Welcome to Central Valley Community Bank's Online Banking. Your use of Online Banking is subject to all terms and conditions contained in this online Agreement (the “Agreement”) as well as the Central Valley Community Bank Customer Agreement – Understanding Your Deposit Account (the “Customer Agreement”). Please read the Agreement carefully before proceeding. When you use Online Banking you agree to the terms and conditions of the entire Agreement.
I. General Terms and Conditions 
1. Definitions:
Throughout this Agreement, the words “you” and “your” refer to every person who is listed on our records as an owner of the Account who has enrolled in Online Banking. “We”, “us” and “our” mean Central Valley Community Bank. “Authorized Use” means you or any other person who either (i) is actually authorized by you to use Online Banking on your behalf; (ii) accesses Online Banking using your online password, whether or not such person has actual authority to do so. “Account” means your primary checking account or other account designated by you. “Business Day” means Monday through Friday, except for legal holidays. “Transaction” means any transaction requested using Online Banking, including requests for transfers between your accounts and Bill Payment requests. “Site” means our internet website.
2. Terms of Agreement:
You agree to the rules in this Agreement every time your password is used to access Online Banking. Your use of Online Banking may also be affected by the agreements between us for your linked Central Valley Community Bank accounts. When you link an account to Online Banking you do not change the agreements you already have with us for that account, (for example – loans, money market accounts). You should review those agreements for limitations on the number of transactions you can make and for other restrictions that might impact your use of an account with Online Banking.
3. Electronic Funds Transfer Act:
This Agreement applies to personal accounts and certain business accounts, unless an exception is noted. Personal accounts may be subject to the Electronic Funds Transfer Act (“EFTA”), some personal accounts will be governed both by the rules of the EFTA and this Agreement. If the EFTA applies to the account and there is a conflict between the rules of the EFTA and this Agreement, EFTA's provisions will control. Please see the Electronic Fund Transfers section of the Customer Agreement for special rules applicable to personal accounts.
5. Transfers:
Transfers can be made in two ways, one-time and recurring. One-time transfers are used when transfers occur on an infrequent or irregular basis, or which vary in amount. One-time transfers can be scheduled as immediate or future dated. You may use the recurring transfer feature when you transfer a set amount at regular intervals, for example from your checking to your savings account. One-time and recurring transfers may be made from your linked Central Valley Community Bank personal or business checking, savings, Money Market accounts. Transfers from or to your linked loan accounts can be done as a One-Time transfer. Your ability to transfer funds between certain accounts is limited by federal law, as described in the Customer Agreement. For example, Transfers from a Money Market Account to another account or to third parties by preauthorized, automatic, computer transfer or by check, draft or similar order to third parties are limited to six per statement cycle. Transfers and bill payments made using Online Banking are counted against the permissible number of transfers, as are the other transfer methods described in the Customer Agreement. The completion of a transfer is subject to the availability of sufficient funds at the time of final processing. If you do not have enough available funds, you may incur a non-sufficient funds (NSF) fee. Please refer to the applicable account agreement and fee schedule for details. Transfers you submit are immediately reflected in your balances for that account. Transfers entered before the cut-off time of 4:00pm (PT) on a bank business day are processed on that bank business day. Transfers entered after the cut-off time or on a non-bank business day are processed on the next bank business day.
7. Stop Payments:
We may accept a stop payment on any item from any one accessing your Online Banking account. You must make any stop-payment order in the manner required by law and we must receive it in time to give us a reasonable opportunity to act on it before our stop-payment cutoff time. Because stop payment orders are handled by computers, to be effective, your stop payment order must precisely identify the number, date and amount of the item, and the payee. You may stop payment on any item drawn on your account whether you sign the item or not, if you have an equal or greater right to withdraw from this account than the person who signed the item. Generally, your stop payment order is effective for six (6) months. Your order will lapse after that time if you do not renew the order in writing before the end of the six-month period. We are not obligated to notify you when a stop payment order expires. A release of the stop payment request may be made only by the person who initiated the stop payment order. Please refer to the applicable account agreement and fee schedule for details.
8. Changes in Service Charges and Terms:
We reserve the right to change the terms described in this Agreement. When changes are made to any service charges, or other material terms we will update this Agreement and if required by law send a notice to you at the address shown on our records. For changes involving additional service charges for online transactions, limits on the type, amount or frequency of transactions, or any increase in your responsibility for unauthorized transactions, such notice will be posted or sent at least thirty (30) days in advance of the effective date of any change, unless immediate change is necessary to maintain the security of the system. If such an immediate change is made, and it can be disclosed without jeopardizing the security of the system, we will provide you with electronic or written notice within thirty (30) days after the change, as required by law. You may choose to accept or decline changes by continuing or discontinuing the accounts or services to which these changes relate. We also reserve the option, in our business judgment, to waive, reduce or reverse service charges in individual situations. Changes to service charges applicable to specific accounts are governed by applicable account disclosures.
