How We Will Calculate Your Balance: We use a method called "daily balance (including new purchases)." See your account agreement for more details.
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 District of Columbia. 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 Federal 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 on the chart
below. The daily periodic rate will be the annual rate divided by 365 (366 in a leap year).

The portion of any balance arising from the sale of goods which are returned will be excluded from the unpaid balance as of the date the goods are returned.
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) 3.00% of the Account balance immediately following the first or any subsequent purchase on your Account.
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 allows (see paragraphs 1 and 20 of this Agreement). The statutory time period for imposition of a Late Fee is 10 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. Phone Payment Processing Fee: You will pay the current phone payment processing fee (which you agree we will add to the balance due on your Account) for
each expedited payment you make by phone. The current phone payment processing fee is $11.75.
12. Security Agreement: You grant us a purchase money security interest in each household good purchased with this Account ("Goods") for a price of $200 or more
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.
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 ten days of the date on which the installment was due, we receive payment together with any late fees. If you fail to pay within 10 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. In addition, we will not repossess
any merchandise if District of Columbia law governs (see paragraphs 1 and 20 of this Agreement). Unless required by Applicable Law (see paragraphs 1 and 20 of this
Agreement) 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.
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. No Oral Modifications: You agree that we are not bound by any oral agreements or oral modifications to this Agreement.
17. Home Sale Disclosure Laws: Home Sale Disclosure laws govern this transaction. The Home Sale Disclosure law applicable to this Agreement as set forth in
paragraphs 1 and 20 of this Agreement and in the District of Columbia, D.C. Code 28-3811.
18. 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.
19. Severability: If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable, all other provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

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 the 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 límit.
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 or 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:
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 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.
