| Q. |
Can I allow others to use my CHARGE program?

| A. |
No. For security reasons, you must be present when the ID is used. You can, however, purchase meals for others with your CHARGE, as long as you are present at the time the purchase is made.

| Q. |
What if I lose my ID?
|
| A. |
Because only you will be allowed to use the ID to make a CHARGE purchase, there should be no risk to you. However, for your protection, you should immediately call the HawkCard Office to notify them that your ID has been lost and request a new ID. Their phone is 567.8975. You will not be held responsible for charges made after you notify the card office of your lost ID.
