You agree to follow the instructions of the Bank in effect from time to time with respect to the use of the CWB.digital® Services.

When a password is used to access the CWB.digital® services, the authorization given at that time will be treated as if it was given by you in person, and you agree to be bound by each such authorization and in addition, in the case of transaction services, by each Transaction. You irrevocably authorize and direct the Bank to debit or credit, the amount of any transaction to the account at the time of the transaction, in accordance with the Bank's normal practices. The Bank's practices respecting the debiting or crediting of any transaction under any of the transaction services may be revised from time to time with or without notice to you.

You agree not to conduct or try to conduct any transaction that would result in a negative balance in the account or would exceed the unused balance of any authorized overdraft or line of credit, if available. You agree to indemnify the Bank for all liability or loss arising out of any such transaction.

3. Limitations

You acknowledge that although the Bank uses security safeguards to protect against loss, theft, and unauthorized access, because of the nature of data transmission over the Internet, security is not guaranteed, and information is transmitted at your risk.

You acknowledge that the availability of the CWB.digital® services depends on telecommunication lines, computer hardware and software, and other equipment belonging to the Bank and third parties. You agree the Bank will not be liable for any loss, damage (direct, indirect or consequential), delay or inconvenience whatsoever caused by, or arising from, the provision of, or failure to provide, services or the malfunction or failure to operate any software or equipment for any reason whatsoever. In no event will the Bank be liable for any personal injury, or property damage or any loss of business or profit or other indirect or consequential damages whatsoever.

4. Confidentiality of Password

The password is for your use alone and may not be assigned or transferred. You agree to keep the password confidential and not to disclose it to any person. You agree not to record the password in any manner or on any media, whether in writing or otherwise, including without limitation in electronic form, or by voicemail or e-mail. For security reasons, the Bank recommends that you change your password on a regular basis, such as every ninety (90) to one hundred and twenty (120) days or if you believe that the password may have become known to a third party.

5. Transaction Verification and Records

All Transactions are subject to verification and acceptance by the Bank, and if not accepted will be reversed from the Account. Verification may take place on a date later than the date you authorized the Transaction, which may affect the Transaction date.

The Bank's records of each Transaction, and the Bank's accounting records, will be deemed to be correct, and will be conclusive and binding upon you. Any record of a Transaction generated by the Bank will be for your convenience only. If you believe that the Bank's records contain an error or omission, you must give written notice of the suspected error or omission to the Bank within the time provided in the Account Agreement.

If the Bank makes an error or omission in recording any Transaction, the Bank will only be liable for the amount of the error or omission if you have given written notice to the Bank within the time provided in the Account Agreement. If you have given such notice, the Bank's liability is limited to the amount of the error or omission, plus any applicable Service Charges that may have been charged to you by the Bank. Specifically, you agree that the Bank will not be liable for any other loss, or any loss of business or profit or any other damage (direct or indirect or consequential) or delay or inconvenience whatsoever caused by or arising from any such error or omission.

6. Transaction Processing

Except for a transaction which is authorized to take effect on a future date (which can be revoked or countermanded prior to such date), once the password is used by you to conduct a transaction by accessing the CWB.digital® Services, you may not revoke or stop any such transaction once the transaction request has been processed. When you use the transaction Services to make bill payments from the Account, transfer funds to another customer's account or otherwise transfer funds out of the Account, you are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of any billing account number, customer
account numbers or other recipient account numbers to which you intend to transfer funds. The Bank will not be liable for any loss or damage because of funds being transferred to the wrong recipient caused by you providing the wrong account number. The Bank will not be responsible or obligated to retrieve or return such funds to you. The Bank reserves the right to apply daily limits and transaction limits.

You acknowledge and agree that bill payments made through the CWB.digital ® Services are not processed immediately and that it is your responsibility to ensure that bill payments are initiated in sufficient time for the payment to be received by the bill payment recipient before its due date. The Bank will not be liable for any cost, expense, loss, damage or inconvenience of any nature or kind whatsoever arising because of a delay in the processing of bill payments.

Note: Payments made in the same amount on the same day to the same vendor will cause one of the payments to reject.

7. E-Transfers

E-Transfers are only available in Canadian dollars. The Account will be debited as soon as you initiate an E-Transfer and the Bank may hold the E-Transfer amount until the recipient successfully claims the E-Transfer or the E-Transfer is cancelled. The Bank has no obligation to pay and will not pay interest on an E-Transfer amount for any reason. To the extent permitted at law, the Bank is deemed to have a security interest in an E-Transfer amount from the time the account is debited until the recipient successfully claims the E-Transfer or the E-Transfer is cancelled. E-Transfers sent and received through CWB.digital® are subject to number and dollar limits that may change from time to time without prior notice to you. An E-Transfer notice advising the recipient of the E-Transfer will be generated approximately 30 minutes after you originate the E-Transfer. If you are the sender, you agree to keep the E-Transfer answer that you share with the recipient (the "E-Transfer Answer") confidential and agree that you will not disclose it or share it with anyone but the intended recipient. The recipient must correctly provide the E-Transfer Answer to claim or decline the E-Transfer. The Bank, the receiving financial institution, their clearing organizations, and service providers are entitled to pay an E-Transfer amount to anyone who, using the E-Transfer process, claims to be the recipient and successfully provides the E-Transfer Answer. The Bank will not be liable for losses or damages incurred because of a person other than the intended recipient guessing or obtaining the E-Transfer Answer. If you are the sender of an E-Transfer, you agree not to include the E-Transfer Answer in the transfer details. If you are the recipient of an E-Transfer, you agree not to disclose the E¬ Transfer Answer except as required to claim or decline the E-Transfer.

The recipient may claim an E-Transfer using the online banking services of the recipient's financial institution. If the recipient declines an E-Transfer that you initiated, the E-Transfer will be returned to you. While funds are expected to arrive in the recipient's account within 3 to 5 business days from the day the recipient successfully claims an E-Transfer, the Bank does not guarantee the date of deposit. If the recipient successfully claims the E-Transfer but provides incorrect account information, the Bank's clearing organization or its agent may request correct account information from the recipient or may initiate another claim process.

If you are the sender, an E-Transfer will be returned to you:
i) if the recipient does not claim the E-Transfer within 30 days of the date the E-Transfer is initiated.
ii) if the E-Transfer cannot be successfully sent to the recipient's electronic address as provided by you; or
iii) if the recipient declines the E-Transfer.

You are responsible for providing the recipient's correct electronic contact information and as a condition of using the Bank's E-Transfer service, agree that the recipient has consented to your collection, use and disclosure of the recipient's electronic contact information for E-Transfers, including without limitation, to its disclosure to the Bank, the recipient's financial institution, the Bank's clearing organization and their service providers.

The Bank may cancel an E-Transfer if it has reason to believe that a mistake has occurred or if it believes that the E¬ Transfer is a product of unlawful or fraudulent activity. If you are the sender, you may cancel an E-Transfer up to the time the recipient successfully claims it. If you are the recipient of an E-Transfer, you acknowledge that an E-Transfer may be cancelled up to the time you successfully claim the E-Transfer.

The Bank may cancel, suspend or refuse to provide an E-Transfer for you or the E-Transfer service at any time in its discretion. The Bank will not be liable for any cost, expense, loss, damage, or inconvenience of any nature or kind whatsoever arising as a result of a delay in processing an E-Transfer or for an E-Transfer claimed by someone other than the intended recipient. The Bank will not be responsible or liable for any losses or damages incurred as a result of funds held and/or limits set by the Bank, its clearing organization or any service provider. All disputes regarding E¬ Transfers will be handled directly between the sender and the recipient.

8. Stop Cheque Payments and Cancellation

A stop payment is an instruction by you to the Bank to refuse payment if that cheque is presented to the Bank for payment. A cancellation of stop payment negates a stop payment. You acknowledge that the Bank cannot stop payment of a cheque which has cleared your Account or has been negotiated at a Bank branch and a cheque can only be stopped if all information required by the on-screen prompts is provided including the number of the Account and the serial number, date and amount of that cheque. The Bank may accept your instruction to stop payment on a cheque without determining whether the cheque has been honoured on presentment. You agree that the Bank is not liable for any cost, expense, loss, damage or inconvenience of any nature or kind whatsoever arising from the Bank complying or failing to comply with a stop payment or a cancel of a stop payment.

9. Stop Preauthorized Payment

A stop preauthorized payment is an instruction by you to the Bank to refuse payment if the preauthorized payment is presented on the Bank. You acknowledge that the Bank cannot stop a preauthorized payment which has been paid on your account and the payment can only be stopped if all information required by the on-screen prompts is provided including the number of the account, payee, reason and the serial number, next payment date, start date, end date and amount of that payment to be stopped. The Bank may accept your instruction to stop a preauthorized payment without determining whether the payment has been honoured. You agree that the Bank is not liable for any cost, expense, loss, damage or inconvenience of any nature or kind whatsoever arising from the Bank complying or failing to comply with a stop preauthorized payment.

10. Your Liability

You are responsible for each transaction carried out through the use or misuse of the password. All transactions will have the same effect as if signed in accordance with the Account Agreement. The Bank will not be liable in any way to any person, including you, or one or more joint account holders, for transactions even if funds from the Account are used for the benefit of only one joint account holders or of anyone other than you. You are responsible for verifying the completeness of every transaction that you initiate using CWB.digital® services.

You agree to notify the Bank immediately, in writing, if you believe that your password may have become known to anyone other than you.

You are liable for all unauthorized use of the password until such notification is made and acknowledged, in writing, by the Bank. Until the Bank's acknowledgment is received by you, notification is not deemed to be acknowledged by the Bank.

If you are the joint holder of the Account, then each joint holder of the Account will be jointly and severally liable for all Transactions conducted using the CWB.digital® services with the respect to the Account.

In no event shall the Bank be responsible or liable at law or in equity for any claim, demand or loss, whether based on contract, tort (including negligence), or any other theory of liability, or for direct, indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages (including loss of profits) howsoever caused as a result of a password becoming known to or used by third parties.
