Credit Card Contract and Initial Disclosure Statement 

Please read this contract carefully. Your credit card account is governed by this contract. You become bound by the terms of this 
contract when you sign your application. In the contract, “bank,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to First Savings Bank (Beresford, SD) 
and we are the creditor named in the application you signed. “You,” “your” and “applicant” are the person(s) who applied to us 
for the account. “Contract” means the terms and conditions outlined in this contract. “Account” means the credit card account we 
open for you to use to access the credit we extend to you. “Credit limit” means the maximum account balance you can have at 
any time.

1.   Your  Responsibility  for  the Account:  You  are  responsible  for  the  balance  on  the  account  and  you  agree  to  pay  the 
balance under the terms of this contract. You need to sign the back of the card. You need to protect and control the card by 
not letting any other person use it. If you let another person use it, you agree to be responsible for any charges they make. 
We may let you add an authorized user to your account. An authorized user is any person you give permission to use the 
card or your account. If you add an authorized user, you agree to pay for any charges they make as well as any related 
fees and interest. If you do not pay for the charges made by the authorized user, we may choose to collect directly from 
them. If you want to remove an authorized user from your account, you need to get the card from them and notify us. If you 
cannot get the card, contact us immediately and we will close the account to try to stop further charges. The cards remain 
our property and you agree to return them at our request or we have the right to have a merchant keep the card and return 
it to us. If your card is lost or stolen or you suspect unauthorized use of your account, you agree to notify us immediately.

 
2.   Using Your Account to Obtain Credit: You can use the card and your account to make charges. We can close or suspend 
the account at any time for any reason including if the activity on your account appears suspicious, if we are concerned 
about repayment or if the balance is over the credit limit. We can also limit the number or amount of charges you can make 
on the account. You may be assigned a PIN (Personal Identification Number) or you may request a PIN to use at ATMs to 
obtain cash advances. The minimum cash advance is $20.00. Your card and account may not be used for illegal charges.  
You may not use your Card in connection with any gambling transaction.

3.   Your Credit Limit: The credit limit is included in the information sent with your card and on your statements. You may not 
go over your credit limit at any time. If your balance is more than your credit limit, you must pay the amount over your credit 
limit immediately. Your cash advance limit will be 50% of your total credit limit. 

4.   Monthly Billing Statements: We will send you a statement each month that your account has a balance or there is activity 
on  your  account.  The  statement  will  show  your  balance,  interest,  and  fees  charged,  and  your  minimum  payment  and 
payment due date.

5.   Payments: Payments should be sent to the address on the payment coupon with your billing statement. If you send a 
payment to any other address, there may be a delay in crediting it to your account. We do not lose any of our rights to 
collect the full balance if we accept late payments, partial payments or checks or money orders marked “payment in full” 
or similar language. Do not send us postdated checks. If you do, we may deposit these checks when we receive them 
and will not be liable for any fees that may result. We will post payments when received but we may restrict your ability to 
make new charges against that payment amount for up to thirty (30) days. If your payment is returned unpaid from your 
bank, we may re-present it electronically. If this occurs, your check will not be sent to your bank but they can get a copy 
of it at your request. 

6.   Minimum Payment and Monthly Payment: You may pay your entire balance at any time without penalty. You must pay at 
least the minimum payment each month by the payment due date. The payment due date will be at least twenty-five (25) 
days from the closing date. The closing date is the last day of the billing cycle.
 Monthly Payment: If your balance is less than $30, the monthly payment is the balance. If your balance is greater than $30, 
your monthly payment is the largest amount of either $30 or 4% of your balance or 1% of the balance plus the current late 
fee and interest.
 Minimum Payment: The minimum payment is the sum of any past due monthly payments plus the current monthly payment 
plus any amount over your credit limit. 

7.   Applying Your Payments: In general, the payment will be applied in the following order: unpaid interest, unpaid fees and 
other charges; and then principal balance. Payments applied to the principal balance will first be paid to balances at the 
highest Annual Percentage Rate (APR) and then to balances at lower APRs.

8.   Payment Methods: All payments must be made in U.S. dollars and drawn on a financial institution located in the United 

States. Do not send cash through the mail. 

9.   When Interest is Charged: Interest will be charged if you did not pay the previous balance in full by the payment due 
date. We will charge interest on the average daily balance. Average daily balance starts with the previous balance and 
adds purchases and cash advances as of their post dates and fees and charges as of the transaction dates. We subtract 
payments and credits as of their post dates. Then we add the daily balances and divide by the number of days in the 
billing cycle. Billing cycle means the time between two billing statements. To calculate the interest, we multiply the average 
daily balance by the monthly periodic rate. The monthly periodic rate is calculated by dividing the annual percentage rate 
(currently 23.15%, which is the prime rate plus 18.65%) by 12 (months). The current monthly periodic rate is 1.9292%. 

The Prime Rate is determined by using the “Money Rates” column in the Wall Street Journal on the first business day of 
each month, which is identified as “The base rate on corporate loans at large, U.S. money center commercial banks.”  If 
more than one “Prime Rate” is listed in that column, the largest rate listed will be used.  Your APR may increase or decrease 
if the Prime Rate changes.  

10.   Account Fees: You agree to pay us the following fees which will be billed to your account as a purchase and will accrue 

 interest.
 a.  Annual Fee: A $19 annual fee will be billed on your first billing statement and then about the same time each year.
 b.  Cash Advance Fee: You will be billed a fee of $5 or 3% of the amount of each cash advance, whichever is greater, for 

each cash advance taken through an ATM, bank withdrawal or other means.

 c.  Late Fee: You will be billed up to $25 if your payment is not received by the payment due date.
 d.  Returned Payment Fee: You will be billed up to $25 if your payment is returned for any reason.
 e.  Foreign Transaction Fee: We charge a 2% fee for converting transactions to U.S. dollars if made in another currency.
 f.   Optional Authorized User Fee: If you add an authorized user, there is a $20 annual authorized user fee.
 g.  Copy Fee: We will charge a $5 per item fee if you request a duplicate of any sales draft, statement or other document. 

We will charge you for each copy we provide.

 h.  Rush Card Fee: We will charge $25 for a replacement card rush request.
 i.  Replacement Card Fee: We will charge $5 to replace your credit card.

11.   Lost or Stolen Cards: If your card is lost, stolen or being used without your permission, call us toll free at (866) 205-8311 
24 hours a day. You should also write to us. Do not use the card or account after you have notified us. You will not be 
responsible for paying for any unauthorized use after you notify us of the loss, theft or unauthorized use.

12.   If Card is Refused: We are not responsible and have no liability if your card or account is not accepted for a charge. 
Although you may have the credit available, we may be unable to authorize credit due to system difficulties or mistakes. If 
your account is over the credit limit or past due, authorization for charges should be declined.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
13.  Cardholder Privacy: We will send you a privacy notice annually. Your telephone calls with our representatives may be  
recorded for quality and other purposes. We may use automated telephone equipment or pre-recorded telephone calls to 
contact you at any number you provide to us or that we obtain, including any cellular telephone number. You agree that 
we will not be responsible for the release of information to anyone who has gained possession of a card or identification 
number, account number or social security number.

14.  Calls and Text Messages to Your Cellular Phone: If you provide us with your cellular phone number or contact us from 
your cellular phone, you are providing this phone number for us, our affiliates or any third party acting on our behalf to 
contact you at this number. You agree that we may use this phone number to contact you for any business purpose about 
your account and you agree to be responsible for any fees or charges you incur as a result of providing this information. 
You may request this number not be used. We may offer options for text messages or other electronic communications that 
may be received or accessed from your cellular phone and you agree that by enrolling in these services, you understand 
and agree to be responsible for any fees or charges you incur as a result of this enrollment.

15.  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: Blaze 
Mastercard Credit Card, PO Box 5096, Sioux Falls, SD 57117-5096. In your letter, give us the following information: Your 
name and account number; the dollar amount of the suspected error; a description of the 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: 1) Within 60 days after 
the error appeared on your statement; and, 2) If you have enrolled in automatic payment, at least 3 business days before the 
payment is scheduled if you want to stop payment on the amount you think is wrong. You must notify us of any potential errors in 
writing. You may call us but if you do, we are not required to investigate any potential errors and you may have to pay the amount 
in question.
 When we receive your letter, we must do two things: 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. Within 90 days of receiving your letter, we 
must either correct the error or explain to you why we believe the bill is correct.
 While we investigate whether or not there has been an error: We cannot try to collect the amount in question or report 
you as delinquent on that amount. The charge in question may remain on your statement and we may continue to charge 
you interest on that amount. While you do not have to pay the amount in question, you are responsible for the remainder of 
your balance. We can apply any unpaid amount against your credit limit.
 After we finish our investigation, one of two things will happen: If we made a mistake: You will not have to pay the 
amount in question or any interest or other fees related to that amount. If we do not believe there was a mistake: You will 
have to pay the amount in question along with applicable interest and fees. We will send you a statement of the amount you 
owe and the date payment is due. We may then report you as delinquent if you do not pay the amount we think you owe. 
If you receive our explanation but still believe your bill is wrong, you must write to us within 10 days telling us that you still 
refuse to pay. If you do so, we cannot report you as delinquent without also reporting that you are questioning your bill. We 
must tell you the name of anyone to whom we reported you as delinquent, and we must let those organizations know when 
the matter has been settled between us. If we do not follow all of the rules above, you do not have to pay the first $50 of the 
amount you question even if your bill is correct.
 Your rights if you are dissatisfied with your Credit Card purchases: If you are dissatisfied with the goods or services that 
you have purchased with your credit card, and you have tried in good faith to correct the problem with the merchant, you may 
have the right not to pay the remaining amount due on the purchase. To use this right, all of the following must be true: 1) The 
purchase must have been made in your home state or within 100 miles of your current mailing address,and the purchase 
price must have been more than $50. These limitations do not apply 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: Blaze Mastercard Credit Card, PO Box 5096, Sioux Falls, SD 57117-5096. 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.

16.  ARBITRATION:  PLEASE  READ  THIS  PROVISION  OF  THE  CONTRACT  CAREFULLY.  YOU  AGREE  THAT  ANY 
DISPUTE  WILL  BE  RESOLVED  BY  BINDING  ARBITRATION.  ARBITRATION  REPLACES  THE  RIGHT  TO  GO  TO 
COURT, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO A JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR SIMILAR 
PROCEEDING. IN ARBITRATION, A DISPUTE IS RESOLVED BY AN ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF A JUDGE OR JURY.  
ARBITRATION  PROCEDURES  ARE  SIMPLER  AND  MORE  LIMITED  THAN  COURT  PROCEDURES.  YOU  ALSO 
AGREE ANY ARBITRATION WILL BE LIMITED TO THE DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND US AND WILL NOT BE PART 
OF A CLASS-WIDE OR CONSOLIDATED ARBITRATION PROCEEDING.
a.   Agreement to Arbitrate: You and we agree that any dispute will be resolved by arbitration. This provision of the contract is 
governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA), 9 USCS § 1 et seq. and the substantive law of the state of South Dakota.
b.   Definitions: Arbitration is a means of having an independent third party resolve a dispute. A “dispute” is any controversy or 
claim between you and us. The term dispute is to be given its broadest possible meaning and includes, without limitation, 
all  claims  or  demands  (whether  past,  present  or  future,  including  events  that  occurred  prior  to  the  opening  of  this 
account), based on any legal or equitable theory (tort, contract or otherwise), and regardless of the type of relief sought 
(i.e. money, injunctive relief or declaratory relief). A dispute includes, by way of example and without limitation, any claim 
based upon federal or state constitution, statute, ordinance, regulation, or common law, and any issue concerning the 
validity, enforceability or scope of this arbitration agreement. The term “you” includes any cosigner, co-obligor, guarantor, 
joint user or authorized user and also your heirs, guardian, personal representative or trustee in bankruptcy. The term 
“us” includes our employees, officers, directors, attorneys, affiliated companies, predecessors and assigns, as well as 
our marketing, servicing and collection representatives and agents.

c.   Selection of arbitrator. If a dispute arises, the party asserting the claim or defense must initiate arbitration, provided you 
or we may first try to resolve the matter informally or through customary business methods, including collection activity. 
The party filing arbitration may initiate and pursue the matter with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or we may 
agree upon a different arbitrator described below. If you claim you have a dispute with us, but do not initiate arbitration 
or select an arbitrator, we may do so. You may obtain copies of the current rules of AAA and forms and instructions for 
initiating arbitration by contacting them as follows: American Arbitration Association, 335 Madison Avenue, Floor 10, New 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
York, NY 10017-4605. Website: www.adr.org. The policies and procedures of the arbitrator will apply provided that they are 
consistent with this arbitration agreement. To the extent the arbitrator’s rules or procedures are different than the terms of 
this arbitration agreement, the terms of this agreement shall apply. If the AAA is not available to adjudicate the matter, or if 
the AAA is not convenient or acceptable to you, you and we may agree on one or more neutral arbitrators. If you and we 
cannot agree on arbitrator(s), an arbitrator will be appointed by a court with jurisdiction over the matter pursuant to the FAA.
d.   Cost of Arbitration: We will pay the filing fee and any costs or fees charged by the arbitrator regardless of whether you 
or we initiate the arbitration. Except where otherwise provided by applicable law, each party will be responsible for its 
own attorneys’ fees and other expenses. Unless prohibited by law, the arbitrator may award fees, costs and reasonable 
attorneys’ fees to the party who substantially prevails in the arbitration.

e.   Place of Arbitration: Unless you and we agree to a different location, the arbitration will be held in the same city as the 
U.S. District Court closest to your then-current mailing address. The arbitrator may decide the matter based upon written 
submissions by the parties if permitted under the arbitration rules.

f.   Waiver of Rights: You are waiving your right to a jury trial, to have a court decide your dispute, to participate in a class 
action lawsuit and to certain discovery and other procedures that are available in a lawsuit. The arbitrator has the ability 
to award all remedies available by statute, at law or in equity to the prevailing party. You and we agree that the arbitrator 
has no authority to conduct class-wide proceedings and will be restricted to resolving the individual disputes between you 
and us. If an arbitration firm or arbitrator fails or refuses to enforce the waiver of class-wide arbitration, then the dispute will 
proceed in court. The validity, effect and enforceability of this waiver of class action lawsuit and class-wide arbitration is to 
be determined solely by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by the arbitration firm or arbitrator. If such court refuses to 
enforce the class-wide arbitration waiver, then it is agreed the dispute will proceed in court rather than arbitration.

g.   Review of Arbitration Award. The arbitrator shall apply applicable federal and South Dakota substantive law and the 
terms of your agreements with us. The arbitrator shall make written findings and the arbitrator’s award may be filed with 
any court having jurisdiction. The arbitration award shall be supported by substantial evidence and must be consistent 
with your agreements with us and applicable law or may be set aside by a court upon judicial review.

h.   Other Provisions: If any portion of this arbitration agreement is subsequently deemed unenforceable, the enforceability of 
any other provision of this agreement shall not be affected and the unenforceable term shall be amended such that it is 
enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law provided that if a class action litigation or a class-wide arbitration is 
permitted for any reason, either party may require that the entire dispute be heard by a Judge, sitting without a jury, under 
applicable court rules and procedures. This arbitration provision shall survive: (i) termination or changes in your agreements 
with us, the account, or the relationship between you and us concerning the account; (ii) the bankruptcy of any party; and 
(iii) any transfer, sale or assignment of the Account, or any amounts owed on the account, to any other person or entity.
i.   Right to Opt-Out: If you do not wish to agree to arbitrate all disputes with us, you must advise us in writing at the following 
address within thirty (30) days of our mailing this agreement to you at the most recent mailing address we have for you: 
Blaze Mastercard Credit Card, PO Box 5096, Sioux Falls, SD 57117-5096.

17.  Delay in Enforcement: We can delay enforcing or fail to enforce any of our rights under this contract without losing our   

right to enforce them at a later time.

18.  Credit Reports: You authorize us to obtain credit reports about you for any legitimate business purpose. We may obtain a 
credit report for reviewing, modifying the terms, renewing the account or collection. We may report information about your 
account to credit bureaus. Late payments, missed payments, or other defaults on your account may be reflected in your 
credit report. You and each authorized user agree that we may report account information to credit reporting agencies in 
the names of both you and the authorized user(s).

19.  Change in Terms of Your Credit Account: We may change any term of this contract at any time upon notice to you as is 
required by law. You may have the right to reject the change in terms, depending on the type of change, and if you do, your 
account will be closed and you will be able to pay off the balance under the terms in effect at that time.

20.  Law Governing this Contract: This contract is entered in the State of South Dakota where the decision to grant credit will 
be made. Therefore, this contract will be governed by the laws of the State of South Dakota applicable to contracts, and 
applicable Federal law.

21.  Severability: If any provision of this contract is invalid or unenforceable under any law, rule or regulation, it shall not affect 

the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this contract.

22.  Default: You will be in default of this contract if any of the following occur:

a.  If you do not make a minimum payment on your account on or before the payment due date;
b.  If you die or become legally incompetent;
c.  If you become insolvent or bankrupt;
d.  If you exceed or attempt to exceed your credit limit;
e.  If you provide us with or have provided us with false or misleading information or signatures at any time;
f.  If you fail to comply with this contract;
g.  If you request an excessive number of replacement cards; or
h.  We reasonably deem the prospect of repayment of your account to be in jeopardy for any reason.
 If you are in default, we may immediately cancel your account and we do not have to give you notice of cancellation. We 
can also require that you pay us the balance on your account. You agree that you will return the card(s) to us. Even if an 
account is in default, you agree to pay interest and fees as defined in this contract until your balance is paid in full. If your 
account is in default and you try to make charges, we can use any legal means to recover the card(s) including listing your 
account in warning bulletins and offering rewards for the return of the cards. If you resolve a default situation, we can still 
declare your Account in default for the same or different reason at a later time.

23.  Cancellation: You may cancel your account at any time by notifying us in writing at the address on your monthly statement 
and returning all cards issued on your account (cut in half). Even if your account is closed, you agree to pay the balance on 
the account under the terms of this contract. We can suspend your account privileges or cancel your account at any time, 
for any reason. We will notify you after we do so, unless you are in default at that time. We will have no obligation to notify 
you prior to suspending your charging privileges or cancelling your account.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
24.  Refund of Initial Fees: If you cancel your account within 90 days after the card is first mailed to you and if you have not 

used your account for any charges, all fees and interest billed to your account will be credited back to your account.

25.  Collection Costs: Unless prohibited by applicable law, if we start collection proceedings to recover amounts you owe us 

by reason of this contract, you agree to pay reasonable attorney’s fees and other collection costs.

26.  Headings: The headings used in this contract are for the convenience of reference only and are not intended in any way 

to define or describe the scope or intent of any provision of this contract.
