this information by logging onto your account on our website or by calling one of our representatives at the telephone number provided on your 
statement 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 
changes. We maintain the right to restrict or close your account if your information cannot be verified or if you do not provide additional information 
as requested. 

c)  Credit Limits. 

i)  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. 
ii)  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 
limit, and is at our sole discretion. 

iii)  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. 

d)  Acceptance of this Agreement and Changes to this Agreement. 

i)  We issued cards to you as identified in the application. All issued cards 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.

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. 
The card is our property, and you will return it to us or destroy it if we ask. 
ii) 
iii)  You will take reasonable steps to prevent the unauthorized use of the card. 
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)

network and us for all damages and expenses. 

vii)  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. 

viii)  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 

differs 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. 

d)  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. 

e)  Using a PIN. 

i)  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. 
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.

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

that person makes. 

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 
payments 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.

by its due date.  

(b) Interest charges will begin accruing on the date of the transaction for all cash advances. There is no grace period to avoid paying interest on these

scheduled payment due date. 
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 90 days past due, the entire 
balance is immediately due and payable.

monthly account statement. After six (6) consecutive payments, the APR will revert to the standard APR as shown on the Account Opening Disclosure

account indefinitely.

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: 

(i)  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. 

(ii)  Within 90 days of receiving your letter, we must either correct the error or explain to you why we believe the statement is correct the 

error.  

(b)  While we investigate whether or not there has been an error: 

(i)  We cannot try to collect the amount in question, or report you as delinquent on that amount. 
(ii)  The charge in question may remain on your statement, and we may continue to assess interest charges on that amount.  
(iii)  While you do not have to pay the amount in question, you are responsible for the remainder of your balance. 
(iv)  We can apply any unpaid amount against your credit limit.  

(c)  After we finish our investigation, one of two things will happen:

(i) 
(ii)  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

name of anyone to whom we reported you as delinquent, and we must let those organizations know when the matter has been settled

Your Rights If You Are Dissatisfied With Your Credit Card Purchases 
(a)

(i)  The purchase must have been made in your home state or within 100 miles of your current mailing address, and the purchase price must

or if we own the company that sold you the goods or services.)

account do not qualify. 

iii) 

(iii)  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:  

(c)

Attn:  Credit Card Department 
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 

give us any merchandise or other purchases you received in connection with the disputed amount if we ask;  

part of the disputed amount, you give us all of your rights against that other person. In addition, you will: 
i) 
ii)  not pursue any claim or reimbursement from the merchant and that other person; and 
iii)  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. 

k) 

 Mailed Payments. 
i)  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: 
(1)  you send the payment coupon included with your statement in the same envelope with your payment; 
(2)  you include your account number on your payment item; and  
(3)  your payment arrives at the address indicated on the payment coupon by the cutoff time. 

ii)  Unless otherwise specified in Section 3(k)(iii), and except as limited by applicable law, payments that conform to the requirements of Section 3(k)(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 
except 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. 

iii)  We may accept payments that do not conform to the requirements set forth in this Section 3(k), and if we do so, we will apply them to your account 

not later than five days after we receive them. 

4)  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. 
b)  Payment Processing. 

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 
documents we send you before your payment. You may contact us and ask that we not process your future items in this way. 

Revision dated 3-16-19

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 
(including 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 transactions 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 refund your credit 
balance not later than seven business days after we receive your written request. 

e)  Account Default. 

i)  We may consider you in default under this Agreement if: 

(1)  you do not make a payment by its due date; 
(2)  any payment you make is rejected, not paid, or cannot be processed; 
(3)  you exceed your credit limit; 
(4)  a bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding is filed by or against you;  
(5)  you die or are legally declared incompetent or incapacitated; 
(6)  we determine that you made a false, incomplete, or misleading statement on any of your account documentation, or you otherwise tried to 

defraud us; 

(7)  you do not comply with any term of this Agreement, the related documents, or any other agreement with us; or 
(8)  you permanently reside outside the United States. 
If your account is in default, we may charge the late payment fee set forth in Section 3(c)(ii) and the Disclosure Statement. 

ii) 
iii)  Paying the fees charged in connection with a default will not by itself cure the default. In addition, if you are in default, we may take the following 

lower your credit limit; 
increase your minimum payment; 

actions without notifying you, unless we are required to do so by applicable law: 
(1)  close or suspend your account;  
(2) 
(3) 
(4)  demand that you immediately pay the entire indebtedness (for example, as described in Section 3(d)); 
(5)  continue to charge you interest charges and fees as long as any indebtedness remains outstanding; and/or 
(6)  pursue any other action against you that is permitted by applicable law, including the filing of a lawsuit against you. 

iv)  You must pay us all of our collection expenses, attorneys’ fees, and court costs, unless applicable law does not allow us to collect these amounts. 

f)  Communications. 

i)  We may contact you from time to time regarding your account. We may contact you in any manner we choose unless prohibited by applicable law. For 

example, we may: 
(1)  contact you by mail, telephone, cellular phone, email, fax, recorded message, text message, or personal visit;  
(2)  contact you at your home and at your place of employment; 
(3)  contact you at any time, including weekends and holidays;  
(4)  contact you with any frequency; 
(5) 
(6) 

leave prerecorded and other messages on your answering machine/service and with others; and 
identify ourselves, your relationship with us, and our purpose for contacting you even if others might hear or read it. 

ii)  Our contacts with you about your account are not unsolicited and might result from information we obtain from you or others. We may monitor or 

record our conversations or other communication with you. Unless prohibited by applicable law, we may modify or suppress caller ID and similar 
services and identify ourselves on these services in any manner we choose. When you give us, or we obtain, your mobile tele- phone number, we may 
contact you at this number and can also leave prerecorded and other messages. We may do these things whether we contact you or you contact us. 
If you ask us to discuss your account with a person, you must provide us with documents that we ask for and that are acceptable to us. 

iii) 

g)  Credit Reports. 

i)  We may provide information about you and the account to consumer (credit) reporting agencies and others as provided in the related documents. 

Information we provide might appear on your credit reports and your authorized users’ credit reports. This could include negative information if you 
do not comply with the terms of this Agreement. 

ii)  We may obtain and use credit and income information about you from consumer (credit) reporting agencies and others as permitted by applicable law. 

h)  Closing or Suspending Your Account. 

i)  You may ask us to close your account by writing us as described on your statement. Your statement will provide additional information about this 

process, and we may also separately provide you with additional details after your request. This might include payment information. If you use the 
card or charges post to your account after you ask us to close it, we may keep it open or re-open it. 

ii)  We may close or suspend your account and your right to obtain credit from us. We may do this at any time and for any reason permitted by applicable 

iii) 

law, even if you are not in default. A suspension of your account might be permanent or temporary. 
If your account is closed or suspended for any reason, you must stop using the card. You must also cancel all billing arrangements that access the 
account. We will not do this for you. If we close or permanently suspend your account, you must also destroy all cards. You must still pay the indebtedness 
in full, even if it includes transactions posted to your account after we close or suspend it. 

i)  New Offers. In the future, we might make new offers to you or forward offers from others that we think you might be interested in. These offers may
