This agreement states the terms and conditions that apply when you use CBPH Internet Banking. These terms and conditions are in addition to those that apply to any accounts you have with us or any other services you obtain from us. By signing an application form or by your initial access to CBPH Internet Banking service you agree to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
DEFINITIONS. "Bank", " CBPH ", “Community Bank of Pleasant Hill”, "we", "us", or "our" refers to CBPH, and "you" and "your" refers to each depositor, borrower, authorized signer, or authorized user for an account with CBPH.
SECURITY. CBPH Internet Banking transmits data using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology that supports 128-bit key encryption. If your browser does not support 128-bit encryption, you will not be able to access Internet Banking. The CBPH web server does not connect directly to the Internet. It is buffered from the Internet through the use of firewalls and a service provider interface. All access from outside the bank must go through these firewalls, which screens the requests and allows only valid http traffic to reach the server.
- Hardware and Software Requirements. To be able to use CBPH Internet Banking, you must provide your own personal computer with Internet access. CBPH Internet Banking can be accessed through a basic web browser like Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. (See Security above for encryption requirements.) You are and will remain solely responsible for the purchase, hook-up, installation, loading, operation, and maintenance your own personal computer and for all related costs. You are solely responsible for scanning the Hardware and the Software for computer viruses and other related problems before you use them
- The Accounts. You agree to use CBPH Internet Banking solely for the services described in this Agreement. You may designate multiple accounts in conjunction with your Internet Banking access. You may add any account for which you or all of you if more than one, are depositor, borrower, authorized signer, or authorized user by notifying the Bank or by visiting any Bank branch office. If you close or delete all accounts designated for CBPH Internet Banking, you will no longer be able to use CBPH Internet Banking service.
- ID and Password; Confidentiality of Password. All CBPH Internet Banking transactions or inquiries must be initiated by use of your CBPH Internet Banking Identification (ID) and Password. We will assign you an ID and Password after we have accepted your Application. The first time you sign on CBPH Internet Banking, you will be required to select a new Password. It is recommended that you do not use your social security number, birthdays, names, or other codes that may be easy for others to determine as your Password. No Bank employee will ever ask for your Password, nor should you provide it to anyone unless you intend to allow that person access to your accounts. YOU AGREE TO KEEP YOUR PASSWORD CONFIDENTIAL. USE OF THE Password BY YOU OR BY ANY OTHER PERSON WITH YOUR AUTHORIZATION WILL BE CONSIDERED THE SAME AS YOUR WRITTEN SIGNATURE AUTHORIZING US TO COMPLETE ANY TRANSACTION OR REQUEST COMMUNICATED THROUGH CBPH INTERNET BANKING.
Along with the Password number and individual ID provided by the bank, you will also be provided with Multi-Factor Authentication during Internet Banking sign on as an extra layer of security for your protection. With Multi-Factor Authentication, the Internet Banking user sets their security questions as well as determines the security key.
If you authorize another person to use your Password, that person can use CBPH Internet Banking to view any information or initiate any transaction on any of the accounts to the same extent as you, including viewing information or initiating transactions on accounts to which that person does not otherwise have access. As such, your sharing of your Password is strongly discouraged by the Bank, and done at your own risk. If a third party should gain access to your Password, you alone are responsible for changing the Password so as to deny the third party’s access to your banking information. Given the electronic nature of these transactions, the Bank shall have no liability to you in the event a third party should gain access to your Password through no fault of the Bank. You should always exit CBPH Internet Banking after you finish viewing your accounts. Never leave your computer unattended while accessing CBPH Internet Banking. If you do, a third party may be able to access your accounts from your terminal, without ever needing to use your Password. - Business Days. Business days for the Bank and for CBPH Internet Banking are Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. You may access the accounts through CBPH Internet Banking 24 hours a day, seven days a week. CBPH may perform regular maintenance on our systems or equipment, which may result in interrupted service. We will attempt to provide notification in advance of interrupted service.

You are responsible for setup of this download in order for your financial program or spreadsheet program to accept it.
- Transfers to and from Accounts. Internet Banking transfers between accounts are considered ‘electronic funds transfers’ as defined in Regulation E. Some accounts have transfer limitations, as described in the account disclosure provided to you at the time the account was opened. Any limitations that apply to your account(s) regarding deposits, transfers and withdrawals also apply through Internet Banking. You may use CBPH Internet Banking to initiate electronic fund transfers from deposit accounts (checking or savings) to other deposit accounts, or a loan account. Transfers may not be made from loan accounts or time accounts (certificates of deposit).

Because the information made available to you is ‘posted data’, it may not include transactions that have not yet been posted to your account for that business day. You will still receive your usual periodic printed statement of account.
