically terminate any
pending transfers and payments.
- Third Parties. You understand that support and
services relating to Basic Business Online Banking are provided by third parties
other than us, and you authorize us to contract with third parties to
provide such support and service. We provide free online bill pay services through a third-party vendor called Checkfree. Please refer to their Terms and Conditions to review your rights and responsibilities regarding online bill payments.

files. Amendments will be effective upon the date indicated in the
notice.
- Limitation on our Liability. UNLESS OTHERWISE
