EFFECT OF AGREEMENT. Even though the sales, cash advance, credit or other slips You may sign or receive when using the Card contain terms, this Agreement is the contract which solely applies to all transactions involving the Card.
ENFORCEMENT. We do not lose Our rights under this or any related agreement if We delay enforcing them. We can accept late payments, partial payments, or any other payments, even if they are marked “paid in full" without losing any of Our rights under this Agreement If any provision of this or any related agreement is determined to be unenforceable or invalid, all other provisions remain in full force and effect.
FINANCE CHARGES. In the case of any transactions under Your Visa Classic, Share-Secured Visa Classic, Visa Platinum With Low Rate/No Rewards, Visa Platinum With Cash Back, Visa Platinum Plus, Share-Secured Visa Platinum Plus or Student Visa Classic Account, a Finance Charge will be imposed on all Visa Credit Card purchases, balance transfers and cash advances by the application of a monthly periodic rate (and corresponding Annual Percentage Rate) to the Average Daily Balance indicated on Your monthly billing statement.
To get the Average Daily Balance, We take the beginning balance of Your Account each day during the billing cycle (including any unpaid purchases, balance transfers and cash advances posted to Your Account during any prior billing cycle; excluding any previously billed but unpaid Finance Charges and Late Charges), add any new purchases, balance transfers or cash advances and subtract any payments or credits (as described herein). This gives Us the daily balance. We then add up all the daily balances for the billing cycle and divide the total by the number of days in the billing cycle. This gives Us the Average Daily Balance.
You can avoid Finance Charges on purchases by paying the full amount of the entire balance owed each month within 25 days of Your statement closing date, provided the previous statement’s balance was paid in full. Otherwise, the new balance ot purchases, and subsequent purchases from the date ihey are posted to Your Account, will be subject to a Finance Charge. Cash advances and balance transfers (including Visa Convenience Checks) are always subject to a Finance Charge from the date they are posted to Your Account.
All Credit Card accounts are subject to an Introductory Rate for the 6-month period immediately following the date that Your Card is activated, during which time the Monthly Periodic Rate that will apply to Your transactions is 0.2417% (corresponding ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE 2.90%).
Upon the expiration of any such Introductory rate period, the Monthly Periodic Rate and corresponding Annual Percentage Rate applicable to the portion of Your balance consisting of transactions that occur after the expiration of such period will increase to the non-introductory rate disclosed in this Agreement.
For VISA Platinum With Cash Back, all net purchases (purchases minus credits and returns, and excluding any and all fees and finance charges) up to $250 during each billing cycle, you will be credited an amount equal to 0.50% of such net purchases against the balance You owe. For net purchases exceeding $250 during each billing cycle, You will be credited an amount equal to 1.00% of such net purchases against the balance You owe. Rewards are credited at the close of each billing cycle and will be reflected as a credit on the periodic statements You receive. At no time will credits be calculated on cash advances, balance transfers, or advances using Visa Convenience checks. To be eligible for the Cash Back Rewards program, Your Account must be open and in good standing at the time the reward is to be credited. For example, Your Account cannot be past due, over limit, or the subject of a bankruptcy or a fraud investigation. In addition, if Your payment posts after the statement due date You will forfeit all rewards that would have otherwise accrued in the previous billing cycle. If You close Your Account before any rewards that would have otherwise been earned are credited (e.g. prior to the close of a billing cycle), then such rewards will also be forfeit. The Credit Union has the right to change or cancel the Cash Back Rewards program at any time.
For the applicable Monthly Periodic Rate (and corresponding Annual Percentage Rate), refer to the separate page titled “Additional Disclosure - Federal Truth-In-Lending Act” which We have included with and made a part of this Agreement.
FOREIGN TRANSACTIONS. For transactions initiated in foreign countries and foreign currencies, the exchange rate between the transaction currency and the billing currency (U.S. dollars) will be: (a) a rate selected by VISA from the range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the applicable central processing date, which rate may vary from the rate VISA itself receives; or (b) the government-mandated rate in effect for the applicable central processing date. In each instance, plus 1.00%.

IN CASE OF ERRORS OR IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT ELECTRONIC TRANSFERS. Call or write Us at the address and telephone number in this Agreement as soon as You can, if You think Your statement or receipt is wrong or if You need more information about a transaction listed on the statement or receipt.

If You tell us orally, We may require that You send us Your complaint or question in writing within 10 business days. We will determine whether an error occurred within 10 business days after We hear from You and will correct any error promptly. If We need more time, however, We may take up to 45 days to investigate Your complaint or question. If We decide to do this,
11
12
We will credit Your Account within 10 business days forthe amount You think is in error so that You will have the use of the money during the time it takes Us to complete Our investigation. If We ask You to put Your complaint or question in writing and We do not receive it within 10 business days, We may not credit Your Account. We will tell You the results within three business days after completing Our investigation. If We decide that there was no error, We will send You a written explanation. You may ask for copies of the documents that We used in Our investigation. If We have credited Your Account with funds while investigating an error, We will charge Your Account for those funds if We conclude no error has occurred. In this provision, all references to 10 business days will be 20 business days if Your notice of error involves an electronic fund transfer that occurred within 30 days after the first deposit to Your Account was made and all references to 45 business days will be 90 business days if Your notice of error involves an electronic fund transfer that: (a) was not initiated within a state; (b) resulted from a point-of-sale debit card transaction; or (c) if Your notice of error involves an electronic fund transfer that occurred within 30 days after the first deposit to Your Account was made.
ISSUANCE OF PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS. You will be issued a PIN to be used in conjunction with ATM Card and/or Check Card Electronic Fund Transfers, a PIN to be used in conjunction with VoiceTel-24 transactions, and a PIN to be used in conjunction with e-Branch. Your PINs are confidential and should not be disclosed to anyone. You may use Your PIN(s) to access Your Account and all sums advanced will be deducted from Your Account balance. Your use of Your Card and/or PIN is Your authorization to withdraw funds from Your Accounts.
JOINT ACCOUNTS. If this is a joint Account, You agree to be jointly and severally liable, under the terms of this Agreement. You understand that any Account access device that is requested and approved will be mailed only to the primary accountholder at the address that We have on file for You. We may refuse to follow any instructions which run counter to this provision.
□ABILITY FOR FAILURE TO COMPLETE TRANSACTIONS. If We do not properly complete a transaction to or from Your Account according to this Agreement, We will be liable for Your losses or damages. However, We will not be liable if: (a) Your Account does not contain enough money to make the transaction through no fault of Ours; (b) the ATM where You are making the transfer does not have enough cash; (c) the terminal was not working properly and You knew about the breakdown when You started the transaction; (d) circumstances beyond Our control prevent the transaction; (e) Your Card is retrieved or retained by an ATM; or (f) Your Card or PIN has been reported lost or stolen and We have blocked the Account.
LIABILITY FOR UNAUTHORIZED USE. Call or write Us at once if You believe Your Card or PIN has been lost or stolen, or it you believe that an electronic fund transfer has been made without Your permission using information from Your check. Telephoning is the best way of keeping Your possible losses down. You could lose all ofthe money in Your Account (plus Your maximum overdraft line of credit, if applicable). If You tell us within two business days after You learn of the loss or theft of Your Card or PIN, You can lose no more than $50 if someone uses Your Card or PIN without Your permission. If You fail to tell Us within two business days after You learn of the loss or theft of Your Card or PIN and We can prove that We could have stopped someone from using Your Card or PIN without Your permission if You had told Us, then You could lose as much as $500. Additionally, if Your periodic statement shows transfers that You did not make, including those made by Card, PIN or other means, You will tell Us at once. If You fail to tell Us within 60 days after We mail You the first periodic statement on which the transfer appears, You could lose the entire Account balance if We can prove We could have stopped someone from taking Your money if You had given Us notice in time. If a valid reason (such as a long trip or hospital stay) keeps You from giving Us notice, We will extend the time periods. Exception: You will have no liability for unauthorized use for Your Check Card as long as You report the loss or theft of Your Check Card within two business days. If You report such loss or theft after two business days, or provide proper notification of other unauthorized Check Card transactions, Your liability for unauthorized use will not exceed $50. These exceptions do not apply to transactions originating at an ATM or from Your gross negligence and/or fraudulent use of Your Check Card.
NOTIFICATION OF PRE-AUTHORIZED DEPOSITS. If You have arranged to have direct deposits made to Your Account at least once every 60 days (from Your employer, the Federal government or other payor), You can call Us to find out whether or not the deposit has been made.
OUR LIABILITY FOR FAILURE TO STOP PAYMENT. If You order Us to stop one of Your pre-authorized payments three business days or more before the transfer is scheduled, and We do not do so, We will be liable for losses or damages, to the extent provided by law.
OWNERSHIP. Your Card, PIN and any other Account access device will remain Our property and may be cancelled or its use restricted by Us at any time without notice. You agree to surrender it and to discontinue its use immediately upon Our request. You will be required to return any Account access devices to Us immediately upon the closing of Your Account.
RIGHT TO STOP PRE-AUTHORIZED PAYMENTS. If You want to stop any pre-authorized payments, call or write Us in time for Us to receive Your stop payment request three business days or more before the payment is scheduled to be made. If You call, We may also require You to put Your request in writing and get it to Us within 14 days after You call. Such stop payment notice will apply to all future payments of that particular designated debit. To be sure that a third party does not bill You again for the “stopped” payment or to cancel the entire pre-authorized payment arrangement, contact the third party.
TERMINATION. We may terminate Your right to use Your Card or PIN or cancel this Agreement at any time upon written notice. You may request termination of these services in writing.
TRANSACTION SLIPS. You can get a receipt at the time You make any transaction to or from Your Account (except for telephonic or mail-in transactions, and certain small-value transactions). When an electronic transfer has been made during any given month, You will receive a monthly statement to reflect all electronic fund transfers to or from Your Account during that statement period. Such statement will either be in an electronic or paper format depending on the method You select. In any case, You will receive a statement at least quarterly.
UNAUTHORIZED TRANSFERS. You must call Us to report a lost or stolen Card or PIN. You may also write Us to report the loss of a Card or PIN.
