Arbitration. Please review this provision carefully. It provides that any dispute may be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration replaces the right to go to court and the right to have a jury decide a dispute. Under this provision, your rights may be substantially limited in the event of a dispute. You may opt out of this Arbitration provision by following the instructions below.
By accepting this Agreement, unless you opt out by following the instructions below, you agree that either you or we, at our sole discretion, can choose to have any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or our relationship resolved by binding arbitration. If arbitration is chosen by any party, neither you nor we will have the right to litigate that dispute in court or to have a jury trial on that dispute. Pro-arbitration discovery will be permitted only as allowed by the arbitration rules. In addition, you will not have the right to participate as a representative or member of any class of claimants pertaining to any dispute subject to arbitration. The arbitrator’s decision will generally be final and binding. Other rights that you would have if you went to court may also not be available in arbitration. It is important that you road the entire Arbitration provision carefully before accepting the terms of this Agreement
For purposes of this Arbitration provision, “dispute'’ shall be construed as broadly as possible, and shall include any claim, dispute or controversy (whether in contract regulatory, tort or otherwise, whether pro-existing, present or future and including constitutional, statutory, common law, intentional tort and equitable claims) arising from or relating to this Agreement, the credit offered or provided to you, or the goods or services you purchase; the actions of yourself, us, or third parties; or the validity of this Agreement or this Arbitration provision. It includes disputes brought as counterclaims, cross claims, or third party claims. A party that has brought a dispute in a court may elect to arbitrate any other dispute that may be raised in that litigation.

Any arbitration under this Arbitration provision shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under the rules applicable to the resolution of consumer disputes in effect when the dispute is filed. The arbitrator shall have no authority to hear any disputes on a class action or representative basis. Neither you nor we may consolidate or join the disputes of other persons who may have similar disputes into a single arbitration, other than the disputes of or against joint account holders. You may obtain rules and forms by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879 or visiting www.adr.org. Any arbitration hearing that you attend will take place in the Federal judicial district where you reside. We will not elect arbitration of any dispute that is filed as an individual matter by you in a small claims or similar court, so long as the dispute is pending on an individual basis in such court.
A single, neutral arbitrator will decide any disputes. The arbitrator must be either a retired or former judge or a lawyer with no less than 10 years’ experience, selected in accordance with the AAA’s rules. The arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations, will honor claims of privilege under applicable law, and will have the power to award to a party any damages or other relief provided under applicable law. Any party may choose to have a hearing, and may choose to be represented by counsel. The arbitrator will issue an award in writing and, upon request, will provide a written explanation for the award. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
The party initiating an arbitration must pay the AAA’s initial filing fee, although you can ask the AAA to waive the filing fee and we will consider your request that we pay the filing fee on your behalf. We will pay any subsequent administration fees imposed by the AAA, and we will pay the arbitrator’s fee for up to one day of hearings. All other fees will be allocated as provided by the AAA’s rules and applicable law. If you prevail in arbitration, we will reimburse you any fees paid to the AAA However, even if we prevail, we will not seek reimbursement from you of any fees we paid to the AAA unless the arbitrator determines that your dispute was brought in bad faith. Each party shall bear Ils own costs of attorneys, experts, and witness fees, regardless of which party prevails in the arbitration. However, if applicable substantive law gives you the right to seek reimbursement of attorneys’ fees or other fees or costs, then that right shall also apply in the arbitration.
You have the right to opt out of this Arbitration provision, but you may only do so in the first 30 days after the first transaction is posted to your Account. In order to opt out, you must write us at WebBank/ Fingerhut Arbitration, P.O. Box 0260, St Cloud, MN 56395-0260. You must inform us of your decision to opt out, and sign the notice.

How We Figure Periodic Interest Charges. To calculate the Interest Charge for each monthly statement we multiply the average daily balance times the monthly periodic rate. Your monthly periodic rate may vary each billing cycle. If the total periodic Interest Charges for a month are less than $1.00 then we charge a minimum periodic Interest Charge of $1.00 which we will apply to the applicable balance (to the extent permitted by applicable law).
Average Daily Balance. We figure the interest charge on your Account by applying the monthly periodic rate to the Average Daily Balance of your Account, including current transactions. To get the Average Daily Balance, we lake the beginning balance of your Account each day, add any new purchases on that day, and subtract any payments or credits we apply that day. We add interest charges to each feature on a monthly basis. We add other charges and fees, such as late fees, on the day that such charges or fees are posted to the Account. If your Account has an overall credit balance, we treat this as a $0 balance. Purchases subject to Deferral Periods described below are excluded from our calculation of the Average Daily Balance until the day following the expiration of the Deferral Period. This gives us the daily balance. Then we add up all the daily balances for each day in the billing cycle and divide the total by the number of days in the billing cycle. This gives us the Average Daily Balance.
Non-Variable APR. Your Annual Percentage Rate is 29.99%, which corresponds to a monthly periodic
rate of 2.500%. This is a non-variable rate. The finance charges that are assessed, including the monthly periodic rate, will be in amounts or at rates that do not exceed those permitted by law. The amount of periodic interest charges and APRs are subject to change. See below under the heading “Change of Terms (including Interest Charges).”
The amount of periodic interest charges and APRs are subject to change. See below under the heading “Change of Terms (including Interest Charges).”
When interest charges begin Ie accrue. Interest charges begin to accrue on each purchase on the date of the purchase. However, if you paid the new balance on your previous Statement by the payment due date shown on that statement, then: (1) if you pay the new balance on your current billing statement by the payment due date shown, we impose no interest charges on purchases during the current billing cycle, and (2) if you make a payment by the payment due date shown on your current statement that is less than the new balance, we will credit that payment as of the first day in your current billing cycle. In addition, if your previous Statement reflected a new balance and you did not pay that new balance In full by the payment due date on that previous statement, then we will not Impose Interest charges on any purchases during the current billing cycle if you pay the new balance shown on your current Statement by the payment due date reflected on that current Statement.
Deferral Periods. From time to time, we may offer you the opportunity to enter into promotions. When you make a purchase under a special promotion, it will be identified on your Statements. Each Statement will contain a summary of all deferred purchases, including the unpaid principal balances, any assessed interest charges and the dates until which payments are deferred. The special deferral terms apply to a purchase for a specified period of time, which we will call the “Deferral Period”. When you make a deferred purchase, the Deferral Period will be disclosed to you. These special promotions are made available at our discretion, are subject to credit approval, are not available for all purchases and cannot be changed by customer request. There is currently one type of special promotion, although we may add more or remove any of them at any time.
No Payments Option: Monthly payments on the deferred purchase are not required during the Deferral Period. Interest will be assessed at the monthly periodic rate in effect on your deferred purchase from the date of purchase. Interest assessed during the Deferral Period will be added to your deferred balance, regardless if you pay off your deferred balance before the expiration of the Deferral Period. The amount of your deferred purchase® is/are not considered when we calculate your minimum monthly payment. We do consider your deferred purchase® for purposes of determining your available credit.
Late Fees. Late fees will be equal to your minimum payment due with a maximum amount of up to $29.00. The maximum amount will increase to $40.00 if you did not make your minimum payment on time in any one of the 6 prior billing cycles (or to the extent permitted by applicable law). The late fee will never be greater than your minimum payment due to which the late fee relates.
Returned Payment Fees. Returned payment fees will be equal to your minimum payment due with a maximum amount of up to $29.00. The maximum amount will increase to $40.00 if you had any returned payments in any one of the 6 prior billing cycles (or to the extent permitted by applicable law). The returned payment fee will never be greater than your most recent minimum payment due. No Annual Account Fee. You are not charged a separate annual fee to maintain your Account.
Application of Payments. Each payment you send to us will be applied to your Account in a manner consistent with applicable law. Generally, we will apply your payment first to satisfy all minimum payments due. You may pay the entire balance on your Account at any time without incurring any additional charge for prepayment.
Change of Terms (including Interest Charges). Subject to applicable law, we may change or terminate any term of this Agreement or add new terms at any time, including, without limitation, adding or increasing fees, increasing your minimum payment and increasing the rate or amount of interest charges or changing the method of computing the balance upon which interest charges are assessed. Prior written notice will be provided to you when required by applicable law. Changes may apply to new and outstanding balances.
