your credit information for this purpose. To make this request, you need to notify the credit bureaus at: Experian Target

Important Information About Procedures For Opening a New Account: To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and 
money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each 
person who opens an account.  What this means for you: When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth 
and other information that will allow us to identify you.

credit limit increases. This allows you to increase your credit limit by establishing a good credit history with us.

orders and legal investigations, to report to credit bureaus, or to offer our products and services to you. We will provide a complete

F.  “Cash Advances” means credit you or an Authorized User obtain on your Credit Account by presenting the Card (or any 
other credit device we supply you) to any financial institution to obtain cash, making a transfer from your account to any other 
deposit or loan account or by using the Card at an authorized merchant or automated teller machine (“ATM”) or other device 
available for the purpose of obtaining cash.

H.  “Contract” means the terms and conditions outlined in this Contract that governs the use of your Credit Account and Card.

made by you when you access or otherwise utilize the line of credit we extend to you.

K.  “Minimum Payment” has the meaning described in paragraph 7.
L.  “New Balance” means the outstanding balance on your Credit Account at the end of any Billing Cycle.  The New Balance is

2.  Your Responsibility for the Account: You are responsible for all amounts owed on your Account, whether it is used by you or

control over the Card and its use, not allowing any other person to use the Card.  In the event you allow another person to use 
the Card, you will be liable to us for such usage.  We extend purchase credit to you on your Account when we pay the merchant 
on your behalf for the transaction.

At your request, we may issue an additional Card with your Account number in the name of an Authorized User.  You agree 
to be obligated for all purchases, cash advances, interest and other fees resulting from the Authorized User’s use of the Account.  
The Authorized User will also be responsible for all purchases, cash advances, interest and other fees resulting from their use of 
the Account, but we are not required to seek recovery from the Authorized User before requiring payment from you.  If you decide 
to terminate an Authorized User’s use of the Account, we must receive written notice from you, together with the return of the 
Card issued to the Authorized User (cut in half).  You remain responsible for all charge activity made until we receive notification.
Each person receiving a Card agrees to sign the Card.  Cards are not transferable and should not be given to anyone else 
to use.  Additional people who desire an account should apply for their own account.  You may apply for an additional Card for 
Authorized Users.  The Cards are issued by us and you agree to surrender the Cards to us upon our demand.  You also agree 
to notify us immediately if the Card is lost or stolen or you suspect unauthorized use of the Card.

You promise to pay us all sums you owe on your Credit Account, along with our Interest and other charges, in accordance 

with this Contract.

3.  Using  your Account  to  Obtain  Credit:  We  reserve  the  right,  in  our  sole  discretion,  to  limit  the  use,  amount,  frequency,  or 
number of transactions you can make on the Card, including limiting your use of the Card at ATMs. You can use the Card and 
your Account to make Purchases and obtain Cash Advances as long as you do not exceed your Credit Limit and your Account 
is not closed, suspended, or exceeds authorization limits. When you receive your Card, you may be assigned a PIN. If a Pin is 
assigned to you, you can obtain a Cash Advance at any authorized ATM by using the Card and PIN. A Cash Advance must be 
greater or equal to $20.00 to be approved. Your Card cannot be used for illegal transactions.

4.  Your Credit Limit: Your Credit Limit appears on the Card Carrier and on your Statements.  You may not exceed your Credit Limit 
at any time.  However, if we choose to permit you to obtain additional credit, we may require that you pay us any amount over 
your Credit Limit immediately upon demand rather than in monthly installments and we may suspend your Account privileges or 
cancel your Account as described in Paragraph 26. 

 
  
 
  
 
  
5.  Monthly Billing Statements: We will send you a monthly Statement at the end of each billing period.  The Statements 
will reflect the account activity and our charges during the Billing Cycle.  They will also show your Minimum Payment 
and the Payment Due Date, which is the date we must receive at least the Minimum Payment.  If there are more than 
one of you living at different addresses, we will send the Statements only to the person named as the “Applicant” on the 
application.

6.  Payments: Payments will be credited as of the date of receipt if they are received at the address on the payment stub.  
We  may  accept  late  payments  or  partial  payments  or  checks  and  money  orders  marked  “payment  in  full”  or  similar 
language, without losing any of our rights under this Contract to receive payment in full.  Payments should not be made 
by postdated check.  If we receive payment by postdated check, we may deposit it and shall have no liability if it is posted 
prior to the date that appears on the check.  We reserve the right to limit available credit resulting from any payment 
for up to fourteen (14) days.  However, for security purposes, we may hold a payment longer.  By sending your check, 
please be aware that you are authorizing us to use the 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 amount.  Please contact the Customer Service Department at the 
telephone number on your Statement to learn about other payment options if you prefer to not have your check used 
in this way.  In the event that your check is returned unpaid for insufficient or uncollected funds, we may represent your 
check electronically.  In the ordinary course of business, your check will not be provided to you with your bank statement, 
but a copy can be retrieved by contacting your financial institution.

7.  Minimum Payment: You may pay your entire balance at any time, without penalty.  Whenever a balance is due, you 
must pay us at least the Minimum Payment each month.  The Minimum Payment is the sum of (i) the Monthly Payment 
plus (ii) all past due Monthly Payment amounts plus (iii) any amount your Account exceeds the Credit Limit.  The Monthly 
Payment is the greater of: $30.00; 4% of your balance or Current Cycle’s Interest, Late Payment Fee, and 1% of the 
balance. If your New Balance is less than the Minimum Payment, the New Balance is due in full.  We must receive your 
payment on or before the Payment Due Date shown on the Statement.  The Payment Due Date will be twenty-five (25) 
days from the Closing Date.

8.  Applying your Payments: In general, the payment will be applied in the following order: Unpaid Interest, Unpaid Fees 
and other Charges; and then principal balance. Payments applied to the principal balance will first be paid to balances 
at the highest Annual Percentage Rate (APR) and then to balances at lower APR’s.

9.  Payment Methods: All payments must be made in U.S. dollars and drawn on a financial institution located in the United 
States.  Payments should be made payable to Show MasterCard Credit Card.  Do not send cash through the mail.  
Payments made through the mail in the form of cash or third-party checks may not be accepted.

10.  When Interest is Imposed: Interest will be imposed on Purchases only if you elect not to pay the entire New Balance 
shown on your Statement by the Payment Due Date.  For Cash Advances, Interest is imposed from the date the Cash 
Advance is made until it is paid in full and there is no grace period in which you may repay a Cash Advance to avoid 
Interest.

11.  Average Daily Balance: We start with the Previous Balance and add purchases and cash advances as of their post 
dates and fees and charges as of the transaction dates.  We subtract payments and credits as of their post dates.  Then 
we add the daily balances and divide by the number of days in the Billing Cycle.  To calculate the interest, we multiply 
the Average Daily Balance by the Monthly Periodic Rate.  The Monthly Periodic Rate is calculated by dividing the Annual 
Percentage Rate disclosed in the “Interest Rates and Interest Charges” table in this Contract by 12 (months).  In any 
Billing Cycle when you are subject to Interest and the Interest as computed above is less than the minimum Interest as 
indicated in the “Interest Rates and Interest Charges” table on the back of the application, you will be billed the minimum 
Interest.

12.  Account Fees: Please see the “Fees” table on the back of the application for the amounts of charges applicable to your 
Account.  Your account terms may or may not include all charges listed below.  You agree to pay us the following other 
Fees, each of which will be billed to your Account as a Purchase and will accrue Interest:
a.  Annual Fee: We may impose an Annual Fee on your Credit Account.  The Annual Fee will be charged on the first 

Billing Cycle and in about the same Billing Cycle of each following year. 

b.  Cash Advance Fee: We charge a Cash Advance Fee for each Cash Advance taken on your Account through either 

an ATM, bank withdrawal or other means provided.

c.  Late Payment Fee: In every billing period in which your payment is not received by the payment due date, you will 

be charged a Late Payment Fee.

d.  Returned Payment Fee: If any check or other payment instrument is not honored for any reason by the institution on 

which it was drawn, we will impose a Returned Payment Fee.

e.  Authorized User Fee: We will charge a fee if you request an Authorized User on your account.

13.  Other Fees: You agree to pay us the following other Fees, each of which will be billed to your Account as a Purchase 

and will accrue Interest:
a.  Express Delivery Fee: We will charge a $25.00 fee for the express delivery of your Cards sent priority two (2) day 

b.  Expedited Payment Fee: We will charge a $9.00 fee if you speak with a customer service representative and request 
that we expedite your payment by withdrawing funds from your checking or savings account to make a payment on 
your Account. We will process your request and post an Expedited Payment Fee to your Account.

c.  Additional Card Fee: If you authorize us to issue additional Cards on the Credit Account for you or for other Authorized 

d.  Copying Fee: We will charge a $5.00 per item fee if you request a duplicate of any sales draft, statement or other 

Users, there is an Additional Card Fee imposed annually.

document. We will charge you for each copy we provide.

e.  Due Date Change Fee: We will charge $10.00 if you request a change in your payment due date.
f.  Replacement Card Fee: We will charge $5.00 to replace your credit card.

14.  Lost or Stolen Cards: If your Card is lost or stolen, or if you believe that it is being used without your permission, you 
must notify us at (866) 205-8313, which is available 24 hours a day.  You should also follow up in writing.  You should not 
use the Account or Card after you have notified us.  You will not be liable for any unauthorized use that occurs after you 
notify us of the loss, theft or possible unauthorized use.

15.  ARBITRATION: PLEASE READ THIS PROVISION OF THE AGREEMENT CAREFULLY.  YOU AGREE THAT ANY 
DISPUTE WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION.  ARBITRATION REPLACES THE RIGHT TO GO TO 
COURT, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO A JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR SIMILAR 
PROCEEDING.  IN ARBITRATION, A DISPUTE IS RESOLVED BY AN ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF A JUDGE OR 
JURY.  ARBITRATION PROCEDURES ARE SIMPLER AND MORE LIMITED THAN COURT PROCEDURES.  YOU 
ALSO AGREE ANY ARBITRATION WILL BE LIMITED TO THE DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND US AND WILL NOT 

courier.  

BE PART OF A CLASS-WIDE OR CONSOLIDATED ARBITRATION PROCEEDING.
a.  Agreement  to Arbitrate:  You  and  we  agree  that  any  Dispute  will  be  resolved  by Arbitration.    This  agreement  is 
governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA), 9 USCS § 1 et seq. and the substantive law of the State of South 
Dakota.

b.  Definitions: Arbitration is a means of having an independent third party resolve a Dispute.  A “Dispute” is any controversy 
or claim between you and us.  The term Dispute is to be given its broadest possible meaning and includes, without 
limitation, all claims or demands (whether past, present or future, including events that occurred prior to the opening 
of this Account), based on any legal or equitable theory (tort, contract or otherwise), and regardless of the type of 
relief sought (i.e. money, injunctive relief or declaratory relief).  A Dispute includes, by way of example and without 
limitation, any claim based upon federal or state constitution, statute, ordinance, regulation, or common law, and 
any issue concerning the validity, enforceability or scope of this arbitration agreement.  The term “you” includes any 
cosigner, co-obligor, guarantor, joint user or Authorized User and also your heirs, guardian, personal representative 
or trustee in bankruptcy.  The term “us” includes our employees, officers, directors, attorneys, affiliated companies, 
predecessors and assigns, as well as our marketing, servicing and collection representatives and agents.

c.  Selection of Arbitrator.  If a Dispute arises, the party asserting the claim or defense must initiate arbitration, provided 
you or we may first try to resolve the matter informally or through customary business methods, including collection 
activity. The party filing an arbitration may initiate and pursue the matter with the American Arbitration Association 
(“AAA”) or we may agree upon a different arbitrator described below. If you claim you have a Dispute with us, but do 
not initiate an arbitration or select an arbitrator, we may do so. You may obtain copies of the current rules of AAA and 
forms and instructions for initiating an arbitration by contacting them as follows:

American Arbitration Association   
335 Madison Avenue, Floor 10 
New York, NY 10017-4605 
Website: www.adr.org

The policies and procedures of the arbitrator will apply provided that they are consistent with this arbitration agreement.  
To the extent the arbitrator’s rules or procedures are different than the terms of this arbitration agreement, the terms 
of this agreement shall apply. If the AAA is not available to adjudicate the matter, or if the AAA is not convenient 
or acceptable to you, you and we may agree on one or more neutral arbitrators. If you and we cannot agree on 
arbitrator(s), an arbitrator will be appointed by a court with jurisdiction over the matter pursuant to the FAA.

d.  Cost of Arbitration: We will pay the filing fee and any costs or fees charged by the arbitrator regardless of whether 
you or we initiate the arbitration.  Except where otherwise provided by applicable law, each party will be responsible 
for its own attorneys’ fees and other expenses.  Unless prohibited by law, the arbitrator may award fees, costs and 
reasonable attorneys’ fees to the party who substantially prevails in the arbitration.

e.  Place of Arbitration: Unless you and we agree to a different location, the arbitration will be held in the same city as 
the U.S. District Court closest to your then-current mailing address. The arbitrator may decide the matter based upon 
written submissions by the parties if permitted under the arbitration rules.

f.  Waiver of Rights: You are waiving your right to a jury trial, to have a court decide your Dispute, to participate in a 
class action lawsuit and to certain discovery and other procedures that are available in a lawsuit.  The arbitrator has 
the ability to award all remedies available by statute, at law or in equity to the prevailing party.  You and we agree 
that the arbitrator has no authority to conduct class-wide proceedings and will be restricted to resolving the individual 
disputes between you and us.  If an arbitration firm or arbitrator fails or refuses to enforce the waiver of class-wide 
arbitration, then the Dispute will proceed in court. The validity, effect and enforceability of this waiver of class action 
lawsuit  and  class-wide  arbitration  is  to  be  determined  solely  by  a  court  of  competent  jurisdiction  and  not  by  the 
arbitration firm or arbitrator. If such court refuses to enforce the class-wide arbitration waiver, then it is agreed the 
Dispute will proceed in court rather than arbitration.

g.  Review of Arbitration Award. The arbitrator shall apply applicable federal and South Dakota substantive law and the 
terms of your agreements with us.  The arbitrator shall make written findings and the arbitrator’s award may be filed 
with any court having jurisdiction.  The arbitration award shall be supported by substantial evidence and must be 
consistent with your agreements with us and applicable law or may be set aside by a court upon judicial review.
h.  Other Provisions: If any portion of this arbitration agreement is subsequently deemed unenforceable, the enforceability 
of any other provision of this agreement shall not be affected and the unenforceable term shall be amended such 
that it is enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law provided that if a class action litigation or a class-wide 
arbitration is permitted for any reason, either party may require that the entire Dispute be heard by a Judge, sitting 
without a jury, under applicable court rules and procedures.  This arbitration provision shall survive: (i) termination or 
changes in your agreements with us, the Account, or the relationship between you and us concerning the Account; 
(ii) the bankruptcy of any party; and (iii) any transfer, sale or assignment of the Account, or any amounts owed on the 
Account, to any other person or entity.

i.  Right to Opt-Out: If you do not wish to agree to arbitrate all Disputes with us, you must advise us in writing at the 
following address within thirty (30) days of our mailing this agreement to you at the most recent mailing address we 
have for you: Bryant State Bank,  PO Box 5161, Sioux Falls, SD 57117-5161.

16.  If Your Card is Refused: We are not responsible, and have no liability, if a merchant, a financial institution, an ATM or 
any third party refuses to honor your Card or accept a transaction on your Account.  Although you may have the credit 
available, we may be unable to authorize credit due to operational difficulties or mistakes.  The number of transactions 
you make, or transactions above a certain dollar amount, may require authorization before the transaction is approved.  
Neither we nor our agents will be responsible or have any liability if authorization for a transaction is not given.  If your 
Account is over limit or delinquent, authorization of credit for transactions may be declined.  All transactions, even those 
for which we have provided you with a receipt, are subject to our final verification.

17.  Cardholder Privacy: We will provide you with a complete Privacy Notice on an annual basis.  We may from time to 
time, review your credit, employment and income records.  Your telephone calls with our service representatives may 
be recorded and may be listened to in order to evaluate the quality of customer service we provide to you.  We may use 
automated telephone equipment or pre-recorded telephone calls to contact you about your Account.  We may offer a 
variety of methods by which you can obtain information about your Account.  Security measures cannot insure against 
unauthorized  inquiries.   You  agree  that  we  will  not  be  responsible  for  the  release  of  information  to  anyone  who  has 
gained possession of a Card or Identification Number, Credit Account Number or Social Security Number.   

18.  Calls and Text Messages to Your Cellular Phone: If you provide us with your cellular phone number or contact us 
from your cellular phone, you are providing this phone number for us, our affiliates or any third party acting on our behalf 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
to contact you at this number.  You agree that we may use this phone number to contact you for any business purpose 
related to your account and you agree to be responsible for any fees or charges you incur as a result of providing this 
information.  You may request this number not be used.  We may offer options for text messages or other electronic 
communications that may be received or accessed from your cellular phone and you agree that by enrolling in these 
services, you understand and agree to be responsible for any fees or charges you incur as a result of this enrollment.
19.  Your Billing Rights: Keep this Document for Future Use.  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 Statement: If you think there is an error on your statement, write to us at: 
Bryant State Bank PO Box 5161, Sioux Falls, SD 57117-5161. In your letter, give us the following information: Your name 
and account number; the dollar amount of the suspected error; a description of the problem. If you think there is an error 
on your bill, describe what you believe is wrong and why you believe it is a mistake.  You must contact us; 1) Within 60 
days after the error appeared on your statement and 2) If you have enrolled in automatic payment, at least 3 business 
days before the 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.

  When we receive your letter, we must do two things: 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.  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.  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 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: These limitations do not apply 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.
