DATE 

In this Agreement, <You= and <your= mean any person who accepts this Agreement or uses the Card. The <Card= means any credit card issued to you or 
those designated by you under the terms of this Agreement. <We=, <us=, <our= and the <Credit Union= means First Source Federal Credit Union or its 
successors. By using your card, you agree to all of the terms and conditions set forth herein.

THE  GRANTING  OF  THIS  SECURITY  INTEREST  IS  A  CONDITION 
FOR THE ISSUANCE OF CREDIT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. 
YOU  SPECIFICALLY  GRANT  US  A  CONSENSUAL  SECURITY 
INTEREST IN ALL INDIVIDUAL AND JOINT ACCOUNTS YOU HAVE 
WITH US NOW AND IN THE FUTURE TO SECURE REPAYMENT OF 
CREDIT  EXTENDED  UNDER  THIS  AGREEMENT.  YOU  ALSO 
AGREE  THAT  WE  HAVE  SIMILAR  STATUTORY  LIEN  RIGHTS 
UNDER STATE AND/OR FEDERAL LAW. IF YOU ARE IN DEFAULT, 
WE CAN APPLY YOUR SHARES TO THE AMOUNT YOU OWE.  
Shares  and  deposits  in  an  Individual  Retirement  Account  or  any  other 
account that would lose special tax treatment under state or federal law 
if given are not subject to this security interest. 
If  you  have  other  loans  with  us,  collateral  securing  such  loans  will  also 
secure your obligations under this Agreement, unless that other collateral 
is your principal residence or non-purchase money household goods. 

Using  Your  Card.  You  can  purchase  or  lease  goods  and  services  from 
any merchant who honors your Card, and you may obtain cash advances 
from financial institutions and ATM machines that accept the Card, up to 
your maximum credit limit. You agree not to present your Card or obtain a 
cash advance for any extension of credit in excess of your available credit 
limit;  however,  if  you  do  exceed  your  credit  limit,  you  agree  to  make 
immediate  payment  sufficient  to  bring  the  balance  below  the  credit  limit. 
Certain  purchases  and  cash  advances  require  authorization  prior  to 
completion  of  the  transaction.  In  some  cases,  you  may  be  asked  to 
provide identification. If our system is not working, we may not be able to 
authorize a transaction, even though you have sufficient credit available. 
Also, for security reasons, we may block the use of your Card in certain 
countries or geographic areas. We will have no liability to you or others if 
any of these events occur.  

Personal  Identification  Number  (PIN).  We  may  issue  a  Personal 
Identification Number (PIN) for use with your Card. This PIN is confidential 
and should not be disclosed to anyone. You may use your PIN and your 
Card  to  access  your  account,  and  all  sums  advanced  will  be  added  to 
your  account  balance.  In  the  event  a  use  of  your  PIN  constitutes  an 
Electronic  Funds  Transfer,  the  terms  and  conditions  of  your  Electronic 
Funds Transfer Agreement may affect your rights.  

Promise  To  Pay.  You  promise  to  pay  us  in  U.S.  dollars  for  (a)  all 
purchases, cash advances, and balance transfers made by you or anyone 
whom you authorize to use the Card; (b) all Interest Charges and all other 
charges  or  fees;  (c)  collection  costs  and  attorney's  fees  as  permitted  by 
applicable law, and any costs incurred in the recovery of the Card; and (d) 
credit in excess of your credit limit that we may extend to you.   

Illegal  Transactions: You  agree  that  your  Card  and  account  will  not  be 
used  to  make  or  facilitate  any  illegal  transactions  as  determined  by 
applicable  law;  and  that  any  such  use  will  constitute  an  event  of  default 
under this Agreement. We may decline any transaction that we believe to 
be illegal under applicable law, including but not limited to any transaction 
involving or relating to any gambling activity. You agree that we will have 
no  liability  or  responsibility  for  any  such  use  by  you  or  any  authorized 
user(s);  or  for  declining  any  such  transaction.  You  further  agree  to 
indemnify  and  hold  us  harmless  from  any  suits,  liability,  damages  or 

adverse  action  of  any  kind  that  results  directly  or  indirectly  from  such 
illegal  use.  You  promise  to  pay  us  any  and  all  amounts  owing  on  your 
Card  for  any  transactions  made  by  you,  even  if  the  transaction  is 
determined to be illegal.  

Joint Accounts. Each of you will be responsible, jointly and severally, for 
the  repayment  of  amounts  owed,  regardless  of  who  initiated  any 
transaction under the account.  

Others  Using  Your  Account.  If  you  allow  anyone  else  to  use  your 
account,  you  will  be  liable  for  all  credit  extended  to  such  persons.  You 
promise  to  pay  for  all  purchases  and  advances  made  by  anyone  you 
authorize to use your account, whether or not you notify us that he or she 
will be using it. If someone else is authorized to use your account and you 
want to end that person's privilege, you must notify us in writing, and if he 
or she has a Card, you must return that Card with your written notice for it 
to be effective.   

Ownership  of  Card.  Your  Card  remains  our  property  and  may  be 
cancelled  by  us  at  any  time  without  notice. You  agree  to  surrender  your 
Card and to discontinue use of the account immediately upon our request. 

Interest  Charges.  You  agree  to  pay  interest  at  the  rate(s)  disclosed  to 
you at the time you open your account and as may be changed from time 
to time in accordance with applicable law Average Daily Balance including 
new  transactions:  Interest  Charges  will  accrue  on  your  average  daily 
balance outstanding during the month. To get the average daily balance, 
we  take  the  beginning  balance  each  day,  add  any  new  purchases,  cash 
advances,  balance  transfers  or  other  advances,  and  debit  adjustments 
and  subtract  any  unpaid  late  charges.  This  gives  us  the  daily  balance. 
Then, we add up all the daily balances for the billing cycle and divide that 
by  the  number  of  days  in  the  billing  cycle.  We  then  multiply  that  by  the 
periodic  rate  corresponding  to  the  Annual  Percentage  Rate  on  your 
account.  If  you  have  different  rates  for  purchases,  cash  advances  or 
balance  transfers,  separate  average  daily  balances  for  each  will  be 
calculated and the appropriate periodic rate is then applied to each. 

Grace  Period  on  Purchases  Only:  You  can  avoid  Interest  Charges  on 
purchases  by  paying  the  full  amount  of  the  new  balance  for  purchases 
each month by the date on which the payment is due. Otherwise, the new 
balance  of  your  account,  and  subsequent  advances  from  the  date  they 
are  posted  to  the  account,  will  be  subject  to  an  Interest  Charge.  You 
cannot  avoid  Interest  Charges  on  cash  advances  and  balance transfers; 
even  if  you  pay  the  entire  cash  advance  balance  or  balance  transfer 
balance  by  the  payment  due  date,  you  will  incur  the  Interest  Charges 
accrued from the date the cash advance or balance transfer is posted to 
your account.  

Fees.  In  addition  to  the  Interest  Charges  set  forth  above,  you  agree  to 
also pay any and all fees that you incur as disclosed to you on your Truth-
in-Lending  Statement  or  similar  disclosures  (as  may  be  amended  from 
time to time), or as disclosed to you during the term of your Card. ~ 

If Your Card is Lost or Stolen or if an Unauthorized Use Occurs. You 
agree  to  notify  us  immediately  if your  Card  is  ever  lost  or  stolen  or  if  an 
unauthorized use may have occurred. "Unauthorized use" means the use 
of the Card by someone other than you who does not have actual, implied 
or apparent authority for such use, and from which you receive no benefit. 
The telephone number to call is (800) 449-7728. You agree to follow up

your  call  with  notice  in  writing  to  us  at:  4451  Commercial  Drive,  New 
Hartford, NY 13413. You also agree to assist us in determining the facts, 
circumstances and other pertinent information relating to any loss, theft or 
possible unauthorized use of your Card and comply with such procedures 
as we may require in connection with our investigation. You will be liable 
for any unauthorized use only if we can prove that you were negligent in 
your use or handling of your Card, or if we can prove that you used your 
Card fraudulently. 

Minimum Payment Due; Crediting of Payments. Payments are due in 
the  amount  and  on  the  date  disclosed  on  your  billing  statement.  If  your 
payment is received by us on a business day at the address and by the 
time designated on the billing statement, it will be credited to your account 
on the date of receipt. If payment is made at any location other than the 
address  designated  on  the  periodic  statement,  credit  for  such  payment 
may be delayed up to five (5) days. Payments will be applied in any order 
we determine, subject to applicable law.  

Default;  Acceleration;  Credit  Suspension;  Collection  Costs.  You  will 
be in default if: (1) you fail to make any payment on time; (2) if you fail to 
keep any promises you have made under this Agreement or under other 
Agreements  you  have  with  us;  (3)  if  you  die;  (4)  if  you  file  a  petition  in 
bankruptcy  or  have  a  bankruptcy  petition  filed  against  you,  or  if  you 
become involved in any insolvency, receivership or custodial proceeding; 
(5)  if  anyone  attempts  to  take  any  of  your  funds  held  by  us  via  legal 
process or if you have a judgment or tax lien filed against you; (6) if you 
make  any  false,  inaccurate,  or  misleading  statements  in  any  credit 
application  or  credit  update;  or  (7)  if  we,  in  good  faith,  believe  that  your 
ability to repay what you owe is or soon will be impaired, or that you are 
unwilling to make your payments.  
If you are in default, we have the right to demand immediate payment of 
your full account balance without giving you notice. If immediate payment 
is demanded, you agree to continue paying interest charges and fees until 
what you owe has been paid, and any shares that were given as security 
for your account may be applied towards what you owe. You agree to pay 
all  reasonable  costs  of  collection,  including  court  costs  and  attorney's 
fees,  and  any  costs  incurred  in  the  recovery  of  the  Card,  subject  to 
applicable law. Even if your unpaid balance is less than your credit limit, 
you  will have no credit available during any time that any aspect of your 
account is in default.   

Suspension  of  electronic  services  and  access  to  share  or  deposit 
accounts.  Subject  to  applicable  law,  we  may  suspend  some  or  all 
electronic services and access to your checking or other account(s) if you 
become delinquent on any of your credit card or deposit obligations to us 
or you cause a loss to us. We shall not be liable to you in any regard in 
connection with such suspension of services. 

Additional  Benefits/Card  Enhancements.  We  may  from  time  to  time 
offer additional services to your Account at no additional cost to you. You 
understand  that  we  are  not  obligated  to  offer  such  services  and  may 
withdraw or change them at any time.   

Convenience  Checks.  We  may,  at  our  discretion,  issue  checks  to  you 
which  may  be  used  for  any  purpose  other  than  making  a  payment  for 
credit to your account. By signing such check, you authorize us to pay the 
item for the amount indicated and post such amount as a cash advance to 
your  account.  We  do  not  have  to  pay  any  item  which  would  cause  the 
outstanding balance in your account to exceed your credit limit.   

Credit  Information.  We  may  from  time  to  time  request  personal 
information  from  you  or  obtain  credit  reports  from  the  credit  reporting 
agencies  for  the  purpose  of  updating  your  credit  status.  Your  failure  to 
provide such information when requested by us may result in suspension 
of  credit  privileges  under  this  Agreement,  including  your  ability  to  obtain 
any future advances by any means. You authorize us to investigate your 
credit standing when opening or reviewing your account. You authorize us 
to  disclose  information  regarding  your  account  to  credit  bureau  and 
creditors who inquire about your credit standing.  

Foreign  Transactions;  Currency  Conversion.  Purchases  and  cash 
advances made in foreign currencies will be billed to you in U.S. dollars. 
The conversion rate in dollars will be a rate selected by the card company 
from  a  range  of  rates  available  in  wholesale  currency  markets  for  the

the  applicable  central  processing  date 

applicable central processing date, which rate may vary from the rate the 
card  company  itself  receives,  or  the  government-mandated  rate in  effect 
for 
instance.  All 
transactions  processed  outside  of  the  United  States  (which  may  include 
internet  transactions)  will  be  charged  a  foreign  transaction  fee  in  the 
amount disclosed on your Truth-in-Lending Statement (as amended from 
time to time).  

in  each 

Termination;  Change-in-Terms.  We  may,  by  written  notice,  terminate 
this Agreement at any time, subject to applicable law. You may terminate 
this  Agreement  by  written  notice.  Termination  by  either  party  shall  not 
affect  your  obligation  to  repay  any  payments  made  for  your  account 
resulting  from  use  of  the  Card  as  well  as  Interest  Charges  and  fees 
incurred.  We  may  change  the  terms  of  this  Agreement,  including  the 
method  of  calculating  the  periodic  rate,  at  any  time,  by  written  notice, 
subject  to  applicable  law.  Use  of  the  Card  constitutes  agreement  and 
acceptance  of  any  change  in  terms,  unless  applicable  law  requires 
otherwise.  Our  failure  to  exercise  any  of  our  rights  or  to  take  any  action 
shall not constitute a waiver of those rights, or an amendment or change 
in any of the terms of this Agreement.   

Late or Partial Payments. Any payment that delays the reduction of your 
balance  will  increase  your  total  interest  costs.  Partial  payments  or 
prepayments  will  not  delay  your  next  scheduled  payment  -  you  will  still 
need  to  make  the  minimum  scheduled  payment  by  the  next  scheduled 
due  date  to  keep  your  account  current.  We  may  accept  late  payments, 
partial  payments,  checks  or  money  orders  marked  "payment  in  full"  and 
such  action  shall  not  constitute  final  settlement  of  your  account  or  a 
waiver or forgiveness of any amounts owing under this Agreement.  

Enforcement.  We  do  not  lose  our  rights  under  this  or  any  related 
agreement  if  we  delay  enforcing  them.  If  any  provision  of  this  or  any 
related agreement is determined to be unenforceable or invalid, all other 
provisions remain in full force and effect.  

Returns  and  Adjustments.  Merchants  and  others  who  honor  the  Card 
may  give  credit  for  returns  or  adjustments,  and  they  will  do  so  by 
submitting a credit slip which will be posted to your account. If your credits 
and  payments  exceed  what  you  owe  us,  the  amount  will  be  applied 
against future purchases and cash advances. If the credit balance amount 
is $1 or more, it will be refunded upon your written or verbal request.  

Plan Merchant  Disputes. We  are  not  responsible  for  the  refusal of  any 
plan merchant or financial institution to honor your Card. Also, we are not 
responsible for goods or services that you purchase with the Card unless: 
(a) your purchase was made in response to an advertisement we sent or 
participated in sending you; or (b) your purchase cost more than $50 and 
was made from a plan merchant in your state or within 100 miles of your 
home;  and  only  if  you  have  made  a  good  faith  attempt,  but  have  been 
unable to obtain satisfaction from the plan merchant. You must resolve all 
other  disputes  directly  with  the  plan  merchant.  We  do  not  warrant  any 
merchandise or services purchased by you with the Card.  

Statements and Notices. Statements and notices will be mailed to you at 
the most recent postal address or e-mail address (if you have elected to 
receive such documents via electronic means) you have given us. Notice 
sent to any one of you will be considered notice to all.  

Notification  of  Address  Change.  You  will  notify  us  promptly  if  you 
change  your  address  for  any  reason.  In  order  to  prevent  identity  theft, 
your identity may need to be verified before we act upon the notification.  

Copy Received. You acknowledge that you have received a copy of this 
Agreement.   

Governing  Law.  This  Agreement  shall  be  construed  under  federal  law 
and state law in the state in which we are primarily located, and the venue 
shall be located in the county and state in which we are primarily located. 
Operating  regulations  of  Visa  may  also  apply.  This  Agreement  is  the 
contract  that  applies  to  all  transactions  even  though  the  sales,  cash 
advance, convenience check, credit or other slips you sign or receive may 
contain different terms.

IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES FOR ACTIVE MEMBERS OF THE MILITARY AND THEIR DEPENDENTS: 
The  following  applies  if  at the time  this  loan  is made  you  are  an  active member  of  the military  or  a dependent  (as  those terms  are  defined  in the 
Military Lending Act (MLA), 10 U.S.C. 987 and its implementing regulations (<MLA=)), and (a) your loan is unsecured or secured by personal property 
or a vehicle that you did not purchase with the proceeds of the loan; or (b) it is otherwise determined by law that the MLA applies to your loan. If this 
loan is a revolving line of credit or credit card, the MLA ceases to apply at any time during which you are not a member of the military or a dependent 
(as defined in the MLA). 
1.  NOTICE:  Federal  law  provides  important  protections  to  members  of  the  Armed  Forces  and  their  dependents  relating  to  extensions  of 
consumer credit. In general, the cost of consumer credit to a member of the Armed Forces and his or her dependent may not exceed an annual 
percentage  rate  of  36  percent.  This  rate  must  include,  as  applicable  to  the  credit  transaction  or  account:  the  costs  associated  with  credit 
insurance premiums or debt protection fees; fees for ancillary products sold in connection with the credit transaction; any application fee charged 
(other  than  certain  application  fees  for  specified  credit  transactions  or  accounts);  and  any  participation  fee  charged  (other  than  certain 
participation fees for a credit card account).  To receive this notice verbally, please call 315-735-8571 or toll-free at 1-800-735-8571 during our 
normal business hours. 

2.  This loan will not be secured by a consensual lien on shares or deposits in any of your accounts unless you agree to establish an account in 
connection with this loan (<Secured Account=). Only funds deposited into the Secured Account after the loan is made will secure this loan. Any 
cross-collateralization  provision  contained  in  your  loan  or  account  documents  will  not  apply  to  the  Secured  Account  or  your  other  share  or 
deposit accounts for any loan subject to the Military Lending Act. 
However, we reserve our statutory lien rights and rights to set-off or administrative freeze under federal or state law, which gives us the right to 
apply the sums in the Secured Account or any other account(s) you have with us to satisfy your obligations under this loan. 

3.  Any  reference  in  this  consumer  credit  contract  to  the  following  are  hereby  inapplicable  to  your  loan:  (a)  Mandatory  arbitration;  (b)  Any 
requirement(s) to waive your rights to legal recourse under any applicable state or federal law; (c) Any demands or requirements construed as 
unreasonable notice from you in order to exercise your legal rights; or (d) Prepayment penalties. 

4.  Any  provisions  in  your  consumer  credit  contract,  loan,  security,  or  account  agreements  that  are  determined  to  be  inconsistent  with  or 
contradictory to these disclosures or the MLA (as they may be changed or amended from time to time) are inapplicable with regard to this loan. 
However, all other terms and conditions of the consumer credit contract shall remain in full force and effect. 

BILLING RIGHTS NOTICE 

Your Billing Rights: Keep this Document for Future Use 
This  notice  tells  you  about  your  rights  and  our  responsibilities  under  the 
Fair Credit Billing Act. 

What To Do If You Find A Mistake On Your Statement  
If  you  think  there  is  an  error  on  your  statement,  write  to  us  at  the 
address(es) listed on your statement.  
In your letter, give us the following information:  
1.  Your name and account number. 
2.  The dollar amount of the suspected error. 
3. 

If  you  think  there  is  an  error  on  your  bill,  describe  what  you 
believe is wrong and why you believe it is a mistake. 

You must contact us: 

  Within 60 days after the error appeared on your statement.  
  At  least  3  business  days  before  an  automated  payment  is 
scheduled, if you want to stop payment on the amount you think 
is wrong. 

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  potential  errors  and  you 
may have to pay the amount in question.  

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 the address(es) listed on your 
statement. 
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.~
