This is your Consumer Credit Card Agreement (<Agreement=) with Cedar Hill National Bank (CHNB). This Agreement governs the use of your Cato 
Credit Card Account.   Your handwritten, electronic, or digital signature on the application indicates that you agree to comply with the terms in this 
Agreement.  The information about the costs of the card described in this Agreement is accurate as of December 2018.  This information may have 
changed after that date.  To find out what may have changed, write to us at CHNB, PO Box 34216, Charlotte, NC 28234. 

1. AGREEMENT TERMS. The word Card refers to any credit cards issued to you or to an authorized user by Cedar Hill National Bank. The word
Account refers to your Cato Credit Card Account. The words <you,= <your,= and <yours= refer to you, the Cardholder, and any person or persons who also
are contractually liable under this Agreement. The words <we,= <us,= and <our= refer to Cedar Hill National Bank and any person or entity to whom or to
which this Agreement may be assigned.
2. ACCEPTANCE OF AGREEMENT. The use of your Account or the Card by you or anyone whom you authorize or permit to use your Account or
the Card means you accept this Agreement.
3. USE OF YOUR ACCOUNT AND THE CARD. You agree that you will only use your Account or the Card for personal, family, and household
purposes. You may use your Account or the Card at any Cato, It9s Fashion, or It9s Fashion Metro store. Prior to use, each Card must be signed by the
person to whom it is issued.
4. PROMISE TO PAY. You agree to pay us in U.S. Dollars for all purchases, including applicable Interest Charges and other charges or fees, incurred
by you or anyone you authorize or permit to use your Account or the Card, even if you do not notify us that others are using your Account or the Card. All
checks must be drawn on funds on deposit in the U.S. We can accept late payments or partial payments or checks and money orders marked <payment
in full= without losing any of our rights under this agreement.
5.
INTEREST CHARGES. If the payments and credits in any billing period are less than the Previous Balance shown on your monthly statement for
that period, Interest Charges will begin to accrue on the first day of that billing period.  Partial payments made on balances that were subject to a grace
period will be credited as of the first day in the billing cycle.
The Interest Charge will be computed as follows:  We will take the balance on your account at the beginning of each day of your billing period. To this
beginning balance (including any unpaid Interest Charges and unpaid late fees) we will add any new purchases and fees and we will subtract any new
payments and credits. This is the Daily Balance.
The Daily Balances for each day of the billing period are added together and divided by the number of days in the billing period. This gives us the
Average Daily Balance.  To the Average Daily Balance, we will apply the monthly periodic rate of 1.9083% (Corresponding annual percentage rate
22.9%) to determine the Interest Charge.
6. A MINIMUM INTEREST CHARGE.  We will charge you a minimum Interest Charge of $1 for any Billing Cycle in which an Interest Charge of less
than $1 could otherwise be charged.
7. MONTHLY STATEMENTS; BILLING CYCLES. We will send you a statement after each monthly Billing Cycle in which you have a debit or credit
balance, an Interest Charge is imposed, or applicable law requires us to send a Statement. The Statement will show the Previous Balance, Payments
and Credits, Purchases, Interest Charges, other Fees and Charges, Payment Due Date, New Balance and Minimum Payment Due. Purchases will be
identified by the amount and date of the transaction, and an abbreviated merchandise description.  A Billing Cycle means the days between Statement
Closing Dates.
8. METHODS OF PAYMENT.   You may at any time pay the entire New Balance shown on your billing statement, but each month you must pay at
least the Minimum Payment Due.  All payments must be mailed or delivered to us at the address shown on your monthly billing statement.  All payments
will be applied in the following order:  Interest Charges and other charges or fees and purchases in the order made.
9. MINIMUM MONTHLY PAYMENT. If your 8New Balance9 is $200 or less, your minimum monthly payment is $10.00 or the balance whichever is
less.   If your account balance is greater than  $200, the minimum monthly payment is 5% of the New Balance  The minimum payment will include any
past due amounts or payment shortfalls rounded up to the next highest dollar.
10. CREDIT LIMIT.  We may increase or decrease your available credit from time to time.  We have the right at any time to limit or terminate the use of

  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: 

The charge in question may remain on your statement, and we may continue to charge you interest on that amount. 

  We cannot try to collect the amount in question, or report you as delinquent 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 to not 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: 
Cedar Hill National Bank 
PO Box 34216, Charlotte, NC 28234 
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.
