We will issue one initial Access Code to your Account
Administrator which will allow you to gain initial access to all of the
services available to you using the Commercial Net Banking Services. You
understand and agree that upon receipt of your initial Access Code, you must
cause your Account Administrator to immediately change your initial Access Code
to a new Access Code selected by you and thereafter you will have full access
to perform all of the services we provide to you through the Commercial Net
Banking Services. You agree that your Account Administrator has the authority
to utilize the full range of Commercial Net Banking Services available to you
on your behalf. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Account
Administrator will be fully authorized to act on your behalf to: |
|
(a) |

Your Liability

others. In this regard, you must not select an Access Code containing your

an Access Code that is the same as any personal identification number (or PIN)
you may use with any client card that has been issued to you. You understand
and agree that you are solely responsible for all Transactions effected using
any Access Code. You agree to disclose Access Codes only to those individuals
authorized to use the Commercial Net Banking Services or a particular level of
service in the Commercial Net Banking Services. Anyone to whom you disclose
your Access Codes and anyone who has access to your Access Codes will have full
access to the services you can perform on the Commercial Net Banking Services,
including full access to your Accounts. The person’s authority will be limited
only to the extent that your Account Administrator established the Access Code
with limitations on the services that could be performed using the Access Code.We
are entitled to, and do assume, that all communications and Transactions
containing proper Access Codes are authorized by you and we are entitled to act
upon those communications and you will be bound by any Transaction performed by
any Authorized User using an Access Code. You assume full
responsibility and liability for the consequences of any misuse or unauthorized
use of or access to the Commercial Net Banking Services or disclosure of any
confidential information or instructions of yours by your employees, agents or
other third parties that gained access to your Access Codes. It is solely your
responsibility to disable or remove the Access Codes of employees who no longer
work for you. Failure to disable access of former employees by you could result
in financial loss to you. You agree to hold us harmless for any loss due to
your failure to disable or remove Access Codes of former employees or employees
whose status has changed from Authorized User to unauthorized. The use of the
Access Code as a security measure supersedes any other security procedures in
agreements you have with us relating to operation of your Accounts. |

We will NOT contact you to ask for your user ID or Access Codes.
If you are approached by anyone to provide your Access Codes, DO NOT PROVIDE
THIS INFORMATION. Contact us immediately as you could be the victim of

from your Account or Accounts without your permission, you have the duty and
responsibility to change these Access Codes immediately. |
