  1. You are responsible and liable for all authorized transactions made through the use of the Access Device and for all authorized transactions made under any preauthorized transfer. All such transactions are subject to all applicable agreements, rules and regulations of Bank’s checking accounts and savings accounts for which Access Device use or preauthorized transfers are authorized, now or in the future, as said agreements, rules and regulation are now in effect or as they may hereafter be amended, modified, or adopted.

  4. Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your Access Device has been lost or stolen. Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. You could lose all the money in your account (plus your maximum overdraft line of credit, if any). If you tell us within two business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your Access Device, you can lose no more than $50.00 if someone used your Access Device without your permission.

    Also, if your statement shows transfers that you did not make, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within 60 days after the statement was mailed to you, you may not get back any money you lost after the 60 days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money if you had told us in time.

    If a good reason such as a long trip or a hospital stay kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods.
