If we need more time, however, we may take up to forty-five (45) days to investigate your complaint or questions. If we decide to do this we will credit your account within ten (10) business days for the 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 do not receive your complaint or question in writing within ten (10) business days, we will not credit your account. If we decide that there is no error, we will send you a written explanation within three (3) days after we finish our investigation. Five (5) business days after we send you our written explanation we will withdraw from your account any sums we temporarily credited to it. You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation.

In addition, you agree that we will not be responsible for
delays caused by mail service or the negligence or willful
misconduct of yourself or others. Our sole responsibility for
an error in a transfer or transaction will be to correct the
error, but in no case shall we be liable for any indirect,
special or consequential, economic or other damages, including
interest or late payment charges assessed by a merchant or a
termination of service caused by a delay in a merchant's
receiving the transfer or transaction.

We may use anonymous, aggregate information, which we collect and store, or which is collected and stored on our behalf by third party vendors, to conduct certain analytical research and help us to create new offerings and services for our customers.

Additionally, automated technology may be used to tailor messages or advertisements that best reflect your interest and needs.
YOUR INFORMATION AND ACCOUNT DATA WITH OTHER FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS.

If we make additional online financial services available to you which are applicable to data that you have transacted with other financial institutions or card issuers, and which we will aggregate at this site, we will separately ask for your consent to collect and use that information to provide you with relevant offers and services. If you give us your consent, you will be agreeing to permit us to use Financial Account Data to help us suggest savings opportunities or additional products and services to you.
If you select services that are offered by third parties or merchants through such offers or on our behalf, you will be agreeing that we have your consent to give such third parties or merchants your geographic location, and other data, collected and stored in aggregate, as necessary for such third parties or merchants to make their offerings and services available to you and to permit us to use Financial Account Data to help us suggest savings opportunities or additional products and services to you.

You may reject changes by discontinuing use of the Service and any related services to which such changes relate. Your continued use of the Service or any related services will constitute your acceptance of and agreement to such changes. Maintenance of the Service or any related services may be performed from time-to-time resulting in interrupted service, delays or errors in such Service or related services. Attempts to provide prior notice of scheduled maintenance will be made, but we cannot guarantee that such notice will be provided.

DEBIT REWARDS OFFERS. If you decide you wish to participate in the Debit Rewards Offers application, you acknowledge and agree to the following terms and conditions of service.
Debit Rewards. You will earn rewards for your participation in the Debit Rewards Offers program based on total purchases. If you participate in the Debit Rewards Offers, we will credit all cash or point rewards earned to your rewards balance and send you a lump sum of all rewards due to you. For any qualifying purchases during the current month, we will distribute the lump sum amount to you during the following calendar month. For example, if the payment date of all rewards end user disbursements is August 30, the applicable Measurement Period would be the calendar month ended July 31. Cash rewards will be deposited in the Debit Rewards Offers deposit account which is associated with the Debit Rewards Offers program.
Debit Rewards Offers Account. You must use the debit card associated with the Debit Rewards Offers account in order to receive the offers which qualify for the rewards. Rewards will not be earned for any portion of your purchase that you pay for with store credit, gift certificates or other payment types.
Purchases must be made as indicated in the offers made available under the Debit Rewards Offers program. Each offer will specify whether the purchase can be made online, at a store location, or by telephone to be eligible for rewards. You must also comply with any guidelines included with the offer, such as offer expiration dates, minimum purchase amounts, purchase limits, etc. You must also pay using the debit card associated with the account that received the Debit Rewards offer in order for the purchase to qualify.
While we and the merchants work hard to properly track and credit all eligible purchases, there may be times that we are unable to do so because of problems with your internet browser, the merchant's web site or our system. Please contact our support team if you believe you have made a qualifying purchase for which you did not receive Rewards.
Please note that you will not earn rewards as part of this program if you use a debit card not issued by us or do not have the designated deposit account opened with us at the time of disbursement.
You understand and agree that we make no warranties and have no liability as to:
