Without limiting the generality of the first sentence in this Section 9, you are also responsible for any Losses that result if:
You acknowledge that the amount of Losses for which you may be held liable is not limited to the Account balance if the Account has overdraft or similar protection, or by your credit limit if it is a credit card Account or loan Account.

If you send us an e-mail, you agree that we may (at our sole discretion) respond to you by e-mail, and provide by e-mail any confidential information that you have requested; you also agree we will not be liable if the information we provide to you by e-mail as contemplated in this Section 11 is lost or intercepted, altered or misused by someone else.
Use an Anti-Virus Program, Anti-Spyware Program and Firewall; Signing Off: The Electronic Device you use may be vulnerable to viruses or online attacks that seek to intercept or alter information including sensitive information that you provide through the Internet. To reduce the chances of harm, you should take all reasonable precautions, including ensuring that any Electronic Device you use to access Online Banking or Wealth Management Online has an up-to-date anti-virus program, anti-spyware program and a firewall, if such security measures are available for your Electronic Device.

Bill Payment: Although your Online Banking bill payment will be withdrawn from the Account you select on the date you instruct us to make the bill payment, you acknowledge that not all merchants treat payments as being received as of that date. You should give bill payment Instructions several business days in advance of the date on which you wish a bill payment to be effective. We will not be responsible for processing delays by merchants and any Losses resulting from merchants’ processing delays or your own delays in making a bill payment.

Application of this Agreement to Business Use: In addition to the remainder of this Agreement, this Part F (consisting of Sections 25 to 35) will apply if Online Banking and/or Wealth Management Online are used by or on behalf of a Business. In such a case:
Access to Business Accounts and Services: By designating a person as a Business User, the Business is authorizing that person to view information about the Business and, if online transactions are permitted through the Services, to carry out online transactions on behalf of the Business (subject to any limits on the Business User's access, as described in Section 28). The Business accepts the responsibility for all Losses that may arise from any unauthorized use including a Business User misusing his or her authority in any way, either purportedly on the Business' behalf or for personal or other purposes. The Business and individual Business User will ensure that the Business User meets any eligibility or other requirements for online access that are communicated by us as part of the application process.
Use of Bank Card and User ID: For Online Banking, the Business will ensure that each Bank Card will be used only by the individual Business User that was authorized by the Business, and to whom we issued the Bank Card. For the Wealth Management Online services including CIBC Investor's Edge and CIBC Imperial Investor Service, the Business will ensure that each User ID will be used only by the individual Business User that was authorized by the Business and have the authority to sign alone on behalf of the Business. For the Wealth Management Online services of CIBC Wood Gundy and CIBC Private Investment Counsel, the Business will ensure that each User ID will be used only by the individual Business User that was authorized by the Business and to whom we issued the User ID.
Different Levels of Access: At the request of the Business, we may provide different levels of access to Online Banking or Wealth Management Online for different categories of Business Users. For example, one category of Business Users may be able to view Account information only, and another category of Business Users may be able to view information and provide Instructions to conduct transactions. If this is the case, a Business User's ability to use Online Banking or Wealth Management will be limited by the level of access that we provide to him or her. It is the responsibility of the Business to ensure that the level of access we provide to a particular Business User is appropriate for that person.
Authorized Use/Entry Errors: The Business accepts the responsibility for all Losses that result if: a Business User uses a Bank Card, User ID or Password, whether with or without the Business' specific authorization in any particular instance; a Business User authorizes anyone else to use a Bank Card, User ID or Password; or a Business User makes entry errors.
Indemnity by Business: The Business agrees to indemnify and save us harmless from and against all Losses that we may incur (other than due to our own gross negligence or misconduct), including legal fees and disbursements reasonably incurred by us, arising from a breach by the Business or a Business User of any part of this Agreement, or from our acting or declining to act upon any Instruction or information given to us in accordance with this Agreement. This indemnity is in addition to any other indemnity or assurance against loss that the Business may provide to us, and will survive any termination of this Agreement.
Sharing Business User IDs and Passwords: For Wealth Management Online only, if we permit a Business to share its User ID among individual Business Users, a Business User may provide the User ID and Password to one or more other persons who have also been authorized by the Business and (if online transactions are permitted through the applicable Service) who have authority to sign alone on behalf of the Business, notwithstanding Sections 7, 8 and 27. In these circumstances, the Business User need not change the Password or notify us merely because the other authorized persons are using the User ID or the Password.
Passwords, Anti-Virus Program, Anti-Spyware Program and Firewall: The Business will ensure that each Business User follows the duties in Sections 7 and 8 of this Agreement (as modified by Section 31 if applicable), including the duty to carefully choose a Password, the duty to keep Passwords secret, and the duty to change Passwords and notify us if the Business User suspects that someone else knows a Password or is using his or her Bank Card or User ID. In addition, the Business will ensure that each Electronic Device that a Business User uses to access Online Banking or Wealth Management Online on behalf of the Business has an up-to-date anti-virus program, anti-spyware program and a firewall, where such security measures are available for the Electronic Device.
Business Credit Card Transfers: All transfers of funds from a Business CIBC credit card Account to another Account using Online Banking and all bill payments from a Business CIBC credit card Account using Online Banking are treated as cash advances, which are subject to the terms of the agreement that governs use of the CIBC credit card Account.
Access to Personal Accounts: The Business may request that we attach the Business User's Personal Account(s) to the Bank Card that the Business User uses to access Online Banking on behalf of the Business. If we grant this request, then:
Termination by Business: The Business may terminate this Agreement (and cease accessing Online Banking or Wealth Management Online) at any time upon notice to us, effective a reasonable time after we receive the notice.

In accordance with Section 3, you confirm that we may change the terms and conditions in this Part G at anytime by posting a notice on our Web Site. Your continued use of the Alerts Service and the Credit Report Alerts Service means you agree to the amended terms and conditions.
Alerts: The Message Centre permits you to obtain automated alert messages (“Alerts”). Alert messages may be sent either securely within the Message Centre (a “Secure Alert”) or by regular e-mail, telephone, text message or another non-secure method (a “Non-Secure Alert”). We may add new Alerts from time to time without prior notice to you, or discontinue old Alerts by posting a notice 30 days in advance on the applicable Web Site. We may include specific, confidential personal information in both Secure Alerts and Non-Secure Alerts, and you expressly consent to such use of your confidential personal information by us.
Non-Secure Alerts: Before you choose to receive Non-Secure Alerts, you should review sample message(s) and understand how they will be sent to you. This information is available when you register for these Alerts. Due to their nature, you acknowledge and agree that Non-Secure Alerts may be lost, intercepted, reviewed or altered by others. Telephone Alerts may be provided by an automated message which would be read to any person who answers your phone or is left on your answering machine.
E-mail Address for Non-Secure Alerts: Non-Secure Alerts may be sent to the e-mail address you provide as your primary e-mail address for Online Banking. You can change your e-mail address online through Online Banking, but this will also change the e-mail address we have on record for you.
SMS Phone Number for Non-Secure Alerts: Non-Secure Alerts may be sent by text message to the SMS phone number you provide to Online Banking. Standard messaging and data rates may apply and we will send you a reminder by text message once every 30 days to allow you to opt out of receiving Non-Secure Alerts through text messages. You can change your SMS phone number through Online Banking, but this will also change the SMS phone number we have on record for you.
Limitation of Liability: You agree that your Alerts may be delayed, not delivered or be inaccurate due to a variety of factors, including technical problems, and except as provided in Section 65 or as required by applicable law, we will not be liable to you for any Losses arising out of your use or inability to use the Alerts, or for the accuracy or inaccuracy of any Alerts, regardless of the cause of action, including negligence, even if we are advised of the possibility of such damages. For Non-Secure Alerts, you accept the risk that the Alert messages may be lost, intercepted, reviewed or altered by others.
General: The terms and conditions of this Part H apply only when you enroll and use the Credit Report Alerts Service and are in addition to the other terms and conditions in this Agreement. In accordance with Section 3, you confirm that we may change these terms and conditions in this Part H at any time by posting a notice on our Web Site. Your continued use of the Credit Report Alerts Service after such posting means you agree to the amended terms and conditions.
Information Provided by Equifax Canada: The Credit Report Alerts Service provides information about your credit report with Equifax Canada, a credit reporting agency. If you suspect that there are errors or fraudulent changes in your credit report or in information provided in a Credit Report Alert, you need to contact Equifax Canada directly, and we are not responsible for reporting errors or fraudulent changes to Equifax Canada.
Authorization: By requesting that we enroll you in the Credit Report Alerts Service, you are also authorizing us to receive information from Equifax Canada on your behalf when one of certain key changes occurs to your credit report and to forward that information to you through the Message Centre and other notification methods you have selected (if any).
Privacy: You consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information from time to time as described in CIBC’s privacy policy. This includes providing Equifax Canada with your name, address, date of birth, CIBC credit card number and other basic information about you so that Credit Report Alerts can be sent to you when there are certain key updates to your Equifax Canada credit file.
Limits of Service: Credit report alerts provided as part of the Credit Report Alert Service (the “Credit Report Alerts”) will not be sent in respect of every change to your Equifax Canada credit report, but only in respect of selected changes. Since Equifax Canada is one of several credit reporting agencies in Canada, you will not be provided with information about your report at any other credit reporting agency unless you contact other agencies directly. There is a possibility that Equifax Canada will not be able to locate a file for you within its records. If Equifax Canada cannot locate your files within approximately three months after you requested to be enrolled in the Credit Report Alert Service, we will notify you of this fact and Equifax Canada will make no further attempt to locate your file for this purpose. In that case, you will not be enrolled in the Credit Report Alert Service, no Credit Report Alerts will be sent to you, even if there are changes to your file with Equifax Canada.
Limitation of Liability: Except as provided in Section 65 or as required by applicable law, neither we nor Equifax Canada will be liable to you for any Losses arising out of your use of the Credit Report Alerts Service, which include: (a) errors or omissions in the information in your credit file, your credit report or the Credit Report Alerts provided to you; (b) any failure to provide any Credit Report Alerts to you; or (c) your use or inability to use the Credit Report Alerts or their information, regardless of the cause of action, including negligence, even if we are advised of the possibility of such damages.

In accordance with Section 3, you confirm that we may change the terms and conditions of this Part I at anytime by posting a notice on our Web Site. Your continued use of CIBC eDeposit after such posting means you agree to the amended terms and conditions.
Mobile Deposit Service: CIBC eDeposit allows you to make deposits to your Account(s) by taking a picture of the front and back of cheques and other items (“Images”) with an Electronic Device and delivering the Images and associated deposit information to us. We appoint you as our agent to act on our behalf in the creation and transmission of Images to us. You may not further delegate the role as agent.

Eligible items: You may image and deposit any of these original paper items issued by a bank located in Canada and payable in Canadian currency: cheques, bank money orders, bank drafts, convenience cheques and certified cheques. You agree you will not image and deposit any of the following:
Endorsements and Procedures. You agree to endorse any item transmitted through CIBC eDeposit by signing your name and writing "For deposit only, account #______" on the back of the item or as we may otherwise instruct. Immediately after transmission of an Image, you agree to mark the front of the item as “paid” or “void” or cross it with parallel lines to indicate that the item has been imaged and transmitted. You agree to follow any other procedures and instructions for use of CIBC eDeposit as we may establish from time to time.
Receipt of Items. We reserve the right to reject any item transmitted through CIBC eDeposit, at our discretion. An item may be returned to us by the paying financial institution because, among other reasons, the paying financial institution determines that the item cannot be processed, is illegible, or is otherwise unacceptable. We are not responsible for items we do not receive or for Images that are corrupted or not fully received during transmission. We may charge back to your Account at any time, any item that we subsequently determine was not eligible for deposit. If the deposit amount does not match the amount of the Image, we may adjust your Account to reflect the amount on the Image received. You agree that we are not liable for any loss, costs, or fees you may incur as a result of our charge back or adjustment.
Availability of Funds: The day of deposit will be considered to be the day we receive the Image in the province where your Account is located. Funds will be credited to your Account immediately upon receipt of the Image but availability and access to the funds will be subject to CIBC’s Hold Policy and your access to funds limit.
Transaction/Processing Times: Deposits made after 6:00 p.m. (EST) will have a transaction date of the next business day. Deposits after 9:30 p.m. (EST) will be processed the next business day. Saturday, Sunday and holidays are not considered business days.
Destruction and Replacement of Transmitted Items: You agree to retain the item for at least 5 calendar days from the date of deposit, and destroy it within 120 calendar days of deposit. During the time you retain the item, you agree to promptly provide the item to us upon request. You are responsible for any and all costs associated with obtaining a replacement negotiable item in the event that we request you re-transmit an Image, and the original item was destroyed or otherwise lost. If you do not comply with any request made pursuant to this Section 56, then we can place a hold on or reverse any credit made to your Account in relation to the item, even if this creates an overdraft on your Account.
Deposit Limits. We may establish limits on the dollar amount of items and/or number of items which can be deposited. These limits may change from time to time without prior notice to you. If you attempt to make a deposit in excess of these limits, we may reject your deposit. If we permit you to make a deposit in excess of these limits, such deposit will still be subject to the terms of this Part 1, and we will not be obligated to allow such a deposit at other times.
Presentment. The manner in which the items are cleared, presented (or represented) for payment, and collected shall be at our sole discretion.
Errors in Transmission. By using CIBC eDeposit you accept the risk that an item may be intercepted or misdirected during transmission. We bear no liability to you or others for any such intercepted or misdirected item or information disclosed through such errors.
Image Quality. The Image transmitted to us using CIBC eDeposit must be legible, as determined in our sole discretion and include, among other things, clearly legible and unaltered magnetic ink character recognition (“MICR”) information. The image quality of items must also comply with the requirements established from time to time by CIBC, the Canadian Payments Association, or any other regulatory agency or association. You agree that we shall not be liable for any damages resulting from an item’s poor image quality, including those related to rejection of or the delayed or improper crediting of such an item, or from any inaccurate information you supply regarding the item.
