E-Alerts Terms and Conditions
Alerts. Your enrollment in CharterNet Online Banking and/or CharterGo Mobile Banking (the “Service”) includes enrollment to receive transaction alerts and notifications (“Alerts”). Alerts are electronic notices from us that contain transactional information about your CharterWest Bank account(s). Account Alerts and Additional Alerts must be managed and/or added online through the Service. 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. CharterWest Bank 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 CharterNet Online Banking message inbox. 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, text "STOP" to 41952 at anytime. 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 CharterNet Online Banking. For help with SMS text alerts, text “HELP” to 41952. In case of questions please contact customer service at 800-872-5147. Our participating carriers include (but are not limited to) AT&T, SprintPCS, T-Mobile®, U.S. Cellular®, Verizon Wireless, MetroPCS.
Limitations. CharterWest Bank 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 CharterWest Bank’s control. We neither guarantee the delivery nor the accuracy of the contents of each Alert. You agree to not hold CharterWest Bank, 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.
Privacy
We understand how important privacy is to our customers. We have taken steps to protect the privacy and security of your personal information as well as your financial transactions with us. You should read our Privacy Policy (https://www.charterwest.com/policy-disclosures/privacy-policy/) before completing the enrollment process for the Service.
Disclosure of Account Information to Third Parties
It is our general policy to treat your account information as confidential. However, we will disclose information to third parties about your account or the transactions you make ONLY in the following situations:
Please refer to our Privacy Policy (https://www.charterwest.com/policy-disclosures/privacy-policy/) for additional detail on disclosure of account information.
Security
The Service utilizes a comprehensive security strategy to protect your accounts and transactions conducted over the Internet. Prior to activating your access, the Service will verify your identity and authorization against information associated with an Eligible Account (s). Use of the Services will therefore require a Social Security Number (or other Tax Identification Number) during the Enroll Now process to authorize your enrollment.
Usernames and Password - One of the main security features protecting the Service is the unique combination of your Username and Password. During the enrollment process, you will be asked to select a unique Username, and then choose a Password that will be used to gain access to the Service. Neither CharterWest Bank nor its Service Providers have access to this information. The Service will automatically lock your account after three unsuccessful login attempts. You may utilize the forgot password feature to unlock your account or contact us for assistance if your account remains locked out. Mobile application users with supported mobile Devices (Android or Apple) can sign into the application using fingerprint login or facial ID. This setting is enabled or disabled by the user via the application. For security reasons, the application may require users to fully authenticate with their password when performing transactions that move funds, such as transferring money, paying bills, paying other people, or to access card controls. This step-up authentication maintains current security standards. The password will only be requested once in a single user session.
Because your Password is used to access your accounts, you should treat it as you would any other sensitive personal data.
For additional information and resources on how to protect your sensitive person data visit our Customer Awareness Center (https://www.charterwest.com/customer-awareness/).
We may accept as authentic any instructions given to us through the use of your password or tax identification number.
Account numbers may be masked as a part of The Service to protect your sensitive data. Sessions may be ended and/or users logged out after established inactivity limits.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is an additional layer of security that is a standard part of your login routine. The MFA is made up of complex device identification or fingerprinting and three challenge questions no one else knows. The Service attempts to identify your device based on several data elements each time you access your account, if additional authentication is needed the Service will ask you for the answer to a challenge question. You may register your device (when using a web browser) as private and a cookie will then be stored to assist in authentication. When accessing your login from a public location you may choose to register the device as public so that a challenge question is asked for each login session.
Neither CHARTERWEST BANK nor its Service Providers will contact you via telephone or email requesting personal information, your USERNAME, or your PassWORD. If you are contacted by anyone requesting this information, please contact us immediately.
Encryption –Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology is used for everything you do while using the Service. Your browser automatically activates this technology when it attempts to connect to our Service. The Service requires a browser that supports 128-bit encryption. The Service will warn you if your browser does not meet this requirement.
Whenever SSL is securing your communications, the browser will typically indicate this secure session by changing the appearance of a small icon of a padlock at the bottom of the screen from “open” to “locked”. What this means to you is that your communications are scrambled from your browser to our servers at all times so no unauthorized party can read the information as it is carried over the Internet.
Certificate Authority - The servers hosting the Service have been certified by a Certificate Authority to assure you that you are actually talking to the Service instead of someone pretending to be us. If you are using an older browser you will see that the Certificate Authorities key may have expired; you will need to update your browser. By clicking on the lock within the Service, you can view the certificate to ensure it’s valid.
Cookies - During your use of the Service, our Service Provider may pass an encrypted cookie to your device in order to additionally identify your device during the session. Cookies enable the Service to process multiple transactions during a session without having to provide authentication for each individual transaction. The cookie does not contain any personal information; it simply provides another level of security. The cookie is stored on your device’s hard-drive, identifying your device while you are logged on. When you log off, close your browser, or turn off your device, the cookie will be destroyed. A new cookie may be used for each session; thus, no one can use the prior cookie to access your account(s).
Mobile Devices – Data collected and transmitted via your mobile device for the Service shall be encrypted for security. No personal data or images will be stored directly on the mobile device.
Additional Security Guidelines:
Your Responsibilities
When you accept the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you agree not to give or make available your login credentials, challenge questions, or other means to access your account to any unauthorized individuals. You are responsible for all transfers, mobile deposits, and Bill Payments you authorize using the Service. If you permit other persons to use the Service, your login credentials/challenge questions, or other means to access your account, you are responsible for any transactions they authorize. You are also responsible for the security and availability of items deposited via Mobile Deposit as set forth in the Terms and Conditions for Mobile Banking.
You are responsible for the security, maintaining, and servicing of your mobile device or any other equipment used to access the Service. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, you are solely responsible, at your own expense, for purchasing, installing, operating, testing and maintaining all hardware and software necessary to use the Service. You agree that all images and files transmitted to us through the Service will contain no viruses or any other disabling features that may have an adverse impact on our network, data, or related systems.
If you believe that your login credentials, challenge questions, or other means to access your account has been lost or stolen or that someone may attempt to use the Service without your consent or has transferred money without your permission, you must notify us at once by calling 402-372-5147 or Toll Free 1-800-872-5147 during business hours.
If you or your authorized users disclose your login credentials and/or challenge questions to anyone, and/or if you allow someone to use your login credentials and/or challenge questions to access your accounts, you are authorizing them to act on your behalf and you will be responsible for any use of the Service by them (e.g., such as when you provide this information to a joint account holder, an employee, and/or an aggregation service provider).
Mobile Banking Obligations
Refer to the Terms and Conditions for Mobile Banking for detailed restrictions, procedures, and limitations of the Service. Mobile Banking includes related services accessed via Mobile Banking (i.e. Bill Pay, E-Alerts, and Mobile Deposit).
Our Liability for Failure to Complete Transactions
We will use commercially reasonable efforts to make all your transfers, mobile deposits, and Bill Payments properly. However, we shall incur no liability and any Bill Payment Service Guarantee shall be void if we are unable to complete any transactions initiated by you because of the existence of any one or more of the following circumstances:
Provided none of the foregoing exceptions are applicable, if the Service causes an incorrect amount of funds to be removed from any of your Eligible Account(s), or Payment Account, or causes funds from your Payment Account to be directed to a Biller, which does not comply with your Payment Instructions, CharterWest Bank and/or its Service Providers shall be responsible for returning the improperly transferred funds to your Payment Account, and for directing to the proper Biller any previously misdirected transactions, and, if applicable, for any late payment related charges.
Documentation and Verification of Payments, Transfers, or Mobile Deposits
Information regarding Online Banking, Mobile Banking, and Bill Payment transactions will be reflected on the account detail in the Service and in your regular monthly account statement(s).
Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your Username or Password or access device has been lost or stolen. Telephoning is the best way of minimizing your possible losses. You could lose all the money in your account.
If consumer customers tell us within two (2) Business Days after you discover your password or other means to access your account has been lost or stolen, your liability is no more than $50.00 should someone access your account without your permission. If you do not tell us within two (2) Business Days after you learn of such loss or theft, and we can prove that we could have prevented the unauthorized use of your password or other means to access your account if you had told us, you could be liable for as much as $500.00.
If your monthly account statement contains transactions that you did not authorize, you must tell us at once. If you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after the statement was sent to you, you may lose any amount transferred or paid without your authorization after the sixty (60) days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money had you told us in time. If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) prevented you from telling us, we may extend the period.
Alterations and Amendments
This Agreement, applicable fees and service charges may be altered or amended from time-to-time. In such event, we will provide notice to you. Any use of the Service after we provide you a notice of change will constitute your agreement to such change(s). Further, we may, from time to time, revise or update the applications, services, and/or related material, which may render all such prior versions obsolete. Consequently, we reserve the right to terminate this Agreement as to all such prior versions of the applications, services, and/or related material and limit access to only the Service's more recent revisions and updates.
