DICK’S SPORTING GOODS MASTERCARD® ACCOUNT AGREEMENT

1. CONTRACT. This Agreement (“Agreement”) is a contract for the extension of credit. It controls your DICK’S Sporting Goods MasterCard® account. This 
Agreement includes this document and the following documents:

•	 The application or any other document you submitted to us in connection with the account; and

•	 The privacy policy that is enclosed with or attached to this document.

By opening or using your account, you agree to the terms of this Agreement. This Agreement starts when (i) you give us an account application we approve or 
(ii) you use your account or let someone else use it, whichever occurs first.

2. PARTIES. The parties to this Agreement are you and GE Money Bank. GE Money Bank is located at 170 West Election Road, Suite 125, Draper, Utah 84020. 
GE Money Bank sometimes is called “us,” “we” or “our” in this Agreement.

3. PROMISE TO PAY. You promise to pay us for all credit that we extend on your account, including credit extended when you let another person use your 
account. You also promise to pay us for all other amounts owed to us under this Agreement.

4. CHANGING TERMS. Subject to the requirements and limitations of applicable law, we may change, add to or delete any of the terms of this Agreement, 
including the interest rates, fees and charges.

5. GOVERNING LAW. Except as provided in the Dispute and Claim Resolution (including Arbitration) provision, this Agreement and your account 
are governed by federal law and, to the extent state law applies, the laws of Utah without regard to its conflicts of law principles. This Agreement 
has been accepted by us in Utah.

6. CREDIT CARD. We have issued or will send you a DICK’S Sporting Goods MasterCard® for your use. You are not permitted to allow anyone else to use your 
credit card, but if you do, you will be responsible for such use. You will destroy all the credit card(s) issued on your account if we ask you to do so.

7.  AUTHORIZED  USER/JOINT  ACCOUNT.  If  you  ask  us  to  send  a  credit  card  to  another  person  that  you  want  to  let  use  your  account,  you  will  be 
responsible for all transactions made by that person. That person will be considered an authorized user. If another person is approved on the account, that 
person will be considered a joint accountholder. Each joint accountholder may use the account and agrees to the terms of this Agreement. No matter which 
joint accountholder uses the account, each of you must pay back the full amount owed on the account. We may treat each of you as one accountholder. For 
example, giving notice to one of you is considered the same as giving notice to both of you. Also, we may follow the instructions that we get from one of you 
even if they differ from instructions given by the other accountholder.

8. USING YOUR ACCOUNT. You may use your account only as stated in this Agreement. You may use your account for the following:

•	 Purchases — You may buy goods or services from DICK’S Sporting Goods locations, including DicksSportingGoods.com and from any merchant that 

accepts MasterCard; 

•	 Cash Advances — You may get cash advances as explained in section 9 below; and

•	 Balance Transfers — From time to time, we may offer you the chance to transfer balances from your other credit card accounts to this account. Unless 
we tell you otherwise, we will treat balance transfers as purchases. We reserve the right to decline to process any balance transfer request for any reason, 
and will not transfer a balance from any of our affiliates. Transfers will be processed in the order determined by us. If the amount you wish to transfer is 
greater than your available credit limit, we may reject the request(s). It may take up to four weeks for a balance transfer request to be credited to your other 
credit card account(s). It is your responsibility to make any payments required to keep your other account(s) current and to close your other account(s), if 
you desire. We are not responsible for any charges you may incur on your other account(s) as a result of your balance transfer(s). If you have a dispute with 
a creditor, and pay the balance in question by transferring it to your account, you may lose certain dispute rights.

You may use your account only for lawful personal, family or household purposes. You may not use your account for internet gambling or illegal purposes. You 
may not use your account to pay amounts you owe us on this account or on other accounts you have with us. These restrictions are for our benefit, and we 
are not responsible to you for enforcing them.

9. Cash Advances. We may offer you the opportunity to get a cash advance in the following ways:

•	 Convenience Checks. We may send you convenience checks. We may not honor a convenience check (i) if you filed for bankruptcy, (ii) if the check is 
expired, (iii) if your account is closed, (iv) if the amount of the check would exceed your available credit or cash advance limit, or (v) as otherwise stated on 
your convenience check.

•	 Cash and ATM Withdrawals. You can get cash from any institution that accepts the card or account. You can also get cash by making a withdrawal 
from an automated teller machine (ATM) that accepts the card or account. In addition to the fee we may charge, the ATM owner may charge you a fee for 
using the ATM. 

•	 Cash-Like Transactions. If you use your card or account to buy certain cash-like items, we will treat those purchases as cash advances. Cash-like items 
include, for example, money orders, cashier’s checks, traveler’s checks, electronic or wire transfers, foreign currency or other in-bank transactions, tax 
payments, lottery tickets or other legalized gambling transactions, court costs, bail bonds and fines.

10. CREDIT AND CASH ADVANCE LIMITS. 

A. Assigning Limits. We will assign the following limits on your account. We may increase or decrease either or both of these limits at any time.

•	 Credit Limit – This is the highest amount of total credit we will extend to you on your account.

•	 Cash Advance Limit – This is the highest amount of credit we will extend to you for cash advances made on your account. Cash transactions will also 

count towards your credit limit. 

B. Exceeding Limits. We may refuse to authorize you to use your account if that use (including any fees associated with that use) will cause the total you will 
owe on your account to be more than your credit limit. You may not get a cash advance if that cash advance (including interest and cash advance fees) will 
cause the total you will owe for cash advances on your account to be more than your cash advance limit. If we approve a transaction that causes the total you 
will owe on your account to be more than your credit limit or the total you will owe for cash advances on your account to be more than your cash advance limit, 
we do not give up any of our rights under this Agreement and we do not treat it as an increase in your credit limit or cash advance limit. 

C. Limiting Purchases, Balance Transfers or Cash Advances. We reserve the right to not approve transactions on your account. To prevent fraud, we may 
also limit the number or dollar amount of purchases, balance transfers or cash advances you can make in a particular amount of time.

11. INTEREST. This section explains (i) the interest rates that will apply to your account, (ii) when interest will be charged on your account, and (iii) how the 
amount of interest is calculated. Interest will be imposed in amounts or at rates not in excess of those permitted by applicable law.

A. Rates. The following rates apply to purchases, balance transfers and cash advances. The Annual Percentage Rates (APRs) applicable to your account are 
shown at the beginning of this Agreement and will also be shown on your billing statement.

We calculate interest on the balance of your account each day. We use a daily rate to calculate the interest each day. The daily rate is equal to the APR divided 
by 365. All of the APRs and the daily rates on your account vary with the market based on the prime rate. The rates applied during a billing cycle are calculated 
based on the prime rate. The prime rate for a billing cycle is the highest bank prime loan rate published in The Wall Street Journal in its Money Rates section on 
the last business day of the calendar month preceding the first day of the billing cycle. 

1.  Purchase Rate. The daily rate for purchases is the prime rate plus 23.74% , times 1/365. As of August 1, 2011, the daily rate for purchases was .07395% 

(APR 26.99%).

2.  Balance Transfer Rate. The daily rate for balance transfers is the prime rate plus 23.74%, times 1/365. As of August 1, 2011, the daily rate for balance 

transfers was .07395% (APR 26.99%).

3.  Cash Advance Rate. The daily rate for cash advances is the prime rate plus 26.74%, times 1/365. As of August 1, 2011, the daily rate for cash advances 

was .08217% (APR 29.99%).

4.  Daily Rates May Vary. If the prime rate increases, the daily rates (and corresponding APRs) may increase. As a result, interest, your total minimum 
payment and the number of payments it would take you to pay off your account balance may increase. We will apply any change in the daily rates because 
of a prime rate change to your entire account balance. A change in the prime rate will take effect on the first day of the billing cycle after the change. We 
may select a new interest rate index if the prime rate is not available.

5.  Special Promotional Financing Offer Information. At times, we may offer you special financing promotions when you use your account for certain 
transactions (“special promotions”). The provisions of this agreement apply to any special promotion, unless otherwise provided under the terms of the 
special promotion. Below is a description of certain special promotions that may be offered:

•	 No  Interest  if  Paid  in 
Full Within 6 Months

•	 No  Interest  if  Paid  in 
Full Within 12 Months

•	 No  Interest  if  Paid  in 
Full Within 18 Months

For each promotion, if the promotional balance is not paid in full within the promotional 
period, interest will be imposed from the date of purchase at the APR that applies to your 
account when the promotional purchase is made.

At the time your account is opened, this is a variable APR of 26.99%.

All  of  these  promotions  work  as  follows:  When  you  make  a  qualifying  purchase  under  one  of  these  promotions,  no  interest  will  be  assessed  on  the 
purchase if you pay the following (the “promotional balance”) in full within the applicable promotional period: (1) the promotional purchase amount, and 
(2) any related optional credit insurance/debt cancellation charges. If you do not, interest will be assessed on the promotional balance from the date 
of the purchase. Minimum monthly payments are required. Regular account terms apply to non-promotional purchases and, after promotion ends, to 
promotional purchases. We may terminate your participation in any special promotion if you become more than 60 days late on any payment due on 
your account. If we terminate your participation in any special promotion, each special promotion balance will no longer be subject to the terms of the 
special promotion. Offers are subject to credit approval. These promotional offers may not be available at all times for all purchases. Please see any special 
promotion advertising or other disclosures provided to you for the full terms of any special promotion offered. 

B. When We Charge Interest. We charge interest as described below.

1.  Purchases. We charge interest on your purchases from the date you make the purchase until you pay the purchase in full, except as set forth below:

•	 We will not charge you interest during a billing cycle on any purchases if (i) you had no balance at the beginning of the billing cycle or (ii) you had such a 

balance, you paid that balance in full by the due date in that billing cycle.

•	 We will credit, as of the beginning of the billing cycle, any payment you make by the due date that we allocate to purchases if (i) you had no balance at the 

beginning of the previous billing cycle, or (ii) if you had such a balance, you paid that balance in full by the due date in the previous billing cycle.

2.  Balance Transfers and Cash Advances. We charge interest on your balance transfers and cash advances (and their related fees) from the date you 

make the transaction until you pay them in full. You cannot avoid paying interest on balance transfers or cash advances or on their fees.

C. How We Calculate Interest.

During billing cycles in which interest is charged, for each balance type on your account we figure the interest charge on your account by applying the daily rate 
to the “daily balance” of your account for each day in the billing cycle. A separate daily balance will be calculated for the following balance types: purchases, 
balance transfers, cash advances and other balances that are subject to different interest rates, plans or special promotions. 

To calculate the daily interest charge, we do the following steps each day for each balance type: 

•	 First, we determine the “daily balance”. To determine the daily balance, we take the beginning balance each day, add any new charges and fees posted 

that day, and subtract any payments and credits posted that day. This gives us the daily balance.

We apply fees among various balance types as follows: 

(a) late payment fees are treated as new purchases;

(b) debt cancellation fees are added proportionately to each balance; 

(c) cash advance and stop payment fees are added to the cash advance balance;

(d) balance transfer fees are added to the balance transfer balance; and 

(e) foreign transaction fees are added to the purchase balance.

•	 Second, we calculate the amount of interest charged. To do this, we multiply the applicable daily rate by each daily balance on your account.

•	 Third, we add the interest amount to the daily balance, and the sum will become the beginning balance for the following day.

Your interest charge for the billing cycle is the sum of the interest amounts that were charged each day during the billing cycle for each balance type. We charge 
a minimum of $2.00 of interest in any billing cycle in which you owe interest and this charge is added proportionately to each balance type. 

12. FEES. We charge the following fees. The table at the beginning of this Agreement shows the amount of each Transaction Fee and Penalty Fee.

A. Transaction Fees.

1.  A Balance Transfer Fee for each balance transfer you make. 

2.  A Cash Advance Fee for each cash advance you get. For ATM cash advances, this fee is in addition to any fee the ATM owner may charge you for using 

the ATM.

3.  A Foreign Transaction Fee for purchases or cash advances you make in currencies other than U.S. dollars and/or in a country other than the U.S., 

whether or not the transaction was in a foreign currency.

B. Penalty Fees. A Late Payment Fee if we do not receive at least the total minimum payment due on your account as shown on your billing statement by 
5:00 p.m. (ET) on the due date. The amount of the late payment fee will be equal to: (1) $25 if you have paid at least your total minimum payment due by the 
due date in each of the prior six billing cycles or (2) $35 if you have failed to pay at least the total minimum payment due by the due date in any one or more of 
the prior six billing cycles. However, if the late payment fee would exceed the total minimum payment for which the late payment fee is assessed, the amount 
of the late payment fee will instead be equal to the amount of the total minimum payment that was due.

C. A Stop Payment Fee of $39.99. We charge this fee if we stop payment on any convenience check at your request. 

13. PAYMENTS.

A. Required Payment and Crediting of Payment. Each billing cycle you must pay at least the total minimum payment by 5:00 p.m. (ET) on the payment 
due date. You may at any time pay, in whole or in part, the total unpaid balance without any additional charge for prepayment. If you have a balance subject to 
interest, earlier payment may reduce the amount of interest you will pay. Any payments received after 5:00 p.m. (ET) will be credited as of the next day. We may 
delay making credit available on your account in the amount of your payment.

B. Minimum Payment. Your total minimum payment will be calculated as shown below. We round up to the next highest whole dollar in figuring your total 
minimum payment. If your new balance on your billing statement is less than the amount in section 1 below, then your total minimum payment will be equal to 
the new balance. Your total minimum payment will be the greater of:

1.  $25, or $35 if you have failed to pay at least the total minimum payment due by the due date in any one or more of the prior six billing cycles, or

2.  the sum of any past due amounts, 1% of the new balance shown on your billing statement, any late payment fees charged to your account in the current 
billing cycle, all interest charged to your account in the current billing cycle and any payment due in connection with a specific promotional purchase.

C. How to Make a Payment. To make a payment you must follow all the instructions below and the instructions on your billing statement. If you do not, credit 
of your payment to your account may be delayed up to five days. 

1.  Do the following: (a) make your payment in United States dollars by check, money order, or similar instrument from a bank located in the U.S.; (b) send 
the payment coupon from your billing statement with your payment; (c) send the payment and payment coupon in the envelope provided with your billing 
statement to the payment address listed on your billing statement; and (d) send only one payment and one payment coupon in each envelope. Alternatively 
you may make your payment online at the website address shown on your billing statement provided you make your payment in United States dollars 
from a bank located in the U.S.

2.  Do not do the following: (a) staple, paper clip, tape or fold your payment or payment coupon; (b) include any other papers or items with your payment; 

(c) use a balance transfer or convenience check from your account to pay us; or (d) send us cash.

D. Other Ways to Make a Payment. We may allow you to make payments over the phone as an accommodation to you, but we may charge you a fee to do so.

E. Disputed Amounts. If you send us correspondence about a disputed amount, you must send it to the address for billing inquiries shown on your 
billing statement. You may not send it to the payment address shown on your billing statement. By “disputed amount”, we mean a payment of 
less than the full balance on your account that is labeled as “payment in full” or similar language, or is given to us as full satisfaction of a disputed 
amount, or is given to us with other conditions or limitations. We may accept these types of payments without giving up any of our rights. 

F. Authorization. When you provide a check as payment, you authorize us either to use information from your check to make a one-time electronic fund transfer 
from your account or to process the payment as a check transaction. When we use information from your check to make an electronic fund transfer, funds may be 
withdrawn from your account as soon as the same day we receive your payment, and you will not receive your check back from your financial institution. 

G. Payment Allocation. We reserve the right to select the method by which the required minimum payment is allocated to different balances on your account. 
Some or all of the required minimum payment on your account will be applied to lower APR balances before higher APR balances. The payment allocation 
method that we use may result in higher interest on your account or reduced savings attributable to any special promotions. Any payment you make in excess 
of the required minimum payment will be allocated to balances with higher APRs before balances with lower APRs, unless applicable law requires or permits 
otherwise (such as when your account has a certain type of special promotion).

14. CURRENCY CONVERSION. If you make a transaction with your account in a currency other than U.S. dollars, MasterCard will convert the transaction 
amount into U.S. dollars using its currency conversion procedure. Under the currency conversion procedure that MasterCard currently uses, the non-U.S. dollar 
transaction amount is converted into a U.S. dollar amount by multiplying the transaction amount in the non-U.S. dollar currency by a currency conversion rate. 
The currency conversion rate that MasterCard typically uses is either a government mandated rate, or a wholesale rate provided to MasterCard. The currency 
conversion rate that MasterCard uses for a particular transaction is the rate MasterCard uses for the applicable currency when the transaction is processed. 
This rate may differ from the rate in effect when the transaction occurred or when it was posted to your Account, and may be higher than the rate you could 
have gotten if you had converted U.S. dollars into the foreign currency. 

15. UNAUTHORIZED USE. If you notice the loss or theft of your credit card or possible unauthorized use of your card, you should call us immediately at: 
1-877-471-5638. You will not be liable for any unauthorized use on your account. 

You agree that unauthorized use does not include use by a person to whom you have given your card or allowed use of your account. You will be responsible 
for all use by such a person.

16. YOUR CREDIT REPORTS AND ACCOUNT INFORMATION.

A. Using and Sharing Your Information. When you applied for an account you gave us information about yourself. You also agreed that we could ask 
others for information about your creditworthiness and that we could ask consumer reporting agencies for your consumer report. We use this information 
in considering your application. We also use this information for any updates, renewals or extensions of credit on your account. We use this information to 
review and collect your account. We use this information to provide you with offers. We may give information about you or your account to consumer reporting 
agencies and other proper parties. This information may include your performance under this Agreement. 

B. Inaccurate Information. Tell us if you think we reported wrong information about you to a consumer reporting agency (also called a credit 
bureau). Write to us at P.O. Box 965005, Orlando, FL 32896-5005. In your written communication, tell us what information is wrong and why you 
think it is wrong. If you have a copy of the credit report that includes the wrong information, send a copy of it with your written communication. 
We may report information about your account to credit bureaus. Late payments, missed payments, or other defaults on your account may be 
reflected in your credit report.

17. USE OF INFORMATION ABOUT YOU AND YOUR ACCOUNT. We will give information about you and your account to DICK’S Sporting Goods, Inc. (and 
its affiliates) and you consent to this. DICK’S Sporting Goods, Inc. will use the information in connection with the account program. DICK’S Sporting Goods, Inc.  
will also use the information for things like creating and updating its records and offering you special benefits. We will use information about you and your 
account as set forth in the privacy policy that is attached to or enclosed with this document. 

18. CHANGE OF ADDRESS/PHONE NUMBER. You agree to tell us right away if you change your address or phone number(s). We will contact you at the 
address in our records until we are able to update our records with your new address.

19. CONSENT TO COMMUNICATIONS. You consent to us contacting you using all channels of communication and for all purposes (including collection 
purposes), using all contact information you provide to us. You also consent to us and any other owner or servicer of your account contacting you about your 
account, including using text messages, any automatic telephone dialing system and/or an artificial or prerecorded voice when contacting you, even if you are 
charged for the call under your phone plan. You are responsible for any charges for contacting you that may be billed to you by your communications carriers.

20. TELEPHONE MONITORING. For quality control purposes, you permit us to listen to or record telephone calls between you and us.

21. CLOSING YOUR ACCOUNT. 

A. When You May Close Your Account. You may close your account at any time by writing or calling us and asking us to close your account. You must 
send this writing to the address shown on your billing statement or call us at the customer service number shown on your billing statement. We will close your 
account after we get your request.

B. When We May Close Your Account. Subject to the requirements and limitations of applicable law, we may close your account at any time and for any reason.

C. After You or We Close Your Account. If you or we close your account, you must stop using it. You will still have to pay us the full amount you owe on your 
account. This Agreement controls your account until you pay it in full.

22. DEFAULT. Subject to the requirements and limitations of applicable law, you are in default if you:

•	 Make a late payment;

•	 Do not follow any other term of this Agreement; or

•	 Become bankrupt or insolvent.

If you default or upon your death, we may, subject to the requirements and limitations of applicable law: (i) make the full amount owing on your account due right 
away; (ii) bring a legal action to collect all amounts owed; and/or (iii) take any action allowed by law. We may also reduce your credit limit or close your account 
at any time whether or not you are in default.

23. COLLECTION COSTS. If we ask an attorney to collect your account, we may charge you our collection costs. Collection costs may include court costs 
and reasonable attorneys’ fees. We will charge these costs only if the attorney we ask to collect is not our salaried employee and the law allows us to do so. 

24. DISPUTE AND CLAIM RESOLUTION (INCLUDING ARBITRATION) PROVISION.

General/Requirement to Arbitrate. PLEASE READ THIS PROVISION CAREFULLY. UNLESS YOU SEND US THE REJECTION NOTICE DESCRIBED 
BELOW, THIS PROVISION WILL APPLY TO YOUR ACCOUNT, AND MOST DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US WILL BE SUBJECT TO INDIVIDUAL 
ARBITRATION. THIS MEANS THAT: (1) NEITHER A COURT NOR A JURY WILL RESOLVE ANY SUCH DISPUTE; (2) YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO 
PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR SIMILAR PROCEEDING; (3) LESS INFORMATION WILL BE AVAILABLE; AND (4) APPEAL RIGHTS WILL BE 
LIMITED. This Provision replaces any existing arbitration provision with us and will stay in force no matter what happens to your Account, including termination.

Upon demand, and except as otherwise provided below, you and we must arbitrate individually any dispute or claim between you, any joint cardholder and/or 
any additional cardholder, on the one hand; and us, our affiliates, agents and/or DICK’S Sporting Goods, Inc., on the other hand, if the dispute or claim arises 
from or relates to your Account. However, we will not require you to arbitrate: (1) any individual case in small claims court or your state’s equivalent court, so 
long as it remains an individual case in that court; or (2) any claim by us that only involves our effort to collect money you owe us. However, if you respond to a 
collection lawsuit by claiming that we engaged in any wrongdoing, we may require you to arbitrate.

YOU AGREE NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION AGAINST US IN COURT OR 
ARBITRATION. ALSO, YOU MAY NOT BRING CLAIMS AGAINST US ON BEHALF OF ANY CARDHOLDER WHO IS NOT A JOINT OR ADDITIONAL 
CARDHOLDER WITH YOU ON YOUR ACCOUNT (AN “UNRELATED CARDHOLDER”), AND YOU AGREE THAT NO UNRELATED CARDHOLDER 
MAY BRING ANY CLAIMS AGAINST US ON YOUR BEHALF. CLAIMS BY YOU AND BY AN UNRELATED CARDHOLDER MAY NOT BE JOINED 
IN A SINGLE ARBITRATION. Only a court may decide whether any part of this paragraph is enforceable. If it is finally determined that this paragraph is 
not fully enforceable, only this sentence of the Provision will remain in force and the remainder of the Provision will be null and void, provided that the court’s 
determination concerning the enforceability of this paragraph shall be subject to appeal.

Starting an Arbitration. If you or we elect to arbitrate a claim, the electing party must notify the other party in writing. This notice can be given after the 
beginning of a lawsuit and can be given in papers filed in the lawsuit. Otherwise, your notice must be sent to GE Money Bank, Legal Operation, P.O. Box 29110, 
Shawnee Mission, KS 66201, ATTN: ARBITRATION DEMAND and our notice must be sent to the most recent address for you in our files. The party seeking 
arbitration must select as the arbitration administrator either the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), 1633 Broadway, 10th Floor, New York, NY 10019, 
www.adr.org, (800) 778-7879, or JAMS, 620 Eighth Avenue, 34th Floor, New York, NY 10018, www.jamsadr.com, (800) 352-5267. If neither the AAA nor JAMS 
is able or willing to handle the dispute, then the parties will resolve their dispute in court.

The  arbitration  administrator  will  appoint  the  arbitrator  and  tell  the  parties  what  to  do  next.  The  arbitrator  must  be  a  lawyer  with  at  least  ten  years  legal 
experience. In making decisions or awarding remedies, the arbitrator must apply the same law and legal principles that would apply in court, but may use 
different procedural rules. If the administrator’s rules conflict with this Provision, this Provision will control.

Arbitration Location and Fees. The arbitration will take place by phone or at a location reasonably convenient to you. Upon your request, we will normally 
pay all the fees the administrator or arbitrator charges, if we believe you are acting in good faith. We will always pay these arbitration costs, as well as your legal 
fees and costs, to the extent required under applicable law or in order for this Provision to be enforced. 

Governing Law. This Provision is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (the “FAA”). Utah law shall apply to the extent state law is relevant under Section 2 
of the FAA in determining the validity of this Provision. The arbitrator must follow: (1) the substantive law, consistent with the FAA, that would apply if the matter 
had been brought in court, (2) this Provision, and (3) the administrator’s rules. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding, except for any appeal right under 
the FAA. Any court with jurisdiction may enter judgment upon the arbitrator’s award.

Rejecting this Provision. You may reject this Provision, in which case only a court may be used to resolve any dispute or claim. Rejection will not 
affect any other aspect of the cardholder agreement. To reject, you must send us a notice within 60 days after you open your account or we first provide you 
with a right to reject this Provision. The notice must include your name, address, and account number and be mailed to GE Money Bank, P.O. Box 965012, 
Orlando, FL 32896-5012. This is the only way you can reject this Provision. 

25. WAIVER. We may decide to give up any of our rights under this Agreement. This includes our right to impose the full amount of any charge. If we do, we do 
not give up any of our other rights under this Agreement. If we give up any of our rights in one situation, we do not give up the same right in another situation. 
Except as we may agree in a signed writing, we do not give up any rights if we (a) accept a late or partial payment, (b) accept a check or other payment marked
