ACCOUNT FEES AND OTHER INTEREST RATES
ABOUT YOUR APRs
Your APRs are shown on page 1.
A Daily Periodic Rate is used to determine your Interest Charges in any billing cycle. To determine this rate, we divide
your APR by 365; then round this number up to the next hundred thousandth of a percentage point.
PROMOTIONAL CREDIT PLANS
From time to time, we may offer one or more Promotional Credit Plans. These may be offered to you:
prior to your purchase; and/or
at the time of your purchase.
Any of these Plans may be offered at any time and are conditioned on your timely payment of at least the Minimum
Payment Due for each billing statement:
a) Waived Interest Charge Credit Plan
With this Plan there are no Interest Charges on your purchase for a specified period.
b) Same As Cash Monthly Payment Credit Plan
With this Plan, there are no Interest Charges on your purchase if you repay the full cash price of the purchase before the
promotional expiration date shown on your billing statement.
If you do not repay in full by the promotional expiration date, Interest Charges will be imposed from the purchase date.
c) Reduced Rate Credit Plan
With this Plan, you will receive a reduced periodic rate on your purchase for a specified period.

Certain rules apply to the allocation of payments and interest charges on your promotional purchase if you make
more than one purchase on your Card. Call 1-888-367-4310 or review the HOW WE APPLY PAYMENTS section of
this Agreement for information.
INTEREST CHARGES
HOW INTEREST CHARGES ARE CALCULATED
Each billing statement shows the Interest Charges, which are calculated separately for each:
Promotional Credit Plan with a unique due date or unique terms;
Regular Credit Plan
The total interest charge for the billing cycle is the sum of the interest charge for each plan subject to the minimum interest
charge shown in the chart.
For Same As Cash Plans, if interest is applied, the interest is accrued from the transaction date of the purchase through
the current cycle. The Interest Charge is the total of:
the applicable Daily Periodic Rate for the current cycle times the Daily Balance for each day in the current cycle;
plus
the applicable Daily Periodic Rate for each prior cycle times the Daily Balances of the Credit Plan for each day
during each prior cycle.
For Plans other than Same As Cash, the interest charge is the total of:
the applicable Daily Periodic Rate for the Plan times the Daily Balance for the plan for each day in the cycle.
HOW DAILY BALANCE IS DETERMINED
To determine your Daily Balance, we:
take the opening balance for each Plan for that day; then
add the following that were incurred on that day:
a)
any new purchases
b)
any previous day's periodic Interest Charges
c)
any fees and charges, including any credit insurance premiums or debt cancellation fees, if these apply;
then
subtract any payments and/or credits.
For any Same As Cash Credit Plan:
Any credit insurance premiums or debt cancellation fees are not included in the Daily Balance of that Plan during the
promotional period.
We also make any needed adjustments. For example:
If a transaction posts after but occurs before the start of a billing cycle, we may adjust the amount above to
include this transaction. It will be included as of the first day of the billing cycle in which it posts.
If your Account is subject to a grace period during the billing cycle, your payments will be subtracted from all Daily
Balances in the current billing cycle.
If a transaction for a returned payment or a dispute resolved in our favor posts after the beginning of the billing
cycle, we will make this adjustment:
-the applicable Daily Balance(s) and any related Interest Charges will be adjusted to include the transaction amount as of
the date of the original payment or transaction.
To calculate your Average Daily Balance, we:
add the Daily Balances for each day of the billing cycle; then
divide this total by the number of days in the billing cycle.
How to avoid paying interest on purchases
The number of days until your Payment Due Date after the close of each billing cycle is indicated in the Interest Rates and
Interest Charges section of this Agreement. We will not charge you Interest on purchases if you pay your entire balance
by the due date each month.
Interest charges begin on the transaction date and continue to accrue until paid in full except as noted below:
EXCEPTIONS
1. For New Purchases and balances: No interest is charged in a billing cycle on a Regular, Reduced Rate, or Special
Repayment Terms Credit Plans if the combined Previous Balance of those Plans at the beginning of the cycle is:
a)
zero; or
b)
a credit balance (e.g., less than zero); or
c)
paid in full before the Payment Due Date that falls during the cycle;
2.
For Waived Interest Charge Credit Plans: No interest is charged for the promotional period.
3. For Same As Cash Credit Plans: No interest is charged if the full cash sales price is paid in full before the promotion
expiration date.
HOW WE APPLY PAYMENTS
The amount of your payment that is equal to the Minimum Payment Due is:
applied as we determine within legal guidelines; and
usually applied to the minimum due on each credit plan.
Any payment amount over the Minimum Payment Due is applied to higher APR balances before lower ones.
If you have a Same As Cash Credit Plan(s):
Until the final two complete billing cycles:
We apply payments the same way we apply payments to a Same As Cash Credit Plan having a 0% APR
During the final two complete billing cycles and up to the date of expiration we will apply payments
received in this order:
1)
To the required Minimum Payment Due; and
2)
To the plan(s) that is expiring, in the order of expiration.

if any, so long as the Claim is pending only in that court. However, if that Claim is transferred or appealed to a different
court, we reserve our right to elect arbitration at such time.
Location of Arbitration and Fees
Any participatory arbitration hearing that you attend will take place in a location that is reasonably convenient to where
you reside. On any Claim you file, you will pay the first $50 of the filing fee. At your request we will pay the remainder of
the filing fee and any administrative, arbitrator or hearing fees charged by the Administrator or arbitrator on any Claim
submitted by you in arbitration up to a maximum of $2,500. If you are required to pay any additional fees to the
Administrator or arbitrator, we will consider a request by you to pay all or part of the additional fees; however, we shall not
be obligated to pay any additional fees unless the arbitrator grants you an award. If the arbitrator grants an award in your
favor, we will reimburse you for any additional fees paid or owed by you to the Administrator or arbitrator. The parties shall
bear the expense of their respective attorney's and expert witness fees and costs, except as otherwise provided by law. If
a statute gives you the right to recover any of these fees, or the fees paid to the Administrator or arbitrator, these statutory
rights shall apply in the arbitration notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein. To the extent that such a
statute is not applicable, we will pay your reasonable attorney's and expert witness fees and costs to the extent you
prevail on Claims you assert against us in an arbitration which you have commenced against us or to the extent required
under applicable law for this arbitration provision to be enforced. If the arbitrator issues an award in our favor, you will not
be required to reimburse us for any fees we have previously paid to the Administrator or arbitrator or for which we are
responsible or for any attorneys' fees or costs we have incurred in prosecuting or defending against Claims in an
arbitration.
Covered Persons
This arbitration provision covers Claims by or against (a) us, any corporate parent, subsidiary, or affiliate, any predecessor
or successor of the foregoing, and any officer, director, employee, or representative of any of the aforementioned, (b) you
and any authorized user, and any other person claiming through you or any authorized user, and (c) any other person or
company assisting us in offering Cards, administering Accounts or providing Card related benefits or services if you assert
a Claim against such other person or company in connection with a Claim you assert against any person or entity
specified in subparagraph (a) of this paragraph. All of the aforesaid persons and entities are "Covered Persons" for
purposes of this arbitration provision.
Parties to Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
Arbitration shall be conducted in the name of individually named parties. Unless all parties consent, neither you
nor we may join, consolidate, or otherwise bring claims regarding two or more accounts, individuals, or account
holders in the same arbitration, other than Covered Persons, joint applicants or authorized users of an account.
There shall be no class actions, private attorney general actions, or other representative or collective actions, in
an arbitration, even if the underlying dispute has been asserted in a court as a class action, private attorney
general action, or other representative or collective action. No party may advance a Claim in arbitration on behalf
of or against a person in a representative or collective capacity, or on behalf of or against a person who is not an
individually named party to the arbitration; nor may a party seek an award or benefit in arbitration on behalf of or
against a person who is not an individually named party. The arbitrator shall not have authority to resolve any
claim advanced by or on behalf of anyone who is not an individually named party, and shall not have the
authority to make an award for the benefit of, or against, anyone who is not an individually named party. No class
actions or joinder or consolidation of any Claim with the claim of any other person are permitted in arbitration
without the express written consent of you and us. These limitations are hereafter referred to as the "Class
Action Waiver." Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Class Action Waiver does not apply to any lawsuit
or administrative proceeding filed against us by a state or federal government agency even when such agency is seeking
relief on behalf of a class of borrowers including you. This means that we will not have the right to compel arbitration of
any claim brought by such an agency. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the Class Action Waiver is material
and essential to the arbitration of any Claims between the parties and is nonseverable from this arbitration provision. If the
Class Action Waiver is limited, voided or found unenforceable, then the parties' agreement to arbitrate (except for this
sentence) shall be null and void with respect to such proceeding, subject to the right to appeal the limitation or invalidation
of the Class Action Waiver. You and we acknowledge and agree that under no circumstances will a class action be
arbitrated.
Decision and Appeal
The arbitrator's decision will be final and binding, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA. However, if the
amount of the Claim exceeds $50,000 or involves a request for injunctive or declaratory relief that could foreseeably
involve a cost or benefit to either party exceeding $50,000, any party can, within 30 days after the entry of the award by
the arbitrator, appeal the award to a three-arbitrator panel administered by the Administrator. The panel shall reconsider
anew any aspect of the initial award requested by the appealing party. The decision of the panel shall be by majority vote.
Reference in this arbitration provision to "the arbitrator" shall mean the panel if an appeal of the arbitrator's decision has
been taken. The costs of such an appeal will be borne in accordance with the paragraph above captioned "Location of
Arbitration and Fees." Any final decision of the appeal panel is subject to judicial review only as provided under the FAA.
Consequences of Electing Arbitration
THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO LITIGATE CLAIMS THROUGH A COURT BEFORE
A JUDGE OR JURY, BUT WILL NOT HAVE THAT RIGHT IF EITHER PARTY ELECTS ARBITRATION. THE PARTIES
HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVE THEIR RIGHTS TO LITIGATE SUCH CLAIMS IN A COURT
BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY UPON ELECTION OF ARBITRATION BY EITHER PARTY. MOREOVER, IF A PARTY
ELECTS TO ARBITRATE A CLAIM, THAT CLAIM CANNOT BE THE SUBJECT OF A CLASS ACTION OR OTHER
REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION.
Miscellaneous
This arbitration provision shall survive termination of your Account as well as the repayment of all amounts borrowed
hereunder and shall also survive any bankruptcy to the extent consistent with applicable bankruptcy law. In the event of a
conflict or inconsistency between any other provisions of this Agreement or the rules and procedures of the Administrator,
on the one hand, and this arbitration provision, on the other hand, this arbitration provision shall govern.
Notice and Cure; Special Payment
Prior to initiating a Claim, you may give us a written Claim Notice describing the basis of your Claim and the amount you
would accept in resolution of the Claim, and a reasonable opportunity, not less than 30 days, to resolve the Claim. Any
Claim Notice you send must also provide your name and account number, as well as your address and a phone number
where you can be reached during normal business hours. Such a Claim Notice must be sent to us at Capital One, P.O.
Box 98740, Las Vegas, NV 89193-8740. This is the sole and only method by which you can submit a Claim Notice. If (i)
you submit a Claim Notice in accordance with this Paragraph on your own behalf (and not on behalf of any other party);
(ii) you cooperate with us by promptly providing the information we reasonably request; (iii) we refuse to provide you with
the relief you request; and (iv) the arbitrator subsequently determines that you were entitled to such relief (or greater
relief), you will be entitled to a minimum award of at least $7,500 (not including any arbitration fees and attorneys' fees
and costs to which you will also be entitled). We encourage you to address all Claims you have in a single Claim Notice
and/or a single arbitration. Accordingly, this $7,500 minimum award is a single award that applies to all Claims you have
asserted or could have asserted in the arbitration, and multiple awards of $7,500 are not contemplated.
Opt Out of Arbitration
You may reject this arbitration provision without penalty. To do so, you must send Capital One, P.O. Box 98740, Las
Vegas, NV 89193-8740 a signed writing ("Rejection Notice") that is received within thirty (30) days after the date you

address, and social security number and must be signed by all persons contractually obligated on your account. You may
send the Rejection Notice in any manner you see fit as long as it is received at the specified address within the specified
time. No other methods can be used to reject the arbitration provision. If the Rejection Notice is sent on your behalf by a
third party, such third party must include evidence of his or her authority to submit the Rejection Notice on your behalf.
You agree that our business records will be final and conclusive with respect to whether you rejected this arbitration
provision in a timely and proper fashion.

What Will Happen After We Receive Your Letter
When we receive your letter, we must do two things:
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 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.

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

purchase.
To use this right, all of the following must be true:
1.
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.
2.
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:
Capital One
PO Box 5893, Carol Stream, IL 60197-5893
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.
