SECTION 19 OF THIS AGREEMENT IS AN ARBITRATION PROVISION. UNLESS YOU ACT PROMPTLY TO REJECT THE 
ARBITRATION PROVISION, IT WILL HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL EFFECT ON YOUR RIGHTS IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE. 
FOR EXAMPLE, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS PROCEEDING SUBJECT TO 
ARBITRATION. 

This Agreement governs the secured credit card account  (“Account”) and related credit card (“Card”) provided  by 
Capital  Bank,  a  nationally  chartered,  FDIC-insured  Bank  headquartered  in  Rockville,  MD  (the  “Bank”).  In  this 
Agreement, the  words “we,” “us,” and “our” mean the  Bank, its successors and assigns, and, for purposes  of the 
Arbitration Provision (Section 19) the other persons identified in the Arbitration Provision. The words “you,” “your”, 
“yours” and “Cardholder” mean everyone responsible for this Account, including the person who applied for, received 
and accepted this Account and the person to whom we provide the Account Statements after each monthly billing 
cycle. You agree, jointly and severally, if more than one person is contractually liable for the Account, to comply with, 
and be bound by, this entire Agreement. You should retain and carefully review this entire Agreement, and sign your 
Card before using it. Intending to be legally bound, you and we agree as follows: 

1. Accepting this Agreement. You accept and agree to the terms and conditions of this Agreement when you first use 
the Account or the Card.  

2.  Purchases  and  Cash  Advances.  You  may  use  your  Account  to  purchase  or  lease  goods  or  services  (each,  a 
“Purchase”) by presenting your Card or providing your Card number and additional information (for example, in online 
or telephone transactions) to participating merchants and establishments that honor the Card. You may also receive 
“Cash Advances” on your Account: (a) to obtain cash or cash-like equivalents (for example, money orders, traveler’s 
checks, stamps or other instruments convertible into cash) from any bank or other person that accepts the Card for 
such purpose; (b) to make a withdrawal of cash from an automated teller machine (“ATM”);  and/or (c) to make a 
person-to-person transfer conducted through the Internet or otherwise. 

Purchases and Cash Advances are collectively referred to as “Transactions.” We will not be liable to you (or anyone 
else) if any ATM, merchant or other person cannot or will not process a Transaction permitted under this Agreement. 
Unless  prohibited  by  applicable  law,  we  may  from  time  to  time  limit  the  type,  number  and  dollar  amount  of  any 
Transaction, even if you have sufficient  Available Credit (defined in 5.(e) below) to complete the Transaction, and 
may terminate or suspend your use of the Card or the Account, with or without notice to you before or at the time we 
take such action.  

3.  Use  of  the  Account  and  the  Card.  You  agree  to  use  your  Account  and  your  Card  only  for  personal,  family  or 
household  purposes.  You  agree  that  you  will  not  use  your  Account  for  any  unlawful  purpose  or  to  engage  in  or 
facilitate Internet gambling. Your breach of this Agreement will not affect or limit your liability to us with respect to any 
Transactions or Balance Type. 

 4.  Authorized  User(s).    If  you  allow  any  other  person  to  use  your  Account  or  your  Card,  that  person  will  be  an 
“Authorized User.” You are responsible for all use of your Account, including Transactions by an Authorized User. If 
you allow an Authorized User to use your Account, such authorization will be deemed to extend to all Transactions 
by such Authorized User, even if not intended by you, and will continue until you have taken all steps necessary to 
prevent any further use of your Account by such Authorized User, even if you have advised us that such Authorized 
User is no longer authorized to use the Account. It is your responsibility to get any cards, checks or any other means 
of access to your Account from the Authorized User and destroy them or return them to us upon request. 

5. Secured Card; Pledged Deposit Account.  

(a) As a condition to obtaining this Account, you are opening a deposit account at the Bank, or at another 
FDIC-insured institution designated by the Bank in its discretion (the “Deposit Bank”), in a minimum amount 
of at least $200.00.  We need not notify you of the identity of the Deposit Bank, if any, unless you expressly 
request  such  information.  The  deposit  account  we  open  for  you,  with  us  or  the  Deposit  Bank,  and  any 
substitutions  or  renewals  thereof,  is  referred  to  herein  as  the  “Pledged  Deposit  Account.”  You  hereby 
appoint us your agent and attorney-in-fact and direct us to open the Pledged Deposit Account, to maintain 
records and deliver disclosures with respect to the Pledged Deposit Account (including records on behalf of 
the Deposit Bank, if any) and to take or initiate all actions with respect to the Pledged Deposit Account as 
are contemplated hereunder.  You hereby direct the Deposit Bank to  deal  exclusively and directly with us 
concerning the Pledged Deposit Account, to comply with our instructions directing disposition of the funds 
on  deposit  in  the  Pledged  Deposit  Account  from  time  to  time,  including  any  funds  deposited  after  the 
effective date of this Agreement (the “Deposit Funds”), without further consent by you, and to disregard any 
instructions received directly from you (whether or not such instructions are contrary to any instructions we 
have given the Deposit Bank).

(b)  You  hereby  pledge,  assign  and  grant  us  a  first  priority  security  interest  in  the  Pledged  Deposit 
Account and the Deposit Funds (together, the “Pledged Collateral”), and you authorize and direct us and the 
Deposit Bank to take all actions necessary or appropriate to ensure our rights in the Pledged Collateral. You 
acknowledge that, during the term of this Agreement, you may not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or create any 
security interest (except the security interest created hereby) in the Pledged Collateral. You agree to sign all 
applications  and  further  documents  that  we  may  request  from  time  to  time  to  confirm  and  evidence  the 
creation  of  the  Pledged  Deposit  Account  and  our  security  interest  in  the  Pledged  Collateral,  and  you 
authorize us to sign such documents on your behalf. If you do not pay your Account balance as and when 
due or you or we decide to close your Account for any reason, you authorize us to apply any or all of the 
Deposit Funds to  your outstanding  Account balance. We expressly disclaim any security interest in  your 
other property in connection with your Account. 

(c) You may not make withdrawals of Deposit Funds.  You will not receive any Deposit Funds until we are 
reasonably assured that the remaining Deposit Funds will be sufficient to secure in full all your obligations 
to us under this Agreement. This may take up to ten (10) weeks in some circumstances.  You will not receive 
a Deposit Funds refund if the remaining Deposit Funds are less than $1.00 in the event the Deposit Funds 
are used to fully satisfy your obligations to us under the Agreement. 

(d) If you default under this Agreement (see Section 14) and we exercise our rights as a secured creditor 
with respect to the Pledged Collateral (see Section 15.(e)) but the outstanding Account balance exceeds the 
Deposit Funds, you are and will remain liable for the difference, plus any further Fees and Interest that may 
subsequently accrue, until the Account balance is paid in full. 

(e) Deposit Funds do not pay interest. Accordingly, the interest rate and annual percentage yield on the 

Pledged Deposit Account are both 0.00% for the entire life of the Pledged Deposit Account. 

6. Credit Limit; Transaction Limits; Available Credit. 

(a) Your initial Credit Limit is disclosed on the card carrier used to deliver the Card to you. Your initial Credit Limit 
is based on the amount of Deposit Funds that you initially deposited to the Pledged Deposit Account. However, we 
will charge your $35.00 Annual Fee to your Account, which will reduce your Available Credit  by that amount. (See 
6.(d) below.) 

(b)  You  may  request  an  increase  in  your  Credit  Limit  at  any  time  or  from  time  to  time,  provided  that, 
notwithstanding  any  language  in  this  Agreement  to  the  contrary:  (i)  any  increase  will  be  subject  to  underwriting 
approval; (ii) your Credit Limit will never without our express approval exceed the amount of Deposit Funds in the 
Pledged Deposit Account or the amount that we reasonably believe will allow you to pay the Minimum Payment Due, 
together with your other monthly expenses, each month; (iii) any deposit of additional Deposit Funds must be in the 
form of a check, money order or wire transfer (and not an ACH payment); (iv) the amount of a Cash Advance may 
not  be  less  than  $20  and  the  outstanding  balance  of  Cash  Advances  (including  Balance  Transfers  and  including 
Interest Charges and Fees treated as Cash Advances) may never exceed 50% of your Credit Limit; and (v) we may 
delay increasing your Credit Limit for up to five (5) business days after we approve the increase in Credit Limit and 
receive additional Deposit Funds, in order to ensure  that the payment to us has cleared. You agree to provide us 
from time to time with any information we reasonably request in order to assess your ability to make payments of the 
Minimum Payment Due based on the current Credit Limit or any contemplated Credit Limit. 

(c) After the first year of the Account, you may also request a decrease in your Credit Limit to a level not below 
$200.00 and a reduction in the Deposit Funds in the Pledged Deposit Account to a level not exceeding the reduced 
Credit Limit. In such event, we will immediately reduce your Credit Limit but you will not receive any Deposit Funds 
until we are reasonably assured that the remaining Deposit Funds will be sufficient to secure in full all your obligations 
to us under this Agreement, including your Account balance and obligations relating to authorized Transactions that 
are not yet reflected in your Account balance (“Pending Transactions”). This may take up to ten (10) weeks in certain 
circumstances. 

(d) The amount by which your Credit Limit exceeds the sum of: (i) your outstanding Account balance (including 
principal, Fees and Interest Charges); (ii) the dollar amount of all Pending Transactions; and (iii) funds you have sent 
us  that  are  not  yet  treated  as  “good”  funds  under  Section  11.(e)  for  purposes  of  determining  credit  availability  is 
referred to as your “Available Credit.” We are not required to approve any Transaction if the amount of the Transaction 
exceeds your Available Credit. However, we may authorize and pay any such Transaction in our absolute discretion. 
Whenever the outstanding balance of the Account exceeds your Credit Limit, you agree to pay us the difference on 
demand.  

(e) (i) Subject to applicable law, we may from time to time and in our sole discretion increase your Credit Limit to 
any level of our choice, even if the new Credit Limit exceeds the Deposit Funds in the Pledged Deposit Account. We 

OpenSky Secured Visa Credit Card Agreement 

Page 3 

SKY1-045 
Dec 2019

 
 
 
 
may also decrease your Credit Limit in our sole discretion, as low as $0. Additionally, we may at any time close your 
Account, or limit the number or amount of Transactions that can be charged to your Account based on an evaluation 
of  various  factors. We  will  promptly  notify  you  in  writing  in  the  event  we  decide  to  take  any  such  action  on  your 
Account. 

(ii) If we close your Account without cause or if we take any action described in Section 6.(e)(i) without cause 
and you give us written notice within thirty (30) days that you are closing your Account, we will disregard any reduction 
in your Credit Limit for purposes of determining your Annual Percentage Rate (“APR”). Also, if we reduce your Credit 
Limit without cause, we will not demand immediate payment of any excess of the Account Balance over the reduced 
Credit Limit until such time as the reduced Credit Limit first equals or exceeds the outstanding Account Balance. 

7. Interest Charges. 

(a) General. Each Billing Cycle, we separately determine the Interest Charges on Purchases and the Interest 
Charges on Cash Advances. Both for Purchases and Cash Advances (each, a “Balance Type”), we determine Interest 
Charges  each  Billing  Cycle  by  multiplying  the  Balance  Subject  to  Interest  Charges  (see  7.(c)  below)  by  the  daily 
Periodic Rate and by then multiplying the result by the number of days in the Billing Cycle. For each Balance Type, 
the Balance Subject to Interest Charges is the Average Daily Balance (including new Transactions), as calculated 
pursuant to Section 6.(c) below. To get the total Interest Charges each Billing Cycle, we add together the Interest 
Charges for Purchases and the Interest Charges for Cash Advances. 

(b) Interest Rates.  

 (i) For each Balance Type, the Daily Periodic Rate and APR will equal the sum of a Margin and the Prime 
Rate determined as of the third Friday of the last calendar month ended before the beginning of the applicable Billing 
Cycle (the “Determination Date”).  The Margin for Purchase and Cash Balance Types is 14.14%. The “Prime Rate” 
is  the  highest  U.S.  Prime  Rate  as  published  in  the  “Money  Rates”  section  of  The  Wall  Street  Journal  on  the 
Determination Date (or, if The Wall Street Journal does not publish such rate on such day, the previous day it does 
publish such rate). (If The Wall Street Journal stops publishing the U.S. Prime Rate in its “Money Rates” section, then 
we may substitute another index and margin, in our sole discretion, subject to applicable law.)   For each Balance 
Type, your rate will vary with the market based on the Prime Rate. The Daily Periodic Rate will be 1/365th of the APR 
rounded to the nearest 1/100,000th of 1%. The Daily Periodic Rate in effect at any time is disclosed on the monthly 
statement  under  “Interest  Charge  Calculation”.  The  Daily  Periodic  Rate  for  your  Purchase  and  Cash  APR  is 
0.05175%.Notwithstanding  the foregoing, the  Daily Periodic  Rate and  APR  will never  exceed  the maximum rates 
permitted by applicable law.  

(ii) Your APR may increase.  If and when the APR for each Balance Type increases, more Interest Charges 
will accrue  and more of each payment  will be applied to Interest Charges  and  less to principal. This  will result in 
higher and/or more payments if you pay the Minimum Payment Due each month. If and when the APR decreases, 
less Interest Charges will accrue and less of each payment will be applied to Interest Charges and more to principal. 
This will result in lower and/or fewer payments if you pay the Minimum Payment Due each month.  

 (c) Balances Subject to Interest Charge. 

(i) For each Balance Type, the Balance Subject to Interest Charges is the Average Daily Balance for such 
Balance Type. The Average Daily Balance for a Billing Cycle equals the sum of the daily Purchases or Cash Advances 
balances, as applicable, for each day of the Billing Cycle, divided by the number of days in the Billing Cycle.  

(ii)The Purchases balance for each day in the Billing Cycle is computed as follows:  

(A) For each day (including the first day of the Billing Cycle), we start with the prior day’s closing balance 

of Purchases, if any.  

(B) For the first day of the Billing cycle, we add any unpaid Interest Charges on Purchases that accrued 

during the prior Billing Cycle. (This results in the monthly compounding of Interest Charges.) 

(C)  For  each  day  in  the  Billing  Cycle  (including  the  first  day  of  the  Billing  Cycle),  we  add  any  new 
Purchases posted to your Account and subtract any payments or credits applied to Purchases. However, we do not 
subtract a second time any payments or credits that have already been subtracted in step (B) above.  

(D) We treat any negative daily balance as $0. 

(iii) To get the daily balance of Cash Advances each day: (i) we take the previous day’s  balance of Cash 
Advances (if any); (ii) we add any new Cash Advances; and (iii) we subtract any new payments or credits applied to 
Cash Advances. For the first day of each Billing Cycle, we also add any unpaid Interest Charges on Cash Advances 
that accrued during the prior Billing Cycle. (This results in the monthly compounding of Interest Charges.) If a Cash 

OpenSky Secured Visa Credit Card Agreement

SKY1-045 
Dec 2019

 
 
 
 
 
Advance obtained in a Billing Cycle is not posted in that Billing Cycle, we add the Cash Advance to the daily balance 
on the first day of the next Billing Cycle instead of the day it was obtained. We treat any negative daily balance as 
$0. 

(d)   Interest Accrual Periods. We charge Interest Charges over the following periods: 

(i) On each Cash Advance, we charge Interest Charges from the later of the Cash Advance transaction or 

the first day of the Billing Cycle in which it is posted to your Account until it is repaid in full.  

(ii)  On  each  Purchase,  we  charge  Interest  Charges  from  the  day  the  Purchase  is  posted  to  the  Account 

through the Interest End Date.   

(e) Classification of Fees as Purchases or Cash Advances. For purposes of computing Interest Charges, Cash 

Advance Fees are treated as Cash Advances and all other Fees are treated as Purchases. 

(f)  Avoid Interest Charges on Purchases.  We will not charge you Interest on Purchases if you pay the entire 

New Balance by the payment due date each billing cycle.  

8. Fees. Subject to applicable law, including the federal Truth in Lending Act and Regulation Z, you paid or agree to 
pay the following Fees:  

(a) Set-Up and Maintenance Fees. You paid or agree to pay the following Set-Up and Maintenance Fees: 

 (i) When we open your Account and each year following the anniversary date of your Account opening, we 

will charge you an Annual Fee of $35.00. 

 (ii) If you requested us to expedite shipping of your Card, you also paid a one-time, non-refundable Expedited 

Card Fee of $50.00.  

       (b) Transaction Fees; Currency Conversion.  

(i) Each time you obtain a Cash Advance, we will charge a Cash Advance Fee equal to the greater of $6 or 

5% of the dollar amount of the Cash Advance.  

(ii) If you make a Purchase or obtain a Cash Advance in a foreign currency, the Transaction will be converted 
into a U.S. dollar amount in accordance with operating regulations or conversion procedures of  Visa International 
(“Visa”) in effect at the time the Transaction is processed. Currently, Visa regulations and procedures provide that 
the currency conversion rate will be either a wholesale market rate or a government-mandated rate in effect one day 
prior to the processing date. We charge a Foreign Currency Transaction Fee equal to three percent (3%) of the gross 
amount of the Transaction in U.S. Currency. The foreign merchant or financial institution may charge a separate fee. 

(c) Penalty Fees.  

(i) If we do not receive a payment from you in at least the amount of your Minimum Payment Due within one 
(1) day after the Payment Due Date shown on your monthly statement, you will be charged a Late Payment Fee up 
to $27 for the first Late Payment and up to $38 for a subsequent Late Payment within the following six (6) months.   

(ii) Each time a check, instrument or other payment on your Account is returned to us unpaid for any reason 
or we must return any check or instrument you send us because it is not signed or is otherwise incomplete, we will 
charge you a Returned Payment Fee of $25.00.  

(d) Additional Fees.  

(i) We will charge an Expedited Pay By Phone Fee of $10.00 each time you arrange for an expedited payment 
by calling us and obtaining the assistance of a live representative or agent of ours. Your payment will be credited to 
your Account the same day, if received on or before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on a business day and otherwise on the 
next business day.  

(ii) We will charge you a Document Retrieval Fee of $5.00 each time you request and we provide you with a 
copy of any monthly Account Statement (“Account Statement”), sales draft or payment instrument previously provided 
you, unless the request is made in connection with a written notice of a billing error.  

(iii) We will charge you Paper Statement Fee of $3.00 if you request us to deliver your Account Statements 
to you in paper through the U.S. Postal Service rather than accessing them online. For more details about delivery 
of your Account Statements, please refer to Section 10. below. 

(iv) We may charge additional fees for separate services we provide you in accordance with applicable law.

9. Limits on Interest Charges and Fees.  

(a)  Notwithstanding  any  language  in  this  Agreement  to  the  contrary,  we  will  limit  the  total  amount  of  any 
Transaction Fees (listed on the first page) that we impose during the first year after the Account is opened to twenty-
five percent (25%) of your initial Credit Limit (or any lower Credit Limit that may apply during the first year after the 
Account is opened). If a charge is imposed that would otherwise exceed this limit, then, in accordance with applicable 
law, we will make the necessary corrections within a reasonable amount of time but no later than the end of the Billing 
Cycle following the Billing Cycle during which the limit was exceeded. 

(b) It is not the intention of the parties that anything in this Agreement should result in the assessment of Interest 
Charges or Fees in excess of those permitted by applicable law. If any Interest Charge or Fee 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.  

10. Account Statements. We will send you an Account Statement shortly after the end of each monthly Billing Cycle 
if your Account has a debit or credit balance in excess of $1.00 at the end of the Billing Cycle or any Interest Charge 
has been imposed during the Billing Cycle. However, we are not obligated to send you an Account Statement if we 
deem your Account to be uncollectible or applicable law does not require us to send you an Account Statement for 
other  reasons.  Your  Account  Statements  will  show  Transactions;  payments,  credits  and  adjustments;  Interest 
Charges and Fees; the Previous Balance and New Balance on your Account; your Credit Limit and Available Credit; 
and the Minimum Payment Due and Payment Due Date. As you consented to receive e-disclosures when you applied 
for this Account, your Account Statements are posted online and can be accessed at MyAccount, our secure online 
Cardholder Center. At any time you may notify us that you withdraw your consent to receive electronic statements 
and we will deliver your Account Statements to you in paper through the U.S. Postal Service. However, we will charge 
you a $3.00 Paper Statement Fee for each Account Statement we deliver to you in paper. 

11. Payments.  

(a) Each month,  you must pay at least the Minimum Payment Due shown on  your Account  Statement by  the 
“Cut-Off Time” on the Payment Due Date shown on your Account Statement, which will be at least twenty-five (25) 
days after the date of the Account Statement, typically on the same day of each calendar month. However, if the 
Payment Due Date falls on a day we do not receive mail (“non-business day”), we will not treat your payment as late 
for any purpose if we receive it by the Cut-Off Time on the next day we receive mail (a “business day”). The “Cut-Off 
Time” is 5:00 p.m. local time at the payment address specified on the Account Statement (or closing time of any  of 
our offices at which you make payment in person). 

(b) If the total outstanding balance under your Account at the end of a Billing Cycle, as shown on your Account 
Statement (the “New Balance”), is less than $25.00, the Minimum Payment Due equals the New Balance. Otherwise, 
the  Minimum  Payment  Due  equals  the  sum  of:  (i)  any  amount  past  due;  plus  (ii)  any  amount  by  which  the  New 
Balance exceeds your Credit Limit; and (iii) the greatest of: (A) the sum of the Interest Charges and Fees reflected 
on your Account Statement; (B) two percent (2%) of the New Balance; or (C) $25.00. 

(c)  You  agree  to  make  all  payments  by  check  or  other  negotiable  instrument  drawn  on  a  financial  institution 
located  in  the  U.S.  or  by  money  order.  Payments  must  be  made  in  U.S.  dollars.  All  payments,  except  disputed 
payments, must be mailed or delivered to us at the payment address shown on the front of your Account Statement 
(the “Payment Address”). Any payments received after the Cut-Off Time on a business day will be credited on the 
next business day. However, credit to your Account may be delayed for up to five (5) days if we accept a payment 
that is: (i) not received by mail or messenger service at the Payment Address or in-person at one of our branches; 
(ii) not made in U.S. dollars by a check or other negotiable instrument drawn on a financial institution located in the 
U.S. or by money order; or (iii) not accompanied by the top portion of your Account Statement. Delayed crediting may 
cause you to incur additional Fees and Interest Charges, subject to applicable law. You may not use a Statement 
Check  to  pay  any  amount  you  owe  under  this  Agreement  or  any  other  amount  you  owe  us.  None  of  the 
following will constitute a payment made by you: (i) a credit posting from a merchant; (ii) a reversal of fees 
by us; or (iii) our offset of the Deposit Funds in the Pledged Deposit Account.  

(d) Subject to applicable law, we may apply payments and other credits to your Account in any manner we choose 
in our sole discretion. For payments up to the Minimum Payment Due, we typically apply payments based on the 
APR of different balances, first to the lowest APR, next to the next-lowest APR and so on. For payments in excess 
of the Minimum Payment Due, we apply payments in the reverse order, first to balances with the highest APR. 

      (e)  All  credits  for  payments  to  your  Card  are  subject  to  final  payment  by  the  institution  on  which  the  item  of 
payment  was  drawn.  Your  Available  Credit  may  not  be  restored  for  up  to  twenty  (20)  days  after  we  receive  your 
payment.

12. Prepayment. At any time, you may pay all or any part of  your outstanding Account balance. Payment of more 
than the Minimum Payment Due in one Billing Cycle will not relieve you of the obligation to pay the entire Minimum 
Payment Due in subsequent Billing Cycles. 

13. Termination. Subject to applicable law, we may terminate your right to credit under the Account at any time in our 
absolute discretion. You may also terminate your right to credit under the Account  by calling Customer Service or 
writing to the OpenSky Card Services, P.O. Box 9224, Old Bethpage, NY 11804-9224. Any request to terminate your 
credit privileges will be effective only after we have had a reasonable opportunity to act on such request.  We will 
close the Pledged Deposit Account after your credit privileges are terminated and all amounts owing to us are repaid 
in full. However, it could take up to ten (10) weeks before we close the Pledged Deposit Account and return to you 
any  Deposit  Funds  that  remain  after  all  your  obligations  to  us  have  been  paid  in  full.  Except  as  provided  above, 
termination of credit privileges, whether initiated by us or by you, will not affect any of your or our rights and obligations 
under this Agreement, including without limitation, your obligation to repay any amounts you owe us according to the 
terms of this Agreement. On our demand or upon termination of credit privileges, you agree to surrender to us or 
destroy the Card. You agree that, if you attempt to use the Card after the termination of credit privileges (whether or 
not we have provided notice of such termination), the Card may be retained by a merchant, ATM or financial institution 
where you attempt to use the Card.

applicable notice requirement): 

(a)  without  waiving  any  rights  under  subsection  (b),  allow  you  to  repay  your  Account  balance  by  paying  the

honor  any  attempted  Transaction  if  your  Card  is  in  default  or  we  have  determined  to  terminate  or  suspend  your 
Account privileges or limit your ability to make Transactions. Interest Charges will continue to accrue until your total 
Account  balance,  including  accrued  Interest  Charges,  is  paid  in  full.  You  understand  and  agree  that,  subject  to 
applicable law, if you are in default under this Agreement, we may make collection calls to your home or cell phone 
and may use an automatic dialer and/or prerecorded messages with respect to such calls, even if the message is left 
on an answering machine. You agree such calls will not be considered “unsolicited” calls or telemarketing calls for 
purposes of state or federal law.

or remedies under this Agreement or under applicable law without losing any of those or any other rights or remedies. 
Even if we do not enforce our rights or remedies at any one time, we may enforce them at a later date. 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.

this Agreement or the Account (as more fully defined in Section 19.(b)(iii), a “Claim”), the party asserting the Claim

18. Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury. YOU AND WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS A 
CONSTITUTIONAL  RIGHT  BUT  MAY  BE  WAIVED  IN  CERTAIN  CIRCUMSTANCES.  TO  THE  EXTENT 
PERMITTED  BY  LAW,  YOU  AND  WE  KNOWINGLY  AND  VOLUNTARILY  WAIVE  ANY  RIGHT  TO  TRIAL  BY 
JURY  IN  THE  EVENT  OF  LITIGATION  ARISING  OUT  OF  OR  RELATED  TO  THIS  AGREEMENT.  THIS  JURY 
TRIAL  WAIVER  SHALL  NOT  AFFECT  OR  BE  INTERPRETED  AS  MODIFYING  IN  ANY  FASHION  THE 
ARBITRATION  PROVISION  SET  FORTH  IN  SECTION  19,  IF  APPLICABLE,  WHICH  CONTAINS  ITS  OWN 
SEPARATE JURY TRIAL WAIVER. 

19. Arbitration Provision. Unless you have exercised your right to reject arbitration under subsection (m) below, 
the following Arbitration Provision will apply: 

(a)  General: Either  you or  we may  elect to arbitrate  - and require the other party to arbitrate  - any Claim (as 
defined below) under the following terms and conditions. If you or we elect to arbitrate a Claim, neither you nor we 
will have the right to: (i) have a court or a jury decide the Claim; (ii) participate in a class action in court or in arbitration, 
either as a class representative or a class member; (iii) act as a private attorney general in court or in arbitration; or 
(iv) join or consolidate your Claim(s) with claims of any other person. The right to appeal and the right to pre-arbitration 
discovery are more limited in arbitration than in court. Other rights that you would have if you went to court may also 
not be available in arbitration.  

(b)  Definitions: The following definitions apply to this Arbitration Provision, even if terms defined in this Arbitration 

Provision are defined differently elsewhere in this Agreement:  

(i) 

“We,” “us” and “our” mean the Bank, together with any subsequent holder of this Agreement. Also, 
these terms include the parents, subsidiaries, affiliates and successors of such companies,  as well as the officers, 
directors, agents and employees of any of the foregoing. These terms also include any party named as a co-defendant 
with us in a Claim asserted by you, such as marketing companies, credit bureaus, credit insurance companies, credit 
card servicers and debt collectors. “You,” “your” and “yours” include each and every person who uses a Card. 

(ii) 

“Administrator”  means  the  American  Arbitration  Association  (“AAA”),  1633  Broadway,  10th  Floor, 
New  York, NY 10019,  www.adr.org, 800-778-7879; JAMS, 620 Eighth Avenue,  34th Floor, New  York, NY  10018, 
www.jamsadr.com, 800-352-5267; or any other company selected by mutual agreement of the parties. If both AAA 
and  JAMS  cannot  or  will  not  serve  and  the  parties  are  unable  to  select  an  Administrator  by  mutual  consent,  the 
Administrator  will  be  selected  by  a  court.  You  get  to  select  the  Administrator  if  you  give  us  written  notice  of  your 
selection with your notice that you are electing to arbitrate any Claim or within  twenty (20) days after we give you 
notice that we are electing to arbitrate any Claim (or, if you dispute our right to require arbitration of the Claim, within 
twenty (20) days after that dispute is finally resolved). If you do not select the Administrator on time, we may do it. 
Notwithstanding any language in this Arbitration Provision to the contrary, no arbitration may be administered, without 
the consent of all parties to the arbitration, by any Administrator that has in place a formal or informal policy that is 
inconsistent with subsection (d) below captioned “No Class Actions” (the “Class Action Waiver”). 

(iii) 

“Claim” means any claim, dispute or controversy between you and us that in any way arises from or 
relates to this Agreement or the Account, including disputes arising from actions or omissions prior to the date of this 
Agreement. “Claim” has the broadest reasonable meaning, and includes initial claims, counterclaims, cross-claims 
and third-party claims. It includes disputes based upon contract, tort, consumer rights, fraud and other intentional 
torts,  constitution,  statute,  regulation,  ordinance,  common  law  and  equity  (including  any  claim  for  injunctive  or 
declaratory relief). However, it does not include disputes about the validity, enforceability, coverage or scope of this 

OpenSky Secured Visa Credit Card Agreement

SKY1-045 
Dec 2019

 
 
 
 
Arbitration Agreement or any part thereof (including, without limitation, the Class Action Waiver, the final sentence in 
Section 19.(j) under the caption “Survival, Severability, Primacy” and/or this sentence); all such disputes are for a 
court and not an arbitrator to decide. 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. 

(c)  Starting Arbitration: To start an arbitration, you or we must give written notice of an election to arbitrate. This 
notice may be given after a lawsuit has been filed and may be given in papers or motions in the lawsuit. If such a 
notice is given, the Claim shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Provision and the applicable rules of 
the Administrator then in effect. We will not elect to arbitrate any individual action brought by you in small claims court 
or your state’s equivalent court, when such action is transferred, removed, or appealed to a different court 

(d)  No Class Actions: Notwithstanding any language herein to the contrary, if you or we elect to arbitrate 
a Claim, neither you nor we will have the right to: (i) participate in a class action in court or in arbitration, 
either as a class representative, class member or class opponent; (ii) act as a private attorney general in 
court  or  in  arbitration;  or  (iii)  join  or  consolidate  your  Claims  with  claims  of  any  other  person,  and  the 
arbitrator  shall  have  no  authority  to  conduct  any  such  class,  private  attorney  general  or  multiple-party 
proceeding.  

(e)  Location and Costs: Any arbitration hearing that you attend will take place in a location that is reasonably 
convenient for you. If you cannot obtain a waiver of the Administrator’s or arbitrator’s filing, administrative, hearing 
and/or other fees, we will consider in good faith any request by you for us to bear such fees. We will pay for our own 
attorneys,  experts  and  witnesses  and  will  pay  the  reasonable  fees  and  charges  of  your  attorneys,  experts  and 
witnesses if you win the arbitration. We will pay any of the Administrator’s or arbitrator’s filing, administrative, hearing 
and/or other fees, and the fees and charges of your attorneys, experts and witnesses, if and to the extent we are 
required to pay such fees and charges by law or in order to make this Arbitration Provision enforceable. 

(f)   Arbitrator Selection: The arbitrator will be appointed by the Administrator in accordance with the rules of the 
Administrator.  However,  unless  the  parties  agree  otherwise,  the  arbitrator  must  be  a  retired  or  former  judge  or  a 
lawyer with at least ten (10) years of experience.  

(g)  Discovery;  Getting  Information:  In  addition  to  the  parties’  rights  under  the  Administrator’s  rules  to  obtain 
information prior to the hearing, either party may ask the arbitrator for more information from the other party. The 
arbitrator will decide the issue in his or her sole discretion, after allowing the other party the opportunity to object.  

(h)  Effect of Arbitration Award: Any court with jurisdiction may enter judgment upon the arbitrator’s award. The 
arbitrator’s award will be final and binding, except for: (1) any appeal right under the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. 
§1 et seq. (the “FAA”); and (2) Claims involving more than $50,000. For Claims involving more than $50,000, any 
party may appeal the award to a three-arbitrator panel appointed by the Administrator, which will reconsider anew 
any aspect of the initial award that is appealed. The panel’s decision will be final and binding, except for any appeal 
right  under  the  FAA.  The  costs  of  any  appeal  will  be  borne  in  accordance  with  subsection  (e)  above  captioned 
“Location and Costs.”  

(i)   Governing Law: This Agreement governs transactions involving  interstate commerce and accordingly  this 
Arbitration Provision shall be governed by the FAA and not by any state law concerning arbitration. The arbitrator 
shall  follow  applicable  substantive  law  to  the  extent  consistent  with  the  FAA,  applicable  statutes  of  limitation  and 
applicable  privilege  rules,  and  shall  be  authorized  to  award  all  remedies  available  in  an  individual  lawsuit  under 
applicable substantive law, including, without limitation, compensatory, statutory and punitive damages (which shall 
be  governed  by  the  constitutional  standards  applicable  in  judicial  proceedings),  declaratory,  injunctive  and  other 
equitable relief, and attorneys’ fees and costs. Upon the timely request of either party, the arbitrator shall write a brief 
explanation of the basis of his or her award. The arbitrator will follow rules of procedure and evidence consistent with 
the FAA, this Arbitration Provision and the Administrator’s rules.  

(j)   Survival,  Severability,  Primacy:  This  Arbitration  Provision  shall  survive  the  termination  of  this  Agreement, 
your  fulfillment  or  default  of  your  obligations  under  this  Agreement  and/or  your  or  our  bankruptcy  (to  the  extent 
permitted by applicable law). In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this Arbitration Provision and the 
Administrator’s  rules  or  this  Agreement,  this  Arbitration  Provision  will  govern.  If  any  portion  of  this  Arbitration 
Provision,  other  than  the  Class  Action  Waiver,  is  deemed  invalid  or  unenforceable,  the  remaining  portions  shall 
nevertheless  remain  in  force.  If  a  determination  is  made  that  the  Class  Action  Waiver  is  unenforceable,  only  this 
sentence of the Arbitration Provision will remain in force and the remaining provisions shall be null and void, provided 
that the determination concerning the Class Action Waiver shall be subject to appeal.  

(k)  Amendment/Termination: Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, we will not amend 
this Arbitration Provision in a manner that adversely affects your rights or responsibilities in a material manner unless 
we give you a right to reject the amendment and/or the Arbitration Provision in its entirety.

(l)   Special Payment: If (i) you submit a Claim Notice on your own behalf (and not on behalf of any other party) 
in accordance with Section 17., captioned “Notice and Cure” (including the timing requirements thereof); (ii) we refuse 
to provide you with the relief you request;  and (iii) an arbitrator subsequently determines that you were entitled to 
such relief (or greater relief), the arbitrator shall award you at least $7,500 and will double the attorneys’ fees to which 
you would otherwise be entitled.  

(m)  RIGHT  TO  REJECT  ARBITRATION.  You  may  reject  this  Arbitration  Provision  by  mailing  a  special

  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: 

OpenSky Card Services 
P.O. Box 9224 
Old Bethpage, NY 11804-9224 

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.

When you open an account, you will be asked for your name, address, social security or tax identification number, 
date of birth (if applicable) and other information that will allow us to identify you. You will also be asked to furnish 
your driver’s license or other identifying documents. We are required to follow this procedure each time an account 
is opened, even if you are a current customer. Thank you for helping us to follow this Federally-mandated procedure.
