Certain features, information, types of transactions or other services available while using the Services are only available for certain Capital One accounts and may not be available when accessing the Services via mobile device or for all of your Capital One accounts.  For certain of your accounts, you may be able to hyperlink from the Online Banking Site to another Capital One Site relating to such accounts, where you may be able to access features, information, transactions or other services pertaining to those accounts that you cannot access directly on the Online Banking Site (and that thus are not deemed a part of the Services).

SECURITY; CONFIDENTIALITY OF ACCESS INFORMATION

Use of the Services requires a computer or approved mobile device and Internet access connected through an Internet or mobile service provider and with a web browser (for example, Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer).

To provide the highest degree of confidentiality and security, we require the use of browsers that provide encryption using a 128-bit key. The higher the level of encryption, the harder it is for unauthorized persons to read information. Many browser suppliers (Netscape Navigator browser and Microsoft Explorer browser) offer special 128-bit encryption versions, available for download from their respective Web sites.

We require you to protect your financial information by using the most secure encryption possible. Use of the Services with lower than 128-bit encryption is not permitted, and you may be unable to enroll in the Services or use the Services if you are using a browser with lower than 128-bit encryption.  If you are able to access the Services using lower than 128-bit encryption, we specifically disclaim any and all responsibility for losses resulting from your use of such lower encryption.

You agree to keep your Customer Number, user ID, password, password reminder question and answer and any other security or access information (collectively, "Access Information") confidential to prevent unauthorized access to your account(s) and to prevent unauthorized use of the Services. We recommend that you memorize your Access Information and do not write it down. You agree not to give or make available your Access Information to any unauthorized individual.

If you believe the security of your password or any other Access Information has been compromised in any way (for example, your password has been lost or stolen, someone has attempted to use the Services under your Customer Number without your consent, your accounts have been accessed, or someone has transferred money from your account(s) without your permission), you must notify us immediately. (See YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES AND LIABILITIES below.)

We reserve the right, under certain circumstances, to deny your access to any one or more account(s) or to the Services or any part thereof, or to deny the processing of transactions, in order to maintain or restore security or performance to the Online Banking Site or any other Capital One Sites and systems. We may do so if we reasonably believe your Access Information has been or may be obtained or is being used or may be used by an unauthorized person(s).

ENROLLMENT IN SERVICES; ACCOUNTS WHICH CAN BE ACCESSED

In order to enroll in and use the Services, you will need your 9-digit Social Security or Tax Identification Number, unless otherwise expressly agreed by Capital One (provided Capital One shall have no obligation to so agree).  If you do not have such a number and are interested in enrolling in the Services, you must contact Online Banking Customer Service at 1-877-442-3764.

You must also have opened at least one of the following accounts under your Customer Number: a checking, savings, money market, CD, IRA or other deposit account, or an installment loan, line of credit or other loan account, offered by Capital One, N.A.; a checking, savings, money market, CD, or other deposit account offered by Capital One Bank (USA), N.A; a Capital One Auto Finance loan account; or a MasterCard BusinessCard account issued by Capital One, N.A. (such accounts may be referred to as "eligible accounts ").  Notwithstanding the foregoing, use of Online Bill Pay requires at least one eligible checking account with Capital One, N.A. or Capital One Bank (USA), N.A.

If you have more than one eligible account, we will automatically "link" your eligible accounts together for purposes of the Services, and all such accounts will appear in your online banking profile on the Online Banking Site, unless you request in writing that certain accounts not be linked.  Unless you request in writing to the contrary, any accounts for which you are an Authorized Person (including, without limitation, joint accounts for which you are one of multiple Authorized Persons) will appear in your online banking profile.

By enrolling in the Services, you authorize Capital One to process transactions for you as requested by you from time to time, and you authorize us to post transactions to your account(s) as directed.  You further authorize Capital One to make automatic recurring payments in such manner as you direct.

Linking Your Capital One Credit Card Account(s) and Certain Other Accounts

While not eligible for automatic linking, once you have completed your enrollment in the Services, you may "link" your Capital One credit cards (other than the MasterCard BusinessCard®, which is automatically linked as set forth above) so that they appear in your online banking profile on the Online Banking Site.  If you have more than one such credit card account, each must be linked separately.  Linking a credit card account to your online banking profile only allows you access to summary information about such credit card account, including balance, available credit and payment information.  To get any other information or conduct any activity on such a linked credit card account, you must access the credit card servicing Web site known as "Online Banking - Credit Cards ",  You may access Online Banking - Credit Cards by hyperlink from your Capital One Online Banking session or from within capitalone.com.

For account holders of certain Capital One investment and mortgage accounts, you may similarly link such accounts to your Online Banking profile.

Linked Accounts

All "linked" accounts (whether linked automatically or separately by you) will appear in your online banking profile on the Online Banking Site, and you will be able to view at least certain summary information for all such accounts.  As set forth above, certain features, information, types of transactions or other services available while using the Services may not be available for all of your linked accounts.  For certain of your linked accounts, you may be able to hyperlink from the Online Banking Site to another Capital One Site relating to such account, where you may be able to access features, information, transactions or other services pertaining to such account that you cannot access directly on the Online Banking Site.  If you have a linked joint account or other account that requires two or more signatures to make withdrawals, transfers or transactions, you will not be able to perform certain transactions on such account using the Services.  Any non-linked account(s) will not be accessible through the Services.

ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS

You agree that all electronic communications that we receive on the Online Banking Site or otherwise in connection with the Services, such as those directing us to take an action with respect to your account, that match Access Information or other identity information you have provided when enrolling in or using the Services will be deemed valid, authentic and binding obligations.  Pursuant to law and regulations, these electronic communications therefore will be given the same legal effect as your written and signed paper communications, shall be considered a "writing" or "in writing" and shall be deemed for all purposes (i) to have been "signed" and (ii) to constitute an "original" when printed from electronic files or records established and maintained in the normal course of business. You agree that electronic copies of communications are valid and you will not contest the validity or enforceability of such communications or any related transactions, absent proof of altered data or tampering, under the provisions of any applicable law relating to whether certain agreements are to be in writing or signed by the party to be bound thereby, and such copies shall be admissible if introduced as evidence on paper in any judicial, arbitration, mediation, or administrative proceeding to the same extent and under the same conditions as other business records originated and maintained in documentary form.

You agree (to the maximum extent permitted by law) to hold harmless Capital One and protect and indemnify Capital One from and against any and all claims, losses, liability, damages and/or demands (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) of any kind, direct or indirect, arising out of or in any way connected with any Services rendered by Capital One pursuant to or in accordance with any and all electronic communications for which we have attempted to verify your identity as set forth above.

E-mail; Secure Messages

By enrolling in Online Banking you agree that as a condition of using the Services you consent to receiving all transactional e-mail communications from Capital One which are directly related to your use of the Services or to your account(s) and to any disclosures that may result from Capital One sending account communications to you via the e-mail address you provide. For more information about our privacy and information-sharing practices, please visit http://www.capitalone.com/legal/privacy.shtml.

BECAUSE E-MAIL IS NOT A SECURE METHOD OF COMMUNICATION OVER THE INTERNET, WE RECOMMEND YOU DO NOT SEND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION BY E-MAIL. PLEASE BE AWARE YOU CANNOT USE E-MAIL TO INITIATE TRANSACTIONS ON YOUR ACCOUNT(S).

Instead, we recommend all communication be sent via secure messaging, available through the "Messages and Alerts" section of the Online Banking Site.  Your secure messages are available online for up to 120 days from the date sent or received.  For account transactions, please use the appropriate functions available through the Services or call Online Banking Customer Service at 1-877-442-3764.

eAlerts

Online Banking offers both automated security alerts and opt-in alerts.  Security alerts are sent to your primary e-mail address automatically for fraud reasons when certain changes to your account occur, such as the addition of a new bill payee(s), password and user ID updates, or changes in your physical or primary email address.  These alerts are part of the Online Banking service and are not optional.

In addition to security alerts, you may choose to receive additional alerts regarding other online banking and account activity delivered by telephone or e-mail.  You will be asked to select from contact options when you sign up for the alert.  By signing up to receive any opt-in alerts, you consent to delivery of such alerts in the format selected (such as text or prerecorded voice) to the contact telephone numbers or email addresses you identify. You are responsible for notifying us of any changes to your e-mail, mobile device, and telephone contacts to which alerts are sent.  To stop receiving any optional alerts, log into Online Banking and change your selections from the Set Alerts page or contact Customer Service at 1-877-442-3764.

Your full account number will not be included in any alert.  However, alerts may contain our name and information about your accounts.  Depending upon the alert, information pertaining to loan and checking account balances, checks written, or insufficient funds may be included.  Anyone with access to your e-mail, mobile device(s), and telephone or telephone answering machine(s) or service(s) may be able to access the contents of the alerts.  It is your responsibility to secure these devices, protect your user name(s) and password(s), and provide timely information about telephone or e-mail contact changes in order to protect the confidentiality of this information.  You consent to any disclosures by Capital One which may occur if you do not take appropriate steps to prevent access to your information by unauthorized persons.

We endeavor to provide alerts in a timely manner with accurate information.  However, we do not guarantee the delivery or accuracy of the contents of any alert.  Alert balances will not reflect pending transactions and deposits may not be available for immediate withdrawal.  If you require additional details about a transaction, you may log in to Online Banking or contact Online Banking Customer Service at 1-877-442-3764.  You agree that we shall not be liable for any delays, failure to deliver, or misdirected delivery of any alert; for any errors in the content of an alert; or for any actions taken or not taken by you or any third party in reliance on an alert.

TRANSFERS

Your ability to transfer funds from certain accounts is limited by federal law. You should refer to our Rules Governing Deposit Accounts available at any Capital One banking office or by calling Online Banking Customer Service at 1-877-442-3764 for these legal restrictions and the service charges and penalties for excessive withdrawals or transfers.  Transfers made using the Services are included in calculating the permissible number of transfers from certain accounts described in the Rules Governing Deposit Accounts.

We reserve the right to impose a frequency or dollar limit on transfers, or to refuse to make any transfer, between certain accounts. We are obligated to notify you promptly if we decide to refuse to complete your transfer instruction; provided, however, that notification is not required if you attempt to make transfers that are prohibited under this Agreement, any Additional Agreement, other Capital One agreements affecting the terms of your account(s), or federal or state laws.

Up to a one-Business-Day delay may occur in completing and posting transfers between your accounts. Except as provided in this Agreement, all banking transaction instructions received before 10:00 p.m. Central Time on a Business Day will be posted to your account the same day. All banking transaction instructions received on or after 10:00 p.m. Central Time or on a Saturday, Sunday or banking holiday will be posted the next Business Day. Contact Online Banking Customer Service at 1-877-442-3764 for a list of our banking holidays.

PAYMENTS

Online payments include (i) payments made through the Services for which the Payment Account is a Capital One account ("Outgoing Payments"), including, without limitation, any payment that you schedule through our Online Bill Pay service, (ii) payments to certain Capital One accounts ("Incoming Payments"), and (iii) payments made in the form of funds transfers to eligible loan or line of credit accounts (which are covered by the "Transfers" section above and any other provisions governing transfers in this Agreement).  The Payment Account that you designate for an Incoming Payment may or may not be a Capital One account.  You may schedule an Incoming Payment to certain of your accounts, including, without limitation, any Capital One Auto Finance loan account, using the Services without using the Online Bill Pay service.  For certain other accounts (including, without limitation, any MasterCard BusinessCard account or other Capital One credit card account), you may schedule an Incoming Payment by hyperlinking from the Online Banking Site to the applicable Capital One Site for such account, and setting up the Incoming Payment on such other Capital One Site.  Any such Incoming Payment that you set up on another Capital One Site will be governed by terms and conditions set forth on such Capital One Site and not by this Agreement, except with respect to any Incoming Payment to your MasterCard BusinessCard account (which shall be governed by the payment terms hereof in addition to any such terms and conditions on the Capital One Site for your MasterCard BusinessCard account).     

Online Bill Pay payments and any other bill payments permitted by the Services will be debited from your designated Payment Account. Capital One's receipt of your bill payment instructions authorizes us to debit (or if the Payment Account is with another financial institution, request that such institution debit) your Payment Account, and to remit (or request that such financial institution remit) funds on your behalf.

With respect to Outgoing Payments, if at the time funds are to be removed from your Payment Account, there are insufficient funds, and we pay the bill, you understand and agree that you are responsible for reimbursing Capital One for the amount of the bill, along with any additional fees or penalties. The dollar amount of these fees or penalties is published in the Capital One Fee Schedule, available at any Capital One banking office, via an e-mail request or by calling Online Banking Customer Service at 1-877-442-3764.  You further understand that any and all payments by Capital One in these circumstances are purely at our discretion and that the payment by Capital One of any bills under these circumstances in no way obligates us to pay the same or similar bills in the future.

If you close all of your checking accounts, your Online Bill Pay services will end and any unprocessed Outgoing Payment transactions will be cancelled.  If you close your Payment Account, any Incoming Payments or Outgoing Payments scheduled to be deducted from that Payment Account will not be processed.

Additional terms regarding Online Bill Pay are set forth in our Online Bill Payment Authorization and Agreement.  With respect to Incoming Payments for which your Payment Account is not a Capital One account, additional terms and conditions established by the financial institution with which you have such Payment Account may apply to such Incoming Payments.

Any mailed statement and other account communications will continue to contain important information about your account(s), regardless of whether you access your account(s) through the Services or whether you have chosen to receive your statement electronically.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES AND LIABILITIES 

It is your sole responsibility to ensure that the contact information in your online banking user profile is current and accurate. This contact information includes, but is not limited to, name, address, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, and account numbers. Changes can be made either via a secure message within the Services or by calling Online Banking Customer Service at 1-877-442-3764 or via US mail. We are not responsible for any payment processing errors or fees incurred by you if you do not provide accurate account or contact information.

If you close any Payment Account, you must notify us and identify a new Payment Account for the selected Services.  Additionally, if you close all your accounts with us, you agree to notify us to cancel your Services.

Unauthorized Transactions

You will be mailed periodic statements for your account(s) with the regularity provided for in your account agreement(s). Your role is extremely important in the prevention of any wrongful use of your account(s). You must carefully examine your statement upon receipt.

Tell us AT ONCE if you believe that an unauthorized transaction has been or may be conducted from your account(s); if you believe another person has improperly obtained your online password(s) or has transferred or may transfer money from your account(s) without authorization; or you suspect fraudulent activity on your account(s).

Call toll free at 1-877-442-3764 anytime, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A representative is available between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. CT Monday through Friday and 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. CT on Saturdays and Sundays.  Voice mail is available all other times; or write to Post Office Box 152402 Irving, Texas 75015   ATTN: Customer Service; or fax us at 972-916-4616; or send us a secure message; or visit us at http://www.capitalone.com/contactus/index.shtml.

Telephoning us right away will help you reduce possible losses. Without timely notification, you could lose all the money in your designated checking, savings or other deposit accounts plus the maximum amount of credit available from your revolving line of credit account if it is used as overdraft protection.

To the extent a transaction is an electronic fund transfer from a Personal Account, the following rules apply: You can lose no more than $50 if you notify us within two Business Days of discovering any unauthorized use of the Services or your Access Information. However, you can lose as much as $500 if you do not notify us within two Business Days of discovering the unauthorized use and we can prove that we could have stopped the unauthorized use had we been notified. If you do not report unauthorized transactions that appear on any of your periodic statements within 60 days after such statements are mailed or electronically transmitted to you, you risk unlimited losses on transactions made after the 60 day period if we can prove that we could have prevented the unauthorized use had we been notified within this 60 day period. If extenuating circumstances, such as a long trip or hospital stay, kept you from telling us, the time periods in this section may be extended.
You agree to assist us in our efforts to recover any funds that were transferred or paid without your permission.

IN CASE OF ERRORS OR QUESTIONS ABOUT FUNDS TRANSFERS OR BILL PAYMENTS MADE THROUGH THE SERVICES

In case of questions or errors about funds transfers or bill payments made through the Services, you must do one of the following: Call us toll free at 1-877-442-3764 or write to Post Office Box 152402 Irving, Texas 75015   ATTN: Customer Service.

With respect to any statements you receive from us that reflect transactions you performed while using the Services, if you think your statement is wrong or if you need more information about a transaction listed on the statement, we must hear from you no later than 60 days after we sent the FIRST paper or online statement on which the problem or error appeared.

To report an error you must:
1. Tell us your name and account number (if any).
2. Describe the error or transfer or payment you are unsure about, and explain as clearly as you can why you believe it is an error, or why you need additional information.
3. Tell us the dollar amount of the suspected error.

If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your complaint or question in writing within 10 Business Days. We will tell you the results of our investigation within 10 Business Days after we hear from you or receive your written complaint or questions (if later) and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to 90 days to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide we need more time, we will credit your account within 10 Business Days after we hear from you or receive your written complaint or questions (if later) for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have use of the money during the time it takes us to complete our investigation. If we ask you to put your complaint in writing and we do not receive it within 10 Business Days, we may not credit your account.

If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation within 3 Business Days after we finish our investigation and debit the amount of the error that we previously credited.  You may ask for copies of documents that we used in our investigation.

With respect to any bill payments made using Online Bill Pay, if we have reasonable proof, within our sole discretion, that the Payee has received your bill payment, we will not credit your account, it being understood that we are not responsible for any Payee's failure to credit your payment promptly upon receipt. We will make reasonable efforts to work with the Payee to resolve the issue on your behalf. In our investigation of any such bill payment transactions, we will request from the Payee a refund of any interest and/or fees which you may have been wrongly assessed, provided that we will have no obligation to further pursue such request if the Payee denies such request.  You will be notified of the final resolution.

TERMINATION

We reserve the right to terminate this Agreement and your access to the Services, in whole or in part, at any time and for any reason.  Without limiting the foregoing, if you do not access the Services and there has been no activity on any of your accounts through the Services (such as an automatic bill payment) for any consecutive 120-day period, and there is no such activity pending as of the end of such 120-day period, we reserve the right to terminate your access to the Services.  If any of your checking, savings or other deposit accounts is closed due to insufficient funds or any other reason, such account will no longer appear in your online banking profile.  If any other account is closed for any reason, such account may no longer appear in your online banking profile.

If you wish to terminate your ability to use Online Bill Pay or the Services as a whole (it being understood that your termination of Online Bill Pay will not terminate your ability to access and use any other part of the Services, but your termination of the Services will automatically terminate your ability to access and use Online Bill Pay), please call toll-free 1-877-442-3764 or send us cancellation instructions in writing to Capital One, Post Office Box 152402 Irving, Texas 75015  ATTN: Customer Service.  If you wish to reinstate your access to Online Bill Pay or the Services as a whole following any such termination (although we reserve the right not to reinstate such Services as we determine in our sole discretion), please call toll-free 1-877-442-3764 or send us instructions in writing to Capital One, Post Office Box 152402 Irving, Texas 75015   ATTN: Customer Service.

Upon termination of Online Bill Pay or the Services as a whole, we will endeavor to cancel any applicable account transactions you have previously authorized, provided that we make no guarantee that we will be able to do so. You will be solely responsible for any fees that apply to any such cancellation.  Any payment(s) or other transactions that we are not able to cancel or that have already been processed before the requested termination date will be completed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Scheduled Payments, including without limitation recurring payments, must be voided prior to cancellation of the Online Bill Pay service. Termination shall not affect your liability or obligations under this Agreement for any transactions initiated prior to termination.
