YOUR LIABILITY
You agree to the terms of this account and the schedule of charges that may be imposed. You authorize us to deduct these charges as accrued directly from the account balance. You are liable for all transactions that you or any you may authorize, even if the person you authorize exceeds your authority.

UNAUTHORIZED TRANSACTIONS OR LOSS OR THEFT OF YOU CFB ONLINE BANKING IDENTIFICATION NUMBER OR PASSWORD
(a) Consumer Liability. (1) Notify us AT ONCE if you believe your personal identification number and/or password has been stolen or that an unauthorized transfer has occurred or may occur. Notifying us by telephone is the best way of keeping your losses down. It is possible to lose all of the money in your account as well as any overdraft line of credit.
If you notify us within 2 business days after learning of the loss or theft of your personal identification number and/or password, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your personal identification number and/or password without your permission.
If you DO NOT notify us within 2 business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your personal identification number and/or password, and if we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your personal identification number and/or password without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500 or an unlimited amount depending on when the unauthorized transaction occurred, if someone used your personal identification number and/or password without your permission.
Also, if your statement shows transfers that you did not make, notify us AT ONCE. If you do not notify us within 60 days after the statement was mailed to you at your last known address, you may be liable for the entire amount transferred after the 60 days if we could have taken action to reduce your loss with timely notice.
If you delay in notifying us because of extenuating circumstances, we will allow an extension of time for a reasonable period.
(b) Contact in event of unauthorized transfer. Telephone us AT ONCE at 715-677-4523 if you believe your personal identification number and/or password has been stolen or that an unauthorized transfer has occurred or may occur.

ERROR RESOLUTION
In case of errors or questions about your transactions and electronic transfers, call or write us at the telephone number or address listed in this agreement, as soon as you can, if you think your statement or receipt is wrong or if you need more information about a transfer listed on the statement or receipt. We must hear from you no later than 60 days after we sent the FIRST statement on which the problem or error appeared.

If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 days, (90 days if the transfer involved a new account, a point-of-sale transaction, or a foreign-initiated transfer) to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will credit your account within 10 business days for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have the use of the money during the time it takes us to complete our investigation. If we ask you to put your complaint or question in writing and we do not receive it within 10 business days, we may not credit your account.
