ment  or  on  the  back  of  the  card.  We  may  require  you  to  provide  additional  documents  that  are  acceptable  to  us  to  verify  this  information  or  any

as requested. 
Credit Limits. 

(c) 

On or about the date you received this Agreement, we notified you in writing of your credit limit, which will also appear on your statements. 

(i) 
(ii)        Your maximum approved credit limit will be not less than $300.00, nor more than $3,000.00. Under no circumstance will your credit limit be more 

than the balance of your savings account described in Section 3(l)(i). 

(iii)       You are responsible for keeping track of your account balances and your available credit limit. You agree not to use your card to attempt to obtain credit 
in excess of your credit limit. We may still honor transactions above your credit limit, but our honoring of these transactions will not increase your credit lim- 
it, and is at our sole discretion. 

(iv)  We may also increase, decrease, restrict, or cancel your credit limit at any time, subject to applicable law. This will not affect your obligation to pay the 

indebtedness as required by this Agreement. If we change your credit limit, we will notify you in the manner required by applicable law. 

(v)        You have the ability to increase the credit limit of your card by adding additional amounts to the savings account in increments of $50.00 or more, up to 

the maximum credit limit of $3,000.00 by increasing the balance in your savings account. 

(d) 

Collateral Pledge. 

You will be required to give us a lien (security interest) on your Credit Builder Savings account. 

(i)

identified in the application or use other provided funds to open a savings account in your name for the amount of the credit that you requested in your 
application.  At  the  same  time  we  inform  you  of  your  approved  credit  limit,  we  will  make  available  all  agreements  and  disclosures  applicable  to  the 
Credit Builder Savings account that we are required to provide to you under applicable law. The savings account will accrue and pay interest at the rate 
and Annual Percentage Yield that are in effect for our Credit Builder Savings account. 

(iii)       Whether you are or are not a customer on the date you submit the application, you may satisfy the collateral pledge requirement by granting a security 
interest in a savings account issued on or before the application date. You assign and grant to us, for valuable consideration, a security interest in the sav- 
ings account, effective on the date you first use the card to initiate a transaction, to secure your obligation to pay the indebtedness, but only if we ap- 
prove your application. 

(e) 

Acceptance of this Agreement and Changes to this Agreement. 

(i)         We issued card(s) to you as identified in the application. All issued card(s) were sent to you at the address you provided in your application. You will be 
deemed to have accepted and agreed to this Agreement on the day you first use the card to initiate a transaction after you first receive the card. 

(ii)        You will be deemed to have accepted changes to this Agreement and the related documents the first time you use the card to initiate a transaction after a 

change is effective. 

2. 

Your Account Use Agreements. 
(a) 

Using Your Account. 

(i)         You promise to follow the terms of this Agreement as long as your account remains open or has a balance due. Please sign the card immediately when 
you receive it. The card is valid during the dates provided on the front. We will release our security interest in the savings account as stated in Section 
3(m)(iv)). Prior to the expiration date of the initial card we issued in response to your application, we will review your credit report (per Section 4(g)(ii)) 
and decide whether you may qualify for unsecured credit. If you do, we will notify you to that effect. If you respond positively to our notification, we 
will establish a new unsecured card account with an appropriate credit limit and issue card(s) to you . If you do not qualify for unsecured credit, we 
may issue replacement cards(s) unless you tell us otherwise. In any event, your account will continue to be secured by the savings account for as long as 
you are obliged to pay your indebtedness. 
The card is our property, and you will return it to us or destroy it if we ask. 
You will take reasonable steps to prevent the unauthorized use of the card. 

(ii) 
(iii) 
(iv)       We are not responsible if anyone refuses to accept the card for any reason. Also, we may reject any transaction for any reason. We may limit the type, 
number, or aggregate dollar amount of transactions you are permitted to initiate in a day, week, or billing cycle for security reasons. If we impose such 
limits, you agree that we will not be liable to you if we do not authorize or process transactions in excess of those limits. Unless we tell you otherwise, 
we will bill each transaction to your account and apply it against your available credit limit for each billing cycle. 
Unless we agree, you may not use a transfer to transfer amounts from other accounts with us or any of our affiliates. 

(v) 
(vi)       You must not use, or try to use, the card for any Internet gambling transactions or transactions that are illegal or not permitted by us. You will still be re- 
sponsible for all indebtedness arising from such transactions if you do, and they will be subject to this Agreement. You might have to reimburse the net- 
work and us for all damages and expenses. 

2 

 
(vii)      You must not use, or try to use, the card for any transactions, such as securing or paying for rental car usage, as that is not permitted by us. You will still 
be responsible for all indebtedness arising from such transactions if you do, and they will be subject to this Agreement. You might have to reimburse the 
network and us for all damages and expenses. 

(viii)  You agree that you will not use your card if we or you have suspended or canceled the card or account; after you have reported the card lost or stolen; 

after you file a petition for bankruptcy; or if you do not honestly expect to be able to pay your indebtedness in full. 

(ix)       From time to time, due to circumstances beyond our control (such as system failures, fires, floods, natural disasters or other unpredictable events), 
our services might be unavailable. When this happens, you might be unable to use the card or obtain information about your account. We will not be 
responsible or liable if this happens. 

(b) 

Transactions Made in Foreign Currencies. 

(i)         A currency conversion transaction fee in the amount set forth in the Disclosure Statement will be assessed on all transactions where the merchant country dif- 

fers from the card issuer’s country. The converted transaction amount will be shown separately from the international transaction fee on your statement. 

(ii)        An international transaction fee in the amount set forth in the Disclosure Statement will be assessed on foreign transactions where a currency conversion is 

not performed. 

(c)          No Warranties. Except as otherwise provided in the “Billing Rights Summary” part of your statements (see Section 3(h)), we are not responsible for any 

claim you might have regarding the purchases of goods or services made with the card. 
Merchant Refunds. If you are entitled to a refund for goods or services purchased with the card, you will accept these refunds as credits to your account. 
We do not control when a merchant sends us your refund. We will also have a reasonable amount of time after we receive your refund to process it. 
Using a PIN. 

(d) 

(e) 

We may give you a PIN. For security reasons, you might have to provide the PIN before you are able to complete some transactions using the card. 

(i) 
(ii)  With a PIN, you may use the card to obtain cash from certain ATMs, or make purchases at certain merchant POSs. You may do these things if the ATM 

or POS requires entry of a PIN and displays the logo of the network on the card. 

(iii)       You should keep your PIN secure and not write it down, give it to anyone, or keep it with the card. If you lose the card or believe that someone has 

gained unauthorized access to your PIN, you must contact us immediately. 

3. 

Your Payment Agreements. 
(a)          Your Promise to Pay. You promise, individually and jointly, to pay us all amounts due on your account. This includes amounts where you did not sign a 
purchase slip or other documents for the transaction. If you use the card number without presenting the physical card (such as for mail, telephone or In- 
ternet purchases), this will be treated the same way as if you presented the card. If you let someone else use the card, you are responsible for all transactions 
that person makes. If you die, we will apply savings account funds to your indebtedness prior to making any surplus funds available to any other person or your 
estate. 

(b)         Making Payments. Your payments must be in U.S. dollars from a U.S. deposit account and otherwise be acceptable to us. We do not accept cash pay- 

ments through the mail. You may not make payments with funds from your account or any other credit account with us or any of our affiliates. 
Interest Charges and Fees. We will charge interest charges and fees to your account as disclosed to you in the Disclosure Statement and your statements. 

(c) 

(i)         Interest Charges. In general, interest charges begin to accrue from the day a transaction occurs. However, we will not assess interest charges on any new bal- 

ances posted to your account provided you have paid your previous balance in full by its due date. 
Fees. The following fees apply to your account only if they are provided in the Disclosure Statement. 

(ii) 

(A)    Annual Fee. We may charge this fee upon the opening of your card account and each anniversary of your card issue date. 
(B)    Balance Transfer Fee. We will charge this fee each time you request us to transfer a balance from another institution to your card account. 
(C)    Card Replacement Fee. We may charge this fee if we issue a replacement card at your request prior to the card’s normal reissue date. 
(D)   Cash Advance Fee. We may charge this fee each time you obtain a cash advance. 
(E)    Copying Fee. We may charge a per-page fee for copies of transaction documents or statements unless they are required when resolving a billing dis- 

pute. 

(F)    Currency Conversion Fee. We may charge this fee under the circumstances described in Section 2(b)(i). 
(G)   International Transaction Fee. We may charge this fee under the circumstances described in Section 2(b)(ii). 
(H)   Late Payment Fee. We will charge this fee if by 10 days after your scheduled payment due date, we have not received your minimum payment. 
(I)    Over the limit means exceeding your credit limit by more than $0.01. 
(J)  Returned Payment Fee. We may charge this fee each time any payment you make to us is not paid by your financial institution for any reason, even 

if your institution later pays it. 

(K)   Special Processing Fee. We may charge this fee if you request that your account have expedited processing and expedited delivery of your card to 

you. 

(iii)  We will not charge both a late payment fee and a returned payment fee in the same billing cycle. 
(iv) 

  We may increase your interest charges and fees as described in Section 4(j) or in the related documents. 
Minimum Payment. 

(d) 

(i)         Your statement will provide instructions for making payments, including the amounts due and the due date. If applicable, your statement will also provide 
a minimum payment amount. To avoid a late payment fee, your minimum payment must be received by us no later than 10 days after your scheduled pay- 
ment due date. 

(ii)        In addition to the minimum payment, you may pay all or part of the balance on your account. However, you must still pay at least the minimum payment 
amount each month, even if you paid more than the minimum on the previous statement. We will continue to charge interest charges during billing cycles 
when you carry a balance regardless of whether your statement includes a minimum payment. If your account is 60 days past due the entire balance is im- 
mediately due and payable. 

(iii)       Payments will be applied in the following order: (A) interest charges; (B) previous cash advances (including transfers); (C) previous purchases; (D) current cash 

advances (including transfers); and finally to (E) current purchases. 

(e) 

Index; Periodic Rate. 

The index is the highest Prime Rate published in the “Money Rates” column of The Wall Street Journal ("WSJ"). 

(i) 
(ii)        We may adjust the index monthly using the Prime Rate published in the WSJ on the 25th day of each month, or the day immediately preceding those 
dates on which the WSJ is published if the WSJ does not publish a Prime Rate on the 25th  day of a month. The new rate will take effect on the first 
day  of  your  next  billing  cycle.  The  WSJ  Prime  Rate  in  effect  on  December  22,  2015  was  3.50%.  The  APR  will  be  determined  by  adding  the 
margin of 
17.74%  to the value of the index. Your APR may change monthly. 

(f) 

(i) 

Variable Rates. How do you calculate variable rates? 

We calculate variable rates by adding  a margin to the value  of the  index. Therefore, variable interest  rates may change when the  value  of the index 
changes. If the index value changes, your new interest rate (and corresponding APR) will take effect on your next billing cycle. 

(ii)  What are the daily periodic rates used to calculate my interest? The daily periodic rate for all transactions is 0.0575%. 
(iii)       How is the interest charge applied? Subject to your right to pay the “New Balance” in full by the due date without incurring interest charges, interest charges ac- 
crue from the transaction date, the date the transaction is posted to your account, or the first calendar day of the billing cycle, as applicable. Interest charges ac- 

3 

 
crue on the unpaid amount until it is paid in full. This means you may owe interest charges even if you pay the entire “New Balance” one month, but did 
not do so for the previous month. 

(iv)       How do you calculate interest charges? We calculate your total interest charge by multiplying your average daily balance by the daily periodic rate and multi- 
plying the result by the number of days in the billing cycle. Due to rounding or a minimum interest charge, this calculation may vary slightly from the inter- 
est charge actually assessed. 

(v)        We determine your daily periodic rate by dividing the corresponding APR by 365 and rounding to the nearest 1/100,000 of 1%, not to exceed the max- 
imum allowed by applicable law. If the daily periodic rate and corresponding APR increase, the interest charge will increase and your minimum payment may 
be more. 

(vi)       To determine your average daily balance, add the daily balances together and divide the sum by the number of days in the billing cycle. 
(vii)      To determine your daily balance, take the beginning balance and add in new transactions and the periodic interest charge on the previous day’s balance, 
then subtract any payments and credits as of that day. However, if you paid your previous month’s balance in full (or if your balance was zero or a 
credit amount), new transactions are not added to the daily balances as long as the “New Balance” is paid in full by the due date.

Disputed Transactions. 

This notice contains important information about your rights and our responsibilities under the Fair Credit Billing Act. 
(i) 

What to Do If You Find a Mistake On Your Statement 

YOUR BILLING RIGHTS – KEEP THIS NOTICE FOR FUTURE USE 

(A) 

(B) 

(C) 

If you think there is an error on your statement, write to us at: 
Academy Bank, N.A. 
c/o Credit Card Processing 
Post Office Box 26458 
Kansas City, Missouri 64196-6458 

In your letter, give us the following information: 
(1)  Account Information: Your name and account number. 
(2)  Dollar Amount: The dollar amount of the suspected error. 
(3)     Description of the Problem: If you think there is an error on your statement, describe what you believe is wrong and why you 

believe it is a mistake. 

You must contact us: 
(1)  Within 60 days after the error appeared on your statement. 
(2)     At least three business days before an automated payment is scheduled, if you want to stop payment on the amount you think is 

wrong. 

(3)     You must notify us of any potential errors in writing. You may call us, but if you do we are not required to investigate any po- 

tential errors and you may have to pay us the amount in question. 

(ii)  What Will Happen After We Receive Your Letter 

(A)  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 statement is cor- 

rect. 

(B) 

(C) 

(D) 

While we investigate whether or not there has been an error: 
(1)  We cannot try to collect the amount in question, or report you as delinquent on that amount. 
(2)  The charge in question may remain on your statement, and we may continue to assess interest charges on that amount. 
(3)  While you do not have to pay the amount in question, you are responsible for the remainder of your balance. 
(4)  We can apply any unpaid amount against your credit limit. 
After we finish our investigation, one of two things will happen: 

(1) 
(2) 

If we made a mistake: You will not have to pay the amount in question or any interest charges 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 charges and 
fees. We will send you written notice of the amount you owe and the date payment is due. We may then report you as delin- 
quent if you do not pay the amount we think you owe. 

If you receive our explanation but still believe your statement is wrong, you must write to us within 10 days telling us that you still re- 
fuse to pay. If you do so, we cannot report you as delinquent without also reporting that you are questioning your statement. 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. 

(E)         If we do not follow the rules above, you do not have to pay the first $50.00 of the amount you question even if your statement is cor- 

(iii) 

Your Rights If You Are Dissatisfied With Your Credit Card Purchases 

rect. 

(A)         If you are dissatisfied with the goods or services that you have purchased with the card, and you have tried in good faith to correct the 

(B) 

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  $50.00.  (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.) 

4 

 
(2)  You must have used your card for the purchase. Purchases made with cash advances from an ATM or with a check that accesses 

your account do not qualify. 

(3)  You must not yet have fully paid for the purchase. 

(C) 

If all of the criteria above are met and you are still dissatisfied with the purchase, contact us in writing at: 
Academy Bank, N.A. 
c/o Credit Card Processing 
Post Office Box 26458 
Kansas City, Missouri 64196-6458 

(D)  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. 
(j)          Other Consequences of a Dispute. If you dispute a transaction made by you or someone else on your account, and we later credit your account for all or 

(i) 
(ii) 
(iii) 

(k) 

(i) 

part of the disputed amount, you give us all of your rights against that other person. In addition, you will: 

give us any merchandise or other purchases you received in connection with the disputed amount if we ask; 
not pursue any claim or reimbursement from the merchant and that other person; and 
help us pursue and get reimbursement from the merchant and that other person. 
Your help includes giving us documents that we ask for and that are acceptable to us. 
Mailed Payments. 

You must mail payments to us at the address provided on your statement or as otherwise instructed by us. We will credit each payment to your account 
on the day we receive it if: 

(A) 
(B) 
(C) 

you send the payment coupon included with your statement in the same envelope with your payment; 
you include your account number on your payment item; and 
your payment arrives at the address indicated on the payment coupon by the cutoff time. 

(ii)        Unless otherwise specified in Section 3(j)(iii), and except as limited by applicable law, payments that conform to the requirements of Section 3(j)(i) will 
be credited to your account if we receive them by the cutoff time. If we receive any payment after the cutoff time, we will apply it the next business day ex- 
cept when a delay does not result in a finance or other charge. If the due date falls on a weekend or holiday, or a day on which we do not receive or 
accept payments, then we will treat any payment received by us at the correct address by the cutoff time on the next business day as if we received it by 
the cutoff time on the due date. We will not impose a separate fee for you to make payments unless the applicable payment method involves an expedited 
(that is same day or next day) delivery service.

Security Agreement. 

(i)         Pledge and Grant of Security Interest. For valuable consideration, you assign and grant to us a security interest in the Credit Builder savings account, to se- 

cure your obligation to pay the indebtedness. 

(ii)        Default. If an event of default occurs and remains uncured for a period of not less than 60 days after a due date, you authorize us to apply savings account 
funds to reduce the indebtedness to $0.00. We are not required to send you any additional notice or demand for payment. The rights described in this 
Section 3(k)(ii) are in addition to all other rights we have under the Agreement or applicable law. 

(iii)       Application of Funds to the Account. If any indebtedness remains unpaid, you will still be responsible for the repayment of that amount, and we may con- 
tinue to report your account delinquent as applicable. If your account becomes subject to bankruptcy proceedings, we will treat the savings account as re- 
quired by that process. We may, at our discretion, unsecure your account at any time by releasing our lien interest in the savings account. 

(iv)       Release of Security Interest in Savings Account. We will release our security interest in your savings account when we or you cancel or terminate your account, 

but only after applying savings account funds to your indebtedness. 

(v)        Legal Proceedings; Disputes. You represent that there are no current lawsuits or bankruptcy proceedings that might affect our interest in the savings ac- 
count. You have not and will not attempt to transfer any interest in the savings account to any person or offer the savings account as security for obligations 
other than the indebtedness. If your account or the savings account become involved or are likely to become involved in a legal proceeding, you understand 
that the entire balance of the savings account may be restricted until the matter is resolved. 

(vi)       Escheat. You understand that the savings account may be subject to applicable law with respect to escheat of dormant funds, as set forth in the related doc- 

uments. 

Our Account Servicing Agreements. 
(a)          Statements. We will send you one statement for all cards issued with respect to your account per billing cycle unless applicable law does not require or permit 
us to send only one statement. Statements will be sent at the end of each billing cycle when your account has a debit or credit balance of more than $1.00, or 
if we have charged any interest charges to your account. Your statement will show all transactions billed to your account during the billing cycle along with other 
important account information. 
Payment Processing. 

(b) 

(i)         We may accept and process payments without losing any of our rights. Even if we apply your payment to your account, we may delay the availability of 
credit until we confirm that your payment has cleared. We may resubmit and electronically collect returned payments. We may also adjust your account 
as necessary to correct errors, to process returned and reversed payments, and to handle similar issues. 

(ii)        When you provide an item as payment you authorize us either to use information from your item to make a one time electronic fund transfer from 
your deposit account or to process the payment as an item. We will provide additional information about this process on your statement or other doc- 
uments we send you before your payment. You may contact us and ask that we not process your future items in this way. 

(iii)       When you provide an item as payment, it might also be converted into an electronic image and collected and returned electronically. These electronic 
images may also be converted to substitute checks. We will not be responsible if an item you provide has physical features that when imaged result in 
it not being processed as you intended. 

(c)          Items with Restrictive Words, Conditions or Instructions. All items that have restrictive words, conditions, limitations, or special instructions added (in- 
cluding items marked with the words “Paid in Full” or similar language) and all accompanying communications must be mailed to and received at the 
address in your most recent statement. If you make your payment or send any accompanying communications to any other address, we may accept and 
process the payment without losing any of our rights. 

(d)         Credit Balances. We may reject and return to you any payment that creates a credit balance on your account. If we allow you to create a credit balance, 
such balance will not be available until we confirm that your payment has cleared. We may reduce the amount of a credit balance by any new transac- 
tions posted to your account. You may contact us in writing as provided on your statement and request a refund of an available credit balance. We will re- 
fund your credit balance not later than seven business days after we receive your written request.
