Since your password is the principal security measure to protect access to your

to any unauthorized person. If you do give your password or make it available
to another person, you authorize that person to access your accounts through The

investigation of the transaction, assign to us your right of recovery against
the wrongdoer if we reconstitute your account, and cooperate fully with us in
the recovery of any loss we sustain and the prosecution of any wrongdoer. Any

$50 if someone used your password without your permission to make an unauthorized
electronic fund transfer (as defined by federal law). If you do NOT tell us within

Related

Line of Credit or loans, you agree that the lines of credit may be accessed through
The Exchange Bank Online Banking. You understand and agree that the provisions

Account
Information You may use The Exchange Bank Online Banking to obtain balance
information and transaction histories for certain deposit and loan accounts. Balance
information and transaction histories reported through The Exchange Bank Online
Banking may not include transactions, which have occurred since the close of business
on the previous banking day. Balance information shown for your deposit accounts
may include Current Balance and Available Balance. These balance amounts may differ.
The Available Balance provides the most current balance information. Transaction
history information is available for your current statement cycle plus the previous
two statement cycles.
Transfers Between
Exchange Bank Accounts The Exchange Bank Online Banking permits you to
transfer funds from a deposit account or from your equity line of credit account
to any other deposit account, a line of credit or credit card, and installment
loans you can access through The Exchange Bank Online Banking. The "transfer
date" is the date you enter for the transfer of funds from one account to
another. Transfer of funds from a deposit account or HELOC to another deposit
account will generally be processed simultaneously on the transfer date regardless
of the day or time of the transfer. For example, if you transfer funds from Account
A to Account B, the funds will be debited from Account A and credited to the available
balance in Account B simultaneously on the transfer date. The funds will be available
immediately upon the transfer for withdrawal from Account B through an ATM or
debit card transaction or at a teller window, and will also be available to honor
checks or other items presented for payment against Account B in the nightly processing
following the transfer. Transfers of funds from a deposit or HELOC to a loan account
will be processed as follows: 1) the transfer will be debited from your deposit
account/HELOC when we execute the transfer on the transfer date (regardless of
the day or time we receive your instructions); and 2) the transfer will be credited
to your loan account during our nightly processing of the loan account. The transfer
will be credited to your loan account on the transfer date if 1) the transfer
date you designate is a business day, and 2) we receive your instruction to transfer
the funds to your loan account no later than 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the transfer
date. If you designate a non-business day as the transfer date, or if we receive
your transfer instructions after 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the transfer date,
the transferred funds will be credited to your loan account as of the next business
day following the transfer date. You are permitted
to change or cancel any future or recurring transfer instructions you have given
us using The Exchange Bank Online Banking. To do so, you must enter your change/cancellation
instructions through The Exchange Bank Online Banking and transmit the information
to us prior to 4:00p.m. Eastern Time on the transfer date. Bill
Payment Service The Bill Payment Service feature of The Exchange Bank Online
Banking allows you to instruct us to pay bills designated by you in accordance
with the instructions we provide you. Your Bill Payment Service transactions will
be processed for the Bank by CheckFree Corporation ("CheckFree"), a
major provider of electronic banking transaction processing services. References
to "we" and "us" in this section refer to both the Bank and
CheckFree. In addition to this Agreement, you may have to agree to CheckFree's
terms and conditions to access and/or use any of The Exchange Bank Online Banking
services processed for the Bank by CheckFree. a.
Payment Instructions.In General. In designating a payee for bill payment,
you must provide us with detailed "payment instructions," including
the payee's name and address, your account number (if any) with the payee, the
payment amount, the "payment date" (as defined in subsection c. below),
and the frequency of payments. You authorize us to follow your payment instructions
and to rely on the accuracy of all information you provide. Payment instructions
we receive from you are not processed instantaneously; rather, your instructions
are processed with other transactions affecting your account during our nightly
processing of your account after the close of each banking day. Payment instructions
received on a non-business day or after 3:00 p.m. on a business day will not be
processed or considered received until the next business day. Payment will be
made, and your account will be charged, according to the provisions set forth
below. We reserve the right to select the method in which to remit funds on your
behalf to the payee. Payment methods may include, but are not limited to, an electronic
payment, an electronic to check payment, or a laser draft payment. b.
Designation of Payees. Before we can pay a bill for you, you must set up the
payee on the Service. Because it may take several days to complete set-up processing,
you must provide us with payment instructions for a new payee (or to reestablish
a payee you previously deleted from your payee list) at least five business days
before the first payment date you designate for that payee. The payment of taxes,
payments into court, and payments to payees located outside the continental United
States through Bill payment service are prohibited, whether or not the Bill payment
service executes the transaction. You will be solely responsible for any claims
or damages resulting from your scheduling of these types of payments or from any
payments to prohibited payees, whether or not we refuse to make the payment or
the payment is delayed or improperly processed. We reserve the right to refuse
to pay any person or entity to which you may direct a payment. We will notify
you promptly if we decide to refuse to pay a person or entity designated by you;
however, we are not required to notify you regarding a prohibited payee or any
payment prohibited under this Agreement. c. Payments.
The "payment date" that you enter with your payment instructions is
the date you want the payee to receive your payment and also is the date we will
charge your account for the amount of the payment. We must receive your payment
instructions for a particular payment at least four business days before the payment
date you designate. If we receive your payment instructions less than four business
days before the payment date, we may not make the payment. In order to ensure
adequate time for the payee to receive the payment, the "payment date"
you enter must be (1) at least four business days after the date you enter your
payment instructions and (2) no later than the date you want the payee to receive
the payment ("the payment due date"). Some payees require payment to
be received before 5 p.m. on the payment due date; in this case, the payment date
you enter must be at least one business day before the actual payment due date.
The payment date you specify must be a business day. If the actual payment due
date falls on a non-business day, you must select a payment date that is at least
one business day before the payment due date. If you specify a payment date that
is not a business day, we will consider the immediately previous business day
as the payment date, and we will charge your account on that date. The payment
date you enter with your payment instructions should be prior to any late date
or grace period. If your payment instructions do not meet all of these requirements,
you bear the risk that the payee will not receive your payment by the payment
due date, and you will be responsible for any and all late fees, penalties, finance
charges and other actions taken by the payee. d.
Bill Pay Account. All bills paid through the Bill payment service must be
paid from the checking or savings account you have designated. You authorize us
to charge your checking or savings account according to your payment instructions.
You agree that you will have funds available in your checking or savings account
for each payment by 3:00 p.m. on the payment date you have designated in your
payment instructions. If you do not have sufficient funds in your designated
account to cover the transaction, the transaction may not be completed or, in
our discretion and without notice to you, we may complete the transaction with
the payee and make additional attempts to debit your account for the amount plus
associated service fees and charges or otherwise seek recovery of the amount and
service fees and charges from you. In either event, you are responsible and agree
to reimburse us for all insufficient funds and related service fees and charges,
and you remain liable to us for all funds we have advanced plus applicable service
fees and charges until we are paid in full. If we are unable to complete the payment
transaction according to your payment instructions for other reasons (such as
incomplete or inaccurate information), the transaction will not be completed.
We will attempt to notify you by e-mail or US mail, but we shall have no obligation
or liability if we do not complete a transfer or payment because there are insufficient
funds in your account to process the transaction or because of incomplete or inaccurate
information, and you are responsible for either making alternate arrangements
for the payment or rescheduling the payment through Bill Payment services.
e.
Limitations. We are only responsible for exercising ordinary care in processing
and sending payments upon your authorization in accordance with this Agreement.
We will not be liable in any way for damages you incur if you do not have sufficient
funds in your account to make the payment on the processing date, for delays in
mail delivery, for changes to the payee's address or account number unless you
have advised us of the change sufficiently in advance, for the failure of any
payee to correctly account for or credit the payment in a timely manner, if you
have not provided correct payment information, if you have been advised that the
payment processing center is not working properly but you execute a transaction
anyway, or for any other circumstances beyond our control.
f.
Warranty Disclaimer. The Bill payment service is provided "AS IS"
without any warranty of any kind, either express or implied, including, but not
limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular
purpose.
Transaction Limitations. For
savings and money market accounts, federal regulations limit third party or pre-authorized
transfers and withdrawals to six per statement cycle, no more than three of which
may be made by check, draft, debit card, or similar order payable to third parties.
Loan payments to us are not included in these limits. For security reasons, we
may impose additional limits on the frequency, number, and dollar amounts of transactions
you can perform using The Exchange Bank Online Banking. In addition, as noted
herein, we reserve the right to refuse to pay any person or entity to which you
may direct a payment through The Exchange Bank Online Banking. We will notify
you promptly if we decide to refuse to pay a person or entity designated by you;
however, this notification is not required if you direct us to make any payment
which is otherwise prohibited under your agreement with us. Overdrafts. If
your use of The Exchange Bank Online Banking overdraws your account and the overdraft
is not covered by an approved line of credit relating to the overdrawn account,
you agree to make immediate payment to us of the amount of any such overdraft,
together with related service charges. You also agree that we may charge the overdraft
and related service charges against your other accounts with us to the extent
permitted by law or by your Deposit Account Agreement. Your
Right to Stop Payment and Your Right to Receive Notice of Varying Amounts a.
Stop Payment Procedure. If you have told us in advance to make regular payments
or transfers out of your account, you can stop any of these payments or transfers
by following the procedures outlined in this document. We begin processing bill
payment instructions approximately four business days before the designated payment
date. You may change or cancel any bill payment instructions you have given us
using online banking (you will not be subject to our normal stop payment order
fees) if you enter and transmit, through online banking, your change or cancellation
instructions and we receive those instructions before 3:00 p.m. eastern time at
least four business days before the designated bill payment date. Once the Bill
Payment Service has started processing your payment, the payment cannot be changed
or cancelled, and you must submit a stop payment request in the manner provided
in the Service or in your Deposit Account Agreement. You may change or cancel
the instructions you have given us to transfer funds from one of your accounts
to another using online banking if you enter and transmit through online banking
your change or cancellation instructions at any time prior to the time we actually
execute your transfer instructions. Alternatively,
you may change or cancel bill payment or funds transfer instructions if you call
us collect at 1-843-355-6181 or write us at The Exchange Bank of South Carolina,
130 West Main Street, Kingstree, SC 29556, in time for us to receive your change
or cancellation instructions seven business days or more before the designated
payment or transfer date. If you call, we may require you to put your request
in writing and to get it to us within 14 days after you call. Normal service charges
apply for each change/stop payment order requested by telephone or in writing. b.
Failure to Stop Payment of Pre-Authorized Transfer. If you order us to stop
one of these payments within the applicable time frame indicated above, and we
do not do so, we will be liable for your losses or damages due to our failure
except as otherwise limited in this Agreement.
Electronic
Mail. One of the features of The Exchange Bank Online Banking is electronic
mail (Exchange Bank Online Mail), which allows you to communicate with us electronically.
If you send us an electronic mail message, we will be deemed to have received
it on the following business day. We will be diligent in responding to your e-mail.
Do not rely on e-mail if you need to communicate with us immediately, for example,
to report an unauthorized transaction from one of your accounts or to stop a pre-authorized
payment. If you would like a secure way to contact us through The Exchange Bank
Online Banking, use the electronic forms provided with Exchange Bank Online Mail.
Exchange Bank Online Mail messages sent to the Bank are the property of the Bank
and we reserve the right to delete such messages from the system from time to
time. Fees and Charges. You agree that
we may charge your checking or savings account for all fees and charges relating
to The Exchange Bank Online Banking in accordance with the applicable fee schedule.
We reserve the right to change applicable fees and charges at any time. We will
provide you with any notice required by law of any changes to our fees and charges.
If your Primary Account does not have a sufficient balance to pay all applicable
fees and charges due, we may exercise our right of setoff against any of your
other accounts as provided by law or your Deposit Account Agreement. Any applicable
fees will be charged regardless of whether you use a service during the billing
cycle.
Termination or Discontinuation. You
may terminate or discontinue The Exchange Bank Online Banking by giving us at
least 10 days prior written notice. You may call us collect at 1-843-355-6181,
or you may mail your notice to The Exchange Bank of South Carolina, 130 West Main
Street, Kingstree, SC 29556. You will not be entitled to the refund of any prepaid
fees or charges. You must tell us your name, address, whether you are discontinuing
The Exchange Bank Online Banking, Bill payment service or both, and the effective
date to stop the service. Note: Exchange Bank Online is required for Bill Payment
Services. When Bill Payment is terminated, any prescheduled
bill payments made through The Exchange Bank Online Banking will also be terminated.
Your final charge for the Bill Payment service will be assessed at the end of
the month. If you terminate a Bill Payment service, you authorize us to continue
making fund transfers, bill payments or other transactions you had previously
authorized until we have a reasonable opportunity to act upon your termination
notice. If you are not paying a monthly service charge for the service, we may
convert your account to inactive status if you do not sign on to the service or
have any transactions scheduled through the service during any consecutive ninety
day period. If your account is considered inactive, you must contact us to have
the service activated before you will be able to schedule any transaction through
the service. We can refuse The Exchange Bank Online
Banking services to anyone. We may terminate your The Exchange Bank Online Banking
services at any time without prior notice and with or without cause. If more than
one person can access an account through The Exchange Bank Online Banking, we
reserve the absolute right to terminate all The Exchange Bank Online Banking access
to the account upon the request of the account owner, any account co-owner, or
any other person authorized to access the account. In addition, CheckFree may
terminate your access to the Bill payment service without prior notice to you,
with or without cause. Neither termination nor discontinuation shall affect your
liability or obligations under this Agreement, and you will remain liable for
payments, transfers and other transactions in process and for the payment of any
accrued fees and charges. Notices. Any
notice we give you concerning The Exchange Bank Online Banking and/or your accounts
is effective when we send you an electronic message or when we mail or deliver
the notice to you at the address we have for you in our account records. Any notice
we send you will be deemed to have been received by you within three days of being
sent. If any of your accounts has more than one co-owner, notice to any one co-owner
will be considered effective notice to all. To the extent permitted by law or
regulation, you agree that we may send you by means of an electronic message any
information we are required by law or regulation to provide you orally or in writing.
You may request a paper copy of the information up to sixty days after receiving
our electronic message. Change of Address. You
agree to notify us promptly in writing of any address change, including regular
mail and electronic mail addresses. You may call us collect at 1-843-355-6181
or send written instructions to us at The Exchange Bank of South Carolina, 130
West Main Street, Kingstree, SC 29556. Joint and
Several Liability. If any one or more of your deposit accounts has co-owners,
each co-owner will be jointly and severally liable for any obligation, which arises
from the use of The Exchange Bank Online Banking to access the account. This joint
and several liability shall extend as well to any line of credit accessed through
any such account. Warranty. We may on
a regular basis perform maintenance on our equipment or system, which may result
in interrupted service or errors in the service. We also may need to change the
scope of our services from time to time. We will attempt to provide prior notice
of such interruptions and changes but cannot guarantee that such notice will be
provided. We make no representation that The Exchange Bank Online Banking services
(including the Bill payment service) will be uninterrupted or error free. Our
