In addition, we may charge back any deposited item at any time before final settlement for whatever reason. We shall not be liable for any damages resulting from the exercise of these rights.

We are not liable to you if we pay the identified check as long as we acted in good faith or exercised ordinary care. Any damages that you incur and which we may be liable for are limited to actual damages not to exceed the amount of the check.

We are not liable to you for paying any stale, postdated or overdraft check, and you agree to reimburse us for any loss we might suffer as long as we acted in good faith or exercised ordinary care. Any damages that you incur and which we may be liable for are limited to actual damages not to exceed the amount of the check.

RIGHT TO RECEIVE DOCUMENTATION OF YOUR TRANSFERS
Transaction Receipts. Upon completing a transaction at an ATM you will receive a printed receipt documenting the trans- action (unless you have chosen not to get a paper receipt). These receipts (or the transaction number given in place of the paper receipt) should be retained to verify that a transaction was performed. You will receive a receipt at the time you perform any transaction using your ATM Card or Debit Card at a Participating Merchant.
Periodic Statements. If your account is subject to receiving a monthly Statement, all EFT transactions will be reported on it. If your account is subject to receiving a statement less frequently than monthly, then you will continue to receive your statement on that cycle, unless there are EFT transactions, in which case you will receive a monthly statement.

If you have arranged for automatic periodic payments to be deducted from your checking or savings account and these payments vary in amount, you will be notified by the person or company you are going to pay ten days prior to the payment date of the amount to be deducted. 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.

CONSUMER LIABILITY
You will tell us at once if you believe your ATM Card or Debit: Card has been lost or stolen. Telephoning is the best way of I keeping your possible losses down. If you tell us within two (2) business days, you can lose no more than fifty dollars ($50) if someone uses your ATM Card or Debit Card without your permission. If you do not tell us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your ATM Card or Debit Card and we can prove we could have stopped some- one from using your ATM Card or Debit Card without your permission if you had given us notice, you can lose as much as five hundred dollars ($500). Also, if your statement shows transfers you did not make, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within sixty (60) days after the statement was mailed to you, you may not receive back any money you lost after the sixty (60) days, and therefore, you could lose all the money in your account (plus your maximum overdraft line of credit, if applicable), if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money had you given us notice in time. If a good reason (such as a long trip or hospital stay) keeps you from giving the notice, we will extend the time periods.
CONSUMER LIABILITY FOR UNAUTHORIZED TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING DEBIT CARD
For transactions processed through the Visa system (where you do not use your PIN), or transactions processed through Interlink, or for transactions through the Visa system using your card number and PIN, your liability for unauthorized trans- action is $0.00 if you report the unauthorized transaction to us. This special "zero" liability limit will not apply if we deter- mine that you were grossly negligent or fraudulent in the handling of your account or card.
Your liability for unauthorized transactions with your Debit Card that involve PIN-based transactions not processed by the Visa TM Network, including ATM transactions, are de- scribed under "Consumer Liability" above.
ILLEGAL USE OF DEBIT CARD

IN CASE OF ERRORS OR QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR TRANSACTIONS
In case of errors or questions about your electronic fund transfers, call us at: (206) 306 7900 or write to: 1155 N 130th Street, Seattle, WA 98133 or use the current information on your most recent account statement.
Notification should be made as soon as possible if you think your statement or receipt is wrong or if you need more information about a transaction listed on the statement or receipt. You must contact the Bank no later than 60 days after it sent you the first statement on which the problem or error appears. You must be prepared to provide the following information:
· Your name and account number.
· A description of the error or transaction you are unsure about along with an explanation as to why you believe it is an error or why you need more information.
· The dollar amount of the suspected error. If you provide oral notice, you may be required to send in your complaint or question in writing within ten (10) business days. We will determine whether an error occurred within ten (10) business days (twenty (20) business days for new accounts) after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to forty-five (45) days (ninety (90) days for new accounts and foreign initiated or point of sale transfers) to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will credit your account within ten (10) business days (twenty business (20) days for new accounts) for the amount which you think is in error, so that you will have the use of the money during the time it takes to complete our investigation. If we ask you to put your complaint or question in writing and we do not receive it within ten (10) business days, we may not credit your account. The extended time periods for new accounts apply to all electronic fund transfers that occur within the first thirty (30) calendar days after the first deposit to the account is made, including those for foreign initiated or point of sale transactions. Visa's TM cardholder protection policy requires that we provide provisional credit for losses from unauthorized Visa TM Check Card use within five (5) business days of notification of the loss. We will tell you the results within three (3) business days after completing our investigation. If we decide that there was no error, we will send you a written explanation. You may ask for copies of the documents that we used in our investigation.
NOTICE OF ATM SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR ATM TERMINAL USAGE
Please keep in mind the following basic safety tips when ever you use an ATM:
· Have your ATM Card or Debit Card ready to use when you reach the ATM. Have all of your forms ready before you get to the machine. Keep some extra forms at home for this purpose.
· If you are new to ATM usage, use machines close to or inside a financial institution until you become comfortable and can conduct your usage quickly.
· If using an ATM in an isolated area, take someone else with you if possible. Have them watch from the car as you conduct your transaction.
· Do not use ATMs at night unless the area and machine are well-lighted. If the lights are out, go to a different location.
· If someone else is using the machine you want to use, stand back or stay in your car until the machine is free. Watch out for suspicious people lurking around ATMs, especially during the times that few people are around.
· When using the machine, stand so you block anyone else's view from behind.
· If anything suspicious occurs when you are using a machine, cancel what you are doing and leave immediately. If going to your car, lock your doors.
