If you send Stillman a properly executed e-mail message, it is agreed that we will have received the e-mail message on the following business day.

This includes a response to your notification to Stillman regarding unauthorized use of your ID and PIN. E-mail will be considered received by you after 3 days from the date Stillman sent the e-mail to you regardless if you sign on or use your Internet Service during that period. E-mail will be sent to the e-mail address on record, which you provide when accessing Stillman Online. You are responsible for notifying us immediately if you change your e-mail address.

YOUR LIABILITY
You are liable for all transactions that you or anyone that you give access performs, even if such person exceeds your authority. If you have given someone your Stillman Online ID and PIN or other means of access and want to terminate that person’s authority, you must change your password or other means of access or notify Stillman to prevent further access by such person. Any transfer initiated by someone to whom you have furnished your ID and PIN is considered authorized until you change your ID and PIN and have not furnished the new ID and PIN to unauthorized users. If you notify Stillman within two (2) business days after learning of the loss or theft of your ID and PIN, you can lose no more than $50.00 for the unauthorized use of your ID and PIN. If you fail to notify us within two (2) business days after you learn of the loss or theft of your ID and PIN, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using your ID and PIN if you had notified us promptly, you may be liable to Stillman for as much as $500.00. Also, you must report to Stillman an unauthorized transaction that appears on your periodic statement within sixty (60) days after the statement was mailed to you to avoid liability for subsequent unauthorized transfers. If you fail to notify us within such sixty (60) day period, you may be liable to Stillman for the amount of the unauthorized transfers or payments that occur after the close of the sixty (60) days and before notice to us if we can show that you could have stopped the unauthorized banking transaction if you had notified us in a timely manner. You agree to assist Stillman in its efforts to recover any funds that were transferred or paid without your permission or consent or otherwise authorized.
