advance, mail order or other credit incurred through the use of 
your credit card(s) and/or your account number, whether such 
use is by you or by any other person who is allowed to use the 
card or account number by you, regardless of the benefit or use. 
You  agree  that  your  card  (s)  shall  not  be  used  for  any  illegal 
purpose or transaction. 

9.  You  agree  to  pay  us  within  25  days  from  the  “Closing 
Date” shown on each monthly statement, either (a) the “New 
Balance”  or  (b)  a  part  of  the  New  Balance  not  less  than  the 
“Minimum Payment Due” that we have calculated according 
to  the  current  minimum  periodic  payment  schedule.    The 
schedule we use follows:

A.  The  minimum  payment  required  is  the  New  Balance  shown 
on your statement if the amount is equal to or less than $25.00. 

B.    If  the  New  Balance  exceeds  $25.00,  the  minimum  payment 
is 1% (percent) of the New Balance (rounded up to the nearest 
dollar)  plus  any  cycle  to  date  FINANCE  CHARGES  and  the 
unpaid  late  fees.    The  Total  Minimum  Payment  will  include  the 
Minimum Payment calculated above, plus any amount in excess 
of your credit limit and any amount past due. 

Checks should be made payable to VISA. Only checks payable 
to VISA will be accepted for payment. Checks you have received 
from another party should not be endorsed over to VISA. That is, 
BBOK will not serve as a second endorser.

From time to time, if your account qualifies, we may  allow you 
to skip your minimum periodic payment during a billing cycle.  If 
you skip a payment, finance charges will continue to be due in 
the month following the month in which you skip the payment.  

10.  As  a  condition  of  opening  and  maintaining  your  credit  card 
account,  you  will  be  charged  in  advance  a  $50.00 Annual  Fee  for 
participation in the Scorecard Bonus Point Program, payable at the 
time said account is opened and annually thereafter, whether or not 
you  use  your  card  to  access  your  account. You  agree  to  pay  this 
Annual Fee, which we will bill to your account. To avoid said Annual 
Fee,  you  must,  prior  to  the  annual  anniversary  date  discontinue 
participation  in  the  ScoreCard  Bonus  Point  Program  or  surrender 
said credit card(s) to BBOK and close this credit card account.

11. A FINANCE CHARGE will be imposed on your account under 
the following conditions:

A. PURCHASES  A Finance Charge will be imposed on Credit 
Purchases only if you do not pay the entire New Balance shown 
on your monthly statement for the previous billing cycle within 
25 days from the closing date of that statement. If you elect not 
to pay the entire New Balance shown on your previous monthly 
statement  within  that  25  day  period,  a  Finance  Charge  will 
be imposed on the unpaid average daily balance of such Credit 
Purchases  from  the  previous  statement  closing  date  and  on 
new Credit Purchases from the date of posting to your account 
during the current billing cycle, and will continue to accrue until 
the closing date of the billing cycle preceding the date on which 
the entire New Balance is paid in full or until the date of payment 
if more than 25 days from the closing date.

B.  CASH  ADVANCES    A  Finance  Charge  will  be  imposed 
on Cash Advances from the date made or from the first day of 
the  billing  cycle  in  which  the  Cash  Advance  is  posted  to  your 
account,  whichever  is  later,  and  will  continue  to  accrue  on  the 
unpaid  average  daily  balance  of  such  Cash Advances  until  the 
date of payment if paid during the same billing cycle, or until the 
closing date of the billing cycle preceding the date on which the 
entire New Balance is paid in full or until the date of payment if 
more than 25 days from the closing date.

The Finance Charge for a billing cycle is computed by applying 
the Monthly Periodic Rate to the average daily balance of Cash 
Advances,  which  is  determined  by  dividing  the  sum  of  the 
daily balances by the number of days in the billing cycle. Each 
daily balance of Cash Advances is determined by adding to the 
outstanding unpaid balance of Cash Advances at the beginning 
of  the  billing  cycle  any  new  Cash  Advances  posted  to  your 
account,  and  subtracting  any  payments  as  received  or  credits 
as posted to your account, but excluding any unpaid Finance 
Charges.

12. INTEREST RATE
A. PURCHASES 
If  your  account  is  subject  to  a  Finance  Charge,  your  ANNUAL 
PERCENTAGE  RATE  may  vary.    Your  Rate  on  purchases  is 
determined by adding 3.00% to the “Prime Rate” published in the 
Wall  Street  Journal  under  the  “Money  Rates”  subsection  on  the 
last business day of each month.

The Finance Charge for a billing cycle is computed by applying 
the Monthly Periodic Rate to the average daily balance of Credit 
Purchases, which is determined by dividing the sum of the daily 
balances  during  the  billing  cycle  by  the  number  of  days  in  the 
cycle.  Each  daily  balance  of  Credit  Purchases  is  determined  by 
adding  to  the  outstanding  unpaid  balance  of  Credit  Purchases 
at  the  beginning  of  the  billing  cycle  any  new  Credit  Purchases 
posted  to  your  account,  and  subtracting  any  payments  as 
received or credits as posted to your account, but excluding any 
unpaid Finance Charges. 

B.  CASH  ADVANCES    If  your  account  is  subject  to  a  Finance 
Charge, a transaction fee of $10.00 or 3% of the Cash Advance 
amount,  whichever  is  greater,  will  be  imposed  for  each  Cash 
Advance  posted  to  your  account  during  a  billing  cycle.  We  will 
compute  the  Finance  Charge  on  a  Cash  Advance  by  applying 
a  “Monthly  Periodic  Rate”  of  1.75%  per  month  (which  is  a 
corresponding ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE of 21% as follows:

The Finance Charge for a billing cycle is computed by applying 
the  monthly  Periodic  Rate  to  the  average  daily  balance  of  Cash 
Advances,  which  is  determined  by  dividing  the  sum  of  the 
daily  balances  by  the  number  of  days  in  the  billing  cycle.  Each 
daily  balance  of  Cash Advances  is  determined  by  adding  to  the 
outstanding unpaid balance of Cash Advances at the beginning of 
the billing cycle any new Cash Advances posted to your account, 
and subtracting any payments as received or credits as posted to 
your account, but excluding any unpaid Finance Charges.

B. RETURN CHECK FEE

accidental  death  or  dismemberment  whenever  you  travel  on  a 
common carrier if you buy your travel tickets with your VISA card.  
A description of insurance terms and conditions will be provided. 

17. We set your credit line when we open your account, and we may 
change  it  from  time  to  time.  Your  credit  line  will  appear  on  each 
monthly  statement.    We  may  limit  your  total  Cash Advances  to  a 
portion  of  your  total  credit  limit.  You  agree  not  to  incur,  or  to  let 
others incur, charges on your account that exceed your credit line. 
If the total charges do exceed the credit line, you agree, when we 
request, to make a payment to reduce the total on your account to 
an amount below your credit line.  

18.  If  you  revoke  the  authority  of  someone  to  use  your  account, 
revocation is not effective until that person’s card expires or you 
return it to us, whichever is first; provided, however, each joint user 
agrees to pay all amounts due us for charges made by an any joint 
user until all cards are returned to us and the balances are paid in 
full.  

 
19. You agree to notify us promptly by telephone of the loss or theft 
of any credit card bearing your account number. You may notify us 
by telephone at (727) 570-4881 or (800) 325-3678. You will not 
be  liable  for  any  unauthorized  use,  unless  we  determine,  based 
on  substantial  evidence,  that  you  were  grossly  negligent  in  the 
handling of the account or card.  

20. You agree that “unauthorized use” means the use of a credit 
card which has occurred or may occur as the result of loss, theft or 
other wrongdoing, and which is by a person other than you or your 
agent, who does not have actual, implied or apparent authority for 
such use, and from which you receive no benefit.

21.  We  are  not  accountable  if  anyone  refuses  to  honor  a  credit 
card  with  your  account  number.  All  Credit  Purchases  and  Cash 
Advances  are  effected  at  the  option  of  the  Merchant  and  Cash 
Advancing Bank, respectively, and Issuer shall not be responsible 
for  refusal  by  any  Merchant  or  Cash  Advancing  Bank  to  honor 
the  Card  or  any  Related  Card.  Any  refund,  adjustment  or  credit 
allowed  by  Merchant  shall  not  be  by  cash  but  rather  by  a  credit 
advice to Issuer which shall be shown as a credit on Cardholder’s 
account statement with Issuer.

22. You  agree  to  advise  us  promptly  if  you  change  your  mailing 
address. We can accept address corrections from the U.S. Postal 
Service. All written notices and statements from us to you will be 
sent to your address as it appears on our records.

23. We will consider your account past due if you fail to pay at least 
your minimum payment in funds acceptable to us by the date it is 
due.  You account will remain past due until any previous unpaid 
balance is paid.  

24.  We  can  consider  you  in  default  if  you  provide  us  with  false 
information  or  signature,  if  you  try  to  exceed  or  do  exceed  your 
credit line without our permission, if you fail to provide updated 
information  which  we  request  from  time  to  time,  if  you  become 
subject  to  bankruptcy  or  insolvency  proceedings,  if  attachment 
or  garnishment  proceedings  are  instituted  against  you  or  your 
property, if there is any event which we believe causes the prospect 
of payment to be significantly impaired, if you fail to comply with 
any provision of this agreement or in the event of death. Default 
on any account with us will constitute default on all accounts with 
us.  Upon default, at our option and under applicable law, we can 
declare all amounts on your account immediately due and payable.  
Also, we can exercise all rights available to us under law to collect 
what you owe us.  All remedies are cumulative and our failure to 
exercise any one shall not affect our rights to any other remedy. 

25. If Bank incurs collection costs or attorney fees in connection 
with  your  account,  as  permitted  by  applicable  law,  you  agree  to 
pay the reasonable costs of collection, including, but not limited 
to, attorney fees and collection fees in an amount not to exceed 
15%  of  the  unpaid  debt  on  your  account  if  such  limitation  is 
required by law.

26.  If  you  make  a  payment  with  a  check,  money  order,  or  other 
type  of  instrument  marked  “Payment  in  Full”  or  other  language 
indicating satisfaction of indebtedness, we are not bound by such 
language and do not waive any rights under this  agreement. Where 
full payment of any indebtedness owing under this agreement is 
not made, satisfaction of indebtedness shall occur only pursuant 
to a written agreement, signed by an authorized employee of the 
Bank.

to:

Customer Service, P.O. Box 30495, Tampa, FL 33630.

27.  Payments  must  be  made  to  Issuer  in  U.S.  dollars  drawn  on 
a  U.S.  bank.  If  the  authorized  signer  incurs  charges  in  any  other 
currency, the charges will be converted into U.S. dollars.

If you have authorized us to pay your credit card bill automatically 
from your checking or savings account, you can stop the payment 
on  any  amount  you  think  is  wrong.  To  stop  the  payment  your 
letter  must  reach  us  three  business  days  before  the  automatic 
payment is scheduled to occur.

28. We can change the terms of this agreement including changing 
the  periodic  rate  and  the  annual  percentage  rate  on  the  existing 
balance of your account to the maximum rate allowed by law, even 
if that maximum rate increases after the date of this agreement. We 
will, of course, comply with applicable law about notice to you if 
we make any changes.

29. We can waive, or choose not to enforce, any of our rights under 
this agreement at any time, without the waiver affecting any of our 
other rights. A waiver on one occasion will not act as a waiver of 
the same right at a future time.

30.  We  may  sell,  assign  or  transfer  your Account  or  any  portion 
thereof, without notice to you. You may not sell, assign or transfer 
your Account without first obtaining our prior written consent.

you  question,  or  report  you  as  delinquent.  We  can  continue  to 
bill you for the amount you question, including finance charges, 
and  we  can  apply  any  unpaid  amount  against  your  credit  line. 
You  do  not  have  to  pay  any  questioned  amount  while  we  are 
investigating, but you are still obligated to pay the parts of your 
bill that are not in question.

If we find that we made a mistake on your bill, you will not have to 
pay any finance charges related to any questioned amount. If we 
did not make a mistake, you will have to pay finance charges, and 
the balance will be due and payable in full upon receipt of your 
next billing statement. In either case, we will send you a statement 
of the amount you owe and the date that it is due.

If you fail to pay the amount that we think you owe, we may report 
you  as  delinquent.  However,  if  our  explanation  does  not  satisfy 
you  and  you  write  to  us  within  10  days  telling  us  that  you  still 
refuse to pay, we must tell anyone we report you to that you have 
a  question  about  your  bill.  And,  we  must  tell  you  the  name  of 
anyone  we  reported  you  to.  We  must  tell  anyone  we  report  you 
to that the matter has been settled between us when it finally is.

32. We both agree that this agreement is governed by the laws of 
Kansas except to the extent that federal law applies.
