Our Liability for Failure to Complete Transactions If we do not properly complete a transaction from your Card on time or in the correct amount according to our Agreement with you, we will be liable for your losses or damages. However, there are some exceptions. We will not be liable, for instance:
Your Liability for Unauthorized Transactions This section applies to unauthorized transactions involving Your username, password or security code and other unauthorized transactions. Notify Us AT ONCE if You believe that Your username, password or security code has been lost, stolen or has been learned by an unauthorized person. You acknowledge and agree that such notification must be initiated by calling (000) 000-0000 (Bask Bank Customer Support) followed by written confirmation. Furthermore, You acknowledge and agree that the written confirmation must be received by Us within ten (10) calendar days from the date of Your oral notification. If You assert that an unauthorized transfer may have occurred, or You believe Your username, password, or other security code has become known to an unauthorized person, We may require You to sign a sworn statement/affidavit to that effect. If You have selected optional Mobile Banking Services, You understand that You are solely responsible for notifying Us immediately in the event that Your Mobile Device associated with the telephone number provided to Us to register for Mobile Banking Services is lost, stolen, changed or destroyed. You understand that with regard to SMS text messages, failure to promptly notify Us may result in Your failure to receive important SMS text messages and/or the interception of such SMS text messages by unauthorized third parties. You may also incur SMS text messaging fees for such SMS text messages even if You do not receive them. You understand that We are not responsible for any costs, expenses, liabilities or damages that You incur as a result of Your failure to receive an SMS text message, the interception of any SMS text message by an unauthorized or other third party, or Your incurrence of SMS text messaging fees for SMS text messages You did not receive. YOU UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IN ADDITION TO ANY DISCLAIMERS OR LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY AS OTHERWISE STATED IN THESE TERMS, IN OTHER AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES, OR PROVIDED BY LAW, WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR LOSSES OR DAMAGES ARISING FROM: (i) NON-DELIVERY, DELAYED DELIVERY OR WRONG DELIVERY OF ANY E-MAIL COMMUNICATION THAT YOU WOULD NORMALLY ACCESS VIA THE WEB BROWSER ON YOUR MOBILE DEVICE OR OF ANY SMS TEXT MESSAGE NORMALLY SENT DIRECTLY TO YOUR MOBILE DEVICE; (ii) INACCURATE CONTENT IN ANY E-MAIL COMMUNICATION THAT YOU ACCESS VIA THE WEB BROWSER ON YOUR MOBILE DEVICE OR IN ANY SMS TEXT MESSAGE SENT DIRECTLY TO YOUR MOBILE DEVICE; (iii) ANY ACTIONS RESULTING FROM THE INTENTIONAL OR UNINTENTIONAL DISCLOSURE BY YOU TO ANY UNAUTHORIZED PERSON OF THE CONTENTS OF ANY E-MAIL COMMUNICATION YOU ACCESS VIA THE WEB BROWSER ON YOUR MOBILE DEVICE OR ANY SMS TEXT MESSAGE SENT DIRECTLY TO YOUR MOBILE DEVICE; OR YOUR USE OR RELIANCE ON THE CONTENTS OF ANY SUCH E-MAIL OR SMS TEXT MESSAGE FOR ANY PURPOSE. For any transactions processed through the VISA or MasterCard system, Your liability limits will differ from those set forth in this section. For certain transactions processed through the Visa or MasterCard system, You may have no liability if You report the unauthorized transactions to Us, in accordance with each network’s respective “zero liability” policies for unauthorized transactions. We may, however, impose greater liability, up to the extent allowed by law, if We reasonably determine that You were either grossly negligent (e.g., delay for an unreasonable time in reporting unauthorized transactions) or fraudulent in handling Your Services transactions processed through the VISA or MasterCard system. The risk to You in failing to notify Us is the potential loss of all funds in Your Account. If You notify Us within two (2) Business Days after You learn of the loss, theft or compromise thereof by an unauthorized person, Your liability is up to $50 for an unauthorized Electronic Funds Transfer or series of related unauthorized Electronic Funds Transfers should someone use Your username, password or security code without Your permission. If You DO NOT notify Us within two (2) Business Days after You learn of the loss, theft or compromise thereof by an unauthorized person of Your username, password or security code and We can prove that We could have stopped someone from using Your username, password or security code had You informed Us of the loss, theft or compromise thereof, Your liability could be as much as $500. Failure to notify Us of any unauthorized Electronic Funds Transfer should someone use Your username, password or security code within sixty (60) calendar days of when the first periodic statement which reflected such unauthorized activity was mailed or otherwise made available to You could result in additional losses by You of 100 percent. We may extend the sixty (60) calendar day timeframe when certain events prevent You from notifying Us promptly, such as extended travel or hospital stay. Upon verification, We will extend the timeframe set forth herein to a timeframe deemed reasonable under such circumstances in accordance to Regulation E. In addition, unless prohibited by law, You agree to reimburse Us for any liability, loss, cost and expense We may incur in connection with Your Account except to the extent they are caused solely by Our intentional misconduct. Children Using the Services The safety and privacy protection of children is very important to Us. Children should always ask their parent or guardian for permission before sending personal information to anyone online. You understand that for a child under the age of 13, only the child’s parent or legal guardian has authority to access the Services, even if the account has been established on behalf of that child. If You permit a child under the age of 13 to use the Services, or give the child Your username or password, You understand that You are responsible for all activity the child initiates from or to any of Your accounts, even if he or she exceeds Your authorization. You understand that You can contact Us at the information listed in the “Our Customer Support Information” section of these Terms with any questions or concerns. Our Use of Third-party Service Providers Our ability to provide certain Services and Mobile Banking Services depends on our ability to provide access to third-party networks. You authorize Us to utilize third- party service providers selected by Us to provide Services to You on Our behalf. For details regarding Our safeguarding of Your personal information, please refer to the Online Privacy Policy. In the event that We determine, in Our sole discretion, that We are unable to provide third-party network access, We may discontinue the related Service(s) or may provide the Service(s) through alternate third-party networks. You understand that We shall have no liability for the unavailability of access during any transition period, and shall give You written notice of any Service involving transfers to or from Your deposit account(s) being discontinued at least twenty- one(21) days in advance of such termination, unless such prior notice is otherwise excused by law.
