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.

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 South Shore Bank Digital Banking 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.

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.

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 the Bank’s control. We neither guarantee the delivery nor the accuracy of the contents of each Alert. You agree to not hold the 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.
  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.

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. 
  32. 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 31 of these Bill Pay 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 31 of these Bill Pay terms. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this Agreement.

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.

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.
  35. 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.
  36. 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.

  41. Payment Scheduling. The earliest possible Scheduled Payment Date for each Biller will be designated within the portion of the Site through which the Service is offered when you are scheduling the payment. Therefore, the Service will not permit you to select a Scheduled Payment Date less than the earliest possible Scheduled Payment Date designated for each Biller. When scheduling payments you must select a Scheduled Payment Date that is no later than the actual Due Date reflected on Your Biller statement unless the Due Date falls on a non-Business Day. If the actual Due Date falls on a non-Business Day, you must select a Scheduled Payment Date that is at least one (1) Business Day before the actual Due Date. Scheduled Payment Dates must be prior to any late date or grace period. Depending on the method of payment, Your Eligible Transaction Account may be debited prior to the Scheduled Payment Date. For example, if the selected method of payment is a draft check drawn on Your Account, the draft check arrives earlier than the Scheduled Payment Date due to expedited delivery by the postal service, and the Biller immediately deposits the draft check, Your Eligible Transaction Account may be debited earlier than the Scheduled Payment Date.
  42. The Service Guarantee. Due to circumstances beyond the control of the Service, particularly delays in handling and posting payments by Billers or financial institutions, some transactions may take longer to be credited to Your Account. The Service will bear responsibility for any late payment related charges up to $50.00 should a payment post after its Due Date as long as the payment was scheduled in accordance with Section 41 of these Bill Pay terms (Payment Scheduling). 
  43. Payment Authorization and Payment Remittance. By providing the Service with names and account information of Billers to whom you wish to direct payments, you authorize the Service to follow the Payment Instructions that it receives through the Site.

However, the Service shall incur no liability and any Service Guarantee (as described in Section 43 of these Bill Pay terms) shall be void if the Service is unable to complete any payments initiated by you because of the existence of any one or more of the following circumstances:

The Service may also not have a reasonable opportunity to act on any stop payment request after a payment has been processed. If you desire to stop any payment that has already been processed, you must contact customer care for the Service in the manner set forth in Section 5 of these Bill Pay terms above. Although the Service will attempt to accommodate Your request, the Service will have no liability for failing to do so.

The charge for each stop payment request will be the current charge for such service as set out in the applicable fee schedule.

We will notify Your electronic Biller(s) as to the change in status of Your Account and it is Your sole responsibility to make arrangements for an alternative form of bill delivery. We will not be responsible for presenting any electronic bills that are already in process at the time of cancellation.

When you click on the "I Agree to accept the terms and conditions" button, you agree to accept the Terms, including any amendments to this Agreement or any changes in the Terms.

In most cases, you will receive the notice online the next time you log in; however, the bank reserves the right to notify you by email or by conventional mail, in its discretion. You agree that if you continue to use the Service after We notify you of any change, you thereby accept the changes to the Terms and agree to be bound by this Agreement, as amended. If you do not accept and agree to the changes to the Terms, you will not be entitled to use the Service. If you do not agree to the changes, or if at any time you wish to discontinue Your use of the Service, you can unsubscribe by contacting the Bank. Once Your Account with the Bank has terminated for any reason, you will have no further right or access to use the Service. Business Days: The Service will process requests for transfers on business days. Our business days are Monday through Friday. Holidays and Bank Holidays are not included. How the Service Works: The Bank will verify Your other financial institution accounts that you link to the Service. You authorize Us to validate the accounts through the use of a test transfer (known as a trial deposit), in which one or more low value payments will be both credited to and debited from the linked account. The test credit will always occur before the test debit and will always be of the same or lesser amount, so that the balance in any of Your Accounts will never be less than the actual balance. Once the test transfer is complete We will ask you to access Your linked account to tell Us the amount of the test credit or debit or any additional information reported by Your bank with this test transfer. We may also verify accounts through requiring the entry of information you ordinarily use to access the account provider's web site, or by requiring you to submit proof of ownership of the account. An “Inbound Transfer” moves funds into an Account at the Bank from an account outside the Bank. An “Outbound Transfer” moves funds from an Account at the Bank to an account outside the Bank. You will need to register each of Your non-South Shore Bank Accounts that you wish to use for these transfers. You agree that you will only attempt to register Accounts for which you have the authority to transfer funds. The Bank will post Inbound Transfers to Your Account on the "Deliver By" date. For Outbound Transfers, Your funds will be debited on the Business Day following the "Send On" date and arrive at Your external financial institution on the "Deliver By" date. Consult Your external financial institution for details on when funds will post to Your account. For transfers into a Bank Account, the funds may not be available until the third Business Day after the "Deliver By" date. For transfers into South Shore Bank Accounts, the funds will become available in accordance with the terms of Your Account Agreement.

Modifying or Cancelling Transfers: Pending transfer instructions can be cancelled or modified until the status changes to "In Process." Instructions cannot be cancelled or modified after cut-off time for the transfer date. Transfer Fees: There is no fee to initiate Inbound Transfers or Outbound Transfers. We may change Our fee schedule at any time. If We make a change, you will be notified in writing as required by applicable law. Cancellation of the services for which fees are charged does not release you from liability for any and all fees assessed by Us but not yet paid prior to Your cancellation of such service. Transfer Limits: Generally, transfer limits are set at $1500 daily and $3000 monthly but may change at any time. You may contact the Bank to verify the limits established for you. These daily and monthly dollar limits apply to the total of all transfers for all accounts linked to the user profile. Any transfer initiated on a day that is not a Business Day counts toward the applicable limit for the next Business Day. A transfer remains "In Process" until fully processed. Standard transfers typically remain "In Process" until the close of the third Business Day after the transfer is initiated.
