In this agreement "you", "your", and "yours"
refers to each of you that will be using the Thomaston Savings
Bank Day and Night ("TSBDaN SM ") online banking services
described in this agreement. "We", "us", "ours", and "Bank"
refers to Thomaston Savings Bank. "Account" refers to the
deposit and credit accounts you can access through TSBDaN online

conditions governing the TSBDaN online banking services for
which you have applied. TSBDaN is an electronic banking and
information service, which permits you through the use of your
personal computer to access your deposit and credit accounts
through the Internet using a browser.
1. Use of TSBDaN Online Banking. To become
eligible to use TSBDaN, you must apply for Internet Banking
on-line on our web site. When your application is accepted, and
we have validated your enrollment information, we will send you
a temporary Access ID and Password in separate mailings. You
will need both of these to complete your initial logon and begin
banking online! Further instruction with regard to the use of
TSBDaN will be provided online. Before you use TSBDaN you should
read this Agreement and the instructions we send you, which
describe TSBDaN in greater detail. Your use of any of the TSBDaN
services means that you agree to the terms and conditions stated
in this Agreement and the instructions we provide you.
2. Deposit and Credit Agreements. The terms
and conditions in this Agreement are in addition to any deposit
account, credit account or other agreement you have with us
relating to your Accounts, including any disclosures made
pursuant to such agreements. You must maintain your Accounts in
good standing with us in order to perform transactions in those
Accounts through our TSBDaN.
3. Equipment Requirements. In this Agreement,
the term "Computer" shall mean your computer and modem. The
installation, maintenance and operation of your Computer
equipment, including, but not limited to, your computer modem,
internet browser and the internet access through your internet
access provider is your responsibility. The instructions for
TSBDaN describe the type of Computer and Internet browser you
need to access TSBDaN. We are not responsible for any errors or
failures from any malfunction of your computer, and we are not
responsible for any computer virus or related problems that may
be associated with the use of TSBDaN. WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES
REGARDING YOUR USE OF TSBDAN, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT
NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Your personal software may
include other functions and features (such as home online
budgeting and mortgage comparisons), which are not associated
with TSBDaN, and we are not responsible for them either. You
agree that we are not responsible for any failure or loss caused
if any personal financial software you use or any of your
personal hardware or software is not compatible with our system.
4. Description of TSBDaN Online Banking.
Depending on the services requested by you in your Application,
TSBDaN allows you to perform some or all of the following
functions for your designated Accounts:
- Obtain account balances and transaction
information for your statement savings and checking Accounts
- Retrieve images of Thomaston Savings Bank
checks.
- Transfer funds between your statement
savings and checking Accounts
- Obtain loan balances and make loan
payments to Thomaston Savings Bank loans
- Make payments to any person or business
(a "payee") in the United States
- Schedule and make future payments
- Set up automatic, recurring future
payments
- Review, change and cancel payments
- Inquire about specific payments
- Send Stop Payment/Cancellation orders for
bill payments that have not yet been transmitted.
These features of TSBDaN are limited by and
subject to the terms set forth below:
(A) Your ability to transfer funds from your
statement savings and money market accounts is limited by
federal law, as stated in your Combined Deposit Contract. By law
there are a limited number of transfers from these accounts per
monthly statement cycle initiated on your computer (or by means
of telephone, wire or preauthorized transfers), as described in
our Combined Deposit Contract.
(B) There may be a one (1) business day delay
in transferring funds between designated Accounts depending upon
the day and time on which you request the transfer. Transfers
are subject to funds availability.
(C) You can access your Overdraft Line of
Credit ("Check NetSM") when you overdraw your Account using
TSBDaN. A transfer from Check NetSM will be treated as a loan
advance from that Account and is subject to the Agreement that
governs that Account.
(D) No transfers may be made from any account
that requires two or more signatures
(E) Balance and transaction information
provided on any day may be current only as of the close of
business on the preceding business day. Transactional
information for your checking accounts will be available from
the date you begin using TSBDaN for a period of forty-five days
after your current statement cycle. Transaction information for
statement savings accounts will be available for longer periods.
(F) E-mail sent by you will not be immediately
received by us. See Section 9 if you need to contact us
immediately (for example, to report an unauthorized transaction
from an Account or to stop payment on a check). No action will
be made on your e-mail request until we actually receive your
message and have a reasonable opportunity to act. You cannot use
e-mail to transfer funds between accounts or to conduct
transactions. You must follow the instructions for TSBDaN to
accomplish these activities.
E-mail transmissions through general or public
e-mail are not secure. We therefore request that you do not send
us or ask for sensitive information such as account numbers,
User Name or Password through any general or public e-mail
system. If you wish to contact us electronically, please use the
"Contact Us" form provided on our web pages.
(G) For your protection, we have set maximum
dollar limits on your transactions through TSBDaN as follows:(i)
the maximum dollar amount of payments that you may schedule in
advance per day is $5,000, (ii) the maximum amount of any one
transaction that you may conduct through TSBDaN is $5,000, (iii)
the maximum amount of TSBDaN transactions that you can conduct
per day is $5,000. If these limits do not meet your needs, you
should contact the Bank.
(H) For security reasons, we may place other
limitations on the frequency and dollar amount of transfers from
your Accounts.
(I) After we receive your authorization for
payment to any payee, the payment amount will be debited from
your designated Account. The payment will be made by either
transferring funds electronically to the payee or by sending a
check to the payee. By authorizing a payment, you authorize us
to debit your Account for the payment amount without your
signature. We may honor online payment requests, checks,
electronic payments, withdrawal tickets or instruments drawn on
your Account in any order, which we decide. You must have enough
available funds (as described in our Availability of Funds
Policy) in your Account to complete the payment and should be
aware that other transactions (such as ATM, Point of Sale, or
in-branch withdrawals) may affect your Account balances.
(J) Your bill payment instructions should be
received at least four (4) business days before the business day
on which a payment is due. Payment instructions received on
weekends and holidays will be considered received on the next
business day. We are not responsible for delays in delivery of
payments caused by the U.S. Postal Service, so you must
authorize your bill payment in such a manner that your payments
will be made on time. Any late payment or finance charges that
may be imposed as a result of your failure to transmit payment
instructions at least four (4) business days, as applicable,
before a payment is to be made will be your responsibility.
Section 10 limits our responsibility for any late payment or
finance charges.
(K) Only payees with United States addresses
may be paid using TSBDaN. We reserve the right to refuse to pay
certain payees.
(L) TSBDaN services may be used to authorize
automatic recurring payments of recurring bills. These payments
must be for the same amount each month and they will be paid on
the same calendar day of each month, or on the following
business day if the regular payment day falls on a weekend or
holiday.
(M) When you have entered and transmitted a
payment instruction, you authorize us to reduce the Account
balance accordingly. If the available balance in the Account
(including any Check NetSM ) is not sufficient to make payments
you have authorized, we may either refuse to pay the item or at
our sole discretion we may make the payment and thereby overdraw
the Account. In either event, you are responsible for any
non-sufficient funds, overdraft and other charges we will
impose, as stated in the Schedule of Charges.
(N) We reserve the right to refuse to honor
payment requests that reasonably appear to us to be fraudulent
or erroneous.
(O) The following steps may be taken to void
or stop bill payments:
- Canceling payments. If you have requested
a future or recurring payment, but the Transmission Date has
not yet arrived, you may use TSBDaN online banking services
to cancel or edit the payment (if, for example, a payment
date or amount is incorrect) if the canceling or editing
request is transmitted at least four (4) business days prior
to the Transmission Date. The Transmission Date is the day
on which the payment is scheduled to be sent, not the
payment due date.You will be responsible for the payment if
the cancellation or editing request is not received at least
four (4) business days prior to the Transmission Date and
you fail to stop the payment.
- Stopping Regular and Automatic Recurring
Payments. If you do not have access to your computer and you
wish to stop payment, call or write to us at the phone
number or address set forth in Section 9 in time for us to
receive your request four (4) business days or more before
the payment is scheduled to be made. If you call, we will
also require you to put your request in writing and get it
to us within 14 calendar days after you call. We may charge
your Account our regular fee for each stop payment order you
give. We will not be responsible for failing to act on a
stop payment if you do not give us the payee information or
if we do not have a reasonable opportunity to honor the stop
payment order.
- Liability for Failure to Stop Payment of
Automatic Recurring Payments. If you order us to stop one of
your automatic recurring payments four (4) business days or
more before the Transmission Date, and we do not do so, we
will be liable for your losses or damages. We are not
responsible for any indirect, incidental, special or
consequential damages if our failure was not intentional and
resulted from a bona fide error, notwithstanding our
procedures to avoid such error.
(P) We may modify TSBDaN from time to time in
accordance with applicable law. Additional services or accounts
may become accessible through TSBDaN in the future. As each
becomes available you will be provided with a description of
each such service or account and fees and will be given the
opportunity to access each through TSBDaN. Your use of these new
services or accounts shall mean that you agree to any additional
terms and conditions as well as payment of fees. Also, we
reserve the right to delete or modify any services or accounts
from TSBDaN.
5. Access ID(s) and Password(s). During your
first use of TSBDaN, you are required to select a password,
which will be needed to gain access to TSBDaN. You agree to keep
the Access ID and Password confidential to prevent unauthorized
access to your Accounts and to prevent unauthorized use of
TSBDaN. Your User Name and Password may be revoked or canceled
at any time without giving you prior notice to assist us in
maintaining the security of your Accounts. The AccessID and
Password are used to identify you as an authorized user of
TSBDaN. You therefore agree to notify us immediately if the
secrecy of your Access ID and Password is compromised and you
also agree not to reveal your Access ID and Password to any
person. The security of your Accounts depends upon you
maintaining the secrecy of your Access ID and Password. If you
believe that the secrecy of your Access ID and Password has been
compromised you should call us AT ONCE at the number in Section
9, and you should change your Password by following the online
help instructions.
We recommend that you change your Password
often. If you forget your Password, you must contact us to have
a new Password issued to you. It may take several days before
you receive this new Password. Retain your Access ID and
Password in a secure location and separate from your computer.
6. Periodic Statements. Your periodic
statements for your Accounts will include any transfers or bill
payments you authorize using TSBDaN, as well as your other
account activity. We may elect not to return your checks to you
with your statement.
7. Business Days and Hours of Operation. For
the purposes of this Agreement, our business days include every
day other than Saturday, Sunday or one of the state federal
holidays that we observe. TSBDaN can only make transfers and
bill payments on business days although you may use your
Computer to use TSBDaN 24 hours a day, seven days a week, except
during any special maintenance periods.
8. Your Liability. You are responsible for all
transfers and bill payments you authorize using TSBDaN. If
despite the prohibition on giving your User Name and Password to
any person, you permit other persons to use TSBDaN or your User
Name or Password, you are responsible for any transactions they
authorize from your Accounts.
Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your User
Name or Password has been lost or stolen. Telephoning, as
provided in Section 9, is the best way of keeping your possible
losses down. You could lose all the money in your deposit
accounts (plus your maximum Check NetSM line of credit. If you
tell us within two (2) business days, you can lose no more than
$50 from each deposit Account if someone used your User Name or
Password to access your deposit Account without your permission.
If you do NOT tell us within two (2) business days after you
learn of the loss or theft of your User Name or Password, and we
can prove we could have stopped someone from using your User
Name or Password without your permission if you had told us, you
could lose as much as $500 from each deposit Account.
Also, if your statement shows transfers
from a deposit Account that you did not make, tell us at once.
If you do not tell us within 60 days after the statement was
mailed to you, you may not get back any money you lost after the
60 days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from
taking the money if you had told us in time. If a good reason
(such as a long trip or hospital stay) kept you from telling us,
we will extend the time periods. With regard to your Check NetSM
Account, refer to your Check NetSM Agreements for any applicable
limitations on your liability in connection with unauthorized
use of your Check NetSM Account.
9. Contact in Event of Lost or Stolen User
Name or Password or Unauthorized Transactions. If you believe
that your User Name or Password has been lost or stolen or that
someone transferred or may transfer money from your Account
without your permission, call us immediately at: 860-283-1874
and ask for the Operations Department or write us at:

10. Our Liability. We will be responsible for
your actual losses if they were directly caused by our failure
to complete a transfer to or from your Accounts on time or in
the correct amount according to our agreements with you.
However, there are some exceptions. We will
not be liable, for instance:
(a) If, through no fault of ours, you do not
have enough money in your Account to complete a transaction
from that Account, or if withdrawals from any of your
Accounts have been prohibited by a court order such as a
garnishment or other legal process, or if that Account has
been closed.
(b) If the transfer or bill payment would
go over the credit limit on your Check NetSM Account.
(c) If you have not properly followed your
TSBDaN help screen instructions on how to make a transfer or
bill payment or if your Computer, computer software or other
equipment fails or malfunctions.
(d) If you have not given us complete,
correct and current instructions so that we can make a
transfer or bill payment.
(e) If you do not authorize a bill payment
soon enough for your payment to be made and properly
credited by the payee by the time it is due.
(f) If we make a timely bill payment but
the payee nevertheless does not credit your payment promptly
after receipt.
(g) If we have reason to believe that a
transaction has not been properly authenticated or is
fraudulent.
(h) If TSBDaN was not working properly and
you knew or should have known about the breakdown when you
attempted to authorize a transfer or bill payment.
(i) If circumstances beyond our control
prevent the making of a transfer or payment, despite
reasonable precautions that we have taken. Such
circumstances include delays or losses of payments caused by
the U.S. Postal Service, equipment failure or breakdown,
acts of God or other conditions beyond our control. We will
be responsible for acting only on those instructions sent
through TSBDaN that we actually receive.
(j) For other exceptions to our liability
as stated in the Electronic Fund Transfer Agreement.
(k) Thomaston Savings Banks sole
responsibility for an error in a transfer will be to correct
the error, but in no case shall the Bank be liable for any
indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages,
except to the extent such limitation of liability is not
permitted by law.
11. Error Resolution. In case of errors or
questions about your TSBDaN transactions, contact us
immediately. Telephone us at: 860-283-1874 and ask for the
Operations Department or write us at:

FIRST statement on which the problem or error appeared. You

If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 days to
investigate your complaint or question. (If the complaint or
question concerned a transaction that occurred within 30 days of
the first transaction to your Account, we may take up to 90 days
to complete our investigation). If we decide to do this, we will
recredit your deposit Account within ten (10) business days for
the amount you think is in error (or within 20 business days if
the error occurred within 30 days of the first deposit to your
account), so that you will have the use of the money during the

put your complaint or question in writing and we do not receive
it within ten (10) business days, we may not recredit your
deposit Account.

that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation.
