IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT OPENING AN ACCOUNT 
To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. What this means for you: When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth or other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver�s license or other identifying documents. The Ohio laws against discrimination require that all creditors make credit equally available to all creditworthy customers, and that credit reporting agencies maintain separate credit histories on each individual upon request. The Ohio Civil Rights Commission administers compliance with this law. California Residents:If you are married, you may apply for a separate account. New York Residents: A consumer credit report may be ordered in connection with the processing of an application, or subsequently with the update, renewal or extension of credit. Upon your request, you will be informed of whether or not a consumer credit report was ordered, and if it was, you will be given the name and address of the consumer-reporting agency that furnished the report. Rhode Island and Vermont Residents:A consumer credit report may be ordered in connection with the processing of an application, or subsequently for purposes of review or collection of the account, increasing the credit line on the account, or other legitimate purposes associated with the account. Wisconsin Residents: No provision of any marital property agreement, unilateral statement under Section 766.59 of the Wisconsin statutes or court order under Section 766.70 adversely affects the interest of the creditor, Comenity Bank, unless the Bank, prior to the time credit is granted is furnished a copy of the agreement, statement or decree or has actual knowledge of the adverse provision when the obligation to the Bank is incurred.

Credit limit 

Your Credit Limit is the total maximum amount we permit you to owe us at any time. You may not exceed any credit limit that we set for your Account. If you do exceed your Credit Limit, we can still charge you for all purchases, Finance Charges and other charges without giving up any of our rights under this Agreement. We may change your Credit Limit at any time. 

Account cancellation 

You may cancel your Account. You�re still obligated to pay the full amount you owe us. We may cancel your Account at any time, for any reason. We may refuse to authorize any purchase on your Account. We may also suspend your Account and your right to use your Card, including each Card you give to others. We may cancel any Credit Plan at any time, for any reason. Cancellation or suspension of your Account doesn�t negate your obligation to pay any amount you owe us. Cancellation of your Account includes each Card you give to others. 

Minimum Payment 

You can pay all of your Account balance at any time without penalty. You must pay at least the Minimum Payment Due for each Billing Period by the Payment Due Date shown on your Statement. The Minimum Payment is the total of the minimum payments for the Regular Revolving and Promotional Credit Plans plus any Past Due amounts. The total Minimum Payment Due on your account won�t be less than $25.00. If your Account balance is less than $25.00, you must pay the amount indicated on your Statement in full. The Minimum Payment Due for each Credit Plan is calculated as follows: The minimum payments for Regular Revolving Credit Plans, Waive Interest, Payment Required and Defer Interest, Payment Required 

Promotional Credit Plans will be the greater of: (a) $5.00; or 
(b)5% (rounded to the nearest $1.00) of the New Balance shown on your Statement for that Credit Plan. 

The
minimum payment for the Waive Interest, Equal Payment and Defer Interest, Equal Payment Credit Plans will be the amount of the purchase divided by the number of months between the date of the purchase and the promotional period end date (minimum $5.00) rounded up to the nearest $1.00. 


The
minimum payment for the Low APR, Equal Payment Credit Plan will be the amount of the purchase including the calculated finance charges that will be assessed from the date of purchase through the end of the promotional period divided by the number of months between the date of the purchase and the promotional period end date (minimum $5.00) rounded up to the nearest $1.00. 


The
minimum payment for the Waive Interest, Low Payment and Defer Interest, Low Payment will be the greater of: (a) $5.00 or 


(b)1% (rounded to the nearest $1.00) of the New Balance shown on your Statement for that Credit Plan. 

Payment application 

We reserve the right to apply payments equal to or less than the required minimum amount however we see fit, which may result in balances subject to lower interest rates being paid prior to other balances. This may also result in higher interest charges. Any payment you make in excess of the required Minimum Payment Due will be allocated to your Account as required by applicable law. Excess payments received before a deferred interest promotion expires are applied to the deferred interest promotional balance first in the last two billing cycles of the promotional period. 


D. Interest, fees and charges Finance Charges 

If you make a purchase under a Regular Revolving Credit Plan, Finance Charges won�t be imposed in any Billing Period in which (i) no Previous Balance exists or (ii) payments received and credits issued by the Payment Due Date, which is at least 25 days after the Statement Closing Date shown on your last Statement, equal or exceed the Previous Balance. If the New Balance shown on your last Statement isn�t paid in full by the Payment Due Date shown on your last Statement, there will be a Finance Charge on each purchase from the date of purchase. If you make a purchase under any Waive Interest Promotional Credit Plan, we won�t charge Finance Charges on the purchase if you pay the total purchase amount before the end of the promotional period. If you don�t pay the total purchase amount before the end of the promotional period, we�ll add the remaining amount to your Regular Revolving balance. We�ll also begin charging Finance Charges on the purchase from the first day after the promotional period ends. If you make a purchase under any Defer Interest Promotional Credit Plan and don�t pay the total amount before the end of the promotional period, we�ll add the remaining purchase amount and the amount of accrued Finance Charges to your Regular Revolving balance. If you make a purchase under a Low APR, Equal Payment Credit Plan, Finance Charges will be assessed from the date of purchase through the end of the promotional period. 

How we calculate Finance Charges on your Account 
We calculate Finance Charges separately for each Credit Plan, using a �Daily Balance� to determine Finance Charges for each Billing Period. Our 
calculation method is as follows: We start with the beginning balance on your Account each day (including unpaid Finance Charges and fees). We subtract any payments or credit adjustments (treating any net credit balance as a zero balance) and add new purchases and debit adjustments posted as of that day. This gives us the �Partial Daily Balance� for the day. We then multiply the Partial Daily Balance for the day by the Daily Periodic Rate of Finance Charge. This gives us the �Daily Finance Charge� for the day, which we add to the day�s Partial Daily Balance. We�ve now determined the �Daily Balance,� which will be the beginning balance for the following day. This results in daily compounding of interest charges. At the end of each Billing Period, we add together each Credit Plan�s Daily Finance Charge, which gives us the total Account Finance Charge. Your Statement will show a Balance Subject to Interest Rate, which is the sum of the Daily Balance for each day in the Billing Period divided by the total number of days. 


Rates 

The Index in effect for each Billing Period will be the highest �Prime Rate� of interest as published in the �Money Rates� section of The Wall Street Journal for the calendar month preceding the month in which the Billing Period begins, rounded upward if necessary, to the nearest .001% (�Index�). An increase or decrease in the APR will result in a corresponding increase or decrease in the amount of Finance Charge and may increase the amount of your minimum payment due. 

Other fees and charges 
Youagree to pay the following fees and charges: Late Fee: If you don�t pay at least the Minimum Payment Due by the Payment Due Date, we will charge you a late fee. 

The fee is $25 if you were not charged a late fee during any of the prior six billing periods. 

Otherwise,the fee is $35. 

This
fee will never exceed the minimum payment due that was due immediately prior to the date on which the fee was assessed. Returned Payment Fee: We may charge you a fee for each payment that your bank doesn�t honor for any reason. 


The
fee is $25 if you were not charged a returned payment fee during any of the prior six billing periods. 



Otherwise,the fee is $25. 

This
fee will never exceed the minimum payment due that was due immediately prior to the date on which the fee was assessed. 


Although
 we may decide to do so, we aren�t required to attempt to collect a payment more than once. Document Fees: If we provide you with a copy of any Statement, sales draft or similar document at your request (except in connection with billing error inquiries or resolution), we may charge the Account the following fee(s): 


Statement
copy -$6.00 



Sales/CreditDraft copy -$6.00 

Check/MoneyOrder copy -$6.00 Alternative Payment Method Fee: We may offer alternative payment methods that allow you to make individual, expedited payments to your Account over the phone. If you choose to use this payment method, we may assess the current fee we charge for this service. Currently, that fee is up to $15.00 but may change. We�ll let you know the current fee before you authorize any payment(s), and you can withdraw your request if you don�t want to pay the fee. 


E.Other Important Information Collection Costs 




As permitted under applicable law, you agree to pay the reasonable costs for collecting amounts due, including reasonable attorney�s fees and court costs incurred by us or another person or entity.

What Will Happen After We Receive Your Letter 
When we receive your letter, we must do two things: 
1. 
Within 30 days of receiving your letter, we must tell you that we received your letter. We will also tell you if we have already corrected the error. 

2. 
Within 90 days of receiving your letter, we must either correct the error or explain to you why we believe the bill is correct. 


While we investigate whether or not there has been an error: We cannot try to collect the amount in question, or report you as delinquent on that amount. The charge in question may remain on your statement, and we may continue to charge you interest on that amount. While you do not have to pay the amount in question, you are responsible for the remainder of your balance. We can apply any unpaid amount against your credit limit. 

After we finish our investigation, one of two things will happen: If we made a mistake: You will not have to pay the amount in question or any interest or other fees related to that amount. If we do not believe there was a mistake: You will have to pay the amount in question, along with applicable interest and fees. We will send you a statement of the amount you owe and the date payment is due. We may then report you as delinquent if you do not pay the amount we think you owe. 

If you receive our explanation but still believe your bill is wrong, you must write to us within 10 days telling us that you still refuse to pay. If you do so, we cannot report you as delinquent without also reporting that you are questioning your bill. We must tell you the name of anyone to whom we reported you as delinquent, and we must let those organizations know when the matter has been settled between us. If we do not follow all of the rules above, you do not have to pay the first $50 of the amount you question even if your bill is correct. 
Your Rights If You Are Dissatisfied With Your Credit Card Purchases 
If you are dissatisfied with the goods or services that you have purchased with your credit card, and you have tried in good faith to correct the problem with the merchant, you may have the right not to pay the remaining amount due on the purchase. To use this right, all of the following must be true: 
1. 
The purchase must have been made in your home state or within 100 miles of your current mailing address, and the purchase price must have been more than $50. (Note: Neither of these are necessary if your purchase was based on an advertisement we mailed to you, or if we own the company that sold you the goods or services.) 

2. 
You must have used your credit card for the purchase. Purchases made with cash advances from an ATM or with a check that accesses 


your credit card account do not qualify. 
3. You must not yet have fully paid for the purchase. If all of the criteria above are met and you are still dissatisfied with the purchase, contact us in writing at: Comenity Bank PO Box 182782, Columbus, OH 43218-2782 While we investigate, the same rules apply to the disputed amount as discussed above. After we finish our investigation, we will tell you our decision. At that point, if we think you owe an amount and you do not pay, we may report you as delinquent.

A. Jury Trial Waiver TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND WE WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN THE EVENT OF A LAWSUIT ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT. THIS JURY TRIAL WAIVER SHALL NOT AFFECT THE ARBITRATION PROVISION BELOW (INCLUDING THE JURY TRIAL WAIVER CONTAINED THEREIN). YOU AND WE EACH REPRESENT THAT THIS WAIVER IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY, WILLINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY. 
B. Notice and Cure 
Prior to bringing a lawsuit or initiating an arbitration that asserts a claim arising out of or related to this Agreement (as further defined below, a �Claim�), the party asserting the Claim (the �Claimant�) shall give the other party (the �Defendant�) 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 to the address we have in our records (or any updated address you subsequently provide to us). Any Claim Notice to us shall be sent by mail to Comenity Bank, PO Box 182436, Columbus, Ohio 43218-2436 (or any updated address we subsequently provide). Any Claim Notice you send must provide your name, address and account number. Any Claim Notice must explain the nature of the Claim and the relief that is demanded. You may only submit a Claim Notice on your own behalf and not on behalf of any other party. No third party, other than a lawyer you have personally retained, may submit a Claim Notice on your behalf. The Claimant must reasonably cooperate in providing any information about the Claim that the other party reasonably requests. 

C. Arbitration Provision 
READ THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION CAREFULLY. IF YOU DO NOT REJECT THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION IN ACCORDANCE WITH PARAGRAPH C.1. BELOW, IT WILL BE PART OF THIS AGREEMENT AND WILL HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT ON THE WAY YOU OR WE WILL RESOLVE ANY CLAIM WHICH YOU OR WE HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER NOW OR IN THE FUTURE. 
1. 
Your Right to Reject: If you don�t want this Arbitration Provision (and any prior arbitration agreement between you and us (�Prior Arbitration Agreement�)) to apply, you may reject it by mailing us a written rejection notice which gives the name of each Cardholder and contains a statement that you (both of you, if more than one) reject the Arbitration Provision of this Agreement. The rejection notice must be sent to us at Comenity Bank PO Box 182422, Columbus, OH 43218-2422. A rejection notice is only effective if it is signed by you (all of you, if more than one) and if we receive it within thirty (30) calendar days after the date we first provide you with a credit card agreement or written notice providing you a right to reject this Arbitration Provision. Your rejection of this Arbitration Provision will not affect any other provision of this Agreement or your ability to obtain credit. 

2. 
Parties Subject to Arbitration: Solely as used in this Arbitration Provision (and not elsewhere in this Agreement), the terms �we,� �us� and �our� mean (a) Comenity Bank, any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of the Bank and the employees, officers and directors of such companies (the �Bank Parties�); and (b) any other person or company that provides any services in connection with this Agreement if you assert a Claim against such other person or company at the same time you assert a Claim against any Bank Party. 

3. 
Covered Claims: �Claim� means any claim, dispute or controversy between you and us that in any way arises from or relates to this Agreement, the Account, the issuance of any Card, any rewards program, any prior agreement or account. �Claim� includes disputes arising from actions or omissions prior to the date any Card was issued to you, including the advertising related to, application for or approval of the Account. �Claim� has the broadest possible meaning, and includes initial claims, counterclaims, cross-claims and third-party claims. It includes disputes based upon contract, tort, consumer rights, fraud and other intentional torts, constitution, statute, regulation, ordinance, common law and equity (including any claim for injunctive or declaratory relief). �Claim� does not include disputes about the validity, enforceability, coverage or scope of this Arbitration Provision or any part thereof (including, without limitation, the prohibition against class proceedings, private attorney general proceedings and/or multiple party proceedings described in Paragraph C.7 (the �Class Action Waiver�), the last sentence of Paragraph C.13 and/or this sentence); all such disputes are for a court and not an arbitrator to decide. However, any dispute or argument that concerns the validity or enforceability of the Agreement as a whole is for the arbitrator, not a court, to decide. 

4. 
Starting an Arbitration: Arbitration may be elected by any party with respect to any Claim, even if that party has already initiated a lawsuit with respect to a different Claim. Arbitration is started by giving a written demand for arbitration to the other party. We will not demand to arbitrate an individual Claim that you bring against us in small claims court or your state�s equivalent court, if any. But if that Claim is transferred, removed or appealed to a different court, we then have the right to demand arbitration. 

5. 
Choosing the Administrator: �Administrator� means the American Arbitration Association (�AAA�), 1633 Broadway, 10th Floor, New York, NY 10019, www.adr.org; JAMS is at 620 Eighth Avenue, 34th Floor, New York, NY 10018, www.jamsadr.com; or any other company selected by mutual agreement of the parties. If both AAA and JAMS cannot or will not serve and the parties are unable to select an Administrator by mutual consent, the Administrator will be selected by a court. The arbitrator will be appointed by the Administrator in accordance with the rules of the Administrator. However, the arbitrator must be a retired or former judge or a lawyer with at least 10 years of experience. You get to select the Administrator if you give us written notice of your selection with your notice that you are electing to arbitrate any Claim or within 20 days after we give you notice that we are electing to arbitrate any Claim (or, if you dispute our right to require arbitration of the Claim, within 20 days after that dispute is finally resolved). If you do not select the Administrator on time, we may do it. Notwithstanding any language in this Arbitration Provision to the contrary, no arbitration may be administered, without the consent of all parties to the arbitration, by any Administrator that has in place a formal or informal policy that is inconsistent with the Class Action Waiver. 

6. 
Court and Jury Trials Prohibited; Other Limitations on Legal Rights: IF YOU OR WE ELECT TO ARBITRATE A CLAIM, YOU WILL NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO PURSUE THAT CLAIM IN COURT OR HAVE A JURY DECIDE THE CLAIM. ALSO, YOUR ABILITY TO OBTAIN INFORMATION FROM US IS MORE LIMITED IN AN ARBITRATION THAN IN A LAWSUIT. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT MAY ALSO NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION. 

7. 
Prohibition Against Certain Proceedings: IF YOU OR WE ELECT TO ARBITRATE A CLAIM: (1) NEITHER YOU NOR WE MAY PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION IN COURT OR IN CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION, EITHER AS A PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR CLASS MEMBER; (2) NEITHER YOU NOR WE MAY ACT AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION; (3) CLAIMS BROUGHT BY OR AGAINST YOU MAY NOT BE JOINED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH CLAIMS BROUGHT BY OR AGAINST ANY OTHER PERSON; AND (4) THE ARBITRATOR SHALL HAVE NO POWER OR AUTHORITY TO CONDUCT A CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ARBITRATION OR MULTIPLE-PARTY ARBITRATION. 

8. 
Location and Costs of Arbitration: Any arbitration hearing that you attend must take place at a location reasonably convenient to you. We will pay any and all fees of the Administrator and/or the arbitrator if applicable law requires us to, if you prevail in the arbitration or if we must bear such fees in order for this Arbitration Provision to be enforced. If you demand an arbitration, we will pay your reasonable attorneys� and experts� fees if you prevail or if we must bear such fees in order for this Arbitration Provision to be enforced. Also, we will bear any fees if applicable law requires us to. 

9. 
Governing Law: This Arbitration Provision involves interstate commerce and is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. �� 1-16 (the �FAA�), and not by any state arbitration law. The arbitrator must apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations and claims of privilege recognized at law. The arbitrator may award any remedy provided by the substantive law that would apply if the action were pending in court (including, without limitation, punitive damages, which shall be governed by the Constitutional standards employed by the courts). At the timely request of either party, the arbitrator must provide a brief written explanation of the basis for the award. 

10. 
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 allowable under the arbitration rules of the Administrator. The arbitrator shall have discretion to grant or deny that request. 

11. 
Arbitration Result and Right of Appeal: Judgment upon the arbitrator�s award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction. The arbitrator�s decision is final and binding, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA. However, if the amount of the Claim exceeds $50,000 or involves a request for injunctive or declaratory relief that could foreseeably involve a cost or benefit to either party exceeding $50,000, any party can, within 30 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 Paragraph C.8. above. 

12. 
Rules of Interpretation: This Arbitration Provision shall survive the repayment of all amounts owed under this Agreement, the closing of the Account, any legal proceeding and any bankruptcy to the extent consistent with applicable bankruptcy law. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between this Arbitration Provision, on the one hand, and the applicable arbitration rules or the other provisions of this Agreement, on the other hand, this Arbitration Provision shall govern. This Arbitration Provision replaces any Prior Arbitration Agreement. 

13. 
Severability: If any portion of this Arbitration Provision, other than the Class Action Waiver, is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall nevertheless remain in force. If a determination is made that the Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, only this sentence of the Arbitration Agreement will remain in force and the remaining provisions shall be null and void, provided that the determination concerning the Class Action Waiver shall be subject to appeal. 

14. 
Special Payment: If (1) you submit a Claim Notice in accordance with Section B of the Arbitration and jury trial waiver Provisions on your own behalf (and not on behalf of any other party); (2) we refuse to provide you with the relief you request; and (3) an arbitrator subsequently determines that you were entitled to such relief (or greater relief), the arbitrator shall award you at least $5,100 (plus any fees and costs to which you are entitled).
