Using Your Account
Your AgreementYou agree to use your Account in accordance with this Agreement. You agree to pay us for all amounts due on
your Account, including charges made by Authorized Users. You agree not to use your Account for illegal
transactions.
Use of AccountYou may use your Account to make purchases anywhere the Card is accepted. If your Card has the logo of one
of our network providers (e.g., Visa and Mastercard), you may use your Account to make Cash Advances.
Authorized UsersYou may request Cards for Authorized Users. You must notify us if you wish to cancel the authority of an
Authorized User to use your Account.
Joint AccountsIf this is a joint Account, each of you agrees to be individually and jointly liable for the entire amount owed. Any

refuses any use of your Card.

APRs and Interest Based on APRs
Review your Summary for the APRs that apply to your Account
Variable APRsWe add the applicable Margin specified in the Rate Information chart on the Summary to the Prime Rate to
determine Variable APRs. Variable APRs increase or decrease when the Prime Rate changes but will not exceed
any Maximum APR specified in the Rate Information chart.
Any APR change will take effect on the first day of the billing period that begins after the Prime Rate changes.
Increased APRs will increase your interest charges and may increase your Minimum Payment. 9/9/2021 Big Lots Credit Card - Legal Docs - Credit Card Agreement
https://d.comenity .net/biglots/pub/requestCca/requestCca.xhtml 8/26Daily Balance Method
(including current
transactions)We calculate interest for each Credit Plan each day by applying the applicable daily periodic rate to the daily
balance. The daily periodic rate is the APR for the Credit Plan divided by 365.
We start with the beginning balance each day (including unpaid interest and fees).
We add new transactions and fees to the applicable Credit Plan. We add transaction fees to the same Credit
Plan as the transaction. We add all other fees to the regular purchase Credit Plan.
We subtract new credits and payments from the applicable Credit Plan and make other adjustments to get the
partial daily balance.
We multiply the partial daily balance by the daily periodic rate to get the daily interest.
We add the daily interest to the partial daily balance to get the daily balance. This results in daily compounding
of interest.
We add all the daily interest to get the total interest for the Credit Plan for the billing period. For a Deferred
Interest Credit Plan, this interest is deferred.
We round interest to the nearest cent.
InterestCharging Interest: Interest begins on a transaction, fee or interest from the day added to the daily balance until
paid in full.
How to Avoid Paying Interest on Regular Purchases (Grace Period): If you did not have a Previous Balance,
or if you paid the New Balance on your previous statement by the Due Date on that statement, we will not
charge interest on new regular purchases, or any portion thereof, paid by the Due Date on your current
statement. If you have promotional Credit Plans and/or balance transfers, we may exclude some of those
balances from the amount you have to pay in a billing period to keep your Grace Period. However, you must pay
(i) any required minimum payment on such balances, (ii) the full amount of any Cash Advances and (iii) the full
amount of any promotional Credit Plan that expires in that billing period.
You Could Lose Your Grace Period: If you do not pay your New Balance in full each billing period, then,
depending on how we apply your payment, you may not get a Grace Period on new regular purchases. Once you
lose your Grace Period, you can get it back by paying the New Balance (less any promotional Credit Plans and/or
balance transfers as described above plus any interest charged up to the date the payment posts) in full for two
billing periods in a row.
Waived Interest Credit Plan: We do not impose interest on plan balances during the promotional period. After
the promotional period, any remaining balance is added to the regular purchase balance and is subject to interest
at the then-current rate for regular purchases.
Deferred Interest Credit Plan: Interest accrues on plan balances from the transaction date. We do not impose
that interest if you pay the balance in full by the end of the promotional period. After the promotional period, any
remaining balance and interest from the transaction date is added to the regular purchase balance and is subject
to interest at the then-current rate for regular purchases. 9/9/2021 Big Lots Credit Card - Legal Docs - Credit Card Agreement

Key ProvisionsPlease review the following important provisions carefully. Pay special attention to Paragraphs:
� A: Jury Trial Waiver;
� C: Arbitration Provision;
� C.1: Right to Reject;
� C.6: Court and Jury Trials Prohibited; Other Limitations on Legal Rights; and
� C.7: Class Action Waiver.
A. Jury Trial WaiverTo the extent permitted by law, you and we waive any right to trial by jury in the event of a lawsuit arising
out of or related to this Agreement. This jury trial waiver shall not affect the Arbitration Provision below
(including the jury trial waiver contained therein). You and we each represent that this waiver is given
knowingly, willingly and voluntarily.
B. Notice and CurePrior to bringing a lawsuit or initiating an arbitration that asserts a claim arising out of or related to this
Agreement (as further defined below, �Claim�), the party asserting the Claim (�Claimant�) shall give the other
party (�Defendant�) written notice of the Claim (�Claim Notice�) and a reasonable opportunity, not less than 30
days, to resolve the Claim. Any Claim Notice to you shall be sent to the address we have in our records (or any
updated address you subsequently provide to us). Any Claim Notice to us shall be sent by mail to the address
for Arbitration Claims on the Summary (or any updated address we subsequently provide). Any Claim Notice you
send must provide your name, address and Account number and explain the nature of the Claim and relief
demanded. You may only submit a Claim Notice on your own behalf and not on behalf of any other party. No
third party, other than a lawyer you have personally retained, may submit a Claim Notice on your behalf. The
Claimant must reasonably cooperate in providing any information about the Claim that the Defendant reasonably
requests.
C. Arbitration
ProvisionReview this provision carefully. If you do not reject it in accordance with Paragraph C.1, Right to Reject,
below, it will be part of this Agreement and will have a substantial impact on the way you or we will
resolve any Claim you or we have against each other now or in the future.
1. Right to RejectIf you don�t want this Arbitration Provision (and any prior arbitration agreement between you and us
(�Prior Arbitration Agreement�)) to apply, you may reject it by mailing us a written rejection notice which
gives your name and contains a statement that you (both of you, if more than one) reject the Arbitration
Provision of this Agreement. The rejection notice must be sent to us at the address for Arbitration
Rejection on the Summary. A rejection notice is only effective if it is signed by you (all of you, if more
than one) and if we receive it within 30 calendar days after the date we first provide you with a credit card
agreement or written notice providing you a right to reject this Arbitration Provision. Your rejection of this
Arbitration Provision will not affect any other provision of this Agreement or your ability to obtain credit. 9/9/2021 Big Lots Credit Card - Legal Docs - Credit Card Agreement
https://d.comenity .net/biglots/pub/requestCca/requestCca.xhtml 13/262. Parties Solely as used in this Arbitration Provision (and not elsewhere in this Agreement), the terms �we,� �us� and �our�
mean
a. the issuer of your Card named on the Summary and its successors and/or assigns, as well as any parent,
subsidiary or affiliate of theirs and their employees, officers and directors (the �Bank Parties�); and
b. any other person or company that provides any services in connection with this Agreement if you assert a
Claim against such other person or company at the same time you assert a Claim against any Bank Party.
3. Covered Claims�Claim� means any claim, dispute or controversy between you and us that in any way arises from or relates to
this Agreement, the Account, the issuance of any Card, any rewards program and/or any prior agreement or
account. �Claim� includes disputes arising from actions or omissions prior to the date any Card was issued to
you, including the advertising related to, application for or approval of the Account. �Claim� has the broadest
possible meaning, and includes initial claims, counterclaims, cross-claims and third-party claims. It includes
disputes based on 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). �Claim�
does not include disputes about the validity, enforceability, coverage or scope of this Arbitration Provision or any
part thereof (including, without limitation, the prohibition against class proceedings, private attorney general
proceedings and/or multiple party proceedings described in Paragraph C.7, Prohibitions Against Certain
Proceedings (Class Action Waiver), Paragraph C.13, Severability, 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.
4. Starting an
ArbitrationArbitration may be elected by any party with respect to any Claim, even if that party has already initiated a
lawsuit with respect to a different Claim. Arbitration is started by giving a written demand for arbitration to the
other party. We will not demand to arbitrate an individual Claim that you bring against us in small claims court or
your state�s equivalent court, if any. But if that Claim is transferred, removed or appealed to a different court, we
then have the right to demand arbitration.
5. Administrator �Administrator� means the American Arbitration Association (�AAA�), 120 Broadway, 21st Floor, New York, NY
10271, www.adr.org; JAMS, 620 Eighth Avenue, 34th Floor, New York, NY 10018, www.jamsadr.com; 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.
The arbitrator will be appointed by the Administrator in accordance with the rules of the Administrator. However,
the arbitrator must be a retired or former judge or a lawyer with at least 10 years of experience. 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 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 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 9/9/2021 Big Lots Credit Card - Legal Docs - Credit Card Agreement
https://d.comenity .net/biglots/pub/requestCca/requestCca.xhtml 14/26Provision 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 the Class Action
Waiver.
6. Court and Jury
Trials Prohibited; Other
Limitations on Legal
RightsIf you or we elect to arbitrate a Claim, you will not have the right to pursue that Claim in court or have a
jury decide the Claim. Also, your ability to obtain information from us is more limited in arbitration than in
a lawsuit. Other rights that you would have if you went to court may also not be available in arbitration.
7. Prohibition Against
Certain Proceedings
(Class Action Waiver)If you or we elect to arbitrate a Claim:
a. neither you nor we may participate in a class action in court or in class-wide arbitration, either as a
plaintiff, defendant or class member;
b. neither you nor we may act as a private attorney general in court or in arbitration;
c. Claims brought by or against you may not be joined or consolidated with Claims brought by or against
any other person; and
d. the arbitrator shall have no power or authority to conduct a class-wide arbitration, private attorney
general arbitration or multiple-party arbitration.
8. Location and CostsAny arbitration hearing that you attend must take place at a location reasonably convenient to you. We will pay
any and all fees of the Administrator and/or the arbitrator if applicable law requires us to, if you prevail in the
arbitration or if we must bear such fees in order for this Arbitration Provision to be enforced. If you demand an
arbitration, we will pay your reasonable attorneys� and experts� fees if you prevail or if we must bear such fees
in order for this Arbitration Provision to be enforced. Also, we will bear any fees if applicable law requires us to.
9. Governing LawThis Arbitration Provision involves interstate commerce and is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C.
�� 1-16 (�FAA�), and not by any state arbitration law. The arbitrator must apply applicable substantive law
consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations and claims of privilege recognized at law. The
arbitrator may award any remedy provided by the substantive law that would apply if the action were pending in
court (including, without limitation, punitive damages, which shall be governed by the Constitutional standards
employed by the courts). At the timely request of either party, the arbitrator must provide a brief written
explanation of the basis for the award.
10. DiscoveryIn addition to the parties� rights to obtain discovery pursuant to the arbitration rules of the Administrator, either
party may submit a written request to the arbitrator to expand the scope of discovery normally allowable under
the arbitration rules of the Administrator. The arbitrator shall have discretion to grant or deny that request.
11. Result and AppealsJudgment upon the arbitrator�s award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction. The arbitrator�s decision is
final and binding, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA and/or the rules of the Administrator. Any
finding, award or judgment from an arbitration of any Claim shall apply only to that arbitration. No finding, award
or judgment from any other arbitration shall impact the arbitration of any Claim. 9/9/2021 Big Lots Credit Card - Legal Docs - Credit Card Agreement
https://d.comenity .net/biglots/pub/requestCca/requestCca.xhtml 15/2612. Interpretation This Arbitration Provision shall survive the repayment of all amounts owed under this Agreement, the closing of
the Account, any legal proceeding and any bankruptcy to the extent consistent with applicable bankruptcy law. In
the event of a conflict or inconsistency between this Arbitration Provision and the applicable arbitration rules or
the other provisions of this Agreement, this Arbitration Provision shall govern. This Arbitration Provision replaces
any Prior Arbitration Agreement.
13. SeverabilityIf any portion of this Arbitration Provision is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall
nevertheless remain in force, subject to two exceptions. First, if a determination is made that the Class Action
Waiver is unenforceable, and that determination is not reversed on appeal, then the Arbitration Provision shall be
void in its entirety. Second, if a court determines that a public injunctive relief Claim may proceed
notwithstanding the Class Action Waiver, and that determination is not reversed on appeal, then the public
injunctive relief Claim will be decided by a court, any individual Claims will be arbitrated, and the parties will ask
the court to stay the public injunctive relief Claim until the other Claims have been finally concluded.
14. Special PaymentThe arbitrator shall award you at least $5,100 (plus any fees and costs to which you are entitled) if:
a. you submit a Claim Notice in accordance with Paragraph B, Notice and Cure, above on your own behalf (and
not on behalf of any other party);
b. we refuse to provide you with the relief you request before an arbitrator is appointed; and
c. an arbitrator subsequently determines that you were entitled to such relief (or greater relief).

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:
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. 9/9/2021 Big Lots Credit Card - Legal Docs - Credit Card Agreement
https://d.comenity .net/biglots/pub/requestCca/requestCca.xhtml 17/26If 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 the address for Billing Errors
on the Summary.
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.
