Ownership and Cancellation of the Credit Card

The credit card remains property of the issuing company. It may not be transferred to,
assigned to, or used by anyone other than an authorized user of the Village. Users of the
credit card are accountable for the activity on the card. The issuer or the Village may
suspend or cancel user privileges at any time for any reason. If the user is in possession
of a card, the user will surrender the credit card upon request to the Treasurer or to any
authorized agent of the issuer.

Receipts

It is the responsibility of each credit card user to obtain transaction receipts from the
merchant each time the credit card is used, including telephone and internet charges.
These are to be immediately forwarded to the Treasurer for review and ensure eligibility
for payment. Failure to provide the required documentation for payment processing may
subject the user to loss of credit card privileges and may cause the amount charged to
be classified as a personal purchase by the card user.

Failure to provide receipts and allow for timely payment of the credit card purchase will
also subject the purchasing department to finance charges on the charge.

Disputed Items

It is each  user’s  responsibility  to follow-up  on  any  erroneous  charges,  returns  or
adjustments to ensure proper credit is given on subsequent statements.

Safeguarding an Issued Credit Card

An issued credit card or card account number should always be treated with utmost care
and should be kept in a secure location and protected from misuse by unauthorized users.
When using the credit card for internet purchases, users should ensure that the site
utilizes industry recognized encryption transmission tools.
