Bill Payment Service The Bill Payment service permits you to direct payments to businesses or individuals you wish to pay from the designated online Bill Pay Account selected during the enrollment process. Your Bill Pay Account must be a checking account. Money Market accounts are not applicable. In addition, you may select alternate checking accounts from which to pay your bills. All payments you make will be deducted from the designated Bill Pay account. Any payments you wish to make through this service must be payable in U.S. dollars to a payee located in the continental United States. We reserve the right to restrict types of payees to whom payments may be made using the Service from time to time. You should not use the Bill Payment Service to make payments to settle security purchases; payments to interest bearing accounts, tax payments, or court ordered payments. Payments to these payees will be your sole responsibility if delayed or improperly processed or credited. Funds must be available in your Bill Pay Account on the scheduled payment date. If the date you schedule a payment to be initiated falls on a non-business day (Saturday, Sunday or holiday), funds must be available in your Bill Pay Account the following business day (e.g., Monday). After funds are withdrawn from your Bill Pay Account to make a payment, we may make the payment either by transferring funds electronically to the payee or by mailing the payee a check. You may choose to schedule payments to recur in the same amount at regular weekly, monthly or semi-monthly intervals. When you create a new payee in the Bill Payment service, it has a temporary status until we have had sufficient time to set up the account, and for your business payees, verify information about your account. You should schedule a payment to a new payee at least ten (10) business days before any payment due date, to allow us time to set up the payee and verify information about your account with the payee. For all subsequent payments, you agree to allow at least ten (10) business days between the date you schedule a payment to be initiated and the payment due date (that is, the due date shown on your invoice or provided in your agreement with the payee, not taking into account any applicable grace period). If you do not, you will be fully responsible for all late fees, finance charges or other action taken by the payee. If you schedule your payment and follow all instructions provided, but the payment is not received by the payee in a timely manner, Dedham Savings will work with the payee on your behalf to attempt to have any late fees or charges reversed. Dedham Savings is only responsible for exercising ordinary care in processing and sending payments upon your authorization in accordance with this Agreement. Dedham Savings will not be liable in any way for damages you incur if you do not have sufficient funds in your Bill Pay Account to make the payment on the processing date, for delays in mail delivery, for changes to the payee's address or account number unless you have advised us of the change sufficiently in advance, for the failure of any payee correctly to account for or credit the payment in a timely manner, or for any other circumstances beyond the control of Dedham Savings. If the Online session during which you schedule a Bill Payment ends by 9:00 P.M. Eastern Time, Dedham Savings will be considered to have received it on that day. Otherwise, it will be considered received on the following business day. For all entries made using the service, the time is recorded by the Online Banking service controls. If your Bill Pay Account does not have sufficient funds to make a payment as of the date the transfer or payment is attempted or scheduled to be made, the transfer or payment will be canceled and no further attempt will be made by Dedham Savings to make the transfer or payment. In addition, your Designated account can be blocked due to overdrafts. If this occurs, no additional Bill Payments will be processed until the account is properly funded and all payments or transfers are cleared. Dedham Savings will attempt to notify you by e-mail or U.S. Postal Service, but Dedham Savings shall have no obligation or liability if it does not complete a transfer or payment because there are insufficient funds in your account to process a transaction. In all cases, you are responsible for either making alternate arrangements for the payment or rescheduling the payment through the Service. In the case of periodic payments, only the payment currently scheduled will be canceled. Periodic payments scheduled for future dates will not be affected. The way to cancel or change a payment is to use the Your Link Bill Pay Service. Payments must be changed or canceled using the Service prior to 9:00 P.M. Eastern Time on the business day the transaction is scheduled to be initiated. If you ask us to cancel a payment after it is issued and we agree to do so, we may charge you a stop payment fee. Stop payment orders, whether oral, written, or electronic, will be in effect for a period of six months. If requested by Dedham Savings, you will confirm any stop payment order in writing. After six months, any stop payment will terminate and must be renewed in order to continue in effect. Dedham Savings may pay any item that is presented following the lapse of any stop payment order.
