Dear Cardmember: 

JCB CONSUMER CREDIT CARD AGREEMENT AND DISCLOSURE UNDER THE FEDERAL TRUTH IN LENDING ACT (the "Agreement") 

Before  using  the  enclosed  card,  read  this  Agreement  carefully.    This  Agreement  governs  the  Marukai  Hawaii  Premium  JCB  Credit  Card  Account 
(“Account”) and the Marukai Hawaii Premium JCB Card (“Card”) that JCB International Credit Card Co., Ltd. (“we”, “us,” or “our”) has established for 
you.  By signing, accepting or using the Card, you agree to all of the terms written below.  We thank you for choosing JCB. 

USE OF ACCOUNT.  You can use your Card to obtain cash, goods, or services.  You agree that you will use your Card primarily for personal, 

1. 
family or household purposes. 

Purchases.  You can use your Card to pay for goods and services at any and all merchant locations and service providers that honor the Card.  Any 
such use of your Card will be treated as a “purchase.” 

Cash Advance.  You can use your Card to obtain cash from branch offices of participating financial institutions or automated teller machines (“ATM”) 
linked to a participating ATM network.  Any such use of your Card will be treated as a “cash advance.” 

CREDIT LIMIT / CASH LIMIT.  You agree not to make purchases that result in your Account balance exceeding the credit limit we set for your 
2. 
Account.  You agree not to make cash or check advances that result in your Account balance exceeding the cash limit we set for your Account.  The 
initial credit limit is set forth on the face of your Card carrier.  The credit limit and the cash limit can be found on your monthly statement.  We reserve 
the right to reduce your credit limit or cash limit. 

3. 
PROMISE TO PAY.  You promise to pay us for all purchases, cash advances, interest charges, fees and other charges associated with your 
Account.  You also agree to be responsible for charges (i) incurred by persons who have actual, implied or apparent authority to use your Card(s) 
and/or Account or (ii) from which any of you receives benefit, whether tangible or intangible. 

4. 
PAYMENTS.  Each month you will be billed for charges to your Account.  You may elect to pay only a portion of the amounts owing on your 
Account  each month, but  you  agree  to  pay  at least  the  Minimum  Payment Due  by the Payment Due  Date  shown  on  your  billing  statement.   The 
Minimum Payment Due will be 3% of the New Balance shown on your billing statement or $15 (whichever is greater), plus any part of the previous 
month’s Minimum Payment Due that is past due, and any amount by which your New Balance exceeds your assigned credit limit.  A New Balance of 
$15 or less must be paid in full. 

Payments 1) received by 5 p.m. local time at the address shown on the remittance coupon on the front of your billing statement; 2) paid with 
check  or  draft  drawn  in  US  dollars  on  a  U.S.  financial  institution  or  a  U.S.  dollar  money  order;  and  3)  sent  in  the  return  envelope  with  only  the 
remittance coupon from your billing statement, will be posted on the same business day of the receipt.  Payments received after 5 p.m. local time at 
the remittance address on any day including the Payment Due Date, but that otherwise meet the above requirements; will be credited as of the next 
business  day.    Any  other  payments,  credit  may  be  delayed  up  to  five  days.    Payments  received  with  post-dated  checks  will  be  deposited  upon 
receipt. 

The Payment Due Dates for your Account  will always fall on the same date each month and you have 27 days from your Statement Closing Date 
until the next Payment Due Date. If your due date falls on a weekend or holiday, your payments received on the next business day will be credited to 
your Account as received on the due date without late penalties. 

We can accept late payments  and partial  payments marked  “Payment in Full” (or similar  language)  without losing  our  rights including the  right to 
obtain full payment of the amount owed on your Account.  

Payment by third  party check or draft  that has been endorsed by  you to us is not acceptable.  Payment by check or draft made directly to us but 
drawn by anyone other than you may be rejected at our option. 

How we apply your payments: The Minimum Payment Due is applied at our discretion.  Any payments that exceed the Minimum Payment Due, 

are applied to the balance with the highest interest rate first. 

5. 
FOREIGN  TRANSACTIONS.    If  you  use the Card for a transaction in a currency  other  than U.S. dollars,  we and  our affiliate  company  will 
convert such transaction amount into U.S. dollars pursuant to the then-applicable conversion procedures and operating regulations.  Currently, we 
and our affiliate company use wholesale exchange rates, with the exception of certain currencies where there are government-mandated exchange 
rates.  In each case, such  applicable rate will  be increased by 1.1% by our affiliate company  as an exchange fee  and we will  bill  you for the U.S. 
dollar amount so calculated.  If a credit is issued for a transaction, the credit amount will be calculated in the same manner.  The currency conversion 
rate used on the conversion date may differ from the rate in effect on the date you transact on the Card  or the  date on which such transaction is 
posted.  You agree to accept such converted amount in U.S. dollars. 

VARIABLE  RATE  INFORMATION.    If you carry a balance or transact Cash or Check Advances on your  Account, we will charge interest at 

6. 
your VARIABLE ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE (APR).  

The  VARIABLE  ANNUAL  PERCENTAGE  RATE  may  change  quarterly  on  the  first  day  of  the  billing  cycle  beginning  in  April,  July,  October,  and 
January, based on the Prime Rate on the second Tuesday on March, June, September, and December.  Any increase will have the effect of higher 
monthly  payments  and  higher  interest  charges.    If  The  Wall  Street  Journal  stops  publishing  the  Prime  Rate,  we  reserve  the  right  to  choose  a 
comparable index. 

The  VARIABLE  ANNUAL  PERCENTAGE  RATE  is  calculated  by  adding  9.9%  to  the  Prime  Rate.  This  applies  to  purchases,  cash  and  check 
advances shown on your statement.  This VARIABLE ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE shall not exceed 18.0%. The INTEREST CHARGE is posted 
to  your  Account  at  the  end of the  billing cycle in a single  amount as  part of  the New Balance.  As of  June 12, 2018, the  applicable Prime Rate is 
4.75%.  Daily periodic rate currently is 0.040137%. 

PERIODIC  INTEREST  CHARGE  CALCULATION.    Interest  charge  on  purchases  and  interest  charge  on  cash  or  check  advances  are 

7. 
calculated separately. We use a method called “average daily balance (including new purchases)” as follows: 

PURCHASE BALANCE SUBJECT TO PERIODIC INTEREST CHARGE:  If you pay your New Balance at the beginning of a billing cycle in full by the 
Payment Due Date, no Periodic Interest Charges will be imposed on purchase transactions for the billing cycle.  For balances not paid in full, we will 
determine the daily purchase balance by (a) starting with the day’s beginning purchase balance for the Account, (b) adding any purchases or other 
charges posted that day, (c) subtracting  any payments or credits posted that day, and (d) subtracting any outstanding cash and check advances, 
Interest Charges or Account fees, (e) dividing the sum of (a) to (d) by the number of days in the billing cycle. 

CASH AND CHECK ADVANCE BALANCE SUBJECT TO PERIODIC INTEREST CHARGES:  We  will determine the cash and check advance 
balance subject to periodic Interest Charges by (a) starting with the day’s beginning cash balance for the Account, (b) adding any cash and check 
advances, (c) subtracting any payments or credits posted that day, and (d) subtracting any outstanding purchases, Interest Charges or Account fees, 
(e) dividing the sum of (a) to (d) by the number of days in the billing cycle. 

Transaction Interest Charge.  Each time you obtain cash or check advance, you agree to pay an INTEREST CHARGE of $2.00 or 2% of the amount 
of  the  advance,  whichever  is  greater.    The  assessment  of  a  cash  or  check  advance  Interest  Charge  may  increase  the  VARIABLE  ANNUAL 
PERCENTAGE RATE on your periodic statement above the corresponding VARIABLE ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE. 

Grace Period For Purchases.  We will not assess a Periodic Interest Charge on purchases in a billing cycle if we receive the New Balance shown on 
your previous billing statement by the Payment Due Date (which is twenty-seven (27) days after the closing date of the billing cycle).  If we do not 
receive the entire New Balance by the Payment  
Due  Date,  Periodic  Interest  Charges  will  accrue  on  all  purchases,  from  the  beginning  of  the  billing  cycle  or  the  date  they  were  posted  to  your 
Account, whichever is later. 

No Grace Period  For  Cash  and  Check  Advances.   There is  no  grace period  for cash  and check advances.   Periodic  Interest Charges accrue  on 
advances from the date they are posted to the Account.

8.  OTHER FEES AND CHARGES.  

Annual Fee.  There will be no annual credit card fee imposed for the first year.  After that, an annual credit card fee of $15.00 will be imposed. 

Late Charge Fee.  You will have at least twenty-seven (27) days between the Billing Cycle Closing Date and the Payment Due Date shown on your 
billing statement.  If we do not receive the Minimum Payment Due within two days after the Payment Due Date, you agree to pay a late charge up to 
$15.00 is imposed for the billing period. 

No Over-limit Fee. No over-limit fee is assessed on your Account. However, please note that we may decline any transaction that may cause you to 
exceed your credit limit. 

Dishonored Check Charge.   You agree to pay up to $15.00 for each dishonored check or money order presented  to us for  payment for the billing 
period. We reserve the right to impose the interest charge for the billing period in accordance with the Agreement for the payment amount that was 
not processed. 

Service Charges.   If  you  request a  duplicate statement or  copy  of  any  sales draft or  other  document  concerning  any charge  reflected  on  a billing 
statement, we will supply copies for $5.00 each, payable in advance.  If you request information that requires research, a fee of $15.00 per hour will 
be charged to your Account.  However, if any request for copies or research is made to dispute a charge on the Account, and it turns out the charge 
was in error, we will credit the Account for any service charges imposed. 

Collection Costs.  You agree to pay the costs of collecting the Account or retrieving the Card, including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees 
and costs, whether or not a lawsuit is filed. 

 We will not impose a separate fee to allow you to repay an extension of credit or Interest Charge, whether 
Fees Related to Method of Payment. 
such repayment is made by mail, electronic transfer, telephone authorization, or other means, including such payment involves an expedited service 
by us to avoid late charges. 

The above fees and charges will be assessed to the extent permitted by applicable law.

exercised any right under the Consumer Credit Protection Act.  

10.  CREDIT  BALANCE.  If a credit  balance (represented  by  an  amount  with  a  minus “-“  sign) is  shown on  your statement, it  represents money 
owed to you.  If you do not make sufficient charges against the credit balance or request a refund, we will issue a check to you for the credit balance 
if the amount is $1.00 or more within 30 days  after  expiration of the six month period following the date of the first statement indicating the credit 
balance.  To obtain a refund of a credit balance, please write to us  at JCB International  Credit Card Co., Ltd.,  800 W Sixth Street, Suite 200, Los 
Angeles, CA 90017.

time, upon  request.    From time to  time  we may  release information  about our  experience  with  you  and  your  credit records  to  credit  bureaus and 
others.    We  can  reinvestigate  any  information  you  provided  on  your  application  at  any  time,  and  in  the  course  of  doing  so  we  may  ask  you  for 
additional information, request credit bureau reports and otherwise verify your credit standing.

14.  MERCHANT RELATIONS.  We will not be responsible if any merchant or financial institution refuses to honor your Card.  If you

merchant.  We will not be responsible for errors in cash advance transactions that are due to malfunctions in ATMs. 

15.  AUTHORIZATIONS.    We  reserve  the  right  to  deny  authorization  of  any  purchase  or  cash  or  check  advance  transaction  without  prior

is closed.  You will be responsible to pay the outstanding balance on your Account according to the terms of this Agreement.

an  Account  with  another person as  a joint  Account  and  were approved, then  your  Account  is  a joint  Account.   If  you requested that an additional 
person be given a Card to use your Account (whether the Account is an individual Account or a joint Account), and we issued you an additional Card 
for that person, then that person is an Authorized User.  If your Account is an individual Account, you are liable for the full amount of all purchases, 
cash  and  check  advances,  Interest  Charges,  miscellaneous  charges  and  fees,  and  any  other  monetary  obligations  associated  with  the  Account,

those same rights at another time.  Our ability to enforce our remaining rights is not affected if we waive any of our rights.

that will allow us to identify you.  We may also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents.

In your letter, give us the following information: 

• Account information: Your name and account number. 
• Dollar amount: The dollar amount of the suspected error. 
• Description of 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: 

• Within 60 days after the error appeared on your statement. 
• At least 3 business days before an automated 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. 

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.  

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: 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 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. 

If all of the criteria above are met and you are still dissatisfied with the purchase, contact us in writing at: 

JCB International Credit Card Co., Ltd. 
800 W Sixth Street, Suite 200, Los Angeles, CA 90017 

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.
