Deposit Account Rules
Deposit Account Rules
1608 Day St, P O BOX 260
Greenleaf, WI 54126
- Accounts. These Rules apply to all deposit accounts established by you with us at this time and at any future time, subject to our right to amend these Rules from time to time. Accounts subject to these Rules include, but are not limited to, saving accounts, checking accounts, NOW accounts, certificates of deposit, and money market deposit accounts and other deposit accounts we offer. These Rules apply to all depositors establishing such accounts. In these Rules, the terms you and your refer to each depositor, and the terms us, we, and our refer to the Bank. Terms not defined in these Rules have the meanings assigned to them in the Wisconsin Uniform Commercial Code.
- Account Designation Cards. When you open your account, you will sign an account designation card or similar document evidencing the account by written or electronic means acceptable to us. This will give us your name, your tax payer identification number and other information. We will treat this information as correct until you submit a written change to us.
Deposits. Unless otherwise stated in a funds availability policy, if you deposit funds to your accounts on a nonbusiness day, after the close of business on any day, or after 5:00pm or if made to a night depository, we will treat the deposit as received by us at the opening of business on our next business day. All deposits, collections and transactions between us and you shall be governed by the Wisconsin Uniform Commercial Code, as modified by the bylaws and rules of any clearinghouse association of which we are a member and our Funds Availability Policy. We reserve the right to refuse to accept deposits or specific items for deposit. We also reserve the right to limit the minimum or maximum balance that may be maintained in your accounts and the number of deposits and items deposited. You agree that any item, (including without limitation and remotely created check) you deposit (and any interest accrued on that deposit) or for which you receive cash that is returned to us by the depository institution on which it was drawn unpaid or paid but subsequently returned may be charged against any account you have with us regardless whether the other depository institution returned the item by electronic or other means before its midnight deadline and even if such chargeback creates an overdraft. If we receive notice that an item you deposited will be returned, we may place a hold on funds in the account to which that item was deposited and apply such funds against the item to be returned. If there are insufficient funds in that account for us to place a hold on, we may place a hold on funds in any of your accounts with us. We may also place a hold on funds, reverse payment of an item from your account or reverse credit of a deposit into your account if we believe that a transaction with which you are involved is subject to fraudulent or criminal activity. To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, you agree to pay any reasonable attorneys fees that we incur with regard to your fraudulent or criminal activity. We are not required to give you prior notice of any action that we take with regard to any item unless notice is required by applicable law. You waive notice of nonpayment, dishonor or protest for any item you deposit for credit or collection or that we pay you in cash unless notice is required by applicable law.
If you deposit a remotely created check as defined in 12 CFR 229.2(fff), you warrant that the person on whose account the check is drawn authorized the issuance of the check in the amount stated and to the named payee.
You agree that we may re-present any item without notice to you and that we may charge a fee for such re-presentation as set forth in our schedule of fees.
You agree that any item you deposit that is returned unpaid due to a missing endorsement may be reprocessed by us at our discretion and without notice to you if the form of endorsement required may be supplied by us. You agree to comply with the endorsement zone restrictions established by us. Until further modified by us, you may endorse any check for deposit by signing the back of the check in the area within 1-1/2 inches of the trailing edge of the check. (The trailing edge is the left side of the check looking at it from the front.) If you write or mark anywhere on the back of any check other than within this area, you will be responsible to us for any losses to us which are caused by these writings or marks.
You understand that we may convert the information on your check to electronic format and may present the check electronically to other financial institutions, a process called check truncation. We may also covert the electronic information back into paper format, a process called reconversion. Because we may truncate and/or reconvert your check, some security features of you checks may not survive the truncation/reconversion process. Some check stock may create programming and other errors during the truncation process. Therefore, we may request that you use the check stock we provide or that you use checks sold by vendors approved by us. If we request you to do so, you agree to use only check stock that we provide to you or from a vendor approved by us. You also agree to use only black or blue ink when writing checks if we ask you to do so. If we make either of these requests and you fail to comply, you will be liable to us for any errors caused by your failure to use our check stock or check stock approved by us or black or blue ink.
We reserve the right to handle any item as a collection item. If we take an item for collection, we act only as your collection agent. We are not responsible for an item lost while not in our possession. We are not responsible for any deposit made using our night depository service or sent to us by mail until we enter the deposit into our records.
You agree that you will not create and deposit any substitute checks without our prior written consent unless the substitute check has been endorsed by another bank. A substitute check is a copy of an original check that is the same as an original check for all purposes, including proving that you made a payment, if it includes an accurate copy of the front and back of the original check and contains the words: This is a legal copy of your check. You can use it the same way as you would the original check.
You authorize us to initiate automated clearing house (ACH) credit entries to the accounts and to initiate, if necessary, debit entries and adjustments for any credit entries made in error to the accounts. With respect to such entries as well as any other ACH debit entries, you agree to be bound by the rules of the National Automated Clearinghouse Association and the Wisconsin Automated Clearinghouse Association, if any, (ACH Rules) in effect at the time of the transaction. Automated credit entries made to the accounts are provisional under the ACH Rules until we have received final settlement or otherwise have received payment. If we do not receive such settlement or payment, we are entitled to a refund of the amount credited to any account and the party making payment to you shall not be deemed to have paid you in the amount of such credit entry. Under the ACH Rules, we are not required to give next day notice to you of the receipt of an ACH item and we will not do so. However, we will notify you of the receipt of payments in the periodic statements we provide to you. Payment of electronic deposits may be made to a person or account on the basis of the identifying numbers provided by the sender even if the number identifies a person(s) different than the person(s) named by the sender. You acknowledge that you will not initiate ACH entries or engage in any transaction involving your accounts that violates any applicable law or rule, including without limitation the laws of the United States.
Withdrawals. When you are making a withdrawal, we may ask you for identification. If you lose any identification item, you should tell us immediately. You may withdraw funds by using forms furnished or approved by us and by any other method permitted by us. We may accept telephone, electronic or preauthorized orders from you to withdraw or transfer funds youre your accounts and we may make such withdrawal or transfer pursuant to such instruction even if the withdrawals or transfers create overdrafts, as further explained elsewhere in these rules. We may limit the number of, or refuse to permit these transfers. Federal law may limit transfers and withdrawals from the accounts and you agree to follow these restrictions or such other restrictions as may be imposed by Federal law from time to time. As of the preprinted date of these Rules, Federal law limits preauthorized and automatic transfers and withdrawals, (including telephone transfers) and transfers and withdrawals by check, draft, debit card or similar order to third parties form saving and money market accounts to 6 per month. Activity in excess of applicable restrictions may be grounds for closing an account or removing an accounts transaction and check privileges. We also reserve the right to place additional limitations on the number of withdrawals or debits to the accounts.
If we have reason to believe that a dispute or uncertainty exists as to the rights, powers, duties or authority of any one of you or any other signer to an account or their successors, we may, but shall not be required to, refuse to permit withdrawals, pay items or recognize the authority of any signer (including any agent) until we are satisfied that the dispute or uncertainty is resolved. We will not be responsible for any damages you may suffer as a result of our refusal to allow you to make a withdrawal or pay an item due to the dispute or uncertainty.
We may pay an item drawn on an account which contains any authorized signature whether or not the form of the signature is the same as that shown on the account designation card or other account documents given to us. We may return unpaid any item that does not contain a signature reflected on the account designation card you gave us unless you have communicated to us in advance of the presentation of the item that the item should be paid. You may request that we pay items drawn on the account which bear or appear to bear a facsimile of your signature. We may pay these items, whether or not they are in fact authorized by you, as long as the facsimile signature they contain resembles any specimen or sample facsimile signature which you have given to us. You also agree that we will not be responsible if we pay any item which has forged, altered or not be responsible if we pay any item which has been forged, altered or counterfeited regardless of by whom, or by what means including electronic or photostatic copying, in a way that a reasonable person could detect. You agree that if we take an item for processing for collection or payment by automated means, we are not required to manually examine the item. You agree that we do not fail to exercise ordinary care in paying an item solely because, at our discretion, our procedures do not require for sight review of an item or may provide for sight review on a random basis or for items over a certain dollar amount. Except as provided below with respect to postdated checks, our authority to process or pay any such item will not be limited or restricted in any way by legends, limitations, restrictions or other special instructions, such as void after 6 months, written or printed on the item by you. Any such special instructions is void with respect to us and we will not be liable to you for processing or paying any item drawn on an account by reason of any such special instruction. We may, but are not required to, process or pay any item, other than a certified check, which is presented to us more than six months after its date. You agree that we may refuse to cash a check (including but not limited to a substitute check) drawn on your account that is presented for payment by a payee or indorsee who is not a customer of ours. Alternatively, you agree that we may impose additional identification requirements on a payee or indorsee who is a non-customer of ours who presents for cashing an item drawn on your account and/or we may charge a fee to cash such item. If such person fails or refuses to supply the identifying information we request you agree that our refusal to cash the item is not considered wrongful dishonor.
Fees for postdated check notices are included in our fee schedules. We will not have a duty to act on a postdated check notice until you have give us both the number and the exact amount of the item as well as the date it was written and the name of the payee and we have had a reasonable opportunity to take action prior to payment of the item. The number and amount must be exactly correct to enable our computer system to match the item to your postdated check notice. We may return and not pay postdated items regardless of when we receive them. All oral notices will expire after 14 calendar days from the date we receive the notice unless you confirm the notice in writing to us at your address within the 14 day period. Written notices will be effective for six months from the date of the written notice unless you renew the notice in writing to us at our address for another six months.
On interest bearing accounts, we may, at any time, require 7 days prior written notice of your intent to withdraw funds form the accounts.
If we participate in an electronic check presentment program, we may receive an electronic presentment notice from a bank where a check which you have written was deposited or cashed. This means that depository institution will be forwarding the check to us for payment. When we receive that depository institutions presentment notice, we may immediately charge your account for the amount of the check. If we determine that the check is not properly payable, we will return the check and recredit your account for the amount of the check.
You authorize us to debit your accounts for ACH debit entries to your accounts, including debit entries that are originated by payees that convert a check drawn by you on your account into an ACH debit entry to your account.
- Overdrafts. Unless we have agreed to cover overdrafts under a line of credit agreement or other formal written funds transfer agreement with you, if a check you write or any other transfer or withdrawal request is presented for payment, or if we otherwise receive notice of such check, transfer, or withdrawal request, and sufficient funds are not available in your account (due to insufficient funds, uncollected items, or otherwise) to cover the check, withdrawal or transfer, we may, at our option, either (1) make payment in accordance with such check, transfer or withdrawal request; or (2) return the check, transfer or other withdrawal request unpaid, and, in either case, we will not be liable to you for doing so. If we choose to pay the check, transfer or withdrawal request, and we are reimbursed by an automatic advance under a line of credit agreement or other formal written funds transfer agreement, we will impose a fee in the amount disclosed by the documents evidencing the line of credit agreement or other formal written funds transfer agreement. If we choose to pay the check, transfer or withdrawal request and have not agreed to cover overdrafts under a line of credit agreement or other formal written funds transfer agreement with you, we will impose an overdraft charge for each item in the amount disclosed in the statement of fees applicable to your account; however, in no event will we impose such a charge in connection with an ATM or one time debit card transaction if your account is for personal, family or household purposes, unless you have consented to opt in to payment of overdrafts and payment of the charge in connection with those transactions. You agree that you will, without demand, immediately deposit sufficient good funds to eliminate any overdraft and to pay permitted overdraft charges, or we may at our option withdraw funds from another of your accounts or deduct the overdraft from the next deposit to your accounts, including deposits of benefit payments, such as Social Security or Supplemental Security Income payments, in the amount of the insufficiency and any permitted overdraft charge or use any collection remedy. You are responsible for immediately reimbursing us for all overdrawn items and returned items, regardless of when or why returned, and for all permitted overdraft charges and returned check charges. Having honored such checks or other debits in the past does not obligate us to do so in the future. If there are sufficient funds in an account to cover some but not all of your check, transfer or withdrawal requests form the account, we will allow those checks, transfer or withdrawal requests that can be paid, based upon our payment procedures. We are not required to notify you if your account does not contain sufficient funds to pay all items plus applicable fees.
- Reversal. You may have the right to reverse any debit to your account sent through the ACH system that was not authorized by you in accordance with the ACH Rules. For consumer accounts and for all international ACH transactions, if you want to reverse a debit using the ACH system, this means you must give us a written statement under penalty of perjury within 15 days after you get information from us that reflects that debit. In your statement, you must declare and swear under oath that the debit was not authorized by you. If we receive your statement within the 15-day period, we will recredit your account for the amount of the payment. This right of reversal is in addition to any applicable right to stop payment and to pursue error resolution procedures under the Electronic Funds Transfer Act. We may require you to submit written statements under penalty of perjury to us under other circumstances in which you want to reverse an ACH debit entry.
- Fees and Charges. Subject to applicable law, you agree to pay service, maintenance, withdrawal, overdraft, check printing, and other fees, charges and penalties in accordance with the applicable fee schedules established by us from time to time. The types of transactions for which a fee may be imposed for overdrafts is contained in our fee schedules or account-opening disclosures that we provide to you. You may obtain a schedule of interest, fees, and charges from our office. Our current schedule of fees and charges has been given to you in a separate disclosure statement. You also agree to pay us photocopy costs and hourly fees for complying with subpoenas or other legal orders or your requests. You authorize us to deduct these fees, charges, and penalties from your accounts without notice to you and even if they create an overdraft, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law. You agree that we any charge a fee to a payee or indorsee on a check drawn on your account who is not a customer of ours and request identification satisfactory to us for cashing the check.
- Interest. Interest bearing accounts will bear interest at annual rates which are calculated and compounded by such methods as we may establish from time to time. This rate may be dependent upon the balance in the accounts. Current rate information is available by phone and other means at any of our locations. Except as required by law, we reserve the right to pay interest only on collected balances and only from the date of collection, not to pay interest on accounts open for less than 90 days, and not to pay interest accrued but not credited at the time an account closes. We will not pay interest on accounts that do not meet eligibility requirements established by law.
- Records. The balance or transaction amount shown on any receipt you receive may be checked against our records. If there is an error, it will be corrected and you will be notified. Our records will prevail if there is a difference between he amounts shown on your receipt and our records.
Statements/Notices. Unless an account is evidenced by a passbook, we will mail or make available to you a periodic statement of the accounts. Periodic statements and notices, if any, will be mailed to any one of you at the current address in our files, unless another method of delivery has been agreed to by us. If no transaction occurs, other than the crediting of interest or if a statement is undeliverable, we may discontinue providing statements. Based upon the type of account you select or our receipt of instructions from you, your checks may be retained by us or others in the check collection process and not returned to you with your statements or we may return to you original or substitute checks. If we or others retain your original or substitute checks, the original or substitute checks or copies of optical images of them will be available for a period of 60 days after posting them to your accounts. After 60 days, we may destroy the original or substitute checks or copies of optical images and use reasonable care to maintain legible records for 7 years after receipt of the original or substitute check or optical image during which time you may examine the records. Photocopies are available to you for a fee. Our responsibility for furnishing copies of items is limited to those items which are legible and available. All statements, notices, cancelled original or substitute checks and other items must be examined by you promptly upon receipt. You must notify us of an unauthorized or missing signature or alteration within 14 days after we send or make available to you your statement or original or substitute checks. If you fail to notify us within the time specified, you are precluded from asserting the unauthorized signature or alterations against us. Subject to paragraph 6 and other than an account problem as a result of a checks status as a substitute check, you must also notify us of any other account problem, including an erroneous statement or passbook entry, unauthorized or missing endorsement or improper charges within 30 days of the date we mail or make available to you your statement and checks. These materials shall be deemed given when mailed by us. If the account problem is as a result of a checks status as a substitute check, you must notify us in writing within the time required by applicable law.
If an account is evidenced by a passbook, we will allow transactions on the account by any account owner, without presentment of the passbook. The passbook is for record keeping purposes only and does not constitute evidence of authority to conduct transactions on the account or a complete record of the account.
- Individual Account. If you open an individual account, only you have the right to withdraw. Upon your death, the account balance will be payable as determined under applicable state law.
- Joint Account. If an account is designated as a joint account on the account records, sums on deposit are payable upon the request of any one of you or any survivor unless the account designation card indicates that the signature of more than one of you is necessary before sums on deposit are paid. The account designation card may indicate that a joint account requires the signature of two or more parties to the account before sums on deposit are paid. Each of you shall notify us of the death of the other. Unless indicated otherwise on the account designation card, each of you may make deposits and withdrawals, grant a security interest in or lien on the account to us and give notices and instructions concerning the account without the consent of the other, including but not limited to, instructions to close the account. However, we may require the consent of a joint owner for any transaction if we feel it is appropriate. Subject to an owners right to close an account, unless indicated otherwise on the account designation card, no owner acting alone without our consent may terminate the right of any other joint owner by retitling the account. If an item is payable to any of you, we may permit each of you to endorse such item for cash or deposit to the account. If an item is payable to all of you, all of you must endorse the item for cash or deposit to the account. We have no duty to notify one of you of the actions of the other. A withdrawal by one of you discharges our obligation to all of you with respect to the amount withdrawn unless the account designation card indicates that two or more signatures are required to withdraw funds from your account. If one joint owner dies, the account becomes the property of the surviving joint owner(s), subject to our security interest and right of set-off, and the surviving joint owner(s) is not required to survive the death by any specified period.
- Marital Account. If an account is designated as a marital account on the account records, the account is payable to either of you during the lifetime of both of you and until we receive actual written notice of the death of any one of you from a survivor or representative or beneficiary of one of you. Upon the death of either of you, 50% of the sums on deposit belong to the survivor and 50% of the sums on deposit belong to the estate or other designated beneficiaries of the decedent, in accordance with Wisconsin law, subject to our security interest and right of set-off, and neither of you is required to survive the other by any specified period. Either of you may initiate transactions on the account, endorse for cash or deposit to the account any item payable to either or both of you, or give notice or instructions concerning the account. A withdrawal by one of you discharges our obligation to each of you with respect to the amount withdrawn. Each of you agrees to notify us of the death of the other.
- Payable on Death Accounts. You may designate your account to be a payable on death (P.O.D.) account by naming one or more P.O.D. Beneficiaries and completing the proper documents. You may also change or revoke the P.O.D. Beneficiary while you are alive by completing the proper documents. You have control of the funds in your account while you are alive. If you have an individual account, upon your death, all of the funds in your account will go to your P.O.D. Beneficiaries, subject to our security interest and right of set-off and none of your P.O.D. Beneficiaries are required to survive the death by any specified period. If you have a joint account, both of you may jointly designate P.O.D. Beneficiaries and upon the death of the last surviving joint owner, the funds in the account will go to the P.O.D. Beneficiaries named on the account when the last owner dies, subject to our security interest and right of set-off, and none of the P.O.D. Beneficiaries are required to survive the death by any specified period. If you have a marital account, either of you may designate P.O.D. Beneficiaries to receive your interest in the account when you die in accordance with paragraph 13. We are not required to notify any beneficiary of the existence of a P.O.D. account or any change or revocation in a P.O.D. beneficiary designation.
- Organization Account. We will require a separate authorization document designating the person(s) authorized to make and conditions required for withdrawals from any account in the name of a legal entity such as a partnership, corporation or other organization. We will honor such authorization according to its terms until we receive written notice that it is amended or terminated by the governing body of such organization. Generally, federal law limits the availability of NOW accounts to individuals, sole proprietorships, nonprofit organizations operated primarily for religious, philanthropic, charitable, educational, political or other similar purposes, governmental units and funds held in a fiduciary capacity. If you have requested such an account you represent to us that you satisfy the eligibility requirements, and that you will not assign the account to any person who does not satisfy the eligibility requirements.
- Agent. Subject to compliance with our procedures, all of you acting jointly may designate one or more agents with such authority to act with respect to your accounts as is authorized in the document designating the agent. Any designation of agent shall be executed in a document that complies with Wis. Stat. ch. 244 or is otherwise approved by us and shall be deemed an agency relationship governed by Chapter 705, Wis. Stats. We may, on a case-by-case basis, require an original power of attorney or your signature or your agents signature to be notarized. We may also, on a case-by-case basis, require a certification, a translation or an opinion of counsel as to certain matters pursuant to Wis. Stat. ch. 244 before accepting a power of attorney. We accept no responsibility or obligation to supervise or review the use of accounts by agents.
Stop Payment Orders. When placing a stop payment order, you agree to indemnify us and hold us harmless for all expenses, costs, and attorneys fees incurred by us due to our refusal to pay the item. Fees for stopping payment are included in our fee schedules. Under the law, there are some situations where a check can be enforced against you even though you ordered us to stop payment. We will not have a duty to stop payment until you have given us both the number and the exact amount of the item as well as the date it was written and the name of the payee and we have had a reasonable opportunity to take action prior to the earlier of our payment of it or one hour after the opening of the next business day after the business day we receive it. However, if you have preauthorized an electronic transfer out of an account, stop payment orders must be received by us at least 3 business days before the payment is scheduled to be made. Except as provided below for verbal orders, a stop payment order on a check or item (other than an electronic transfer or ACH transaction) is effective for six months, unless you renew the notice, in writing within that time, for another six months. A verbal order on a check, item, electronic transfer and ACH transaction is effective for 14 days, unless confirmed in writing within that time. At our option we may continue stop payment orders beyond these time periods unless cancelled by you. Stop payment orders received after regular banking hours or on a Saturday, Sunday, or federal holiday shall be deemed received at the opening of business on the next business day (Monday through Friday, exclusive of federal holidays). The number and amount must be exactly correct to enable our computer system to match the item to your stop payment order. Stop payment orders must be received at our location where the account is held. If you have preauthorized electronic transfers out of your account to a particular company and wish to cancel that authorization, you must notify the company in writing that you are revoking the authorization and we may require that you provide a copy of the revocation to us.
If we pay the check or debit despite your timely stop payment order, the payment will stand unless you show us the check or debit was unenforceable. If we recredit your account after paying a check or debit over a valid and timely stop payment order, you agree to sign a statement describing the dispute with the payee, to transfer to us all of your rights against the payee or other holder of the check, and to assist us in legal action taken against that person. A stop payment order will be released only upon written request from the account owner who authorized the stop payment order to be placed.
- Official Bank Checks. If you ask us to stop payment on a lost, destroyed or stolen cashiers check, tellers check or certified check on which you are the remitter or the payee or the drawer, we will require you to provide a written declaration of loss describing the item with reasonable certainty. We must be given a reasonable time to act on the declaration before the item is paid. Your claim is not enforceable until the 90th day after we issued or certified the check and until that time we will pay the check to any person entitled to enforce it. Our payment of a check to a person entitled to enforce it discharges us of all liability with respect to the check. Such person may have a claim against you after the 90th day and after we have paid you.
- Substitute Check Expedited Recrediting Process. If you believe that you have lost money because you received a substitute check, you may have the right to file a claim for an expedited refund. If you have the right to file a claim, we will investigate your claim and will notify you whether we have refunded to your account the amount of your claim. The claim must be in writing and must contain certain information required by applicable law to help us investigate your claim and must be received by us within the time periods required by applicable law. If you make an oral substitute check expedited recredit claim within forty days of the date we mailed your substitute check or the account statement showing that the substitute check was posted to your account, whichever is later, you must notify us in writing of your claim for an expedited recredit within ten business days after the banking day on which we received your timely oral claim.
- Cutoff Hour for Checks. Any knowledge, notice, stop payment order or legal process comes too late to modify our right or duty to pay a check or charge your account for the check if received by us after one hour after the opening of the next business day after business day on which we received the check, or prior to that time if we do not have a reasonable time to act upon the knowledge, notice, stop payment order or legal process.
- Inactive Accounts. If no deposits or withdrawals were made or if you do not write to us indicating an interest in an account for 5 consecutive years, the account may be presumed abandoned and paid to the State as required by law.
- Lost Checks or Access Devices. You agree to notify us promptly, verbally and in writing, of any suspected loss, theft, disappearance, or unauthorized use of any card, code, check, passbook, receipt or certificate permitting access to or evidencing your accounts. Until receipt of such notice, we shall not be liable for payments made except as otherwise provided by law to any person presenting any of the above described codes, access devices, instruments or documents. We may permit withdrawals by you or issue new evidence of an account on such conditions as we may require. We may require a waiting period or proof by affidavit of the loss, theft, destruction, or unauthorized use. We may also require a bond of indemnity in any amount satisfactory to us against all claims and expenses that we may incur.
- Use of Access Devices. We may provide you with personal identification numbers, access codes or encryption devices or passwords (access devices) in connection with your accounts. If anyone uses the access devices with your permission, or you voluntarily give your access device to someone you will be responsible for any charges made to the account even if you did not authorize a particular transaction. You agree to safely keep the access devices and not to record the access devices or otherwise disclose or make the access devices available to anyone other than authorized users of your account.
- Transfer/Assignment Restrictions. Your accounts are not transferable or assignable without our prior written consent. Notice to us of a claim or interest, including without limitation, a security interest, in an account has no effect upon our rights and duties with respect to the account, and in the absence of our express agreement to the contrary or our receipt of an order of a court or administrative agency of appropriate jurisdiction, we shall not be required to abide by the terms of the notice or any instructions given to us in connection with such a claim or notice.
Disclosure of Information/Legal Process. We may disclose information about you and your accounts or transactions on your accounts (a) to third parties where it is necessary for completing transfers or tracing transactions, or resolving errors or claims; (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; (c) pursuant to court orders and other legal process; (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 as provided below; (g) to others with your consent; and (h) otherwise in accordance with our privacy policy we provide to you. We may share information bearing on your credit worthiness, credit standing, credit capacity, character, general reputation, personal characteristics or mode of living with our affiliates unless (1) you direct us at the address above that such information is unrelated to your transactions or experiences with us and may not be shared by us with our affiliates, (2) the information constitutes medical information as defined under applicable federal law, or (3) the information when provided to an affiliate would constitute a consumer report under applicable law.
We shall not be liable to you for honoring garnishments, levies, or other legal process received by or served upon us which, in our opinion, apply or may apply to your accounts. Notice of such disclosure or process will be provided to you only when required by law. Any such process is subject to our security interest and right of set-off.
You authorize us to obtain information concerning your credit standing if you establish any account with us that is subject to withdrawal by check, draft, card or similar items, or from which you make electronic transfers or preauthorize transfers. You also authorize us to obtain information or make inquiries about you in connection with opening, maintaining or closing your account with us or offering other services to you.
- Change of Address or Name and Notice. You agree to advise us promptly, in writing , of any change of address or name. Notice from us to any one of you, whether such notice is by mail to the address maintained with us for the accounts or otherwise, shall constitute notice to all persons having any interest in the accounts. We will retain any mail returned to us as undeliverable for a period of sixty days and may after that time destroy such mail.
- Taxpayer Identification Number.

Beating Singaporeans, Jamaicans, Turks, Belgians, Nepalese, Botswanans, Chinese, Japanese and a few others, Brazilians were awarded the title of coolest nationality in the world by CNN Go.
Surely enough, "Without Brazilians we wouldn't have samba and Rio Carnival; we wouldn't have the soccer beauty of Pelé and Ronaldo; we wouldn't have the minuscule swimwear and toned bodies of Copacabana Beach; and we wouldn't have certain eye-watering procedures performed with wax".
But what else is so good about my homeland? Is it the fact that Brazil convinced the planet that it could host both the Olympic Games in 2016 and the World Cup in 2014? Or could it be the fact that Brazil is a leader in the alternative energy industry? It can't only be the size and potential of this South American giant, its booming economy and the amazing landscape…
I inevitably have to go back to the year of 2005 and remind you that the Brazilian Association of Advertisers, ABA, rolled out an institutional campaign to recognize and promote good feelings of Brazilian citizenship among the Brazilian population. This was a campaign showing real-life heroes, who went through extremely difficult or impossible situations in their lives and didn't give up. The motto of the campaign was "the best thing about Brazil is the Brazilian people." In each of the commercials, the feeling of overcoming these great hurdles culminated with the catch-phrase: "I'm Brazilian and I never give up."
Let us not forget that Brazil has had about 20 years of military dictatorship from 1964-1985, and that parts of the country are still underdeveloped, to say the least. And yes, if you've seen the Brazilian contemporary cinema or read the newspapers recently, you've seen what's happened in the favelas. Despite all these challenges, Brazil is such a huge country that the chaos of violence and urban congestion from the Southeast, in Rio and São Paulo, doesn't necessarily mirror the rest of the country.
And if imperfection has its charm, then, Brazilians can proudly cherish their amazingly contrasting landscapes and regional attractions, the fresh tropical fruits and food, the unique Brazilian jeitinho and Brazilian warmth, and of course, its people. And I'm not even talking about the fact that God, may indeed, be Brazilian, after all, according to the comedy Deus é Brasileiro…

Just some questions to get a better understanding of the issue:
- What version of ACT! are you using? Go to Help/About ACT!
- What operating system (XP Home/Pro, Vista Basic/Premium/Business) are you using?
- When does this error occur?
- Does this happen with more than one picture field? With more than one picture file?
- If you are in a multi-user environment with a shared database, is this happening on other computers as well?
Greig Hollister
Note: Effective 6/1/13, Sage no longers provides support for the Act! software. This is now provided by Swiftpage.
Hi, Natasha here, currently I have a stand alone installation.
I'm running XP professional and Using ACT Premium 2009. I have 2 image files so to speak. I created a Picture field and I used a picture for the back ground. My default layout for ACT is 1024x768 and the background picture is 1076x768 I don't know if that makes a difference.
When everything started to get crazy is when I imported some of the contacts from the demo database. Pictures included. I got the error while changing the companies and adjusting the pictures. I also got a "GUI" error. I don't know what that is.
I'm not really into computers or file types and stuff. I'm kind of an end user trying to branch out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would also like to know if you have any suggestions for an online training site. I'm in Trinidad and have no consultants here.
Thanks again

Mazda Cx-3 CX AND THE CITY (76/100)
Mazda's dinky CX-3 is a compact urban small SUV that's been much improved. Jonathan Crouch reports.
Ten Second Review
Mazda's appealing little CX-3 was designed to condense all the best bits of the larger CX-5 into a smaller package. Now, it gets a smarter interior, updated technology and the option of a new 1.8-litre SKYACTIV-D diesel engine. As before, it comes in front or all-wheel drive, and is offered in a line-up primarily built around petrol power. It's also light and it's good looking, with a chunky equipment list and reasonable pricing. What more could you ask for?
These days, if you're a car maker and design a supermini, then you really have to create a small Crossover from it too. You know, one of those small Nissan Juke-style models that offer extra attitude, a bit more usability, a higher ride height and something of an SUV feel. The market's full of them, this being Mazda's contender, the CX-3. Here's a model very much in tune with this Japanese brand's current vision for automotive design - it's so-called 'SKYACTIV' philosophy that's all about creating cars that are light, efficient, pretty and, above all else, fun to drive. In the metal, it looks an energetic little thing and over the years, we've found that it drives that way too thanks to willing SKYACTIV engines and light underpinnings that are carried over from the little Mazda2 this model's based upon. All this car really needed when it came to the mid-term wash 'n brush-up was a little extra safety and infotainment technology, plus a more class-competitive diesel option. All this features within the revised model range we're going to look at here.
Driving Experience
Like most crossovers in this class, the CX-3 is offered with a choice of front or all-wheel drive chassis, and petrol and diesel engines. The petrol engines comprise 121 or 150PS 2.0-litre units which together will account for most UK sales. Available in all trims, with both manual and automatic transmissions, the 120PS powerplant with front-wheel drive is sure to remain the most popular petrol variant. The 150PS petrol unit is mated to an all-wheel drive chassis and a six-speed manual gearbox in Sport Nav+ trim. The key change here is the replacement of the previous 105PS 1.5-litre diesel engine with a 1.8-litre 115PS unit that adopts rapid multi-stage combustion, with new egg-shaped pistons that combine with ultra-high response multi-hole piezo injectors to increase combustion efficiency. As before, the diesel CX-3 can only be had with 2WD and manual transmission. Mazda's SKYACTIV design ethos continues to be key across the line-up, stripping unnecessary weight out of the engines, body, chassis and transmissions. While this sometimes means that road noise is a little higher than some rivals, huge paybacks come in sharper handling, stronger braking, keener acceleration and better efficiency. We mentioned refinement. Mazda has tried to improve that with this revised model with upgraded door sill trims, thicker sound isolation in the doors, enhanced rear glazing and an increase in the cabin headliner thickness. To meet the required focus on the driver engagement you'd expect from Mazda, new coil springs and dampers have been fitted, while the front anti-roll bar has also been changed. Combined with a recalibration of the electric power steering, the end result is more consistent weight transfer and improved shock absorption.
Design and Build
This remains on of the better-looking compact crossovers out there. All too often, cars in this class look gawky, too stubby, too tall and too narrow, with strange, hall of mirrors dimensions. Somehow the CX-3 just looks right, thanks to its cab-back body and long bonnet proportioning. The predatory headlights are anything but cutesy and the coupe-like roofline gives it a real sporting stance. For this revised model, there's s marter front grille, while darker side pillar treatment enhances the sweeping coupe-like profile. Mazda's signature Soul Red Crystal Metallic paint is also now available too. However, it's inside that customers will notice the biggest revisions, with a more comfortable, ergonomic and upmarket interior. Redesigned around the adoption of an electric parking brake, the centre console now flows more elegantly into the dashboard, while the Mazda Multimedia Commander has moved forward for improved usability. Comfort and functionality has also been improved with a padded armrest with console storage box underneath. The front seats benefit from use of high-damping urethane foam cushions that improve comfort and support, while the rear seats now feature a central armrest with built in cup holders. Out back, as before, there's a 350-litre boot with a flexible cargo board boot floor, which can be lifted to provide a flat load space when the standard 60:40 split fold rear seats are tumbled.
Market and Model
Prices start at around £19,000 and top out at around £25,000. The entry-level 'SE Nav+' models get 16-inch alloy wheels, plus heated and power folding mirrors, while 'SE-L Nav+' models add rear privacy glass and front LED fog lights. At the top of the range, the CX-3 'Sport Nav+' is one of the first cars in the class to come with LED headlights. With LED rear lights,18-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels and chrome accent door sills it's sharp looker. All models get a 7-inch colour touchscreen, cruise control, DAB radio, Bluetooth and a multifunction steering wheel, while 'Sport Nav+' models also feature navigation with 3-years free European map updates, a reversing camera, Bose surround sound, smart keyless entry and a head-up display. Choose an 'SE-L Nav+' model and you'll find heated front seats, rear parking sensors, automatic climate control and rain-sensing wipers. There's a full complement of airbags, including curtain bags. Hill Hold Assist, Tyre Pressure Monitoring System and Dynamic Stability Control are standard across the range, while 'SE-L Nav+' and 'Sport Nav+' models feature Mazda's Lane Departure Warning System and Smart City Brake Support.
Cost of Ownership
Mazda's almost fanatical devotion to stripping unnecessary weight out of its cars means that although many of its cars look pretty substantial, they can weigh as much as a car in the next class down. This has all sorts of beneficial effects, not only in terms of vehicle dynamics but also when it comes to efficiency. Case in point: the CX-3 front-wheel drive diesel variant. With emissions of just 114g/km, this model should regularly be able to return well over 60mpg. That's what many would expect from a tiny citycar rather than a crossover that can seat five. The 121PS petrol engine puts out around 140g/km of CO2, while the 150PS petrol unit manages 160g/km - or 152g/km in auto form. Just like the CX-5, residual figures have proved to be healthy. Insurance figures are also going to be reasonable as, thanks to that light weight, you get respectable performance without having the sort of horsepower figures that make insurance companies nervous.
All About Safety
A small Crossover needs to be more than just dynamic and frugal, with stylish cleverness an equally important attribute. This one seems to stack up well here, with pleasing looks, cutting edge safety electronics and the kind of interior infotainment cleverness you'd normally find only on a much more expensive car of this kind. Yes, there's a price to pay for all this attention to detail, one that may mean you having to stretch our budget a little further than you might have expected to for a car of this kind. We think this CX-3 is good enough to justify that though. It's not the most obvious class contender you could choose but it's undeniably, a very complete one.

Tutorial 4: Date & time: TBA
Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network (VNAT)
Dr. Taieb Znati
Computer Science Department
Imagine the day when traffic movements are assessed in real time and collected data is used to prevent car collisions; the day when car automatically determine current road conditions and avoid traffic congestion; the day when highway deaths are reduced to zero. Are we ever going to get there? The Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network (VANET) technology is enabling a wide range of safety and non-safety critical applications and services with the potential to move us closer to these targets. The objective of this tutorial is to discuss the unique networking and communications requirements of VANETs, provide a detailed descriptions of the state-of-the-art in the area of vehicular technology, ranging from communications, networking and applications to security and privacy, discuss current standards and standardization efforts arcos the world, and outline challenges and future research directions to enable large-scale, efficient and safe vehicular ad-hoc networks and applications.
The specific topics to be covered in this tutorial include:
Prof. Taieb Znati Biography:
Dr. Znati obtained the MS (Computer Science) from Purdue University, and the PhD (Computer Science, 1988) from Michigan State University.
He joined the faculty of the Department of Computer Science with a joint appointment in the Graduate Program in Telecommunications at the University of Pittsburgh in 1988. Prior to that he was a member of the Syrius research group headed by Dr. G. Lelan at INRIA (France), which investigated issues related to the design and analysis of distributed data base systems.
Dr. Znati's current research interests focus on the design of network level channel abstractions for real-time communication networks to support multimedia environments, the design and analysis of medium access control protocols to support distributed real-time systems, and the investigation of fundamental design issues related to distributed systems in the areas of machine learning, cognitive modeling, problem solving, and analogical reasoning.

All week long we have seen images of people who in the midst of terrible tragedy ran towards the victims, ran selflessly into the danger with one purpose in mind: to help another and often times the other was a stranger. Stories of loss evoked tears to flow but the words, "Boston Strong" emerged as the community identity. We witnessed such solidarity of purpose and compassion… thunderous gratitude for all those first responders and tremendous concern for all those beginning a very long journey of healing.
In West Texas, we once again witnessed the immediate garnering of people to address so much pain left in the wake of a huge explosion but while these events rightly called for tremendous media coverage, there are so many places with supportive acts reflecting the true experience of community which go unnoticed.
The Saturday before the Boston Marathon, I spent the day in Lancaster, Pa. Over the past 45 years, the very private Amish community step into the public light to raise funds in support of their local Rawlinsville Fire Company. They want to show their appreciation to the heroic men and women who volunteer their time to ensure everyone in their community is safe and secure. A minimum of 180 hours of training are required but so many have gone above and beyond that. Learning how to carry frantic people down ladders while a fire is blazing is just one of the many emergency situations they must be prepared for. I would like to add my voice of gratitude to Chief Carl Strickler Jr., Deputy Chief Rich Fuhrman, Assistant Chief Kevin Boyer, Lieutenant One Aaron Neely, Lieutenant Two Matthew Watson, Captain Dave Walter and Fire/police officer Ray Scott for their generosity of time in providing me with interviews and how great you all were in helping me achieve different vantage points to photograph (a special thanks to Rich for great ideas and Aaron for taking the camera to the roof!)
Last Saturday, I was in the midst of true community spirit and during the week witnessed extraordinary collaboration and cooperation merging with dedication and commitment to each other.

Lots happening on the publishing front in the near future! Of Myths and Men: An Anthology is now available for pre-order and will officially release on July 21. I'm hoping GR8 Greeks will follow in the next month or two, but I haven't heard definitely. Our lovely and gracious editor, Caitlin L. McCulloch, has also just published the third book in her Francine the Monster children's series, Francine Appreciates Art, illustrated by Rayan Turner.
In further Witty Word Press news, I'm involved in several more anthologies coming out in the next year:
- FOUR, in which my character suddenly finds herself one of only four people left on Earth;
- BC Now, modern adaptations of Bible stories–mine will be based on the Book of Daniel;
- The Day Before, differing perspectives on August 5, 1945, the day before the bombing of Hiroshima;
- and The Rough, a space Western anthology (YEEHAW!).
I do hope to get Loyal Valley: Diversion finished in there somewhere, but a lot depends on health and other work demands. (Your pledge on Patreon or donation through Ko-fi can help make it happen faster–the less I have to scrape for a living, the more time I have to write!) If you'd like to see some fun Loyal Valley content sooner, however, I'm participating in #WIPJoy on Facebook this month, hosted by Bethany A. Jennings.
I also want to plug a couple of non-fiction books by friends of mine that are also available for pre-order. If you already follow my Facebook page, you've probably seen a few videos I've shared in which O. Alan Noble discusses his new book Distruptive Witness: Speaking Truth in a Distracted Age, published by InterVarsity Press. That comes out on July 17. And on December 6, Our Sunday Visitor will be releasing Amanda Martinez Beck's memoir Lovely: How I Learned to Embrace the Body God Gave Me.

Clearly these pictures weren't taken in Phoenix.
These are from when I was in Michigan a few weekends ago. I definitely wouldn't not be able to wear a warm cozy sweater like this in Phoenix….not without having a heat stroke at least. It was pretty cold in Michigan when I was there and I loved being able to dress all cozy and warm. It's always a nice change of pace after the Phoenix summers.
The week before I went to Michigan I had a post go live, 3 Sweater & Jacket Combinations for Fall. This outfit is based on the first look I put together in that post. A monochromatic look (kind of) paired with my favorite denim jacket. For me, it was kind of a perfect fall look and I'm looking forward to when I can wear this look again.
If you are in the colder temps, I think this would also make a great Thanksgiving outfit. It's cozy, but not stuffy, plus it looks nice and put together without being too over-the-top. In my family, dressing to the nines is not necessary on Thanksgiving, but we all still put effort into our looks. So having a Thanksgiving outfit like this is kind of perfect, cozy, yet still chic.
My family is actually coming out to Phoenix for Thanksgiving this year(can.not.wait), so this outfit will probably be out of the question for me. I am looking forward to putting together a Thanksgiving outfit that will work out here. A look that is still comfy and chic, but probably not as cozy.
Do you plan out your Thanksgiving outfit?
And on that note…Happy Friday! There won't be too much going on here this weekend, mostly just getting things done. The norm 🙂 Do you guys have anything fun going on? Please share!

What is Jing?
To Jemma's family she is also known as Jing, later discovered various meanings of her nickname through the studies of Qigong.
Translated in Qigong and TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine)
And internal exercise texts as "Essence of Life", "Vital Essence", "Body Essence", "Congenital Essence", or just plainly "Essence".
Jing is considered to be a fundamental substance in the body, which is connected to both the building up of the physical structure and also maintaining the body's numerous functions.
In more common texts the meaning of Jing can be defined by using several words. For example: refined, pure, perfect, clear, crystal, excellent and superior. These various meanings describe Jing as something of great importance, pure in nature, perfect in arrangement, a refined substance likened to tempered gold..
What is Life?
The course of existence of a Human Being and how one chooses to live it, the experience of being alive and the chosen course of human events and activities.

Using web standards, many web designers have become a lot better at ensuring their sites are readable by speech browsers but what about the much larger audience that have some limited vision.
Feeling smug about accessibility
As I continue to work on the redesign of the Headscape website, it would be easy for me to become rather complacent about accessibility. After all, I have separated content from design ensuring the site degrades nicely on older browsers and works well for most speech browsers. I have even ensured all my XHTML is valid and the code passes a bobby check. What more could be asked of me?
The trouble with accessibility
The trouble is accessibility is about more than fulfilling a series of checkpoints or building to a certain set of standards. Sometimes things are more complex than that and sometimes there are no clear answers at all.
Low vision users
Take for example low vision users. Unlike speech browser users it is not enough to create clean code which their browsers can easily read (although even that has a whole bunch of issues I will not bore you with here). Low vision users have a number of requirements that need to be specifically catered for. For example:
- They require a simplified interface free of anything but the most essential navigational elements.
- They need a single column layout as content can be pushed off screen at large font size.
- It is imperative the user can scale the font to any size without the design breaking.
So what are the options?
Remove the site sheet
The quickest and easiest option would be to allow the user to strip out all the styling of the site and see the raw content. It would not look very pretty but at least they would be able to scales it or even change the colours using their browser settings.
The downside of this approach is that this goes no way to meeting the first of our three criteria listed above because it just shows everything to the user.
Make the site scalable
Another option is to make the site scalable. This means that the interface adapts to compensate for increases in font size. However even the best scalable site is going to be hard pushed to accommodate some of the font sizes visually impaired users require. One option is to make the site elastic which means the whole interface magnifies with the text. The downside of this approach is that it can push elements off screen and as a result low vision users often fail to see them.
Of course using a single design approach to fit all also has an impact on the visual styling of the site as well as the usability. For example, a user who does not have a visual impairment is going to find a single column design frustrating and unattractive. It smacks of designing for the lowest common denominator where nobody wins.
Alternative stylesheet
The third option and my current favourite, is to create an alternative stylesheet for visually impaired users. Because we have separated content from design, it is easy to create a new style that can accommodate all of a visually impaired users requirements without compromising the standard design.
In some ways this feels like going full circle back to the days were we used an alternative accessible version. This approach was generally frowned upon especially by organisations such as the RNIB because these accessible sites often had less content and were poorly maintained. There was a feeling that disabled users were being treated as second class citizens.
The zoom layout is not like a ghettoized text-only page. It remains as fresh and updated as the regular page because the content is the same. All that has changed is the style sheet.
I tried to speak to the RNIB about this issue, but unfortunately despite assurances they would respond, have heard nothing. However, I then discussed it with Robin Christopherson at AbilityNet who specialise in assistive technology and he agreed that alternative stylesheets was the best option currently available:
If done properly they can radically alter the experience for different groups. This is quite different from 'ghetoising' groups by offering them an alternative site with, in most cases, less content or functionality (your 'Text only' link). It's this that we and the RNIB object to.
The problems
Unfortunately, at the moment even this approach is not without its problem. The biggest and most obvious of which is the fact that when a user arrives at your site they have to first find the accessible version. This can be incredibly challenging and there is no simple solution. Obviously, a prominent link will help but at the sizes some visually impaired users would require this will totally dominate the design.
The ideal world
In an ideal world there would be a way of telling the browser that a zoomed version is available. The user could then configure the browser to use this alternative version if it is found. Although there is some talk about making this happen it is still a long way from being a reality. In the meantime we might have to accept there is no ideal solution and endeavour to find a happy medium that provides the best possible to all users.
So what's your approach?
So how does your site cater for low vision users? Do you do anything at all? I would love to hear how other people tackle the issue.
Further reading
If you want to know more about creating alternative low vision versions of your site I would highly recommend these two pages:

The Utah Jazz and Cleveland Cavaliers are discussing a trade involving the first overall pick.
The Jazz are offering Derrick Favors, Alec Burks and the No. 5 pick to the Cavaliers for the No. 1 selection and Jarrett Jack.
The Cavaliers wanted a future unprotected pick, but the Jazz countered with the No. 23 pick. The Jazz are split on whether or not to include Burks.
The Jazz presumably would pick between Andrew Wiggins and Jabari Parker.

Climbing Great Buildings update- manic!
3rd Aug 2010
It's official, I now have no idea what day of the week it is anymore, in fact I can't even remember what month we're in! We are in the middle of quite an intense section of the filming schedule and each day is merging into the next, so much so that I'm finding it difficult to remember where I was yesterday- oh yes, it was Blenheim Palace!! Quite a difficult building to forget…
Since my last blog, we have been to;
Layer Marney House, Essex
Burghley House, Lincolnshire and
Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire.
My brain is awash with visions of historic buildings and Premier Inn d
