SECTION II: RATES, FEES AND PAYMENT INFORMATION 
“R”US CREDIT CARD ACCOUNT AGREEMENT

How Interest is Calculated

Your Interest Rate

We  use  a  daily  rate  to  calculate  the  interest  on  the  balance  on  your  account  each  day.  The  daily  rate  for 
purchases  is  the  APR  times  1/365.  The  daily  rate  for  purchases  is  .07395%  (APR  26.99%).  Interest  will  be 
imposed in amounts or at rates not in excess of those permitted by applicable law.

When We Charge Interest 

We charge interest on your purchases from the date you make the purchase until you pay the purchase in full. 
See exceptions below.

•	 We	will	not	charge	you	interest	during	a	billing	cycle	on	any	purchases	if:

1. You had no balance at the start of the billing cycle; OR

2.  You had a balance at the start of the billing cycle and you paid that balance in full by the due date in that 

billing cycle.

	•	 	We	will	credit,	as	of	the	start	of	the	billing	cycle,	any	payment	you	make	by	the	due	date	that	we	allocate	to	

purchases	if:

1. You had no balance at the start of the previous billing cycle; OR

2.  You had a balance at the start of the previous billing cycle and you paid that balance in full by the due date 

in the previous billing cycle.

How We Calculate Interest

How Fees Work 

Late Payment Fee 

We figure the interest charge on your account separately for each balance type. We do this by applying the 
daily rate to the daily balance for each day in the billing cycle. A separate daily balance is calculated for the 
following	 balance	 types,	 as	 applicable:	 purchases	 and	 balances	 subject	 to	 different	 interest	 rates,	 plans	 or	
special promotions. See below for how this works.

  1.  How to get the daily balance. We take the starting balance each day, add any new charges and fees, 
and subtract any payments or credits. This gives us the daily balance. We apply fees to balance types as 
follows:

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

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

  2. How to get the daily interest amount. We multiply each daily balance by the daily rate that applies.

  3.  How to get the starting balance for the next day. We add the daily interest amount in step 2 to the daily 

balance from step 1.

  4.  How to get the interest charge for the billing cycle. We add all the daily interest amounts that were charged 

during the billing cycle.

We charge a minimum of $2.00 of interest in any billing cycle in which you owe interest. This charge is added 
proportionately to each balance type.

We will charge this fee if we do not receive the total minimum payment due on your account by 5 p.m. (ET) on 
the	due	date.	This	fee	is	equal	to:

  1. $25, if you have paid 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 your total minimum payment due by the due date in any one or more of the 

prior six billing cycles.

The late payment fee will not be more than the total minimum payment that was due.

Minimum Payment Calculation 

Your total minimum payment is calculated as follows.

The	greater	of:

1.	The	greater	of:

 $25, or $35 (which includes any past due amounts) if you have failed to pay 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:

a.  Any past due amounts; PLUS

b.  1% of your new balance shown on your billing statement; PLUS

c.  Any late payment fees charged in the current billing cycle; PLUS

d.  All interest charged in the current billing cycle; PLUS

e.  Any payment due in connection with a special promotional purchase with a unique payment calculation.

We round up to the next highest whole dollar in figuring your total minimum payment. Your total minimum payment will never be more than your new balance.

Special Promotional Financing Offer Information

At  times,  we  may  offer  you  special  financing  promotions  for  certain  transactions  (“special  promotions”).  The  terms  of  this  Agreement  apply  to  any  special 
promotion. However, any special promotional terms that are different than the terms in this Agreement will be explained on promotional advertising or other

account when the promotional purchase is made.

•	 No Interest if Paid in Full Within 18 Months

At the time your account is opened, the Purchase APR is 26.99%.

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.

RESOLVING A DISPUTE WITH ARBITRATION 

PLEASE  READ  THIS  SECTION  CAREFULLY.  IF  YOU  DO  NOT  REJECT  IT,  THIS  SECTION  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.

•	What	claims	are	subject	to	arbitration

1.  If either you or we make a demand for arbitration, you and we must arbitrate any dispute or claim between you or any other user of your account, 

and	us,	our	affiliates,	agents	and/or	Toys“R”Us-Delaware,	Inc.	if	it	relates	to	your	account,	except	as	noted	below.	

2.		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) a case we file to collect money you owe us. However, if you respond to the collection lawsuit by claiming any wrongdoing, 
we may require you to arbitrate.

3.  Notwithstanding any other language in this section, only a court, not an arbitrator, will decide disputes about the validity, enforceability, coverage 
or scope of this section or any part thereof (including, without limitation, the next paragraph of this section and/or this sentence). However, any 
dispute or argument that concerns the validity or enforceability of the Agreement as a whole is for the arbitrator, not a court, to decide.

•	No	Class	Actions

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 ACCOUNTHOLDER WHO IS 
NOT AN ACCOUNTHOLDER ON YOUR ACCOUNT, AND YOU AGREE THAT ONLY ACCOUNTHOLDERS ON YOUR ACCOUNT MAY BE 
JOINED IN A SINGLE ARBITRATION WITH ANY CLAIM YOU HAVE. 

If a court determines that this paragraph is not fully enforceable, only this sentence will remain in force and the remainder will be null and void, and 
the	court’s	determination	shall	be	subject	to	appeal.	This	paragraph	does	not	apply	to	any	lawsuit	or	administrative	proceeding	filed	against	us	by	
a state or federal government agency even when such agency is seeking relief on behalf of a class of borrowers, including you. This means that we 
will not have the right to compel arbitration of any claim brought by such an agency.

•	How	to	start	an	arbitration,	and	the	arbitration	process

1.  The  party  who  wants  to  arbitrate  must  notify  the  other  party  in  writing.  This  notice  can  be  given  after  the  beginning  of  a  lawsuit  or  in   
papers  filed  in  the  lawsuit.  Otherwise,  your  notice  must  be  sent  to  GE  Capital  Retail  Bank,  Legal  Operation,  P.O.  Box  29110,   
Shawnee	Mission,	KS	66201,	ATTN:	ARBITRATION	DEMAND.	The	party	seeking	arbitration	must	select	an	arbitration	administrator,	which	can	
be	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	administrator	is	able	or	willing	to	handle	the	
dispute, then the court will appoint an arbitrator. 

2.		If	 a	 party	 files	 a	 lawsuit	 in	 court	 asserting	 claim(s)	 that	 are	 subject	 to	 arbitration	 and	 the	 other	 party	 files	 a	 motion	 with	 the	 court	 to	 compel	

arbitration, which is granted, it will be the responsibility of the party asserting the claim(s) to commence the arbitration proceeding. 

3.  The arbitration administrator will appoint the arbitrator and will tell the parties what to do next. The arbitrator must be a lawyer with at least ten 
years of legal experience. Once appointed, the arbitrator must apply the same law and legal principles, consistent with the FAA, that would apply 
in court, but may use different procedural rules. If the administrator’s rules conflict with this Agreement, this Agreement will control. 

	
 
	
 
	
	
 
	
 
4.  The arbitration will take place by phone or at a reasonably convenient location. If you ask us to, we will pay all the fees the administrator or 
arbitrator charges, as long as we believe you are acting in good faith. We will always pay arbitration costs, as well as your legal fees and costs, 
to the extent you prevail on claims you assert against us in an arbitration proceeding which you have commenced.

•	Governing	Law	for	Arbitration

 This Arbitration section of your Agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA). Utah law shall apply to the extent state law is relevant 
under	the	FAA.	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.

•	How	to	reject	this	section

 You	may	reject	this	Arbitration	section	of	your	Agreement.	If	you	do	that,	only	a	court	may	be	used	to	resolve	any	dispute	or	claim.	To	
reject	this	section,	you	must	send	us	a	notice	within	60	days	after	you	open	your	account	or	we	first	provided	you	with	your	right	to	
reject	this	section.	The	notice	must	include	your	name,	address	and	account	number,	and	must	be	mailed	to	GE	Capital	Retail	Bank,	
P.O.	Box	965012,	Orlando,	FL	32896-5012.	This	is	the	only	way	you	can	reject	this	section.
