The accounts that may be accessed via Fidelity eBanking include
only accounts maintained by you with Fidelity Bank. By using
Fidelity eBanking
you agree to abide by the terms and conditions of this Online Access
Agreement. Fidelity eBanking will be governed by and interpreted
in accordance with all applicable federal and State of Texas laws
and regulations. The following rules will apply to
the extent there is no applicable law or regulation. The
account or service you are accessing via Fidelity Bank will
be governed
by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of Texas. The terms
“we”, “us”, “our”, and “Bank”

Accessing
Your Bank Accounts through Fidelity eBanking
To
access your account through Fidelity eBanking you must complete
an enrollment form online and have an eligible Bank Account (Checking
Account, Money Market Checking, Savings Account, and/or loan). Once
Fidelity Bank has processed your enrollment you will receive a mailing
to the address of record on your primary bank account containing
your user access ID and your initial activation password. At that
time you will be ready to begin banking online.
The
activation access ID and password are only good for the initial
login.
You will be prompted to change your access ID and password. Your
new password must be 8-12 characters in length and at least
one
character must be numeric and one alpha. Your password is case
sensitive. Do not give your password to anyone or write it down
where it could
be accessible to another person. We strongly urge you to avoid
using common and easy to decipher passwords such as birth dates,
last
names, account numbers or social security numbers. Do not store
your password and access ID in the memory of your computer.
When
you give someone your access ID and password, you are authorizing
that person to use the service and you are responsible for all transactions
the person performs using the service. All transactions that person
performs, even those transactions you did not intend or want performed,
are authorized transactions. If you notify us that the person is
no longer authorized, then transactions that person performs after
the time you notified us are considered unauthorized. You agree
to assume responsibility for all transactions through the service
with your Fidelity Bank access ID and password, up to the limits
allowed by applicable law.
Transactions
that you or someone acting for you initiates with fraudulent
intent are also authorized transactions.
Bill Pay Service
Bill
Payment services are an optional service. You must select yes for
bill payment on your initial online enrollment form or contact us
at (940) 763-2100 to subscribe to this service. Through Fidelity
eBanking you can arrange for the payment of your current, future,
and recurring bills up to the balance in your account. There is
no limit to the number of payments that may be authorized. You may
pay a merchant or individual approved by Fidelity Bank for payment
through Fidelity eBanking bill pay. We are unable to process any
payments to federal, state, or local tax agencies.
By
furnishing us with the names of your payees/merchants and their
addresses, you authorize us to follow the payment instructions to
these payees/merchants that you provide us. You may pay an unlimited
number of payees using online bill pay. When we receive a payment
instruction, we will remit the funds to the payee on your behalf
from the funds in your selected account on the day you have instructed
them to be sent (“Payment Date”). However, we
shall not be obligated to make any such payment unless your account
and/or overdraft protection plan has sufficient funds or credit
available to pay the bill on the Payment Date. Funds from all bill
payments (whether these payments are made electronically or by check)
will be withdrawn from your account on the payment date specified.
You
have the right to stop or change any scheduled payment. You
must
cancel the payment by no later than 2:00 p.m. (Central Time), on
the Payment Date by calling Fidelity Bank Customer Service at
(940)
763-2100. If your stop payment order is given to the Bank orally,
you are required to confirm it within 14 days of your oral notification.
This written confirmation should be sent to Fidelity Bank, Customer
Service, 2525 Kell Blvd, Suite 100, Wichita Falls, TX 76308.
Your
oral notification will cease to be binding if you fail to confirm
it in writing within 14 days.
Any
payments made with Fidelity eBanking bill pay require sufficient
time for your payee to receive the payment and credit your
account
properly. To avoid incurring a finance charge, you should schedule
a payment at least 7 full business days prior to the date the payment
is due at your payee.
If
you have timely scheduled a bill payment as required above and Fidelity
Bank does not properly complete a bill payment on time or in the
correct amount, we will pay any late fees or finance charges as
long as your account was in good standing with the merchant prior
to this incident. We will also be liable to you, to the extent provided
by law, if we fail to stop a payment pursuant to your timely order
to do so as set out above. We shall not be responsible for any charges
imposed or any other action taken by a payee resulting from a payment
that you have not scheduled properly, including any applicable finance
charges and late fees. We will not be responsible for any charges
imposed or any other action taken by a payee resulting from a payee
incorrectly crediting an account. In addition, we will not be liable
if any third party through which any bill payment is made fails
to properly transmit the payment to the intended payee. We will
also not be liable if there are insufficient funds or credit availability
in your designated payment account and/or overdraft protection plan;
if a legal order directs us to prohibit withdrawals from the payment
account; if the payment account is closed or frozen; or if any part
of the electronic funds transfer system is not working properly.
We will not be liable for any amounts other than as stated above
and, specifically, will not be liable for any other direct, indirect,
special, or consequential damages arising out of the use of Fidelity
eBanking Bill Pay.
Fidelity Bank reserves the right to terminate your use of Fidelity
eBanking Bill Pay at any time.
If, for any reason, you should wish to cancel Fidelity eBanking,
we strongly suggest that you cancel all future bill payments at
the same time that you cancel your service by calling Customer
Service at (940) 763-2100. We will automatically delete all outstanding
payment orders (all individual payments and all recurring payments)
once we have been notified that your service has been terminated.
We will continue to maintain your accounts until you notify us
otherwise.
THE BANK WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY UNAUTHORIZED PAYMENT
OR TRANSFER MADE USING YOUR ACCESS ID AND PASSWORD THAT OCCURS BEFORE
YOU HAVE NOTIFIED US OF POSSIBLE UNAUTHORIZED USE AND WE HAVE HAD
A REASONABLE OPPORTUNITY TO ACT ON THAT NOTICE.
Joint Membership
If
a Fidelity Bank Account is owned by more than one person or is accessible
by one or more authorized representatives, each such owner or authorized
representative may individually enroll in Fidelity eBanking (each
such person is referred to as an “enrolled person”).
Each enrolled person needs a unique access ID and Password. The
terms of this Agreement will apply to each enrolled person. Any
enrolled person may terminate the Fidelity eBanking Service, which
will terminate the Fidelity eBanking Service of all enrolled persons.

to any one claiming to represent Fidelity Bank; Fidelity Bank employees

you give your password to another person, you do so at your own
risk since anyone to whom you give your Fidelity eBanking password
or
other
means of access will have full access to your accounts even if
you
attempt to limit that person’s authority. You must notify
Fidelity Bank that your password has been lost or stolen or otherwise
compromised and should not be honored and must be disabled.
You are liable for all transactions that you (or if you are using

even
if the person you authorize exceeds your authority. You hereby
release Fidelity Bank from any liability and agree not to make
any claim
or bring any action against us for honoring or allowing any actions

the action or transaction to use your account(s) and/or you have
given your password to such person, or, in the case of a jointly
held account such person is one of the owners of the account. You
agree to indemnify Fidelity Bank and hold it harmless from and
against
any and all liability (including but not limited to reasonable
attorney fees) arising from any such claims or actions.

at any time. We will comply with any notice requirements under applicable
law for such changes or termination. If we terminate this Agreement,
no further Fidelity eBanking transfers or bill payments will be

If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 calendar days
to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do
this,
we will credit your account within 10 business days for the amount
you think is in error, so that you will have use of the money

to put your complaint in writing and we do not receive it within
10 business days of your request, we may not credit your account
while we complete our investigation. We will tell you the results

including without limitation the name,
address, account number,
and payment amount for the
payee on a bill payment.
