3. TYPES OF PURCHASES AND TRANSACTIONS:
STANDARD PURCHASES
You can make a Standard Purchase using this Account by choosing the PayPal Credit Payment System when
you make a purchase from a Merchant at a website, by telephone, or at another authorized location. We will
extend credit to you, in the amount of the Cost of the Purchase, by paying the Merchant on your behalf.
CASH ADVANCES

disclose it on the billing statement as the Accrued Deferred Interest. If you do not pay the balance in full before

We may offer this as the only method you can use to make a Purchase from a Merchant, or as an option to the
Standard Purchase and/or Deferred Interest Purchase method. Easy Payments Purchases will be subject to the
terms offered at the time of the transaction by the Merchant. If you do not pay the balance in full by the End Date,
any remaining balance will be treated as a Standard Purchase.
4. YOUR CREDIT LINE AND OTHER AGREEMENTS:
Credit Line
At the time you open your Account and request your first extension of credit, we will
evaluate your request for credit. If we extend you credit, we will disclose to you the
total amount of your Credit Line, which will be no less than $250.00.
The total balances of all types of transactions on the Account plus transactions which
have been authorized but not yet posted to the Account (but not including unpaid fees)
may not exceed the Credit Line.
If you try to make a Purchase or Cash Advance that would cause your outstanding
balance to be above your Credit Line, we may treat that as a request to increase the
Credit Line.
For example: If your Credit Line is $650.00, you have a $200.00 balance, and you
try to make a Purchase or request a Cash Advance of $500.00, we may treat this
as a request for an increase in the Credit Line. If we approve this transaction, your
new Credit Line will be $700.00.
We have the option to refuse a request for an increase, but we will notify you of the
reasons for any refusal. We may allow you to complete a transaction in excess of your
available credit without increasing your Credit Line under certain circumstances, such
as if you have a previous "non-sufficient funds" payment on your Account.
We may increase, decrease or change your Credit Line at any time. We will notify you
if we do SO.
From time to time, we may review your Account to ensure that payments and
transactions posting to your Account are valid and not fraudulent and that good funds
are collected for payments. In doing so, we may temporarily limit your ability to utilize
the total credit available to borrow until the Account review is completed and/or
transactions and payments are confirmed to be valid and fully collected.
We May Charge your
You authorize us to charge this Account for the Cost of any Purchase or Cash
Account for Purchases
Advance you, or anyone to whom you have given permission to use this Account,
and Cash Advances
make using PayPal Credit. You understand that the amount that we actually pay to
the Merchant for any Purchase or that PayPal, Inc. pays to any recipient of a Cash
Advance may be less than the Cost of the Purchase or Cash Advance, because: (i)
the Merchant may agree that we or a third party may retain a portion of the Cost in
order to participate in PayPal Credit, or (ii) PayPal, Inc. may charge you fees for
facilitating a Send Money transaction, which may be equal to the total of: (1)
a
percentage of the Cash Advance extended in connection with the Send Money
transaction, plus (2) a transaction fee.
We May Charge your
You authorize us to charge this Account for interest, any fees, costs of collection, and
Account for Interest and
other amounts that you agree to pay in this Agreement.

7. INTEREST RATE AND INTEREST CHARGES:
You agree to pay interest on the outstanding balance of this Account until paid in full, as applicable. Interest may be
calculated differently depending on the type of transaction. Interest begins to accrue on the transaction posting date,
except interest does not accrue on any portion of a Standard Purchase or Cash Advance that you repay during the
Grace Period, if a Grace Period applies.
GRACE PERIOD
Standard Purchases &
There is a Grace Period of at least 25 days on new Standard Purchases and Cash
Cash Advances
Advances. This means we will not charge interest on these transactions if you pay
them in full by the Payment Due Date. For example, if:
You make a $500.00 Standard Purchase on January 1 and a $100.00 Cash
Advance on January 2;
We send you a statement on or about January 15 with a Payment Due Date
of
February 12; and
You pay $600.00 (the full amount) by February 12; then
You will not be charged any interest on these transactions.
You'll lose your Grace Period if you pay anything less than the total of new Standard
Purchases and Cash Advances on any statement by the Payment Due Date. If you
lose your Grace Period, you'll owe interest on any unpaid balance of a transaction to
which the Grace Period previously applied from the first day of the next Billing Cycle
and interest on new transactions from the date of posting. For example:
You make a $500.00 Standard Purchase on January 1 and a $100.00 Cash
Advance on January 2;
We send you a statement on or about January 15 with a Payment Due Date of
February 12; and
You pay $400.00 (only part of the full amount) by February 12; then
You will not be charged any interest on the amount you paid ($400.00);
You will be charged interest on the remaining amount ($200.00) from the first day
of the next Billing Cycle, February 16; and
New transactions will not qualify for the Grace Period.
To qualify for the Grace Period again, you must pay your Standard Purchases and
Cash Advance balances in full.
Deferred Interest
Deferred Interest Purchases do not have a Grace Period. However, you can avoid
Purchases
paying interest on a Deferred Interest Purchase by paying the balance in full by the
Expiration Date. If you do not pay the balance in full by the Expiration Date, you will be
charged interest from the transaction posting date.
Easy Payments
Easy Payments Purchases do not have a Grace Period. However, for Easy Payments
+ No Interest Purchases, you can avoid paying interest by paying the balance in full by
the End Date. If you do not pay the balance in full by the End Date, any remaining
balance will begin to accrue interest. Financed Easy Payments Purchases begin to
accrue interest on the transaction posting date.
HOW WE CALCULATE INTEREST
We calculate interest for each Billing Cycle using the Average Daily Balance (including new Purchases and Cash
Advances) method. A separate daily balance is calculated for each balance type. These balance types include, for
example, Standard Purchases, Cash Advances, and different Promotional Purchases.
How We Get To The
We take the starting balance each day for each balance type, add any new
Average Daily Balance
charges and fees, and subtract any payments and credits (treating any net credit
balance as zero). This gives us the daily balance. Then, we add up all the daily
balances for the Billing Cycle and divide the total by the number of days in the
Billing Cycle. The result is the Average Daily Balance for each balance type.
How We Get The
We multiply each Average Daily Balance for the Billing Cycle by the number of
Interest Charge For
days in the Billing Cycle. Then we multiply this by the Daily Periodic Rate. We do
Each Balance Type
this for each day in the Billing Cycle. This gives us the daily interest charges for
each of your different balances. "Daily Periodic Rate" is a daily interest rate. The
daily periodic rate for a given balance is equal to the APR for that balance divided
by 365.
How We Get The
We will then add up the interest for all the balance types, to get the interest for the
Interest Charge For
Account.
The Billing Cycle
MINIMUM INTEREST CHARGE
We charge a minimum of $2.00 of interest in any Billing Cycle in which you owe interest on Standard Purchases
and/or Cash Advances.
RATE OF INTEREST
We calculate interest on Standard Purchases, Promotional Purchases (except Financed Easy Payments), and
Cash Advances using the Daily Periodic Rate of 0.05477%. This corresponds to the APR of 19.99%. However, if
we have disclosed a special promotional rate at the time we made the special offer, we will calculate interest on
balances subject to that special offer using the applicable special promotional rate.
8. FEES:
You agree to pay the following fees, as applicable.
Late Payment Fee
We will charge you a Late Fee for each Billing Cycle the Minimum Payment Due is not
paid in full by its Payment Due Date. The Late Fee will be the amount of the missed
payment, up to:
$27.00 the first time you are late, and
$38.00 if your payment is late again within the next six Billing Cycles.
However, the Late Fee will not exceed $5.00 if the Minimum Payment Due is less than
$27.00.
Return Check Fee
We will charge you a Return Check Fee of up to $27.00 if a payment on this Account
is made with a check, including a draft, order, or other instrument, that is returned by
a
drawee for "not sufficient funds" or other reasons such as a closed account. The fee
will not exceed the Minimum Payment Due immediately prior to the date on which the
payment is returned. We will not charge the fee if we redeposit the check and it is
paid.
9. MINIMUM PAYMENTS DUE:
The Minimum Payment Due each Billing Cycle will be the sum of the payments due on your Account balances as
calculated below plus any amounts past due from previous Billing Cycles.
Standard Purchases and The payment due for Standard Purchases and Cash Advances will be the greatest of:
Cash Advances
$27.00, or $38.00 if you failed to pay at least the Minimum Payment Due by the
Payment Due Date in any one or more of the prior six Billing Cycles; or
3% of the balances on the Account (excluding any balance on a Deferred Interest
Purchase prior to its Expiration Date and Easy Payments Purchase prior to its End
Date) on the last day of the Billing Cycle; or
1% of the balances on the Account (excluding any balance on a Deferred Interest
Purchase prior to its Expiration Date and Easy Payments Purchase prior to its End
Date) on the last day of the Billing Cycle plus:
Any interest assessed in that Billing Cycle (excluding any accrued interest on a
Deferred Interest Purchase billed in that Billing Cycle); and
Any Late Fees and Return Check Fees assessed in that Billing Cycle.
However, if your unpaid balance of Standard Purchases and/or Cash Advances is less
than the amount described above, the payment due will be that unpaid balance.
No Payments + No
There is no payment due for a No Payments + No Interest if paid in full Purchase prior
Interest If Paid In Full
to its Expiration Date.
Purchases
Easy Payments
The payment due for each Easy Payments Purchase will be the Monthly Plan
Purchases
Payment. To determine the Monthly Plan Payment amount, we divide the Easy
Payments Purchase amount by the number of months between the Purchase and the
scheduled End Date. The Monthly Plan Payment due on the scheduled End Date (or
sooner if you pay off the balance early) may be more or less than the others, because
it will be adjusted as necessary to pay the amount you owe at that time.
10. PAYMENT APPLICATION AND PREPAYMENT:
We will use each payment in the amount of the Minimum Payment Due or less, first to pay billed Monthly Plan
Payments on any Easy Payments Purchases, then billed interest, then billed fees, then the principal balance, and then
any other amounts due. However, if you have a balance on a Deferred Interest Purchase, during the two Billing Cycles
immediately preceding its Expiration Date, we may use the payment, after the amount to pay billed Monthly Plan
Payments on any Easy Payments Purchases to pay the balance on such Deferred Interest Purchase.
You may at any time pay, in whole or in part, the total unpaid balance without any additional charge for prepayment. If
you pay more than the Minimum Payment Due in any Billing Cycle, you still must make the Minimum Payment Due
the next Billing Cycle. We will use any amount in excess of the Minimum Payment Due to pay the balances with the
highest interest rate, then the next highest interest rate, and so forth. However, during the two Billing Cycles
immediately preceding the Expiration Date of any Deferred Interest Purchase, we may use payments first to pay the
balance on such Deferred Interest Purchase(s). We may choose to apply prepayments to the Deferred Interest
Purchase balances before other balances.
11. BILLING STATEMENTS AND CREDIT BALANCES:

THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE ("OPT-OUT") BY MAILING US A WRITTEN OPT-

resolve any Claims (as defined below) in accordance with the provisions set
forth in this Agreement to Arbitrate. Pursuant to this Agreement to Arbitrate,
any Claims will be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration,
rather than in court, except that you may assert Claims in small claims court, if
your Claims qualify and so long as the matter remains in such court and
advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis. The
Terms and Conditions evidence a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus
the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., governs the interpretation and
enforcement of this Agreement to Arbitrate. The Agreement to Arbitrate shall
survive the closing of your Account and/or the termination of the Terms and
Conditions.
Claims Subject to
We and you (including users, custodians, and beneficiaries of your Account) agree to
Arbitration
arbitrate any and all disputes or claims between you and us, including claims involving
Bill Me Later, Inc. and its or the Lender's agents, employees, officers, directors,
predecessors in interest, and successors and assigns ("Claim(s)"). This Agreement to
Arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted. Claims include, but are not limited to:
Federal and state statutory claims, common law claims, and those based in
contract, tort, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory;
Claims or disputes that arose before the effective date of the Terms and Conditions
or any prior Terms and Conditions (including, but not limited to, claims relating to
advertising, promotions, or disclosures); and
Claims or disputes that may arise after the termination of the Terms and Conditions.

Association ("AAA") at www.adr.org. alternative.
Prohibition of Class and
YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE
Representative Actions
OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS
and Non-Individualized
MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR
Relief
PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE
ARBITRATOR(S) MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S
OR PARTY'S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM
OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE
ARBITRATOR(S) MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE,
AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY
SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF
NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF
AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER PAYPAL CREDIT USERS.
Arbitration Procedures
Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator
or arbitrators instead of a judge or jury, and court review of an arbitration award is very
limited. However, the arbitrator(s) can award the same damages and relief on an
individual basis that a court can award to an individual. The arbitrator(s) also must
follow the terms of these Terms and Conditions as a court would. All issues are for the
arbitrator(s) to decide, except that issues relating to arbitrability, the scope or
enforceability of this Agreement to Arbitrate, or the interpretation of the subsection
above entitled "Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-individualized
Relief," shall be for a court of competent jurisdiction to decide. The arbitration will be
conducted by the AAA under its rules and procedures, including the AAA's Consumer
Arbitration Rules (as applicable), as modified by this Agreement to Arbitrate. The
AAA's rules are available at www.adr.org.
The arbitration shall be held in the county in which you reside or at another mutually
agreed location. If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, you or we may elect
to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or based solely on written submissions,
which election shall be binding on you and us subject to the discretion of the
arbitrator(s) to require an in-person hearing, if the circumstances warrant. Attendance
at an in-person hearing may be made by telephone by you and/or us, unless the
arbitrator(s) requires otherwise.
The arbitrator(s) will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with applicable
law, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege
recognized by law. The arbitrator(s) shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations
involving different PayPal Credit users, but is/are bound by rulings in prior arbitrations
involving the same PayPal Credit user to the extent required by applicable law. The
award of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award
rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
Any settlement offer made by you or us shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator.
Costs of Arbitration
Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's
rules, unless otherwise stated in this Agreement to Arbitrate. If the value of the relief
sought is $10,000 or less, at your request, we will pay all filing, administration, and
arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration. Any request for payment of fees by us
should be submitted to the AAA in your Demand for Arbitration and we will make
arrangements to pay all necessary fees directly to the AAA. If the value of the relief
sought is more than $10,000 and you are able to demonstrate that the costs of
accessing arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of accessing a court
for purposes of pursuing litigation on an individual basis, we will pay as much of the
filing, administration, and arbitrator fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent
the cost of accessing arbitration from being prohibitive. In the event the arbitrator
determines the Claim(s) you assert in the arbitration to be frivolous, you agree to
reimburse us for all fees associated with the arbitration paid by us on your behalf that
you otherwise would be obligated to pay under the AAA's rules.
Severability and Future
With the exception of any of the provisions in the subsection of this Agreement to
Amendments to the
Arbitrate titled "Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized
Agreement to Arbitrate
Relief," if a court decides that any part of this Agreement to Arbitrate is invalid or
unenforceable, the other parts of this Agreement to Arbitrate shall still apply. If a court
decides that any of the provisions in the subsection of this Agreement to Arbitrate
titled "Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief" is
invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Agreement to Arbitrate shall be null
and void. The remainder of the Terms and Conditions will continue to apply.
Notwithstanding any provision in the Terms and Conditions to the contrary, you and we
agree that if we make any amendment to this Agreement to Arbitrate (other than an
amendment to any notice address or website link provided in the Agreement to
Arbitrate) in the future, that amendment shall not apply to any Claim that was filed in a
legal proceeding against us prior to the effective date of the amendment. The
amendment shall apply to all other disputes or Claims governed by the Agreement to
Arbitrate. We will notify you of amendments to this Agreement to Arbitrate by posting
the amended terms on www.paypal.com at least 30 days before the effective date of
the amendments and by providing mail notice. If you do not agree to these amended
terms, you may close your Account within the 30 day period and you will not be bound
by the amended terms.

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 line.
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.

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.)

check that accesses your credit card account do not qualify.
3. You must not yet have fully paid for the purchase.

P.O. Box 5018, Timonium, MD 21094, or call customer service at 1-866-528-3733. If your PayPal Credit Account is

report you as delinquent.
