MODIFICATIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT

Mid America Bank may modify the terms of this Agreement from time to time.  The revised terms and conditions shall be effective at the earliest date allowed by applicable law.

GOVERNING LAW

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Missouri and applicable federal laws.

ACCESS

Availability of Services

You will generally be able to access your Online Accounts and Online Banking Services through the website 24 hours per day, seven days a week. Sometimes the Service may be unavailable due to system maintenance or circumstances beyond our control.  

For the purposes of transaction processing, Mid America Bank’s business days are Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM CT to 6:00 PM CT, except for Federal holidays. All Online Banking transactions requested after 6:00 PM CT on Monday through Friday, on non-business days, or on Federal holidays will be processed on the next business day.

Use of Access Credentials

As you complete the enrollment for Personal Online Banking, you will be asked to choose a username and create your password.  You determine what password you will use and the identity of your password is not communicated to us, making sure to follow the password requirements listed on the screen.  You agree that we are authorized to act on instructions received under your password. You agree not to allow anyone to gain access to Online Banking or to let anyone know your password. After three (3) unsuccessful attempts at authorization to use the system, you must contact us during regular banking hours to unlock your account. You agree to assume responsibility for all transactions up to the limits allowed by applicable law.

Password Guidelines

Passwords are the key to each customer having a secure connection to their financial records. Passwords are issued by the financial institution and are issued in an expired state, so the customer will be required to change any password provided by Mid America Bank.

  • The financial institution controls the minimum and maximum length of passwords. The shortest minimum allowed is 9 characters, and the longest maximum is 17 characters.
  • We require passwords to contain at least one (1) uppercase letter, one (1) lowercase letter, one (1) number, and one (1) special character.
  • The new password cannot be similar to the old password or username.
  • We do not have access to your password. Mid America Bank can issue a new, temporary password in the event of lost or forgotten passwords.
  • You should keep all passwords confidential and not share with anyone to grant access.

Theft or Unauthorized Use of Access Credentials

If you believe your access credentials have been lost or stolen or that someone has used them without your authorization, contact a Mid America Bank branch immediately during regular banking hours. Contacting us immediately is the best way of reducing your possible losses.

Lost or Forgotten Access Credentials

If your access credentials been lost or forgotten, call a Mid America Bank branch during regular banking hours. A temporary password will be emailed to an existing email address on file.  Any temporary password issued must be changed by the customer at the next login.

Termination of Access

Unless otherwise required by applicable law or regulation, either of us can terminate this Agreement and/or your access to any Online Account or Service, in whole or in part, at any time. For example, we may terminate your access to the Online Services due to inactivity, at any time. We will try to notify you in advance of any termination but are not required to do so.

We also may terminate access upon proper notification of death.

Access to Online Services will be terminated if your account is in an inactive status, meaning you have not signed on to the service during any consecutive 180 day period. If your service is considered inactive and terminated, you will have to re-enroll to regain access. If your online banking profile is terminated due to inactivity for 180 consecutive days, the account(s) will then receive paper statements/notices going forward.

If you violate any terms of this Agreement (including non-payment of fees under any applicable fee schedule) or any other agreement you have with us, you agree that we may suspend or terminate your access to any of your Online Accounts and Online Services. We are not required to reinstate or re-activate your access.

If you close all your Online Accounts, terminate your Online Services, or withdraw from the Service, we may suspend or terminate your access without prior notification. We are not required to reinstate or re-activate your access. If reinstated, the then-current terms of this Agreement will control.

If you want to remove online access for an Online Account, you can do so by calling your branch office during regular business hours, emailing us at contactus@midambk.com, or by writing a letter and sending it to:

LIMIT OF MID AMERICA BANK’S RESPONSIBILITY

Mid America Bank agrees to make reasonable efforts to ensure full performance of our Online Banking service. We will be responsible for acting only on those instructions sent through Online Banking which are actually received and cannot assume responsibility for malfunctions in communication facilities not under our control, which may affect the accuracy or timeliness of messages you send. We are not responsible for any losses should you give incorrect instructions, or if your instructions are not given sufficiently in advance to allow for timely payment.

Any information you receive from Mid America Bank is believed to be reliable. However, it can only be provided on a best-efforts basis for your convenience and is not guaranteed. We are not liable for any deficiencies in the accuracy, completeness, availability, or timeliness of such information, or for any investment or other decision made using this information.

Mid America Bank will not be responsible for any computer virus, or related problems, which may be attributable to services provided by an Internet Service Provider.

You are responsible for obtaining, installing, maintaining, and operating all computer hardware and software necessary for performing Online Banking functions. Mid America Bank will not be responsible for any errors or failures from the malfunction or failure of your hardware or software. The limit of our liability shall be as expressly set forth herein. Under no circumstances will Mid America Bank be liable in contract, tort, or otherwise for any special, incidental, or consequential damages, whether or not foreseeable. By consenting to use Online Banking, you agree to waive any and all right to any of the aforesaid, and you acknowledge that the limit of your remedy is as otherwise expressly set forth herein.

MID AMERICA BANK’S RESPONSIBILITY TO OUR CUSTOMERS

Mid America Bank will be responsible for your actual losses if they are directly caused by our failure to:

  • Complete an Electronic Funds Transfer as properly requested
  • Cancel an Electronic Funds Transfer as properly requested

However, we will not be responsible for your losses if:

  • Through no fault of Mid America Bank, you do not have enough funds in your account to make the transfer.
  • Circumstances beyond our control (e.g. fire, flood, power outage, equipment or technical breakdown) prevent the transfer, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken.
  • There is a hold on your account, or if access to your account is blocked in accordance with policy.
  • Your funds are subject to legal process or other encumbrance restricting the transfer.
  • Your transfer authorization terminates by operation of law.
  • You believe someone has accessed your accounts without your permission and you fail to notify us immediately.
  • You have not properly followed the scheduling instructions on how to make a transfer included in this Agreement.
  • We have received incomplete or inaccurate information from you regarding the account or transfer.
  • We have reasonable basis for believing that unauthorized use of your Password or account has occurred or may be occurring, or if you default under this Agreement, the Deposit Account Agreement, a credit agreement, or any other agreement with us, or if we or you terminate this Agreement.

There may be other exceptions stated in this Agreement and in other agreements with you. In no event shall we be liable for damages in excess of your actual loss due to our failure to complete a transfer, and we will not be liable for any incidental or consequential damages. If any of the circumstances listed above shall occur, we shall assist you with reasonable efforts in taking appropriate corrective action to reprocess the transactions that may not have been completed or to correct incorrect transactions that have been processed.

CONSUMER LIABILITY

Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your password has been lost or stolen. Telephoning is the best way of keeping your losses down. You could lose all the money in your account plus your maximum limit from an overdraft line of credit or your overdraft privilege. If you believe your password has been lost or stolen, and you tell us within 2 business days after you learn of the loss or theft, you can lose no more than $50.00 if someone used your password without your permission.

If you do NOT tell us within 2 business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your password, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your password without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.00.

Also, if your statement shows transfers 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 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 hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods.

Contact us in the event of unauthorized transfer. If you believe your password has been lost or stolen or that someone has transferred or may transfer money from your account without your permission, contact us immediately.

ERROR RESOLUTION NOTICE

Telephone your Mid America Bank branch during regular banking hours or write to us at Mid America Bank, 1511 Friendship Road, Jefferson City, Missouri, 65101 as soon as you can, if you think your statement is wrong, or if your need more information about a transfer listed on the statement. We must hear from you no later than sixty (60) days after we sent the first statement on which the problem or error appeared.

  1. Tell us your name and account number.
  2. Describe the error or the transfer you are unsure about and explain as clearly as you can why you believe it is an error or why you need more information.
  3. Tell us the dollar amount of the suspected error.

If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your complaint or question in writing within 10 business days.

We will determine whether an error occurred within 10 business days (20 business days if the transfer involved a new account) after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 days (90 days if the transfer involved a new account) to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will credit your account within 10 business days (20 business days if the transfer involved a new account) 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 credit your account. Your account is considered a new account for the first 30 days after the first deposit is made, unless each of you already has an established account with us before this account is opened.

We will notify you of the results within 3 business days after completing our investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation. You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation.

Please examine your statement promptly and immediately advise us of any errors. If no error is reported within sixty (60) days, the statement will be considered correct.

ONLINE LOAN PAYMENTS

Mid America Bank’s Online Banking will allow customers to transfer funds between certain types of deposit accounts and will allow certain types of payments to loans.  If you are wishing to pay off the balance of your loan and close your account, you must contact our Loan Administration team at 573-635-0019 to confirm your payoff amount and process your transaction.

ONLINE STATEMENTS ADDITIONAL TERMS OF SERVICE

By enrolling in electronic statement, you will continue to receive your regular account statement either monthly or quarterly, depending on the type of account. You may also view your most recent statement online. 

ONLINE BILL PAY ADDITIONAL TERMS OF SERVICE

When we receive a payment instruction (for the current or a future date), we will transfer funds to the payee on your behalf from the funds in your Eligible Online Account on the date the payment is to be processed (the "Payment Date").

Funds for ALL bill payments will be withdrawn from your Eligible Online Account on the scheduled Payment Date. We will not be obligated to make a payment unless your Eligible Online Account and/or linked overdraft protection plan has sufficient funds or credit availability to pay the bill on the Payment Date. If your Eligible Online Account is closed by you or by us for any reason, all pending payments associated with that account will be canceled.

There will be a delay between the Payment Date and the date a payee receives that payment. Any payment made through our Online Bill Pay service requires sufficient time for your payee to receive your payment and credit your account properly. To avoid a late payment and any subsequent fees charged by the payee, you must schedule a payment sufficiently in advance of the due date of your payment. YOU MUST SCHEDULE YOUR PAYMENTS AT LEAST FIVE (5) FULL BUSINESS DAYS PRIOR TO THE DATE THE PAYMENT IS DUE TO THE PAYEE. Additionally, you must time your payment using the payment due date and not the last day of any grace period established by the payee. For such scheduling purposes, your first business day is the business day after your scheduled payment date. Payments must be scheduled before 6:00 p.m. on a business day (Central Time) to be effective the same business day.

For any claim (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) where the total amount of the award sought is less than $10,000.00 USD, the party requesting relief may elect to resolve the dispute in a cost effective manner through binding non-appearance-based arbitration. If a party elects arbitration, that party will initiate such arbitration through Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services ("JAMS"), the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), or an established alternative dispute resolution (ADR) administrator mutually agreed upon by the parties. The parties agree that the following rules shall apply: (a) the arbitration may be conducted telephonically, online and/or be solely based on written submissions, at the election of the party initiating the arbitration; (b) the arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties, their representatives or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties; (c) discovery shall not be permitted; (d) the matter shall be submitted for decision within ninety (90) days of initiation of arbitration, unless otherwise agreed by the parties, and the arbitrator must render a decision within thirty (30) days of submission; and (e) any award in such arbitration shall be final and binding upon the parties and may be submitted to any court of competent jurisdiction for confirmation. The parties acknowledge that remedies available under federal, state and local laws remain available through arbitration. NO CLASS ACTION, OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR JOINDER OR CONSOLIDATION OF ANY CLAIM WITH A CLAIM OF ANOTHER PERSON SHALL BE ALLOWABLE IN ARBITRATION.

29. Law and Forum for Disputes. Unless our account agreement with you states otherwise, this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State in which you reside, without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions. To the extent that the terms of this Agreement conflict with applicable state or federal law, such state or federal law shall replace such conflicting terms only to the extent required by law. Unless expressly stated otherwise, all other terms of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Unless our account agreement with you states otherwise, you agree that any claim or dispute you may have against us (other than those which are arbitrated under Section 28 of the General Terms above) must be resolved by a court located in the county in which you reside. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of litigating all claims or disputes unless said claim is submitted to arbitration under Section 28 of the General Terms of this Agreement. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this Agreement. Both parties agree to waive any right to have a jury participate in the resolution of any dispute or claim between the parties or any of their respective Affiliates arising under this Agreement.

30. Indemnification. You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless us and our Affiliates and Service Providers and their Affiliates and the employees and contractors of each of these, from any loss, damage, claim or demand (including attorney’s fees) made or incurred by any third party due to or arising out of your breach of this Agreement and/or your use of the Site or the applicable Service.

31. Release. You release us and our Affiliates and Service Providers and the employees and contractors of each of these, from any and all claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature arising out of or in any way connected with any dispute that may arise between you or one or more other users of the Site or the applicable Service. In addition, if applicable to you, you waive California Civil Code §1542, which states that a general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if not known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.

32. No Waiver. We shall not be deemed to have waived any rights or remedies hereunder unless such waiver is in writing and signed by one of our authorized representatives. No delay or omission on our part in exercising any rights or remedies shall operate as a waiver of such rights or remedies or any other rights or remedies. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar or waiver of any rights or remedies on future occasions.

33. Exclusions of Warranties. THE SITE AND SERVICE AND RELATED DOCUMENTATION ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. IN PARTICULAR, WE DO NOT GUARANTEE CONTINUOUS, UNINTERRUPTED OR SECURE ACCESS TO ANY PART OF OUR SERVICE, AND OPERATION OF OUR SITE MAY BE INTERFERED WITH BY NUMEROUS FACTORS OUTSIDE OF OUR CONTROL. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE DISCLAIMER OF CERTAIN IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE FOREGOING DISCLAIMERS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

IN NO EVENT SHALL WE OR OUR AFFILIATES OR SERVICE PROVIDERS OR THE EMPLOYEES OR CONTRACTORS OF ANY OF THESE, BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF GOODWILL OR LOST PROFITS (EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY THEREOF) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE INSTALLATION, USE, OR MAINTENANCE OF THE SERVICE OR THE PORTION OF THE SITE THROUGH WHICH THE SERVICE IS OFFERED, EVEN IF SUCH DAMAGES WERE REASONABLY FORESEEABLE AND NOTICE WAS GIVEN REGARDING THEM. IN NO EVENT SHALL WE OR OUR AFFILIATES OR SERVICE PROVIDERS OR THE EMPLOYEES OR CONTRACTORS OF ANY OF THESE BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE OR THE PORTION OF THE SITE THROUGH WHICH THE SERVICE IS OFFERED THAT YOU DO NOT STATE IN WRITING IN A COMPLAINT FILED IN A COURT OR ARBITRATION PROCEEDING AS DESCRIBED IN SECTIONS 28 AND 29 OF THE GENERAL TERMS ABOVE WITHIN TWO (2) YEARS OF THE DATE THAT THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OCCURRED. THESE LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY TO ALL CAUSES OF ACTION, WHETHER ARISING FROM BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY.

SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

35. Complete Agreement, Severability, Captions, and Survival. You agree that this Agreement is the complete and exclusive statement of the agreement between us, sets forth the entire understanding between us and you with respect to the Service and the portion of the Site through which the Service is offered and supersedes any proposal or prior agreement, oral or written, and any other communications between us. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be struck and the remaining provisions shall be enforced. The captions of Sections in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Sections 2, 5-7, 11, 17, 18, 23, and 26-35 of the General Terms, as well as any other terms which by their nature should survive, will survive the termination of this Agreement.

The Account to Account transfer service (for purposes of these Transfer Money Terms, and the General Terms as they apply to these Transfer Money Terms, the "Service") enables you to transfer funds between your Account(s) that you maintain with us on the one hand, and your Account(s) that are maintained by other financial institutions, on the other hand.
  2. You represent and warrant that you are either the sole owner or a joint owner of the Eligible Transaction Account and the External Account and that you have all necessary legal right, power and authority to transfer funds between the Eligible Transaction Account and the External Account. If you are a joint owner of the Eligible Transaction Account, External Account, or both, then you represent and warrant that (i) you have been authorized by all of the other joint owners to operate such Accounts without their consent (including without limitation to withdraw or deposit any amount of funds to such Accounts or to even withdraw all funds from such Accounts); and (ii) we may act on your instructions regarding such Accounts without liability to such other joint owners. Further, you represent and warrant that the External Account is located in the United States.
  3. You may initiate (1) a one-time Transfer Instruction for which processing shall be initiated immediately, (2) a one-time Transfer Instruction for which processing shall be initiated at a later specified date up to one (1) year, and (3) a recurring series of Transfer Instructions for which processing shall be initiated on the specified dates. Further details about each of these options can be found on the Site. When we receive a Transfer Instruction from you, you authorize us to (i) debit your Eligible Transaction Account and remit funds on your behalf to the External Account designated by you and to debit your applicable Account as described below in Section 5 of the Transfer Money Terms (Service Fees and Additional Charges); or, as applicable, to (ii) credit your Eligible Transaction Account and remit funds on your behalf from the External Account designated by you and to debit your applicable Account as described below in Section 5 of the Transfer Money Terms (Service Fees and Additional Charges). You also authorize us to reverse a transfer from the applicable Account if the debit is returned from the other Account in the transaction for any reason, including but not limited to nonsufficient funds. Transfers may be delayed or blocked to prevent fraud or comply with regulatory requirements. If we delay or block a Transfer Instruction that you have initiated, we will notify you in accordance with your user preferences (i.e. email, push notification).
  4. We will use reasonable efforts to make all your transfers properly. However, we shall incur no liability if we are unable to complete any transfers initiated by you because of the existence of any one or more of the following circumstances:
     
    1. If, through no fault of ours, the Eligible Transaction Account or External Account does not contain sufficient funds to complete the transfer or the transfer would exceed the credit limit of your overdraft account;
       
    2. The Service is not working properly and you know or have been advised by us about the malfunction before you execute the transaction;
       
    3. The transfer is refused as described in Section 6 of the Transfer Money Terms below;
       
    4. You have not provided us with the correct information, including but not limited to the correct Eligible Transaction Account or External Account information; and/or,
       
    5. Circumstances beyond our control (such as, but not limited to, fire, flood, network or system down time, issues with the financial institution(s), or interference from an outside force) prevent the proper execution of the transfer and we have taken reasonable precautions to avoid those circumstances.
       
  5. It is your responsibility to ensure the accuracy of any information that you enter into the Service, and for informing us as soon as possible if you become aware that this information is inaccurate. You may not use a P.O. Box as a postal address. We will make a reasonable effort to stop or recover a transfer made to the wrong Account once informed, but we do not guarantee such recovery and will bear no responsibility or liability for damages resulting from incorrect information entered by you.

2. Transfer Methods and Amounts. Section 15 of the General Terms (Payment Methods and Amounts) applies to the Service, even in circumstances where the External Account is closed and we are attempting to return funds to such Account.

3. Transfer Cancellation Requests. You may cancel a transfer at any time until it begins processing (as shown in the Service).

4. Stop Payment Requests. If you desire to stop any transfer that has already been processed, you must contact customer care for the Service pursuant to Section 22 of the General Terms. Although we will make a reasonable effort to accommodate your request, we will have no liability for failing to do so. We may also require you to present your request in writing within fourteen (14) days. The charge for each request will be the current charge for such service as set out in the applicable fee schedule.

5. Service Fees and Additional Charges. You are responsible for paying all fees associated with your use of the Service. Applicable fees will be disclosed in the user interface for, or elsewhere within, the Service or Site. Any applicable fees will be charged regardless of whether the Service was used, except for fees that are specifically use-based. Use-based fees for the Service will be charged against the Account that is debited for the funds transfer. There may also be charges for additional transactions and other optional services. You agree to pay such charges and authorize us to deduct the calculated amount from the applicable Eligible Transaction Account you hold with us or the Account that is debited for the funds transfer, depending on how such charges are described in the user interface for the Service. Any financial fees associated with your standard deposit accounts will continue to apply. You are responsible for any and all telephone access fees and Internet service fees that may be assessed by your telephone and Internet service provider. Section 18 of the General Terms (Failed Or Returned Payment Instructions) applies if you do not pay our fees and charges for the Service, including without limitation if we debit the External Account for such fees, as described in this Section, and there are insufficient fees in the External Account; Section 18 of the General Terms should be interpreted as applying to the External Account, not just the Eligible Transaction Account, in such circumstances.

6. Refused Transfers. We reserve the right to refuse any transfer. As required by applicable law, we will notify you promptly if we decide to refuse to transfer funds.

7. Returned or Failed Transfers. In using the Service, you understand transfers may be returned or fail for various reasons such as, but not limited to, the External Account number is not valid. We will use reasonable efforts to research and correct the transfer to the intended Account or void the transfer. We will, to the extent permitted by law, make reasonable attempts to return any unclaimed, refused, refunded, prohibited, failed, or denied transfer to your Account that we debited for the funds transfer or use other reasonable efforts to return such transfer to you as permitted by law. In certain cases, we may require you to contact us or the financial institution for your External Account to initiate a request to receive such funds. You may receive notification from us.
