You may use OB and MB Services to perform the following activities, which are limited to the extent, and subject to the terms, noted below:
a. Transfer Funds - Funds can be transferred immediately between Your Checking, Savings and Money Market Accounts. We reserve the right to limit the frequency and dollar amount of transactions from Your Accounts for security reasons. To ensure same day processing, transfers initiated before 6:00 PM EST will be processed on the current day. Transfers after 6:00 PM EST will be processed on the next business day but transferred funds may be available sooner upon our sole discretion. Payments sent on non-processing days, such as weekends or federal holidays, will be processed on the next business day. Transfers via OB and MB Services are subject to service availability.
b. Account Information - The account information that You access will generally be current as of the end of the previous Business Day, unless another time is specified. Information is available for Your Bank Account for up to the past thirty (30) days.
c. Electronic Mail - Because normal Internet e‐mail transmissions may not be secure, You agree not to transmit sensitive account information via e‐mail. You also agree to receive communications regarding Your Account, including change‐in‐terms notices regarding OB and MB Services, electronically and will not attempt to circumvent receiving any messages. You are deemed to have received any electronic messages sent to You when they are made available to You. We will not immediately receive e‐mail that You send. Therefore, You should not rely on e‐mail if You need to communicate with us immediately (for example, if You need to report a lost or stolen Debit/ATM card or to report an unauthorized transaction from one of Your Accounts). We will not take actions based on Your e‐mail requests until we actually receive Your message and have a reasonable opportunity to act. For inquiries involving personal or time sensitive information, You agree to contact customer service by telephone at 1-(888)-402-2265.
H. BILL PAYMENT FUNCTIONS
You may use OB and MB Services to make payments from Your designated StonehamBank Checking Account (“Bank Account”).
a. Bill Payments - To pay bills using OB and MB Services, You must use Your computer to authorize a payment to a particular payee. Our Processor will make Your payment either by transferring funds electronically to the payee, or by sending the payee a paper check. The Bank does not have control over how bill payments are processed (Paper Check vs. Electronic Funds Transfer) as this is an agreement between our processor and the merchant. You should allow seven to ten (7‐ 10) business days before the due date for the payee to receive Your payment on all paper checks.
We reserve the right to limit the frequency and dollar amount of payments from Your accounts for security reasons. Please note that some payment transactions will be subject to the rules of the National Automated Clearing House Association (NACHA). Payments can only be made to payees with a United States address. We reserve the right to refuse to pay certain payees. You agree that when You enter Your OB and MB Services User ID and password to transmit a payment instruction, You authorize us to debit the amount of the payment from Your bank account accordingly.
b. Recurring Payments - You may use OB and MB Services to authorize automatic recurring payments in order to pay recurring bills. These payments must be for the same amount each month and they will be paid on the same date each month, or on the following Business Day if the regular payment date falls on a weekend or holiday.
c. Insufficient Funds - If there are insufficient funds in the Bank Account to make payment, we may either refuse to pay the item or we may make the payment and thereby overdraw the Bank Account. In either event, You are responsible for any non‐sufficient funds ("NSF") or overdraft charges we may impose. A block is automatically placed on Your designated Bank Account that had insufficient funds. No additional bill payments are processed until the account is properly funded and the return(s) are cleared. A block will remain on Your Bank Account for ten (10) days. During that time no preauthorized or recurring payments will be processed. We also reserve the right to refuse to honor payment requests that reasonably appear to us to be fraudulent or erroneous.
d. Scheduling Payments - When using OB and MB Services, You should enter and transmit Your bill payment instruction at least seven to ten (7‐10) business days before a bill is due. It is Your responsibility to authorize Your payments in such a manner that Your bills may be paid on time. You are responsible for any late payment or finance charges that may be imposed as a result of Your failure to transmit payment instructions at least seven to ten (7‐10) business days in advance of the bill due date.
e. Cancelling Payments1 After payment requests are transmitted, You may cancel a payment if the cancellation request is transmitted to us at least three (3) business days before the payment is scheduled to be made. If Your cancellation request is not received at least three (3) business days before payment is to be made, You may be responsible for the payment. The initiation by You of certain electronic fund transfers from Your account will, except as otherwise provided in this agreement, effectively eliminate Your ability to stop payment of the transfer.
I. SECURITY PASSWORD
For security reasons, You will select Your own password for accessing OB and MB Services. You agree to keep this password confidential to prevent unauthorized use of OB and MB Services and unauthorized access to Your Account. As an additional safeguard, You should change Your password frequently. If You forget Your password, You must contact us to have a new temporary password issued to You or use the password reset feature.
J. CLIENT'S RESPONSIBILITY
1. You are responsible for all transactions You authorize using OB and MB Services. If You permit other persons to use Your User ID and password to perform transactions, You are responsible for any transactions they authorize from Your Account.
2. You should notify us immediately if You believe Your Account has been accessed or Your User ID and password has been used without Your permission. Contacting us immediately will help You reduce possible losses. You can lose no more than $50 on a personal account if You fail to give us notice of a lost or compromised User ID and password and someone uses Your account without Your permission.
3. There may be other exceptions to Your liability as stated in other agreements or provided for by law.
1 UNLESS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, YOU MAY NOT STOP PAYMENT OF ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFERS. THEREFORE, YOU SHOULD NOT EMPLOY ELECTRONIC ACCESS FOR PURCHASES OR SERVICES UNLESS YOU ARE SATISFIED THAT YOU WILL NOT NEED TO STOP PAYMENT.
K. BANK'S RESPONSIBILITY
We are responsible for processing Your instructions and requests. However, we will not be liable:
1. If You do not have adequate funds in an Account to complete a transaction, or if that Account has been closed.
2. If You have not properly followed the instructions on how to make a transfer or bill payment; if You have not given us complete, correct and current instructions so that we can make a transfer or bill payment.
3. If You do not authorize a bill payment soon enough for Your payment to be made and properly credited by the payee by the time it is due.
4. If we make a timely bill payment but the payee nevertheless does not credit Your payment promptly after receipt.
5. If withdrawals from Your Account have been prohibited by a court order such as garnishment or other legal process.
6. If Your Computer is not working properly and this problem should have been apparent to You when You attempted to authorize a transfer or bill payment.
7. If the U.S. Postal service causes a delay.
8. If circumstances beyond our control prevent making a transfer or payment, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken. Such circumstances include, but are not limited to, telecommunication outages, postal strikes, delays caused by payees, fires, and floods. This list is not exhaustive.
L. PERIODIC STATEMENTS
We will mail or deliver to You, periodic statements for Your Account. In addition to reflecting other account activity, Your statements will include any transfers or bill payments You authorize using OB and MB Services. It is Your responsibility to notify us immediately if You detect an error on Your periodic statement.

Q. ALERTS
Your enrollment in StonehamBank’s Services includes enrollment to receive transaction alerts and notifications (“Alerts”). Alerts are electronic notices from us that contain transactional information about Your StonehamBank account(s). Alerts are provided within the following categories:
1. Mandatory Alerts - provide You with important account notifications, such as information about changes to Your OB and MB Services password, PIN, or login information. You do not have the option to suppress these Mandatory Alerts.
2. Account Alerts - provide You with notification of important account activities or when certain changes are made to Your Service accounts, such as scheduled payments made, scheduled payments cancelled and mobile deposits. These Alerts are automatically activated for You. Although You may suppress these Account Alerts, we strongly recommend that You do not do so because they provide important information related to Your Accounts.
3. Additional Alerts - must be activated by You to be enabled. These Additional Alerts can be accessed from the Alerts menu within StonehamBank OB and MB Services and Alerts menu within StonehamBank’s mobile banking platform. Account Alerts and Additional Alerts must be managed and/or added online through the service. You cannot maintain all Alerts though Your mobile device. We may add new Alerts from time to time or cancel old Alerts. We usually notify You when we cancel Alerts but are not obligated to do so. StonehamBank reserves the right to terminate its Alerts service at any time without prior notice to You. Methods of Delivery. We may provide Alerts through one or more channels (“EndPoints”): (a) a mobile device, by text message, (b) a mobile device, by push notification; (c) an email account, by an e‐mail message; or (d) Your StonehamBank OB and MB Services message in‐box, by an e‐ mail message. You agree to receive Alerts through these EndPoints, and it is Your responsibility to determine that each of the service providers for the EndPoints described in (a) through (c) above supports the email, push notification, and text message Alerts provided through the Alerts service. Please be advised that text or data charges or rates may be imposed by Your EndPoints service provider. Alert frequency varies by account and preferences. You agree to provide us a valid mobile phone number or email address so that we may send You Alerts. If Your email address or Your mobile device's number changes, You are responsible for informing us of that change. Your Alerts will be updated to reflect the changes that You communicate to us with regard to Your primary and secondary email addresses or mobile device number.
4. Alerts via Text Message - To stop Alerts via text message, you can make the change under alert settings within online banking. Alerts sent to Your primary email address will be unaffected by this action. To restore Alerts on Your mobile phone, just visit the Alerts tab in StonehamBank OB and MB Services and click the box next to Your mobile number for the Alerts You would like to receive again. In case of questions, please contact customer service at (888) 402-2265.
5. Limitations - StonehamBank provides Alerts as a convenience to You for information purposes only. An Alert does not constitute a bank record for the deposit or credit account to which it pertains. We strive to provide Alerts in a timely manner with accurate information. However, You acknowledge and agree that Your receipt of any Alerts may be delayed or prevented by factor(s) affecting Your mobile phone service provider, internet service provider(s) and other factors outside StonehamBank’s control. We neither guarantee the delivery nor the accuracy of the contents of each Alert. You agree to not hold StonehamBank, its directors, officers, employees, agents, and service providers liable for losses or damages, including attorneys' fees, that may arise, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from (a) a non‐delivery, delayed delivery, or the misdirected delivery of an Alert; (b) inaccurate or incomplete content in an Alert; or (c) Your reliance on or use of the information provided in an Alert for any purpose.
6. Alert Information - As Alerts delivered via SMS, email and push notifications are not encrypted, we will never include Your passcode or full account number.

Alerts Additional Terms.
The following Alerts terms and conditions (“Alerts Terms of Use”) only apply to the Alerts feature (as defined below).

To the extent there is any conflict between the terms of the Agreement and this Alerts Terms of Use with respect to Alerts, then the terms in this Alerts Terms of Use shall apply.
Alerts. Your enrollment in StonehamBank OB and MB Services (the “Service”) includes enrollment to receive transaction alerts and notifications (“Alerts”). Alerts are electronic notices from us that contain transactional information about Your StonehamBank account(s). Alerts are provided within the following categories:
• Mandatory Alerts provide You with important account notifications, such as information about changes to Your OB and MB Services password, PIN, or login information. You do not have the option to suppress these Mandatory Alerts.
• Account Alerts provide You with notification of important account activities or when certain changes are made to Your Service accounts. These Alerts are automatically activated for You. Although You may suppress these Account Alerts, we strongly recommend that You do not do so because they provide important information related to Your Service accounts.
• Additional Alerts must be activated by You to be enabled. These Additional Alerts can be accessed from StonehamBank Mobile Banking.
Account Alerts and Additional Alerts must be managed and/or added online through the Service. You cannot maintain all Alerts through Your mobile device. We may add new Alerts from time to time, or cancel old Alerts. We usually notify You when we cancel Alerts, but are not obligated to do so. StonehamBank reserves the right to terminate its Alerts service at any time without prior notice to You.
Methods of Delivery. We may provide Alerts through one or more channels (“EndPoints”): (a) a mobile device, by text message; (b) a mobile device, by push notification; (c) an email account, by an e-mail message; or (d) Your StonehamBank OB and MB Services message in-box, by an e-mail message. You agree to receive Alerts through these EndPoints, and it is Your responsibility to determine that each of the service providers for the EndPoints described in (a) through (c) above supports the email, push notification, and text message Alerts provided through the Alerts service. Please be advised that text or data charges or rates may be imposed by Your EndPoint service provider. Alert frequency varies by account and preferences. You agree to provide us a valid mobile phone number or email address so that we may send You Alerts. If Your email address or Your mobile device's number changes, You are responsible for informing us of that change. Your Alerts will be updated to reflect the changes that You communicate to us with regard to Your primary and secondary email addresses or mobile device number.
Alerts via Text Message. To stop Alerts via text message, you can make the change under alert settings within online banking. Alerts sent to Your primary email address will be unaffected by this action. To restore Alerts on Your mobile phone, just visit the Alerts tab in StonehamBank OB and MB Services and click the box next to Your mobile number for the Alerts You'd like to receive again. In case of questions, please contact customer service at (888) 402-2265.
Limitations. StonehamBank provides Alerts as a convenience to You for information purposes only. An Alert does not constitute a bank record for the deposit or credit account to which it pertains. We strive to provide Alerts in a timely manner with accurate information. However, You acknowledge and agree that Your receipt of any Alerts may be delayed or prevented by factor(s) affecting Your mobile phone service provider, internet service provider(s) and other factors outside StonehamBank’s control. We neither guarantee the delivery nor the accuracy of the contents of each Alert. You agree to not hold StonehamBank, its directors, officers, employees, agents and service providers liable for losses or damages, including attorneys' fees, that may arise, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from (a) a non- delivery, delayed delivery, or the misdirected delivery of an Alert; (b) inaccurate or incomplete content in an Alert; or (c) Your reliance on or use of the information provided in an Alert for any purpose.
Alert Information. As Alerts delivered via SMS, email and push notifications are not encrypted, we will never include Your passcode or full account number. You acknowledge and agree that Alerts may not be encrypted and may include Your name and some information about Your accounts, and anyone with access to Your Alerts will be able to view the contents of these messages.
