Section 2. ACTIVATION, TYPES OF AVAILABLE TRANSACTIONS AND LIMITS ON TRANSACTIONS

Card Activation You must activate the Card and select a Personal Identification Number (“PIN”) by going online at www/bankofamerica.com/Lincolnrebates or by calling us toll free at 855-477-1130 before you can use the Card.

Point-of-Sale Transactions. You may use the Card to purchase goods and services at merchants that have agreed to accept Visa debit cards by use of your signature. You may also use your Card for purchases at POS terminals that display the Maestro® symbol (Mastercard PIN debit card brand) and require a Personal Identification Number ("PIN"). If your purchase amount is greater than the amount on the Card, most merchants will permit you to pay the difference with alternative methods. You must inform the merchant before beginning your transaction and you must know the amount on the card. You do not have the right to stop payment on any point-of-sale transaction originated by the use of the Card. You agree that we are not responsible for goods or services purchased with the Card, if any merchant refuses to accept the Card, or for any other actions of the merchant. You will resolve disputes directly with the merchant on purchases made using the Card, and accept a credit to the Card as the method of refund.

Cash Transactions. The Card does not permit any type of cash transactions.

Remaining Amount. You may check the remaining amount on the Card at any time at no charge by calling 855-477-1130 or visiting www.bankofamerica.com/Lincolnrebates

Foreign Transactions/Fees. If you use your Card to purchase goods or services in a foreign currency or in US dollars with a foreign merchant (a “Foreign Transaction”), we will assess an International Transaction Fee. Please note that Foreign Transactions include U.S. internet transactions made in the U.S. but with a foreign merchant. If the Foreign Transaction is made in U.S. dollars, the International Transaction Fee will be 2% of that U.S. dollar amount. If the Foreign Transaction is made in a foreign currency, Visa or Mastercard will convert the transaction into a U.S. dollar amount, and the International Transaction Fee will be 2% of that converted U.S. dollar amount. Any International Transaction Fee will be shown in your Account history. The currency conversion rate used by Visa will be either (1) a rate selected by Visa from a range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the applicable central processing date, which rate may differ from the rate Visa receives, or (2) a government-mandated rate in effect for the central processing date. The currency conversion rate used by Mastercard will be either (1) a wholesale market rate selected by Mastercard, or (2) a government-mandated rate. The rate used by Visa or Mastercard on the processing date may differ from the rate on the date of your transaction.

Legal Transactions. You agree that you will only use the Card for transactions that are legal. For example, Internet gambling transactions may be illegal in your state. Display of a Visa or other logo by an on-line merchant does not mean that the transaction is legal where you conduct it. You agree that we may decline transactions we believe may be illegal or in violation of the applicable network rules. You also agree that if we do not decline the transaction, we may charge the Card and we are not liable to you if you engage in an illegal transaction.

Authorized Use of Card. If you authorize someone else to use the Card, you will be responsible for any transactions initiated by such person(s) with the Card.

Negative Balances. The amount on the Card will be reduced by the amount of your transactions plus applicable fees. We are not required to authorize or pay any transaction that will create a negative amount on the Card. If you attempt to use the Card for more than the then current available amount on the Card, we may refuse to authorize or we may return the transaction. However, if we do authorize or pay a transaction in excess of the amount on the Card, you agree to pay us on demand the amount of any negative balance.

Terminal Receipts. You usually can get a receipt at the time you make any transaction with the Card at a point-of-sale terminal except that you may not get a receipt if the amount of the transaction is $15 or less.

Section 3. TELEPHONE NUMBER AND ADDRESS TO BE NOTIFIED IN EVENT OF A LOST CARD OR UNAUTHORIZED TRANSACTIONS

Section 5. “ZERO LIABILITY” POLICY; BANK’S LIABILITY; ERROR RESOLUTION PROCEDURES

  1. Bank of America’s “Zero Liability” Policy for Unauthorized Transactions.
    Under the Bank of America “zero liability” policy, you may incur no liability and the Card will not be charged for unauthorized use of the Card up to the amount of the unauthorized transaction, provided you notify us within a reasonable time of the loss or theft of the Card or Card number or its unauthorized use, subject to the following terms and conditions:

    Excluded transactions. Our zero liability policy does not apply to any unauthorized electronic fund transfer which does not involve use of the Card or Card number.

    “Unauthorized” defined. A transaction is considered “unauthorized” if it is initiated by someone other than you (the cardholder) without your actual or apparent authority, and you receive no benefit from the transaction. A transaction is not considered “unauthorized” if 1) you furnish the Card, Card number or other identifying information to another person and expressly or implicitly give that individual authority to perform one or more transactions, and the person then exceeds that authority, or 2) for any other reason we conclude that the facts and circumstances do not reasonably support a claim of unauthorized use.

    “Reasonable” time defined. Reasonable time will be determined in our sole discretion based on the circumstances but will not be less than 60 days from the transaction date.

    Other considerations. We may deny you the benefit of this policy 1) if we ask you for a written statement, affidavit or other information in support of the claim, and you do not provide it within the time requested or within a reasonable time if no date is stated, or 2) under any other unusual circumstances where we believe denial is appropriate.

    Limitation of our Liability. Our liability under this policy is limited to reimbursing you for the amount of your loss up to the face amount of any unauthorized transaction covered by this policy. We are not liable for any claims of special, indirect or consequential damages.
  2. Our Liability.
    Our Failure to Complete a Transaction. If we do not complete a transaction arising from the use of the Card on time or in the correct amount according to this Agreement, we will be liable for your losses or damages. However, there are some exceptions. We will not be liable, for instance:
    (a) If, through no fault of ours, the amount on the Card is insufficient to complete the transaction; or
    (b) If the point-of-sale terminal was not working properly and you knew about the breakdown when you started the transaction; or
    (c) If circumstances beyond our control (such as power outages, equipment failures, fire or flood) prevent the transaction, despite reasonable precautions that we have taken; or
    (d) If the Card has been reported to be, or suspected of being, lost or stolen, and we have taken action to prevent transactions with the Card.
  3. Error Resolution Procedures.
    In Case of Errors or Questions About Your Transactions:
    Telephone us at 1.866.477-1130 or write to Bank of America, PO BOX 8488, Gray, TN 37615-8488 Call or write us as soon as you can in case of errors or questions about transactions arising from the use of the Card. We must hear from you no later than 60 days after the date of the transaction in question.
    (a) Tell us your name and Card account number.
    (b) Describe the error or the transaction you are unsure about, and explain as clearly as you can why you believe it is an error or why you need more information.
    (c) Tell us the dollar amount of the suspected error.
    If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your complaint or question in writing within 10 business days.

    We will determine whether an error occurred within 10 business days after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 days to investigate your complaint or question. If we decide to do this, we will credit the Card within 10 business days for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have the use of that amount 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 the Card.

    For errors involving: (i) Cards issued less than 30 days, (ii) point-of-sale, or (iii) foreign-initiated transactions, we may take up to 90 days to investigate your complaint or question. For Cards issued less than 30 days, we may take up to 20 business days to credit the Card for the amount you think is in error.

    We will tell you the results within three 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 documents that were used in the investigation.
