cancel your Account  within 30 days after receiving a Card.  
 
Permitted Use s, Credit Authorizations, and Credit Limit:  You may use you r Account for Purchases. At our discretion we 
may also allow you to use it for Cash Advances and Balance Transfers. You may not use it for illegal transactions. We will 
tell you your credit limit.  Part of your credit limit may be available for Cash Advance s. We may change your credit limit , 
including any limits for Cash Advances and Balance Transfers,  at any time, without notice. Keep your Account balance 
below your credit limit. If you do not, you must still pay us.  We may delay increasing your available c redit by the amount of 
any payment that we receive for up to 12 calendar days.  We may decline to authorize a transaction based on your credit

refuses your Card.  
 
 3 
 Authorized Users : You may request additional Cards for Authorized Users to make transactions on your Account. You 
must notify us if you wish to cancel the authority of an Authorized User to use your Account. We may reque st information 
about the person to whom you want us to issue the Card and reserve the right to deny your request for an Authorized User 
Card. You are responsible for all transactions made by any Authorized User.  
 
Joint Accounts : If your Account is a Joint Account , each of you agrees to be liable individually and jointly for the entire 
amount owed on the Account, and any notice we mail to an address provided by either of you for the Account will serve as 
notice to both of you.  
  
Overdraft Transfer Servi ce: If you established Overdraft Transfer Service for one or more of your Credit Union checking 
accounts, you can designate your Account as a protecting account to help prevent the protected checking account from 
incurring NSF fees or becoming overdrawn. O verdraft transfers  are processed after close of business Monday through 
Friday and are treated as Cash Advances. Overdraft transfers are made in $50 increments up to the amount available for 
overdraft transfer. If the amount available in your Account for o verdraft transfer is less than $50, but sufficient to cover at 
least one item posting to the checking account, all funds available f or transfer in the Account (in whole dollars) are 
transferred. We may suspend your access to the Overdraft Transfer Service if your Account is 30 or more days past due, 
and access will not resume until the Account is current.  Rates and methods of computation are the same as for other Cash 
Advances.  
 
Foreign Currency Conversion: If a transaction is made in a foreign currency, the transaction will be converted by Visa 
International into a U.S. dollar amount in accordance with Visa�s operating regulations or conversion procedures in effect at  
the time the transaction is processed. The currency conversion rate in effect on the processing date may differ from the rate 
in effect on the transaction date or posting date.  
 
 
FEES  
 
Late Fee : If you do not pay at least the Minimum Payment Due by the 5th calendar day after the Payment Due Date, we 
charge a Late Fee of the maximum  dollar amount shown in the Pricing Schedule  or the amount of the Minimum Payment 
Due, whichever is less . 
 
Returned Payment Fee : If you make a payment on your Account that is not honored by your financial institution or cannot 
be processed, we charge a Returned Payment Fee even if the payment is honored after we re -submit it. The fee is the 
maximum dollar amount shown in the Pricin g Schedule  or the amount of the Minimum Payment Due that was due 
immediately prior to the date on which the payment was returned to us , whichever is less .  
 
International Transaction Fee : Visa applies a fee to any International Transaction. The fee is 1% o f the U.S. dollar amount 
of the International Transaction. A Purchase or Cash Advance is an International Transaction if it is (1) made in a foreign 
currency or (2) made or processed outside of the United States. For example, a Purchase is an International  Transaction if 
it is made online with a merchant that processes the transaction in a foreign country, even if the transaction is made in U.S. 
dollars. Two separate entries will appear on your statement: one for the International Transaction and one for th e 
International Transaction fee.  
 
Rush Delivery Fee: The fee for rush delivery of a Card is  $15. 
 
Document Research Fee: If you request a copy of a document for any purpose other than to resolve a dispute about the 
charges on your Account, we charge a fee  of $1 per document.  
 
Stop Payment Fee: We charge an $8 fee to impose a stop payment on a recurring charge that you authorized.  
 
ATM Cash Advance Fee: We charge a $0.75 fee for each transaction that you make with your Card at an ATM.  If you use 
an ATM tha t is not a CashPoints(R) ATM, the owner of the ATM  may also charge you a fee.  
 
 
MAKING PAYMENTS  
 
Payment Instructions:  You must pay in U.S. dollars. Please do not mail cash. All checks must be drawn on funds on 
deposit in the U.S. You must pay us for all amounts due on your Account. This includes charges made by Authorized Users.  4 
 We may refuse to accept payment in foreign currency. If we do accept it, we will charge your Account our cost to convert it 
to U.S. dollars. We can accept late payments, partial p ayments or payments marked �payment in full� or with any 
other restrictive endorsement without losing any of our rights under this Agreement. We credit your payments in 
accordance with the terms contained on your billing statement. If you mail your payment  to an address other than the 
address designated on your billing statement, there may be a delay in processing and crediting the payment to your Account. 
If a third party makes a payment on your Account and we return all or a part of such payment, then we may adjust your 
Account for any amount returned. We reserve the right to defend ourselves against any demand to return funds we have 
received and may agree to a compromise of the demanded amount as part of a settlement.  
 
Minimum Payment Due:  You may pay th e entire New Balance shown on your billing statement at any time. Each billing 
period you must pay at least the Minimum Payment Due by the Payment Due Date shown on your billing statement. The 
Minimum Payment Due is the greater of:   
� $25 (or the New Bala nce if it is less than $25); or  
� 1% of the New Balance shown on your billing statement  (which calculation is rounded down to the nearest dollar) , 
plus any billed interest and any billed late fee.    
The Minimum Payment Due also includes any amount past due. However, it will never exceed the New Balance.  
 
Pay-Ahead Program: The Minimum Payment Due, as calculated above, is your Regular Minimum Payment. If your Account 
is eligible for our Pay -Ahead Prog ram, whenever you pay more than the Regular Minimum Payment, we may, at our option, 
permit you to skip some or all of your next Regular Minimum Payment. When this occurs, the amount of the Minimum 
Payment Due displayed on the first page of your billing sta tement, online (including on Online Access or Mobile Access), 
and on our phone systems is reduced by the amount you may skip.  In the Payment Information table on your billing 
statement, however, the full Regular Minimum Payment amount is used to calculate the time and total payments required 
to pay off the balance if only the minimum payment is paid each month.  To reduce your interest costs, pay more than the 
required Minimum Payment each month. Remember, interest charges continue to accrue in accordance wi th the terms of 
this Agreement until your Account is paid in full.  
 
How We Apply Payments:  We apply payments and credits at our discretion, including in a manner most favorable to or 
convenient for us. In all cases, we will apply payments and credits as re quired by applicable law. Each billing period, we 
generally apply amounts you pay that exceed the Minimum Payment Due to balances with higher APRs before balances 
with lower APRs.  
 
 
INTEREST CHARGES  
 
ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATES  (�APRs�) (See the Pricing Sche dule for the APRs that apply to your Account) :  
 
Variable APRs: The Pricing Schedule may include variable APRs. These APRs are determined by adding the number of 
percentage points that we specify to the Treasury Bill Rate. Variable APRs will increase or decrease when the Treasury Bill 
Rate changes. The APR change will tak e effect on the first day of the billing period that begins in January, April, July, or 
October if the Treasury Bill Rate changes that month. An increase in the APR will increase your interest charges and may 
increase your Minimum Payment Due. The increase d APR will apply to any balance outstanding on the effective date of the 
change as well as to future transactions . The APR will not exceed 18%  per year or the maximum permitted by applicable 
state law, whichever is lower.  
 
How We Calculate Interest Charge s � Average Daily Balance Method (including current transactions): We calculate 
interest charges each billing period by first figuring the �average daily balance� for each Transaction Category. Transaction  
Categories include Purchases  that are not subject to a promotional rate,  Cash Advances  that are not subject to a promotional 
rate, and different promotional balances. Balance Transfers, unless subject to a promotional rate, are included in the 
Transaction Category  of Purchases  that are not subject to a pr omotional rate .  
 
How We Determine the Average Daily Balance for Each Transaction Category: We start with the beginning balance 
each day. The beginning balance for the first day of the billing period is your balance on the last day of the previous billi ng 
period, minus any unpaid interest or fees. We add any new transactions as of the later of the Transaction Date or the first 
day of the billing period in which the transaction posted to your Account. (The Transaction Date for a Balance Transfer 
made using a  cashier�s check is the day we create the check, not the day it is deposited by the recipient of the check, or 
the day they credit it to your account with them.) We subtract any new credits and payments. We make other adjustments 
(including those adjustmen ts required in the �Paying Interest� section). This gives us the daily balance for that day. We add  5 
 all the daily balances for the billing period and divide by the number of days in the billing period. This gives us the avera ge 
daily balance for that Trans action Category.   
 
How We Figure Your Total Interest Charges and the New Balance on Your  Account: We multiply the average daily 
balance for each Transaction Category by its monthly periodic rate. To get a monthly periodic rate, we divide the APR that 
applies to the Transaction Category by 12. The total interest for the billing period is the sum of the interest charges for each 
Transaction Category. The New Balance on your Account is the total amount you owe us at the end of the Billing Period 
and includes any unpaid interest charges and fees.   
 
Paying Interest: We begin to impose interest charges on a transaction from the day we add it to the daily balance. We 
continue to impose interest charges until you pay the total amount you owe us. You can avoid payi ng interest on Purchases  
and Balance Transfers as described below. However, you cannot avoid paying interest on Cash Advances.  
 
How to Avoid Paying Interest on Purchases and Balance Transfers (�Grace Period�):  You will not have to pay interest 
on Purchases and Balance Transfers made in the current billing cycle if you pay the entire New Balance for the prior billing 
cycle by the Payment Due Date in the current billing cycle.   
 
  
OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION  
 
Changes to Your Agreement: The rates, fees and terms of this Agreement may change from time to time. We may add

ARBITRATION  
 
THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION WILL NOT APPLY TO YOU IF YOU ARE COVERED BY THE FEDERAL MILITARY 
LENDING ACT EITHER AS A MEMBER OF THE ARMED FORCES OR AS A DEPENDENT OF SUCH MEMBER . THE 
NEXT SECTION OF THIS AGREEMENT WILL PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE MILI TARY LENDING ACT .  7 
 YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OPT OUT OF (NOT BE BOUND BY) THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION AS DESCRIBED IN 
SUBPART � D� BELOW. If you do not opt out and a Claim, as defined in subpart � E� below, is arbitrated, neither 
you nor we will have the right to:  (1) have a court or a jury decide the Claim; ( 2) engage in information -gathering 
(discovery) to the same extent as in court; ( 3) participate in a class action, private attorney general action or other 
representative action in court or in arbitration; or ( 4) unless all parties otherwise agree in writing, join or consolidate 
a Claim with claims of any other person or entity.  
 
A. General:  This Arbitration Provision describes when and how a Claim (as defined in subpart � E� below) may be 
arbitrated. Arbitratio n is a method of resolving disputes in front of one or more neutral persons (the �arbitrator�) instead of 
having a trial in court in front of a judge and/or jury. It can be a quicker and simpler way to resolve disputes. Arbitration  
proceedings are private and less formal than court trials. Each party to the dispute has an opportunity to present some 
evidence to the arbitrator. The arbitrator will issue a final and binding decision resolving the dispute (the �award�), which  
may be enforced as a court judgmen t. A court rarely overturns an arbitrator�s decision.  
 
B. Governing Law:  This Arbitration Provision is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. �� 1 -16 (the �FAA�), 
and not by any state arbitration law.  
 
C. Special Definitions:  Solely for purposes of this Arbitration Provision , �we,� �us,� and � our� mean ( 1) Latino 
Community  Credit Union, each of its subsidiaries, affiliates, successors and assigns, and any of their employees, officers, 
directors and agents ; (2) any servicer of your Account; and  (3) any other third party that you name along with us as 
defendants in a single proceeding.    
 
D. Opt-Out Process:  If you do not want this Arbitration Provision to apply, you may reject it by mailing us a written 
opt-out notice which spec ifies your name and address, identifies the applicable Account (s) , and includes a signed statement 
that you opt out of the Arbitration Provision. The opt -out notice must be signed by you  and sent to us by mail (not 
electronically) at Credit Union, Attn: A RBITRATION, P.O. Box 28327, Raleigh, NC 27611. You should retain a copy of your  
opt-out notice and evidence of mailing.   
 
Any opt-out notice is effective only if it complies with the preceding requirements  and is postmarked within thirty 
(30) days after the date you first accept ed your  Account .    
 
This is the only way you can opt out of the Arbitration Provision. Your decision to opt out will not have any other effect on  
your Agreement or your Account with  us. If you don�t reject this Arbitration Provision , it will be effective as of the date you 
first accepted your Account . If an Account is jointly owned , one owner�s  rejection of th is Arbitration Provision will be deemed 
to be a rejection by all joint owners . In all other circumstances, your rejection of this Arbitration Provision will not be deemed 
to be a rejection of this Arbitration Provision by any person or entity other than you.  If you have more than one  Account with 
us, and wish to opt out of the Arbitration Provision for multiple Accounts, and are still within the 30 -day time period for opting 
out of the Arbitration Provision for said Accounts, please include in your written op t out notice each Account  for which  you 
wish to opt out of  the Arbitration Provision . In all other circumstances, your  decision to opt out of the Arbitration Provision 
applies only to this Account and not to any other Accounts you have with us. Moreover, w e offer a number of different 
products and services to our customers. If you opt out of arbitration for this Agreement, that will not affect any arbitratio n 
provision that may exist between you and us, now or in the future, in connection with other product s or services you obtain 
from us; any such arbitration provision will remain in force unless you separately opt out of it in accordance with its terms . 
For example, if you also have a deposit or share account with us, opting out of this Arbitration Provisi on will not constitute 
an opt out of any arbitration provision that may apply to the deposit or share account.  
 
E. Disputes Subject to Arbitration:  You or we may elect to have �Claims� arbitrated rather than resolved in court.  
The term  �Claim� means any past, present or future claim, dispute or controversy between you and us that in any way arises 
from or relates to your Agreement  or your Account.  �Claim� has the broadest reasonable meaning and includes, without 
limitation: (1) initial claims, counterclaims, cross -claims and third -party claims; (2) disputes based upon contract, negligence, 
fraud and other intentional torts, constitution, statute, regulation, ordinance, common law and equity; ( 3) data breach or 
privacy claims arising from  or relating directly or indirectly to our disclosure of any non -public personal information about 
you; ( 4) disputes concerning your application or other information you gave us before opening your Account;  (5) any 
Account(s) you previously had with us; (6 ) disputes arising from or related to  products or services provided by or purchased 
or obtained from us  in connection with your Account; (7) disputes arising from or related to  any transactions  in connection 
with your Account; (8 ) disputes arising from or related to  any advice, recommendations, solicitations, communications, 
disclosures, promotions or  advertisements concerning your Account ; (9) claims brought in a direct, derivative, assignee, 
survivor, successor, b eneficiary or personal capacity; (10) disputes concerning your Card , disclosures, finance charges,  8 
 late charges, purchases, payments, insurance, security, collections, default, credit transactions, fees, cash advances, 
balance transfers, overdraft charges, foreign currency conversions, repossession or the collection of monies owed and the 
manner of collection ; and (11) disputes arising from or related to  the relationship (s) between you and us resulting from any 
of the foregoing.  Claims are subject to arbitration even if they arise out of  or relate to actions, omissions , transactions,  facts, 
or conduct that occurred prior to the date of this Agreement. However, this Arbitration Provision will not apply to any Claim 
that was already pending in court before this Arbitration Provision took ef fect.   
 
F. Disputes Not Subject to Arbitration: Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following disputes are not required to be 
arbitrated:  (1) disputes that are within the jurisdiction of a small claims court (or an equivalent court) . You or we may bring 
an action in small claims court or, if an arbitration demand has been made, instruct the arbitration administrator to close t he 
case because the dispute should be decided by a small claims court. However, if the dispute is transferred,  removed, or 
appealed from small claims court to a different court, you or we may elect to compel arbitration. Moreover, if you or we brin g 
a counterclaim or cross -claim that is for more than the small claims court�s jurisdiction, the entire dispute must, if you or we 
choose, be resolved by arbitration; and ( 2) disputes about the validity, enforceability, coverage or scope of this Arbitration 
Provision or any part thereof (including, without limitation, the Class Action Waiver), which are for a court and no t an 
arbitrator to decide. However, any dispute or argument that concerns the validity or enforceability of  your Agreement as a 
whole is for the arbitrator, not a court, to decide .   
 
In addition, this Arbitration Provision does not prohibit you or us, at any time, from ( 1) exercising any lawful rights to preserve 
or obtain possession of property or self -help remedies, including but not limited to, the right to set -off or exercise a statutory 
lien or other lien granted by law or rule , the right to restrain funds in an account, recoupment, repossession, replevin or 
trustee�s sales; ( 2) obtaining provisional or ancillary remedies or injunctive relief (other than a stay of arbitration), including 
but not limited to attachment, garnishment, interpleader or the appointment of a receiver by a court of  appropriate 
jurisdiction; or (3 ) bringing an individual action in court that is limited to preventing the other party from using a self -help or 
non-judicial remedy and that does not involve a requ est for damages or monetary relief of any kind.  
 
G. Starting or Electing Arbitration:  You or we may start an arbitration by filing a demand with the arbitration 
administrator pursuant to the administrator�s  rules. You or we may also require arbitration of a Claim filed in court by filing 
a motion with the court to compel arbitration of the Claim. Even if you and we have chosen to litigate a Claim in court, eith er 
party may elect arbitration of a new Claim or of a Claim made by a new party in that or any rel ated or unrelated lawsuit.  
 
H. Choosing the Administrator:  The party who commences the arbitration may select either of the following 
arbitration organizations to administer the arbitration under their rules that apply to consumer disputes: the American 
Arbitration Association (�AAA�), 120 Broadway, Floor 21, New York, NY 10271 (1 -800-778-7879), www.adr.org; or JAMS, 
1920 Main St. at Gillette Ave., Suite 300, Irvine, CA 92614 (1-800-352-5267) , www.jamsadr .com. You can obtain a copy of 
the administrators�  rules by visiting their websites or calling them. The parties may also mutually agree to select an arbitrator 
who is an attorney, retired judge or arbitrator registered and in good standing with a bona fide arbitration association and 
arbitrate pursuant to the arbitrator�s rules. If AAA and JAMS cannot or will not serve , and the parties are unable to select an 
arbitrator by mutual consent, a court with jurisdiction will select the administrator or arbitrator, who must agree to abide by 
all of the terms of th is Arbitration Provision (including, without limitation, the Class Action Waiver) . Any arbitrator must be a 
practicing attorney with ten or more years of experience practicing law or a retired judge. If a party files a lawsuit in cou rt 
asserting Claim(s) t hat are subject to arbitration and the other party files a motion to compel arbitration with the court which 
is granted, it will be the responsibility of the party prosecuting the Claim(s) to select an arbitration administrator in acc ordance 
with this para graph and commence the arbitration proceeding in accordance with the administrator�s rules and procedures.  
 
I. Jury Trial Waiver:  IF YOU OR WE ELECT TO ARBITRATE A CLAIM, YOU AND WE WILL NOT HAVE THE 
RIGHT TO PURSUE THAT CLAIM IN COURT OR HAVE A JURY DECID E THE CLAIM.   
 
J. Class Action Waiver:  ANY ARBITRATION MUST BE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY. THIS MEANS THAT 
IF YOU OR WE ELECT TO ARBITRATE A CLAIM, NEITHER YOU NOR WE WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO : (1) 
PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION  IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION, 
EITHER AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS MEMBER OR OTHERWISE; OR ( 2) ACT AS A PRIVATE 
ATTORNEY GENERAL IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION. ALSO,  ABSENT THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL 
PARTIES, NEITHER YOU NOR WE WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO JOIN O R CONSOLIDATE A CLAIM WITH CLAIMS OF 
ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY.  An arbitration award shall determine the rights and obligations of the named parties 
only, and only with respect to the Claim(s) in arbitration. No arbitration administrator or arbitrator sha ll have the power or 
authority to waive or modify this section, and any attempt to do so, whether by rule, policy, arbitration decision or otherwi se, 
shall be invalid and unenforceable.   9 
  
K. Location and Costs of Arbitration:  Any arbitration hearing that you attend in person must take place at a location 
reasonably convenient to the parties or as otherwise agreed to by the parties or ordered by the arbitrator. Each administrato r 
charges filing and administrative fees and the a rbitrator also charges fees. The parties shall pay said fees in accordance 
with the administrator�s rules. However, if you tell us in writing that you cannot afford to pay the fees charged by the 
arbitration organization and that you were unable to obtain a waiver of fees from the administrator, and if your request is 
reasonable and in good faith, we will pay or reimburse you for all or part of the fees charged to you by the arbitration 
organization and/or arbitrator. The parties shall also bear the fees an d expenses of their own attorneys, experts and 
witnesses unless otherwise required by applicable law, your Agreement or the administrator�s rules.  If we prevail in an 
individual arbitration that either you or we commenced, we will not seek to recover our a ttorney, expert or witness fees or 
our arbitration fees from you. Notwithstanding the foregoing, i f the arbitrator determines that any party�s claim or defense is 
frivolous or wrongfully intended  to oppress or harass the other party, the arbitrator may awa rd sanctions in the form of fees 
and expenses reasonably incurred by the other party if such sanctions could be imposed under Rule 11 of the Federal Rule s 
of Civil Procedure.  
 
L. Law Applied by the Arbitrator : The arbitrator must apply applicable substanti ve law consistent with the FAA and 
applicable statutes of limitations and claims of privilege recognized at law. The arbitrator is authorized to award all remed ies 
permitted by the substantive law that would apply in an individual court action, including, without limitation, punitive damages 
(which shall be governed by the Constitutional standards employed by the courts) and injunctive, equitable and declaratory 
relief (but only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessar y to provide relief warranted by 
that party�s individual Claim ). Any finding, award or judgment from an arbitration of any Claim shall apply only to that 
arbitration. No finding, award or judgment from any other arbitration shall impact the arbitration of any Claim.  
M. Right to Discovery:  In addition to the parties� rights to obtain discovery pursuant to the arbitration rules of the 
administrator, either party may submit a written request to the arbitrator to expand the scope of discovery normally allowabl e 
under the arbitration rules of the administrator. The arbitrator shall have discretion to grant or deny that request.  
 
N. Arbitration Award and Right of Appeal:  At the timely request of either party, the arbitrator shall provide a written 
explanation for the award. However, if the amount in controversy exceeds $50,000, you or we can, within 15 days after the 
entry of the award by the arbitrator, appeal the award to a three -arbitrator panel administered by the administrator. The 
panel shall reconsider anew any aspect of the initial award requested by the appealing party. The decision of the panel shall 
be by majority vote. Reference in this Arbitration Provision to �the arbitrator� shall mean the panel if an appeal of the 
arbitrator�s decision has been taken . The costs of such an appeal will be borne in accordance with the paragraph above 
titled �Location and Costs of Arbitration.� The original award or any subsequent award on the appeal described above shall 
be final and binding, subject to any further appea l rights under the FAA, and may be entered as a judgment by any court 
having jurisdiction.  
 
O. Rules of Interpretation:  This Arbitration Provision is binding upon and benefits you, your respective heirs, 
successors and assigns, and us and our respective su ccessors and assigns. This Arbitration Provision shall survive ( 1) the 
repayment of amounts owed under your Agreement ; (2) any legal proceeding ; (3) any sale, assignment or transfer of your 
Account ; (4) any bankruptcy to the extent consistent with applicable bankruptcy law ; (5) any default, breach or repossession; 
(6) any termination, cancellation,  closure,  suspension or non -renewal of your Agreement, your Account  or credit privileges ; 
and ( 7) any termination, amendment, expiration or performance of  any transaction between you and us. In the event of a 
conflict or inconsistency between this Arbitration Provision, on the one hand, and the applicable arbitration rules or the ot her 
terms of your Agreement, on the other hand, this Arbitration Provision s hall govern . Any changes to this Arbitration Provision 
will apply only prospectively unless we give you a right to opt out of the change or the entire Arbitration Provision.   
 
P. Severability:  If any portion of this Arbitration Provision is held to be inva lid or unenforceable, the remaining portions 
shall nevertheless remain in force, subject to two exceptions: ( 1) if a determination is made that the Class Action Waiver is 
unenforceable, and that determination is not reversed on appeal, then the Arbitration  Provision (except for this sentence) 
shall be void in its entirety; and ( 2) if a court determines that a public injunctive relief Claim may proceed notwithstanding 
the Class Action Waiver, and that determination is not reversed on appeal, then the public injunctive relief Claim will be 
decided by a court, any individual Claims will be arbitrated, and the parties will ask the court to stay the public injunctiv e 
relief Claim until the other Claims have been finally concluded.  
 
Q. Notice and Cure : Prior to in itiating a lawsuit or an arbitration proceeding under this Arbitration Provision, you or 
we, as applicable,  shall give the other party written notice of the Claim (a �Claim Notice�) and a reasonable opportunity, not 
less than 30 days, to resolve the Claim.  Any Claim Notice to you shall be sent in writing by mail to the address you provided  10 
 in connection with your Account (or any updated address you subsequently provide) . Any Claim Notice to us shall be sent 
by mail to Credit Union, Attn: CLAIM NOTICE, P.O. Box 28327, Raleigh, NC 27611  (or any updated address we 
subsequently provide) . Any Claim Notice you send must include your name, address , and information sufficient to identify 
your Account and explain the nature of the Claim and the relief demanded. You m ay only submit a Claim Notice on your 
own behalf and not on behalf of any other party. The party giving a Claim Notice  must reasonably cooperate in providing 
any information about the Claim that the other party reasonably requests.

of a service member on activity  duty at the time an arbitration demand could be asserted.
