END USER TERMS
This mobile banking service is provided to you by Bluestone Bank ("BSB") through the use of a mobile technology solution provided by a third party (the "Licensor"). These End User Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and BSB. The Licensor shall be a permitted third party beneficiary of Section B of these End User Terms, and shall be entitled to rely upon and enforce such terms as if it were a party to this agreement.
SECTION A
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
This mobile banking services agreement ("Agreement") contains the terms and conditions which govern BSB's mobile banking services ("Bluestone Mobile"). These terms and conditions contained in this Agreement supplement the terms and conditions of your deposit account agreement, electronic funds transfer agreement, online banking agreement, bill payment agreement and online statement (collectively, "Account Agreements"). In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Account Agreements, the terms and conditions of the Account Agreements control. Your use of Bluestone Mobile constitutes your agreement to the following terms and conditions, as well as the terms and conditions set forth in your Account Agreements.
1. In order to use Bluestone Mobile, you are required to have an online banking account with BSB and you will be required to access and utilize downloadable software. The third party provider Licensor is responsible for providing the downloadable software. Your use of the downloadable software is governed by the Licensor’s End User License Agreement set forth in Section B. Prior to using Bluestone Mobile, you must agree to the terms and conditions set forth by the Licensor. You also must provide BSB with your mobile device phone number. You will use your online banking User ID and password to access the Bluestone Mobile apps. During the enrollment process, BSB will provide you with a one-time security code, sent to your mobile device by text message, which associates your mobile device with your online banking account. You are required to enter the one-time security code within thirty minutes of your receipt of the code. In addition, when you login to BSB mobile from a new device, BSB will provide you with a one-time security code, sent to the mobile device associated with your on-line banking account. You are required to enter the security code within thirty minutes of your receipt of the code. You will have the option to enable Touch ID or Face ID, which is an optional fingerprint or facial recognition sign-in method for Bluestone Mobile that is currently available for most Apple devices that have a fingerprint scanner or Face ID capability. To use Touch ID or Face ID, you will need to save your fingerprint or photo by going to “settings > Touch ID and Passcode” or “settings > Face ID and Passcode” on your Apple device to complete the setup (for more help with fingerprint scanning or Face ID setup, contact Apple support at apple.com/supporttechnical support for your device). Fingerprints or photos are stored on your device only and Bluestone Bank never sees or stores your fingerprint or photo information. To perform higher risk transactions such as bill pay or transfers, you will still be required to enter your username and password. You acknowledge that by enabling Touch ID or Face ID, you will allow anyone who has a fingerprint or photo stored on your device access to your personal and payment account information within Bluestone Mobile. Bluestone Bank reserves the right to suspend or disable this feature at any time. Touch ID or Face ID can only be associated with one Mobile Banking username at a time on a device. If your device doesn’t recognize your fingerprint or face, you can sign in using your username and password. To use Touch ID or Face ID for Mobile Banking on multiple devices, you will need to set it up for each device. You can enable or disable Touch ID or Face ID anytime from the Services menu within Bluestone Mobile.
2. Bluestone Mobile can be used to access accounts made available by BSB and is offered as a convenience and supplemental service to our Online banking services. We reserve the right to limit the types and number of accounts eligible for the mobile banking service. In addition, we reserve the right to refuse to make any transaction you request through Bluestone Mobile service. Bluestone Mobile allows you to access your accounts from a mobile device that you have registered through online banking. Three types of Mobile Banking options are available:
a. Downloadable Mobile Application (balance, history, transfers, bill pay to existing payee, payee management, alerts)
b. Mobile Web (balance, history , transfers, bill pay to existing payee, alerts)
c. Short Message service /SMS text (balance, history and alerts)
Fees and Charges –There is currently no fee for using Bluestone Mobile. Fees for ancillary services such as stop payments, overdrafts, and expedited bill payments are disclosed on our Schedule of Fees. We reserve the right to change the fees for Bluestone Mobile Service and will disclose these changes to you in advance of the effective date.
Transfers – You may initiate a single transfer to or from your selected BSB accounts ("Internal Transfers"). You may also initiate a loan advance from your Home Equity Line of Credit by transferring the funds to your selected BSB accounts. Internal single transfers are posted at the time you make them. Transfers between your accounts are real–time transactions and can be processed at any time the Online Service and BSB's data processing system are operating. The cutoff hour for transfers is 9:00 PM EST. Transfers attempted at any time BSB's data processing system is not operating will normally not be processed until the following business day.
Transaction Limitations – Savings and Money Market Accounts are limited to six (6) transfers by preauthorized, automatic, telephone transfer, or similar orders from your account each statement period, but only three (3) may be payments by check to third parties. Each funds transfer or payment that you initiate using your Bluestone Mobile service is counted as one of the six transfers you are permitted each month. However, payments to your loan accounts with us are not counted toward this limit. If you exceed these transfer limitations, your account may be subject to closure by us, or the funds in such account may be transferred to a transaction account.
Bill Payment Service – As part of Bluestone Mobile service, you can schedule payments to payees that have been previously set up in your Bluestone@Home bill payment account. You can schedule a bill payment, view scheduled bill payments, view recently completed payments, and cancel scheduled payments. Payments are issued electronically or via paper checks. Any payments made through Bill Payment require sufficient time for your payees to credit your account properly. We recommend that you set the send date at least five business days in advance of your bill due date for check payments and at least three business days for payees who accept electronic funds transfers. You should ensure you have adequate funds in your account to cover those payments. We reserve the right to limit the frequency and dollar amount of your payment orders from your account for security purposes.
Payee Management Service – As part of Bluestone Mobile service, you can add, change, and delete payees. You will not be able to schedule or change recurring payments from the mobile device and will not be able to set up ebills through Bluestone Mobile service.

If the check is payable to you or your joint owner, either of you can endorse it. If the check is made payable to you and any non-joint owner, you may not deposit the check into your Bank account using the Services. The Bank reserves the right to refuse any check deposit that does not conform to the above requirements.
Eligible Items:
You agree to scan and deposit only checks as that term is defined in Federal Reserve Regulation CC (Reg CC). You agree that the image of the check transmitted to Bluestone Bank shall be deemed an item within the meaning of Article 4 of the Uniform Commercial Code. You agree that you will not use the Services to scan and deposit any checks or other items as shown below:
- Check or items payable to any person or entity other than you.
- Checks or items drawn or otherwise issued by you or any other person on any of your accounts or any account on which you are an authorized signer or joint account holder.
- Checks or items containing obvious alteration to any of the fields on the front of the check or item, or which you know or suspect, or should know or suspect, are fraudulent or otherwise not authorized by the owner of the account on which the check or item is drawn.
- Checks or items previously converted to a substitute check, as defined in Reg CC.
- Checks or items drawn on a financial institution located outside the United States.
- Checks or items that are remotely created checks, as defined in Reg CC.
- Checks or items not payable in United States currency.
- Checks or items dated more than 6 months prior to the date of deposit.
Check requirements (including image quality):
The image of an item transmitted to the Bank using the Services must be legible and contain images of the front and back of the Check. The image quality of the items must comply with the requirements established from time to time by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Board, or any other regulatory agency, clearing house or association. These requirements include, but are not limited to, ensuring the following information can clearly be read and understood by sight review of the Check image: the amount of the Check (both written and numeric); the payee; the signature of the drawer (maker); the date; the Check number; the information identifying the drawer and the paying financial institution that is preprinted on the Check including the MICR line; and all other information placed on the Check prior to the time of an image of the Check is captured (such as any required identification written on the front of the Check and any endorsements applied to the back of the Check).
Rejection of deposits:
After we receive Check images and all other required deposit information from you through the Service, we shall provisionally credit your designated account for the total amount of such Checks. The provisional credit is subject to final payment of the Checks and is also subject to your Bank Account Agreement. You agree that all deposits received by us are subject to verification and final inspection and may be rejected by us in our sole discretion, and you shall be liable to the Bank for any errors, inaccuracies, breach of warranties and any other loss sustained by, or claim made against the Bank relating to such deposits. The Bank is not liable for any service or late charges that may be imposed against you due to the Bank’s rejection of any Check that you transmit for deposit through the Service. In all cases, you are responsible for any loss or overdraft plus any applicable fees to your account due to a Check being returned. You acknowledge and agree that, while we normally provide notice of rejected deposits, we may reject any Check transmitted through the Service in our sole discretion without notice to you, and we will not be liable for any such rejection or failure to notify you of such rejection. If we reject a Check for remote deposit, you must physically deposit the original Check.
Unpaid checks:
Should you fail to produce the original check, you authorize us to deduct that amount from your account. You are solely responsible for verifying that Checks that you deposit by using the Service have been received and accepted for deposit by the Bank. The Bank will provide you with notice of any deposits that it is unable to process because Checks were returned unpaid by the payor financial institution. You agree to accept such notices at your e-mail address on file with us, but we may choose any reasonable method for providing such notices to you. In the event that the Bank credits your account for a Check that is subsequently dishonored and returned, you authorize the Bank to debit the amount of such Check plus any associated fees from the account. To the extent that funds in your account are insufficient to cover such amount, we shall debit the deficiency amount from any of your other account(s) with the Bank in our sole discretion. Our right to charge your account(s) will apply without regard to whether the Check was timely returned or whether there is any other claim or defense that the Check was improperly returned. You understand and agree that since the original Check is your property, it will not be returned and the Bank may charge back an image of the Check, an ACH debit, or other electronic or paper debit, as applicable, to your account. You further agree that any image that we charge back may be in the form of an electronic or paper reproduction of the original Check or a substitute check. You may not use the Service to deposit a substitute check and you may not deposit the original Check through the Service or in any other manner if you receive a dishonored Check. You agree to comply with any additional instructions we may provide to you in connection with returned Checks.
Duty to report errors:
The Bank will provide you with periodic statements that will identify the deposits that you make through the Service. In addition, you may access the Bank’s Online Banking service for information about your deposits, return items, deposit adjustments, Checks and other transactions on your accounts. You agree that it is your responsibility to review all such information that the Bank makes available to you in a timely manner to verify that deposits made through the Service have been received and accepted by the Bank and are accurate. Receipt of a Check by the Bank through the Service does not constitute an acknowledgement by the Bank that the Check is error-free or that we will be liable for the Check. You agree to notify us promptly of any errors, omissions, or discrepancies in a deposit within the time periods established in your Bank Account Agreement. You may notify us by e-mailing us at (internetbankservice at bluestone dot bank), or writing to Deposit Operations, Bluestone Bank, 756 Orchard St., Raynham, MA 02767 or telephoning us at 800.356.8622. You agree to cooperate in any investigation by the Bank of any unsuccessful or lost transmission. Subject to applicable law, any failure by you to notify the Bank of any error, omission or other discrepancy in accordance with this Agreement and your Bank Account Agreement shall relieve the Bank of any liability for such error, omission or discrepancy.
Availability of service/Contingency:
In the event you are unable to capture, balance, process, produce or transmit a file to the Bank, or otherwise comply with the terms or the Procedures for any reason, including but not limited to, communications, equipment or software outages, interruptions or failures, you will transport or mail the originals of all checks to the closest Bank location. The deposit of original checks at an office of the Bank shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the Deposit Account Agreement and not by the terms of this Agreement.
Storage, security and destruction/disposal of the checks:
After you receive confirmation that we have received an image, you must securely store the original Check for 30 days after transmission to us and make the original Check accessible to us at our request. Upon our request from time to time, you will deliver to us within two Business Days, at your expense, the requested original Check in your possession. If not provided in a timely manner, such amount will be reversed from your account. Promptly after the 30-day retention period expires, you must destroy the original Check by first marking it VOID and then destroying it by cross-cut shredding or another commercially acceptable means of destruction. After destruction of the original Check, the image will be the sole evidence of the original Check. You agree that you will never represent the original Check. You understand that you are responsible if anyone is asked to make a payment based on an original check that has already been paid.
Presenting checks more than once:
Once you have used the Service to deposit a Check you agree not to present, or allow anyone else to present, that original Check or a substitute check of that original Check again for deposit through the Service or by any other means. If you or anyone else present a Check or substitute check for deposit more than once, in violation of this Agreement, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold the Bank harmless from and against all liability and damages that may result from any claims, suits or demands from third parties with respect to such Check or substitute check. You agree that we may debit from your Bank account the aggregate amount of any Checks that that are deposited more than once. To the extent that funds in your account are insufficient to cover such amount, we shall debit the deficiency amount from any other of your account(s) with the Bank in our sole discretion.
Your Authentication method:
You agree that we are entitled to act upon instructions we receive with respect to the Service under your user ID, password, test key or other code or authentication method that we require (these components are referred to herein collectively as your Authentication Method). You are liable for all transactions made or authorized with the use of your Authentication Method. We have no responsibility for establishing the identity of any person who uses your Authentication Method. You agree that if you give any component of your Authentication Method to anyone or fail to safeguard its secrecy, you will be in violation of your obligations under your Deposit Account Agreement and this Agreement. You agree to take appropriate steps to ensure that all components of your Authentication Method are protected and kept confidential. You agree to indemnify and release us from any and all liability, and agree not to make any claim or bring any action against us, relating to our honoring or allowing any actions or transactions that are conducted under your Authentication Method or acting upon instructions, messages or authorizations provided to us using your Authentication Method. By accessing the Service with your Authentication Method, you authorize us to complete the requested transaction(s) through the Service. Any requests or instructions we receive from you through the Service using your Authentication Method shall be considered in writing under all applicable law and shall have the same force and legal effect as a writing signed by you. This includes, but is not limited to, inquiries, deposit transactions, Checks deposited, Check images, changes to accounts or services or any other communication you provide us through the Service using your Authentication Method.
Data security:
You will complete each deposit promptly. If you are unable to complete your deposit promptly, you will ensure that your mobile device remains securely in your possession until the deposit has been completed. It is your responsibility to establish and maintain procedures to safeguard against unauthorized deposits. You will notify us immediately by telephone at 800.356.8622 and with written notice at Bluestone Bank, Attn: Deposit Operations, 756 Orchard St., Raynham, MA 02767 if you learn of any loss or theft of original checks. You will ensure the safety and integrity of original Checks from the time of receipt until the time of destruction. If warranted in our reasonable judgment, we may audit and monitor you, and you agree to cooperate with us to permit such monitoring, to confirm that you have satisfied your obligations under this Agreement.
Cooperation with Investigations:
You agree to cooperate with us in the investigation of unusual transactions, poor quality transmissions, and resolution of customer claims, including by providing, upon request and without further cost, any originals or copies of items deposited through the Service in your possession and your records relating to such items and transmissions.

Receiving Money; Money Transfers by Network Banks
Once a User initiates a transfer of money to your email address or mobile phone number enrolled with the Service, you have no ability to stop the transfer. By using the Service, you agree and authorize us to initiate credit entries to the bank account you have enrolled.
Most transfers of money to you from other Users will occur within minutes. There may be other circumstances when the payment may take longer. For example, in order to protect you, us, Zelle and the other Network Banks, we may need or Zelle may need additional time to verify your identity or the identity of the person sending the money. We may also delay or block the transfer to prevent fraud or to meet our regulatory obligations. If we delay or block a payment that you have initiated through a request for money, we will notify you in accordance with your User preferences (i.e. email, push notification).
Sending Money; Debits by Network Banks
You may send money to another User at your initiation or in response to that User’s request for money. You understand that use of this Service by you shall at all times be subject to (i) this Agreement, and (ii) your express authorization at the time of the transaction for us to initiate a debit entry to your bank account. You understand that when you send the payment, you will have no ability to stop it. You may only cancel a payment if the person to whom you sent the money has not yet enrolled in the Service. If the person you sent money to has already enrolled with Zelle, either in the Zelle mobile app or with a Network Bank, the money is sent directly to their bank account (except as otherwise provided below) and may not be canceled or revoked.
In most cases, when you are sending money to another User, the transfer will occur in minutes; however, there are circumstances when the payment may take longer. For example, in order to protect you, us, Zelle and the other Network Banks, we may need additional time to verify your identity or the identity of the person receiving the money. If you are sending money to someone who has not enrolled as a User with Zelle, either in the Zelle mobile app or with a Network Bank, they will receive a text or email notification instructing them on how to enroll to receive the money. You understand and acknowledge that a person to whom you are sending money and who is not enrolling as a User may fail to enroll with Zelle, or otherwise ignore the payment notification, and the transfer may not occur.
The money may also be delayed or the transfer may be blocked to prevent fraud or comply with regulatory requirements. If we delay or block a payment that you have initiated, we will notify you in accordance with your User preferences (i.e. email, push notification).
We have no control over the actions of other Users, other Network Banks or other financial institutions that could delay or prevent your money from being delivered to the intended User.
Liability
Neither we nor Zelle shall have liability to you for any transfers of money, including without limitation, (i) any failure, through no fault of us or Zelle to complete a transaction in the correct amount, or (ii) any related losses or damages.

Requesting Money
You may request money from another User. You understand and acknowledge that Users to whom you send payment requests may reject or ignore your request. Neither we nor Zelle guarantee that you will receive money from other Users by sending a payment request, or that you will receive the amount that you request. Neither we or Zelle accept responsibility if the other User rejects or ignores your request, or sends you an amount that is less than you request. If a User ignores your request, we may decide or Zelle may decide, in our sole discretion, that we will not send a reminder or repeat request to that User.

You agree to receive money requests from other Users, and to only send requests for legitimate and lawful purposes. Requests for money are solely between the sender and recipient and are not reviewed or verified by us or by Zelle. Neither we nor Zelle assume responsibility for the accuracy or legality of such requests and do not act as a debt collector on your behalf or on behalf of the sender of a request for money.
We reserve the right, but assume no obligation, to terminate your ability to send requests for money in general, or to specific recipients, if we deem such requests to be potentially unlawful, abusive, offensive or unwelcome by the recipient.

DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER DISCLOSURE AND CARD HOLDER AGREEMENT
INITIAL DISCLOSURE OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER SERVICES
This document includes a General Disclosure Statement and a Cardholder Agreement. We are providing you with the General Disclosure Statement in the event that you subscribe to electronic banking services, such as telephone banking, internet banking, bill payment, receiving direct deposits to your account or arranging to have regular payments made from your account to a third party.
If you request or possess a Bluestone Bank ATM or Debit MasterCard®, the Cardholder Agreement explains the services available to you and, together with the General Disclosure Statement, sets forth your rights and responsibilities in connection with the use of the Card. These agreements constitute a legally binding contract, and by selecting a Personal Identification Number ("PIN"), using the PIN assigned to you, or using the Card, you agree to comply with the agreements' terms. Your ATM Card entitles you to use services offered by the Cirrus® and NYCE® Networks.
Your Debit MasterCard may be used anywhere MasterCard® is accepted. Because your Debit MasterCard may be used at a MasterCard merchant without a password, as a security feature you cannot use this card until it is activated at an ATM terminal.
GENERAL DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
In addition to any other agreements applicable to such services, the following terms and conditions govern electronic fund transfer services and are provided to you in accordance with Federal and State law.
A. PREAUTHORIZED TRANSFERS
Right To Stop Payment: If you have instructed us in advance to make regular payments from your account to a third party, you may stop any of these payments.

If you are canceling the authorized payment you must also notify the party to which the payment would have been made.
Liability For Failure To Stop Payment: If you instruct us to stop a preauthorized payment at least three business days before the transfer is scheduled to be made, and we do not do so, we will be liable for any losses or damages you sustain as a direct result of our failure to stop payment. We may electronically debit your account for a returned check or other similar charge if you write a check on your account which is subsequently returned because of insufficient funds in your account. We are not responsible for any failure by the merchant or other payee to notify you that a transaction will be processed as an EFT or that a fee imposed for returned checks will be debited electronically from your account.
Notice of Varying Amounts: If these regular payments vary in amount, the person whom you are paying will notify you ten days before each payment, of the payment date and amount. At your option you may choose to receive this notice only when the payment will differ by more than a certain amount from the previous payment, or when the amount will fall outside certain limits you set.
B. DOCUMENTATION OF TRANSFER
Terminal Transfers: You will receive a receipt at the time you make any withdrawal, transfer, or purchase using your ATM card or Debit MasterCard. You may not receive a receipt if the amount of the transaction is $15 or less.

if, through no fault of ours, you do not have enough money in your account to make the payment or transfer;
if the payment or transfer will go over the credit limit on your overdraft line;
if circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood) prevent the payment or transfer, despite reasonable precautions we have taken;
if the terminal where you are making the transfer does not have enough cash;
if the terminal or system was not working properly and you were aware of the malfunction when you started the transfer; or
if we are legally restricted from transferring the funds in your account.
There may be other exceptions stated in our agreement with you.

You may transfer from your Checking, Statement Savings, Statement Money Market and Premium Statement Money Market account. You may also use internet banking services to make a loan advance from your Home Equity Line of Credit by transferring the funds to your checking, statement savings, or statement money market account.
Statement Savings, Statement Money Market and Premium Statement Money Market accounts may have up to six transfers out of the account per month, including third–party checks written against a Statement Money Market or Premium Statement Money Market account. Accounts that do not adhere to this limitation may be converted to checking accounts or closed.
You may make unlimited transfers to any account, other than a Passbook Account or Certificate of Deposit. You may also use internet banking services to pay most bills. You may use internet banking and telephone banking to pay Bluestone Bank loans. Closing an account terminates your telephone banking and/or internet banking transfer ability.

CARDHOLDER AGREEMENT
You can use your card and your own password on Cirrus® or NYCE® or other banking machines or devices approved by us. You can use your card to obtain the services described in this agreement and the Electronic Banking Disclosure Statement relating to your account or accounts which we have furnished to you. Some of these services may not be available at all locations.
All deposits, and other transactions with your card are subject to later proof and verification. All items are received for collection. All credits are provisional and are subject to final payment. The acknowledgment form provided is not a binding receipt.
Your card and any replacement card remain our property. The card is not transferable. You will return it to us upon request.
Your password should be memorized and kept secret. In no event should it be written on, or carried with, your card. If you believe that your password is no longer secret because it has been disclosed, you will notify us immediately.
You will promptly review all materials we send you, including account statements and notices. You will notify us immediately if you find any discrepancies between materials and your records, particularly, if you discover that an unauthorized use of your card, your passbook, or your account or accounts may have occurred.
Any notices you give us should first be given orally in person or by telephone and should be confirmed in writing immediately.
After you have given notice of a lost or stolen card, a disclosed password, or an unauthorized use to us by calling the phone number or writing to the address listed in the Electronic Banking Disclosure Statement relating to your account or accounts, you will not be liable for subsequent unauthorized card transactions IF YOU FAIL TO GIVE US NOTICE, YOU WILL BE LIABLE FOR LOSSES UP TO A MAXIMUM OF $50.00.
The use of the card will be governed by our rules and regulations and the additional terms in the Electronic Banking Disclosure Statement relating to your account or accounts as in effect from time to time.
We may amend this agreement at any time by mailing you a written notice of the substance of the amendment at your listed address at least 30 days before it is to go into effect. The amendment will be effective for transactions after its effective date unless you notify us in writing before that date that you will not use your card further and return your card to us. Otherwise, you will agree to the amendment.
Either of us may terminate this agreement at any time by giving written notice to the other, but the termination will not affect previous transactions. Termination of this agreement does not terminate your account or accounts with us. Closing the account or accounts to which the card relates terminates this agreement simultaneously.
Questions about the terms of this agreement will be decided by Massachusetts law, except to the extent that any applicable Federal law controls. If there is a conflict between any terms of this agreement and Massachusetts or controlling Federal laws or regulations, that term shall be deemed to be modified to make it comply.
