If you do not tell us within 60 days after the statement was mailed to you, you may not get back any money you lost after the 60 days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money if you had told us in time. If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods.

6. Goods and Services Purchased. If a merchant accepts the Card in payment of goods or services, and you receive credit from the merchant for goods returned or adjustments, your account will be credited. We will not make cash refunds to you on purchases made with the Card. Unless your use of the Card results in a loan from us to you, you must raise any claim or defense with respect to goods or services purchased with your Card directly with the merchant who honored the Card.
7. Terminal Malfunctions. Terminals and these services are available for your convenience and we are not liable for the unavailability or failure to operate of all or any part of a terminal. You release us from liability for personal injury or property damage incurred by you in connection with use of the Card or any terminal and consequential damages incurred in connection with the use of a Card or terminal.
8. Termination. We may terminate your privilege of using the EFT System and we and/or VISA and/or MasterCard as applicable may withhold approval of any transaction at any time. The privilege of using the Card and your PINs by any of you may be terminated by any one person who can use the accounts accessible with the Card or PINs. The Card is our property and shall be surrendered by you to us upon request and regardless of who terminates the Card privileges. Termination shall not affect the rights and obligations of the parties for transactions made with the EFT System before the privileges are terminated.
9. Account Access. You may make the following types of electronic funds transfers: (a) You may use your Card (or in some cases the Card number) and its PIN, when required, to accomplish the following transactions (some of these services may not be available at all terminals.):
withdraw cash from checking or savings purchase goods in person, by phone, or online
get balance information about checking or savings pay for services in person, by phone, or online

If you have a VISA or MasterCard Card, your Card is automatically enrolled in either the Visa Account Updater? or the MasterCard Automatic Billing Updater?. This means that whenever your Card number or expiration date changes for any reason (for example if your Card is replaced because it is lost, stolen, destroyed or expired), we provide VISA or MasterCard, as applicable, with the revised Card number or expiration date. If you have authorized a merchant to make recurring debits using your Card, VISA or MasterCard, as applicable, will provide the revised Card number or expiration date to the merchant(s) so long as they have enrolled for and are qualified for this service. Not all merchants will qualify under Visa's or MasterCard's rules so in the event your Card is replaced for any reason you should still contact the merchants with whom you have recurring debits to ensure that your recurring debits will continue uninterrupted.

If a transfer from your account will cause you to exceed these limits, we may not execute the transfer. There are no other limitations on the amount or frequency of preauthorized transfers to or from your accounts. Transactions conducted with a Card at an automated teller machine do not count toward these limitations.

12. Overdrafts/Credit Account. Each withdrawal or transfer from an account is an order to us to pay from that account at that time, which we may charge against the account even though the charge creates an overdraft. The time required to charge or credit your account after you use your Card will depend on the location of the terminal and the type of transaction, however we reserve the right to charge your account immediately upon your request for the funds transfer. If you overdraw your account you agree to immediately pay us the overdrawn amount, together with any applicable fees. If the account is maintained in connection with an overdraft credit plan, any overdraft will be made in accordance with the agreement or rules governing that account rather than this Agreement. If any account is a credit account, such as a Visa card or MasterCard card account, you should refer to the agreement provided in connection with that account for your rights and responsibilities relating to transactions affecting that account in which the Card is used.
13. Charge for Transfers. We will charge you for electronic fund transfers the fees, if any, identified in our current fee schedule accompanying this Agreement, as may be amended from time to time. When you use a terminal not owned by us, you may be charged a fee by the terminal/network operator and you may be charged a fee for a balance inquiry even if you do not complete a funds transfer. You will be notified of any such fee when you use the terminal. You may also authorize a payee to electronically debit from your account a fee because a check you presented to the payee was returned for insufficient funds.
14. Terminal Transfers. Unless you are transferring $15 or less to or from your account using an electronic terminal that accepts your Card, you can get a receipt at the time you make any transfer to or from your account using an electronic terminal that accepts your Card.
15. Periodic Statements. Unless the only type of electronic transfer that you receive is a preauthorized deposit to your passbook account, you will get a monthly account statement. If there are no transfers in a particular month, you will get a statement at least quarterly.
16. Passbook Account Where the Only Possible Electronic Fund Transfers are Preauthorized Credits. If you bring your passbook to us, we will record any electronic deposits that were made to your account since the last time you brought in your passbook.
17. Preauthorized Credits. If you have arranged to have direct deposits made to your account at least once every 60 days from the same person or company, you can call us at 608-582-2233 to find out whether or not the deposit has been made.
18. Preauthorized Withdrawals.
(a) Right to Stop Payment and Procedure for Doing So. If you have told us in advance to make regular payments out of your account, you can stop any of these payments. Here's how:
Call us at (608)582-2233 or write us at Bluff View Bank, P.O. Box 429, Galesville, WI 54630, in time for us to receive your request, 3 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. We will charge you for each stop payment order you give the charge for stopping payment identified in our current fee schedule accompanying this Agreement as may be amended from time to time.
(b) Notice of Varying Amounts. If these regular payments may vary in amount the person you are going to pay will tell you, 10 days before each payment, when it will be made and how much it will be. You may choose instead to get this notice only when the payment would differ by more than a certain amount from the previous payment, or when the amount would fall outside certain limits that you set.
(c) Liability for Failure to Stop Payment of Preauthorized Transfer. If you order us to stop one of these payments 3 business days or more before the transfer is scheduled, and we do not do so, we will be liable for your losses or damages.
19. Our Liability For Failure to Make Transfers. If we do not complete a transfer to or from your account 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:
-if, through no fault of ours, your account does not contain enough money to make the transfer.
-if the money in your account is subject to legal process or other encumbrances restricting the transfer.
-if the transfer would go over the credit limit on your overdraft credit plan, if any.
-if the terminal where you are making the transfer does not have enough cash.
-if the terminal or transfer system was not working properly and you knew about the breakdown when you started the transfer.
-if circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood) prevent the transfer despite reasonable precautions that we have taken.
-if incomplete or inaccurate information is forwarded by the U.S. Treasury or through an automated clearing house.
-as otherwise indicated in the Agreement.
20. Account Information Disclosure. We will disclose information to third parties about your account or the transfers you make: (a) to third parties where it is necessary for completing or tracing transfers or resolving errors or claims; or (b) to verify or disclose the existence, amount or condition of your accounts for third parties, such as credit bureaus, merchants or other financial institutions; or (c) pursuant to court orders and other legal process; or (d) to comply with subpoenas, summonses, search warrants or requests from government agencies; (e) to comply with state or federal laws requiring us to provide information regarding depositors and their accounts to governmental agencies; (f) to other companies affiliated with us, unless you have opted out of such disclosure in accordance with our Deposit Account Rules or privacy policy we provide to you; (g) to others with your consent; or (h) otherwise
in accordance with our privacy policy we provide to you.
21. Foreign Currency Conversion and International Fees. If you use your Card or account for a transaction in a foreign country, the transaction amount will be converted to U.S. currency. Depending on whether you use a VISA or MasterCard debit card, VISA or MasterCard may do the conversion. If the transaction is processed by VISA, VISA will use a currency conversion rate it selects from the range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the day prior to the central processing date of the transaction or the government-mandated rate in effect for the day prior to the central processing date. If the transaction is converted by MasterCard, MasterCard will use either a government-mandated exchange rate or a wholesale exchange rate. The rate MasterCard uses for a particular transaction is the rate MasterCard selects for the applicable currency on the day the transaction is processed. The rate used to convert a particular transaction may differ from the rate VISA or MasterCard itself receives and may differ from the rate applicable on the date the transaction occurred or was posted to your account. In addition, a currency conversion assessment equal to a percentage of the transaction amount debited to your account may be charged and you agree to pay such currency conversion assessment, if any, identified in the Schedule of Fees and Charges. You agree to pay charges and accept credits for the converted transaction in accordance with these terms, the Schedule of Fees and Charges and the then current applicable VISA or MasterCard rules. Charges that are based on a percentage of the amount of the transaction will be calculated on the transaction amount in U.S. Currency. If a transaction is made in a foreign country or with a merchant in a foreign country, you may be charged a fee equal to a percentage of the transaction amount debited to your account in United States dollars, and you agree to pay this international
transaction fee, if any, identified in the Schedule of Fees and Charges.
22. Amendment. We may amend this Agreement upon giving you such notice as may be required by law, effective upon the date indicated in the notice.

You release us from liability for personal injury or property damage incurred by you in connection with use of the Card or any terminal and consequential damages incurred in connection with the use of a Card or terminal.
8. Termination. We may terminate your privilege of using the EFT System and we and/or VISA and/or MasterCard as applicable may withhold approval of any transaction at any time. The privilege of using the Card and your PINs by any of you may be terminated by any one person who can use the accounts accessible with the Card or PINs. The Card is our property and shall be surrendered by you to us upon request and regardless of who terminates the Card privileges. Termination shall not affect the rights and obligations of the parties for transactions made with the EFT System before the privileges are terminated.
9. Account Access. You may make the following types of electronic funds transfers: (a) You may use your Card (or in some cases the Card number) and its PIN, when required, to accomplish the following transactions (some of these services may not be available at all terminals.):
withdraw cash from checking or savings purchase goods in person, by phone, or online
get balance information about checking or savings pay for services in person, by phone, or online
transfer funds from Checking to Checking and Savings get cash from a participating merchant

make payments from Checking, Savings, Money Market to Loans, Line of Credit
get balance information about checking or savings

You may preauthorize a one-time and/or recurring debit(s) from and/or credit(s) to your account(s). You may authorize a merchant or other payee to make a one-time electronic payment from your checking account using information from your check to (i) pay for purchases and (ii) pay bills.
If you have a VISA or MasterCard Card, your Card is automatically enrolled in either the Visa Account Updater? or the MasterCard Automatic Billing Updater?. This means that whenever your Card number or expiration date changes for any reason (for example if your Card is replaced because it is lost, stolen, destroyed or expired), we provide VISA or MasterCard, as applicable, with the revised Card number or expiration date. If you have authorized a merchant to make recurring debits using your Card, VISA or MasterCard, as applicable, will provide the revised Card number or expiration date to the merchant(s) so long as they have enrolled for and are qualified for this service. Not all merchants will qualify under Visa's or MasterCard's rules so in the event your Card is replaced for any reason you should still contact the merchants with whom you have recurring debits to ensure that your recurring debits will continue uninterrupted.
10. Limitations on Transfers. (a) Under federal regulations you may not make more than N/A transfers and withdrawals per month by means of a preauthorized or automatic transfer, or telephone (including data transmission) agreement, order or instruction or by check, draft, debit card or similar order payable to third parties from each of your savings and money market deposit accounts. If a transfer from your account will cause you to exceed these limits, we may not execute the transfer. There are no other limitations on the amount or frequency of preauthorized transfers to or from your accounts. Transactions conducted with a Card at an automated teller machine do not count toward these limitations. Your account is subject to the following limitations, which may restrict your ability to make electronic funds transfers.

11. Notice Regarding Illegal Transactions. You agree that you will not use your Card for any illegal gambling or any other illegal transaction. We reserve the right to block the use of your Card for a gambling transaction.
12. Overdrafts/Credit Account. Each withdrawal or transfer from an account is an order to us to pay from that account at that time, which we may charge against the account even though the charge creates an overdraft. The time required to charge or credit your account after you use your Card will depend on the location of the terminal and the type of transaction, however we reserve the right to charge your account immediately upon your request for the funds transfer. If you overdraw your account you agree to immediately pay us the overdrawn amount, together with any applicable fees. If the account is maintained in connection with an overdraft credit plan, any overdraft will be made in accordance with the agreement or rules governing that account rather than this Agreement. If any account is a credit account, such as a Visa card or MasterCard card account, you should refer to the agreement provided in connection with that account for your rights and responsibilities relating to transactions affecting that account in which the Card is used.
13. Charge for Transfers. We will charge you for electronic fund transfers the fees, if any, identified in our current fee schedule accompanying this Agreement, as may be amended from time to time. When you use a terminal not owned by us, you may be charged a fee by the terminal/network operator and you may be charged a fee for a balance inquiry even if you do not complete a funds transfer. You will be notified of any such fee when you use the terminal. You may also authorize a payee to electronically debit from your account a fee because a check you presented to the payee was returned for insufficient funds.
14. Terminal Transfers. Unless you are transferring $15 or less to or from your account using an electronic terminal that accepts your Card, you can get a receipt at the time you make any transfer to or from your account using an electronic terminal that accepts your Card.
15. Periodic Statements. Unless the only type of electronic transfer that you receive is a preauthorized deposit to your passbook account, you will get a monthly account statement. If there are no transfers in a particular month, you will get a statement at least quarterly.
16. Passbook Account Where the Only Possible Electronic Fund Transfers are Preauthorized Credits. If you bring your passbook to us, we will record any electronic deposits that were made to your account since the last time you brought in your passbook.
17. Preauthorized Credits. If you have arranged to have direct deposits made to your account at least once every 60 days from the same person or company, you can call us at 608-582-2233 to find out whether or not the deposit has been made.
18. Preauthorized Withdrawals.
(a) Right to Stop Payment and Procedure for Doing So. If you have told us in advance to make regular payments out of your account, you can stop any of these payments. Here's how:
Call us at (608)582-2233 or write us at Bluff View Bank, P.O. Box 429, Galesville, WI 54630, in time for us to receive your request, 3 business days or more before the payment is scheduled to be made.

We will charge you for each stop payment order you give the charge for stopping payment identified in our current fee schedule accompanying this Agreement as may be amended from time to time.
(b) Notice of Varying Amounts. If these regular payments may vary in amount the person you are going to pay will tell you, 10 days before each payment, when it will be made and how much it will be. You may choose instead to get this notice only when the payment would differ by more than a certain amount from the previous payment, or when the amount would fall outside certain limits that you set.
(c) Liability for Failure to Stop Payment of Preauthorized Transfer. If you order us to stop one of these payments 3 business days or more before the transfer is scheduled, and we do not do so, we will be liable for your losses or damages.
19. Our Liability For Failure to Make Transfers. If we do not complete a transfer to or from your account 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:
-if, through no fault of ours, your account does not contain enough money to make the transfer.
-if the money in your account is subject to legal process or other encumbrances restricting the transfer.
-if the transfer would go over the credit limit on your overdraft credit plan, if any.
-if the terminal where you are making the transfer does not have enough cash.
-if the terminal or transfer system was not working properly and you knew about the breakdown when you started the transfer.
-if circumstances beyond our control (such as fire or flood) prevent the transfer despite reasonable precautions that we have taken.
-if incomplete or inaccurate information is forwarded by the U.S. Treasury or through an automated clearing house.
-as otherwise indicated in the Agreement.
20. Account Information Disclosure. We will disclose information to third parties about your account or the transfers you make: (a) to third parties where it is necessary for completing or tracing transfers or resolving errors or claims; or (b) to verify or disclose the existence, amount or condition of your accounts for third parties, such as credit bureaus, merchants or other financial institutions; or (c) pursuant to court orders and other legal process; or (d) to comply with subpoenas, summonses, search warrants or requests from government agencies; (e) to comply with state or federal laws requiring us to provide information regarding depositors and their accounts to governmental agencies; (f) to other companies affiliated with us, unless you have opted out of such disclosure in accordance with our Deposit Account Rules or privacy policy we provide to you; (g) to others with your consent; or (h) otherwise
in accordance with our privacy policy we provide to you.
21. Foreign Currency Conversion and International Fees. If you use your Card or account for a transaction in a foreign country, the transaction amount will be converted to U.S. currency. Depending on whether you use a VISA or MasterCard debit card, VISA or MasterCard may do the conversion. If the transaction is processed by VISA, VISA will use a currency conversion rate it selects from the range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the day prior to the central processing date of the transaction or the government-mandated rate in effect for the day prior to the central processing date. If the transaction is converted by MasterCard, MasterCard will use either a government-mandated exchange rate or a wholesale exchange rate. The rate MasterCard uses for a particular transaction is the rate MasterCard selects for the applicable currency on the day the transaction is processed. The rate used to convert a particular transaction may differ from the rate VISA or MasterCard itself receives and may differ from the rate applicable on the date the transaction occurred or was posted to your account. In addition, a currency conversion assessment equal to a percentage of the transaction amount debited to your account may be charged and you agree to pay such currency conversion assessment, if any, identified in the Schedule of Fees and Charges. You agree to pay charges and accept credits for the converted transaction in accordance with these terms, the Schedule of Fees and Charges and the then current applicable VISA or MasterCard rules. Charges that are based on a percentage of the amount of the transaction will be calculated on the transaction amount in U.S. Currency. If a transaction is made in a foreign country or with a merchant in a foreign country, you may be charged a fee equal to a percentage of the transaction amount debited to your account in United States dollars, and you agree to pay this international
transaction fee, if any, identified in the Schedule of Fees and Charges.
22. Amendment. We may amend this Agreement upon giving you such notice as may be required by law, effective upon the date indicated in the notice.
