In order to more effectively serve you:
• Tell us your name and Account number.
• Describe the error or the transfer you are unsure about and
explain as clearly as you can why you believe it is an error or
why you need more information.
• 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 ten (10) Business Days.
We will determine whether an error occurred within ten (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 your Account within ten (10) Business Days for
the amount you think is in error, so that you will have 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 ten (10) Business Days, we may not credit
your Account. For errors involving new Accounts, POS, or foreign-
initiated transactions, we may take up to 90 days to investigate
your complaint or question. For new Accounts, we may take up to
20 Business Days to credit your Account for the amount you think
is in error. 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.
(29) WAIVERS
No delay in our exercise of our rights, powers or remedies will
affect your obligations under this Agreement. If we waive any of
the provisions of this Agreement, such waiver will only apply on
that occasion.
(30) LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We may comply with any writ of attachment, adverse claim,
garnishment, tax levy, restraining order, subpoena, warrant or
other legal process which we believe (correctly or otherwise) to
be valid and we may restrict use of your Account if it is subject
to any legal proceedings. We shall be entitled to rely upon the
representations, warranties and statements made in such legal
processes. You agree to hold harmless and indemnify us for any
losses, expenses and costs, including reasonable attorneys’
fees, incurred by us as a result of complying with such legal
proceedings. In the event of your death, we will not release funds
on deposit until all legal documents we require are delivered to
us. We may pay all or any part of the funds in a Joint Account to
a court or governmental agency upon receipt of a garnishment,
order, tax levy or similar legal process identifying any one or all
of the owners of the Joint Account.
(31) ABANDONED ACCOUNTS
State laws governing abandoned accounts may vary from state to
state. If we have not had contact from you, there is no activity on
your Account and you have not otherwise indicated an interest
in the Account for a period of time specified by state law, the
laws in most states require us to treat the funds in such Account
(e) Your Liability for Unauthorized Transfers
Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your Debit Card or PIN has been
lost or stolen, or if you believe that an electronic fund transfer
has been made without your permission using information
from your check, by calling us at 1-800-347-7000 or by writing
us at Discover Bank, PO Box 30411, Salt Lake City, UT 84130-
0411. Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible
losses down. You could lose all the money in your Account. If
you tell us within two (2) Business Days after you learn of the
loss or theft of your Debit Card or PIN, you can lose no more
than $50 if someone used your Debit Card or PIN without your
permission. If you do NOT tell us within two (2) Business Days
after you learn of the loss or theft of your Debit Card or PIN,
and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using
your Debit Card or PIN without your permission if you had told
us, you could lose as much as $500. Also, if your statement
shows transfers that you did not make, including those made
by card, code or other means, tell us AT ONCE. If you do not
tell us within 60 days after the statement was made available
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.
(f) Our Liability for Failure to Make Electronic Transfers
If we do not complete a transfer to or from your Account on
time or in the correct amount according to your instructions
and this Agreement, we will be liable for losses or damages.
However, there are some exceptions. We will not be liable, for
instance:
• If, through no fault of ours, there is insufficient money in
your Account to make the transfer.
• If the terminal or 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 transaction, despite reasonable precautions that
we have taken.
• If the transaction would have violated the terms of any of our
agreements with you or with governmental regulations.
• If the ATM where you are making the transfer does not have
enough cash.
There may be other exceptions not stated in this Agreement.
(28) ERROR RESOLUTION – ELECTRONIC FUND TRANSFERS
In case of errors or questions about EFTs, call us or write us as
soon as you can, if you think your statement is wrong or if you
need more information about a transfer listed on the statement.
We must hear from you no later than 60 days after we made the
FIRST statement available on which the problem appeared. Call
1-800-347-7000 or send your inquiry to us at Discover Bank,
PO Box 30411, Salt Lake City, UT 84130-0411.

claim made by a new party or any new claims later asserted in
that lawsuit.

claims court. However, if such a claim is transferred, removed
or appealed to a different court, we may then choose to
arbitrate.
(d) Governing Law and Rules
This arbitration agreement is governed by the Federal
Arbitration Act (“FAA”). Arbitration must proceed only with
the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or JAMS. The
rules for the arbitration will be those in this arbitration
agreement and the procedures of the chosen arbitration
organization, but the rules in this arbitration agreement will
be followed if there is disagreement between the agreement

procedures change after the claim is filed, the procedures
in effect when the claim was filed will apply. For a copy of
each organization’s procedures, to file a claim or for other
information, please contact:
• AAA at 1101 Laurel Oak Rd., Voorhees, NJ 08043,
www.adr.org (phone 1-877-495-4185) or
• JAMS at 620 Eighth Ave., Floor 34, New York, NY 10018,
www.jamsadr.com (phone 1-800-352-5267).
If both AAA and JAMS are completely unavailable, and if you
and we cannot agree on a substitute, then either you or we
may request that a court appoint a substitute.
(e) Fees and Costs
If you wish to begin arbitration against us but you cannot
afford to pay the organization’s or arbitrator’s costs, we will
pay those costs if you ask us in writing. Any request like this
should be sent to Discover Bank, PO Box 30416, Salt Lake
City, UT 84130. If you lose the arbitration, the arbitrator
will decide whether you must reimburse us for money we
advanced for you for the arbitration. If you win the arbitration,
we will not ask for reimbursement of money we advanced.
(f) Hearings and Decisions
Arbitration hearings will take place in the federal judicial
district where you live. A single arbitrator will be appointed.

the applicable state. We are required to turn over all property
presumed to be abandoned to the applicable state and you
would have to follow the state’s requirements and process to
obtain return of the funds we turned over to the state.

Any term contained in this Agreement which is determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable
under applicable law or regulation, shall not affect the validity or
enforceability of the remaining terms.

and marketing partners, may listen to or record telephone
calls between you and our representatives without additional

SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT
LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS OR ATTORNEYS’ FEES, REGARDLESS OF
THE FORM OF ACTION AND EVEN IF WE HAD ADVANCE WARNING
OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
(35) ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES
(a) Agreement to Arbitrate
In the event of a dispute between you and us arising under
or relating to this Account, either may choose to resolve the
dispute by binding arbitration, as described below, instead of

The arbitrator must:
• Follow all applicable substantive law, except when
contradicted by the FAA;
• Follow applicable statutes of limitations;
• Honor valid claims of privilege;
• Issue a written decision including the reasons for the award.
• The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding except
for any review allowed by the FAA. However, if more than
$100,000 was genuinely in dispute, then either you or we
may choose to appeal to a new panel of three arbitrators.
The appellate panel is completely free to accept or reject the
entire original award or any part of it. The appeal must be
filed with the arbitration organization not later than 30 days
after the original award issues. The appealing party pays
all appellate costs unless the appellate panel determines
otherwise as part of its award. Any arbitration award may
be enforced (such as through a judgment) in any court with
jurisdiction.
