or
electronically authenticated. The words "Applicable Law" shall mean federal law and the laws of the state of Connecticut. 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 on your Account,
which will be set at 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-c 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 increase.

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 as required by Applicable
Law. 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
limitwill also be shown on your monthly periodic statement of account
5.

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

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 in the chart below. The daily periodic rate will be the annual rate divided by 365 (366 in a leap year).

Charges for the current billing period.

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 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 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 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.
