Special Disclosures for <strong>Transfer</strong>s:<br />

My use of the EFT service for transfer of funds electronically, other than those for which the primary purpose is the purchase<br />

or sale of securities (“Covered <strong>Transfer</strong>s”), is covered under the <strong>Electronic</strong> <strong>Funds</strong> <strong>Transfer</strong> Act <strong>and</strong> the Federal Reserve<br />

Board’s Regulation E <strong>and</strong> related laws <strong>and</strong> regulations. The following disclosures apply to Covered <strong>Transfer</strong>s:<br />

• Unauthorized <strong>Transfer</strong>s: I will tell <strong>Fidelity</strong> promptly if I believe my PIN has been lost or stolen or may have been used<br />

without my permission. Telephoning <strong>Fidelity</strong> at the number listed below is the best way of keeping my possible losses<br />

down. If I believe my PIN has been lost or stolen, <strong>and</strong> I tell <strong>Fidelity</strong> within two (2) business days after I learn of the loss<br />

or theft, I can lose no more than $50 for Covered <strong>Transfer</strong>s if someone used my PIN without my permission. If I do NOT<br />

tell <strong>Fidelity</strong> within two (2) business days after I learn of the loss or theft of my PIN, <strong>and</strong> <strong>Fidelity</strong> can prove <strong>Fidelity</strong> could<br />

have prevented any unauthorized use if I had told <strong>Fidelity</strong>, I could lose as much as $500. Also, if my statement shows<br />

Covered <strong>Transfer</strong>s that I did not make, I will tell <strong>Fidelity</strong> promptly. If I do not tell <strong>Fidelity</strong> within sixty (60) days after<br />

the first statement was mailed to me, I may not get back any money I lost after sixty (60) days if <strong>Fidelity</strong> can prove that<br />

<strong>Fidelity</strong> could have stopped someone from taking the money if I had told <strong>Fidelity</strong> in time. In extenuating circumstances<br />

<strong>Fidelity</strong> may extend such time periods. Additional protection may be available from <strong>Fidelity</strong> for specific accounts under<br />

certain circumstances.<br />

• Stop Payment Procedures: If I have told <strong>Fidelity</strong> in advance to make regular Covered <strong>Transfer</strong>s out of my <strong>Fidelity</strong><br />

account, I can stop any of these payments. Here’s how: I can call or write to <strong>Fidelity</strong> using the Contact Information listed<br />

below. My notice must be made in time for <strong>Fidelity</strong> to receive my request a least three (3) business days or more before<br />

the payment is scheduled to be made. If I call, <strong>Fidelity</strong> may, as an additional measure, require me to put my request in<br />

writing <strong>and</strong> get it to <strong>Fidelity</strong> within fourteen (14) days after I call. Unless otherwise provided, I may not stop payment of<br />

electronic funds transfers; therefore, I should not employ electronic access for purchases or services unless I am satisfied<br />

that I will not need to stop payment.<br />

• <strong>Fidelity</strong>’s Liability for Failure to Make Covered <strong>Transfer</strong>s: If <strong>Fidelity</strong> does not complete a Covered <strong>Transfer</strong> to or<br />

from my <strong>Fidelity</strong> account on time or in the correct amount according to <strong>Fidelity</strong>’s agreement with me, <strong>Fidelity</strong> may be<br />

liable for my losses or damages. However, there are some exceptions. <strong>Fidelity</strong> will not be liable, for instance:<br />

3 of 5


• If, through no fault of <strong>Fidelity</strong>’s, I do not have enough money in my <strong>Fidelity</strong> account to make the Covered <strong>Transfer</strong>.<br />

• If the money in my <strong>Fidelity</strong> account is subject to legal process or other claim restricting such transfer.<br />

• If the transfer would exceed my margin availability, if any.<br />

• If the bank account information I provided to <strong>Fidelity</strong> when I established the <strong>Electronic</strong> <strong>Funds</strong> <strong>Transfer</strong> service was<br />

incorrect or has subsequently become incorrect.<br />

• If circumstances beyond <strong>Fidelity</strong>’s control (such as fire or flood) prevent the transaction, despite reasonable precautions<br />

taken by <strong>Fidelity</strong>.<br />

• If there was a technical malfunction which was known to me at the time I attempted to initiate a Covered <strong>Transfer</strong> or,<br />

in the case of a Covered Preauthorized <strong>Transfer</strong>, at the time the transfer should have occurred.<br />

• There may be other exceptions stated in <strong>Fidelity</strong>’s agreement with me.<br />

• Error Resolution: In the case of errors or questions about my Covered <strong>Transfer</strong>s, I will call or write <strong>Fidelity</strong> using<br />

the contact information listed below, promptly. I will call or write <strong>Fidelity</strong> if I think my statement is wrong or if I need<br />

more information about a Covered <strong>Transfer</strong> on the statement. <strong>Fidelity</strong> must hear from me no later than 60 days after<br />

<strong>Fidelity</strong> sent the FIRST statement on which the problem or error appeared. I will:<br />

• Tell <strong>Fidelity</strong> my name <strong>and</strong> account number.<br />

• Describe the error or the Covered <strong>Transfer</strong> that I am unsure about, <strong>and</strong> explain as clearly as I can why I believe it is an<br />

error or why I need more information.<br />

• Tell <strong>Fidelity</strong> the dollar amount of the suspected error.<br />

If I notify <strong>Fidelity</strong> orally, <strong>Fidelity</strong> may require that I send my complaint or question in writing within ten (10) business<br />

days. <strong>Fidelity</strong> will tell me the results of its investigation within ten (10) business days after <strong>Fidelity</strong> hears from me <strong>and</strong> will<br />

correct any error promptly. If <strong>Fidelity</strong> needs more time, however, it may take up to forty-five (45) days to investigate my<br />

complaint or question. If <strong>Fidelity</strong> decides to do this, it will credit my account within 10 business days for the amount that<br />

I think is in error, so that I will have the use of the money during the time it takes <strong>Fidelity</strong> to complete its investigation.<br />

If <strong>Fidelity</strong> asks me to put my request or question in writing <strong>and</strong> it does not receive it within 10 business days, <strong>Fidelity</strong><br />

may not credit my account. If <strong>Fidelity</strong> decides that there was no error, <strong>Fidelity</strong> will send me a written explanation within<br />

three business days after <strong>Fidelity</strong> finishes the investigation. I may ask for copies of the documents that <strong>Fidelity</strong> used in<br />

the investigation.<br />
