Product and Services Information

This Site has been established by the Bank for the purpose of conveying information about the Bank's products and services and to allow communication between the Bank and its customers. Nothing contained in any page on this Site takes the place of the Bank's agreements that govern our products and services and disclosures made in accordance with federal and state laws and regulations. If any information on the Site conflicts with that in the Bank's agreements and disclosures, such agreements and disclosures will control.

Subscription Requirements

To subscribe to the Bank's Internet Banking service (“Internet Banking”), you must maintain at least one deposit account with Bank, which may include the following types of accounts: checking account, savings account, money market account, Certificate of Deposit, or Loan (collectively and individually, “Accounts”). Internet Banking will allow you to access more than one Account, view Account balance and transaction information, transfer funds among designated Accounts, send electronic mail to Bank and receive electronic mail from Bank (“Internet Banking Transactions”).

Security Procedures

Upon becoming an Internet Banking customer, you will receive a temporary PIN, which will allow access to information on your existing Accounts with the Bank. Use of the PIN number assigned to you will indicate to the Bank your acceptance of these Terms. Each time you engage in an Internet Banking Transaction, you will be required to enter your PIN number. Any person(s) initiating an Internet Banking Transaction on behalf of a commercial customer by entering the correct PIN is deemed as acting with the full authority of the Board of Directors, members or general partners, as applicable, of the commercial customer. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your PIN and any breach of confidentiality must be promptly reported the Bank. The Bank reserves the right to prevent your access to Internet Banking should the Bank have reason to believe the confidentiality of your PIN has been compromised.

You acknowledge and agree that by providing any personal or proprietary information through this Site, you consent to the transmission of such personal or proprietary information to the Bank, its agents and processors as necessary for secure processing in accordance with the Bank's standard business practices.

Customer Responsibilities

You shall be responsible for all Internet Banking Transactions you authorize. You shall also be responsible for all Internet Banking Transactions initiated by persons to whom you have given your PIN. You also have responsibilities as governed by the Electronic Fund Transfer Act (15 U.S.C. 1693, et seq.) as more fully described below.

Bank Responsibilities

The Bank shall be responsible for performing services expressly provided for in these Terms, and shall not be liable for any error or delay so long as the Bank has acted in accordance with these Terms and Account agreements. The Bank shall not be liable if you do not have sufficient funds in a designated Account to complete the transaction you initiate or if the Account is closed.

The Bank shall not be liable if you have not given the Bank complete, correct or current transfer instructions or if you have not followed proper instructions provided through the Internet Banking website. The Bank shall not be responsible for any loss, damage, liability or claim arising, directly or indirectly from any error, delay or failure in performance of any of its obligations hereunder which is caused by fire or other natural disaster, strike, civil unrest, any inoperability of communications facilities or any other circumstance beyond the control of the Bank.

Computer Equipment and Software

You must have an Internet Service Provider and a web browser to utilize Internet Banking through the Internet. In an effort to provide the highest degree of confidentiality and security, the Bank recommends the use of browsers that provide encryption using a 128-bit key. The higher level of encryption, the more difficult it is for unauthorized people to read information. The Bank is not liable for losses resulting from the use of any browser using less than 128-bit data encryption. If you elect to use a browser that does not use 128-bit encryption, this implies your acceptance of this risk.

You are solely responsible for the maintenance, installation and operation of your computer and for the software used in accessing Internet Banking. The Bank shall not be responsible for any errors, deletions, or failures that occur as a result of any malfunction of your computer or software, nor shall the Bank be responsible for any computer virus that affects your computer or the software while using Internet Banking.

Jury Trial Waiver and Arbitration

You hereby knowingly, voluntarily, intentionally and irrevocably waive the right to a trial by jury in respect to any litigation based hereon or arising out of these Terms or relating to the account as permitted under applicable law.

You agree that any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to your use of this Site or Internet Banking requires that such claim be resolved exclusively by confidential binding arbitration except that, to the extent you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate Bank's intellectual property rights, Bank may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief.

Should this Section be deemed invalid or otherwise unenforceable for any reason, it shall be severed. In such event, the parties to these Terms agree that exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any claims will be in state court in Chaves County, New Mexico or federal courts in Roswell, New Mexico, and each party hereby waives any defense related to personal jurisdiction, process or venue.
