Substitute Checks and Your Rights What is a substitute check? To make check processing faster, federal law permits banks to replace original checks with "substitute checks." These checks are similar in size to original checks with a slightly reduced image of the front and back of the original check. The front of a substitute check states: "This is a legal copy of your check. You can use it the same way you would use the original check." You may use a substitute check as proof of payment just like the original check. Some or all of the checks that you receive back from us may be substitute checks. This notice describes the rights you have when you receive substitute checks from us. The rights in this notice do not apply to original checks or to electronic debits to your account. However, you have rights under other laws with respect to those transactions. What are my rights regarding Substitute Checks? In certain cases, federal law provides a special procedure that allows you to request a refund for losses you suffer if a substitute check is posted to your account (for example, if you think that we withdrew the wrong amount from your account or that we withdrew money from your account more than once for the same check). The losses you may attempt to recover under this procedure may include the amount that was withdrawn from your account and fees that were charged as a result of the withdrawal (for example, NSF check fees). The amount of your refund under this procedure is limited to the amount of your loss or the amount of the substitute check, whichever is less. You are also entitled to interest on the amount of your refund if your account is an interest-bearing account. If your loss exceeds the amount of the substitute check, you may be able to recover additional amounts under other laws. If you use this procedure, you may receive up to $2,500 of your refund (plus interest if your account earns interest) within 10 business days after we receive your claim and the remainder of your refund (plus interest if your account earns interest) no later than 45 calendar days after we received your claim. We may reverse the refund (including any interest on the refund) if we later are able to demonstrate that the substitute check was correctly posted to your account. How do you make a claim for a refund? If you believe that you have suffered a loss relating to a substitute check that you received and that was posted to your account, please contact us. You must contact us within 40 calendar days of the date that we mailed (or otherwise delivered by a means to which you agreed) the substitute check in question or the account statement showing that the substitute check was posted to your account, whichever is later. We will extend this time period if you were not able to make a timely claim because of extraordinary circumstances. Your claim must include: • A description of why you have suffered a loss (for example, you think the amount withdrawn was incorrect); • An estimate of the amount of your loss; • An explanation of why the substitute check you received is insufficient to confirm that you suffered a loss, and • A copy of the substitute check and/or the following information to help us identify the substitute checks: the check number, the name of the person to whom you wrote the check and the amount of the check. Overdrafts and Nonsufficient Funds When we determine that you do not have enough available funds in your account to cover an Item (including an ATM or Debit Card transaction), then we consider the Item an insufficient funds item. If you have enrolled in our optional Overdraft Line of Credit Program and have enough funds in the linked account under the Overdraft Line plan, we transfer funds to cover ACH and check items. You may also establish a link from your checking account to a savings account or money market account to cover the shortfall in your checking account. Otherwise, without notice to you, we either authorize or pay the insufficient item and overdraw your account (an overdraft item) or we decline or return the insufficient item without payment (a returned item). All types of Items, including Bank fees, may overdraw your account. We pay overdrafts at our discretion, which means we do not guarantee that we will always, or ever, authorize and pay them. If we authorize or pay an item and create an overdraft, you must pay back any overdraft immediately. Each Owner will be jointly and severally liable to pay back any overdraft created by any account Owner, even if the Owner did not write the check, initiate the transaction, benefit from it or make any deposits to the account. If we overdraw your account to pay items on one or more occasions, we are not obligated to continue to paying future insufficient funds items. We may also close your account due to overdraft activity. See Closing an Account. You agree that we may apply deposits (including, but not limited to, Social Security and similar benefits) to overdrafts without notice to or consent from you, unless the law states otherwise. We may charge you a fee regardless of whether we authorize, pay or return an item. We may assess this fee for each item we authorize, pay or return. See our Schedule of Fees herein. Overdraft Protection The Bank Offers overdraft protection services that may protect your account against overdrafts in the event you do not have sufficient available funds to cover an item authorized or presented for payment. Overdraft protection may be less costly than paying overdraft or Non-sufficient return item fees. • Overdraft Protection By Linked Accounts – With this plan, you authorize the Bank to make an automatic transfer from your savings account to cover items presented for payment against non-sufficient funds to your designated checking account. These automated transfers are considered limited transfers and each transfer is counted as one of the six transfers from a savings account allowed per calendar month. A transfer occurs from your savings account to cover items presented against non-sufficient funds. Transfers are made for the exact amount to cover the shortfall in Available Funds. General Rules and Definitions This agreement (the "EFT Agreement") governs your use of Electronic Funds Transfer Services described below ("EFT Services") that are available for the Accounts opened through the Bank Website (the "Website"). The following provisions apply only to accounts established primarily for personal, family, or household purposes. This EFT Agreement describes your rights as well as your responsibilities and as such should be read carefully. We recommend that you keep the EFT Agreement for future reference.
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.

Your Rights If You Are Dissatisfied With Your Credit Card Purchases If you are dissatisfied with the goods or services that you have purchased with your credit card, and you have tried in good faith to correct the problem with the merchant, you may have the right not to pay the remaining amount due on the purchase. To use this right, all of the following must be true:
Tax Periods Beginning Before and Ending After the Closing Date The Company or the Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed any Returns of the Company for Tax periods that begin before the Closing Date and end after the Closing Date. To the extent such Taxes are not fully reserved for in the Company’s financial statements, the Sellers shall pay to the Company an amount equal to the unreserved portion of such Taxes that relates to the portion of the Tax period ending on the Closing Date. Such payment, if any, shall be paid by the Sellers within fifteen (15) days after receipt of written notice from the Company or the Purchaser that such Taxes were paid by the Company or the Purchaser for a period beginning prior to the Closing Date. For purposes of this Section, in the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a Taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date, the portion of such Tax that relates to the portion of such Tax period ending on the Closing Date shall (i) in the case of any Taxes other than Taxes based upon or related to income or receipts, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Tax period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Tax period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Tax period (the “Pro Rata Amount”), and (ii) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income or receipts, be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the relevant Tax period ended on the Closing Date. The Sellers shall pay to the Company with the payment of any taxes due hereunder, the Sellers’ Pro Rata Amount of the costs and expenses incurred by the Purchaser or the Company in the preparation and filing of the Tax Returns. Any net operating losses or credits relating to a Tax period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date shall be taken into account as though the relevant Tax period ended on the Closing Date. All determinations necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocations shall be made in a reasonable manner as agreed to by the parties.
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.

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:
Your Rights and Our Responsibilities After We Receive Your Written Notice We must acknowledge your letter within 30 days, unless we have corrected the error by then. Within 90 days, we must either correct the error or explain why we believe the bill was correct. After we receive your letter, we cannot try to collect any amount you question, or report you as delinquent. We can continue to bill you for the amount you question, including finance charges and we can apply any unpaid amount against your credit limit. You do not have to pay any questioned amount while we are investigating, but you are still obligated to pay the parts of your bill that are not in question. If we find that we made a mistake on your bill, you will not have to pay any finance charges related to any questioned amount. If we didn’t make a mistake, you may have to pay finance charges, and you will have to make up any missed payments on the questioned amount. In either case, we will send you a statement of the amount you owe and the date that it is due. If you fail to pay the amount that we think you owe, we may report you as delinquent. However, if our explanation does not satisfy you and you write to us within ten days telling us that you still refuse to pay, we must tell anyone we report you to that you have a question about your bill. In addition, we must tell you the name of anyone we reported you to. Upon settlement of a disputed bill, we must notify anyone we reported you to that the matter has been settled. If we don’t follow these rules, we can’t collect the first $50 of the questioned amount, even if your bill was correct.
