Online Banking and Service Agreement and Disclosure Statement

Thank you for your interest in the United Community Bank Internet Banking service (the “Service”). This Agreement and Disclosure Statement (the “Agreement”) provides information about the United Community Bank (“United”) online banking service and contains the disclosures required by the Electronic Funds Transfer Act.

This Online Banking and Service Agreement and Disclosure Statement has been updated to reflect the addition of Mobile Banking Services that are now offered as part of our online banking services package. You must enroll in Online Banking in order to access Mobile Banking Services. Please review the following disclosure information. Once you have completely reviewed the information, click “I Understand and Accept” to indicate your agreement and to begin the process of online banking and mobile banking.

For purposes of this Agreement, each reference in the Agreement to “United”, ‘we”, “us”, or “our” refers to United Community Bank, and each reference to “you”, and “your” refers to each depositor, borrower, authorized signer, or authorized user for a deposit account or loan, who is now or hereafter enrolled in any one or more of United's online banking services with respect to said accounts.

A. ACCEPTANCE OF UNITED TERMS AND CONDITIONS

I may become eligible for the Service by submitting the United Enrollment Application (the “Enrollment Application”). By submitting the Enrollment Application and clicking “I Understand and Accept” as described above, or by initially accessing the Service, you are agreeing to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

You agree to use the Service solely for the services described in the Agreement and designated by you in the Enrollment Application, and solely in connection with each deposit account (collectively, the “Accounts”), except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or as otherwise expressly permitted by us from time to time. Under this Agreement, there may be multiple accounts. You understand that in order to use the Service, you must have at least one Account that is a checking account with unlimited check writing privileges. You may add additional Accounts for which you, or all of you if more than one, are depositor, borrower, authorized signer, or authorized user by notifying United in writing at : United Community Bank, Attn: Online Banking Dept., P.O. Box 398, Blairsville GA 30514, or by visiting any United location. If you close or delete the only checking account designated for United online banking, you will no longer be able to use the Service.

Throughout the United website, United will provide you with guidance and online instructions and messages. You agree to read and abide by such instructions and messages. Each time you use the Service, you agree to the terms of this Agreement and any additional terms and conditions that may appear on your computer when you sign on to the United website or during your use of the Service. This Agreement will be effective as of the date we issue you an Access ID and Password (the “Access ID” and “Password”). Please read this Agreement carefully and print it by selecting the Printer icon on the Toolbar or selecting File, Print.

B. DEFINITIONS

The following definitions apply in this Agreement.

"Online Banking" is United Community Bank’s Internet-based service providing access to your Online Account(s).

"Password" is the series of 8 to 17 numbers and letters that you select as a code used in conjunction with the access ID to establish your connection to the Online Banking service. Your password must consist of at least 1 letter and 2 numbers.

"One-Time Password" is a series of numbers and letters that we select that will be sent to you electronically and will allow you access to mobile banking for one session. A different one-time password will be sent to you electronically for subsequent sessions.

"PIN" is a four digit personal identification number that you select to access mobile banking services.

C. BROWSER SECURITY

United Community Bank Internet Banking transmits data using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology that supports 128-bit key encryption. It is important to verify that a secure connection between United and the Internet Banking server has been established before transmitting any confidential account information over the Internet. An indicator in the lower right corner of the screen can verify this. When using Netscape, if the lock symbol appears "solid" transmitted data is being encrypted. When this lock symbol appears "broken", a secure session has not been established. Similarly, Microsoft Internet Explorer has a lock symbol that appears when data is being encrypted. When this symbol does not appear, a session is not secure.

D. HOST SECURITY

United Community Bank’s web server does not connect directly to the Internet. It is buffered from the Internet through the use of a firewall. All access from outside the bank must go through this firewall, which screens the requests and allows only valid https traffic to reach the server. United Community Bank Internet Banking makes use of an ICSA certified firewall.

E. HOURS OF OPERATION

Business days for United are 8:30am to 5:00pm Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. You may access the Service 24 hours a day, seven days a week, except that United cannot guarantee that the Service will always be available during these times. United cannot guarantee that we will be able to provide notice of such interruptions and changes, although we will attempt to provide such notice. In addition, access to the Service is made available pursuant to a license agreement by and between United and Information Technology Inc. Any interruption of service or access caused by the Service Provider will also prevent your use of the Service or performance of the Service.

F. SECURE ACCESS TO SITE

United believes the safety and security of its customers’ accounts and account information is important. To ensure protection of your Accounts, you must access the Service via a personal computer or mobile access device with your Access ID and Password. We will assign you an online banking Access ID and Password after we have accepted your Enrollment Application. When you first access the Service, you will be required to select a new Access ID and Password. Your Access ID must be at least 8 characters and your Password must be 8 to 17 characters consisting of at least 1 letter and 2 numbers. You may change your Password from time to time, as provided in the software. We recommend that you not use your social security number, birthday, name, or other code that may be easy for others to determine as your Password.

In order to access Mobile Banking, you will utilize the same Access ID that you use for online banking.  You will also be required to enter a One-Time Password and 4-digit PIN each time you access the system.  You will receive a new One-Time Password electronically each time you access the mobile banking system.

No United employee will ever ask you for your Password, nor should you provide it to anyone. YOU AGREE TO KEEP YOUR PASSWORD AND ONE-TIME PASSWORD CONFIDENTIAL. USE OF THE PASSWORD OR ONE-TIME 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 THE SERVICE. You agree that any United online banking request initiated by use of the Password or One-Time Password will be subject to and governed by this Agreement. Thus, we urge you to maintain the safety and security of your Access ID and Password.

If you authorize another person to use your Access ID and Password or One-Time Password, that person can use the Service to perform any of the functions that you may perform. For example, that person may view any information or initiate any transaction on any of your Accounts to which that person does not otherwise have access. You agree not to share your Access ID and Password or One-Time Password with other parties. You agree to assume responsibility for all transactions initiated through the Service with your Access ID and Password, up to the limits allowed by applicable law. In addition, if you allow another person or business to store your Access ID and Password on their computer, the stored information may be at risk of unauthorized access from third parties. United has not authorized any outside company to request or use your Access ID and Password for any purpose, on the Internet or otherwise.

Once you are finished with your online or mobile banking activity, you should promptly and properly log off the Service. You also agree to never leave your computer unattended while accessing the Service. If you should, a third party may be able to access your Accounts from your terminal without ever needing to use your Access ID and Password.

G. IF YOUR PASSWORD HAS BEEN LOST OR STOLEN

If a third party should gain access to your Access ID and Password, you alone are responsible for changing the Password to deny the third party’s access to your banking information. We also require that you keep a record of what information you shared, and as always, that you carefully monitor and review the activity in your Account.

If you believe your Password has been lost or stolen, call United immediately at (866) 270-7100, 8:30 AM to 8:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Contacting United via telephone is the best way of minimizing your losses. You may also restore the security of your Service by changing your Password. 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 if someone uses your Password to conduct unauthorized electronic funds transfers. 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 to conduct unauthorized electronic funds transfers had you told us prior to the end of the 2-day period, you could lose as much as $500. 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 lost after the 60 day period if we could have stopped someone from taking the money had you told us prior to the end of the 60 day period.

H. ONLINE BANKING SERVICES

ii.  Processing. Funds will be deducted from your designated Account for Bill Payment at the time the payment is processed by the Payee. Bill Payments are electronically delivered to payees within four business days. Some payees are, however, not set up to accept electronic Bill Payment . In those cases, a check will be sent from you to be received by the Payee within four business days.

iii. You agree to allow sufficient time (four business days) for the Service to receive your request and process the Bill Payments so that funds will be delivered by the due date. If you do not comply with the time frame specified for processing your Bill Payment request, you agree to assume full responsibility for all late fees, finance charges, or other actions taken by payee. In the case of repeating payments, if the payment date falls on a weekend, the actual date that the Payee is scheduled to receive the payment will fall on the previous Friday.

iv.  If your Bill Payment Account does not have sufficient funds to make a payment as of the date the Payee processes the funds, an attempt will be made to disburse those funds and a “non-sufficient funds” charge will be applied to the designated Account. United shall have no obligation or liability if the payment does not complete because there are insufficient funds in your Account to process a transaction. You will be responsible for resubmitting the payment when funds are available. In all cases, you are responsible for making alternate arrangements for the payment or rescheduling the payment through the Service.

3. Account Transfers

i.    You may use the Service to initiate electronic funds transfers from a checking, savings or money market deposit account to any other deposit account at United. These types of transactions are referred to in this Agreement as “bank transfers”.

ii.   You expressly authorize United to debit the appropriate Account in the amount of any bank transfer initiated through the Service by you or by any other person whom you authorize to use your Access ID and Password. You agree that we may treat any such bank transfer from an Account the same as a duly executed written withdrawal, transfer, or check and that we may treat any such bank transfer to an Account the same as a deposit, all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and your deposit agreement(s) with us.

iii.  You must have sufficient funds available in the selected account at the time the transfer is received, including any available overdraft protection.  We may process transfers that exceed your available balance at our sole discretion.  If we do process the transfer and it results in an overdraft in your account balance, you will be charged the standard “non-sufficient funds” fee.

iv.  Bank transfers between Accounts may be limited by federal law or by the terms of your deposit agreement with us. Bank transfers from Accounts that are savings or money market deposit accounts are limited as required by federal regulation. For statement savings accounts, you may not make more than 6 transfers per statement period by preauthorized or automatic transfer or by telephone or on-line banking. For money market accounts, you may not make more than 6 transfers per statement period by preauthorized or automatic transfer or by telephone or online banking, by check (including online bill payments), draft or debit card. You agree that we may, without notice or other obligation to you, refuse to make any bank transfer for security reasons or as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or your deposit agreement with us.

All account information provided via the Service will be current as of the end of the preceding business day, and is subject to further adjustment and correction. Because the information is made available to you as “raw data” furnished through the Service Provider and is subject to change, we cannot assure you of the accuracy or completeness of the Account information and expressly disclaim the same.

Debiting an account or deducting payment from the amount of any bank transfer or loan payment is not United’s exclusive remedy under this or any other Section of this Agreement, and United will not be deemed to have made an election of remedies by making any such debit or deduction on any one or more occasions.

The only warranties are those provided by the licensor of the software and set forth on the software package. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, United shall not be liable at any time to you or any other person for any loss, charge, fee, penalty, expense or other damage resulting from any failure or delay of the performance of United’s responsibilities under this Agreement which is caused or occasioned by any act or thing beyond United’s reasonable control, including, without limitation, legal restraint, interruption of transmission facilities, the failure of mechanical or electronic equipment communications lines, telephone or other interconnect problems, operator errors, log-in sequences, severe weather, earthquakes, floods or other such events, or refusal or delay by the Service Provider or another bank or financial institution to execute any bank transfer or loan payment. In addition, United shall be excused from any failure or delay in executing a bank transfer or loan payment, if such execution would result in the violation of any applicable state or federal law, rule, regulation or guideline. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that United shall not have any liability whatsoever for any loss caused by the act, error, or omission of you or any other person, including, without limitation, the Service Provider, any internet access service provider, any Federal Reserve Bank or transmission or communications facility or any intermediary or receiving financial institution, and no such person shall be deemed United’s agent.

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 or bill payment, and we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, exemplary or consequential damages.

N. REJECTION OF PAYMENT ORDERS; OVERDRAFTS

You acknowledge that United or the Service Provider may from time to time, in its sole discretion, reject any bank transfer or payment request (any “Payment Order”) or return any bank transfer or payment. If a Payment Order is rejected or a bank transfer or payment is returned, either United or the Service Provider will notify you and you will have the sole obligation to retry the payment order in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the software. United or the Service Provider may from time to time, in its sole discretion and without any obligation to do so, execute any payment order or make any bank transfer or payment even though an overdraft to the account results.
