Each negotiated share draft will be charged to the Share Draft Account as of the date of receipt by HEWFCU. 

    HEWFCU is authorized to pay a share draft, which exceeds the share balance in the Share Draft Account by transferring the amount of the resulting overdraft from any other Share Account from which the person (s) who signed the Combined Application is/are entitled to withdraw shares. Overdraft privileges in the form of pre-authorized or telephone transfers from regular shares must be restricted to no more than six per month (Federal Regulation D).

HEWFCU is under no obligation to pay a share draft on which the date is more than six (6) months old. Except for negligence, HEWFCU is not liable for any action it takes regarding the payment or nonpayment of a share draft. A share draft payment may be stopped by providing notification to HEWFCU in such form as HEWFCU may establish. A service charge in an amount established by HEWFCU may be assessed for each stop payment request. Stop payment requests will be valid for a 6 month time frame. Paid share drafts will not be returned by HEWFCU; you may request a copy of paid share drafts. 

    A service charge in an amount established by HEWFCU may be assessed for each copy provided. Any objection respecting any item shown on a statement of Share Draft Account shall be waived unless made in writing to HEWFCU on or before the thirtieth (30) day following the day that the statement is mailed. The Share Draft Account shall be subject to service charges in accordance with the rate schedule adopted by HEWFCU from time to time. All non-cash share purchases or payments received into the Share Draft Account will be credited subject to final payment. The use of the Share Draft Account is subject to other such terms, conditions, or requirements as HEWFCU may establish from time to time. 

    HEWFCU reserves the right to terminate this agreement or change items, conditions or rates at any time upon forwarding written notice. If signed by more than one person, this agreement is subject to the additional terms and conditions of any joint share account agreement that applies to a share account in joint names; or if there is no such agreement, this agreement is subject to the additional terms and conditions (Joint Share Account Agreement).
