Using Your Card You understand that the use of your credit card or credit card account will constitute acknowledgement of receipt and agreement to the terms of the Credit Card Agreement and Credit Card Account Opening Disclosure (Disclosure). You may use your card to make purchases from merchants and others who accept your card. The credit union is not responsible for the refusal of any merchant or financial institution to honor your card. If you wish to pay for goods or services over the Internet, you may be required to provide card number security information before you will be permitted to complete the transaction. In addition, you may obtain cash advances from the Credit Union, from other financial institutions that accept your card, and from some automated teller machines (ATMs). (Not all ATMs accept your card.) If the credit union authorizes ATM transactions with your card, it will issue you a personal identification number (PIN). To obtain cash advances from an ATM, you must use the PIN issued to you for use with your card. You agree that you will not use your card for any transaction that is illegal under applicable federal, state, or local law. Even if you use your card for an illegal transaction, you will be responsible for all amounts and charges incurred in connection with the transaction. If you are permitted to obtain cash advances on your account, you may also use your card to purchase instruments and engage in transactions that we consider the equivalent of cash. Such transactions will be posted to your account as cash advances and include, but are not limited to, wire transfers, money orders, bets, lottery tickets, and casino gaming chips, as applicable. This paragraph shall not be interpreted as permitting or authorizing any transaction that is illegal.
PAYING YOUR BILL 10.1 What you have to pay
What To Do If You Find A Mistake On Your Statement If you think there is an error on your statement, write to us at the address(es) listed on your statement. In your letter, give us the following information:
USING YOUR ACCOUNT If you are approved for an account, the Credit Union will establish a line of credit for you. You agree that your credit limit is the maximum amount (purchases, cash advances, finance charges, plus "other charges") which you will have outstanding on your account at any time. Unless disclosed otherwise, the Credit Union will not allow advances over the credit limit. If the Credit Union has a program whereby it allows payment of advances that exceed your credit limit, subject to a fee, the Credit Union will provide you with notice, either orally, in writing, or electronically (notwithstanding the requirements of the paragraph entitled “Statements and Notices”) explaining your right to opt in to the Credit Union’s program whereby it will honor advance requests over the credit limit. In the event you opt in to such a program, you agree to the terms of such a program. You may request an increase in your credit limit only by a method acceptable to the Credit Union. The Credit Union may increase or decrease your credit limit, refuse to make an advance and/or terminate your account at any time for any reason not prohibited by law. If you are permitted to obtain cash advances on your account, we may, from time to time, issue convenience checks to you that may be drawn on your account. Convenience checks may not be used to make a payment on your account balance. If you use a convenience check, it will be posted to your account as a cash advance. We reserve the right to refuse to pay a convenience check drawn on your account for any reason and such refusal shall not constitute wrongful dishonor.
When Your Coverage Ends Coverage under this plan is guaranteed renewable. It can only be canceled by us for the following reasons: • if you leave your place of employment; • if you decide to discontinue coverage. Inform your employer prior to the requested date of cancellation and your employer will notify us. If we do not receive your notice prior to the requested date of cancellation, you or your employer may be responsible for paying another month’s premium; • if the required premium is not paid within one month of the due date. We will mail you a notice of discontinuance along with information about enrolling in an individual healthcare plan; • if you or a covered dependent no longer qualifies as an eligible person; • if we no longer offer this type of coverage; • if your employer contracts with another insurer or entity to provide or administer benefits for the covered healthcare services provided by this agreement; • if fraud is determined by us. See Rescission of Coverage section below for additional details; If your healthcare coverage is terminated for one of the reasons listed above, we will send you a termination notice thirty (30) days before the termination date. The notice will indicate the reason why your healthcare coverage has ended. When your coverage ends, you may apply for individual healthcare coverage directly from BCBSRI or through HSRI. You must meet the eligibility requirements and we must receive required enrollment information within sixty (60) days from the date your group coverage ended along with required premium. If you do not reside in Rhode Island, you are not eligible to enroll in an individual plan from BCBSRI or HSRI. You may be able to obtain coverage through an insurance company in the state in which you reside. Rescission is a cancellation or discontinuance of coverage that has a retroactive effect. A cancellation is not a rescission if it: • only has a prospective effect (as described above); or • is due to non-payment of premiums, which can have a retroactive cancellation effect. We may rescind your coverage if you or your dependents commit fraud. Fraud includes, but is not limited to, intentional misuse of your identification card (ID card) or intentional misrepresentation of a material fact. Any benefit paid in the past will be voided. You will be responsible to reimburse us for all costs and claims paid by us. We must provide you a written notice of a rescission at least thirty (30) days in advance. Except for non-payment, we will not contest this policy after it has been in force for a period of two (2) years from the later of the effective date of this agreement or the latest reinstatement date.
Secure Your Tax Records from Identity Theft Identity theft occurs when someone uses your personal information such as your name, SSN, or other identifying information, without your permission, to commit fraud or other crimes.

Falls Far Below Standard Upon further review following a preliminary Pending rating, the Commission identifies significant financial risk and has concerns about financial viability such that heightened monitoring and/or intervention are necessary.
When Your Coverage Begins Your coverage will begin on the first day of the month following your eligibility date as long as we receive required enrollment information within the first thirty (30) days following your eligibility date and the premium is paid. If you or your dependents fail to enroll at this time, you cannot enroll in the plan unless you do so through an Open Enrollment Period or a Special Enrollment Period.
