transactions include transactions using the Service, transactions using
our telephone response system and other withdrawals which you have

(a) Privacy
We
understand how important privacy is to our customers/members. We
have taken steps to protect the privacy and security of your personal
information as well as your financial transactions with us. You
should read our privacy notice before completing the enrollment process
for the Service. Privacy Policy
(b) Internet Security
The
Service utilizes a comprehensive security strategy to protect your
accounts and transactions conducted over the Internet. Prior to activating
your access to the Service, our Internet Banking department will verify
your identity and authorization against information associated with
the Eligible account(s) that you request to be tied to the service.
Access
IDs and Passcodes - One of the main security features protecting
the Service is the unique combination of your Access Identification
Code (Access ID) and Passcode. During the enrollment process, you will
be asked to select a unique Access ID, and then choose a Passcode
that will be used to gain access to the Service. You determine
your own Passcode.
Because
your Passcode is used to access your accounts, you should treat it
as you would any other sensitive personal data. You should carefully
select a Passcode that is hard to guess. We encourage you to stay away
from words based on your name, address or other personal information.
Your Passcode must meet the following minimum requirements:
· It
must be at least seven (7) characters long.
· It
must contain at least 1 alpha and 1 numeric character.
· It
must not be based upon any personal information you have provided to
us.
Note: Special characters may be used to increase security. Do NOT use
dictionary words. The “Help” link within the Service will offer
tips on choosing a secure Passcode that you can remember.
Keep
your Passcode safe. Memorize your Passcode and do NOT write
it down. You should also change your Passcode occasionally, such
as every 90 days. A Passcode should be changed immediately if
you suspect that your Passcode has been compromised. This can
be done at any time from the “User Services” menu after you log on
to the Service.
We will not contact you via telephone or via email requesting your
Access ID or Passcode. If you are contacted by anyone requesting
this information, please contact us immediately.
If
you disclose or do not properly protect your passcode, and/or if you
allow someone to use your passcode to access your accounts, you are
authorizing them to act on your
behalf and you will be responsible for any use of the system by them
(e.g. such as when you provide this information to a joint account
holder, spouse, and/or an aggregation service provider).
Log-On Security – For your protection, you should sign-off after
every Internet banking session. However, in order to help prevent
unauthorized access to your account(s) your online session will end
automatically if we detect no activity for 10 minutes. This is to protect
you in case you accidentally leave your computer unattended after you
logged on. When you return to your computer, you will be prompted to
re-enter your Passcode, and your session will continue where you left
off. In addition, we will lockout your account after three unsuccessful
logon attempts within a 24-hour time frame.
Encryption – The Service uses the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption
technology for everything you do while using Internet banking. Your
browser automatically activates this technology when it attempts to
connect to our Service. Our Service requires a browser that supports
128-bit encryption.
Whenever
SSL is securing your communications, the browser will typically indicate
this secure session by changing the appearance of a small icon
of a padlock at the bottom of the screen from open to locked. What
this means to you is that your communications are scrambled from your
browser to our servers at all times so no unauthorized party can read
the information as it is carried over the Internet.
Certificate Authority - The servers hosting our Service have been certified
by a "Certificate Authority" to assure you that you are actually
talking to our Service instead of someone pretending to be us. If you
are using an older browser, such as anything prior to versions 4.0
on Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer, you will see that the "Certificate
Authorities" key may have expired; you will need to update it
on your browser. Instructions for upgrading your browser are located
on the Browser SSL Update link, which is located on the Service login
page.
Cookies - During your use of the Service, our Internet banking Service
Provider will pass an encrypted cookie to your computer in order
to identify your computer during the session. This cookie enables
us to process multiple transactions during the session without having
to provide an Access ID and Passcode for each individual transaction. Users
must accept this cookie to use our Internet banking product. This
cookie does not contain any personal information; it simply provides
another level of security for our Internet banking product. The
cookie is stored on your computer’s hard-drive, identifying your computer
while you are logged on. When you log off, close your browser,
or turn off your machine, the cookie will be destroyed. A new
cookie is used for each session; thus, no one can use the prior cookie
to access your account.
Use of Public Computers –– The security of public computers (e.g.
in a Library, or Internet café) cannot be assured; therefore we strongly
recommend that our customers refrain from accessing online accounts
on a public computer.
In
addition to the security features described above, there may be other
security related notices posted on our website or Service from time
to time. It is your responsibility to read all security notices.
Notwithstanding our efforts to ensure that the Service
is secure, we cannot and do not warrant that all data transfers via
the Service will be free from monitoring or access by others.
When you accept the terms and conditions of this Agreement
below, you agree to
1. Keep
your Passcode secure and strictly confidential, providing it only to
authorized signers on your eligible account(s).
2. Immediately
notify us and select a new passcode if you believe your passcode may
have become known to an unauthorized person. 304-369-2407, Internet
banking customer service department.
3. You
also understand that you are responsible for all transactions you authorize
using the Service. If you permit other persons to use the Service
or your Passcode, you are responsible for any transactions they authorize.
17. Alterations and Amendments
This
Agreement, applicable fees and service charges may be altered or amended
from time-to-time. In such event, we will provide notice to you. Further,
we may, from time-to-time, revise or update the applications, Service
features, and/or related material, which may render all such prior
versions obsolete. Consequently, we reserve the right to terminate
this Agreement as to all such prior versions of the applications, services,
and/or related material and limit access to only the Service's more
recent revisions and updates.
Also,
if a change in term(s) or condition(s) is necessary to maintain or
restore the security of our system or your account(s), no advance notice
is required. Upon notification of any change in terms, if you do not
agree with the change(s), you must notify us in writing or via email
to cancel your access to the Service.
Any
use of the Service after we provide you a notice of change will constitute
your agreement to such change(s).

by separate agreements with you. This Agreement supplements any
other agreement(s) or disclosures related to your account(s) and provided

transaction the Service has already approved and processed before the
requested cancellation date will be completed by the Service. All
scheduled bill payments, including recurring payments, will not be
processed once we have had a reasonable opportunity to act upon your
cancellation request. Once we have acted on your notice, we have
no further responsibility to make any payments or previously authorized
transactions.
You
will remain responsible for any fees associated with the Service prior
to the effective cancellation date.

prior notice due to insufficient funds in one of your accounts or other
circumstances that may create an unanticipated liability to us. If
your account(s) is closed or restricted for any reason, or if there
has not been any Internet Banking or Bill Payment Activity for a period
of 90 consecutive days, Internet banking accessibility will automatically
