This e-Statement Service Agreement ("Agreement") is a contract that governs your ability to receive periodic statements on your accounts electronically by means of an online electronic statement ("e-Statement") service provided by Touchstone Bank (the "Service"). In this Agreement the terms "Bank," "we," "us," and "our" refer to Touchstone Bank, and the terms "you" or "your" refer to the account holder authorized by the Bank to use the Service and anyone else who uses the Service with the permission of the account holder. By using the Service, you agree to, and acknowledge that you have read and understand, the terms and conditions of this Agreement
1) SCOPE OF AGREEMENT
This Agreement governs your use of the Service. The terms and conditions in this Agreement are in addition to, and do not cancel or supersede, any other Bank account agreements (including, without limitation, our Online Banking Agreement), rules, disclosures, procedures, standards, policies, or signature cards relating to your deposits, loans or other business relationships with the Bank (collectively, the "Account Disclosures"). Except as provided in this Agreement, all of the terms, conditions, agreements, disclosures, and fees set forth in the Account Disclosures, as the Bank provides and updates them from time to time, shall remain in full force and effect. If this Agreement conflicts with another agreement or Account Disclosure we have with you, then this Agreement will control and take precedence, only with respect to the Service and only to the extent necessary to resolve the conflict or inconsistency. Additionally, your access to and use of the Service will be subject to all of the terms or instructions that may appear on a screen when you access the Service, and applicable state and federal laws and regulations.
2) ELIGIBILITY FOR THE SERVICE
In order to use the Service you must be a current Touchstone Bank Business eBanking customer, and you must have previously consented to receive disclosures electronically, in accordance with our Agreement. You must be an authorized signer on one or more of our deposit accounts that are eligible for the Service. Most of our deposit accounts that have recurring periodic statements, such as checking, savings, and money market accounts, are eligible for the Service. From time to time we may make other types of accounts eligible for the Service.
3) DESCRIPTION OF THE SERVICE
The Service allows you to access an electronic version of your paper deposit account periodic statement as a PDF (portable document format) that you can view on our Online Banking website, save to your computer, and/or print for your records. You acknowledge that the eStatement PDF is an official statement of record, which is the legal equivalent of the paper written document. If you currently receive images of your cancelled checks with your paper statements, you may also view, save and print online images of the individual checks that posted to your account during the statement period. We will continue to deliver to you by U.S. postal service any legal notices or disclosures that relate to your statements and/or your accounts, such as overdraft/insufficient funds or return item notices and notices of change of terms. From time to time, we may enhance, modify, or delete any feature of the Service in our sole discretion, with appropriate notice to you.
