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.

organization, but the rules in this arbitration agreement will 

be followed if there is disagreement between the agreement

 www.jamsadr.com (phone 1-800-352-5267).

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

advanced for you for the arbitration. If you win the arbitration, 

we will not ask for reimbursement of money we advanced.

(32) SEVERABILITY

Any term contained in this Agreement which is determined by a

under applicable law or regulation, shall not affect the validity or 

enforceability of the remaining terms.
