TigerCASH - INITIAL ACCOUNT DISCLOSURES

Electronic fund transfer services permit cardholders and others to transfer funds without the use of cash or checks. TigerCASH is a debit card service using your Tiger Card (LSU ID) to provide a fast, safe and convenient way to make purchases (via electronic funds transfers) from cardholder accounts at many locations throughout the Louisiana State University ("University") campus and at some off-campus locations. Cash cannot be withdrawn from TigerCASH accounts. The Electronic Fund Transfer Act of 1978 (the Act) protects cardholders in their use of Electronic Fund Transfer services. Described herein are important notices regarding cardholder rights under the Act and your agreement with the University. Please retain this disclosure for future reference.

Telephone (225) 578-4300, website (www.tigercard.lsu.edu) and email (tigercard@lsu.edu) are the best ways to report and keep possible losses down. If cardholder notifies TCO of lost/stolen card within two business days, the cardholder will be responsible for no more than $50.00 of unauthorized/fraudulent charges that occur before notice to the University. If cardholder does not notify TCO within two business days of learning of lost/stolen card and TCO can show that notification would have prevented misuse of card, cardholder may be responsible for up to $500.00 of unauthorized/fraudulent charges. If the cardholder statement indicates transfers the cardholder did not authorize, cardholder must notify TCO at once. See IX. IN CASE OF ERRORS OR QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR ELECTRONIC TRANSFERS
