1. CitiDirect enables me to have direct access to the Account(s) or to effect certain banking transactions (including, without limitation, secure e-mail which comprises the activation of the transactions listed in the pre-structured electronic instruction form and the transmission of instructions to you, funds transfer and bill payments) by electronic means via the use of personal computers or similar access devices ("Customer Terminal"). I shall gain access to CitiDirect for such purposes upon the correct input of my CIN and ATM-PIN into the Customer Terminal, subject to the terms and conditions hereunder, the CitiDirect User Agreement which is available on Citibank website, and to such other terms and conditions as you may at your absolute discretion determine from time to time.
  2. Where you in your absolute discretion make CitiDirect available to me, I shall be allocated an ATM-PIN which you shall notify to me. I will also be allocated a CIN if I do not already have one. I shall not reveal my ATM-PIN and/or CIN to any unauthorised party and shall take all steps to prevent discovery of my ATM-PIN by any unauthorised party. In the event that my ATM-PIN is disclosed or discovered by any other party, I shall immediately change my ATM-PIN. I may change my ATM-PIN from time to time, and you will be entitled at your absolute discretion to reject any number I select as my substitute ATM-PIN without giving any reason therefor.
  3. I authorise you to act upon any instructions which are identified by any use of my CIN and ATM-PIN ("CitiDirect Use").

  4. You shall neither be liable for acting upon such instructions nor be obliged to investigate the authenticity or authority of persons effecting my instructions or verify the accuracy and completeness of my instructions. Such instructions shall be deemed irrevocable and binding on me upon your receipt notwithstanding any error, fraud, forgery, lack of clarity or misunderstanding in respect of the terms of such instructions. I shall notify you immediately upon receipt of incomplete, garbled or inaccurate data or information from you. I shall also notify you immediately upon receipt of any data or information which is not intended for me and I shall delete such data or information from the Customer Terminal immediately.
  5. I shall accept full responsibility for all transactions executed via CitiDirect and in particular for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of my instructions.
  6. I agree that you may without prior notice cancel or not to execute my instructions at any time without furnishing any reason and without incurring any liability.
  7. You shall be entitled but not obliged to verify any instructions given via CitiDirect by calling back online or via telephone or any other means.
  8. I represent that to the best of my knowledge, the Customer Terminal and any other computer system through which access may be effected by any use of my CIN and ATM-PIN are free from any electronic, mechanical, data failure or corruption, computer viruses and bugs.
