Notice of Your Rights and Liabilities
PIN Security - Security of your transactions is important to us. Use of the Services may therefore require a PIN or password. If you lose or forget your PIN or password, please call 1-888-625-2201 during normal business hours listed above. We may accept as authentic any instructions given to us through the use of your password or PIN. You agree to keep your PIN and password secret and to notify us immediately if your PIN or Password is lost or stolen, or if you believe someone else has discovered your PIN or password. You agree that if you give your PIN or password to someone else, you are authorizing them to act on your behalf, and we may accept any instructions they give us.
Online Banking Services enables you to change your password and we require that you do so regularly.
(Notice of Rights and Liabilities continued)
Our Liability - We may be liable for certain security breaches to the extent required by applicable law and regulations. We do not assume any other liability or otherwise guarantee the security of information in transit to or from our facilities. Please note that we reserve the right to (1) monitor and/or record all communications and activity related to the Services: and (2) require verification of all requested transfers in the manner we deem appropriate before making the transfer (which may include written verification by you).
Your Agreement - You agree that our records will be final and conclusive as to all questions concerning whether or not your PIN or password was used in connection with a particular transaction. If any unauthorized use of your PIN or password occurs you agree to (1) cooperate with us and appropriate law enforcement authorities in identifying and prosecuting the perpetrator; and (2) provide reasonable assistance requested by us in recovering any unauthorized transfer of funds.
Lost or Stolen PIN/Unauthorized transfers - Notify us immediately if you believe your PIN or password has been lost or stolen. Telephoning is the best way to keep your possible losses down. You could lose all of the money in your account (plus your maximum line of credit). If you tell us within two (2) business days you can lose no more than $50.00. If you do NOT tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your PIN or password, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your PIN or password without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.00. Also, if your statement shows transfers that you did not make, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after the statement was mailed to you, you may not get back any funds you lost after the 60 days if we can prove that we could have prevented someone from taking the funds if you had told us in time. If you believe your PIN or password has been lost or stolen or that someone has transferred or may transfer money from your account without your permission, call 1-888-625-2201 during normal business hours as listed above. WE CANNOT ACCEPT NOTIFICATION OF LOST OR STOLEN PINS OR PASSWORDS OR UNATHORIZED TRANSFERS VIA E-MAIL.
