CALIFORNIA CONSUMERS HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.  SEE SEPARATE PRIVACY NOTICE. 
WHAT DOES PREFERRED CREDIT, INC. (“PCI”) DO WITH YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION? 

Rev. 05/17 
Financial companies choose how they share your personal information.  Federal law gives consumers the right to limit some but not all sharing.  Federal law also requires us 
to tell you how we collect, share and protect your personal information.  Please read this notice carefully to understand what we do. 
The types of personal information we collect and share depend on the product or service you have with us.  This information can include: (1) Social Security Number and 
income; (2) account balances and payment history; and (3) credit history and credit scores.  
All financial companies need to share customers’ personal information to run their everyday business.  In the section below, we list the reasons financial companies can share 
their customers’ personal information; the reasons PCI chooses to share; and whether you can limit this sharing. 

Reasons we can share your personal information 
For our everyday business purposes - such as to process your transactions, maintain your account(s), respond to court 
orders and legal investigations, or report to the credit bureaus 
For our marketing purposes - to offer our products and services to you 
For joint marketing with other financial companies 
For our affiliates’ everyday business purposes - information about your transactions and experiences 
For our affiliates’ everyday business purposes - information about your creditworthiness 
For our affiliates to market to you 
For nonaffiliates to market to you

Questions?  Call 320-255-9784 or go to www.preferredcredit.com 
What we do 
How does PCI protect my personal information? - To protect your personal information from unauthorized access and use, we use security measures that comply with federal law. These 
measures include computer safeguards and secured files and buildings. We continually evaluate and access new technology for protecting your nonpublic personal information. 
How does PCI collect my personal information? - We collect personal information, for example, when you (1) apply for financing or give us your contact information; (2) provide account 
information or pay your bills; and (3) show your government-issued ID. We also collect your personal information from others, such as credit bureaus, affiliates, or other companies. 
Why can’t I limit all sharing? - Federal law gives you the right to limit only (1) sharing for affiliates’ everyday business purposes (i.e. information about your creditworthiness); (2) affiliates 
from using your information to market to you; and (3) sharing for nonaffiliates to market to you. State laws and individual companies may give you additional rights to limit sharing. See below 
for more on your rights under state law. 
What happens when I limit all sharing for an account I hold jointly with someone else? - Your choices will apply to everyone on your account unless you tell us otherwise. 
Definitions 
Affiliates - Companies related by common ownership or control. They can be financial or nonfinancial companies. PCI does not share with our affiliates. 
Nonaffiliates - Companies not related by common ownership or control. They can be financial and nonfinancial companies.  Nonaffiliates we share with can include direct marketing 
companies and the retailer named on your account. 
Joint Marketing - A formal agreement between nonaffiliated financial companies that together market financial products or services to you. PCI does not jointly market. 
Other Important Information 
We follow state law if state law provides you with additional privacy protections.

RETAIL CHARGE AGREEMENT: ADDITIONAL TERMS AND DISCLOSURES

law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.  What this means for you: When you open an account, we will 
ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver's license or other identifying documents.

Billing Rights: Information on your rights to dispute transactions and how to exercise those rights is provided in your account agreement. 
1. Definitions: In this Retail Charge Agreement ("Agreement"): The word "Account" refers to the account that is established with the Seller, and their successors or assigns, that is the subject 
of this Agreement. The words "you" and "your" refer to each individual who signs the Application for the Account, and who is authorized to use the Account. The words "we," "us," and "our" 
refer to the Seller, and any assignee of the Seller. The words “Acceptable Documentation” shall refer to Purchase Orders, phone orders, or orders from our website, so long as such orders 
are signed (physically or electronically) or otherwise verbally or electronically authenticated. The words "Applicable Law" shall mean federal law and the laws of the state of California. You and 
we agree that these Applicable Laws apply to this Agreement. The words “Purchase Order” refer to the document describing the type, quantity and agreed price of merchandise you buy from 
the Seller. 
2. Account: This Agreement applies to your retail charge purchase of goods and services from us. The amount of your initial purchase from Seller will govern the amount of the initial credit 
limit on your Account, which will be set at a higher amount than the cost of the goods purchased based on our expectation that you will use the Account to make additional purchases. You 
may make add-on purchases from the Seller or Seller's assigns which will be evidenced by Acceptable Documentation. Acceptable Documentation must provide the cash price of the 
merchandise purchased. By signing future Acceptable Documentation you agree those purchases thereby confirmed will be subject to this Agreement. You agree that add-on orders which 
exceed the credit limit established with your initial order are subject to credit approval. We reserve the right to deny authorization for any requested credit limit increase. 
3. Promise to Pay: In return for extending credit to you on this Account from time to time, each of you agrees to pay for all purchases any of you charge on this Account, and all other charges 
mentioned below, according to the terms of this Agreement. When you sign the Application for this Account, you will be agreeing to the terms and conditions in this Agreement, which include 
the cost of credit disclosures required by Applicable Law. This Agreement will not be effective until we approve your Application, and we or our assignee provides any disclosures required by 
the Truth in Lending Act, and then, after that, only if you or someone authorized by you sign a Purchase Order or otherwise charge a purchase to this Account. 
4. Billing: You will be billed monthly for credit purchases from us, as shown on a Purchase Order signed by you (or completed at your direction), and for any previous unpaid balance. You will 
receive a monthly periodic statement of account for any month in which you have an outstanding balance of more than $1.00 or on which an Interest Charge has been imposed. Your monthly 
periodic statement of account will show your new unpaid balance, any new purchases you have made since your last monthly periodic statement of account, and your Minimum Monthly 
Payment. Your credit limit will also be shown on your monthly periodic statement of account.  
5. Payment:  You have the right to pay your entire balance in full or more than the Minimum Monthly Payment at any time. Otherwise, you agree to pay at least the Minimum Monthly 
Payment, which includes Interest Charges. You must make payment in U.S. Dollars, with a draft, money order, or check drawn on a U.S. Bank or the U.S. Post Office. We may accept late 
payment, partial payments, or any payments marked "payment in full," without losing any of our rights under this Agreement or Applicable Law. 
6. Interest Charges: Unless you are offered a Promotional Credit Plan as described below, Interest Charges will begin to accrue upon delivery of the merchandise you purchase. Delivery 
occurs upon the earlier of the date of shipment of the merchandise, or the date of hand delivery of the merchandise. No Interest Charges will be imposed on new purchases, however, if: (a) 
there was no outstanding balance under your Account at the beginning of the billing period in which the purchase was made (which includes the period in which you make your initial purchase 
of merchandise under this Agreement), and (b) you pay off your Account in full by the payment due date reflected in the monthly periodic statement of account for that billing period (though no 
payment may be due). We figure the Interest Charge on your Account by applying the daily periodic rate to the “daily balance” of your account for each day in the billing cycle.  To determine 
the daily balance, we take the beginning balance each day, add any new charges posted that day, and subtract any payments and credits posted that day. This gives us the daily balance.  Then, 
we calculate the amount of interest charged by multiplying the applicable daily periodic rate by each daily balance on your account.  Your Interest Charge for the billing cycle is the sum of the 
interest amounts that were charged each day during the billing cycle. Your daily periodic rate and the corresponding Annual Percentage Rate are indicated in the chart below. The daily periodic 
rate will be the annual rate divided by 365 (366 in a leap year).

7. Minimum Monthly Interest Charge:  As allowed by Applicable Law, if the Interest Charge that results from the application of the above stated daily periodic rate (the "Calculated Interest 
Charge"), is less than $0.50, we will impose a minimum monthly INTEREST CHARGE of $0.50.   
8. Minimum Monthly Payment:  You will make payments of at least the total Minimum Monthly Payment each month as required by our monthly periodic statements of 
Account. Your total Minimum Monthly Payment will consist of: (1) any past due amounts, and (2) a regularly scheduled Minimum Monthly Payment.   The regularly 
scheduled Minimum Monthly Payment will be equal to the greater of: (a) the regularly scheduled Minimum Monthly Payment shown on your Purchase Order; (b) $25.00; 
or (c) the applicable percentage of the Account balance immediately following the first or any subsequent purchase as follows: 

Balance

Over $3000.01

9. Promotional Credit Plans:  In addition to purchases that accrue Interest Charges and require monthly payments as described previously in this Agreement, as part of this Account, 
Promotional Credit Plans may be offered from time to time on specific additional purchases for qualified buyers. Purchases made under these Promotional Credit Plans may have different 
interest charge calculations and required minimum payments. A Promotional Credit Plan is strictly limited by its terms and the terms and conditions of the special promotion to which it relates. 
In addition, the benefits of a Promotional Credit Plan will expire and all accrued Interest Charges in these plans will be added to your Account if you fail to pay the promotional balance by the 
end of the promotional period or you are in default for a period of 60 or more days during the promotional period. The special promotions that may be offered include: 
9.a. Same as Cash Plan:  If you pay the full purchase price before the expiration date of a Same as Cash Plan, as indicated on your monthly periodic statement of account, and pay the 
Minimum Monthly Payment each billing period when due, no Interest Charges will be imposed on the purchase. If such payments are not made, Interest Charges from the date of delivery will 
be added to your Account either when you fail to make a payment within 60 days of the due date or, at the end of the Same as Cash Plan period if any portion of the promotional balance 
remains outstanding.  
9.a.1 How Payments Are Applied When Same as Cash Plan Is In Effect: Unless otherwise required by Applicable Law, during the two billing cycles immediately preceding expiration of 
the Same as Cash Plan period, any amount paid in excess of the minimum payment due will be allocated first to the balance subject to the Same as Cash Plan and any remaining portion to 
any other balances.  We may offer Same as Cash Plan periods of 6 months, 9 months, 12 months or of different lengths that we will announce from time to time. 
10. Application of Payments: Unless otherwise required by Applicable Law, payments except down payments, shall be applied first to past due Minimum Monthly Payments, beginning with 
the oldest, then to the current Minimum Monthly Payment, and then to other unpaid late fees, costs and fees arising under this Agreement.  
11. Other Charges: 
11.a. Late Fees: You will pay the maximum late fee allowed (which you agree we will add to the balance due on your Account) for payments not made on time, calculated as Applicable Law 
Page 3 of 5 

 
allows. The statutory time period for imposition of a Late Fee is 15 days after the due date (“Due Date’) for each payment not received on the scheduled Due Date. Currently, the maximum 
late fee allowed is $15.  Notwithstanding the preceding provisions, you will not be charged more than the amount of the required minimum periodic payment due immediately prior to the 
assessment of the late payment fee. 
11.b. Returned Check Charge: You will pay a returned check charge (which you agree we will add to the balance due on your Account) if any check, negotiable order of withdrawal, 
share draft, or item you give us for payment under the Agreement is dishonored for any reason by the bank or other institution on which it is drawn. We will impose the maximum returned 
check charge as Applicable Law allows. Currently, that amount is $15. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions, you will not be charged more than the amount of the required minimum 
periodic payment due immediately prior to the date on which the payment is returned or otherwise dishonored. If your payment is returned unpaid, you authorize us to make a one-time 
electronic fund transfer from your account to collect a fee as provided above. 
12. Security Agreement: You grant us a purchase money security interest in each household good purchased with this Account (“Goods”) to the full extent not prohibited by Applicable Law 
(including the Uniform Commercial Code).  You will, on request, take all reasonable actions requested by us to preserve and protect the Goods and our security interest in the Goods. You 
also agree to take all reasonable actions requested by us to establish, determine the priority of, perfect, continue the perfection of, terminate or enforce our security interest in the Goods and 
our rights under this Agreement.  In addition to other rights we may have under this Agreement, if you do not make payments as agreed, this security interest allows us to take actions not 
prohibited by Applicable Law governing security interests in the Goods. You also agree to keep the Goods installed at the address you provided in your credit application and to not remove or 
alter the Goods without our prior written consent. You may lose the Goods if you do not meet your obligations to us under this Agreement. We have not (and will not) take any security interest 
to secure repayment of obligations under this Agreement apart from an interest in goods as set forth herein, even when we file a financing statement. Accordingly, we do not maintain 
any interest in your dwelling or real property and waive any right we (or our assignee) may have to foreclose on real property pursuant to any applicable real property foreclosure laws. 
13. Default: If you fail to make any payment when due, or if the prospect of your payment, performance, or our realization of collateral is significantly impaired, to the extent not prohibited by 
Applicable Law, and subject to any notice required by Applicable Law, we may declare the full remaining balance immediately due and payable. We may also repossess any article of 
merchandise in which we retain a security interest if we do so peacefully and the law allows it.  Notwithstanding the preceding provisions, in the event of a late payment or nonpayment, we will 
not declare the full remaining balance immediately due and payable or repossess any article of merchandise if, within fifteen days of the date on which the installment was due, we receive 
payment together with any late fees. If you fail to pay within 15 days of the due date, we may, at our option, declare the full remaining balance immediately due and payable, to the extent 
permitted by Applicable law. Unless we are required by Applicable Law to provide you a notice of a right to cure, you agree that we do not have to give you notice that we intend to demand or 
are demanding immediate payment of all you owe. If the Account is referred to an attorney who is not our salaried employee and we bring suit against you to collect the amount you owe and 
we are the prevailing party, you agree to pay our reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs as not prohibited by Applicable Law. You also agree to pay our collection costs and costs incurred 
in taking the collateral, holding it, preparing it for sale, and selling it as not prohibited by Applicable Law.    
14. Canceling or Reducing Your Credit Limit: We have the right at any time to limit or terminate the use of your Account and raise or lower your credit limit without giving you advance notice. 
Some purchases will require prior authorization, in which case you may be asked to provide identification. If our authorizations system is unavailable, we may not be able to authorize a 
transaction, even if you have sufficient credit. We will not be liable to you if this happens. We are not responsible for the refusal of anyone to accept or honor an addition to this Account. In 
addition, even if you cancel the use of your Account, you are still responsible for any Account balances incurred by an authorized user that remain unpaid. 
15. Change in Terms: You agree that we may amend the terms of this Agreement, subject to any notice required by Applicable Law. To the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law, any new 
terms may be applied to any balance existing on the Account at the time of the change, as well as subsequent transactions. 
16. Delay in Taking Action: We will not lose any of our rights under this Agreement if we delay taking action for any reason. To the extent allowed by law, we may take other action not 
described in this Agreement, and by doing so will not lose our rights under this Agreement. 
17. Severability: If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable, all other provisions shall remain in full force and effect. 
18. Applicable Law: Federal and California law apply to this Agreement. 
19. Telephone Recording: You understand and agree that for our mutual protection, we may electronically record any of your telephone conversations conducted with Seller or Seller's 
assigns, including Preferred Credit, Inc. (PCI), without further notice to the parties to such conversations.  These telephone conversations include all conversations between you and Seller or 
Seller's assigns communicated via traditional telephone wire and wireless devices such as cordless and cellular phones.  You acknowledge and consent to the retention of and use of such 
recordings by Seller or Seller's assigns, their employees, representatives and agents of all information and data obtained in any recorded conversation for purposes of settling disputes as well 
as for ongoing quality assurance programs. 
20. Communications: You expressly authorize us or our agents to contact you at any phone number (including mobile, cellular/wireless, or similar devices), fax number, email address or 
social media account, you provide at any time, for any lawful purpose. The ways in which we may contact you include live operator, automatic telephone dialing systems (auto-dialer), 
prerecorded message, text message, fax, email or post. Phone numbers, fax numbers, email addresses and social media accounts you provide include those you give to us, those from which 
you contact us or which we obtain through other means. Such lawful purposes include, but are not limited to: obtaining information; account transactions or servicing related matters; suspected 
fraud or identity theft; collection on the Account; and providing information about special products and services. You agree to pay any fee(s) or charge(s) that you may incur for incoming 
communications from us or outgoing communications to us, to or from any such number, email address or social media account, without reimbursement from us. 
21. Credit Investigation and Reporting: You agree that we may investigate your credit in connection with the initial extension, review, or collection of your Account.  You agree that we may 
examine employment and income records, verify your credit references, and report to credit reporting agencies, merchants, and other creditors the status and payment history of your Account.  
A negative credit report may be submitted to a credit reporting agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligations.

Account information: Your name and account number.

• 

At least 3 business days before an automated payment is scheduled, if you want to stop payment on the amount you think is wrong.   

You must notify us of any potential errors in writing. You may call us, but if you do we are not required to investigate any potential errors and you may have to pay the amount in question.  

What Will Happen After We Receive Your Letter 
When we receive your letter, we must do two things: 

1.  Within 30 days of receiving your letter, we must tell you that we received your letter. We will also tell you if we have already corrected the error. 
2.  Within 90 days of receiving your letter, we must either correct the error or explain to you why we believe the bill is correct. 

While we investigate whether or not there has been an error: 

The charge in question may remain on your statement, and we may continue to charge you interest on that amount. 

•  We cannot try to collect the amount in question, or report you as delinquent on the 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 the 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 Account Purchases: 
If you are dissatisfied with the goods or services that you have purchased with your Account, 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: 

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.) 

1. 

2.  You must have used your Account for the purchase. Purchases made with cash advances from an ATM or with a check that accesses your 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: Preferred Credit, Inc., P.O. Box 1679, St. Cloud, MN 56302. 

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.
