It also contains important disclosure information relating to electronic funds transfers made through the Service. By subscribing to the Service or using the Service to access Account information, or to make any transfer between Accounts or payment to a third party ("Payee(s)"), you agree to the terms of this Agreement. Access to Account information, transfers between Accounts and payments to Payees drawn on or debited against your Accounts, are referred to as "Transactions." "Services Guide" means any other instructions, software and manuals, including those online, relating to the Service. "Agreement" means this Internet Banking Agreement and the Services Guide, as may be amended or replaced. In the event of a conflict between this Internet Banking Agreement and the Services Guide, the Internet Banking Agreement shall control. By using any new services that are made available, you agree to be bound by any terms and conditions that we communicate to you concerning the services.
"Account(s)" mean the checking, Money Market, savings accounts, or other accounts designated by you for access through the Service, including your designated Payment Account. In our sole discretion, we may refuse to include, or may exclude from continued use, an Account in the Service. The words "we", "us" and "our" refer to Academy Bank, N.A., the bank which holds the Deposit Accounts accessed by the Service, and any agent, independent contractor or assignee Academy Bank may, in its sole discretion, involve in the provision of the Service. The words "you" and "your" refer to each person subscribing to the Service and each person who uses the Service with the permission of the subscriber.
"Business Days" are Monday through Friday, except legal holidays. You can use the Service on the days and during the hours specified in the Services Guide, except during maintenance periods. However, we can process transactions only on Business Days. "Banking Day" means that part of any Business Day on which we are open to the public for carrying on substantially all of our banking functions.
Much of our relationship with you is regulated by state and federal law, including the Uniform Commercial Code, and regulations of the Federal Reserve System, other regulatory agencies and clearinghouse associations. These laws and regulations, as well as the terms of the Agreement, may change from time to time without notice to you unless required by law. Your continued use of the Service following receipt of the Agreement or notice of a change is considered acceptance of the Agreement or change. Notice of a change may be made by mail or electronically.

RECOGNITION OF A CUSTOMER'S EXPECTATION OF PRIVACY
We recognize the importance of keeping your personal and financial information accurate and confidential at all times. We handle this information carefully because we value the trust you place in us when you decide to become our customer.
Categories of information we collect
We collect personal and financial information about you from the following sources:
- Information we receive from you on applications or other forms
- Information about your transactions with us or other third parties (but not other banks within our family of banks).
- Information we receive from a consumer reporting agency
COLLECTION, RETENTION, AND USE OF CUSTOMER INFORMATION
We collect, retain, and use information about you in accordance with regulatory requirements, to enhance the quality of service and products we provide, and to inform you about additional opportunities that may be beneficial.

- To reputable information reporting agencies such as credit bureaus
- In order to complete a transaction initiated by you
- At your request
- In response to legal process (for example, a subpoena that complies with applicable right to financial privacy laws)
- To persons who provide us with products or services that help us furnish banking services to you (for example, check printers, appraisers, loan processors, etc.)
If you decide to close your account(s) or become an inactive customer, we will continue to adhere to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
MAINTAINING CUSTOMER PRIVACY IN BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS WITH THIRD PARTIES
We may disclose all of the information we collect, as described above, to companies that provide us with products or services that help us furnish banking services to you (for example, check printers, appraisers, loan processors, etc.). If we do so, we will insist (through a written agreement) that such person follow privacy principles similar to those stated in this Privacy Policy.
MAINTENANCE OF ACCURATE INFORMATION
We continually strive to maintain complete and accurate information about you and your accounts. If you ever believe that our records contain inaccurate or incomplete information, please notify us. We will investigate your concerns and correct any inaccuracies.
Confidentiality and security
We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with Federal regulations to guard your personal and financial information. Our employees do not access your personal or financial information unless they have a business reason to have access to this information. We educate our employees on the importance of maintaining the confidentiality of your personal and financial information and on this Privacy Policy.
DISCLOSURE OF PRIVACY POLICY TO CUSTOMERS
We recognize and respect your privacy expectations. We want you to understand our commitment to privacy in our use of your personal and financial information. As a result of our commitment to you, we have developed this Privacy Policy and wish to make it readily available to you.
PRIVACY INFORMATION SPECIFIC TO INTERNET USAGE
- When you visit our website (www.academybankco.com), we want to assure you that we adhere to this Privacy Policy.
- We collect and store information about "hits" on our website for internal review purposes only. Such information may include the name of the domain from which you access the Internet (such as Compuserve.com or att.net), the date and time you access our site, and the Internet address of the website from which you linked to us. This information enables us to see how you use our website and keep our website user-friendly.
- Our website does not require you disclose any personally identifying information. However, if you do provide personal information, such as your mailing and e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers, or demographic and customer identification, we will not disclose (share, sell, or divulge) it to persons outside our family of banks except:
- In order to complete a transaction initiated by you
- At your request
- In response to legal process (for example, a subpoena that complies with applicable right to financial privacy laws)
- To persons who provide us with products or services that help us furnish banking services to you (for example, check printers, appraisers, loan processors, etc.)
- In order to provide better service, we will occasionally use a "cookie." A cookie is a small piece of information, which a website stores on your PC for later retrieval. The cookie cannot be read by a website other than the one that set the cookie. We use cookies for a number of administrative purposes, for example, to store preferences for certain kinds of information or to store a password so that it does not have to be input for every visit someone makes to our site. Most cookies last only through a single session, or visit. None will contain information that will enable anyone to contact the visitor via telephone, e-mail, or regular mail. In addition, web browsers can be set to inform the visitor when cookies are set or to prevent cookies from being set.
- We do not knowingly solicit information from children and we do not market specifically to children. We recognize that protecting children's identities and privacy on-line is important and that the responsibility to do so rests with parents and the on-line industry.
DISCLOSURES
This Privacy Policy will be provided to each new customer at the time the customer relationship is established. Additionally, a copy of this Privacy Policy will be mailed to all customers once per calendar year. Anyone may receive a copy of this Privacy Policy upon request.
PROTECTING ONLINE APPLICATIONS
When you apply online for accounts or services, or enroll in online banking, you provide personal information that is necessary for us to process your application.
We, along with the outside companies with which we work, if applicable, may keep the information you provide to us, along with information we collect from outside sources, so that we can offer you accounts and services related to your financial needs.
HYPERTEXT LINKS
You may access other websites that have been selected by Academy Bank from our website through a hypertext link. When leaving the Academy Bank website through a hypertext link, a banner will appear advising you that we do not endorse any information or additional information that may be on that website. These links are provided solely for customer convenience.
HOW WE HANDLE E-MAIL
We preserve the content of your e-mail, your e-mail address and our response so that we can more efficiently handle any follow-up questions you may have. We also do this to meet legal and regulatory requirements. If we think that a particular Academy Bank account or service might apply to your situation, we may occasionally contact you at your e-mail address to inform you of potential benefits and availability.
For secure transmissions, your e-mails to us should be sent through our Contact Us pages. Since our response back to you is not secure, we will not include confidential account information in the response. You may also contact us by phone, U.S. mail or by visiting your nearest branch. See our Contact Us link and our branch locator web pages for additional information about contacting us.
WHAT WE DO WITH ONLINE SURVEYS
The information you provide on surveys and promotions on our web site will be used for internal marketing purposes, including developing web site information and services that you may find helpful. In addition, we may inform you of new accounts and services we may offer in the future based on the information you provide to us.
NO DATA "CAPTURE" WITH PLANNING TOOLS
There are planning tools throughout the site to help you make the financial decisions that are right for you in the privacy of your home. We encourage you to try all of your "what-if" scenarios as often as you like. Examples include the mortgage principal and interest calculator and the savings goal calculators.
When you use various planning tools on our Web site, the calculations run on your PC or our server. We do not capture the personal information you provide on these planning tools.
MISCELLANEOUS
Consolidation Sites. Please use caution when using consolidation sites. Consolidation sites are Internet sites which offer the ability to collect all of your personal information on one site. For example, you may be encouraged to provide consolidation sites your personal finance information, such as your Online ID, Access ID, PC Password or PIN for Online Banking. NEVER PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION TO A SITE THAT YOU DO NOT RECOGNIZE AND FULLY TRUST.
YOU SHOULD KNOW: ALL transactions initiated by a consolidation site using access information you provide are considered to be authorized by you, whether or not you were aware of the specific transaction. You may revoke this authority only by notifying us, and we may need to block your account until we issue new access codes.
We are committed to making sure that your Online Banking is safe and secure. With our own security infrastructure in place, we are confident that access to your accounts is private and secure; we are unable to provide similar assurances for other websites. While we work to protect your banking privacy, you also play a role in protecting your accounts. Only provide your Access ID or Online ID when your browser shows a secure connection directly to the Academy Bank website or to another site you have investigated and fully trust.
Information may also be exchanged with credit bureaus and similar organizations, provided when legally required or permitted, or in connection with a fraud investigation, an acquisition or the sale of your account to another financial institution.
Please note that since we cannot control information on other Internet sites, we are not responsible for the content of sites linked from www.academybankco.com.
COUNT ON OUR COMMITMENT TO YOUR PRIVACY
You can count on us to keep you informed about how we protect your privacy and limit the sharing of information you provide to us - whether it's at a branch, over the phone or through the Internet.

TYPES OF AVAILABLE TRANSACTIONS AND LIMITS ON TRANSACTIONS - Account Access
Upon request, you may use the Service to:
Access your Account Online.
You may obtain account balances and transaction information including access to your periodic statements, for your Accounts.
Transfer funds between your Deposit Accounts.
A request to transfer funds between Accounts may not result in an immediate transfer or immediate funds availability because of the time required to process the files. If there are not available funds in the Deposit Account from which a transfer is being made at the time the transfer is processed, the transfer will be canceled and we will not make the transfer at a later date. You may schedule transfers for future dates. Requests made after 7:00 p.m. Central Time or on a non-Business Day will be considered made for the next Business Day.
Send electronic mail (e-mail) to us and receive e-mail from us.
We may not immediately receive e-mail that you send. We must have a reasonable opportunity to act before taking action on your e-mail requests. You cannot use e-mail to make a bill payment, account inquiry or funds transfer. You may not use e-mail to stop payment, report unauthorized use of your password and/or PIN, or to report an unauthorized Transaction. You must notify us by calling or writing us at the phone number or address listed above.
Online Bill Payment
You hereby authorize us to make payments from your designated checking Account "Payment Account" in the amounts you request to persons or businesses in the United States (each, a "Payee"). You further authorize us to make payments on your behalf by bank check ("Check Payments") or electronic funds transfers ("EFT Payments") drawn on or debited against your Payment Account. We will decide, in our sole discretion, which payment method to use on a case by case basis.
You must specify the date ("Payment Date") by which you want us to issue a Check Payment or EFT Payment. That day can be any Business Day up to 360 days in the future. You must give the bill payment instructions not less than 7 business days in advance of the day on which the payment is due to the Payee. If checks written and/or EFT transactions initiated by you are presented on a Payment Date, we will, in our sole discretion, determine the order in which these payments are processed.
While most Payees can be reached through the Service, we reserve the right to refuse to allow you to designate any particular Payee or classes of Payees. You may not make a payment of alimony, maintenance, child support, taxes, or other governmental fees or court-directed payments through the Service. We shall have a reasonable opportunity to act before changes to your Payee list are effective. Funds are available for transfers and payments in accordance with our Funds Availability Policy contained in The Account Terms and Conditions. If there are not sufficient available funds in the Payment Account to make payments you have authorized, we may either refuse to honor payment requests or may make the payment and thereby overdraw the Payment Account. In either event, you will pay on demand the negative balance and are responsible for any insufficient funds and return item charges. If you overdraw your account with us, and transfer funds from another account to cover the overdraft, you are bound by the rules and regulations which apply to that transfer or credit privilege. If we refuse to honor a payment request due to insufficient available funds, that particular payment will be canceled.
It is your responsibility to transmit your bill payment authorizations in such a manner that your bills are paid on time. You are responsible for any late payment charge, finance charge, penalty or default that may result from your failure to transmit payment authorizations in sufficient time.
We will not be liable to you if a Payee cannot or will not accept a payment made through the Service. You agree to notify us promptly if you receive notice from a Payee that a payment you made using the Service has not been completed or remains unpaid. We will not be liable to you for any damages to the extent that your failure or delay in notifying us that a bill payment was not made prevents us from avoiding or alleviating such damages.
Limitation on Dollar Amount and Frequency of Transactions.
Subject to available Deposit Account balances, funds transfers and bill payments can be made for any amount up to $10,000. Total payments during a business day may not exceed $20,000. There are no limitations on the number of Transactions that can be made during any time period to or from any Account, except as provided by federal regulations limiting pre-authorized transfers. By federal regulation, you are limited during any statement cycle or calendar month to six pre-authorized or automatic transfers or checks, if the Account is a Money Market Deposit Account or a savings account. Online bill payments and transfers between your Deposit Accounts are considered pre-authorized transfers.
CHARGES FOR TRANSACTIONS OR RIGHT TO MAKE TRANSACTIONS
Online banking and online bill payment are free services. However, if you elect to receive account alerts via text message, there may be costs associated with your cell phone carrier or your cell phone plan. You should check with your carrier to make sure you understand whether there are charges they impose.
Online Account Access/Bill Payment - there is no monthly service charge for this service. However, if there are insufficient funds in the Payment Account, we may debit any Deposit Account for the amount of fees and service charges owed for use of the Service. Fees may be assessed for optional services selected. We may change or add fees, without notice unless required by law. The fees in our Account Terms and Conditions brochure also apply.
DISCLOSURE OF ACCOUNT INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES
We will disclose information to third parties about your Account or the Transactions you make: When it is necessary for completing Transactions; or in order to verify the existence and condition of your Account for a third party, such as a credit bureau, merchant, Payee or holder of a check issued through the Service; or in order to comply with government agency or court orders, or to give information to any governmental entity having legal authority to request such information.
RIGHT TO RECEIVE DOCUMENTATION OF TRANSACTIONS
You will receive a monthly statement if you have an Account upon which checks or drafts may be drawn. You willreceive a savings statement semi-annually (quarterly-BMW) unless there are electronic transactions during the month. A savings statement will be provided monthly for accounts with electronic transactions.

After a payment request is transmitted, you are unable to cancel a payment through the Service, if, for example, the payment date or payment amount is incorrect. See your Account Terms and Conditions booklet for other provisions relating to stop payments.
BANK'S LIABILITY FOR FAILURE TO MAKE TRANSFERS OR PAYMENTS
If we do not complete a Transaction to or from your Account on time or in the correct amount according to this Agreement, we will be liable for your actual losses, if any, as provided by applicable laws and regulations. However, there are some exceptions. We will not be liable if, for example but without limitation:
- Through no fault of ours, you do not have enough available funds in your Account to complete a Transaction on that Account.
- The Transaction would be over the limit of your available credit limit.
- You have not properly followed instructions for using the Service, or if your computer, software, related equipment, electrical power or telephone service fails or malfunctions.
- The Payee information necessary to complete the payment stored on your PC's hard drive and/or the host has been lost or corrupted.
- You do not authorize a payment soon enough for your payment to be received by the Payee by the time it is due.
- Withdrawals from any of your Accounts have been prohibited by a court order such as a garnishment or other legal process, or the Account is in dispute or restricted for any other reason.
- The Service was not working properly and you knew about the breakdown when you started the Transaction.
- A Payee does not accept, mishandles or delays in handling payments.
- You have not provided the correct and complete Payee Name, address, or account information or payment amount.
- Circumstances beyond our control (such as fire, telecommunication outages and malfunctions, strikes or natural disasters) prevent the processing of a Transaction.
- Delays or losses of payments caused by the U.S. Postal Service or other commercial delivery service.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by law, we are not responsible for any loss, injury, or damage, whether direct, indirect, special or consequential, caused by the Service or the use of the Service or arising in any way out of the installation, operation, or maintenance of your computer or related equipment.
YOUR LIABILITY FOR UNAUTHORIZED TRANSACTIONS
Tell us AT ONCE if you believe there has been an unauthorized transaction from your Account. Telephoning is the best way of keeping possible losses down. If you tell us within 2 Business Days (4 days if your account was opened in Kansas) after you learn of the loss or theft, you can lose no more than $50 if someone deposited, withdrew or transferred funds without you permission. If you do NOT tell us within 2 Business Days (4 days in Kansas) after you learn of the loss or theft and we can prove we could have stopped someone from transferring funds without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500 ($300 in Kansas). Also, if your Account statement shows Transactions 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 a hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods.
ERROR RESOLUTION PROCEDURES
In cases of errors or questions about your electronic transactions, telephone us at 1-888-929-2265 or write us at P.O. Box 3400, Fort Leavenworth, KS 66027 as soon as possible, if you think your statement is wrong or if you need more information about a Transaction listed on the statement. We must hear from you no later than 60 days after we sent the FIRST statement on which the problem or error appeared. Tell us your name and Account number.
- Describe the error or the Transaction you are unsure about, and explain as clearly as you can why you believe it is an error or why you need more information.
- Tell us the dollar amount of the suspected error.
- If you tell us orally, we may require that you send your complaint or question in writing within 10 Business Days.
Generally, we will tell you the results of our investigation within 10 Business Days after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. 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 re-credit your Account within 10 Business Days for the amount you think is in error so that you will have the use of the money during the time it takes us to complete our investigation. If we ask you to put your complaint or question in writing and we do not receive it within 10 Business Days, we may not re-credit your Account. If the transaction involved was a point-of-sale transaction or a transaction initiated outside the United States, the above time periods may be extended as follows: 10 business days may be extended to 20 business days and 45 business days may be extended to 90 days.
If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation within 3 Business Days after we finish our investigation. You may ask for copies of documents that we used in our investigation.

Even though this technology provides the most secure communications available to the public, it is possible for unauthorized persons to gain access to your computer systems, networks, and any and all information stored therein. If unauthorized persons gain access to your personal information despite our best efforts to prevent such access, you understand and agree that we are not responsible for any adverse consequences whatsoever of your connection to or use of the Internet, and shall not be responsible for any use by you of an Internet connection in violation of any law, rule, or regulation or any violation of the intellectual property rights of another.

You are consenting to receive Bank eStatements to replace your mailed (paper) statement with an electronic version (PDF) that you can view, save to your computer or print at your convenience. Your eStatement will replace all of your future paper account statements. You are consenting to electronic delivery of account-related notices and other regulatory information that you would normally receive in the envelope with your paper account statements (collectively, "regulatory inserts"). You understand and agree that we may provide to you in electronic format only, by posting the information through Online Banking or via email, all agreements, disclosures, notices, statements and other information and communications regarding your current and future accounts, services and products.
The receipt and use of eStatements requires that you have (i) access to a computer with an active internet connection and required browser; (ii) from which you can access your personal e-mail; and (iii) in a location where you are comfortable viewing personal financial information. It is not recommended that you use a computer to which other individuals or members of the general public also have access ("Public Computer") because of an increased information security risks and the increased likelihood that your confidential information may be made available to others. Although not necessary for review of eStatements, having a computer that is private allows you to download your eStatements and save them to the hard drive. Finally, having a printer available is also not necessary, but helpful.
E-mail delivery of the notification for your account statement(s) can offer significant advantages in terms of speed and convenience. Generally, we can deliver eStatements to you within one business day of the end of the statement period. You will be able to print eStatements in print-friendly Portable Document Format ("PDF"), provided that your computer has a browser that is able to view and print dynamically-generated PDF. You may save eStatements by downloading and saving the documents in PDF format the way you would any other file from the Web. In order to generate the PDF version, you will need to have Adobe Acrobat Reader on your computer.
DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE
E-mail notices will be sent for accounts with online delivery. We will maintain online access to each eStatement for a period of up to 18 months from the date on which your eStatement is made available.
You understand that an eStatement will consist of what you currently receive in the mail. If you currently receive imaged copies of checks with your paper statement, then the same will be available with your eStatement. If you currently do not receive images of checks with your paper statement, then check images will not be available with your eStatement.
We often include with your paper account statement other periodic notices. For short, we refer to these as "regulatory inserts." When you consent to electronic delivery of your account statements, you will also be consenting to electronic delivery of regulatory inserts. This includes required disclosures such as changes to Bank customer policies (e.g., account maintenance fees or privacy policy), summaries of updated account features, and amendments to your account agreements. The e-mail notification that your eStatement is ready will include any regulatory inserts that accompany your account statement.
You can turn off eStatement delivery at any time by contacting Us and will not be charged a fee for doing so. When you turn off eStatements, you will automatically begin receiving mailed (paper) statements with your next statement cycle. Additional fees, which may be then in effect for paper (mailed) statements, will apply.

You understand that you must complete the entire registration process to affirm your ability to receive, open and view your eStatement electronically.
