Business Online Terms and Conditions

This agreement governs Customers use of electronic services made available at www.dairystatebank.com or through the Dairy State Bank Business Mobile App. Availability of certain services is dependent on Customers device, and some services may not be available for use with all account types.

These Terms & Conditions are revised periodically, and may not include changes from earlier versions. By using electronic services, Customer agrees to the most recent version of this Agreement, which is available online.

Dairy State Bank may accept verbal or written instructions, including facsimile or electronic transmission of instructions via electronic banking system from any person designated as “Authorized Persons” in the applicable Service Agreement, and may also accept instructions from any person authorized to sign on the affected account(s). Customer agrees to hold Dairy State Bank harmless from any and all costs, expenses, liabilities, damages and attorney’s fees arising from or related to Dairy State Bank acting in good faith in accordance with instructions of information that was supplied for services. Unless the Agreement specifically limits the authority of a particular person, each Authorized person or Authorized Signer may act alone.

Customer agrees to pay Dairy State Bank the fees and charges for the services used, as reflected on a written fee schedule. Dairy State Bank may change the fees and charges by giving the Customer thirty (30) days written notice of the changes. Dairy State Bank will collect the fees and charges by debiting any of the Customers’ accounts with Dairy State Bank.

Protecting our customers’ privacy is important to us. All information gathered in connection with using Online Banking will be governed by the provisions of Dairy State Bank’s Privacy Policy which is available online at www.dairystatebank.com or by contacting us at (715) 234-9181.

Prevent unauthorized access to your accounts by keeping your Login Credentials confidential and ensure that you log out of Online Banking when you are finished. If you choose to activate a biometric feature (such as a fingerprint or face scanner), it is your responsibility to control access to Online Banking just as you would with your User ID and password. You acknowledge that any person who has a biometric feature stored in your device may be able to access Online Accounts on that device.

We will never ask you to share your Login Credentials, and you do not need to share your Login Credentials to send or receive money using Online Banking. Separate Login Credentials should be obtained for each Authorized Person and should never be shared. If you give another person or business access to Online Banking by sharing your Login Credentials, you agree that such third-party will be authorized to act on your behalf, and will be bound by this Agreement (and any separate agreement governing your account). Customer acknowledges that Dairy State Bank offered Customer and its Authorized Persons a commercially reasonable security procedure, and that Customer has accepted the security procedure. The Customer agrees that the security procedure, including a PIN/Password, user ID, or use of a Token and associated PIN/Password will be kept confidential by Customer and its Authorized Persons. Any activity performed using your Login Credentials, even if not specifically intended by you, will be presumed to be authorized by you. If you have shared your Login Credentials with a third-party, and wish to revoke such access, you must contact Dairy State Bank to block Online Access until new Login Credentials are established.

Contact us immediately if:

• You would like to disable or revoke your password
• You believe that your password or other means to access Online Banking have been lost or
• You believe that someone may attempt to use Online Banking without your consent or has transferred money without your permission.

Neither Customer nor Dairy State Bank shall be responsible for any loss or delay caused by any failure or interruption of any electronic communication system between the Customer and Dairy State Bank, equipment, mechanical or software failure or malfunction, electrical, computer, action or inaction of governmental, civil or military authority, fire, strike, lockout or other labor disputes, flood, hurricane, war, riot, theft, earthquake, natural disaster, act of God or any other cause or causes which are unavoidable or beyond its reasonable control, default of common carriers or third party vendors, and suspension in payment by another financial institution. Dairy State Bank is not responsible for any act or failure to act by any correspondent bank, Federal Reserve Bank, SWIFT, National Automated Clearing House Association, Upper Midwest Automated Clearing House Association, or any other third party.

Customer must promptly report any error in connection with any Business Online service and any discrepancy between Customer’s records of Customer’s orders and requests (including wire, electronic commerce, and automated clearing house payment orders). Customer agrees that 60 days is a reasonable time for Customer to notify Dairy State Bank of discrepancies, including unauthorized and erroneous payment orders, unless any other applicable Deposit Account Agreements, Rules & Regulations or laws provide for a shorter notification time. Customer agrees to provide Dairy State Bank with all information requests in connection with any discrepancy. This paragraph does not modify the Deposit Rules notification requirement regarding checks paid without a properly authorized signature or errors or discrepancies other than those specifically related to a Business Online service.

If Customer provides Dairy State Bank with an address that permits electronic communication with Customer, or if Customer uses an electronic means to communicate with Dairy State Bank, including, without limitation, through the Internet, Dairy State Bank may deliver information and documents of any nature to Customer and receive information and documents of any nature from Customer by electronic means. Notwithstanding the above, Dairy State Bank, without liability to Customer, refuses to act on a value bearing communication that is not authenticated by a commercially reasonable means or to Dairy State Bank’s reasonable satisfactions. Customer agrees that Customer is responsible for and agrees that Dairy State Bank will not be liable to Customer if any unauthorized person intercepts electronic communications between Dairy State Bank and Customer in the absence of Dairy State Bank’s negligence. Customer agrees that an electronic notice sent to an address designated by the Customer, satisfies any commercially reasonable security procedure and constitutes as written notice, and that Dairy State Bank may, at their sole option, rely on such notice without obtaining a manual signature of one of its Authorized Persons.

Customer has the right to receive paper statements and other account-related notices for any account that is accessed electronically, however; may elect to receive electronic versions of account statements and notices (eStatements) by contacting the bank. Generally, the cycle time for eStatements will be the same frequency as paper statements. Upon account establishment, Customer will begin to build an 18-month electronic document history that will be available within Online Banking.

Once enrolled in electronic presentment of any document, paper versions of documents will no longer be received. Copies of required regulatory disclosures and tax statements will be mailed at no charge. Requesting copies of previously issued account statements, and requesting copies of checks or other account-specific items may incur a fee. (See Business Fee Schedule for pricing information.)

Customer is responsible for downloading and saving electronic documents. If an account is closed, online access to the closed account or associated electronic documents will no longer be available. Final account statement may be provided upon request.

Your enrollment in Dairy State Bank Online Banking and/or Mobile Banking (the “Service”) includes enrollment to receive transaction alerts and notifications (“Alerts”). Alerts are electronic notices from us that contain transactional information about your Dairy State Bank account(s). Account Alerts and Additional Alerts must be managed and/or added online through the Service. We may add new alerts from time to time, or cancel old alerts.

Methods of Delivery. We may provide alerts through one or more channels (“endpoints”): (a) a mobile device, by text message, (b) a mobile device, by push notification; (c) an email account, by an email message; or (d) your Dairy State Bank Online Banking message inbox. You agree to receive alerts through these endpoints, and it is your responsibility to determine that each of the service providers for the endpoints described in (a) through (c) above supports the email, push notification, and text message alerts provided through the alerts service. Please be advised that text or data charges or rates may be imposed by your endpoint service provider. Alert frequency varies by account and preferences.

We strive to provide alerts in a timely manner with accurate information. However, you acknowledge and agree that your receipt of any alerts may be delayed or prevented by factor(s) affecting your mobile phone service provider, internet service provider(s) and other factors outside Dairy State Bank’s control. We neither guarantee the delivery nor the accuracy of the contents of each Alert. You agree to not hold Dairy State Bank, its directors, officers, employees, agents, and service providers liable for losses or damages, including attorneys’ fees, that may arise, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from (a) a non-delivery, delayed delivery, or the misdirected delivery of an Alert; (b) inaccurate or incomplete content in an Alert; or (c) your reliance on or use of the information provided in an Alert for any purpose.

Alert Information. As alerts delivered via SMS, email and push notifications are not encrypted, we will never include your passcode or full account number. You acknowledge and agree that alerts may not be encrypted and may include your name and some information about your accounts, and anyone with access to your alerts will be able to view the contents of these messages.

The charge for each stop payment request will be the current charge for such service as detailed in the Business Fee Schedule. Our ability to process a stop payment request will depend on the payment method and whether final payment has been made.
