us contained in this agreement.  
 
3. Sign the Card and Keep This Agreement. You must sign the card before you use it. You should read this 
agreement and keep it for your records.  
 
4. Military Lending Act  � Federal law provides important protections to members of the Armed Forces and their 
dependents relating to extensions of consumer credit.  In general, the cost of consumer credit to a member of the 
Armed Forces and his or her dependent may not exceed an ann ual percentage rate of 36 percent. This rate must

for ancillary products sold in connection with the credit transaction; any application  fee charged (other than certain 
application fees for specified credit transactions or accounts); and any participation fee charged (other than certain 
participation fees for a credit card account).  
 
In the event the Military Lending Act applies to an SSFC U product or service, then notwithstanding any other term or 
condition in such product or service, such product or service insofar as it applies to the covered borrower, (1) shall not 
contain any arbitration provision, (2) shall only be subject to setoff o r cross -collateralization as is allowed by law, and 
(3) all legal notices shall be provided in accordance with the law of the applicable jurisdiction.   
 
If you are a covered borrower under the Military Lending Act you are entitled by law to an oral disclo sure of your loan 
terms.  If you would like to hear that disclosure, please call 1 -866-452-6945.  
 
5. Promise to Pay.  You promise to pay us the amount of all purchases , cash advances and balance transfers that you 
make using the card and all other charges, including the interest charge incurred under this agreement. Each use of 
the card at an ATM to obtain cash is a cash advance. If you allow any person to use the card, you must pay for their 
purchases, cash advances , balance transfers  and other cha rges, too.  
 
6. Promise to Pay Applies to All Applicants.  If more than one person signed the application, each of you promises to 
pay all amounts owed to us under this agreement. This means that we may collect money owed to us from each of 
you or from all of you.  
 
7. Your Credit Limit.  We will tell you the maximum amount you may owe us at any one time. That amount is your credit 
limit. We may, in our sole discretion, allow additional borrowing if you are already up to your credit limit or if the 
borrowing would take you over your credit limit.  
 
8. Monthly Statement an d Payments.  We will send you a statement each month if your account has a balance. We will 
send you one statement for all cards issued with your account number. If more than one person signed the 
application, we will send the statement to the first person listed on the application. Each statement covers a billing 
cycle.  A billing cycle is the number of days from the day after the �statement date� on your last statement to the 
�statement date� on your current statement.

Your monthly statement will show your new balance, which is the total amount you owe us as of the statement date. It 
will also show the minimum payment. Your minimum payment will be either $20.00 or 2% of the new balance, 
rounded up to the nearest doll ar, whichever is greater. If your new balance is less than $20.00, your minimum 
payment will be the amount of the new balance. You must pay at least the minimum payment by the payment due 
date shown on your statement. The payment due date for a billing per iod will be 25 days after the billing period ends. 
You may pay the new balance in full or in part at any time. If you pay more than the minimum payment, you will still 
have a minimum payment due on the next statement.  
 
9. Other Payment Terms.  All your payments to us must be in U.S. dollars. All checks and other payment instruments or 
automatic debits must be drawn on funds on deposit in the United States.  We can accept partial or late payments, as 
well as payments that are marked with �paid i n full� or any other similar language without losing any of our rights 
under this agreement.  Payments made to your account will be allocated in the following manner:  
a. Unpaid interest charges  
b. Fees and penalties  
c. Balances with the highest APR  
 
10. Periodic Intere st Rate Determination.  Periodic Rates (Variable Rate). The Monthly Periodic Rate applied to the 
balance subject to an interest charge for both purchases and cash advances will be a floating rate based upon an 
index. However, regardless of the index value, the effective Annual Percentage Rate corresponding to the Monthly 
Periodic Rate will never exceed EIGHTEEN PERCENT (18%), which is called the �Maximum Annual Percentage 
Rate�.  
a. The index used to calculate the periodic rate is the �prime rate� as published in the Money Rates table of the Wall 
Street Journal. The index value used for a given billing cycle will be the value published on the last day of your 
previous billing cycle. If the index is not published that day, the most recently published va lue before that day will 
be used to determine the Monthly Periodic Rate. If more than one prime rate is published, the index will be the 
highest rate published. If the Wall Street Journal ceases as a publication, we may use the prime rate published by 
any other newspaper or general circulation.  If the Annual Percentage Rate increases, your periodic payment 
amount may increase.  
b. Depending on your creditworthiness, we will add 4.24, 6.24, or 13.49  percentage points to the index value to get 
the Annual Percenta ge Rate that will apply to your respective account for the next billing cycle. Then, the Annual 
Percentage Rate for the billing cycle will be divided by 12 to get the Monthly Periodic Rate for the billing cycle.  
c. In the event the effective Annual Percentage Rate for the billing cycle exceeds the Maximum Annual Percentage 
Rate we will divide the appropriate Maximum rate by 12 to get the Monthly Periodic Rate for the billing cycle.  
  
11. When Interest Charge Is Imposed.  
Cash Advance s and Balance Transfer s: There is no �free period.� An interest charge will be imposed as of the date 
of each cash advance  or balance transfer  that you obtain through the use of your card  and will continue to accrue until 
the date of full payment and all billed interest charges  have been credited to your account. Such interest will appear 
on your next statement.  
 
Retail Purchases of Goods and Services : There is a �free period.� When the total balance is paid in full within 
twenty -five (25) days after the statement date (on or be fore the payment due date), no additional interest charge will 
be applied to new purchases appearing on the statement. If the new balance is not paid in full each month, within the 
prescribed time limitation, an interest charge will be imposed on the previ ous balance and on new purchases as of the 
date such purchase is posted to your account. Interest will continue to accrue until the date full payment of these 
items and all billed interest has been credited to your account. Such interest charges will appea r on your next 
statement.  
 
12. How We Compute the Balance on which Interest Charges Are Assessed.  If payment in full for the entire new 
balance shown on your statement from the previous billing cycle was received by us within 25 days after the 
statement date ( by the payment due date), new charges appearing on the current statement are excluded from the 
following calculation: We figure the interest charge on your account by applying the periodic rate to the �average daily 
balance� of your account (including curr ent transactions). To get the �average daily balance,� we take the beginning 
balance of your account each day, add any new advances or purchases and subtract any payments or credits and 
any unpaid interest and fees. This gives us the daily balance. Then we  add up all the daily balances for the billing 
cycle and divide by the total number of days in the billing cycle. This gives us the �average daily balance.� The 
�average daily balance� is then multiplied by the periodic rate shown above to determine your p eriodic interest charge.

statement will reflect the conversion of the foreign currency transaction amount into U.S. dollars. The currency

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 whethe r 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 t o 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 yo u 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.

Your Rights If You Are Dissatisfied With Your Credit Card Purchases  
If you are dissatisfied wit h 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 foll owing 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 is necessary if your purchase was 
based on an advertis ement 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 .
