HOW TO USE YOUR CARD AND ACCESS YOUR ACCOUNT
1. Card Transactions, Purchases and Cash Advances. You may use your Account
and your Card to make a Purchase or obtain a Cash Advance by presenting your Card or your 
Account number to participating merchants and establishments where the Card is honored. We 
will also treat as a Cash Advance any transaction using Ready Reserve Overdraft Protection.

You may also use your Card to transfer balances from other creditors, to make other 
transactions by means of balance transfer coupons or checks, or for any other transactions 
that we encourage you to make through an introductory or promotional offer, in accordance 
with the additional terms and conditions that we may offer from time to time. Unless we tell 
you otherwise, we will also treat any such balance transfer or other transaction as a Purchase. 

You agree that any debt incurred using your Account or your Card is valid, regardless of the 
purpose of the Transaction. Purchases from a merchant that are directly convertible to cash 
(sometimes called “quasi-cash” transactions), such as purchases of casino gaming chips, 
lottery tickets, money orders, wire transfer services, travelers cheques or foreign currency, 
may not be permitted with your Card.  In the event it is permitted, it will be treated as a 
Cash Advance.  You may not use your Card or your Account for any illegal transaction or any 
gambling transaction. We reserve the right to decline any such transaction without notice. 

Unless prohibited by Applicable Law, we may, from time to time, limit the type, number and 
dollar amounts of any Transactions, even if you have sufficient available credit. We may also 
terminate or suspend your use of your Account and Card and access to your Account without 
notice unless prohibited by Applicable Law.

2. Credit Limit. We will inform you of your credit limit from time to time. You must keep
your Account balance below your credit limit. If you do not, you must still pay us. We may 
designate part of your credit limit as a cash advance limit. We may increase or decrease your 
credit limit or your cash advance limit at any time, without notice. Your available credit may 
not be restored for up to 7 days after we receive your payment.

3. Secured Cards. If you have applied and been approved for a Secured Card, you
have granted us a security interest in the funds, including any funds deposited following 
the effective date of this Agreement, in your Secured Bank Account. You acknowledge that 
you specifically intended to grant us the security interest in all funds in the Secured Bank 
Account, that this security interest is an express condition for your Account and that funds 

in your Secured Bank Account must remain on deposit during the term of this Agreement 
in accordance with the separate Secured Bank Account disclosure provided to you in the 
application you completed. You agree to sign all applications and documents that we may 
request from time to time that show that you have granted and assigned to us the security 
interest in the Secured Bank Account.

Although we may post payments as of the date we receive them, your Available Credit 
Limit may not be restored for up to 7 days after we receive your payment. If the Minimum 
Payment Due is to be automatically deducted from your checking or savings account with us, 
you agree to have on deposit in that account on the Payment Due Date available funds equal 
to the Minimum Payment Due.

If you do not pay your Account balance or you or we decide to close your Account for any 
reason, you authorize us to apply all of the funds in the Secured Bank Account to your 
outstanding Account balance. If the outstanding Account balance exceeds the amount of 
funds in your Secured Bank Account, you will remain liable for any outstanding Account 
balances, including all fees or charges that may subsequently be charged to the Account, 
until the Account balance is paid in full.

4. Convenience Checks. We may issue Convenience Checks to you, which may be used 
to access your Account. We will treat any Convenience Check issued to you that we pay as a 
Cash Advance (except for a Convenience Check issued to you as part of a promotional offer 
which, unless we tell you otherwise, will be treated as a Purchase), and we will deduct the 
amount of the Convenience Check from your Cash Advance credit limit. Each Convenience 
Check must be denominated in U.S. dollars and completed and signed by you in the same 
manner as a personal check. If we provide you with Convenience Checks for your Account, 
you may not use them to pay any amount you owe on your Account. You may not request, 
and we will not honor, a stop payment on any Convenience Check. We reserve the right to 
return any Convenience Check unpaid if (a) the amount of the Convenience Check exceeds 
your Cash Advance credit limit; (b) your Account is not in good standing or you are otherwise 
in default of this Agreement; (c) your Card or Convenience Checks have been reported 
lost or stolen or your Account may have been subject to unauthorized use; (d) you use 
a Convenience Check to pay any amount you owe on your Account; or (e) for any other 
reason. We will not be liable if we choose to return any Convenience Check unpaid.

5. Unauthorized Use. You must notify us immediately and assist us in our 
investigation if your Card is lost or stolen or you believe someone is using your Account  
or a Card without your permission. If you notice the loss or theft of your Card or a possible 
unauthorized use of your Card or Account, you should contact us immediately at  
877-833-6197, Monday through Friday 7 AM to 8 PM (EST) or Saturday 8:30 AM  
to 5 PM (EST). Outside of these hours, contact us at 800-972-3030.

6. Third-Party Claims or Defenses. We are not responsible if a third party refuses 
to accept or honor your Card or Account, even if you have sufficient available credit. Except 
as required by Applicable Law, we will not be responsible for any claim or defense you may 
have against any third party that arises out of or in connection with any Transaction with your 
Account or Card or any services or goods or other property purchased or leased using your 
Account or Card.

PAYING YOUR BILLS
7. Periodic Account Statements. Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, we 
will send you an Account Statement. Unless you make other arrangements with us, your 
Account Statement will be mailed to you by regular mail to your address as it appears on 
our records.

We will send your Account Statement for each Billing Cycle at the end of which your Account 
has a debit or credit balance in excess of $1.00 or on which an interest charge has been 
imposed. Generally, you will receive 12 Account Statements each year your Account is open.  
We will not send your Account Statement if (a) we deem your Account uncollectible,  
(b) delinquency collection proceedings have been instituted, or (c) for any other reason 
permitted by Applicable Law. 

Payment Instructions: We credit your payments in accordance with the terms on your 
statement. If you mail your payment to an address other than the payment address shown 
on your statement, there may be a delay in crediting the payment to your Account. We can 
accept late payments, partial payments or payments marked “payment in full,” or with any 
other restrictive endorsement, without losing any of our rights under this Agreement.  You 
must pay us in U.S. dollars in funds on deposit in the U.S. If you do not, we may refuse to 
accept your payment. We may also charge you the costs we incurred to collect the funds and 
we may select the currency conversion rate. 

8. Minimum Payment Due. Your payment is due on or before the Payment Due Date 
shown on your Account Statement. You must pay at least the Minimum Payment Due shown 
on your Account Statement on a monthly basis, which will be the greater of (a) 2% of the 
New Balance, (b) 0.5% of the New Balance plus total billed interest charges and any fees, 
or (c) $35.00. Any New Balance less than $35 is payable in full. The Minimum Payment 
Due shown on your Account Statement will also include any amount past due and any amount 
by which your Account exceeds its credit limit. 

2

How We Apply Payments. We apply payments up to the Minimum Payment Due at 
our discretion. This may result in balances at lower APRs being paid before other balances. This 
may also result in higher interest charges. Payments in excess of the Minimum Payment Due 
will be applied consistent with law.

Automatic Billing. You may set up automatic billing with a merchant. If your Account 
Number or expiration date changes, you authorize us to provide the merchant with this 
information at our discretion. To stop automatic billing, you must contact the merchant directly.

9. Prepayment. You may pay without penalty any portion of the entire New Balance or 
more than your Minimum Payment Due before the Payment Due Date. You understand that 
by making a prepayment, the total amount you owe us will be reduced but that you must pay 
the Minimum Payment Due in successive Billing Cycles as reflected in your Account Statement.

DETERMINATION OF INTEREST CHARGES
10. Daily Periodic Rate. We determine the Daily Periodic Rate by dividing the 
applicable APR by 365 (366 if a leap year). 

11. Minimum Interest Charge. If you incur interest charges in any Billing Cycle that 
total less than $1.00, the interest charge that will be charged to your Account is $1.00, 
if interest plus any Cash Advance Fees, Balance Transfer Fees, Convenience Check Fees and 
International Transaction Fees are less than $1.00.

12. Annual Percentage Rate (APR). 
(a) APR for Purchases, Balance Transfers and Cash Advances. Documents accompanying  
your Card, which are incorporated by reference into this Agreement, disclose the APR for 
Purchases, Balance Transfers and Cash Advances in effect when your Account is opened.  
Variable APR for Purchases and Balance Transfers. If the APR for Purchases and 
Balance Transfers is a variable rate based on the Prime Rate plus a margin, we will calculate 
the rate daily by adding the applicable margin for those Transactions to the Prime Rate. (A 
“margin” is the percentage we add to the Prime Rate to calculate the APR.) This APR may 
vary (increase and decrease), but will not exceed 29.99% (corresponding Daily Periodic 
Rate of 0.08216%). Any increase or decrease in the Prime Rate will result in an increase 
or decrease in your Daily Periodic Rate and the APR, and as a result, the interest charge and 
the Minimum Payment Due will change and may result in a smaller part of your payment 
being applied to reduce principal. We determine the Prime Rate two business days prior to the 
closing date of your Billing Cycle. Changes to the Daily Periodic Rate and corresponding APR 
for Purchases and Balance Transfers will be applied to your existing Account balance and to 
subsequent Transactions effective as of the first day of the Billing Cycle in which we determine 
the interest rate. If The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) does not publish the prime rate, or if it 
changes the definition of Prime Rate, we may, at our sole discretion, substitute another index.

(b) For existing Fixed Rate Secured Card, Mastercard and Visa customers. If your billing 
statement does not include a ‘v’ in the Interest Charge Calculation section, your account carries 
a fixed rate. A Non-Variable Daily Periodic Interest Rate and corresponding APR will apply to all 
Transactions. The Non-Variable Interest Rate in effect on your account is listed in this Interest 
Charge Calculation Section.  

(c) Changes to Rates. Subject to Applicable Law, we may change the Daily Periodic Rate 
and corresponding APR for Purchases, Balance Transfers and Cash Advances if you are in 
default of this Agreement, or if we, in our sole discretion and from time to time, decide to 
take such action.

(d) Introductory Purchase, Balance Transfer and Promotional APR Offers. At our discretion, we 
may offer you an introductory or promotional APR for all or a part of your Transactions. For 
example, we may offer you a promotional APR to encourage specific transactions, such as 
transferring balances from accounts you have with others, or an introductory APR for Purchases 
when you open an Account. The period of time for which the introductory or promotional APR 
applies may be limited. Any introductory or promotional APR offer will be subject to the terms 
of the offer and this Agreement. If applicable, we will disclose information regarding any 
introductory or promotional APRs and the period of time during which they are in effect in the 
document that accompanies your Card or in materials we send you about the offer after you 
obtain your Card. If (i) we receive a Minimum Payment Due after its Payment Due Date; (ii) 
your total outstanding balance exceeds your Account credit limit on the closing date of a Billing 
Cycle; or (iii) (A) a check, similar instrument or electronic payment order that you have used 
for payment on your Account has been returned to us unpaid for any reason, (B) we must 

return a check or other instrument because it is not signed or is otherwise incomplete, or (C) a 
Convenience Check used to access your Account is not honored for any reason, we may adjust 
the APR to the APR then in effect, as applicable.

13. Balance Subject to Interest Charge and Interest Charges. 
(a) Interest Charge Calculation. We impose interest on your Account using the average 
daily balance method (including new transactions). To calculate interest we first calculate a 
separate daily balance for each balance on your Account. (For example current purchases, 
balance transfers, cash advances, and different promotional balances. Your balances are 
shown on your statement.) To calculate the daily balance, we start with the balance at 
the end of the previous day, which includes any unpaid interest charges on that balance. 
(This results in compounding of interest.) We add any new transactions, interest, or fees 
and subtract any new credits or payments allocated to that balance, and make other 
adjustments.  

We treat a daily balance less than zero as a balance of zero. We add a transaction to the 
daily balance as of the transaction date. We add a transaction fee to the same balance as 
the transaction. We generally add other fees to the current purchase balance.  

For each balance, we add up all the daily balances and divide by the number of days in 
the billing cycle. This gives us the Average Daily Balance for that balance. To calculate the 
total interest for each balance, we then multiply the average daily balance by its daily 
periodic rate and the number of days in the billing cycle. The daily periodic rate equals the 
APR divided by 365 (366 if a leap year). You authorize us to round interest charges to the 
nearest cent.  

We may use mathematical formulas that produce equivalent results to calculate the Balance 
Subject to Interest Rate, interest charges and related amounts.

(b) Interest Charges. No interest charges (other than International Transaction Fees) will be 
imposed on Purchases if you pay in full the New Balance shown on the Account Statement 
for your Current Billing Cycle by the Payment Due Date. If you have not done so, an 
interest charge will accrue from the transaction date on Purchases at the applicable APR for 
Purchases until the date payment in full is posted to your Account.

An interest charge will be imposed on Cash Advances from the Transaction date and included 
in the average daily balance of Cash Advances at the applicable APR for Cash Advances until 
the date payment in full is posted to your Account. There is no grace period or time period 
within which to pay and avoid an interest charge on Cash Advances.

The total interest charge for a Billing Cycle is the sum of the interest charges for Purchases 
and Cash Advances. To compute the periodic rate portion of interest charges for your Current 
Billing Cycle, we multiply the average daily balance of each type of your Transactions in 
the Current Billing Cycle by the applicable Daily Periodic Rates for that cycle. Fees for Cash 
Advances and International Transactions, if any, are added to and included in the total 
interest charges for your Current Billing Cycle.

14. Fees.
Balance Transfer Fee. Unless your offer indicates otherwise, we will assess an interest 
charge in the form of a balance transfer fee equal to the greater of $5 or 4% of the total 
dollar amount of the balance you are transferring from another account to your Account.

Annual Fee. Certain cards have an annual fee. If your Card has an annual fee, the amount 
of the annual fee is disclosed in the application for your Account and also will be disclosed 
in the document that accompanies your Card. This fee is assessed for the use of the Account 
and associated services, and will be identified as a fee on your Account Statement in the first 
Billing Cycle after you open your Account and annually thereafter.

Cash Advance Fee. We will assess an interest charge in the form of a Cash Advance 
fee equal to the greater of $5 or 4% of the total dollar amount advanced for each Cash 
Advance on your Account.

Late Payment Fee. If you do not pay the Minimum Payment Due by the Payment Due 
Date, we will charge you a late fee. The fee is $27, unless you incurred a late fee during 
any of the prior six billing cycles. If you did, the fee is $38. This fee will not exceed the 
amount permitted by law.

International Transaction Fee. There is an interest charge in the form of a 
transaction fee equal to 3% of the U.S. dollar amount of each Foreign Transaction.
Expedited Card Delivery Fee. There is a delivery fee of $30 per Account if delivery of 
your Card is expedited.

Convenience Check Fee. Unless your offer indicates otherwise, we will assess an 
interest charge in the form of a convenience check fee equal to the greater of $5 or 
4% of the total dollar amount of each convenience check used.

We may institute a standard charge or charges for the issuance, reissuance or use of the Card 
or for the reinstatement of any Card or Account privileges which have been suspended, as well 
as an annual fee and per item fee for each Transaction, and you agree to pay us such charges 
and fees.

15. Foreign Currency Transactions. If a Transaction is made in a foreign currency, 
we and Mastercard or Visa, depending on which Card is used, will convert the Transaction 
into a U.S. dollar amount. Mastercard and Visa will act in accordance with their operating 
regulations or conversion procedures in effect at the time the Transaction is processed. 
Currently, their regulations and procedures provide that the currency conversion rate used is 
either: (1) a wholesale market rate, or (2) a government-mandated rate in effect one day 
prior to the processing date. The currency conversion rate calculated in this manner that is in 
effect on the processing date may differ from the rate in effect on the transaction date or the 
posting date.

GENERAL PROVISIONS
16. Accepting this Agreement. This Agreement will be effective on either the date  
you sign or otherwise submit an application for the Account that we approve or the date 
you use, or someone you authorized uses, the Card or the Account, whichever is earlier. 
You agree that by using the Account or the Card, signing an Account application or other 
Account document or otherwise accepting the Account or the Card, you accept the terms and 
conditions of this Agreement.

17. Promise to Pay. By using your Card or your Account, you promise to pay us for all 
Transactions made on your Account, as well as any fees, interest charges or other charges.   
If this is a joint account, each of you, together and individually, is responsible for all amounts 
owed, even if only one of you uses the Account.

18. Your Responsibility. You are responsible for all Transactions and other amounts 
posted to your Account arising from the authorized use of your Account or Card. If you 
have authorized another person to use your Account or Card in any way, we will deem 
your authorization to include the authorization to make Transactions of any kind using your 
Account or Card and to incur related fees and charges. We will also deem your authorization 
to continue until you revoke it by preventing that person from using your Account or Card. 
We are not responsible for controlling any person whom you have asked us to add to your 
Account or someone you let use your Account or Card. You should think carefully before 
allowing anyone to become an authorized user on your Account because you are allowing 
that person to use the Account as you can. If you wish to remove that person’s ability to use 
your Account or Card, you must notify us in writing. This notice will not be effective until we 
receive and have had a reasonable opportunity to act on it.

OUR RIGHTS AND HOW THEY AFFECT YOU
19. Delays in Enforcement. We can delay enforcing or not enforce any of our rights 
under this Agreement without losing our right to enforce them in the future. For example, 
we may accept late payments or payments that are marked “payment in full” or with other 
restrictive endorsements without losing any of our rights under this Agreement.

20. Termination. Subject to Applicable Law, we may terminate this Agreement or revoke 
your right to use your Account or Card, along with your right to make future Transactions, at

at 800-972-3030, or writing to us at Fifth Third Bank, MD: 1MOC2G, 5050 Kingsley Drive,  
Cincinnati, Ohio 45227. Any request to terminate your Account will be effective after 
we have had a reasonable opportunity to act on such request. The termination of this 
Agreement, whether initiated by us or you, will not affect any of your or our rights and 
obligations under this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated, you must still repay any 
amounts you owe us, even if we allow a Transaction to be completed with your Account 
or Card after this Agreement has been terminated. You agree to give to us or to destroy 
all of the Cards issued on your Account when we ask you to or when this Agreement is 
terminated. If someone attempts to use a Card after this Agreement is terminated, the Card 
may be retained. A Card also may be retained when you try to use it when certain other

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 disclosure by phone, please call 
877-899-0815, option 4.

Law, if your Account is sent for collection to an attorney who is not our salaried employee. 
We will not be obligated to honor any attempted use of your Card or your Account if your 
Account is in default, or we have decided to terminate your Account or limit your ability to 
make Transactions as discussed in this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided for in this 
Agreement, interest charges will continue to accrue at the APR in effect at the time of default 
until your total Account balance, including such accrued interest charges, is paid in full. You 
agree that, subject to Applicable Law, if your Account is in default under this Agreement, 
you will accept calls from us at your home and your place of business regarding collection of 
your Account. You understand and agree that the calls to your home may be automatically 
dialed and a recorded message may be played. You agree such calls will not be considered 
“unsolicited” calls or telemarketing calls for purposes of state or federal law.

23. Reevaluation of Financial Condition and Credit History. We may reevaluate
your financial condition and investigate any information you provided on your Account 
application at any time. In the course of doing so, we may obtain a current credit report and 
ask you for additional information about your financial condition by completing a Personal 
Financial Statement or such other form that we request from time to time. You give us your 
permission to obtain any information about you that we believe would be beneficial to facilitate 
our determination of your eligibility for the Account and the Card, including credit reports from 
consumer reporting agencies. We may, as a result of any such re-evaluation, (i) increase your 
credit line; (ii) decrease your credit line; or (iii) deem your Account to be in default.

ARBITRATION AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER

NOTE:  If you are a Covered Borrower under the Military Lending Act 
Regulations, you are not required to submit to arbitration in the case of 
a dispute.  
If you were a Covered Borrower under the Military Lending Act 
Regulations with regard to any prior agreement, this arbitration clause 
does not cover any claims related to that prior agreement.
29. Claim. Any claim, dispute or controversy between you and us arising from or relating
to this Agreement, any prior agreement that you may have had with us or the relationships 
resulting from the Agreement or any prior agreement, including the validity, enforceability 
or scope of this provision, the Agreement or any prior agreement. Claim includes claims of 
every kind and nature, including but not limited to initial claims, counterclaims, cross-claims 
and third-party claims and claims based upon contract, tort, fraud and other intentional 
torts, statute, common law and equity. The term Claim is to be given the broadest possible 
meaning and includes, by way of example and without limitation, any claim, dispute or 
controversy that arises from or relates to (a) the Account created by the Agreement or 
any prior agreement or any balances on the Account, (b) the Card, (c) the EFT services 
or Ready Reserve Overdraft Protection feature, (d) advertisements, promotions or oral or 
written statements related to the Card, the Account or the terms of financing, and (e) your 
use of the Card and the Account. 

If you are a Covered Borrower, you and we will only arbitrate if you choose to arbitrate. 
We cannot elect to arbitrate a Claim with a Covered Borrower.  If you are not a Covered 
Borrower, you and we each agree that any Claim will be arbitrated instead of litigated in 
court under the circumstances and procedures set forth below. If arbitration is elected, any 
Claim will be resolved pursuant to this provision and the American Arbitration Association 
(“AAA”) rules and procedures (“Rules”) in effect at the time the Claim is filed. (If for 
any reason the AAA is unable or unwilling or ceases to serve as arbitration administrator, 
another nationally recognized arbitration organization utilizing similar rules and procedures 
will be substituted by us.) 

With respect to Claims covered by this provision, if you have asserted a Claim in a lawsuit 
in court you may elect arbitration with respect to any Claim subsequently asserted in that 
lawsuit by any other party or parties. If we have asserted a Claim in a lawsuit in court, we 
may elect arbitration with respect to any Claim subsequently asserted in that lawsuit by 
any other party or parties, only if no other party is a Covered Borrower. 

IF ARBITRATION IS CHOSEN WITH RESPECT TO A CLAIM, NEITHER YOU NOR WE WILL HAVE 
THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE THAT CLAIM IN COURT OR HAVE A JURY TRIAL ON THAT CLAIM, 
OR TO ENGAGE IN PREARBITRATION DISCOVERY EXCEPT AS PROVIDED FOR IN THE AAA 
RULES. FURTHER, YOU WILL NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A REPRESENTATIVE 
OR MEMBER OF ANY CLASS OF CLAIMANTS PERTAINING TO ANY CLAIM SUBJECT TO 
ARBITRATION. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH BELOW, THE ARBITRATOR’S DECISION WILL BE FINAL 
AND BINDING. NOTE THAT OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO 
COURT MAY ALSO NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.

The AAA Rules and forms of the AAA may be obtained by calling 1-800-778-7879 or by 
visiting the AAA’s Web site at www.adr.org. All Claims must be filed at any AAA office.

There will be no authority for any Claims to be arbitrated on a class action basis. Any 
arbitration hearing that you attend will take place in the federal judicial district in which 
you reside. At your written request, we will temporarily advance up to $500 towards 
the filing, administrative and/or hearing fees for any Claim that you may file against 
us after you have paid an amount equivalent to the fee, if any, for filing such a Claim in 
state or federal court (whichever is less) in the judicial district in which you reside. At the 
conclusion of the arbitration, the arbitrator will decide who will ultimately be responsible 
for paying the filing, administrative and/or hearing fees in connection with the arbitration. 
Unless inconsistent with Applicable Law, each party will bear the expense of that party’s 
attorneys’, experts’ and witness fees, regardless of which party prevails in the arbitration.

This provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce and will be 
governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U. S. C. §§ 1 et seq., as amended  (“FAA”). 
The arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and applicable 
statutes of limitations and will honor claims of privilege recognized at law. Judgment upon 
the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The 
arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding, except for any right of appeal provided by 

the FAA and except that, if the amount in controversy exceeds $100,000, any party can 
appeal the award to a three-arbitrator panel administered by the AAA, which will reconsider 
de novo any aspect of the initial award requested by the appealing party. The decision 
of the panel will be by majority vote. The costs of such an appeal will be borne by the 
appealing party regardless of the outcome of the appeal.

As solely used in this provision, the terms we and us will for all purposes mean Fifth Third 
Bank, all of its parents, wholly- or majority-owned subsidiaries, affiliates, predecessors, 
successors and assigns, and all of their independent contractors, agents, employees, 
directors and representatives.

This provision will survive termination of your Account, as well as the repayment of all 
outstanding amounts incurred in connection with this Agreement. If any portion of this 
provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable under any law or statute consistent with 
the FAA, it will not invalidate the remaining portions of this arbitration provision or the 
Agreement. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the AAA Rules and this 
arbitration provision, this provision will govern.

30. Changes to this Agreement. Subject to Applicable Law, we can change this
Agreement at any time, regardless of whether you have access to your Account, by adding, 
deleting or modifying any provision (including increasing any rate of interest charge, 
increasing or adding fees or charges (including annual fees), changing the method of 
computing balances subject to interest charge, changing your Account credit limit, changing 
the date upon which interest charges begin to accrue, changing the Minimum Payment Due 
or limiting the number or amount of Transactions on your Account). Any such changes will 
generally be effective immediately unless we are required by Applicable Law to provide 
you with advance written notice of the proposed changes. If this is the case, those changes 
will be effective immediately following the effective date stated in the notice. Subject to 
Applicable Law, any such changes will apply to your outstanding Account balance on the 
effective date of the change and to any future balances created after that date. If we 
give you the right to reject a change (whether because it is required by Applicable Law or 
otherwise), and you do not notify us by the date stated in a notice, or if you notify us but 
then use your Account after the date stated in the notice, you will be deemed to accept 
all changes in the notice and to accept and confirm all terms of your Agreement and all 
changes in prior notices we have sent you regardless of whether you have access to your 
Account. If you reject a change that we make, we will close your Account. No change to 
any term of this Agreement will affect your obligation to pay all amounts you owe under 
this Agreement.

31. Waiver of Rights. Except as may be prohibited by Applicable Law, you agree to
waive any right you may have for us to act promptly in bringing any action(s) against you 
(known as diligence); to demand payments of amounts due (known as presentment); to 
obtain an official certification of non-payment (known as protest); and to give notice that 
amounts due will not be paid (known as notice of dishonor or notice of default and non-
payment).

32. Change of Address. We will rely on the address we have for you in our records for
any Account communications we send to you unless and until either you or the U.S. Postal 
Service notifies us of a change of address and we have had a reasonable opportunity to act 
on such notice. If your Account is a joint Account, each of you appoints the other as your 
agent to designate the address to which any and all Account communications, including the 
Account Statement, may be sent to you.

33. Correspondence. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, any communication
you send to us will not be effective until we receive it and have had a reasonable 
opportunity to act on it. Any communication we send to you will, however, be effective and 
deemed delivered when mailed to you at your address as it appears on our records.

34. Privacy Policy. You authorize us to share information about you and your Account as
permitted by law. See our Privacy Policy for details about our information sharing practices.

35. Assignment. You may not sell, assign or transfer your Account or Card or any of your
rights and obligations under this Agreement. We may, however, sell, assign or transfer your 
Account, or any balance due thereunder, and our rights and obligations under this Agreement 
to another entity without your consent and without prior notice. That entity will take our 
place in this Agreement.

36. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is deemed to be void or
unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, or any governmental agency, that 
provision will continue to be enforceable to the extent permitted by that court or agency, and 
the remainder of that provision will no longer be considered as part of this Agreement. All 
other provisions of this Agreement will, however, remain in full force and effect.

37. Governing Law. This Agreement is entered into between you and us in the State of
Ohio, and your Account and this Agreement, and any claim, dispute or controversy arising from 

5

or relating to your Account or this Agreement, whether based in contract, tort, fraud or 
otherwise and regardless of the place where you live, is governed by, and construed in 
accordance with, the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to Ohio’s conflict of laws 
principles, and applicable federal laws and regulations. The legality, enforceability and 
interpretation of this Agreement and the amounts contracted for under this Agreement 
also are governed by Ohio law and applicable provisions of federal law, and all amounts 
granted under this Agreement are extended from the State of Ohio.

38. Entire Agreement. You acknowledge that this Agreement, as amended
from time to time, and the documents accompanying your Card that apply to your 
Account, which are incorporated by reference into this Agreement, make up the 
entire agreement between you and us and supersedes and may not be contradicted 
by evidence of any prior or contemporaneous written or oral communications and  
understandings between you and us concerning the Account and the Card. Neither 
you nor we intend that anything in this Agreement should result in the assessment of 
fees or charges in excess of those permitted by Applicable Law. If any fee or charge 
assessed under this Agreement is finally determined to be in excess of that permitted 
by Applicable Law, the excess amount will be applied to reduce the outstanding 
balance in your Account or, if there is no outstanding balance, will be refunded to you. 
You agree that any documentation provided to you that indicates that a Transaction 
was made shall be admissible as evidence of such Transaction and shall be proof that 
such transaction or transfer was made.

39. Questions. If you have any questions about this Agreement or your Card,
please contact us at 800-972-3030.

40. Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Agreement are only
meant to organize this Agreement, and do not in any way limit or define your or our 
rights or obligations hereunder.

READY RESERVE OVERDRAFT PROTECTION, ELECTRONIC FUND 
TRANSFER AND ELECTRONIC BANKING SERVICES
41. Ready Reserve Overdraft Protection. You may set up this Account
to cover overdrafts on your checking Account. If you do, then the terms of this 
Agreement and the Deposit Account Rules & Regulations will apply. For purposes 
of this Agreement, Ready Reserve Overdraft Protection transactions will be treated 
as Cash Advances, subject to the Cash Advance APR. If you enroll in Ready Reserve 
Overdraft Protection, you may use your credit card to withdraw from your checking 
account at an ATM by entering your PIN and selecting withdraw from checking when 
prompted. There will be no fee for this service if you have sufficient funds in your 
checking account to cover the amount of the transaction.

42. Use of Card for Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) and
Electronic Banking Services. If you use your Card as an ATM card, the terms of 
this Agreement and your checking account agreement titled, Deposit Account Rules & 
Regulations, will apply.
43. Electronic Access. Smart phones, tablets, and other electronic devices can
store your Card (such as through a mobile wallet). This means they can be used to 
get credit under this Agreement. Any such transaction is covered by this Agreement. 
Secure your mobile device against unauthorized access. Anyone who can access your 
Card using your device can make charges to your Account. Apps that use your Card to 
get credit may have separate terms of use. We are not responsible if you violate those 
terms or for any consequences from violating those terms.

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: 
Fifth Third Bank, Attn: Disputes Resolution Department  
MD: 1MOCBX, 5050 Kingsley Drive, Cincinnati, OH 45227.

You may also contact us at 877-833-6197, Monday through Friday 7 AM to 8 PM 
(EST) and Saturday 8:30 AM to 5 PM (EST).

In your letter, give us the following information:

• Account Information: Your name and Account number.
• Dollar amount: The dollar amount of the suspected error.

•  Description of Problem: 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 may notify us of any potential errors in writing or by calling us. You may still be required 
to pay the amount(s) in question if the Bank determines the transaction is not an error. If you 
believe fraud has occurred on your account, please call us as soon as possible at 800-782-0279

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 Card Purchase 
If you are dissatisfied with the goods or services that you have purchased with your 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 Card for the Purchase. Purchases made with Cash

Advances from an ATM 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: Fifth Third Bank, Attn: Disputes Resolution Department, MD: 1MOCBX,  
5050 Kingsley Drive, Cincinnati, Ohio 45227.

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 us an amount and you do not pay, we may report you as delinquent.

How  We  Will  Calculate  Your  Balance:  We  use  a  method  called  “average  daily 
balance (including new purchases).”

Billing Rights: Information on your rights to dispute transactions and how to exercise 
those rights is provided in your Account Agreement.  

Prime Rate: Variable APRs are based on the 5.00% Prime Rate as of 6/29/2018. 

Variable APRs for Purchases and Balance Transfers: The Purchase and Balance 
Transfer APR is calculated using the Prime Rate (“Prime”) plus a margin (percentage we add 
to Prime) of 9.74%, 12.74%, 15.74% or 20.74%.  

Daily Periodic Rate for Purchases and Balance Transfers is 0.04038% to 0.07052%. 
The Daily Periodic Rate for Cash Advances is 0.06846%.

Variable  Based  on  Prime: The Prime Rate means the Prime Rate published in the 
“Money Rates” section of the online version of The Wall Street Journal (WSJ). We determine 
the Prime Rate two business days prior to the closing date of your Billing Cycle. Changes to 
the Daily Periodic Rate and corresponding APR for Purchases and Balance Transfers will be 
applied to your existing Account balance and to subsequent transactions effective the first 
day of the Billing Cycle in which we determine the interest rate. Any increase or decrease in 
the Prime Rate will result in an increase or decrease in your Daily Periodic Rate and the APR, 
and as a result, the interest charge and the Minimum Payment Due will change and may 
result in a smaller part of your payment being applied to reduce principal.

Information  is  accurate  as  of  6/29/2018  and  may  have  changed  after  that  date.
