INTEREST  CHARGES: 

Periodic  Rates. 

CHARGES  AND  FEES 

INTEREST CHARGES for purchases and cash advances are calculated at a monthly periodic rate of 2.0825%, which is 
equivalent to an ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE ("APR") of 24.99%. 

Variable  Rate. 

The APR may increase or decrease on the first day of the subsequent monthly Billing Cycle based on changes in the 
prime rate ("Index"). The APR is calculated by adding the amount of margin stated below to the Index. The Index is the 
prime rate published in the Money Rates section of The Wall Street Journal on the 25th day of each month. If the Index is 
not published on that day, the Index on the next business day will be used. Any increase in the APR may increase the 
amount of interest charged to your Account and the total amount you must pay, and may take the form of an increase in 
the monthly Minimum Payment. If the Index is no longer available, we will choose a new index that is based upon 
comparable information. The APR for purchases and cash advances will be determined by adding a margin of 20.99% to 
the Index. 

INTEREST CHARGES are imposed on purchases beginning on the date a purchase is posted to your Account. 
However, INTEREST CHARGES will not be imposed on purchases made in any Billing Cycle in which the previous 
balance shown on your Monthly Billing Statement is zero and you pay your new balance in full by the Payment Due Date 
shown on your Monthly Billing Statement. INTEREST CHARGES are imposed on cash advances beginning on the date 
a cash advance is obtained and continuing until the balance of your Account is paid in full. There is no time in which you 
can pay the balance of cash advances in order to completely avoid INTEREST CHARGES. 

INTEREST CHARGES for a Billing Cycle are calculated separately for purchases and cash advances. There is no 
minimum INTEREST CHARGE. The INTEREST CHARGE calculation begins on the date the transaction is posted to 
your  Account. 

For purchases, the INTEREST CHARGE is computed by multiplying the monthly periodic rate by the average daily 
balance of purchases. To determine the average daily balance of purchases, we take the beginning outstanding balance 
of purchases each day, add any new purchases, and subtract any payments and/or credits. This gives us the daily 
balance of purchases. (Any daily balance that is a credit balance is treated as zero ($0.00) balance.) Then, we add all the 
daily balances of purchases for the Billing Cycle together and divide the total by the number of days in the Billing Cycle. 
This gives us the average daily balance of purchases. 

For cash advances, the INTEREST CHARGE is computed by multiplying the monthly periodic rate by the average daily 
balance of cash advances. To get the average daily balance of cash advances, we take the beginning outstanding 
balance of cash advances each day, add in any new cash advances, and subtract any payments and/or credits that we 
apply to the cash advance balance. This gives us the daily balance of cash advances. (Any daily balance that is a credit 
balance is treated as zero ($0.00) balance.) Then, we add all the daily balances of cash advances for the Billing Cycle 
together and divide the total by the number of days in the Billing Cycle. This gives us the average daily balance of cash 
advances. 

FEES  AND  OTHER  CHARGES: 

Your Account is subject to the following Fees and Other Charges, each of which may be charged to your Account: 

Cash Advance Fee. In addition to the INTEREST CHARGE on cash advances, there is a fee of 5% or $5, whichever is 
greater, for each cash advance posted to your Account that month ("Cash Advance Fee"). NO CASH ADVANCES ARE 
PERMITTED DURING THE FIRST 95 DAYS AN ACCOUNT IS OPEN.  

Additional Card Fee. Your Account will be assessed a one-time additional card fee of $30 for each authorized user you 
add to your Account. 

Foreign Currency Transaction Fee. Your Account will be assessed a foreign currency transaction fee equal to 3% of 
any transaction made in a foreign currency that is converted to U.S. Dollars.  

Annual Fee. Your Account will be assessed an Annual Fee of $99 (“Annual Fee”). The Annual Fee will be billed to your 
Account once the account is opened, and on or about your anniversary date each year. Your payment of the Annual Fee 
does not affect our right to close your Account or our ability to limit transactions on your Account. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Annual Fee Renewal Refund Disclosure. We will refund the Annual Fee charged to your Account if you 
notify us, within 30 days from the date of the Monthly Billing Statement on which it appears, that you wish to 
close your Account. 

Late Payment Fee. If we do not receive a payment from you in at least the amount of the minimum 
payment due ("Minimum Payment") by the Payment Due Date shown on your Monthly Billing Statement, 
you will be charged a Late Payment Fee equal to the lesser of $30 or your Minimum Payment ("Late 
Payment Fee") in accordance with law. If you fail to make a timely payment in any of the six (6) Billing 
Cycles after the initial late payment, you will be charged 
$41 or the amount of the required Minimum Payment, whichever is less. We may refer to this fee as the "Late 
Fee" or "Late  Charge". 

Returned Payment Fee. If you make a payment on your Account and your check or other payment 
instrument (including an electronic funds transfer or a telephone authorized draft) is not honored for any 
reason or cannot be processed, we will charge a Returned Payment Fee equal to the lesser of $30 or your 
Minimum Payment ("Returned Payment Fee"). In the event a payment is returned in any of the six (6) Billing 
Cycles after the initial returned payment, you will be charged $41 or the amount of the required Minimum 
Payment, whichever is less. The charge may be imposed even if we elect to re-present the item and it is 
paid upon our re- presentment. We will not charge both a Late Payment Fee and a Returned Payment Fee 
based upon a single payment. 

OPTIONAL EXPEDITED PAYMENT SERVICE FEE: If you opt to make an expedited payment by calling a live 
customer service representative by phone, we may impose an Expedited Payment Service Fee. You will be 
informed of the exact amount of the Expedited Payment Service Fee before you complete the transaction. An 
“expedited payment” means crediting a payment to your Account the same day, or if the payment is received on 
a day that we do not receive payments, or after 5:00pm EST, then crediting the payment to your Account on the 
next business day we receive payments. If you choose to make an expedited payment through a self-service 
method, including through the automated telephone system, online or via the Mobile App, no Expedited Payment 
Service Fee is imposed. In addition, Late Payment Fees may apply if your account is past due. 

OTHER  IMPORTANT  DISCLOSURES:

giving this information in order to obtain credit and authorize us to obtain information concerning any

You agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions, which shall constitute an agreement between 
you and us. Furthermore, by accepting and using the Card, or paying any INTEREST CHARGES, Fees, or 
Other Charges, whichever comes first, you expressly agree to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement

Please read this Agreement carefully and save it for future reference. It contains important state and federal 
disclosures,  including  Regulation  Z  disclosures  and  disclosures  regarding  your  rights  in  case  of  errors  or 
inquiries about your bill and important provisions relating to arbitration and litigation. 

Applicable  Law. 

This Agreement and your Account, and any claim, dispute or controversy (whether in contract, tort, or 
otherwise) at any time arising from or related to your Account, this Agreement or any transferred balances, 
are governed by and construed in accordance with applicable federal law and, to the extent not preempted 
by federal law, by the laws of Missouri (without applying its choice-of-law rules), including Mo. Rev. Stat. § 
408.145 (“Applicable Law”). For Maryland cardholders, in the event Missouri law does not apply, we elect 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Sections 12-103(a)(1) and 12-501 et seq. of the Commercial Law. The formation, legality, enforceability, and 
interpretation of this Agreement, and any amounts contracted for, charged and received under this 
Agreement, will be governed by such laws. This Agreement is entered into between you and us in Missouri, 
regardless of the state of your residence or whether or not your Account or Card is used in Missouri. Our

Charges. You may reject this Card, provided that you have not yet used the Card or paid INTEREST 
CHARGES, Fees, or Other Charges after receiving a Monthly Billing Statement. If you reject the Card, you

contrary in this Agreement, if you are a resident of the State of New York, this Agreement is effective upon 
your acceptance and use of the Card. 

Changes in Agreement Terms. We can change any term of this Agreement, including the rate at which or 
manner in which INTEREST CHARGES, Fees, and Other Charges are calculated, in our sole discretion, 
upon such notice to you as is required by law. At our option, any change will apply both to your new activity

Binding Effect. This Agreement is binding upon and enforceable against your heirs, legal representatives, 
and successors.

enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement shall not be affected, and in lieu of such invalid or 
unenforceable provision there shall be added automatically, as part of this Agreement, a provision as similar 
in terms as may be valid and enforceable, if possible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a class action 
litigation or a class-wide arbitration is permitted for any reason, either party may require that the entire 
Dispute, as defined in the Arbitration Provision below, be heard by a judge, sitting without a jury, under 
applicable court rules and procedures. 

Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with your Application, and if applicable, the Continental 
Credit Protection Addendum, constitutes the final and complete credit agreement between you and us 
relating to your Account and supersedes and may not be contradicted by evidence of any prior, 
contemporaneous, or subsequent oral credit agreement between you and us relating to your Account. 

USING  YOUR  CARD 

Sign Your Card. To avoid unauthorized use of your Card, please sign the back of your Card immediately. 

General Use. You may use your Card and your Account to make purchases if your Account is in good 
standing and you have available credit. Your Card and Account may be used only for valid and lawful 
purposes. If you or an Authorized User uses your Card and Account for any other purpose, you will be 
responsible for the use and may be required to reimburse us for all amounts or expenses we pay as a result 
of the use. No cash advances are permitted within the first ninety five (95) days after an Account is open. 
After ninety five (95) days have elapsed from Account opening, you may obtain cash advances (See Cash 
Advance Fee section). You may not use the Card or your Account for any illegal transaction or any gambling 
transaction. We will decline identifiable gambling transactions. We may impose restrictions on your Account 
at any time as determined to be necessary by us in connection with our efforts to detect fraud or 
unauthorized use, including restrictions on (a) the number of transactions allowed per day; (b) the dollar 
amount of transactions approved; (c) your ability to obtain cash advances; and (d) your ability to use your 
Card at an automated teller  machine  ("ATM"). 

If you give your Account number to make a purchase or obtain a cash advance without presenting your Card 
(such as for a mail order, telephone, or Internet purchase), the legal effect will be the same as if the Card 
was present. 

You may also use your Card and a personal identification number ("PIN") to obtain cash advances at an 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
ATM, if we, at our option, issue you a PIN. ATM transactions are treated the same as cash advances. We 
may restrict your access to any ATM at any time. You should not keep your PIN with your Card. If you 
believe that anyone has gained unauthorized access to your PIN, you should advise us immediately by 
following the procedures under the heading "Lost or Stolen Card." 

Your Responsibility for Authorized Users. If another person is given access to your Account and/or Card 
with your express or implied permission, notwithstanding the provision above, that person is an Authorized 
User, even if we did not issue an additional Card in the Authorized User's name. At your request, and if we 
agree, we may issue an additional Card in the name of an Authorized User with your Account number. You 
will be responsible for all charges, cash advances, INTEREST CHARGES, purchases and Fees incurred by 
any Authorized User. We are not required to try to obtain payment from any Authorized User before requiring 
payment from you. 

If you wish to remove an Authorized User from your Account you must contact us either by telephone or in 
writing. You will still be responsible for payment of all purchases, cash advances, INTEREST CHARGES and 
Fees incurred or obtained by the Authorized User. We may close your existing Account and issue you a new 
Card and Account number. 

Lost or Stolen Card. If you notice the loss or theft of your Card or a possible unauthorized use of your Card, 
you should write to us immediately at: Continental Finance, P.O. Box 3220, Buffalo, NY 14240-3220, or call 
us at 1-800-556-5678. You will not be liable for any unauthorized use. 

Refusals to Honor Card/Rejection of Transactions. We are not responsible if any financial institution, 
merchant, or other person refuses to honor your Card. Except as otherwise required by law or regulations, 
we will not be responsible for merchandise or services purchased through your Card. Also, we may reject 
any transaction for any reason. 

USING  YOUR  ACCOUNT 

Accessing Your Credit Line. You can use the Card and your Account to make purchases and obtain cash 
advances. Upon your request, you may be assigned a PIN. If a PIN is assigned to you, you may obtain a 
cash advance, any time after ninety five (95) days after Account opening, at any authorized ATM that bears 
the Mastercard® acceptance mark by using the Card and PIN. You should keep your PIN secure and not 
write it down, give it to anyone or keep it with your Card. Contact us immediately if someone has gained 
unauthorized access to your Card(s). 

Understanding Your Credit Limit. Your "Credit Limit" is the maximum amount of credit we have approved 
for your Account. The amount of your Credit Limit is disclosed in the "Account Opening Disclosures" section 
of this Agreement and on your Monthly Billing Statements. You are responsible for keeping track of your 
Account balance and your Credit Limit. Your Account balance may not exceed your Credit Limit at any time. 
Decisions on Credit Limit Increases will be in accordance with federal law. We reserve the right to approve or 
deny authorizations or transactions from any merchant at our sole discretion. 

Network Outages. From time to time, due to circumstances beyond our control (such as fires, floods, 
earthquakes and other natural disasters and unpredictable events), our services may be unavailable. We will 
not be responsible or liable if this  happens. 

UNDERSTANDING  YOUR 
PAYMENTS 

Your Promise to Pay, Cut-Off Time, Form of Payments. You promise to pay to us all amounts advanced to 
you as a purchase or a cash advance (including amounts advanced for Authorized Users) under this 
Agreement, plus all INTEREST CHARGES and Fees assessed on those amounts and all other charges, 
costs, and Fees which are applied  to your Account. All payments must be made in U.S. dollars, and all 
checks or other items tendered in payment must be drawn on United States financial institutions. Payments 
must be made to Continental Finance at the address shown on the Monthly Billing Statement ("Mail 
Payments To" address") and must be received by Continental Finance no later than 5:00 p.m., prevailing 
Eastern Time on the date on which they are due. Payments made at a branch or office of The Bank Of 
Missouri or Continental Finance prior to the close of business at the branch or office shall be considered 
received on the day the payment is made at such location. 

Payment Due Date. The Payment Due Date will be at least twenty-five (25) days after the Billing Cycle closing 
date ("Payment Due Date"). Payments will be credited to your Account as of the day of receipt if they are made 
in accordance with our instructions. Your Payment Due Date will be the same day each month. If the Payment 
Due Date falls on a weekend, holiday or other day on which we do not receive payments, the Minimum 
Payment Due plus any other payment must be received no later than 5:00 p.m. prevailing Eastern Time on the 
next business day we receive payments. 

Amount of Payment. You may pay any or all of the amounts you owe at any time without penalty, but you 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
must pay at least the Minimum Payment Due each month on or before the Payment Due Date. 

Minimum  Payment  Due: 

●  If the New Balance shown on your Monthly Billing Statement is less than or equal to $35, the Minimum 

Payment Due equals the New Balance. 

●  If your New Balance exceeds $35, the Minimum Payment Due equals the greater of 4% of the New 

Balance or $35, plus any Late Payment Fee assessed in the current Billing Cycle plus any past due 

amounts, not to exceed your Account balance. 

Applying of Payments. Payments in excess of the Minimum Payment Due are applied in accordance with 
law. 

Availability of Credit and Payment Holds. Generally, payments are credited to your Account on the day 
they are received. Available credit created as a result of payments posted to your Account may not be 
available for up to seven 
(7) days, or longer if circumstances warrant an additional hold, or if we deem ourselves at risk for any 
reason. If you use a payment service provided by a third party to deliver your payment to us, that third party 
may charge you a fee for such service; such third party fees will not be billed to your Account. Credit to your 
Account may be delayed up to five (5) days if payment is (a) not received at the Payment Address or (b) not 
accompanied by the payment coupon portion of your Monthly Billing Statement. Delayed crediting may result 
in Late Fee and additional INTEREST CHARGES and Fees being applied to your Card. 

Direct Debit. You may choose, subject to our approval, to make a payment by means of a direct debit or 
charge to any deposit, savings, or credit account of yours ("Payment Account"). By requesting that we 
process a payment by direct debit or charge to your Payment Account, you hereby authorize us, at our 
option, to debit your Payment Account by means of an electronic transaction or to submit a paper check or 
draft to your financial institution, consistent with your instructions. 

Electronic Check Presentment. If you pay by check, you are authorizing us to use information on your 
check to make a one-time electronic debit from your account at the financial institution indicated on your 
check. This electronic debit will   be for the amount of your check; no additional amount will be added to the 
electronic debit. We will process your payment using the Automated Clearing House ("ACH") system. 
Electronically processed and/or presented checks (and checks presented electronically) are not returned to 
you by your financial institution, bank or credit union. We will retain an image of your electronically processed 
check as required by law. A copy of the check can also be retrieved by contacting your financial institution. 
Please contact the Customer Service Department at the telephone number on your Monthly Billing Statement 
to learn about other payment options. 

Irregular Payments and Delay in Enforcement, Waivers and Releases. We may accept late payments, 
partial payments, checks, and money orders marked "paid in full" or language having the same effect, without 
losing any of our rights or legal defenses. All written communications concerning disputed amounts, including 
a check or other payment instrument that (a) indicates that the payment constitutes "payment in full" or is 
otherwise tendered as full satisfaction of a disputed amount, or (b) is tendered with other conditions or 
limitations, must be marked or delivered to us at the address for “Send Correspondence To” shown on your 
Monthly Billing Statement, not the payment address. You waive presentment for payment, notice of non-
payment, and you agree to any extensions of time of payment and partial payment before, at, or after 
maturity. 

MONTHLY  BILLING  STATEMENTS,  OTHER  INFORMATION  AND  COMMUNICATION  FROM  US 

When We Send Monthly Billing Statements. We will promptly send a Monthly Billing Statement at the end 
of each monthly Billing Cycle if your Account has a debit or credit balance greater than $1.00 or if an 
INTEREST CHARGE or Fee has been imposed. 

Where We Send Your Monthly Billing Statement. We will send Monthly Billing Statements and any other 
notices to  you at the address shown in our files. You agree to notify us promptly of any change in your 
address. We may accept address changes or corrections from the United States Postal Service. We may 
also mail Monthly Billing Statements and other communications to you at any address we determine to be an 
address at which you can receive mail. If you elect to receive Monthly Billing Statements and other 
communications electronically, we may send those Monthly Billing Statements and communications as 
directed by you. 

Understanding Your Monthly Billing Statement. The Monthly Billing Statement will show the Previous 
Balance, purchases and cash advances posted during the Billing Cycle, any INTEREST CHARGES, Fees 
and Other Charges, and all payments, debits, and credits to your Account through the Billing Cycle Closing 
Date. It will also show, among other things, your New Balance, the Minimum Payment Due, and the 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Payment Due Date (which will be at least twenty- five (25) days after the Billing Cycle Closing Date and 
will be the same day every month). 

You agree to review your Monthly Billing Statement promptly and to report any erroneous entries on such 
Monthly Billing Statement. You are obligated to report erroneous entries within 60 days after we mail or 
otherwise make the Monthly Billing Statement available to you. If you do not report the erroneous entries 
within the timeframe, the entries on your Monthly Billing Statement and the corresponding Account balance 
will be presumed to be correct. This means we will have no liability to you for transactions appearing on your 
Monthly Billing Statement. If you dispute a transaction made by you or someone else on your Account and we 
later credit your Account for all or part of the disputed amount, you will give us all of your rights against that 
other person. You also agree to give us any merchandise associated with the disputed transaction and to 
help us in our efforts to seek reimbursement (including, but not limited to, providing documents). 

Your Consent to Automated-Dialer and Pre-recorded Calls and Text Messages. By providing us with a 
telephone number(s), at any time, you consent and authorize us to contact you regarding your Account at 
such number(s) using any lawful means of communication, including, but not limited to calls placed to your 
cell, mobile or other phone using an automated dialing service, pre- recorded messages or text messages. 
Standard text messaging and/or calling charges imposed by your provider may apply. If you provide 
telephone number(s) for which you are not the subscriber, you understand that you shall indemnify us for any 
costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred as a result of us attempting to contact you 
at the number(s). You do have the option to opt out of receiving communications at that number any time 
thereafter by contacting us at [the customer service telephone number provided on your statement], or 
sending written notice to us to the following address: [The Bank of Missouri, c/o Continental Finance 
Company, P.O. Box 3220, Buffalo, NY  14240-3220].  You must retain proof of delivery.  If you send 
communications to any other address, we may not process your request.

from us and our affiliates and service providers. We may communicate with you by e-mail for any lawful 
or business purpose. 

Call Monitoring.  We may monitor and record any calls between you and us. 

Notices.  We may send any notices to the address you gave us, or, if you have agreed, by email to the address 
you gave us.  If you have multiple addresses, we will send notices to only one such address.  We consider a 
notice sent as soon as we mail it.  We consider an electronic notice sent as soon as we email it, unless we

established by us with an attorney or collection agency to collect an Account in default is presumed prima 
facie reasonable. 

CLOSING  YOUR  ACCOUNT 

We May Close or Suspend Your Account. We may terminate your privileges under this Agreement or cancel 
or limit your privileges to make purchases or obtain cash advances at any time, with or without cause, subject to 
applicable notice requirements. 

You May Close Your Account.  You may terminate your Account at any time by notifying us by telephone or in 
writing. Whether your Account was terminated by us or by you, you promise that any amounts that you owe us at 
the time of termination, plus any new purchases or cash advances, as well as any INTEREST CHARGES, Fees 
and Other Charges that will continue to be imposed at the rates specified in this Agreement, will be repaid 
according to this Agreement. You agree that you will not try to make any purchases or obtain cash advances 
after you have been notified that your privileges to use your Account have been canceled. You may terminate 
this Account at any time. In order to terminate your Account, you must either call us or give us written notice of 
your intent to terminate your Account at the address for “Send Correspondence To” shown on your Monthly 
Billing Statement, and pay your outstanding Account balance in full. Your notice of termination will become 
effective as soon as we can reasonably act on it. If you request that we terminate your Account, but do not pay 
your outstanding Account balance in full, your credit privileges will be terminated. 

Account Non-Use, Inactivity and/or Closure. In connection with the initial opening of your Account (but not 
in connection with renewing the Account or replacing Cards that have been used for transactions to the 
Account), if you have not made a payment, and either: (1) you do not activate your Card, or (2) you activate 
your Card but do not use  your Account for a purchase or cash advance, we may unilaterally close your 
Account and terminate your right to use the Card or obtain credit, subject to any limitations under Applicable 
Law. If we close the Account in accordance with this paragraph, all Fees posted to your Account will be 
reversed. 

Initial Fees Refund Disclosure. You may still reject this plan, provided that you have not yet used the 
Account or paid INTEREST CHARGES, Fees or Other Charges after receiving a Monthly Billing Statement. If 
you do reject the plan, you are not responsible for any INTEREST CHARGES, Fees or Other Charges. 

OTHER  TERMS  AND  CONDITIONS 

Binding Effect Upon Death or Incompetency. If we pay a merchant or financial institution for a purchase or 
post a cash advance to your Account before we receive actual written notice of your death or incompetence, 
or if we pay a merchant or financial institution for a purchase made by you or post a cash advance taken by 
you prior to your death or incompetence, that transaction will be a valid and binding Account obligation upon 
you, your estate and your personal representatives. 

Our Liability To You. Neither The Bank Of Missouri nor Continental Finance will have any liability to you 
other than as provided in the Agreement and these terms and conditions. Unless imposed by law, neither The 
Bank Of Missouri nor Continental Finance will be liable for any indirect, punitive, incidental, special or 
consequential loss or damages with respect to this Agreement. 

Notices. We will send Monthly Billing Statements and any other notices to you at the address shown in our 
files. If you choose to receive Monthly Billing Statements electronically, we will send them and any other 
notices to you at the email address shown in our files. You promise to inform us promptly in writing of any 
change in your address or email address. Any written notice from you to us must be sent to us at Continental 
Finance, P.O. Box 3220, Buffalo, NY 14240-3220 or to such other address as we may give you, and shall be 
effective when received by us at such address. In determining your last known address, we can accept 
address corrections received from the U.S. Postal Service. 

Credit Limit Increases. Your Credit Limit will be increased by $1,000 bringing your total Credit Limit to $2,000 
if you make at least your Minimum Monthly Payment by the Payment Due Date each month for the first 6 
monthly Billing Cycles.  Thereafter, your Account will be reviewed periodically for future Credit Limit Increases 
in accordance with Applicable Law.  In order to receive a Credit Limit Increase, you must qualify for and elect 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
to receive such increase. Each Credit Limit Increase may vary in size but will be subject to a maximum 
Credit Limit of $3,000. Each Credit Limit Increase will appear on your Account no later than one (1) month 
after you have qualified for such increase. We may change the criteria applied to determine your eligibility for 
a Credit Limit Increase at any time in our sole discretion in accordance with Applicable Law. In addition, we 
may elect, in our sole discretion, to modify or discontinue the practice of granting Credit Limit Increases. 

Foreign Currency Conversion Rate. If you effect a transaction at a merchant that settles in a currency other 
than U.S. dollars, the transaction amount will be converted into U.S. dollars at a government-mandated 
exchange rate, or a wholesale exchange rate. The government-mandated exchange rate or wholesale 
exchange rate is the rate selected for the applicable currency on the day the transaction is processed, which 
may differ from that applicable to the date the transaction occurred or when it is posted to your Account. 

Call Monitoring/Recording. You authorize us and any third party servicing your Account to listen to and 
record telephone calls with you to evaluate the quality of service or for any other lawful purpose, if permitted 
under Applicable Law. 

Sale/Assignment/Transfer. We may sell, assign, or transfer all or any portion of your Account or any 
Account balances due under your Account without prior notice to you. You may not sell, assign, or transfer 
your Card or your Account or any of your obligations under this Agreement. 

Use of Information about You and Your Account. Because you applied for a Card, we are entitled under 
Applicable Law, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act, to obtain information about you from a credit 
reporting agency. We may also verify your credit references and other information that you provide to us. We 
may obtain updated or additional information about you, including consumer reports, from time to time for 
any legitimate purpose including, but not limited to, the extension of credit to you or the review or collection 
of your Account. We will report late payments, missed payments, or other defaults on your Account to credit 
bureaus. 

You understand to prevent the funding of terrorism and money laundering, the United States Government 
requires financial institutions obtain, verify and retain certain cardholder information, such as your name, 
address, date of birth  and other identifying information including your driver's license or other government-
issued ID, to allow us to confirm your identity. We will retain this information. With respect to information 
about you and your Account that is covered by our privacy policy, we will use such information in accordance 
with the terms of the Privacy Policy.

YOUR  BILLING  RIGHTS 

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 Monthly Billing Statement. 

If you think there is an error on your Monthly Billing Statement, 

write to us at: Continental  Finance 

P.O. Box 3220 

Buffalo,  NY  14240-3220 

In your letter, give us the following information: 

●  Account information: Your name and Account number. 

●  Dollar amount: The dollar amount of the suspected error. 

●  Description of problem: If you think there is an error on your Monthly Billing Statement, describe what 

you believe is wrong and why you believe it is a mistake. 

You must contact us: 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
●  Within 60 days after the error appeared on your Monthly Billing Statement. 

●  At least 3 business days before an automated payment is scheduled, if you want to stop payment on 

the amount you think is wrong. 

You 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 Monthly Billing Statement 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 Monthly Billing Statement, and we may continue to charge 

you 

INTEREST CHARGES on that amount. 

●  While you do not have to pay the amount in question, you are responsible for the remainder of 

your Account 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 

CHARGES, Fees or Other Charges 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 CHARGES, Fees and Other Charges. We will send you a Monthly Billing 

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 Monthly Billing Statement 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 Monthly Billing Statement. 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 Monthly Billing Statement 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 Card and you have tried 
in good faith to correct the problem with the merchant, you may have the right not to pay the remaining 
amount due on the purchase. 

To use this right, all of the following must be true: 

1. The purchase must have been made in your home state or within 100 miles of your current mailing 
address, and the purchase price must have been more than $50. (Note: Neither of these are necessary if 
your purchase was based on an advertisement we mailed to you, or if we own the company that sold you 
the goods or services.) 

2. You must have used your Card for the purchase. Purchases made with cash advances from an ATM 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: Continental  Finance 

P.O. Box 3220 

Buffalo,  NY  14240-3220 

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. 

STATE  DISCLOSURES 

California Residents. A married applicant may apply for a separate Account. As required by law, you are 
hereby notified that a negative credit reporting reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a 
Consumer Reporting Agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligations. After credit approval, each 
applicant shall have the right to use the Account up to the limit of the Account. Each applicant may be liable 
for amounts extended under the plan to any joint applicant. 

Delaware Residents. Service charges not in excess of those permitted by law will be charged on the 
outstanding Account balances from month to month. 

Kentucky Residents. You may pay the unpaid balance of your Account in whole or in part at any time. 

New York and Vermont Residents. We may obtain a consumer report for any legitimate purpose in 
connection with your Account or your application, including but not limited to reviewing, modifying, renewing 
and collecting on your Account. Upon your request, we will inform you of the names and addresses of any 
Consumer Reporting Agencies that have furnished the reports. New York residents may contact the New 
York State Banking Department (1-800-342-3736) to obtain a comparative list of credit card rates, fees and 
grace periods.

knowledge of that provision. Married Wisconsin residents are required to contact us at P.O. Box 3220, Buffalo, 
NY 14240-3220 to provide the name and address of your spouse.  

ARBITRATION  PROVISION 

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: This Arbitration Provision (the "Provision") waives any right to file 
claims in court, other than a small claims court, or to participate in a class action or other 
consolidated proceeding. 

CARDHOLDERS COVERED BY THE MILITARY LENDING ACT. Notwithstanding any other provision 
of this Agreement, if you are a “covered borrower” under the Military Lending Act, as defined in at 
32 CFR § 232.3(g), the Arbitration Provision does not apply to you. 

Unless you opt out of this Provision in the manner set forth below in subpart (p), any claim that arises out of or 
in any way relates to the Agreement, your Account, or this Provision (the “Claim(s)”) shall be resolved 
exclusively by binding bilateral arbitration in accord with the following: 

a) This Provision is contained in a contract evidencing interstate commerce and is governed by the 
Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1-16. 

b) Arbitration in accordance with this Provision shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association 
("AAA") by a single arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”) using the applicable rules and procedures established by the 
AAA for expedited consumer arbitration. To the extent any of the AAA's rules and procedures contradict the 
express terms of the Provision, the Provision shall control and the contradictory portions of the AAA's rules 
and procedures shall not apply. 

c) The Arbitrator shall enforce the Applicable Law in the Agreement and shall honor applicable statutes 
of limitations and claims of privilege. The Arbitrator may award any relief available under Applicable 
Law. 

d) You or we may choose to have a hearing, appear at any hearing by phone or other electronic means, 
and/or be represented by counsel. Any in-person arbitration hearing or proceeding shall be held in the 
same city as the U.S. District Court closest to your billing address unless you and we agree otherwise. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
e) The Arbitrator has no authority to conduct class, joint, private attorney general or consolidated 
arbitration proceedings on any Claim, and may award relief only on an individual basis.  If you assert a 
Claim against us, we can choose to arbitrate.  Claims brought as part of a class action, or any other 
representative action can be arbitrated only on an individual basis.  If arbitration is chosen by any party, 
neither you nor we may pursue a Claim as part of a class action or other representative action.  Claims of 
two (2) or more persons may not be combined in the same arbitration. 

f)  Except as may be required by law, neither a party nor its representatives may disclose the existence, 
content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of all parties.  No arbitration 
award involving the parties will have any preclusive effect as to issues or claims in any dispute involving 
anyone who is not a party to the arbitration, nor will an arbitration award in prior disputes involving other 
parties have preclusive effect in an arbitration between the parties to this Provision. 

g) AAA rules and procedures applicable to fees shall determine the allocation of the initial filing fees for the 
arbitration. This subpart (g) shall not affect attorney's fees or costs, including witness or expert witness' 
fees or costs. You shall be responsible for your own attorney's fees and costs. 

h) If permitted by Applicable Law, the Arbitrator may award reasonable attorney's fees and costs as 
well as reimbursement of other expenses to the party who substantially  prevails in  arbitration ,and/or 
to the extent that the Arbitrator determines a party’s claim or counterclaim was filed for purposes of 
harassment or is frivolous. 

i)  In the event the AAA or its rules and procedures are unavailable for any reason, you or we may ask a 
court to appoint a substitute Arbitrator to arbitrate under comparable rules and procedures. The unavailability 
of the AAA or its rules and procedures shall not render the Provision unenforceable. 

j) The Provision covers any Claim arising out of or in any way relating to the Provision itself. All issues of 
arbitrability must be arbitrated, including but not limited to whether the Provision is enforceable or applicable. 

k)The Provision remains in full force and effect unless you opt out of the Provision in accordance with subpart 
(p) or you and we otherwise agree in writing to set the Provision aside. The Provision survives, for example 
but without limitation, the cancellation or termination of the Agreement or your Account, the satisfaction of any 
obligations under the Agreement or your Account, the transfer, sale, or assignment of the Agreement or your 
Account or any rights under either, and the bankruptcy of any party. 

l)  Each of the following persons or entities is an intended beneficiary of the Provision and may enforce the 
Provision in full with respect to any claims between such persons or entities on the one hand and you on the 
other hand that arise out of or in any way relate to the Agreement or the Provision: Continental Finance and 
any of its or our past, present, and future  employees,  agents,  principals,  representatives,  directors,  officers, 
shareholders,  governors,  managers,  members, parent  companies,  subsidiaries,  affiliated  entities,  partners, 
licensees,  attorneys,  predecessors,  successors,  joint venturers, contractors, assigns, designees, servicers, 
and "service providers" (defined as any third party providing us or any of the foregoing entities or persons 
any goods or services that arise out of or in any way relate to the Agreement or the  Provision). 

m) 
The Provision may be enforced by or against any person or entity purporting to bring Claims on your 
behalf, including but not limited to any agent, representative, guardian, or trustee. The Provision may also be 
enforced by or against any person or entity who acquires any right or interest that, but for the transfer of the 
right or interest, would have belonged to us or an intended beneficiary of the Provision. 

n)  You and we shall retain the right to bring in the small claims court for the county of your residence any 
claims that are within the small claims court's jurisdiction. In the event of the foregoing, and pursuant to 
the applicable AAA Rules, you or we may instruct the Arbitrator to close the arbitration proceedings 
for the Claim to proceed in the small claims court for the county of your residence. Any appeal or 
other review of a small claims court judgment or order shall be undertaken exclusively by arbitration in 
accordance with the Provision. 

o) if any part of the Provision is found unenforceable, subject to any rights to judicial and/or appellate review 
the offending part shall be severed and the balance of the Provision shall remain in effect and shall be 
construed in light of the express intent of you and us to resolve all claims on a bilateral basis in binding 
arbitration, except that: (1) if all or any portion of subpart (e) is declared invalid in a proceeding between you 
and us, without in any way impairing the right to appeal such decision, this entire Provision (other than this 
sentence) shall be null and void in such proceeding; and (2) if a Claim is brought seeking public injunctive 
relief and a court determines that the restrictions in subpart (e) or elsewhere in this Provision prohibiting the 
arbitrator from awarding relief on behalf of third parties are unenforceable with respect to such Claim (and that 
determination becomes final after all appeals have been exhausted), the Claim for public injunctive relief will 
be determined in court and any individual Claims seeking monetary relief will  be arbitrated.  In such a case 
the parties will request that the court stay the Claim for public injunctive relief until the arbitration award 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
pertaining to individual relief has been entered in court. 

p) You may opt out of this Provision by sending written notice to us of your decision to opt out. Notice must 
be sent by United States Postal Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested, to the following address: The Bank 
Of Missouri, c/o Continental Finance Company, P.O. Box 3220, Buffalo, NY 14240-3220. The notice must be 
postmarked no later than 30 days after the date of your Agreement. You must retain proof of receipt. Your opt 
out notice must state that you reject the arbitration Provision and include your name, address, Account number and 
personal signature.  No one else may sign the opt out notice.  Your opt out notice will not apply to the arbitration 
provision(s) governing any other account(s) that you have or had with us.  Your decision to opt out will not affect our 
decision to continue to extend credit to you under the Agreement.
